Just when the military commander was about to risk his life, Duanwu had already taken action.
He stabbed one from behind, killing two first, and when the other Gui soldiers reacted, the Dragon Boat Festival's sword had already begun to kill.
The seven Gui troops outflanking the commander from the right, that is, the south, were attacked by Dragon Boat Festival sneak attacks one after another and were hacked to death.
In other words, the Dragon Boat Festival did not disappear just now, but it was just lurking and waiting for the Gui army to get close, and exposed its back.
There were more enemies than Duanwu imagined. Before Duanwu thought, there wouldn't be so many people coming to ambush him. After all, this was a Kuomintang-controlled area. Even if there were Japanese spies infiltrating, there wouldn't be that many people.
But Duanwu miscalculated, and there were far more spies lurking in than he imagined.
In other words, Duanwu knew from the beginning that there would be espionage activities around Li Zhongren and would take action against him.
Perhaps when he came, these spies couldn't tell the time when he entered Xuzhou, but Duanwu deliberately stayed in Xuzhou last night and clearly told them to treat Li Zhongren to dinner the next day before leaving. This was a clear time.
So the Japanese spies were fooled and attacked the Dragon Boat Festival halfway.
However, why is Duan Wu so sure that he is a spy? Why is it that Li Zhongren is not repenting?
In fact, the reason is very simple. If Li Zhongren wanted to kill him, it would not be so troublesome, and if Li Zhongren really wanted to take action, it would not be just a dozen or so people.
So these people must be spies. It's just a little more than Duanwu expected.
He knocked down a dozen of them on the hillside, but fifteen of them approached the mountain path.
And if he had fired again during the Dragon Boat Festival, his whereabouts would have been exposed.
And at that time, it was a situation of one pair of fifteen, and the distance between the two was less than 100 meters.
Once Duanwu's shooting position is discovered by the opponent, with the firepower of fourteen rifles and one machine gun, it will be difficult for Duanwu to gain any advantage.
So he hid himself, and the military off-road vehicle in the forest was so conspicuous that the enemy would definitely notice it.
And everything that happened after that was explained clearly. During the Dragon Boat Festival, they made a sneak attack from behind, killing seven people in a row, and killed all the Japanese spies on the spot.
Of course, the screams the spy made when he died also alerted the spies who were outflanking the army commander from the north.
The Japanese spies shot at the Dragon Boat Festival one after another, but at this moment, a grenade appeared at their feet.
The grenade exploded and three spies were blown away, while other spies were running around to avoid the flying shrapnel.
At this time, Duanwu walked up with a pistol and shot, knocking down all the children with one shot. When Commander Yu stepped out from behind the car, Duanwu had already blown the head of the last spy.
At this time, there was another spy lying on the ground groaning. Duan Wu stepped on his back and shot his head off.
Commander Yu said anxiously: "Leave one alive."
Duanwu put the empty pistol back into the holster and said with a smile: "What? What else do you want to find out from the interrogation and sue our Commander Li?"
Duanwu had known for a long time that even interrogation of these spies would be useless. They were all dead soldiers and they would definitely insist that Li Zhongren sent them here.
Later, Duanwu appealed to Chongqing, and the chairman of the committee punished Li Zhongren. It is not certain that there was even a rift between the two parties because they did not trust Li Zhongren.
So this is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone. Killing Duanwu is the result they most want to see. If they can't kill Duanwu, then blaming Li Zhongren will cause chaos within the Chinese army.
Naturally, the Dragon Boat Festival would not allow the Japanese to succeed, so everyone was killed and no one was left alive.
But at this time, Commander Yu misunderstood and thought it was really the Li Zhongren faction.
He asked in surprise: "Has Commander Li not put down the previous matters yet?"
Duanwu smiled and said: "Let's go, I'll tell you on the way."
Commander Yu had no choice but to get in the car, but at this moment, he found that the Mosin Nagant he had held before the Dragon Boat Festival was missing.
Commander Yu reminded: "Where is your gun?"
Duanwu jumped into the car and motioned to Commander Yu to drive, while saying: "When the gun is used up, of course it has to be returned to others? Do I really want to take someone else's gun to kill the big wild boar?"
"When you took someone else's gun, did you already expect that someone would ambush us?"
Commander Yu was shocked and looked at Duanwu in surprise. He had just guessed and felt terrible. Unexpectedly, it was true. Duanwu had known for a long time that someone would rob and kill him on the way, so he asked for Li Zhongren's gun to defend himself.
At this time of the Dragon Boat Festival, Commander Yu was signaled to drive, and Commander Yu started the car, then turned the wheel left and turned a 90-degree turn, and drove the car onto the mountain road again.
At this time, Duan Wucai said: "I expected it, but I didn't expect there would be so many people. Otherwise, I would have needed a machine gun. Although the Mosin Nagant has high accuracy, it is still very difficult to fight against a charge of more than 20 people."
.”
Commander Yu frowned. He couldn't understand more and more what was going on. He asked: "Brother Duanwu, what is going on? You have to tell me? If Li Zhongren really wants to do something bad to you,
, when the time comes, report it to the chairman of the committee, and I will testify for you."
Duanwu smiled and said: "Don't do it. If we do this, we will be fooled by the Japanese."
Commander Yu was shocked: "You mean these are all Japanese?"
Duanwu nodded and said: "Yes, even if they are not Japanese, they are the Gui army instigated by the Japanese to rebel. It seems that the Gui army has been seriously infiltrated!"
Commander Yu suddenly braked the car and said, "Then we should go back and tell Commander Li about this? There are so many spies around him, wouldn't he be very dangerous?"
"Don't worry, Lao Li is not a fool. There are so many guards around him. The spies can't do anything to him, not to mention that I have left the gun as a reminder for him."
Duanwu patted Commander Yu on the shoulder and motioned for him to continue driving. But in fact, it was far from that simple for Duanwu to leave the gun behind.
Duanwu left the gun behind to make Li Zhongren feel that he owed him a favor. In the future, Duanwu could use this favor to ask Li Zhongren to do something for him, or Duanwu had done something that required Li Zhongren's green light.
For example, Dragon Boat Festival will cooperate with the underground party this time, which is not allowed in the national military order.
And let alone cooperation, if any officer has even the slightest connection with the underground party, he will probably be held accountable.
As for Duan Wu, he was a complete exception. He was so close to the underground party. According to the usual practice, he would have been suspended from his job for investigation and imprisoned.
But the Dragon Boat Festival does not have that, and there is a tendency to develop to a higher level.
However, for some things, it is better to take precautions before they happen. For example, this time when we are cooperating with the underground party, we need Li Zhongren’s green light during the Dragon Boat Festival!
