Guo Biao and Qin Xiaolan left Renqiu Oilfield with regrets and moved to the temporary habitat of the task force.
An hour later, the senior officers of the North China Front led by Juichi Terauchi also left, leaving only Lieutenant General Seishiro Sakagaki, commander of the 5th Division, and his 21st Brigade.
The 5th Division is closest to Renqiu, so Juichi Terauchi handed over the first round of defense tasks to Seishiro Sakagaki. The importance of Renqiu Oilfield to Japan is self-evident, from the emperor to ordinary people. After hearing the news, the common people were all ecstatic. The domestic fanaticism affected the judgment of frontline officers such as Terauchi Juichi. For this reason, Terauchi even stopped the North China strategy and switched from an offensive posture to a defensive posture. Reduce the strength of the troops and re-divide the battle zones of each division with Renqiu Oil Field as the center, in order to firmly hold the treasure of Renqiu Oil Field in their hands. The supreme commander's caution awaits the decision of division-level military leaders such as Sakagawa Zheng. The officer's nerves were also highly tense. After Juichi Terauchi and others left, Sei Sakagaki immediately called together the officers above the captain of the 21st Brigade and held a defense work meeting.
"Gentlemen, I don't need to elaborate on the importance of Renqiu Oilfield to the empire. I remind you that if something goes wrong during our army's defensive rotation, then you, including me, can We packed our bags and prepared to return to China. What awaited us would definitely be a trial by a military court. On the surface, the regular Chinese army had been driven out of Jicha by us. However, based on the response of the various suppression teams sent to the countryside during this period, in Jicha Within the territory, there are still various forms of guerrillas. These Chinese people may not be good at fighting, but they are first-rate masters at wreaking havoc. Jicha was originally the territory of the Xuebing Army. They were deeply influenced by Ouyang Yun and became extremely hateful. Therefore, we must guard against the crazy behavior of the Chinese people. There is nothing to worry about during the day. The Chinese people will not be stupid enough to throw themselves into a trap. The key is at night. The fortifications are still under construction and the lighting facilities have not been installed yet. We can only use our numerical advantage and diligence to make up for this lack. Starting tonight, during the rotation of our army, I, Major General Miura Toshiji, and Colonel Nishimura Toshio will take turns on duty at the headquarters, responsible for dispatching and For coordination work, I am responsible for eight to eleven o'clock, Miura-kun from eleven to two o'clock in the morning, and Nishimura Colonel from two o'clock to five o'clock in the morning. In terms of patrol, there is a squadron every two hours, in squad units, with ten minutes intervals. Let’s set off in order, starting with the first brigade of the 21st Regiment. Gentlemen, please make it clear to the squad leader when you get down. If anything unusual is discovered during the patrol, flares will be fired immediately. Understand.”
All the Japs stood up and said loudly: "Hai."
Sakagaki Seishiro looked at his watch and said: "Then let's start now, Colonel Hide Kuririihara, you stay."
"Hai." Hide Kuririihara responded respectfully and stepped aside to let others pass.
After everyone left, Masi Sakagaki walked up to Kurioishi and said: "To ensure nothing goes wrong, Your Excellency the Commander has left four support teams. Kurioishi, you have received special training in Germany. These four I want to hand over the command to you as a stand-up team, I hope you won’t let me down.”
Li Fan immediately bowed his head respectfully and said loudly: "I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Nodding, Sakagaki shouted loudly outside: "Please come in, Ohara-kun."
"Hai." A loud response came from the door. A few minutes later, a kid wearing the rank of captain stood upright at the door, lowered his head and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Captain Obara Ken of the Obara Team is reporting to you."
Seeing him, Seishiro Sakagaki showed an appreciative smile on his face, and turned to Hide Kuririihara and said: "Graduated from the German Army University, specializing in special operations, and can skillfully use more than 20 kinds of well-known firearms at home and abroad; passed the graduation examination, and was able to Overcoming many competitors, he won the first place in the overall score; he single-handedly formed the Ohara Fighting Team and led the team to kill more than 50 Chinese bandits and captured 17 alive when they were wiping out the Chinese bandits in the Northeast in May. Among them was a bandit leader. Among them, he killed nine people by himself and captured three alive. Kurihan-kun, I asked Ohara-kun to be your assistant, what do you think?"
Obara Ken walked up to Kuri Iihara Hide and saluted: "Your Excellency, Colonel, please take good care of me."
Kuri Iihara returned the military salute and said politely: "Let us work hard together for the great cause of His Majesty the Emperor."
"Hai."
It had only been three days since the Renqiu Oilfield was discovered by the Japanese army. For this reason, no matter how solemn Juichi Terauchi or Seishiro Sakagaki acted, Hide Kuririihara felt a little disapproval in his heart. He felt that the time was so short, and the Chinese top brass might still be able to do so. He didn't get the news, and the peasants nearby who were armed with neither equipment nor quality were nothing to be afraid of. Just a few days ago, he easily killed one of them. Out of this thought , after Hide Kuririishi left from Sakagaki Seishiro, he did not rush to combine the four support teams and explain specific matters. Instead, he brought Obara sword to his headquarters and asked his subordinates to prepare some side dishes. Sipping a glass of wine, I discussed some of the training and combat methods of the German Army with great interest, treating it as an opportunity to learn and improve.
In response to the laziness of the chief officer, Obara Ken, who was the adjutant, could not act aggressively. Moreover, Kuri Iihara Hide's humility in asking for advice greatly satisfied Obara Ken's vanity. As a result, the two people hated each other. He looked like he was late at night, chatting eloquently, and within an hour, he was so drunk that his face turned red.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, the two men were still drinking. Suddenly, a whistle sounded from the military camp outside, and then there was a mess and messy footsteps. Although the two men were red-faced, they were not drunk yet. They smelled like Startled, he quickly dropped his wine glass, bowls and chopsticks and ran out. When he left the headquarters, he bumped into a battalion captain, Qiao Yuan Zhongren, who came to report the enemy's situation.
"Your Excellency, we have just received reports that the Chinese men responsible for leveling the corn fields are rioting."
"Ba Ge, these stupid Chinese pigs, since they want to die, they will all die." Li Fan roared loudly, pulled out his pistol, and fired a shot into the air. Soon, the troops directly under the regiment, a Squadron-sized military policemen rushed out of the barracks one after another. At this time, Hide Kuririishihara was still completely awake, and told Takeru Obara to quickly gather four support teams to strengthen the defense of the construction site to prevent him from falling into the Chinese people's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He also asked people to report the situation to Seishiro Sakagaki immediately, then gathered the team, got on a three-wheeled motorcycle, and headed towards the cornfield that was in chaos in the southeast.
The so-called young man riot was naturally the work of Guo Biao. Through daytime reconnaissance, and after becoming familiar with the strength and layout of the Japanese army, he realized that it would be very difficult for the mere twenty-seven members of the task force to complete the mission. Difficulty, first of all, entering is a problem. The number of the task force is too small and there is a lack of offensive weapons. It seems that the Japanese army must be disrupted and confused, so that they can take advantage of it and return to their temporary habitat. I saw Cai Taigen, the leader of the guerrillas in this area, thought about it and came up with such a strategy.
The guerrillas in the Renqiu area were all spontaneously reorganized from the former Self-Defense Forces who were stranded in the area. Qin Xiaolan and others naturally had to rely on their strength if they wanted to operate in Renqiu. Many of the leaders, such as Cai Taigen, were developed After becoming a downline, Qin Xiaolan came forward. Cai Taigen took over the task without hesitation, and then personally led about 130 guerrillas. Taking advantage of the Japanese army's overnight construction, he quietly sneaked into the young team and planned it with his own hands. this riot,
Because of the importance of the Renqiu Oilfield, although the top brass of the North China Front took precautions, the lower-level officers and soldiers did not have such awareness. During the day, these Japs still performed their duties as supervisors in a decent manner, but at night, many of them began to desert. Well, tonight’s supervisor is Ichiro Muramasa, a squadron leader affiliated with the 4th Battalion of the 21st Wing.
Muramasa felt that the army's food was poor, so he didn't eat a bite during dinner. At about seven o'clock, he was very hungry. He went to Lin Yang, the captain of the puppet army's plainclothes team, and said: "Lin Sang, the imperial army is hungry." , yours, go to the nearby village to order some wine and food."
Lin Yang naturally did not dare to refuse, and immediately nodded respectfully and bowed: "Okay, okay." Then he called his men: "Brothers, Taijun wants to have his teeth beaten as a sacrifice, let's go and order some food and drinks."
Lin Yang's hands and feet were very nimble. In less than half an hour, he caused harm to a village. He led a pig, a few chickens, and two jars of rice wine back to the construction site. In order to make Taijun eat and drink well, he even They also captured a cook,
Another half hour passed, and a group of Japanese officers headed by Muramasa started eating and drinking around the fire.
Lin Yang didn't know that the cook they captured was actually one of Cai Taigen's men. This cook was cunning and cunning. At least, that's what the villagers who came to understand thought so, because the cook actually drugged the dishes and did so openly. in front of his own face,
Muramasa was actually very cautious, so when the cook named Da Gouzi was making braised pork, he kept an eye on him and saw Da Gouzi taking out a small bottle from his body and looking like he was going to put it into the pot. However, the vigilant little devil immediately snatched it up, put it under his nose and smelled it, then stared with a pair of fish eyes and shouted: "Ba Ge, what is this, poison."
Big Gouzi hurriedly waved his hand: "Taijun, you have wronged me. How could I have the courage? This, this is seasoning, add it, it will be delicious."
The powder in the bottle did have a fragrance. Muramasa was dubious. He smelled it again and again, and stared at the big dog's eyes again and again. He felt that he didn't see any flaws, so he handed the bottle back. He gave it to him and said, "It's done. It's yours. Eat two pieces first."
"Yes, yes, Taijun, don't worry, I will eat it first." Da Gouzi took the medicine and the dishes were cooked. In front of Muramasa, he ate a few pieces of each item first and then ate it. , smash it, smash it in the mouth,
Da Gouzi's performance dispelled Muramasa's last doubts. The little devil directly picked up a piece of braised pork with his hands and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it twice, then patted Da Gouzi on the shoulder and said: "Yours, a good citizen." It’s great.”
As soon as Muramasa started to move, the other team captains became rude. A dozen Japanese officers gathered around a large plate of braised pork, a large plate of chicken soup, and a jar of rice wine, and they couldn't wait to eat and drink. Seeing this, they all Gouzi took out a pill from his body and threw it into his mouth. This was the antidote he had prepared.
Muramasa waited for the Japanese officers to eat and drink first, and then it was the turn of the Japanese soldiers. While the big dog was delivering braised pork and other dishes to the little Japanese sentry posts, the cornfield was surrounded by the little Japanese. Inside, many young and strong men threw away their corn-cutting belongings. Some of them held the short guns hidden on their bodies, while others simply lay on the ground and pulled out the long guns from the corn stalks. They stared nervously. Holding the big dog, waiting for him to make a sign of action,
