Lost and Spy

Hermit Village.

Here, it is said that in the Tang Dynasty, there was a great sage, and the court wanted to recruit him as an official several times, but the sage didn't want to step into the officialdom, and couldn't bear the disturbance, so he moved here with his whole family.

Since then, the clouds and wild cranes have been at ease.

Therefore, this place is called the hermit village.

When the government was preparing for the Battle of the Stone Pai, it also placed a squad of soldiers here.

The task of squad leader Luan Zishi is to protect the military supplies stored here.

Mainly some sacks, oil and so on.

This is far from the front line.

War is not a threat here for the time being.

It looked like it was getting dark.

Luan Zishi stretched.

Suddenly, a truck drove over.

The truck stopped, and a national army major jumped out of the car.

Then, more than a dozen national army soldiers jumped out of the carriage.

Luan Zishi went up to salute: "Good command, sir!"

The major replied with a salute: "I am from the 18th Division and was ordered to deploy for defense."

"Yes, sir." Luan Zishi insisted, "Password!"

The major hesitated for a moment: "Adjutant You, what is today's password?"

"The password is..."

At this moment, a dozen or so soldiers behind the major suddenly flashed out, and a rain of bullets shot out.

Luan Zishi was already ready to give the order to be alert, but the attack came too suddenly.

Luan Zishi and his brothers were caught off guard and were swept down in a pool of blood.

This group of killers is very organized.

Their first target was not Luan Zishi, but the machine gunner behind him!

The hermit village is far away from the front line, and it is too peaceful, which will inevitably paralyze people's minds.

In addition, this group of people are wearing national army uniforms, and the submachine guns and rifles they use are all used by the national army, which is also very concealed.

The machine gunner was originally watching the excitement, but when the sudden change came to the fore, it was too late to resist.

This group of killers moved quickly and their marksmanship was precise. In just a short while, Luan Zishi and his men were all killed.

The other four soldiers who came after hearing the sound of gunshots, some fired a shot, and some raised their guns, and were shot dead by the other party.

"Your Excellency, Nakamura Funamoto, all Chinese soldiers will be dealt with!"

"Mr. Komatsu, I told you, call me Major."

"Yes, Major!"

Funaben waved his hand: "Burn all supplies, and shoot all Chinese people you see!"

"Hay!"

……

"Report."

"Say."

"I was attacked at the material storage point in the hermit village. All the soldiers in a squad were killed, 25 civilians were massacred, and at the same time, the materials were burned!"

"The Japanese did it again."

Hu Lian, commander of the 11th Division of the National Army, raised his head.

In his eyes, apart from anger, there was more worry: "These Japanese troops, in the form of small units, dispersed their activities and attacked everywhere, causing us great trouble."

Chief of Staff Wang Naichao is also worried: "There are reports of attacks almost every day, but we have repeatedly dispatched troops, but we have no experience in dealing with these people, and we cannot catch them.

These Japanese soldiers are very cunning and act quickly, and they only pick places where our defense forces are empty. "

"Has anyone from the military commander arrived?"

"It stands to reason that it should be here, and I don't know why I haven't come here to report."

Wang Naichao interjected: "I heard that this time Dai Li sent Meng Shaoyuan, his number one favorite general. This person has been fighting Japanese special forces all year round and has rich experience. I hope his arrival can reverse this situation."

"Report, telegram."

"Where did it come from?"

"Advance team of military command stone card."

"Oh, is that so?" Hu Lian ordered immediately:
"read."

"Yes. Master Hu, I'm Meng Shaoyuan. I'm here. I heard that the Hermit Village was attacked. I'm going there to investigate and pursue it. I won't report for the time being. You, Master Hu, are in large numbers. Don't blame it, don't blame it."

Hu Lian and Wang Naichao looked at each other.

What telegram is this?

"Well, I heard that this person is a bit weird." Wang Naichao also said awkwardly: "Dai Li wanted to shoot him several times, but in the end he was unwilling."

Hu Lian snorted coldly: "I don't care how weird he is, in short, he is a good soldier who can help me solve problems!"

……

"The approach is quite professional and the purpose is extremely clear."

Meng Shaoyuan stood up, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and said to the second lieutenant of the 18th Army Gendarmerie: "Okay, we've finished the inspection, please dispose of the body."

Miao Zhixing, who came from Guangxi with Meng Shaoyuan, was furious: "They want to slaughter even innocent people, what a bunch of their beasts!"

But Li Zhifeng is no longer surprised by it: "If you don't do this, you won't be a Japanese. So, you must not be soft when dealing with these bastards, or you will commit a crime."

Miao Zhixing nodded vigorously.

"Where are you going?"

Meng Shaoyuan looked around.

It's also my first time here, so I'm not familiar with it at all.

"Report."

Su Junwen walked over with a local person, a girl, at most sixteen or seventeen years old, probably from the Miao nationality, with a turban tied on her head:

"This is Ximei, volunteering to be our guide."

As he spoke, he approached Meng Shaoyuan and said, "Her parents, younger siblings and younger sister were all killed in this massacre."

With tears in her eyes, Ximei bowed to Meng Shaoyuan: "Sir, I know this place, I know it well, I will take you to find those beasts!"

"Ximei, we will definitely avenge you and the whole village." Meng Shaoyuan said with a gloomy expression, "But before that, you need to do something for me first."

"Sir, tell me, I'm willing to do anything."

"Go and gather the rest of the people in the village, tell me everywhere that there is a group of Japanese pretending to be soldiers of the national army, killing innocent people everywhere."

Meng Shaoyuan explained: "Tell the common people that if they find a small group of national troops, they should immediately report to the local garrison."

"Yes, sir, I'll do it now."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled coldly.

I am unfamiliar with the place of life here, so why not the Japanese?

They are also like blind men who count what they touch.

For example, this Japanese army has been lurking in for a long time.

Otherwise, they would not have touched the hermit village far away from the battlefield.

The attack here was not carefully prepared, but rather accidental.

After they succeeded, they retreated immediately.

However, they also did not have a specific retreat location.

So, there's a good chance they're still around.

There will not be many of them, at most a dozen of them.

They can only attack such small targets.

It's hard to find it by yourself.

But mobilizing the power of the masses?

All the people living here are locals. Once they are mobilized, the Japanese army will have nowhere to hide!
"Li Zhifeng!"

"To!"

"Order the commandos to divide into three groups. I will lead one group, and Yi Mingyan and Su Junwen will each lead a group."

Meng Shaoyuan thought about it for a while: "Each group carries a radio station. From now on, we will spread out and communicate three times a day."

One thing Meng Shaoyuan can be sure of is:

This group of Japanese, who have no place to hide, will be active soon.

(The Chief of Staff of the 11th Division is Wang Yuanzhi, who is famous for his combat expertise and understanding of modern warfare theory. Do you still remember the captured officer in "Bright Sword" and Chang Naichao who later became an instructor, whose prototype is this Wang Yuanzhi. )
