Chapter 83 The Imperial Army

In this era, the train departs from Beijing along the Jingfeng Line to Qinhuangdao Station, and it only takes about half a day. It will definitely not be delayed until it departs in November and arrives in early December like historical records.

So Wang Dong guessed that the train would encounter something on the way, so he didn't dare to relax for a moment after getting on the train.

At about one o'clock in the morning, the train had passed Fengtai, and everything was fine. When Wang Dong began to wonder if his prediction was wrong, he suddenly felt his body fall forward due to inertia, and the whole train braked suddenly.

coming!

Wang Dong quickly opened the car window to look around.

In the dark night, he vaguely saw a group of people standing in front of the railway, and they were constantly lighting the signal lights.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? Why did the car stop?"

Wang Dong was not the only one who didn't dare to sleep tonight. When Wang Dong walked out of the private room, Zhou Wenbo and the others had already dressed and hurriedly prepared to check the situation.

Wang Dong hurriedly pretended to be dissatisfied after being woken up, and got out of the car with them cursing.

At the front of the car, Douglas had already got off, and he was saying loudly in English: "Why do you want to stop the car? Who are you from?"

Opposite him were a dozen people wearing brown and yellow military uniforms. Wang Dong had learned about the equipment of various armed forces in North China before he came, and he immediately recognized that these people should be dressed as the pseudo-North China Security Army, which is also commonly known as the Yellow Gouzi and the Imperial Association Army.

The people on the side of the Imperial Association Army obviously didn't expect to stop a white officer, and they were very nervous. A yellow dog officer with crooked melon and cracked dates was explaining with a bitter face: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we have no malicious intentions, no harm. malicious."

Wu Xunzhang quickly went up and translated Douglas's words.

"We are the Fourth Regiment of the Second Brigade of the US Marine Corps in China. This train is the property of the US Marine Corps. We have communicated with the Japanese side about our actions. Who are you? Why did you block the train?"

The yellow dog officer heard that the opposite was an American soldier, and his face became even more bitter.

He introduced himself: "I, Mo Huaide, am the squadron leader of the North China Security Army. In the mountains ahead, the Imperial Army is carrying out the task of suppressing the Communists. Our squadron is ordered to guard the railway line and cannot let a single train pass."

Mo Huaide smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Dao, Mr. Dao, please cooperate and go to the nearby Zhuangzi to rest for a while. When the task of suppressing the Communist Party is over, we will naturally let you go there."

Zhou Wenbo and the others couldn't help being nervous when they heard that it was very dangerous for a car transporting specimens to be parked on the railway. Sun Chetai hurriedly said: "This is a violation of the agreement. The US embassy has notified the North China Political Affairs Committee and received everything promised to the US military this time." Movement will not be blocked. You can't stop cars!"

Facing the Chinese, Mo Huaide was obviously not that scared. He looked Sun Chetai up and down a few times, and said with a wry smile: "This is the action of the imperial army, and the North China Political Affairs Committee has nothing to do with it. If you have any opinions, you have to make peace with them." The imperial army said go."

While several people were talking, there were indeed sporadic gunshots nearby.

Mo Huaide was a little nervous when he heard the gunshots, and quickly said: "We are also following orders. There is really a war ahead. Let's go. This is about to come."

"Damn it, there's a real war going on."

Several people were speechless and found that Douglas also became nervous when he heard the gunshots.

Zhou Wenbo hurriedly said, "Lieutenant, we can't stay here."

Douglas shook his head, "The railway was blocked. The order I received did not encourage me to actively conflict with the task forces. I will report the situation to the higher authorities, but we really can't leave now."

Zhou Wenbo and the others couldn't help being excited when they heard the words, and kept saying that they couldn't stop, but Douglas had already made up his mind. He left a few soldiers guarding the train, asked someone to bring the radio, and followed Mo Huaide's subordinates to the nearest village. go.

Wu Hanzhang could only say: "I will stay and look at the specimens."

Zhou Wenbo nodded helplessly, "If we can't leave tomorrow, we will replace you."

Wang Dong pretended to be dissatisfied and complained a few words, so he had no choice but to go back to the car to get a bag containing silver dollars, and followed the large army.

Halfway through the mountain road, the sounds from behind became more and more intense.

Sun Chetai looked at Mo Huaide and discussed in English with Zhou Wenbo in a low voice: "It sounds like a cannon was fired?"

Zhou Wenbo obviously had some military knowledge, and replied: "The sound doesn't sound like a devil's gun. It should be an 82mm mortar made by the Jinling Arsenal. This is the guerrilla zone of the Communist Party. The Communist Party's equipment is not good enough, but there are mortars." The gunners should be the main force of the Communist Party. I don’t know how many of them there are.”

The few people continued to walk, Wang Dong listened to the sound of the artillery, the mortar fired about ten rounds, and then heard the sound of the charge.

Zhou Wenbo frowned and sighed: "The Communist Party can only charge after the shells are fired. Alas, there are too few ammunition prepared. How many can break through like this?"

Although they were from Chongqing, they couldn't help but sweat for this armed force that had broken through.

Soon, several people heard dense explosions, which were far stronger than the previous mortar sounds.

"Damn it, the devil is closing the net."

At this time, a soldier of the Imperial Association Army came on horseback and said a few words to Mo Huaide who was riding on the horse. If it is inconvenient, turn around and tell brother, now that you are on military affairs, brother has to go."

After he finished speaking, he clasped his fists at several people, hit the horse and walked back the way he had come.

Sun Chetai asked in a low voice, "Why did he go?"

Zhou Wenbo snorted coldly: "Hmph, most likely the communist army failed to break through the siege, and this traitor is eager to grab credit. This group of imperial association troops can do something about it. The country is unfortunate."

As he spoke, he looked around. Wang Dong was listening carefully to their conversation. Seeing Zhou Wenbo looking over, he quickly pretended to be indifferent. Zhou Wenbo couldn't help but let out another cold snort of contempt.

A group of people soon arrived at the village, and Wang Dong discovered that the entire village is now the garrison of the Imperial Association Army.

The squadron of the Imperial Association Army under Mo Huaide imitated the squadron configuration of the Japanese army. It can have more than 150 people. In normal times, it should control the strength of a county. Now they are willing to pull them all out to fight on the edge of the battlefield. It seems that this time The actions of the Japanese puppet eradication campaign were not small.

Wang Dong and his party, including marines, train drivers, coolies, etc., a total of more than 40 people, were temporarily arranged in the house of a wealthy family in the village.

The old man was obviously forced to do nothing. He accepted that Wang Dong and the others would have to provide food for their stay. He didn't know how much money he would spend. When he saw Douglas, he smiled bitterly.

Near the village, gunshots rang out all night, and Mo Huaide escorted a dozen men with tired faces back to the village in the early morning of the next day.

Zhou Wenbo and Sun Chetai hurriedly went to see it, and Wang Dong also pretended to be curious and followed.

Seeing Mo Huaide's face full of joy, he laughed loudly and said: "This is really eight ways!"

Wang Dong took a closer look at those eight groups, and saw that although their clothes were shabby, they could still cover their bodies, and their bodies were actually quite strong, which was obviously better than the Huangxie army around them.

It was only then that Wang Dong remembered that the Jidong Anti-Japanese Base Area was not small at this time, and this year it should be carrying out a large-scale production campaign. He would make enough food and clothing by himself, and the food supply situation would definitely be much better than that of the Royal Association Army, which was eating blood from top to bottom. .
