Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

The Nationalist Government delegation was headed by Qian Dawei, Director of the First Division of the Attendant Office, and there were more than [-] people including the Deputy Director of the Political Training Division of the First War Zone, Zheng Yaoxian, the station chief of the Luoyang Station of the Military Command, and reporters from the Central Daily.

In addition, there were also persons in charge of many newspapers such as Ta Kung Pao and Shenbao, and representatives of various democratic parties, local warlords, and European and American countries gathered in the mountain city to go north with the Nationalist Government delegation.

On April 1942, 4, the delegation arrived in Luoyang, and then crossed the Yellow River to Changzhi.

After Fan Hanjie received the news, he went out of the city to greet him as the commander-in-chief of the 24th Army Group. Accompanied by waves of smoke and dust, a mighty convoy appeared at the south gate of Changzhi.

In front of the convoy were two military trucks. A group of soldiers of the national army with live ammunition got out of the trucks and immediately put on guard. Qian Dajun was riding in a jeep. Seeing this, Fan Hanjie rushed to meet him, opened the car door, and supported Qian Dajun. got out of the car.

"Teacher has worked hard all the way, and I have made arrangements in the city!" Fan Hanjie said softly.

"Hey, this person is getting old, so he can't keep tossing around, his old bones almost fell apart!" Qian Dajun briefly stretched his muscles and bones, then glanced back at the rest of the delegation: "The security work must be done well. , if something happens to these people under our noses, the old man will have to let the spit star drown!"

"Yes, students understand, please rest assured, teacher!" Fan Hanjie showed great respect.

Fan Hanjie, as a local member of the Central Army, holds the military and political power in the Changzhi area. Even Li Mo'an, the commander of the first war zone, doesn't pay attention to him, but he dare not show off in front of Qian Dajun.

In terms of qualifications, Fan Hanjie, as a first-term student of Whampoa, is in the forefront of Whampoa students, but Qian Dajun is a veteran of the government. He was born in Baoding Military Academy, and later went to Japan. As an instructor, Fan Hanjie is considered a student.

In terms of status, Qian Dajun is the director of the old man's attendant office, and he has to pass all the telegrams to and from him.

"Did the Eighth Route Army notify the specific time and place of the trial meeting?" Qian Dajun asked.

Fan Hanjie heard the words and replied: "No, our department has asked many times, and the Eighth Route Army just replied and waited for the notification!"

"How did it happen? Is this the way the Eighth Route Army treats guests?" Qian Dajun snorted coldly, obviously quite dissatisfied.

The conversation is divided into two parts, the trial will be held soon, and considering the convenience of the delegation's travel, the Eighth Route Army headquarters has been transferred from Wuxiang to Shexian County. At that time, the delegation only needs to drive along the Hanchang Highway to Shexian County.

In a certain room, Chief of Staff Teng, Zhou Weihan, the heads of the Social Work Department and the Security Department gathered together.

"Briefly speaking, the division of labor, the internal guards are in charge of the Social Work Department and the Comrades of the Security Office, the entire Yetao Town is in charge of the guard regiment, and the peripheral security work is in charge of the Tainan Military Region. Zhou Weihan, She County is your territory, so you must take care of the first one. A line of defense!" Chief of Staff Teng said.

"Yes, Chief of Staff, I have asked people to make a complete arrangement. The two regiments of the Tainan Division [-] are responsible for guarding various important places along the Hanchang Highway. The Fifth Regiment is responsible for stationing at the junction of Wu'an and Yetao Town. Security work in the southeast of Yetao Town!"

"In addition, the local armed forces and militias spread out from both sides of the road, and strictly guard the idlers who enter and exit the base area!" Zhou Weihan said.

Chief of Staff Teng nodded when he heard the words, and when he was about to speak, the head of the Telecommunications Department of the headquarters pushed the door open: "Chief of Staff, the Northern Bureau forwarded a telegram!"

"What content?"

"It's the information about the delegation reported by the love workers!"

After reading it, Chief of Staff Teng passed the telegram to Zhou Weihan and the others. The content of the telegram was extremely succinct, with only a few words: There may be some people in the entourage of the government.

There was no name on the place where the signature was signed, but Zhou Weihan had read the list of delegations and guessed in his mind that it was most likely the telegram sent by Zheng Yaoxian.

Seeing Zhou Weihan staring at the telegram in a daze, the director of the Telecommunications Department couldn't help reminding: "Zhou **!"

"what?"

"telegraph!"

"Ah!" Zhou Weihan handed over the telegram and returned it. A telegram of this level must be destroyed after reading it, but the head of the Social Work Department of the Northern Bureau looked at Zhou Weihan in surprise.

"That's right, our technicians who listened to the Japanese military's telegrams responded that the headquarters of the Japanese Army's dispatched army and the North China Dispatch Command have frequently exchanged telegrams during this period, and the word "aircraft" has been mentioned many times. Our Eighth Route Army will hold the trial smoothly, and tell us your opinions!" Chief of Staff Teng said.

"Our intelligence personnel did not know the specific movements of the Japanese army. It seems that the Japanese army's operation has a high level of secrecy. If Japanese spies are really mixed into the delegation, can everyone hand over their weapons before entering the venue? Or conduct a full inspection?"

"On the other hand, due to our extremely high secrecy standards, we did not notify the specific time and place of the venue in advance, so even if there are spies in the delegation, how should we report after being notified temporarily?" Director of the Security Division suggested.

"There is only one way, and that is the radio station, but if the national government officials don't say anything, I am afraid that every force will carry a radio station for the convenience of contact, so it will be difficult to investigate!"

"I'll discuss this point, but I'm worried that the mission of Japanese spies mixed into the delegation is not aimed at assassinating or rescuing Mamoru Iinuma. After all, our Eighth Route Army's big momentum is tantamount to embarrassing the Japanese army. Will let the opportunity pass so easily!" Chief of Staff Teng said.

"Such a good opportunity, if I were the Japanese army, taking advantage of the presence of the delegation, I would directly take over the delegation, and the lost face would come back?" Zhou Weihan continued.

"So, the Japanese army is very likely to be thinking like you, but it's just that I still can't figure out how to do it like this!"

"The entire territory of Wuxiang, Tunliu, and Xiangyuan counties was recovered by our Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese army in Liao County was trapped in the county. In contrast, the Tainan base area has a deeper foundation and has been stable for a long time. For the Japanese army, it is no different from a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. The sweep has just ended, and it is impossible to organize another offensive with heavy troops!" Chief of Staff Teng said one after another.

The biggest threat is the air bombing from the Japanese aircraft, but the Eighth Route Army has already arranged for this. Zhou Weihan will use more than ten anti-aircraft machine guns seized from Shimen Airport, plus twelve anti-aircraft machine guns in Pingshun County, and six anti-aircraft machine guns on Yanwang Mountain. The anti-aircraft guns are concentrated around the venue, and the Tainan Flying Team is on standby at any time.

The main force of the Japanese army's flight group in China was transferred away, and the only formed flight team was in Shanghai. Once the plane took off, not to mention people watching near the airport, the flight distance spanned thousands of miles, passing through the territory of the Eighth Route Army and the National Army along the way. If you are not blind, you can spot the movements of the Japanese aircraft.

As for the Japanese ground troops attacking the Taihang base area again, everyone present knew that the Japanese army no longer had the strength.

The conversation was divided into two parts. Just as the Eighth Route Army was actively making arrangements, Handan ushered in an unexpected visitor.

Jun Takeshita, the rank of Colonel, served as the captain of the No.12 Army directly under the Bamboo Squad. He is the master of Beichen's swordsmanship. He graduated from a German military academy and led the special forces to perform beheading missions many times.

Terauchi Isao held a piece of information about Takeshita Toshi in his hand: "The Yamamoto secret service team? It's really interesting!"

The adjutant knocked on the door and came in, and reported to Qianqian: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, Commander Takeshita asks for a meeting!"

"Let him in!" After Yuuchi finished speaking, he changed hands and put the materials in the drawer.

Si Nei Yong is very curious, what is the purpose of this uninvited guest who arrived in Handan two days ago, whether it is a dragon or a tiger, when they arrive at my Si Nei Yong's territory, they have to give me a peaceful squint.

"Your Excellency, General, I came here today to thank you for your hospitality!" After entering the room, Takeshita Shun bowed respectfully with a warm smile on his face.

Yuu Terauchi has always been a polite person. Compared with Kazuki Yamamoto, who is arrogant, Takeshita Toshi's polite behavior immediately welcomed Yuu Terauchi's favor.

"Please sit down!" Temple Yong stretched out his hand to signal, and then ordered the adjutant to serve tea.

"It's not about hospitality, I wanted to arrange you into the city, but I've gotten used to it in the past two days!" Terauchi Yong asked.

"Hi! The residence is very satisfactory!" Takeshita Toshi replied with a smile.

"Oh, that's good. I'm worried that you won't be treated properly when you come from afar!"

The purpose of Jun Takeshita's special forces came to disturb the situation of the Eighth Route Army Trial Council. Of course, the most suitable place to stay temporarily is Handan, where the 41st Division is located.

Therefore, Terauchi Yong received a secret message from the headquarters of the North China Dispatch Army a few days ago, ordering him to do his best to cooperate with the actions of the bamboo team.

As the head of the 41st Division, Yu Terauchi didn't know what the specific action was, but from the fact that the Bamboo team was resting in HD, it must be aimed at the trial meeting held by the Eighth Route Army.

Terauchiyong's heart twitched at the time, Zhou Weihan, don't be so unlucky to let the bamboo team stare at him.

"Takeshita-kun, have you ever heard of Kazuki Yamamoto?" Yuuchi asked tentatively.

"Oh, Mr. Yamamoto is my senior. I admire him very much, but it's a pity that I never had the chance to meet him!" Jun Takeshita said regretfully.

"In that case, I'm curious, who is better between your bamboo team and the Yamamoto special team?"

"The general really praised me too much. My department is just an intelligence-gathering formation. How can it be compared with the Yamamoto Special Forces?"

"Okay, I won't inquire about your missions. Feel free to ask if you need any cooperation, but I still need to remind you that the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area is different from the Eighth Route Army in other places. This is where the Eighth Route Army headquarters is located!"

"Kazuki Yamamoto is proficient in special operations, and has repeatedly threatened to use special operations to solve the Eighth Route Army headquarters, but the first time he led his troops to attack, he fell here. You still need to be more careful!" Terauchi Yong said.

Facing Isamu Terauchi's kind reminder, Takeshita Toshi's heart shuddered. The Yamamoto Special Forces once became a joke inside the Japanese army. For such a lesson from the past, Takeshita Toshi will certainly learn a lesson.

From the beginning of the establishment of the Special Forces, only a few high-level officials of the No.12 Army knew that when they first came to Handan this time, according to Isamu Terauchi's intention, they arranged for the Bamboo Squad to station in Handan City, but Jun Takeshita politely refused.

In a certain stronghold in the west of Handan City, there was suddenly a puppet army changing defenses. Even Jin Biao, the security commander of the puppet army, was unaware of this abnormal situation.

"Hi, thank you General for your reminder!" Immediately, Takeshita Jun stood up and said goodbye.

After Jun Takeshita left, Yuu Terauchi felt very uneasy. The Bamboo team was like a time bomb. Once it exploded in the defense area of ​​the 41st Division, it would most likely affect his cooperative relationship with the Eighth Route Army. pick up the phone.

"Mosimoxi!"

"I'm Zhao Gang, the temple master?" Zhao Gang's voice came from the microphone.

Si Neiyong has been in single-line contact with Zhou Weihan, subconsciously wanting to hang up the phone: "Isn't Mr. Zhou in Yanwang Mountain?"

"Comrade Zhou Weihan has important matters to attend to. If Si Neiyong has important matters to discuss, I can convey them on his behalf!"

"It's like this. Two days ago, Handan came to Handan with a unit named Bamboo Squadron. The commander is Takeshita Jun. According to my guess, this unit is probably a special force similar to Yamamoto's special forces. It is currently stationed in Erlangzhuang stronghold in the west of Handan City, as for the purpose of coming here, I don’t need to say more!”

"I want to reiterate here that anything that happened to the bamboo team in the defense area of ​​my 41st division has nothing to do with our department. I don't want to affect our relationship!" Terauchi Yong hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

On Yanwang Mountain, Zhao Gang held the microphone and fell into deep thought. Then he became excited and realized that this Japanese army was coming for the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the upcoming trial meeting.

Zhao Gang hurried out of Zhou Weihan's office and found the telegraph operator at the headquarters: "Quick, send a report to the Communist Party immediately!"

As soon as the screen changed, it was the base of the She County Base Corps.

"Takeshita Jun, is that him?" Zhou Weihan chanted this impressive name. In his memory, Takeshita Jun was Zhou Weiguo's good friend, but after graduation, due to the war between China and Japan, the two broke up.

"Communist, what is there to be afraid of the special forces of the little devil, the previous Yamamoto special forces are still in your hands!" The monk said indifferently.

"Bullshit, fortunately I got the other party's information in advance this time, otherwise"

A force similar to the reconnaissance company is hidden in the dark, and the damage it may cause makes Zhou Weihan shudder. When Zhou Weihan was able to lead his troops to wipe out the Yamamoto secret service team in one fell swoop, he set up a trap in advance based on the favorable terrain, waiting for Yamamoto Kazuki to lead People got in.

"Notify the reconnaissance company and rush to She County immediately!"

"At the same time, call back Yanwangshan. Yanwangshan needs to be more vigilant. The regiments below the mountain stand still and deploy defenses as usual, and let the Japanese bamboo team come in!" Zhou Weihan said.

"Yes!" The telegraph operator on the side responded immediately.
