Chapter 258: Qingquan Muyi, who is extremely lucky
Qingquan Muyi was trying his best to save the situation at this moment.
After knowing that Murakuchi Saburo and others were planning to promote him to the rank of colonel and become a regiment commander, he wanted to contact the Eighth Route Army even more and ask them to help him deal with the matter at the Chiyang Town mine.
Seeing that sending someone to contact them actively didn't work, Qingquan Muyi immediately thought of using the radio he carried with him to contact the Eighth Route Army to see if he could re-establish contact with them.
When Murakuchi Saburo saw that Kiyozumi Muichi was in a panic, he actually thought of using the small radio in his own army to restore contact. He was so panicked that he even lost his mind.
“Qingquan-kun, the radio you brought here can only communicate within a range of thirty kilometers at most.
At this distance, how could we possibly contact the small radio station we sent to the Eighth Route Army?
That radio may have been distributed by the Eighth Route Army to lower-level troops to be used as an ordinary radio station."
After listening to what Murakuchi Saburo said, Qingquan Muyi knew that he had taken it for granted, but Qingquan Muyi still didn't want to give up and spoke again.
"Muraguchi-kun, why don't you give it a try? I've always had good luck, maybe I can get in touch with him?"
Seeing that Qingquan Muyi was so persistent, Murakuchi Saburo could only nod helplessly.
"Okay, have someone bring the radio up here. Captain Takeshita Nobuta at the Xiaocaozhuang stronghold is one of ours, so you don't need to worry.
But for this kind of thing, the fewer people who know about it, the better, so just bring it up and I'll do it."
"Okay, okay, I'll bring the radio up right away."
After listening to what Murakuchi Saburo said, Qingquan Muyi quickly turned around and went downstairs to bring the radio up from the first floor.
"Muraguchi-kun, I'll leave it to you then."
Qingquan Muyi brought the radio up and connected the wires. Then he made room for Murakuchi Saburo to adjust the radio, and ran to the top of the artillery tower to set up the antenna, while asking the soldiers on guard there to go down first.
Saburo Murakuchi began to adjust the radio channel.
In fact, Saburo Murakuchi was not sure whether he could re-establish contact with the Eighth Route Army. There was a report from the Special High Section saying that the Eighth Route Army seemed to have a large radio station.
Murakuchi Saburo didn't know whether the Eighth Route Army would use their large radio station to contact him after losing contact with him and his companions.
But this possibility is very low.
The Eighth Route Army wiped out the entire 4th Brigade in the Shangdang area, and all the soldiers of the three regiments in the Shangdang area were wiped out.
The Eighth Route Army is now at its peak of power.
There is no longer much benefit in continuing to contact them.
In terms of arms trade, the Eighth Route Army seized so many weapons and equipment, and various places reported that direct fire had appeared in many units of the Eighth Route Army, which means that the Eighth Route Army was probably no longer short of weapons and equipment.
Under such circumstances, the weapons and equipment in their hands were not so attractive to the Eighth Route Army.
Without something attractive enough, the Eighth Route Army would naturally no longer regard the transaction between them as important.
At most, I was thinking about whether I could exchange it for some information or something.
They provided the Eighth Route Army with intelligence about other troops, and the Eighth Route Army then provided them with money or military merits.
But if that's all, the benefits gained will not be enough to satisfy their entire group.
Therefore, Major General Sato also instructed Murakuchi Saburo to deepen the ties with the Eighth Route Army if possible.
As long as the information is not too outrageous, it can be sold to the Eighth Route Army.
Use intelligence as much as possible to let the Eighth Route Army help their people gain military merit.
Before taking up the post of adjutant to Kiyoizumi Kiichi, Saburo Murakuchi had a special meeting with Major General Sato.
Major General Sato told Saburo Murakuchi that most of the officers under Yoshio Iwamatsu were transferred to the officers' observation group, and were eventually wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.
Now Yoshio Iwamatsu is very short of officers, especially since the commander of the 21st Brigade, Hattori Naoomi, was killed. If the situation is handled well, Sato will be transferred to be the commander of the 21st Brigade.
Or he could find a way to help Colonel Asai gain as many military merits as possible, get promoted to major general, and become the commander of the 21st Brigade.
Later, when Yoshio Iwamatsu was transferred to the commander of the First Army, he was short of so many officers, and it was impossible to fill all the vacancies from above. Most of them had to be promoted and transferred from deputy positions to full-time positions.
Therefore, Major General Sato also instructed Saburo Murakuchi to restore contact with the Eighth Route Army as much as possible.
Continue to trade with the Eighth Route Army and ask the Eighth Route Army to help their people obtain sufficient military merits.
At the same time, they would provide intelligence to the Eighth Route Army and find ways to get the Eighth Route Army to help weaken the opponent. By taking a two-pronged approach, many people in their group would be able to be promoted directly.
By then, if the operation is successful, not only will we be able to take control of the 21st Brigade, but we will also be able to take control of another brigade.
If another unit can be developed, the emergence of a second Osaka Division is not impossible.
At least Major General Sato has been secretly contacting the country, preparing to recruit another batch of soldiers from Osaka, change their identities, and then send them to his own troops.
As for the other troops, forget it for now and there's no rush to contact them.
After all, the Eighth Route Army has become the number one enemy of the North China Front Army Command.
The greatest military merit was gained by attacking the Eighth Route Army.
"Muraguchi-kun, how is it going? Have you contacted the Eighth Route Army?"
After Qingquan Muyi set up the antenna, he quickly came down from the roof and asked Murakuchi Saburo.
Murakuchi Saburo shook his head helplessly.
“Qingquan-kun, how could our luck be so good?
There happened to be an Eighth Route Army radio station within 30 kilometers, and the Eighth Route Army radio station happened to be able to communicate 30 kilometers away, and the radio station's channel happened to be the same as ours..."
Seeing that the radio station didn't respond at all, Murakuchi Saburo could only helplessly let go of his finger and pointed at the radio station and said, "Qingquan, please watch the radio station. If the red light is on here, it means someone is contacting the radio station. I need to take a rest first and think of a way to see if I can clean up your ass for you."
After giving some instructions to Qingquan Muyi, Murakuchi Saburo turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hey, Murakuchi-kun, you've worked hard..."
Seeing the tired face of Murakuchi Saburo, Qingquan Mu felt a little ashamed. He was about to say goodbye to Murakuchi Saburo, but he saw that the red light had turned on at the location that Murakuchi Saburo had reminded him to look at. "Muraguchi-kun, is this the red light you mentioned?"
Murakuchi Saburo listened to Kiyozumi Muichi's question and thought that Kiyozumi Muichi did not hear clearly. He turned around to look at the red light on the radio and nodded.
"Yes, that's right. As long as the red light is on here, it means that other radio stations are sending signals to this radio station."
Murakuchi Saburo spoke nonchalantly, then stepped directly onto the stairs.
"Bridge Bean Sacks!"
Murakuchi Saburo suddenly realized that the radio station was receiving signals right now!
Murakuchi Saburo turned around and fell directly on the wooden board, then crawled and ran to the front of the radio station.
"Go down, go down, it's none of your business, go down!"
"Takeshita-kun, please ask all the soldiers to leave first. Murakuchi-kun and I have something important to discuss."
When Qingquan Mu saw the look on Murakuchi Saburo's face, he knew that the radio must have been contacted, so he quickly waved his hand to drive away the soldiers who came up after hearing the noise.
At the same time, he instructed Shinta Takeshita who came up from behind to take all the people away.
"Hey, I promise not to disturb the two officers!"
Shinta Takeshita took a look at the gesture that Murakuchi Saburo made to him, and immediately understood what Kiyozumi Kiichi and Murakuchi Saburo wanted to do. He quickly left with the soldiers and handed the space to Murakuchi Saburo and Kiyozumi Kiichi.
"Qingquan-kun, we've made contact!"
"I didn't expect your luck to be so good!"
At this moment, after sending a telegram, Saburo Murakuchi's face was full of excitement.
He never thought that Qingquan Muyi's luck was so good. It was just as Qingquan Muyi said. When he turned on the radio, there was actually another radio station nearby, and that radio station was also on this channel!
Although we are not sure whether the other party is the Eighth Route Army or some lucky guy, there is still some hope, right?
"Murakou-kun, then you should quickly send a telegram to the Eighth Route Army, asking them to help me deal with the situation in Chiyang Town. It would be best if they could destroy the entire mine directly, or even occupy the entire mine directly."
Listening to what Murakuchi Saburo said, Qingquan Muyi excitedly spoke to Murakuchi Saburo, hoping that Murakuchi Saburo would quickly send a telegram to the Eighth Route Army.
Although Saburo Murakuchi was excited, he did not intend to tell the other party his own identity before confirming the other party's true identity.
"Qingquan, we can't confirm the other party's identity right now. I'm going to go out for a while and meet those people in person to see if there are any problems with their identities. If there are no problems, we can make contact with them.
Qingquan-kun, you get ready in the base, and I'll ask Takeshita Shinta to send out the troops to guard the various intersections.
If there is a problem with the opponent's identity, I will fire a green flare, and then you will lead your troops to kill all those problematic guys without mercy!
Otherwise, those guys are from the Special Higher Police or other intelligence agencies, then we are doomed.
To be on the safe side, if the other party is really those guys, then confirm that they are the Eighth Route Army or the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and kill them all directly!
Even if we are questioned, as long as we insist that we don't know the other party's true identity and don't know that the other party is a spy, and think that the other party is just an ordinary Eighth Route Army soldier, then we will not only not be wrong, but will also be meritorious! "
Listening to what Murakuchi Saburo said, Qingquanmu nodded.
“Muraguchi-kun, don’t worry, when you send out the signal flare, I promise to lead the troops there as soon as possible.
The team of warriors I brought with me are all my trusted confidants, and they are all warriors who work with me.
You can rest assured about everything.”
"Yoshi, then I'll prepare first. If there are no problems later, I can either bring people to the base, or we can set a time and meet outside together."
"Muraguchi-kun, when are you going to go out and meet the other party?"
Qingquan Muyi first patted his chest and assured Murakuchi Saburo, and then asked Murakuchi Saburo when he was going to go out to verify the other party's identity.
"Not tonight, it's too dark. If the other party's identity is really problematic and someone escapes, we'll be finished.
Qingquan, don't be anxious.
You said it yourself that there are Eighth Route Army troops near the mine.
The new commander won't arrive for another two days. I'll send two telegrams to the higher-ups to ask them to help delay the time. By then, we'll have enough time for the Eighth Route Army to help clean up the traces for you.
You can't rush things like this. The more you rush, the more likely it is that something will go wrong."
Seeing that Qingquan Muyi was a little anxious, Murakuchi Saburo also knew the worries in Qingquan Muyi's heart and spoke to comfort him.
If we go out to meet the other party now, late at night, and if the other party is not the Eighth Route Army, but someone else, or simply someone from the intelligence department, then we will have to send all the soldiers in the Xiaocaozhuang stronghold to hunt them down.
But the area nearby is so large, there are so many barren mountains, and the sky is so dark, what if one of them runs away.
They will be the ones who are in trouble then.
Thinking of this, Murakuchi Saburo once again reminded Qingquan Muyi.
“Qingquan-kun, there are cavalry among the people you brought.
After I leave tomorrow, you must send the cavalry to the vicinity of Zhangzhuang stronghold as soon as possible.
Do not let the cavalry team enter the Zhangzhuang stronghold. Just patrol the periphery of the Zhangzhuang stronghold and disguise themselves as the patrol team of the Zhangzhuang stronghold.
Give them orders when the time comes. If any suspicious person approaches, if the person is injured or speaks Japanese, or if he has important information, let the soldiers kill him directly!
If you encounter a patrol team from Zhangzhuang Stronghold, have them reveal their identities and say that they are the vanguard troops you sent to inspect the defense of Zhangzhuang Stronghold, and that you will be arriving soon. Have the soldiers in Zhangzhuang Stronghold prepare to welcome them!"
"The people at Zhangzhuang stronghold are not ours. If we are exposed, there are so many people over there that we cannot handle them all.
It would be fine if we were able to contact the Eighth Route Army, but if we couldn't, and the people at the Zhangzhuang stronghold told them about this, then our achievement would become someone else's.
Or you can go to Zhangzhuang stronghold first, and use your identity to take control of Zhangzhuang stronghold first. Then, even if someone really runs to Zhangzhuang stronghold for help, you can use your identity to forcibly kill the other party!
Remember, if you are really exposed, Qingquan-kun, please be prepared to commit suicide!
At that time, as long as everyone is still here, even if we commit suicide, our loved ones will still be taken care of.
I remember that you, Qingquan, have a child in your home country. Even if you commit suicide, your child can at least become a lieutenant colonel, a lieutenant colonel younger than you!"
