Chapter 268: Fire Dragon Burns the Warehouse
After receiving the news, Wu Yunzheng and He Shaowen did not hesitate much and quickly took their troops to Chiyang Town overnight.
He was afraid that his actions would be a little slow and interfere with the battle in the Taihang Military Region.
Although they didn't know what the Taihang Military Region was going to do, Wu Yunzheng and He Shaowen both agreed that the telegram forwarded by the headquarters was definitely a very important and urgent matter.
"Quick, send a signal to Chiyang Town!"
On the outskirts of Chiyang Town, Wu Yunzheng and his soldiers were hiding in a small forest. He called out to the guard beside him to pick up a flashlight and go to the mine in Chiyang Town to send a contact signal, calling on the Japanese adjutant Qingquan Muyi in Chiyang Town to come out and contact him.
"Yes!"
Wu Yunzheng's guard quickly left the grove with a flashlight and began to send signals in the direction of the Chiyang Town mine.
Because it was unclear whether anyone in the Chiyang Town mine saw the signal, the guard stood outside the woods, hiding his body behind a big tree and sending signals into the woods.
……
Chiyang Town Mine.
As Kiyozumi Kiichi's adjutant, Oda Kiyoo has not had a good rest for a long time since Kiyozumi Kiichi left.
Originally, Qingquan Muyi was only notified to go to Taiyuan to receive the medal, and then Chiyang Town was temporarily handed over to Oda Kiyoo for management.
As a result, Oda Kiyoo did not wait for Kiyozumi Kiichi to come back, but instead received the notice that Kiyozumi Kiichi was transferred to the commander of Ping An County, and after he completed the handover of his work, he also rushed to Ping An County.
This time Kiyoo Oda was dumbfounded.
Although Kiyoo Oda also knew what Kiyozumi Muichi was doing.
However, in order to avoid involving too many people if something happened, Qingquan Muyi knew most of the things only by himself, and no one else knew anything.
Even Kiyoo Oda didn't know how to contact the nearby Eighth Route Army.
Kiyoo Oda wanted to contact the nearby Eighth Route Army to help Qingquan Muyi finish the matter at the Chiyang Town mine, so as to avoid being exposed when the new commander came and causing everyone to be dismissed and investigated.
However, Kiyoo Oda did not know which group of the Eighth Route Army that Kiyozumi Muichi was in contact with. He only knew that Kiyozumi Muichi was in contact with the Eighth Route Army.
After all, every time Qingquanmu went out to contact the Eighth Route Army, the adjutant would be in charge at the Chiyang Town mine, providing cover and preventing any unexpected situations from occurring at the mine.
As a result, Kiyoo Oda is not sure which group of the Eighth Route Army Qingquan Muyi has contacted. He doesn't know which group he has contacted, and Kiyoo Oda doesn't dare to contact them casually.
It would be fine if I contacted the wrong person and there was a misunderstanding and a fight broke out between us.
It would be interesting if they got in touch with the spies sent into the Eighth Route Army by the intelligence department, and everyone would be doomed.
So ever since Qingquan Muyi left, seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the new commander of Chiyang Town and was about to reach the Chiyang Town mine, Oda Kiyoo was so anxious that he couldn't even sleep.
“Baga, never mind… We can’t kill them halfway. Xianchi will send a new squadron to replicate and garrison here. By then, the other side will definitely bring new troops over.
There aren't that many troops in Chiyang Town to intercept us halfway..."
Kiyoo Oda really wanted to take his troops and eliminate the new commander of the Chiyang Town Mine halfway, but he thought that the other party would not come alone, but would bring a squadron of soldiers. The Chiyang Town Mine was led by Qingquan Muyi and a small team of soldiers to act as guards.
There was no way the remaining soldiers could take out an entire squadron of soldiers.
If he fails to completely wipe them out, then once someone escapes to Xianchi County, he and Qingquan Mu will die a more miserable death.
"Damn it, China's Fire Dragon Warehouse Burning Technique is useful, and the food can be consumed by using the Fire Dragon Warehouse Burning Technique.
But what about the ores? "
Kiyoo Oda thought of China's Fire Dragon Burning Warehouse and wanted to use it to solve those losses.
However, food, even weapons and equipment can be solved by using fire dragons to burn warehouses.
The problem is that the Chiyang Town Mine is a mine. In addition to food supplies, it also has a large amount of ore.
There's no way those ores will be burned by fire.
So at this moment, Kiyoo Oda was constantly thinking of various solutions in his mind.
"If it really doesn't work, I can only contact the Eighth Route Army... or I can take the responsibility and protect Qingquan-kun... I am just a captain... This is how my life will be. Qingquan-kun is a lieutenant colonel, and it is not impossible for him to become a colonel... I hope Qingquan-kun can take care of my family because I committed suicide for him..."
Kiyoo Oda thought of many ways, but in the end, there were only two options left: taking the risk of contacting the Eighth Route Army or taking all the responsibilities himself.
I took the risk of contacting the Eighth Route Army... With good luck, I contacted the Eighth Route Army that was doing business with Qingquan Muyi, and the matter was resolved perfectly.
Unfortunately, I came into contact with the unfamiliar Eighth Route Army, and the two sides engaged in a direct exchange of fire. I was captured, but I was able to save my life and still have a chance to handle the affairs of Chiyang Town.
In the worst-case scenario, they contacted spies sent by the intelligence department to the Eighth Route Army...and everyone is doomed.
If I take the responsibility myself, then it depends on how I say it... otherwise Qingquan Muyi will still be affected.
Of course, there is another way.
That is to sell Qingquan Muyi directly and put all the blame on Qingquan Muyi.
In this case, Kiyoo Oda has no idea what will happen to Kiyozumi Muichi.
But Kiyoo Oda himself will definitely be killed by others.
Selling out your own chief officer, what is this? This is treason.
Moreover, thinking about the fact that Kiyozumi Muichi had given him more than twenty gold bars, Oda Kiyoo really couldn't bear to sell Kiyozumi Muichi out for so many gold bars.
After all, he was given more than twenty gold bars during his time in Chiyang Town.
Before that, he single-handedly promoted himself from an ordinary soldier to the rank of captain.
Kiyoo Oda felt that he still had some conscience and would not do such a cruel thing.
The most important thing for the people of Osaka is credibility. They have already given up on the Heavenly Locusts and the honor of Bushido. If they lose even their credibility, no one will dare to believe them anymore.
"Sir, Lieutenant Colonel Qingquan's signal has been detected!"
Just when Kiyoo Oda had made preparations for both scenarios, contacting the Eighth Route Army while preparing himself to take the blame.
A soldier hurriedly and stealthily ran into Oda Kiyoo's room and whispered.
"Nani?!"
Kiyoo Oda was shocked when he heard what the soldier said.
Qingquan Muyi is now in Ping'an County. How could he send a signal outside Chiyang Town?
"Could it be that Qingquan-kun has contacted the Eighth Route Army over there?... This must be the case. Quick, send our signal to the other side... After confirming that there is no problem, follow me out immediately!"
"Hi!"
The soldier listened to what Kiyoo Oda said, took the flashlight that Kiyoo Oda handed to him, and quickly rushed to the outskirts of the mine.
Start responding in the direction the signal comes from.
When the soldier saw the response signal from the other side, he immediately informed Kiyoo Oda of the matter.
After Oda Kiyoo handed over the mine affairs to another lieutenant, he quickly took the two of them out of the mine and headed for the small forest outside the mine. …
"My, Qingquan-kun's work..."
"Damn it, who understands Japanese!"
In the grove, Wu Yunzheng and Oda Kiyoo stared at each other.
After they got in touch, both parties were very happy.
As a result, as soon as they met, Wu Yunzheng discovered that Kiyoo Oda did not speak Chinese, and no one on their side knew Japanese.
The two sides don't speak the same language and cannot communicate normally.
Seeing what he is like now, Kiyoo Oda regretted not having studied with Kiyozumi Muichi.
"Damn it, we have to find a way to communicate with the Eighth Route Army, otherwise they won't know what to do... We can't communicate in the same language... Is there anything that can allow both of us to know what the other side is saying?"
"Yoshi, this is it!"
Kiyoo Oda's eyes lit up and he immediately thought of a good idea.
Although the languages are different and everyone’s writing is different, there is one thing that is universal.
telegraph!
Or rather, code!
As long as both parties have telegraph operators who can send telegrams, they can communicate directly using plain text telegrams.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding~"
After thinking about this, Kiyoo Oda looked at Wu Yunzheng and He Shaowen in front of him as if he was sending a telegram.
Looking at Oda Kiyoo's appearance, He Shaowen, who was thinking about how to communicate with Oda Kiyoo, suddenly had his eyes light up.
"Yes, a plaintext telegram!"
He Shaowen understood telegraphs, and when he saw Oda Kiyoo's actions, he instantly understood what Oda Kiyoo meant.
So, the two of them started writing and drawing on the ground with a branch, and began to communicate using clear code (Morse code, I think it should be this) telegram.
After starting to communicate with He Shaowen, Kiyoo Oda also told He Shaowen all his ideas and needs.
He Shaowen also told Oda Kiyoo the telegram and other relevant information forwarded from the other side.
Listening to the two coded words in the message spoken by He Shaowen, Oda Kiyoo confirmed that this was the message sent by Qingquan Muyi.
So, Kiyoo Oda quickly took out the defense map of Chiyang Town and began to communicate with Wu Yunzheng.
He Shaowen acted as the translator for the two.
Convert Wu Yunzheng's words into code and pass it to Oda Kiyoo, and translate Oda Kiyoo's code and pass it to Wu Yunzheng.
"Old Wu, the little devil...oh, he said his name is Kiyomi Oda, and Kiyomi Oda wants us to pretend to attack the mine in Chiyang Town.
Finally, tonight, we will burn down the entire Chiyang Town Mine. Of course, if we want the entire Chiyang Town Mine, that's fine, but he can't help us defend it, and he will retreat with part of the troops.
The remaining troops will be handed over to us. We hope that through our means, we can send those soldiers to Ping'an County and hand them over to Qingquan Muyi.
In addition, the weapons and equipment of the puppet army in the mine in Chiyang Town, as well as some of their weapons and equipment and heavy weapons can be given to us as rewards.
However, he hopes that after we occupy the Chiyang Town mine, if someone attacks and we cannot resist, we must blow up all the mines and warehouses.
All the supplies in the warehouse have been sold to our Eighth Route Army.
If the warehouse and the mine were not destroyed, it would be easy for others to find out what was going on.
By then, he and Qingquan Muyi will definitely not be able to escape."
Wu Yun was listening to what He Shaowen said, and subconsciously wanted to take advantage of the fact that Oda Kiyoo was anxious to ask the Eighth Route Army to help deal with the matter, and take advantage of the opportunity to gain more benefits.
"Old Wu, do you want to get more benefits? Oda Kiyoo seems to be very anxious. I guess the new commander of Chiyang Town has already arrived at Xianchi... If we get more benefits now, Oda Kiyoo will definitely agree."
Not only Wu Yunzheng wanted to get more benefits, He Shaowen also thought so.
Wu Yunzheng thought for a moment and shook his head.
"No, they are very anxious, which means Qingquan Muyi must have given up enough benefits. What's more, the requirements from above are to cooperate with the Japanese in the mine in Chiyang Town to handle the matter well.
Don't affect the Taihang Military Region's operations."
"If we interfere with the Taihang Military Region's actions because we want to gain a little more benefit, we will make a big mistake.
We don't need anything this time. We should just do whatever the devil Oda Kiyomi says and not create any unnecessary trouble."
"That makes sense. Okay, then I'll reply to Kiyoo Oda."
"Well, give Kiyoo Oda a reply... I'll prepare the troops here."
Immediately afterwards, He Shaowen quickly conveyed Wu Yunzheng's words to Oda Kiyoo, telling Oda Kiyoo that they could take action immediately and take over the Chiyang Town mine.
"Yoshi, don't worry, the people standing guard in the mine in Chiyang Town are all our people... All the Imperial Army has been sent to rest, and the situation at the artillery tower is the same.
If you two are ready, we can immediately enter the mine, tie up all the Imperial Army soldiers, and then start to fake a battlefield."
"No problem, we can take action at any time."
"OK……"
……
With the help of Kiyoo Oda, all the puppet soldiers in the Chiyang Town mine and the Chiyang Town artillery tower were tied up by the Japanese while they were still resting and sent to Wu Yunzheng and others.
Wu Yunzheng and He Shaowen arranged personnel to send the puppet army prisoners of war back to the base.
At the same time, he began to cooperate with Kiyoo Oda to forge traces of battle near the mine and the artillery tower.
In order to make the battle extremely intense, Kiyoo Oda directly took out all the explosives and then blew down a large number of buildings.
If the people in Chiyang Town had not been relocated by the Eighth Route Army long ago, I estimate that this act of fraud would have shocked the people in Chiyang Town.
Barrels of fuel were poured into the warehouse in the mine by Kiyoo Oda.
Then, accompanied by a torch, the entire warehouse exploded instantly.
The flames rising into the sky burned down the entire warehouse like a fire dragon.
Authentic Fire Dragon Shaocang.
