Chapter 63: Breaking Through

  " Erlang Mountain? How can it be Erlang Mountain?" Ye Tu Fei was startled, then looked at the simple map he had drawn and said with a bitter smile: "Oh, I drew the direction wrong."

  Peng Youming took another close look at Ye Tufei's map and finally understood. "You're referring to the direction of Linyi?"

  Ye Tu Fei said: "I know that in your team, there are soldiers borrowed from there."

  Peng Youming fell silent and didn't speak for a long time.

  Ye Tu Fei was taken aback and asked: "What? You're not very willing?"

  Peng Youming sighed and said, "There are a few practical difficulties. Listen to me. Firstly, our current team is composed of three types of personnel, especially the Han Hongxun Travel Agency. Will they agree to go to the base with us?"

  Ye Tu Fei nodded and said: "Yes, this is indeed a problem."

  "Moreover, will the National Army be accepted on their side? One last question, from Jiajiazhuang to Linyi, there are at least 300 miles of road. On these 300 miles of road, we have to pass through at least five small Japanese checkpoints. Ye Liu Ye, do you have confidence?"

  Ye Tufei smiled and said: "Secretary Peng, whether or not to go, I don't dare make a conclusion now. But I know that going is better than not going. Rather than staying here waiting for Gao Qixin to devour us one by one, it's better to give it a try. Besides, I believe you Communist Party members are not narrow-minded. Whether it's the National Army or bandits, as long as they resolutely fight against the little Japanese devils, you will welcome them."

  Peng Youming sighed again and said: "Now it depends on whether Han Hongxun is willing or not."

  Ye Tu Fei said: "I'll go tell Han Hong Xun."

  Han Hongxun has now left the state of shock, although his body is still very weak, but his consciousness is finally clear. When he learned from the military doctor that Ye Tufei saved him and even gave him a blood transfusion, his concept of Ye Tufei underwent a one hundred and eighty degree turn.

  When he saw Ye Tufei coming over, Han Hongxun struggled to sit up. Ye Tufei quickly stepped forward and pressed Han Hongxun down.

  "With a body like that? You'd have to wait until you're fully recovered before you can get revenge on me!" Ye Tuofei joked with Han Hongxun.

  "Take revenge on you? What? Why would I take revenge on you?" Han Hongxun didn't realize at first that Ye Tufei was joking.

  Ye Tu Fei smiled and said: "I've added another scar for you!"

  Han Hongxun realized that Ye Tufei was joking with him, so he also made a joke. He let out a heavy sigh and said: "This face of mine wasn't good-looking to begin with, now it's even worse, with this big scar added on top! Ye, I'm not done with you yet!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh himself, "Ah, thinking about it is useless anyway, after all, your blood is still flowing in my body."

  Yè Tú Fēi burst out laughing and said: "Hearing you say that, it seems like you should call me something."

  Han Hongxun scolded in anger: "You're called Sixth Master, aren't you?"

  After joking around, Ye Tufei got down to business and told Han Hongxun his plan. Han listened without objecting and said, "You're in charge! I'll follow your arrangements."

  Peng Youming rushed over at this moment, heard Han Hongxun's statement, let out a sigh of relief and said: "Then it's settled, I just contacted the other side of Yimeng Mountain with the radio station, they expressed their welcome."

  Ye Tu Fei patted Han Hongxun's shoulder and said, "Old Han, you must eat more and drink more to recover quickly. We still have several fierce battles ahead of us, and the brothers can't do without you, General Guan!"

  Han Hongxun smiled with a grin: "I, Han, am just a rough and unrefined martial artist, at most I can only play the role of Zhang Fei, but the real Guan Yu is you!"

  Yè Tú Fēi Huí said: "I am Yè Liù Yé, Guān èr Yé's sixth younger brother."

  Peng Youming interjected: "You're one Zhang Fei the fierce and the other is Guan Yu, so I'll just have to be the useless Liu Bei!"

  Ye Tufei smiled and said: "You want to be Liu Bei, that's fine. But you have to find me a sister-in-law to try out whether this Guan Er Ye has the determination to remain calm in the face of temptation."

  Peng Youming burst out laughing and said: "Brother, I will definitely work hard and soon realize your wishes."

  "That's still me being this Guan Er Ye!"

  The three of them burst out laughing at the same time.

  Under the simple tent, Gao Qiao Xian sat in front of a low table.

  On the low table was his Go board. The board was still the same one, only one corner had been chipped off, and a crack ran from that corner for more than half of the board.

  The situation on the board is still the same as last night's game, but the black piece that trapped the three isolated white pieces has disappeared.

  Takahashi Shin sat quietly like that, without moving a muscle.

  Yamashita Keigo, standing beside him, was also silent and motionless.

  The reason for the state of these two people was just a telegram. Five minutes ago, Yamashita Keigo received this telegram, and three minutes ago, Yamashita Keigo read it to Takahashi Makoto.

  The telegram was from Jia Wang, and the message was simple: "Ye Bu has left, destination unknown."

  "Where can he go? Where else can he go?" It was a while before Takashi Hashimoto spoke up.

  "I also can't understand, Ye Tufei's every move in Jiajia Wang's house was under our surveillance, why couldn't we know his whereabouts? Could it be that Ye Tufei has grown wings?" Yamashita Keigo finally had the opportunity to vent out the frustration in his heart.

  If you can't think of a reason, stop thinking and don't go there. This is the difference between Higashiyama Nobuyuki and Yamashita Keigo. It's like in Go, if you're not sure about the local calculation, players often take the approach of giving up on the local move first and then looking elsewhere, and Higashiyama quickly adjusted his thinking.

  "No matter where he went, we must remain unchanged in the face of all changes. Lord Shandong, for us, the most important thing is to increase the pursuit speed of our pursuit troops. Don't lose hope, I don't believe that Ye Tufei's nearly thousand-strong army can leave no trace at Jiajiawan? As long as our pursuit troops arrive at Jiajiawan, we will definitely be able to find out where Ye Tufei is going."

  Takahashi's words reignited Yamashita's passion for battle.

  "Yes, Takahashi-kun, I will immediately give the order to the pursuit unit to increase their speed. Yatou Fei won't be able to escape from your grasp!"

  Hearing Kengo Kawanishi's praise, Nobuo Takahashi showed his usual confidence and arrogance.

  As Takashi Goto said, Yetai Fei can't make a team of nearly a thousand people leave without leaving any traces. However, Yetai Fei can make these traces more numerous.

  Just like a sheet of white paper, since we must leave marks on it, let's make the marks more numerous and messy, as long as they are enough to cover up the original mark.

  Ye Tu Fei was doing just that.

  At the time of departure, he ordered the troops to circle around the outskirts of Jiajiazhuang Town twice. During this period, whenever they saw a thoroughfare, they would send out a small detachment. The number of people in the small detachment was not large, but each person held tools in their hands and made a mess along the way. It was only because of time constraints that these small detachments could not go far into these branch roads. Otherwise, Ye Tufei was confident that he could make the pursuing Japanese army go crazy.

  Still achieved very good results.

  About an hour after Ye Tufei's unit left Jiajiawang, the vanguard of the Japanese pursuit troops arrived at Jiajiawang. According to Yamashita Tomoyuki's instructions, the commander of this vanguard immediately conducted a detailed examination of the "蛛丝马迹" (traces) left behind by Ye Tufei's unit.

  After a look, the commander fainted, and under helplessness, he had no choice but to report the truth to Jingwu at the foot of the mountain.

  Yamashita Yukuo didn't dare to make a decision, so he asked for instructions from Takahashi Shin. As soon as Takahashi heard this, he got angry and scolded the commander of the vanguard troops: "You're simply a stupid pig! That's obviously Ye Tufei's Soul-Confusing Array, what's the big deal? Just send out a small team at each fork in the road to investigate thoroughly!"

  Yamashita Kengo couldn't help but have even more admiration for Takahashi Shin, you see, such a complicated problem, when it gets to Takahashi Shin, becomes so simple.

  Is it simple? If it's really that simple, then Ye Tu Fei wouldn't have cried.

  He led the team to circle around Jia's house twice, which took a lot of time. If it was broken by Gao Qiao's letter like this, wouldn't he be at a great disadvantage? Ye Tufei is absolutely not someone who would willingly suffer losses.

  Soon, the commander of the vanguard of the Japanese army knew that Ye Tufei had left a backhand, and every fork in the road was laid with landmines.

  Demining? Don't be ridiculous, don't talk about how long it will take to clear the mines. Not even three sappers and commanders can be found.

  What to do? Report to the superior officer at the foot of the mountain!

  Officer Yamashita received the report and could only ask for further instructions from Takahashi again.

  This time, Takashi didn't get angry because he also didn't know how to deal with it.

  This time, Yamashita Kengo finally read the two words "helpless" on Takahashi Makoto's face.

  Helpless Gao Qiaoxin chose a helpless method, that is to wait. He set up monitoring points in all possible directions around Jiajia Wang's house, and he believed that these monitoring points would soon discover Ye Tufei's whereabouts.

  This wait is almost three hours.

  Until Ye Tufei led his troops to launch an attack on the first blockade line of the Japanese army from Jiajiawang to Linyi and won a victory, Gaoqiao Xin received the information.

  Contrary to Takayuki's expectations, Nobuo was not discouraged in the slightest and instead seemed rather enthusiastic. He turned to Takayuki with a sigh and said: "Yotsuba Tsubame, why did you choose this route? Although you successfully broke through the first blockade line, there are still four more ahead, and what's more, the road conditions on this path are very suitable for the Imperial Army's mobile forces. Hehe, it's only 50 kilometers away, which is just a two-hour journey for our Imperial Mobile Corps. Yotsuba Tsubame, we'll meet again tonight!"

  Yamashita Keigo now understood the enthusiasm of Takahashi Makoto, and echoed: "Ye Tufei was able to break through the blockade line of our Great Japanese Imperial Army purely by luck. It must be that those guys on the blockade line were too careless. I will command..." Just as he finished saying the word "command", Yamashita Keigo suddenly realized that the blockade lines in that direction did not belong to the Xuzhou area, which means that he, Yamashita Keigo, had no right to give orders to those Japanese troops responsible for the blockade line.

  Takaashi Shin noticed Yamashita Keigo's embarrassment and reminded him, "This matter still requires the commander to come forward and coordinate with the garrison in Lin Yi. I believe that for the sake of the Great Japanese Empire, they will certainly take it seriously."

  Yamashita Kengo said "Ah" and turned around to send a telegram to his commander.

  Kaoqiao Xin walked to the front of the map, his eyes fixed on the first blockade line marked by the Japanese army, muttering to himself: "Only ten minutes and you annihilated an entire infantry battalion of my empire?! Ye Tufei, are you human or a ghost?!"

  Will Ye Tu Fei bring that thing with his brothers? Of course not, otherwise the big flag of this bandit camp would have been gone before it was even raised... Now the collection has reached 655, let Lao Yan pass 1000 soon, okay?
