Chapter 63: Causing a Commotion in Linping

  Causing a big disturbance in Linping

  The night wind blows gently, all sounds are silent, the stars blink their eyes tiredly, and occasionally hide in the white clouds to rest for a while. The garrison of the Third Battalion, Second Company is exceptionally quiet, with soldiers on duty standing lazily outside the camp gate or wandering around. Only when the patrol team passes by does the rustling sound of footsteps bring a hint of life to this dead silence.

  Huang Shan Bao sat quietly in the rattan chair, thinking about everything that had happened tonight when he met with several people. He was afraid of making mistakes. It wasn't that he was worried about his own life, since he had decided to dedicate everything, including his life, to the resistance war from the moment he joined it. What he feared was that the intelligence would not be sent out, affecting the overall deployment of the local party committee. Huang Shan Bao was preparing to take another gamble and put all his hopes on Yun Xiang Tian, believing that Yun Xiang Tian had the ability to complete the task arranged by the organization. But he also needed to make preparations himself, in case something unexpected happened, so that he could complete the task alone and destroy the enemy's plan to attack Kirin Mountain.

  A peaceful night was shattered by a gunshot, the military camp suddenly became chaotic, a soldier knocked on Huang Shan's door and shouted loudly: "Lian zuo, lian zuo, something bad has happened!"

  Huang Shan grabbed his gun and rushed out of the room, asking "Where's the shooting? What's going on?"

  The soldier stammered: "Report to the company commander, a brother from the third squad of the third platoon accidentally fired his gun while cleaning it and injured a brother from the second squad. The brothers in the second squad are furious and causing trouble. The squad leader can't control them, so I came to report to you, please go over there."

  Huang Shan said, "The busier you are, the more chaotic it becomes." He closed the door and followed the soldier who had brought the news to the scene of the incident.

  Huang Shanbao listened to the health worker's report on the injured soldier's condition. Fortunately, the bullet only passed through the leg of the wounded soldier without hitting any bones. Huang Shanbao's hanging heart was put down, and he turned his head to look at the brothers of the second class. The brothers of the second class were all clenching their fists and wiping their palms, wanting to avenge. Huang Shanbao asked: "Did he intentionally shoot him?"

  One of the brothers in Class 2 indignantly said: "He dares to do this, and he still won't let him off? He deliberately fired a shot, isn't that enough to kill him?"

  Huang Shan Bao hummed lightly and asked, "I heard that a month ago, also from your second class, a brother was beaten to death by a drunken Japanese man. How did you handle it at the time?"

  That brother said: "That was the Great Japanese Imperial Army that killed him, what can we do about it? Besides, he blocked the way of the Imperial Army and didn't know his own limitations, so it's a white death."

  Huang Shan burst out laughing and said: "Second Brother is indeed a good guy, he was beaten to death by the Japanese, you guys didn't even dare fart. Your own brother accidentally shot himself, scratched his skin and became unreasonable. Unbelievable, truly unbelievable. Alright, I'll hand him over to you now, what do you plan to do with that brother? Cut him into a thousand pieces or chop him into ten thousand segments?"

  The second group of brothers looked down in shame, only that man had a ferocious smile on his face and said: "Really want to hand him over to me? I'll beat up more than ten holes in his body, to vent my brother's anger."

  Huang Shan's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a subtle expression that was easy to overlook. He pulled out his gun, released the safety catch and said, "Then hand him over to you for disposal, come use my gun."

  He stared with wide eyes, he didn't dare to believe that Huang Shan Jiao would say such a thing. He reached out to stop the gun handed over by Huang Shan Jiao, but as soon as he touched Huang Shan Jiao, the gun fired and the bullet whizzed out of the barrel through the chest of the brother from the second squad. Huang Shan Jiao looked at the painful expression of that brother and said: "Squad leader, what's wrong with you? You shouldn't have touched me, it made my gun misfire too. Quick, take a look at him, how badly is he hurt?"

  The second brother who was shot slowly fell to the ground, saying: "You dare to shoot a great Japanese agent..."

  Huang Shanbiao raised his hand and fired another shot, shouting loudly: "Damn it, you're not afraid of death? Dare to instigate me to attack the Great Japanese Imperial Army. You really deserve to die a thousand deaths. Did all of you brothers hear what he said?"

  Three rows of soldiers shouted with their brothers: "Listen clearly. This guy wants to collude with the company commander and let the company commander lead the troops to attack the Japanese imperial army. We all heard it as clear as a mirror." But everyone's heart is like a bright mirror.

  "Huang Shan thought to himself: 'You little Japanese devil, you don't know that I've been looking for you since I retreated from Lihua Gou. I've been waiting for an opportunity to teach you a lesson, and now you're coming right into my trap. You're afraid of our Chinese soldiers uniting and resisting the oppression of your evil empire, and you want to take advantage of this situation to stir up trouble here. Your calculations are really too good, aren't they?'"

  To prevent accidents, Huang Shanpao took Cui Dongsheng, who was hiding in the team, out of the east gate of Linping City before dawn. At breakfast time, he returned to Linping and rushed to the headquarters of the Imperial Army Command, where Wang Damaizi lived. He wanted to tell a story about a traitor appearing in a team, a violent uprising that failed to harm his comrades, and being killed on the spot.

  At Wangyuan warehouse, after careful investigation and dense planning, Yunxiangtian decided to take action. He sent Hongshan girl and Wang Furen away from Linping city in the morning, and after returning, he gathered the members of the fierce ghost squad to issue combat tasks. After issuing the combat tasks, he stretched his waist and said to the outside: "Zhuer sister, come in. It's cold outside, don't catch a chill."

  Here is the translation:

  "Look who's here, not just Xiu Zhu, but also Chuan Xiong Mu, Na Zi and Yan Xue. Yun Xiang Tian knew what they were thinking of doing and said without waiting for them to speak: "You're all here, I was about to go find you in a bit. Now there's an important task that needs your completion. Do you have the guts?"

  Three girls looked at each other and smiled: "What task? Tell us."

  A fierce explosion of gunfire, disrupted the peaceful Linping City under the night sky. A detachment of the Eighth Route Army launched a strong attack on the south gate of Linping City. The sharp whistling sound of bullets and the deafening roar of artillery shells mobilized large numbers of devils and puppet troops to rush towards each city gate.

  In the midst of gunfire, a small Japanese army squad carrying wounded soldiers walked towards the direction of the Ping Constabulary Command, bringing with them four or five blood-soaked Chinese people. The female leader of the Japanese squad handed over her credentials to the constable on duty and said: "We've caught several Chinese soldiers, we need to interrogate them at the constabulary, open the door."

  The sentry carefully examined the documents and then saluted, saying: "I'm sorry, Lieutenant. I must report to headquarters first and get their approval before I can let you pass."

  "Alright, go and report," said the Japanese lieutenant. She turned her head to look at the soldier who was moving towards the door. She followed the military policeman into the police station. Taking advantage of the moment when the military policeman picked up the phone, she covered his mouth with her left hand and cut his throat with a short knife in her right hand. The Japanese squad outside, which had approached the gate, suddenly fired at the other military policemen and then opened the gate and rushed in. They did not rush into the office building of the military police headquarters, but instead quickly dispersed and threw a grenade into each window of the building. Before the devils could react, the warriors of the Ghost Legion, disguised as Japanese soldiers, quickly withdrew, and the entire battle was over in the blink of an eye.

  Feng Tianxiong, who had just withdrawn from the sneak attack on the Japanese gendarmerie headquarters, looked at Chiyonofuji Motoko, dressed as a Japanese lieutenant, and saw that she was somewhat downcast. He consoled her, saying: "Cuìyù, I know this operation has been difficult for you. But you must be clear, we are killing the hatchet men of militarism, they are devils, invaders who want to destroy all that is good. They are not like you, a kind-hearted Japanese person. Do you understand?"

  "But I hope my choice is correct. Where are we going now?"

  "Feng Tianxiong said mysteriously: 'Follow me, and you'll know in a moment.'"

  Feng Tianxiong led the soldiers of the Japanese army uniformed vanguard, directly pointing to the Imperial Army Command. The gate-keeping Imperial Army soldiers did not dare to block them and let them rush in. Wang Dama Zi was not in the command center, he personally went to the East Gate to direct the battle, leaving only some unimportant clerical personnel behind. Feng Tianxiong had them tie each other up, controlled the gate guards, and concentrated them in the courtyard. A fire ignited the Imperial Army Command Center, and they even gave a few Imperial Army men a political lesson.

  The Kempeitai headquarters was raided, the Imperial Guard Headquarters was burned down, making the little devils guarding the ammunition depot extremely nervous, fearing an accident. When they received a call from the commander of the Yamaguchi Regiment, the devil's head, Kimura, who was in charge of guarding the ammunition depot, slightly relaxed. He walked out of the room and shouted loudly: "Strengthen the guard, defend the ammunition depot to the death! The commander of the Yamaguchi Regiment has sent the brave warriors of the Empire here!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of Japanese soldiers rushing over. He excitedly shouted: "Hey, are you the brave warriors of the Yamaguchi Regiment?"

  "Mr. Kimura," replied the other, "I am Captain Kawashima Tatsurō of the Yamaguchi Regiment, ordered to guard the ammunition depot together with you. Please open the gate."

  Kimura happily gave the order to open the door of the ammunition depot, and he personally welcomed him out. When he approached Kawashima Sanro, he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, and then his brain went blank.
