About three hours after Hu Biao and others left the pioneering regiment's station.
Five Japanese trucks filled with soldiers, galloping all the way, finally rushed into the open gate of the pioneering group.
The reason why the Japanese reinforcements responded so slowly is because the telephone line leading to Tonghua City was cut into two parts by Hu Biao and others before they attacked.
When the members of the pioneering regiment tried to use the radio station to contact the Japanese garrison for help.
It can be said that the bad wind and blizzard weather tonight helped Hu Biao and the others a great help; they have been busy for a long time and have not been able to contact the Japanese in Tonghua City.
In the end, a Japs who almost died ran to Tonghua City and reported such bad news, and the Tonghua garrison finally reacted.
Such five cars are the largest mechanized force that the Japs in Tonghua City can currently muster.
It took three hours for the Japanese reinforcements to arrive. Not even the traces of sledges on the ground could be seen at all now.
For a moment, they wanted to catch up but didn't know how to start.
However, during their repeated questioning of the surviving personnel, a Japanese man who hid in the livestock shed responded that he had heard of such a group of thugs and mentioned "Mengjiang County" and "Dadonggou" more than once. Such two place names.
I think this place is the destination of those thugs.
More importantly, combined with the description of these people's clothing and firepower, the leader thought that the Japanese captain had reacted:
With the ferocious firepower of these people, as well as their precise marksmanship and number of people, aren't these people the same group of thugs that the Kwantung Army Military Police Headquarters is currently looking for?
In other words, as long as they provide specific information about their whereabouts, they will be regarded as those thugs who have done a great job.
Ever since the night of New Year's Eve, Hu Biao and the others had done something in Fengtian City, and then most of them left with the goal of rescuing them.
The Kwantung Army, known as the elite of the Japanese army, had lost face.
If people like Hu Biao were not found and killed, then the Kwantung Army would probably have no way to save their face for picking them up so easily.
So, at this moment, Hu Biao and the others, who were wrapped in quilts seized from the pioneering regiment and riding a sledge forward quickly, had no idea at all.
The news of their appearance was reported to the Japanese in Tonghua overnight.
Good guy! The senior officials of the Kwantung Army, who were originally in the area around Fengtian City and almost turned over the land for a search, immediately ordered the surrounding troops to surround the Mengjiang County area.
It can be said that the number of Japanese troops encircling Laolinzi will increase, and eventually the number will even exceed 10 times.
Anyway, in one sentence, the Japanese will kill these guys who have brought disgrace to the imperial army at all costs.
As a result, the dilemma for General Jingyu and others is getting bigger and bigger; the main reason is that when the Japanese are searching for Hu Biao and others, they don't mind hunting rabbits to solve the problem of General Jingyu.
Hu Biao and the others had actually thought about the consequences of this, so they hesitated for a while before attacking the pioneering group.
The problem is that Hu Biao thought of a key point. No matter how bad the outcome is after they take action, can it be worse than the previous bad situation?
No matter how bad you think it is, it's not far behind! Why not take a chance on it.
Therefore, even though they knew that their actions might lead to the current situation, Hu Biao and the others still chose to vote for the development team...
******
Time: February 19, 1940, about 1:35 noon.
Location: A few miles away from Dadong Valley in Mengjiang County, in the middle of a valley full of thick snow and uninhabited by birds.
By the way! In the Northeast region, there are many places called Dadonggou, but the one here is relatively unknown.
He glanced at the horse lying on the ground, spitting blood and froth from its mouth, and was probably going to die soon, as well as several other shaky horses.
Hu Biao waved his hand impatiently, turned to the four earth-colored Japs, and said:
"Let's go. Since AT said he won't kill you back then, he will definitely not kill you. Now get out of here. We have changed our attention."
After hearing this, the four Japs immediately nodded and bowed their heads in thanks.
Finally, under Hu Biao's impatient wave, the four Japs began to turn around and leave; at first they just walked slowly, and after taking seven or eight steps, they couldn't help but start trotting.
After reaching thirty steps away, he spread his legs and started running wildly.
It seemed that they really wanted to leave a group of terrifying thugs like Hu Biao as soon as possible, as far away as possible.
Then, Hu Biao spit out the cigarette butts in his mouth with a sound of "Bah~", and while still having a mouthful of shredded tobacco, he drew his gun like lightning and then fired four times with "Bah~~".
These four shots accurately hit the back of the two Japs' heads, causing them to fall to the ground in an instant.
"I'll go! Didn't you say you wouldn't kill them~" AT saw this and his eyes widened, pointing out Hu Biao's dishonest behavior.
Hu Biao slapped the young white-collar worker away with one hand and pointed his finger.
The answer he gave was impeccable: "That's what you promised, not what I promised. I never said I wouldn't kill them."
While the white-collar worker was speechless, Hu Biao added:
"Didn't you notice that at least three of these four Japs can actually understand Chinese? The last sentence I told them to leave was said in Chinese.
They pretended not to understand anything along the way, but they have heard many of our secrets, so you can rest assured and let them go back."
AT: "What the hell..."
Not to mention the four Japs who were easily dealt with, after Hu Biao and the others arrived here, they were considered to have reached the final step.
It was mainly based on what Hu Biao and the others knew about the situation. There is such a key point:
Before General Jingyu died on the 23rd, he had almost run out of ammunition and food, so he sent two guards to sell food nearby.
And the place to buy grain is Dadonggou.
It is a pity that the two guards failed to buy back the food. Instead, they fought fiercely with the Japanese and the Gouzi for half an hour and died one after another.
This can be regarded as the last straw that broke General Jingyu's back.
Quite simply, he had not eaten food for several days in a row. In such an environment that required a large amount of caloric consumption to maintain body functions, this was almost fatal.
Based on the above situation, Hu Biao and others can at least be sure that General Jingyu's activity area in recent days must not be too far away from here.
So the only thing left is to go into the mountains and look for it.
When and when you can find it, whether you can find it or not, everything depends on luck.
Just before setting off, Hu Biao and the others brought as much food and clothes as possible without affecting their actions and fighting.
But even so, they only carried away a small part of the supplies in the two large trucks.
Looking at the large pile of supplies left, everyone naturally knew that maybe just a mouthful of broth, a piece of clothing and shoes could save an anti-Union soldier.
For a moment, Hu Biao and the others were reluctant to give up.
Finally, I found a small snow nest not far away, wrapped these things in tarpaulin, and then covered them with a layer of snow about 20 centimeters thick.
In this way, at least there is a chance to come back and see if these supplies have been discovered and taken away.
If not, how much more can be added.
As for the five remaining horses that had not fallen to the ground, Hu Biao and the others took off the reins, slapped the horses on the back, and let them escape into the wilderness...
Ever since they entered the mountain, Hu Biao and the others had no intention of concealing their traces. They headed deep into the old forest with great fanfare, fearing that others would not be able to see them.
The main reason was that Hu Biao was wondering whether General Jingyu and the others could have been active in the old forest for so long without any intelligence.
Therefore, instead of letting them as rookies find General Jingyu, it would be better for General Jingyu to discover himself and these obviously different characters, so that he can come in contact with them.
Then, at a time like this, around 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Hu Biao and the others encountered a Japanese punitive force, which numbered about a small group of Japanese soldiers. The battle started at that time.
