Shigetoku Shigetoku paused and said: "The captain of the Shucheng Military Police reported that the transport team has left Tongcheng early this morning. Judging from the time, it should be able to reach Shuxian this evening and then reach Feicheng tomorrow evening."
Naosaburo Okabe hummed and asked again: "Is there no problem with safety?"
"No problem." Shigetoku Shigetori paused and said, "About this transportation, the Condemnation Army Headquarters has already spread the word, claiming that it will be disembarked from Wuhu and then transferred to Feicheng. If nothing goes wrong, the National Army and the New Fourth Army will
Attention will be drawn to the Feiwu Highway line, and no one will think that the transportation team will go to Anqing."
Naosaburo Okabe frowned and said, "But don't forget, Feixi also has a group of very powerful bandits, so we must be on guard against them."
"This humble position has been taken into consideration." Shigeta Shigetori said, "Although the bandits in Feixi Eighteen Villages are powerful, they are nothing but loose sand. It is impossible to form a joint force in a short time. Therefore, unless the Feixi bandits know in advance that the transport team is crossing the border,
The specific route and exact time, otherwise it is impossible to pose any threat."
"Yoshi." Naosaburo Okabe said happily, "Then I'll be relieved."
After a pause, Naosaburo Okabe continued: "Only when this batch of arms is delivered to the Qingniuling front line in time, can our Kumamoto Division dare to truly let go of our hands and fight with the Dameishan Independent Regiment. Otherwise, we will inevitably be tied up and let go.
Even if you have a lot of strength, you can only score three or four points."
Shigetoku Shigeta paused and said: "Division commander, don't worry, nothing will happen to this batch of munitions."

Maple Tree Col is the only road from Tongcheng to Shu County. It is named because the mountain col is covered with maple trees.
At this time, there were no fewer than nine thousand people ambushed in Maple Tree Col!
This army was a division under Xia Hanzhong's 89th Army, and it was specially sent to ambush the Japanese convoy. Because he knew that the bandits in the Feixi Eighteenth Village had also united and prepared to ambush the Japanese convoy, Xia Hanzhong deliberately
The ambush point was moved forward to the vicinity of Tongcheng, and Maple Tree Col was finally selected.
Time passed slowly in boring waiting.
Seeing that it was almost noon, the expected Japanese transport team had not yet appeared. Xia Hanzhong couldn't help it, and immediately turned around and asked Zhu Zimao: "Zhu, it's already past noon, how come the Japanese transport team is still here?"
Didn’t show up? Didn’t you say that the Japanese transport team would set off from Tongcheng early this morning? Why hasn’t it arrived yet?”
Zhu Zimao frowned and said, "Maybe something happened and it was delayed?"
"Something happened that delayed us?" Xia Hanzhong immediately changed his face when he heard this and said angrily, "I think you are just playing tricks on us, deliberately releasing false news to deceive us, and then create an opportunity for the New Fourth Army to ambush, right? You
Be honest, did the Japanese transport team go to Wuhu?"
Zhu Zimao frowned and said, "Military Commander, if you want to say that, then I have nothing to say."
"You have nothing to say? I think you have been exposed, right?" Xia Hanzhong said angrily, "Adjutant Er, pull down Zhu and kill him!"
Before Erjican could step forward, Li Motang stepped forward to persuade him and said, "Okay, brother Hanzhong, I know you are anxious, but Zimao doesn't seem to be lying, so why can't you be more patient and wait a little longer? Maybe?
It's just like Zi Mao said, what really delayed the little devil?"
Xia Hanzhong snorted and said to Zhu Zimao: "Then wait another half an hour. If the Japanese transport team does not appear within half an hour, I will not be able to save you by then!"
Zhu Zimao frowned and said nothing, but he began to feel a little weak in his heart.
Damn it, the information obtained from Liu Jinbiao couldn't be false, right? But it couldn't be possible. Liu Jinbiao was not a god. It was impossible to predict that he would rebel. How could he get false information to deceive him?
Zhu Zimao was feeling uneasy when he suddenly saw an officer running over in a hurry, panting and reporting to Li Motang and Xia Hanzhong: "Seat down, military seat, the little devil is here!"
"Yeah?"
"Really here?!"
Li Mutang and Xia Hanzhong immediately became energetic after hearing this.
Zhu Zimao breathed a long sigh of relief, it was okay.
Xia Hanzhong was still worried and asked again: "Have you seen the motorcade?"
"Yes, there are a lot of trucks!" the officer gasped and replied, "There are hundreds of trucks at least, and even more flatbed trucks, all of which are filled with supplies!"
"Okay!" Xia Hanzhong was overjoyed when he heard this. He turned around and shouted to Er Jican, "Adjutant Er, pass my order and prepare to fight!"
"Yes!" Erjican agreed and turned around to deliver the order.
Xia Hanzhong's order was quickly passed down. The Nationalist officers and soldiers who were gathering in groups of twos and threes to chat and fight immediately perked up and quickly entered the ambush position. They quickly turned on the safety of their rifles, then took off the grenades and placed them on the trench in front of them.
.
Li Motang and Xia Hanzhong were on the mountainside of Fengshu Col, where they could clearly see the situation outside the mountain col ahead.
After about ten minutes, the first car appeared outside the mountain col ahead.
It was a three-wheeled motorcycle. Three Japs were sitting on the three-wheeled motorcycle to clear the way. A light machine gun with a crooked handle was also set up on the sidecar. Every time they walked a certain distance, they would hit a shuttle. This was the Japs.
Carrying out fire reconnaissance.
The Eighty-ninth Army was considered an old force that had experienced battles for a long time. Of course, they would not be deceived by the enemy's fire reconnaissance. They allowed the bullets to scream and pass overhead. None of the veterans of the Eighty-ninth Army moved.
He also pressed down on the new recruits around him, preventing them from moving.
Seeing that there was no movement, the Japanese's tricycle drove past quickly.
Not long after, a heavy-duty truck emerged from behind the ridge in front, followed by a second truck, then a third truck, and a fourth truck... In the end, Li Motang and Xia Hanzhong were too lazy to count.
There are really too many to count.
After the heavy-duty trucks passed by, there were also a large number of flatbed trucks pulled by mules. The truck compartments were covered with canvas, and it was unclear how many things were loaded inside, but these flatbed trucks were filled with bundles of packages and a pile of
Stack of wooden wooden boxes.
Seeing these packages and large wooden boxes, the officers and soldiers of the 89th Army stared straight-eyed. Many officers and soldiers even shed tears, because these packages and wooden boxes were all filled with military supplies and supplies.
Weapons and ammunition!
Darling, their 89th Army is getting rich this time!
Guessing that all the trucks and most of the flatbeds had entered the ambush circle, Xia Hanzhong raised the Browning, shot it above his head, and shouted: "Hit!"
Xia Hanzhong's gunshot was an order. After hearing the gunshot, the 89 officers and soldiers who had been ambushing on both sides of the road opened fire one after another. The dense bullets rained down on the unsuspecting Japanese on the road in an instant.
soldiers.

Between Shu County and Feicheng, there is a dangerous place called Yixiantian.
The highway from Anqing to Feicheng must pass through Xixiantian.
Just from the place name, you can tell that Yixiantian must be an extremely dangerous place. After discussing with Tang Kaishan and other bandit leaders, Lei Xiang chose Yixiantian as the ambush point.
Since midnight last night, more than 3,000 bandits from more than 20 villages in Feixi came to Xiantian early and endured the cold in the middle of the night. They waited until the sun came out to get warmer.
Then we waited for another day, and until evening, the Japanese transport team had not yet appeared.
Tang Kaishan looked up at the gradually darkening sky, and turned to ask Lei Xiang: "Lei Zi, why haven't the Japanese transport team appeared yet? Did you remember the time wrong?"
"It's impossible." Lei Xiang frowned and said, "The Japanese have decided to do it today!"
"That's strange." Tang Kaishan said, "Why haven't we arrived yet? It's less than twenty miles from Shucheng to Yixiantian. Normally, we should have arrived a long time ago."
Feng Wubian suddenly said: "Brother, could it be possible that the Japanese changed the time temporarily?"
"Impossible." Lei Xiang shook his head flatly, "There are strict regulations and restrictions on the little devil's transportation routes and time. It cannot be changed by simply changing it, because changing the transportation route and time will involve a series of changes, which is very serious.
Troublesome."
"Then there must have been an accident." Shi Xiaoqian said in a deep voice.
"Accident?" Tang Kaishan frowned and said, "What accident could happen?"
Feng Wubian said: "Brother, do you still remember Li Motang, the chief of staff of the 32nd Army who came to pay homage to the mountain that day? Not even this kid heard the news, and then led the 32nd Army to intercept our Hu.
"
"Thirty-two Group Army?" Tang Kaishan's expression changed when he heard this.
Shi Xiaoqian immediately said: "Brother, I'm going to find out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Xiaoqian had already rushed dozens of meters away. Because of his speed, he seemed to be flying over the bushes and grass. After a while, Shi Xiaoqian's figure had disappeared in the mountains and fields.
No more shadow.
Less than two hours after Shi Xiaoqian left, he came back out of breath.
"Brother, it's bad, it's bad, it's bad." Shi Xiaoqian ran to Tang Kaishan and said breathlessly, "What a dog, we, we, really let the 32nd Army stop us.
Yes, they ambushed the Japs’ convoy at Maple Valley.”
"What are you talking about?" Tang Kaishan shouted, "The Thirty-second Army ambushed the Japs' transport team in Maple Valley?"
"Yeah." Shi Xiaoqian nodded heavily and added, "When I arrived at Maple Au, the battle had already ended. The 32nd Army had already cleaned up the battlefield. My dear, there were a lot of trucks and carriages.
It’s full of munitions!”
"Damn it!" Tang Kaishan immediately became angry, "The Thirty-second Army Group of Dog Day dared to stir up trouble in Tai Sui, pull out teeth from the tiger's mouth, and rebel against them!" After finishing speaking, Tang Kaishan turned around and shouted.
, "Everyone in charge, take your brothers, and we will go to the Thirty-Second Army to settle the score!"
The more than twenty bandit leaders around responded loudly.
Lei Xiang quickly advised: "Brother Tang, stay calm and don't act out of anger."
"It's already this time, I can't calm down!" Tang Kaishan couldn't help but push Lei Xing away, and then said, "If the fat in your mouth is robbed by others, if you can bear this, then we can still be considered
Are bandits still considered men? All come with me and settle accounts with them!"
