Chapter 1630 The Japs Delivered the Goods to Your Door
Gan Rong saw the mountains of grain and said happily:
"Commander-in-Chief! With so much food, we are not afraid anymore."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! These supplies are the foundation for the development of our task force. Chief Instructor! You will distribute weapons. If there are not enough guns, use swords, spears, and homemade cannons. Arm the new recruits first, strengthen their training, and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
Wen Ergou suggested, "Political Commissar! Most of the bandits under Liu Qihei are captured poor civilians. With a little mobilization, they can join our Eighth Route Army."
Xiang Chu nodded and instructed Zhang Fei: "Chief of Staff! You take your men and follow Wen Ergou to eliminate the remaining bandits around the mountain stronghold. If anyone wants to join us, we can recruit them."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Yes! Ergou! Let's go."
Wen Ergou said hurriedly: "Okay! Let's go."
Xiang Chu patted Niu Damao's shoulder and said with a smile:
"Big Cat! Take me to Liu Qihei's residence."
Niu Damao bowed respectfully and said, "Commissar, please!"
Xiaoliu scolded, "Big Cat! The political commissar is now called the commander-in-chief."
Niu Damao nodded and said, "Okay! Commander, please."
Xiang Chu scolded: "Big Cat! You have forgotten that you are a glorious Eighth Route Army soldier again. Straighten your back, otherwise how will you lead troops to fight in the future?"
Niu Damao straightened his back and said self-deprecatingly:
"I thought I was a bandit."
Xiang Chu and Xiao Liu followed him to Liu Qihei's residence.
The big bed was moved away and the floor was pushed open, and there was indeed a tunnel underneath.
Xiang Chu, Xiaoliu and Niu Damao walked into the tunnel with flashlights. Inside was an ancient tomb. There was no coffin anymore. It was filled with stolen money, as well as a large amount of food, weapons and ammunition.
Xiao Liu laughed and said, "Commander-in-Chief! I didn't expect Liu Qihei to have unearthed an ancient tomb. Hey! This mural shows a nine-tailed fox transformed into a woman. What dynasty is this tomb from?"
Niu Damao laughed and said, "Nine-tailed fox! It must be Daji, the woman of King Zhou of Shang, so it must be from the Shang Dynasty."
Xiao Liu said angrily, "I heard from the commander-in-chief that he has a wealth of knowledge."
Xiang Chu examined the murals on the stone wall and said thoughtfully, "Heart Moon Fox! The twenty-eight constellations correspond to the divisions on earth, and the Heart constellation represents the fox. This Tushan is probably the legendary Qingqiu!"
The Tushan clan took Tushan as its center and the nine-tailed fox as its totem. Dayu married Xiu Ji, a woman from Tushan, and gave birth to Xia Qi.
In my opinion, the Shang dynasty used the black bird as its totem, and this mural shows foxes and dragons. The Xia dynasty used the dragon as its totem, and the nine-tailed fox gave birth to Qi. This tomb probably dates back to the Xia dynasty."
Niu Damao praised: "The political commissar has a wealth of knowledge."
Xiao Liu scolded: "How come you forgot again?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Habits die hard! No need to correct them. Xiaoliu! Big Cat! You two find out where this tunnel leads to, and also find out what other tunnels there are on Tushan Mountain."
"Yes!"
Xiaoliu and Niu Damao hurriedly obeyed the order.
Dezhou, the "best roast chicken restaurant in the world".
Kenji Doihara was holding a big roast chicken and gnawing on it.
Gao Qiaoxiaozheng handed over a pot of Gubeichun and said with a smile:
"General! Eating chicken without drinking wine is a waste of food."
Doihara Ken'er took the wine jug and gulped it down in one gulp. He praised, "Wow! What a wonderful wine! Oh! If only I could stay in Texas forever."
Takahashi Xiaozheng taunted him, "If you stay in Dezhou any longer, Okamura Ningchi will kill you."
Doihara Xian'er threw the empty wine jug at him and shouted angrily: "Baka! You are the one with a life of a dog."
Takahashi Komasa took the wine jug and said with a grin, "Your Excellency, General! I'm worried that you might have lost the special train carrying important supplies."
Doihara Ken'er waved his hand and said, "They are just a few small Eighth Route Army guerrillas. The garrison troops along the railway can wipe them out."
Takahashi Komasa asked in confusion, "General! Why hasn't Takaichi Suneo's team arrived yet?"
Doihara Xian'er shouted angrily, "Baka! Is this general your messenger?"
Takahashi Xiaozheng said with a smile: "Your Excellency, General! I am just worried that Miss Hua can't come over."
Doihara Ken'er waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! Takaichi Suneo will definitely bring Miss Hua back."
Takahashi Komasa waved his hands and shouted, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Oh!"
Doihara Ken'er was so angry that he kicked him away.
At this time, Xiao Qi ran over and reported: "Your Excellency, General! According to intelligence, Takaichi Suneo's team and Hua Miss stayed in Doian."
"what?!"
Doihara Kan'er was stunned.
Takahashi Komasa scoffed, "Alas! Some people are really stupid."
Doihara Xian'er roared, "Come here! Drag Takahashi Komasa out and behead him in public."
When Takahashi Xiaozheng heard this, he turned around and ran away.
Doihara Ken'er was so angry that he jumped up and shouted:
"Yamada Motoo! Go and get Takahashi Komasa."
"Hello!"
Xiao Qi hurriedly accepted the order.
Ninagawa Nishiemon ran over and reported loudly:
"General! Commander Okamura called and said the important special train is about to arrive in Cao County. Why are you still enjoying yourself in Dezhou instead of protecting the special train?"
Doihara Kan'er shouted, "Such confidential information, how dare you say it out loud like that?"
Ninagawa Nishiemon hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, General! I admit my mistake. Here is the message from Section Chief Aoki."
After he finished speaking, he handed the telegram folder to Doihara Kan'er.
Doihara Kenji took the telegram folder and read it, muttering to himself, "Instead of following the orders of that skinny Okamura, I'd rather agree to Miss Aoki's request and destroy the Eighth Route Army's Lü Zheng Detachment."
When Xiaoqi heard the information about the special train, he hurried back to his residence and sent a telegram to Xiang Chu.
Tushan, Cao County, task force headquarters.
Xiang Chu is convening a meeting of key members to discuss how to strengthen military training and develop bases.
He allowed everyone to speak freely and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Liu Zhengxiong suggested: "Commander-in-Chief! Tushan is just a small dirt slope with no strategic location to defend. It's too dangerous to use it as a base. Let's move to another location."
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "We can't change them for now! If we withdraw, the people who have fled from Henan have already been resettled in the surrounding area. What will you do with them?"
Liu Zhengxiong shook his head and said, "Although we have many people, our weapons are few and worn out. If we don't go into the mountains and fight guerrilla warfare, we will be surrounded by the enemy sooner or later if we stay in Tushan."
Niu Damao said with a smile, "Deputy Captain! Don't underestimate Tushan. There are many tunnels and underground palaces inside. We are not afraid of any number of enemies."
Liu Zhengxiong scolded: "Big Cat! Call me deputy commander-in-chief. You and Ergou actually became bandits and failed to live up to my high expectations of you."
Niu Damao and Wen Ergou cried, "Deputy Captain! We were forced to do this."
Liu Zhengxiong scolded: "If the devils force you, will you still be traitors? From now on, you two will be Eighth Route Army members in life and ghosts of the Eighth Route Army in death! Do you understand?!"
"understood!"
Niu Damao and Wen Ergou said this in a firm tone.
At this time, Qian Fu rushed into the command center and reported:
"Commander-in-Chief! There's a message."
After he finished speaking, he handed the telegram sent by Xiao Qi to Xiang Chu.
Xiang Chu took the message and said with a smile, "Great! The Japs have delivered it to our door."
