Chapter 698 The army presses the territory
By the same token, after Niu Yan returned, he immediately informed Dai Mao about the exposure.
"What? We're exposed?" Dai Mao was a little dumbfounded. This betrayal career hasn't even begun yet, and it's already been exposed? Isn't this funny?
"Aren't you trying to trick me?"
"How could I know that Du Yiming was actually a spy and not an anti-Japanese fighter at all? He defected and joined the bandit army in the northern border. What do you think we should do? I have no idea." Niu Yan cried, "I have become a lost dog myself."
"What should we do now? Does Captain Zhang already know?" Dai Mao was very depressed.
"They probably don't know yet. If they knew, they would come to arrest us. But I'm afraid they will know soon." Niu Yan replied.
"Then let's run quickly? Back to Ice City." Dai Mao said immediately.
Dai Mao also knew that the consequences of betrayal would never be good.
Besides, the provisional government was about to be established. Zhou Fohai and Li Shiqun were doing well, but in this cold mountainous area of Songyuan, without quilts and food, life was really difficult and bitter.
It’s not that Dai Mao can’t endure hardship, but how can he bring happiness to others if he lives like this?
"What's going on? We haven't achieved any merit, and Gao Bing won't let us go back at all." Niu Yan explained.
Dai Mao wanted to cry but had no tears.
"It's bad now. I can neither go back nor stay. You also said that we didn't do anything meritorious, and I have never betrayed the team once. I'm going to confess to Captain Zhang." Dai Mao felt like he was in a fire pit.
"Are you crazy? You go and confess? I will die!" Niu Yan was angry.
"You run away, and I'll confess, then we can both survive." Dai Mao's mind suddenly became smarter at this time.
"What can I take back? Do you think you can clear yourself now? Gao Bing has recognized you. If you go back, will Captain Zhang still believe you? Will the higher-ups still use you? You are so naive." Niu Yan retorted vigorously.
Dai Mao was caught in a dilemma.
"But I still have good news for you. Okamoto Neiji is here to take charge of the entire North China and to suppress all the unstable factors in North China. Colonel Kishitani will replace Colonel Miyamoto and be responsible for suppressing the bandits. If you defect now, you will be destroyed. By the same token, if we synchronize all the intelligence of the guerrillas, it will be a great achievement and we can return to Ice City and the Special High Section. Do you understand?" Niu Yan's words made Dai Mao compromise again.
"But haven't we been exposed?" Dai Mao replied.
"There is another way to prevent us from being exposed." Niu Yan already had a vicious method.
"What method?"
"Radio, just destroy the radio." Niu Yan said.
"Yes, what if they come?" Dai Mao asked again.
"Songyuan County is all under Japanese control, and our guerrillas are all old faces, so we can immediately recognize new faces when they come." Niu Yan said.
Dai Mao nodded after listening to this. It seemed that this was the only way at the moment.
Dai Mao sighed, not knowing why he had come to this point. Perhaps it was because of hatred, a hatred that was difficult to erase.
Dai Mao kept thinking in his mind how to balance the affairs between Qin Tian and Gu Shumei.
The reason why Dai Mao hesitated and did not report Qin Tian until now was because he wanted to save Gu Shumei and let Qin Tian die alone.
If he reported it directly, Gu Shumei would also die, and that was not what Dai Mao wanted to see.
Dai Mao also thought about directly reporting Qin Tian but holding on to Gu Shumei as a prerequisite to negotiate with Gao Bing, but Dai Mao did not trust the Japanese.
Dai Mao was not a peasant before, but a rich peasant. Later, when warlords ruled this area, they plundered his family's wealth. He then joined the Communist Party and fought against the Nationalist Army and the Japanese. He can be said to have come a long way.
But he was once a rich kid, and he still misses and yearns for his former glory days.
Before his death, his father had instructed Dai Mao to revive the Dai family.
But now, Dai Mao is facing problems with even poor food, shelter and clothing, and he has high hopes for Captain Zhang.
Once Okamura Yasuji arrived, this guerrilla force would face a life-and-death situation.
Dai Mao really has to make a choice.
The next day.
Qin Tian got up late and went directly to the main road south of Bingcheng to welcome the arrival of Colonel Kishitani's large army.
Many leaders from other bureaus also came.
After waiting for more than an hour, Colonel Kishitani's team slowly appeared.
"This is the elite force that wiped out General Yang's troops."
Gao Bing on the side also admired him very much.
Colonel Miyamoto's team was not really elite. They were the team that was defeated and retreated in the Battle of Taierzhuang. When they arrived at the rear defense line of Ice City, they were lying flat.
"Yes, I heard that they have strict discipline and are an elite force under General Okamura Yasuji." Qin Tian came this time not only to welcome them, but more importantly to observe the equipment of this team.
As expected, what worried Qin Tian was that there were two tanks in the front, followed by heavy artillery.
This heavy cannon is not comparable to Miyamoto's mortar. Its power can be imagined.
At the same time, this Japanese army was outstanding in both military posture and discipline. Each of them was as strong as an ox and full of murderous intent.
The Japanese army was indeed very powerful at that time. When they invaded the south, they almost crushed the enemy with ease.
The Nationalist Army and the Communist Party's anti-Japanese efforts were actually very powerful.
When Colonel Kishitani came over, everyone came forward to welcome and greet him.
Even though the military rank is only colonel, colonels who actually lead troops into battle have real power, like Colonel Fujiwara, who is not comparable to ordinary colonels.
"The southern part of Ice City is quite peaceful. There wasn't even a trace of disturbance along the way I came here." Colonel Kishitani said jokingly.
Domoto Ishio stepped forward and said, "Knowing that Colonel Kishitani's elite troops were coming, they all hid. How dare they show up and seek death?"
Major General Yutani is not suitable for this kind of reception. Domoto Ishio represents the Japanese army and is the right person.
Ice City has not yet been handed over to Neiji Okamura, and even if it is handed over, it will still require excessive work.
"Haha, I've heard that the bandits in Ice City are very rampant." Colonel Kishitani said.
"They are mainly concentrated in the north. There is a northern bandit army there, and they are quite rampant." Gao Bing responded.
Colonel Kishitani glanced at Gao Bing and said, "I guess this must be Mr. Doihara's capable disciple, Gao Bing, right?"
"Colonel Kishitani has a unique vision. I am just a trifle in front of you. The Special High Police and the Special Service Bureau are all serving your war. You are the greatest contributors." Gao Bing has also learned to flatter.
"Okay, once I have my troops stationed there, I will come and discuss matters concerning the guerrillas and the bandit army with you," said Colonel Kishitani.
"This is not an urgent matter. The army has traveled a long distance, so they should take a rest first. I have arranged everything." said Domoto Ishio.
"it is good."
The entire team, with about three thousand people, began to enter the city.
