Chapter 118 Mantises catch cicadas, the oriole is behind (4)
It turned out that although Luo Yue decided to send troops to fight the Red Lotus Sect's army, he still couldn't feel at ease in his heart. After all, the safety of the camp is too important and must not be missed. Moreover, there were too many coincidences in Wang Zhong and Wang Qiang, and there were many suspicions.
Although Xie Tao and Zhu Nanzhen took the initiative to take over the task of dealing with this matter, to be honest, Luo Yue was really a little worried about the two of them. After all, these two people are relatively marginal people among the elders. They have never done anything that stands alone before. Sending them here is to make them gain experience. They can handle general things, but it is really difficult for them to leave them to deal with such major events.
In addition, Luo Yue could also see that after clearing the lurking personnel in the camp, the two of them were indeed a lot of psychological relaxation. Although they were still confident on the surface and were never careless, they were not nervous in reality. After all, they did not have enough political and administrative experience.
Of course, if Luo Yue is in the camp, he can play a role in supervision and strengthening management, and there is no need to worry about it. However, once Luo Yue leads the army away, the camp will only rely on Xie Tao and Zhu Nanzhen. Moreover, the army will withdraw, and the camp's garrison will be greatly weakened. Although the reinforcements in Shanghai will arrive soon, Bi Jin still has a gap of 2 or 3 days. Luo Yue also knows that Guan Jian, who will succeed or fail in a war, will only be 2 or 3 days, or 2 or 3 minutes, or even 2 or 3 minutes.
However, Luo Yue's position and administrative level are much higher than the two, and now he is the immediate boss of the two, because Luo Yue is now the title of deputy commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Disaster Relief Command, but all the social and political status of the elders are equal, and Luo Yue belongs to the military, while Xie Tao and Zhu Nanzhen belong to the local administrative system, not only does not belong to the same system, but also involves the subtle relationship between the army and the local area, so Luo Yue doesn't have to say anything more.
So that night, Luo Yue also thought hard and finally came up with a trick of playing hard to get. On the next day, not only did he lead the army out of the camp with great fanfare, but he also deliberately arranged people to tell Wang Zhong that reinforcements would arrive soon. If Wang Zhong was an ordinary disaster victim, then all these arrangements would certainly not be a problem, but if Wang Zhong's identity was really problematic, then he would definitely find a way to spread the news as soon as possible. Therefore, he also arranged personnel in the camp to closely monitor Wang Zhong's whereabouts. Once he found out that he had taken action, whether he escaped from the camp himself or passed through the contact point, he could follow the clues and lead out the forces behind Wang Zhong. Although Luo Yue led the army, he did not go far, so he stopped and waited for the results in the camp.
Sure enough, on the day the army left the camp, Wang Zhong fled from the camp during dinner, but the people who were monitoring Wang Zhong were staring at him, and someone kept tracking him, and found the small mountain village where their group was hiding.
After receiving the news, Luo Yue couldn't help but be overjoyed. His move really worked. So he immediately led the army to the vicinity of the small mountain village overnight and surrounded the small mountain village completely. However, when attacking at night, there would be loopholes due to poor vision. In order to ensure that the entire village was wiped out, no one was left. On the other hand, it was necessary to make sure that the small village was indeed Wang Zhong's outer support base. Therefore, Luo Yue decided to wait until dawn in the morning to launch an attack.
After dawn, Luo Yue used a telescope to observe and found the problem. Although the people in the village were all civilian clothes, they were basically young and middle-aged people, without elderly people, children, women, and many people were carrying weapons. This is certain that those living in the village were definitely not normal civilians, so Luo Yue came down to attack.
The People's Army first used 60 mortars to bombard the small mountain village violently. Although the 60 mortars are not very powerful, the houses in the small mountain village are not solid structures, and are basically mainly made of wood. A few houses will add a layer of mud to some wooden structures, while the roofs are all paved with thatch, which can't resist the bombardment of mortars. Moreover, the people in the small village are not prepared at all. After being bombarded, they suddenly became panicked and looked for places to hide. However, the scope of the small village is not large, and there is no fortifications built, so there is no place to hide at all.
Of course, some people with agile minds could estimate that this stronghold must have been exposed, so they fled from the small village. However, as soon as they escaped from the village, they were immediately hit by fierce fire, killing and injured. The remaining people could only escape back to the small village and find a place to hide, regardless of whether they could avoid the bombardment of shells.
The People's Army's shelling lasted for about 10 minutes and fired more than 300 shells into the village. After the shelling was over, the entire village was beyond recognition. All rooms were blown to pieces, collapsed the walls, and the remaining broken walls were still burning with fire. The ground was covered with broken pieces of wood, mud, dead bodies, etc.
At this time, Luo Yue ordered the troops to attack the village and clean up the end of the game. The army was not blocked by any means, so they easily entered the village from all sides. While cleaning up the end of the game, searching for various documents, books and other objects; while cleaning up the bodies, looking for any living beings.
The entire battle was less than half an hour, but the cleaning time continued until after 2 pm. Finally, 43 complete Hanyang-made 88-type rifles, 12 pistols, more than 5,000 bullets, 2 mortars, and 60 shells were cleared from the ruins of the village. In addition, more than 100 rifles were found, with at least 20,000 bullets, and 2-3 mortars were dispersed, with about 100 shells, as well as some documents, maps, etc. Most of the documents were written in Japanese. It seems that Japanese people are involved.
Luo Yue couldn't help but talk a little. It seemed that the Japanese would come to Gan He for a kick in any matter, so they couldn't be careless.
Judging from the casualties, a total of 116 corpses were cleared and 47 were captured, but 12 of them were seriously injured and probably not long. However, Wang Zhong's body was found among the corpses, and Wang Qiang was also found among the prisoners, which completely proved that the two of them were sure that there was a problem. However, in the end, more than 30 living people were arrested, which should be able to basically understand the true nature of the whole thing from them.
Finally, in the mountains and forests about 300 meters northwest of the village, newly buried bodies were found. After careful excavation and investigation, a total of 62 people, including 28 women and 11 children. Obviously, these people were the original villagers, all of whom were killed and buried. If it were not for the clues discovered by the People's Army at the extreme that they had broken through the small village, they would not know how long these unjust souls would be buried underground before they could see the light of day again.
However, although the small mountain village was captured, there were still many subsequent matters. The seized documents must be identified, divided, and the prisoners must be interrogated. The dead villagers should also conduct necessary autopsy, etc. However, Luo Yue did not have time to deal with these matters. After all, he had to lead the army to fight the Red Lotus Sect's army, so he could only leave it to the camp for responsibility.
However, Luo Yue suggested to the camp that there is no need to send all the captured personnel back to the camp for processing, but a small camp was set up in the original place of this mountain village to handle these things. This is because there are probably people lurking in the camp, and if Japanese people participate, they cannot be underestimated. The Japanese have the ability to engage in conspiracy and tricks, and more than eight streets of the Red Lotus Sect. If these people are taken back to the camp for interrogation, it may be revealed, so that the lurking personnel in the camp will take risks and carry out sabotage operations. Therefore, a camp was set up on the original site of the mountain village and personnel were arranged to handle these things specifically, so the camp would not be discovered. The location of this camp is not far from the resettlement camp, only a dozen kilometers away. Under normal circumstances, you can reach it by walking about 2 hours. If you are riding a horse, it will be less than an hour. The scope of this camp does not need to be large, just leave a company of army guards.
After receiving Luo Yue's notice, Xie Tao and Zhu Nanzhen were also a little scared. The two of them were indeed as Luo Yue estimated. After arresting the hidden personnel of the Red Lotus Sect, they felt that everything was fine and their vigilance was greatly reduced. Even Wang Qiang disappeared from the camp, but they did not alert them, because they believed that even if Wang Qiang had a problem, they would have seen that the hidden personnel of the Red Lotus Sect were dug out and did not dare to stay in the camp, so they escaped. Luo Yue decided to take advantage of the plan to get, and the two of them thought that Luo Yue was making a big fuss and was too careful.
It was not unreasonable that Luo Yue's police officers were careful and cautious. It could be said that they saved the camp because there were Japanese people involved. Both of them knew that there were time travelers among the Japanese. The Japanese knew clearly about their own background. Because it was Zhu Nanzhen. Before the Far East War, Gao Senhang, who was fooled and turned against him by the Japanese, had a good relationship with him. Therefore, after the Shanghai terrorist attack, Zhu Nanzhen was asked twice by the Ministry of Security. Therefore, as long as there was Japanese ginseng, they would never be careless. It can be imagined that if Luo Yue's trick to get led to the Japanese stronghold, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As for Luo Yue's suggestion, he would set up a camp on the original site of the mountain village and arrange personnel to deal with these subsequent matters there, so naturally the two had no objections. After all, you must act carefully at this time, and it is not an exaggeration to be cautious. After negotiation, it was decided that Zhu Nanzhen would be responsible for the interrogators, appraisals, and dividing materials of the camp here.
