Chapter 150: Concealing the truth
Gao Mu Xixiong originally hid in the anti-artillery cave, intending to take off his officer uniform and escape secretly.

Then I heard the Eighth Route Army soldiers say that they wanted to kill all the ordinary Japanese devils, but they wanted to capture the officers alive.

So he quickly put on his clothes again, and took out a pair of shoulder straps of the rank of major given to him by Yamazaki Jihei from his pocket and hid them.

In this case, if he was caught by the Eighth Route Army, the other side would think that he was a Japanese officer who wanted to get away with it. In addition, his shoulder straps were easily discovered, so it would be easy to prove that he was a major officer of the Japanese Locust Army.

By then, I, as a major, will be able to survive by relying on my military rank.

But Gao Mu Xixiong didn’t expect that he would be caught so quickly. He didn’t even have time to think about how to explain his identity.

When Sun Desheng pointed a gun at him, Gao Muxiong kept giving himself psychological hints in his heart: “I am a major, a major of the Yamazaki Battalion. I am still useful, useful. The Eighth Route Army will not kill me, no, no…”

After squad leader Liu said to take Gao Mu Xixiong to the regiment commander, Sun Desheng searched Gao Mu Xixiong.

After making sure that the other party was not carrying any dangerous items, he took Gao Mu Xixiong and several soldiers carrying the Japanese radio and communicators and walked towards Qin Yangming’s location.

On the way, Sun Desheng met another team of soldiers who were holding a Japanese communicator, so Sun Desheng took the three Japanese soldiers with him to Qin Yangming’s command post.

……

“Captain, the Japanese radio and the communicator are here, as well as a Japanese major.”

After Sun Desheng arrived at the command post, he reported to Qin Yangming.

While listening to Sun Desheng’s report, Qin Yangming looked up at the Japanese communicator behind Sun Desheng.

“Did you find the code book?”

“Found it, here.”

A soldier handed a small notebook to Goudan, who then passed it to Qin Yangming.

Qin Yangming took the code book and began to look through it.

When Gao Muxiong heard Sun Desheng calling Qin Yangming “Captain”, he immediately realized that the man in front of him, who was stronger than a bear, was the supreme commander of the Eighth Route Army unit attacking Wangjiapo, the commander of the Eighth Route Army Vanguard Regiment, Qin Yangming.

“I’ve always heard that the Eighth Route Army treated prisoners well. Just now I heard that an Eighth Route Army officer wanted to give an order to kill everyone, but was stopped by another officer.

It seems that the orders given by those officers were not unified with the commander.

Ordinary Eighth Route Army soldiers would dare to kill prisoners, but this commander probably wouldn’t…”

Gao Mu Xixiong looked at Qin Yangming, and his mind became active again.

Along the way, he could feel the gazes of the Eighth Route Army soldiers around him, and he was always worried that the Eighth Route Army soldier would not be able to hold back and shoot him dead.

He doesn’t want to die yet…

But now after seeing Qin Yangming, he was not so worried anymore.

It is well known that the Eighth Route Army has strict military discipline.

Those ordinary soldiers who did not comply with the regulations on preferential treatment of prisoners of war were shot, or at best imprisoned.

But now in front of him was a senior officer of the Eighth Route Army.

Such senior officers must abide by the regulations no matter what, otherwise how can military discipline be enforced?
Therefore, Gao Mu Xixiong is no longer worried about his own life. He is now a prisoner of war, and this Eighth Route Army officer must ensure his life safety.

Not to mention that he was a major. As long as he casually told the Eighth Route Army about any important information he had, he might be able to have a good life in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and then he could find a chance to escape.

“Take these three little devils out first.”

Qin Yangming simply glanced at the code book and signaled Sun Desheng to take the people out of the command post first. “Yes!”

After seeing the Japanese being taken away, Qin Yangming began to think about how to send a message to the 4th Brigade so that the 4th Brigade could quickly support the Yamazaki Battalion which had been completely wiped out.

“Old Zhang, go inform Minister Zhang and ask him to send someone to assist us in carrying out the ‘Hide the Sky and Escape the Sea’ plan.”

It is very likely that the Japanese planes will arrive at Wangjiapo again in an hour.

By then, when the Japanese planes see that the battle at Wangjiapo is over, they will definitely report the news that the Yamazaki Battalion has been completely wiped out.

By then, it would not be easy to get the Japanese Fourth Brigade to speed up and provide support.

The 4th Brigade might choose to stay where it is and wait for the Japanese from the other two brigades to arrive before advancing steadily.

Taking this situation into consideration, Qin Yangming proposed a plan, a plan to hide from the Japanese planes.

That is to send the new recruits of the vanguard regiment to change into the Japanese clothes and re-garrison the Japanese positions on Wangjiapo.

Then Zhang Wanhe from the logistics department organized people to take charge of the renewed attack.

The scene of the Eighth Route Army disguised as the Eighth Route Army still exchanging fire with the Yamazaki Battalion.

In order to make the disguise more realistic, Qin Yangming even asked the soldiers of the engineering company to install explosives around the position, and then sprinkled dust on the explosives to disguise the scene of a falling shell exploding.

The logistics department also provided a batch of weapons such as the Hanyang-made ones that were equipped with black powder and low-charge bullets with the warheads removed to cooperate with the performance.

The purpose was to let the Japanese planes see the fierce fighting between the Eighth Route Army and the Yamazaki Battalion on the Wangjiapo battlefield.

Qin Yangming named this plan: Concealing the Sky and Escape from the Sea.

Zhangye listened to Qin Yangming’s instructions, asked his guards to convey the order, and started to call Zhang Wanhe who was making preparations.

Qin Yangming looked at Zhangye’s guards who were about to leave the command post and gave them another warning.

“Xiao Heng, remember to tell Luo Chengwen who is cleaning the battlefield to change some of the Japanese corpses into our Eighth Route Army uniforms, and then put the corpses in the middle of the battlefield, don’t put them in neat rows.

Disguise it as a battlefield where our Eighth Route Army and the Japanese are fighting in close combat, so that it looks more tragic. “

“Yes!”

After seeing the Zhangye guard leave, Qin Yangming turned his gaze to the vanguard regiment telegraph operator who was waiting for orders.

“Prepare to send a message to the Japs’ Fourth Brigade.”

Qin Yangming recalled the content and format of the intercepted Japanese telegram sent by the brigade commander, and then spoke.

“For the content, write:
A part of the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on our position at 3 o’clock this afternoon.

The Eighth Route Army first carried out earthwork to dig the trench to a point fifty meters in front of our position.

Later, they used artillery fire to cover their charge against our entrenched positions.

Due to shortage of ammunition, in order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from seizing the position, our troops launched a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army.

Thanks to the heroic fighting of the Japanese locust army, our troops repelled three charges by the Eighth Route Army. We have suffered heavy losses so far and hope that the Fourth Brigade will come to our rescue quickly.

In addition: The Eighth Route Army Arsenal is undergoing an emergency transfer, and our troops are unable to break through the Eighth Route Army blockade to damage the equipment of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal. “
