I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 172 Fang Ximen wants to join the 8th Route Army

Fang Ximen, the commander of the mixed brigade of the Imperial Army, sat upright on his horse, calling out the formation by name.

His action immediately angered Captain Xu of the Eighth Route Army.

Captain Xu threw his hat to the ground and said fiercely: "You are looking for death, I will grant your wish."

After saying that, he snatched a Hanyang rifle from a soldier next to him and aimed at Fang Ximen.

Wu Changfeng picked up Captain Xu's hat and put it on Captain Xu's eyes.

Captain Xu took off the hat that was on his face and looked at Wu Changfeng in confusion.

Wu Changfeng said: "This behavior shows that Fang Ximen is not a fool, but he really has something to ask me."

Fang Ximen, who was at the foot of the mountain, saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he raised his head and began to observe the high places around him.

At this time, Fang Ximen's adjutant came over and looked at the surrounding terrain.

Then he turned to Fang Ximen and said, "Captain, are you sure there are Eighth Route Army soldiers ambushing us here?"

Fang Ximen looked for a while, and finally looked in the direction of Wu Changfeng's command center.

Wu Changfeng was on the mountain, looking at Fang Ximen's eyes, and began to pay attention to his own direction.

Deputy Regiment Commander Wu smiled and said to Battalion Commander Xu: “This Fang Ximen can find the location of my headquarters.

It seems that there is something in his mind.”

After finishing his words, Wu Changfeng put the revolver back into his waist.

He turned to Captain Xu and said, "Don't move without my order. I'm going to meet the west gate of this room."

Then Wu Changfeng changed direction and walked towards the west gate of the house at the foot of the mountain alone.

Seeing Wu Changfeng coming to see him alone, Fang Ximen immediately dismounted his horse and went to meet him alone.

The two men walked to the opposite side, and Fang Ximen was the first to salute Wu Changfeng.

"I am Fang Ximen, the commander of the 15th Mixed Brigade. I would like to see Commander Wu today."

Wu Changfeng replied: "I am Wu Changfeng. What do you want from me?"

Fang Ximen didn't care about Wu Changfeng and didn't return the gift to himself.

Come to think of it, my current identity is that of a complete "dog" traitor.

How could I have the nerve to allow anti-Japanese soldiers to salute me?

Fang Ximen said: "Commander Wu, let's make it short. My sworn brother was killed by Brigade Commander Wu Fatian.

If your army is willing to lend me troops to avenge me, these two thousand of my men are willing to revolt on the battlefield and join the Eighth Route Army."

Wu Changfeng widened his eyes, thinking that there could be such a good thing.

Without firing a single shot, I can get the strength of an entire regiment. Does that mean I have the halo of a protagonist?

Fang Ximen was afraid that Wu Changfeng would not believe him, so he told him the whole story.

How Wu Fatian had a conflict with Watanabe, and how his sworn third brother Lu Da Kui pulled out a gun at the Japanese for Wu Fatian.

Then, in order to please Watanabe, Wu Fatian actually took action himself and shot Lu Dagui in the back of the head.

Lu Da Kui died, and the other brothers in the guard company were ordered by Wu Fatian to put down their guns.

Unexpectedly, these Japanese soldiers had no martial ethics and suddenly launched an attack, stabbing more than 30 brothers to death with bayonets.

Originally, many soldiers in our regiment did not want to work for the Japanese and Wu Fatian.

So Fang Ximen wanted to take this opportunity to take his brothers and join the anti-Japanese camp.

Wu Changfeng felt like he was listening to a divine book. What kind of plot was this?

Fang Ximen looked at Wu Changfeng, his face full of doubts, as if he didn't quite believe himself.

No wonder Wu Changfeng couldn't believe it. They now had only 6,000 people to deal with more than 100,000 Japanese devils and traitors.

Without the recommendation of the underground party or the Enemy Work Department, they could not rashly accept Fang Ximen's group.

If they are not careful at all, not only the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment will be disgraced.

Even the common people in the base behind them suffered heavy losses.

In order to gain the trust of his opponent, Fang Ximen had no choice but to use his ultimate move.

In front of Wu Changfeng, he pointed out the Eighth Route Army's deployment in the front.

Used to make Wu Changfeng believe that he really had no ill intentions.

“Captain Wu, I think you have prepared a minefield for us in the open area ahead!

I see that you have deployed at least two thousand troops on both sides of the valley.

Your ambushers seem to be from two different forces.

On that hillside where you emerge should be your main force.

The troops on the opposite hillside should be the local troops that you often talk about.

This bunker is indeed well dug, but it still has flaws.

It's not as good as what your main force did. If you observe carefully, you can still find some clues. "Wu Changfeng has begun to admire his military accomplishments. As expected, he saw his arrangements clearly.

Wu Changfeng smiled and said, "What else do you think? Tell me more."

Fang Ximen didn't hesitate and pointed at several places on the hillside and spoke.

"If I see correctly, your machine gun positions should be in those places.

And your command post is behind the big rock on the ridge."

Wu Changfeng asked in surprise: "You can see this too?"

Fang Ximen said: "Because there are machine gun positions in those places, it is most comfortable to launch an ambush.

As for how I discovered your headquarters, one reason was the location.

Commanding the battle there will allow you to easily observe the overall situation.

Another thing is that you have too many telescopes. I took a look and found two reflections.

You know, our regiment is equipped with Type 92 infantry gun.

If I really had a plan, I wouldn't have asked you to come down the mountain, I could have just used artillery to deal with you."

Wu Changfeng chuckled, he didn't expect that it was because of him and Captain Xu.

When observing the enemy situation through a telescope, Fang Ximen inadvertently revealed a flaw that allowed him to guess his own command center.

To be honest, Wu Changfeng has now begun to value talent.

It is such a pity that such a good candidate for a regimental officer becomes a traitor in the Imperial Army.

It would be better to just recruit him into the New Clothes Regiment and let him follow Li Yunlong to fight the Japanese. That would be great.

I heard that the brigade is about to establish a new second regiment, and the brigade political department has already talked to him.

I'm afraid that after this battle, he will be transferred to the New Second Regiment and serve as the regiment commander.

If Fang Ximen could join the new group, even if I had to leave, I would be able to rest assured about Lao Li's development.

Wu Changfeng said: "I can trust you, and I can accept you on behalf of the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

Do you have any other requests? Feel free to tell us now.”

Fang Ximen said, "Sir, I hope you can show mercy after the war.

If any brothers want to return home, I hope you can let them go. "

Wu Changfeng said: "If they want to leave, it can be approved.

We will provide them with travel expenses in accordance with relevant regulations.

They just can’t go back with their guns, I hope you understand that.”

Fang Simon: Well, if you’re not allowed to take a gun back with you, then don’t take it.

Those who wanted to take their guns back were either drafted as conscripts and continued to be traitors, or were caught and shot as deserters.

I guess in the end, they won’t even think about leaving.

However, Fang Ximen did not point this out because there was another reason behind it.
