Just as night fell, Ma Ping'an's telegram was sent. He first said that Li Yunlong and others had left. Then there was the latest news about the Japanese Fifth Division.

These news includes some of the Japanese military forces that were not mentioned before, as well as a large number of collected forces related to the deployment and composition of the Japanese puppet troops.

Ma Ping'an said that the components of these Imperial Army were very mixed, some were brought by the Japanese from the Northeast, such as the Royal Guards and the First Manchurian Division.

This first division is currently in Feicheng, Pingyin line.

In addition to this First Division, a mixed brigade of the Imperial Army on the Pingyin, Feicheng and Ningyang also operated in this area. Their main structure was the security regiment in North China, including some traitors who surrendered to the Japanese army after the Japanese army headed south.

And Ma Ping'an said that this afternoon, their underground party members found signs of mobilization of the Royal Guards stationed in Sishui Town. However, because they were too far apart, he could not determine the specific number of people transferred by the Royal Guards. He just felt that they should be heading towards Ningyang.

Dragon Boat Festival looked at Ma Ping'an's telegram and frowned slightly, because not only were there many enemies than he had imagined, but the Japanese's movements were also faster than he had imagined, and the mysterious Royal Guard had already moved.

But what did they do in Ningyang County? Should they go to assist in defense, or is the Japanese ready to attack?

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that the Japanese should not be attacking. Because if the Japanese wanted to attack, the Japanese on the Western Front would definitely move first.

The Japanese will start with the 55th Army of the Third Army, because the defense zone of the 55th Army is next to the defense zone of the Second Army. If we cut it off, the connection between the Fifth War Zone and the Second War Zone will be blocked, and the portal for combat on the Western Front can be opened, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Therefore, except for the Japanese army's large-scale attack, only the Japanese army in Ningyang County was insufficient, and the Imperial Army was transferred from Sishui County to assist in defense.

But just when Dragon Boat Festival thought that the Royal Guards were just going to assist in defense, a guard hurriedly walked in, rubbing his forehead with one hand and holding a ball of paper in his hand.

Dragon Boat Festival asked, "What's wrong?"

The guard said, "I am standing guard, I am hit by a stone in the head. I picked it up and saw that there was a piece of paper wrapped on it."

Dragon Boat Festival took the paper ball from the guards and opened it to see it, but saw it: "The old guys in Shangyu's spare parts have not all died yet, and they will come to visit tonight."

"Shangyu's spare parts."

Dragon Boat Festival murmured and remembered this name.

Shangyu's spare part, also known as the sticking rod part, was actually just an internal affairs department responsible for sticking cicadas, catching birds, and pruning flowers and plants for the emperor.

However, in the Yongzheng generation, brothers seized power and turned against each other, and became more and more intense, so the sticky department became a spy agency at that time. They were responsible for supervising ministers in the court and even had the right to arrest and handle cases.

So it was precisely because of this that the sticky rods were surrounded by talented people and strangers, which caused a bloody storm at that time.

Later, because the killing was too heavy on the stick, the emperor nominally canceled it. But in fact, this spare part of Shang Yu was still there. He just moved from the front of the stage to the backstage.

But it is precisely because of this that since Qianlong, few people have known the name Shangyu's spare place, and the number of people is not as large as before.

However, they are still here, for example, the Dragon Boat Festival master Dizang, who comes from Shangyu's spare place.

Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival also knew who sent the letter. His master came with him.

The Dragon Boat Festival immediately ordered: "Let Lao Nu send scouts immediately, with open whistles and secretly whistles, and I want to whistle and whistle to watch the whistle. I want to whistle and whistle to connect. Within a radius of ten miles of Wudaogou, even a fly cannot fly in. And order the whole army to be on guard. Let Zhu Shengzhong and his troops lurk in two groups in the forest near the forest. The enemy may come from our east, but they may also attack in the back. Let him be very energetic.

Order the rest of the troops to take good care of weapons and ammunition. If they really can't take good care of them, move the weapons and ammunition into the cave.

By the way, there is also food. If the food is destroyed, all our plans will be ruined. Go!"

"yes!"

The guards went to send orders, and at this time, the Dragon Boat Festival went to the innermost part of the cave.

Tang Jiujiu was not asleep yet, but when he saw Dragon Boat Festival come in, he asked, "Are you going to rest?"

Dragon Boat Festival said: "No, I want to go out to check the sentry. Stay in the cave and don't come out. At night, the mountain wind is very cold."

As the Dragon Boat Festival said, he inserted the Japanese samurai sword into his waist, and pinned the two black blades on his back. Then he put on his coat and left.

Tang Jiujiu frowned because she was not a fool. If Dragon Boat Festival really just went to check the ward, why did she bring her knife with her?

She also put on her clothes and wanted to go out, but she didn't expect that the guards outside the cave stopped Tang Jiujiu and said, "My wife, the mountain is cold outside, so the group seats tell you not to go out."

Tang Jiujiu asked back: "What happened?"

The guard shook his head and smiled, "We don't know either, we just knew that the regiment received a letter and then gave a few orders. We know so much."

"Then you send a few more people to protect the team."

But when Tang Jiujiu saw that she could not go out, she urged the guards to protect the Dragon Boat Festival.

The guard replied quickly: "Madam, don't worry, the third battalion commander is with the regiment. Moreover, the entire Wudaogou area is within the surveillance of our brothers, so there will be no trouble."

"well!"

Tang Jiujiu sighed helplessly and could only return to the cave.

Of course, she must be unable to sleep anymore. She will feel at ease after the war is over.

At the same time, Lao Nu, who was patrolling with Dragon Boat Festival, was checking for the missing items.

Lao Nu will send scouts to report to Dragon Boat Festival at the general location of the open and secret whistle. Dragon Boat Festival pointed out several locations to let Lao Nu send more personnel.

Lao Su said: "Who is the group zodiac who is it that you attach so much importance to?"

Dragon Boat Festival smiled and said, "Chinese people, and they are a group of amazing Chinese people. No wonder, the 29th Division will be disappointed when they go to Sishui County. By the way, Lao Nu, tell your brothers that they must be energetic. Our opponent this time may be stronger than the Japanese."

"How is this possible?"

Lao Nu frowned. Although he didn't believe it, the group leader said so, and that must be true.

But at this moment, just as Lao Nu was about to send more people, a series of gunfire suddenly came, just below two kilometers east of them.

Men in black dressed in black were shuttled through the forest. When the scouts of the Independent Regiment quickly fired and fired at the other party.

But in the next second, three men in black suddenly appeared behind the sentry, and cut off the sentry's head with one knife. Then the other party did not stop for a moment and continued to run forward.

Brush!

There were no one in black who knew how many of them were. They acted extremely quickly and were very scattered. Even if the sentries of the Independent Regiment were easily spotted and fired, they had little effect at all. The man in black who was instantly tearing a long hole in the defense line between the sentry and the scouts.

In other words, although Dragon Boat Festival responded, it was still a little slower. The scouts of the Third Battalion did not take their place and deployed defenses within a radius of ten kilometers, and the enemy had already come to kill.
Chapter completed!
