A Beijing-Hangzhou Canal passes through the lake, a main island less than two square kilometers and a number of natural islands, surrounded by clear water, and the canal passes through the middle, small and exquisite, like a beautiful ink painting.

It is Nanyang Ancient Town, one of the four famous towns in the Ancient Canal. The other three are: Yangzhou, Zhenjiang and Xiazhen Xia Town, not far away, just by Zhaoyang Lake.

On a quiet afternoon, a fleet of seven or eight ships slowly approached Nandianzi.

A small team of Japanese troops stationed in Nanyang Town, mainly an important passage from south to north to the canal, a dock gathering, and a cargo distribution center. Although due to the war, the number of ships on the canal was reduced a lot.

But the cargo merchants who run the boat always have to eat. Although the Japanese plundered them well, the goods in the occupied areas were not circulated and the economy could not be improved, which would not be beneficial to them.

So, they set up a transportation management office in Nanyang and set up a garrison team to station them. The police in the town also used the previous people.

But the leader of the police station was replaced by Tian Laoqi, who defected to the Japanese.

In Nanyang Town, the three surnames Tian, ​​Yang and Ma are big clans, and they also have dozens of foreign surnames, but none of them are in a state of harmony. If the three major families do not nod, they will not be able to fall into their roots!

The canal is prosperous, and every inch of land is worth every inch, especially since it has received the emperor, which is even more extraordinary. Therefore, it is difficult for anyone to enter Nanyang Town without nodding!

Of course, sometimes local snakes cannot fight strong dragons, let alone this dragon is still a human-eating evil dragon. After the Japanese came, Nanyang Town, which is prosperous, lively and simple, has become deserted.

Although there are boats docking every day on the canal waterway, it has really plummeted compared to before the war last year.

Nanyang is very important in geographical location and is also an island. It is easier to control the news and not leak out. The main force of the first division of Honor is more than 20,000 people. If you want to approach Jining City silently and achieve the suddenness of launching an attack, you must have a place to transfer.

Especially for logistics and ammunition and drug supplementary sites, these cannot be operated in one go, and setting up a transit station is inevitable.

On the waterway, Nanyang is a very important link. It was once the location of canal management checkpoints in history. If you stuck here, it is equivalent to stuck in the passage of ships heading south or north.

Seven or eight cargo ships are close to Nandianzi, which is already within the scope of Nanyang Town.

"Go and report to Mr. Tian Qi. A boat has come in. It seems that the water is quite deep and there is a good product!"

"yes!"

On the bow of the boat, Jiang Chao, dressed in gray linen, was wearing a straw hat. In the cabin behind him, two rows of officers and soldiers from the Yasha Camp in full dress were sitting inside, with a solemn expression.

To easily take Nanyang Town, you must be secret and not exposed. Shangguan Zhibiao handed over this task to Yasha Camp.

"The boat stops, we're going to get on the boat to check!"

"Boss, we are all serious people, doing some small business."

"Who knows if you have any prohibited items on your boat? Get out of the way, we need to check it." A bald policeman who looked like the captain jumped onto the boat and pushed Jiang Chao away.

A sharp light flashed in Jiang Chao's eyes, and he was worried that you would not come up.

"The boss can't do it, there are female relatives inside"

When he heard that there was a female family member, the guy immediately showed an evil look and couldn't wait to lift the curtain. But when he saw that there were fully armed soldiers sitting inside, with heavy machine guns and mortars in the middle of the cabin, he was shocked and his soul suddenly emerged!

But Jiang Chao went to pull him openly, but secretly kicked him.

A gurgle!

The bald policeman suddenly disappeared into the curtain of the ship. Two soldiers at the door rushed over like lightning. One pressed it down and could not move. The other took out a handful of rags and stuffed them directly into his mouth.

"Boss, boss, no," Jiang Chao screamed outside, causing five or six pseudo-police policemen on the so-called "patrol boat" to laugh and go wild.

"Several bosses, please, the child is still young."

"Haha, let's go in and take a look?"

I can't get out if I go in!

"Battery Commander, the show is good, you can go to civilized dramas!" A total of five pseudo-police policemen were all taken away, their official clothes were stripped away, and then tied up in all kinds of things.

"Hurry up, the place we are going to is the water transportation management office!"

"clear!"

The water transportation management office has long been controlled by the Japanese. Jiang Chao and others used their disguised identities to quickly break in and control the situation, and replaced everything inside and out with their own people.

In order to control the water traffic rush of a canal like Nanyang, the Japanese even placed a small team of Japanese garrison troops in Nanyang. The captain was a second lieutenant, and everyone in the town called him the "lustful Captain Mitsui."

This guy is not an active-duty officer, but a reserve officer. He can't make it in China anymore and bribed his boss to come to China and become the garrison captain.

This guy is less than 1.5 meters tall, with a rosacea and a dead fish eyeball. He is also very greedy and lustful. As soon as he arrives in Nanyang, he asks someone to find a flower girl for him. When he finds money, he is even more cruel than shaves the ground. The people in Nanyang hate him to the core.

It was so easy to deal with such an enemy, and he was deceived from the military camp with just one call.

Taking Sanjing, controlling all external communication channels in the town, and then attacking the military camp, Jiang Chao easily occupied Nanyang Town. Then, Shangguan Zhibiao led a spy regiment to Nanyang Town.

All water and land passages in Nanyang Town are included in the control.

"Send a telegram to the division headquarters. Our headquarters has occupied Nanyang Town and no news has been disclosed!" Shangguan Zhibiao ordered and established his command center in the water transportation management office.

"yes!"

"There are a total of 47 Japanese soldiers captured in the regiment. What should I do?" The staff officer came in and asked.

"I didn't see what Japanese soldiers captured!" Shangguan Zhibiao turned around and asked back.

"Yes, there are no Japanese prisoners!" The staff officer understood it.

"Wait a minute, leave that fat man Mitsui."

"yes!"

"Shangguan, if you let the anti-war group know this, it will probably be troublesome." Jiang Chao came in from outside and heard everything Shangguan Zhibiao said.

"I don't know what you guy said."

"Pretending to be confused, don't worry, I won't sue you. After inquiring, these Japanese soldiers are full of evil deeds, and each shot is enough."

"Then you still say?" Shangguan Zhibiao asked.

"I want to lead the team to Jining for investigation, so I'll leave it to you here. By the way, is there a location for the division headquarters?" Jiang Chao asked.

"You just go with confidence, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the division headquarters." Shangguan Zhibiao said that the secret service regiment is not full now, with less than 500 people, but controlling one Nanyang Town is enough.

The army only transited in Nanyang Town and would not be stationed in Nanyang, so the workload was not very large, but some places needed to be freed up.

"Captain, this is Mitsui's confession, please take a look."

"There are less than two brigades of Japanese troops in Jining City." Shangguan Zhibiao said solemnly, "Send this information to the division headquarters immediately."

"yes!"

"I'll go first. If it's probably soon, I can spend the night in Jining City tonight!" Jiang Chao said, "I'll take someone to queue up, please help me watch the rest."

"I understand, go quickly." Shangguan Zhibiao waved his hand.

"Catch the map of Nanyang Town"

Weishan Island.

"Shangguan Zhibiao called and had already controlled Nanyang Town. He learned from the Japanese garrison Mitsui that there were less than two brigades of Japanese troops stationed in Jining."

"This is a good thing for us."

"The intelligence was provided by Japanese prisoners, but we need to confirm that Jiang Chao has led his team to close for investigation. I hope there will be good news, which can also reduce our casualties!" Leng Feng said.

"Teacher seat, the Third Army Telegram!"

"Old Xie, take a look!" Leng Feng handed it to Xie Jiyuan after reading the telegram.

"Secretary, it seems that the information obtained by Shangguan Zhibiao is correct. The Japanese army in Jining City has come out. They are trying to open up the transportation line to the south. It seems that the Japanese army's plans for western Shandong have already been on the agenda!" Xie Jiyuan said.

"The attack in Taierzhuang is not good. If it were me, I would have other ideas. The time is almost over, and the villagers on the island will practice it for us. This kind of love is still a must."

"Yes, these simple people are our strong backing. If we cannot protect them well, we are not worthy of being a middle-aged man!"

The main theme of practicing the banquet is to be simple and grand. The people on the island are not well-off, and Leng Feng does not want to waste it, so everything is simple.

The village chiefs and village elders of each village have come. The Honorary First Division is stationed on Weishan Island, which is not harmful to the people on the island. It also helps the island to renovate roads, build forts and villages, helps them train their armed forces, and give guns and ammunition!

The villagers and the villagers all saw this and were grateful. They all said that they had never encountered such a good team, so after getting along for a month, everyone was a little reluctant to let it go!

"Friends, don't worry, when we leave, we are temporarily going to help the people from other places drive away the Japanese invaders and let them live a good life, and we will come back."

"Done!"

"General Leng, I have a heartless request. Can you bring these young young people on the island with you and let them do their part for this country?"

"Uncle, do you want them to join the army?"

"Yes, they are all obedient children. You may have to fish and farm for the rest of your life when you stay on the island."

"this"

"Could General Leng dislike these children?"

"No, no, uncle, you are so serious, I can't welcome you. But are your parents still there and are you supported by your wife and children?" Leng Feng asked.

"Please rest assured by General Leng. They all voluntarily. After joining the army, everything in their homes will be taken care of by the village, and there will be no burden!"

"Okay, but I won't accept it!"

"you say!"

"The only child in the family will not be accepted, and the age of less than 18 will not be accepted. In addition, those who do not meet the conditions will not be accepted. What do you think?"

"General Leng's benevolence and righteousness, just do what you said!" Uncle Zhang agreed immediately after hearing this.

"Okay, everyone who joins the army will give thirty oceans a deposit. Uncle, what do you think?" Leng Feng was also a cheerful person. It would be nice to have a hundred people on the island to join the army. Besides, there must be a defense force on the island. Young people have joined the army. Who will fish and farm and support the elderly?

"well"
