Chapter 184: The Japs' Crazy Search for Gold
Gaoda smiled and said after hearing Meng Debiao's assurance.
"Director Meng, the production of other weapons and ammunition at the Ping An Arsenal cannot be left behind. I think the new factory building is about to be completed. I will go and get some good stuff back then."
Meng Debiao was delighted when he heard Gaoda's words.
He was very much looking forward to the good things that the commander was talking about. The commander always gave him surprises every time. He really didn't know where the commander got so many gossips from.
After inspecting the arsenal, Gaoda led his men back to Lijiazhuang.
After half an hour.
Gundam saw the monk rushing over to the command center.
"Commander, you called me here so urgently, is there a new mission?"
Gundam nodded slightly.
"Monk, I called you over here to tell you something important."
"We robbed the Japanese train last night and found some antiques. Arrange for someone to deliver them to the Eighth Route Army headquarters. These antiques are of little use to us."
Wei Dayong said loudly: "Yes, Commander, I will lead the team to deliver the antiques today."
..............
Shortly after the special forces battalion and others left last night.
The patrol car behind the train heard a loud explosion.
When the Japanese patrol car arrived at the explosion site, they were shocked to find that the train on the track had been blown into a pile of debris.
The Japanese soldier immediately drove the patrol car back to the station to report to the Japanese captain.
"Report to the captain, the truck carrying supplies from Taiyuan to Beiping was destroyed."
"Nani?"
"Bagaya road!"
"Adjutant, immediately organize the troops to go to the scene of the incident."
After half an hour.
The Japanese captain led his men to the site of the train explosion, only to see a devastated scene with scattered supplies and corpses everywhere.
"idiot!"
The Japanese captain knew that the people who robbed the train this time were definitely not ordinary railway guerrillas. He knew that there was a soldier from the escort squadron on this train.
Given the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, if one wants to eliminate a squadron of soldiers in a short period of time, one must mobilize a regiment of troops.
After inspecting the scene, the Japanese captain immediately reported to the Taiyuan Command.
After the operator in the headquarters received a call from the railway garrison battalion, he did not notify his superiors immediately.
He thought the matter was not important and it was not appropriate to disturb the commander's sweet dream now.
It was not until the next morning that the operator informed his superior officer of the news.
After receiving the news, the Japanese officer walked towards Yoshio Kozuka's office.
"Report to the Commander, the railway garrison commander called."
"The train departing from Taiyuan last night was robbed by the enemy and the entire train was blown up."
After hearing the officer's report, Yoshio Kozuka stood up from behind his desk.
"Bagaya road!"
"Notify the Chief of Staff to come to my office immediately."
"Hi."
After the Japanese officer left, Yoshio Kozuka paced back and forth in the office, feeling very anxious.
The train last night was loaded with gold and antiques that were to be shipped back to the country. Not many people in the North China Front Army knew this news in order to prevent the news from leaking.
Now this batch of gold and antiques has been robbed. If the emperor knew about this, he would be shot directly. He must immediately arrange for someone to recover the gold and antiques, otherwise he will be held responsible.
It didn't take long.
The Japanese Chief of Staff came to Yoshio Ozuka's office.
"Commander, what do you want from me?"
Yoshio Kozuka hurriedly pulled him to the corner and whispered.
"Chief of Staff, I just received news that the train was robbed by unknown armed men last night, and they also completely blew up the train."
The chief of staff was shocked when he heard what Yoshio Kozuka said.
"Commander, was the train carrying gold and antiques robbed?"
Kozuka Yoshio nodded slightly.
The chief of staff took a deep breath and began to panic.
The gold and antiques being transported this time are very important to the empire and absolutely no problems can occur.
Now that the gold and antiques have been robbed, he and Kozuka Yoshio are both to blame, and they might even be shot by the angry emperor.
The chief of staff said anxiously: "Commander, what should we do now? We must get this batch of gold back."
"We also need to inform the North China Front Army Headquarters. They will also be punished by the headquarters for the robbery of gold. We must keep this a secret for now."
Yoshio Kozuka nodded solemnly.
"Chief of Staff, you are right. I will call Commander Tada Shun later to report this matter."
"Next, we must mobilize all our forces to search for this batch of gold. We must recover the gold within three days."
"Chief of Staff, I'm leaving the task of finding the gold to you. Please take it seriously."
"Hayi." The chief of staff replied.
...................
North China Front Headquarters, Peking.
Tada Shun was working in the office when suddenly the phone on the desk rang.
He picked up the phone and heard Yoshio Kozuka's voice.
"Commander, I have some very bad news to report to you."
"What news? Tell me."
Yoshio Kozuka on the other end of the phone took a deep breath and said.
"Commander, the gold that was shipped from Taiyuan to Peking was robbed by unknown armed forces last night. All the gold has disappeared."
When Tada Shun heard the voice coming from the phone, the pen in his hand fell on the table.
He was extremely shocked in his heart, as he knew the importance of this batch of gold better than anyone else.
"Bagaya road!"
"Yoshio Kozuka, you are such an idiot. You clearly knew that this batch of gold was so important, why didn't you arrange more troops to escort it? Now that this batch of gold is lost, I wonder how you are going to explain it to the Emperor."
"I am so unlucky to have met someone like you. You will kill me."
Tada Shun was cursing on the phone. At this moment, he could no longer suppress his anger.
Yoshio Kozuka on the other end of the phone was scolded so much that he dared not say a word.
After Tada Shun calmed down, he held the phone and said.
"Lieutenant General Kozuka Yoshio, I will keep this secret, but it cannot be kept secret for more than a week. If it is kept secret for more than a week, the Empire will know about the loss of this batch of gold."
"So I give you one week. No matter what method you use, you must get the gold back for me at any cost. Do you understand?"
"Hi."
After Yoshio Kozuka hung up the phone, he immediately issued orders to all intelligence agencies.
For a time, all the Japanese agents in the entire Shanxi region began to frantically search for gold. They began to use all means and channels to find the lost gold.
