Chapter 1577 Armed Division
The old herbalist looked in the direction of the horse's hooves and saw a cavalry.
After a while, he recognized several familiar faces from the horse team. They were the horse caravans that often transported goods in this area.
The old herbalist was just about to slide under the tree to say hello to his acquaintances from the caravan.
At this time, he suddenly discovered that the caravan members took out some guns and ammunition from the cargo on their horses and handed them to the people who were waiting for them on the hill.
The people on the hill also gave them a big bag that looked like a bag filled with dollars.
The old herbalist was so frightened that he hugged the tree tightly, not daring to breathe.
After the people on the hill and the caravan left, the old herbalist quickly slipped down from the tree and ran to Xinjing to report to a patrol team.
When the patrol team's squad leader heard this, he felt that the problem was serious and immediately took the old herbal farmer to their battalion headquarters to find the battalion commander.
When the battalion commander heard this, he took it very seriously and immediately arranged for a platoon of soldiers to accompany the old herbal farmer to the hill to check the situation.
Another platoon of soldiers was arranged to chase the caravan that had already left.
Arriving at the hill, the platoon leader found no useful clues and could only confirm that forty or fifty people had been there.
Soon, the platoon chasing the caravan made progress.
They caught up with the Maban transport team and took them back to the camp headquarters.
After interrogation, the leader of the caravan admitted that they had transported weapons and ammunition to people, but he did not know who these people were.
The person who helped them connect was a local thug in Xinjing, who left after receiving a bribe.
The battalion commander also received information that there were 45 people who received this batch of weapons and ammunition.
The most urgent task now is to find out who these people are and what they want to do with these weapons and ammunition?
An important person in solving these mysteries is the gangster who left immediately after taking the bribe.
The battalion commander arranged a company of soldiers, divided into squads, led by the caravan to search the village where the ruffian lived and the places where he often moved around.
Soon, a search party found the ruffian in a tavern, but he was already drunk and unconscious.
The battalion commander ordered the soldiers to fetch some cold water and then poured it on the thugs.
The gangster snored, opened his eyes and mumbled a few words, then closed his eyes and began to snore.
The battalion commander was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
If this group of militants came to attack some important facilities or camp headquarters in Xinjing, then there would be big trouble.
The battalion commander had no choice but to interrogate the members of the caravan transport team again, but there was still no progress.
The caravan members had no idea who these people were, where they were going with the weapons, or what they were going to do with them.
The battalion commander was at his wit's end and could only report the problem.
Soon, Leng Feng also learned about this matter.
These armed elements must be Japanese and puppet spies. If they were anti-Japanese forces, they could have entered Xinjing openly carrying weapons.
Considering the recent attack on Majiagou Airport in Harbin, Leng Feng immediately thought that these militants might be planning to attack Xinjing Airport. However, Xinjing Airport was heavily guarded, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach the airport, let alone armed militants.
How did these 45 militants sneak into the Xinjing Airport?
Leng Feng also felt that their target of attack was not Xinjing Airport.
Could it be the Xinjing Power Plant or a government department?
Leng Feng had no way of guessing the target of the anti-Japanese armed forces' sneak attack, so he had to order Wang Zhuangfei to strengthen the defense of important departments.
