Beizhuang is a large village south of Zhangzhuang Town, with a population of thousands of people. A total of 4,000 acres of land were planted in front of and behind the village.

If all the harvest is good, these 4,000 mu of fertile land can harvest at least 800,000 kilograms of millet.

It can not only meet the food rations for the whole village in the next year, but also pay at least 150,000 kilograms of grain tax.

If the 4,000 acres of millet can be burned in a fire, the 800,000 kilograms of grain will be turned into ashes. The National Salvation Army will not only not receive a grain tax on a grain, but also have to pay at least 300,000 kilograms of grain to prevent the people from hungry.

A Japanese Operation Team that entered the National Salvation Military Defense Zone set its sights on this place at first sight.

After crossing the blockade line, they did not act rashly.

More than 4,000 acres of land cannot be burned at once, and the village is surrounded by unobstructed fertile land, so there is no way to hide. The operation team must determine the retreat route and hiding point after setting fire in advance, otherwise the operation team may be captured by the National Rescue Army in one operation, and then besieged by their heavy troops, and then destroyed by the entire army.

So on the first night they arrived in Beizhuang, they did not act rashly, but instead wore the uniform of the National Saving Army, familiarized themselves with the surrounding terrain as the National Saving Army scout, and waited until it was dark tomorrow.

At the base of the first battalion in Zhangzhuang Town, just dawn, the wake-up call rang inside the base, with a long and harsh sound.

In less than ten minutes, the 1st Battalion 23rd Company, the firepower company, the guard platoon, the reconnaissance platoon, the baggage platoon... More than 600 soldiers gathered at the training ground in squad platoons.

This is a routine morning training for the first battalion every day. Under normal circumstances, the battalion commander Dong Fei started after saying a few words in front of everyone.

Today seems a little different. Although the battalion commander appeared in front of everyone in full armed manner as before, there were more than a dozen strange faces behind him.

Dong Fei's opening remark was very direct, and he spoke out the task.

"Comrades, we have trained for a thousand days to sharpen our swords, and we have seen the skills of our troops. We have been training for so long, and today we have finally received the task from the regiment headquarters."

"The cooking team has prepared breakfast and dry food for everyone during the marching at noon. I will give you half an hour to eat, get dry food, replenish weapons and ammunition. In half an hour, the whole battalion gathers here to carry out the mission..."

In the valley one kilometer south of Beizhuang, a total of seventeen Japanese and puppet troops were all hiding here.

Although they pretended to be the National Salvation Army, in order to reduce the chance of exposure, they should try not to contact the outside world if they can not contact each other.

The Japanese found this valley overnight and immediately decided to use it as the hiding point for the operation team in the next few days.

Most of the Japanese and puppet troops huddled in the ravine to sleep to supplement their energy for their operations tonight. Three Japanese soldiers in national rescue uniforms wandered and guarded at the entrance of the ravine? If a real national rescue army found this place, they could also deal with it a little.

The team leader woke up after sleeping for three or four hours, and then squatted on the ground to study the map hand-drawn by his subordinates last night? It clearly marked the specific location of the 4,000 acres of fertile land in Beizhuang.

Want to complete the task smoothly? You must keep everything on the map in mind.

"Sir, how do we act tonight?" A chief Cao under his command suddenly came over and asked.

The team leader replied very seriously: "Tonight is our first action since entering the National Salvation Military Defense Zone? We must be cautious."

"I decided to divide the troops into two groups. Do you take five people to the south of the village to set fire? I will take the rest of the people to set fire to the north."

"Before setting the fire, remember to lay out a few boogies on the ridge of the field? Let the Chinese who came to put out the fire detonate the boogies? Create chaos."

"The sniper team and machine gun team are on standby near the door, and we are ready to provide fire cover."

"We start the action on time at 1:00 a.m., and we must retreat after an hour of action,!"

Just then? A patrol soldier suddenly ran over from the entrance and exit of the ravine: "Sir? There is a team of national rescue troops outside coming here!"

Before the captain could speak, Chief Cao had become worried: "Captain, have we been exposed?"

The patrolman who ran over to report shook his head: "It shouldn't be!"

"This National Salvation Army has only two squads, equipped with two light machine guns, but everyone carried the guns on their backs? There was no warning, and it should be just a normal march through here."

The team leader did not make a decision because of the report of his subordinates? It is better to see it at first sight than to hear it. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you make accurate judgments and climb up to the high ground next to the ravine. He must see the real situation of these soldiers in the country-savior army with his own eyes to be at ease.

Chief Cao also followed, and only glanced at the National Salvation Army walking towards this side and relaxed: "Captain, this National Salvation Army is indeed not vigilant. Not only is it carried on the rifle on its back, but the machine gun is also carried on its shoulders."

"If you come to deal with us, you will definitely appear in battle."

The captain nodded in agreement: "All the Imperial Army of the Operation Team are on standby. But they must be prepared for combat, load the bullets to prevent accidents."

"The two stewards went out to meet them, and they said that we were the troops of the 10th Company of the Fourth Battalion. We were ordered to come from Donghui Town to train here and go back tomorrow."

The two national-savior troops pretended to be posing as puppet troops met with the national-savior troops who were marching over a hundred meters outside the ravine.

The National Salvation Army led the platoon leader of the first battalion, second company, and platoon leader of the first battalion, and just glanced at the military caps on the heads of the two puppet troops, you would know that they were enemies but not friends.

But in order to achieve the greatest results with the minimum cost, the platoon leader did not immediately expose them. He saluted a military salute first and then introduced himself: "I am the platoon leader of the 2nd Company of the National Salvation Army. In the morning, I heard from the villagers in the village that there were troops active here all the time, and the troops of the 2nd Battalion were all at the garrison. In order to prevent accidents, the battalion commander specially arranged for me to bring two squads to see. I don't know if you are..."

"Hello, sir!" The two puppet troops quickly saluted: "We are the troops of the Fourth Battalion's First Company. We were ordered to come to the east to go back to the town for training. This is the focus of our training in the wild. Let's rest here today and go back tomorrow morning."

"Fourth Battalion?" The platoon leader frowned and pretended to be confused. "I heard from the battalion commander that the Fourth Battalion is a newly formed army of the regiment headquarters. I didn't expect you to start training in the field so quickly. This progress is amazing. Can you let me see your troops and learn it?"

"And the Fourth Battalion will be stationed in Donghui Town in the future and become the neighbor of the First Battalion. There will definitely be places where both sides cooperate with each other in the future. If you don't get familiar with each other now, you will definitely be a stranger when the two sides meet again, that would be too embarrassed."

The row of long men smiled throughout the whole process of speaking, and looked no malice.

Moreover, the request he made was not excessive. If he refused rashly, it would cause suspicion. However, the two of them were just leading the way for the Japanese and had no right in the operation team and could not decide such a big deal.

After looking at each other, one of the puppet troops stood up: "Sir, I need to ask the platoon leader for this matter!"

"Yes..." The platoon leader did not make things difficult for the two puppet troops and answered readily: "I'm waiting for news here. In order for the two troops to cooperate higher in the future, your platoon leader will definitely agree to meet me."

The last sentence of the platoon leader was a little bit of excitement.

Link the next meeting between the two people with the cooperation between the two battalions in the future. If the other party is really a member of the National Salvation Army, he will definitely want to see the two battalions cooperate well in the future, and then take the initiative to stand up and meet with himself.

The other party's true identity is a Japanese. In order to persist in the National Rescue Military Defense Zone for a longer period of time, they definitely do not want to arouse the suspicion of the National Rescue Military from the beginning. In the face of aggressive generals, they must stand up and meet themselves.

The Japanese and puppet troops have limited military strength and their strength advantage lies with their own side. If the two troops stand together face to face and the two squads he brought suddenly launch an attack, the unprepared Japanese will definitely suffer heavy casualties. If they are too lucky, it is possible that they will be killed by a round of firepower volleys.

The platoon leader thought of all the Japanese squad leader. In order not to arouse suspicion of the National Salvation Army, the squad leader was very worried, but he still agreed to the National Salvation Army's request for a meeting.

Two minutes later, the three Japanese pretended to be the National Savior Army first came out of the ravine, followed by the machine gun team and the grenade launcher team. The Japanese team leader and several other riflemen walked to the end. When they came out, they lined up in two rows outside the ravine, waiting for the National Savior Army to come and meet.

In order to show his kindness, the little ghost equipped with all the rifles were carried on their backs, light machine guns, grenade launchers, and they were also carried on their shoulders, and it was impossible to tell that they were ready for battle.

The platoon leader smiled when he saw it.

The Japanese waryness was seen by him, but he was not worried at all.

Even if all the piercing machine guns in the Japanese hand were loaded, it would take two seconds to shoot at the opponent. It seemed that the time was short, but it was enough for the platoon leader.

Although he only brought two infantry squads, they were equipped with two light machine guns, a twenty-shot Mauser pistol, and two turtle boxes.

As long as the National Salvation Army takes the initiative and raids the opponent with the most powerful firepower, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers will not be able to see enough. At most, they will be killed completely by holding the well-loaded rifle in their hands.

When the Japanese were not paying attention, they made a gesture to the two squad leaders behind them to prepare for action, and then led everyone to the Japanese.

The Japanese squad leader kept staring at the platoon leader to prevent any abnormal movements.

When the two teams were still thirty meters apart, the platoon leader raised his hand and the soldiers of the two squads began to disperse, lined up in front and back rows like the Japanese.

The Japanese were very nervous during the whole process and kept staring at the National Salvation Army. However, in order not to arouse their suspicion, as long as the other party still carried the gun on his back, he would not order the troops to get the gun.

The platoon leader also stared at the Japanese squad leader. After confirming that the soldiers behind him were ready, he decisively pulled out the Mauser pistol that had been loaded with bullets.

The soldiers who received the signal also began to draw their guns and get their guns...

The Japanese captain's face suddenly turned pale. He realized that he had been exposed. While drawing his gun, he ordered his subordinates to shoot at the other party.
Chapter completed!
