People like Takamura Shinsuke are very arrogant and look down on the security forces from the bottom of their hearts. In his opinion, it is their honor and a gift for them to die for the imperial army.

Takamura Shinsuke was very arrogant, but arrogance did not mean arrogance. Their troops were mopping up toward Xiling. As a small group of Eighth Route Army troops appeared near the mopping up troops, Takamura Shinsuke expanded the range of the puppet army's vanguard sentries.

Captain Qingshui attached great importance to the Eighth Route Army's suppression of the mountainous area in the southern part of Xincheng, and the intensity of the campaign was very strong, mobilizing almost all the power that Xincheng could mobilize.

In fact, the force they attacked this time was not theirs. There was another detachment led by Second Lieutenant Yoshio Nagano, who brought a small group of Imperial Army warriors into the mountainous area in advance.

They have dealt with this group of Eighth Route Army a lot, and they have also figured out the behavior pattern of this group of Eighth Route Army. Once the imperial army launches an encirclement and suppression campaign, they will organize the people to evacuate. Only the people in the Eighth Route Army control area are safe, then the foundation of the Eighth Route Army is there, and they can be obtained at any time

Replenishment of troops and supplies.

The target of large force operations is too large, and it is difficult to intercept such fleeing and evacuated people. However, some capable covert action teams can track these fleeing people, and the armed forces of the Eighth Route Army to protect these people are generally not too strong.

A team of ten people is more than enough to deal with it.

The Eighth Route Army likes guerrilla warfare, and their imperial army also has great experience in guerrilla warfare. The plainclothes teams play a huge role in operating in front of the main army.

They alerted the snake, and then the team could track the scurrying snake and catch it easily. Komura Shinsuke was very satisfied with the plan he made.

Every time the Imperial Army encircled and suppressed the Eighth Route Army, they failed. The main reason was that the Eighth Route Army was too good at hiding. In fact, the Eighth Route Army's hiding also had shortcomings.

They are usually dispersed and hidden. Once they are dispersed, it actually means the dispersion of power. The Eighth Route Army often besieges the imperial army with superior strength. This is the reason why the imperial army often suffers losses. Once dispersed, although the concealment is high, it will not

It doesn't have much fighting power anymore.

Just like the Eighth Route Army following him now, they have too few troops. As long as he strengthens his vigilance, they can only shoot black guns from a distance. Although Shinsuke Takamura is a little disappointed that the guard post is no longer close to them. He once thought they had discovered

His plan.

But then he waved away this disappointment. He had no intention of really destroying this harassing force, so why bother himself? It would be a surprise if he could eliminate the enemy.

Zhang Yunfei didn't really discover the Japanese's arrangement, but nothing can be done in two ways. Although he didn't know what kind of harassment the other side had to counter their harassment, it was inevitable that there was an arrangement.

This is not the main reason why Zhang Yunfei and others no longer approach and shoot the Japanese and puppet army sentries. The main reason is that they cannot afford such a harassing war.

Yes, it cannot afford to fight. The Eighth Route Army's operational philosophy is to strengthen itself, destroy the enemy, and preserve itself. The order of these three points cannot be reversed.

Preserving oneself ranks third, which means that the Eighth Route Army is not afraid of sacrifice, but it depends on whether the sacrifice is valuable. As long as the first two points can be achieved, this kind of sacrifice is valuable.

To strengthen oneself, one must have someone with a gun to develop sustainably. It is undesirable to exhaust one's own development potential in order to destroy the enemy, and is generally considered a failed battle.

The Eighth Route Army's standard for measuring the success or failure of a battle is whether there is a surplus in consumption and capture. Their behavior of only consuming but not capturing is considered a complete waste of money. After a few more attempts, all the money will be lost.

Once they get close to the enemy post, there will inevitably be a fierce exchange of fire. They simply cannot afford that kind of combat mode, so naturally they will no longer use it. Now they can only do the work of ordinary Eighth Route Army guerrillas, firing from a distance to lure the opponent.

Chase them.

But these Japs were so calm that they stopped chasing them, probably because they were frightened by their ambush.

This group of Japanese and puppet troops have been hiding in their turtle shells, which makes Zhang Yunfei very helpless. Now his harassment has become meaningless.

After the little devil received such a slap from him, he actually didn't make any movement, and seemed to be afraid of himself. This was undoubtedly a bit beyond Zhang Yunfei's expectation. Is he still a devil?

It is nonsense to say that the Japanese have the spirit of Bushido, but it is true to say that they are martial arts, but now they have been unable to retreat, which is seriously inconsistent with their character.

"Squadron Captain, I always feel like something is wrong." Cui Liangfang found Zhang Yunfei and said with some concern.

"Oh, tell me." Zhang Yunfei was also doubting the behavior of the Japanese. As the saying goes, the unknown is the scariest thing. The behavior of the Japanese was beyond his expectation, which made him more and more anxious. He always felt that something was going to happen.

matter.

Zhang Yunfei still cares about Cui Liangfang's opinions. As a commander, Cui Liangfang can only be considered qualified if he speaks the truth.

In Zhang Yunfei's view, everyone has areas of expertise. As a commander, one should let his subordinates develop their specialties. Cui Liangfang's specialty is not in command, but in his thorough thinking, which means that he is actually a

Consultant talents.

It's a pity that their squadron doesn't have a staff position, let alone their squadron, they don't even have a detachment, so he can only be forced to lead the troops.

"The Japs' actions are very abnormal. They are not so eager for us to delay their actions. This is actually very unreasonable."

Regarding his statement, Zhang Yunfei agreed. Everyone is curious. For example, one person desperately blocks another person's path and prevents him from passing.

The normal behavior is that the more you don't let me pass, the more I insist on passing. I didn't want to pass, but now I want to pass. The more aggressive and eager you are to stop me, the more I want to pass.

But now the Japanese are not acting so eagerly, which is illogical. Their intention to stop him is very obvious. The so-called soldiers are very fast. Every minute they delay, the main force of the Eighth Route Army and the people will have one more minute.

evacuation time.

What is their mission? It's a raid. What does it look like now? It's a bit like an outing. Zhang Yunfei didn't think about it at first. Although he had doubts, he just thought it was because he was scared by the attacks and harassment by himself and others, so he became cautious.

Get up, now after Cui Liangfang's reminder, I know what's wrong with it.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Yunfei was still a little unsure of his thoughts and judgment.

"Are they suspects?" Cui Liangfang also said a little unsure.

"This is almost the entire New City's military strength. Are they being used as suspects?" Zhang Yunfei asked rhetorically.

"Didn't you say that there are many troops in Xincheng now? That means that the Japs are not the only ones who have entered the mountains. Moreover, you often told us that the Japs like to divide their forces and attack on the side. Maybe they also have a side attack unit."
