Although Zhang Yunfei said he wanted to proactively respond to the Japs' raid, there was not much he could do. Tiedan's reconnaissance team could only detect the Japs' military dynamics and serve as an early warning.

The specific information about the Japanese raids was also darkened.

Now there is only vague information from superiors that two groups of Japanese soldiers are raiding in their direction. The Eighth Route Army's ability to collect local intelligence is even worse.

Those who join the Eighth Route Army are usually farmers from remote areas. Their identities are too simple. Many of them have never left the village within a radius of ten miles in their lives.

The circle in which they live has no contact with the circle of the Japanese and puppet troops. Let alone spying on the intelligence of the Japanese and puppet troops, they will be driven away if they are far away from the enemy.

As for educated Eighth Route Army cadres, that's even less so. They are either outsiders or celebrities, such as Sister Jia. Who from all over the country doesn't know that she is an Eighth Route Army member? Even a character like Zhu Merchant,

They are all famous and have no boundaries, and it is even more impossible to become a spy.

The Eighth Route Army lacked local spies to spy on intelligence, so its defense against Japanese raids relied entirely on sentries and vigilance.

Therefore, they often rely on Zhang Qingdong, an insider, to reveal the source of intelligence about Japanese traitors.

However, Zhang Qingdong, who had no soldiers and no power, was elected as a troublemaker by a local rich man, so the information he could find out was also limited.

When they were fighting against the Japanese and puppet troops, their main source of intelligence could only rely on surveillance. Now they could only rely on this kind of intelligence with lots of words like maybe, probably, maybe, etc. as the basis for their operations.

Now Zhang Yunfei is personally confirming a piece of information from Zhang Qingdong. It is said that a group of Japs has entered the county. Now the county is under martial law. It is said that the Japs are preparing to carry out a raid.

The only thing that was certain about this information was that a group of Japs came, and the number was still unknown. As for the others, they had to investigate again.

"Can the little devil really know how to send troops?" Tiedan who was following Zhang Yunfei asked.

Holding a telescope to observe the county town at the end of the road, when he heard Tiedan ask, Zhang Yunfei put down the telescope in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the little devils will definitely carry out a sweep."

"Didn't you say that these little devils are targeting the Independent Regiment and Xinqing Detachment? Wouldn't they take a short break and go directly to Xincheng?" Tiedan asked.

"Yes, you kid has learned to think. Let me ask you, if you were beaten by someone, would you beat the other person yourself to vent your anger, or would you let someone else beat the other person for you?"

"Of course it's nice to have others help beat you."

Zhang Yunfei: "..."

This kid was really disrespectful. Zhang Yunfei glared at him and said, "I'm not a coward like you. You're very proud. If you get beaten, you'll need to take revenge yourself."

"Hey, that's not right. According to you, the Japs in Pingchuan were also beaten by us. Why didn't he take revenge himself? Instead, he looked for foreign aid."

"You're so damn arrogant, aren't you?" Zhang Yunfei glared at him and said, "Think about it with your pig brain. If the Japs in Pingchuan wanted to take revenge themselves, they would have started their revenge long ago. They wouldn't have waited until now and nothing happened. Besides,

The little devil in Pingchuan is not really so big that he doesn’t care if we beat him, so of course it’s just like you thought, and we’ll invite more people together.”

This probably refers to the burden of fame. The Ushijima Division is a permanent division. If someone beats them, they will not let ad hoc divisions like the Yamaoka Division and Taniguchi Division help them recover. They cannot afford to lose this

race people.

The dancer troupe is a security troupe, so it's not too shameful in terms of face to find foreign aid.

Depending on the position under the buttocks, the commander will naturally make different choices.

"Detachment leader, if it's true as you said, the Japanese will definitely come back, but we don't know how many Japanese will come. We don't have any idea right now. What if too many come all at once?

We still have a chance to give him a guy, so we don't have to surrender to the Japanese all by then."

"I think what you gossip all day long seems to be true. Your mind must be spinning very fast. Now you are losing your mind. It's already embarrassing enough to ask for help. How can you bring in a bunch of people again?"

"Why is that? Isn't it better to send more people?" Tiedan said a little puzzled. One of the Eighth Route Army's combat principles is that the more people the better.

"You, you have really lost all your intelligence." The only thing that separated the fortune teller from Zhuge Liang was the practical application of psychological tactics.

Many fortune tellers are absolute masters of psychological warfare and can manipulate many smart people into applause. However, if they want to apply their psychological warfare to war, they will be completely useless.

The same is true for Tiedan. Let him make up lies to deceive people, sneak around, and trick people around. To put it bluntly, this is also the use of psychological tactics.

But when he was asked to analyze the psychology of battlefield commanders, he was immediately confused and did not know how to analyze it at all.

In fact, this kind of thing is easy to analyze. It is like being bullied by a primary school student. You can't shout too much, otherwise it will be more embarrassing.

According to the Japanese intelligence, they only have about one company of troops, so it is impossible for the garrison commander Hirakawa to ask others to take action and say: "This group of Eighth Route Army soldiers is very powerful. You'd better use more than a brigade to encircle and suppress them."

If you say this, you will definitely be looked down upon by others, considered as a sign of incompetence by the other party, and completely frightened by the Eighth Route Army.

After all, in the comparison of the combat power of the Japanese, a company of the Eighth Route Army is at most the level of a strengthened squad, but you ask for the assistance of a large group of troops as soon as you come up. How cowardly do you think that is?

Therefore, Captain Pingchuan will not emphasize too much how strong their combat power is. At most, he will objectively list their intelligence. As for what the other party considers and how many troops they send, Captain Pingchuan, as an outsider, will naturally not question the opponent.

The use of troops.

They are here to help, but if you are still talking behind your back and pointing fingers, that would be too annoying. Besides, Ichiro Maeda doesn’t think Zhang Yunfei’s troops are very powerful, he just thinks they are too good at taking advantage of loopholes and taking advantage of the location.

Only when you have an advantage can you achieve jaw-dropping results.

This is the human behavior pattern. Even if the Japanese originally wanted to send a brigade to clean up, they would not do it for the sake of face. In the end, it would just become: There are only a few people on the road, and I only need a few people to kill them.

Naturally, this person cannot be at the brigade level or above, otherwise it would not be boasting, but coercion.

Therefore, it is not difficult to analyze that this time the Japs will not use more troops to mop up them than last time. Perhaps out of a comparison mentality, the mopping up troops sent by the Japs commander may be smaller than the last time.
