The Eighth Route Army's ability to survive on the battlefield behind enemy lines does not rely on sophisticated and sophisticated equipment, but on a broad mass base.

In fact, the Japs have a good mass base, which is the vast number of traitor organizations. There is no shortage of traitors anywhere, and the traitors are all local squires with countless blind followers. Their sources of intelligence and information are better than those of the Eighth Route Army, which follows the mass line.

Not much different.

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army's war of resistance behind enemy lines was not that easy. The harm caused by these traitors leading the party was not much less than the direct threat from the Japanese.

Although Pingchuan has a mass base, the Eighth Route Army has been withdrawn from this place for more than half a year. It is normal for the traitor forces to rise, so they must use thunderous means to deter the swaying wallflowers.

In order to restrict the development of the Eighth Route Army and prevent them from developing forces outside the designated area, the authorities would rather this place be occupied by the Japanese and not allow the Eighth Route Army to cross the border at all costs.

This is just like the land that would rather be left abandoned, and you don't let others plant it. Therefore, the Eighth Route Army, which was once active in the Pingchuan area, had no choice but to abandon their base areas and be forced to evacuate for the sake of the overall situation of the war of resistance.

Now they have to hide here again for a period of time. It is almost impossible to guard against the ears and eyes of traitors, big and small, so they can only make them afraid and dare not report casually.

And although they jumped to the outside, other troops, such as the third battalion of the New Second Regiment and the second battalion of Qi Dajiu, were still within the enemy's sweep range.

A local snake like Lao Wang, who is almost perfect at dealing with the Japanese, can probably avoid the enemy's sweep. But Qi Dajiu, a guy like Qingling who is unfamiliar with the place, he really may not be able to avoid the enemy's sweep.

, so by making such a fuss, he also attracted the attention of the Japanese.

In short, the louder the noise and the higher the profile, the more the Japanese and traitors will be wary of it.

In fact, Zhang Yunfei's approach was indeed very effective. When the Japanese army withdrew, Maeda mobilized all the traitor organizations to collect and search for their troops this time.

A commander with a complicated mind like Ichiro Maeda is more difficult to deal with than a Japs officer who only knows how to use military operations.

In my opinion, gathering intelligence secretly is the most important thing. As long as the empire maintains its advantage on the Chinese battlefield, there will be people working for them.

These people who rely on the support of the empire to gain power and wealth have their interests tied to the empire. Letting them look for those slippery and loach-like Eight Routes is far more effective than this kind of labor-intensive raids.

After confirming the precise movements of the Eighth Route Army, and then mobilizing troops in a targeted manner to capture and kill the enemy with one blow, it is far better than the method of catching a snake in the grass and pulling a net everywhere. To hit a snake, it is most deadly to hit it within seven inches.

So while the mopping up troops were still sweeping away the enemy, Ichiro Maeda began to think about how he would clean up the mess when they returned without success.

So after the mopping up troops withdrew, he began to activate all intelligence resources, especially using some captured Eighth Route Army traitors, who had a better understanding of the Eighth Route Army's behavior and habits.

He paid more attention to those traitors than those plainclothes spies. Although there were many robbers and thieves in the plainclothes team, it was good for them to get information, but when dealing with the Eighth Route Army, which had a strict organizational structure, they were still not professional enough and a bit too amateurish.

Ichiro Maeda agrees that the best way to break a strong fortress is to break it from the inside. Even if the Eighth Route Army has such a tight organization, there will still be gaps inside.

As long as you have enough care and patience, there will be opportunities. For an army like the Eighth Route Army that is well-organized and has changeable tactics, using conventional military theories to fight against it may not have any good results. Sometimes, using those troops that have no follow-up

Traitors who are familiar with the Eighth Route Army's fighting style may have unexpected miraculous effects.

To deal with troops like the Eighth Route Army, one must be patient and careful, rather than blindly resorting to sweeping and eradication, which may seem tough, but in fact is the stupidest method.

Look at Hashimoto Kakuichi, who was reduced to a state of disgrace. On the larger battlefield, now in the entire North China region, the Eighth Route Army's counterattack was not a counterattack against the Imperial Army's intensive raids and blockade.

For troops like the Eighth Route Army, which have a small number of people, are as slippery as loaches, are good at using their own characteristics, and are very familiar with the people's conditions and terrain, it is very difficult to catch them using conventional methods, and they may even be caught by them.

Take a bite when you get the chance.

Hashimoto Kakuichi, a living negative teaching material, is standing there. He will not be stupid like him and mobilize all his troops to carry out raids. In addition to being in vain, it also makes the officers and soldiers below exhausted and weakens their own combat effectiveness.

It will also make the other party laugh at the incompetence of the imperial army.

Since it's not as obvious as it is covert, and the way of using troops is to combine surprise and rightness, knowing that a large-scale sweep will have little effect, and still hitting the south wall, then you are really stupid.

Well, he doesn't have as many troops as his neighbor. Even if he wants to organize a large-scale raid, he doesn't have the ability to do it.

Therefore, we can only collect intelligence secretly, determine the specific location of the Eighth Route Army, and then completely eliminate them in one fell swoop. This is the real way to use troops.

Having determined his own code of conduct, Ichiro Maeda began to select a group of plainclothes agents and sent them to the places where he determined that the Eighth Route Army was most likely to be hiding.

He even prepared some poison for these agents. When the imperial army was raiding, it was common practice to sprinkle poison into the village wells in order to strengthen the walls and clear the fields. They had no shortage of poison.

It would be great if the Eighth Route Army could be killed without spending a single soldier or sending out a large army. People like Ichiro Maeda do not have the spirit of Bushido.

This person is a pragmatist. As long as things can be solved, it will be convenient and trouble-free.

Ichiro Maeda compared Zhang Yunfei and others to venomous snakes, but in fact he himself is more like a venomous snake. He really spreads his fangs and silently sneaks close to his prey. Anyone caught by him will definitely not feel comfortable.

At this time, Zhang Yunfei didn't know that the Japanese Ichiro Maeda was plotting against him, but he still felt panic all over his body, and it wasn't because he had any sixth sense.

But Sister Jia's warm smile has no deep meaning and always feels a bit fake, like Grandma Wolf.

Such a smile seemed familiar to Zhang Yunfei. When their troops came to Pingchuan, they were fooled into staying by her. Now that she showed such a charming smile, she probably wanted to attract the attention of her troops again.

This made Zhang Yunfei angry and funny at the same time. This eldest sister was not particularly obsessed with military weapons. The key was that her army was not a guerrilla force of more than ten people, but a full battalion of troops.
