After all the puppet troops in the stronghold were eliminated, Zhang Yunfei ordered the troops to immediately clean up the battlefield, collect the enemy's supplies, monitor the movements of Li Jianfeng's troops to the east, and always pay attention to the activities of the Japs in the county.

Although the first battle went surprisingly smoothly, it was just the beginning. How the enemy reacts next will be very critical.

Because this stronghold is a little out of the way, it has a good stock of supplies, including tens of thousands of ammunition of various types, as well as a lot of grenades and other supplies. There are even several boxes of cigarettes.

Together with the hundreds of rifles and two machine guns of the disarmed puppet troops, their harvest this time was slightly beyond Zhang Yunfei's expectations.

This is mainly related to Ogawa Seiichi's consistent policy. He implemented a policy of decentralization and strengthened local forces like Li Jianfeng and Wang Zhengyi.

But at the same time, they were worried about forces such as Li Jianfeng and Wang Zhengyi. To say that they were worried might not be enough. At least at this time, the Japanese were relatively confident and not too afraid of the puppet army's rebellion.

But he is worried that local snakes like them will enrich their own pockets and deceive the superiors and subordinates to deceive themselves. This is not good for him to control the overall situation.

Therefore, Ogawa Seiichi from time to time draws in some forces outside the two traitor systems. First, he reminds Li Jianfeng and Wang Zhengyi that he is not the only one who can rely on them and can support new replacements at any time. It is best to run errands for him honestly.

Secondly, it is natural to mix sand and surveillance. These wandering forces can only rely on him. If there is any trouble within the security army, they will report it to him as if they are loyal.

Although for Ogawa Seiichi, as long as he is determined to kill Li Jianfeng and Wang Zhengyi, shuffle the traitor forces in Xincheng, and support the new traitor forces, he can still do it.

However, the newly supported forces do not necessarily have the ability and prestige of Li Jianfeng and Wang Zhengyi to manage the new city, and there is no guarantee that the other party will be loyal once they rise.

So it is better to do what we are doing now, with reminders from time to time, and sand from time to time, to balance the forces of all parties and make them work for us. We dare not be too sneaky and slippery, and do not work hard.

Ogawa Seiichi has never stopped trying to win over these small puppet forces. In terms of material supplies, he is much more generous than Li Jianfeng, without such harsh restrictions and precautions.

After all, if guys like Li Jianfeng and Wang Zhengyi rebelled, they might pose a threat to the imperial army. However, these small forces really can't make waves at all, so they are much friendlier to them, and even provide money to the Japanese.

All the cigarettes produced are allocated to these puppet soldiers.

Of course there are not many, but it is enough to give these puppet troops an occasional one every now and then. Ogawa Seiichi has a good idea, but what kind of virtue are these officers of the puppet army? How can they share the good things with the people below? Of course, all of them are

Bewildered.

It is pitiful to spread it among hundreds of people, but if it only supports a few officers, it is more than enough. The more they gather, the more they gather, and now it is all cheaper for Zhang Yunfei and others.

Naturally, Zhang Yunfei would not be ignorant of cigarettes, which could not increase combat effectiveness like the puppet army officers did, and distributed them all to the soldiers.

There are many cadres and soldiers in the army who smoke. They usually smoke cigarettes rolled with tobacco leaves and paper, or simply hold a cigarette bag in their mouth.

Tobacco leaves for cigarettes are usually the cheapest, or they are grown by farmers themselves. When tobacco leaves are not available, many people use dried leaves instead.

For the cheap goods among the little devils, when they got into their hands, they turned into high-end goods, allowing them to have a good taste of the goods. For a while, the smoke filled the air, which was quite spectacular.

Cigarettes are the best relaxing medicine in this era. When the troops gather again, the expressions of the cadres and soldiers who have gone through marching and fighting will be much more relaxed and leisurely.

Attacking Xia Nanjingkou ditch can only be regarded as a small test. Next, they will turn north and advance into the enemy's hinterland, at least to attract Li Jianfeng from the base area.

Zhang Yunfei stood on the side of the road, watching the troops passing by, and said to Qian Deming next to him: "Old Qian, this time we don't have to hide our whereabouts anymore. We have to build up the momentum. We must pull Li Jianfeng from the east in the shortest possible time."

The mountainous base areas will be transferred out to minimize the losses in the mountainous areas."

At this time, Qian Deming had a cigarette butt in his mouth, which was completely inconsistent with his previous serious image. When the butt of the cigarette was burned, he took out another one, held the butt and lit it.

He took a deep breath, with a look of enjoyment on his face. One look at this guy's appearance, and he knew that he was an old smoker. It seemed that he was very depressed when he came to work in the New Ninth Regiment.

The New Ninth Regiment was in the area of ​​the Fourth World War, and materials were still relatively scarce. Even ordinary tobacco leaves were difficult to obtain. As a political cadre, he naturally had to set an example and would not go out of his way to obtain tobacco leaves. Most of the time, he had to hold back.

.

Regarding his behavior, Zhang Yunfei said funnyly: "You are smoking one cigarette after another and you are not fussing. You should smoke less. I think you should quit smoking."

Zhang Yunfei doesn't smoke. He used to smoke for a while as a tool to relieve stress, but after getting used to the intense war, he gradually stopped smoking.

The cigarettes in this era are too strong, especially since there are no channels to obtain them. Most of the time, the cigarettes can only be wrapped in paper. Not only are they strong, but they also smell like paper. Anyway, Zhang Yunfei thinks it's weird, and it's a bit different from what he understands as cigarettes.

, so he quit smoking.

"I'm used to it, I can't quit it." Qian Deming smiled faintly and stood on the roadside with Zhang Yunfei, watching the troops marching.

After watching for a long time, when the team passed by, they also started to follow the team. At this time, Qian Deming said: "Captain, how are the Japanese and puppet troops in New City now?"

Zhang Yunfei shook his head and said: "It's not clear yet. According to the general situation, they should have already set off to pounce on us. I just hope that Lao Ren and the others can move quickly. At least we can make some noise before contacting the Japanese who are coming to help.

The Japanese had to come back for reinforcements."

With this condition, the intelligence transmission efficiency is too slow, and now they can only act according to the plan. Although they are heading north now, they will not be stupid enough to encounter the Japanese reinforcements coming for reinforcements.

The troops will deliberately avoid them on their marching route, but as long as they go north, they will get closer and closer to the Japanese no matter what.

Moreover, they will act in a high-profile manner next. As long as they show up, the devils may pounce on their location at any time.

He wanted to attract Li Jianfeng, but he didn't want to attract the Japanese too. This nature was different.

Once the Japanese come over, not to mention Li Jianfeng, Wang Zhengyi will probably be dispatched.
