The result was far beyond the expectations of the Vanguard.

More than 300 people were willing to stay and join the Eighth Route Army. Those who decided to leave were basically homes nearby and relatives at home.

"You all decided to join the Eighth Route Army?" The cautious army of the Invincible decided to ask again.

"Associate the Eighth Route Army and fight the Japanese, this is our only way to survive!" It was obvious that a prisoner who took the lead stood up and affirmed.

Then he explained: "Sir, you don't know. We had more than 300 people. After being caught here by the Japanese, we started to work as a hard worker, more than 100 people died in less than half a year. The remaining more than 200 people were all strong, but no one could guarantee how long they could live under the torture of the Japanese."

"You were right just now. Instead of being a hardworking for the Japanese and being tortured to death by the Japanese, it would be better to join the Eighth Route Army and beat him up and die on the battlefield!"

From the other party's conversation, the army affirmed that this person's identity was definitely not an ordinary soldier. After hesitating, he asked: "Are you? Why were you captured by the Japanese?"

"Report to the commander, I am a company commander of the Northwest Army. On the battlefield, the commander ran away, the bullets were fired, the food was eaten, and the Japanese released poison gas again. In the end, they were captured by the Japanese because they really had no strength."

"There are only more than 300 people left in the regiment, and the officers died and the cannons ran away, and I was the only company commander left!"

"Good brothers! On behalf of the Eighth Route Army, I welcome you!" Rongjun gave everyone a positive answer without thinking.

As for my heart, I had already been happy.

He knew that he had picked up the treasure.

Let’s not talk about whether the company commander in front of him has the ability to live and die together with his subordinates on the battlefield and fight to the death, he is a hero.

As for the more than 200 people behind him who survived the bloody battle with the Japanese, they were all veterans. As long as they were given weapons and allowed to rest well, they would be able to go to the battlefield immediately.

The chief of staff at the command center of the Japanese military brigade in Linfen City hesitated for several days and decided to report the military information that would be attacked in large quantities in the past few days, but could not find the shadow of the Eighth Route Army to Major General Matsumoto.

Because those who were attacked were maintained, no imperial army died, and even a puppet army was not dead, the Chief of Staff hesitated and did not report.

But just now, after the report of more than 300 prisoners being robbed and killed by the Eighth Route Army was delivered to his hands, the Chief of Staff finally couldn't help it.

The more than 300 prisoners were all Northwest Army soldiers. If they were allowed to get together with the remaining soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and get the weapons again, it would definitely be a big threat to the Imperial Army.

After listening to the report, Matsumoto's face suddenly became gloomy.

Staring into the Chief of Staff’s eyes as if it could spit out fire, he was very angry.

After five seconds, he asked calmly: "Is there any news that the blockade line was attacked by the Eighth Route Army?"

"No!" The Chief of Staff knew that the brigade commander was making decisions about his unauthorized decisions and did not report the news that he would be attacked in time. Facing the questioning, he did not dare to neglect the slightest and answered immediately.

"Why did these Tujiao Route Army run out of the mountain without being attacked!"

"The garrisons on the blockade line are not reported. Their blockade line is seamless, and it is impossible for a fly to fly over? Then where did these Eighth Route Army come from!"

The Chief of Staff shook his head and replied: "I don't know anything about it. At that time, I specifically sent a telegram to the garrison on the blockade line. One stronghold and one stronghold asked, "No stronghold was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and I had not even seen the shadow of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Idiots, they are all a group of stupid pigs. The Eighth Route Army has come out, and they actually told me that I didn't see anything, Bageya Road!" Major General Matsumoto was not polite at all and cursed directly.

At this time, the Chief of Staff had no other way except to lower his head to bear it.

Matsumoto seemed to have thought of something: "Can you be sure how many Eighth Route Army people are there to attack us to maintain the meeting?"

"Yes!" The Chief of Staff finally gave a certain answer.

"There are three Eighth Route Army troops in total, and each Eighth Route Army is in the size of a dozen to twenty people!"

Matsumoto's brow frowned: "There are only more than fifty people in total, which does not match the number of people in the remnants of the New Orlean Group we know about!"

"Before our bombing, the Eighth Route Army must have encouraged a large number of prisoners to join them. After the bombing, they wanted to break through our blockade line, but were defeated by us. At that time, the New Orleans mobilized at least two hundred people!"

The Chief of Staff immediately reacted: "In other words, the main force of the remnants of the New First Regiment is still in the mountains. They plan to use the old method to send some troops out of the mountains and fight guerrillas with us outside the mountains. Some of them stay in the mountains and build new camps!"

"However, this time we will definitely not be fooled again, they will lead the nose!"

Major General Matsumoto's frown slowly unfolded, and after thinking for a while, he began to give orders.

"Remember an order just issued by the Front Army Command, which requires us to use the Iron Blood Cage Policy to deal with the Eighth Route Army!"

"Although our current policies to deal with the Eighth Route Army have many similarities with the command orders, they are not iron-blooded enough!"

"I ordered the garrisons on the blockade line to strengthen patrols. I can't rest assured if I have a bunker. I don't want to see an Eighth Route Army passing through their blockade line, whether it's entering or leaving the mountains!"

"The Chief of Staff, in accordance with the command, recruit the people and prisoners from the city together, widen all roads in Linfen, and ensure that the cars and motorcycles equipped by the Imperial Army can quickly move to every village!"

"Didn't the Eighth Route Army that attacked the Maintenance Association disappear every time they were done? They must have walked the path. Therefore, we must strengthen the mobility of the reinforcements and stick to them before they retreat."

"So, I will apply to my superiors for a car transportation squadron to strengthen it to all large strongholds and county towns, and ensure that each large stronghold has a strengthening team to achieve mechanization and arrive at all villages in the jurisdiction within half an hour!"

The Chief of Staff's eyes lit up and immediately complimented: "General wise!"

"With a car, the road that could only be completed in an hour can be reached in ten minutes. In this case, Tujia Road will not have time to attack and maintain it and then retreat smoothly!"

"There is another benefit!" A mysterious smile suddenly flashed across Major General Matsumoto's face.

"With cars and motorcycles, we can also patrol the road 24 hours a day and completely control all roads in Linfen."

"When controlling the highways is equivalent to dividing Linfen into small areas. Even if there are Eighth Route Army activities in these areas, we can divide them, not contact each other, and then break them one by one!"

"Good solution!" the chief of staff sighed sincerely.
Chapter completed!
