A camp in the south of Gaoyou City was heavily guarded, surrounded by sentry towers and barbed wire fences, and patrol teams of Japanese soldiers with wolfhounds were also patrolling frequently.
Although intelligence personnel from all parties have tried many times to sneak in here to find out what is inside this camp, they have all ended in failure.
This is the secret training camp of the Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi. Compared with the Japanese troops and puppet troops who train in the field for actual combat training, the number of people trained here is very small, only more than 200 people.
Moreover, the more than 200 people were not Japs. They were all traitors drawn from the puppet army and plainclothes teams. They received intensive training here.
It was bitingly cold, but before dawn, loud slogans could be heard in the camp. The traitors, shirtless and wearing shorts, started training under the scolding of the Japanese instructors.
"Work quickly!"
The dark-faced Japanese instructors are all cold-blooded and ruthless. If these traitors slow down even a little bit, they will be whipped with whips.
The Japanese soldiers also spared no expense in ammunition, providing a large number of bullets for these people to practice shooting, and teaching them how to use military detonators and how to assassinate.
Liu Heitan, the bandit leader who escaped from the robbery in Jieshou, is a member of this training team. They have been training here secretly for several weeks.
Although the Japs' instructors were very strict with their training, they also provided good food, and those who trained well were rewarded with ocean rewards.
They were originally traitors who surrendered to the Japanese, so they worked very hard on training. Liu Heitan performed well and became one of the squad leaders, with more than ten people under his command.
Although the weather was cold, Liu Heitan and the others exercised a lot, and even though they were shirtless, their bodies were still steaming with white steam.
"Old Liu, I heard that Taijun came over to watch our training today."
When Liu Heitan was running out of breath, a familiar squad leader came up from behind and ran side by side with him, revealing the news to him.
"Where did you get the news?" Liu Heitan looked at the team leader next to him with a suspicious look on his face.
"Hey, I just heard what the translator said. He was so stupid that he blackmailed me for a pack of cigarettes." The team leader replied cursingly.
Liu Heitan was also aroused and asked: "Is it Taijun Takahashi or who? Are you clear?"
"The translator didn't say anything. Anyway, let's perform well. If Taijun takes a fancy to us, we might even become the captain." This brother's face was full of expectation.
"That's true." Liu Heitan smiled and replied.
More than two hundred of them have been training here for so long. Although the training is hard, they are provided with good food and drink. They don't know what the purpose of the Japanese training them is, which makes them very confused.
Thinking of the Japanese coming to watch their training today, Liu Heitan felt that the answer to the mystery might be revealed today, and he was full of expectations.
After they finished their training in the morning, they ate. It was still full of steamed buns and big chunks of meat. At first, Liu Heitan and the others wolfed down the food, but now they are tired of eating it every day.
After dinner, they did not start the afternoon shooting training as scheduled, but were notified to be on standby.
After waiting for almost more than an hour, amidst the roar of motors, a long line of trucks kicked up mud and drove into the camp, and Liu Heitan and the others followed closely.
The person in charge of their camp, Captain Kameda, led a group of Japanese officers and rushed over to greet them.
Soon a group of Japanese officers wearing woolen military coats and military boots got out of the truck.
"It's a high official who's coming." Looking at the Japanese officers with arrogant expressions, someone murmured in a low voice.
"Shut up!"
Hearing someone talking in the team, the Japs instructor turned around, glared hard, and scolded.
Soon, all the Japs were led by the camp Japs leader to the high platform and looked down at Liu Heitan and the others.
"Detachment leader, the raiding team has been assembled. Please give instructions."
The person in charge of the Japanese camp, Captain Kameda, flattered the Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Juichi and said respectfully.
The Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi looked at the two hundred traitors standing neatly below and nodded with satisfaction. Indeed, they still had a somewhat tough aura.
Liu Heitan and the others have eaten well and slept well these days. Although the training has been a bit tough, their bodies have also become stronger. They stand neatly and give people a good visual effect.
"Let's get started."
The leader of the Japanese detachment, Touichi Watanabe, had trouble in his eyes. He spent a lot of manpower and material resources to train such a group of people, not just to look good, but to perform the mission.
"Hiyi!"
After Kameda, the leader of the Japanese camp, bowed heavily, he immediately turned around and announced to Liu Heitan and others that he would ask them to perform martial arts to the Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi for review.
Liu Heitan and the others had been training for so long. Although they were nervous when they saw so many Japanese high-ranking officials coming, they were more excited.
They are all opportunists who choose to be traitors because they are greedy for life and fear death, and secondly they want to enjoy glory and wealth.
Now that they saw that their master was going to review them, they naturally exerted all their strength and wanted to perform well.
Soon, Liu Heitan and the others, under the observation of a group of Japanese officers, performed a series of martial arts exercises such as shooting, fighting, bomb dropping, and raiding.
Looking at this murderous traitor team, the Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi's face was full of smiles and he kept nodding.
In the view of Touichi Watanabe, the leader of the Japanese detachment, it is not enough to simply rely on the Imperial Japanese Army to wipe out the guerrillas. We also need to use China to control China and carry out targeted strikes.
These traitor teams were specially trained by him, and his purpose was very simple, which was to let them disguise themselves as guerrilla troops, go deep into the areas controlled by the guerrillas to spy on them, and at the same time intensify the relationship between the guerrilla groups and create guerrilla forces.
The conflict between the army and the people allowed them to reap the benefits.
I have to say that the Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi is extremely insidious, because if such a group of traitors who have been trained by them really pretend to be guerrillas and go around, if the guerrillas are not on guard, they will definitely suffer big losses.
"Your training is very good, I am very satisfied."
Seeing the outstanding performance of these traitors in all aspects, the Japanese detachment leader couldn't help but praise the leader of the training camp, Captain Kameda.
Captain Kameda was also full of joy when he received the praise from the detachment leader Watanabe Juichi. After all, being praised by the commander was a kind of recognition.
"Bring the people up." The Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi said, waving to a staff officer behind him.
The Japanese staff officer understood this and quickly trotted towards the truck convoy. Immediately, a group of disheveled and ragged people were driven out of the vehicle by the Japanese soldiers and walked towards this side.
"Captain, what is this?" Kameda, the Japanese captain, was puzzled when he saw this scene.
"There is an old saying among the Chinese people: if you submit a petition, anyone who dares not kill will be executed." The face of the Japanese detachment leader became ferocious.
He was ready to send out these trained traitors, but he was not at ease, so he specially picked up a group of people from the cell and asked these traitors who were about to go out alone to kill one person in public, which would be regarded as a surrender certificate.
.
"The detachment leader is wise!" Captain Kameda, the Japanese captain, quickly understood and a cruel look flashed across his face.
