The night was as dark as ink, and the cold wind was as cold as a knife. Under the cover of night, a troop of about 160 people was marching southward, heading straight for Yangjiagou.
The infantry company led by company commander Sun Liang swaggered away from Yangjiagou during the day to confuse the enemies hiding in the dark. After dark, they changed from the front team to the rear team and quickly rushed back along the way they came.
After going back and forth for dozens of miles, the brothers went through the training of the leader, but they also had blisters on the soles of their feet and were out of breath from exhaustion.
But when they thought of the blame they had shouldered and the grievances they had endured in the past two days, they became angry and wished they could rush back now to kill all the enemies who had been killed by God. Although they were tired, the brothers gritted their teeth and
No one called out.
The troops rushed all the way with murderous intent, and in the middle of the night they returned to the outskirts of Yangjiagou.
Sun Liang took his brothers to the leeward of a hill covered with grass and hid there, which was still several miles away from Yangjiagou.
The reason why they hid their troops so far away was because they were worried about being exposed if they got too close to the village, because there were dogs in the village. Once the dogs started barking, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
"Your investigation teams will closely monitor intersections and bridges. Once you discover something, report it immediately. Remember, don't expose yourself."
After Sun Liang and his company hid, he immediately summoned the brothers of the investigation team and assigned them tasks.
Previously, they were in the light while the enemy was in the dark, so they were always in a passive position, but this time they were in the dark, waiting for the enemy to show up.
After receiving the order, the brothers of several investigation teams left the hiding place as quietly as ghosts and headed straight for intersections and bridges everywhere.
These bridges and intersections are the only way for the Yang family to communicate with the outside world. Once the hidden enemies have any trouble, they will be able to follow the clues to find the enemy's hiding place as soon as possible, and then completely annihilate them.
When Sun Liang and the others rushed back to Yangjiagou overnight to hide, the other four infantry companies, like Sun Liang and the others, pretended to be driven away by the local people during the day, and then silenced them again at night.
He sneaked back and waited in secret.
In fact, when the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps entered this area, Liu Heitan, the traitor who had infiltrated, hid with his people and sent people to observe as per the instructions.
They came here this time to carry out the harassment plan of detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi. The purpose was to create conflicts between the local people and the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, and to make the people hate the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps.
The failure of the Japs' last attack was due to the unity of the Northern Jiangsu Corps and the local people. When the Japs came, they became blind and were eventually defeated.
And now the Japs detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi wants to disintegrate the relationship between the Northern Jiangsu Corps and the local people, isolate the Northern Jiangsu Corps, and then they will send people over to gradually encroach on the territory of the Guerrilla Corps.
It has to be said that the Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi's calculations were very precise. Now the local people hate the guerrillas because they have been harassed and massacred by fake guerrillas.
Now the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps have no support from the local people here. The people have misunderstood the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps and expelled them like rats crossing the street.
Although some wise people remained calm and hoped to investigate the matter clearly before drawing a conclusion, these voices were soon drowned out by angry voices.
Now the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps finally couldn't stay any longer and evacuated the area in dejection amidst the denunciation and abuse, which made the enemies hiding in the dark burst into laughter.
But Liu Heitan and the others were also very cautious. They did not immediately jump out to take over the territory in this area instead of the Japanese. Instead, they were like foxes, very cautious.
He heard that the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps were evacuating, but he was not sure if this was a trap by the Northern Jiangsu Corps, so he and his men hid for two more days and had almost eaten all the dry food before deciding that it was time for them to appear.
Already.
"Squadron leader, those guerrillas have been completely driven away by the local people. Now there is no guerrilla in this area."
The traitor in charge of the investigation walked around the surrounding villages and happily reported to the traitor Liu Heitan.
"Are you sure those guerrillas have really evacuated?" Liu Heitan was still worried.
Those powerful guerrillas are powerful troops that can beat the imperial army to pieces. If their small raiding team encounters them, they will be torn apart, so Liu Heitan is very cautious.
"If they really evacuate, they won't have anything to eat or drink. If they stay here any longer, they might starve to death," said the traitor in charge of the investigation.
The traitors all around burst into laughter. They succeeded in making the people hostile to the guerrilla corps. This time, the officers and soldiers of the guerrilla corps did not receive any supplies from the local area. These were their masterpieces.
"Okay!" Liu Heitan stood up and said loudly: "Since the guerrillas have been driven away, we have been here for several days. Today I will take you to eat meat!"
"Okay-" The traitors all shouted in unison.
Previously, they burned, killed, and looted in various villages. Because they were worried about guerrilla attacks, they always left at the first sign of attack and never dared to stay for too long. They spent most of their time sleeping in the open air, and their lives were miserable.
But now that the guerrillas have been driven away by the local people, this is their world, and they can do whatever they want.
Soon, a large number of traitors left their hiding place and headed straight for the nearest village. They had been eating cold dry food for two days and now they were eager to have a hot meal.
The village they chose is called Mian Duo, which is more than ten miles east of Yangjiagou.
They had harassed this place once before and killed several people. Now several new graves have been erected next to the fields outside the village.
Because the officers and soldiers of the guerrilla army had all left, the traitors no longer pretended to be officers and soldiers of the guerrilla army, but changed back to their own outfits.
The villagers in Mianduo were still immersed in the pain of losing their loved ones and had not recovered from the pain. When they heard that another group of men with guns came outside, they thought that the officers and soldiers of the North Jiangsu Corps were back.
More than a dozen militiamen from the Self-Defense Force rushed out of the village angrily with guns in hand, wanting to teach the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps a good lesson in order to avenge the blood revenge of several villagers who died in the village.
But when they rushed out of the village angrily, they were stunned because the people who came were not wearing the military uniforms of the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, but were wearing uniforms of gray cotton-padded clothes.
"Who are you and what are you doing in our village?"
Seeing Liu Heitan and his friends with so many people and various weapons, although the militiamen felt guilty, they still blocked them at the entrance of the village and did not let them enter the village.
"We are the plainclothes team under the Gaoyou Public Security Bureau. I heard that the guerrillas have been burning, killing and looting here recently. We really can't stand it, so we rushed here to help you -" Liu Heitan said
