On January 7, 1940, Zhou Weiguo set out from Laiwu to the north, bid farewell to everyone in the 78th Brigade, and embarked on the road back to Laiyang.
Zhou Weiguo carried everyone on his back and waved.
Feng Guangsaburo squinted his eyes and looked at Suning, who was wearing a major's uniform next to him. He was very satisfied. Generally, retainers of such a big family would listen to their master's words.
"Ning Sang, did your young master tell you anything?" Feng Guangsanlang asked.
"Hey, the young master told me to protect the brigade commander, even if he sacrifices his life." Suning bowed to Feng Guangsanlang and said.
"Then, my safety will be handed over to Ning Sang from now on." Feng Guangsanlang also looked solemn.
"Hi!"
…
Zhou Weiguo took Yang Yang and Zhao Sheng with him. They were no longer in the territory of the Japanese army and had no worries. After leaving Laiwu, they walked towards Zibo. After arriving in Zibo, they found a hotel to stay.
"Master, everything is done."
Zhou Weiguo nodded. He had just sent a telegram back to Laiyang, asking Liu Yuan and the others how they arranged the previous information. It would be best if they could resolve this matter before the year. In more than a month,
For the special forces, it is enough to operate within Shandong.
laiyang
Liu Yuan received the telegram from Zhou Weiguo and felt relieved. In the past few days, they had been discussing the previous intelligence. There were 15 Japs in Shandong and Yunmen Mountain had been destroyed. In other words, there were 14 more.
The number of special forces is not that large, and in the previous battles in Weifang, Anqiu, and Zhucheng, almost all the soldiers in the special forces were injured. After almost a month of recovery, only two-thirds of the soldiers were almost healed. The number is still slightly small.
Some.
Gu Feiyan means destroying the closest ones first.
Liu San's idea is to come from far away and then deal with the near. Because of the manpower problem, whether it is from the near or far away first, it has not been implemented yet.
Now that Zhou Weiguo has sent a telegram back, it is naturally the best news. Zhou Weiguo alone can be worth dozens of people.
"Let's start from the position of Weiguo and extend outward." Liu Yuan agreed, "This should be the most convenient layout now."
Several people nodded, "Not bad."
"Then let Shou and the others take the people to join Weiguo."
"Um."
So, on January 7, more than 30 soldiers of the special force set off from Laiyang to Zibo. For the soldiers of the special force, they could set off immediately as soon as they received the order, not to mention, this time they were followed by the division commander
Go on a mission! Everyone is very excited, and there is not much chance of being able to carry out a mission with Zhou Weiguo.
At this moment, Zhou Weiguo was planning to go out for dinner with Yang Yang and others. The Japanese troops stationed in Zibo were the first regiment of the 83rd Brigade. The Japanese soldiers were very arrogant, at least, much more arrogant than the Japanese soldiers in Laiwu, and they were upright.
Just sit outside and eat at a common people's stall and pay! Zibo is quite prosperous at night, and there are still many people who have to go out and set up small stalls in order to make a living. There is no curfew here, or maybe the Japanese don't care at all.
In addition to a regiment of the Japanese, there is also a division of the Second Japanese, that is, the puppet army. Ever since Weifang was taken by the independent division, these people have been trembling with fear. When Qingzhou was taken, they have been very restrained recently, for fear of the independent division.
After taking Zibo and settling accounts with them, they have heard that as long as they are reported by the people and have really bullied the people or become traitors, they will be shot. What's more, even the Japanese are there.
According to the regulations, people cannot be bullied at will.
Zhou Weiguo was walking on the street, wearing a windbreaker. No one in Zibo knew him. Even though he had retreated to Zibo with Fengguang Sanlang before, Fengguang Sanlang was the only one who saw the defenders of Zibo.
Zhou Weiguo wondered, are the people here really not oppressed by the Japanese? No matter how prosperous the two sides look, they don't look like they were in troubled times.
So Zhou Weiguo took Yang Yang and Zhao Sheng to sit down at a stall and ordered three bowls of noodles, some beef, and some snacks.
"Boy, let me ask you, isn't Zibo still controlled by the Japs?" Zhou Weiguo asked, "Why do you dare to go out to do business at night?"
"Objectively, you don't know that the Japanese are very polite to us people now." When the waiter talked about this, he was very excited, "Speaking of what kind of government they are going to establish, most of the taxes are not much the same as before.
Big difference, now, the Japanese are very polite to us, and they will pay for food."
Zhou Weiguo raised his eyebrows, "That's right." Then his face darkened. This trick of the Japanese was to make the people accept their rule. Because for many people in China in this era, especially in enemy-occupied areas, who rules?
It doesn't matter, they just need to be able to eat, clothe, and live, and they just need to be able to survive. Although they still hate the Japanese, still miss their lost relatives, and still have sworn hatred with the Japanese, but before the bayonet,
Next, most of the people chose to surrender. But now, the devils suddenly became polite to the people, which shows that the devils' policy has changed.
Zhou Weiguo had never had a good experience in Laiwu before. At least, what he felt was that the Japanese soldiers were still superior.
In Zibo, things actually changed. It was shocking. But the brainwashing work done by the Japanese in Zibo was the best in the entire enemy-occupied area. It’s scary to think about it! If the people really accepted or got used to the Japanese.
rule……
When the food came, Zhou Weiguo took out his chopsticks and started eating. For him, these were not problems, as long as he drove away the Japanese. Moreover, Zibo was not far from Qingzhou, only a few hours' drive away.
It’s just that the Japanese did this in Zibo, but what about other places? Do the Japanese want to turn these places into TW? It seems that the speed of recovery is going to be accelerated.
The noodles are delicious. After all, this is the north, and noodles have been around for thousands of years.
After eating, Zhou Weiguo paid the money and continued shopping with Yang Yang and Zhao Sheng. He kept buying food and inquiring about the relevant information he wanted to know from the common people's vendors. The information he got was very consistent. The Japanese were now very polite to them.
!
…
Back at the hotel, Zhou Weiguo looked very unhappy.
"Master, the Japs have very big plans." Zhao Sheng said, "With the Japs' previous behavior as a comparison, the Japs were just a little more polite to the people, but the people were actually very happy and thought that the Japs had changed for the better."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "If all occupied areas are like this, then there is no way the Japs will gain a certain amount of popular support."
"This is too much!" Yang Yang said angrily, "You have killed our people and bullied our people for so long. Is this enough?"
Zhou Weiguo sighed, "As long as the common people can survive, they can tolerate it. After all, it is our fault for not protecting them well. However, it is really unexpected that the Japanese are doing this."
"Eh." Yang Yang and Zhao Sheng also sighed.
"The only way is to take back these places, so we still have a long way to go." Zhou Weiguo squinted his eyes and said calmly, blood debts will not disappear just like this.
