"What can you do, what can you do? This is the territory of the Japanese. You can't even save your own head when you show up here, how can you solve the problem for us!" the second uncle asked with a look of disbelief.
Zhang Tian replied with certainty: "Second uncle, even if you don't believe me, you should still believe in our Eighth Route Army, right?"
Seeing that the second uncle subconsciously wanted to speak, Zhang Tian followed up and added: "Second uncle, don't ask anything, I won't say anything if you ask. Then you just need to listen. The Japanese want food, you
Just give it to them, and give it to them proactively, and never let them enter the village to steal food!"
"You should know the virtues of the Japanese. Once they are allowed to come in and steal food, Uncle Er, you will not lose fifty kilograms of food, but all your family property!"
"As for the problem of insufficient food at home, don't worry, our Eighth Route Army will help you solve it and guarantee that you won't go hungry!"
After saying that, Zhang Tian didn't stop, he walked out of the house and disappeared into the night.
Five days later, more than fifty little Japs and more than a hundred puppet troops appeared at the entrance of the village driving ten large vehicles.
After entering the village, we went straight to the home of the village maintenance association president.
After seeing the mountains of food piled up in the yard, the Japanese second lieutenant nodded with satisfaction.
"Yo Xi, very good, Zhang Sang, let your people load the food. I will transport the food back to Linfen City before dark!"
"Yes, Taijun, I will ask someone to load the food right away!" the chairman of the Maintenance Committee replied with a flattering look on his face, and he handed a big bag of rice to the Japanese squad leader.
In the woods two miles outside the village, guard battalion commander Hong Ruijun was hiding here with two companies of more than 300 people. More than 50 people from three guerrilla groups from the neighboring village were also here, looking at the main force next to them with bright eyes.
Troops, especially after seeing the equipment on their bodies, I couldn't suppress the envy in my heart even if I wanted to.
"Captain Zhang, Captain Li, and Captain Zhou, don't be envious. After this battle, I will give each of your guerrillas twenty rifles and one light machine gun. I will give them all the shotguns they can't use and shoot them one by one."
Throw it away and replace it with better equipment."
"However, after returning to the village, the guerrilla team must be expanded to thirty-five people. At that time, I will assign a deputy to each of you and train the guerrilla team as a regular army. As long as the training is qualified, I will make the decision to recruit you into the main force.
!”
"Thank you, chief!" the three guerrilla captains replied immediately, fearing that Hong Ruijun would regret it.
Then he stared at Hong Ruijun and asked: "Chief, we can't ask for those weapons in vain. I know you will fight the little Japs soon, and we ask to join the battle!"
"Yes, but you must obey orders!" Hong Ruijun did not want to dampen their enthusiasm.
"Battal Commander, the Japanese are ready to leave. They have brought nine carts of food with them, and one cart contains a fat pig and three sheep that have been killed!" A platoon leader who was hiding near the village to spy on the enemy rushed over.
reported.
"It's finally out, comrades, start taking action according to the original battle plan~" Hong Ruijun's eyes became hot and he immediately ordered.
At the Japanese division headquarters in Linfen City, the chief of staff walked in anxiously and reported when he saw Fujino.
"Division Commander, something happened outside the city..."
"The two grain-collecting troops that left the city today were attacked by us. The whole army was destroyed. All the grain collected was taken away. Two companies of the Imperial Army and a reinforced squad of Imperial Army were lost!"
"Did you kill those sneak attackers?" Lieutenant General Fujino's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"No!" the chief of staff replied helplessly.
"The enemy is too cunning and retreats right after the fight. Moreover, our troops in the occupied area are limited. By the time the news is received in the city and the reinforcements are sent over, the sneak attackers will have been completely gone!"
"The Eighth Route Army guerrillas operating in the occupied areas must have done it to Bagya Road!" Lieutenant General Fujino judged with a stern face.
The chief of staff tentatively reminded: "Look! Do you want to send a regiment back from Liuzhen to launch a raid on the occupied area and kill those guerrillas?"
Fujino did not answer, but asked with a serious face: "Kill them, okay, I will give you an infantry regiment, how long will it take you to kill them completely..."
"This?" The chief of staff hesitated for a long time and didn't know how to answer.
Half a minute later, he shook his head and explained: "The humble position is incompetent. Even if the humble position is given an infantry regiment, there is no way to kill them in a month!"
"Those guerrillas were so cunning. They hid in the woods as soon as the imperial army passed by. There were not many of them. If the troops rushed into the mountains to look for them, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Moreover, they would suffer heavy casualties under the attack of their guerrilla warfare.
What a deal!”
"It's good to know!" Fujino replied!
"Our urgent priority now is to kill their main force. Without the main force to support them, just relying on those guerrillas who can't even have a gun as many as one man will not be able to make a big splash, and they will be killed by the imperial army sooner or later!"
The chief of staff reminded: "If we ignore them and let them operate in our rear area, is it a hidden danger after all?"
"Don't worry!" Lieutenant General Fujino replied confidently.
"Those guerrillas have no problem fighting a guerrilla war, but if they are allowed to take the initiative to attack the strongholds where the imperial army is stationed, they would not dare even if I gave them ten courages. Aren't there only two grain transport units that were attacked today? The rest were
Several grain transport troops have successfully returned to Linfen City, how much grain is there in the city now!"
"Fifteen pieces are back, plus what was shipped back yesterday, the city now has 280,000 kilograms of grain!" the chief of staff replied quickly.
"This means that most of the food has reached Linfen City safely!" Fujino asked.
"Hi!" the chief of staff confirmed after hesitating.
"That's fine!" Fujino replied without caring.
"If the food is lost, it is lost. As long as most of the food is in our hands and the imperial army has food to send troops, this is more important than anything else!"
"Those guerrillas can't make any big waves!"
"Chief of Staff, your immediate priority is to raise food and ammunition. I believe that our attack this time will definitely cause a devastating blow to the new regiment. As long as we can kill or severely damage them, we can then go back to deal with the helpless ones.
It’s not too late to rely on the guerrillas!”
The worries in the chief of staff's mind have not been dispelled. If I remember correctly, the new group that is now powerful is the result of the continuous development and growth of several guerrilla groups a few years ago. The situation I see in front of me is almost the same as what happened a few years ago.
Same thing.
But the division commander Fujino was so determined that he could only accept the order. At the same time, he prayed in his heart, hoping that the division commander's judgment this time was correct!
In Xiangyan Village, Chairman Zhang Caizhu had just finished drinking with his escorts, and walked into the backyard with the help of his servants while drunk.
Just as I lay down on the bed to go to sleep, the closed door was suddenly knocked open!
Although Mr. Zhang was drunk, he was not confused. Since he became the president of the maintenance committee and worked for the Japanese, he has become more and more vigilant.
Subconsciously, he reached for the pistol that he had kept next to his pillow. However, before his hand touched the gun, a rush of footsteps sounded at the door, and then he felt a cold bayonet appear next to his neck!
"Don't move. We are the Eighth Route Army. If you dare to move, your bodies will be separated!"
"Don't kill me!" Rich Man Zhang panicked and replied quickly!
