On a hillside nearly one kilometer away from the highway, Xiao Yuan personally stared at the army of the Jinsui Army on the middle road.
This is the headquarters of the Jinsui Army, which has both transport troops and a mountain artillery battalion. It is the most difficult to deal with among the three Jinsui Army, so Xiao Yuan decided to go out personally.
"Captain Xiao, the Jinsui Army has really divided its forces, the regiment commander has done it!" Xue Yujun, commander of the independent company, shouted excitedly.
In his opinion, as long as the Shanxi-Sui Army divides its forces and uses the combat power of independent companies and commandos, it will definitely be easy to deal with a group of artillery and heavy baggage troops.
"Don't underestimate the enemy. In addition to the mountain artillery battalion and the transport troops, the Jinsui Army also left the engineering company behind!" Xiao Yuan reminded with a serious look.
Xue Yujun nodded: "But this engineering company doesn't have many people. It should be that part of the force is allocated to the two assault troops on the left and right. There are only less than fifty people here, so it should be easy to deal with."
Xiao Yuan nodded in recognition, and then a bold idea came to his mind: "Captain Xue, if I remember correctly, there is a village one kilometer ahead, and there is a mountain road two kilometers ahead that the Jinsui Army must pass. Let's go there,
Specifically..."
The road was so completely damaged that it is almost impossible to completely repair it and restore it to its original appearance.
All the engineering company has to do is fill up the deep pit to ensure that the heavy baggage vehicles and mountain artillery can pass through.
However, the large baggage trucks carried too much supplies, each weighing nearly two thousand kilograms.
The road that had just been repaired was extremely soft, and the big car would get stuck if you were not careful, and it took a lot of effort to push it out.
As they walked, the engineer company had already advanced one kilometer, while the artillery battalion and the baggage company had to move forward six to seven hundred meters with great difficulty. The distance between the two troops became wider and wider.
Just then, a village appeared next to the road.
The commander of the mountain artillery battalion, who was worried that his troops were too few and the march was too slow, immediately came up with an idea: grab dozens of strong men from the village to help him, which would not only reduce the burden on his men, but also make the convoy run faster.
The battalion commander immediately contacted the engineer company and asked them to send people into the village.
Because this place was about to become the territory of the Jinsui Army, the battalion commander did not dare to use force and offered a high price of an ocean for five days to recruit civilian men from the village!
The engineer company commander also wanted a civilian husband.
Although they are engineering soldiers, they usually build bridges and pave roads for the main force, but at this time they usually have civilians to cooperate, and they only need to provide technical guidance.
How is it like now, when each person has a shovel and goes into battle in person, leaving everyone disgraced and out of breath?
After learning that the commander of the mountain artillery battalion wanted to find civilian husbands, the two hit it off immediately. After deciding on the distribution plan of civilian husbands, they personally took more than thirty subordinates into the village.
The engineer company commander led the team to withdraw from the village twenty minutes later. In addition to more than thirty subordinates, there were also more than a hundred people in ragged clothes.
More than thirty civilians were led by the engineer company commander to the front to build the road. The remaining nearly a hundred civilians were scattered in the middle of the convoy. Some helped push the carts and others helped push the cannons.
When the mountain artillery battalion and the baggage company began to enjoy the fast marching speed brought to them by the civilian workers, unknown changes were taking place in the engineer company.
The village they just raided looked like an ordinary village on the surface, but was actually controlled by commandos and independent companies.
All the young men in the village were replaced by independent company soldiers.
Therefore, the civilian men recruited by the engineering company were all soldiers pretending to be independent companies.
Even the engineers who entered the village were controlled by the commandos when they captured civilian husbands. Except for the company commander, all ordinary soldiers were replaced by commandos and independent company soldiers.
Subtracting the more than thirty subordinates taken away by the engineer company commander, there were still a dozen engineers left in front of the convoy.
Everyone was busy building roads. When they saw the company commander bringing back some thirty civilians, everyone became excited. They did not notice that the thirty or so comrades escorting the civilians had been replaced.
By the time they reacted, civilian husbands and replacement comrades had already surrounded them. Three or four people controlled an engineer, some holding daggers and others holding pistols, pointing at their necks and chests.
A few minutes later, all these engineers were tied into rice dumplings, and their military uniforms were put on the civilian husbands who had just been brought back by the company commander.
Xiao Yuan wore an engineer uniform and stood next to the engineer company commander. After everyone had tidied up all the Jinsui troops here, he looked at the engineer company commander with a half-smile but said with a half-smile: "Captain Zhou, you have seen our strength and work style, right?"
?”
"As long as you cooperate with us well, I promise not to kill anyone tonight. Once the incident is over, everyone can go back if they want, without any embarrassment!"
"Are you from the Eighth Route Army or the Japanese side?" the engineer company commander asked reluctantly.
Xiao Yuan thought for a moment and replied: "I can tell you now, we belong to the Special Higher Education Course!"
"Although the main force of the Imperial Army in Datong has been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, there are still many stragglers who survived. Many of us here are one of them. After being recruited by the Special High School, they lurk in the surrounding mountains to wait for the Imperial Army in the future.
If we counterattack Datong, we will suddenly appear and cooperate with the main force to reoccupy Datong."
"Because there have been a lot of remnant soldiers gathered recently, our special high school class has limited supplies hoarded in the hiding place, so we can only go out and find a way."
"It's also my fault that your Jinsui Army was unlucky. It happened to be transporting supplies through my defense area and hit our guns. In order to prevent everyone from starving, I have no choice but to take action against you."
The engineer company commander was not afraid of death. After confirming the identity of the Japanese opponent, he became even more stubborn than before.
He gritted his teeth and replied: "Since you are Japanese, there is nothing to say. I will kill you or chop you into pieces. From now on, you can't expect me to cooperate with you anymore."
"Really?" Xiao Yuan was not worried.
Looking at the engineer company commander, he replied: "I know you are a man and not afraid of death, but the same cannot be said for your brothers."
"And if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the brothers under you."
"If you don't agree to cooperate with us, I guarantee that all the brothers under you will die."
"Don't say they are prisoners, we can't kill them."
"We are a special high school class, not real soldiers. We don't need to abide by those rules."
"And you should have heard of the methods of our special high school. Even if there are hundreds of people standing in front of us, let alone dozens of people, they won't frown if they want to kill them."
The engineer company commander replied with a cold snort: "Finally, I have expressed your thoughts. I know that you were lying when you said you would let us go."
"How can I possibly survive if I fall into the hands of your special education class?"
"Since you are going to die sooner or later, why do you want to become a traitor and harm your colleagues before you die?"
"I said if you can live, you can live!" Xiao Yuan affirmed with a smile.
"I have no reason to kill you, but I have a reason to let you live!"
No one wants to die, and the engineer company commander is no exception.
He looked calm on the outside, but his heart was filled with hope.
The eyes are the windows to the soul and cannot deceive anyone the most. Even though the engineer company commander hid this glimmer of hope very well, there was still a slight fluctuation in his eyes.
Xiao Yuan saw it clearly and took the opportunity to explain: "Because each of you is useful to us."
"Our goal is to lurk in Datong for as long as possible."
"This means that we need a lot of supplies. The more times we come out to grab supplies, the greater the chance of being exposed. If we can capture you, we don't need to grab you. We can directly trade you with your army and use you in exchange for
We urgently need food and other supplies."
"Artillery and engineers are different from ordinary infantry. They not only require a lot of time to train, but also have a cultural background."
"For your army, it is definitely more cost-effective to exchange you for some food than to retrain a group of artillery and engineers."
