The captain of the district squadron seems to have thought of something or been inspired by something!
His brows immediately knitted together, and after a few seconds, he suddenly spoke!
"Captain, I remembered!
"When we first entered the village, the villagers looked at us differently than they did half a month ago. Their previous worries and suspicions are back!"
“Everyone closed their yard gates and stayed at home without saying hello to us!
"If it were yesterday, if we entered the village, everyone would be very enthusiastic!"
"It wasn't until we met a few acquaintances and confirmed that we were the Eighth Route Army that someone came out to say hello to us, but the concerns in their eyes still did not dissipate!"
Li Hao's frown deepened, and he replied with a stern face: "It seems that the impact and destructive power this incident has brought to us is greater than my inference!"
"But there's nothing we can do about it. I don't blame you all. After all, the base area has just been established!"
"The villagers' sense of identity and belonging to us is not as strong as that of the villagers in the old base area. They can trust us unconditionally!"
"In addition, their worries about the Japanese have been buried deep in their hearts, and they have not completely forgotten them!"
"The occurrence of this incident directly aroused these concerns and reappeared in my mind, and then I had such a big reaction!"
Liu Senyun asked anxiously: "Captain, what should we do?"
"It took a lot of effort to build up our prestige and make everyone believe in us. Once it disappears, all our previous efforts will be in vain!"
"It's also very difficult to establish a base in a short period of time!"
Li Hao said nothing, and fell into deep thought with a sullen face!
My mind is running fast, racking my brains to think of solutions!
It took a full minute before he spoke.
"The purpose of the Japanese and puppet troops in doing this is obvious: to make the villagers feel fear for us again, to alienate the relationship between us and the villagers, thereby hindering our smooth establishment of a base area, and to twist the villagers into a rope to oppose them!"
"To achieve this goal, they must take more than one action!"
"Because as long as we control it well, take confidentiality measures, and comfort the families of the guerrillas, we can minimize the impact of this incident!"
Liu Senyun asked thoughtfully: "Captain, what do you mean is that we wait until the next time the Japanese take action to catch them all!"
"Not bad!" Li Hao affirmed!
"The base area is too big, and the guerrillas, local troops, and main forces have not formed combat effectiveness. Letting them take the initiative to search for this little devil is no different than sending them to death!"
"In this way, you take out a company from the whole battalion, and veterans must make up the majority. Then give them double the number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars. As a mobile unit of the special agent battalion, they will be divided into three and stationed in each town.
Be ready to attack at any time and kill this little devil!"
"At the same time, we contacted the guerrillas in each village to strengthen their alert, and the reclamation of wasteland was temporarily stopped. From now on, whenever we discover the activities of the organized Eighth Route Army in the base area, we will immediately report it to the nearby local troops and the main force, and then the main force will kill them and kill them
Catch them all in one fell swoop!”
"Although there are not many mobile troops, we don't even have a strength advantage compared to the Japs, and there are many new recruits, but we can compete with the Japs in terms of firepower!"
"Each platoon is equipped with six light machine guns, one heavy machine gun, and one mortar. If you encounter the Japanese, shoot them with bullets and shells!"
"Even if we send out a group of new soldiers, as long as the firepower is strong enough, we can beat the Japanese into a sieve and kill them before they can react!"
After saying that, Li Hao turned his attention to Jin Yunian: "Instructor Jin, I will leave the aftermath work in the village to you!"
"Tell all the villagers that the guerrillas who were killed last night and our garrison are all recognized as martyrs. They will be compensated according to the standards of the sacrificed soldiers. We will deal with the aftermath and ensure that the families of all the guerrillas who died have no worries. Then we will reorganize the guerrillas and eliminate the villagers."
Concerns about us in your heart!”
Jin Yunian quickly replied: "Don't worry, captain, I promise to complete the mission!"
In the woods ten kilometers away from Zhoucun, a team of more than 30 people is resting here to replenish the energy consumed last night!
All the Eighth Route Army uniforms, all Japanese-style equipment, if it weren't for a few Japanese sentences popping up from time to time among the team, no one would believe that they are a Japanese and puppet army!
More than a dozen local puppet troops and more than twenty Japs were mixed into this action team, commanded by a Japs second lieutenant, and went deep into the hinterland of Laiyuan to carry out sabotage missions!
The garrison has just captured Laiyuan. Although they have defeated the traitorous agents once, it is definitely impossible to catch them all!
Moreover, in addition to the traitor agents left behind before the Japanese retreated, there are also intelligence officers who specialize in collecting intelligence!
These people are hidden among the villagers, and they are no different from ordinary people. Some of them are even ordinary people. Except for the specialized anti-special departments, ordinary combat troops cannot find them at all!
Because the foundation of the garrison is weak, there are very few professional anti-special talents, and retraining is very difficult and requires a lot of time. The expansion of the anti-special forces in the base area has not kept pace with the expansion of the base area!
Therefore, there were a large number of anti-special blank areas in the three counties of Laiyuan that had just been captured, so the little Japanese intelligence officers were not attacked and lurked!
The Japanese chief of staff had a very vicious vision. He directly grasped this point and used the unbroken intelligence network in the three counties of Laiyuan to cooperate with the action team to carry out sabotage in the three counties to prevent the garrison from forming combat effectiveness and prevent them from establishing a base area.
!
"Taijun, the garrison has put Zhoucun under martial law. No one is allowed in or out except the troops!" A puppet soldier wearing ordinary civilian clothes ran over and reported, with a respectful expression on his face!
Going deep into the heart of the Eighth Route Army to perform a mission, narrowly escaping death, you might end up standing up and go back lying down!
At first, no puppet soldiers were willing to join the action team!
But the price offered by the Japanese was too high!
As long as you complete the mission and come back alive, you will be promoted to two ranks, squad leader to platoon leader, platoon leader to company commander, and there will also be a reward of 100 yuan!
Even if you are unlucky and die, depending on the level before death, you can get a one-time compensation of two hundred to one thousand yuan!
Benefits are so exciting that although I don’t know if the Japanese can keep their word, there are still many traitors who are determined to work for the Japanese!
After entering the Eighth Route Army base area, these people have no way out and can only do their best to cooperate with the little devil to successfully complete the mission!
The Japanese team leader was very satisfied with the current status of the dozen or so Imperial Alliance troops. He rarely showed a pleasant expression, and then ordered: "Yoshi, you go down to rest now and have something to eat. We still have a mission tonight!"
After saying that, the team leader closed his eyes and started to replenish his energy!
A few hours later, the two people appeared in front of the team leader together!
One person is wearing ordinary civilian clothes, and the other person is wearing an Eighth Route Army uniform!
"Sir, this is the intelligence chief of the Imperial Army in this area. He has an emergency to report!" The kid in military uniform spoke first!
"Say!" the squad leader asked bluntly!
The middle-aged man wearing ordinary people's clothes turned out to be very proficient in Japanese, and reported with a serious face: "Hello, sir, I just received information that the Eighth Route Army has ordered all villages to be under martial law, land reclamation has been suspended, and all ordinary people have returned to their homes.
You are not allowed to go out, and any troops who are found to be moving around will not be allowed to enter the village regardless of their identity, and they must report it immediately!"
"Also, about three platoons of the Eighth Route Army were stationed at the local army garrison in three nearby towns!"
"Their local troops have not yet formed combat effectiveness. These three platoons of the Eighth Route Army must be coming to deal with us!"
"Yoshi!"
A smile appeared on the squad leader's face, and he exclaimed happily!
"I didn't expect that we would make the Eighth Route Army soldiers panic in just one operation. It seems that this sabotage mission is easier than I thought!"
After saying that, the squad leader stared at the intelligence officer and continued to ask: "What's going on with the Eighth Route Army stationed outside Laiyuan City?"
The intelligence officer shook his head and replied: "Except for the three platoons that were stationed in three towns, the other troops did not move and stayed at the station to continue training!"
The highest-ranking among the dozen or so puppet troops was a company commander. He was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"Taijun, one of our tasks is to destroy the base areas established by the Eighth Route Army, and the other is to destroy their military training and prevent the new recruits from forming combat effectiveness!"
"Now their base area is under martial law, and the people are staying behind closed doors, and they are in panic. As long as this situation continues, the base area will definitely not be established in a short time. This is equivalent to the completion of our first task!"
"As long as we continue to complete the second mission and destroy their troop training, can we go back?"
The Japanese team leader doesn’t want to die either, he just wants to complete the mission and leave here as soon as possible!
A very positive answer: "As long as we complete the second task, our goal will be achieved!"
"However, the Eighth Route Army is now heavily guarded, and the next operation will definitely be more difficult than last night!"
"Their current focus of defense is on each village, and the main force has not moved. This means that as long as we bypass the village and avoid the guerrillas in each village, we will not expose our target!"
"I decided to take action tonight, avoiding the village. Under the guidance of intelligence personnel, I approached the garrison station and launched an attack with mortars. After firing a box of ten shells, I retreated to the forest. Then I waited in hiding and made a decision based on the reaction of the garrison.
Take one step!"
Unless the Japanese and puppet troops kill the Zhoucun guerrillas, Li Hao will definitely not leave the spy camp!
And he believed in his arrangements during the day!
As long as this Japanese and puppet army takes action again, they will definitely not escape the eyes of the guerrillas in each village!
Although those team members have no fighting ability, they are local snakes. Keep an eye on them and wait for the main force to kill them, and there will be no problem!
But Li Hao never expected that the Japs would change their target of attack and directly target the army to attack Tai Sui!
"boom……"
At two o'clock in the morning, an explosion suddenly sounded at the Third Company of the Secret Service Battalion!
When Li Hao heard the explosion, he sat up from the bed, put on his military uniform and rushed outside!
"The explosion came from the north gate. Are there Japs coming out from the north gate of Laiyuan City to attack the Third Company Station?" Li Hao rushed out of the room and made a judgment based on the sound of the cannon!
Liu Senyun also rushed out, shook his head and said in denial: "Impossible!"
"I have never forgotten the lesson the troops learned in Lingqiu. In order to prevent the Japanese from climbing over the wall, I specifically told them that the troops should not just focus on the city gate!"
"There is at least one reconnaissance team watching at the north gate, and there is someone one or two hundred meters away. It is absolutely impossible for any Japanese to escape our eyes and leave the city, let alone bring out cannons!"
"And the Third Company's station is outside the range of the Japanese artillery in the city, so the artillery shells must not have been fired by the Japanese in Laiyuan City!"
"I'll contact the Third Company immediately and ask what happened with the explosion just now."
After saying that, Liu Senyun rushed into the war room next to him!
