Chapter 375: Appetite

The Eighth Route Army was able to survive on the battlefield behind enemy lines not by relying on sophisticated equipment, but on a broad mass base.

In fact, the mass base of the devils is also good, that is, the vast number of traitor organizations, there is no shortage of traitors anywhere, and the traitors are all local squires, and there are countless blind followers, and their intelligence sources are not much worse than the Eighth Route Army that takes the mass line.

Therefore, the Eighth Route War of Resistance behind enemy lines was not so easy, and the harm of these traitors leading the party was not much less than the direct threat of the devils.

Although there is a mass base in Pingchuan, the Eighth Route Army has been evacuated from this place for more than half a year, and it is normal for traitor forces to rise up, so they must use thunderous means to deter the swaying wall grass.

In order to restrict the development of the Eighth Route Army and prevent them from developing their forces outside the specified area, the authorities would rather this place be occupied by devils than allow the Eighth Route Army to cross the border.

It's like where the land is still rather deserted, and it is a reason that you don't let others plant it, so they, the Eighth Route Army, who had been active in the Pingchuan area, could only give up their base areas and were forced to evacuate for the sake of the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War.

Now they have to come here again to hide for a while, and it is almost impossible to prevent the eyes and ears of traitors large and small, so they can only be afraid and dare not tell the truth casually.

And although they jumped to the periphery, other troops, such as the third battalion of the new second regiment and the second battalion of Qi Dajiu, were still within the enemy's sweep range.

Lao Wang's kind of ground snake, who is about to become a master of dealing with devils, is estimated to be able to avoid the sweep of the enemy, and Qi Dajiu, a guy like Qingling, who is not familiar with the place, he really doesn't necessarily avoid the sweep of the devil, so he made such a fuss, and by the way, he also attracted the attention of the devil.

In short, the louder and more high-profile the movement, the devils and traitors have to be afraid of three points.

In fact, Zhang Yunfei's approach was indeed very effective, the devil's sweeping army withdrew, and Maeda mobilized all the traitor organizations to collect and find their troops this time.

A commander with a complex mind like Ichiro Maeda is even more difficult to deal with than the kind of devil officer who only knows how to use military operations.

In my opinion, secretly gathering intelligence is the most important thing, as long as the empire still maintains its advantage on the battlefield in China, then there are people who work for them.

The interests of these people who relied on the support of the empire to gain power and wealth were tied to the empire, and it was far more effective for them to find those slippery loach-like eight roads than this kind of laborious sweep.

After determining the accurate movement of the Eighth Road, and then mobilizing troops in a targeted manner to capture and capture in one fell swoop, a fatal blow is far better than this method of striking the grass and startling the snake and pulling the net everywhere, and the most lethal thing is to hit the snake at seven inches.

So when the sweeping troops were still sweeping like a snake, Maeda Ichiro began to think about how he would clean up such a mess when they returned in vain.

So when the mopping forces withdrew, he began to activate all intelligence resources, especially using some captured renegades of the Eighth Route Army, who knew better about the behavior and habits of the Eighth Route Army.

For those traitors, he attaches more importance than those plainclothes spies, although there are many chickens and dogs in the plainclothes team, and it is not bad for them to listen to the news, but to deal with the Eighth Route Army, which has a strict organizational structure, it is still not professional enough, too amateurish.

Maeda Ichiro agrees that the best way to break through this strong fortress is to break through this speech from the inside, even if the Eighth Road has such a tight organization, there will be gaps to drill inside.

Only with enough care and patience will there be opportunities, and for an army like the Eighth Route that is well-organized and has changeable tactics, it may not have any good effect to fight against it with conventional military theory.

Sometimes the use of traitors who have no way back and are familiar with the style of the Eighth Route Army may have unexpected miraculous effects.

To deal with a force like the Eighth Route Army, we must be patient and careful, instead of blindly adopting sweeping and purging, which seems to be tough, but in fact makes it the most stupid way.

Look at Hashimoto Kakuichi, who was troubled, and the larger battlefield, now in the entire North China region, the counterattack of the Eighth Route Army this time is not a counterattack against the intensive sweep and blockade of the imperial army.

For the Eighth Road, which is small in number, slippery like a loach, and good at using its own characteristics, it is very difficult to catch them with conventional methods, and it will be caught by them if they have the opportunity to bite back.

Hashimoto Kakuichi is a living negative teaching material erected there, he will not be stupid like him, and he will work hard to sweep the people, in addition to futility, but also make the officers and soldiers below fatigued, weaken their own combat effectiveness, not to mention, and make the other party laugh at the incompetence of the imperial army.

Since the bright ones are not like the dark ones, the way of using soldiers should be combined with odd and positive, knowing that the large-scale sweep has little effect, and hitting the south wall, that is really stupid.

Well, he doesn't have as many troops as next door, and even if he wants to organize a large-scale sweep, he doesn't have the ability to do it.

Therefore, we can only secretly collect intelligence, determine the specific location of the Eighth Road, and completely eliminate it in one fell swoop, which is the real way to use troops.

Having determined his own code of conduct, Maeda Ichiro began to select a group of plainclothes agents and send them to what he believed to be the most likely hiding place for Yachiro.

He even prepared some poison for these spies, and it was common for the imperial army to sprinkle poison into the village well in order to clear the wilderness during the sweep, and they were not short of poisons.

If you can kill Hachiro without spending a single soldier and without sending a large army, it will naturally be excellent, and people like Maeda Ichiro don't have the spirit of bushido.

This is a pragmatist, as long as things can be solved, it is natural how to make it convenient and trouble-free.

Maeda Ichiro compared Zhang Yunfei to a poisonous snake, but in fact he himself was more like a poisonous snake, really opening his fangs and silently sneaking close to his prey, whoever was targeted by him would definitely not feel good.

At this time, Zhang Yunfei didn't know that Ichiro Maeda, a devil, was plotting against him, but he also felt panicked, not that he had any sixth sense.

It's Sister Jia's enthusiastic smile, which has a deep meaning, and always feels a little fake, like a wolf grandmother.

For such a smile, Zhang Yunfei is familiar, when their troops came to Pingchuan, they were so fooled by her to stay, and now she shows such a mysterious smile, it is estimated that she wants to hit the attention of her team again.

This made Zhang Yunfei angry and funny, this eldest sister's dedication to military armament is not ordinary, the key is that her current army is not a group of more than ten guerrillas, but a battalion of troops.

Even if she agreed to stay, she didn't want to think, did she have such a big appetite?
