Chapter 223: Starting Something Else? (Second Update!) )
Hayashi Grange, one of only three villages in the mountains.
After the Japanese puppet army blocked the entry and exit of the mountain pass, in order to monitor the Eighth Route Army hidden in the forest, there were people in the three villages who were bribed by them to act as their eyeline.
As soon as the sky was dawning, and the whole village had not yet woken up from its sleep, a group of puppet soldiers suddenly came out of the nearby forest and rushed directly into the village.
There were as many as 200 people.
"Open the door, we are the Lingqiu Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps, a unit specializing in fighting devils, if we don't open the door, we will be punished as traitors!"
More than 200 people rushed into the village, which consisted of only 50 or so households, and the quiet village instantly became lively.
The shouts and curses of the puppet army and the sound of banging on the door soon resounded in the village.
The alarmed village chief was quickly brought to the commander of this puppet army.
"This is Commander Huang Shenghuang of our Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps, what do you have to tell him directly!"
The village chief, who was over half a hundred years old, hurriedly hugged his fist at Huang Sheng and asked.
"Commander Huang, I don't know what your army does? Whether it's passing through our village or staying! ”
"Of course, the anti-Japanese guerrilla corps is a devil-fighting force!" Huang Sheng replied angrily.
"We were originally a puppet army in the county, and after being rescued by the Eighth Route Army, we asked the little devils to control us. was originally going to join the Eighth Route Army, but I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army would fight a big defeat the day before yesterday, with heavy losses in troops and a collapse! ”
"At this time, following the Eighth Route Army must have dug their own graves, for the sake of more than 200 brothers under my command, I decided to break away from the Eighth Route Army, start anew, set up the Lingqiu Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps, and continue to fight devils!"
"We found that the terrain of Lin Grange is very good, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so we decided to stay here for a while!"
"Because the brothers left the Eighth Route Army in too haste, and the Eighth Route Army itself was short of supplies, they couldn't even eat enough, and they didn't bring too much food out. Therefore, when our anti-Japanese guerrilla corps was stationed in Guicun, we also needed the villagers to provide us with some military rations. ”
"We don't want much, fifty catties of food for a family is enough!"
"Shhh...... So many ......" the village chief couldn't help but gasp.
The village can take out these grains, but taking them means that the whole village will be out of grain for at least two months before the autumn harvest.
He didn't want to give it, but seeing that everyone on the other side had a gun in their hands, the village chief compromised.
Soon, the news of the puppet army captives and the Eighth Route Army rebelling and the establishment of an anti-Japanese guerrilla corps spread in the village.
In the face of this group of puppet soldiers who fight devils in their mouths but are not even as good as bandits in action, the villagers dare not speak out, so they can only obediently hand over food.
Maybe it was because the puppet army was not familiar with the situation when they first arrived in Lin Tianzhuang, or maybe it was because they were too careless, and they did not block the village after entering the village, and the people could still enter and leave the village freely.
So, just after noon, Zhou Yunian, who was still stationed in the stronghold of Hongquan Village, received information from the eyeliner.
"It seems that the situation reported by the county is true, the Eighth Route Army in the mountains has really been hit hard, and only some remnants of the army are defeated!" Zhou Yunian shouted with excitement in his eyes.
The solemn expression on his face had been swept away.
After the defeat of the Eighth Route Army in the mountains last time, although Noda Shaozo did not punish himself explicitly, he did not let himself return to the county seat.
Zhou Yunian faintly felt that this matter was not so easy to settle for a hundred times, and there must be some follow-up.
For several days in a row, Zhou Yunian frowned and looked solemn because of this incident.
The information brought by the eyeliner made his eyes light up, and he found an opportunity to solve the matter once and for all.
If he can kill the puppet army who betrayed the Japanese army before the celebration exhibition held in the county seat, and capture Huang Sheng.
With this victory in hand, even if the above is still dissatisfied with himself, the merits and demerits can offset the responsibility of his defeat last time, and then return to the county seat as his own regiment commander.
"Tanaka-kun, I think this is a chance God has given us!" Zhou Yunian found the leader of the Japanese garrison squadron in Hongquan Village and suggested with a look of anticipation.
There are too many troops in your hands, and if you want to win this battle, you must involve the Japanese!
This is Zhou Yunian's first thought after experiencing a defeat.
Seeing that Captain Tanaka frowned and didn't speak, Zhou Yunian continued to persuade.
"The county report is exactly the same as the information we have collected, the Eighth Route Army in the mountains has been hit hard, and the remaining remnants of the defeated generals are also demoralized and lose their combat effectiveness because of those traitors anyway~"
"At this time, we will definitely not be attacked like before!"
"Also, this group of traitors is stationed in Lin Tianzhuang, more than ten kilometers away, not in the mountains, we can kill them in three hours at most, and directly launch a surprise attack on the traitors stationed in the village, catch them by surprise, and end the battle quickly!"
Captain Tanaka was silent and hesitated for a long time and asked rhetorically.
"Are you sure those traitors are really against those Eighth Route Army in the mountains, and then start anew and do it alone!"
"I'm sure!" Zhou Yunian affirmed.
"Several eyeliners say so, it's impossible for them to unite to cheat humility together~"
"Also, there is not much left of the Eighth Route Army in the mountain, and it is impossible to have any conspiracies against us!"
"Captain Tanaka, believe me, send troops!"
"The day after tomorrow, the county will hold a celebration exhibition, and I heard that there will be a lot of people on it."
"If we can kill these traitors before the celebration exhibition, and report to Commander Noda at the celebration exhibition. I believe that Captain you will not only be impressed by Commander Noda, but will also be favored by the superiors! Don't miss the opportunity! ”
Captain Tanaka's heart moved, and his eyes became hotter and hotter.
Staring at Zhou Yunian, he continued to ask: "How many troops do we need to dispatch!" ”
"There are more than 200 traitors stationed in Lin Tianzhuang, they are armed with several light machine guns, and Lin Tianzhuang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you want to kill them, you must have a military advantage!"
"I suggest that the puppet army send two companies, and the imperial army send two infantry squads!"
Captain Tanaka finally made up his mind and replied in the affirmative: "Yo Xi, it's decided!" ”
"You take two companies, I take two infantry squads, set off in an hour, march quickly to raid Lin Tianzhuang, and strive to end the battle before dark!"
"Leave an infantry squad in the stronghold, and one of your dissatisfied companies will be safe!"
On the only way to Lin Tianzhuang from the stronghold of the Japanese puppet army in Hongquan Village, Li Hao lurked here with almost all the remaining main forces of the guerrillas.
In order to win this battle and stabilize the morale and morale of the army, Li Hao also worked hard.
Except for the light machine guns and heavy machine guns that Huang Sheng took away, the guerrillas equipped and the unequipped troops, he brought them all.
A total of two heavy machine guns, two Czech-made, and six crooked handles, lined up in a row, were scattered in the middle of the pocket array that stretched for nearly two hundred meters.
