In the morning, the people who were digging under the supervision of the traitor puppet army started work with difficulty.

Hard ground, it's really hard to dig.

The puppet soldiers persecuted the people with guns, constantly cursing, kicking, and smashing with the butts of their guns, more devils than devils.

These miscellaneous people were originally rotten goods from ruffians and hooligans, and they were of course handy in oppressing the people, with the slightest lower limit.

The people had to work hard.

The Japanese were cunning, and a squadron of infantry, which was in charge of supervision, watched the battle from the city walls.

The commander of the puppet army Niu, in order to show his loyalty to the imperial army, personally led the guard company, holding a pistol, and supervising.

The puppet army has also taken quite a few precautions.

Machine guns mounted, rifles ready, an infantry battalion, more than four hundred men, mixed in the midst of the people, staring thief-eyed.

At eight o'clock, the migrant workers had already dug a lot of streets.

The puppet army suspects that the tunnel is just below the street.

The safest thing to do is to dig long trenches in the streets to see if you can cut and find the tunnels of the Chinese army.

No, not really.

Looking at the exhausted militia, both the puppet army and the Japanese troops on the city walls gradually relaxed.

They didn't dare to say it, but they muttered in their hearts that they must have run away.

For so many days, the Eighth Route Army and the Wugong Corps are good at sports warfare and guerrilla warfare, how can they wait for the imperial army to encircle and suppress it.

Niu Guodong was anxious.

Because he patted his chest and promised that if the soldiers and civilians in the county town did not escape, they would be underground, and they must be dug up and given to the imperial army as a greeting gift.

Now, he is the most anxious alone: "Okay, don't dig the streets, find me a few yards, dig hard!" ”

Niu Guodong himself doesn't think that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is still there, otherwise, there are thousands of people, right?

Can you hide underground?

He imagined it according to the idea of a sweet potato cellar.

No one knows exactly how.

After all, it was an old Jianghu, and after digging for a long time without results, he sent a puppet army to search in the ruins.

The county town was bombed and burned by fire, which is one of the reasons why the ruins were not excavated, and now, after a delay of several hours, the ruins or something gradually cooled down before they could get close to people.

Several officers surrounded Niu Guodong and talked about it.

The captains of several search teams came back to report that they were in the ruins and that there were basically no people in sight.

Niu Guodong was shocked and immediately pulled out his pistol: "Quick, report to the imperial army, just say that the Eighth Route Army must be hiding underground here." ”

Kuroki rushed over when he heard the news and listened to his speculation: "Are you so sure? ”

Niu Guodong compared his head with his hand: "Brigade commander, I am convinced that the Eighth Route Army is here, because, our previous intelligence shows that they did not leave, and the thousands of people in the city did not leave, especially the people, the reconnaissance team of our division has been ambushing for several miles outside the city, and has not intercepted people at all, and now, there are no dead people in the ruins, what does it mean?" Just to say, they are all hiding, digging, digging! General Kuroki, I'm sure I'll find them! ”

When the commander of the Blackwood Brigade heard this, he took a deep breath: "Niu Sang, your analysis is very reasonable, but let me add that most of them may have suffocated to death in the pit under the ruins!" But, Niu Sang, you keep digging, and if you find their corpses, you will be greatly credited! ”

Niu Guodong immediately stood up and saluted: "Hash!" ”

The Japanese army made combat deployments, various encirclements.

When the county town was tossing, in the underground tunnels, the officers and soldiers and thousands of people were waiting patiently, and no one could act rashly without the orders of their superiors.

Just let the little devils toss.

Many tunnels are connected, and once they are dug up and exposed by the enemy, the hidden people must retreat quickly, and block the section with wooden planks or something to prevent the enemy from killing and injuring with poison gas and grenades.

Chengxi 8th Road store.

The Japanese army had completed the task of destruction early, and was also digging and searching for the Chinese Eighth Route Army.

I was stunned that there was no corpse.

An infantry brigade of the Japanese army.

The captain was surprised: "Our detective team has been staring at this place for more than two days, and the enemy has always been here, protecting those who may escape!" Dig three feet into the ground and find them. ”

Some of the people dug up, and some people expanded their search to the surrounding villages to search.

One squadron remained, three squadrons of infantry plus other arms, and let a battalion of puppet troops lead the way and disperse around.

With Balidian as the center, the surrounding villages within several miles can be swept away.

"Avenge our jade-shattered warriors!"

The Japanese army has always wanted to take crazy revenge for the last defeat.

The Japanese squadron leaders all understood and happily left with their soldiers and horses.

Yang Chaoran, with his troops, was in a bush and green gauze tent three miles south of Balidian.

Last night, in the middle of the night, they withdrew from the village.

It's the story of every night.

Everyone, including the villagers, must go.

Half a day, the first half of the night, they were all here, and after midnight, they quietly left.

Discuss with all the villagers, evacuate some old, weak, sick and disabled to nearby relatives' homes, and the rest of the people, if they are willing to go, they will go, and those who are unwilling to go will continue to follow Yang Chaoran's army.

Yang Chaoran hated retreat and didn't want to continue pretending to be his grandson.

His special tactics can already restrain the enemy, so let's go head-to-head with the enemy!

See who has harder bones.

He took a battalion of troops.

Five hundred.

Through and through.

Another infantry battalion, in Wulipu, east of the city.

There were two battalions in the city.

In the daily work, the soldiers and civilians of the city had to quickly enter the underground tunnels at night, and only a few people reconnoitred on the walls and in the streets.

After midnight, even they had to retreat.

The entire county was dead silent.

Wulipu and Balidian were evacuated in the middle of the night, and the city was empty.

In short, Yang Chaoran's plan is very cautious.

He had anticipated the enemy's ability to detect, and this was an area that the enemy had ruled for many years, and there must have been various subordinate forces intertwined.

There must be a large number of traitors, or speculative forces, and they will definitely do everything possible to investigate the intelligence of the Eighth Route Army.

Your location and information cannot be kept secret at all.

With such a large army, thousands of soldiers and civilians, and tens of miles and eight towns around, how many people are there?

If the good and the bad are uneven, there will be evil.

He also believes in the intelligence ability of the little devil.

Therefore, he has to use the enemy's intelligence network to take advantage of the situation and let the enemy be deceived.

A force of more than 500 people, equipped with the same equipment as the devils.

It's just that there is less ammunition.

Grenadiers, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, machine guns, but they are leveraged, and by the way, there are a few mountain guns.

An army of five hundred people, one hundred and fifty villagers.

Now, everyone waited patiently for the enemy to come and die.

Those soldiers, needless to say.

"The little devil is so hateful, if we hadn't escaped, we would have been blown up and burned to death by the little devil."

"In this life, I'm on a par with a little devil!"

Other villagers wept silently or gritted their teeth.

Because of the bombing of the little devils, the yellow phosphorus bomb, all their homes were destroyed.

O peasants, if you lose your homeland, you lose everything.

They stared at blood-red eyes, and they must take revenge.

"Give me a gun, I'm going to join the army!"
