Li Siwei suddenly changed his order, because he remembered the first battle of crossing the river.

In that battle, Li Siwei led the elite of the 66th Regiment to fight hard for half a day, and later reinforcements arrived, and the main force of the Tamura Brigade was wiped out outside Zhujiazhai...... The 3rd and 4th Advance Regiments simultaneously captured the river fortifications in Wei County and swept the nearby pillboxes.

Later, Luo Zesheng and Chen Huaili reported to Li Siwei, "The puppet army in the stronghold of Nanzhou Village killed the little devils in the stronghold and took the initiative to disarm...... The puppet army in the Qizhuang stronghold also had a fire with the little devil and ......"

The report of the two made Li Siwei see a fact clearly: in the puppet army, there are also some people who are not willing to be traitors who forget their ancestors!

The next day, Zhu Xiangyang asked Li Siwei to intercede on behalf of the captured puppet army, and Li Siwei happily handed over the prisoner to the advance team.

The Advance Team has a better understanding of what those puppet soldiers are doing, and it is more appropriate to leave it to them to deal with.

Thinking about it again, Li Siwei suddenly felt a trace of guilt in his heart, lingering...... If we had held Shanghai, or held Nanjing and Xuzhou...... Even if we can fight a few more big victories and let our compatriots see the dawn of victory, there won't be so many compatriots who will be puppet soldiers!

Seeing Li Siwei's lonely expression, Miao Zhenhua suddenly felt a little apprehensive, "Leader, I ...... Missaid the ......"

Li Siwei came back to his senses, looked at him and smiled reluctantly, "Zhenhua, you're right, traitors deserve to die, but ......"

"Cannon," Li Siwei was interrupted by Liao Heiniu who came in a hurry, before his words fell, "I asked clearly, the little devil and the 'two dogs' were divided into eight squads on the shore ......"

There are nearly thirty miles of defense on the Wei's line, and some of them are loopholes for the little devils to drill!

"Holy shit!" Li Siwei interrupted Liao Heiniu's words with an angry scolding, "Go search immediately...... You, Quanyou, and Shi Meng each led a team of cavalry to search separately, and let the special service company and the direct company follow up...... We must find out all these scourges! ”

"Yes!" Liao Heiniu agreed and hurried away.

Under the moonlight, the plain on the west bank of Weishi was full of fires, horses' hooves, gunshots, angry scolding, crying, and howling...... Converged into a "Concerto of Moonlit Nights"!

"Our defense area was attacked, three rice fields in Chenliuzhuang and Xuejia Village caught fire, and our department is making every effort to pursue the invading enemy......"

"Our defense area was attacked, five rice fields in Lujiazhai were burned, and our department has engaged the enemy who came to ...... attack."

"Our defense area has been attacked, all the crops in Shuijing Village and Shimo Village have been burned, and our department is clearing out the invading enemy ......"

……

One telegram after another flew like snowflakes to the headquarters of the Fifth Division, and the commander of the division was shocked and angry, "Little devil on a dog day...... This is a desperate plan! ”

The people live on food!

What's more, soldiers also have to eat!

The crops were burned by the little devils, how did you spend this winter?

Staff Officer Gu held the telegram sent by the 66th Regiment and gritted his teeth with hatred, "There are about 20 people in a team of enemy troops, among which there are only five little devils, and the rest are puppet soldiers...... The little devil has a good calculation! ”

Staff Officer Xu calmed down a little, "The top priority is to clear out the invading enemy as soon as possible, so as not to cause greater losses!" ”

Division Commander Guan glanced at him, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The various departments are already pursuing with all their might, but there are no cars in the division, and there are few war horses...... It's inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net! ”

Sure enough, when the search was dark, only five teams of enemy troops were wiped out, and two of them were blocked by Regiment Commander Geng's headquarters on the flood embankment.

By this time, the other three groups of enemy troops had already retreated safely to the river and fled to the opposite bank.

On the other side, the city of Weishi was bathed in the morning sun, but it exuded a desolate and gloomy atmosphere.

The command post of the Japanese army stationed in the Wei clan is still located in the south gate, a large mansion with three entrances, and it is heavily guarded.

Dazang Shaozo walked out of the backyard, dressed in military uniform, with sonorous steps, and his resolute face was a little less solemn than before, and there was a little more joy.

"Shao Zuo," the attendant officer greeted him, "Company Commander Hu has arrived!" ”

"Oh," the corners of Daizo Shaozo's mouth lifted slightly, with a hint of ridicule, "Zhinaman...... I can't do anything, but I have a very strong desire to fight for merit! ”

The attendant officer was stunned, and hurriedly smiled, "The people of China do lack some practical spirit. ”

"Well said!" Dazang Shaozo smiled even more, strode through the corridor, and walked towards the front yard, "Isn't there any news from the commando team yet?" ”

The attendant hurriedly followed, "Not yet." ”

Daizo Shaozo smiled and frowned slightly, "If the action goes well, they should be back......"

The attendant officer understood Dazang Shaozuo's worries, and hurriedly comforted, "Shaozuo, please rest assured!" The commando team will be taken by surprise and will surely be a great success! ”

"Well," Daizo nodded, his brows furrowed, and there was smugness in his words, "Surprise is the essence of guerrilla warfare...... In this world, there are more than those who can fight guerrilla warfare! ”

Regarding this raid plan, Daizo Shaozo was somewhat complacent.

"Shao Zuo is smart," the attendant complimented, "if all eight squads can return safely, this operation will be perfect!" ”

"No!" Dazang Shaozo paused, looked back at the attendant officer, and a cruel smile flashed in his eyes, "As long as the forty soldiers of our department can return safely, this operation will be perfect!" ”

The attendant officer was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

What does it matter if the puppet army lives or dies?

Seeing the attendant officer smile, Dazang Shaozo turned around and continued to move forward, with a hint of cruel pleasure in his voice, "Compatriots cannibalize...... It's a good show! ”

The attendant was still smiling, but there was a hint of mockery in his smile...... It's ridiculous that Company Commander Hu is still waiting for a commendation!

At this moment, Company Commander Hu was waiting for the meeting of the Tibetan Brigade in the conference room of the Tibetan Brigade, and he was sitting precariously, but he could not hide his joy in his eyebrows...... If this raid can be successful, he should be treated by the imperial army!

"Wow......"

Dazang Shaozo walked in with sonorous steps, looked at Lian Commander Hu, smiled, and greeted warmly in Chinese, "Lian Chang Hu, I've been waiting for a long time!" ”

The family of Tibetan Shaozuo is also often praised as a "China expert".

In fact, in the garrison division, many officers know some Sinology, which is also conducive to communicating with the puppet army and better maintaining local law and order.

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Company Commander Hu hurriedly got up, with a smile on his face, "Serve the imperial army, don't dare to slack off!" ”

"Okay," Daizo smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand, "Please take a seat...... If this operation goes well, you will be indebted! ”

Company Commander Hu sat down and hurriedly complimented, "Your Excellency Shao Zuo is very resourceful, this plan will definitely succeed...... At this time, the other side must have become a mess! ”

"No," Daizo shook his head as he sat down on the throne, "anything is possible!" All...... It will be decided after the commando team has successfully returned! ”

"Yes!" Company Commander Hu nodded hurriedly, his face full of shame, "What Shao Zuo said is very true!" It's too impetuous! ”

"Wow......"

As soon as Lian Chang Hu finished speaking, the attendant officer hurriedly walked in and walked straight to Dazang Shaozuo, with a solemn expression, "Shaozuo, the commando team is back." ”

"Oh?" Dazang Shaozo was overjoyed and smiled, but he heard the attendant's voice low, "Only three squads have returned......"

"Yaga!" Dazang Shaozuo's smile froze, and his brows furrowed, "How was the result?" ”

The attendant hurriedly reported, "According to Sergeant Tojo's report, the three squads that returned set fire to more than ten rice fields in three villages of the enemy...... However, the enemy reacted quickly, they did not dare to stay and did not be able to check the results. ”

"Oh......" Daizo Shaozo frowned and groaned.

Company Commander Hu on the side vaguely heard their conversation, and saw that Dazang Shaozuo did not look good, and his heart suddenly became worried.

"Company Commander Hu," at this moment, Dazang Shaozuo suddenly looked at Company Commander Hu with a solemn expression, "In this operation, all the soldiers of your army have used their lives to be loyal and brave!" However, the enemy counterattacked quickly...... Many of them did not make it back, and like my warriors, they were loyal to the Empire! ”

Company Commander Hu was stunned, and hurriedly got up, with a solemn expression, "Your Excellency Shaozuo, this is their honor!" ”

"Good!" Dazang Shaozuo's face was full of appreciation, "Having a friend like Company Commander Hu is a blessing for the empire!" ”

Since the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese invaders have changed their strategy toward China, on the one hand, trying their best to suppress the forces with a resolute attitude in the War of Resistance, and on the other hand, advocating "using China to contain China", deliberately co-opting those forces that do not have a firm stance on the War of Resistance...... Vice President Wang, who made the chairman hate, defected to the Japanese invaders during this period!

For the Chinese people who worked for the Japanese invaders, the officers and men of the anti-Japanese army naturally hated them to the core.

Therefore, when the various departments sent the captured puppet army to the division headquarters, Division Commander Guan waved directly at the guards, "All of them will be dragged out and killed by Lao Tzu!" ”

The captives hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, and the wails rang out.

"The chief spares his life, the chief spares his life......"

"Sir, we were also forced!"

"If we don't do it, the little devils will kill people......"

"Sir, we just want to live......"

"!" Master Guan shouted violently, glaring at them with an angry face, "So many people didn't become two dogs, didn't they survive?" ”

The captives were speechless.

A few guards were about to step forward to pull people, and a prisoner burst into tears, "Sir, I used to be in the Anyang garrison, and when Anyang fell, I was wounded and captured, and at that time, I also wanted to die with my brothers...... However, I still have an old mother to support...... I can't die! ”

"Holy shit!"

Master Guan glared at him hatefully and scolded angrily, "There are more than 8,000 brothers under Lao Tzu's hands, which one has no wife and children to support?" If they are all like you, which one would dare to fight hard? ”

The captive froze, bowed his head in shame, and was speechless.

Several of the other captives also hung their heads, their faces ashamed.

"A bunch of soft eggs!"

Seeing their appearance, Division Commander Guan suddenly felt a little excited, and waved his hand in disgust, "Take Lao Tzu down, heal the injury and throw it into the front-line troops......

As he spoke, Master Guan's voice was sharp, "If you dare to be a deserter again, Lao Tzu's gun won't have long eyes!" ”

"Yes!" Several guards hurriedly stepped forward, dragged the prisoners and left.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir......"

Several of the captives were still busy thanking each other.

When the prisoners were taken out of the courtyard, Master Guan suddenly sighed softly, "Can't die?" Can't die...... Hehe......"

The surrounding soldiers all looked at Master Guan suspiciously, but saw that Master Guan suddenly turned his head to look at Li Siwei, looking lonely, "Siwei, are you afraid of death?" ”

All the soldiers looked at Li Siwei again.

Li Siwei was stunned, calmly met the gaze of Master Guan, and slowly opened his mouth, "Sometimes I'm afraid, sometimes I'm not afraid......"

"Holy shit!" Master Guan glared, but showed a wry smile, "The ants are still stealing...... Who is not afraid of death? ”

"Yes!" Li Siwei nodded, with a bitter smile, "So, I didn't kill them!" ”

Master Guan was silent.

The soldiers were silent.

"Okay," Li Siwei forced a smile and broke the silence, "Commander, the little devils have called, we can't stand this nest of anger, right?" ”

China is a country of etiquette, and the Chinese people have always advocated "courtesy and exchanges"!

What is "Gift Exchange"?

In a word: in the relationship, I don't want others to suffer, and I don't want to suffer even more!

"Yes!" Master Guan perked up, and his eyes brightened, "Since the little devil is worried about food, let's start with food!" ”

The generals were in high spirits and echoed one after another, "Mobilize the little devils with food and take the opportunity to tear up their defenses!" ”

Because of the experience of Lieutenant General Jingguan and the 14th Division, Major General Maeda was much more cautious, and his troops were entrenched in several county towns around Kaifeng and Shangqiu, and they were arranged in a watertight manner, so that the defenders could not find an opportunity.

However, since they are concerned about food, they will inevitably run around and show their flaws.

Here's the chance!

"Okay," Commander Guan turned around and walked towards the conference room, "Make a plan to send troops across the river as soon as possible!" ”

The generals followed.

A bit of planning.

It wasn't until noon that the generals dispersed.

Li Siwei returned to the regiment headquarters and immediately summoned the commanders of the various departments.

In the conference room, all the generals arrived, and everyone looked solemn.

Li Siwei swept the generals and slowly opened his mouth, "Last night's incident made me see a big weakness in our regiment...... Compared to other troops, the brothers have run very fast, but they still let the little devil slip away! ”

The crowd will be silent.

Li Siwei's eyes turned and fell on Fucha Morgen, and his voice raised, "So, we need to form a faster troop!" ”

Fucha Morgen's expression moved, and his eyes lit up, "Commander, do you want to form cavalry?" ”

"Yes!" Li Siwei nodded heavily, and looked at Fucha Morgen with blazing eyes, "The regiment should form a cavalry ......."

"Regiment commander," Zheng Sanyang interrupted Li Siwei, with a wry smile on his face, "There are only seventy or eighty war horses in the regiment, and the war horses of the communication platoon can't move, and the war horses of the battalion and company commanders can't move...... What do you take to form a cavalry? ”

Naturally, you need war horses to form cavalry!

A real war horse!

Mules don't count!

Li Siwei turned his head to look at Zheng Sanyang, and smiled, "Lao Tzu can't get it, don't you have it, don't you have it?" ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei looked at Fucha Morgen again, "Brother Fucha, first gather all the war horses in the regiment and practice the brothers' riding skills...... You pick the people yourself, a company of the establishment! ”

If he encounters a situation like last night, he doesn't want officers at all levels to continue to serve as "temporary cavalry"!

That's too risky!

"Yes!" Fucha Morgen stood up suddenly, full of energy, "I'm going to pick someone......

The requirements for elite cavalry are not low, and the personnel must be carefully selected!

"Don't worry," Li Siwei shook his head with a smile, "After the cavalry company was established, the direct company was canceled...... Try to choose from the direct company first! ”

"Yes!" Fucha Morgen nodded hurriedly, "The brothers of the direct company are from Tianqing Village, and most of them can ride horses. ”

"Good!" Li Siwei nodded, turned his head to look at Huang Hua and Sun Dali, "That Acton, and some brothers who came with Brother Fucha are all in your ......."

Huang Hua smiled, "Don't have any problems, let them go back!" ”

Li Siwei nodded, "If there are fewer people, go to the direct company to pick ...... You've been crossing the river recently, and your brothers in the company are more familiar with the situation over there! ”

"Yes!" Huang Hua and Sun Dali hurriedly agreed, eager to try, "It's over tonight?" ”

Li Siwei smiled and nodded, "The sooner the better!" ”

Sun Dali stood up suddenly, turned around and left, "Fucha, go, pick someone!" ”

Fucha Morgen looked at Li Siwei, saw Li Siwei nodding, and hurriedly followed, "Let's go to the direct company first!" ”

Li Siwei looked at Wu Tianyou, who was sitting still, "Third brother, you shouldn't have ridden a horse, right?" ”

Wu Tianyou was stunned and stood up with a smile, "How can it?" ”

Li Siwei smiled, "What are you waiting for?" You're still the instructor of the cavalry company! ”

"Oh," as soon as Li Siwei's words fell, Wu Tianyou hurriedly agreed and hurriedly chased out.

That's what he's waiting for!
