The Kwantung Army believed that using them to deal with the battlefield in Kannai, and the Eight Routes, which were more proficient in guerrilla tactics, could be regarded as a kind of fighting poison with poison. The most important thing is that these people are all traitors to the Anti-United Nations. For the Japanese army, the Anti-Japanese Union and the Eighth Route both belong to the Communist Army, and if they are used to deal with the Eighth Route in the Guannai, there is no need to worry that they will defect.

Compared to Kannai, there are other relationships to take refuge into, and even the traitors of the Eighth Road who always want to leave a way back for themselves. These traitors to the Anti-United Nations, who had no roots or connections in the customs and had their own blood on their hands, had almost no other way out except to serve the Japanese army with all their hearts. This experience of the Kwantung Army in eastern Hebei has been proven to a certain extent.

These traitors of the Anti-Japanese Federation, when they were fighting against the Eighth Road in eastern Hebei, their desperate devotion to their lives was far from the two ends of the first rats in the Guannei, or even the three holes of the cunning rabbit. The Eighth Route Army, which often had superior equipment and troops, was annihilated in groups by the Eighth Route Army, which was quite poorly equipped and had a shortage of bullets, and became the main source of weapons and ammunition supplies for the Eighth Route Army.

This advance team of more than 500 people was all transferred from the northeast. The unit that remained in eastern Hebei was also composed of traitors to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and the Kwantung Army was reluctant to transfer it to the battlefield in Guannei. Those people all had experience in Jidong, which was located at the junction of the two major strategic groups of the Japanese army.

To the south, it can directly threaten Beiping, where the headquarters of the North China Front is located, and to the east, it can threaten Tianjin, the economic center of North China, and Tangshan, a heavy industrial base with the Kailuan coal mine. There was also the Bac Ninh Railway, which was the lifeblood of the Kwantung Army and the North China Front, and the Rehe Province, which directly faced the puppet state of Manchukuo.

The stability of law and order in eastern Hebei is far more important to the Kwantung Army than the corner in Shanxi. What comes out of Rehe, it is all opium known as black gold. In the entire opium production of the puppet Manchurians, Rehe occupied an extremely important position. The opium produced in Rehe was also a source of underground economy for the Kwantung Army.

Under the circumstance that they did not want to mobilize the Eastern Hebei Advance Force, which had stronger combat effectiveness, the Kwantung Army simply organized some of the cadres and troops of the North Manchurian Anti-Japanese Alliance who had surrendered one after another when they swept the Xiajiang and North Manchurian areas into an advance team according to the model of South Manchuria. After two months of intensive training, it was transferred to the 36th Division.

This special advance team of more than 500 people composed of traitors from the Anti-Japanese Union and the puppet Manchurian military and police. Each squad was armed with a Czech machine gun, and the squad leaders were all made in Mukden*. It is also equipped with a cannon squadron consisting of four Type 92 heavy machine guns, two flat-fire guns, and two mortars.

It is different from the special police force formed by part of the First Army of the South Manchurian mutiny, which was transferred to eastern Hebei by the Kwantung Army. This advance team was formed by the Kwantung Army, which was formed by using the former Second Route Army and the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Union that had surrendered to the enemy in North Manchuria, so that the traitors of the old backbone troops of the North Manchurian Anti-Japanese Federation were the backbone.

Qu Chengshan, commander of the 1st Division of the 4th Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, who defected to the enemy in 38, as the captain, and Cheng Guangxun, the former chief of staff of the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, who had advised the Japanese army after the mutiny, lured Cheng Bin, commander of the 1st Division of the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, to defect and directly dismantled the 1st Division with the strongest combat effectiveness of the 1st Army, as the deputy captain.

After being transferred to the Shanxi battlefield, this advance team composed of traitors from the Anti-Japanese Union was used by the 36th Division, which was eager to retaliate. This time, the Japanese army made a feint with the peripheral troops in the base area to attract the attention of the peripheral Eighth Route Army troops. Several units were selected to strengthen a certain number of puppet troops based on the Japanese army, and several units were formed to attack the hinterland of the Taihang base area, a plan for several main targets.

The advance team, which had just been transferred to Jinnan and changed into a pseudo-garrison uniform, was transferred to cooperate with the sneak attack of the Japanese army. It was also this advance team composed of traitors who used their own experience in guerrilla warfare in North Manchuria. With the cooperation of local traitors and spies, they took small roads and deliberately detoured to avoid the guard positions at the front.

Along the way, they do not enter any villages, and rest in remote ravines during the day, and all operations are carried out at night. If you encounter civilians along the way, you can directly kill them on the spot and bury them. They evaded the surveillance of the militia and local armed forces in the base area, so that they were directly detected only when they were near the target.

Even in the Taihang Mountains in the southeast of Shanxi Province, because of the climate and the fact that it has been located in the traditional agricultural belt since ancient times, the population is more sparsely populated than the land, and the development time is much more dense than that of North Manchuria, which is thousands of years later. But after all, the entire Taihang District is known for its steepness, and the population is much sparser than that of the plains.

Coupled with the sweeps of the Japanese army for many years and the impact of the drought in '42, there are still many uninhabited areas. If the Japanese puppet army had used a small force to go to sparsely populated areas, deliberately avoid the forward alert troops, and adopt certain tactics, it would not have been possible to go deep into the base areas at all.

In particular, these Japanese troops were interspersed with troops, led by traitors who were familiar with the local terrain. Don't enter any villages along the way, and avoid areas with good traffic as much as possible. In particular, if there are few people there, you will walk there, and if you can walk the ridge, you will never walk the mountainside, and many times you would rather take a detour. Although it took a lot of effort, it also created a considerable opportunity.

These people put themselves in the position of guerrillas and mistook the Eighth Route Army in Taihang Mountain as the Japanese army. The positions of both sides were reversed by a 180-degree turn. Put yourself in the position of the anti-Japanese army sweeping in the deep mountains and old forests of the northeast. You must know that the Japanese army's practices in the northeast are much more cruel than in the passes.

In addition to the annexation of households and the construction of so-called group tribes in the areas of anti-union activities, there are also a large number of local organizations such as the Concord Association. And through the cruel armor protection system, the common people not only did not dare to support the Anti-Japanese Federation, but also did not dare to report to the Anti-Japanese Federation.

And a large number of pseudo-police teams have been formed, which are specially used to fight against the anti-United Nations, such as the mountain and forest police. The entire puppet Manchurian police system was basically formed with Japanese as the backbone. At the same time, the Northeast, as the deepest and earliest area of Japanese penetration, was full of spies of the Japanese puppet army. This point is still incomparable to the battlefield in Kannai.

Many cadres and fighters of the Anti-Japanese Federation were sacrificed not on the battlefield, but at the hands of the so-called armor protection system established by the Japanese army and a large number of spies. In order to survive and fight in such an environment, these renegade cadres can be called experts in guerrilla warfare. Their hands did bring considerable trouble to the war.

It can even be said that if Li Ziyuan had not been discharged from the hospital and returned to the army, if he had been discharged from the hospital a day later or a day earlier. I'm afraid that the entire hospital was touched under the nose by the Japanese puppet army, and it is not necessarily possible to know. And the military district headquarters, which are not far from the actual distance of the field hospital, will also be seriously threatened.

This plan was jointly drawn up and put forward by Qu Chengshan, the former commander of the reninous Anti-United Nations Division, and the former first-level cadres of the Anti-United Nations Regiment, who were the leaders of several squadrons. In order to invite merit and performance in front of the new master, these traitors have left behind all the courtesy, righteousness, shame and humanity, and they can do no matter how crazy things are.

After listening to these people's confessions, Li Ziyuan was somewhat glad that he wanted to relax at that time, so he chose to go slowly. Coupled with the good horse sent by the head of the division, he was able to detect these sneak attackers in time.

But fortunately, Li Ziyuan was also shocked by the high level of guerrilla warfare for these former traitors. Judging by the interspersed routes on the maps of captured Japanese troops, as well as from the confessions of these traitors. Without the cooperation of these guys who are proficient in guerrilla warfare, and even their advice, it would have been impossible for the Japanese army to go so deep into the base area without being discovered.

Just think about the harsh fighting and living environment that these traitors faced before they surrendered to the enemy, far exceeding the battlefield in Guannai. If these guys really didn't have a few brushes in their hands, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to last for so many years in such a harsh environment.

The true identity of these puppet soldiers made Li Ziyuan shocked and surprised at the destructive power of these people. Compared with the guerrillas who stayed in the south after the Long March and persisted in guerrilla warfare, the New Fourth Army was formed that was more adept at guerrilla warfare. The Eighth Route Army, which was formed from the main force of the Red Army that had participated in the Long March, had some weaknesses in this kind of pure guerrilla warfare.

In fact, the Eighth Route Army in the north is better at mobile warfare and mobile warfare. Although some guerrilla tactics have been developed in the light of changes in the situation, they have been carried out mainly by local armed forces. The main force is still dominated by sports warfare. The level of these guys in this regard is, to a certain extent, no worse than the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, before surrendering to the enemy, these people were veterans for many years, and they themselves had a very high level of skills and tactics. In addition, after surrendering to the enemy, the Japanese army conducted targeted training. The military quality of these people is almost far superior to that of the ordinary puppet army in Guannai. Although the level of attacking the fortification is not satisfactory, the field ability and the speed of the battle mode transformation are not much worse than the main force of the Eighth Road.

Coupled with their unique identity, these people who once took the heads of their comrades-in-arms and went to the Japanese puppet army in exchange for glory and wealth are already on a path where there is no and cannot turn back, and they are even more crazy on the battlefield. The resoluteness of resistance on the battlefield is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary puppet armies.

However, while rejoicing, Li Ziyuan also had a headache in dealing with these people. These men could not march with them, and it would be a heavy burden for the remaining forty or fifty men to carry them. If you encounter enemies or accidents along the way, it's absolutely strange that these people don't run.

Even these people, encouraged by the desire to survive, may still grab guns to resist and cooperate with the Japanese puppet army attacking them, unless they mobilize a considerable number of troops to guard. But the problem is that under the condition that he still has to leave enough guards for the hospital, it is impossible to draw too many troops to watch these bastards.

But the identities of these people are different from ordinary puppet soldiers, and there is no way to release them on the spot after education. These people themselves used to be part of the anti-Japanese forces, and they did not necessarily understand the big truth less than themselves, and if they wanted to educate them, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream. What's more, the war situation is ever-changing, and I have so much American time to educate these people?

can be put back, judging from the performance of these traitors in this sneak attack, it is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain and making trouble for the safety of the base area. With the abilities of these people, going back is still a threat. Thinking of this, Li Ziyuan gritted his teeth and made up his mind to simply cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

One of these squadron leaders and two squad leaders were left to give an explanation to their superiors. The rest of the people, including those former puppet Manchurian mountain and forest policemen who had fought against the Anti-Japanese Union in the northeast for a long time and had already developed a complete set of anti-guerrilla tactics, were disposed of in order to completely solve the future troubles.
