Although the Japanese army abandoned the Qiaokou stronghold, the re-stationing of Pingchuan and Luoma stronghold did not dare to take anything lightly for Li Ziyuan. Although Pingchuan Town is outside the mountain, it is not far from Qiaokou and Luoma, and the straight-line distance is not far. Moreover, the stronghold of the fallen horse is not far from him, and the Japanese puppet army basically arrives at it.

At present, the intelligence system in the entire territory of Hubei has been slowly rebuilt, and the information that can be provided is really limited. In order to collect intelligence, a small team is often sent out by him to reconnoiter the changes in the enemy's situation, so as not to be touched by the devils and do not know it. In Li Ziyuan's words, even if you sleep, you have to keep one eye open.

But in any case, at present, the Japanese army abandoned Qiaokou and contracted its forces to ensure that Pingchuan along the Baijin Railway, as well as the northeast gateway of Pingchuan, were located at the junction of Hubei and Ludong counties, and clamped down on the Hubei-Ludong highway. For Li Ziyuan, after all, it is still a good thing.

Originally, he also planned that the Qiaokou stronghold could not be re-established by the devils in any case, and blocked the gateway for his own exit from the mountain. If the devil re-establishes the Qiaokou stronghold, he will do everything he can to bring down this stronghold. Whether it's blown up or killed, he's definitely going to be killed.

But now that the devil actually took the initiative to give up Qiaokou, it can be said to be a great thing for him. So that he can calm down and train those recruits well. However, Li Ziyuan did not dare to be careless, and chose the activity area of the small team to the east of Qiaokou in order to monitor nearby.

This squad has now been reorganized into a reconnaissance team by him, and spends a lot of time in solitary activities except for training. When other personnel were training desperately in the mountainous areas, the activities of this small team traveled almost all over the eastern mountainous areas of Hubei. In particular, there are several routes into the mountain in Qiaokou, and you can often see a small team.

After releasing a small team, Li Ziyuan dared to calm down and train the troops. This time, Li Ziyuan chose the station, and he also did not choose any village. Instead, the ruined temple was roughly repaired, and the ruined temple was chosen as the camp for the troops.

The reason why he chose this place is that Li Ziyuan is still very optimistic that the terrain here is conducive to defense. As for the food, it is easy to manage, as long as it is raised, a squadron will be drawn to carry it, and it will be fully armed for cross-country training at night. Not only can it train the troops' ability to march in the field, but also reduce the risk of each village being retaliated by the Japanese puppet army.

However, judging from the limited information, it may be that Gu Nian's loyal dog is not easy to find. The Japanese army did not deal with Wang Tieshi this time, and allowed him to recruit troops to re-establish the garrison. He also reallocated a batch of weapons and equipment to him from Taiyuan and Changzhi, and handed over to him a group of prisoners of the Jin Sui Army from the southeast of Jin, and also transferred to him two companies of the puppet Jin Southern Founding Army.

Although the equipment was not as good as before, after more than a month of reorganization, his strength was restored to four squadrons, plus a machine gun squadron with four 79 heavy machine guns. Each squadron secured four Czech-made or French-made 79 light machine guns, and the troops were all Hanyang-made rifles and Jin-made 79 rifles.

At the beginning of the year, the Japanese army defeated two divisions of the Jin Sui Army and captured a large number of weapons and equipment of the Jin Sui Army. This time, the Hubei puppet garrison brigade was reorganized, and the headquarters of the First Army directly allocated a batch of trophies, plus a group of prisoners of the Jin Sui army from the southeast of Jin, and handed them over to Wang Tieshi. The 36th Division stationed in Changzhi also redeployed a batch of weapons to Wang Tieshi from its own inventory.

After receiving this information, Li Ziyuan's jaw almost dropped. I thought that although this battle was although. failed to get rid of Wang Tieshi, a hardcore traitor. But this guy has hidden such a large number of weapons and lost almost the entire pseudo-garrison, even if the devil doesn't get rid of him as a scapegoat, he won't use this guy anymore.

didn't expect that this Wang Tieshi was so powerful, and he wanted to find a way to kill people with a knife, but the little devil didn't say anything, and he also replenished his equipment and personnel, so that he could re-establish the pseudo-garrison brigade in the shortest possible time. This point made Li Ziyuan a little puzzled.

Even if the Japanese value this guy, even if he is not used as a scapegoat for the defeat of the Japanese puppet army this time. But his garrison performed badly this time, and the Japanese should always think of changing horses. But this guy was able to gain the trust of the Japanese, and he didn't say anything, and he regained his strength in a short period of time.

Looking at Li Ziyuan, who received the information and didn't understand it, after sitting next to him in Pingchuan Town and the two battles of Luoma, he had no choice but to stay, and the former artillery captain of the puppet Hubei Garrison He Huizhang said: "Captain, there is nothing strange about this. Wang Tieshi's real backstage with the Japanese is not that Luo Hekanshiro Shaozuo. ”

"Kamishiro is just a young man, he's just an officer below. Rather, he was a senior adjutant of the First Japanese Army, as well as the chief of staff of the 36th Division. As for whether there are anything else, I don't know. But I knew that Wang Tieshi had a very unusual relationship with those two high-ranking Japanese officers. ”

"As far as I know, Wang Tieshi has to give a lot of bribes to these two guys every year. Last month, this guy also went to Changzhi City to give a few antiques to the Japanese army Dazuo in the name of curing diseases. As for the few high-ranking Japanese officers in Taiyuan City, he would send a large amount of money and goods every year. ”

"The little devils are not Qingshui Yamen, they are also insatiable people. It's just that, compared to some people in the Nationalist Army, the Japanese do not embezzle military salaries and funds. As for the way to make money, it is no worse than the Chinese to go there. These little devils do not refuse to come with foreign wealth. ”

"As far as I know, the brothels and gambling houses in Hubei County have the cadres of little devil officers. There is a quartermaster of a devil in Changzhi City, and he dares to sell anything as long as he gives money. Wang Tieshi once bought 20,000 rounds of ammunition and 1,000 Japanese-made grenades from him at one time. It's just that where these ammunition go, then no one knows. ”

"But I know that this guy has been secretly smuggling medicines, kerosene, food, batteries and other materials that are desperately lacking in the rear to the nationalist-controlled areas of Zhongtiao Mountain and Lingchuan. To the miscellaneous army of the national army in Lingchuan, smuggling ammunition and weapons and equipment. The entire Japanese army in the southeast of Jin was bought off by him. ”

When he first defected to the enemy, he bribed a lot of Japanese officers and found several solid backers for himself. So even if Rakuai Kanshiro is not satisfied with him, there is no way to remove him. This guy has a lot of background and backers in the Japanese. ”

"This is the last time you attacked Pingchuan Town and blew up the Japanese warehouse, when I was drinking with one of his henchmen, that guy drank too much and inadvertently leaked it. That guy said it himself, the great prince of Taiyuan and Changzhi received a lot of benefits from the captain. Don't look at Luo Hekanshiro's arrogance, but if you want to replace the captain, you have to ask his top boss if he does it. ”

"However, this guy has to die of distress this time. I've been working with them for more than half a year, and I don't know that this guy actually hides such a weapon. This time, you took all the old bottoms away, that's a lot of money, this guy probably swallowed your thoughts alive. ”

"The miscellaneous cards of the national army on the Lingchuan side are due to the difficulty of replenishing ammunition in a corner, coupled with the deduction of some aspects, which is a great shortage of materials. This guy has been colluding with several Japanese quartermasters to smuggle bullets and weapons captured by the Japanese army over there to make high profits. This time I was so catastrophic by you, which can be regarded as a broken capital. ”

Hearing He Huizhang's explanation, Li Ziyuan realized that the reason why Wang Tieshi escaped again this time was not just that a dog like him was difficult to find, this guy actually had so much background in the Japanese army. Being able to pull the Japanese into the water, it seems that this guy has a lot of means.

Looking at the He Huizhang on the side, Li Ziyuan smiled and said, "What's the matter, still thinking that you can't go back?" I guess even if you go back, that guy won't kill you alive. Don't forget, this time his biggest loss is not only weapons, the most critical is the loss of the backbone of his garrison, which is the most difficult to make up. ”

"Of his squadron leaders, two were killed and one executed. Now, even if the Japanese are in a short period of time, they will replenish him with a complete system. The henchmen and backbones that have been cultivated for many years have no way to make up for it in a short time. This time, there are not a few descendants left who he brought out from the militia group. Maybe you'll go back, and you'll be the squadron leader. ”

Regarding Li Ziyuan's ridicule, He Huizhang smiled a little embarrassedly: "Captain, I actually don't want to work anywhere for a long time." I didn't take the initiative to join the enemy at the beginning, but I was incorporated into the puppet army after I became a prisoner. I used to be the mortar platoon commander of the National Army, but during the winter offensive last year, I became a prisoner of the Japanese because the covering unit was broken up after the break. ”

"That guy did a lot of work when he was fighting with the Japanese army last year. The devil took us prisoners and handed over the mortars to him. We didn't take the initiative to join the enemy to be traitors, and there was no way to follow him as a puppet army. ”

"At that time, our troops were cut off by the Japanese army, and we didn't have a few guns in a single artillery company, and we couldn't run away with this heavy mortar. As a result, we even brought people and cannons to the devil cavalry and captured them. I've been fighting with devils since the beginning of the 77 Incident, and I've never thought of taking the initiative to join the enemy. ”

"We've always wanted to run back to the national army in Nakajo Mountain or to Lingchuan, but this guy is too tightly controlled. Our artillery team is stationed in his team headquarters, and the deputy captain and several squad leaders are also his henchmen. Our artillery ranges are not allowed to leave Pingchuan Town without an order, so we have never had a chance. ”

"This time you hit Pingchuan, which can be regarded as a relief for me. Originally, I wanted to return to the National Army, but you also know that although this place is close to the defense area of the National Army in Zhongtiao Mountain, there are devil sentry posts everywhere along the way. If I want to go back, I guess I won't even be able to get out of this pot in Beixian, so I have to get it back. ”

"I don't want to be a dog for the Japanese. As long as you can fight devils, it's the same wherever you fight. But the Eighth Route Army is all good, but it's not good at all. You are too poor, so we have to pay some military pay when we are soldiers and fight. I don't give this point, I just can't buy some cigarettes or improve my food,"
