After listening to this guy's confession, Li Ziyuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind his back. He didn't expect that the devil would not be able to destroy himself on the battlefield, but he was ready to make a trick behind his back. Lijiawa relied entirely on a few wells for drinking water, and in order not to compete with the common people for water, his own troops dug a well after they were stationed in Lijiawa.

If this guy really threw poison into the well, then it was basically a one-shot shot. If he succeeds, he will lose a lot of money in the absence of medicines. Moreover, the law of his own troop activities was actually figured out by this guy, which is undoubtedly too much of a threat to himself.

This person can't stay, even if he made a promise not to kill him, this person can't stay. If you stay, if you don't know Lijiawa and several other villages, they will all suffer the same ending as Wangjiagou. There are also secrets in this person's possession, and the threat to the county party committee is too great.

After making sure that this guy had already confessed, Li Ziyuan hesitated for a long time, but decided to break his promise. However, Li Ziyuan did not do it directly, but blocked the guy's mouth and blindfolded him, and tied him to a big tree. A Gongzao grenade was hidden on him, and a trick was made on him.

Whoever tries to untie the rope from his body will pull the grenade. In this way, even if you don't break your original promise, you can directly kill people. And the location where he tied up this guy, I'm afraid that Liu Kaishan, who is searching for him right now, will find out as long as he is not blind in a short time.

Li Ziyuan did this, feeling that he was not breaking his promise. After all, he didn't do it himself, and if this guy is resentful when he gets there, he shouldn't resent himself for breaking his promise. If you want to say that you are unlucky, it is to blame himself. Who made him willing to serve the devil and betray the country for glory?

After doing all this, Li Ziyuan, who was somewhat covering his ears and stealing the bell. With He Huizhang and Liu Lianming, they quickly returned to the eastern mountainous area of Hubei via Ludong. There are some problems in this guy's confession, and Li Ziyuan must solve them as soon as possible. Especially those downlines that he bought with a lot of money, Li Ziyuan had to get rid of them as soon as possible.

And not long after Li Ziyuan left, when the sky was just brightening, Liu Kaishan, who was already in a hurry at this time, had already found this area with the people who searched the mountain. With good visibility in the early morning, it didn't take much effort to find this guy.

Seeing that the person he was looking for was still alive, Liu Kaishan breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he immediately asked people to untie the rope on his body after the guy who had been tied up for most of the night, had a blue nose and swollen face from the cold under the winter mountain wind in Taihang Mountain, and gagged his mouth.

It's just that when the two plainclothes team members went up to untie the rope, they pulled the trick mine set by Li Ziyuan with a grenade. The exploded grenade not only sent that guy, along with the secrets on his body, to Lord Hades. Because of the proximity, he also brought two to untie him, and a plainclothes team member who was on guard on the side was also killed.

Looking at the scattered corpses on the ground, his face was slashed by a piece of shrapnel because he couldn't dodge, and Liu Kaishan, whose face was covered with blood at this time. The already quite hideous face became even more hideous. However, this man's death made him completely relieved. At least there are some things that I can completely cover up.

Compared with Liu Kaishan, who was completely relieved, Li Ziyuan, who had now made a detour to Ludong to return to the eastern mountainous area. Regardless of the fatigue of this trip, he immediately found Liu Yanlai, who had returned before him, and Chang Juan and a few people to discuss how to solve the things in that guy's confession.

After listening to Li Ziyuan's words, Liu Yanlai and Chang Juan were also taken aback. Obviously, neither of them thought that the Japanese puppet army would actually install so many spies under their noses. And let this guy develop a few downlines in the eastern area of Hubei. This undoubtedly made both of them feel seriously uneasy.

Liu Yanlai hesitated for a moment, but decided to report the matter to the prefectural party committee and the military sub-district, and asked the higher-level security department to assist in finding these spies. At the same time, an order was also issued to the various district committees, requiring them to immediately investigate the people who had recently returned to the eastern part of Hubei from other places. Even if the locals go to other places, the people who return to the country during this period are also subject to an inventory.

Regarding Liu Yanlai's decision, Li Ziyuan still expressed his support. But Li Ziyuan also knows that with the current manpower of the Hubei County Party Committee, this work is not easy to complete. Therefore, Li Ziyuan decided that Liu Yanlai would lead a team to cooperate with the county party committee's clearance operation. to identify the other two agents as soon as possible.

He himself, on the other hand, took advantage of the time before the year ago to seize the time to carry out the final run-in and adjustment of the unit's establishment. After careful consideration, Li Ziyuan did not divide the troops into three formed infantry companies according to the establishment of independent battalions in other regions. He doesn't have that many troops at hand for the time being.

Instead, the unit was organized into two fully formed companies with three infantry platoons and one machine gun platoon. One has only one fully formed infantry platoon, plus two infantry squads for the backbone, and a rack company for machine gun squads. In addition, there is one fire platoon directly under the battalion, one platoon directly under the battalion, and one communication squad.

Each infantry company does not have a squad of machine guns, but a platoon of three light machine guns, as well as a ** airborne machine gun and a grenadier canister. The two fully formed companies were headed by Zeng Sheng, and Qian Defu was the commander of the second company, and as for the commander of the third company of the shelf company, Li Ziyuan had never had a suitable person, so he could only temporarily concurrently serve by himself.

He Huizhang served as the platoon commander's firepower platoon, and he had one Type 92 heavy machine gun and three grenadier canisters. As for the platoon commander directly under the concentration of five Jinzao submachine guns, as well as most of the barge guns and fast and slow machines in Li Ziyuan's hands, as well as all the horse guns, Liu Lianming served as the commander.

In fact, the equipment of this platoon is far from reaching Li Ziyuan's hopes. According to his requirements, each person in this platoon should be equipped with a carbine gun and a barge gun. Whether it is a Jin-made submachine gun or a flower machine, at the moment, ammunition consumption is a huge burden for Li Ziyuan.

But the fast and slow machines and shell guns in his hands can't reach this number when they are gathered together. Although the carbine can be temporarily replaced by a Czech rifle, the Czech rifle is still a bit long for Li Ziyuan's idea of using this platoon directly under the platoon. But for now, we can only deal with it for the time being, and wait until we get enough carbines.

The shortcomings of the fast and slow machine and the barge gun were also temporarily replaced by the Jin-made submachine gun and the flower machine. But these two weapons are not enough ammunition, which also gives Li Ziyuan a headache. Especially the Jin-made submachine gun, as the puppet army began to change its equipment one after another, the source of bullets became less and less, but at least for the time being, it can only be used to deal with it.

As for the armament of the two fully formed companies, Li Ziyuan also put a certain amount of effort into ensuring a unified caliber as much as possible. The first company was all Japanese-style equipment, and the whole company had all Type 38 rifles, and the light machine guns were all crooked. The second company is made of Hanyang-made, Yuannian-style rifles, plus a small number of medium-sized and Czech-style rifles, and the light machine guns are all Czech-style machine guns.

The third shelf company is temporarily using the Gongzao 79 rifle as a weapon. Most of those Manlixia rifles were converted to reserve by Li Ziyuan, and they were used in the distribution unit after the third frame company was replenished. As for the Jin 38 and the extra Hanyang-made and Gong-made rifles, plus thirty Manlixia rifles, they were all handed over by him to the reorganized district squad and distributed to the basic militia.

According to the previous plan, each village was conceived of forming a militia squad. Even if Li Ziyuan took out almost all of the weapons in reserve, the weapons distributed to the militia would be far behind. Solving the militia's weapons and equipment has become the first need that Li Ziyuan faces.

After completing the reconnaissance, Li Ziyuan thought hard for a long time and decided to take the fallen stronghold as the first target. Just as He Huizhang said, although the Murata 22 rifle is a little older, it can still be used to fight devils. Solving the current difficulties first is the first priority. As for the quality of the weapon, don't pick it for the time being.

But what made Li Ziyuan a little depressed was that although Liu Yanlai acted quickly, he also sent Liu Lianming to assist. But only the downline of the agent's confession was caught, and as for the traces of the other two agents, they have not been found out after several investigations. The population of the mountainous area in the eastern part of Hubei is said to be small and small, but that is compared with the plain area in the western part of Hubei.

But for Liu Yanlai's inventory operation, this population base is not small. In this kind of investigation, where there are no obvious clues and can only rely on finding a needle in the haystack, it is not surprising that the progress is slow. However, Liu Yan's coming over there had no effect, but Li Ziyuan couldn't wait any longer. Before the spring of 41, the matter of militia weapons had to be resolved.

Just when Li Ziyuan was about to build a stronghold, the Spring Festival of 41 years had inadvertently approached. It has just experienced the sweep of the Japanese army, and although the eastern mountainous area of Hubei has not yet recovered, it also reveals a trace of New Year's flavor from top to bottom. Although it is still in the war period, as a traditional festival for Chinese, the New Year is still to be celebrated.

Every household in the local area, as long as there is still some ability, has begun to prepare New Year's goods. And Li Ziyuan grasped the opportunity of the Spring Festival very well, and put the day of the sneak attack on the fallen stronghold on Chinese New Year's Eve. Because the puppet army is also going to celebrate the New Year, the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold at this time should be able to relax their defenses.

Li Ziyuan belongs to the kind of person who makes up his mind and immediately starts to act. This sneak attack on the stronghold was the first battle officially fought by the original Hubei old backbone guerrillas after they were upgraded to an independent battalion, so Li Ziyuan attached great importance to it. After discussing with Ma Yongcheng, he decided to pull the whole camp out.

In order to confuse the Japanese spies who had not yet been found, Li Ziyuan led the team to the east on the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year. After resting for half a day at the junction of Hubei and Licheng, in the early morning of the 30th year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he led the team to suddenly turn to the direction of the stronghold of the fallen horse, took the mountain trail and rushed to the periphery of the stronghold on the afternoon of the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

After rushing to the periphery of the Luoma stronghold, Li Ziyuan raised his binoculars and carefully observed the movements of the Japanese puppet army under the mountain. At least for now, the Japanese puppet army under the mountain who is busy killing pigs and sheep to prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is still normal. In the stronghold on the periphery of the fallen horse, the number of puppet soldiers in charge of guarding was also reduced to a minimum, and most of them returned to the main artillery tower to prepare for the New Year.

Seeing this situation under the mountain, Li Ziyuan immediately followed the original deployment. With a platoon of the 1st Company and the 2nd Company, as well as a heavy machine gun from the fire platoon, Zeng Sheng commanded the deployment along the mountains on both sides of the Luoma to Pingchuan road, preparing to block the reinforcements in the direction of Pingchuan and Qiaokou. The two platoons of the second company were directly subordinate to the platoon, and they were under their own unified command to serve as the main attack.
