It's just that what Li Ziyuan thinks in his heart at the moment, He Huizhang naturally won't be clear. However, looking at Li Ziyuan, whose face was a little changeable, He Huizhang hesitated for a moment before leaving: "Captain, I think that when we come into contact with the puppet Jin Southern Jianguo Army in the west of Hubei, we should still be a little different from the garrison. ”

"Those of the Pseudo-Hubei Garrison Brigade, just when I stayed there, I felt that although the soldiers were all mixed food, this officer was obviously rushing to get promoted and make a fortune. Except for me, an irreplaceable outsider, the other officers were either Wang Tieshi's henchmen or his brothers. ”

"Don't say that Wang Tieshi let them be traitors, even if they let them kill their fathers and mothers, these people won't blink. When most of those people were in the militia group, they obeyed Wang Tieshi's orders. But I think that those puppet soldiers of the National Construction Army are different, they are different from those guys in the garrison who have milk and are mothers. ”

"I always feel that those people don't necessarily really want to join the Japanese. When I was in the garrison, when I heard the people in the garrison talk about them, they all said that the Japanese were still very wary of them. The control over them is also much tighter than that of the pseudo-garrison. ”

"But if you want to say that the specific place is different, I can't say for a while. Just feel like this should help you make up your mind and have some help. I thought, if this pseudo-regiment was like the Hubei garrison to the Japanese, the officers of those garrisons would not have said so. ”

"If we can think of a way, even if we can't pull them over anyway, it will always bring some convenience to our activities. Maybe we can make some deals with them and get some ammunition from them. Although the Japanese control their ammunition distribution is quite tight, they are still much stronger than us. ”

"The captain still said the same thing, the Eighth Route Army is too poor. I don't have a military uniform, I don't have a number, this is understandable. After all, we are also a ragtag army of a ragtag army. It's not for nothing that there are miscellaneous troops in the national army who are almost as mixed as you. Although I was a miscellaneous army when I was in Zhongtiao Mountain, the Central Army also discriminated against our troops, but there was always a little supplement. ”

"It's good to come to you, but you'll have to figure out the ammunition yourself. I want to be able to catch up with them, and there will be one more source of ammunition guarantee in the future. And when it comes to combat effectiveness, they are much stronger than the pseudo-garrison. Most of them are not locals either, and they don't have as many concerns about joining us as the pseudo-garrison. ”

Regarding He Huizhang's words, Li Ziyuan pondered slightly, but smiled and said: "Your brother said this, wouldn't it be to tell me that you have a relationship over there." If all your stuff was hearsay, you wouldn't have made this suggestion. With your veteran oily personality, it's not that simple, let's talk about it, what's your relationship over there? ”

He Huizhang, who was exposed by Li Ziyuan, just smiled and said disapprerovingly: "Captain, it's a little embarrassing to say this." When I was captured, it was this regiment that took care of our prisoners of war, and there was a fellow countryman there. He used to be a company commander in the 29th Army, but after the defeat in the Battle of Baoding, his company did not have time to withdraw and was isolated in the rear. ”

In desperation, he followed a civilian army and habitually withdrew to the southeast of Jin. After the Battle of Pingjin, the 29th Army was cut off in the back by many small troops. Some defected to the enemy, some set themselves up as kings, and some were disarmed and incorporated by other troops. After he withdrew to the southeast of Shanxi with this civilian army, he was reorganized into a security regiment by the Second War Zone. ”

"After I was captured, because the Japanese army was still fighting, they were in custody at first. I talked to this guy for a long time, and he advised me to stay with them for a while if I wanted not to be sent to the Northeast as a laborer. When we have the opportunity, we will run back to Zhongtiao Mountain, if we are willing to return to the Chinese army. ”

He said that most of the people in their team also had this idea. It's just that the devils don't trust them, and their stations are frequently transferred. They never had to fight the national army, only let them deal with the Eighth Route and the garrison. He advised us to join them first, otherwise we would be sent to Datong and even the northeast to work as laborers. ”

He said that the devils are basically no longer slaughtering the captured captives. Some of them were incorporated into the puppet army, and most of them were sent to the Northeast or other places to be husbands. I thought that if I was sent to the northeast, it would be difficult to run back. Although the puppet army has a bad reputation, it is stationed in the southeast of Jin, and there is still a chance to run back to the national army. ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that when that battle was over, I would be incorporated into the Pseudo-Hubei Garrison Brigade by the devil company with cannons. In order to rescue me and my brothers, my fellow also suffered a big mouth from a captain of the devil. Although he hid it well at the time, I could see the anger in my heart. ”

He Huizhang's words, Li Ziyuan nodded to indicate that he knew, but he didn't give him an answer, just asked He Huizhang to go back immediately and get ready. Li Ziyuan believes that his words are true. But there are some things that Li Ziyuan must consider carefully.

Especially for him, who had never been in contact with enemy work before, this consideration could not rely on the feeling of a veteran oiler alone. Although Li Ziyuan is clear, for a veteran like He Huizhang, this feeling is usually accurate. But on this issue, Li Ziyuan still needs to think about it.

Similarly, Li Ziyuan did not make that determination in the western plains of the north of the Hubei in the west. It is still necessary to wait for Guo Laosan and Liu Lianming to come back and see the results of their reconnaissance before making plans. What is the current hostile situation around him, this is what Li Ziyuan is most concerned about.

But to Li Ziyuan's surprise, he waited for most of the day. It wasn't until it was completely dark that Guo Laosan and Liu Lianming returned with a small team that went out. And from Liu Lianming's mouth, the news that Li Ziyuan got can be said to be extremely grim.

This time they went out to reconnoitre, Liu Lianming and they were not able to get close at all, and they had surrounded and annihilated the area where the Japanese plainclothes armed forces had been. Because he was almost not ambushed by the Japanese puppet army, he had to be forced to return. But although Guo Laosan had a good sense of smell, before entering the ambush circle of the Japanese puppet army, he sensed that something was wrong and quickly withdrew.

But when they evacuated, they were still bitten by the Japanese puppet army, which was also quick to react, to be precise, the Japanese army and the puppet Hubei plainclothes team. It was only by relying on Guo Laosan's understanding and familiarity with this mountain forest that they took the Japanese puppet army behind them and walked around the mountains and forests for most of the day before they got rid of the Japanese puppet army chasing behind them.

While walking around the mountains with his tail, the small team led by Liu Lianming was in danger many times, and several times almost did not encounter the Japanese puppet army coming from other directions. Judging from the encounter for most of the day, Liu Lianming felt that all the roads out of the mountain had been blocked by the Japanese puppet army.

Moreover, the Japanese puppet army is quickly encircling this position where they are. The reason is very simple, this area is now already a Japanese puppet army, and the only remaining area that has not yet been cleared has been completed. Although this place is close to the main base of the Ludong Army Division, it seems that the Japanese puppet army does not have too many scruples.

As for whether he got rid of the Japanese puppet army chasing behind him when he was transferring, Liu Lianming can confirm this. However, this mountain forest is the last place that has not been swept in the eastern mountainous area of Hubei at present, and it is very likely that the Japanese army thinks that their troops are hiding in this area.

Hearing Liu Lianming's report, Li Ziyuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Thanks to the fact that he did not believe the telegram of the Japanese army, otherwise it is very likely that he would have fallen into the net if he made a rash attack. Judging from the current situation, the Japanese puppet army is retreating here. They are simply going to put themselves to death as fast as possible.

That telegram was just a quick decoy set up by the Japanese army after learning that the plainclothes armed forces had been solved by themselves, using the radio station that was likely to be captured by themselves. If there are people in your army who are proficient in radio, then this telegram is undoubtedly a great temptation for you.

If there are no people in their own troops who are proficient in radio, there is nothing to lose for them. Thinking of this, Li Ziyuan understood that within the intelligence department of the Japanese army stationed in Changzhi, there were not only masters who were proficient in tactics. And this guy is very likely to be the toughest opponent he has ever faced since he joined the army.

This guy not only reacts very quickly, but also sets himself up such a chain in a short period of time. And his mind was too meticulous, and he even calculated that he couldn't send the radio away in the first time after seizing it. Even Li Ziyuan had a feeling that the Japanese army finally decided to take the risk of poking the hornet's nest and continue to sweep in this place close to the core area of the Ludong Division, which should have been planned by this guy.

The reason is very simple, this time, the Japanese puppet army in Hubei drew troops from nearby and sent out to sweep the mountainous areas in the eastern part of Hubei, and it lasted for such a long time, it would be impossible for the division to not notice it at all. If the divisional troops take the opportunity to infiltrate, it is very likely that the Japanese puppet army will not care about the end.

Taking advantage of the fighters dispatched by the main force of the Japanese puppet army, the main force jumped out of the outside line to fight. Penetrating deep into the rear of the Japanese puppet army, either cutting off the enemy's rear route or ambushing its supply lines, this is the usual tactic of the Eighth Route Army's anti-sweeping operations. It is also a helpless but effective choice when there is a big gap between the equipment and the quality of the soldiers and the Japanese army.

But this time, the Japanese puppet army went out of the nest, and also transferred the garrisons of Ludong and Huguan, but put on a posture of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. Even with the support of the main force of Changzhi's 36th Division, there was obviously something wrong. If it were not for a certain grasp of the movement of divisional troops, the Japanese puppet army would not have been so reluctant to the rear.

According to the usual custom, the Japanese puppet army sweep has been going on for two days, and the divisional troops should already take action. The Japanese puppet army dispatched so many troops this time, even if the previous action intentions were concealed. But now that the Japanese puppet army has been fully deployed, and at least forty-eight hours have passed, it is impossible for the division to be unaware of its capabilities.

But now that such a long time has passed, there is no movement on the other side of the division. There is only one possibility, and that is that the Japanese intelligence department has made careful consideration and deployment for this operation. Either they deceived the division, or they even had some understanding of the movement of the division's troops. Otherwise, they don't have so much confidence, at least not yet.

It's just that for Li Ziyuan, there is no movement on the side of the division at the moment, what is the problem, and it is impossible for him to understand it for the time being until Guan Li, who went to the division to report, comes back safely. But the overall situation at the moment made him feel quite a lot of pressure.
