Li Ziyuan knew very well that the corpse of the devil was so clean that only a piece of crotch cloth was left on his body. If it is a Japanese puppet army, at most, it will take some confidential documents and the like. Even if it was impossible to bury the body, it would not have been picked up so cleanly.

After determining this, he immediately arranged for someone to check it, and maybe even recover the codebook. At the same time, Li Ziyuan also became a little interested in the puppet army that performed differently. Taking advantage of the fact that there was still some time to spare, he immediately personally interrogated a captured puppet army captain.

If the puppet army wants to say that when there is a bit of fighting, it is basically when it relies on fortifications. There are still puppet troops fighting like this in the field, no wonder Li Ziyuan is quite curious. After listening to the report of the deputy battalion commander who commanded the operation in this direction, he even thought that these puppet troops were all disguised by the Japanese army.

But the northeast accents of these puppet soldiers, especially the classic mother's mouth, make Li Ziyuan sure that these people are authentic Chinese. On the one hand, he arranged for people to find out the whereabouts of the codebook, and on the other hand, he personally interrogated these puppet soldiers to find out where these people came from.

As for cleaning up the battlefield, every company platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army can be called an expert-level figure. When cleaning the battlefield, I basically didn't leave even a pair of pants for the Japanese army, so I basically didn't have to worry about it. With these experts here, it is guaranteed that not even a single bullet will be dropped.

However, Li Ziyuan also confessed that people should not only pay attention to weapons and ammunition when cleaning the battlefield. It is necessary to pay attention to the maps, binoculars and compass on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, the officers and non-commissioned officers, and the documents on the soldiers.

The maps surveyed and mapped by the Japanese army were far more accurate than those surveyed and mapped by the Chinese themselves. It is a good choice to be able to capture the combat map of the Japanese army, whether it is handed over to the superior or kept for yourself. There are also things like the compass, which are also lacking in the Eighth Route Army.

This kind of thing is not very noticeable compared to binoculars and weapons, and some grassroots cadres don't know much about it. But the importance of the compass, Li Ziyuan is clear. Therefore, he made a special confession that all the compasses in the Japanese army must be found. Of course, the artillery mirror used by the Japanese artillery squadron was already aimed at by him, and he asked Da Li to put it away early.

Li Ziyuan didn't worry about cleaning the battlefield, and he didn't worry too much about interrogating those puppet army prisoners Li Ziyuan. But whether the people sent out to find the codebook could complete the task as soon as possible was something Li Ziyuan was a little worried about. If the people in the army did a better job, it would be worse if the common people did it.

Fortunately, it didn't take Li Ziyuan to wait long, when the platoon that didn't catch up with Hideo Ikeda came back to report. Although he was ashamed that he did not catch Hideo Ikeda, he also sent everything that was found from the corpses of Japanese soldiers to him in the first time.

After seeing a military map in front of him, and a book that was all in Japanese. Even if he couldn't read Japanese, Li Ziyuan immediately judged that the thing that looked like a novel was the codebook he was looking for. Seeing this thing, Li Ziyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he didn't know that if it wasn't for the urgent order he made. This booklet, which is like a Japanese dictionary, cannot be understood by the soldiers and the cadres below them who have a poor level of education. It is either used as straw paper to wipe the buttocks, or it is used as cigarette paper.

It's a pity to hand over this codebook, and that platoon commander. He understood the map, but it was a broken book with Japanese characters written on it, and he didn't see anything important. He put away the book, which he originally wanted to use to roll cigarettes, after all, cigarette rolls are more convenient than cigarette pouches.

In his opinion, this paper is good, much stronger than those horse manure papers, and it is a pity to wipe the buttocks, but it would be better if it was used to roll cigarettes. It's just that the strict discipline is here, coupled with the order given by Li Ziyuan, although he feels a little pity, he still resolutely hands it over.

Li Ziyuan, who didn't know this precious codebook, was almost not used as cigarette paper, and did not hand over this rare codebook to anyone, but put it into the document bag that Da Li was carrying, along with all the other pieces of paper with words and the military map. and told Da Li that even if he lost his life, he must not lose a piece of paper for these things.

After finding the codebook that he thought had been lost, Li Ziyuan, who breathed a sigh of relief, after the troops finished cleaning the battlefield. Seeing that because of a big victory and the seizure of so many weapons, equipment and ammunition, several cadres of this battalion, who were quite satisfied, shook their heads and did not say anything.

The true identity of the stubborn puppet army has also been ascertained at this time. This puppet army is not a local, but a puppet Manchurian army system transferred from the northeast. Moreover, this puppet Manchu army is not an ordinary puppet Manchu army, the reason why it resists on the battlefield is unusually tenacious is because the identity of most people is quite special.

Before these people with special identities became the puppet Manchu army, they were also soldiers, and they were anti-Japanese soldiers who had persisted behind enemy lines for a long time and fought bloody battles against the Japanese army for many years. The anti-Japanese unit where they were originally located had a name called the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Allied Army.

This puppet army transferred from the Kwantung Army was mainly composed of these former traitors who were familiar with guerrilla warfare. It was formed by a group of puppet Manchurian mountain and forest policemen who had been in the northeast for a long time to suppress the Anti-Japanese Federation, had rich experience in anti-guerrilla warfare, and had the blood of their compatriots on their hands.

Most of the local puppet army can't be counted on, not only most of them are eye-catching with the Eighth Route or other aspects, but also the combat effectiveness is low, and it has simply become the arsenal of the Eighth Road. The defense area of the entire 36th Division was too large, and its strength was somewhat insufficient. The commander of the 36th Division personally coordinated the transfer of about 500 puppet Manchurian troops from the Kwantung Army.

The Northeast is long and extremely cold, with temperatures often dropping to minus 30 degrees Celsius, as well as a vast and sparsely populated overall environment. Persisting in the War of Resistance in the Northeast is much more difficult than any battlefield in the Guannai. The wind and snow of more than minus 30 degrees, the lack of supplies and no winter clothing, made the living environment of the Anti-United Nations extremely harsh.

In the area of anti-union activities, the Japanese puppet army began to carry out group tribes and annex households. Most of the inhabitants were driven into the group tribes that they tightly controlled, even heavily guarded, and cut off the supply source of the Anti-Union. It makes the living environment of the Anti-United Nations even worse.

There is no food source, and even in the weather of more than 30 degrees below zero, I can't even wear cotton clothes. With an empty stomach in the deep mountains and old forests, he had to face the continuous clearing and sweeping of the Japanese puppet army. The Japanese planes in the sky even searched non-stop for 24 hours, so that even the anti-Japanese coalition fires without cotton clothes and supplies could not be lit.

Fighting in such an environment is not only a test of the combat effectiveness of the troops, but also a test of people's willpower. The harsh living environment, the Japanese puppet army frequently swept the net. As a result, a large number of people who were not strong-willed were either captured and defected, or could not bear the increasingly difficult environment, and were co-opted and mutined by Japanese puppet agents.

At present, most of the troops of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation have collapsed or collapsed, or have been killed in battle or frozen to death in the deep mountains and old forests. Most of the high-ranking generals were killed in battle, or betrayed by traitors. Most of the several armies reorganized by the mountain forest team have already surrendered to the enemy. The rest of the personnel, except for a small number of people who were left to insist, most of them retreated to Jiangbei one after another.

And when the Japanese puppet army in the northeast was fighting against the United Nations, these traitors who bit back were the craziest and the greatest threat to the United Nations. These people are familiar with the activities of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and are familiar with the methods and locations of the secret camps set up by the Anti-Japanese Federation in order to survive the winter. Even by the sound of gunfire, you can judge which anti-coalition forces are moving around.

After these mutinies, he didn't care about anything, and only thought about behaving in front of his new master. On the first day, he was still stirring a horse spoon in a pot, eating the blood of his comrades in a secret camp, and he was a traitor who exchanged himself for glory and wealth. With the Japanese puppet army, he destroyed a large number of secret camps of the Anti-Japanese Federation that tried every means to hoard food and cotton clothes in order to survive the winter.

Without these secret camps, in the deep mountains and old forests with more than minus 30 degrees Celsius and snowstorms, there would be no way for the Anti-Union to survive at all. Without the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese puppet army, even if it freezes, it will freeze to death. These traitors led the Japanese puppet army in the northeast to destroy the secret camp of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and almost completely destroyed the foundation of the Anti-Japanese Federation's survival.

It turned out that when the Japanese puppet army was clearing and suppressing the Anti-Japanese Alliance, they all went into the mountains during the day to clear and suppress, and retreated to the open area at night to rest, and they did not dare to spend the night in the mountains and forests. The anti-coalition troops, who fought continuously and moved during the day, could take a break at night. However, with the emergence of a large number of traitors who were familiar with the Anti-Japanese Federation, the Japanese puppet army began to pursue and clear in the mountains and forests day and night.

The Anti-Union is in a predicament, and it can even be said that it is a desperate situation. These traitors, who are familiar with guerrilla warfare and the methods of survival and combat of the Anti-United Nations, can be said to have made great contributions. At present, most of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation has been unable to hold on and has withdrawn from the Northeast one after another. The few people who stayed behind to persist were no longer able to launch an active attack on the Japanese puppet army, so they could only hide in the deep mountains and old forests to reduce their activities.

Most of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation retreated abroad, and most of the remaining anti-Japanese forces had already been dispersed, or surrendered, or buried their weapons and went out of the mountains to become obedient to the people, and now there is no large resistance force in the Northeast. The Kwantung Army once organized these traitors into an advance team and transferred them to the eastern Hebei region controlled by the Kwantung Army to clear out the eastern Jidong guerrilla forces of the Eighth Route Army.

These traitors, who were organized into advance teams, had an absolute advantage in both strength and firepower. However, when the local guerrilla forces were being wiped out, it was the so-called iron-blooded cooperation of the puppet Manchu army of the puppet security army in North China, which had been repeatedly defeated, and brought considerable losses to the Eighth Route Army in eastern Hebei.

After receiving a telegram from the 36th Division asking for help, the Kwantung Army Command was basically useless in the northeast in view of this. But if all of them are dismissed, many of these traitors who are originally from mountain * pretending to be born and can't do anything but play with guns are another * uncertain factor.

They simply added some of the hardcore elements in the puppet Manchurian mountain and forest police force to form a special advance team and transferred it to the 36th Division. According to the overall situation of the battlefield in Guannai, it was replaced with the Liao 13 rifle, Czech light machine gun and Fengtian-made fast and slow machine captured from the Northeast Army during the 918 Incident of the Kwantung Army, and then transferred to Guannai as a whole.

He supported the friendly forces on the battlefield in Kannai, and at the same time unloaded a burden. However, the Kwantung Army made this decision, and it was not entirely unburdened. Although the patterns of guerrilla warfare inside and outside the Guanxi are different, they are still roughly similar in the fundamental direction. These people themselves had fought guerrilla warfare in the Northeast, and most of them were proficient in guerrilla warfare.
