From the people in Pingchuan Town, after seeing Balu, instead of showing welcome, they had a frightened expression. All the cadres and soldiers around Liu Lianming understood that Wang Tieshi must have done no less. The treatment of the people who helped the people who have helped the Eighth Route must have carried out cruel revenge.

Otherwise, as soon as the people here heard about the Eighth Route Army, they immediately closed the door. Don't even dare to say a word. The expression of the common people who are afraid of themselves like a tiger makes Liu Lianming helpless. Unless you come hard, I'm afraid you won't be able to collect a big car.

At the moment, there are two unexpected things for Liu Lianming. One is the number of civilians detained in Pingchuan, which is more than expected. The degree of weakening of the body also exceeded the previous judgment. The other is that the people here are afraid of Wang Tieshi's guy far beyond what they knew before.

But if you can't get the big car, what will happen to those who are rescued? Their physical strength, let alone a long march, is probably difficult to break out of the town. Even if you leave on a stretcher, where can you find so many people? And at the moment, there is not so much time, so I can get them some food to increase their stamina.

At present, explosions and gunshots are faintly heard in several directions around Pingchuan Town. This is enough to clearly tell Liu Lianming that the surrounding Japanese puppet army is rapidly reinforcing Pingchuan. At the beginning, in order to mobilize the puppet army, the second battalion and the fourth company were guaranteed to seize Qiaokou. In addition to the telephone line in the direction of Hubei County, the telephone line in the direction of Qiaokou and Luoma has not been broken.

Although the distance between Pingchuan and Hubei County is not close, it is definitely not far, and there are several strongholds of the Japanese puppet army in the middle. As soon as the gunshots rang out here, and the telephone line was broken, the Japanese puppet army over there knew that something was wrong here. It would be bad if we couldn't take all these young men away before the Japanese puppet army reinforcements arrived.

Seeing Liu Lianming's frowning brows, the squad leader who also knew what he had a headache was. After walking in front of Liu Lianming and muttering a few words, Liu Lianming's eyes couldn't help but light up. After turning his head and discussing with the commander of the first company, the rescued masses covered by the first company broke out. He took his reconnaissance company and slid towards a compound on the left.

The distance between the two compounds is not far, and Liu Lianming's new target is less than 300 meters away from the location where these people are being held. This was originally a Taoist temple in Pingchuan Town, and after the Japanese army came, they killed the Taoist priest and plundered all the Taoist cultural relics here. Even the statue in the temple, which was said to be a wood carving in the Ming Dynasty, was moved away.

Leaving an empty temple, Wang Tieshi originally used it as a prison. The prisoners of the Eighth Route Army captured during the sweep, as well as local cadres and anti-Japanese personnel, were imprisoned. Now it is used as his baggage reserve, stockpiling seventy percent of the supplies in his pseudo-joint defense command, as well as spare ammunition.

This guy is very clear, Hubei, especially Pingchuan, is his old territory. The Hubei garrison is his starting capital, that is, the old foundation. Naturally, he will take care of his old foundation for any good thing. At the time of the distribution of supplies and ammunition, the later ones were definitely raised by the stepmother.

As for those who were later incorporated, the reserve materials and ammunition were handed over to them, and Wang Tieshi would not be at ease. So seventy percent of the things that were allocated by the Japanese puppet side were transferred to Pingchuan Town by this guy. The monthly salaries were also handed over to him by the puppet regimes of the two counties, and then distributed by him.

As for the number of machine guns that surprised Zhang Zijian, it was this guy who transferred sixty percent of the machine guns of the original Ludong garrison as soon as the two county garrisons were merged. It turned out that the six or seven hundred puppet troops of the Ludong garrison were left with only three old-fashioned machine guns.

However, this key point, although it was controlled by Wang Tieshi, was in his hands. But according to the consistent practice of the Japanese puppet army, he can control it as he wants. The power to distribute supplies and ammunition was in the hands of a Japanese lieutenant who was sent by the Japanese army as an adviser and who actually held the actual power.

Of course, although this Wang Tieshi is not good at fighting, but this guy is in terms of playing wrists, you can't help but admit that this guy does have a certain ability. The so-called advisers of the Japanese army stationed in Pingchuan, whether they were sent by the 36th Division or the newly transferred 69th Division, were immediately dragged into the water by him.

His demands are almost universal, and his supervisory responsibilities are simply non-existent. Although the guards were the key points, the Japanese troops stationed in Pingchuan were in their hands. For his subordinates to receive ammunition, they needed the consent of the so-called Japanese advisers. But this does not prevent this guy from pretending to be public and private in some ways.

Originally, the Japanese army had advisers and kept ammunition and supplies in their own hands. In addition to the Japanese army's wariness of the Chinese, and the fear that these guys will sell all the reserves here for money. The puppet army received ammunition from the Japanese army and sold it to the Eighth Road, which the Japanese army found out more than once.

This is raising thugs for himself, it is simply a military factory for the Eighth Road. In order to curb the puppet army's business of taking advantage of the sideways, a series of regulations were made as early as when Tsuruta Numan was in the 36th Division. Not only did the puppet army replace it with the old-fashioned Murata-made weapon, which had poor performance, but the ammunition could only rely on the weapons replenished by the Japanese army.

There are also strict regulations that every time the puppet army returns from a battle, they are only allowed to receive new ammunition after handing in the shells. Moreover, the distribution of ammunition for the puppet army must be strictly controlled by the advisers of the various departments stationed in the puppet army. Where there are Japanese garrisons, the ammunition of the puppet army is kept by the Japanese army. To a certain extent, this curbed the puppet army's busy arms smuggling business.

This practice of the Japanese puppet army in Pingchuan is just one of the ordinary phenomena. Of course, in addition to this reason, there is another reason, Pingchuan is a very important starting point for the Japanese army to sweep from Hubei to the Taihang base area, and it is also an important material supply point, and there are also some Japanese combat baggage reserves here.

Of course, at the moment, as the battle front grows longer, the consumption of the war is increasing. The Japanese army's own ammunition supply is also somewhat tight, and some non-important battlefields are constantly being shipped out in large quantities to the main battlefields. In addition, Li Ziyuan entered Pingchuan several times, and many of those materials became weapons and ammunition that changed hands to fight for himself.

The Japanese army did not have many supplies here at the moment, and more of them were transported to Hubei County. Only some small arms and ammunition remained, and the number was only half of the combat share of a brigade. Then there are some military bandages and the like, and as for canned food, there are long gone.

The amount of materials is not much, but on the whole it is not small. However, the importance of this baggage supply point for the Japanese army has been greatly reduced. But at present, this place is now almost a devil's cave for the entire Chinese people in Pingchuan. Because as long as the Chinese people are close to 50 meters here, the Japanese army here may shoot at any time.

But Pingchuan Town is so big, and it is impossible for the common people to detour too far. Since the Japanese army was redeployed, the people of Pingchuan Town have been innocently killed or injured by the Japanese army because of all kinds of reasons, in fact, they are basically some people who have no fault and even the Japanese soldiers are happy and happy.

Moreover, the Japanese troops here are all veterans, and there are even veterans who have been conscripted for the third time. These veterans, unlike those recruits, don't care about military discipline at all. It is common for people to come out all day long to make trouble, to buy things without giving money, and there are not a few people who run out from time to time to rape women and rob them.

The long-term garrison career and the long war have long caused the Japanese army, which has always been known for its strict internal military discipline, to lose its military morale. In particular, those officers who came from reserve forces and even special volunteer officers have long been unable to control those veterans. And the Japanese officers with more seniority have already gone into the water first, and the eight immortals have crossed the sea to show their ability to make money.

Some veterans are so strict that even the commander dares to beat them. The Japanese army burned, killed and looted, that was their method of dealing with the common people of the enemy country. However, within the Japanese army, military discipline was unusually strict. Now that this war has been fought for so many years, some Japanese soldiers have been drafted for the second time, or even the third time.

These veterans who have been soldiers for many years, not to mention non-commissioned officers like Jun Cao, dare not care, even the captain of the squad with little qualifications can't fiddle with it. In a hurry, he dared to shoot your black gun on the battlefield. After the 36th Division, which was originally stationed in the southeast of Shanxi Province, was transferred, the 69th Division, which took over the defense, was originally based on the 16th Brigade Regiment, which was an independent mixed brigade that was responsible for the garrison mission.

The 108th Division, which was withdrawn in 40, was expanded by veterans who were recruited for the second or even the third time. These veterans have all been on the battlefield, and they are not novices in war. But there are many veterans, and it is also notoriously difficult to manage. Not to mention those recruits, even corporals and officers like Juncao are a little afraid to care.

These so-called security divisions are also the Category C divisions in the Japanese army. The Japanese squad stationed in Pingchuan was dispatched by a Category C division such as the newly formed 69th Division. Within two days of the 36th Division, almost all of them fell under the pull of Wang Tieshi.

There are a few veterans who get drunk all day long, and if they are unlucky enough to meet them, these guys won't let you go until they break your tendons and fracture them. These guys make the surrounding people hate them to the core. It's just that he dares to be angry and doesn't dare to speak out at the moment, and he can only swallow his anger.

However, although a squad was originally stationed here, except for one detachment, the rest of the Japanese soldiers were taken away by the squad leader. Escort a few soldiers who were transferred to other units, as well as welcome replacement recruits, and escort a batch of food to Hubei. At present, there is only one detachment of more than ten soldiers guarding this material warehouse.

In addition to supplies, there are also two trucks of the puppet army, two trucks of the Japanese army itself, and more than 20 trailers. As long as these things can be snatched out, it will not be difficult to send these people away. As for how much material was stored here, the squad leader didn't inquire.

Hearing the news, Liu Lianming, who was having a headache about the transportation capacity, thought about something else, and killed him with the troops without saying a word. The first is to get rid of the Japanese troops stationed here and eliminate the harm to the surrounding people. Another reason is so simple, it's the big trucks and trucks that come here.

Especially the four trucks, Liu Lianming was quite excited. In his reconnaissance company, there are really a few people who can drive. This point is what Li Ziyuan resolutely demands. The reconnaissance company will not be able to drive, and if the truck of the Japanese puppet army is captured, it will not be able to make full use of it. If you can drive, it is very beneficial for the activities of the reconnaissance company.
