Originally, in the eyes of the Japanese army stationed in Zaozhuang, the Eighth Route Army, which had succeeded in the surprise attack on the infantry brigade, should take advantage of the victory to pursue and launch a greater recovery operation. To the surprise of the Japanese army www.biquge.info the victorious Eighth Route Army seemed to have shrunk its troops.

According to Eguchi Zotaro's guess, the Eighth Route Army's victory this time should take advantage of their panic to launch an attack on Tengxian or other important military towns. But the defenders of the cities waited for a few days, and found that nothing was going on.

Even the guerrillas, who had been active on the railroad railroad earlier, seemed to have had enough of the railroad tracks, and for several days there were no troops of the Eighth Route Army moving near the railroad line. This strange situation made Sataro Eguchi feel extremely puzzled.

When the disabled infantry brigade replenished some supplies in Teng County, a large force of nearly 2,000 people finally arrived in Zaozhuang very smoothly and easily. Along the way, not even one of the expected mines was stepped on.

This strange situation made Sataro Eguchi, who convened a meeting of the combat staff to discuss, also puzzled: "Everyone, what do you think is the conspiracy of the sudden disappearance of the Dirt Eight Road? ”

In the face of such inquiries, the combat staff officers could not guess what the intentions of the Eighth Route Army were. According to the information fed back by the infantry brigades, the Eighth Route Army obviously achieved a great victory in the previous ambush battle. It stands to reason that you should take advantage of the victory to chase after you!

But now, instead of taking advantage of the victory to pursue, the Eighth Route Army has shrunk the troops operating in Zaozhuang. Except for the occasional guerrilla and military engineering team, and the patrols of plainclothes teams and little devils, there was no major war in the territory at all.

'Your Excellency, will these dirt roads want to escape?' After killing our general, perhaps Tsuchihachi will worry about our next retaliation. So much so, like the previous time, that they planned to hide and avoid the war? ’

Regarding the possibility of an operational staff officer, an operational staff officer soon said: "According to the feedback from the garrison troops around Linyi that we have deployed, no signs of the activities of the Eighth Route Army have been found!" ”

Just because you haven't found it doesn't mean you haven't. The main forces of these dirt roads were able to escape smoothly before, and there must be a secret channel that we don't know. And now the situation in Linyi is also unstable, and Tubalu has recently launched a number of raids and disturbances.

Even the troops of the infantry brigade in this ambush are very likely to have secretly moved from the Yimeng side. After fighting a battle and relieving the siege of their troops in Zaozhuang, they planned to return to the Yimeng Mountains in a low-key manner. This possibility still exists! ’

In the eyes of many Japanese troops stationed in Zaozhuang, the attack on the infantry brigade should not have been caused by the Eighth Route Army in Zaozhuang. If Zaozhuang's Eighth Route Army really has such strength, I'm afraid that Zaozhuang will not be able to hold it.

The Eighth Route Army, which had been hidden and immobile before, suddenly showed such a huge strength this time, didn't they worry about the retaliation of the Japanese army? There is only one possibility not to worry, that is, these Eighth Route Army are not active in Zaozhuang at all.

The brain-opening thoughts of the combat staff officers really made Eguchi Zotaro not know who to listen to. It's just that he knows one thing very well, this time he is afraid that his fate will be similar to that of his predecessor, and he will inevitably be held accountable by the division.

Thinking of this, Eguchi Zotaro could only continue: "It doesn't matter whether the group of Tubalu who ambushed the infantry brigade is hiding in Zaozhuang or is flowing from other places. Those artillery, we have to find out.

Earlier, the commander of the Kimura Division had sent a telegram ordering that reconnaissance planes and bombers would be dispatched to cooperate with us in combat starting tomorrow. The first target was the hinterland of the mountains where the Eighth Route Army might be hiding in Teng County.

After going down, the garrison troops of each city were strictly ordered to intensify the intelligence collection of the Tuba Road. It is necessary to find out the stronghold of the Tuba Road, provide our air force units with bombing targets, and then dispatch ground troops to clear them. ”

In the previous time, only reconnaissance planes were dispatched, but this time Kimura Hyotaro even sent bombers. This kind of largesse undoubtedly proves that ambushing the infantry brigade and cutting off the head of a Japanese major general really irritates the murderous little devils.

But as far as Zhao Tiehu is concerned, the last time the little devil dispatched a reconnaissance plane, he had already ordered his troops to prepare for air defense. In the secret camp in the mountains where the troops lived, it was strictly forbidden to cut down trees at will.

Even many residential barracks were built with the requirements of air defense in mind. Some places suitable for opening caves have also become air-raid shelters for the Eighth Route Army in the mountains.

At least judging from the current situation, it is not easy for the little devil to find the bombing target from the air. The air defense warning device is also very simple, lighting a few beams of wolf smoke can quickly transmit messages in the mountains.

The air defense guard post was also strictly ordered by Zhao Tiehu that all secret camp troops in the mountains must be deployed. Moreover, the arrangement of the air defense guard post must be some distance away from the camp, so that it is also convenient to give warning in advance and let the camp troops evade air raids in advance.

When a large number of little devils stationed in Tengxian County received the order to cooperate with the air force to carry out ground clearance, they began to carry out clearance to the surrounding towns and villages. But it was found that in these towns and villages, except for some ordinary people, the Eighth Route Army could not be seen at all.

It's just that a large number of little devils went to the countryside to sweep away, and it is inevitable that some villages will be vented by the little devils. After Zhao Tiehu, who was staying in the mountains, learned the news, he went down the mountain with the special operations team without saying a word.

The next day, the Japanese troops in charge of the sweep soon learned that one of their Japanese squadrons had been attacked. Surprisingly, most of the bodies of these little devils are gone, which makes the little devils who came to check on the situation extremely frightened.

It's just that it didn't take long for a team of puppet soldiers in charge of the search to look frightened and said, "Taijun, the remains of the imperial army have been found!" ”

'Where? ’

'In Zhujiayuan! ’

'What is working there?' Your lead the way! ’

After the leadership of these puppet troops, a sweeping force of several hundred people soon came to a small village with no one in it. There were quite a few little devils who quickly discovered that they had swept this small village two days ago.

Even many little devils know that in order to vent their anger, they slaughtered all the people in this small village. Although some villagers escaped, they were killed by dozens of elderly and weak women and children who were staying in the village at that time.

After entering the village, looking at the corpse hanging under the big tree at the entrance of the village, many little devils said with fear on their faces: "That's Captain Yamada!" How can it be? How did they get hung here! ”

The Japanese army who led the team, Nakasa, also looked gloomy when he saw this scene. In his opinion, the Eighth Route Army made such a move, which was undoubtedly revenge for their massacre of the villagers. But he must admit that such a scene is indeed a bit terrifying.

Not long after a team entered the village to check the situation, the Japanese second lieutenant who led the team ran out with a somewhat pale face and said: "Nakasa, the missing bodies of the Yamada squadron are all in the village, but the heads of many warriors have been cut off!" ”

'Na! Baga, how dare these dirt and eight roads insult the corpses of our warriors like this! ’

For the anger of this Zhongzuo, the puppet army who accompanied him felt that these little devils were shameless enough. If they are only allowed to wantonly slaughter unarmed innocent people, will the Eighth Route Army not be allowed to torture and kill them?

After arriving at a small barren hill not far from the village, I looked at the wooden monuments erected on the barren hills, and the piles of human heads placed in front of these new tombstones. Many of the little devils who came with me couldn't help but feel the urge to vomit.

Compared with the endurance of the little devil, the puppet army who saw this kind of scene for the first time couldn't control the fear in his heart at all. One by one, they screamed and ran to the side and vomited desperately. Such a scene is really cruel to them!

What shocked the Japanese puppet army the most was the corpses of the Japanese soldiers who were cut off and discarded in a ditch at will. Even if there are no mosquitoes and flies at this time, the small ditch that should have been clear looks crimson at the moment.

It can be said that after this incident, I am afraid that no one in this village will dare to come to live in the future. The corpse hanged from a tree in front of the village, and the corpse with its head cut off at the back of the village, all show that the Eighth Route Army is taking revenge.

But what frightened the Japanese army the most was that this Japanese squadron was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army overnight. Even another squadron stationed near this squadron did not hear the slightest shotshot.

And judging from the results of the corpse examination, many of the corpses were obliterated by cold weapons. Perhaps it was this that caused the Yamada squadron to be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army before they had time to warn, and even transferred the body here overnight.

Just as the Japanese began to collect the corpses and severed heads, a Japanese soldier retrieved a letter from the hanged squadron leader. When I opened the letter, I found that there didn't seem to be much written on it.

After finding a translator, the Japanese soldier Nakasa quickly asked, "What is written on this?" ”

'Taijun! I dare not say! ’

'Yaga! What the hell, you hurry up and translate, or you'll die, die, die! ’

From the translator's frightened and trembling expression, the Japanese army Nakazo could guess that the content of this letter would not be a good word. But when the translator translated the contents of the letter, the Nakasa directly slashed the translator to death.

'Yaga! How dare these dirt roads threaten us! Damn it, damn it! ’

The reason for such an angry reaction is precisely because the letter clearly wrote a sentence in Chinese: "If you dare to massacre innocent people, wait for your general's head to be fed to the dogs, or hang it at the head of Zaozhuang City!" ”

The general's head mentioned in the letter undoubtedly refers to the severed head of the commander of the infantry brigade. You must know that the division commander had a strict order before, telling them to do everything possible to retrieve the head of this unlucky major general.

If the Eighth Route Army is really allowed to feed its head to the dogs or hang it on the head of Zaozhuang City, then the entire 32nd Division will be ridiculed because of this. With such a bad consequence, how could the Japanese army not be angry?

As for the translator who translated these words, the Japanese army Nakasa would not let him live either. The reason is, how can such a shameful thing be known to a translator? If it is spread out, the entire division will be humiliated because of it!
