Chapter 12: Going out in disguise
Although the all-out war of resistance has been started for a while, it is still for the Eighth Route Army, which began to establish an anti-Japanese base in Taihang Mountain. There are still many difficulties and dangers in front of them www.biquge.info and the so-called joint war of resistance is still just a decoration.
Compared with the area north of Taiyuan, which has been occupied by the Japanese army, in the southwest of Shanxi at this time, there are still many troops of the Jin Sui Army and the National * Army in the War of Resistance. But for the Eighth Route Army, these anti-Japanese forces are also not very friendly.
After ending the bandits' den of the Evil Dragon Village, Zhao Tiehu still looked very low-key in the company in order to avoid arousing suspicion. On weekdays, he has nothing to do to go around the cooking class, and he rarely participates in the company's training.
After staying in the company for three days, Zhao Tiehu walked into the company headquarters again, found the company commander Zhu Zixi and said: "Company commander, I want to go out and go around!" Although there is no shortage of food for the company now, they can eat sweet potato porridge every day, and they are not full at all! ”
As a mercenary, Zhao Tiehu doesn't seem to be used to such peaceful days. The most important thing is that looking at what he eats every day, Zhao Tiehu can't stand it in his heart. But if you want to eat meat, it is really too luxurious for the current Eighth Route Army.
Listening to Zhao Tiehu's words, Zhu Chengxi also said with some surprise: "You kid is in charge of the cooking class, and you can't eat enough?" ”
'Company commander, it's not that you can't eat enough, but you don't have enough to eat. Now the training of the company, in my opinion, is not intense enough. If you really want to increase the intensity of training, the soldiers will not be able to bear it without meat.
I want to go outside and find a way to get some meat back. Since I am the leader of the cooking squad, it is also my responsibility and obligation to do a good job of the company's food. Rest assured, I'll take care of myself when I get outside.
What's more, we stay in the village every day, and we don't know what the situation is outside. Taking advantage of this outing, I want to go around the town and the city to see if the little devil has any movement! ’
In fact, wanting to eat meat is one of Zhao Tiehu's purposes for going out, and the second and more important thing is that Zhao Tiehu feels that since he chose to stay in the Eighth Route Army, it is also his mission and responsibility to kill the little devil to resist Japan.
I have always heard that the little devils during the Anti-Japanese War were very good, and Zhao Tiehu also wanted to feel it. With the rest of the past few days, Zhao Tiehu also felt that he was completely integrated with this body, and some combat skills in his previous life could be used freely.
It's just that compared to his strong body in his previous life, this body is somewhat lacking in physical reserves except for being younger. But if you want to strengthen your physical reserves, if you don't have a supply of meat, Zhao Tiehu can't bear it.
Every time I see the recruits in the company who are training, they are as thin as monkeys, and they all look like they are rushing to reincarnate when they hear about the meal. Zhao Tiehu also understands that with such physical fitness, how can he win the little devil?
No food, no clothing, looking for a little devil to go! This is Zhao Tiehu's true idea of planning to leave the village!
Faced with Zhao Tiehu's application to go out, Zhu Chengxi said with some hesitation: "Tiehu, you must know that it is very chaotic outside now, and around the town and the county seat, there are often little devils and puppet soldiers patrolling. It's really troublesome! ”
'Company commander, don't worry! I'm not stupid, I will naturally avoid a large group of small devils. But if it is a small group of devils or puppet soldiers, with my ability, it is not easy for them to get a bargain from me.
At present, although the company is not short of food for the time being, it can't sit back and eat empty, right? I went out this time, firstly, to see if I could get some food there, and secondly, to get a feel for the situation of the surrounding enemy.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles, I believe that the company commander also understands this truth, right? With my abilities, being a scout shouldn't be a problem, right? Don't worry, I'll be back for three days at most, okay? ’
Seeing that Zhao Tiehu was starting to be a little impatient, Zhu Chengxi could only say with a wry smile in his heart: "That's okay, you must come back within three days." Outside, keep your temper a little bit, and take it easy, you know? ”
'Okay, got it!' Then I'll leave later, I'll be back in time if there is a situation! ’
Salute turned and strode away, this movement seemed to be very dashing. But for Zhu Chengxi, he felt that Zhao Tiehu had been out for three days, and it was estimated that he would be worried again. But if you don't approve it, won't Zhao Tiehu run by himself?
It's really helpless to have such a subordinate who does what I do, sometimes it's really helpless!
When he left the village, Zhao Tiehu had already changed into a common person's clothes. In addition to a dagger tied to his leg, he also had two box cannons stuck in his waist. As for the rifle, Zhao Tiehu felt that it was too conspicuous, so he didn't bring it out.
During the three days in the village, Zhao Tiehu also carefully observed the living conditions of the villagers. At this time, he changed into ordinary people's clothes, and he looked no different from a common man who went out of the village and entered the county seat.
Since you want to travel in disguise, it naturally has to be like that. Camouflage reconnaissance is also a very simple thing for Zhao Tiehu, who once served in the Southwest Special Forces.
Zhao Tiehu, who had not been to the northwest in his previous life, walked in the mountains of the northwest at this time, and also saw the difference between the northwest and the southwest. But he knew in his heart that Shanxi at this time was undoubtedly the most complicated area in the Anti-Japanese War.
The Eighth Route Army, the Jin Sui Army, and the national* army troops withdrawn from the front line, plus the troops of the little devils stationed in various towns and the puppet army that were recruited. The presence of so many troops makes the people here afraid every time they travel.
With the memories received in his head, Zhao Tiehu at least didn't have to worry about getting lost. Following the familiar road in his memory, Zhao Tiehu planned to go to the town to have a look first. Even if he knew that there should be little devils and puppet soldiers in the town at this time.
It's just that according to what he has learned, compared to the little devil's attention to the county. In this kind of town under the jurisdiction of the county seat, Japanese troops are rarely stationed, and most of them send the incorporated puppet army to be responsible for public security and clearance.
In normal times, the little devils in the county town go to the countryside to clean up or collect grain, and these puppet soldiers will also cooperate with the action. It can be said that the existence of the puppet army, to a certain extent, also acts as the vanguard and eyes and ears of the little devils, and it is also the most hated by the surrounding people.
The word traitor is naturally not unfamiliar to Zhao Tiehu. Whether now or in the future, there is no shortage of people who do not hesitate to sell their souls for profit. But for Zhao Tiehu, what he wants to deal with most is the little devil.
From the village where the third company was stationed to Zhangzhuang Town, which was the closest to the village, it was only forty or fifty miles on foot. It seems like a short distance, but it still takes a lot of time to actually walk.
After all, in this day and age, the situation on rural roads is very bad. Of course, this is not without its benefits. At least when fighting, it is also not easy for the little devil to want to carry out a sneak attack.
What's more, in order to ensure the safety of the garrison, most of the villages that the companies of the Eighth Route Army choose to station in are now close to the mountains. The reason for this is also very simple, it is to ensure the safety and concealment of the troops.
Even if every time they go out to fight, the troops have to go a long way. Compared to being stationed in some villages with convenient transportation, you have to worry about the sneak attack of the little devils every day. I believe that many commanders of the Eighth Route Army would rather live in remote places.
After nearly three hours of walking, Zhao Tiehu finally set foot on the road to the town. I didn't go far before I saw the checkpoint on the road in front of me. Many people passing by the highway are inevitably subject to some interrogation.
'Damn, it seems that the little devil is quite strict about the surrounding road blockades! ’
For the sake of safety, Zhao Tiehu did not choose to take the highway, but instead looked from a distance, and when he saw that there were two people dressed as little devils at this highway outpost, and the rest were all puppet soldiers, he also looked a little surprised.
Although Zhao Tiehu is confident that he can solve these two little devils and the rest of the puppet army. But he also didn't want to startle the snake, so he finally came out for a trip, and he always had to go around first and then talk about it, and then solve it when he went back.
'Let you live two more days!' ’
Leaving behind such a sentence, Zhao Tiehu chose to take the path to the town. When he arrived in town, he also saw some puppet soldiers who were investigating in the town. These circumstances made Zhao Tiehu also realize that the little devil was afraid that he wanted to implement a material blockade.
Because when he was watching from the sidelines, Zhao Tiehu found that many people who bought food and salt from the town were taken aside by these puppet soldiers for interrogation. People who purchase a large number of people are often focused on inventory.
Although the effect of this kind of inventory is not very large, there are still businessmen who privately sell controlled materials at high prices. From the attitude of the little devil, it can be seen that the little devil intends to implement a material blockade and force the Eighth Route Army out of the mountains.
At least the little devil knows very well that he wants to clear out the Eighth Route Army and other anti-Japanese forces hidden in the Taihang Mountains. Unless they carry out large-scale dragnet sweeps, it will be difficult to achieve real results.
If the Eighth Route Army is forced out of the mountains through the method of material blockade, then for the Japanese puppet army on the defending side, they undoubtedly occupy the initiative on the battlefield. This tactic is also a very common tactic in the occupied areas during the Anti-Japanese War!
