If it is said that the Eighth Route Army sneak attacked the train loaded with equipment, the little devils stationed in Zaozhuang were very surprised and angry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThen the Eighth Route Army's raid on the Zaozhuang Coal Mine again really made the Japanese army feel that the Eighth Route Army had reached the point where it could not be suppressed.

Considering that the Japanese army in Jining sent an infantry brigade over the previous time, it still failed to achieve much effect, but let the Eighth Route Army capture Zaozhuang City once. Sataro Eguchi, who wanted to send more troops immediately, seemed to calm down.

Even in order to ensure the safety of the remaining Japanese troops in the mining area, Edachchi Zotaro quickly ordered that the remaining troops in the mining area should not go out at will in the near future. As long as the power plant and coal mine are secured, all search operations are to be stopped.

The actions of the Japanese army in Zaozhuang did surprise Zhao Tiehu. But he knew that the more cautious the little devil was, the more it meant that the little devil was holding back his badness and planning to carry out a really large-scale sweeping operation.

With this idea, Zhao Tiehu also began to order that the troops in the three base areas officially enter a state of combat readiness. Strengthen the control of guerrilla areas and strictly guard against the infiltration and reconnaissance of little devils.

At the same time, the intelligence stations under the command of the task force made every effort to investigate the military movements of the little devils. If the little devil comes to attack with heavy troops next, Zhao Tiehu has already decided to turn the entire Zaozhuang territory upside down.

Even if the little devil sends heavy troops to attack again, then Zhao Tiehu will completely paralyze the railway passing through Zaozhuang. Even if the little devil is still unblocked in the canal, Zhao Tiehu will make the little devil dare not sail easily.

With this kind of confidence, Zhao Tiehu also ordered all troops to seize the time to reserve combat materials, especially to store more grain in each secret camp. The little devils are carrying out a big sweep, and I am afraid that many people will be drawn into the war by then.

In order to avoid heavy casualties among the people, Zhao Tiehu naturally needed to make more preparations. Moreover, outside some secret camps, Zhao Tiehu also ordered to organize people to build fortifications. Do this, just in case.

As Zhao Tiehu expected, Eguchi Zotaro, who summoned the garrisons of each city to Zaozhuang for a meeting, also inquired about the activities of the Eighth Route Army around each city. As a result, it was shocking that many counties had lost control of most rural areas.

Why didn't you report this earlier? ’

Listening to the reports of these garrison officers, Sataro Eguchi was naturally very angry. Originally, in his opinion, the transfer from the commander of the infantry wing of the division to the garrison officer of Zaozhuang was also a big promotion.

As long as he makes some achievements in Zaozhuang, next time he has the opportunity to be promoted to major general, maybe he will have more opportunities than others. After all, in the entire Shandong garrison, the weight of the commander of the Zaozhuang garrison is not light.

But Eguchi Zotaro also didn't expect that in his opinion, serving as the garrison officer of Zaozhuang was a transitional journey to be promoted to general. But now it seems that he will fall on a big heel in Zaozhuang, and finally end up with the former garrison.

Faced with a worrying future, Sataro Eguchi also became very cautious. Before deciding to launch a large-scale sweep and clearance operation, Sataro Eguchi also planned to find out the situation around the garrison troops in the territory.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the situation that these garrison officers finally reported made Eguchi Sataro realize. Unconsciously, the Eighth Route Army had developed in Zaozhuang, causing them to lose many villages and some townships.

Perhaps for the Japanese troops stationed in Zaozhuang, those villages were not important to their control of Zaozhuang. After all, the people of those remote mountain villages could not bring anything to the Japanese army at all, and it was difficult to create any benefits for the Japanese army.

But for the little devils, they want the people to be honest and obey their management, and they don't want to see these people lose control. Because if they get out of control, these people can be a threat to them.

As a wing captain from the division, Sataro Eguchi also had several contacts with the Eighth Route Army, and he knew very well that the Eighth Route Army was indeed very terrible in terms of propaganda. Once those civilians accept the Eighth Route Army, they will burst out with amazing abilities.

Realizing this, Sataro Eguchi was glad that he had not given an operational order to sweep the entire territory earlier. If such an order is really issued, perhaps the entire Zaozhuang will become a pot of porridge, making it completely lose control of Zaozhuang.

The garrison officers of the cities who were reprimanded actually felt a little wronged. For them, the garrison was too limited to send troops to remote mountain villages. It is actually rare to be able to defend the township and county seat.

For this reason, some garrison officers also immediately said: "Your Excellency, the garrison troops of our cities have suffered serious losses before. Although some troops have been increased, those Imperial Cooperative Forces are not used at all, and we are powerless! ”

'Yaga, is that the reason?' Do you have to wait until the earth is surrounded by the eight roads before you know how to take action?

After scolding, Sataro Eguchi also knew the difficulties of these garrison officers. After thinking about it, he said: "After we go back, we will step up reconnaissance of the Tuba Road guerrillas in the territory and be sure to find out the base area of the Tuba Road.

Remember, only reconnaissance is needed, and the garrisons of the cities are not allowed to be good at dispatching without my orders. Fighting against these dirt eight roads, you must remember that if you don't make a move, you will be killed, and if you do, you must be deadly, understand? ”

'Hey! ’

After listening to Eguchi Sataro's order, the garrisons of each city breathed a sigh of relief. Although the other party likes to reprimand, he also understands their distress. Reconnaissance without action will not put too much pressure on the garrisons of the cities.

After saying these arrangements, Sataro Eguchi continued: "In order to ensure the complete control of Zaozhuang by the Empire, and also to prevent similar raids from happening. I will personally inform General Kimura of the situation in Zaozhuang.

At the same time, in order to ensure the success of our next sweep operation, I will ask General Kimura to send additional elite troops to support our sweep operation. At the same time, in order to paralyze the Eighth Route Army, these troops would enter the city in batches in the name of escorting troops.

After you go back, you must keep this secret strictly and not leak this information in advance. When the reinforcements arrive, I will find the best time to launch a sweep of the whole territory, and I hope you will work hard at that time! ”

'Long live, Your Majesty the Emperor! ’

In addition to deciding to apply for reinforcements from the division, Sataro Eguchi also knew about the railway line in Zaozhuang, which was also the focus of their guard. Therefore, Sataro Eguchi also ordered to increase the construction of railway forts along the line.

In some sections of the railway that were vulnerable to attack, Sataro Eguchi decided to send additional puppet Japanese troops and build forts to patrol and guard. Even if it costs a lot of money, in Eguchi's view, it is also to ensure the safety of the railway.

After all, compared to the losses caused to the Japanese army once the railway was interrupted, it would not cost much to build more forts. And the little devil's series of actions undoubtedly aroused Zhao Tiehu's suspicion and vigilance.

Zhao Tiehu, who received information from various guerrillas and military engineering teams, led the special combat team back to the headquarters, and looked at the Japanese fortress marked on the map that was under construction, and Zhao Tiehu also looked very worried.

Looking at the three detachment leaders and Tan Changze who were ordered to come back by order, Zhao Tiehu also said with a solemn expression: "Comrades, from this latest information of the Japanese army, have you found anything?" ”

"Detachment leader, the little devil spent so much money to build so many railway bunkers, it seems that he wants to completely block the railway, so that we have no chance to take it! The little devil is such a blockage, and in the future, our troops will think about the railway, but I am afraid that it will not be easy! ’

Listening to Li Chengwu's analysis, Song Dabao and Zhu Zixi agreed very much. After all, some of the guerrilla zones under the jurisdiction of their detachments were on the other side of the railway line. The guerrillas who wanted to report information also had to pass through the railway lines frequently.

If the little devils build a bunker every few kilometers in this way, it will still have a major impact on the interconnection between the guerrillas. One is not good, and when you cross the border, you may be ambushed by little devils.

At this time, Tan Changze, who was attending the meeting, said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Detachment leader, although there is no definite evidence for the time being, the little devil is engaged in some conspiracy. But I always feel that the little devil has a big conspiracy!

According to the report of the intelligence officers we have planted in the puppet army, the little devils stationed in various cities have recently increased their intelligence collection on us. Many plainclothes spies who have been bribed by the little devils also frequently come and go to our guerrillas to inquire about the situation.

Although we monitor it very closely, it is difficult to ensure that there are any fish that slip through the net. And the reason why I suspect that the little devil has some conspiracy is that I just received a piece of information from the Teng County underground transportation station, and I think I should pay attention to it. ”

'What information?' ’

Just two days ago, the little devil had a train transporting supplies, and when he passed through the Tengxian Railway Station, a squadron of Japanese escort troops got off the car. At that time, our intelligence officers didn't pay attention, and thought it was normal for the little devils to come down and rest.

It's just that what makes the intelligence officer feel strange is that after the Japanese squadron got off the train, it did not return to the train on time, but was stationed in the barracks of the little devils in Tengxian County overnight. I think it's a very weird situation! ’

After listening to the information provided by Tan Changze, Zhao Tiehu thought for a while and suddenly said: "Damn, it seems that the little devil is really insidious enough, and he actually plays the trick of secretly Chen Cang with us." It seems that this newly transferred Zaozhuang garrison officer is really a cautious guy.

Plan and then act, first find out our bottom in detail, and finally give a fatal blow. Lao Tan, immediately give an order to our intelligence officer, focusing on checking whether the defenders of the little devil cities have increased recently.

Although these little devils sneaked into the military camps of various cities, it was not easy for our people to investigate them. But I believe that as long as you investigate carefully, the little devil will also show his feet. After all, there are more people, and the materials consumed by the little devils must have increased.

As long as we investigate along these lines, I believe that we will be rewarded. In addition, the construction of the railway bunker by the little devil must be interrupted. If they want to sneak in, then we will take the initiative and catch them off guard! ”

Realizing that the little devil began to act cautiously, Zhao Tiehu also knew that he had met an opponent this time. In order to avoid dragging the little devil into the rhythm, Zhao Tiehu decided to take the initiative and drag the little devil in at his own pace!
