When an infantry wing from Jining finally arrived in Zaozhuang City, Zaozhuang was still under the control of the Japanese army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info is just the tense and depressed atmosphere in the city, so that the Japanese troops who rushed to reinforce can still feel the smell of gunpowder that has not yet dispersed.

Looking at the few troops standing at the gate of the city, Major General Matsuyama Hiroyoshi, the commander of the Japanese brigade who personally led the troops over, couldn't help frowning a little. In his opinion, the morale of the Zaozhuang garrison was seriously frustrated.

Just thinking of the telegram he received on the way to Zaozhuang, Matsuyama Hiroyoshi also knew that this important military town was captured by the Eighth Route Army. Such a result is believed to be a great shame for the Japanese troops stationed in this city.

As a garrison officer, Kobayashi Akiya, even if he knew that his fate would not be too good, he still respectfully stepped forward and saluted: "General, it's been hard all the way." The tired general came in person, and his subordinates disgraced the division! ”

Facing Kobayashi Akiya taking the initiative to ask for guilt, Matsuyama Hiroyoshi said with a serious expression: "Kobayashi Daisa, for your dereliction of duty, I believe that the division commander will deal with it accordingly." This time, your Zaozhuang garrison unit has indeed disappointed the division commander very much! ”

'Hey! Guilty in office! ’

Without any superfluous explanation, Kobayashi Zhao also simply admitted that he was guilty. As for how the division will deal with him next, Kobayashi Zhao will not think much about it either. Even if he had to apologize, he had no chance to resist.

Accompanied by the reinforced infantry wing stationed in Zaozhuang City, after listening to Kobayashi Akiya's report, Matsuyama Hiroyoshi frowned again and said: "You mean, there are not many people who sneak attack Zaozhuang?" Your gendarmerie can't resist it? ”

'Hey! General, although I don't want to admit this reality, judging from the battle situation the night before, the Tubalu that attacked Zaozhuang was composed of elites. At least it was the first time I had encountered such an elite unit when I came to fight in China.

These elite battles are very brave, and their skills, tactics and marksmanship are very powerful. When fighting the gendarmerie, it was difficult for my gendarmerie to resist in a one-to-one situation. In addition, the other party attacked first, which eventually led to the loss of Zaozhuang.

Most importantly, the information on these dirt roads seems to be very well-informed. They chose the right time for a sneak attack when I sent my main forces to protect the railway. It was precisely because of the lack of troops in the city that this defeat occurred. ’

'Have you found out where these dirt roads are going?' ’

'We've scouted the approximate range!' It's just that if you want to encircle and suppress it, I'm afraid you still need to make good preparations. Most of these dirt roads have escaped from the deep mountains in Yixian. ’

'Yaga! This is really the combat style of the dirt eight roads, every time they get a benefit, they will choose to run away and hide. If we want to go into the mountains to encircle and suppress, it will be a bit troublesome for us. ’

It seems that Matsuyama Hiroyoshi, who has fought with the Eighth Route Army, knows very well that it is not easy to find out the Eighth Route Army hiding in the mountains. But since he is here this time, he still has to try it somewhat, and at the worst he has to deter the Eighth Route Army.

As an elite brigade under the command of the 32nd Division, Matsuyama Hiroyoshi also understood that it was impossible for them to stay here for long. Once the crisis here is resolved, then they need to return to their stations as soon as possible and prepare to participate in the next divisional operations.

If they stay in Zaozhuang for too long, no one can guarantee that if there is no danger in Jining. After all, they stationed a division in Jining, and it was also to ensure security in Jining.

If there is one less brigade, it must be more troublesome for the remaining troops to manage a larger place. Once an opportunity is found, the anti-war forces hiding in Jining at this moment will inevitably create some chaos in the local area.

Hearing that after the Eighth Route Army captured Zaozhuang, many squires and officials supported by the Japanese army were killed, Matsuyama Hiroyoshi also had a headache and said: "Baga! Our opponent is cunning, and he knows very well that we alone cannot control the place.

For these officials and merchants who were killed by the Dirt Eight Road, you will personally go to their families in the name of the garrison. In addition, find some people to preach the cruelty of Tubalu, and strive to support some more officials and squires.

Without the support of these people, it would be very difficult for us to manage the occupied areas well. In addition, coal mines and power plants should also be repaired. Coal mines, in particular, must start construction as soon as possible. ”

'Hey! ’

With Matsuyama Hiroyoshi entering Zaozhuang, Kobayashi Akiya, the big Zuo garrison officer, became more of Matsuyama Hiroyoshi's staff officer. If he can make meritorious service this time, he may be able to escape the punishment of disembowelment.

After all, compared to Matsuyama Hiroyoshi who first arrived here, Kobayashi Zhao also served as a garrison officer in Zaozhuang for nearly a year, and he also knows the situation in Zaozhuang better. If you make a rash change, it will also affect the stability of Zaozhuang.

At least for the time being, the division commander Hyotaro Kimura does not want to change people yet. If the infantry brigade wants to successfully complete the sweeping mission, it also needs the full cooperation of the Zaozhuang garrison. Relying on a brigade alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed.

Considering that the most urgent thing to do at present is to stabilize the chaotic situation in Zaozhuang, the Japanese infantry wing stationed in Zaozhuang has also begun to transfer troops one after another to strengthen the public security control of the surrounding counties, and at the same time increase the intensity of inventory and reconnaissance.

Songshan Haoyi, who arrived in Zaozhuang, combined the situation in Teng County and Yi County, and quickly realized that these two places should be areas where the Eighth Route Army often operates. It is even quite possible that the Eighth Route Army established bases in both places.

If you want to really wipe out these Eighth Route Army, you must find out the opponent's base area, and then send heavy troops to sweep all the way through. The Eighth Route Army's anti-war forces in the two places were cleaned up at one time.

This idea is naturally very good, and the arrival of the infantry brigade has indeed improved the situation in Zaozhuang. It's just that the Japanese army has a bit of a headache is that the teams they sent to spy on intelligence don't seem to have found much useful information.

Even a few elite spy personnel dispatched by the special high school often disappeared when they went deep into the villages in the neighboring mountains to find out the news. As for the puppet army spies who were very good at finding out the news in the past, this time they failed to satisfy the little devils.

In fact, when the little devils began to strengthen the security of various counties and sent spies and spies to inquire about the news, Zhao Tiehu also issued an order to the guerrilla areas to beware of spies. For strangers who enter the village, they will be arrested first and then tried.

Even the spies sent by the little devils, some of them are locals. But they suddenly appeared in the fortress village developed by the Eighth Route Army, and after being caught by the militia in the village, they would naturally be interrogated properly, and they would be locked up in a labor camp in the mountains if they had the slightest flaw.

As for the little devils in the extra-high class, many times they are very cunning and sophisticated. But there is a very effective way to identify them, that is, after stripping them naked, if they are wearing a crotch cloth, then they are undoubtedly the spies of the little devils.

Perhaps these little devil elites never thought that the Eighth Route Army would use such a method to identify them. Even the little devils who can give reasons will inevitably be imprisoned in a labor camp in the mountains for a period of time.

Even if some of them were wronged, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who captured them also made it clear that this was to prevent the spies from reporting the news. In order to ensure the safety of the village and the base, they can only be wronged to stay in the mountains for a while.

During this time in the mountains, the Eighth Route Army would provide them with food and shelter. If their identity is really okay, when they are sent down the mountain, they will also be sent out of the country as a gift. They will only be released until the investigation is confirmed.

This kind of policy of joint defense between villages and villages has to a large extent put an end to the infiltration of little devils and plainclothes spies. In Zhao Tiehu's words, such a trick is only useful for the intelligence officers and plainclothes agents of the little devils.

If the little devils send a large force to carry out reconnaissance or search, then before these little devils enter the village, I am afraid that they will see the scene of people going to the empty village. If you can't even find anyone, how can you interrogate the location of the Eighth Route Army's base area?

When the little devil was working hard to investigate the foothold of the Eighth Route Army, Zhao Tiehu, who led the assault team down the mountain, did not inform the troops of the next combat goals. Adopt the strategy of marching day and night, and maneuver between the towns and villages in Zaozhuang.

It was not until the next combat goal was determined that Zhao Tiehu ordered the troops to advance to the territory of Weishan. The reason is that at present, the areas where the little devils focus on defense are Teng County, Yi County and Zaozhuang City, and as for the territory of Weishan, it is a lot lax.

Based on the information collected by the underground transportation station, Zhao Tiehu finally selected a combat target. In his opinion, this combat target is only afraid that even the commander of the infantry brigade in Zaozhuang City may not think of this.

But for Zhao Tiehu and the task force, if they can solve this little devil in advance, it will definitely play a very important role in their future operations behind enemy lines in Weishan.

After listening to the battle plan told by Zhao Tiehu, Li Chengwu's eyes immediately lit up and said: "Detachment leader, the combat target you chose is really unexpected!" Now the little devil is probably going crazy again. ”

'The little devils are not crazy, how can we let them continue to divide their troops?' Now it's just that their brigades are divided into wings, and the next thing we have to do is to split these infantry wings into infantry brigades, and from infantry brigades into infantry squadrons.

If we can achieve this combat goal, we will have the opportunity to find a hole and bite the little devil again. Accumulate small victories into big victories, as long as there are a few more battles, I think the little devils will also feel pain, and eventually withdraw the army or send heavy troops over.

And our troops, in this way, constantly carry out rotational training operations. I believe that with this great winter test, next year our troops will be able to usher in new great development and train a truly elite unit. ’

After some consideration, Zhao Tiehu distributed many of the weapons and ammunition seized in Zaozhuang to the militia and guerrillas of the village guards to enhance the combat effectiveness of these two local troops.

The extra weapons and ammunition are enough for a new round of expansion of the detachment in the future. For today's task force, there is no shortage of materials, weapons and ammunition, what is lacking is the time to recruit and train recruits!
