The Japanese army's sweeping campaign in the southwest of Shanxi Province had to be hastily ended because the rear supply was interrupted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The various Japanese troops assembled in the southwest of Shanxi also began to return to their respective stations one after another, waiting for the next battle order.

As for the Japanese army's large-scale search and arrest in Pingyao, it naturally ended in vain. The Japanese infantry wing that arrived in Zhangbei Village, Qi County, only brought back a few hundred corpses of little devils, and nearly 100 unrecognizable heads back to Pingyao.

After a few days of wanton search in Pingyao, it was finally confirmed that the small unit had left the territory of Pingyao, and the Japanese army could only end this fruitless and labor-intensive large-scale search and arrest. The focus of the operation began to be on attacking the anti-Japanese forces in Linfen and Luliang.

Compared with today's southwest of Shanxi, the Japanese army basically controlled these important places in towns. Linfen was the territory of the Jin Sui army, and the Japanese army also failed to advance, so they could only deploy defenses along the Yellow River, looking for an opportunity to attack Linfen to clear and suppress the Jin Sui army.

The Luliang area was the defense area of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army developed very quickly there. Relying on the advantage of bordering northern Shaanxi, it constantly encroached on the Japanese defense forces there, and at the same time played a role in protecting the flanks of the Jin Sui army.

For Zhao Tiehu, who returned to the Yu Society, these things were naturally unaware of him. Not long after entering the headquarters of the third battalion, I saw several team members who had been injured in the third battalion earlier. For their request to return to the team after recovering from injury, Zhao Tiehu was naturally very happy.

smiled and said: "Okay, I'm happy to see you all doing well!" Tomorrow, you'll go back to the base with your team! ”

'Yes, Captain! It's a pity that we didn't catch up with the big battle because we were injured! ’

'What a pity! As long as you take care of your body, are you afraid that you won't fight in the future? At present, there are countless little devils waiting for us to clean up in the whole Shanxi and even the whole country? I'm afraid that when the time comes, you don't have the ability, but let the little devils clean it up! ’

For the wounded eager to fight, Zhao Tiehu naturally felt happy. It's just that he doesn't want these fighters to be too confident either, and it's good to have confidence. But if you are too confident, you will be a little proud, and it will be easy to have problems!

Just as Zhao Tiehu was chatting with the soldiers who had returned from injury, a member of the team suddenly said: "Captain, there is something I think I should tell you." Battalion Commander Liu of the independent battalion seems to have an accident! ”

'Battalion Commander Liu? That independent battalion near Xinguan Town? ’

'Hmmm! His independent battalion had suffered heavy losses in the previous little devil sweep, but it was nothing. The most annoying thing is that I heard that the regimental commander of Battalion Commander Liu wanted to punish him for the crime of being unfavorable in combat. In fact, his regimental commander just took the opportunity to rectify the person.

In this little devil sweep, not only the independent battalion suffered heavy losses, but our troops also sacrificed many comrades. But the independent battalion was surrounded by little devils that time because they rescued the common people and our guerrillas.

As a result, he was bitten by the little devils, and more than half of the entire independent battalion was killed by the little devils, and even Battalion Commander Liu was injured when he heard about it. His regiment commander did not award Battalion Commander Liu for meritorious service, but said that he had privately defected to us and wanted to incorporate his independent battalion.

Some time ago, a few of us were recuperating here in the third camp, and some medicines could not be bought, so it was also Camp Commander Liu who sent us some medicines. I don't think we should take care of this? ’

Listening to this soldier's words, thinking of the casual conversation with Liu Jiaren, Zhao Tiehu felt that the other party was a pure soldier. Although he was wearing the military uniform of the Zhong Yan Army, he still had a bit of enthusiasm and ambition to defend the country in his bones.

Just because of the rescue of the people and the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, he had to be engaged in military law by his regiment commander. That sounds a little chilling. But speaking of which, Liu Jiaren will be rectified, but I am afraid that it will have something to do with getting too close to the Eighth Route Army.

Don't look at the current anti-war forces, they are all talking about a joint anti-Japanese war. But in fact, there are a lot of small frictions in private. As long as the situation subsides a little, I am afraid that the Zhong Yan Army and the Jin Sui Army, which are strong in the Eighth Route Army, will stir up trouble and find trouble.

Of course, the expansion of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in various places also made the Jin Sui Army and the Zhong Yan Army feel pressure. Without the support of the local people, how can their fighting units behind enemy lines survive?

In this case, it is normal for both sides to watch out for each other in private, and to make some small moves in secret. But in such a name, the execution of an iron-blooded officer who had made meritorious contributions to the war, Zhao Tiehu felt that it was indeed chilling.

After listening to the soldier's story, Zhao Tiehu nodded and said, "If things are really as you said, then our Hutou Mountain Brigade should indeed help the field." We owe him a favor to the independent battalion before, and it's time to pay it back.

Don't worry, I still have to ask Camp Commander Zhu what is going on. As long as you take advantage of the reason, no matter who you are, don't want to bully the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War casually. Some people don't when they stand in the pit, so don't blame Lao Tzu for kicking him into the pit! ”

Zhao Tiehu, who said this, quickly asked Zhu Xin about the ins and outs of this matter. After confirming that what the soldier said was not exaggerated, Zhao Tiehu decided to lead the troops to rescue Liu Jiaren and his old subordinates.

Zhao Tiehu, who had been to the independent battalion before, knew that Liu Jiaren had a high prestige in the independent battalion. Most of the old subordinates who came out of the Northwest Army with him only listened to Liu Jiaren's orders, and it was not easy for the Zhong Yan Army to be absorbed.

It was learned that Liu Jiaren was only being detained now, and for the time being, he had to wait for the order from above before he could be dealt with accordingly. Zhao Tiehu knew that time could not be delayed, and if he went late, he might be killed.

When Zhao Tiehu and his entourage, who came in a hurry and left in a hurry, left the village, the instructor of the third battalion said with a little worry: "Lao Zhu, why don't you stop it?" I'm afraid something big will happen to him when he goes! ”

'What could happen!' Those who have suffered should be cleaned up. Tiehu, this kid, has made such a big contribution this time, even if he pokes some baskets, it's fine. If I hadn't been a battalion commander, I would have wanted to take people to kill those devastated troops.

When the little devils swept up the previous time, except for the independent battalion that resolutely resisted and counterattacked, the other units of the Zhongyan Army only knew how to retreat and flee desperately. Even in the process of escaping, the people of several villages were harmed.

With such an anti-war force, it would only be bad to keep them in Yushe. If it weren't for the disagreement from above, Lao Tzu would have wanted to take the three battalions to kill those guys. If you don't do the right thing, you will know that making money will harm the people. This time, too, it was time for them to taste the scourge of others. ’

As the commander of the third battalion, Zhu Xin naturally understands the situation of this friendly and neighboring force. It can be said that many guerrillas in this Zhongyan military defense area died at their hands.

Although the 772nd Regiment sent someone to negotiate with him, the other party refused to admit it as soon as he pushed 356, which really made Zhu Xin a little angry. After all, the one who is really the neighbor of this Zhongyan army is his three battalions, and his losses are the greatest!

Zhao Tiehu, who followed the guide and began to go to the station of the Independent Regiment of the Zhongyan Army, listened to Liu Cheng's slightly worried words: "Captain, do you want to ask your superiors about this matter?" If you take the liberty of doing it, I am afraid that it will provoke a dispute between the two armies! ”

'Afraid of what?' Wait a minute, let the soldiers change into the clothes of the little devils and the puppet army, as long as I rescue Battalion Commander Liu and his subordinates, I will not go on a killing spree. But this matter has to be reported for instructions, and it is estimated that the above will not agree at all.

I didn't want to be a high-ranking official, I just wanted to fight devils. I can't manage this kind of injustice if I don't encounter it, and I have to take care of it if I encounter it. What's more, if it wasn't for the independent rescue before, we are afraid that it will not be so easy.

I'll take care of everything alone. Anyway, since joining the revolution, I have poked a lot of baskets, and I don't care about this matter anymore. It's a big deal, with me, the captain, Lao Tzu doesn't fight devils single-handedly. ’

He also knew very well the possible consequences of this matter, but in Zhao Tiehu's opinion, even if there was no such thing, the two troops would fight sooner or later in southwest Shanxi. Some things are just kept secret.

If you really want to end the main force of the Zhong Xuan Army, it is estimated that some of the leaders above will only feel happy. After all, if these Zhongyi troops are solved, the Eighth Route Army is also the real strongest in Yushe, and the Eighth Route Army will naturally have the final say in the matter here.

It doesn't matter how to carry the thunder top bag, in Zhao Tiehu's opinion, this matter seems to be very troublesome, but in fact, it is also thunder and rain. The most unfortunate internal punishment is not painful and itchy, how can Zhao Tiehu care?

As for the possibility of losing the opportunity for promotion, in fact, for Zhao Tiehu, he did not think about becoming a higher-level officer. After all, he knows better than anyone what the future of this army will look like.

With his background, he may be less prone to problems than many people. But from the army to the present, the troubles he has caused. If someone really wants to find trouble, I'm afraid that Zhao Tiehu will also inevitably accept some criticism.

This is naturally very unaccustomed to Zhao Tiehu, who advocates freedom and has an unrestrained personality. Therefore, as long as there is no worry about his life, Zhao Tiehu dares to do anything and stab any basket.

To put it more seriously, even if he can't be the captain, Zhao Tiehu will still continue to fight devils. In their own form, to contribute their own anti-war force. Don't ask for high-ranking officials, just want to live happily!

After Zhao Tiehu and his entourage traveled a long way, they finally arrived at the defense area where the independent regiment of the Zhongyan Army was located. Looking at the regimental headquarters temporarily built in the village, Zhao Tiehu was not in a hurry to make a move, and decided to grab a few tongues and interrogate them first.

Speaking of which, when he was in the southern Jiangxi Soviet region before, Zhao Tiehu and Zhong Yanjun did not fight once or twice. This time he came to trouble Zhong Yanjun again, and Zhao Tiehu also looked a little excited. This can be regarded as reliving the old days!

With the strength of the combat detachment, even the patrol team against the little devils is not a problem. In the face of these patrols of the Zhong Xuan Army who relaxed their vigilance, they were naturally also handy. Not long after, a team patrolling outside the village was captured by a reconnaissance detachment.

Seeing these large numbers of 'little devils' hidden in the mountains outside the village, the soldiers of the Zhongyan Army patrolling were naturally frightened and scattered. It's just that when they heard about the interrogation of these little devils, they were very surprised.

When did the little devil say that the official words were so smooth. This is obviously not normal!
