Chapter 3 Tied up in the sunken lake!

With the end of the Battle of Xuzhou, the Japanese army opened this railway supply line from north to south. The abundant coal resources www.biquge.info Zaozhuang have also become one of the mineral resources that the Japanese army frantically mined, and its prevention and control efforts in Zaozhuang have also been further increased.

The Japanese troops stationed in Zaozhuang knew very well that if they wanted to control a large piece of territory, without the support of people who knew the local situation, they were afraid that it would be difficult for them to maintain peace and stability here for a long time. The Imperial Cooperative Army and plainclothes spies became the best accomplices and thugs of the Japanese army.

Just give these people a little benefit, these people who are only greedy for profit and have no principles will die for the little devils. Monitor the situation in Zaozhuang every day, trying to find some useful clues in order to obtain the reward given by the little devil.

In the past, the hated ruffians turned into plainclothes spies under the recruitment of little devils. In addition to receiving monthly money, some plainclothes can also be equipped with guns, which really appeals to many ruffians.

With the support of the little devils, once they turn over, they will naturally be rampant. Relying on their understanding of the situation in the territory, they have indeed helped the little devils a lot, and they are indeed very effective in probing intelligence and monitoring places.

The two arrested young men in front of him were plainclothes spies recruited by the little devils, who were specifically responsible for patrolling around Weishan Lake. When they encounter a suspicious stranger, they will secretly follow them.

If the number of opponents is small, they will go from tracking to explicit. With a gun in his hand, he really blackmailed a lot of outsiders who came here. And Zhao Tiehu and his entourage had a large number of people, and they did not dare to blatantly interrogate, so they could only follow them.

In the eyes of the two plainclothes agents, Zhao Tiehu and his party had never seen each other in the vicinity, and they were not from a nearby village. It's just that seeing Zhao Tiehu and these people walking vigilantly, the two of them didn't dare to get too close and could only stare from afar.

But these two guys didn't know that Zhao Tiehu dared to appear here, and there were guards and lurking posts arranged around him. As soon as a stranger approaches, the lurking post will sting back until it is sure that they are not a threat.

Looking at the two plainclothes spies who confessed everything under some pressure, Zhao Tiehu asked Tan Changze beside him: "There should be a lot of such plainclothes spies in the entire Zaozhuang area, right?" ”

'Yes! These guys, before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, were all local scoundrels and ruffians, and they themselves were not treated well by the common people. Ever since the little devils recruited these guys, they have been acting as lackeys for the little devils.

If there is anyone the people hate the most, these plainclothes must be the first. Many innocent people were killed by the little devils because of these plainclothes whistleblowers and fabricated charges. These guys are all cheap bones who deceive good and fear evil. ’

Listening to Tan Changze's words of gritting his teeth, a plainclothes agent suddenly said, "You are not robbers?" You are the Eight Roads! ”

'It seems that you are very clever enough to guess that we are the Eight Paths. But haven't you heard that the more you die, the faster you die? Originally, Lao Tzu just wanted to come here to see this time, but I didn't think that you would take the initiative to send it to the door, so I could only consider myself unlucky! ’

After these words were spoken, another plainclothes man suddenly cried bitterly: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I don't know anything." I just joined the plainclothes team, I haven't done anything hurtful, spare me! ”

Faced with the plainclothes man's crying pleading, Tan Changze, who was staying aside, suddenly said: "Detachment leader, for the sake of safety, these two people must not be released." These plainclothes words can't be believed at all, and if we really spare them, we will be in trouble.

Back then, I also believed a plainclothes man's plea for mercy, and as a result, my family was killed by the plainclothes little devil. When these plainclothes begged for mercy, they could say anything. But once they get a life back, they will have bad intentions again. ”

'No, no! Uncle Balu, I really won't, please spare my life! In order to prove my innocence, I told several uncles that he had asked people to go back to report the news, and the little devil was probably coming later. ’

Maybe I'm really scared, or maybe I really want to live. This young plainclothes agent pointed to another plainclothes agent who pointed out the identities of Zhao Tiehu and others, and suddenly said such a thing again.

As a result, the plainclothes immediately exclaimed: "Gu Xiaoliu, you dare to betray Lao Tzu." If something happens to Lao Tzu, don't think about it. The captain will definitely not spare you, the fate of betraying the imperial army, have you forgotten? ”

'Yo! It seems that you are really loyal to the little devil! Okay, for your sake, I might be able to spare your life. Wait a minute, come with me, I'll see what the little devil can do to you!" ’

"Uncle Balu, if the little devils know that I am informing, they will definitely kill my whole family, and I can bring my family with me later." It's really not good, let me go back and report it! ’

As a result, to the surprise of plainclothes, Zhao Tiehu shook his head and said: "You are a dead person like him, how can a dead person go home to report the news?" As long as you come with me, no one will know about your whistleblowing. Others will only think that you are dead.

When the rumors have passed, you want to report the news. If you go back to the village now, you will only bring disaster to your family. Big head, prepare to retreat, set up a cordon farther away, and see how many people will come later. ”

'Yes, Captain! So what does this guy do? ’

'Save a bullet and tie it up in the lake!' ’

Ignoring the pleas of the plainclothes man, the combat team members didn't say much, tied him with a rope, and threw him directly into Weishan Lake. It may be cruel to do so, but it's not uncommon in these days.

The young plainclothes who also saw this scene were also frightened by this scene. I used to hear that the Eighth Route Army gave preferential treatment to prisoners, but the methods of this group of people in front of them seemed very ruthless. How cruel it is for a big living person to be tied up and thrown into the lake like this!

What made Zhao Tiehu more pleased was that Tan Changze, as a political director and political work cadre, did not seem to block his order. It seems that the hatred for these plainclothes is really hated for these plainclothes agents who ruined their families.

Or perhaps because they are accustomed to seeing life and death, many people with guns in their hands have begun to ignore life and death. If this plainclothes agent is released today, it may not be long before this plainclothes agent will be tipped off, and they may be the ones who will die.

Dead and poor people are not as good as dead friends, why don't Zhao Tiehu know this truth!

With the combat team members who reconnoitred the terrain, they came to a valley by Weishan Lake, and the combat team members in charge of reconnaissance quickly brought news from the outside. A plainclothes squad and a dozen little devils are rushing here.

Knowing that there were more than a dozen little devils and more than a dozen plainclothes spies, Zhao Tiehu said directly: "Send two people to lure them here, pack them up and leave." I haven't fought for a while, so let's find the feeling of fighting! ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

For such a small-scale contact battle, the fighters of the directly subordinate detachment naturally did not have the slightest fear. But Tan Changze, who heard this, said a little cautiously: "Detachment leader, I'm afraid that such a dozen will alarm the big army of little devils!" ”

'No problem! When the big army of little devils arrived, we were afraid that we would go away early. These little devils and plainclothes can come so quickly, I believe it is a patrol stationed nearby. Pack them up, and the people will live with peace of mind.

What's more, since we have decided to come here to establish a base area, we must make some noise, otherwise how would the people know that there is already a team of the Eighth Route Army around them? At the very least, it is necessary to deter those plainclothes agents.

Next, our task will be modified, in addition to finding a suitable place for the detachment to establish a base, we will carry out a round of hoeing operations. Pick a few traitors with great public anger to start, and deter these guys who are lackeys for little devils.

Since the little devils are counting on these plainclothes agents to control the place for them, then eradicate these lackeys first, so that they have to come out of the city. As soon as they come out, I have a way to clean them up.

If you don't come out, then outside the city is our world, first develop some fortress villages in the base area, expand the troops, and then slowly eat away at the power of the little devils here. Therefore, in the future, such petty fights should be carried out more. ’

After listening to Zhao Tiehu's words, Tan Changze also said bluntly: "I don't know much about the war, and the detachment leader can do it when he sees it." It's just that there are a dozen little devils, are we okay with this little one? ”

'Rest assured! The combat effectiveness of the directly subordinate detachment, even if there is a small devil's squad, we can clean it up. These soldiers of the direct detachment are all veterans, and the little devils who died in their hands, it is estimated that they themselves can't remember. ’

It is clear that Tan Changze has been doing underground intelligence work, and he doesn't know much about things in the army. If it is replaced by an ordinary Eighth Route Army unit, in the face of a small detachment of little devils, the strength of one platoon of them is indeed enough.

But the problem is that these soldiers brought by Zhao Tiehu are all elite veterans who have survived a hundred battles, and they are stronger than little devils in terms of combat experience and marksmanship. It also occupies a numerical advantage, so naturally there is no reason to be afraid of war.

As the saying goes, 'hearing is false, seeing is believing', and the Japanese patrol that rushed to the scene with the news was dragged over by two combat members. The battle began quickly, but it soon ended.

Looking at the combat team members around Zhao Tiehu, each soldier didn't fire a few shots, and the little devils and plainclothes spies chasing on the mountain road were almost wiped out. Such accurate marksmanship really opened Tan Changze's eyes.

When cleaning up the battlefield, Tan Changze also said with a happy face: "Detachment leader, these soldiers you bring are really powerful." With such an elite team, we will certainly be able to gain a firm foothold here and open up an anti-Japanese base area. ”

That's nature! However, this is just the beginning, and we still have a long way to go. This is very important for the little devils, who don't think it will be easy for us to grow and grow. Therefore, we must be ready to fight a protracted war! ’

Although he has confidence in the strength of the combat troops under his command, Zhao Tiehu also knows that the little devil is not a soft persimmon, and he cannot be careless. If you want to open up an anti-Japanese base behind enemy lines in the Weishan and Zaozhuang areas, you really have a long way to go!
