In order to ensure the smooth repair of the Xinpu Railway, and also to stabilize the chaos in Zaozhuang. Major General Kurokawa, who was stationed in Zaozhuang, finally decided to shrink his forces and temporarily suspend the truce with the Eighth Route Army, and wait for the opportunity to fight with the Eighth Route Army again.

For the little devil's truce, Zhao Tiehu, who has been fighting in many places during this time, and the casualties of the troops are actually not small, also immediately issued an order for each detachment to rest and recuperate. As for the battles in Weishan, they are basically petty fights.

Even in the end, as the little devils defeated the security group that occupied Weishan Town, they entered Weishan Town again. The little devil infantry brigade that entered Weishan, after suffering several times, finally became honest.

Only those important townships and towns were accepted, and some remote township devils basically gave up. In their opinion, it is very troublesome to send troops to such a remote and worthless township.

There are too many factions, and there are not so many troops to adjust. There are fewer pies, and they don't work at all. At least as far as the overall situation in Zaozhuang is concerned, the strength of the Eighth Route Army has, to a certain extent, surpassed the garrison deployed by the little devils in Zaozhuang.

Now that the Eighth Route Army is not making trouble, the little devil is also happy to be idle. In short, the chaotic situation in Zaozhuang for nearly a month finally ended with the Eighth Route Army taking the initiative to retreat and the little devils also quitting the truce.

Although the leader of the column felt pity, the commander Zhang Jingshan also understood very well: "In fact, Comrade Tiehu made a very wise choice to give the order to rest and recuperate. If they continue to fight, it will not be very beneficial for them either.

Although they can still eliminate some little devils, they really want to force the little devils in a hurry, and send the main force of a division and regiment over, but I am afraid that they will not be able to resist at all. It is the wisest decision to accept it.

During this time, the task force almost wiped out the troops of the Little Devil Brigade, and the captured supplies were even more innumerable. Earlier, Comrade Tiehu had sent a telegram that the first batch of seized materials had been sent to the column through the underground transportation station.

Moreover, Political Commissar Luo, who advanced into the column a few more times, also sent us a message of thanks. After they arrived in Jining, they also received a lot of help from the task force. If the task force continues to fight, it will only do more harm than good.

Now while the little devils don't dare to move at will, they can seize the time to digest the fruits of victory. We should seize the time to train the newly expanded units and enrich the combat strength of the detachment. When they fight again next time, their combat effectiveness will be greatly developed.

As for opening up the base areas between Zaozhuang and Linyi, at least the time has not yet come. If we really want to provoke the little devils, the little devils stationed near the enemy's 32nd Division will definitely not sit idly by, and will send a large force to sweep us.

At present, the most important task of our troops behind enemy lines is to expand and develop. At this point, the task force did a very good job. Therefore, I am still very supportive of the decision of the task force! ”

His family knows his own affairs, and he can't think that he can kill all the little devils in Zaozhuang because of the phased victory. If that kind of thing really happens, the little devil has not completely fried the pot, which can connect the strategic places of the north and the south!

At that time, not only will the Japanese troops stationed in Shandong send a large force to encircle and suppress them, but even the Japanese troops stationed in Jiangsu will also organize troops to enter Zaozhuang and adopt the method of encircling and annihilating the Eighth Route Army operating in Zaozhuang.

If something like that really happens, even if Zhao Tiehu can bring the main force out. But the bases and base areas they have worked so hard to manage may be completely destroyed by the little devils. This also means that the hard work in the early stage will be in vain.

Including Li Yu, the political commissar of the column, said: "Comrades, since the arrival of the task force in Shandong, whether it is in the armed resistance behind enemy lines or in the matter of collecting materials for the column, they have performed very well and completed the task very successfully.

Earlier, the commander-in-chief had also promised that if the task force had the strength to develop into a column, then in the future the task force would also be Tig as a new column of our army in Shandong. As for Comrade Zhao Tiehu, he is also an old revolutionary of our party and our army.

As with the commander's opinion, I felt that it would be best to stop the task force at the right time. As for opening up the base areas and guerrillas between the two places. I believe that there is still a chance to follow!

After all, earlier the former political commissar of the 115th Division, Luo, had already led an elite unit under the command of the 115th Division to form an advance force and stationed in southwest Lu to carry out an armed war of resistance behind enemy lines. I'm sure they'll do the same.

When the advance column has gained a firm foothold in the Jining area, our three armies may be able to unite the base areas of Jining, Linyi, and Zaozhuang. In that case, even if the little devils come to sweep again, we don't have to worry too much. ”

In fact, this idea is also what the Eighth Route Army Headquarters wants to see at present. It's just that if you want to accomplish this goal, you are only afraid that the two columns will follow Zhao Tiehu, and you will have to work hard to continue to develop the strength of the troops.

Once the Japanese army realized that the three separate Eighth Route Armies were trying to carry out a joint operation, in order to avoid further deterioration of the situation in Shandong, the Japanese army would certainly mobilize heavy troops in the hope of preventing such a thing from happening.

Zhao Tiehu, who had already returned to the Teng County headquarters, didn't pay much attention to what the column would think after reporting the recent work plan. As the person in charge of the Eighth Route Army in Zaozhuang, Zhao Tiehu can only take care of Zaozhuang's affairs at the moment.

Continue to fight the little devils, although you can still eliminate some little devils, but it will also attract more little devils to retaliate. And at the moment, the little devils are in a hurry to build the railway, hoping to transport the backlog of supplies to the front line, and other things can only be postponed.

Now that the situation in Zaozhuang has stabilized, and the work of railway repair is progressing relatively smoothly, the little devil will naturally not take the initiative to provoke the Eighth Route Army. But according to Tan Changze's report, the little devil has also made unusual moves recently.

'You mean, there's been a lot of plainclothes devils in the city lately?' ’

'Yes! According to the report of our traffic officer in the city, there is a group of little devils wearing the clothes of our people who live in the little devils' stronghold in Zaozhuang. According to the traffic officer, those people didn't look like little devils at all. ’

'So how did the traffic officer know they were little devils?' ’

By chance, the traffic officer saw those people chatting with the little devil's officer, and they were talking all devils. After those little devil officers are gone, these people can talk to the people on the street when they usually go out. ’

As soon as he heard Tan Changze's report, Zhao Tiehu also said tightly in his heart: "The advance team of the little devils!" ”

'Detachment leader, what advance team?' ’

'A group of armed spies who can speak Chinese and even dialects and understand our habits. If you still don't understand, then I'll change the description, and I guess you'll understand. It's similar to our special operations team! ’

'What? Detachment leader, you said that gang is a special combat team of little devils? ’

'Their combat capabilities may not be comparable to our special combat team. But the destruction they will do to our base areas will be far greater than that of ordinary little devils. Do you imagine what will happen if they enter the base area under the guise of our troops?

The common people are defenseless against us, and once they pretend to be our guerrillas and regular troops, appear in our base areas, and even grasp the location of our bases, what do you think will happen at that time? ’

Although Zhao Tiehu had not seen much information about the Anti-Japanese War in his previous life, he also knew that the little devil had been plotting against China for many years, and at a very early stage, he sent a group of trained young people to lurk in China as orphans or other identities.

These people were raised by the Chinese people, and their living habits and behavior are no different from ordinary Chinese people. But in fact, they all underwent rigorous military training, as well as rigorous intelligence gathering training.

Once such a group of people infiltrates the base areas behind enemy lines of the Eighth Route Army, the destructive effects they cause will be far beyond the imagination of the Eighth Route Army. Zhao Tiehu was also quite surprised by the appearance of this group of people.

sneered: "It seems that the little devil really looks down on us and takes out such a killer army!" Tell us that the underground traffic officer in Zaozhuang should pay close attention to the movements of this group of little devils, and be careful when keeping an eye on the sentry.

Forget it, you call the big head over, and I'll select a few scouts from the special operations team to keep an eye on this group. Once they're out of town, be sure to look for an opportunity to catch them. They are absolutely not allowed to enter our base.

At the same time, the advance column and the first column were given a report to report the situation, so that they could pay close attention to the unidentified armed personnel in the domestic base areas. It is best to do some necessary countermeasures and inspections in our defense area.

Normally, these people don't come into contact with our main forces, but they will gather the location of our headquarters and main forces. Sometimes, they also provide ground bombing guidance for their air force, and these people must be eliminated! ”

Accompanied by Zaozhuang, a group of special little devils came to Qingxi, and with the radio waves, it was sent from Zaozhuang to the other two columns and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. Mr. Zhu, who learned the news, also understood the damage that this gang of little devils could cause.

Therefore, he also said in a timely manner: "Inform all the combat troops behind enemy lines of the situation discovered by the tiger cubs." In addition, the examination of guerrilla members must also be strict, so that little devils cannot be allowed to infiltrate our ranks! ”

Compared with other ordinary officers, Mr. Zhu, an old soldier, knows very well that the little devil is very sinister. Sometimes they prepare for many years in order to complete a plan. And this invasion of China, they naturally planned it carefully for many years.

From the Republic of China to the warlord melee, the little devils sent countless spies to China. These people are extremely hidden, and people who don't know their identities don't realize that they are spies planted by little devils.

For this reason, Mr. Zhu also felt that it was necessary to pay attention to the information reported by Zhao Tiehu. At the worst of all, it is necessary to let the commanders of all units know in their hearts that there is such a group of little devils.

Otherwise, if these little devils really touched the core stronghold of the Eighth Route Army that day, the consequences would be very fatal. The most infuriating thing is that many times the troops who were attacked did not know how the secrets were leaked.
