With the two dozen Japanese puppet troops stationed in Zhangzhuang by the Hutou Mountain guerrilla detachment, the situation around the entire Yushe seemed to have become tense all of a sudden. Many of the anti-Japanese troops operating in Yushe www.biquge.info found that the number of times the little devils went out of the township was significantly reduced.

This eerie silence seems to have a bit of a pre-storm flavor. However, in view of this situation, all the units of the Eighth Route Army, which had already launched a grain protection operation, undoubtedly breathed a sigh of relief and began to help the people harvest grain in an organized manner.

For the fortress villages developed by the Eighth Route Army, the grain in these villages was naturally purchased and stored by the Eighth Route Army. And the people who sold grain could also exchange the materials needed for life from the Eighth Route Army or give money directly.

The floating wealth seized from the previous attack on Zhangzhuang was also enough for the 772nd Regiment to purchase a large amount of grain for storage. With enough food, the 772nd Regiment does not have to worry too much about food in the next stage.

It's just that for Zhao Tiehu, listening to the information fed back by the scouts, he said with a little puzzlement: "The little devil stayed in the town for three days and didn't come out?" Could it be that they don't want to go down to collect grain? You won't be scared by us, will you? ”

'Captain, do you think there will be a conspiracy in this?' We slapped them in the mouth these two times, it stands to reason that they should have encircled and swept us up, right? Why did you suddenly come as a turtle with a shrunken head? ’

As the deputy detachment leader, Liu Cheng also felt that there was something obviously wrong with this situation. But for a while, he couldn't tell what was wrong. In any case, if the little devil does not come out, the villagers can successfully harvest the wheat back to the warehouse.

'Conspiracy? This is really uncertain, but at the moment, the forces of the little devils are scattered in various towns and villages, and it must be a little difficult to gather them all at once. If troops are transferred from the county seat, it is estimated that they will also worry about the safety of the county seat.

No matter what medicine is sold in the little devil's gourd, since the little devil in Zhangzhuang is honest, then we will notify the nearby villages and hurry up to harvest the wheat. In addition, send scouts to Liucheng Township to carry out reconnaissance and find out the situation there! ’

As soon as these words came out, Liu Cheng said with a little surprise: "Captain, are you going to fight the Liucheng Township Office?" ”

'Scout first, and then talk about whether you scout or not. In this situation, we can't sit back and wait for the little devils to make a move, but should take the initiative. Only by disrupting the defense deployment of the little devil can we discover the true intentions of the little devil.

As far as the current situation is concerned, unless all the little devils in the Yushe are assembled, it will be difficult for them to pose an effective threat to us. I think this, the commander of the little devil should be clear. So how do you break the deadlock? ’

'Bring troops from somewhere else?' ’

That's right! Only by continuing to mobilize heavy troops from other places can the little devils complete the task of collecting food. Now they don't even come out of the town, and they are thinking that after they destroy us in the future, the food will be theirs sooner or later.

In this case, we can't continue to wait, but should take the initiative to eliminate some more little devils and disrupt their deployment. As long as the little devil starts to make moves, we will also see the tricks at that time.

Liucheng Township is not far from our base, and the location is even more remote than Zhangzhuang. Although most of the guerrillas who were active there were the Jin Sui army. But during this time, I didn't hear any action from the Jin Sui army, so we added fuel to them. ’

'Do you want to ask the above about this?' ’

'No need! Yushe itself is the base area behind the enemy lines of our 772nd Regiment, and Liucheng Township is also our guerrilla area. Although we don't have troops there, it doesn't mean that we can't go there to fight devils.

Since the Jin Suijun didn't do anything there and didn't dare to provoke those little devils stationed in the township office, then we will fight for them. Hitting the little devils there is a beating, do you still need to ask for instructions on this matter? That's it! ’

Perhaps because of the belligerence in his bones, Zhao Tiehu, who rested at the base for two days, always wanted to find something to do. Most importantly, he had just seconded a platoon of troops from the battalion headquarters, but he couldn't find any opportunity to fight.

It would be a bit of a waste to continue like this. And Zhao Tiehu can feel to some extent that after the end of this grain harvest, the little devil is bound to organize a large-scale sweeping operation. At worst, it will also strengthen the blockade and material control of the surrounding area.

In order to strive for the storage of more materials, and for the follow-up anti-sweeping operation, Zhao Tiehu felt that it was necessary to take advantage of the lack of troops of the little devils to fight a few more battles with the little devils, and in addition to beating the troops, he also stored more weapons and ammunition.

As Zhao Tiehu ordered the reconnaissance detachment, the direction of reconnaissance was more focused on Liucheng Township. Not long after, the scout in charge of going to Liuchengxiang to reconnoiter returned to the base and gave a general account of the situation in Liuchengxiang.

'There is a squad of devil soldiers stationed in the township office, and there are dozens of puppet soldiers from the township office. Compared with Zhangzhuang, a town wall was built, and most of the little devils stationed in Liucheng Township lived in the town office in the town. ’

The reconnaissance situation told by the scout made Zhao Tiehu also very satisfied: "It seems that my guess is right, the little devil really does not send many troops to the towns and villages." A squad, we are fully capable of annihilating them all.

Lao Liu, order the troops to prepare for battle. The recruit platoon continues to stay at the base to watch over the family. The battalion headquarters guard platoon and our three combat detachments, except for the personnel on duty, all the rest of the personnel prepared ammunition and raided the Liucheng Township Office tonight.

By the way, it is relatively close to the second company, so I sent someone to ride a horse to inform the commander of the second company. Have him in the neighborhood ready to answer when he arrives, and if he hears the gunshots, let them come and help. When the time comes, share a little benefit from them. ”

'Yes, Captain! With this good thing, the second company commander is probably going to jump happily! ’

Most of the troops stationed around Zhangzhuang were under the jurisdiction of one battalion. Compared with the current situation of the three companies, the overall situation of the other three companies of the first battalion is not too optimistic. But it was better than the companies of the other battalions.

In the final analysis, during these crackdowns on bandits and attacks on Zhangzhuang, Zhao Tiehu did transfer a lot of materials to the battalion headquarters. Most of the materials transferred to the battalion headquarters were allocated to the other three companies, making the life of the three companies much better.

At least Zhao Tiehu heard Liu Cheng say that when the four company commanders went to the battalion headquarters for a meeting the previous time, the other three company commanders all joked about Zhu Chengxi and became a rich man sitting at home and holding money. I envy Zhao Tiehu, his mother's family who came out of their three companies!

But for Zhao Tiehu, whether it is the third company or other companies, as long as he can do it, he will help him. In the final analysis, to improve the combat effectiveness of these companies is also to improve their own safety factor.

If the little devil targets him in the future and makes up his mind to kill him, without the help of other troops, Zhao Tiehu will also feel that he can't bear it. In the final analysis, the Eighth Route Army stationed in various parts of Yushe is actually a family.

After the battle order was issued, Zhao Tiehu took a cavalry squad and rushed to Liucheng Township in advance to carry out pre-war reconnaissance. As for the troops that participated in the follow-up battle, they were led by Liu Cheng and came with war materials.

Considering that this operation also required rapid action, Zhao Tiehu did not let Liu Cheng carry the mortar, but asked him to bring the captured little devil grenadier canister. This thing is good to use, and it is not much less powerful than a mortar.

And the armament of a Japanese squad was also without mortars, only a few grenadiers. With similar weapons but a clear advantage in numbers, Zhao Tiehu felt that it should not be a problem to take the Liucheng Township Office.

When Zhao Tiehu began to take Li Hao and others to reconnoiter the situation in Liu Chengxiang, the messengers sent by Liu Cheng also arrived at the station where the second company was located. Looking at the communicator who suddenly appeared, the second company commander also looked a little surprised.

After the messenger who reported the message on horseback explained the situation, the commander of the second company was very surprised: "What? Are you going to hit the township office? Doesn't your captain know that there's a squad of little devils stationed there? ”

"Company Commander Chen, the situation in Liu Chengxiang, we have already reconnoitred in advance. This time, in addition to the whole detachment, we also borrowed a guard platoon from the battalion headquarters. There should be no problem with the Japanese puppet army who took the township office.

Our captain has asked me to inform you, and I hope you will help strengthen your momentum when the time comes. In addition, after the battle, we will definitely not be able to take all the captured materials with us, so you can also help transfer the materials at that time. ’

'Wow! Your captain's tone is really not small, and before the battle is fought, he wants to divide the spoils. Okay, it's rare that your captain thinks of our second company, so this time we will help our second company. Now I will gather my troops and be sure to pull them to the countryside on time. ’

No matter what Company Commander Chen thought in his heart, he knew that Zhao Tiehu was undoubtedly the most beautiful person in the whole regiment during this time. Compared with the situation in Zhangzhuang, the situation in Liuchengxiang is undoubtedly simpler now.

If Liu Chengxiang's little devil can be solved, then in the short term, Lian Chang Chen believes that his pressure will be reduced a lot. The most important thing is that through this battle, the Jin Suijun who are operating in the surrounding area can know that they dare to stab the hornet's nest of the little devils.

In addition, the people in the countryside can also know that their Eighth Route Army came here to fight the little devils sincerely. It will not make some people complain, they only know what kind of guerrilla they are fighting in the village every day.

When Zhao Tiehu arrived and the second company also launched an operation, the Japanese squad stationed in Liuchengxiang had received a notice from the city, asking them to be more vigilant recently. But in the eyes of these Japanese soldiers, they still wish someone would come and sneak attack.

Only when the Eighth Route Army takes the initiative to send it to the door can they have military exploits to earn. In the eyes of many little devils, in addition to playing sneak attacks, if a group of dirt eight roads really want to compete head-to-head, they must be the ones who want to win!
