The Japanese advance team that quietly left Zaozhuang City under the cover of night in three groups was extremely cautious and cautious from leaving the city to assembling outside the city. When each team leaves the city, they will send a guard post in front of and behind the team to prevent being ambushed or followed.

The special operations reconnaissance team that has been guarding this group of special little devils has seen that this group of little devils is so meticulous in their actions, and they are also very careful when they follow and follow them. Until the reconnaissance group, three teams were seen outside the city that had successfully converged.

Judging from the way these people are dressed, if it weren't for the fact that they knew in advance that they were impoverished. It is estimated that when the special operations detachment encounters them in the field or at night, it is estimated that they will also think that they are guerrillas, not little devils in the city.

The clothes worn by many little devils look a little shabby and patched, and there are even some dirty things on them, and these little devils don't seem to feel dirty. This kind of style really looks a little different from the little devil.

Just when the leader of the reconnaissance team was curious, these little devils who came out empty-handed, got weapons from there. The reconnaissance team soon discovered that one of the little devils who were gathering and converging was carrying a lantern-like thing.

Just when the scout team wondered what it was, they saw a little devil shake the handle next to the lantern. Soon the lantern shone brightly, and it was particularly dazzling on the hillside where these little devils gathered.

'Ugh! Team leader, what is the little devil doing? ’

'It should be a signal, all lie down, it is estimated that there are still little devils coming, don't let them find out.' ’

At night, when the lights were turned on in the mountains and forests, apart from transmitting signals, the leader of the reconnaissance team could not think of a second possibility. It also made him a little worried about whether someone had already spotted them when they followed them earlier.

Fortunately, this worry was quickly dispelled. Not long after, in the mountains and forests where this group of little devils gathered, the same light soon turned on again. A few minutes later, several imps dressed in ordinary people's clothes also appeared in the scout's sight.

Watching the two groups of little devils reunite in the city, it didn't even take long to find out a large number of weapons and equipment often used by the guerrillas from the grass in the mountains and forests. The leader of the reconnaissance team felt that this group of little devils really knew about the situation of the Zaozhuang guerrillas.

Compared to the main combat units of the task force, most of them use the same weapon. But as far as the guerrillas are concerned, as long as there is a rifle that can be fired, the guerrillas are not picky about whether it is used by the national * military or by little devils.

Even some of the bird guns used by the common people are now used by some guerrillas. And the equipment of this little devil looks similarly varied. If you really want to enter the fortress village where there are only militia units, no one will suspect them.

After these little devils were equipped with weapons, the scouts who followed from a distance could see that the last few people who came to join this group of little devils seemed to act as guides and lead the way in front.

And the speed of this group of little devils marching at night also surprised the scouts. It seems that this group of little devils is really well-trained, and even the iron foot board that the Eighth Route Army is best at, these little devils have learned very well.

Looking at the direction of the little devil's advance, it should be the defense area of the third division, and the leader of the reconnaissance team also called a person at the right time: "You take a shortcut, immediately tell Captain Zhu of the third division of the situation, and ask him to send a report to the detachment leader and ask for instructions on the next battle plan." ”

'Yes, Team Leader! Then be careful, I'll go first! ’

'Good! When you come back, just follow the route we tracked, and we'll leave a code along the way. ’

The special combat team also has a special indication signal, and if the average person doesn't know it, even if they see it, they don't know what it means. This kind of indication signal is also convenient for the follow-up people to successfully catch up with the people who are ahead.

When the scouts rushed to the third detachment to report the news, they arrived at the third detachment station around the early morning. Zhu Zixi, who was woken up, learned that he was a member of the special combat team, so he naturally knew that these people had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.

After listening to the news reported by the scouts, Zhu Zixi also sneered: "His grandmother, these little devils raised by bitches, they really can't be bullied by Lao Tzu's troops, and they dare to find Lao Tzu's troops first!" ”

In the face of Zhu Zixi's anger, the scout also said in a timely manner: "Team Zhu, let's hurry up and send a telegram to the captain to explain the situation." If there are no surprises, this gang of little devils will definitely enter our fortress village during the day.

When he came out, the captain explained that he needed to be especially careful with this group of little devils. Once you do it, you must wipe out all these little devils. It is estimated that this will, the captain is also waiting for news, so let's report the situation quickly! ”

"Okay, dare to say that the previous captain asked us to raise our vigilance and strictly investigate the unknown people, who are here for this group of little devils. Then you really have to seize the opportunity to serve this little devil in one pot! ’

With the telegram sent by the third detachment in the early morning, Zhao Tiehu, who was also woken up by the communicator, learned that this group of little devils had gone to the defense area of the third detachment. also knew that this group of little devils had finally taken action.

Looking at the information told by the scouts, Zhao Tiehu also said calmly: "The advance team of forty-five people actually has several guides, among whom are suspected traitors to lead the way. It seems that in recent years, there are really a lot of leading parties!

The third detachment called back and ordered Zhu Zixi to organize capable manpower to take down all these little devils under the condition of ensuring the safety of the people in the base area. At the same time, tell Zhu Zixi that this group of little devils is very insidious, and you must be more careful when acting.

In addition, don't do anything in the village, once this gang of little devils falls and surrounds, it is very likely that they will do something to hold the people hostage. The best way is to dig out all the hidden nails for me. ”

As the combat units began to recuperate, the people in the base areas also focused their energies on farming. Some of the people who originally stayed in the jurisdiction of the little devils also dragged their families and secretly ran to the base of the Eighth Route Army to survive.

For this situation, Zhao Tiehu naturally couldn't ignore it, and it was not easy to refuse. After letting these people be resettled by guerrillas or armed workers' teams to find suitable villages for them to resettle on their behalf, they were also told that they must find out the details of the other party.

In fact, the Eighth Route Army privately launched a corresponding investigation into every household that fled to the base area. Under normal circumstances, the Eighth Route Army would not place these civilians who later moved to the base area in the core area.

But even so, the new immigrants living in these resettlement villages know some things about the Eighth Route Army. After all, the guerrillas or armed forces who occasionally come to patrol the village often have to come into contact with the common people.

First, let's listen to the people's views on the troops, and second, on behalf of the Eighth Route Army, have more contact with the people to deepen their feelings. In this case, it is also very possible to inadvertently reveal some information.

When Zhu Zixi received this telegram, he knew that Zhao Tiehu would not remind him to keep his actions secret for no reason. Since it has been reminded, it means that there may be hidden enemies in the troops.

It's just that these people are very hidden, and it's not easy to dig them out. For this reason, when selecting and dispatching combat troops, Zhu Zixi finally decided to personally lead the detachment guard company to dispatch.

As a result, the scout who heard this decision stopped him in time and said, "Captain Zhu, your target is too big for you to personally lead the team out." If you trust our special operations team, then leave this matter to our special operations team and the guard company.

Wait a minute, you call the commander of the guard company and tell him about the mission. As long as he cooperates well with us, it should be no problem to take out these little devils. To be honest, there are few people here this time, so it's not difficult to start with them early! ”

Hearing the dissuasion of the special combat team, Zhu Zixi thought about it and felt that the other party's concerns were also reasonable. The commander of the guard company was ordered to be called and informed of the specific combat mission. In this regard, the commander of the guard company naturally expressed his determination to complete the task.

Although our detachment has not had a combat mission in the near future, you are the guard company of the detachment, and you have never been pulled off from training in peacetime. Wait a minute, your guard company will go out in the name of training, and when you arrive at the destination, you will cooperate with the special combat team.

The detachment leader attaches great importance to this group of little devils, so he must wipe them out. Tell the accompanying soldiers who dare to act without obeying orders during the battle. When you come back, leave me alone and punish him! ’

'Yes, please rest assured, captain, the guard company will ensure that the mission will be completed!' ’

He didn't stay at the 3rd detachment for long, and he didn't even blow the emergency assembly whistle. In less than 10 minutes, the guard company living at the detachment headquarters was quickly organized, carried out combat equipment, and followed the special combat personnel down the mountain to leave.

Many officers and men stationed in the garrison were also curious about the departure of the guard company. But when it comes to military tasks, it's not easy for others to ask much. After all, on the side of the third detachment, all military operations are decided by Zhu Zixi.

Compared with the existence of instructors in each company, the three detachment captains under Zhao Tiehu are all like him. Although there are some violations of discipline, for many people, what kind of instructor and political commissar does a combat detachment have?

This kind of thing is good if you can get along with your partner's temper, but if you can't get along, it will only make the troops below unable to adapt. At least as far as the current situation is concerned, Zhao Tiehu feels that the development of the army is quite good.

Moreover, Song Dabao of the first detachment and Zhu Zixi of the third detachment all changed from the Zhongyan Army and the Jin Sui Army. The political commissar system of the Eighth Route Army is still somewhat unsuitable.

Zhao Tiehu, who is also accustomed to monopolizing power, even if he knows that it is a bit of a violation of discipline to do so, he does not want his superiors to send a partner and political commissar who can only play tricks but has no real skills.

During this period, everything was dominated by military struggles, so there were many cases in which the military and the government were shoulder-to-shoulder. In the current situation, if there is an instructor in the third detachment, the instructor must be notified.

The more people who know the secrets, the higher the risk of leaks. Now, as long as Zhu Zixi doesn't say anything, those who dare to inquire blindly at will will also enter the vigilant sight of the army's intelligence officers.

Although no political cadres were dispatched, Zhao Tiehu also placed intelligence officers in the army. These people, both internally and externally, still have some ability in anti-reconnaissance and counter-espionage, and they can also monitor the troops in real time!
