There have been several examples of the county being captured in the past, and the little devil naturally knows that the Eighth Route Army is very good at night attacks and sieges. And every time before attacking the county seat, there is always a way to kill the Japanese puppet army patrolling the city first.

According to some information controlled by the little devil, among the Eighth Route Army operating in Zaozhuang, there are a group of soldiers who are good at cold weapon combat. In this case, the little devil came up with a way to set up a light and dark whistle and deploy a secret post at some commanding heights in the city.

As a result, it didn't come to pass, and the defensive deployment that was supposed to be effective was discovered by the special combat team that personally led the team in. Shun Teng touched the melon to solve these secret posts first, and finally repeated the old trick and killed the Japanese puppet army in charge of patrolling the city.

After this period of curfew, the people in the city did not dare to go out at will. Even if you can't sleep, you have to stay at home, and the consequences of going out and wandering the streets at night are often caught or killed.

The people did not dare to go out, which meant that the Eighth Route Army secretly entered the city and set up artillery positions near the little devil's barracks, all of which the little devils did not notice at all. After all, the little devils in front of the barracks can see patrols passing in front of the barracks from time to time.

This gives the little devils in the barracks an assumption that the city is safe tonight. In fact, these soldiers who pretended to be patrols with torches were simply soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who cooperated with the infiltration and siege of the city.

When the Eighth Route Army set up artillery positions and carried out artillery sneak attacks on their camps at close range, the stunned little devils could only choose to counterattack in a hurry. At this moment, the Eighth Route Army has surrounded the little devil's barracks.

Compared with the little devil who chose to resist stubbornly in the barracks and cooperated with the puppet army company commander of the Eighth Route Army into the city, he brought part of the Eighth Route Army directly into the camp where the puppet army was stationed, killed the little devil who was in charge of supervision, and quickly woke up the rest of the puppet army.

After successfully capturing the captain of the puppet army, looking at the many puppet soldiers who were called out of the barracks one after another, Xu Lixing, who was rebelled, also stood boldly in front of the puppet army, ready to try his best to rebel against a group of puppet troops as required by his superiors.

For this reason, he also said calmly: "Brothers, I am Xu Lixing of the Third Company, and I have chosen to join the Eighth Route Army. Just now, we have opened the south gate and brought the main force of the Eighth Route Army into the city. Listen, that cannon sound was fired by the Eighth Route Army! ”

Listening to the small devil military camp and the command headquarters in the city, there was a loud noise and fierce firefights, I don't know how many Eighth Route Army troops came in tonight. But for many of the puppet soldiers, they seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, it is better to be a prisoner than to go to the battlefield, and the most important thing is to be a prisoner of the Eighth Route Army, as long as they are honest and obedient, they don't have to worry about their lives. As for those officers, they still have to be treated differently.

Those who know the Eighth Route Army know that most of the Eighth Route Army is very polite to ordinary puppet soldiers. However, when dealing with those officers of the puppet army, most of them will first interrogate to confirm whether the other party has evil deeds and then consider the corresponding treatment.

Secondly, many puppet soldiers knew that compared to their fight with the troops of the Zhong Yan Army, they could either be killed or taken prisoner, so they could only choose to join the Zhong Yan Army. And the Eighth Route Army, on its part, does not seem to force them to join.

The puppet soldiers who had this idea soon heard Xu Lixing continue: "Brothers, I can't tell the truth. But as you all know, the common people poke our backbones behind our backs and scold us as traitors and yellow-skinned.

I know that many of you, like my old Xu, are soldiers carrying guns just to beg for food. But now we are carrying guns for the little devils, how do they treat us? Those who are officials eat fragrant and spicy food, and those who are soldiers eat bran vegetables.

We do what we are tired of, we do what we are scolded, and we do what we do when we are killed. I'm sure you've all heard about the things in Teng County before. Do you still think that while being scolded by the people, you are still working for the little devils?

Having said all this, I just want to say that next I will join the Eighth Route Army with our company. Although the Eighth Route Army did not pay military salaries, they paid attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, and those who were officers ate what they ate also ate.

The most important thing is that even if the people are a little afraid of them, but if you inquire privately, the people don't give a thumbs up to the Eighth Route Army. Even if you die in battle, the Eighth Route Army will collect your body and give your family a pension.

And he carried a gun for the little devil, and he really died in battle that day, but I am afraid that there is no one to collect the body, let alone enter the ancestral grave. Wait a minute, if you are willing to join the Eighth Route Army with me, let's join the Eighth Route Army together, and be a hero who resists Japan and saves the country.

If you don't want to join the Eighth Route Army, and you still think it's better to work for the little devil, we won't do anything to you. It's just that the next time we meet on the battlefield, then don't blame us for not having long eyes. Brothers, think about it! ”

After saying the truth bluntly, a puppet army soon said: "Company Commander Xu, I want to join the Eighth Route Army, but my father and mother are in the city." If I join the Eighth Route Army, what if the little devil takes revenge on my father? ”

Faced with the worries of some puppet soldiers from Yixian County, the company commander of the Eighth Route Army soon stood up and said: "If you are worried that your parents will be retaliated against by the little devils, you can call your family and go to the guerrilla area with the troops."

In the guerrilla zone, we can distribute land to your family, and as long as you work well in the army, I believe that your life will get better and better. Although our troops do not pay salaries, they do send some supplies every once in a while.

Every time the unit wins, the meritorious soldier receives some material reward. Although there was only some food and cloth, it was also a little bit of the army's heart. The most important thing is that our Eighth Route Army pays attention to those who are capable and those who cannot go down.

As long as you have the ability, you can also be a squad leader, a platoon commander or even a company commander in the future. I believe that after we get rid of the little devils and liberate the whole country, you will also live a really good life. ”

As the task force continued to grow and develop, Zhao Tiehu also began to consider accepting some soldiers of the puppet army anyway. Compared with the officers of the puppet army, Zhao Tiehu felt that the puppet soldiers recruited by these little devils on the spot were easier to educate.

They were dragged into a camp in the mountains, where they underwent about three months of political education and military training. After assigning them to various troops, Zhao Tiehu believed that they would not be able to hold the regiment, and they would not be able to easily cause damage to the troops.

Another advantage of co-opting these puppet armies is to reduce the number of puppet armies under the command of the little devils. After all, Zaozhuang is so big, even if the little devil wants to pull a strong man, he must consider whether the strong man who pulls into the team is credible.

And another advantage of these puppet soldiers recruited locally is that he is a puppet army, and his family has to obey the management of the little devils. Correspondingly, if he chooses to join the Eighth Route Army, his family will be the military family of the Eighth Route Army.

It was precisely because of the many benefits that Zhao Tiehu thought about further expanding the scale of the task force after receiving the expansion order from the headquarters. Even Zhao Tiehu is considering gradually expanding the scale of the base areas of each detachment.

Some relatively remote townships and towns were all included in the scope of the Eighth Route Army's base area management. In this way, the Eighth Route Army will not only have a solid base area, but will also be able to solve the problem of logistical supply for the troops.

Most importantly, having a base area will allow more people to be resettled. When the time comes, as long as the common people are asked to privately compare their life in the occupied areas with their life in the base areas, where life is better, the people will have a good reputation in their hearts.

When Xu Lixing came forward to persuade the puppet army on behalf of the Eighth Route Army, Zhao Tiehu led the special combat team to rush into the headquarters of the little devil at the fastest speed. Even if the little devil who was close at hand wanted to rescue, he couldn't break through the blocking line of the Eighth Route Army.

At this moment, the command of only one gendarmerie squad was powerless to resist in the face of these special combat personnel who rushed in like wolves and swept with submachine guns. It's even tragic that the little devil's garrison didn't even have time to send a telegram.

Looking at the Eighth Route Army, which rushed into the headquarters, they immediately took control of their shelled telegraph room, and the gendarmes in charge of blocking it were also knocked to the ground. What the Yi County garrison could do was to retreat under the protection of the military police.

It's just that as the main forces of the first and third detachments of the Eighth Route Army entered the city one after another, and exchanged fire with the defending troops deployed by the little devils on the other three sides, Ruoda Yixian quickly became a mess.

The little devil troops, who have lost contact with the command, can only choose to fight on their own. At this moment, the soldiers of the two detachments that entered the city fought more and more fiercely, defeating the little devils who were short of troops.

The little devils who originally stationed a lot of troops in the barracks were under the shelling of the Eighth Route Army at the moment, and wanted to break through from the barracks, but they faced the resistance of the Eighth Route Army. The reinforcements from the military camp can't come out, and how long can the defending troops on duty tonight resist it?

After cleaning up the remaining little devils on three sides, the Eighth Route Army, which was responsible for clearing these little devils, quickly took over the city defense of the county seat. Some Japanese puppet soldiers who escaped from the city, thinking that they had picked up a life, did not expect that there were also people waiting for them outside the city.

Before the war, Zhao Tiehu ordered the mobilization of guerrillas and military workers around Yixian. The officers and men of these local troops, in addition to blocking the little devils who retreated from the city, were also responsible for blocking the township reinforcements that might have heard the news.

Looking at the little devils and puppet troops who had withdrawn from Yicheng in a group of three or five in disarray, many guerrillas said excitedly: "Captain, the little devils are out!" After waiting for most of the day, it's finally time to open! ”

For these guerrillas, they don't dare to fight against the big army of little devils, but they still have no problem fighting this kind of water dog-like rout. And for the partisans, it's also a credit!

And the captured loot, they can give priority to selection. For some guerrillas who want to expand, one more gun can be captured, and one more guerrilla can be recruited!

In the face of these 'ferocious' guerrillas rushing forward, these routed soldiers who escaped from Yicheng naturally ended up no better. After dealing with the fleeing rout, the people in the base area who were also waiting also entered the city one after another.

They came to Yicheng at this moment for only one purpose, and that was to transfer the spoils of war for the troops. Of course, occasionally pick up some things that can be at home, and the Eighth Route Army will not say anything. Therefore, this is also a good opportunity for them to make a fortune!
