Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Special Test Before the Battle
(PS: It's the annual July Seven again, and this year is the 80th anniversary of the July Seven Incident, and a chapter has been added to commemorate it, and all the descendants of Yan and Huang should not forget the national shame!) Remember what happened today in history! )
Even if an infantry brigade is suddenly added to the territory of Zaozhuang, it seems that Zaozhuang can not see anything. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor the common people, there are a large number of little devils in the city, and all they can do is to go out as little as possible.
Plainclothes spies and puppet soldiers who were hiding in the city and at home earlier, and didn't dare to go out easily, although they felt that their safety was much more secure. But for the reconnaissance mission explained by the little devil, many plainclothes and puppet soldiers feel that this is not a good errand.
Although Zaozhuang is still the world of little devils at the moment, the big moves made by the Eighth Route Army in Zaozhuang during this time still make these plainclothes spies and puppet soldiers fearful. I'm afraid that they will be the next ones on the blacklist.
Even the squires who supported the little devils in the past have become much more cautious this time. Even many people could feel that these squires were a little more polite than before when they treated them.
According to the conclusions reached by these squires, the squires eradicated by the Eighth Route Army were more of those who were close to the little devils and had great public anger. Some honest squires with a good reputation, the Eighth Route Army seems to really have no offenses.
In order to save their own lives and also keep their family property from being confiscated by the Eighth Route Army, these squires are much more cautious and low-key. After all, those squires who died in Zaozhuang City are the best examples.
In the face of plainclothes spies, puppet soldiers and even squires, they all began to fear the Eighth Route Army, and the commander of the Japanese brigade sitting in Zaozhuang undoubtedly seemed very dissatisfied. But he knew that killing alone would not solve the problem.
If you want these people who have defected to the Japanese army to really trust them to provide protection, then the next thing the Japanese army has to do is to show real skills and wipe out this group of Eighth Route Army wandering in Zaozhuang.
In addition, the commander of the Japanese brigade also couldn't think of many ways to change the status quo. After all, Shandong is not what it was when they first invaded. Today's Shandong, in fact, is under their control, and indiscriminate killing is only afraid of arousing more resistance!
What the little devil thinks, Zhao Tiehu naturally doesn't care too much. After selecting the combat target, Zhao Tiehu led the commando team that came down from Yufeng Ridge to sneak into Weishan Island very covertly and carefully, and even rested on the island for a day.
This time, he led the commando team to the Weishan Lake area, and Zhao Tiehu felt that there was a goal worth doing. This target is the Japanese River Defense Brigade stationed near Weishan Lake, a Japanese river defense unit responsible for patrolling the lake.
On the evening of their arrival at Weishan Island, the reconnaissance personnel brought in the rest of the gang who had already served as the guerrilla leader of Weishan Lake. After a period of contact, Yu Zhenghe, nicknamed Yu Stallhead, finally chose to join the Eighth Route Army.
Yu Zhenghe was undoubtedly very excited about Zhao Tiehu's appointment of him as the guerrilla leader of Weishan Lake. Today, Yujiazhuang has established a militia of more than 30 people to protect the village, and there are nearly 100 members of the guerrillas.
Knowing that Zhao Tiehu led a large army to Weishan Lake, he had been inactive during this time, and Yu Zhenghe, who was more engaged in reconnaissance and vigilance tasks, also seemed very surprised. But he knew that Zhao Tiehu must have something big to do when he came to Weishan.
Looking at the troops who were resting and guarding in the camp, Yu Zhenghe, who was invited, was also very excited and said, "Detachment leader, why did you come here?" Is there a big move? Is there anything we need to work with? ”
Facing Yu Zhenghe, who was excited, Zhao Tiehu smiled and said, "Old Yu, how is the situation of your guerrillas during this time?" Do you need any troop support? How are the folks? ”
'We're all okay! It's just that we heard that the little devil has sent a large army over again, and we are a little worried. Now the lake is frozen in many places, and the villagers basically stop fishing. However, everyone's life will still pass! ’
Compared with other troops stationed in Weishan, they collected taxes or grain from the people at every turn. The Eighth Route Army, which is now stationed on Weishan Island, from time to time delivers food and clothing to the poor people in some fishing villages, and even repairs houses for the people.
It can be said that most of the fishing villages living near Weishan Lake today have become fortress villages of the second detachment. Taking advantage of the lack of fishing in winter, many fishing villages began to build fortifications in front of the villages under the leadership of the escort team.
In the guerrilla base, many recruits who have joined the guerrillas are undergoing military training. As a guerrilla leader, Yu Zhenghe, even though he knew that this was a matter of losing his head, still chose to join this anti-Japanese team.
In his opinion, if the people of the fishing village want to really live a good life in the future, they may really only be able to count on these Eighth Route Army. If it is simply pretending, maybe Yu Zhenghe will feel that the Eighth Route Army is fake. But the truth is that the Eighth Route Army did just that.
I thought that this winter, many people in fishing villages were afraid that they would starve to death or freeze to death. However, in addition to providing a lot of materials for the winter, the Eighth Route Army also found work for many people in fishing villages, built fortifications in the village, and exchanged food and materials.
Such an approach undoubtedly made many people accept the existence of the Eighth Route Army. It's just that in these circumstances, Yu Zhenghe also told the people in the fishing village to keep it strictly confidential. As for how long it can be kept secret, Yu Zhenghe actually has no bottom in his heart.
After chatting about some homely words, Zhao Tiehu also said in a timely manner: "Lao Yu, didn't you tell Cheng Wu a while ago that your guerrillas lack fishing boats?" I'm here this time to get some big guys for you, so I wonder if you can make it?
Some time ago, the little devil river defense brigade was choked by us enough, you should know this news, right? As far as I know, there are a lot of gunboats and patrol boats of little devils on the dock of the river defense battalion, can you drive these boats? ”
As soon as these words came out, Yu Zhenghe's eyes widened and said in disbelief: "Detachment leader, do you want to find the river defense brigade of the little devil?" ”
'Nice! At present, the large army of little devils is more deployed in Yi County, Teng County and Zaozhuang City. On the side of Weishan Lake, the little devil didn't pay much attention to it. Perhaps in the eyes of the little devils, they have no opponent here.
But the little devil seems to have forgotten that it is winter now, and many parts of the lake are frozen. Although the gunboats of the little devils will occasionally come out to patrol once. But these gunboats could not enter the vicinity of the fishing village, which had become icy.
The matter of fighting the river defense brigade will be left to me to solve. But if you can't find one that can drive a boat, then I'll just blow it up. After all, this thing can't be left to the little devils, don't you say? ’
'You can't blow it up, you can't blow it up, it's all good stuff!' Detachment leader, please rest assured, we don't have much else in Weishan Lake, and there must be a lot of people who drive the boat. As long as you can destroy the little devils, I'll find someone to drive those gunboats away.
It's just that these gunboats and patrol boats are very conspicuous, and after we capture them, we have to find a place to hide them. But don't worry, I'll take care of it, and I'll make sure to keep the gunboats and patrol boats hidden. ’
'Okay, I'll leave that to you.' I'm going to do it tonight, and then you'll get the boat sailing ready, no problem, right? ’
'Nope! There are quite a few young students on the team who have sailed merchant ships before, and I'll take them with me later. But can we really clean up those little devils tonight? As far as I know, there are still hundreds of little devils there? ’
'Rest assured, I never fight a battle that I am not sure of. You prepare the sailor, and I'll take care of the rest. ’
After arranging the matter of being responsible for driving the boat, Zhao Tiehu did not leave Yu Zhenghe and his party longer. In the evening, the scouts who had been sent out to reconnoiter also returned safely and brought back news about the Japanese River Defense Brigade.
After reading the Japanese army's defense map drawn by the reconnaissance team, Zhao Tiehu felt that it was really a bit troublesome to attack head-on. After reading it, he said: "Chengwu, wait and pick some water-based ones from the commando, prepare some spirits to warm up, and launch a surprise attack from the river tonight." ”
Hearing this, Li Chengwu was also surprised and said, "Detachment leader, it's too cold in the river this weather, right?" ”
'What are you afraid of when it's cold?' I can't bear this cold, and if the weather gets a little colder in the future, then I won't have to fight? What's more, didn't I ask you to prepare some spirits? There is a wine to warm up, as long as you stick to it, it won't be so uncomfortable. ’
In Zhao Tiehu's view, there are not many people who dare to swim in winter in this year. But for future generations of special forces, winter swimming is also a very normal training. This kind of thing, when there are more times in the future, I believe that the soldiers will also get used to it.
It's really because many people think that the river is very fatal in this weather, so the river defense brigade stationed at Weishan Lake puts more troops on the shore. On the contrary, near the docks, not too many troops were deployed.
In Zhao Tiehu's view, launching a surprise attack from the river can not only ensure that the little devils in the camp will not escape, but also capture those gunboats and patrol boats. With these small gunboats and patrol boats, they can also launch surprise attacks on the little devils in the future.
The fishermen around Weishan Lake, why are they afraid of the river defense forces of the little devils, but they are more afraid of the gunboats and patrol boats of the little devils. Not to mention that the ships of these little devils are equipped with cannons and machine guns, and their tonnage is heavier than that of fishing boats, and most of them are ironclad ships.
If the guerrillas have these ships, it will be much easier to find opportunities to raid the transport fleets of the little devils in the future. Find the opportunity to hide in again next time, it is estimated that it will make the little devil feel unguardable.
After some selection, Zhao Tiehu looked at the more than fifty team members found by Li Chengwu, and said seriously: "In order to ensure the success of tonight's raid, I need to do a test, and if I pass, follow me tonight." ”
Regarding Zhao Tiehu's so-called test, many fighters felt a little curious. Not long after the results, Zhao Tiehu told these fighters that if they wanted to become a member of tonight's raid team, they had to first carry the next quiz.
The method of the test is actually very simple, that is, take off the cotton clothes and pants on the body, and bathe in the snow with snow. Seeing this scene, many fighters were a little dumbfounded, but there were still many fighters who chose to give it a try.
Many veterans know that only by following Zhao Tiehu can they learn real skills. And when Li Chengwu was selected before, he also reminded the fighters with good water nature. Seeing Zhao Tiehu taking a snow bath for testing, many fighters mostly guessed that they were only afraid of going into the water tonight.
Going into the water in such a cold weather is enough to think about. It seems that it takes some courage to become a member of the raid team!
