Except for some people in the area where the incident occurred, they heard the sound of gunfire and knew that something was wrong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoMany people living in the county town are still a little puzzled by the little devil's big move out of the city today.

In the eyes of many ordinary people, the little devil is still desperately running out of the city in such a cold weather, thinking that something big must have happened. But no one expected that the Eighth Route Army would dare to give the little devil a ruthless blow when it was about to celebrate the New Year.

Fight the Zaozhuang Coal Mine, rescue the prisoners of war and miners, and at the same time destroy the coal mine carefully maintained by the little devils. Even if the little devils can still reopen in the later stage, I believe that the months of suspension can also alleviate some losses.

At least in Zhao Tiehu's view, the high-quality coal in Zaozhuang Coal Mine is undoubtedly what the Japanese army needs. Some of this high-quality coal is sent to smelters in the Northeast, and some are even loaded and shipped back to China by little devils.

These precious underground mineral resources, in Zhao Tiehu's opinion, can make the little devil plunder less, and can reduce the production of some weapons and ammunition for the little devil. With the start of the full-scale war of aggression against China, the demand for mineral resources is also growing.

At present, the little devils are in the occupied areas and are intensifying their exploitation, which is precisely to respond to this strategic need. Even if a Zaozhuang coal mine can't change anything, in Zhao Tiehu's view, it is meaningful to reduce a little loss.

With the rescued miners and many prisoners of war, he returned safely to the base of Yufengling. The third combat detachment that cooperated with the battle also began to set up blockades along the way, preparing to lure the little devils to other places.

It's just that to the surprise of the officers and men of the third detachment, the little devils who came one after another did not stop them at the first time. So that after the large troops were assembled one after another, the little devils began to pursue and hunt.

But on such a night, and even in the weather where snow is still falling from time to time, how easy it is to catch up with the Eighth Route Army, which intends to hide its whereabouts. At present, the little devil has not yet arrived, and Zhao Tiehu feels that the troops can also take a temporary rest.

As for the next, whether the little devil will go into the mountains to search and arrest depends on whether the little devil has such courage next. It is not easy to enter the mountain in normal times, but it is many times more difficult to enter the mountain on such a snowy day than usual.

Although the little devil did not chase after him for the time being, the corresponding defensive preparations still had to be made. Fortunately, after a few months of development, the third detachment has now developed some villages near Yufengling into fortress villages for guerrillas.

As long as the little devil enters the area where Yufeng Ridge is located, it is believed that it will be difficult to escape the attention of the militia team and guerrillas in the village guards. As for the little devil who wants to go into the mountains to search and arrest, he is afraid that the troops are too small and will not have any effect.

After Zhao Tiehu confessed to Zhu Zixi, he began to settle the rescued miners and prisoners of war, and asked people to register these miners and prisoners of war. Regarding the next step of these miners and prisoners of war, Zhao Tiehu also asked Zhu Zixi to discuss.

'Zixi, are you enough food and clothes? ’

'Enough! During this time, there was a lot of storage in the mountains, and it was enough to squeeze clothes, but as for food, it was still enough. It's just that to feed such a large group of people, it is indispensable to go out to the mountains to fight two battles in the later stage and get some supplies back. ’

'Hmmm! If you can think of this, it means that you are also beginning to understand that you are prepared. Next, let the rescued miners and prisoners of war recuperate in the secret camp for a few days, and it will not be easy for them to survive until now.

Wait a minute, you can find a few people with more prestige from the prisoner of war camp and the miners, and I plan to talk to them. If these people don't want to join our team, when they are well-healed, let them go! ’

'Yes, Captain! What about those who are willing to stay? ’

If you are willing to stay, you also need to register and investigate. Miners who are willing to stay will be assigned to your recruit company for training at that time. As for those prisoners of war who were willing to stay, they were also organized into separate teams for training.

In order to ensure the safety of the troops, I will also break up these prisoners of war and assign them to three detachments. These are soldiers who have been on the battlefield, and if we can educate them well, we can also improve our combat strength.

The education in the next prisoner of war camps was more based on political education, supplemented by military training. First of all, we should change their concepts, let them accept our operational philosophy, and let them integrate into our troops as soon as possible.

With this experience as a prisoner of war, I believe that these prisoners of war are well aware that there will be nothing to be gained by surrendering. On the contrary, if they surrender to the little devils, they will only get a worse end than death. If you want to survive, you can only work hard! ’

Zhu Zixi had heard some of the prisoners of war in the coal mines. It can be said that the miners and prisoners of war rescued this time also taught the recruits of the detachment a profound lesson.

Seeing the fate of these miners and prisoners of war, these recruits also really understood that even if they surrendered to the little devils, their fate would not be too good. If you want to live with real dignity, you can only fight hard with the little devils.

Zhao Tiehu, who entered Yufeng Ridge for temporary refuge, although he was very worried about the situation on the railway side, Zhao Tiehu believed that Song Dabao and they should not let him down. After all, Song Dabao is also a battle-hardened officer, so he should know how to measure proportions.

As Zhao Tiehu predicted, as the news of the robbery of the military train spread, the Japanese puppet army troops stationed in Zaozhuang were completely fried. Coupled with the destruction of the Zaozhuang Coal Mine, this incident quickly alarmed the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Jining.

As an occupied area under the jurisdiction of Jining, such a big thing happened in Zaozhuang, and Kobayashi Zhao also knew very well that he could not afford such a responsibility. Even if something happens this time, he will inevitably be punished, but this matter must be reported to the division and regiment headquarters.

After receiving the telegram from Zaozhuang, Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro of the 32nd Division was also surprised and said, "What about it? Dirt Eight Road sneaked up on our mine and robbed the military train? Hasn't Tubalu always been active in the Yimeng area? ”

'Yes, General! It's just that this Tuba Road sneak attack on our coal mine in Zaozhuang is probably not a small force of Tuba Road. It seems that Tubalu is not having a good time this winter, so he planned this robbery of the military column.

On this military train, in addition to some weapons and ammunition, more of them were winter materials transported to the south. These dirt roads stay in the mountains, and if they don't have cotton clothes and winter supplies, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to hold on.

If this is the case, then it is really necessary for us to seize this opportunity to annihilate these dirt roads out of the mountains. They are seldom cleared in the mountains, but outside the mountains, it is easy for us to exterminate them. ’

Regarding the destruction of coal mines and the robbery of military trains, although Kimura Hyotaro was a little angry, he was far from angry. It's just that in the face of the destruction of the Eighth Route Army in Zaozhuang, he also knows that this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible.

After all, many of the supplies of the Japanese combat units in the south at the moment had to be transported from the north. Although the Japanese could send supplies to the south by sea, the cost of transportation could be reduced by rail.

The Eighth Route Army's sabotage in Zaozhuang will undoubtedly pose a threat to the Japanese army's rule in Shandong. Earlier, the Japanese army had also launched a sweep, but they were somewhat powerless against the Eighth Route Army forces hidden in the Yimeng Mountains.

The reason is simple, the Yimeng Mountains are very large, but they are also very poor. The Japanese army has always paid little attention to it. If there was a large-scale encirclement and suppression, most of the Eighth Route Army there would flee into the mountains to avoid the Japanese army.

Compared with the Japanese army, they did not pay much attention to the Yimeng Mountains, but they attached great importance to Zaozhuang. Now that the Eighth Route Army is sabotaging Zaozhuang, the Japanese army will naturally not sit idly by, and it is also an inevitable result to send heavy troops to carry out encirclement and suppression.

Kimura Hyotaro, who knew this very well, thought for a while and said, "Dispatch an infantry brigade and go to Zaozhuang to annihilate these dirt roads." Damn, I originally wanted the troops to have a good rest this winter, but now it seems that I am afraid that it will not be possible.

In addition, a telegram was sent to the Japanese troops in Linyi, asking them to send more troops to cut off the passage of the Tuba Road to escape to the Yimeng Mountains. Since they dare to run out of the mountains, they can't be allowed to escape back. ”

In Kimura Hyotaro's view, the strength of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong was not strong. In contrast, the real threat of the Japanese army in Shandong was the units of the Zhongyan Army that insisted on fighting behind enemy lines.

The troops of these Zhongyan Army have also changed from frontal combat to fighting behind enemy lines. Although after the Battle of Xuzhou, the Zhongyan army in Shandong had become very low-key, but the Japanese army had always attached great importance to it.

Now that the Eighth Route Army has advanced into Shandong, it has also begun to pose a threat to the rule of the Japanese army in Shandong, and the Japanese army will naturally not tolerate it. It's just that compared with the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and Hebei, there are not many combat troops in Shandong.

Therefore, in Kimura Hyotaro's view, the dispatch of an elite infantry brigade to reinforce Zaozhuang is enough to deal with the current situation in Zaozhuang. After all, the Japanese puppet army in Zaozhuang added up, and the number was still quite large.

Zhao Tiehu, who didn't know that the little devil was about to send heavy troops to attack, was somewhat surprised when he saw the little devil start to attack everywhere and carry out a search everywhere. In Zhao Tiehu's view, such a search should not play any role.

It didn't take long for the underground intelligence station of the Eighth Route Army in Jining to quickly send a secret telegram to the first column, informing the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Jining to send an infantry brigade to reinforce Zaozhuang.

Zhang Jingshan, the commander of the first column who received this telegram, was also a little worried when he saw this telegram: "Damn, it seems that the little devil was really annoyed this time, and even sent an infantry brigade to reinforce Zaozhuang." ”

Li Yu, as the political commissar, said in a timely manner: "Commander, let's forward the telegram to the task force!" Tell that kid sooner so that the task force can prepare early. Also, ask if there is anything that needs the support of the column. ”

After receiving the combat report from the task force earlier, Zhang Jingshan was somewhat worried. But what he was worried about earlier was that the task force was too big, wanting to hit coal mines and rob military columns.

But what he didn't expect was that the task force had succeeded in both operations. Not to mention the military supplies and weapons that were snatched from the little devils, they also destroyed the coal mines seized by the little devils and rescued a large number of miners and prisoners of war.

Before he was happy, he received such a bad call, which really made Zhang Jingshan very worried about the next situation of the task force!
