Chapter Eighty-Four: The Enemy Comes Away!

Compared with the earlier guerrillas who called on the people to help transport supplies, many people felt a little afraid. In the impression of the common people, fighting a war will kill people. Even if you go to the front line as a civilian husband, you are likely to be killed.

But with the increase in the number of victories won by the Eighth Route Army, some of the people who were mobilized to help, in addition to the material rewards issued by the troops, when they went home, most of them made a lot of extra money, similar to the pots and pans and other sundries used by the little devils.

In short, in the hearts of these people who are responsible for carrying supplies, what the troops don't want is theirs. As long as they can move back to the base area and do not affect the transfer of materials, most of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army will not say anything.

With these additional benefits, now as long as the guerrillas help the troops clean up the battlefield, the people are eager to mobilize their families. Such a change also proves that Zhao Tiehu's previous emphasis on interest dividends is also very wise.

Only if the common people really feel the benefits, and there is no need for the Eighth Route Army to mobilize, they will behave more actively than anyone else. And most of the people know that the battle of the troops is not over, and they will not be easily allowed to appear.

Under normal circumstances, only when the battle is over and the Eighth Route Army has finished cleaning the battlefield will they be allowed to enter the battlefield to carry supplies. So what is left over from the battlefield, it is natural that whoever picks it up first.

However, there is one thing that the guerrillas will emphasize every time they come out, that is, they must obey the command of the troops, and they must not rush to rob them. And most importantly, not to disturb* the rest of the people in the city.

Many people in Yixian County, who were awakened by the sound of gunfire, were also very surprised when they saw a large number of masked people suddenly appearing on the street. These people pushed all kinds of vehicles and began to transport supplies for the Eighth Route Army.

In this process, some bold city people couldn't help but go out of their homes. But for these people, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on duty will also step forward in time and say: "Fellow, the battlefield is being cleaned up in front, don't get too close, for fear of danger!" ”

For these people who are only onlookers, most of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army will persuade each other with good words, and they will not drive people away. But the ruffians who dare to take advantage of the fire at this time to rob and bump into the hands of the patrol members are also very likely to be unlucky.

In short, looking at the people who began to enter the battlefield to carry the corpses, they didn't seem to be afraid of the tired corpses at all. On the contrary, many people were very happy and said: "Ergouzi, what did you touch?" ”

'I haven't touched anything, this little devil's pockets are cleaner than his face!' ’

'Haha, what do you see I've touched?' A pack of cigarettes, haven't seen it! When I return to the village, I will reward you with two open foreign meats! ’

Although the battle is over, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army will also clean the battlefield in advance and touch the pockets of the little devil's corpse. But there are some small things, most of the soldiers will not pick up, and leave them to the people who carry the corpses to touch again.

Compared with these people who moved corpses, although they couldn't rob the daily necessities of those little devils who didn't want the Eighth Route Army. But after they went back, the Eighth Route Army would send them a set of recolored and modified clothes.

In the eyes of many poor and frightened people, the price of such a set of clothes is not cheap. After all, most of the fabrics used by the little devils to make military uniforms, as well as the military uniforms issued to the puppet army, are good materials, and ordinary people really can't afford them.

Now that there is a set of free clothes, how can the common people not be happy!

While the people were carrying supplies such as food and military uniforms, the materials personally escorted by the guerrillas and troops were valuable materials, such as weapons and ammunition. Such materials are generally not allowed to be handed over by the people.

After all, guns and ammunition will still cause a lot of trouble if a large number of people are left behind. Therefore, for cleaning the battlefield, the task force also has a strict set of rules and regulations.

When Zhao Tiehu finished inspecting the battlefield and confirmed that there were no living little devils in the city, he immediately called Zhu Zixi and said, "Old Zhu, immediately organize the troops, transfer the materials as soon as possible, and at the same time transfer all the wounded to the rear hospital."

Next, some main forces will be dispatched to cooperate with the puppet army that has joined us to protect the masses and move into the mountains. The rest of the main force immediately assembled and rushed to Lincheng to join the second detachment. When we get there, we'll rest during the day! ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

This attack on Yixian is only the first step in Zhao Tiehu's plan. Compared with Zaocheng, which has already fought once, the little devils have become more vigilant and deployed more troops, but Lincheng and Yixian are much easier to fight.

Before the little devil could react, Zhao Tiehu immediately ordered the main force of Dayi County to be transferred to the front line of Lincheng. Strive to take the opportunity to take Lincheng tomorrow night. In this way, you can also eliminate a lot of little devils.

Eliminate the little devils in these two counties, then the township defenders under the jurisdiction of the two counties will be afraid. If you don't want to throw away the county seat, the little devils stationed in the surrounding towns and villages will inevitably return to the city to garrison.

Then the towns and villages where they were stationed before became the target of the Eighth Route Army. Even if the main force is not dispatched, with the combat effectiveness of the local troops, it should not be too difficult to take those towns and villages.

As a result, under the watchful eyes of many people in Yixian County, people entered and left the city one after another, and troops also entered and left the city one after another. The entire Yi County is completely sleepless tonight. And the troops closer to the county town did not dare to come out at will at night.

The Eighth Route Army is good at night battles and good at encircling points to send reinforcements, and many little devil officers know these combat habits of the Eighth Route Army. So much so that he was in a hurry to contact the defenders of the county, but still no one dared to order troops to support at will.

In the eyes of many little devil officers, the county plus the puppet army stationed in the station, a total of thousands of troops. If even the troops in the city could not resist the attacking Eighth Route Army, it would be useless for them to rush to the county seat.

In this way, the reinforcements from the surrounding towns and towns that had been worried all night still resolutely sent troops after dawn to inquire about the situation last night in Yi County. In fact, many of the little devil officers who led the team felt that the results should not be optimistic.

The reason is that they have lost contact with the garrison headquarters in the city. Unless it is a very, very serious situation, how can no one answer the phone at the garrison headquarters of the county seat?

When the little devils who came one after another entered the city, looking at the county town with the city gate open, many little devil officers stayed at the city gate, and ordered: "Send a team to go first to see what the situation is!" ”

As the little devils began to enter the city, there were still not too many people in the city. Even when some people saw them returning, most of them were frightened and quickly hid. This situation frightened the little devils who entered the city.

Until the little devil who was in charge of checking the situation came to the garrison headquarters and barracks that had been completely emptied. Although no corpses were found, the two empty scenes made the hearts of these little devils fall to the bottom of the ice in an instant.

'Yaga! What kind of attack has our troops suffered! Damn, how can there be so many craters here? ’

The leader of the Japanese squad who was in charge of leading the team looked at the various craters scattered throughout the barracks and somewhat knew that this was the result of the artillery explosion. It's just that what makes them very puzzled is that the military camp is far away from the city, and ordinary artillery can't reach it!

And where did the shells fly into the barracks?

It wasn't until a puppet army ran to ask the people that the little devils who returned to the county town gradually learned that the shelling started from the city last night. I don't know what method the Eighth Route Army used to directly set up the artillery under their noses.

With the Yixian troops who rushed back one after another to learn the news, after regaining control of Yixian. The little devil who didn't have a phone or telegram could only send a signal soldier to ride back to Zaozhuang and immediately report the fall of Yixian.

Recently, Eguchi Zotaro, who had been tossed with a great liver fire, heard the news that Yixian County had been captured by the Eighth Route Army, and he was angry again and vomited blood: "Baga! These abominable dirt roads should all be killed! Damn it! ”

Facing the crazy Eguchi Zotaro, the staff officers in the war room also felt that Eguchi Zotaro was very pitiful. Originally, he took over as the previous garrison officer, which made people feel that this was a beautiful difference. But now it seems that this is a complete pit!

At this moment, Eguchi Zuotaro, who fell into the pit, can be said to have forced the Eighth Route Army to be like this. One bad news after another, one after another harshly worded telegrams, made Eguchi Zotaro, who was the garrison officer of Zaozhuang, really aggrieved.

If he knew that he almost drove the Zaozhuang garrison crazy, it is estimated that Zhao Tiehu would also feel very proud. The joy of the enemy is Zhao Tiehu's greatest happiness. What's more, Sataro Eguchi's nightmare has only just begun!

Zhao Tiehu, who successfully took Yi County, did not stay in Yi County for long, and pulled the troops to the outskirts of Lincheng overnight before the little devil could react. After arriving in Lincheng, Zhao Tiehu did not rest for the first time.

As in Yi County earlier, Zhao Tiehu also began to inquire about the preparation of the troops. He believed that the news that Yixian County had been captured by the Eighth Route Army would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the defenders of Lincheng.

But they would never have imagined that the main force of the task force, which had just arrived at Lincheng after a night of fierce fighting, had now set its sights on Lincheng. As soon as the time comes, Lincheng will also face the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

It's just that before the arrival of the Eighth Route Army, a telegram from Zaozhuang asked Lincheng to dispatch a Japanese squadron to Yixian. After all, Yixian County has lost so many troops, so it can only be replenished by transferring troops from the surrounding areas!

Compared with the troops from Zaozhuang to Yixian, it is estimated that it will not be able to catch up in one day, and the Lincheng defenders, who are not too far from Yixian, will not spend much time if they go by car.

Hearing the news, Zhao Tiehu immediately felt overjoyed. The little devil in Lincheng dared to send troops out at this time. That also means that the current defenders of Lincheng have lost more than a squadron of defenders.

When tonight's battle starts, and the little devil gets Lincheng again, and the city is also captured, how will the little devil react? After all, these two county towns are important military towns that cannot be given up for the Zaozhuang garrison!
