After learning that the fifth detachment and the troops of the 344th Brigade were going to rush to Shouyang to receive supplies, Xiao Siming calculated the distance, estimating that they would not arrive until tomorrow night, so he asked Chen Qiang to send a report to the three combat companies, asking them to pay attention to concealment and try not to let the Japanese army find out, and called Yuan Gang in Baijiazhuang, asking them to disguise the Japanese army, control the highway passage, and be sure to deceive the Japanese army for two more days.

On the phone, Xiao Siming told Yuan Gang to seize the opportunity to let the soldiers of the guard platoon, the engineer team and the recruit team carry out one-on-one training, and the idea of improving the technical combat level of the soldiers of the engineer team and the recruit team.

After dealing with these things, Xiao Siming took a messenger and went out of the devil's brigade headquarters to check the devil's arsenal and grain depot they found in Shi Poshan.

At this time, the streets of the ancient city of Shouyang were very lively.

Attacking and occupying Shouyang, you can hide the little devils, but you can't hide the people of Shouyang City. What's more, the Eighth Route Army also organized forces to publicize and mobilize the masses? No, the business shops on the street have opened, and the villagers from ten miles and eight towns are pouring into the county, just like the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month before the devil comes, it is very lively.

The artillery team, the heavy machine gun team, the recruit team, the engineer team, and the communications platoon all opened recruitment points on the streets. I don't know if it was written by the cadres of the various units themselves, or by the gentlemen in Shouyang City, the calligraphy level of the recruitment slogans is not bad, and the slogans are all "Down with Japanese imperialism", "Drive out the devils", "The War of Resistance will be won", "Join the Eighth Route Army, eliminate the Japanese devils", "If you join the army alone, the whole family will be glorious", "If you don't resist Japan, you would rather die", and so on.

Xiao Siming took a look, there were many people queuing up to sign up, and there were more people waiting and watching, so he stopped looking and turned around and left. He knew that with the experience of recruiting troops in Yuxian County, the cadres would complete the recruitment task well!

After inspecting the Japanese army's grain depot, clothing warehouse, and ammunition depot, Xiao Siming couldn't help but smile dumbly.

Before the soul crossing, Xiao Siming knew that those experts who specialized in the history of the Anti-Japanese War believed that the Japanese army did not take advantage of the situation to move south after capturing Taiyuan, which was strategic short-sightedness and failure, and provided a rare buffer time for the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army to sort out the defeated troops.

came to the battlefield of resistance against Japan and personally participated in the anti-Japanese war, Xiao Siming realized that what those experts said was right, but definitely not completely right! said that what they said was right, that was because the Japanese army did not take advantage of the situation to move south, and rested and replenished for a period of time, which objectively gave the troops of the Second Theater a chance to breathe. It is said that what they said is not entirely true, because these people are all scholars of later generations, and it is impossible to personally experience the hardships of the Anti-Japanese War. Our army is certainly difficult, and the life of the little devils is not easy. The Zhengtai Railway and the Tongpu Railway are not connected, and the road transportation is often ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, and the little devil's ammunition consumption and baggage supplies cannot be transported, how can he continue to attack?

The little devil also did it, and took advantage of the short two-month replenishment and recuperation, not only to fill the troops and restore their combat effectiveness, but also to reserve a large number of weapons, ammunition, food and socks supplies, and only then did they launch a large-scale pacification operation in North China with great momentum.

Shouyang City is only the supply base of the 36th Brigade of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army, so there is so much ammunition and food stored, and other such as the 20th Division, the 108th Division, and the 14th Division, must have a lot of ammunition, food and socks in storage. In particular, the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, in the later stage of the Battle of Xuzhou, was vigorously strengthened by the First Army, with more tanks, armored vehicles, automobiles, and heavy artillery, presumably there will be no shortage of fuel and shells!

As far as the 109th Division is concerned, the supply base of the 36th Brigade is in Shouyang, and the supply base of the 108th Brigade was originally in Yangquan, and now the 108th Division has taken over the Yangquan Defense of the 108th Brigade of the 109th Division. In addition, the headquarters of the 109th Division was originally located in Shijiazhuang, and the headquarters of the 109th Division must have been transferred to the vicinity of Taiyuan, and the 109th Wing of the Mountain Artillery, the 109th Wing of the Engineers, the 109th Wing of the Heavy Soldiers, and the 109th Brigade of the Cavalry directly under the division, ammunition and supplies of food and socks must have also been transferred to the vicinity of Taiyuan, depending on whether it is in Qi County or Taiyuan County.

After returning from the arsenal, grain depot, and clothing warehouse, Xiao Siming thought about not knowing when he would be able to come to Shouyang County again in the future, so he wanted to take advantage of the fact that it was still early to see the famous Chaoyang Pavilion in Shouyang City.

From the Japanese arsenal on the hill north of Shouyang City to Chaoyang Pavilion in the southeast of the city, you have to pass through the city.

As I was walking down the street, I heard a surprised female voice in my ear: "Hey......"

Xiao Siming was a little familiar when he heard this voice, and when he turned his head, he saw a restaurant selling knives and noodles on the side of the road, and a young man with a black face was waving to him standing at the door.

Xiao Siming was stunned when he boarded, this young man was very raw, I haven't seen it!

At that moment, Xiao Siming intuitively thought that this strange young man was running a restaurant and called him to pull business and let him go in for dinner!

When the young man saw where Xiao Siming was stunned, he shouted "hey" again, and ran towards Xiao Siming!

This voice is obviously a girl's voice!

The correspondent who followed behind Xiao Siming flashed in front of Xiao Siming, and the rifle in his hand was horizontal, blocking the young man who ran over, and scolded loudly: "Stop, what are you doing?" ”

ran to the front, Xiao Siming saw it clearly, and then realized that the young man in front of him had clear eyes, vaguely like the little girl who followed Yan Rou!

The young man was blocked by the correspondent, he was anxious, tears flowed out, and his face turned white and black, and he said anxiously to Xiao Siming: "Big brother, you don't know me anymore?" I'm Miss's maid Apricot! ”

Sure enough, it's an apricot!

Xiao Siming asked the correspondent to put away the gun, walked up to Xing'er, took a closer look, laughed out loud, and asked, "Xing'er, why did you make yourself look like this?" Looks like a wild boy! ”

At this question, Xing'er actually squatted on the ground and cried, crying and saying, "The Yan family is over, Miss and I have escaped!" ”

Xiao Siming was shocked, it was obviously arranged so carefully in advance, the little devil spy has the ability to do it every day, and it is impossible to find the head of the Yan family, why is the Yan family still finished in the end?

Stretching out his hand to pull up the apricot, Xiao Siming asked where Yanrou was?

Xing'er said that the young lady was in the restaurant. Just now, she had sharp eyes and saw the eldest brother who had saved them, so she ran out and shouted!

Xiao Siming asked Xing'er to call Yanrou out, he didn't want to enter the hotel.

After a while, Yan Rou followed Xing'er out, dressed almost exactly like Xing'er, and her face was also black, but she was much taller than Xing'er.

The street is not a place to talk, Xiao Siming is not in the mood to go to see Chaoyang Pavilion, so he asked, "Have you eaten well", and took Yan Rou and Xing'er back to the little devil's brigade headquarters.

Along the way, Yan Rou lowered her head and didn't say a word, just carried a small suitcase and walked silently behind Xiao Siming. Anyway, when she met Xiao Siming, she was safe, and she didn't worry about anything else.

After returning to the brigade headquarters, Xiao Siming asked the correspondent to lead Yan Rou and Xing'er to wash their faces, and then asked them what was going on!

is safe, Yan Rou's courage is also strong, and she told Xiao Siming that it was all the family that caused the trouble! Originally, after entering Taiyuan City, Xiao Siming told her that she must deal with the three horses, and he also handed it over to the old housekeeper to do it. I didn't expect the old housekeeper to have a lot of things, so I handed it over to a steward. As soon as the steward saw that the proprietor did not want the three horses, he thought that he could get a small amount of money from them, so he led the three horses to the slaughterhouse he was familiar with for the slaughter of cattle and sheep, and the three horses were sold for 5 yuan, and he watched the slaughterhouse kill the three horses and sell them as beef and mutton. I didn't expect the little devil spy to be so powerful, he almost dug three feet into the ground in Taiyuan City, and he didn't even let go of the slaughterhouse, and arrested the boss and his butchers and tortured them. At this time, the fact that the Yan family had sold three horses to the slaughterhouse was exposed.

Yan Rou said that the devil spies moved very quickly, and as soon as they found out that the Yan family had sold three horses to the slaughterhouse, they immediately dispatched troops to surround the Yan family.

Yan Rou's father relied on the fact that he was from the Taiyuan City Maintenance Association, opened the door to negotiate with the little devil, but he didn't expect the little devil to ignore it, and directly tied up her father, threw him in the car, and then rushed into the Yan family's mansion and arrested anyone when he saw it.

Yan Rou lived in the backyard of Yan's house, and when she heard the sound of chaos, she knew that something was wrong, thinking that the little devil must be going for her and Xing'er, she didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly ran out of a very hidden side door in the backyard that was usually not open, and hid in a relative's house.

In the evening, the news came that Yan Rou's father was brutalized by the Japanese army and the Yan family was wiped out by the Japanese army. Moreover, the devil spies found Yan Rou's photos in Yan's house, and posted them all over the street, searching and arresting Yan Rou!

Xiao Siming asked how did you get out of Taiyuan City?

Yan Rou blushed, and said that the Yan family had been in Taiyuan for a long time, and in the past, in order to prevent the scourge of soldiers and bandits, there were still several unknown mansions in the city. Two of the houses are at the small south gate, one inside the city wall and the other outside the city wall, and there is a secret passage through the city wall, which can connect the two houses. That's where she and Xing'er escaped from Taiyuan City!

There is this secret passage, and there are many things that are stereotyped!

Xiao Siming was on his mind when he boarded!

Yan Rou said that it was the middle of the night when she left Taiyuan City, because she was worried that the little devil would chase her outside the city, and she was even more worried that the old housekeeper would not be able to withstand the torture of the devil spies, so she and Xing'er did not dare to stop in the small mansion outside the city, so they found the clothes of the housekeeper who took care of the small mansion to change into, wrapped their heads in a headscarf, got some black smoke and soil at the bottom of the pot, wiped their faces, and began to flee.

Xiao Siming frowned and asked, "How do you know that I am in Shouyang City?" How did you find this place? ”

Yan Rou was grieving in her heart, when she heard Xiao Siming say this, she didn't expect Xiao Siming to be censoring her out of high vigilance, but she thought that Xiao Siming wanted to go somewhere else, thinking that she was coming to Xiao Siming with a maid, and she was angry, her eyebrows were upside down, and she choked directly: "I don't even know what your surname is, how can I know that you are in Shouyang City?" I'm not here to look for you, what's the use of looking for you? Can you save my father's life? We had no way to escape in a panic, and we touched Shouyang City. After entering the city, I learned that the Eighth Route Army had captured Shouyang, so I found a restaurant to eat. I didn't expect Xing'er to be sharp-eyed, and she happened to see you, so she greeted you. Really, who is rare with you! If I hadn't seen you last time, my dad wouldn't have died! ”

That's messing around. If it weren't for Xiao Siming last time I met on the road, not only would my father die, but the Yan family would have been wiped out by the little devils, but Yan Rou and Xing'er would have died a long time ago, and they would have died very miserably! (To be continued.) )
