Chapter 138: The arrogant puppet army
Binh Dinh County, inside the Japanese garrison headquarters.
Shuichi Takano stood in front of the map, holding a red and blue pencil in his hand, with a solemn expression on his face.
There are already a lot of lines on the map, the red line represents the Japanese puppet army in Pingding County, and the blue line represents the independent regiment troops.
Through the reconnaissance of Wang Mazi's traitors, Takano Shuichi combined with the information issued by the intelligence department of the First Army Headquarters, he already knew that the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army in Pingding County already had a regimental number, and he also knew that Sun Weiguo was in an important position inside.
With Takano Shuichi's character, he wanted to immediately attack the Independent Regiment, but this incident had already alarmed the North China Front, and even though Takano Shuichi had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, he could only endure it.
"Takano-kun, do you have anything to do with me?"
At this time, Zhu Shiqiang, the commander of the puppet legion, came to the command headquarters, and he came to the front of Takano Shuichi with a respectful expression on his face.
If you look closely, you can see that Zhu Shiqiang's leadership already has a golden three-dimensional star, which is the rank of major general.
In order to attract more Chinese troops to surrender, the Japanese army gave the surrendered puppet army officers a higher rank and a higher rank, and satisfied them with the luxurious enjoyment of life.
At present, Zhu Shiqiang is already a major general and division commander, and his troops have also expanded to more than 2,000 people.
It is very simple for the puppet army to recruit soldiers, as long as it is a person who can pick up a gun.
Zhu Shiqiang's puppet army recruited a lot of ruffians and hooligans, these people can be said to be mothers with milk, so they don't care about the reputation of traitors.
"Zhu Sang, I am very pleased that your troops have performed very well. Come and see, I plan to send a squad of appeasement troops from Chengguan Town to Nanzhuang Village, I want to test the troops of the Eighth Route Army, what do you think? ”
Even if the North China Front had an order for Takano Shuichi to wait for the expansion of the Chinese garrison corps before acting, Takano Shuichi couldn't stay idle, he wanted to test the strength of Sun Weiguo's troops, and he still wanted to lead the Japanese puppet army troops to attack Sun Weiguo's troops directly.
With the expansion of the puppet army to more than 2,000 people, the Japanese puppet army under the control of Takano Shuichi now has more than 4,000 people.
He felt that the Japanese puppet army of more than 4,000 people was completely capable of defeating Sun Weiguo, but there was no order from above, so he did not dare to act rashly.
Let the puppet army test Sun Weiguo's troops in a squad, this is just that Takano Shuichi wants to see how strong Sun Weiguo's troops are, and at the same time, he also wants to use this to start a confrontation with Sun Weiguo.
"Takano Taijun, at this time, go and provoke the troops of the Eighth Route Army, we ......"
Hearing that Hideichi Takano asked his troops to provoke Sun Weiguo, Zhu Shiqiang greeted the whole family of Hideichi Takano in his heart.
It's just that before he finished his words, he was directly stopped by Shuichi Takano's eyes.
Feeling that Takano Shuichi's eyes were full of displeasure, and his right hand was also on the handle of the knife, Zhu Shiqiang closed his mouth very interestingly.
"You've been working on this in the next few days." Hideichi Takano said coldly.
"Hi, Takano-kun." Zhu Shiqiang didn't dare to disobey, he hurriedly saluted and said.
Even though the North China Front had begun to prepare for a fatal blow to Sun Weiguo's troops, Takano Shuichi couldn't wait.
Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching soon, and Takano Shuichi wants to completely solve Sun Weiguo's troops before Chinese New Year's Eve.
But he didn't know that he just wanted to use the puppet army troops to provoke a war, while the independent regiment troops were ready to attack.
The New Year is approaching, and people should be the happiest time, but for the suffering Chinese people, even on Chinese New Year's Eve, they will not laugh.
A large area of the country fell into the hands of the Japanese invaders, and many people became slaves of the country.
The Japanese roam the land of China at will, and they want to do whatever they want.
Murder, robbery, rape, arson...... It can be said that anything that is crazy has been done by the Japanese.
Probably any pain in the world can be bearable, but the pain of losing a country is unbearable, and the life of a slave who is a slave is even more uncomfortable.
The sun rises in the east, the fiery sun rises, and dawn represents the beginning of hope.
For the people of Chengguan Town, Pingding County, they have no hope, and the puppet army has a regimental headquarters and a battalion stationed in Chengguan Town, and these puppet troops are sometimes even more ruthless than the Japanese.
They are also doing what the Japanese do, and sometimes the puppet army is even more vicious than the Japanese.
There are more than 500 puppet troops stationed in Chengguan Town, and their number is the 27th Regiment of the Ninth Division of the Appeasement Army, and the regiment commander is Wu Liangxing.
Wu Liangxing was born as a bandit, he was absorbed by the Japanese, and was directly incorporated into the unit of the Ninth Division of Zhu Shiqiang's Appeasement Army, and the Japanese gave him the position of colonel and regiment commander.
Wu Liangxing was very satisfied with this position of colonel and regimental commander, and even if the Japanese asked him to garrison Chengguan Town, he had no objections.
You must know that when other puppet army troops heard that they were going to garrison Chengguan Town, they all shook their heads and refused, because they knew that Chengguan Town was very close to Sun Weiguo's troops, and they were all afraid that they would be completely annihilated by Sun Weiguo.
But Wu Liangxing is different, he even shouted in Chengguan Town, if Sun Weiguo came to fight Chengguan Town, he asked Sun Weiguo to fight for three days first, and also claimed that his company of troops would sweep Sun Weiguo's battalion of troops.
Wu Liangxing wanted to perform well in front of the Japanese master, and his performance was also recognized.
Takano Shuichi knew that Chengguan Town was important, and Wu Liangxing performed well, he specially sent a Japanese infantry squad to Chengguan Town to guide Wu Liangxing's troops in combat, and at the same time he also assigned Wu Liangxing's 27th Regiment a machine gun company and a mountain artillery company.
With these heavy weapons, Wu Liangxing became even more arrogant, and he was tyrannical to the people of Chengguan Town, and did all kinds of evil.
The people of Chengguan Town called him conscienceless, and the people hated Wu Liangxing even more, and they always looked forward to someone coming to Chengguan Town to kill Wu Liangxing.
Chengguan Town is just a small town in Pingding County, there is no city wall here, Sun Weiguo once led the district team to attack Chengguan Town, but now the Japanese infantry squad instructed the puppet army to dig trenches outside the town, and used reinforced concrete to build machine gun fire points.
A BATTALION AND A MACHINE GUN COMPANY OF THE PUPPET ARMY WERE DEPLOYED OUTSIDE, AND THE JAPANESE GAVE THE PUPPET ARMY UNITS THE MAXQIN HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, CZECH LIGHT MACHINE GUNS, AND MEDIUM RIFLES THEY CAPTURED, AND THE 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS THEY CAPTURED WERE ALSO ASSIGNED TO THE PUPPET ARMY TROOPS.
The puppet army in Chengguan Town can be said to have some capital, and Wu Liangxing, the commander of the puppet army at this time, was wearing his colonel uniform to inspect outside the town, looking at the light and heavy machine gun, Wu Liangxing showed an excited smile on his face.
"Hmph, Sun Weiguo dares to attack Chengguan Town, I must let Sun Weiguo come and have no return."
Wu Liangxing looked in the direction of Nanzhuang Village, and his face was full of contempt.
