Guo Qing, deputy commander of the Second Division of the Imperial Cooperative Army, contacted Li Tai, who controlled a large part of the bandits in Linzhang County, and they wanted to take action against the troops of the Eighth Route Army who had entered Linzhang County in advance.

Guo Qing is Guo Dehui's nephew, but Guo Qing has a great desire for power, since he was appointed by the Japanese as the deputy commander of the second division of the Imperial Army, Guo Qing wants to show at any time, this time with the Eighth Route Army, Guo Qing knows that his opportunity has come.

In accordance with Sun Weiguo's order, the sub-division units of the Sixth Army sent some reconnaissance units, instructors of various battalions, and working groups organized by instructors of various companies into Linzhang County to carry out reconnaissance and propaganda tasks, while the main forces were on standby.

Guo Qing also received this information from bandits in various villages and towns in Linzhang County, and he knew that only a small unit of the Eighth Route Army had entered Linzhang County.

This time, Guo Qing planned to transfer part of the second division of the puppet army to cooperate with the bandits to annihilate these small units that had entered the Eighth Route Army.

It's just that Guo Qing didn't expect that he wanted to complete this operation covertly and get the first credit, but Cheng Wenxuan quickly knew about it.

In the division headquarters of the First Division of the Imperial Army, Cheng Wenxuan heard the report of his subordinates, and a grim smile appeared on his face.

Guo Qing wants to attack the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which is exactly what Cheng Wenxuan wants to see the most, he wants Guo Qing's troops to take the lead in fighting the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

"Deputy division commander, we are now a joint operation, but what Guo Qing wants is to make a contribution, and they didn't even say hello when they acted alone. I think this time I joined forces with them to deal with the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and they were only doing superficial work. An officer of the first division of the puppet army looked at Cheng Wenxuan, and he said with an unconvinced face.

In the opinion of this puppet army officer, it is only a small force of the Eighth Route Army that has entered Linzhang County now, and Guo Qing took action against the Eighth Route Army troops, and they did not even greet them, which made the puppet army officer feel very uncomfortable, and he felt that Guo Qing was going to take the lead.

"The Eighth Route Army is not easy to provoke, although only a small force has entered here now, but as long as Guo Qing takes action against them, the main force of the Eighth Route Army will definitely be dispatched, and when they suffer losses, we must pretend not to know about this matter and let them do it. You contact Cheng Daohe and ask him to pay close attention to this matter, and when the Eighth Route Army is about to eat all of Guo Qing's troops, we will be dispatched. Cheng Wenxuan had already made a calculation in his heart, he looked at the puppet army officer next to him and said.

Guo Qing wanted to deal with the small force of the Eighth Route Army and went to the Japanese to ask for credit, but Cheng Wenxuan expected that the main force of the Eighth Route Army would definitely be dispatched.

Cheng Wenxuan wanted to use the Eighth Route Army troops to eliminate Guo Qing's troops, and then he went out to deal with the Eighth Route Army troops.

In Houzhang Village, Linzhang County, the people in the village have begun to be called together one after another, Wen Zihan, the commander of the first company of the first battalion and the instructor, is leading a platoon of soldiers here to carry out propaganda work, and Han Mu is standing on a temporary platform, he is promoting the policies of the Eighth Route Army to the people.

"Folks, our Eighth Route Army is an anti-Japanese army, and we came to Linzhang County this time to deal with the puppet army and bandit troops here. According to the requirements of the superior chief, we will clean up all the bandits and puppet army here, we will ensure that every family will have their own land, and at the same time the puppet army and bandits will rob the property, we will distribute it to everyone in the later stage, please believe that we are the real anti-Japanese troops, we are the people's soldiers! ”

Wen Zihan shouted loudly, his eyes looked at the people, and Wen Zihan had a determined expression on his face.

Since the company commander Yan Jiaming died in Nanzhuang Village, Wen Zihan began to take over the post of company commander, and he was a rare college student in the entire Sixth Army subdivision.

After the units of the Sixth Army Division began to deploy a large number of political workers, the First Company was the only unit in which the company commander also served as an instructor.

The Sixth Cavalry Regiment was awarded the title of Patriotic Regiment by the chairman of the committee after the end of the operation, and Sun Weiguo, in view of the performance of the First Company in Nanzhuang Village, he awarded the title of Patriotic Company to the First Company in the name of the Sixth Army Divisional Headquarters.

Wen Zihan is publicizing the people, and the people listen to Wen Zihan's propaganda, but they don't pay much attention to it.

In the eyes of these people, these troops are the same as other troops, and they always deceive themselves by saying good things.

Especially thinking of the resistance of the puppet army and bandits to the Eighth Route Army, these people did not dare to have too much contact with these Eighth Route Army.

"Company commander, there is news from the first class, some puppet troops and bandits are marching here, the number of puppet soldiers is about a company, there are more than 300 bandits, they are rapidly advancing towards Houzhang Village, we must transfer immediately, otherwise we are likely to be besieged by them."

The platoon commander walked quickly in front of the company commander Wen Zihan, looked at the company commander Wen Zihan in front of him, and the platoon commander reported softly.

After hearing the report of the platoon leader, Wen Zihan showed a firm expression on his face, he looked at the platoon leader and said: "Now we have just entered Linzhang County to publicize, the puppet army and bandits are coming, but we are evacuated immediately, how should the people look at us." Ordered the troops to be ready for battle, and not to allow any puppet soldiers and bandits to enter the village. ”

The expression on Wen Zihan's face was very firm, he was ready to plan, he wanted to stick to the village and fight against the puppet army and bandits, so as to prove his troops.

"Did you hear that? The puppet army and bandits are coming, I think they will definitely evacuate immediately, let's hide quickly, if these puppet soldiers know that there is the Eighth Route Army in the village, we are willing to be found by them again to plunder property. ”

"These troops are very good, but in fact they don't dare to do anything, you see, as long as the puppet army and bandits arrive, they will definitely evacuate immediately, we don't believe them, these Eighth Route Army I think are the same as those troops before, they are greedy for life and afraid of death."

"Hmph, they just have to say some nice things first, and when we believe them, they should ask us for money and food, we must not trust them. The heart of being a soldier is ruthless in these years, and we can't be easily fooled. ”

The people were talking, and their eyes were full of suspicion and looked towards Wen Zihan.

"Folks, the puppet army and bandits are here, all of you should hide immediately." After Wen Zihan gave the order to the platoon leader, he shouted loudly to the people.

Hearing Wen Zihan's words, the people immediately began to accuse, they felt that Wen Zihan must have wanted to evacuate.
