"Are you sure it's really Bayoutown?" The scouts sent out by Zhao Zhi came back quickly, and when Zhao Zhi was still thinking about what to arm these militiamen in Niutou Mountain, the scouts who went out had already returned to Xiaolizhuang. Ono's squadron numbered more than 300 people, carried heavy equipment like heavy machine guns, and looted a lot of food and poultry as they retreated.

"I'm sure that when we retreated, there were four brothers chasing after us" The scouts hurriedly changed their shoes, their boots were already soaked in mud, and two of the scouts' boots were even muddy. The rain had already stopped, and Luo Ying led people to dig through the ruins of Xiaoli Zhuang to find a lot of things that could still be used, and the scouts were now changing into clothes and shoes from the ruins.

"Hekou Town" Zhao Zhi drew a circle on Hekou Town with the pen in his hand, "Use walkie-talkies to contact those scouts who continue to investigate, I want to know if there are no civilians in Hekou Town, and the approximate number of Japanese troops in Hekou Town, it is best to know the location of the Japanese army headquarters in Hekou Town" The scouts who went out to reconnoitre were not beyond the talking distance of Xiao Li Zhuang from walkie-talkies, and Zhao Zhi's series of orders were enough for them to be busy.

It wasn't until and they turned back to Xiaolizhuang from Niutou Mountain that the scouts who left Hekou Town came back one after another, and the Japanese army had turned Hekou Town into a barracks, and there was more than a brigade of Japanese troops stationed in Hekou Town, and the scouts also found a Imperial Alliance army force with a number of about 300 on the periphery of Hekou Town. According to the analysis of the scouts, the Japanese troops entrenched in Hekou Town did not trust the Imperial Allied Army very much, so they only arranged for the troops of the Imperial Allied Army to serve as the defense of the outer area, and all the Japanese troops were confined to Hekou Town.

"Are there still Chinese in Hekou Town?" The message sent back by the scouts made Zhao Zhi extremely mad, he originally planned to use the special ammunition he brought to solve the Japanese army in Hekou Town at once, but now there are still hundreds of Chinese living in Hekou Town, Zhao Zhi's special ammunition attack must be stranded, unless he can wipe out all the Chinese in Hekou Town.

"Yes, there are indeed Chinese in Hekou Town, we can see very clearly, there are women, children and old people in Hekou Town, but we have not found any young strong men" The scout's voice clearly reached Zhao Zhi's ears through the walkie-talkie's earpiece, making Zhao Zhi's already bad mood even worse. The Japanese army's actions came too suddenly, the Japanese troops stationed in Hekou Town were originally just a Japanese squad, and the sudden increase in these Japanese troops made Zhao Zhi begin to re-examine the Japanese troops in Shanxi, and it seemed that the Japanese army was changing the corresponding tactics.

"Order the four scouts who came out to stand by, we will rush over later" It was still early, Zhao Zhi planned to rush to the periphery of Hekou Town before dark, since the special bomb attack could not be carried out, Zhao Zhi planned to attack Hekou Town in the form of a surprise attack, but all this must be planned after observing the terrain of Hekou Town at close range. There are thousands of puppet troops in Hekou Town, and Zhao Zhi only has 200 mercenaries around him, this is a battle with a huge disparity in strength, but Zhao Zhi does not want to give up.

Zhao Zhi wants to launch an operation against Hekou Town, not all for the people of Xiaolizhuang and Niutou Mountain, one of the Thunder Armored Corps is rushing to the periphery of Taiyuan, Hekou Town is the only way for them, even for the integrity and secrecy of the Taiyuan operation, Zhao Zhi must also defeat Hekou Town, not to mention that the hands of this group of Japanese soldiers are stained with the blood of civilians, and the Thunder defeats this group of Japanese soldiers, and the public and private can get benefits.

Just when Zhao Zhi listed Kawaguchi Town as a necessary target, Ono Jiro, who had been in bed for a full hour with the captured Shina woman, walked out of the room satisfied. Ono Jiro was so satisfied with this trip to Kolizhuang, not only did he get a lot of food and poultry for him to be praised by the captain, but also the two women who were given to him by his subordinates were also very satisfying, and Ono Jiro was very much looking forward to the next operation.

"Ono Shaosa, Captain Oniyama summoned the officers to go to the conference room immediately, as if to deploy the next operation" Ono Jiro, who had just walked out of the room, received a notice, and Captain Oniyama called a meeting of his officers. With a hint of excitement in his heart, Ono Jiro quickly stepped into the conference room, some officers have arrived, Ono Jiro's appearance made the officers who knew each other greet him one after another, there were three squadrons that carried out guerrilla tactics yesterday, Ono Squadron was the most fruitful one, and Captain Oniyama Captain yesterday's public praise of Ono Jiro was regarded by everyone as an omen that Ono was about to be promoted to military rank.

"Everyone, please sit down" Captain Guishan is a typical soldier, not accustomed to those pomp and form, when he entered the conference room, he directly began to announce the next stage of the action order, "Today is the first day that we carry out the guerrilla tactics of the General Staff Headquarters, I believe you have already understood the results we have achieved, according to the plan of the General Staff Headquarters, our guerrilla warfare will continue for a while, I hope you will work hard."

On the table in front of the Ghost Mountain was a map, on which there were many circles marked with a red pen, and those were all targets formulated by the General Staff Headquarters, half of which had to be completed by the Ghost Mountain Brigade. "We are clearing Xiaolizhuang, Niutoushan and Zhangcun today, among which Xiaolizhuang, which is responsible for the Ono squadron, is the most complete clearance, and there have been incidents of the escape of the Chinese militants in Niutoushan and Zhangcun, I hope that in the next operation, you will not have similar mistakes"

The battle briefing of Oniyama made the faces of the two squadron leaders in charge of Niutoushan and Zhangcun very unpleasant, only Ono Jiro sat upright, because Oniyama's words that were obviously reprimanding just now did not mean to target Ono's squadron. "The next sortie is tomorrow, and the target is Xiaojiaji, 70 miles north of Hekou Town. Xiaojiaji is nominally a town, but it is composed of several natural villages, and our task is to encircle and suppress the anti-Japanese forces that exist in Xiaojiaji, and of course, the young and strong men in Xiaojiaji."

"The Ono squadron is in charge of the eastern flank of Xiaojiaji, and once we start attacking Xiaojiaji, their armed forces will definitely flee eastward, so the task of blocking their retreat is entrusted to the Ono squadron. The two squadrons of Yeshan and Makihara are responsible for controlling the two flanks of Xiao Jiaji, and I will take the reserve squadron to break through from the front, and then take Xiao Jiaji in one fell swoop" The arrangement of the Ghost Mountain is decent, it is a typical siege tactic, the other officers didn't say anything, but Ono Jiro was a little silent, this is really too much of a drain.

"Captain, it's better to hand over Xiao Jiaji to our squadron to deal with it" Ono Jiro's words were full of confidence, "I only take my squadron, the rest of the troops can stay in Kawaguchi Town to rest, captain, please believe me, my squadron will definitely complete this mission well" Ono Jiro's words made Ghost Mountain not surprised, seeing Ono Jiro's first face, Ghost Mountain knew that this Shao Zuo was a very ambitious person, but he didn't consider the thoughts and faces of other officers, and actually said this in public, It's just too arrogant.

"Ono-kun, is it possible that you are the only squadron in our Ghost Mountain Brigade that can fight, and the rest of us are all ornaments and idiots?" Ono Jiro's arrogance really attracted the disgust of the other officers, and the hot temperament directly began to shout, so he just rolled up his sleeves and fought with Ono Jiro in the conference room. Ono Jiro, who was accused by everyone, knew that what he said just now was a public anger, in fact, he didn't mean that, but now everyone is accusing him, making him speechless, so he had to shut up, just look at the captain Oniyama.

"That's enough, I'm sure Ono-kun didn't mean that, a few of you were shut up by me, it's too noisy" Oniyama made a straight face, there was a trace of impatience in his words, and the noisy conference room like a vegetable market regained its tranquility, while Ono Jiro, who was the person concerned, was expressionless and squinted upward, no one knew what he was thinking. "I decided, Xiao Jiaji's operation will be completed by Ono-kun's squadron, and I will give him a chance to prove his ability" After the ghost mountain slapped Xiao Jiaji's action to Ono's squadron, he got up and left the conference room, he didn't want to see Ono being besieged by everyone, although there was also his contribution to it.

In fact, after Oniyama got up and left, Ono Jiro was not attacked and besieged by other officers in the conference room, because the moment Oniyama stepped out of the conference room, Ono Jiro took out the southern pistol on his waist and put it on the table in front of him, and the gun had already been loaded by Ono Jiro. "Whoever of you dares to trouble me, I'll shoot whoever I want, it's a big deal for me to be an ordinary soldier" Ono Jiro took out all the guns, and the excited officers naturally wouldn't stupidly rush up to find him trouble, and this matter that was thought to be trouble by Oniyama dissipated like this, which was really unthinkable to Oniyama.

"Tell the soldiers to rest early tonight, we will leave for Xiaojiaji tomorrow to find the baggage officer to replenish the ammunition and supplies of the squadron, I don't want to be delayed because of these trivial things when I leave tomorrow" Ono Jiro, who was the last to walk out of the conference room, calmly put the pistol back into the holster on his waist, and whispered to Ogasawara, who was waiting outside the conference room, to prepare for departure. Ogasawara is also a very ambitious person, but he is better at hiding himself than Ono Jiro, and has been regarded as a confidant by Ono Jiro.

Until dinner, Ono Jiro was planning tomorrow's action steps with his officers, and in order to make the operation smooth, Ono Jiro and the others even considered the position where each soldier should appear. But he didn't expect that Kawaguchi Town had been targeted, and the troops who dared to step out of Kawaguchi Town would become Zhao Zhi's target, because of his conceit, his squadron embarked on the road of no return, which Ono Jiro never expected.
