Chapter 31: The Spark

Xu Mang hadn't seen Zhao Zhi, so naturally he didn't know if Zhao Zhi had three heads and six arms, but Luo Ying, who arrived in Madian with the large convoy, added fuel and vinegar to describe Xu Yunzhao, and almost said that Xu Yunzhao was the next three indiscriminate things that doves occupied the magpie's nest. To say that Yan Wudao has been following Zhao Zhi for a long time, since Zhao Zhi left the county with most of the mercenaries, he has been in the carts full of Zhang Luo, whether it is mules and horses or ploughing cattle and donkeys, they have all been recruited by Yan Wudao with bayonets and white stripes. Before Zhao Zhi sent the mercenaries back to the city, he had already sent a telegram to Yan Wudao about the victory, so before the mercenaries sent back by Zhao Zhi arrived at the county seat, Yan Wudao had already sent a large convoy here, and when Zhao Zhi's side finished cleaning the battlefield, Luo Ying and the others had already walked halfway.

More than 100 carts were loaded with grain, and the only few trucks in the railway station were also stuffed with grain by Zhao Zhi and returned to the county seat in the early stage. "Luo Ying, you still take someone to escort the cart back to the county seat, remember, the things must be unloaded into our barracks, no one can move these things if I don't go back, tell Yan Wudao, directly put the machine gun on the wall, whoever is close to the barracks will hit whoever is, if you can't stand it, withdraw from the tunnel, set fire to the things"

Zhao Zhi's arrangement is not to turn against the national army, he is just taking precautions, he doesn't want to fight with the national army in Zhangwu County because of these grains, and the things are to be given to them, but there must also be an explanation, and they can't fall into their hands without explanation. Zhao Zhi originally wanted to send a tank back first, but his mercenaries had only just learned to drive the tank, and the cooperation between the gunner and the pilot was not very familiar.

"Sir, I just received information from the Eighth Route Army, a large number of military trains have stopped at the Taiyuan Railway Station, according to the comrades of the Taiyuan underground party, these military trains are pulling Japanese soldiers, weapons, ammunition and food, the Eighth Route Army asked us if we have any relevant information, they asked if the Japanese army in Taiyuan would be sent to the direction of Madian" The telegraph operator sent by the Eighth Route Army ran over with the newly received telegram. After Zhao Zhi's train station, he turned on the radio, and the messages sent by the Nationalist Army and the Eighth Route Army came like a tide, but most of them were messages asking about the situation, and it was the first time that a message to report the situation like this had happened.

"Bring the map" The map Zhao Zhi said at this time was not issued to him by the national army, nor was it the map of the Japanese army that he grabbed in Ping'an Town last time, and the latest military map of the Japanese army recruited from the railway station just now shows the location of all the railways, highways and bridges in Shanxi. Zhao Zhi's fingers followed the railway line out of Taiyuan one by one to find the relevant stations and place names, the map is marked in Japanese, except for Zhao Zhi, that is, Ye Kong can understand, Taiyuan is still far away from Madian, Zhao Zhi does not think that those Japanese troops sitting in stuffy tank cars are reinforcements who came to Madian.

Zhao Zhi's fingers moved slowly on the map, and finally landed on the location of Baoding and Zhangjiakou, the route of the Japanese invasion of China was from the northeast, North China was their first target, and the northeastern region of Jin, where Hebei borders Shanxi, was also the most frequent place to resist the Japanese army. Although that area was a Japanese-occupied area, the anti-Japanese action never stopped, and if the Japanese army wanted to attack the Chinese mainland along Hebei, it must first stabilize the rear, so the Japanese troops assembled in Taiyuan must have rushed to Hebei to encircle and suppress the anti-Japanese forces, and it had nothing to do with Madian.

"Immediately call back to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, according to our judgment, the Japanese troops assembled in Taiyuan will not go south for the time being, they should be the reserve army that will go to Hebei for encirclement and suppression, and ask the underground party of the Eighth Route Army in Taiyuan and North China to determine the deployment of Japanese oil" Hebei is a flat terrain, which is more suitable for the deployment of mechanized troops than Shanxi. As long as we can figure out the movement of the Japanese army's fuel, we can deduce whether the Japanese army has assembled mechanical troops in North China, and without the cooperation of mechanized troops, it is simply a fool's dream for the Japanese army to clear out the anti-Japanese forces in North China.

The telegraph operator left, but Zhao Zhi still fell his eyes on the map on the table, according to the situation summarized by Yan Wudao and them, after the elites of the national army completed their respective combat goals, they should have entered North China at present, maybe the Japanese army's encirclement and suppression operation in North China this time was for those restless boys. Maybe what they did, they hit the death hole of the Japanese army, and made a fuss about the Japanese army in North China, it seems that the Spark plan they made at the beginning is still good, and these little shrimps can be regarded as the climate.

Zhao Zhichai was right, the Japanese army in North China mobilized troops from Shanxi precisely to encircle and suppress the guerrilla columns of the national army that had recently appeared in the border areas between Hebei and Shanxi, and the number of the so-called guerrilla columns of the national army was not very large, but the anti-Japanese armed forces that tossed around Hebei under the banner of columns were not old and young, with a large army of more than 100 people and a squad of more than a dozen people, and there were dozens of anti-Japanese armed forces in total. Moreover, these guerrilla columns under the same banner were not in a hurry to capture counties, cities, and towns as the Nationalist troops had done in the past, but they relied on the mountain villages and towns, and they not only acted separately and alone, but sometimes several units gathered together to engage the Japanese army.

For the sake of these guys who suddenly appeared, the Japanese troops in North China really thought through their heads, set traps, sent traitors, ambushed eyeliner in their jurisdiction, posted lists and offered rewards for arrest, and bribed and co-opted. Different from the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, although these guerrillas under the banner of the Nationalist Army did not engage in any matter of dividing the land and fighting the landlords, the Nationalist Army was orthodox after all, and the people in the occupied areas recognized them.

With the support and support of the common people, the elite of the national army who infiltrated North China was quite a bit of a wind and water, and the ambush of the end of the artillery tower at both ends of the three days made a mess of the artillery tower that the Japanese army in North China had worked hard to build and the cage policy of blocking the ditch and highway in a mess. The well-armed and athletic elites often leave with a single blow, and the Japanese puppet army that pursues them like hounds often can't even find their shadows, let alone find their lair. Therefore, the Japanese army in North China decided to quietly transfer troops from Shanxi to carry out the encirclement and suppression of the guerrilla columns of the Nationalist Army without alarming them, striving to annihilate these difficult guys within two months.
