Taking advantage of the opportunity to repair bunkers, roads, and trenches, Fujido Takaei relied on differential treatment to successfully separate the militia of the Longkou anti-Japanese democratic government from the sequence of the anti-Japanese democratic government in southern Anhui.

"It's still not going well, although the antagonism between the people of Longkou and the imperial army has eased, but if you want to really get their trust and support, it won't happen overnight." Haneda shook his head and said, "But I will hurry up and strive for this counter-sabotage battle, so that the Imperial Allied Army can cooperate with the Imperial Army." ”

"Haneda-san, you're thinking too much." Fujitang Gaoying shook his head and said, "I just asked casually, I didn't mean to rush to let the Longkou Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army participate in the war, besides, the Longkou Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army has just been formed, and it is far from reliable, so I will never let them participate in this battle." ”

Due to the existence of the anti-Japanese democratic government in Longkou County, there are inextricable links between the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui and the Communist Party of China, and it has also drawn some successful experiences from the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army

It is no exaggeration to say that the fortress is the cornerstone of the struggle behind enemy lines

Without the thousands of fortress households risking their lives to provide cover, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army would not have been able to break the situation and survive on the battlefield behind enemy lines.

The lack of strong party leadership was the main reason for the poor performance of the national army on the battlefield behind enemy lines, but the lack of thousands of families to act as fortresses to cover them was also a major reason.

Under the activities of the anti-Japanese democratic government of Longkou County, or under the efforts of Yin Shangwen, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui has also developed hundreds of fortress households in Longkou County, these fortress households are not necessarily the families of the martyrs, but they must be families with a bitter hatred for Little Japan and deep feelings for the revolution.

Even if it's a simple raid battle, it's not something that can be fought.

For example, if you want to destroy a section of road, you first need to know the information about the road, right? Are there any small Japanese strongholds or turrets nearby? How many people are stationed exactly? How far apart are they? Sending intelligence personnel to reconnoiter is time-consuming and laborious, not to mention, and it may not be possible to inquire clearly, but it is different if there is a fortress nearby.

Another one, the daytime raid is easy to expose, so you can only act at night, but starting from Erlong Mountain, when you get to the ground and the sky is bright, then nothing can be done, so you have to sneak near the target in advance, which requires the fortress to provide accommodation and cover.

If someone is wounded in the battle, because the Japanese blockade cannot return to the mountain, then the fortress will be even more needed

How important the fortress household is, it is needless to say, Xu Jiujiu was also forced by the little Japan this time, otherwise, he really didn't want to use this trick, you know, once the fortress household is exposed, it will inevitably be brutally retaliated by the little Japan, which will cost him his life.

Lumuk Keng is a remote mountain village in Hewan Town, where more than a dozen families live.

The Wang family can be regarded as a big family in the village, not to mention dozens of acres of paddy fields, as well as a large house with three entrances and six rooms, and more than a dozen grandchildren, which can be regarded as harmony, but no one knows that the Wang family is the fortress household of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui.

The reason why the Wang family will be developed into a fortress household is actually very simple, because Uncle Wang once went to Shanghai in the early years, where he was humiliated by the Japanese, and Uncle Wang knows better than anyone that if the Chinese want to live a dignified life, they must drive out the invaders and be the masters of their own affairs.

The Wang family is a big family in the deer muntjac pit, but the Liu family is a broken household in the village, Liu Mazi lost his father when he was young, and his mother died at the age of sixteen.

That night, Liu Mazi was woken up from hunger from his sleep, so he wanted to steal a few sweet potatoes from Wang's field at the entrance of the village, but as soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, he suddenly saw a few black shadows floating towards the door of Wang's house like a ghost, Liu Mazi was frightened, and quickly hid in the hole of a hundred-year-old cypress tree next to him.

Uncle Wang was woken up by his wife from his sleep, sat up, and heard a knock on the door

Put on clothes, walked out of the main house with a lantern, only to see several sons, daughters-in-law and even grandsons have heard the movement and got up in clothes, Uncle Wang hurried them to their respective rooms, and then carried the lantern to the front yard, at this time, the sound of knocking on the door has been extremely clear, one heavy and three light, very rhythmic.

Uncle Wang came to the door and asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”

A low response came from outside the door, saying, "Uncle, I'm the fourth." ”

"Little four? I don't know any Xiao Si, but I have a nephew named Xiao Qi. ”

"Uncle, you are confused, Xiao Qi is a black dog raised by our family."

Hearing the other party's secret words, Uncle Wang relieved himself and opened the door a crack.

Two black shadows wearing black cloth silk shirts and wide-brimmed top hats flashed in through the crack in the door, Uncle Wang poked his head out of the crack in the door and looked around, and found that no one quickly closed the door.

Turning around and entering the house, the two people were already waiting for Uncle Wang.

"Hello Uncle Wang, I am Wang Gensheng of the county party committee, and I came to your house with Secretary Yin once at the end of last year."

"I know, Xiao Wang of the county party committee, it was Chinese New Year's Eve at that time, and he refused to leave you for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Uncle Wang smiled, looked at another young man, and asked, "This is ......?"

Wang Gensheng hurriedly introduced and said, "Uncle Wang, this is Platoon Commander Liu of the L Battalion of the 4th Regiment. ”

Platoon Commander Liu stepped forward and saluted Uncle Wang, who hurriedly shook his hand.

Wang Gensheng said again: "Uncle Wang, there are forty comrades who came here this time, and they may have to stay at your house for a few nights. ”

"Convenient, how inconvenient." Uncle Wang hurriedly said, "You still have Platoon Leader Liu, it's easy to arrange, just say that it's my distant nephew and nephew, but those forty comrades, I'm afraid they have to be wronged to live in the cellar temporarily, it's best not to show up in public, otherwise, it's not easy to say in front of others." ”

"That's right, it's all up to the master's arrangement." Wang Gensheng nodded again and again.

Originally, any family with more than 40 relatives suddenly came to arouse suspicion.

After the joint, the platoon leader Liu went to the entrance of the village to bring in the forty soldiers of the platoon, and Uncle Wang also gathered more than a dozen members of the family together for a short meeting, and at the same time introduced Wang Gensheng, a distant nephew, and Liu Platoon Leader, a nephew, Xiaosi, to the whole family, so as not to ask outsiders about revealing their stuffing.

It was already the dead of night, but Xu Shijiu's headquarters was still brightly lit.

Gao Shenxing pointed to the map with a bamboo pole in his hand and said: "Lao Xu, as of last night, all the more than 100 platoons participating in the operation have entered the designated positions, and the troops of Seal and Liang Daring have also entered Hewan Town and Lijia Town respectively.

Xu Shijiu said: "The targets we have chosen for attack this time are not only the artillery towers and highways on the border between the two sides, but also the strongholds in the small Japanese-controlled areas. ”

Gao Shen said: "Lao Xu, don't worry, the retreat route has been chosen, as for the wounded, aren't there still fortress households?" ”

Xu Jiujiu rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice: "Lao Gao, I don't know weishenme, I always have a premonition that I don't have a good feeling, it seems that this time the attack battle, it is difficult for us to achieve the expected results." ”

Gao Shen said: "Lao Xu, aren't you a staunch materialist, how can you believe in this?" ”

Xu Shijiu shook his head and said: "That's not it, I just think that the situation in southern Anhui, especially in Longkou County, seems to be different from the situation in North China that Awen said

"Not really." Gao Shenxing said disapprerovingly, "If the people of southern Anhui don't help us, will they help little Japan deal with us?" Is it really so glorious to be a traitor? ”

"I hope so, I hope I'm thinking too much."
