Until Panshi Village, Xu Shijiu had not yet struggled out of his depressed mood.

The rotten cabbage that I don't know who threw it over not only smashed on his face, but also pressed on his heart, so that he couldn't breathe, Xu Shijiu couldn't help but start to wonder, what is the War of Resistance for? Isn't it just to protect the people and protect their lives and property?

But now, Little Japan has called, but the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui has withdrawn, what is the matter?

It is said that to be a soldier is to fight, and it is the duty of a soldier to protect the people, but now they have left the people behind and run away, they are still soldiers, can they still be considered men?

A soldier who can't even protect the people, what kind of bullshit soldier is he?

The more Xu Shijiu thought about it, the more ashamed he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more ashamed he felt.

Seeing Xu Jiu's expression, Gao Shenxing motioned to the two soldiers carrying the stretcher to carry him to Xu Jiu

"Lao Xu, what do you want?" Gao Shenxing sat up from the stretcher, and Gu Yaqin hurriedly stepped forward to hold him.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about how to fight the next battle." Xu Shijiu turned over and dismounted, and while handing the reins to the black blind man, he said, "Old Gao, your body has not recovered yet, so you have to lie down." ”

"I'm fine, but I can see that Lao Xu has something on your mind."

"What can I do on my mind? It's not about war. ”

Gao Shenxing frowned, asked the black blind man to drive away all the people nearby, even Gu Yaqin let him go, and then stared at Xu Shijiu's eyes and said, "Old Xu, I still don't know you?" Are you worried about going to war? Since I met you, I haven't seen you sad because of the war, and you must have other things on your mind.

Xu Shijiu sighed and fell into a long silence.

Gao Shenxing was anxious and asked, "Lao Xu, is there something wrong with the three war zones?" ”

The Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui is getting stronger and stronger, and the anti-Japanese war situation in Longkou County is getting better and better

"There are no moths in the three war zones." Xu Jiujiu shook his head, finally revealing the confusion in his heart.

After listening to Xu Shijiu's confusion, Gao Shenxing also fell into a long silence, and he couldn't answer this question.

Logically speaking, the common people paid money and food to support the army, and the army should protect them, and now the enemy is coming, the army has run away, but the unarmed people are thrown to the invaders, which is indeed not true, and it is no wonder that someone threw rotten cabbage in Xu Shijiu's face at that time, and this matter should be put on his Gao Shenxing, and he also threw it

But faintly, Gao Shenxing felt that something was wrong, and things didn't seem to be like this.

After thinking about it for a long time, Gao Shenxing didn't straighten out his thinking, and said to Xu Shijiu with a wry smile: "Old Xu, don't worry about this, another day Awen is here, let's ask him, this kid has gone to college and has a high theoretical level, look at what he said, and how did they do the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party in North China?" ”

"What else can the Eighth Route Army do? It's not like us, they run away as soon as Little Japan comes. Xu Shijiu shook his head and said disapprerovingly, "You haven't heard anyone say that what kind of three-light policy Little Japan is doing in North China has been bloodied, and the township party in Longkou County is afraid that it will be more auspicious and less auspicious." ”

Shigeru Ito never expected that the operation to capture the dragon's mouth would go so smoothly.

Shigeru Ito is a veteran of the Marine Corps who participated in the Battle of Songhu, and he was a captain two years ago, but because he offended his superiors after drinking, he was assigned to the 14th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade and became a deputy brigade.

In order to recapture Longkou, Fujido Takaei specially formed an independent mixed L brigade, and also drew bones from various infantry brigades to officers, so Ito Shigeru was able to be reinstated and became the captain again.

After the completion of the assembly of the Longxugou stronghold, the 1st Brigade of the Independent Mixed Group quickly advanced along the main road to the county seat of Longkou, and did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and at noon on the same day, the 1st Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade successfully arrived at the county seat of Longkou, and what puzzled Ito Shigeru was that the gate of the county town of Longkou was wide open, and there was not a single Chinese soldier in the city.

"Noguchi-san, do you think this will be a trick of the Shina army, and will there be an ambush in the city?"

Shigeru Ito turned his head and asked Takayuki Noguchi beside him, who had been officially transferred to the captain of the military police of Longkou Prefecture.

Takayuki Noguchi has been dealing with the guerrillas in Qingyang County for half a year, and he already knows a lot about the tactics of the guerrillas, so he shook his head at the moment and said: "Ito-san, you are too worried, if I am not mistaken, the Chinese army should have run away, this is also their consistent tactic, and they have never fought head-on with the imperial army." ”

Ito Shigeru was stunned for a moment, and then daxiao said: "The people of Shina are all cowards, ha." ”

Noguchi Takayuki didn't think so, the Chinese army didn't fight hard with the Japanese army, not because of cowardice, but because they had more strategic choices, Noguchi Takayuki wanted to remind Ito Shigeru, but when he saw that Ito Shigeru was in a good mood, Noguchi Takayuki swallowed the words that spit into his mouth back into his stomach, thinking that it was better not to ruin his interest first.

Adhering to Okamura Ninji's policy of gentleness, Ito Shigeru did not go on a killing spree in Longkou County, and even sent troops to post notices to persuade the shops in the county to resume business, and Ito Shigeru also specially restrained the military discipline of the Japanese army and strictly prohibited disturbing the people of the county.

For Little Japan, the township party members in Longkou County are actually no strangers, because Longkou County has already been occupied once.

The township party in Longkou County was originally worried that little Japan would retaliate, but now little Japan has no intention of retaliating, and the township party has become bolder, first Zuixianlou resumed business, and then all walks of life have resumed business, and by the next day, the entire county has completely restored order, but the ruler has changed.

For the township party in Longkou County, Ito Shigeru did not intend to retaliate.

But for the township party in Yanjia Town, Ito Shigeru didn't plan to let go.

Because even Okamura Ningji's policy of tenderness is also to be divided into targets, which Chinese are worthy of division and wooing, and which Chinese must be resolutely suppressed, there are clear standards, such as Yanjiazhen, which belongs to the objects to be resolutely suppressed, because almost all the children of Yanjiazhen have participated in the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, and they are military dependents

The day after occupying the county seat, Ito Shigeru personally took two infantry squadrons, plus artillery and cavalry teams, and rushed straight to Yanjia Town.

In Yanjia Town, the alarm bell has already sounded.

The whole town was already in a state of chaos.

Xiu Gu put a litter of chickens, two rabbits and a piglet that had been raised for two months into a basket, and put the second girl into another basket, picked it up and went out, the dog left to lead the big girl to follow closely behind the mother, and the dog left on the back of a cover roll, which was intended to be used overnight in the mountain, they may have to hide in the mountain for several days.

The streets were full of village party members in a hurry, but they were busy but not chaotic.

A few militiamen with earthen guns on their backs are maintaining order, and when they want to help, a few militiamen will come forward to help, and a few young people are shouting along the street with loudspeakers: "Folks, the little devils are coming, we have to speed up, and if you can't take them away, throw them away

Gunshots can be faintly heard in the distance, indicating that Little Japan is not far from here, and they have already caught fire with the militia who are blocking the attack, and the township party who has not had time to withdraw is finally a little anxious.

Gou Yu took his sister by the hand and followed his mother, and asked as he walked: "Mother, why doesn't Dad go with us?" ”

Yan Laosi went back to his home just now, and he only had to explain a few words in a hurry, and then left in a hurry with a gun on his back

"Your father is a soldier, and he has to fight devils." Xiu Gu gasped as she walked and replied, "Only after beating away the little devil can we go home, otherwise we will be homeless." ”
