Chapter Seventy-Five: Entering the Encirclement Section 3 Houshiyu

The division of troops is right! In the case of not knowing who the hidden traitor is, there are still many black hands lurking around, and a small team that is relatively reliable and absolutely reliable, and taking the devil officer away is better than waiting for people to come to Huo Huoqiang.

At least Yang Bangzi thinks that thirty people are much easier than two hundred people who follow more than a thousand fellow villagers!

Director Cheng and the others left first, turned to the northwest and went to the military camp town, and when they were about to break up, Yang Bangzi deliberately shouted loudly, saying that they should go to the military camp town first, and Lao Tzu would send the two devils to Taipingzhuang and come back.

When the old director and they walked away, the team went down the earth cliff, turned to Niangzishen Village, did not enter the village, and walked out ten miles along the river to the south in one breath.

When he was about to enter the junction of sandy land and hills, and there were still ten miles away from Taipingzhuang, Yang Bangzi took the team to the earthen ditch in the east of the road, and after a short rest, he walked east along the zigzag soil ditch.

The march did not stop in the middle of the march, and went around between the sandy soil and the low hills, until it lasted four hours, passing through the sandy saline land and entering the mountains.

Marching eight roads of this intensity is commonplace, and it is a piece of cake to walk a hundred and ten miles a day and night.

When Qing Shui Dazuo was in the Northeast, he took his search team to climb Shilizi Mountain, and followed the Eighth Road to walk at night in the past few days, and his body was okay, but he stared at it, but the soles of his feet were grinding and hurting, and he was estimated to be blistering.

Don't talk about it, the prince has long had blisters on his feet, the soles of his feet and toes are full of blisters, and some of them are worn out, and his teeth hurt when he moves.

The second half of the road was actually taken by Yang Bangzi and several of them taking turns carrying the prince on their backs. Shimizu Daisa's behavior towards Hachiro was somewhat unexpected. I didn't force them to rush on their own. even took turns to carry the captives on his back, this kind of thing was replaced by his own captives, and if he couldn't walk, it would be good if he didn't give you a knife.

Shimizu, the Great Sa, didn't rely on his illustrious family background and network to get mixed up, he was a very ordinary descendant of a declining samurai family, and he relied on his own struggle and hard work to carry the Osaku epaulettes.

If he was a young man who had just graduated from school before entering Northeast China in 1931, his ten-year battlefield career had turned him from a young man into a machine, a killing machine.

Watching Balu rush with the prince on his back. He remembered that in the winter of 32, the Anti-Japanese Union besieging South Manchuria, at that time, also captured a lot of prisoners, and a large part of them were captured after being injured and unable to resist.

He was only a lieutenant at the time, and out of pity, he ordered the soldiers to carry the captives onto horse-drawn plows and prepare to take them out of the snow-covered mountains.

Unexpectedly, his superior, the commander of the search and suppression team, a lieutenant, scolded him in front of the soldiers. said that he did not look like an imperial soldier, but he still had compassion for the enemy. This is simply a disgrace to the soldiers of the Empire!

He also ordered him to dispose of all the dozens of wounded prisoners on the plow, otherwise he would be removed from his post on the spot!

Of course, Shimizu is a professional soldier and not a philanthropist, he finally carried out the orders of his superiors and personally killed dozens of wounded soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and since then, he has become a taciturn soldier, a ruthless imperial soldier, whether it is a soldier or a civilian, as long as it is an enemy of the Great Japanese Empire, in his eyes, it is a target that must be eliminated.

In the past few days, accompanying His Royal Highness the Prince, sometimes the two of them will talk and chat, Qing Shui found that this prince, who is a prince in his eyes, is not as immature and naïve as he imagined, and the prince's unique views on the war are still very new.

When he was still in military school, his teacher did say that civilians are not targeted in war, but how can civilians be excluded from war? For example, these eight roads around me now, picking up a gun is a soldier, putting down the basket on the back of the gun and lifting the hoe, it is the common people, how to distinguish? Do you have to wait for them to change their guns before you can treat them as enemies?

These questions and the questions about the Sino-Japanese war that have been entangled in his heart for a long time, Qing Shui did not argue with the prince, the prince talked about his views and ideas, Qing Shui is a very good listener, the more battles are fought, the longer the years on the battlefield in China, the purpose and ultimate goal of the war Qing Shui no longer cares.

Only when he thinks of the cherry blossoms in his hometown and the sad wife under the cherry blossoms, can there be a little warmth gushing out, everything else is not important to him, it can be said that it is done mechanically, including the fact that he did not impulsively follow the prince to be the prisoner of the Eighth Road, he just thought that he had this responsibility to accompany the prince, this is an inertial behavior.

Shimizu thought that the prince's affinity for Hachiro might be a reckless act of not being embarrassed by the world, and the idea of establishing a united country in Sino-Japanese friendship mentioned by the prince was something that Shimizu felt was as fleeting as the petals of cherry blossoms falling in the river.

So Balu offered to take them to see the scene of the war between China and Japan, and he didn't object, maybe the cruel war could save this fantasizing prince.

Qing Shui thought so, Yang Stick also meant the same thing, for different purposes, he also wanted this little devil's prince to take a good look at how the little devil's army treated the Chinese! And how did the Chinese face such cruelty!

Of course, Yang Bangzi is not a 205-type commander, if that's the case, Director Cheng can't let him go with the captive, the old director knows this stupid-looking black and coarse goods best, a belly of flowery intestines, the white dog and the mountains in the party haven't dipped him for more than ten years, and the little devil can still fight him?

Eighty miles away, the prince, Shimizu Daisa, and Yang Bangzi were like three castles, guarding each other and testing each other.

Before dawn, they crossed two more ridges of the mountain and reached the southwest of the mountain pass, which was about to enter the mountains from the plains.

Here they Yujian a small group of local guerrillas, a small group of militia in Houshiyu Village, Baiyun Township.

The militiamen were overjoyed to see the people wearing the regular Eighth Route uniforms, this area has been in a state of tug-of-war between the enemy and us for many months, and for more than a month, our main forces have been scattered and jumped to the area east of the Pinghan Line to attack the rear of the devils, and the remaining small forces and local guerrillas are going back and forth grinding and grinding in circles with the devils.

If you can see the regular Eighth Route Army with the radio on your back, to put it mildly, you have met your relatives!

Yang Bangzi asked about the situation here, and the captain of the militia said two particularly useful situations, one is that there was a battle in the mountains in the north a few days ago, and the team of our Eighth Route died not old or young, and after the devil retreated, they went to help carry and bury the sacrificed soldiers.

The second one is that Houshiyu Village under the mountain is now occupied by devils, and a few days ago a lot of eight roads were pulled from the mountains by car, and I don't know if they were prisoners or what, anyway, they were not tied up or tied, they were all locked up in the village.

Yang Bangzi's eyes lit up when he heard this! That's what Lao Tzu is here for! At that moment, he carefully asked about the situation in Houshiyu Village.

The villagers have long been hiding in the mountains, and everything in Houshiyu Village has been left behind by the devils, who regard this village as a transit station leading from Baiyun Township to the mountain pass.

There is a squad of devils in the village plus a company of puppet soldiers, the devils are all in the improvised turret built in the east of the village, the puppet army is stationed in the village, and the eight roads that were transported by car are locked in the yard under the turret.

Yang Bangzi asked the militia captain, are there militias and guerrillas from other villages in the vicinity? Yes! The district squad and the militia squad from the other two villages are not far away! The militia captain of Houshiyu Village is also an old expert, and when he heard the captain of the Eighth Road ask about manpower, he guessed that there was going to be a battle!

Someone sent out to call all the armed forces that could be gathered nearby and told them that Commander Yang Bangzi Yang of the former Sixth Division and now the Eleventh Army Division was here!

See! Yang Bangzi is now blowing a trumpet through the crack in the door - famous! Within a radius of 100 miles from Chuankou Town, the people of the Sixth Division and several surrounding districts all know that there is an Eighth Road named Yang Bangzi, and the devil is called a god!
