Chapter 8: The Einsatzgruppen

"Lao Liu, find a way to melt this field cannon and make a bayonet." , Hu Weidong commanded. Gun steel, especially the steel used for the barrel, is good steel, especially this field gun is still made in Germany, even if it is a little older, it is absolutely no problem to make a bayonet, and it is much better than the track steel made by the Eighth Route Army Arsenal in history with a serious lack of hardness, right?

"Okay." , Liu Hai glanced at the field howitzer with some reluctance, but he also knew that at the cost of an unusable cannon, giving each militia company one of these three-edged bayonets would have a lot of surplus, which was definitely very cost-effective, although he was really distressed in his heart

Although Hu Weidong attached great importance to the role of bayonets, bullets were still more important, so getting explosives as soon as possible became a top priority. You can think with your ass that there must be explosives in the county, but with the current strength of the militia company, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to take the county seat. However, Liu Hai, an old military worker, thought of another place where explosives could be obtained, Xingguo County is rich in non-ferrous metal resources, and there should be a lot of explosives in those tungsten mines, gold mines, and lead-zinc mines. It's just that the mine protection team in this era is not vegetarian, and with the current limited strength of the militia company, it is better to deal with the weakest return regiment first, and then develop the team

On the morning of the next day, Dawangzhuang, not far from Liujia Village, suddenly brought down a message tree, and Hu Weidong immediately led a platoon of militia to the rescue, and rushed to Dawangzhuang at the speed of a rapid march before the enemy. The group of enemies was dressed in a strange outfit, all dressed in gray military uniforms, gray cloth leggings, white shirts, black shoes, black socks, and belts around their waists, looking strange and neat, apparently heavily trained. What Hu Weidong paid special attention to was that although there were only 12 enemy troops in this group, their equipment was surprisingly good, each carrying a well-made standard rifle on their backs, a shell gun on their waists, and even a light machine gunner in the team.

Seeing that there was a militia stationed in Dawangzhuang, the leader of this group of enemies seemed to be relieved, but he still rebuked loudly, "Since you have already eliminated the red elements here, why are you still staying here?" ”

"This is because", Hu Weidong, who was dressed as a militia leader, quietly stepped forward as he spoke, suddenly pulled out two shell guns and opened fire, because the distance was too close to dodge, the enemy chief fell to the ground, and it was the most eye-catching machine gunner in the team who enjoyed the other bullet. The company commander's gunfire was an order, and several pistol members behind Hu Weidong immediately pulled out their shell guns and opened fire, while the rest of the hundreds of militiamen also raised their guns and fired, knocking down most of the enemy at once.

However, the enemy's will to fight was quite strong, and in such a disparity in numbers and passive response, the three surviving men immediately skillfully made evasive maneuvers and drew their guns to counterattack, killing and wounding several militiamen on the spot. But their numbers were so small, and the two sides were so close that even if only one dozen bullets from the militia could hit them, it would only take two shots to wipe them all down

But even when he saw that the general trend had gone, the two wounded soldiers who did not die still wanted to raise their guns and commit suicide (or they might be dying), but fortunately, Hu Weidong was fast enough, and the two fast and ruthless knives went down, and they were immediately knocked unconscious, these guys must know a lot of important information, how can they let them die like this? The reason why Hu Weidong was so sure was because at this time he had already judged the identity of this group of enemies, they were the "Biedong Team" of the Blue Coat Society formed by the great executioner Kang Ze and became notorious in history

The killings of the homecoming group are generally because of revenge or greed, and the degree varies from person to person, and some of them are more or less soft-handed, while the biedong team kills people often as the mustache treats the Jews and Poles for exterminating massacres, but the scope of the killing is not based on race, but on class and political orientation, and even as long as they feel suspicious, they can bypass the law and kill the entire village and the entire village without asking for instructions...,

Despite the heinous crimes of the Biedong team, Hu Weidong did not kill the two wounded soldiers on the spot, hoping to pry out the information he was interested in from them. Hu Weidong remembered that this was the period when the status of the BIEDONG team was at its highest, and its captain Kang Ze was even more "saintly and long", and even many local dignitaries and even senior officials of the regular army had to give him three points, Hu Weidong naturally would not let these guys simply die

I have to admit that the quality of the Biedong team of the Blue Coat Society during this period is still quite high, and it is difficult for ordinary torture to make them tell the truth, but Hu Weidong, as a traverser, already knows a lot of secrets of the Biedong team, so he used this to make the two people who were separated and detained think that their comrades-in-arms had defected, so it naturally didn't matter if he said something useless to suffer less, and as a result, Hu Weidong was all fished out little by little. Because the members of the biedong team during this period were strictly screened by Kang Ze, it was extremely difficult to transform, and Hu Weidong lacked political workers at hand, so he simply gave them a happy heart, with the sins they committed, which was already quite merciful

The BIEDONG team of the Blue Coat Society was originally organized in the mode of "three three systems", that is, the headquarters has jurisdiction over three teams, each team has jurisdiction over three detachments, each detachment has jurisdiction over three squadrons, and each squadron has jurisdiction over three district teams, and the district team has a detachment. At the beginning of this year (1934), in order to cooperate with Lao Chiang's fifth encirclement and suppression of the central Soviet area, the Biedong team was greatly expanded, and the general unit was expanded from three brigades to five brigades, with a total strength of more than 10,000 people. The biedong team generally wore the same style as the guys in that group, but sometimes they would disguise themselves or even disguise themselves as the Red Army to carry out their missions

In addition, the first district team of each squadron of the Biedong team is designated as a plainclothes district team and holds a secret service card to facilitate clandestine activities. Organizationally, the principle of "military uniforms covering plainclothes and plainclothes leading military uniforms" is adopted, thus forming a three-tier structure, that is, the corps, plainclothes, and ordinary team members. In addition, the BIEDONG team members also assist or lead the militia group, the security regiment and even the central army to carry out the task of "suppressing bandits", usually individuals or detachments, but sometimes they will also dispatch a district team or even a squadron, detachment, or even a brigade
