The results far exceeded the expectations of the invalids.

Out of more than 300 people, more than 200 people were willing to stay and join the Eighth Route Army. Those who decide to leave are basically those who are close to home and have relatives at home.

"You all decided to join the Eighth Route Army?" The cautious Invalids decided to ask again.

"Participating in the Eighth Route Army and fighting devils, this is our only way to live!" Apparently a captive who took the lead stepped forward in affirmation.

Then he explained: "Sir, you don't know, we originally had more than 300 people, and after being caught here by the devils and starting to work as coolies, more than 100 people died in less than half a year, and the remaining more than 200 people were all hard-lived, but no one dared to guarantee how long they could live under the torture of the devils." ”

"You were right just now, instead of doing coolies for the devil and being tortured to death by the devil, it is better to join the Eighth Route Army, beat him and die on the battlefield!"

From the other party's conversation, Rong Jun affirmed that this person's identity was definitely not an ordinary soldier, and he hesitated for a moment or asked, "Are you?" Why was he captured by the devils! ”

"Report to the commander, I am a company commander of the Northwest Army, on the battlefield, the commander ran away, the bullets ran out, the food was eaten, and the devils released poison gas again, and finally I really didn't have the strength to be captured by the devils."

"There are more than 300 people left in the whole regiment of more than 1,000 people, and the officers are dead, and if they run artillery, I am left with a company commander!"

"Good brother! On behalf of the Eighth Route Army, I welcome you! "Invalids didn't think about it, and gave everyone an affirmative answer.

As for the heart, it has long been happy.

He knew he had picked up the baby.

Let's not talk about whether the company commander in front of him has the ability to live and die with his subordinates on the battlefield, and fight to the death without retreating, he is a hero.

As for the more than 200 people behind him, who could survive the head-on bloody battle with the devils, they were all veterans. Just give them weapons, let them rest well, and they will be able to go to war in no time.

The chief of staff of the Japanese brigade headquarters in Linfen City hesitated for several days, but decided to report to Major General Matsumoto that a large number of maintenance meetings had been attacked in the past few days, but could not find the shadow of the Eighth Route Army.

Because it was the maintenance council that was attacked, not a single imperial army died, not even a puppet army died, and the chief of staff hesitated and did not report it.

But just now, after the report of more than 300 prisoners being robbed and killed by the Eighth Route Army was delivered, the chief of staff finally couldn't help it.

The more than 300 captives were all soldiers of the Northwest Army, and if they were to be wrenched together with the remnants of the Eighth Route Army and get their weapons again, it would definitely be a big threat to the imperial army.

After listening to the report, Matsumoto's face instantly became gloomy.

Staring into the eyes of the chief of staff as if he could breathe fire, he was very angry.

After a full five seconds, he asked with a calm face: "Is there any news that the blockade line has been attacked by the Eighth Road!" ”

"Nope!" The Chief of Staff knew that the brigade commander was angry that he had made his own decisions and had not reported the news of the attack in a timely manner. In the face of questioning, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and answered immediately.

"There was no attack, so how did these dirt roads run out of the mountains!"

"Didn't the garrisons on the blockade line report that their blockade line was so seamless that not a single fly could fly over? Then where did these Eighth Route Army come from! ”

The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "I don't know about the lowly position, at that time, the lowly post sent a telegram to the garrison of the blockade line, and asked one stronghold after another, not a single stronghold was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and I didn't even see the shadow of the Eighth Route Army!" ”

"Idiots, they're all stupid pigs. The Eighth Route Army came out, and they even told me that they didn't see anything, Eight Grid Tooth Road! Major General Matsumoto was not polite at all, and scolded directly.

At this time, the chief of staff had no other way than to bear it with his head down.

Matsumoto seemed to think of something: "Can you determine how many people are in the Eighth Route Army that attacked our maintenance society!" ”

"Yes!" The chief of staff finally gave an affirmative return.

"There are a total of three Eighth Route Army troops, and the size of each Eighth Route Army is from a dozen to twenty people!"

Matsumoto's brows furrowed suddenly: "There are only more than fifty people in total, which does not match the number of remnants of the new group we know!" ”

"Before our bombing, the Eighth Route Army must have instigated a large number of prisoners to join them, and after the bombardment, they tried to break through our blockade line, but we repulsed, and the new regiment used at least two hundred men!"

The chief of staff immediately reacted: "In other words, the main force of the remnants of the new regiment is still in the mountains, and they plan to use the old method to send a part of the troops out of the mountains and fight guerrilla attacks with us outside the mountains." Some of them stayed in the mountains and set up new camps! ”

"However, this time we will definitely not be fooled again and be led by the nose by them!"

Major General Matsumoto's frowning brows also slowly relaxed, and after thinking for a while, he began to give orders.

"Remember an order just issued by the Front Army Headquarters, which requires us to use the iron-blooded cage policy to deal with the Eighth Route Army!"

"Although our current policy against the Eighth Route Army and the orders of the headquarters have many similarities, it is not iron-blooded enough!"

"Order the garrisons on the blockade line, strengthen patrols, and you can't have pillboxes to sit back and relax. I don't want to see another Eighth Route Army pass through their blockade line, whether it's entering or leaving the mountain! ”

"Chief of Staff, according to the order of the headquarters, requisition the people and the prisoners in the city to widen all the roads in Linfen to ensure that the cars and motorcycles equipped by the imperial army can quickly maneuver to every village!"

"Didn't the Eighth Route Army that attacked the Sustaining Society disappear after every operation, they must have taken a small path. Therefore, we must strengthen the mobility of the reinforcements and stick to them before they retreat. ”

"Therefore, I will apply to my superiors for a motor transport squadron to strengthen to all large strongholds and county seats, and ensure that each large stronghold has a reinforced squad to reach mechanization and rush to all villages in the jurisdiction within half an hour!"

The chief of staff's eyes lit up, and he immediately complimented: "The general is wise!" ”

"With a car, a car can reach a road that would have taken an hour to complete. In this case, Tsuchihachi Road will not have time to attack and maintain the meeting and then retreat smoothly! ”

"One more bonus!" A mysterious smile suddenly flashed across Major General Matsumoto's face.

"With cars and motorcycles, we can also patrol the roads 24 hours a day, and completely control all the roads in Linfen."

"And controlling the highway is equivalent to dividing Linfen into small areas, even if these areas have the activities of the Eighth Route Army, we can also divide them, they can't be connected with each other, and then break them down!"

"Good way!" The chief of staff said with heartfelt emotion.
