…… On the second day after Shen Wenyue and his entourage left the base of the Independent Regiment.

As the main force of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi marched to Jinnan to fight, the sneak attacks on various Japanese strongholds and the sabotage operations on highways, railways, and other communication lines were rapidly launched by the new 1st and 2nd regiments of the independent regiment.

On the other hand, what is secretly going on is the expansion and control of the vast number of villages.

The soldiers cooperated with the comrades of the martial arts team to continue to build a two-sided government in the village, and build a nail village and a fortress village in the dark.

In fact, the Japanese army in Shanxi went to Jinnan with the main force of the First Army to fight, and how could Yoshio Shinozuka, who expected that this battle would last a long time, not make some preparations for the security of the county town in the rear?

Yoshio Shinozuka has always been very wary of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area.

In particular, the three regiments of the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army near Yangquan and Ping'an counties.

For this reason, before the outbreak of the Jinnan Campaign, Yoshio Shinozuka specially strengthened the garrison defense forces around the three regiments of the Iron Triangle and the county seats.

The strongholds, large and small, also turned from offensive to defensive, and according to Shinozuka Yoshio's plan, they were temporarily turned to defense, and when the Jinnan Battle ended, the imperial troops brought a great victory and destroyed the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

In addition, in response to the recent continuous raids of the three regiments of the Iron Triangle, Yoshio Shinozuka ordered on the one hand to strengthen the defensive forces around the base areas of the three regiments of the Iron Triangle, and on the other hand, he ordered to secretly transfer the elite of the Japanese army, disguised as the troops of the Imperial Allied Army, and reinforce them near Yangquan and Ping'an County, specifically to deal with the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment.

Yoshio Shinozuka is an interesting old devil who realizes that the intensity of the Eighth Route Army's ambush against the Imperial forces and the Imperial Allied Army is completely different.

If it was the Imperial forces that were ambushed, the Eighth Route would never spare the slightest hand, and would slam and fight until all the Imperial forces were destroyed.

However, if the ambush was an Imperial Allied Army, the Eighth Route Army would often fight and intimidate until the Imperial Allied Army troops were forced to surrender.

So Yoshio Shinozuka thought of this trick and asked the elite troops of the empire to disguise themselves as puppet army troops and go out to sweep in the clothes of the soldiers of the Imperial Cooperative Army.

If the Eighth Route Army encounters it halfway in this way, if the Eighth Route Army fights the elite of the empire as a third-rate imperial alliance army with third-rate combat effectiveness, it will definitely suffer a big loss.

In addition to these means, Yoshio Shinozuka also left Kazuki Yamamoto as a secret hand to infiltrate and counterattack the independent group.

Yoshio Shinozuka understands Kong Jie's character too well in this regard, and the active attack is the best defense for the independent regiment.

……

Nine days.

A Japanese army disguised as a unit of the Eighth Route Army, with the appearance of more than 20 people, suddenly touched some villages in the middle line of the village where the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army were fighting.

The role of this Japanese army, according to Shinozuka Yoshio's plan, was to test whether some villages were secretly connected to the Eight Roads.

The temptation is simple.

The Japanese army disguised itself as a unit of the Eighth Route Army entered the village, on the one hand, to see the attitude of the villagers towards these "Eighth Route Army", if the attitude was enthusiastic, and even took the initiative to report the movements of the Japanese army, it would definitely be a secret Eighth Route Army.

If the people don't have secret access to the Eighth Route Army, the devils can investigate by the way, whether there are hidden militia units of the Eighth Route Army in the surrounding area, or guerrillas, it is best to fish out these guys and eliminate them in one fell swoop.

Chenjia Village, which is a village closer to the county seat of the Japanese army.

On the surface, the people in the village are very honest, pay taxes and grain on time, and often accept the inspection of the Japanese puppet army entering the village, and implement the system of protecting armor and sitting together, and nothing has happened.

However, the Japanese army has always been uneasy, always suspecting that this village still has secret access to the Eighth Route Army, and secretly has secret contacts with the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, this special unit disguised as the Eighth Route Army was sent to test it.

These guys were all members of the advance team specially prepared by the First Army to deal with the Eighth Route Army.

These members have lived with Chinese for a long time, and have studied Chinese language, customs and other aspects of culture.

In the end, to what extent do these guys understand the Chinese language and culture?

Throw them in the Chinese pile, and you can't even tell whether he's Japanese or Chinese.

"Remember, from now on, we will change our identity to me, we are ordinary Chinese people, all the behavior and habits have been changed according to the habits of the Chinese we have studied, and those villagers must not be allowed to find any flaws."

When the team was not far from Chenjia Village, Shigeo Hiramatsu, the leader of the advance team in charge of the trial, explained in authentic Chinese.

There were even some Shanxi local accents in his words, not to mention Chinese, and even the little devils disguised as the Eighth Route Army next to him couldn't hear the flaws.

At this moment, these devils are wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army.

Whether it is the equipment carried or the wear, there are almost no flaws.

also deliberately made the military uniform old, trying to be the same as the image of those dirt roads that he saw on weekdays.

Coupled with these pretenders, their acting skills are quite good, pretending to be the Eighth Route Army, or secretly appearing in the evening, and when they see some villagers in the village, they look around vigilantly.

Shigeo Hiramatsu said to some of the villagers he met, "Fellow villagers, we are guerrillas, and it is getting late this day, and there is no shelter around, can we stay in your village for one night?"

By the way, you don't have Japanese eyeliner in your village, right? ”

Because Shigeo Hiramatsu's entourage was so disguised that the villagers who came into contact with it were not aware of it at first.

The old village chief of Chenjia Village (the armor protection and sitting system of this generation has not yet been completely implemented) even came forward to receive him in person, and secretly stayed in the village with Shigeo Hiramatsu, who was disguised as a guerrilla.

Originally, everything was going well, and some villagers were a little wary of talking to some of the pretenders, and they didn't think much of it when they found that the pretenders spoke fluently and with local accents.

It wasn't until dinner time that one of the pretenders accidentally revealed some flaws when talking to the old village chief - perhaps because he wanted to know the answer too much, and was too urgent, the pretender suddenly inquired about some news about the independent group.

The propaganda cadres of the Independent Regiment have long been vaccinated against the villagers in the surrounding and outlying villages.

But most of the troops who have nothing to inquire about the details of the Eighth Route Army have problems, and the villagers must be more cautious in dealing with them.

The old village chief became suspicious, so he casually fooled around a few words, and dealt with the past, saying that he did not know much about the problem of the independent regiment.

Then, the old village chief temporarily stabilized Shigeo Hiramatsu and his party, and found some villagers in the village who had been in contact with the comrades of the Eighth Route Army to discuss the matter.

"Village chief, do you mean to suspect that these Eight Roads comrades are fake?"

"But we didn't find any flaws?"

In the darker and darker twilight, a few confused faces were revealed in the remote earthen house, and the old village chief and the villagers, you and I discussed sentence by sentence.

"It's hard to tell the truth from the fake, they still speak with a local accent, what if it's really Comrade Balu?"

"But they took the initiative to ask about the Independence Regiment." The old village chief spoke, "Have you forgotten what some of the propaganda officers of the Independent Regiment said a few days ago? ”

"The foreign guerrillas are somewhat inquiring about the details of the independent regiment, and they also tentatively asked me if there is a militia organization or a martial arts team in our village."

When the old village chief said this, several villagers who had been in contact with the pretenders before also hesitated.

"Village chief, if you want to say this, there is indeed this possibility, in case it is really a devil or a traitor disguised as the Eighth Road, it is not good."

"What now? If we don't try to tempt and tempt, are they really eight ways? ”

"How do you try?"

Valley paralysis

"Have you forgotten the pamphlet sent by Comrade Eighth Road? There are many ways to identify whether it is a devil or not, let's try it and find out. ”

The old village chief said: "I'm going to prepare a little coriander, as mentioned in the album, little Japan generally hates eating coriander, let's try it." ”

A villager said: "Village chief, then let's go our separate ways, and let's talk to those eight-way comrades and see if we can find any problems." ”

After discussing the countermeasures, everyone acted quickly, and the old village chief quickly prepared a handful of coriander and sprinkled it in the rice soup served to those comrades of the Eighth Road.

In the hall.

The old village chief brought rice soup sprinkled with coriander to the "Eight Roads", and Shigeo Hiramatsu, as the leader of the guerrillas, hurriedly thanked him.

Several villagers who rushed over to investigate the situation were chatting with Maoxiong and his party in Heping Village without saying a word.

These "Eight Paths" seem to be very talkative, and they think that they have not revealed any flaws in their conversations with these villagers.

But the occasional eye contact between several villagers and the old village chief became more and more hesitant.

After chatting for a while, there were only some scraps left on the table, and the old village chief and the villagers left the house, leaving Shigeo Hiramatsu and his party to rest for a while.

A corner of the backyard.

The faces of the old village chiefs who had reunited were ugly.

One said: "There must be something wrong with these people, I guess most of them are not comrades of the Eighth Road." ”

One said: "When they answer questions, they really hesitate for a moment, and if you look carefully at the expressions on their faces, they always seem to have a feeling of being closed and unable to let go, and when they laugh, they feel that their smiles are fake."

These are very similar to the fake eight-way pictures in the booklet. ”

The other said: "There is a problem, I noticed that many Balu deliberately kept the coriander in the bowl, or picked it out, these may not show that these Balu comrades are fake, but the absolute problem is that there are some leftovers on the plate!" ”

"The anti-Japanese conditions of the Eighth Route comrades are difficult, and they usually don't even have enough to eat, so how can they leave leftovers?"

"Well, there are even some rice grains in the bowl!"

"I don't look like a soldier when I eat, how to put it, it's a little too gentle, like I've never been hungry."

……

"Village Chief, now we can basically determine that these Eight Roads are fake, what should we do next?"

The old village chief thought for a while and said: "These fake eight roads appear here, there must be some ulterior motives, if we secretly notify the comrades of the martial arts team to help, in case the news is revealed, the devil will definitely believe that our village is secretly connected to the eight roads." ”

"In this way, Amin, I will stabilize these fake Eighth Routes first, and a few of you will immediately rush to Tangyuan Town to report the situation to the Japanese, and say that a group of Eighth Route Army has appeared in our village, and we have stabilized it, so let them come over and exterminate the Eighth Route immediately."

Several villagers were stunned, and then gave a thumbs up to the village chief.

"Village chief, this trick is amazing, let's let the little devil eat the dog!"

……

Inside the hall.

The partner next to him whispered in Japanese, "Captain, the people of Chenjia Village are so enthusiastic about the Eighth Road, they must have secretly connected to the Eighth Road, or we will ...... directly."

He made a motion to wipe his neck.

Shigeo Hiramatsu whispered in Chinese: "Bastard, speak Chinese." ”

"Yes!"

"Remember, our task is to infiltrate the base of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, take the opportunity to steal intelligence, if you find an opportunity, you can carry out the mission of covert ambush and assassination, these ordinary villagers are not our target, it is not worth shooting, as for the villagers here secretly communicating with the Eighth Route Matter, we will pass the news back, and naturally someone will deal with it."

"Yes!"

"Captain, what next?"

"These villagers are very cunning, they have been going around the corner, and they will find a way to see if they can get useful information out of their mouths and figure out where the troops of the independent regiment in the surrounding area are stationed." Shigeo Hiramatsu said.

"Yes!"

……

Around eight o'clock in the evening.

It was already completely dark, and Shigeo Hiramatsu thought that it would be difficult to continue to act in the dark, so he would stay in Chenjia Village for one night first.

The old village chief continued to warmly entertain Shigeo Hiramatsu and his entourage, and also set aside a compound for Shigeo Hiramatsu and others to settle down.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, just as Shigeo Hiramatsu and his party were about to rest, out of his usual habit, a companion who was working as a secret sentinel outside the house suddenly noticed some movement not far away.

The battle broke out rather suddenly, and someone threw grenades directly into the courtyard.

There were a few loud bangs, completely breaking the dead silence of Chenjia Village at night.

The Japanese squad leader Aoki Saburo, who led the team all the way over, was full of excitement, and there were really eight roads hidden in this village.

The two sides fought for a while, and Shigeo Hiramatsu, who had an ugly face, also realized that it was the Imperial troops who suddenly attacked him.

It's embarrassing now, there was a big misunderstanding, and my own people started to fight my own people.

The voice of the old village chief sounded outside the house.

"Taijun, Balu is in the house, there are twenty-five people in total, and they all have weapons in their hands, you have to be careful."

Shigeo Hiramatsu was dumbfounded, the people of Chenjia Village didn't secretly pass the Eight Roads, and secretly reported to the imperial army?

In the darkness of the night, the fighting between the two sides intensified.

That Aoki Saburo originally wanted to capture these eight roads alive and get some important information, but the exchange of fire for a while, no effect, gritted his teeth, he directly ordered the use of grenadiers, ready to directly blow up the entire courtyard.

Shigeo Hiramatsu, who was in the room, was speechless, and he heard Saburo Aoki's Japanese password.

But right now, even if you shout out and show that you are Japanese, most people will not be convinced.

Shigeo Hiramatsu hurriedly led the team to escape through the back door of the courtyard.

As a result, he had just rushed out of the backyard and was ambushed again.

The old village chief, who was accompanying Saburo Aoki, said: "The gunshots came from the backyard, Taijun, I guessed right, these eight roads will definitely escape from the backyard." ”

"Roar!" Saburo Aoki was overjoyed and led the team to outflank the backyard.

In the end, the battle lasted for another ten minutes, and Shigeo Hiramatsu broke out with the only eight remaining people, leaving behind sixteen corpses, which were directly packed and taken away by the proud Aoki Saburo as evidence of the brave battle tonight to destroy the Eighth Route Army......
