The order of the command of the detachment was given quite explicitly:

By all means, the swept Japanese puppet army was kept within the base area for at least ten hours.

After the order was issued, the comrades of the local army and the militia, who were responsible for containing the Japanese army along the way, all made full efforts to launch an attack.

In the confrontation between the two sides, feeling the well-equipped, powerful firepower, and fierce combat effectiveness of these Eighth Route Army troops entangled along the way, the little devil was bitter, and at the same time wondered in his heart:

In the advance of the autumn harvest operation to sabotage the Eighth Route Army, it was constantly blocked by these Eighth Route Army troops all the way.

The number of troops that emerged from the other side even caused the Japanese troops to advance from multiple directions this time to be hindered to varying degrees.

Even if the Eighth Route Army is strong and strong, so many main forces, it is almost all the elite of the team.

Judging from the various indications of the two sides, these Eighth Route Army, which was fighting with the Japanese army, must be the main force of the detachment.

But why did the news come from the direction of the county headquarters that a large number of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army had appeared in the farmland area of the suburbs?

So, what kind of team are these Eighth Route Army, which is attacking fiercely and entangled in front of them, and they are temporarily unable to withdraw from a detachment of base areas?

Could it be that they are all field armies of the Eighth Route Army?

So how many elite troops does this detachment have?

At this time, the rear of the Japanese army, the suburbs of the major county seats.

In the case that the main force of the Japanese army was entangled by the troops of the Eighth Route Army, it was temporarily unable to withdraw from the base area of the Eighth Route Army to support the county seat.

The little devils gave full play to the spirit of "self-help" and mobilized all the puppet policemen of the puppet army garrison, the devils of the gendarmerie and a small number of field troops stationed in the county towns and towns to reinforce in the suburbs.

After the Devil's flight unit returned to the airfield, it was on standby for the time being, but it did not rush to bomb the farmland area in the suburbs.

Not to the last step, they have also been seriously affected by the drought this year, and the little devils who are extremely short of military rations are unwilling to blow up their own food.

...... "Commander, the reinforcements of the devil found a kilometer away are rapidly approaching the farmland area."

On the outskirts of Yangquan, on the thousands of acres of farmland under the centralized management of the Japanese army, Shen Quan, the commander of the 3rd Independent Regiment, who was directing the soldiers to participate in the harvest operation, received news from the forward scouts.

"How many devils are there? What is the team? What's the firepower on?" Shen Quan asked.

The scout soldier replied, "There are three or four hundred people, and the composition of the team is very chaotic, not all of them are devils' field troops, some of them are like little devils of the gendarmerie, and some of them are pseudo-policemen."

Shen Quan nodded and sneered disapprehantly, "I thought it was the devil's main field force that came back to help!"

I'll just say, their little devils have entered our team's base area, it's easy to go, and if you want to leave, you have to see if our old head agrees.

Tell my comrades, don't worry, you just throw off your arms and grab the grain, and as for the little devils who have come over, I will arrange a team to clean them up."

"Yes!"

……

The confrontation between the two sides was a preliminary trial.

Some of the second devils in the county, a small number of Japanese field troops, plus the little devils of the gendarmerie.

In Li Yunlong's words, it is not even a second-rate combat power.

At the moment, in front of a team that is strong in combat and well-equipped, it is even less worth mentioning.

In the fierce battle, the two sides put on a posture.

It was just a face-to-face encounter, less than three minutes.

The little devils of the gendarmerie and the two devils of the puppet army garrison, with the help of the firepower fortifications built in the alleys, were directly defeated by the combat platoon sent by Shenquan.

The level of firepower on both sides is not at all on the same level.

These Japanese puppet troops, who usually only maintain law and order, are far inferior to the elite field army of the Japanese army in terms of firepower allocation.

And the current team of soldiers, after being equipped with a large amount of American-style equipment, even the field army of the devils can only be beaten in terms of equipment.

"Taijun, this is definitely the main force of the Eighth Road, the other party's firepower is too strong, let's withdraw quickly, if we don't withdraw, it's all over!"

Facing the artillery fire of the soldiers of the Third Independent Regiment, the captain of the puppet army garrison said with a panicked face.

The enemy's curling fire was directly bombarded at the fortifications they had built behind the alley.

The power of the shells was much greater than the grenadiers that the Japanese puppet army was most familiar with.

It was a much more powerful gun than even a grenadier.

The caliber is noticeably small, but the power is amazing.

The captain of the devil's gendarmerie also realized that the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was well-equipped and had strong combat effectiveness.

He even recognized that the opponent's Eighth Route Army had a large number of American weapons and equipment in their hands.

Such a team, if it is not the main force of the Eighth Route Army, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

So this old devil hurriedly gave the order to retreat, and through the command headquarters, the news that the Eighth Route Army, which appeared in the suburban farmland and was harvesting the crops of the Great Japanese Empire, must be the main force of the Eighth Route Army was transmitted to the general headquarters in the rear.

Taiyuan City.

The Japanese army was stationed in the headquarters of the First Army in Shanxi.

Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the devil, gets the news.

was also stunned.

Kitagawa, the chief of staff of the devil on the side, was also puzzled by this:

"General, this matter is really strange, this time our army launched a sweep against the autumn harvest grain of the Eighth Route Army.

In all directions, sweeping troops advanced along the way, forcing the Eighth Route Army encountered along the way to constantly retreat.

And in the direction of the Eighth Route Army's detachment, we have put out nearly two additional brigades.

The advance was constantly blocked by the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and judging by the equipment and combat effectiveness of the opponent's Eighth Route Army, it should be the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

In the hands of the opposing side there was a considerable number of light and heavy machine guns, and even mortars, which were the hallmarks of the main forces of a detachment.

But this suddenly appeared on the outskirts of our army's county town and attacked the eighth road of our army's crops.

After the gendarmerie confronted them, they found that the other side was equally strong in combat and even had some American-style equipment.

Such a team seems to be the main force of the Eight Roads."

"And for the direction of the Eighth Route Army's detachment, whether it is the Eighth Route encountered on the way forward, or the Eighth Route encountered in the rear of the county seat, it is most likely the team of the Eighth Route Army."

"Based on the judgment of our army's intelligence department on the main force of the Eighth Route Army, the strength is about 6,000 people."

"But this time, if you count the main force of the team that appeared along the way, plus the main force of the Eighth Route Army that appeared in the farmland areas of each county."

"I'm afraid that this Kong Jie's team has more than 10,000 troops, but how is this possible? How is it possible that our intelligence services are unaware of this?"

The same is true of Yoshio Shinozuka's doubts in his heart.

Where would these two old devils know.

Before the autumn harvest defense battle, the equipment of the main force of the other team was changed again.

The 50 small artillery, including some 50 mortars, which was originally attached to the main force, was turned around and strengthened to the local army units and militia units.

The main force was equipped with a considerable amount of American-style equipment.

However, the Japanese intelligence department's judgment on the equipment and firepower configuration of the main force of the Eighth Route Army remained in the past.

This naturally led to a miscalculation of the Japanese army:

The local armies of the Eighth Route Army, as well as the militia units, were fighting hard along the way, and the equipment they used was some machine guns and mortars that only the main force of the Eighth Route Army had.

From this, the Japanese army was sure that it would be the main force of the Eighth Route Army that would be blocking along the way.

Isn't this Kong Jie's fool?

……

At this time, Yangquan, Shouyang, Tanxian, Heyuan, Ping'an, Zhangzhuang and other major county seats.

Suddenly, there were a large number of similar sounds, in the streets and alleys, and the streets were spreading:

"Folks, have you heard? Captain Kong's troops have already broken through the city gate and are now harvesting the little devil's crops!"

Then, someone questioned, "Really?"

"Fellow, can I still lie to you?

An hour ago, everyone should have heard the sound of cannons coming from the direction of the city gate.

This little devil forced our villagers to plant a large number of crops, and once harvested, it was also used to bully us Chinese and encroach on our Chinese land.

Naturally, Captain Kong had to send someone to rob the devil's food!"

"It is estimated that at this moment, the comrades of the Eighth Route Army are harvesting grain in the farmland!"

Then another voice rang out, "I heard that many of the villagers near the farmland have already run to help.

The comrades of the Eighth Route Army were very grateful for this, and said that the villagers who came to help each sent 50 catties of food!"

As soon as these words came out, the people, who had been thinking of helping, became more and more excited, and under the guidance of the "relevant people", they rushed over in the direction of the farmland and with farm tools.

Recently, the drought has become more and more serious, and the price of grain in the county has skyrocketed, and the 50 catties of grain are a lot of wealth for ordinary people.

In addition, the troops of the Eighth Route Army were deeply supported by the people.

This is true not only in the base areas, but also in the county towns and towns in the enemy-occupied areas.

Even if it wasn't for the 50 catties of food, the people were willing to run to help.

This is of course due to the fact that the propaganda work of a team is in place.

In every big battle, every victory, through the comrades of the enemy's Ministry of Works, the news spread through the streets and alleys of the enemy-occupied areas.

It is said that many people living in the county town have also developed such a habit:

While eating, I took the newspaper issued by a detachment and read the battle report of the Eighth Route Army's defeat of the little devils.

The food in the bowl seems to be more fragrant, and the appetite is even more open.

All this even gave the people in the enemy-occupied areas a delusion:

The little devil may be defeated by the Eighth Route Army at any time, and the lost territory may be recovered at any time.

As a result, the anti-Japanese sentiment of the people was high, and their support for the Eighth Route Army was even greater

…… Soon after.

A large number of people with farm tools and enthusiastically running to help appeared.

The three regiment leaders, Lei Dasheng, Wang Leihu, and Shen Quan, had even more smiles on their faces.

They were not surprised by the current scene.

This is part of the old leader's plan.

Otherwise, the main force of the 123rd Regiment, although there are quite a few troops, there are nearly 6,000 troops.

But after all, it is impossible to stand the huge area of farmland that the devils have planned in the suburbs, tens of thousands of acres, or even hundreds of thousands of acres.

It's not a mechanized harvest.

The harvesting capacity of the manual is quite limited.

At this time, the advantage of large numbers of people and great strength is reflected.

When it comes to harvesting the farmer, two people are always much faster than one.

The soldiers of a certain company of the Independent Regiment were responsible for nearly 200 acres of grain.

More than 100 soldiers harvested nearly 200 acres of grain straw with sickles.

Even if the warriors have fast hands and feet, the knives are also very sharp, and they have rich experience in harvesting millet, and each person can harvest one or two acres of land every day, and more than 1,300 square meters of land are almost dying.

For the 200 acres of land in front of them, it is estimated that it will take a day for the soldiers to completely harvest them.

But the key is that time is quite tight, and the devil reinforcements may come back at any time.

The current rush to collect is no different from pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.

It's about speed!

The order of Lei Dasheng, the head of the first regiment, was even more clear, and the harvest should be completed within three hours.

This embarrassed the warriors, and the bent waist didn't have time to straighten up at all, so they could only bury their heads and keep wielding their sickles, even in this late autumn season, they were still tired and sweating profusely.

In the midst of the tense harvest, a soldier suddenly shouted, "Company commander, the villagers have come to help!"

As soon as the company commander raised his head, good guys, there must be at least more than a thousand people coming over!

Everyone had farm tools in their hands, some with sickles, and some couldn't find them, so they simply brought their kitchen knives.

The simple villagers are also practical enough, and they spontaneously threw themselves into the tense harvest operation without the company commander saying hello.

The thousands of people who suddenly joined, plus all the people who could do farm work, suddenly increased the speed of harvesting.

The villagers harvested from all directions, and the entire farmland was surrounded.

Large tracts of grain were quickly harvested.

And the situation here can only be regarded as a microcosm of the main force of the detachment this time to take a detour and grab the crops of the Japanese army.

Overlooking from the sky above the entire northwest of Jin.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the people who came to help were blended together like milk, sweating in the yellow farmland, and busy excitedly.

This outlines a wonderful picture of the integration of the military and the people of the Eighth Route Army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, helping each other, and grabbing the Japanese and autumn harvest grain!

Inside the city of Taiyuan.

The old devil Yoshio Shinozuka is still confident.

"Even if our army's intelligence fails, Kong Jie's troops have secretly grown to more than 10,000 people."

"Half of the main force was used in ambushes along the way. The rear raided the farmland of our army, and again accounted for half of the main force.

At this moment, the main force of the Eighth Route Army, which appeared in the rear of our army and raided the farmland and harvested crops, will never exceed 10,000 people."

"And the farmland that our Great Japanese Empire has planned to plant intensively, and the crops waiting to be harvested, are tens of thousands of acres?"

"Even if they give these eight roads a week, they may not be able to complete the harvest."

After making this inference, Yoshio Shinozuka, an old devil with an immortal thief heart, is still dreaming of taking the opportunity to destroy the team.

"Then use the crops in the farmland as bait, mobilize the sweeping troops from all sides to quickly return to help, and wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army that appeared in the rear this time!"

For the elimination of a team and the elimination of Kong Jie, Yoshio Shinozuka has always been determined:

"Even if it costs two brigades, it's worth it!"

……

The world flickered, and it was about seven o'clock in the afternoon, and it was nearly dusk.

Nearly six hours have passed since the main force of the Eighth Route Army appeared in the rear of the Japanese army.

The guerrilla area of the base area of the Eighth Route Army.

The Japanese mopping forces were engaged in a final confrontation with a detachment of comrades from the local army and militia.

Receiving the order of the commander Yoshio Shinozuka, the Japanese sweeping troops from all sides were eager to return for reinforcements, but they were annoyed by the entangled troops of the Eighth Route Army along the way.

The devil's sweeping force had advanced towards a detachment of farmland areas, and it had been more than ten hours by now.

In order to complete the plan of sweeping the main force to return to the rear and eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army that appeared in the rear of the county.

Yoshio Shinozuka directly sent flying troops to bomb from all sides to cover the sweeping troops from the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army along the way.

Most of the Japanese sweeping troops succeeded in getting rid of the base area of the detachment that had fallen into the quagmire and quickly returned to the rear county town.

By about half past seven, it was getting dark.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who was waiting for the main force to return to the rescue and eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the farmland area, suddenly received news from the county headquarters:

"Your Excellency, the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the farmland area on the outskirts of Yangquan have disappeared and disappeared."

"Report to the chief, the eight roads in the farmland area on the outskirts of Shouyang are missing!"

「…… Sir, the eighth road in the agricultural area of Ping'an County has been evacuated!"

"Bastard, are these damn Eighth Route Army, aware of the return of our Imperial Japanese troops, and killed them in advance?" Yoshio Shinozuka scolded secretly in his heart, and then seemed to remember something, so he asked again:

"How are the crops in the agricultural areas of the counties?"

The signal soldier who came to report the news was silent for a moment, and said with a bitter face, "Sir...... According to the reports of the county seats, a large area of crops in the agricultural area was harvested by the Eighth Route Army.

The Yangquan Command, which was the first to count the losses, reported that the farmland area on the outskirts of Yangquan, just the millet planted, was raided and seized by the Eighth Route Army.

Losses of other crops have not yet been counted.

The loss of crops in other counties is still being counted, and the final results are expected to be calculated in two hours......

Yoshio Shinozuka: "......"

"Baga, there aren't many troops of the Eighth Route Army that appeared in the rear, how could they lose so many crops?"

Yoshio Shinozuka, whose face was pale, could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and asked.
