Then, not long after Ding Wei and others met, there was very dramatic news.

It is said that there is a little devil who has not had time to withdraw and is completely besieged in Shannan Town, these little devils are very despicable, seeing that they are completely besieged by the Eighth Route Army, they can't escape, so they control all the people in the town who have not had time to move, as a threat.

"That little devil claimed to be the chief of staff of the 17th Division of the Japanese Army who came to watch the battle, Major General Matsushita!"

Knowing that the other party was still a major general, Ding Wei and the others were indeed a little surprised.

Commander Xu was even more overjoyed.

"I didn't expect to catch a big fish in one net, Major General Devil, I can't imagine it in the past, it is a remarkable achievement to be able to capture such a prisoner alive!"

It's just how to save the villagers in Shannan Town from the hands of little devils? This has become a headache for everyone.

But then, more dramatic news came.

Panasonic, an old devil, took the initiative to let the traitor come and spread the word that he was willing to lead the troops to surrender to the Eighth Route Army.

It turned out that Panasonic, the old devil, retreated in the LY area, and in order to cover the evacuation of the division commander, he took the initiative to stay behind, and Ding Wei was too fast to surround him, so he became a turtle in an urn.

At this time, the situation on the Japanese side in the Chinese battlefield was already worse than a year, and the officers with a little brains, especially those like Matsushita, who were accustomed to being pampered and favored, were gradually decayed, and they had long since lost their original will to fight, and when they heard that the Eighth Route Army gave preferential treatment to prisoners, they did not have such a strong ambition to die.

In particular, the Eighth Route Army has done a good job of propaganda work over the years, and the devil officers in the rear have long heard that many soldiers of the empire have chosen to surrender, and they have all received preferential treatment in the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, and they are even allowed to write letters and send them back to China, or send them back to the troops!

Matsushita said that the safety of the town's people would be exchanged for a decent surrender.

The only additional requirement is ......" He said, to observe the battle of our Eighth Route Army up close! ”

Knowing Panasonic's request, Ding Weile said: "It's a little interesting, it seems that this old devil is not convinced by the loss, and wants to see with his own eyes how we defeated them."

Then tell Panasonic this old devil that we will agree to his request, and we will definitely put on a big show for him at that time! ”

"Yes!"

In this way, not long after, Matsushita really led the remnants of the hundreds of teams to choose to surrender, and the people in the town were also safeguarded, Ding Wei, Commander Xu and his party also did what they said, and really brought Panasonic as a prisoner to observe the next battle.

When I saw that the Eighth Route Army was well-equipped, there was no shortage of tanks and artillery, and when it came to the basic squad and platoon-level firepower, it was even stronger than the Japanese army.

These cunning eight-way roads have even developed a firepower configuration that specifically restrains the firepower of the Japanese army at the grassroots level.

As a result, Matsushita was completely desperate, he let out a long sigh, and surrendered to the same adjutant with a dejected face, and said to the adjutant who came to observe together: "Holy war, after all, it is going to decline, and the Eighth Route Army has now developed!"

It seems that the defeat of the 5th Division and the Ushijima Manchu Division is not a shame, it should have been expected a long time ago, we are too light on the enemy! ”

Looking at the strong, disciplined, and heavily armed troops of the Eighth Route Army, he then asked the adjutant:

"Sajiro, what are the characteristics of the armed forces of the Eighth Route Army of these three different combat units?"

Sajiro looked at several Eighth Route Army troops from a distance, and then said: "Those teams wearing steel helmets, with complicated equipment and neat weapons, should be the most elite steel helmets in the Taihang area of the legendary Eighth Route Army."

This wears an ordinary military uniform and a steel helmet, but it is not so complicated equipment, but the weapons are neat, and it should be the main force of the Taihang area of the Eighth Route Army.

The rest should be the Tuba Road in Shandong, as well as the so-called New Fourth Army, right?

General, with all due respect, I watched them fight along the way, the elite steel helmets and ordinary steel helmets are well trained, these dirt eight roads are much inferior, many people even have guns in tatters, single tactics, and no firepower preparation.

If there were more steel helmets, I am afraid that it would be difficult for our imperial army to control this huge occupation area with a small number of troops. ”

This is the opinion of the devil adjutant after analysis.

Matsushita shook his head, looked at the other devil officers, and said, "Do you only see these simple superficial gaps?"

Didn't you find out?

Aren't these units of the Eighth Route Army very harmonious when they come together, like old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time? ”

As soon as these words came out, sure enough, a few little devils were stunned.

He pointed to the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were maintaining order, assisting the people in extinguishing fires and clearing roads, and said: "You see that no matter how elite they are, they are so disciplined and united, and they help each other and develop together.

Look at us again, if the soldiers of the Guards Division are together with us, the soldiers of ordinary divisions, will it be like this?

No, they will look down on us second-rate troops from the bottom of their bones, and they will not lower their bodies to cooperate with us.

This fundamentally shows that there is no gap between the elite units of the Eighth Route Army and the ordinary troops, and no matter how big the losses are, they can be immediately withdrawn and replenished.

Look at us now, or are we the same as we were at the beginning?

Let's take a look at this battle in Shandong, the 12th Army was beaten to Liaocheng, Jinan, Tai'an, Dezhou, Xinxiang; The First Army was beaten to the point of shrinking Changzhi, Yuncheng, Linfen, and Taiyuan, all of which were fighting hard, but what about the mobile troops that should have been quickly reinforced in all directions?

In addition to us, their troops appeared?

Even the attached air force left the battlefield after dropping bombs indiscriminately, and sometimes they bombed indiscriminately without even looking at the target.

Each has its own little abacus, and each wants to shirk its responsibilities, so how can it be possible to win a war like this?

The battle in Shandong is estimated to be over soon, everyone, let's go to the Taihang area to have a look, the war has nothing to do with us, I believe that His Excellency the division commander will help us take care of our families when he breaks out! ”

After another rendezvous of troops.

Seeing that there were still some devil officers in the observation team who were suppressed by the soldiers, and the leader was even a major general, Tan Zhengwei, who rushed over, admired it very much:

"Obediently, Commander Chen, you also fished a devil major general in LY! It's amazing, the battle must be fierce, right? ”

Poof—

Director Xiao, who was drinking water, was almost choked, and said with a wry smile: "Old Tan, don't mention it, I really can't say anything about it."

We set up blocking positions in the preset area, and all the troops were determined to fight to the death with the little devils, fighting to the death, but the result was good, damn it, I didn't even see the shadow of the devil!

Only then did we learn about the situation, and our feelings made us like little devils facing the enemy, and we were directly defeated by Ding Wei and their mobile troops in the middle of the road.

The soldiers were all over the mountains to catch prisoners, and the devils we caught in the past were crying and making trouble, but I didn't expect that Ding Wei's troops shouted to the small group of troops surrounded by the little devils, and basically obediently disarmed and surrendered.

Good guys, I don't know what these little devils have heard, they see the troops in the Taihang area one by one, just like mice see cats! ”

At this time, the acting commander of the 115th Division, Division Commander Chen, said: "Comrades, we have been chatting for a long time, why don't we see the commanders of the three most elite field troops?"

This Pingdu City has been defeated, what rare treasures are there in this Pingdu City that are worth the three of them sneaking to hide and find? ”

A general said with a smile: "I went all the way with Li Yunlong from Xuzhou, and I was a little interested in Rizhao's Type 96 cannon, and the others were basically not eye-catching, let's give it to others, people don't want it, and it was left directly to our team, even the devil's latest type of chariot, people don't even look down on it."

A rarity?

Could it be that Li Yunlong has found a wife he has never met? ”

Hahaha –

Everyone burst into laughter.

Lao Pile said: "Li Yunlong, with his big head and violent temper, Lord Yama has to write that he is unmarried in the book of life and death, can he find a wife?" ”

Now everyone laughed even more.

Soon after, the leaders of the troops from all walks of life continued to gather in the city gate building, and even General Xu, who was recuperating, came, and under the treatment of medical experts from the detachment and the headquarters and the Allied forces, the head disease slowly improved, and he was able to work normally.

Everyone said hello.

Suddenly, a few more gunshots rang out, and I saw the British commandos and the American commandos escorting a group of prisoners of war through the market in armored vehicles that had captured the devils, cheering with the people, and from time to time firing two shots with pistols to intimidate the prisoners of war.

Lao Luo said: "Aren't they too ostentatious and not in line with our discipline!" ”

Brigade Commander Zhou said: "They deserve to be paraded through the streets, and my guards asked, these people are special agents of the gendarmerie organs, they are not even soldiers, they are all stained with the blood of our Chinese, and they are not normal prisoners."

If it weren't for the public trial, I would have wanted to run over these shit people with a tank. ”

While speaking, Commander Xu saw Kong Jie's deputy political commissar Liu's convoy passing by, and hurriedly stopped it, asking: "Why did you only see your main force passing by, where did Kong Jie and Li Yunlong go?" ”

When Deputy Political Commissar Liu saw a group of old-timers, he immediately got out of the car and reported: "The detachment commander, they are interrogating the head of the devil's secret service at the military police headquarters!" ”

"Leaders, are you hungry? I'm here to bring them food, and Staff Officer Doolittle is there! ”

Then Deputy Political Commissar Liu shouted to the convoy behind: "Lieutenant Denver, send you a little meat buns, drinks, and chicken rolls." ”

The Denver black catering team that came with the commandos took the food and got off the bus, and the leaders saw a black man for the first time, and it was like a ghost, and they almost pulled out their guns.

Later, everyone also wanted to know what secrets they had discovered, and they also asked the guards to drive and go to the gendarmerie headquarters together.

In the Pingdu Military Police Headquarters, it was also busy at this time.

At Kong Jie's request, the military police detachment of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, which came with Kong Jie's troops, cooperated with the intelligence detachment of the headquarters to completely control the military police headquarters, and those who screened materials and inspected materials were all busy.

At this time, Kong Jie didn't care about greeting his old comrades-in-arms, and pulled Staff Officer Liu, Doolittle, and the leader of Yan'an from the Air Force Command who came by plane to appear here in a low-key manner.

Even Ding Wei and Li Yunlong sat in the interrogation room with serious faces.

Opposite the person who was being interrogated was Okita, a staff officer of the Intelligence Section of the North China Dispatch Army, and it was unusual for this person to appear here.

In addition, Kong Jie sent a surprise attack force, disguised as a tanker truck supply team, bypassing Jiaozhou County to attack Qingdao's flank, and successfully occupied Qingdao Port.

After Kong Jie received the top-secret communication sent back by Duan Peng, who accompanied the raid, and communicated with the others, he immediately sensed that the devil must have an unusual method.

He ordered the troops to immediately transfer supplies, dispatched Mosquito fighters and Katerina seaplanes to search the sea, and transferred supplies overnight, especially to bring back all the coastal defense artillery to the base area of Lao Xu in Jiaodong.

The three additional captured Type 96 240-mm howitzers were camouflaged and transported overnight by railway to the direction of Jizhong, preparing to take advantage of the fact that the 1st and 5th divisions of the Taihang area were attacking the periphery of the SJZ and were transported back to the Taihang base area via the Zhengtai line.

-- The U.S. side sent several 45-ton tractors, which could barely be pulled back to the headquarters by heavy trailers after rail transportation, but they came in handy.

In fact, when Kong Jie found out that the fleet was not there, he probably had an idea, the devil could bypass the land route to support the Shandong battlefield, which was nothing more than transporting troops from Korea by ship, or transporting the Kwantung Army through Dalian, or transporting the mobile troops of the Thirteenth Army from Shanghai.

In particular, Li Yunlong also found a nautical chart in the office, which is even more illustrative.

A group of people came to interrogate to get accurate information.

Li Yunlong wanted to know where the gold transferred from the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine had gone, and how much it was.

Several people took turns interrogating here, but Okita didn't say a word.

The monk outside, the tiger, the eagle - Ding Wei's guard captain, the three of them were very relaxed, and they were cooking in a marching pot outside the door.

The eagle said: "Look at this posture, if you ask something, it is estimated that you will have to go treasure hunting overnight, I don't know if it is intelligence information, weapons and ammunition, or a secret radio station." ”

The monk smiled and said, "Maybe it's a big treasury!" Hey! ”

At this time, Deputy Political Commissar Liu came over with a group of leaders, and when he saw that these few were actually eating a small hot pot, Lao Pi scolded: "You guys are relaxed, tell you that eating alone will give birth to children without assholes."

Monk, you kid really knows how to live, and he has wine and meat, so if the master of your temple knows about it, he won't break your legs? ”

The monk hurriedly got up, saluted solemnly, and reported: "Report to the leader, I have long been vulgar...... Leader, our detachment leader is interrogating the devil's intelligence staff officer! Shall I take everyone in? ”

Lao Pi said: "Don't worry, I'll have a meal with you outside, just wait for the news."

I want to see what high-value information Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and a few of them have ignored so many seizures and rushed here in a hurry, what kind of high-value information can they knock out of the devil's mouth! ”

Lao Pi could sit still, but the rest of the people couldn't sit still, so they immediately rushed to the interrogation room.
