The sky in the east is a little white.
Outside the courtyard, dozens of people were sleeping in the courtyard and on the roof.
Militiamen from all directions outside the village and soldiers from the special agent platoon brought by Platoon Leader Wang were on duty.
In a broken room in the yard, four people were discussing together next to the table.
One of the soy sauce workers, a girl in gray cloth, sat on a stool with her back against the window. The pigtails on her head kept swaying back and forth in the night wind, dozing off like a chicken pecking at rice.
"That's probably the situation. I think the only way to complete your mission is to go into the city." Su Qing said as he closed a torn notebook in front of him.
"According to what you say, it's not that there's nothing we can do. It's just that we just came out of the mountains and don't have much experience. We really have gained a lot of knowledge."
"Let me tell you my opinion. First of all, you must first determine a target. Most of the Japanese officials stay in the gendarmerie or military camps. We have long understood their patterns, but our main work direction is not That's why I haven't taken action on this area, of course, because of the lack of manpower." Lao Zhou also understood that the task assigned by the special agents was to carry out assassinations, which was completely different from the work direction of the task force.
"That's great. I didn't expect you guys to do such a good job." Platoon Leader Wang smiled happily after hearing the introductions from Lao Zhou and Su Qing.
"As for the situation of the advancing team, the division has confirmed through the Japanese newspaper that the Japanese 36th Division, also known as the Snow Corps, organized two special advancing teams. The two advancing teams were composed of members of the 223rd Regiment. The squadron leader, Lieutenant Masuko Shigeo, and the squadron leader of the 224th Regiment, Lieutenant Okawa Tokichi, led the launched operation." Su Qing took out a document from the briefcase next to him.
Platoon Leader Wang took the document and looked at it carefully: "It looks like we ran away in vain this time!"
"Why?" Lao Zhou asked doubtfully.
"This group of Japs is based in the Xinzhou area in the north of Taiyuan. The information from the headquarters is accurate. It's time for them to show off their skills."
"No, it's not that simple. We learned from inside sources that the Japanese have achieved great results by using advance teams to attack, and have ordered all local troops to adopt this method of warfare. Therefore, we cannot watch them continue to develop."
"Yes, that's right. The division also has the same intention. First, it wants to retaliate and kill some of the Japanese officers. In addition, it will give a severe blow to the advance team prepared by the Japanese."
"Is there anything else the division said?" Su Qing thought for a moment: "I mean, is there anything else the division needs our cooperation with."
"Don't talk about it. This is a secret mission. We are all acquaintances. It's okay to tell you. I still have to count on your cooperation." Platoon Leader Wang thought for a moment. Without the cooperation of the work team, he would not be able to do anything on the plain. It was difficult to move forward: "The division's instructions are to carry out an attack on the Japanese North China Headquarters at all costs. However, the task is arranged by the headquarters' special agent group. We are just covering up in this area and bluffing."
"Is there a time limit for the mission?" Su Qing frowned.
"Yes, we must complete the task of wiping out a Japanese advance team before the New Year this year." Platoon Leader Wang said through gritted teeth.
"Then when do you plan to take action?" Su Qing asked again.
"You all know the current situation. It's difficult for a small number of us to get in and out of the city. We need more help from you, Lao Zhou." Platoon Leader Wang said with a wry smile.
Lao Zhou immediately responded: "There is no problem, but I think this matter cannot be rushed. We have to think about it first. Don't kill a Japanese official and get us involved. We can't do a loss-making business."
The little girl changed her position and opened her sleepy eyes: "You guys are still going, are you done?"
"No one asked you to attend the meeting. You are really sleepy. Find a place to sleep by yourself." Su Qing said angrily.
"Well, then you continue, I will continue to listen..."
I told this girl to go to bed a long time ago, but she insists on staying here. She said that now that she is the highest military commander of the Ninth Company, she can't attend this meeting. Within ten minutes of the meeting starting, she climbed on the table and snored, and she also shed tears. Drooling.
Platoon Leader Wang looked away from the girl: "This girl is actually very pitiful..."
Su Qing turned around and came back: "I'll take a look at the specific situation first. Tomorrow morning I will sort out the targets according to difficulty. You can then see how to act. For the specific details, Lao Zhou and I have to call the insiders in the city. Come and analyze it carefully.
Platoon Leader Wang yawned: "Okay, I'll leave this to you two."
"We are all on our own, so what are we doing outside?" Lao Zhou looked serious.
...
Li Youde led the team and walked in the middle of the team. Because of his presence, the team walked very slowly. This time, he didn't even ride his little donkey.
Behind him, Li Yong followed closely with a large group of people, surrounding the two of them. No one could guarantee whether the Eighth Route Army would hide in the pits on both sides of the road and shoot illegally.
I heard that the imperial cavalry suffered a heavy loss.
"uncle!"
"Um."
"I think the Eighth Route Army has just suffered a big disaster. Why do they have the courage to come out and cause trouble again!" Li Yong carefully expressed his doubts.
Li Youde said slowly: "Li Yong, no matter what we do, we must use our brains more. Think about it, if you were on the Eighth Route Army, if even your home was taken away, how could you swallow this breath?"
"That's true, but the imperial army has passed by for a while. Should we speed up?"
"Oh, you're right. It's just that your uncle and I have difficulty moving now, which is dragging down the brothers. How about you lead a team and leave first, and I will come later?"
Li Yong was a little stunned. What did he mean? When did he ask for his opinion?
This shows that I am doing well.
"Then I'll take the others and leave first?"
"Well, pay attention to safety on the road, but be careful and don't let the bad guys take advantage of you."
"Okay, I'll take two platoons and leave first. I'll leave one platoon to protect you, uncle."
"Go ahead, the main force of the Eighth Route Army is attacking the artillery towers. These are small groups of troops, so they won't get in the way."
When they came out this time, a large part of the troops from Luoye Village came out, and those who stayed in the barracks were guarded by some troops that had just been transferred from other gun towers. It seemed that the goal of the Eighth Route Army was to open up the transportation line into the mountain.
"Three, arrange for two of them to pull apart on both sides of the road. Be careful, but don't miss the eight-way road."
After Li Youde finished speaking, a confidant next to him agreed: "Yes!"
Then several black figures, including the security force named San, pulled away two to three hundred meters to both sides, pulling away from both sides of the army into the moonlight.
The distance of the third walk may be longer, and it will soon disappear into the dim night.
...
"Report to the leader, Li Yong is in the middle team, two platoons, about seventy people, and two machine guns."
"One platoon will go three miles south and dig out the road to prevent the Japanese from returning for reinforcements. The others will prepare to fight and deal with the enemy within ten minutes!" Commander Lu waved his hand and looked at the Japanese cars heading south, feeling reassured. Quite a few.
To the north, a team was trotting south, and the lights of cars five or six miles away were faintly visible.
Li Yong trotted in the middle of the team. These eight roads really don't make people worry. Can't you just stay in the mountains?
Ta-ta-ta...ta-ta-ta... The sudden sound of machine gunfire shook the moonlit night.
Bullets were whistling, and a barrage of machine gun bullets came arrogantly, with the sound of bullets entering flesh.
The security forces responded very quickly. As soon as the gun went off, many people immediately jumped into the ditch beside the road and stuck their heads directly into the hard soil on the roadside, with their mouths full of mud and some blood.
"There's an ambush!" a platoon leader shouted at the top of his lungs, pulled the bolt of his rifle and fired a shot at the place where the gun was fired.
No need to shout, even a fool knows there is an ambush.
"Fight back, fight back quickly!"
The sound of rifle shooting sounded rhythmically on the sides of the road. After five rounds of bullets, a bright bayonet shone coldly, forming a line from the smoke and suddenly appeared in the moonlit night beside the road.
The shouts of killing everywhere frightened the security forces, and some of them subconsciously pulled their rifles and shot at the approaching black figures.
More people couldn't bear to dig their heads into the soil. The lying team behind them got up and ran back.
