It's quiet at night.
Sun Youshang looked at the troop deployment order in his hand and looked at Zhang Yi who was getting up with his clothes on: "The commander of the county security army, Wang Jingchang, sent a letter and said that we should send a hundred people to participate in the sweep. What kind of fun is this? "
Director Zhang took it, glanced at it, and sneered: "The enemy must have a conspiracy. Last time we sent people to raid with the Japanese and were attacked by Guo Qing. This time we absolutely cannot agree. Besides, there is no need for us to listen to his security forces' orders." .”
Sun Youshang hesitated: "But Commander Wang said that we must go at least a hundred times. If we don't go...will the enemy be suspicious?"
Director Zhang thought for a while: "What do you suspect? Just say that we are organizing people to dig ditches these days, right?"
Sun Youshang shook his head: "Who would believe it when we talk about digging ditches in this winter?"
Director Zhang was speechless: "That's what I said. You can just find any excuse, just say that your wife has a baby and you can't leave."
Captain Sun Da subconsciously replied: "I don't have a wife yet!"
Director Zhang....
"Report!" A correspondent from the Ninth Company quickly ran into the headquarters.
"What's up?"
"We received news that the Meixian Security Army will raid several villages in the south. When I arrived, instructor Qin and Captain Meng were arranging for the villagers to move to the northwest..."
Director Zhang was stunned for a moment, then stood up: "Security army raid? Is the news reliable?"
Before the soldier could finish his words, he had to answer first: "The news from the inside is absolutely reliable."
Sun Youshang stood up: "How come the raids started not long after the Chinese New Year? This is not normal."
Director Zhang thought for a while: "Could it be related to Wang Jingchang's troop deployment?"
"Eighty percent related!" After Sun Youshang finished speaking, he paused and quickly asked: "By the way, is there any news from the city?"
Director Zhang shook his head: "We will definitely get news of a large-scale Japanese attack, unless it is a small-scale raid."
The correspondent next to him quickly added: "Yes, it's the Meixian Japs testing the training results of the security forces."
Zhang Yi was angry: "Your mother sent a message, why did she divide it into several paragraphs?"
"You interrupted me before I finished speaking!"
"Then finish your sentence quickly!"
"Instructor Qin said that some people will enter the security group's defense area and asked you to prepare..."
"anything else?"
"No, that's all he said."
Zhang Yi had a black line on his head: "Get out."
Commander Sun greeted quickly: "Hey, don't get out of here and go to the kitchen to get something to eat."
Zhang Yi slapped the table: "You dare to raid with the security forces? This is fucking insulting!"
Sun Youshang immediately made a decision: "Don't say so much, we have to make arrangements to receive the people quickly."
Director Zhang immediately objected: "Wait a minute, the situation is complicated now. There must be spies among the refugees. If ordinary people rashly enter our defense area, if the Japanese enemies find out about this, the consequences... will be very troublesome."
"Our Water Conservancy Protection Corps? Aren't we supposed to protect the common people?"
There was another sound of running footsteps outside the door.
A public security team correspondent rushed in and saluted, and immediately gasped: "Director, something bad is going on. A large number of puppet troops have gathered and will sweep westward tomorrow. Old Zhou and Director Su asked me to come back and report the situation first."
Director Zhang was speechless: "You're so panicked, aren't we just puppet troops now?"
The public security soldier was stunned for a moment and scratched his head: "That's right..."
"Have you figured out the area swept by the puppet troops?"
"The entire plain is being combed and swept in different areas. They are talking about this year's No. 1 public security clearing operation plan."
Sun Youshang immediately turned around and called the security guard outside the house: "Get ready, rush back with the correspondent later, find Lao Qin, and ask him to take the refugees to the southwest mountainous area."
"Yes." The correspondent said and turned around and walked out the door.
Director Zhang did not object anymore and looked at the map carefully: "These puppet soldiers are actually restless. I just took the opportunity to kill Ma Da Bangzi."
"We should deal with the enemy's raids now, right? Besides, you dare to take action without the consent of the county government?"
"Although we have different names to the outside world, we are all members of an independent regiment. Suppressing bandits is our mission. Who cares what the county government does?"
"Since you said so, that's fine. Let Tian Sanqi lead people to go with your public security team to suppress Ma Da Bangzi!"
"Commander Sun, you are so interesting. You didn't find a chance to kill him last time, Ma Da Bangzi. You won't let him go this time."
"You have to be careful that we cannot openly disobey the orders of the democratic county government. I suggest that you go there this time and end up pretending to be puppet troops to do it in the name of internal strife."
"Okay, in that case, Wang Jingchang wants us to participate in the mopping up. You don't want to stay here all day long. We also need to recruit a reliable team to penetrate the enemy's interior and mop up."
Sun Youshang hesitated: "Last time we did such a big thing in Huaxian County, will the enemy take the opportunity to attack us?"
"Last year the enemy sent Guo Qing to test us. As long as the team that went out last time was wiped out while defending the city, who can know the truth of the matter?"
"I'm worried that the Japanese Special High School will find out."
"The war in the south is about to break out. I heard from Company Commander Hu that the enemies who knew about it have already been dealt with by the division. Who can find out?"
...
At five o'clock in the morning, the earth was still dark.
Lao Meng, who had not slept all night, immediately shook his head after hearing Zhang Yi's plan: "How can you explain to the county government if you only bring so many people?"
"I'll explain to him that Tian Sanqi and the others are right behind and will probably arrive after dawn. I'll ask them to find a place in the north to hide first."
Lao Meng was confused. Unexpectedly, Director Zhang pulled all the main force of the Ninth Company over this time. He yawned, took out a cigarette, struck a match and lit it: "Do you want one?"
Zhang Yi suggested: "I think, how about we start in the village where Lao Qin and the others just left this time?"
"Brother, I heard that the Meixian Security Army is coming to a battalion. To the east is the enemy-occupied area to block the ditch. When we fight guerrillas, we have to rely on two legs to run fast. It's impossible to stay here!"
"There are enemy spies everywhere. Running back and forth on the plain, sooner or later the enemy will have to figure out their movements. Most of the enemy's input this time is the security force. You are afraid of nothing."
"You can't say that. We have to understand the enemy's movements, know ourselves and the enemy, and we must not let the enemy figure out our movements."
"Hehe, if they come to raid us, let's go to the provincial capital to cause trouble. How fun do you think this would be?"
Captain Meng was stunned: "You dare to go to the provincial capital with such a small number of people? All the people who came out this time were security forces. All the Japs stayed in the city to watch the fun. I won't play with you."
"Let's operate on the edge of the enemy-occupied area, kill Ma Da Bangzi's group, and then rob them of their food!"
In fact, Zhang Yi was a little hesitant. Due to the serious famine, statistics showed that thousands of people had starved to death in several nearby counties!
In the lair of the bandits, Ma Da Bangzi gathered a large amount of food stolen in the past two years, and took this opportunity to kill them. Who knows how many people can be saved with that food!
This time most of them followed the Japanese out, just in time to attack his lair.
However, the county democratic government has made it clear that it wants to incorporate the bandits.
The evidence collected by the Public Security Bureau that bandits were killing people was actually considered insufficient by the Kuomintang people in the county government and said they would wait until they investigated before making a decision.
Food has become a hurdle that Zhang Yi cannot overcome!
