It's cold in spring, and there are cold stars in the dark night.
Hu Yi sat in the dark wrapped in a marching blanket, tilting his head to look at the little girl in the tent next to him. The marching blanket was tightly wrapped.
The little girl suddenly became quiet in the past few days, which really surprised him. Maybe... there were too many strangers in the team, and Minister Zhang was too comfortable here.
With Luo Fugui around, the little girl's tent during the march was absolutely indispensable. Amidst the howling of the cold wind, the sound of breathing made Hu Yi feel particularly calm.
Life has been quite "regular" these days. The muscle soreness caused by continuous marching has long since subsided, leaving only the cold wind that hits my face and bones.
Quietly looking at the village in the distance.
Puppet army sweep...
Thinking back carefully, there were countless bullets fired from his gun. Some of them may be embedded in the broken walls of the Great Wall, and some may be lying at the bottom of the Songhu River. There are also traces of those elves in the mountains, deep valleys and plains. .
The situation seems to have changed slightly. It is no longer shifting, shifting again, retreating, retreating again...
Once the tense nerves relax, they will naturally start thinking wildly, thinking about black mountains and white waters, and those figures that keep disappearing around them.
The more I want to forget and drive those people away from my mind, the more those figures flood into my mind.
My thoughts began to wander to Jiangnan. That woman should still be writing something now...
The hills are still these hills, and there are faint sounds coming from the villages in the distance.
I don't know when, the wind suddenly stopped.
Ma Liang, Dagou, and Kuaiji were crawling in the wasteland. The flickering cigarette butts in front of them showed that the puppet soldiers did not take the sentry seriously at all.
Ma Liang lowered his voice and asked Tiedan: "Hey, you were scouting around the village just now, how come you weren't discovered by the secret whistle?"
"We have already obtained their passwords!" Tiedan replied proudly: "Besides, the people surrounding the village at this time must think that I am also a puppet soldier..."
"Why don't we just climb up and just say we're on guard duty?"
"That's right...why didn't you tell me earlier..."
Passwords are not actually the most important means of distinguishing friendly forces. What is really important is documents, or asking some questions that both parties should know but the enemy does not.
Behind enemy lines, if the command lines are really mismatched, the puppet troops will not fire easily. If... there is an accidental attack, then whose fault will it be?
If the person cannot answer the question, the sentry will definitely pull the bolt and point the gun at the person, asking him to put down his weapon and undergo inspection to verify his identity.
The use of passwords is mostly used behind the battle line, in troop camps or in rear guard areas. There is no need for this on the front line. You can fire directly if you find any trouble.
However, unified passwords during large-scale operations are actually easier to leak. The enemy can probably ask them out as long as they grab their tongues and threaten their lives.
The puppet army's passwords are definitely not very complicated, and it is impossible to change them every day, because it is entirely possible that they...can't remember them.
Of course, the puppet troops will not be able to execute any orders. Whether they fire or not depends on the mood of the sentry.
After a while, the two puppet sentries were buried in the ditch.
on the hill.
While Hu Yi was still watching the village wandering away, a sound of footsteps approached hurriedly.
"elder brother...."
"What's going on?" Hu Yi didn't speak out until Ma Liang stood in front of him and came back to his senses.
Ma Liang repeated: "The news from the inside is that there is a company of puppet troops in the village... They are the subordinates of the battalion commander Wang of Xinglong Town. They are divided into eight or nine squads during the day and spread out for raids. At night, they are gathered nearby. They are stationed in the village and have hidden sentries at every intersection.”
"Can we get there?" Hu Yi thought it would be best to hurry up in the dark and either find Captain Lu or go back to the security group directly...
The narrow eyes under Hu Yi's thick eyebrows returned to calmness. He was a former ally, an old rival who had fought twice with the Nine Company after they surrendered to the enemy.
Hu Yi pulled open the marching blanket and pulled out the map. Luo Fugui next to him immediately unscrewed the flashlight that covered part of the light with a cloth.
It is sixty miles away from Xinglong Town in the north, with mountains in the west, and hills extending from the Taihang Mountains to the plains in the east. Most of them are still hills, and the plains are hundreds of miles away.
Not long after, a burst of footsteps came in a hurry. Hu Yi turned his attention back to the direction of the village. Before he got close, the man spoke first: "Captain Hu, you guys came back really fast."
Hu Yi looked at the people under the moonlight. Wu Yan was at the front, followed by more than a dozen people.
In the past... I rarely fought alongside Wu Yan, but the First Company once arranged a team to support the Ninth Company.
Hu Yi said with a serious smile: "Why are you here?"
"The Japanese and the puppet troops are carrying out large-scale sweeps in the occupied areas and implementing the public security cleanup plan. It is estimated that after this is over, they will lead the puppet troops to sweep into the mountains. We have received news that you are coming back today. The regiment leader is afraid of you. If something goes wrong, we specially arranged for us to come over and respond." Wu Yan sat down in the darkness.
Hu Yi was stunned for a moment, comb? This word has some meaning. Common people use combs to comb their hair, and a comb is a tool used to deal with lice. It is similar to a comb, except that the teeth are finer and denser. Once the comb is passed through the hair, even the lice hidden in the hair will be removed. Even smaller lice eggs can be scraped out! He frowned slightly: "You mean...the Japanese are just sweeping the plains now? They haven't entered the mountains..."
Wu Yan took a breath and said, "Yes, the intelligence department did a good job this time. They received the news in advance and were relatively well prepared. The division also made timely arrangements for the enemy's raids."
"I heard Tiedan said that the group leader also came out?"
Wu Yan replied unhurriedly, "Gao Yidao plans to recruit the Xinglong Town Security Army... The head of the group came out together with people from the intelligence department of the headquarters."
"Headquarters intelligence personnel?" Hu Yi paused and shook his head: "I think... renting our independent regiment to incorporate the security army... are you taking it too much for granted?"
Wu Yan asked: "What do you mean?"
"Recruiting the security forces...do you think it's possible?"
"Didn't your Ninth Company recruit a lot of puppet troops? Why, you have other opinions."
Hu Yi thought for a while: "Battle Commander Wang of the puppet army in Xinglong Town is not a good person. If we can get rid of him, it will be okay to recruit those security forces."
"An order came from the division, and our friendly forces also sent people to prepare to rebel against Battalion Commander Wang in Xinglong Town. This matter... is far more complicated than you think."
"Since friendly forces are instigating rebellion, why do we still have to go into this muddy water?"
"Our internal positions should not be low, so we received intelligence that the friendly forces' instigation to rebel against the security forces is not to make them rebel, but to make them stay with the Japanese and continue to deal with our Eighth Route Army. Do you understand?"
Hu Yi was stunned. This was almost exactly the same as the situation when he learned from Minister Zhang that the newly formed Fifth Army might surrender to the enemy.
I have a bit of a toothache. I really don’t know if the man from Chongqing has a brain injury or something. Now he is fighting to the death with the Japs. The Japs are the enemies of life and death, but this man never forgets to fight in the nest!
He even reached a tacit agreement with the Japanese to join forces to deceive his family.
A feeling of disgust towards the man from Chongqing suddenly rose from the bottom of my heart, almost as if I had eaten a fly, and even the fly had just crawled over a pile of steaming shit.
"You...what are your plans?"
"The enemy did not implement the three-guang policy in this sweep. The order from the superiors was to wait for an opportunity to destroy the enemy's stubborn conspiracy, so this time many people from our regiment came out... The scale of the puppet army's sweep this time is large, and the force organization is in place. We can't find them for the time being. When the opportunity comes to attack the ambush of the security forces, the regiment leader said that if it doesn't work, he will attack Wang's lair first like last time." After Wu Yan finished speaking, he looked at Hu Yi under the moonlight, and he just followed the order. , but I hope that Hu Yi, the leader of the puppet army camp in front of me, will have opinions.
Hu Yi was stunned after hearing this. After the security forces pulled out, the lair was indeed empty. However, before he attacked the Hekou camp and even touched the security barracks in Xinglong Town, there were accidental factors. The security forces were not fools. How could they be attacked by the Eighth Route Army? Opportunity?
It was at the time of a large-scale sweep by the puppet troops, and the enemy-occupied areas were full of puppet troops sweeping up. The timing was different, and the environment was even different. If it was true that the security forces were carrying out sweeps as Wu Yan said, then once the enemy discovered their whereabouts and the battle started, Nearby enemies can form a siege at any time, and if not, you will be surrounded by enemies, with almost no room to turn around!
Thinking of this, Hu Yi sighed lightly: "I don't think it's appropriate to attack the security army now. The enemy has brought out a large number of people. They are making such a big move in the plain occupied area. How much can they do to strengthen security or eliminate security?" Function? So, I think their raids are just a pretense. Since the intelligence says it is a puppet army training, then... the next step may be the highlight. Their ultimate goal is to use the security forces to go into the mountains and raid the mountains!"
Wu Yan was stunned, and suddenly realized that something was not in line with Hu Yi's thinking rhythm. Hu Yi was not paying attention to the situation in front of him. He could see the enemy's long-term plan from just sweeping the occupied area. This was indeed a great skill.
Could it be that I really learned so many things when I went to Kangda University? Inadvertently, he accepted Hu Yi's view from his heart, and immediately said seriously: "I will immediately arrange for a correspondent to report your analysis to the group leader!"
Closing the tent, eyes dim with sleep.
The backs of more than 20 young people with swaying steps trotted around the village and headed north, running in the darkness.
Several secret sentries set up by the puppet army in the wild have been buried in the soil at this time.
