In the enemy-occupied areas under the sun, what was left after the war was nothing but devastation.
Endless desolation, depression, and vicissitudes of life.
Su Qing looked at the divisional intelligence officer who had successfully crossed the railway line in the distance, then looked back at Director Xu next to him: "You have done a good job!"
Director Xu's name is Xu Wenhan. He looks like an ordinary farmer in his forties, with a white cloth bun on his head and a dark face. From his appearance, it is impossible to tell that he is the new director of public security.
He was originally an intelligence officer assigned to the Public Security Team by the Intelligence Section of the headquarters. Externally, he was the captain of the Public Security Evacuation Team. He had been active in punishing rape and eradicating evil in enemy-occupied areas. After Zhang Yi's death, Minister Lin who inspected An County suggested that he should temporarily take over as Public Security Bureau. Bureau work and no formal appointment.
Director Xu pulled out his hands from his sleeves and looked at the village: "Working in the plains is actually not that difficult. After the Japanese came, they raided everywhere and slaughtered the people at will. Although the villagers felt aggrieved, no one made decisions for them! They spontaneously The organizations such as the Red Spear Club and the Quick Knife Club defend their homes against bandits, defeated soldiers, and traitors."
Su Qing looked at the railway going away: "It's just a pity that Huidaomen and bandits have become a climate!"
Director Xu shook his head: "Our Eighth Route Army originally did not have much foundation in the plains. The Japanese spies and traitors have been hunting down people on a large scale in recent years, and there is no way to conduct public activities. However, the common people on the plains saw that we were sincerely resisting Japan and supported us." We, but some pseudo-security chiefs, various guild presidents, and armed groups from different sects and gangs, have been violating us openly and secretly. This time our large army is here, and we can finally teach them a lesson..."
The monkey next to him curled his lips: "Let me tell you, Lao Xu, as long as we put the gun to his head, I don't believe those guys dare to say no to us!"
Xu Wenhan glared at the monkey and said helplessly: "I'm talking about business... Can you please stop making sarcastic remarks?"
When Hou Hou was in the county town, he met Director Xu, and the relationship between the two was pretty good: "What's wrong with you? Hey, who begged me to train militiamen for him?"
"Okay, I won't bullshit you. If you can't train the militia well, I want you to look good!"
"It's a small matter, isn't it just the militia? In half a month, I'm sure they can go to the battlefield!" After the monkey said it, he looked confident.
Su Qing shook her head. She knew very well that Hu Yi had stayed here specifically to protect her, and he was really good at it.
After a moment of silence, Su Qing turned around: "Go back to the village first!"
Director Xu put his hands into his sleeves again: "After passing the railway line, there is a divisional armed task force over there to respond. I have an idea, I hope you can approve it!"
Su Qing nodded lightly: "Go ahead!"
"When we go to the subdivision this time, can we bring some of the militiamen to go with the main force?"
Su Qing was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
"Aren't you worried that there are spies in the team? The people in the public security team are all well-tested and have rich experience in detecting spies. Besides, prisoners will always be captured on the battlefield. You can't let the main force educate you? Finally, right? The important thing is that compared with the main force, the combat effectiveness of our action team is... a bit too weak."
Su Qing thought for a while and immediately understood what Captain Xu meant: "Your idea is good, but I have to discuss it with the commander of the independent regiment."
Director Xu said sincerely: "I have no intention of placing anti-traitors in the independent regiment... It's just that no matter how well our action team has done in the fight against the enemy, without strong armed forces, even the Taoist sect's armed forces will not even Some landlords, rich people, and nursing homes look down on us. Our work is very difficult. My idea is to let the action team take the opportunity of this eastward march to go to the battlefield to practice. This opportunity... is really rare!"
Su Qing immediately agreed: "This should be no problem. You select some reliable comrades, lead some militiamen, and go to the subdivision with... Ma Liang. The remaining militiamen will be arranged by Monkey for military training!"
Director Xu was in a good mood: "I have another suggestion. We don't need to kill the Huidaomen armed forces with one shot. Many of them are still willing to resist Japan. As long as they can fight a few decent battles, they will definitely be willing to join our Eighth Route Army. ..”
Su Qing shook his head: "According to the requirements of superiors... we will start to streamline the army and streamline administration next month. The focus of the armed work team is to develop and expand the base areas in enemy-occupied areas. The immediate task is to solve the food problem of the people in the enemy-occupied base areas. As for the recruitment of Huidaomen If you are armed, I will report it to my superiors and follow the instructions of my superiors first."
Director Xu looked at Captain Su, who was one round younger than him, and was overjoyed: "That's great. Look, do you want to make a report to your superiors and bring all the downsized cadres from the mountain agencies to our work team? ?”
Su Qing was stunned. Refining troops and simplifying administration was mainly aimed at government agencies, but the work teams in enemy-occupied areas were short of manpower: "This is a good idea. I will apply to my superiors."
Director Xu was in a really good mood: "By the way, I have another suggestion. The current United Anti-Japanese Democratic Government's intrigues have actually become a showpiece! I think the United County Government should be bypassed and the Eighth Route Army Anti-Japanese Democratic Government should be established! As for funding, absolutely not Let the superiors spend a dime!"
The intelligence system of the Eighth Route Army on the plains is divided into two parts. One part is the local county government’s armed work team, which is mainly responsible for collecting intelligence on the enemy’s face, while the other part is the intelligence department directly under the headquarters, most of which arranges for senior intelligence officers to infiltrate the enemy’s interior. Both sides The tasks are not the same.
Combat troops in enemy-occupied areas are difficult to organize because there are traitors and spies everywhere in enemy-occupied areas. Most of them are dispersed and operate as guerrillas, county brigades, and district squads.
Some of them broke into the puppet army, and even dispersed in various places directly in the name of bandits. There were many blockades and artillery towers on the plain, making it very difficult to assemble.
The most active ones are mainly small units of the armed working teams, and the armed working teams usually operate separately. They have few people and go out day and night. They move easily and it is difficult for the enemy to track their whereabouts.
The Japanese are not fools either. They specially set up a night attack team to deal with the armed work teams!
A "security force" of more than a hundred people was stationed in a village not far from the railway.
In a broken courtyard in the village.
Ma Liang was sitting in the yard, holding a polished rifle horizontally. He pulled the bolt, and there was a crisp metal friction sound. There was no bullet in the magazine. He put the butt of the gun on his shoulder and aimed the gun at the distant roof. The crosshairs were left and right. move.
After a while, he handed the gun back to the soldier next to him who was blushing with excitement: "It's well maintained. The range of one hundred meters should not be too big."
The soldier was overjoyed and immediately showed off to the soldiers nearby.
From the corner of his eye, Ma Liang saw Monkey leading Su Qing and a strange face into the yard. He shook his sore arm and said to another soldier who was handing over a gun: "Let's get here today, and the rest of the guns will wait later." I’ll check again!”
When the soldiers saw Xu Xiao and the others entering the courtyard, those who knew them quickly saluted Su Qing and said hello, and then consciously dispersed to the side.
