A man dressed as a villager was brought to Ma Liang and the armed team members by soldiers on guard outside the village.
The villager-looking man asked directly: "When are you leaving?"
"I'll leave in a moment. How is the situation over there?"
"Wang Sanzhu's team is still gathering. There are not even a thousand but eight hundred people entering the city today."
"How is the situation in the fortress?"
"The Japanese have stepped up their vigilance, and all requests for leave have been cancelled. The situation is not good. The security forces in Tang County didn't know what was going on, so they sent a battalion of the security forces to Huang County when it was dark today."
"Is there any news about the eyes we installed in the turret?"
"No, I got the news when I delivered water to them in the afternoon. Starting from noon today, people in the blockhouse are strictly prohibited from going out."
"It's been a busy day during the day. You should rest first. Tomorrow, we will continue to inquire about the Taoist sect in the nearby village. The people we put in must be stable. According to the requirements of our superiors, starting from tomorrow, our main task is to fight against the ambush of the Wang Sanzhu bandits. Next, we will carry out the work of clearing out reactionary sects."
"I think if we do it under the eyes of the enemy, it will easily lead to another raid by the enemy. Maybe they will be detrimental to the villagers."
"Don't worry about this, your superiors have arrangements."
The man in black then greeted Ma Liang next to him: "Platoon Leader Ma, do you still remember me?"
Ma Liang was stunned for a moment: "Who are you?"
"Liu Baosheng, how come...you forgot so quickly?"
"Is it your boy? Aren't you the squad leader of Commander Cheng's security platoon? When did you join the work team?" Ma Liang suddenly thought about it: "Hey, I didn't expect to see you here."
Liu Baosheng stretched out his hand and held it tightly with Ma Liang: "The battle last time was really enjoyable. After you left, I was promoted to platoon leader, and then I was qualified to join the work team. Now we can fight the Japanese together. ”
"You two know each other?" The staff member next to him was stunned for a moment.
"Hey, I got this shell gun as a gift from Platoon Leader Ma..." Liu Baosheng proudly took out the shell gun and shook it: "Original goods!"
"I know this is an original product. You've shown it off eight hundred times." He was obviously envious.
Liu Baosheng bumped Ma Liang with his shoulder: "We are at the same level now, and we are both platoon leaders!"
The team member next to him said somewhat sourly: "Platoon Leader Ma has more than a hundred men under his command, and he can be promoted to company commander at any time. You are the same level..."
Ma Liang was stunned for a moment, this person has been uncooperative...
After thinking about it...he reached out and half-unzipped his backpack and pulled out a shell gun without a holster: "I'll give it to you, but I can only give you ten bullets!"
Under the moonlight, the blue light is completely different from the dark shell gun under the moonlight.
They are all good at recognizing goods.
"Hey, my name is Hong Sanxi. Just now... I really didn't mean to do it. The superiors have made big moves and they really asked us to act according to the plan." The team member felt itchy, but did not take the shot, feeling a little embarrassed.
Ma Liang put it directly into Hong Sanxi's hand: "It's okay. You are very resolute in carrying out orders from your superiors and adhere to your principles. Just take it."
"Hey, you're welcome." He took the gun and started playing with it.
Liu Baosheng smiled and said, "I think you will sleep with it in your arms these days."
Hong Sanxi immediately retorted: "It's not like someone who puts a gun in his crotch and covers it while sleeping, and is not afraid of breaking his eggs..."
Ma Liang frowned and estimated the time: "Should we go?"
Hong Sanxi raised his head: "Well, it's almost time to rest, but there's no need to rush. You guys can cross the ditch earlier than expected. Your independent group is worthy of being the bigfoot in the mountains. You can run fast. Wait for the people to come to the south. Come on, let’s cross the blocked ditch again, we have plenty of time.”
Ma Liang was stunned for a moment: "Is there anyone else available?"
"Of course, this area is not very peaceful, and people who know Taoism are not afraid. It's just that the devils snare a group of traitors from somewhere. They stay out day and night like us, and even pretend to be the Eighth Route Army. Let's wait until midnight before leaving. This bunch of bastards ...We have to get rid of them sooner or later.”
Liu Baosheng added next to him: "These guys are called night raiders. They hide in nearby gun towers to sleep during the day and come out at night. They appear and disappear. We caught their spies, but we have never been able to kill them."
Hong Sanxi inserted the gun into the waistband of his clothes: "Their teams are scattered, usually in groups of about ten people. Whenever there is any trouble, they will hide in the blockhouse. As far as we know, they also provide money and food to the Taoist people, so we It’s so difficult to recruit a Huidao Sect.”
Liu Baosheng said again: "This afternoon, the superiors also reported a situation. In addition to the night raid teams active in this area, the national army also sent several teams to fish in the troubled waters in the south."
Hong Sanxi curled her lips: "Isn't this our base? What are they doing here? Are they here to help us?"
"These bastards, they ran faster than rabbits when the Japanese and puppet troops raided them. After the puppet troops raided, they would run back to this village and hang out. They would find a few villagers in that village to sign their names and fingerprints, so that they could go back and claim their credit. ..”
Under the moonlight, Hong Sanxi's face looked a little ugly: "The situation is complicated. Those guys are generous, and some shameless women in some villages are even getting along with them."
Ma Liang was stunned again. This was the first time he had encountered this situation: the enemies he faced were Japanese, bandits, puppet troops, and night raiding parties. Although the national army was considered a friendly force, it was not friendly. There are good things and bad things, now they are all piled up together, and the situation is a bit complicated.
I thought that I could just wipe out the Huidaomen landlords in each village and be done with it... I took it for granted...
What is war and chaos?
It is much more difficult to fight guerrillas and develop base areas in the plains than in the mountains!
...
Captain Yang, who also received the news, was calling Hu Yigao for a meeting.
Captain Yang pointed at the map: "...As expected, the second batch of reinforcements from the Independent Regiment should have passed the blockade. They should be in this area now and will definitely arrive before dawn."
A meeting about this? As if it was unnecessary, Hu Yi was stunned for a moment: "Does the division have a combat plan?"
Captain Yang did not expect Hu Yi to ask this question: "No, in this counter-mopping up, the situation is changing day by day. The superiors have only one request for the reinforcements of the independent regiment: to clear out the reactionary gangs, bandits, and landlord armed forces in this area!"
Gao Yidao, who had just gotten up, yawned: "You mean we can make our own decisions?"
"The superiors have no hard and fast rules for our work team and independent regiment. We don't have many people. There is no problem in continuing to operate in this area under the name of the Black Tiger Army or the Allied Army."
Gao Yidao said: "I think it might be better to pretend to be a bandit. In this way, bandits fight bandits, and it is less likely to attract the attention of the Japanese."
Captain Yang smiled: "There is no problem in pretending to be the Allied Autonomous Army. The Allied Autonomous Army was originally Wang Tianxiang's group of bandits who gathered together with Cheng Daosheng, and then asked the Japanese for their numbers. To put it bluntly, as long as there is a fight, it will be internal strife among the bandits, and the Japanese will not I’m not in the mood to worry about the bandits’ internal strife.”
Hu Yi nodded: "In other words, we can't reveal our identity as the Eighth Route Army?"
"Yes, this matter is still going according to the original plan!"
Gao Yidao yawned again: "Why did you call us here in the middle of the night?"
Captain Yang's expression suddenly became a little unhappy: "The division also reported something. The division's New Fourth Route Army has reached an agreement with Chairman Yang Yiguan of the Communist Party. More than 3,000 of his men will accept our adaptation, and they may be divided into one group. When people come to our team, you must be prepared."
"Why are you so black-faced?" Gao Yidao was stunned for a moment: "Are you sending us troops? Or are you someone who knows how to deal with Taoism?"
"The political commissar also gave special instructions to collect the IOU from Comrade Chang Hongying." At this point, Captain Yang slapped his thigh: "I really lost my grandma's house today...I lost a deputy captain in vain..."
Hu Yi also yawned: "If there is nothing else, I will go back and sleep for a while."
"One more thing. The national army sent a small group of troops to invade our area from the south..."
