Hu Yi, Gao Yidao, and Captain Yang all knew the map by heart.
Captain Yang looked worried: "...There is news from the east that there was something wrong with the division's operations there. The identity was exposed during the suppression of Huidaomen armed forces. Now the bandits must have confirmed the identity of our Eighth Route Army, so the plan will change. .”
Gao Yidao curled his lips: "We now have more people, guns, and bullets. After the bandits are defeated, they will definitely publicize that we are the national army. Even if they say that we are the Eighth Route Army, do you think the Japanese will believe it?"
Hu Yi looked calm: "Such a big operation cannot be hidden from the Japanese no matter what! This time it really depends on the reputation of your division!"
Wang Peng next to him was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
Captain Yang smiled self-deprecatingly: "Everyone knows that on the plains, our divisional troops...were not even as good as three guns and eight troops. Most of the troops were swords and spears. If such a strong team suddenly appeared, the bandits must think that we are It’s the National Army pretending to be the Eighth Route Army!”
Wang Peng hesitated for a moment: "We captured a lot last time, right?"
"Our subdivision has grown to more than 10,000 people. Where can we get so many guns?"
Wang Peng nodded: "No wonder the superiors want to streamline their troops and streamline their administration..."
Captain Yang shook his head: "Jian Shi, the superiors asked to streamline the non-combat troops' agency personnel, and our team still thinks there are not enough people..."
Gao Yidao looked serious: "You even have teenagers forming a children's league. Next time you have to organize a female army team..."
"Don't make sarcastic remarks here. You are making the people unable to organize themselves and making grapes sour."
Wang Peng pointed at the map: "...I think since we are laying an ambush, why didn't everyone dig trenches?"
Gao Yidao waved his hand proudly: "This time we pretend to be pigs and eat tigers to fight the bandits. Those things will collapse at the first touch. If we have to dig trenches even to fight the bandits, can we be called the main force?"
"How proud are you that you just became the acting battalion commander and your tail is flying high?" Wang Peng and Gao Yidao were not familiar with each other, but he knew Gao Yidao's temperament and wanted to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere.
Gao Yidao was very sensitive to the word "agent" and kept getting angry. This man named Wang wore a pair of trousers with Jiulian and immediately broke into each other: "You are the only one who can do it? You don't even urinate and take pictures of yourself. You follow him in every battle." You've been picking up bargains behind the Ninth Company. You've been the battalion commander for so long, how come you can only pull out one company, and you still have the face?"
Did this guy named Gao take gunpowder? Wang Peng was stunned.
Captain Yang was also confused. It seems that these people... have a close relationship!
After a brief consideration, I felt I had to relax a bit: "Then according to the original plan, Battalion Commander Hu will lead the Ninth Battalion to guard here, I will lead the work team to be responsible for intelligence, Battalion Commander Gao will be responsible for the west road, and Battalion Commander Wang will be responsible for the east road?"
Hu Yi glanced at Wang Peng: "Your camp actually only has one company, there are too few people, and you are not familiar with the situation here, so... you should stay in the village and wait for work, I will take people to the east."
There are now three battalion commanders here. In fact, only the ninth battalion can be considered to have strong soldiers and horses. Including Wu Yan's borrowed soldiers, there are almost three companies.
Except for the wounded soldiers, Gao Yidao's men only had one company to fight.
The strength of the Ninth Battalion was there, and Hu Yi had the title of staff officer, so no one objected.
Captain Yang nodded: "I agree with this arrangement. Even if there is an accident and the Japanese army gathers the security forces for a large-scale encirclement and suppression, we can move eastward."
Wang Peng really didn't know much about the situation on the plain, so he accepted Hu Yi's proposal.
Gao Yidao remained silent and did not express his opinion, but he did not object.
Wang Peng stood up and seriously stretched out his hand to shake Captain Yang, Hu Yi, and Gao Yidao: "I'm going to familiarize myself with the situation in the nearby villages first. If there are any changes in the plan, let the correspondent inform me!"
After saying that, he picked up the military cap on the table and put it on, saluting: "Take care!"
...
The bandits are about to leave the city.
At the gate of the county town, a group of half-grown children were holding paper flowers in preparation for farewell.
I heard that the Imperial Army liked this scene the most.
Wang Taigong was sitting on the city gate tower.
Wang Sanzhu rode in front of the team and shouted loudly to the team: "Listen up! The Eighth Route Army is grabbing our territory and clearly intending to cut off our livelihood. We have killed many of their people before. This time, we are going to fight. We must kill anyone who dares to take advantage of our territory. Are you confident?"
"Yes!" The team responded sparsely and unevenly.
Wang Sanzhu raised the hand holding the saber, intending to slash the neck of the rooster caught by his men next to him.
Maybe he used too much force and cut off the rooster's neck. The man was startled, but he didn't hesitate and quickly poured the chicken blood into the large wine vat next to him.
Wang Sanzhu waved his hand cheerfully: "Let's go!"
A group of people who were leaving the city went to the city gate to get a bowl of Zhuangxing wine. After drinking all the wine, they smashed the broken bowls and dishes in their hands on the ground, smashing them into pieces, and then walked out of the city.
Team after team, one after another, excitedly walked out from the gate tower into the spring sunshine.
Messy formations, messy dog-skin hats.
Weird outfits, all kinds of guns, big blades and red tassel guns.
The team meandered for two or three miles, coughing in the dust all the way south, with no end in sight and no end to the city behind.
After a long while, Commander Wang on the top of the city and his son Wang Sanzhu, who was walking behind the team, gave a few instructions and gave an order. The suspension bridge outside the city gate was retracted and the city gate was slowly closed.
Although the water in the moat has dried up long ago, we still have to guard against those who are trying to take the back route.
Wang Sanzhu, who was dressed in black silk and satin, was riding on a horse, looking towards the south with a calm face. He was asking the spy who had just arrived: "Uncle Qi, what is the latest situation?"
The seventh uncle, the spy, took a breath and said, "The team that attacked us didn't leave. It's still in the village. It's not like the Eighth Route Army."
Wang Sanzhu was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
Uncle Qi hesitated for a moment: "Everyone knows that in order to win people's hearts, the Eighth Route Army carried water and repaired houses as soon as they entered the village, but this group of people did nothing and were still demolishing the houses!"
Wang Sanzhu was a little confused: "You mean... maybe they are not the Eighth Route Army?"
Uncle Qi didn't dare to draw a conclusion: "You have to ask the young commander to make the decision, I'm not sure!"
Wang Sanzhu turned to look at the old bandit next to him: "Didn't you say you heard those people say... they are the Eighth Route Army?"
The old gangster next to him had been listening to the conversation between the two. When he saw Wang Sanzhu asking, he hesitated for a while: "That person did say that that night. This thing is a bit weird. Logically speaking, if it is really the Eighth Route Army, he must know our story." After all, you shouldn’t have stayed in that village!”
Uncle Zhongqi quickly added: "We also received news. I think this matter...may be related to that group of people."
Wang Sanzhu waved his hand: "Uncle Qi, don't be like mother-in-law and mother-in-law. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Uncle Qi quickly told him the information he had pieced together. In fact, most of it was his guess: "Our brothers in the night raid team sent news, saying that they discovered that the national army had sent a team to bypass the security forces for raids. The line has entered our territory, and the National Army and the Eighth Route Army have always been at odds with each other. I was wondering...if it was the National Army group that attacked us!"
"You mean...the National Army pretended to be the Eighth Route Army? How do you explain the Huangshahui incident?"
"It's very simple. The security forces are sweeping away the Eighth Route Army and the national army guerrillas on the plains. They are desperate. They may have taken advantage of the security forces' loopholes and ganged up to cross the security forces' sweep lines and come to our side."
Wang Sanzhu's face darkened: "You mean, maybe the Eighth Route Army and the National Army are getting involved again?"
The old bandit next to him shook his head: "If it's the national army, we have to weigh this matter carefully..."
Wang Sanzhu asked a little doubtfully: "Is it so complicated?"
The bandit spy thought for a moment: "Young master, this is not an easy matter. Think about it, the commander originally accepted the reorganization of the National Army, but later they were beaten away by the Imperial Army, so we had to surrender to the Imperial Army. In my opinion, the National Army Most likely, I received the news that you were out and wanted to risk your life to warn the commander!"
The old bandit was also undecided: "The number of troops who attacked us can be matched with the National Army guerrillas, but the National Army guerrillas always only take credit and don't fight..."
Wang Sanzhu suddenly remembered something: "Yang Guanyi led his men to over 3,000 people and defected to the Eighth Route Army. Could it be them?"
The old gangster was still frightened: "No way, how could they have such powerful skills? Besides...where did he get so many shell guns?"
Uncle Qi hesitated for a moment: "Then until this matter is clarified, should we hold off for a while?"
Wang Sanzhu immediately shook his head: "No, when the army travels, it must not be changed from morning to night! I don't care whether he is the Eighth Route Army or the National Army guerrillas. We now have the support of the imperial army. Since he dares to do the first grade to me, we can do the fifteenth. Besides, There are not many others, so we are just going to beat up those guys who have taken refuge with us. If anyone dares to go against the rules this time, I will kill them at any time!"
