A middle-aged man with patches on his shoulders and arms led a group of militiamen in front of the scout.
With a stern look on his face: "You can't go further north in the middle of the night..."
The scout was not polite at all: "If you can't, you can't. How can there be so many reasons?"
The middle-aged man looked tired: "A large number of unidentified people appeared in the mountains..."
Afterwards, Hu Yi, who was following, was stunned for a moment: "Why do you stop us?"
The middle-aged man had long seen this long team carrying stretchers and carrying boxes: "This is the rule of the superiors, no one can violate it!"
The militia captain accompanying the Ninth Battalion squeezed to the front and stared wide-eyed: "He Dawu, you don't recognize me anymore? After the meeting in the district last year, we sat on the same stool while eating..."
He Dawu looked at the captain of the team with some confusion. After a while, he recognized it and still shook his head: "It turns out to be the third son of the Qiao family. Listen to me, the enemy's raid this time is different from before. The Japanese sent spies to go into the mountain to inquire about news. The Japanese army is behind us, and even my biological father cannot go north without a letter of introduction and road instructions..."
"What happened?"
He Dawu hesitated for a moment: "After dark yesterday, we found many fleeing refugees, students, and many businessmen entering the mountains from the west..."
"What's wrong with these people?"
"Their good citizen certificates are very old and don't look like they were newly made, and they even have letters of introduction, but there are no road signs! After being stopped by us, some people disappeared... According to preliminary judgment, these people are likely to be The spies arranged by the Japanese..."
Hu Yi was stunned for a moment: "I am the commander of the ninth battalion of the Independent Regiment. I have something urgent to go to the division headquarters..."
The middle-aged man shook his head: "You don't have a letter of introduction or a route, so I can't let you go..."
Qiao Laosan was a little angry: "You have no right to do this..."
He Dawu was a little impatient: "Don't be nagging me. The Japanese and puppet troops are dividing into multiple groups and encircling the division headquarters. The various agencies have begun to move. You can't find anyone in the past now. Don't cause trouble at this time." .”
Hu Yi finally realized that he could go to the division headquarters alone before, but now because of the advancing team, the division has strengthened its peripheral defense, which should be considered a good thing.
Thinking of this, he said directly: "Then can you help send a batch of ammunition to the division?"
He Dawu immediately became vigilant: "Ammunition? There is an arsenal at the division headquarters. Will you be short of ammunition?"
"We have 50,000 rounds of ammunition here and they need to be sent to the division headquarters."
"One hundred thousand rounds won't work...what did you say...50,000 rounds?"
I really thought that this person was not interested in bullets and was a little vain. Hu Yi nodded: "Yes, about 50,000..."
"That... still won't work. We don't have enough manpower to guard such a large area of barren mountains. To be honest with you, the inspection near the division headquarters is even stricter, and we can't get through it!" He Dawu rubbed his hands: "Bullets, you guys It’s better to keep it first, if you have more... you can lend us some..."
Qiao Laosan was angry: "He, are you deliberately blocking us from letting us pass? Mother, you'd better not come to our side in the future, otherwise I won't be able to drink a sip of water from you!"
"Qiao Laosan, if the King of Heaven comes today, don't even think about going there. Besides, I won't go to your mother's place even if you beat me to death..."
When the two were bickering, a militiaman ran over under the moonlight: "Report to Deputy District Chief He, there is an urgent order from the superiors, asking our department to immediately organize a militia and secretly march south to Lingchuan..."
He Dawu was dumbfounded. These militiamen under his command are really ignorant. There are outsiders here. Why do you say everything?
Qiao Laosan, who was next to Hu Yi, had a bright expression on his face: "Hey, hey, who's surname is He? Are you going south this time? If you don't have a letter of introduction and directions, don't even think about it..."
Hu Yi was not interested in listening to these two nonsense, so he directly pulled out the map.
The Japanese encircled and suppressed the division headquarters. It was convenient and fast to directly take the Shewu Highway to attack. The division deployed heavy troops on this road.
At least one brigade was scattered along this road, and together with the militiamen from the villages near the road, there were at least tens of thousands of young and old men guarding this road day and night.
The roads are so densely mined that the best way to go is impassable.
Mopping up is not about committing suicide, and little devils will rarely take this path.
Therefore, the situation of the raids was basically the same as last year. The Japanese still took detours from the mountainous areas and quickly penetrated!
The current location is nearly fifty miles away from the division headquarters. If we turn directly to the east, we can go directly back to Dabeizhuang.
If what He Dawu said is true, then it is not unexpected that the Japanese would send a large number of spies into the mountain before the raid.
In the eastern independent regiment defense area, Captain Lu and the political commissar led a company to guard the gate of the mountain. The spies disguised as students and refugees should not be able to pass the independent regiment.
It is more likely that the Japanese will attack by force.
The defense area around Niujia Village of the supplementary regiment in the north is unlikely to be broken through by the enemy, because outside the Niujia Village mountain is one of the base areas developed by the Ninth Battalion on the plains!
If the Japanese want to go west into the mountains, there is another way: passing through the Sun Youshang Water Conservancy Protection Corps defense area.
The area south of Sun Youshang was Lao Qin's base for resettling refugees.
The refugees were a mixed bag, and with that woman's ability, even if the Japanese planted spies in the Jiuying base area, they wouldn't be able to make any trouble.
Hu Yi was a bit confused and seemed to be trapped in some kind of vortex.
The political commissar of the regiment has a far-sighted vision. There are more than ten intelligence, political, staff and other units under the division headquarters. He seems to have too much to worry about!
there is always a solution to a problem.
I am only a battalion commander, and I just mentioned it.
Anti-Japanese University will officially start school in two days. It is forbidden to enter the mountains at this time. The superiors will definitely take this into consideration. There must be other reasons. Most of them do not want students to get into the Japanese encirclement!
After thinking about this, Hu Yi felt relieved a lot.
He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, then turned his head and said, "I mean, you two, can you stop for a moment?"
...
Tubal Road is indeed too insidious!
The black-faced Japs Major thought so in his heart.
Those ordinary people who were called militiamen by the Eighth Route Army actually planted landmines on the roads, dry river ditches, and mountain trails.
In the village, beside the doorframe, beside the well, under the bucket, in the chicken coop, in the field, on the edge of the field...
Mines may appear wherever the imperial army may pass.
The Imperial Army's engineers cleared mines day and night. In many cases, after finding the mines, they did not even have time to remove them. They detonated them directly without clearing them. They painted "mines are there" marks everywhere with white ash, making everything a "danger zone".
The key is that in many places there are no landmines at all!
Mines are laid for both true and false. Japanese troops in "mopping up"...
Watching helplessly, a group of Eighth Route Army disappeared into the moonlit valley again.
The disgraced arsonist had to stop his progress.
The traitor of the reconnaissance team stood outside the gun tower and looked at the puppet troops carrying the wounded: "Where are the prisoners you are escorting?"
Sun Youshang handed over a cigarette: "I jumped off a cliff and died..."
The traitor raised his thumb: "You are really cruel..."
"Haha, thank you for your hard work. The mountains are full of poor people who can't get anything..."
"I heard that this time, the Eighth Route Army ran very fast in the mountains, and the imperial army didn't find the main force of the Eighth Route Army at all?"
"There is still a shitty main force in the Eighth Route Army. These princes are all left to you. There are a few seriously injured people who must be sent to the county hospital overnight..."
"Don't worry, I'll send them back at dawn tomorrow."
"You take care of it, we still have to go into the mountain..."
Sun Youshang turned around with his team and walked into the mountains again.
The seriously injured Imperial Army kept moaning and even yelling.
The squad leader of the detective team had a grim look on his face and quickly arranged for his traitors to drive the civilians into driving carts.
If a wounded member of the imperial army died in his own hands, it would be a big problem.
Pu Buhuan lay on the cart, moaning in bird language: "These turrets...sooner or later they will fall into our hands!"
The fake wounded man on the stretcher replied with a bird's call: "When we get to the county seat, I'll treat everyone to a full meal..."
