The Eighth Route Army Headquarters and the Southern Division Headquarters were cleared again, and the sweep was coming to an end.
Although there are still remnants of the Eighth Route Army in the mountains, they move around with the villagers relying on their familiarity with the terrain.
But the cost of the imperial army's raids was not low, and eating and drinking was a big problem.
The villagers deep in the mountains are so poor that each family only has one pair of pants, which they wear when they go out.
In addition, the Eighth Route Army relocated the villagers in advance, so no food was obtained at all during this raid.
I didn't get anything valuable.
The Japanese and puppet troops looted, burned, and killed all the villages deep in the mountains, and then slowly began to retreat out of the mountains.
The number of trains carrying supplies into the mountains subsequently decreased.
Injured, sick, snake-bitten casualties
Eighth Route Army captured by the Japanese.
Suspects arrested by the detective team
They would be escorted out of the mountain by Japanese and puppet troops at a fixed time every day.
The Ninth Battalion had little chance of an ambush.
There are scattered forests in the hilly areas at the foot of the mountain!
The landform is different from that in the mountains.
The tall pine tree is probably too big for even one person to hold.
If there were a few more iron birch trees, the environment would be like black mountains and white waters.
Hu Yi was lying on the ridge, feeling a little dazed.
To make a detailed ambush plan, you must choose a suitable ambush point on the enemy's route.
Then make arrangements based on the specific terrain conditions of the ambush point.
Withdrawing his mind, Hu Yi held up the telescope and began to observe, and then marked it on the map.
Behind him, Li Heshui, full of grief and anger, was crying to Old Bandit Qi.
Old Bandit Qi became impatient: "You're a big man, you're crying your ass off."
Li Heshui wiped away his tears: "The Japanese and puppet troops killed everyone they saw in the mountains and burned down the houses they saw. They captured our comrades and ordinary people, tied them up and sent them to build artillery towers. If they resisted at all, they would be stabbed by Japanese bayonets. The wolves and dogs bite until they finally die of exhaustion.”
Looking at the long line of people from the people's association at the bottom of the mountain, Luo Fugui beside him shook his head: "I said, where did the Japanese find so many people?"
"They are good citizens. They are guaranteed by the village maintenance association. After they go out to work, they have to build roads. They are all free labor for the little devils."
Qi Lao Qi asked casually: "Why don't they resist?"
Li Heshui shook his head: "The traitors are threatening his family, how can he resist?"
"Didn't I hear that there are many people who have escaped from the east?"
"The women were snatched away and humiliated by the Japanese, and the men were tricked into building the artillery towers by the little devils on the pretext that they would have food to eat, until they died of exhaustion and were thrown into mass graves."
As long as he talks about eating, Luo Fugui, who has starved to death, will become the same enemy: "Grandma, don't they know how to run away?"
"There are Japanese and puppet troops everywhere, where can they run?"
"Doesn't the national army still have a government-in-exile?" Qi Lao Qi had stayed in enemy-occupied areas for a long time and knew a lot about the situation.
Li Heshui became angry: "When the Japanese came, they ran faster than anyone else."
Luo Fugui's ugly eyes rolled: "If you don't run, you will die. Only fools don't run."
In the valley.
Captain Qin is temporarily training the sacrifice alliance led by Li Heshui.
Almost all the members of the Sacrifice League are skilled in the Three-legged Cat Kung Fu.
"This is the left. You kid can't even tell the difference between left and right? Get out of the queue and go to the logistics class." "Give me a chance." "We'll talk about it after we finish this battle."
"I'm a very fast runner." "Go to the reconnaissance squad."
"Report, I can throw stones halfway up the mountain." "You can really blow." "I mean throwing them down from the mountain." "That's not bad, go to the artillery squad."
"I have great strength." "Go to the logistics class."
"I know how to shoot an arrow, and I can penetrate a poplar with ten steps" "Reconnaissance Class"
"I can cook." "Cooking class"
"I am literate." "Communication class"
"I can farm." "Engineer Class"
"I can open any lock" "Reconnaissance Class"
"I am a gelding." "Hygiene Class"
The platoon leader trainees led by Captain Qin are very experienced in this kind of training.
The students directly became class leaders, and those with special skills were directly selected into the corresponding classes.
More than a hundred people were divided into more than ten classes, each forming a circle.
Squad leader A: "Even if we are a group of sheep, we must bravely pierce the enemy's belly with the horns on our heads."
Squad Leader B: "What you are holding is not a fire stick, but a weapon that can kill enemies and defend your homeland."
C: "The little devil has one head and two legs. He is no different from us."
Ding: "Don't be afraid on the battlefield. The more afraid you are, the more bullets will be focused on you."
"Report to the squad leader, I don't have a gun." The member next to him muttered: "When I die, pick up the gun and put it on me."
Captain Qin blew the whistle.
The squad leaders immediately shouted: "Everyone gather!"
The team moved very quickly, but the formation was messy and looked awkward.
The squad leader corrected it one by one, but it was still a mess.
Scratching the neck, scratching the hook to twist the nose, spitting, and making a buzzing cough.
Captain Qin didn't care. The recruits were all like this and started talking: "The little devil killed my parents and humiliated my sisters. The puppet army burned my house and robbed my food. What should we do?"
"Kill the little devils, kill the puppet soldiers," the squad leader took the lead in shouting
Chaotic sounds follow
"We have guns in our hands, not fire sticks. We want to avenge the villagers!"
Revenge for the folks Revenge for the folks
Captain Qin was very satisfied and gave the order: "Target mountain ridge. The latest lunch will have no broth."
"Why are you running so fast? We need the whole class to act together."
"Pay attention to the formation."
They had just had a full meal, and those who were included in the reconnaissance squad ran really fast, leaving behind the team behind them by a long distance.
On the mountain ridge.
Luo Fugui looked at Li Heshui: "Hey, how far is the nearest village?"
"When we go down the mountain, there are villages near the woods in the distance."
"Why didn't you hear the rooster crow?"
"Didn't I tell you? Friendly troops defected to the enemy, and the Japanese and puppet troops entered the village to plunder. They arrested people everywhere to build forts, and all the chickens were robbed by the puppet troops."
"Where is the nearest turret?"
The dozen or so people from the cooking class who finally went up the mountain dropped their lunch boxes on the ground in dejection.
Old bandit Qi directly picked up three lunch boxes and threw one to Hu Yi and the other to Xiao Hongying next to Hu Yi.
Opening the remaining lunch box and pouring porridge into his mouth: "It would be nice to make this place a copycat."
Hu Yi glared at him.
Old Bandit Qi sneered: "Just talking."
Xiao Hongying, who was holding a telescope next to her, suddenly muttered: "Hey, there seems to be someone on the ridge over there."
Old Bandit Qi was stunned for a moment, then quickly put down his lunch box and lay on the ground holding up his binoculars.
In the distance, a group of puppet troops entering the mountain loomed.
A large group of men in black were walking on the ridge on the south side.
Hu Yi called Li Heshui and pointed at the map: "Why didn't we meet these people when we were in the mountains?"
Li Heshui wiped away his tears and explained: "They only went to fixed supply points and did not enter the deep mountains."
Hu Yi continued to ask: "Where is their nearest supply point?"
Li Heshui pointed at the map: "It should be in this area. According to our insider, follow the valley to the north for about ten miles to the east."
"Where was the last time you had an ambush?"
"Liyi from Changzhi to Lingchuan County in the north."
Captain Qin, who had just come up, held up his beloved Cao Changjing with both hands, moved close to Hu Yi, and muttered: "It seems that the enemy has learned how to arrange people to stand sentry along the way?"
Li Heshui turned around and said, "It's a patrol team newly established by the Japanese. The puppet army is not stupid. We rely on the villagers to keep sentries. The enemy follows their example. They come out during the day and go back at night."
"Grandma's little devils have come up with so many names of traitors, including detectives, patrols, and night raids, I can hardly remember them all," Luo Fugui, who was lying on the ground next to him and looking at the sky, murmured to himself.
The old bandit Qi suggested to Hu Yi: "Let's disguise ourselves as Japanese soldiers who are out of the mountain, and first we can take down his two gun towers."
Li Heshui hesitated for a moment: "But we can't reveal the identity of the Eighth Route Army for the time being."
The militiamen responsible for guarding the rear shouted to Kuaiji at the foot of the mountain ridge: "Which unit are you from?"
Quick Legs immediately raised his voice: "Which part are you from?"
After saying that, Kuaishan quickly asked Twenty-one: "Tell him that we are from the staff department or do we use other identities?"
Twenty-one people muttered: "The Japanese occupied this area more than half a month ago. The situation is unknown now, let alone the staff department."
A voice came from the mountain ridge: "I am the Lingchuan Independent Battalion"
"Hurry back and report to your commander that the second master of Black Tiger Village is here." After Kuaishan finished speaking, he immediately waved to the leading platoon behind him: "You guys go around immediately to conduct reconnaissance."
