The talented County Magistrate Yang personally directed the Duan gun tower battle and successively captured six gun towers on the edge of the blockade ditch. A merit report was sent to the Northern Bureau with the headquarters overnight.
The anti-Japanese county government compound that had just been moved to Xiaowang Village was bustling inside and outside.
Soldiers from the public security team who could write mixed with the county government propaganda officers and were using sorghum brushes dipped in lime water to write large characters on the outer wall of the anti-Japanese county government.
Several students applied by the county government from their superiors are posting slogans everywhere in the village.
The villagers followed the student cadres in shouting slogans with indignation, and the anti-Japanese enthusiasm in the base area was unprecedentedly high.
Inside the government compound.
The summary meeting hosted by County Magistrate Yang Da is coming to an end.
Unfortunately, the vulnerable puppet troops ran faster than rabbits and captured six gun towers one after another, but captured very little.
If there were bullet casings left behind during the training of the puppet troops near the gun building, and some wooden ladder door panels were removed from the gun building, several wire piles were chopped down, and several hundred meters of telephone lines were cut, the attack would have been almost fruitless.
County Magistrate Yang is summarizing and looking forward to the future: "After this battle, the development and expansion of the base area is just around the corner. Everyone must work together. The public security team is responsible for internal security and external reconnaissance of the enemy. The soldiers of the Soil and Water Conservation Corps clear wasteland to replant summer grain in the morning and train in the afternoon. Study at night"
The atmosphere at the scene was lively. The county government's public security team was named, and they quickly followed up County Magistrate Yang's speech to the enemy: "The public security team's enemy engineering section is short of manpower. We are preparing to develop personnel in enemy-occupied areas, but... we need the county government to solve the funding problem."
County Magistrate Yang realized the money problem and immediately signaled the secretary next to him who had just taken office a few days ago to focus on taking notes.
After receiving the signal from County Magistrate Yang's eyes, the Chief of the Political Affairs Section followed up and expressed his position: "I believe that the top priority is to pay close attention to political power construction, plan fiscal revenue and expenditure, ensure material supply, gradually establish village committees in each village, develop activists, organize grassroots cadre training, Then we will carry out publicity and education to the villagers, and at the same time, I would like to make a suggestion: establish a county government security platoon."
Sun Youshang, the great hero sitting at the bottom, did not feel the joy of victory at all, his eyes were full of worry.
News has long come from inside that the puppet troops guarding the forts are retreating in an organized manner.
Based on the analysis of the various unreasonable behaviors displayed by the puppet troops during the attack on the artillery towers, the enemy must have a conspiracy.
Although the puppet army is not strong in combat and has the advantage of the gun towers, it is impossible for them to retreat without firing a few shots at the water protection regiment.
County Magistrate Yang’s tactic of surrounding three and attacking one is a complete joke.
The Japanese will definitely launch an encirclement and suppression campaign on the base area next, and it will definitely not take too long.
He didn't come back to his senses until the police chief next to him bumped him with his leg.
County Magistrate Yang looked unhappy: "Captain Sun, can you concentrate a little more during the meeting?"
Sun Youshang stood up directly: "No, there is definitely something wrong with this battle. It is most likely a trap deliberately set by the enemy."
"The battle is over, we have won." County Magistrate Yang Da said with a black face, "You were afraid of war before the battle started. Of course there is something wrong with it."
Hearing what the county magistrate said, people from various departments nearby immediately looked at him.
Sun Youshang's eyes widened: "It's not the right time for us to attack the blockhouse. We have insiders in the blockhouse, and the Japanese will counterattack soon."
Yang Deshi sneered: "Japan counterattack? What a joke, do you really think I don't know that the Japs in the county are weak? If they dare to come to the base area now, I will conquer the county!"
Sun Youshang was stunned for a moment: "The reason why the Japs are weak is because most of the Japs in the county have been transferred to the south to reorganize the puppet army. Once their reorganization is completed, let alone the Japs, even if those two Japs come back, we will not be our opponents at all."
"When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we pursue you. Since you know that most of the Japanese have been transferred, you should work harder to expand the results."
"You have personally seen that with one battalion, there is absolutely no way we can take over the stronghold where the puppet army finally gathered. Without heavy weapons to storm the stronghold, it is entirely possible for our more than 300 soldiers to be completely annihilated!"
"You are afraid of death! We are revolutionaries who are willing to sacrifice our lives at any time for our ideals!" County Magistrate Yang immediately slapped the table: "You are encouraging your enemies to aspire to destroy your own prestige. This kind of thinking of yours is very dangerous."
Sun Youshang was not afraid: "Then why don't you take the lead in the charge?"
"You" County Magistrate Yang was speechless. He was the magistrate of the county and the supreme commander. How could he die in vain as a commando?
Sun Youshang didn't want to get too serious with County Magistrate Yang, so the evidence began to soften: "I suggest that everyone must be prepared to move the villagers to the mountains."
County Magistrate Yang was so angry that he blurted out: "I have something to report. The superiors have formulated a local counterattack plan. Soon, not only the supplementary regiments, but also the independent regiments will come out, and even the brother troops from Shanxi will come to support us"
At this point, he suddenly stopped and looked around at each participant: "This is top-secret information, and it must not be leaked."
Last night, Captain Chen of the supplementary regiment sent him information overnight. The correspondent repeatedly emphasized that except for him, the plan could not be disclosed to anyone before it started.
He was still a little lucky in his heart. If the situation had been resolved a long time ago, he would not have been able to lead the team to take down the six gun towers on the edge of the blockade ditch, let alone the chance to make meritorious deeds.
Thinking that he had told the people at the meeting that he knew the situation of some people in the county government very well, and such leaks would definitely not happen.
Besides, his superiors arranged for him to use his relationship with the county magistrate of the former anti-Japanese democratic government to find a way to break into the enemy camp.
In order to gain the other party's trust, you can even provide the other party with some unimportant or soon-to-be-invalid information.
Therefore, he felt that it was nothing to tell his subordinates about this in advance.
Upon hearing the county magistrate's words that the Eighth Route Army was going to counterattack, everyone present immediately started whispering to each other, and the crowd was full of emotions.
After being raided and suppressed by the Japanese for so many years, and living under the iron hooves of the Japanese, they now saw hope and expressed their opinions on how to cooperate with the main force in the counterattack.
The disagreement between Captain Sun and the county magistrate just now didn't seem to have happened at all.
People from several departments of the county government have worked in enemy-occupied areas for so many years, so they are naturally discerning. They do not want to see a disagreement between the county magistrate and Captain Sun.
I hope that big things will be reduced to small things and small things will be reduced to nothing. Armed, the speech ends quickly.
Then, County Magistrate Yang did not mention the battle again and began to make work arrangements: "The county public security team will mobilize combatants from various departments to organize a guard platoon to form a combat effectiveness as soon as possible."
The deputy captain of the public security team immediately stated: "I guarantee to complete the mission!"
County Magistrate Yang raised his hand and pressed it: "The Government Affairs Section organized the village chiefs to study, improve their ideological awareness, and vigorously develop activists."
The chief of the administrative affairs section nodded: "The grassroots political power model has already been established. I will arrange the tasks today."
County Magistrate Yang turned to look at Sun Youshang: "My attitude just now was not very good, please forgive me."
Sun Youshang didn't expect that County Magistrate Yang would apologize to him. He was stunned for a moment before quickly explaining: "It's okay, I just think..."
However, County Magistrate Yang interrupted Sun Youshang: "Since our base area is at the junction of the enemy and ourselves, it is difficult to survive. Regarding funding issues, the Soil and Water Conservation Corps, as a combat force, should strengthen training and hand over the business originally in the county to the county within three days. government, and I will apply to my superiors to transfer the intelligence system of the armed task force to our public security team."
County Magistrate Yang still pays great attention to his own image problem and carries out criticism and self-criticism in the division. He feels that he should do a good job.
Seeing that things were almost arranged, he stopped rambling and waved to dismiss the meeting in a hurry.
