The world is one family, the root is yellow inside!
It is said that the traditional sacrificial culture and surname culture of the Chinese nation originated in Neihuang.
A hundred miles to the southeast is the Yellow River, which has stopped flowing for several years. Twenty miles to the northwest is the Wei River, which originates from the Taihang Mountains. The Wei River runs from the southwest to Tianjin in the northeast. The river has dried up due to successive droughts.
Years of warlord fighting have left numerous gaps in the brick and earth walls surrounding Neihuang County and have long since turned into ruins.
Originally a major grain-producing county, the Japanese invaded the Nationalist government.
Coupled with successive years of drought, the fields have lost harvests, and people have left their homes to flee.
If there are no people in the countryside, people in the city will naturally have no way to survive.
The Japanese came, burned, killed and looted, and the common people fled completely.
Later, even the Japanese who occupied the county were unwilling to garrison troops here.
So Wang Taigong officially became the security commander and county magistrate of Neihuang County, and the entire Neihuang County became a bandit den.
Without the common people, there are still many ghosts and monsters.
People from all over the country sell antiques, rob tombs and search for cultural relics.
Gradually, some shady people began to take root here.
Under the temptation of huge profits, some opium dens, brothels and brothels opened one after another, and secret prostitutes were everywhere.
There is no way to say that people are indolent. If a woman with small feet does not want to starve to death, she has no other way to survive but to sell her skin and flesh. Even if she escapes from the famine, she will end up with the same fate.
There is an unwritten rule in the county: you have to bring your own water when you go inside.
The two deep wells in the city don't produce much water, and they charge a very high price.
Later, some nearby people who were unwilling to leave their homes began to come here to do small business.
As the number of people increased, various businesses gradually became prosperous, and markets opened on the 369th day of the lunar calendar.
Few people who come to the county are serious people. Bandits, gangsters, and thieves can be seen everywhere in meetings, roads, and gates. They will shoot at each other at the slightest disagreement.
The Wang family and his son actually made a lot of money just by collecting taxes, and when they had money, they continued to recruit troops.
More than a thousand people were killed by the Eighth Route Army. In just two or three months, two to three thousand bandits from various nearby areas were once again focused.
The tobacco produced in several counties in the west was transported to Tianjin, and then grain and goods were transported from Tianjin to the county town. The most novel gadgets in the world appeared in the small county town.
The most sought-after items in troubled times are naturally guns and small workshops, collected on battlefields in various places, leaked from nearby security forces, samples of new weapons from foreign merchants, and stolen from robbers, the origin of which is a mystery.
The students were looking at the Neihuang County town simulated on the sand table on the ground, and listened to the divisional armed work captain's detailed introduction to the Neihuang County town and the deployment of the bandits.
"Captain Geng, according to you, the county is almost entirely filled with bandits and gangsters?"
"It can be said that ordinary people who sew, mend, wash and do small businesses will basically leave the county after dark."
"How can I wash clothes if there is no water?"
"The Wei River flows northwest of the county. There is a reservoir formed in a section of the river. Are there any other problems?"
The captain of the fifth division couldn't help but ask: "According to you, there are at least two to three thousand bandits in the county. How can we fight with such a small number of people?"
"Haha, comrade, don't ask me this. It's a question you have to think about. I'm only responsible for telling you the situation in the county."
Until now, no one from the ninth battalion has spoken.
Captain Geng didn't care either. He had become very familiar with Jiuying two months ago.
Next, Wang Liujin began to arrange the combat mission: "The battle will be divided into two parts. In the first step, the students from the first division and the armed work team will sneak into the county first, raid Wang Taigong's lair, and strive to capture the old bandit and let him Order the bandit soldiers in the city to surrender and strive to capture the county seat.
The second part was that no one was captured alive. The students from the fifth division and the independent regiment stormed outside the southwest of the county, covering the students from the first division and the armed work team to evacuate the county."
"Report, independent group student Luo Fugui and students from the first division did not participate in the study for no reason." Some students from the fifth division finally couldn't help but stand up.
"You are good at reconnaissance. Please take a seat." Wang Liujin looked at the student and said, "Now each department will discuss and formulate a plan. The captain will give it to me for review. I will check the equipment in forty minutes and set off in an hour!"
He did not explain or ask Hu Yi about the questions raised by students from the fifth division.
Wang Liujin and captains Hu Yi, Company Commander Zhang, and Battalion Commander Lu from three units sat in the corner under a torch and studied the map.
Company Commander Zhang spoke to Hu Yi with a tone full of envy: "Our division has jurisdiction over the Cavalry Regiment, the newly formed Fourth Route Army, and the Weihe Detachment. There are nearly a thousand anti-college cadets selected at all levels, and it is impossible to bring down the grassroots All the commanders were taken away to study, and only about 300 could participate in this study.
Company Commander Wang of the Division Guard Battalion, who came with the superior inspection team, conducted the training in person. Only thirty people were lucky enough to participate in the study.
Unlike your independent regiment, squad leaders and ordinary soldiers have the opportunity to learn from the spy battalion."
Hu Yi looked at the dark sky and shook his head: "Two hundred men against two thousand, don't you think your superiors are testing the combat effectiveness of our Eighth Route Army?"
Wang Liujin asked casually: "What do you mean?"
Hu Yi looked back: "Don't we think this matter is not as simple as it seems?"
Captain Zhang was stunned for a moment: "Can you stop beating around the bush?"
Hu Yi glanced at Wang Liujin: "The headquarters should have different opinions. The political commissar should let us use this battle to prove to the headquarters that our Eighth Route Army has the ability to counterattack!"
"Don't make random guesses. You are just spreading rumors." Wang Liujin's face darkened. He paused and couldn't help but ask again: "Why are you guessing this?"
When Hu Yi saw that Wang Liujin stopped him but still asked, he did not hide his thoughts. Some things were better spoken out: "Neihuang County is full of bandits and they don't have any decent fighting power. The leader is deliberately picking on the weak." "
"You know nothing. If you don't pick on the soft ones, how can you pick on the weak ones?" Wang Liujin was startled. Could it be that the enemy's Ministry of Industry leaked the secret?
He raised his hand and pointed at Captain Zhang and Captain Lu: "Hey, you two, listen carefully, absolutely no rumors are allowed."
Company Commander Zhang ignored Wang Liujin at all: "I think it's okay even if we forcefully attack the county town!"
Hu Yi shook his head: "You think simply. When we attacked Chaoge County last year, almost the entire secret service group was wiped out."
Captain Lu immediately expressed his opinion: "The situation was different. At that time, there were still a large number of Japs in the county, and there were also a Japs independent mixed brigade and a Japs cavalry brigade in An County. Now these Japs elites have been taken away, leaving only a few puppet troops."
Hu Yi frowned: "This is just one aspect. The Taihang base area is too important to us. Our superiors are worried that Pang Sun's puppet army will turn around and retake South Taihang. In this case, our Taihang and Taiyue Military Region in Zhongtiao Mountain in the southwest of Shanxi You can’t even be in the movie”
Captain Zhang nodded: "I understand, the superiors intend to seize Nantaihang!"
Wang Liujin couldn't help but look grim. He was a dignified instructor, but he couldn't see him far enough from the students.
What Hu Yi said was completely true, and it was Director Lin who told him.
The main force in the attack on Neihuang County was the student team.
Luo Fugui didn't care at all. He looked at the baggage in his hand and said with a dark face, "Is there something wrong with grandma's number?"
Something is wrong. In the past two months, for some reason, a large number of Japanese military tickets and French currency have appeared, and the price of gold has risen too fast. If you don't believe it, you will know after you go to Neihuang County and grab two tongues and ask.
"Half of it is missing. It's too dark!"
"Damn mule, you don't believe me? I'll buy you roasted chicken out of my own pocket!"
"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the people who gave you gold bars."
Li Huanzhang thought for a while: "Say, mule, you bring so many things to the battlefield, what if you accidentally lose them?"
"Lost? How is it possible? This time when grandma enters the county, I must recover the loss."
"Hey, won't you be punished if you don't hand over what you seized?"
Xiong immediately turned his face: "Seize it? Which of your grandma's eyes saw that I seized it?"
"Tell me about your experience."
"Do you know what an independent group is? Even if I capture it and hand it over, the group leader will have to follow and send it to me. Do you believe it?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't you have an independent battalion? You can find a way to transfer it and become a company commander."
"Uh, good idea, just like what I thought." Li Huanzhang lowered his voice: "Hey, I put a platoon leader into the soldiers given to you in our division. You have to return this platoon to me when the time comes."
"Hey, we two brothers, who is following whom? What's that one's name?"

The establishment of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment is very special. Please see the author’s words for the following content
At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the defense areas designated by Chiang Kai-shek for the Eighth Route Army were basically in remote mountains and remote areas.
After the Eighth Route Army entered the Taihang Mountains, they found themselves in a very harsh environment. Even though the number of soldiers was small, they often had too much to eat in daily life, and weapons and supplies were very scarce.
Moreover, the weapons will be damaged during the battle, so that when the new recruits are recruited, there will be no guns at all.
The Eighth Route Army itself has a small number of people and urgently needs to draw on the strength of the broad masses of the people.
In this case, the headquarters had to use the independent regiment. The original purpose was to provide a place for the people who participated in the Eighth Route Army, so that the people could come into contact with the Eighth Route Army at any time and develop a sense of belonging. At the same time, it gradually improved these super-staffed Due to the fighting enthusiasm of the personnel, the headquarters even sent only a few dozen commanders with rich combat experience.
Under such difficult conditions, the Eighth Route Army thought of the common people and could easily win over the common people. More than a dozen independent regiments that appeared one after another were still slowly developing and growing in the arduous struggle against the enemy.
As the Japanese continued their raids and the friendly forces continued to cause friction, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army company had no fixed location, and the range of activities was large in the mountains. It was difficult for various departments without radio stations to communicate with each other.
In the first two years, Chiang Kai-shek allocated military funds, but 40 years later, Chiang Kai-shek did not even provide military funds.
The main force regiment is having a better time, but the independent regiment is not only independent of the establishment, but also needs to be self-sufficient in daily supplies and military expenses. Even the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army are so poor that there is no spare money to distribute. My uncle doesn’t hate the independent group that my grandma doesn’t love.
Naturally, there is no need to turn in the seizures from attacking the enemy.
