Hu Yi frowned, the autonomous army appeared sooner than expected.
Some of the autonomous army are our own people and cannot be attacked.
Even if the person who really controls the Second Brigade of the Autonomous Army is the bandit Cheng Ximeng, according to the requirements of his superiors to unite all anti-Japanese forces, he cannot conflict with them.
Wang Pengying carried the heavy machine gun and happily left westward with the messy capture.
Five armored vehicles were left behind, all under the scorching sun, and hundreds of corpses of puppet soldiers and Japanese soldiers were left exposed in the sun.
The Ninth Battalion seemed to have no foundation. Hu Yi felt that it was obviously inappropriate to return to the Third Column at this time, so he planned to find Commander Cheng and send the trainee platoon leaders there, and then return to the Independent Regiment to rebuild.
Captain Xiao, who was walking in front of the team, was worried and not excited about the victory in this big battle.
I always felt in my heart that the Japanese and puppet troops would definitely take revenge after they suffered such a heavy loss!
"Fox, you really captured Cheng'an County." Xiao Hongying pouted.
"Um."
"We went to Wei County and killed Wang Qinglin, the pistol captain who betrayed Brigadier Li. We also brought the Second Regiment Division Jianye's old man with a dirty face to be faked." People will grow up, and Xiao Hongying will no longer be with Hu Yi like before. Let’s start talking about business together.
"Dirty face, does his injury matter?" Hu Yi was a little unaccustomed, and for the first time he began to care about his subordinates.
"It takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, and I estimate that I will have to rest for two to three months."
"Did you just say you were an instructor for the guerrillas?"
"That's right, we found two good prospects. Liu Yuanqing said that Zhang Xiaodao is very skilled and suitable to be a sniper."
"Congratulations then."
"Hey, when it comes to marksmanship, I'm definitely better than him."
"Sniper?" Hu Yi thought about this word and suddenly felt strange.
"Liu Yuanqing said that the Japanese we killed in the south of the village was the North China Army God." Xiao Hongying raised her face in the sun.
"Can this happen?" Hu Yi was a little confused. When he was studying some time ago, he had heard about the nonsense that the Japanese like to engage in military gods and war gods. It is the same as the Eighth Route Army's evaluation of fighting heroes and enemy-killing heroes to improve morale. .
"Liu Yuanqing said not to make any noise, otherwise the Japanese will retaliate." There was a look of pride on his little face.
afternoon.
Xiaowang Village East.
The relationship between Sun Youshang and County Magistrate Yang is somewhat subtle.
Successfully completing the task assigned by their superiors, the soldiers of the Water Conservation Corps destroyed a section of the railway between Anxian and Tangyin, with the station in sight.
Under normal circumstances, the Eighth Route Army was out at night and in hiding during the day.
Perhaps because they had already passed the blockade ditch and returned to the base area, the team still continued marching in the scorching sun.
A middle-aged man dressed as a civilian trotted up to the team with the returning vanguard soldiers: "Report to Captain Sun that a large number of villagers in the camp were poisoned the night before yesterday."
"Poisoned?" Sun Youshang was stunned for a moment before asking for details.
A soldier riding a bicycle from behind rang the bell and hurriedly came to the side panting: "Report, the Japanese are chasing a large number of puppet troops in multiple directions. It is estimated that they have now arrived near the blockade ditch and the gun towers."
"When did you discover the enemy situation?"
"According to the brothers stationed in the gun tower, the Japanese and puppet troops left the county town an hour ago!"
"Come so fast?" Sun Youshang immediately ran to the top of the nearby hillside and looked eastward with a telescope. Unfortunately, he ignored that the distance of more than ten miles was too far and nothing could be seen in the telescope.
He put down his telescope and asked the correspondent who followed him: "Which part of the puppet troops are they chasing?"
The correspondent wiped his sweat: "Part of them are the Neihuang puppet troops that were defeated by the Nine Battalions last time, and some are Wang Ziquan's puppet troops in the county. They number over a thousand. The specific situation is still under investigation."
Sun Youshang put down the telescope and thought for a while: "Let the soldiers return to the village immediately, organize the villagers to go west into the mountains, and send people to notify the county government to move!"
He ran down the hillside suddenly and asked the correspondent who had just conveyed the order to the soldiers coming out of the village: "Have you seen any signs of the enemy heading towards the Ninth Battalion defense area?"
The correspondent scratched his head: "Well, I came from the east, so I don't know yet."
Sun Youshang squinted his eyes as he looked at the southern sky, then turned to look at the commander of the third battalion, who was shaking his hat to fan the air: "Your battalion will move to the ninth battalion defense area immediately."
Stationed at Xiaowangcun County Government.
The county government, which had just received the news, immediately held an emergency meeting.
"The puppet troops should be conducting routine raids during the summer harvest. More than a thousand puppet troops are nothing. The Soil and Water Conservation Corps should be able to deal with them!"
County Magistrate Yang pointed to the map: "We still need to make the necessary preparations and immediately arrange for the transfer of the villagers."
"But what about the villagers who are poisoned in the village?"
"Quarantine lifted temporarily."
Another worried person said: "However, their situation is not suitable for transfer."
"Carry them to the stronghold behind first."
The Soil and Water Conservation Corps participated in the railway sabotage operation. They went out for two battalions and many people came back.
The Third Battalion of the Soil and Water Conservation Corps turned south midway.
In the end, Sun Youshang returned to Xiaowang Village with a team of less than 300 people.
County Magistrate Yang's eyes lit up: "Captain Sun, thank you for your hard work."
Sun Youshang was stunned for a moment: "Why haven't you started transferring yet?"
The young man next to County Magistrate Yang asked casually: "Isn't this a meeting for study?"
Sun Youyan was a little dissatisfied: "If there is a serious enemy situation, transfer should be arranged. Why should we hold a meeting at this time? Isn't this nonsense?"
Faced with the sarcastic tone, no one answered Sun Youshang.
The atmosphere was a little dull.
County Magistrate Yang's expression was a little strange. He originally planned to calm down with Sun Youshang, but he didn't expect Captain Sun to speak so disrespectfully, and his expression turned gloomy.
When Sun Youshang saw that no one in the county government expressed their stance, he said anxiously: "The Japanese were more than ten miles away from us half an hour ago. If the enemy comes quickly, they may arrive in less than an hour!"
County Magistrate Yang finally spoke: "Listen to Commander Sun and arrange for the transfer of the people immediately!"
The staff in the village office immediately dispersed. Sun Youshang breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to leave the village office.
Suddenly, I realized that the people who had just attended the meeting had not left the village office. I caught a glimpse of the county staff stuffing neatly packed and spotless official documents into their backpacks.
Sun Youshang was stunned for a while, then walked directly into the staff room next to the village office and asked sternly: "Why do you stay in the village office all the time and don't go to nearby villages to organize the transfer of people?"
"Important documents must be destroyed first." The propaganda officer who had not finished cleaning up was wiping the sweat on his forehead with a towel.
Sun Youshang was angry: "Can these broken big-character posters and leaflets in your hands be considered important documents?"
“This paper is hard to come by.”
"Your mother!" Sun Youshang was almost so angry that he burst into smoke.
The propaganda officer was scolded so much that he had nothing to say and his face turned dark.
I secretly muttered to myself that the commander of the Eighth Route Army did not even have basic cultural literacy!
But he didn’t dare to refute: “I’ll go right away!”
The village office is only so big, and the non-soundproof walls can't stop Sun Youshang from speaking loudly.
Hearing Sun Youshang's roaring voice, Yang Deshi's face became even more ugly.
The Eighth Route Army was separated from military and political affairs, and Sun Youshang openly pointed fingers at the county government.
After a while, the villagers finally began to leave the village.
An old man in a long gown suddenly raised his head and faced Sun Bushang: "In another half month, the crops will be harvested."
Another old man next to him asked: "Isn't our Soil and Water Conservation Corps also considered the Imperial Alliance Army? Why are we running away?"
Sun Youshang stared at the two old men in silence for a few seconds and said calmly: "We destroyed the Japs Railway. From now on we can no longer count as the Imperial Alliance Army."
The old man in a long gown nodded: "You are doing the right thing, we should straighten our backs and behave upright!"
After saying that, he proudly straightened his somewhat rickety figure, and his walking pace seemed to be much brisker.
