There was a sudden heavy rain a few days ago.
Bring life to the dry land.
No one knew that severe flooding was occurring downstream of the river.
Ruthless natural disasters, coupled with man-made disasters caused by the Japanese.
Camp Nine hosted refugees in several deserted villages west of the blockade, struggling to survive.
With the help of the Soil and Water Conservation Corps and Wang Jingchang's reputation, a base area was quietly and difficultly developed in the area where the enemy and the enemy combined, and no one was willing to give up.
The Japs did not conduct large-scale raids. Since ancient times, there have been bandits in the mountains on this land. Big bandits in famous mountains and small bandits in small mountains. Their identities are just different in troubled times or prosperous times.
Even after many years of suppressing banditry in the Republic of China, banditry still failed to be eradicated. Standing on the roof of the gun tower, the Japanese captain did not believe that banditry could be completely eradicated.
In his opinion, the Eighth Route Army is a bandit.
He knew very well that the main purpose of the imperial army's occupation of this land was resources and assimilation.
Intelligence officers stationed in the village kept sending news that a battalion of the Eighth Route Army and the duplicitous Soil and Water Conservation Corps were operating in this area!
There is indeed a shortage of people on hand, so we can only turn a blind eye to the Tubal Road activities. The idea is to let the security forces deal with the all-pervasive Tubal Road.
The superiors suddenly requested a sweep.
According to the long-term peace and stability plan, now is not the best time to eliminate them.
The camera turns to the black pine forest seven or eight miles to the west.
You don't need to think about it to know that those Imperial Army soldiers who can't stand being exposed to the sun will definitely head west into the pine forest.
If nothing else, the black pine forest would definitely surprise him.
Let their own people fight their own people. No matter which side wins, the imperial army will ultimately benefit.
Are the puppet soldiers stupid? There must be smart people who can survive in troubled times.
As the ancient saying goes: "Don't enter the woods!"
The vanguard of the puppet army at the front didn't know that the dozen or so of them were most likely to become cannon fodder.
Big beads of sweat trickled down his face and into his neck.
More than a hundred meters away from the woods, one by one began to spread out with bared teeth. In line with the principle of a dead Taoist friend but a poor monk, the two puppet soldiers were asked to go to the edge of the woods to investigate first.
Wang Sanzhu, who was holding the battle from behind, stood in the wilderness with a large number of puppet troops.
Brigadier Liu unbuttoned his short shirt and stood in front of the team with a shell gun in his hand.
The puppet soldiers behind were very discerning, and no one followed them. This honor of being surrounded by thousands of people belonged only to the young commander.
Brigadier Liu held up his binoculars and looked at his subordinates who had gone into the pine forest to escape the scorching sun without turning back to report that they were safe.
I immediately felt angry.
Firstly, Wang Sanzhu from behind cannot be underestimated, and secondly, morale must be improved before the battle.
He turned to the puppet troops behind him and said with high spirits: "I have brothers like you, we can defeat the Eighth Route Army today and it will be just around the corner."
The puppet soldiers in the rear team immediately picked up their guns and stabbed the sky, shouting in unison: "The brigade commander is mighty!"
Brigadier Liu continued to encourage his men: "Under Liu's command, those who have meritorious service will be rewarded. The winner will be famous in the Central Plains. I am here waiting for everyone to return with honor."
"Here, I obey the brigade commander's order." The puppet soldiers swore allegiance to the death.
Wang Sanzhu, who was leading the team on the other side, was stunned for a moment. Is this a fucking opera? Which song is it sung from?
With the two puppet armies together, Wang Sanzhu naturally had to listen to the orders of Brigadier Liu, a senior officer.
The puppet soldiers were highly motivated and vowed to take down the black pine forest and clean out the rats that were harming public security one by one.
Fortunately, one of the men who entered the dark forest finally stood at the edge of the forest, waving a small flag and shouting: "Everything is safe!"
The scenes in the woods were naturally invisible to the puppet soldiers standing in the wilderness.
On a summer afternoon, the light in the woods is not dim.
The iron-gray barrel of the light machine gun looks very ferocious.
More than a dozen puppet soldiers who had their clothes stripped sat in a circle on the ground.
The soldier next to him smelled the puppet uniform he had just put on, and looked disgusted: "My clothes are soaked, how can these puppet soldiers sweat so much?"
"Hey, this clothes looks really good." Another soldier carefully folded the Japanese uniform he had changed into.
In the future, this Japanese skin will be a great weapon, but now it will not be used against the large number of puppet troops behind.
Shi Cheng was dressed in a puppet army uniform, holding a shell gun against the midfielder who had just informed the puppet army that he was safe: "Hey, you performed well!"
The puppet soldier's feet were a little weak and he leaned against a pine tree at the edge of the forest to steady his body.
The big-brimmed hat was crooked on his head and he nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Ba, for showing mercy!"
A young man came out from the depths of the woods with a book in his arms and began to conduct a battlefield review of the puppet troops: "Name. Team number, age, hometown address."
The puppet soldier with rolled-up sleeves and trouser legs quickly replied: "My name is Zhao Goucheng."
The young man taking the note was stunned for a moment: "Another one named Goucheng? Zhao Goucheng. Together with Qian Goucheng, Sun Goucheng, Li Goucheng, and Zhou Goucheng, we just round up the top names of the Hundreds. ""
Another puppet soldier held a small notebook in his hand and stepped forward with a smile on his face: "Mr. Eighth, can we count this as a bargain anyway?"
The young man who was flipping through the list impatiently said: "Sit down, it's not your turn yet!"
Tian Sanqi came out of the woods at some point, without even looking at the puppet soldiers, and came to Shi Cheng's side: "Do the puppet soldiers believe it?"
With a smile on his face, Shi Cheng handed the binoculars to Tian Sanqi. He seemed to be in a good mood: "Hey, hurry up and arrange the machine gun team. We'll prepare a big meal soon!"
Tian Sanqi took the telescope and watched the densely packed puppet troops disperse and head towards the woods: "So many?"
Shi Cheng winked: "Aren't you bragging that you are better than Chen Chong all the time? I want to see if you are really that powerful in a while."
Tian Sanqi threw the telescope to Shi Sui: "Then you should open your eyes and take a closer look!"
Even though I said that, I still felt a little unsure.
There are really too many puppet troops coming, let alone 1,560!
The troops he brought were seriously insufficient, but facing such a huge force of puppet troops, he was trembling in his heart.
Jiuying dares to commit suicide. Most of the time, it is based on the mentality that if you don't take advantage of it, you are a fool.
However, with such a huge disparity in military strength, it is absolutely impossible to take advantage of the puppet army.
We must change our tactics!
He grabbed Shi Cheng's hand and said, "Retreat into the forest first!"
"With such a good opportunity, why don't you ambush them first?" Shi Cheng was stunned for a moment: "Hey, didn't you mean..."
Tian Sanqi pouted: "Haha, you think you can win the battle by saying harsh words? Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Don't you dare fight." Shi Cheng said excitedly.
"You have to give up if you can't beat me!"
"I have never seen such a cowardly person!" Shi Cheng's hands itched.
Tian Sanqi sneered: "Then why don't you hit your balls against rocks?"
"You have never seen someone speak so shamelessly!"
Tian Sanqi didn’t take it seriously at all: “Then you’ve seen it today.”
"You said Gao Yidao's soldiers dared to bayonet with the Japanese? Why do I feel so awkward? Is it because a coward like you doesn't want you in the second company?"
"Believe it or not, I beat you so hard that you have teeth all over the floor?"
Shi Cheng still refused to give up: "Hey, are you really not going to give the puppet soldiers a try here?"
Tian Sanqi was a little annoyed with this person: "Songlinzi is only so big. Once the battle starts, the puppet troops will be able to disperse and surround us. When the time comes, those Japanese will come up with reinforcements, do you think you can get some relief?"
Shi Cheng finally nodded: "That's right, then...how do you want to fight?"
"As the enemy advances, we retreat. We can't defeat him in broad daylight. We'll give them a big surprise at night!"
"I can't eat the fat that reaches my mouth. I can't swallow this breath!" Shi Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you lay a few landmines first to give them some color?"
Tian Sanqi nodded: "Then it's up to you."
The puppet prisoners were taken deep into the woods.
Gang Chang heard the conversation between the Eight Masters and the officers exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief.
The guilt in my heart has weakened a lot.
After all, as a vanguard soldier, if he kills his brothers who live with him day and night because he is afraid of death, he will always feel a little uncomfortable.
