The Independent Regiment, after helping Kong Jie relieve the siege, walked for two more days and arrived near Lijiagou Village, thirty miles west of Yang County.
At this time, the soldiers who were scouting in front came back to report:
"Battal Commander, there is a company of Japanese soldiers in Lijiagou Village ahead who are collecting grain."
"Really? There are only two Japs, not little Japs?"
Yang Yuanshan asked curiously.
In the past, the second devils usually did not act alone, but would more or less follow the little devils. After all, the little devils did not trust these wastes who only ate and did not work.
"No, we looked from several directions and saw no trace of the little devil."
"Okay! Li Dahe, take the Third Company to deal with this gang of two Japanese, and don't let anyone slip through the net.
If you can catch them alive, catch them alive. I just need someone to carry the cannonballs. "
"yes!"
After Li Dahe, the original reconnaissance platoon leader, became the company commander, this was the first time he went on a mission alone. He couldn't help but be a little excited, and immediately took his third company to follow the two reconnaissance soldiers.
After a while, Yang Yuanshan heard the sound of gunfire from ahead.
He couldn't help curling his lips and thought to himself: How come Li Dahe has learned so badly?
The Japanese who were attacking a company actually fired one shot. This was a bit too much!
A 70mm grenade is worth a lot!
However, when he saw the system prompt, he felt that this shot was not wasted -
"Kill 15 Japanese infantrymen, and you will be rewarded with 10 Mauser C96 pistols and 2,500 rounds of 7.63mm bullets."
"Kill the Second Japanese Company Commander*1, and you will be rewarded with a Czech light machine gun*1 and 1500 rounds of 7.92mm bullets."
10 box guns, one Czech style, so delicious!
The so-called Mauser C96 pistol is the famous box gun, mirror box, and speed machine.
A favorite of our military officers and guerrillas, this thing has a single-shot mode and a burst mode, usually with a 20-round magazine.
In burst mode, it can be used directly as a submachine gun.
Nowadays, most of the pistols used by soldiers in the special agent battalion are little devil boxes seized on the battlefield. These crappy things are very easy to jam.
Only a few officers and scouts had access to the occasionally captured box guns.
Nowadays, ordinary soldiers who fight against the Japanese Japs can seize box artillery pieces. Yang Yuanshan decided to wait until he reached northwest Shanxi and then send out each company to specifically find trouble for the Japanese Japs.
When thousands of box cannons are collected in the future, what will the secret service camp look like?
The long-range shooting of the 38-meter cover and the melee box cannon burst. The picture is so beautiful that I don’t even dare to think about it!
…
After a while, Li Dahe came back with his men and dozens of dejected Japanese prisoners carrying trophies.
These two devils originally thought that the three hundred Eighth Route Army soldiers just now were all the enemies, but they didn't expect that there were so many here now, and their eyes suddenly widened.
I thought to myself: Is this too unlucky for me?
How could He De provoke so many bad guys!
Moreover, the clever man actually saw the mountain artillery and cannons of the artillery company, which was even more incredible.
These people reacted keenly. Could it be that Taijun sent them out to wander in the mountains just to find the whereabouts of this group of Eight Route Army soldiers?
Thinking of this, they suddenly felt that their future was bleak.
Although it is said that if you encounter the Eighth Route Army, you can save your life as long as you abandon your weapons and surrender, but now this group of Eighth Route Army seems to be carrying out a secret mission. They shouldn't let them go, right?
…
"Battal Commander, I killed 16 Japanese Japs, captured 80 prisoners, and seized dozens of half-worn 38-gai and Jin-made 65 rifles, as well as a batch of property.
Two of our own soldiers were shot by stray bullets and slightly injured. "
Li Dahe happily reported to Yang Yuanshan.
His company of 300 men bullied the Japanese soldiers in this company like a cannon hitting mosquitoes.
So relaxing.
"What? Two other people were slightly injured?
Who dares to shoot at us?
Pull him out and kill him! "
Yang Yuanshan pretended to be fierce and frightened the Japanese prisoners.
As soon as he said this, Wei Dayong next to him grinned and walked out of the queue, preparing to carry out the shooting mission.
After listening to his words and seeing Wei Dayong with a fierce look on his face, the Japs were so frightened that some of them peed their pants.
Immediately kneel down and beg for mercy:
"Ba Ye, please spare your life! I will never dare to shoot at Ba Ye again!"
"We were all forced. It was the company commander who ordered us to fire!"
"I have an eighty-year-old mother above me and a baby suckling at my breast! I can't die..."
For these useless snacks, Yang Yuanshan could just scare them. Of course, he would not really let Wei Dayong get people to be shot.
He called Zhou Xianpei and Xu Shaobai and explained to them:
"Lao Zhou, Shao Bai, these Japanese prisoners, I want to convert dozens of people to help us carry the artillery shells. You can take them over for a public trial and a grievance meeting. We will rest for an hour before setting off!"
"yes!"
Xu Shaobai was naturally familiar with this set of magic weapons for dealing with Japanese prisoners. Zhou Xianpei had only seen it in documents issued by the headquarters before, but now he was going to experience it personally, and he was very excited.
The two agreed quickly and then went down to make arrangements.
…
More than half an hour later, with the sound of more than a dozen gunshots, Zhou Xianpei came to Yang Yuanshan with a solemn expression.
"Battal Commander, we interrogated these Japanese prisoners and discovered an important piece of information."
"What information?"
Yang Yuanshan was a little surprised.
When he first met Zhou Xianpei in Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp, he felt that this man had an unusual calmness.
After these few days of contact, he felt even more that the other party was extraordinary, and that he was much better than the ideal instructor Xu Shaobai he had imagined before.
So now when he heard Zhou Xianpei say this, his heart skipped a beat.
Now there are more than 2,000 people in the Independent Regiment in this mountain forest. If there is an army of Japanese soldiers blocking them from behind, I'm afraid they won't be able to get a good deal.
“This group of Japs were originally the third battalion and third company of the sixth regiment of the third group of the Northern Hebei Public Security Army of the Locust Alliance Army stationed in Yang County.
According to them, yesterday, their sixth regiment received an order from Jinyang, requiring all members of their regiment to go into the mountains to collect food in company units!
And each person is only allowed to carry 5 rounds of ammunition! "
Zhou Xianpei replied.
“Jinyang City directly ordered them to collect grain, or did they go into the mountains?
It's really unusual. "
Yang Yuanshan nodded, this order was indeed a bit abnormal.
It is common for the little devil to ask the second devil to collect food.
After all, their small country was poor and could not support their millions of troops. They could only desperately search for food, coal and other strategic materials in the occupied areas.
But going into the mountains to collect food is not normal.
The villages in the mountains are generally small in size, the people are already poor, and the roads are difficult to walk. I am afraid that the little grain collected is not enough for them to consume.
A typical loss-making transaction.
"Lao Zhou, what do you think?"
"I think the little devils are either preparing to raid us on a large scale, so they let the second devils go into the mountains to search for food, and they may do it themselves in the plains.
Either it is under the guise of collecting food, and the purpose is to find our traces. "
Zhou Xianpei expressed his thoughts.
"What you said makes sense, but I think there is a high probability that it has both purposes.
I have to say, this little devil’s trick is brilliant.
When the two Japs enter the mountains and encounter us, as long as we fight them, their position will be exposed.
And each of them only carries 5 rounds of ammunition. If we eat them, we won't gain much, and we will also consume a lot of ammunition.
But if we don't fight, we can only look at these bastards and the common people!
This is a conspiracy! "
Yang Yuanshan scratched his head, feeling that the little devil's move was really difficult to deal with.
Now that the secret service battalion has beaten this group of Japs, maybe tonight, the Japs will receive the news and determine their marching direction.
At that time, whether it is interception from the front or bombing by planes, they will be able to drink a pot.
"Battal Commander, what should I do?"
Zhou Xianpei looked ugly.
He is a political cadre and has just joined the frontline army. Faced with this situation, he has no good ideas.
"Order the logistics company and health team to set off immediately and detour eastward at the intersection ahead."
Yang Yuanshan gave the order decisively.
"Battal Commander, are you preparing?"
Zhou Xianpei vaguely guessed what Yang Yuanshan was thinking.
"Well, Lao Zhou, you take the logistics company and the health team and leave first. I'm going to discuss it with the regiment leader behind."
Yang Yuanshan did not explain, and it was hard to say whether his idea would be approved by Li Yunlong.
"good."
Zhou Xianpei did not ask any more questions, but nodded in agreement.
"Batalion Commander, how many companies are we in?"
Han Yang, He Yunfu, Li Dahe and others asked.
"Companies 1, 2, 3 and 4 will stay and rest! Wait for my order!"
"yes!"
