They tried to disguise themselves and sneak into the Eighth Route Army to find out information, and the personnel who carried out the mission this time.
The little devils chose these puppet troops. After all, the puppet troops, like the Eighth Route Army, were both native Chinese.
Therefore, it is not so easy to reveal the secret during communication. It is precisely because of this that this group of puppet troops can easily sneak into the Eighth Route Army's defense zone.
At this time, when this group of puppet soldiers entered the Eighth Route Army defense zone, a puppet soldier cautiously walked up to the puppet soldier in front and said.
"Battal Commander, judging from the map, we have already entered the Eighth Route Army's defense area. I really can't figure out why the little devil would arrange such a dangerous mission for us."
"That's right, if you let a few hundred of us go deep into the heart of the Eighth Route Army's defense area, isn't this asking us to die?"
"His grandma originally wanted to take refuge in the little devils to save her life, but now it seems that these stupid little devils don't regard us as human beings at all."
"Who says it's not the case? Working for his mother-in-law little devil is really bad luck for eight lifetimes. If I had known better, I might as well have joined the Eighth Route Army. At least I won't be poked in the back by the common people."
This is the puppet army. In front of the little devils, they call each other the imperial army, but in private, they just call the little devils.
Originally, they took refuge in the Japs just to survive, but unexpectedly, after taking refuge, they discovered that things were not what they imagined at all.
When they worked as lackeys for the little devils, the little devils didn't regard them as human beings at all, and let them do all the dirty work.
And when the war started, they also let their puppet soldiers rush to the front and serve as cannon fodder. They originally wanted to save their own lives by becoming puppet soldiers.
Unexpectedly, he died faster. This is normal. No matter which country's army they are in, they all look down on traitors.
The same is true for the little devils. These little devils also look down on these puppet soldiers very much, thinking that they are all weaklings and that the country is in crisis.
Who can think highly of such a person who does not think about how to defend himself against foreign enemies, but instead seeks refuge with the enemy and points his guns at his own compatriots?
However, because the territory of China was too large and the Japs did not have enough manpower, they had no choice but to accept these puppet troops.
Let him assist the little Japanese soldiers to govern the following strongholds and county towns, etc.
Seeing that the discussion among the people below was getting louder and louder, the puppet battalion commander who led it became angry.
"Okay, stop talking. We have now entered the Eighth Route Army's defense area. We must be careful what we say. If the Eighth Route Army discovers our identity."
"Then I'm afraid none of us will survive, so complete the mission and go back as soon as possible and move on."
In fact, the puppet battalion commander also had a headache. How could they find out something that the little devils couldn't find out?
.............
But there was no way, they didn't dare to disobey the little devil's order, so they could only pretend to be the Eighth Route Army to find out the news.
Fortunately, they did not encounter regular troops of the Eighth Route Army along the way. All they encountered were people from the county brigade and district squad.
With the clothes they were wearing, they were able to get past them quickly, but what made him feel regretful was that these people from the county brigade and the district team were there.
It seems that they don't know the information about the new rifle of the Eighth Route Army. They have no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to move forward.
They could only pray that it would be best to complete this mission without being discovered by the Eighth Route Army.
Soon, after traveling for a period of time, they actually reached the vicinity of Ding Wei's new regiment, and saw the soldiers of the new regiment in charge of garrison immediately coming forward.
"Stop, which army are you from? What are you doing in our new regiment?"
"We are the third battalion of the second regiment of the 385th Brigade. We accidentally encountered an ambush by a Japs a few days ago and got separated from the rest of the army, so we came here."
The leading puppet battalion commander immediately stepped forward and replied that the 385th Brigade and the 386th Brigade both belonged to the 129th Division.
This unit does indeed exist. It was established not long ago. It is precisely because of this that the little devils let these puppet soldiers pretend to be the second regiment.
After all, many of this unit are new recruits, and since it was established relatively recently, other units of the Eighth Route Army are quite unfamiliar with this second regiment.
Therefore, the risk of exposure is relatively low. If you impersonate other troops, such as the 769th Regiment of the 385th Brigade, the risk will be great.
This unit has been established for a long time. To be precise, it was adapted from the 10th Division of the Fourth Red Army. Many units in the Eighth Route Army are more or less aware of this 769th Regiment.
If these puppet soldiers pretend to be the 769th Regiment, they are really looking for death, but if they pretend to be a newly established unit, there is not that much risk.
In fact, this was indeed the case. When the soldiers of the new regiment heard this, they did not doubt that he was there, and immediately smiled and said.
"It turns out they are from the second regiment. Please wait here for a moment while I report the situation to the regiment leader."
"OK."
After the soldiers of this new regiment left, these puppet soldiers could not sit still for an instant.
"It's over. Why are we so unlucky? We met a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army. I remember that this troop was the same troop that defeated the Little Japs Sakata Regiment not long ago."
"Listening to what you said, I also have an impression. This unit is very famous in the entire northwest of Shanxi. Why did we encounter this unit?"
"I hope they don't discover our identity, otherwise we will be in danger this time. Alas, I didn't expect that we arrived at the new regiment's defense area in a daze."
When these puppet soldiers heard that the soldiers in front of them were a new regiment, they immediately panicked. They must know that this army is not simple.
A unit with only more than a thousand men was actually able to defeat the Sakata Regiment of the Little Japs, which was known as an elite unit. It was because of this unit at that time.
The top brass of the Little Devils were furious, because it was this new regiment that was covering the transfer of the 129th Division's headquarters and field hospital.
Let the little devil's large-scale encirclement and suppression plan come to nothing, so they puppet soldiers can hear about the new regiment of the 386th Brigade.
When the puppet battalion commander in front heard the discussion of the people behind him, he immediately scolded.
"What time has it been? Are you still talking about this? We have already arrived at the defense area of the New Regiment. In case what you just discussed is overheard by the soldiers of the New Regiment."
"That would be tragic. If you want to die, I won't stop you, but don't drag me to die with you."
