The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

The voice of the devil's staff officer was very low. While reporting, he secretly glanced at the face of the detachment leader Shouichi Watanabe from time to time, ready to stop the report at any time.

But the detachment leader Hisashi Watanabe never showed any emotional fluctuations on his face, as if these casualties could no longer make him angry.

It wasn't until the devil's staff officer reported everything that the devil's detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi raised his head.

He has already learned from the staff report about the predicament their troops are currently facing. Although they control Baoying, they only control such an isolated city.

Once out of Baoying City and into the vast countryside and paddy fields, there will be guerrilla forces, and they cannot effectively control them.

Their opponent, the Northern Subei Corps, was very cunning, and instead of going head-to-head with their main force, they spread out, beating and attacking them sporadically.

Although the scale of these attacks is very small, and sometimes there are only a few people, but if there is an attack from the east and a attack from the west, if things go on like this, the losses will be very scary.

Watanabe Shouichi is very dissatisfied with the current encirclement and suppression operations. His goal is to control the entire territory of Baoying, not just an isolated city.

"The troops are not familiar with the local terrain, so that they are repeatedly attacked by Chinese guerrillas, so why didn't you find guides among the local Chinese people?" Mr. Watanabe asked the devil's staff.

The devil's staff officer also replied helplessly: "We also tried to find some guides among the local Chinese people, but unfortunately they were very uncooperative, and..."

"And what?" Watanabe Shouichi stared at the staff officer and asked.

The devil's staff paused, and said angrily: "We suspect that they have colluded with the Chinese guerrillas, and even guarded the Chinese guerrillas. We have received information several times and determined the assembly point of the Chinese guerrillas, but when we rushed over , They have already run away, and the Chinese people along the way must have taken a shortcut to report to them, or the guerrillas are hiding among the people."

After hearing the devil's staff member's answer, Watanabe Shouichi's face also became solemn, and he stood up, with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth, lost in thought.

If the local people really have a close relationship with the guerrillas, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for them to encircle and suppress the guerrillas.

Because once the guerrillas hide among the people, it is difficult for them to distinguish, unless they kill the local people.

Thinking of this, the devil's detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi had a stern look on his face, he stopped suddenly, and turned to face the devil's staff officer standing there.

"Order Tanigawa-san and Takahashi-san to take the Chinese people as hostages and force the Chinese guerrillas to show up on their own initiative."

Since the local people are inextricably linked with the hiding guerrillas, there is no need for them to go out of their way to find the guerrillas, and just grab the local people and threaten them, then all problems will be solved.

Watanabe Shouichi, the leader of the devil's detachment, believes that once they say they want to kill these people, the guerrillas will not join hands to watch.

Because once they don't show up to help, they will lose the support of the local people, and they will not be able to hide in the local area.

So this is a poisonous plan that kills two birds with one stone. Whether the guerrillas show up to save people or hide and don't save people, the guerrillas will fall into a passive state.

After hearing Watanabe Shouichi's words, the devil's staff officer was taken aback for a moment, and then an excited smile appeared on his face, thinking to himself, why didn't they think of this method.

This is completely out of iron shoes and nowhere to find. It doesn't take much effort. They just need to wait for the rabbits to be killed. It's like looking for guerrillas all over the mountains and plains now. Not to mention sleepy and tired. attack.

"Your Excellency, Detachment Captain, if the China guerrilla force refuses to show up, are we really going to kill those people?" The devil's staff officer thought about it and asked one more question.

Watanabe Shouichi returned to his seat and took a sip of tea: "If the Chinese guerrillas don't show up, then we don't need to be polite. Only by killing those Chinese people and burning their houses can we give back to you." The Chinese people in the surrounding area warned them to let them know the fate of resisting our Imperial Japanese Army! At the same time, it can make the Chinese guerrillas fall into a passive situation where they can’t help it. I don’t think the Chinese people will dare to help them in the future.”

"As long as the Chinese people don't help these guerrillas, they will be rootless, they will not get supplies and food, and they will be wiped out by us soon!"

Hearing the bright future described by Watanabe Shouichi, the devil's staff suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment: "We can set up an ambush in advance, as long as the Chinese people dare to appear, then they can be completely wiped out!"

The devil's detachment leader Watanabe Shou nodded and said: "Follow the order."

"Hi Yi!" After bowing his head heavily, the devil's staff officer turned around and left with big strides.

Soon, the telegram of the order was sent to the infantry brigade in charge of the frontier encirclement and suppression.

The devil's Gu Chuan infantry brigade was chasing a guerrilla group in a paddy field. Several squadrons of them chased and intercepted the small group of guerrillas.

If they walked on the field ridges, they would encounter firepower from the guerrillas. Not to mention machine guns blocking them, even a few rifles could block the field ridges they were advancing on.

Once the devils take a sharp charge, the opponent's machine guns and grenades will hit them, causing heavy losses to the devils.

Many devils who wanted to make a detour had to leave the ridge and walk into the paddy field, but the mud made them unable to run fast. They were shot by rifles one by one, and had to retreat, watching each other run away helplessly.

"The detachment leader is really clever. Once this plan is implemented, the Chinese guerrillas will fall into the trap without us chasing them!"

When the exhausted Captain Gu Chuan saw the telegram, his mud-splashed face showed a fierce look of excitement.

"Order all the troops to withdraw immediately and stop the pursuit." Soon, the devil's Captain Gu Chuan issued an order to stop chasing the guerrillas.

Text Chapter 150: Deputy Battalion Commander

Baoying County, Baima Lake.

Days of rain gathered into streams and poured into Baima Lake. The water level rose, and the lake had flooded the dry tidal land along the coast. There were only a few old fishing boats moored on the shore, but the fishermen were nowhere to be seen.

Baima Lake is shrouded in water mist, looking around, the water waves are rippling and hazy, and the large reeds stretch all the way to the rain and fog that cannot be seen in the sky, quiet and peaceful.

At this moment, in this densely packed reed field, the officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion under the command of the Subei Guerrilla Corps are hiding in it.

In the depths of the reed marshes, tents and shacks made of reeds were connected one by one, and the brothers hid here to avoid the encirclement and suppression of devils.

Immediately after the devils occupied Baoying, they dispatched troops to hunt down the guerrilla troops, and Wu Changqing led the brothers from the second battalion to disperse and hide in the area of ​​Baima Lake.

The main force of the Second Battalion has been hiding in this reed marsh, sending each company out in turn to attack the devils and fight guerrilla warfare, which not only confuses the devils, but also inflicts a lot of damage on the devils, gaining a lot.

Although the conditions of hiding in this wilderness are a bit tough, it is better than enough safety. Even if they are discovered by the little devils, they can quickly move away with the help of the cover of the reeds.

"The devils have set up a troop supply point in Li Village. We have already figured out the situation. There is one devil infantry squad stationed in the village and one outside the village. There are only more than 100 devils. Two companies of us can eat them. "

The guerrillas have been hiding in the dark, but the little devil is in the open. There are guerrillas hidden among the people who provide information, so Wu Changqing and the others know the devil's whereabouts well.

Although there is a brigade of devils in this area, there are dozens of villages around, and rivers and paddy fields. The scattered villages and complicated brothers greatly limit the combat effectiveness of the devils' troops.

Although the devil's encirclement and suppression force is large in number, the guerrilla brothers who take turns attacking are all familiar brothers. Every time they lead the little devils away, the little devils are so tired after going around, but the devils can't even touch their hair .

Every time the little devil was exhausted and wanted to stop to rest, the guerrillas suddenly appeared again and dealt them a severe blow, which made the little devil almost go crazy.

The guerrillas now fully grasped the initiative, and their targets were no longer limited to the devil's search team, and they were leading the devil's main force around in circles, and began to target the devil's supply point.

The theater command provided very little supplies to the northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps, and most of the weapons and ammunition needed to be provided by the guerrillas themselves.

After this period of combat consumption, the ammunition in the hands of the brothers is consumed very quickly, and now I have to find a way to get ammunition.

Fortunately, the brothers of the third company who came back from the mission brought back good news. They found a supply point for the devils, which was an advanced base for providing supplies and ammunition for the devils.

Because it is fighting in an unfamiliar rural area, there are no roads for trucks to drive, and it is extremely inconvenient for the devils to carry a large amount of ammunition to fight.

Therefore, most of the devil troops fighting are lightly armed, so that they will not fail to catch up with the guerrillas when they find them.

And the villages in some of their activity areas have set up fixed material supply points, which are responsible for providing supplies to these lightly armed devil troops at any time.

"Where is the devil's main force now?"

Although he got the information about the devil's supply point, the battalion commander Wu Changqing didn't care about it in the slightest.
