After listening to the report, the brigade commander had only one idea in his mind: the troops will win the next action.

With a satisfied smile, the order was ordered: "I inform all garrisons to act according to the original combat plan. Once the time comes, the attack on the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area should be launched. All units must take steady steps and take steps to drive all the Eighth Route Army into the mountains in five days!"

"If the Eighth Route Army dares to fight us outside the mountain, we will definitely eliminate them!"

"The intelligence department continues to keep a close eye on the defense zone of the National Rescue Military. If there is a large-scale military mobilization, I will report it as soon as possible!"

"The remaining troops of all garrisons and the Imperial Army must raise enough food in the shortest time to complete the task indicators assigned to them by the brigade command!"

After the commander of the brigade was finished, the people in the war room began to get busy. The combat staff further improved the combat plan according to the brigade commander's previous requirements. The communications staff were busy contacting the garrison brigades and issued the latest orders from the brigade commander...

At the command of the Japanese army's pacification garrison, the captain of the brigade, Major Asakawa was giving the final explanation to the gendarmerie captain: "Ono-kun, after I lead my troops, I will ask you to pacify the city."

"In order to prevent the enemy from experiencing in the city to pacify the trouble while the troops are empty, you will close the city gate as soon as I set off. The whole city is martial law and no one is allowed to enter and exit to pacify, so as to ensure the safety of the county town!"

Lieutenant Ono has been a military policeman since he joined the army. He has never had any experience in leading troops to fight, nor has he ever had the precedent of commanding two or three hundred troops at once. Faced with the important tasks of Major Asakawa, he was both nervous and looking forward to it.

Because Major Asakawa gave him a promise that as long as he takes the next city defense commander as a good person, he can leave the military police system and enter the combat force.

As a soldier, he must be more eager to go to the battlefield to make achievements, rather than staying in the military police to maintain military discipline and public order, arrest spies, and do nothing like he is now.

Among the students who graduated from the army at the same time as me, most of whom entered the field troops and did not die in battle became the squadron leader of the infantry squadron, and several others had been promoted to the captain of the major.

Only by carrying the rank of lieutenant was hesitant to live in the military police.

Ono is very frustrated? More than once, the idea of ​​entering the field troops arose in his mind.

Now the opportunity is in front of him? He will definitely not let it go: "Please rest assured, you will be lucky to be depressed by your humble position? Keep pacification!"

One hour? Major Asakawa, with the brigade commander of the puppet military police brigade and more than 100 subordinates, left Pingding City, and then the gate of Pingding City was locked up? The military police and the puppet army also began to patrol the city, requiring all the people not to leave their homes? Otherwise, they would be punished as colluding with the enemy.

Half an hour passed? Pingding City fell completely silent.

In the streets and alleys, there are no ordinary people except for the scattered Japanese and puppet army patrols.

Lieutenant Ono stood in the battle room where Major Asakawa stood, listening to his subordinates constantly reporting the situation in the city to him? He was very satisfied inside. He also enjoyed everything now.

And in a yard less than two hundred meters away from him, the reconnaissance team and a row of reconnaissance companies were planning operations in two days.

They entered the pacification two days ago, and in the next two days they transported a lot of light weapons.

The reconnaissance team has reached the standard of having a Mauser pistol, and the reconnaissance company has a little less than one row and is temporarily equipped with only eight pistols.

Because of martial law throughout the city? The city gates are closed, and it is definitely impossible to transport weapons from outside the city.

The reconnaissance company commander Tang Shengbo, who entered the city together, was worried about this matter.

The siege battle will begin the night after tomorrow? If they have not found a suitable weapon for their subordinates, they can only fight the Japanese with bare hands.

Wang Tieshan saw Tang Shengbo's concerns? He immediately comforted: "Company Commander, don't worry, our reconnaissance team will help you solve the missing weapons!"

"What everyone needs to do in the past two days is to hurry up and take a break? As soon as the siege time we agreed with the regiment commander has arrived, I will definitely get you a sufficient amount of weapons and ammunition as soon as possible."

At this moment? Tang Shengbo had no other way except to choose to believe Wang Tieshan. He could only nod and force himself to calm down.

The command center of the First Squadron of the Punishment Guerrilla Brigade, the communication soldiers from the front rushed in like wind, and before they stood firm, they gasped and reported: "Captain, all the Japanese on the other side of us were driving out of the base and lined up in front of the position. The artillery and heavy machine guns were all set up. Is it definitely going to launch an attack before noon?"

The squadron leader Liu Shuihe grabbed the telescope and went to the high ground not far away, because he could look down at the entire battlefield from a high place.

About two platoons of puppet troops and more than thirty Japanese soldiers had already set up attack formations in front of the position, and more than one hundred Japanese soldiers and thirty or forty Japanese soldiers stood behind them.

The attacking troops had two heavy machine guns on both wings, and three mortars were installed behind them, as if they were ready to take off.

When Liu Shuihe saw the formation of the Japanese and puppet troops, he realized that they were playing the game this time. His brows became deeper and deeper. He immediately asked the instructor around him: "Are all the food that the villagers just collected? "

The instructor's expression was very serious. This was the first time since the guerrillas were founded that they faced so many Japanese and puppet troops directly attacked. I don't know if they were scared or what happened. It took several seconds to react.

"We have hidden them all. In order to prevent the villagers' food rations from being taken over by the Japanese, we asked the villagers to divide them into several places to hide them. Even if we put the Japanese in the base area now, they would not be able to find food."

After hearing the instructor say that the food is fine, Liu Shuihe breathed a sigh of relief: "The food is fine, then the safety of the villagers is left!"

"You'll do this matter by instructor. I'll hand over the four, five, six and three rows to you. Be sure to transfer all the people within ten kilometers behind us into the mountain before 3 pm."

"Continue to transfer the people behind after three o'clock. Don't stop after dark. Be sure to transfer all the people outside the mountain into the mountain before tomorrow morning!"

The instructor thought about it and answered in a difficult situation: "This task is a bit difficult."

"Most of the people in the guerrilla area support us, and they will definitely cooperate with us unconditionally after receiving the transfer order. But there are still many people who do not agree with us and do not support us. They are unwilling to cooperate even storing food, let alone leaving the village and hiding into the mountains."

Liu Shuihe frowned even deeper.

With the cooperation of the National Salvation Army, the guerrillas took down such a large guerrilla area. Due to limited time and limited strength, they have not yet developed this place into a base, which has led to many ordinary people not approving of the guerrillas, and executing the guerrilla orders is also a violation of the situation.

The guerrillas cannot fight, and they cannot scold them. They can only do their ideological work without getting tired of it, but the effect is very limited.

Especially the landlords, gentry, and some ordinary people following them, it is not an exaggeration to describe them as the four words "stubborn".

I thought about the order: "If you refuse to transfer, you will do their ideological work first. If you don't transfer, you will forget it. Let them stay in the village. We cannot expose most of the people to the iron hooves of the Japanese for the sake of a few stubborn elements and fall into danger!"

The instructor also knew that there was no way to go. Although he was worried about the safety of those stubborn elements, he had to give up on them temporarily for the sake of the lives and property of most people in the guerrilla areas.

Take a deep breath and receive the order: "I promise to complete the task. Captain, what are you going to do?"

Liu Shuihe stared at the battlefield and replied: "Lead the first, second and third platoons and the cannon platoon here for two or three hours, and make time for you to divert the people, and then alternately cover the evacuation of the battlefield. Use mobile warfare to slow down the marching speed of the Japanese and puppet troops and slowly meet with you!"

In the face of a great enemy, the Japanese and puppet troops may launch an attack at any time. Although they know that it is dangerous for Liu Shuihe to defend here, the instructor has no time to have a long love relationship.

He was very serious and respected a military salute and replied: "Captain, you must take care of yourself. The Japanese are coming in a fierce manner and will definitely want to kill us completely. If it really doesn't work, retreat. Never fight them. I will use the shortest time to transfer the people in several nearby villages to give you more space to deal with the Japanese!"

As soon as the instructor left, Liu Shuihe put away his telescope: "Everyone goes to the frontier position with me, the Japanese attack is about to begin!"

The headquarters of the Yangquan Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the communications soldiers rushed in and reported: "Captain, the Japanese have begun to attack, and the first and second battalions have all begun to catch up with the enemy."

"Their offensive was particularly fierce. They used mortars, infantry cannons, and mountain cannons to bombard our positions. The troops on the frontier positions suffered great losses!"

The regiment commander stared at the map while sighing: "I have been waiting for so long, and the Japanese are finally willing to attack!"

"Is there any difference between the real forces they attacked us and the ones we had previously reconnaissance?"

The communications soldier shook his head: "There is no change, it is still a strengthening brigade's force!"

After hearing this, the regiment commander felt relieved and immediately ordered: "The First and Second Battalions immediately gave up their front-line positions and rely on the blocking positions they had built to fight against the Japanese who were attacking our attacking positions. Each blocking position will kill at least twenty Japanese. The Third and Fourth Battalions are behind them, and they are ready to replace the First and Second Battalions to block the Japanese at any time."

"Architecture Company, Heavy Machine Gun Company, Guard Company, and Special Service Company are reserves in the regiment and are on standby in the regiment headquarters."

"Political Commissar, you are responsible for the work of clearing the fields of the entire base. I want the Japanese to find no grain in our base!"

The political commissar did not leave immediately after receiving the order, but instead reminded him with a worried look: "Captain, there is no problem with my work on clearing the fields. Since we implemented rent and interest reduction in the base area and reduced the proportion of public grain, the villagers have particularly supported us and will definitely support us in building a clearing the fields without conditions."

"The only thing I worry about is that the ammunition in our hands can't last long."

"Although a lot of them were seized during the last counterattack of the Japanese and puppet troops, we had too many troops and many Japanese attacked us. The troops were divided into two groups to launch attacks at the same time. Various battles were everywhere. No matter how much the soldiers saved, the ammunition they used every day was astronomical!"

The regiment commander seemed not worried at all, and was very confident and comforted: "Don't worry, the political commissar, as long as the ammunition in our hands can last for three days, otherwise why do you think I gave up the mobile warfare we are good at, and let the troops overhaul the blocking positions on the offensive road of the Japanese, and consume their troops through blocking them step by step?"

The political commissar's eyes quickly widened, and he asked with thoughtful look on his face: "Captain, do you mean that the situation of the civil war will change in three days?"

The leader smiled, without affirmation or denial.

But the political commissar already understood in his heart.

The leader must have known some inside information that he didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't be able to laugh now.

The worry in my heart disappeared instantly, and I decisively took the order: "I will go to the steadily clear the world now, so that the troops can have a large enough battlefield to deal with the Japanese."
