As more and more supplementary troops joined the Shanxi garrison in Taiyuan, the smiles on the faces of the commanders also became more and more.

In order to solve the key problem of the National Salvation Army as soon as possible, the Front Army spared no effort to support the Shanxi garrison, asking for people and guns...

For this reason, the commander specially issued a military order to the front.

As long as the headquarters makes up for all the losses of the Shanxi garrison in the next three months, the Shanxi garrison will take advantage of the favorable opportunity that the National Rescue Army was dragged down by 500,000 victims, and eliminate the national Rescue Army in one fell swoop, and eliminate future troubles forever!

"Report to the sir, our actions to drive away the victims from the National Rescue Army's defense zone are very smooth. At present, more than 200,000 victims have entered the National Rescue Army, and there are about 350,000 victims in the future, which is 50,000 more than our initial plan!"

"Information shows that the National Salvation Army has taken over all the victims who drove us to their defense zone and scattered them in various villages. Each person provides half a kilogram of relief food every day until the autumn harvest next year!"

"I made a quick calculation. After we drove all the remaining 350,000 victims to the National Rescue Military Defense Zone, they consumed nearly 300,000 kilograms of grain every day. The 30 million kilograms of grain reserved by the National Rescue Military was only enough for three months, and then they would lose food and fall into famine!"

"In addition, our troops have plundered no less than 10 million kilograms of grain and 150,000 oceans from these Chinese people."

"According to the previous agreement, all these food and finances are rewarded to the troops participating in the operation. Under the stimulation of the ocean and food, the Imperial Army's morale has been greatly boosted, and it is more decisive than ever when implementing the Imperial Army's orders!"

"In addition, because the Chinese who drove to the National Salvation Army defense zone had resisted the Imperial Army in the occupied area, after they left, all the Chinese in the occupied area were honest and there were almost no accidents of the attacks of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Army."

"After the security of the occupied areas has improved, many troops responsible for maintaining public security can be drawn out to perform other tasks. Currently, two infantry brigades can be transferred out."

"When we drive all the remaining 350,000 Chinese to the National Salvation Military Defense Zone, we can still transfer three infantry brigades, a total of more than 5,000 people. I wonder how you plan to arrange these troops, sir?"

The commander blurted out: "Send them all to the defense line of the National Salvation Army to strengthen the defensive forces of each stronghold! By the way, a batch of cement was sent to each stronghold to increase the number of permanent fortifications in each stronghold!"

"When the National Rescue Army is out of food in the future, we will definitely put our ideas on us. The reinforced blockade line must become a gap that the National Rescue Army will never be able to cross, and not allow a piece of food in the occupied area to enter the National Rescue Army defense zone!"

The Chief of Staff agreed and immediately took the order: "Please rest assured, I will arrange this matter myself, and then send a special person to inspect all the strongholds on the blockade line. They must build them as solid as a solid foundation, and no fly can fly in."

When the Chief of Staff of the Shanxi garrison was preparing to strengthen the forces and fortifications on the blockade line, the four garrison teams and the operation teams sent by the main force of the regiment had quietly crossed the blockade line and entered the enemy-occupied area.

It was like hunters lying in the woods, quietly waiting for their prey to take the bait.

On the undulating mountains, a detective rushed into a valley with gasps.

The operation team sent by the Yangquan garrison team hid here. As soon as the investigator appeared, the battalion commander of the second battalion came out from behind the bushes. As soon as he was about to speak, the investigator gasped and reported.

"Report to the battalion commander, a team of Japanese and puppet troops in front of us came to us. They had just plundered a village without anyone, and they robbed ten trucks of food alone!"

The battalion commander's eyes began to shine as soon as he heard this. He looked at the investigator and asked with anticipation: "How many people are there on the other side!"

The investigator was a veteran and immediately told everything he saw: "There are more than 130 Japanese and puppet troops, except for a dozen Japanese Japanese and Japanese, all the rest were puppet troops, except for three light machine guns and a grenade launcher, and there were no other heavy weapons!"

"God helps me!" The excited battalion commander made a decision on the spot.

"This is simply the fat meat that God has sent to our mouths. If you don't eat it, don't eat it!"

"The troops gather immediately and strive to quickly eliminate the Japanese and puppet troops with ambush, so that they can disappear on the battlefield quietly!"

On the winding road, the puppet army led the company commander in the middle of the team. Although he didn't speak, the smile on the corner of his mouth showed that he was in a very good mood at the moment and walked with wind.

Today's action went very smoothly. It took almost no time for Zhou Zhang to find out all the food and finances that the people hid in the village.

At this moment, he was thinking in his mind how many benefits he could get in this action: 15,000 kilograms of grain could be exchanged for 200 yuan of oceans, and 10% of them were completely returned to him, which was 20 yuan of oceans.

The 165 yuan pounds you directly grabbed can be divided into 16 yuan, and the gold and silver jewelry worth 10 yuan can be divided into 10 yuan. The livestock and chickens and ducks you grab can definitely be sold for 50 yuan, of which five yuan belong to you.

After all, I only earned fifty oceans today.

With the harvest a few days ago, the ocean in my hand has exceeded 200 yuan.

This was a benefit that I could not get when I was a puppet army for two years. Unexpectedly, the expulsion operation started in just four or five days and it was profitable.

More importantly, this action will last at least ten days. If you can get such good results every day, when the action is over, your assets will definitely exceed 600 yuan. Even if you don’t become a puppet soldier in the future, this money will be enough for yourself to live a good life!

Just as the company commander narrowed his eyes and looked forward to the future and his smile became stronger and stronger, these Japanese and puppet troops, who were almost unscrupulous, were ramming the pocket formation prepared by the movement team for them.

Zhou Cheng chose to raid the Japanese at this time, not only to teach the Japanese and puppet troops a lesson, let them know that the National Salvation Army was not crippled during the anti-sweeping raid, but also had the ability to go to the battlefield, so he forced them not to act rashly.

In addition, Zhou Cheng also had the purpose of training troops.

The proportion of new and veterans in each operation team is one to one. One veteran leads one recruit, and trains recruits through small-scale raids to allow them to adapt to the battlefield as soon as possible.

The Yangquan Garrison formed a more than 200 operation team, half of which were recruits and half of which were veterans, but it was easy to deal with more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops.

As soon as more than ten light machine guns equipped by the operation team opened fire, the Japanese and puppet army officers walking in the middle of the team were killed.

The riflemen scattered among the machine gunners had just fired the first bullet and before they could pull the bolt, the order to charge sounded in their ears.

"Rare! Comrades, kill me... I won't kill you if you stop the gun, rush!"

The puppet army has very poor combat power, and its combat power is even worse after encountering a raid. If they lose command at this time, their combat power after encountering a raid will be almost zero.

Facing the Japanese and company platoon leaders who had been beaten to death around him, seeing the National Salvation Army that suddenly appeared dozens of meters away, the ordinary puppet army's face turned pale instantly, and then a look of at a loss-willed expression on their faces.

After hearing the slogan "Stop the gun and don't kill...", the panic-ridden puppet army seemed to have caught a life-saving straw in despair. The body was frightened and the rifle held in its hand fell to the ground.

At this moment, my legs were also frightened and weak. I knelt on the ground with a "thump..." and couldn't even stand up. I was completely out of my control.

The raid was going very smoothly, and it was a bit faster than imagined.

More than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops died in less than two minutes, and none of them fled.

A platoon leader of the commando rushed towards the battalion commander, reporting with an excited look on his face.

"Battery Commander, we reduced the Japanese and puppet troops that were killed by us. We captured a total of 92 puppet troops, seized three machine guns, a grenade launcher, 116 rifles, and six pistols!"

"In addition, we seized ten carts of grain, 165 pieces of oceans, jewelry worth 100 pieces of oceans, and five carts of livestock!"

The battalion commander was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth and immediately ordered: "According to the combat plan we had formulated before, take away all the prisoners and spoils, and buried the Japanese and puppet troops who were killed on the spot, so as to eliminate all traces of the more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops we killed here!"

There is no airtight wall in the world, and it is such a big deal that more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops suddenly disappeared.

The next afternoon, after another Japanese and puppet army disappeared, the Japanese around finally realized something was wrong, and then followed the clues and found the point of exchange between the two sides.

However, because there were only dozens of Japanese soldiers among the dead Japanese and puppet troops, all the rest were puppet troops. The Japanese brigade captain who was responsible for this area of ​​public security did not pay much attention to this matter, and only reminded his subordinates to strengthen their vigilance.

Another unit disappeared on the third day, and two units disappeared on the fourth day...

After losing seven or eight hundred people in a row, the captain began to get anxious and immediately sent someone to find the opponent's traces, and then reported the bad news to his superiors as soon as possible.

In the Taiyuan Japanese Army headquarters, the chief of staff was taking a group of staff to strengthen the forces on the blockade line.

More than 5,000 elite reinforcements on hundreds of large and small strongholds on the blockade line. They need to determine which stronghold needs to reinforce how many people and how many heavy weapons they need to strengthen.

Seeing the communications officer hurried towards him, his expression was very heavy. The chief of staff's heart skipped a beat, and a trace of bad premonition flashed out.

"Report to the Chief, this is an emergency telegram sent by the front line to the military headquarters!" The communications officer did not report the content of the telegram. After saying that the source of the telegram was delivered to the Chief of Staff.

The Chief of Staff's bad premonition became stronger and stronger, so he quickly took the telegram and looked like he was.

I frowned halfway through reading it.

Then, while reading the following text, the command: "You go back first, I will call you if you have an order!"

As soon as the communications officer left, the chief of staff trotted to the commander's office with a telegram, and his face changed from the seriousness he had just now to the solemnity he had now.

He pushed open the door of the commander's office and rushed to report: "Commander, some emergencies have occurred on the front line!"

"According to our previous inference, the National Salvation Army must have suffered heavy losses in the battle against us. Even if it is not crippled, it will not be able to continue fighting with us in the short term."

"The emergencies that happened on the front line seemed to overturn this inference."

"For a few days, the troops we were active in the surrounding country-salvation army were attacked in large numbers, and almost every target was wiped out by country-salvation army, and there was no one who escaped!"

"After the investigation, the front-line command concluded that the National Salvation Army sent at least seven operation teams to our occupation, each of which had a total force of more than two hundred. They were well-equipped and strong in combat, and they specifically ambush and raided us to drive away the Chinese people's ranks."

"Now more than thirty teams have been attacked and the entire army has been destroyed!"

"The only thing worthy of our gratitude is that most of the troops participating in this operation were the Imperial Army, and only a small number of them were the Imperial Army, so the losses of the Imperial Army have not exceeded three infantry squadrons yet!"

The commander also looked down on the Imperial Army under his command and did not take their lives seriously from the bottom of his heart. No matter how much damage the Imperial Army lost on the battlefield, he would not be heartbroken.

But as the commander of the army, the highest commander of all the Imperial Army in Shanxi, no matter how much he looked down on the Imperial Army, he could not show his feelings.

Otherwise, after my reaction was spread, it would definitely affect the stability of tens of thousands of Imperial Army under my command, and it would be more than worth the loss.

So as soon as the Chief of Staff finished speaking, he frowned: "The Imperial Army is also our team!"

"Except for less than three squadrons of the Imperial Army, how many troops will the Imperial Army lose?"

The Chief of Staff quickly reported: "The loss of more than 3,500 Imperial Army troops! Moreover, the food and finance cut by these troops from the hands of the people were also stolen by the National Salvation Army!"

"Preliminary estimates that we should have lost more than 400,000 kilograms of food, and we also lost nearly 4,000 rifles and nearly 100 light machine guns!"

"Baga!" After hearing this, the commander was very angry and punched the table in front of him.

"The National Salvation Army should not be underestimated. Unexpectedly, we underestimated the National Salvation Army again!"

"Order the front line command and immediately draw troops to kill the National Salvation Army that is active in our defense zone!"

"After the unlucky people in the occupied area were driven away, didn't we free up a lot of mobile troops? Let them go and meet the National Rescue Army to our defense area for a while, and then divide the troops to reinforce the blockade line."

"The intelligence department continues to collect all intelligence about the National Salvation Army, and be sure to find out their latest situation!"

The three infantry brigades that the Japanese army had already freed went straight to the battlefield as soon as they received the order, hoping to find the National Rescue Army Operation Team to avenge.

Such a large-scale mobilization of troops would not escape the eyes of the intelligence personnel of the National Salvation Army.

The news was sent to the National Salvation Army Command as soon as possible.

Zhou Cheng was very decisive and began to issue an order after reading the information: "Old Tang, Chief of Staff, the purpose of our dispatch of an operation team is to teach the Japanese a lesson so that they can realize our strength and dare not act rashly."

"Now the Japanese army directly transferred three infantry brigades to deal with our operation team, which means they have realized our strength, otherwise there would be no heavy troops coming."

"Since our goal has been achieved, there is no need to let the operation team continue to stay in the enemy-occupied area and take risks!"

"Immediately notify the operation team to withdraw from the defense zone, and all the garrisons and main battalions will send troops to support them, and they will definitely return the spoils and prisoners they seized in the enemy-occupied area!"
Chapter completed!
