under fire

Chapter 718 Traitors everywhere
The sub-regional armed task force worked hard in the jujube forest in the sand dunes, and haunted the green yarn and reed marshes.

In the early years, they could often pretend to be businessmen, puppet soldiers, and local gentry to infiltrate the enemy, and even get news in advance to ambush a small group of enemies who went out to harass the people.

Since the Wang puppet started a large-scale rural clearing campaign in the occupied area two years ago, the activities of the Israeli work team have been greatly restricted, and the base area has been shrinking day by day. It was a year of great famine, and the population dropped sharply.

The puppet army mopped up again at the beginning of the spring. During this period of time, the anti-mopping up work of the task force has been in a severe situation.

The Wang Puppet Qingxiang Movement first focused on military affairs, advancing both military and political affairs, suppressing and appeasement, three-point military and seven-point politics as the policy to strengthen public security, build blockhouses, blockades, blockades, blockades, and bamboo and wood fences on the plains. Set up barbed wire and power grids, divide and blockade the anti-Japanese base areas, and then drag the nets to sweep them;

Then carry out political clearing of the countryside, extensively publicize the friendship between China and Japan in the Qingxiang area, and peacefully build the country. ***rule;

Then carry out economic purges, implement strict material control policies and material blockade and embargo policies, and implement economic blockades in anti-Japanese base areas;

In the end, the imperial court wanted to clear the countryside, and established institutions to control schools in the Qingxiang area, publish newspapers, organize youth leagues, and carry out anti-red education.

In addition to the puppet Wang, what made the work team gnash their teeth with hatred was that there were still a large number of Huidaomen armed forces operating in the plain area. Instead of attacking the invaders, they pointed their finger at the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.

Ever since the devil built a gun tower at the east end of the village, Liu Laowu, the pseudo-insurer, has been trying to establish a relationship with the captain of the devil.

It just so happened that these two days were auspicious days for the ancient meeting in the village, and the leader of the ghost team had long thought of sightseeing in Liu's mansion, so he readily agreed to attend the banquet.

The ancient folk custom is that the people in the nearby ten miles and eight towns worship the god of fire in order to avoid fires. The temple fair of the god of fire is specially held to express the grand activities of the common people to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters, and to welcome good luck and happiness.

Even under the iron hooves of the devils, the ancient society continued as usual.

The sky has just turned white, and it can be seen that it is another cloudless and sunny day in spring.

On the edge of the old course of the Yellow River.

Even with the severe drought, the dense reeds sway in the morning breeze.

A figure was running fast among the reeds.

As soon as they turned a corner, the two people squatting in the reeds immediately held their guns and shouted: "What are you doing?"

The figure calmed down and slowed down: "Don't make gestures, it's me."

Hearing the sound, the squatting person quickly got out of the reeds and took a few steps forward: "Hey, Captain Yang. You're back."

Captain Yang stopped in front of the two sentinels: "Where are Deputy Captain Geng and the others?"

"It's just ahead, and it's not far along this road."

"Continue to be vigilant!"

After Captain Yang finished speaking, he raised his legs and continued walking to the depths of the reeds. After a while, he came to the temporary station cut by the armed task force hidden in the depths of the reeds.

Vice-captain Geng was teaching the soldiers a literacy lesson. When Captain Yang came back, he immediately put down the reed in his hand, and ordered the soldiers in a circle around him: "Disband!"

Deputy Captain Geng hurried to Captain Yang: "Captain, have you figured out the situation?"

"Well, Captain Devil will attend Liu Laowu's family banquet at noon today!"

Vice-captain Geng patted his thigh: "Finally, we have such a good opportunity for the little devil to come out of the gun tower. We have to cheer for the little devil for this matter!"

The monitor next to him, Chen Tongxi, immediately jumped up: "Captain Yang, let's have a good discussion!"

Captain Yang looked at the twenty or so people around: "Our people are watching, everyone quickly change into villagers' clothes, and those with long guns will meet them in the reeds outside the village. Let's go and give the devil some eye drops."

The soldiers began to clean up the guys in the reeds. Captain Yang swept away his black face for several days, pulled Deputy Captain Geng aside, and said excitedly in a low voice: "This time, there are quite a few armed people gathered in the Daomen. According to the information from the inside, There are more than 2000 at least, and the division has already asked for help from the superiors. If there is no accident, our reinforcements will arrive as soon as tonight."

"Then let's deal with that big traitor Liu Laowu now, will it scare the snake away? Is this appropriate?"

Dui Yang shook his head: "Liu Laowu is on strict guard, we have no chance, let's take the opportunity to kill the devil's captain today, so that the devils will at least be suspicious of Liu Laowu and the others!"

"Is there any news about the traitor surnamed Liang?"

Captain Yang shook his head: "Our people have not been in the Daoist sect for a long time, but I heard that there is such a number one person, the traitor is out at night, it is difficult to find his whereabouts, let's just ignore him.

"By the way, news came from the west that it was the man surnamed Liang who arranged for people to poison wells in the base area. One was caught a few days ago."

"There was a severe drought last year, and the water source was seriously insufficient. We must arrange the militia in the base to guard the wells day and night, and pay special attention to strangers who appear around the village."

"Captain, don't worry, this matter has already been arranged."

"I've been active all night, eat first, and act after eating."

"Uh, the captain is out of rice. There are not many fish caught in the river."

It's almost noon.

The traitor led the way, the two devils held a rifle at the end of the gun, and the plaster flag was waving at the muzzle of the gun. More than a dozen devils next to them carried sharp bayonets on their backs, and more than 30 puppet soldiers behind them entered the village majestically.

The villagers who were visiting the ancient society saw this situation, and the timid ones rushed to the alleys in the village, and the bolder ones stood by the roadside with Liu Laowu and other traitors, holding small paper flags in their hands, lined up on both sides and shouted indiscriminately. With the slogan of welcome abroad.

"Clear the street, clear the street, damn it, get out of the way, hurry up, get out of the way!" A group of traitors and devils rampaged, yelling and rushing towards Liu's residence as if there was no one else around.

Baochang Liu Laowu, in long robes and short coats, nodded and bowed, and led the gentry in the village to stand in front of the gate and wait for the imperial army to fight.

The guests and hosts were all smiling, and Liu Baochang was greeting each other with hands in hand.

boom!boom!
After two gunshots.

The leader of the ghost squad who was sitting on the horse's back tilted his body and fell off the horse in response.

For a moment, the welcome crowd was stunned, and then there was chaos.

It was not at all clear who fired where and where the bullets came from.

Run as fast as you can, leave the land of right and wrong, human instinct.

Captain Yang slipped off the roof with two guerrillas, turned out from the alley, and ran out of the village following the chaotic flow of people as if nothing had happened.

A certain voice shouted loudly: "There are eight roads, people ran out of the village!"

The leader of the devil squad was shot in the head and chest, fell to the ground and twitched a few times, and then remained silent. The sergeant who accompanied the team woke up and immediately blasted out the puppet army who had been well hidden for a long time. The army hurriedly chased outside the village.

The ordinary people who had been running around dispersed in a hurry, and there was no one outside the village except for shaking my reeds.

　The Wang Puppet Nationalist Government's Qingxiang Campaign:
　　The first step is to carry out military clearing of the countryside: use the Japanese and puppet troops to build blockhouses, blockades, blockades, blockades, bamboo and wood fences, set up barbed wire and power grids, divide and blockade the anti-Japanese base areas, and then implement sweeping nets and combs in the anti-Japanese base areas;
　　The second political Qingxiang: In the Qingxiang area, widely publicize the friendship between China and birds and the peaceful establishment of the country. While promoting the publicity to the masses, implement the formation of Baojia and Lianbao, the formation of police and security forces, and the implementation of surrender and instigation. In order to strengthen the Communist Party **rule;

　　The third economy is Qingxiang. Qingxiang areas implement strict material control policies and materials blockade and embargo policies, and implement economic blockades in anti-Japanese base areas;

　　The fourth is to clean up the countryside. In the Qingxiang area, schools controlled by traitor government agencies are established, newspapers are published, youth leagues are organized, and anti-red education is carried out.

　　Although the Wang Puppet Nationalist Government nominally took over the jurisdiction of the puppet regimes supported by the original northern Republic of China Restoration Government, the Puppet Republic of China Provisional Government, and the Mengjiang Joint Self-Government, the reorganized "North China Political Affairs Committee" and the "Mengjiang Joint Self-Government Government" The "United Self-Government" still maintains a high degree of independence in fact, and is basically not like the puppet Nanjing National Government..
　　Under this background, the Eighth Route Army organized a detachment going south.
