Chapter 729 The Unfortunate Puppet Army

The main tasks of the armed task force are to mobilize and organize the masses, establish and restore the party organization, establish a secret people's government, attack and disintegrate the Japanese and puppet troops, destroy the Japanese and puppet organizations and regimes, cooperate with the anti-Japanese base areas in the struggle against the enemy, and make the enemy occupy The area gradually became a base area.

broken hospital.

In a dilapidated house with no door and no roof, a fire was lit.

Hu Yi, Gao Yidao and Captain Yang surrounded the map.

Captain Yang pointed to the map and introduced the surrounding situation: "We are going east now, which is the territory of the old bandit Wang Taigong. No-name troops fight against devils and guerrillas.

After the devils came, the bandits set up an ambush to start a war with the devils. Unbelievably, within half a day after the battle started, a team of nearly 2000 people was beaten to pieces by a squadron of devils. After the bandits were defeated, they fled everywhere. Seeing that the situation was not good, this guy surrendered directly, and was organized by the devils as the third detachment of the Puppet 24th Army. Wang Taigong served as the commander of the detachment, and at the same time served as the head of Neihuang County, and openly became an enemy of the Eighth Route Army. "

Gao Yidao glanced at Captain Yang: "You mean that the target of our visit this time is this bandit Wang Taigong?"

Captain Yang's voice was low: "Yes, the traitor Wang Taigong and his son Wang Sanzhu took refuge with them, armed with Huidaomen, bandits, and landlords, arrested and shot revolutionary masses everywhere, and massively destroyed rural grassroots organizations in base areas.

In ten miles and eight townships, they rummaged through chests and cabinets, led animals, kidnapped and murdered people, burned houses, extorted, countless, and killed our underground workers and traffic workers. Many of our cadres and activists were assassinated by him, and the anti-Japanese masses were seriously threatened. Wang Sanzhu The father and son also blatantly forced our anti-Japanese regime to spread out its base areas, which is really a heinous crime, but they are so powerful that our military workers have been unable to do anything about him. "

Gao Yidao shook his head: "No matter how many bandits there are, they are still a mob. If you don't have the backing of the devils, if you want to beat them, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to divide it?"

Captain Yang gave a wry smile: "This old bandit had defected to the national army before, and had a special status as a guerrilla fighter. After he defected to the enemy, he claimed that he was in Cao Ying and his heart was in the Han. Take refuge, there are at least 2000 people with guns from all walks of life gathered at present."

"More than 2000 bandits?" Gao Yidao clicked his tongue: "So many?"

Hu Yi withdrew his gaze from the map: "There are more than 2000 bandits. It seems that there are many people, but it is impossible for so many bandits to gather together. Have you figured out their distribution?"

Captain Yang pointed to the map: "These bandits are only Wang Taigong's direct descendants stationed in Inner Huangcheng. Relying on their own strength and horses, and Li Ying's No. Since then, directly slaughtering the village, almost all Huidaomen, landlords, and bandit armed forces within a hundred miles have joined the Wang family and his son."

Speaking of which, Captain Yang took out the map he carried with him: "Most of the Huidaomen armed forces are distributed in various villages on the plain. This is their approximate distribution map."

Hu Yi looked at the map and nodded: "It seems that you have put a lot of thought into it!"

"There were more than 40 people in our work team. In order to collect this information, more than a dozen comrades were sacrificed. Countless anti-Japanese activists were killed by reactionary forces. Among them, only more than 20 villages belonged to us."

Gao Yidao suddenly asked: "How many villages are there in your base area?"

Captain Yang was a little embarrassed: "There are hundreds of them."

Hu Yi frowned. He was originally a bandit, so he knew that it was not easy to recruit bandits.

The Eighth Route Army has also recruited many bandits. Under the muzzle of black holes, it is not difficult to recruit, but it is difficult to get the bandits to observe discipline.Most of these bandits rebelled against the Eighth Route Army again because they couldn't stand the hardships of the Eighth Route Army.

It is very important that bandits with a bit of national integrity know that loyalty, filial piety and righteousness can sincerely fight against Japan, while most bandits have no culture at all and only have money in their eyes. There is no such thing as patriotism and resistance to Japan.

After all, from the days of three meals a day with wine, meat, and women, suddenly to the days when millet porridge and steamed buns are eaten twice a day, and sometimes even pickles are not even available, how can the bandits endure the hardship!

Since entering the plains last year, Hu Yi has understood that the plains have always been poor, rich and powerful. When the troubled times came, the rich landlords bought guns one after another, recruited soldiers and horses nearby, and established landlord armed forces. Their purpose is very simple. After the road, there is nothing wrong with setting up armed forces to protect your homeland. This kind of team is easier to recruit.

Those sects of Taoism are much more difficult to deal with. Most of the leaders proclaim themselves gods and gods, fooling the common people to follow them to believe in gods, worship immortals, and believe in foreign gods, not to mention resisting Japanese and invaders. Bless, let alone those people who have nothing to do with them.

Gao Yidao couldn't bear it any longer: "Let's just say it, how are you going to do it? We have so many people here, we can't just sit in the village all day for nothing, right?"

Captain Yang was stunned for a moment: "I said, don't look at me like this. This is an order from your superiors. I invite you to come this time. First, I want to use your strength to wipe out those reactionary sectarian armed forces operating in various villages. Those who are not blood-stained, try to include them, or at least keep them neutral."

"You mean we help you get rid of that group of people surnamed Wang who know how to arm themselves?"

Captain Yang shook his head: "Although Wang Taigong and the others voted for the devils, they still use the banner of the national army. For the time being, we can't do anything to him."

Gao Yidao couldn't help sarcasm: "According to you, after the surrender of the national army, they were all in Cao Ying and their hearts were in the Han? Since he is a bandit who has taken refuge in the devil, his plan will not be very good. I don't care if he is a Han or not. It's a traitor, and our eighth road is dedicated to eliminating traitors, who dares to say that we are not?"

Captain Yang thought for a while: "We have discussed this matter. What the superiors mean is that we first secretly recruit a team determined to resist the Japanese, and go to fight against these shameless traitors!"

"Who came up with such a vile idea? It couldn't be the leader of your division, could it?"

"How is it possible? The head of the division asked us to do everything possible to counter the mopping up. I'm just responsible for responding to you." Speaking of this, Captain Yang shook his head again: "As for how to fight, the superior asked me to listen to you, er, to be honest, you come here so quickly People...can't help."

Hu Yi kept looking at the map and thinking about it, but he didn't expect that the two of them talked about it for a long time, and they even talked about their old business.

Regarding pretending to be bandits, Hu Yi didn't take it seriously at all. He didn't have the heart to waste time with Captain Yang, so he went straight to the point: "Does it need to be recruited? The head of Heihuzhai is not far from us!"

Captain Yang didn't understand, so he asked, "What?"

Gao Yidao has a black line on his head, it's hard to say clearly, so he gave Hu Yi a hard look: "Hehe, then... just tell me, what do you want to do?"

Hu Yi thought for a while: "It's useless to talk too much. In this world, the bandits have become commanders and county magistrates. You can't beat the county seat no matter how high you are. If this is the case, let's arm the Huidaomen in these ten miles and eight villages. Let's level up first."

Gao Yidao said bluntly: "Who said I can't beat the county? It's just that I want to save my strength now. Besides, I don't know what kind of virtue he is a bandit? If he doesn't come out in three or two days to tie up a ticket for an event and grab something, he will still Can you be called a bandit?"

Hu Yi said indifferently: "Then split up. I will lead a company of soldiers to sweep across the surrounding villages. Wouldn't it be over if you go to the county town to guard the bandits out of the city?"

When it came to the specific battle, Gao Yidao immediately disappeared without a smile, lowered his head and focused on the map on the ground, and was silent for a while: "When will it start?"

"Then start tomorrow? I will wipe out the Huidaomen, bandits, and landlords in Shili Baxiang. Captain Yang will lead people to guard and educate the prisoners."

"I have no objection." Captain Yang thought for a while.

Gao Yidao was not happy: "You have a good idea. If I go to wait for the rabbit, if the bandits don't come out of the city, wouldn't my work with hundreds of people be in vain? Besides, if you suppress the bandits, it's easy to deal with them if you capture them, eat, drink, and scatter. I'm 100 How to solve the problem of food for many people”

There was a sound of footsteps entering the yard.

Panting, a soldier interrupted the conversation between the three: "Report, the intelligence agent sent a message and found the whereabouts of Wang Taigong's team."

Thank you brothers for your rewards. There will be another update later.
