under fire

Chapter 973
In the distance, the Devil's machine gun position is looming.

Officer Zheng took up his post as a staff officer and mixed in with the civilian staff accompanying Master Jing, looking around from time to time.

Nearby, the puppet army after rejecting the horse was collecting the weapons of the surrendered soldiers.

At every exit, the voices of the puppet troops who received the surrender shouted: "Officers above the regiment level are allowed to wear small pistols."

"Those who wear shell guns must also be turned in. All guns, bullets, bayonets, grenades, etc. of other rifles and machine guns must be confiscated."

"Don't worry everyone, after the reorganization is completed, we will distribute guns and ammunition to everyone"

Officer Zheng looked at the piles of rifles, machine guns, and shells that had not been opened, and boxes of bullets piled up into hills.

I couldn't help feeling bitter in my heart, if the Eighth Route Army had such good equipment, why would they be afraid of those little devils next to them?

And the rifles and machine guns that are so good are just the equipment of the friendly army of motley crews. It is really infuriating to compare people with others.
Officer Zheng seemed to have sensed something and raised his head.

They exchanged glances with Master Jing who was looking over, and both shook their heads helplessly.

After Mr. Jing revealed his identity, the small pistols of the two were not confiscated, and all the accompanying guards were disarmed.

The two slowly walked out of Li Youcai's side.

Neither side knew the other.

The two puppet soldiers with submachine guns hanging on their chests waiting outside Juma immediately followed, walking directly behind Master Jing.

An officer of the puppet army who was in charge of reception stepped forward: "Mr. Jing, don't come here without any problems."

"You know me?" Master Jing was taken aback for a moment, and had no impression of the person in front of him at all.

"My surname is Wang, and I am the commander of the Xinglong Town Public Security Corps. I should call you sir." Commander Wang seemed to be in a good mood.

When this man mentioned Xinglong Town, Li Youcai, who was standing beside the horse, was taken aback for a moment.

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Captain Wang.
The world is big, but it's also small. I didn't expect this person to be there?

Thinking about Mei County as a model county for law and order, it is completely reasonable for this official to be promoted to a higher level.

It's just that I didn't expect that this person had already gone south and came here to receive the surrendered army.
It seems that if there are no exceptions, one regiment of these surrendered troops will be taken to Xinglong Town for reorganization!

This incident seems to be different from what I heard just now. The surrendered army should be sent to Kaifeng for reorganization, right?
Fortunately, I have never met with Julongzhen, the head of Wang, before. Logically speaking, he should not know me.

Li Youcai couldn't help but secretly pay attention in his heart.

In fact, the dog traitor doesn't know at all, he is completely superior in the eyes of those security forces.

As the time goes.

The open space behind Juma was quickly filled with disarmed soldiers.

A group of busy puppet soldiers next to dozens of earthen stoves are burning the firewood under the cauldron.

A group of people in suits and leather shoes appeared out of nowhere and approached the surrendering team, with the spotlights in their hands flickering from time to time.

No one noticed, Master Jing inadvertently blocked Officer Zheng behind him.
Most villages on the plain lack vitality.

Even many villages are almost completely deserted.

The occupied area is sparsely populated.

Maeda was in a good mood. The imperial army was invincible, forcing an army to surrender in just three days.

If there is no accident, another upgrade is just around the corner.

Right now, the headquarters has formulated a new law and order plan, which just happens to show off its grand plans.

The Eighth Route guerrillas are active on the plains, and it is simply unrealistic to really catch some guerrillas. Since I am short of manpower, I will recruit these people to manage them.

With these imperial association troops, we should be able to achieve greater results in strengthening the security of the occupied areas.

The next security plan is to eliminate the rats in the occupied area.

As for those people in Chongqing playing tricks, do they really think the imperial army is blind?

Anyway, as long as the occupied area is kept stable for decades, these ordinary people will only recognize the imperial army in the future.

I am happy to see the Imperial Association Army and the Eight Route Army in the mountains singing opposite operas, which happens to be a good thing for the fisherman.

A friendly exchange with a group of generals on the stage in the village: "In the future, everyone will be a family, and the local security will have to be more worry-free."

The army commander's face was calm: "According to the previously agreed conditions, we are only responsible for local security and will not fight with the national army."

Letting you go to the front line is purely a burden, Maeda Shaozuo nodded: "Of course, come on, let's have a drink together, and the previous unpleasant things will be wiped away."

A group of people raised their wine glasses, and the spotlight next to them flickered again.

outside the village.

Almost no one came out of Yamaguchi, and Kamikawa Chiba returned to the motorcycle disappointed.

Originally, I had no hope of catching those eight ways, but in the end, I really didn't catch any of them, and my face was still full of regret.

Teams of puppet troops began to line up into the mountain, and searched again for the surrendered army station.

Time passed slowly.

A team of more than ten people came out of the mountain, and Chiba Kamikawa saw the leader at a glance.

With a flash in front of his eyes, he immediately got off the motorcycle and passed by, but refused to meet him immediately.

Huo Ran, who was walking in front of the team, was Shigenobu the devil, with a tired look on his face: "Mr. Shangchuan, I didn't expect to meet again after only one day."

Kamikawa Chiba smiled: "It seems that you also failed to catch the tails of those mice?"

Shigenobu nodded: "The surrender of the enemy troops caused the situation in the mountains to be too chaotic and delayed the time, so that the group of Eight Routes suddenly disappeared. However, don't worry, the Military Police Department has arranged for people to track down the whereabouts of the team, and there should be some soon information"

Before the words were finished, a motorcycle came to Shigenobu with its bright headlights shaking, and a ghost jumped off the motorcycle: "The warriors in the mountains urgently called, and they have found traces of the Tuba Road. Four hours ago, the Tuba Road went all the way to the west. I left the mountain and I am currently camping.”

Shigenobu nodded: "You have worked hard."

The devil who reported the letter jumped on the motorcycle and ran away.

Shigenobu looked away from the dark mountain: "Let's rest for one night first, and you will go into the mountain with me after dawn tomorrow."

Kamikawa Chiba did not agree: "Suggestion. It's best to split up, I plan to go to the gang of eight-way lairs"

The two didn't notice that on the motorcycle not far away, the dog traitor who had been pricking up his ears listened carefully to the voice coming from the mountain wind.

mountain stream.

A team of more than ten people sat in the darkness under the moonlight in the middle of the night, looking at the map with a flashlight to study the tracking problem.

The ghost soldier who was in charge of reconnaissance just came back lowered his voice: "...Tuba Road camped in the front of the mountain, in order not to attract their attention, so we didn't follow too closely."

"Good job." The second lieutenant who led the team nodded: "To sum up, there may be three destinations for the Land Eighth Road. First, go to the enemy's [-]th Army defense area. Although they don't know their purpose, there are ours over there." Inside, as long as they entered the [-]th army defense zone, they couldn't escape.

Second, after Tuba Road enters the deep mountains, it turns north to return to their rat nest. In this case, we don’t have to do anything for the time being, just follow them. Although this method is very passive, it is also the safest method. Third, they pass through the vast mountains Going to Taiyue, regardless of the possibility, we can only wait for now. "

The special high-level intelligence officer in the team shook his head: "I don't think waiting is the best way. I suggest immediately dispatching troops to encircle and suppress this group of land and Eight Routes, and directly interrogate the station of the Eight Routes Special Service Group from their mouths."

The second lieutenant shook his head: "You have to understand that this group of eight-way agents is not simple. Half a year ago, they ran back and forth across the entire Taihang Mountains for nearly [-] miles. It has been a month or two, and they probably don't even know where the eight-way secret service group is going. What's the matter, in order to eradicate these rats in one fell swoop, the headquarters has invested a huge amount of manpower and material resources, so be patient!"
