Chapter 703 Puppet Army Problem
During the Anti-Japanese War, on the Chinese battlefield, there were basically more than 100 million Japanese troops, but the puppet troops who took refuge in them included 350 million regular troops with numbers, not including millions of various security teams, police and other The local armed forces, these traitors, caused even more damage to the Chinese army and civilians than the Japanese army.

The danger of the puppet army is not only because of their large number, but the most important thing is that their garrisons in many places are locals. They are familiar with the people's conditions and terrain, and they pose a greater threat to the Japanese army and civilians.

In enemy-occupied areas, under normal circumstances, there are only a few dozen Japanese military police in a county, but there are hundreds or even thousands of puppet troops. The Japanese rely on them to maintain their rule over the Chinese people.

Among these traitors, some surrendered to the national army, most of them were local landlords, bullies, hooligans, hooligans, and vagrants.

In peaceful times, they are the cancer of society.Now relying on the power of the Japanese, they are doing all kinds of evil.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, a large number of Japanese troops were transferred from the Chinese battlefield, and their strength was stretched, so they increased their support for the puppet army.

On the one hand, they offered generous conditions to recruit the rebels and generals of the national army. On the other hand, they recruited a large number of ruffians, hooligans, and scoundrels in the society, and armed them, so that the number of puppet troops reached its peak in 1943.

Xiaozhangzhuang, Qingyuan County, Baoding.

Under the protection of a group of guards, Ma Yaozi, the commander of the Third Independent Brigade of the Puppet Peace Army, came to the threshing field outside the village.

On the threshing field, more than 400 villagers in Xiaozhangzhuang were surrounded by puppet troops.

Ma Yaozi pointed at the crowd with his horsewhip and said, "You bastards, how dare you collude with the underground party. I'll give you a chance to hand over the underground party you hid, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

At this time, an elderly man among the villagers said: "

Ma Yaozi, stop messing around here.You were not a good thing when you were young, and you became a bandit when you grew up, harming the people, and now you are a dog for the Japanese, bullying the villagers, you are simply not human. "

"That's right, this kid is just like his father, he was not a good thing since he was a child." The villagers also said one after another.

Ma Yaozi is a villager in this village, his father was originally a local ruffian and scoundrel, and he followed his father since he was a child and did not do any good things.After his father died, he became a bandit.When the devil came, he took refuge in the devil.

This time, he got the news that an underground party from his village had returned to the village, so he led people to surround the village and forced the villagers to hand him over.

Ma Yaozi said to the old man: "Hu Laoman, you old coffin, why aren't you dead yet? Since you are in the early stage, then tell me, where is Li Changshui?"

Li Changshui is an underground party that went out of their village, and is one of the leaders of the underground party in Qingyuan County.

Hu Laoman said disdainfully: "Changshui has been out for many years, but I haven't seen him come back. I haven't seen him."

The villagers also said: "Yes, Changshui hasn't come back for a long time."

Ma Yaozi said: "You rascals, I have received accurate information. Some people saw Li Changshui return to the village with their own eyes, but they didn't see him leave."

An elderly woman said, "Which shameless person chews his tongue? Tell him to come out and confront everyone."

The villagers echoed in eagerness.

Ma Yaozi was very angry, pointed at Hu Laoman with a horsewhip, and said, "Get that old thing out for me."

Two puppet soldiers stepped forward and grabbed Hu Laoman and pushed him out.

Ma Yaozi said: "I'll give you a chance, old man, quickly hand over Li Changshui, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Hu Laoman dismissed it and said, "Ma Yaozi, what else do you want?"

Ma Yaozi waved the whip in his hand, and said, "Beat me until he hands you over."

Several puppet soldiers punched and kicked Hu Laoman, and some people smashed him with gun butts.

Soon, Hu Laoman was knocked down to the ground, bleeding from his nose and the corners of his mouth.

"Ma Yaozi, what are you doing, you bastard? How dare you beat your fellow villagers." The villagers were very angry and shouted one after another.

Ma Yaozi became furious, took out his pistol, aimed at Hu Laoman and said, "Old man, if you don't say anything, I will kill you with one shot."

Hu Laoman was not afraid, and spit a mouthful of bloody saliva on his face.

With a snap, Ma Yaozi actually shot.

Blood spurted from Hu Laoman's chest. He pointed at Ma Yaozi and said, "You bastard!" Then he fell down.

"Father." A middle-aged woman rushed out with a scream. She stepped forward and hugged Hu Laoman, shouting desperately.

Seeing that he was no longer breathing, she was very angry, stood up, and roared: "Ma Yaozi, I will fight you." Then she rushed towards Ma Yaozi.

Ma Yaozi raised his hand and shot again, knocking the woman down as well.

The villagers were all angry, roaring and rushing up.

Ma Yaozi raised his gun and fired two shots into the sky, shouting: "The machine gun is ready, if you don't hand it over, don't blame me for being rude."

"Stop, don't embarrass the folks." At this moment, someone shouted loudly.

Then a young man jumped off the roof of a room.

Seeing Li Changshui coming out, Ma Yaozi asked his subordinates to tie him up, and then left Xiaozhangzhuang with the team.

The Fourth Military Division of Jizhong Military Region
After the commander Cui Zhenshan and the political commissar Wang Gan learned the news, they led the main force of the three regiments to besiege Qingyuan County, determined to eliminate the pseudo-independent brigade entrenched here.

Ma Yaozi commanded his subordinates to resist desperately. Since Baoding was relatively close to this place, the Japanese independent and mixed second brigade sent troops to reinforce them. Cui Zhenshan and others had to withdraw from the battle.

After returning to the station, Wang Gan, the political commissar, said: "Commander, don't you have friendship with the Jiu Ye from Taohuashan? I heard that he came to Beiping and when he returned to Taohuashan, he might pass by us. You and Let him get in touch and ask him to help us get rid of Ma Yaozi."

Cui Zhenshan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Master Jiu's Peach Blossom Mountain Special Forces is a first-class main force, as long as they help, not to mention Ma Yaozi, even the devils in Baoding City, we are not afraid of them.

I will send a telegram to the Jizhong Military Region, asking them to contact Gao Jiuye. "

At this time, after Gao Jiu and the others left Beiping, they were returning to Shandong along the Zhengtai Highway.

Their route this time is going to pass through Baoding, SJZ and other places.

Gao Jiu received a telegram from the leader of the Jizhong Military Region, and he led the Taohuashan Special Forces to Sanshui Village in Qingyuan County, where the Fourth Military Division of the Jizhong Military Region is located.

At the fork in the road two kilometers northeast of Sanshui Village, a group of underground party officers and soldiers had already been waiting there, headed by Wang Shuanzi, the former commander of the First Regiment of the Fourth Army Division who had fought side by side with Gao Jiu, who watched from a distance. Arriving at the majestic and majestic cavalry troops on Taohua Mountain, I was amazed and said to myself: "Master Jiu's team is majestic."

Seeing Gao Jiu and the others approaching, he hurried forward to meet him, and said cordially, "Jiuye, long time no see, don't come here without any problems."

Gao Jiu stepped forward to hold Wang Shuanzi's hand, and said cordially, "Brother Shuanzi, how are you, Commander Cui?"

Wang Shuanzi and Gao Jiu chatted while walking, and soon came to Sanshui Village, where they were warmly received by Cui Zhenshan and Wang Gan.

After the reception banquet, Gao Jiu, Zhang Quan, Wang Zhankui and others held a joint meeting with Cui Zhenshan, Wang Gan, Wang Shuanzi and others to discuss matters related to attacking Qingyuan County.

Wang Shuanzi first introduced the enemy situation in Baoding area.

In Qingyuan County, more than [-] members of the Independent Brigade of the Puppet Army, more than [-] members of the Japanese Gendarmerie, and about [-] members of the Puppet Police and the Peace Army Brigade were stationed.

After the battle started, they could receive reinforcements from the Second Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army in Baoding and the Eighth Army of the Puppet Peace Army.

What Gao Jiu hated the most was the massacre of innocent civilians by the Japanese puppet army. Since he caught up with this matter, Ma Yaozi would die.

Gao Jiu decided to use this incident to make a big fuss, to severely frighten those puppet soldiers who betrayed their country and defected to the enemy.

He said: "Commander Cui, Political Commissar Wang, and Chief of Staff Wang, you boldly attack Qingyuan County. The enemy's reinforcements coming from Baoding will be handled by our Taohuashan guerrillas."

Political commissar Wang Gan was not familiar with Gao Jiu, so he said worriedly: "Master Jiu, there are more than 1 devils and more than 2 puppet troops in Baoding City. Block them. Besides, there are more than 1000 puppet troops in Qingyuan County, and we may not be able to defeat them only by relying on our Fourth Army Division."

Both Cui Zhenshan and Wang Shuanzi believed in Gao Jiu, Cui Zhenshan said, "Old Wang, you don't have to worry, since Master Jiu said so, let's just fight as usual."

Wang Shuanzi also said: "Yes, according to what Master Jiu said, it must be true."

Wang Qian was still a little worried. To attack Qingyuan County, after all, he had to use all the main force of the Fourth Army Division, plus the county brigade.

This is the foundation of the Fourth Military Division. If this battle is defeated, it will be difficult for the Fourth Military Division to recover in the future.

He said, "Master Jiu, what is your plan? Can you tell us in detail?"

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Japanese and puppet troops in Baoding City dare not come to reinforce them. Although there are many Japanese and puppet troops in Qingyuan County, there are no snakes without heads. Ma Yaozi and his main officers were all arrested. Killed, the people under him are like a mess. Are you still not sure about dealing with such an army?"

Cui Zhenshan and Wang Shuanzi became excited when they heard this, and they said: "If this is the case, we will keep attacking Qingyuan County and wipe out all the Japanese and puppet troops inside."

Wang Gan still didn't understand how Gao Jiu could do this, he hesitated and asked, "Master Jiu, Qingyuan County is so close to Baoding, why don't the devils and the puppet army come to reinforce it? And what about Ma Yaozi and the others?" Will it be killed?"

Zhang Quan was not happy seeing him being so verbose. He said, "Commissioner Wang, what do you mean? Don't you believe what my ninth master said?"

Cui Zhenshan hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Old Wang, don't talk about it anymore. Master Jiu said, then we can definitely do it. Let's quickly mobilize our troops and prepare to attack Qingyuan County."

Beiping North China Front Army Special High School.

Hamada Yoshito helped Terauchi Shouichi solve a big problem, and was reused by Terauchi Shouichi. He praised Hamada Yoshito on the spot and said that he would be promoted if he had the opportunity in the future.

Yoshito Hamada is very grateful to Gao Jiu, because Gao Jiu's trip to Beiping made him a confidant of General Kotobuki in the temple, and made a small fortune.

He was in a good mood, and after dinner that day, he took a few of his confidants to a Japanese guild hall to enjoy singing and dancing.

Yoshito Hamada was drinking while enjoying the singing and dancing. Seeing the excitement, he couldn't help but also stepped forward to dance with the geisha.

At this time, one of his confidants came in and nodded vigorously towards Hamada Yoshiichi.

Hamada Yoshito didn't know what happened, so he stopped and walked into the next room.

That confidant whispered in Hamada Yoshito's ear for a while.

Hamada Yoshihiro smiled wryly, and said, "Gao Jiu really doesn't stop. Hurry up and prepare the car, and go to see His Excellency the Chief of Staff now."

Soon after, Hamada Yoshito arrived at the residence of the Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army and reported to him the contents of Gao Jiu's telegram.

The chief of staff asked: "Hamada-kun, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Yoshito Hamada said: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, this matter is really not that Gao Jiu is against us. His bottom line is not to massacre innocent people. Back then, innocent people were massacred because of Shimada and Ayumi Hamasaki. What happened in the end There was a lot of trouble until Shimada, Hamasaki and others were all executed.

This time the Peace Army killed innocent people again, Gao Jiu will definitely not let it go,

We finally reached an agreement with Gao Jiu, and we did not interfere with each other, so we settled down.

There are tens of thousands of regular troops and many armed guerrillas in the underground party area in central Jizhong.If we don't agree to Gao Jiu's request, and he colludes with the underground party there, I'm afraid the entire Jizhong area will be uneasy.

Therefore, Beizhi suggested to agree to Gao Jiu's request. "

The chief of staff nodded and said: "You are right, we must cherish the peaceful environment we have finally obtained, and we must not lose the big because of small things. Let this matter be handled by you.

You can do it with confidence and boldly. If I talk to the Commander, he will definitely agree. "

That night, Major General Toyoda, the supreme commander of the Japanese army stationed in Baoding and head of the Second Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese army, received a call from Yoshito Hamada.Toyota stated that it obeyed the order of the North China Expeditionary Army Command and resolved the matter according to Yoshito Hamada's opinion.

That night, Ma Yaozi, who was in Qingyuan County, received a notice from the headquarters of the Second Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army in Baoding City, asking him to lead officers above the regiment to Baoding at 8:[-] tomorrow morning to participate in the headquarters of the Second Independent Mixed Brigade. War meeting held.For their safety, Qingyuan County Gendarmerie was responsible for escorting them.

At 6:30 the next morning, Ma Yaozi and others left Qingyuan County on horseback, and were escorted by the Qingyuan Gendarmerie to Baoding.

About 10 kilometers away from Qingyuan County, a group of Japanese cavalry appeared in front of them. The Japanese gendarmerie suddenly unloaded the guns of Ma Yaozi and others, handed them over to the Japanese cavalry in front, and brought Li Changshui It was also handed over to them.

Then the gendarmerie of the Japanese army continued to drive towards Baoding.

This team of Japanese cavalry is the Taohuashan guerrillas, led by Li Chengwu.They escorted Ma Yaozi and others to Sanshui Village.

Seeing Ma Yaozi, the commander of the Independent Brigade of the Puppet Army, and his main officers who were bundled into a group, Wang Gan, the political commissar of the military division, said with emotion: "Jiu Ye is Jiu Ye, even devils obey your command."

Cui Zhenshan was very excited, and immediately said: "Order the troops to surround Qingyuan County immediately."
