Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 293
Regarding the personnel going to Changzhi, Wang Yigong and Gao Zhiheng had a dispute.

According to Wang Yigong's original intention, it was enough to take the hundred or so people from the Second Battalion to Changzhi.

However, Gao Zhiheng insisted on letting him take the guards of the regiment headquarters with him.

The Fourth Regiment deployed defenses in the west of Cixian County. From the perspective of the overall defensive deployment, the first battalion aimed at the south and deployed defenses in the Qijialing area on the north bank of the Zhanghe River, and the third battalion aimed at the Japanese troops in the east and deployed defenses around Pengcheng Town.

The regiment headquarters is located in the middle, and along with the regiment headquarters are the second battalion, the guard company, the artillery company, the supply company and other directly subordinate teams.

"I took the guards away, what about the West Garden? There are many prisoners of the puppet army!" Wang Yigong said worriedly.

"Don't worry, with me here, some captives can turn upside down. Besides, there are still comrades from the artillery company and the directly subordinate team. The situation in Changzhi is unknown. After you arrive, be careful!" Gao Zhiheng Knowing that Wang Yigong was in a hurry, he couldn't wait until tomorrow to call the troops, so he asked him to bring more people.

That night, Wang Yigong summoned a total of more than [-] soldiers from the guard company and the second battalion to rush to Changzhi at night.

Starting from Xihuayuan, if you want to reach Changzhi, you must pass through Pingshun, and the middle road is more than [-] miles long.

Given the departure time of Wang Yigong and his party, they will definitely not be able to make it before dawn.

In Pingshun County on the northeast side of Changzhi, the sky was already bright at this time, and Wang Yigong and others temporarily hid in a mountain forest to rest.

In the forest, the two leaned against a tree each.

"Comrade Wen He, how far is it from the destination?" Wang Yigong asked.

Zhao Wenhe is the liaison officer comrade who came all the way from Changzhi, and Zhao Wenhe said: "This is the Qi Family Temple in Pingshun, and about [-] miles to the east is the junction of Changzhi and Pingshun , walk fifteen miles along the foot of the mountain to the back ditch, where the little devil threw all the bodies of his comrades!"

"The little devil sent the plainclothes team to watch over there every day, and they couldn't hide any trouble!" Zhao Wenhe said bitterly.

"If it's in the way, kill them!" Wang Yigong's eyes flashed fiercely.

That afternoon, Wang Yigong and his team arrived at a large mountain near Hougou.

A comrade from the local district committee personally led people to squat here.

Several comrades from our side came out to greet them in person when they received the news. Zhao Wenhe stepped forward and introduced: "Regimental Commander Wang, this is Comrade Zhao Wenjiang who is in charge of the military movement of the district committee!"

"Regimental Commander Wang, I have admired your name for a long time, and your four regiments are very powerful in Changzhi!" Zhao Wenjiang looked in his early thirties, with a Chinese character face and heavy eyebrows.

"Comrade Wenjiang, thank you very much this time!" Wang Yigong didn't say much, and directly saluted him.

"Let's go, let's go to the mountain and introduce the current situation to you!" Zhao Wenjiang said.

A group of people entered the mountain, and local comrades used a cave as a gathering place.

A firewood stove was set up in the cave, and a layer of corn stalks was piled inside, showing that it was used as a bed, nothing more.

Wang Yigong was quite surprised when he saw such a crude environment. Needless to say, the National Army, even in Tainan, most local comrades gathered in Fortress Village, and the office was even set up in Yetao Town. .

"You're laughing, the conditions are a bit crude!" Zhao Wenjiang said with a smile.

"Changzhi is an important town for the Japanese army, and they have a strong control over the surrounding area. The Japanese army, the puppet army, and the traitors are active in the city and outside the suburbs. We can only operate in the smooth land. Without the support of the main force, we have been surrounded by the enemy. Run away, and change places every few days, this is because your main force made a big commotion here a while ago, and our life will be easier!"

Wang Yigong nodded, and then said: "Changzhi is not a base after all, you have worked hard!"

"Whether it's hard work or not, comrades are used to it!"

"Speaking of business, the remains of comrades are all in the back ditch. This area has always been our activity area. Now it seems that the little devil did it on purpose, just waiting for our action. That night I led the guerrillas to try to kill comrades." The body was transported out, luckily a few investigators were sent in first, otherwise it would all be folded inside!"

"According to the information obtained after the investigation, the plainclothes team was responsible for tracking, and the puppet army was responsible for encircling and suppressing. The puppet army's hiding place is Shangzhuang Village. The puppet army will be dispatched upon receiving the signal from the plainclothes team. As soon as this group of puppet troops come The village was blocked, so the fortress households in the village failed to spread the news!"

"Only the puppet army, no Japanese army?" Wang Yigong asked.

"Only the puppet army. In order to avoid the kid playing tricks, I sent people to check the surrounding area, and there is nothing unusual!" Zhao Wenjiang said with certainty.

"That's easy, kill them directly, and do it tonight!" Wang Yigong stood up and said.

In fact, this move was entirely an act of revenge by the Japanese army. After the battle at Shentouling, the Eighth Route Army units withdrew one after another, and the Japanese army in Changzhi dared to act.

But the Japanese army in Changzhi was also afraid of being beaten, and I am afraid that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is still here.

Therefore, a plainclothes team and more than a hundred puppet troops were sent to carry out this operation, specifically targeting our guerrillas who have been constantly active in the local area.

Wang Yigong never procrastinated in his work, and immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare dinner, and they would do it as soon as it got dark.

That night, more than [-] fighters from the Fourth Regiment, together with about [-] guerrillas, were divided into two groups.

Along the way, the guard company set up an ambush on the small road leading to Hougou from Shangzhuang Village. On the way, Wang Yigong led the second battalion and most of the guerrillas and went straight to Hougou.

Hougou, extending for more than ten miles in the east-west direction, is a local mass grave, where the bodies of people who died violently at home and visitors from other places were mostly thrown here.

A dozen or so members of the plainclothes team built a thatched shed on the south side of Hougou.

Inside the thatched hut, a kerosene lamp was hung above, a table was placed on the ground, and three dice were thrown in a pottery bowl.

"big big big!"

"Haha, I won!"

"The captain is really lucky!"

"That's right, I've been playing dice since I was thirteen years old, relying on my ability to listen and argue!" the plainclothes captain said quite proudly.

It didn't take long for the plainclothes men to lose all their money.

"Are you still playing? I'll lend you some more!"

"Farewell, Captain, I already owe you twelve dollars." The plainclothes stopped quickly.

"Captain, here in the wilderness, if you want to eat or drink, it's too boring to stay here. I think the guerrillas will not dare to come again after suffering a loss. When are we going to retreat?" a plainclothes complained. .

Several plainclothes people on the side responded to the drink one after another.

"That's right, they are also doing business for the Japanese, and the Imperial Association Army eats and drinks hot food in the village. We will suffer in this ghost place!"

The plainclothes captain's face darkened. He didn't think it was a hard job to keep an eye on here. He could get benefits without having to fight the Eighth Route Army head-on. What a wonderful thing!
"Whether you can retreat, when to retreat, I don't care, it depends on what the imperial army wants, but I think the guerrillas are very slippery, and they will definitely not come back after suffering a loss, and they will retreat soon!"

"Wait until this operation is over and the imperial army's reward comes down, then let's go and have fun!"
