The country is broken

Before the raiding forces of the Japanese and puppet troops formed an encirclement, the 12th district team quickly made preparations for evacuation. All the weapons workshops were transferred to the hidden tunnels in the village, and the medical equipment and medicines in the hospital were also transferred in advance. All the work was carried out to cover up and deal with the aftermath. The walls were cleared, the important facilities and materials were hidden underground, and a large amount of food and ammunition were transported to the secret tunnels outside the village for storage. It seemed that there had never been any traces of these facilities and places in Shijing Village. .

Twenty miles away from Shijing Village, the faint sound of gunfire indicated that the peripheral security forces of the 12th District Team had engaged with the incoming enemy and were blocking and delaying the enemy's footsteps.

The transfer team of the 12th district team in Shijing Village is ready to go. Everyone's expression is very calm, and there is no panic because of the gunshots in the distance. Wang Bao is standing at the entrance of the village at this moment, and said to several communication soldiers: "press The original plan was that the second platoon would set out first to fight in the front, let the fourth and fifth platoons cover the third platoon and transfer first, and the first platoon would be in charge of the rear.”

In order to avoid going to the countryside with the enemy to mop up the main force and avoid fighting recklessly, causing unnecessary losses to the troops, the 12th District team had no choice but to be forced to transfer. Fortunately, running is a basic skill that the Eighth Route Army has learned since the Red Army, especially when it is usually It pays great attention to the practice of clearing the walls and clearing the field. The soldiers can pack up their things and set off directly.

Although the Japanese and puppet troops were numerous and powerful, they suffered a lot, and they couldn’t withstand the random gun attack of the Eighth Route Army. Half an hour after the transfer of the 12th district team, they completed their "warm welcome" to the Japanese and puppet troops. , the platoon responsible for blocking the interception moved from another direction with the wounded, and also attracted a large number of enemy troops. [

Shijing Village, which was once very popular, seems to have returned to the state before the 12th District Team was stationed. There are few people in the village, except for a few chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, which are still wandering in the village. It is deserted, as if the Eighth Route Army has never been stationed before. of.

In the village, the original district government was busy, and the district chief Ji Pingping did not follow the 12th district team to transfer.As an administrative cadre who is closely integrated with the masses, except for some work responsibilities, he is no different from the masses at ordinary times, and sometimes even holds meetings in the fields, doing farm work while holding meetings, and there is no special place like modern ones, serious meetings Way.

Smoke and dust rose outside the village, and the roar of Japanese military trucks was getting closer.On both sides of the road, Japanese and puppet infantry rushed to Shijing Village, the old nest of the 12th District Team.

Transferred from Manchuria, Squadron Captain Ono Erxiong, who served as the commander of this mopping mission, sat in the rickety military vehicle and said to himself: "Yo Xi! This time the security mopping up went very smoothly, the Eighth Route Army is simply unbearable." I really don’t know how the Eighth Route Army killed those idiots before.”

The Japanese and puppet troops transferred from several nearby strongholds by the superior were handed over to Erxiong Ono, an officer from the Kwantung Army, under the command of an officer from the Kwantung Army.

Since coming here, Squadron Captain Ono Erxiong heard that the Eighth Route Army in this area is extremely difficult to deal with. In the past, there were strongholds in the vicinity. Since this Eighth Route Army came here.In just a few months, more than ten strongholds were pulled out one by one.Even many surrounding strongholds were often attacked. If it weren't for the original squadron leader of the stronghold I was in, half of his head would be blown off by the Eighth Route Army.Otherwise, it would not be my turn to take the position of squadron leader.But from today's perspective, it's not that these Eighth Route Army's tactics are weird and extremely difficult. It should be that the original local officers are too capable. Very smooth.

When Squadron Captain Ono Erxiong thought of this, he couldn't help rubbing his chin proudly. Since he set off early this morning until now, he hasn't encountered any decent resistance, although sometimes he encounters strong resistance.But it was easy to break through Blocking Mei. If it weren't for the thunder that exploded from time to time, the army's advance speed could be faster.

However, what made Squadron Leader Ono a little dissatisfied was that up to now, no enemy's body had been found, only a lot of shells and bloodstains were found at the scene.

Suddenly the military vehicle slammed on the brakes, and the squadron leader Ono Erxiong leaned forward. If he hadn't reached out to support him in time, he would have almost hit the windshield of the car and knocked his nose crooked.Ono Erxiong, who came back to his senses, cursed loudly: "Baga!~You, why are you driving? Do you want to hit me to death?!"

The Japanese soldier who was the driver pointed to the front aggrievedly, and the military vehicles in front also stopped. If they didn't brake in time, they might crash into a bunch.

Knowing what was going on, and not in the mood to apologize to the driver, Ono Erxiong stretched out and shouted at the front: "What's going on?!"

"Report to Squadron Leader Ono! There is a group of people outside the village in front!" A cavalryman hurried back from the front of the team, reining in the horse's head.

"Is it the Eighth Route Army?!" Ono Erxiong immediately became nervous. A group of people appeared at the entrance of the village. Could it be that the Eighth Route Army was forced to desperately fight the Imperial Japanese Army? !

The cavalry replied: "It seems to be ordinary people!"

"Common people?!" Ono Erxiong was a little confused. In his impression, whenever he entered a Chinese village, those villagers would hide as far away as if they had seen a ghost. How could they be so bold? Standing at the entrance of the village.

"Send a team of soldiers to go up and have a look. The other troops will disperse to search, and the others will stop advancing and stay alert. Be careful, it may be a trap from the Eight Routes." Ono Erxiong still kept an eye out.

"Yes!" The cavalry shook the reins, and the horse ran forward in a hurry.

Immediately in front of the team, a small group of Japanese soldiers approached the villagers cautiously and nervously at the entrance of the village. They slashed left and right with Bai Huanghuang's bayonet, searched, and ran back. They ran directly in front of the military card of Erxiong Ono and reported: " Report to your Excellency, the squadron leader, there is no sign of the Eighth Route Army, and the villagers of Shijing Village are in front, and they are here to welcome us."

"What (what)?!" Ono Erxiong's eyes widened!The villagers in the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army actually lined up at the entrance of the village to welcome the Japanese army? !How could such a thing happen? !When I went to the village and summoned the whole village before, it was always frustrating, but now it's good, I took the initiative to send it to the front, I don't know if the villagers are stupid, or they are dazzled. [

Ono Erxiong was a little confused, but his curiosity still made him determined to go to the front to see what happened.

This Japanese and puppet army stationed outside Ishii Village. More than 1000 puppet soldiers surrounded Ishii Village tightly. Only then, under the protection of the soldiers, Ono Erxiong approached the village.

There is a banner on the old tree at the entrance of the village, which reads: "Welcome the Japanese Imperial Army to come to our village for guidance."

"Welcome, welcome! Warmly welcome!" On both sides of the road at the entrance of the village stood men, women and children in the village, waving colorful flags, and they looked like they were lining the road to greet each other. Although the voice and expression were powerful, it still made Erxiong Ono feel better , as if receiving a warm welcome from the villagers organized by the chairman of the maintenance association in the public security area.

As the saying goes, don’t hit a smiling person with your hand. Ono Erxiong squinted his eyes, and waved to the villagers next to him with elegance: "Hey, yo! Good people, big ones, children's ones, there will be sweets later."

A few young people in the village saw the Japanese soldiers approaching, showing hatred on their faces, but they were immediately pulled by the people around them, and whispered: "Hey, don't show your feet, just treat it as a monkey show." .”

Even the Japanese soldiers who entered the village were a little embarrassed to let go of their hands and feet and wantonly looting. They just stared at the chickens and ducks that occasionally wandered in the village and drool. Entered the village in a civilized and polite manner, and searched cautiously.

A well-dressed man in his 40s came out of the team, nodded and waved a flag, and said, "Welcome the imperial army to our village! Thank you for your hard work. My admiration for the imperial army is like the waves of the Yellow River... ..."

"Okay, good people, what's your name? The imperial army has rewards, hahaha!" Ono Erxiong was a little confused by the flattery of the visitor, and the Japanese adjutant and translator beside him were all wide-eyed. Bull's-eye, white sweat all over their bodies, neither of them expected that someone could flatter to such a degree of shame.

"My name is Ji Ping. I'm working as the president of the maintenance association! This is the work of the imperial army. Please invite the imperial army to sit in the village." Could it be that the villagers knew that the person in front of them was the district chief? Ji Ping almost always has the illusion that the person in front of him is an authentic traitor and running dog. Ji Ping, who has always been timid and cautious, usually hides it very well. He always uses his position and code name in administrative work and contact. Not much, neither the Japanese nor the puppet traitors could see that the man in front of him was actually a big fish.

Apparently he didn't expect that there was still a maintenance club here, and Nio Ono was obviously satisfied with the villagers' hospitality, so he followed the so-called "Maintenance Chairman" Ji Ping into the village.

The search of the Japanese army in the village did not find any valuable clues. It turned out that some important departments and facilities in the village had been carefully covered up and dusted. , camouflage skills are almost a compulsory course for these three platoons.

Because the usual secrecy work is relatively in place, it is difficult for the enemy's spies to enter the area of ​​Shijing Village. Even the monthly market is at most in the market area outside the village.The tunnel crossing in the village, the arsenal workshop and the health center are all covered by the high walls of the camp area, and the import and export of arms and raw materials are carried out secretly through the tunnel crossing outside the village, except for the soldiers of the 12th district team and the part of Shijing village The villagers, even the Japanese and puppet soldiers who came to steal the property of the 12th district team today, do not know that although the sparrows in this village are small, they have all internal organs and so many important industries
