In the stronghold of Guanshan Town, Captain Yoshida was in a bad mood.

I was woken up by my subordinates in the middle of the night last night to deal with the possible attack of the Eighth Route Army on the stronghold of Zhouzhuang.

After working for several hours, there was a false alarm, and the Zhouzhuang stronghold was not attacked.

I was just about to squint for a while and sleep back, but I was woken up by my subordinates again.

"Sir, the Zhouzhuang stronghold reported that they were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army and blocked inside the stronghold." The second lieutenant reported with a serious face.

"The Eighth Route Army built a defensive line at a distance of 500 meters from the stronghold, connected the stronghold to the outside road, blocked the ditch, and blocked the wall, all of which were cut off."

"The troops were in the defensive line, and as long as any troops left the stronghold, they were immediately attacked by the Eighth Route Army, not only with rifles and light machine guns, but also with heavy machine guns and mortars, and the firepower was very strong."

"Because of the insufficient garrison in the stronghold, they can only watch the Eighth Route Army strengthen the defensive line."

"I hope we can send mobile troops to reinforce them, and fight inside and outside to kill the Eighth Route Army blocking the gate of the stronghold, or ask for aviation reinforcements to blow up the Eighth Route Army blocked outside the stronghold and open up the passage in and out of the stronghold."

Captain Yoshida's anger rose all at once, and his eyes were red as if he could breathe fire.

What the Eighth Route Army did in the stronghold of Zhouzhuang was definitely a slap in the face.

If you spread the word, you will definitely become the laughing stock of your colleagues.

You must know that on the battlefield in China, it has always been the imperial army chasing the Chinese army.

Now, as a member of the imperial army, his subordinates are not only chased and beaten by the Eighth Route Army, but also blocked at the gate of the stronghold and dare not go out, and more importantly, they can't send reinforcements yet, so they can only hide in the stronghold together as shrinking turtles.

Because this operation clearly showed that it was a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army to force the mobile troops out of Guanshan Town, so that they could use guerrilla warfare to consume the strength of the mobile troops.

"Sir, something happened to the Zhongcun stronghold." A Cao Chang rushed in and reported.

"There was the Eighth Route Army that built a defensive line outside the stronghold, cut off their roads in and out of the stronghold, blocked the ditch, and blocked the wall."

"Because there are too few imperial troops stationed in the stronghold, they have almost no offensive ability, so they can only hold the stronghold and watch the Eighth Route Army build a defensive line."

The deputy captain walked in and asked anxiously: "Sir, we must act, the garrison is huddled in the stronghold and cannot move, they will lose their deterrent power against the nearby Chinese, the nearby blockade ditch and blockade wall will also become decorations, and the two strongholds will lose their meaning of existence."

Captain Yoshida was very aggrieved, but he still stubbornly ordered: "The mobile troops will not move......

"Don't you see? The Eighth Route Army was a typical encirclement point reinforcement, forcing us to mobilize our troops and then use guerrilla warfare to attack them. ”

"I'm sure that when the mobile troops reach the stronghold, the Eighth Route Army that is besieging the stronghold will definitely retreat in advance."

"The mobile force retreats to Guanshan Town, and they will also return to their stronghold, forcing the mobile force to continue to dispatch and continue to consume their forces until the mobile force loses its combat effectiveness."

"So we can't be fooled, it's still my previous order: without absolute certainty, the mobile troops must not rush to attack."

Two days later, the Dawangzhuang maintenance committee slowly approached the Zhouzhuang stronghold with ten carts full of grain.

The Eighth Route Army on the defensive line and the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold all saw it.

"Don't move the troops for the time being!" A platoon commander crouched in the trench and ordered.

"When the convoy walked twenty meters in front of us, the four platoons rushed out directly, dispersed the escort maintenance committee, and seized the grain!"

In the stronghold turret, the team leader had a solemn face, as if he had seen what was going to happen next.

The subordinates stood next to him and shouted anxiously: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, they are outside the stronghold, and the food handed over to us at the maintenance meeting cannot be sent in, and the Eighth Route Army is cheap for nothing?" ”

"They are stealing food from our mouths, they are too arrogant."

"Guanshan Town doesn't plan to send us military rations anymore, the food that will be sent by the maintenance will be our future military rations, if it is intercepted by the Eighth Route Army, we will be hungry ......"

"Shut up...... the team leader scolded with a calm face.

"Don't you know these situations, but there are so many garrisons in the stronghold, what can we do!"

As he spoke, the Eighth Route Army outside the stronghold had already begun to move.

More than 30 Eighth Route Army, armed with rifles with good bayonets, rushed out of the position with a roar.

The maintenance of escort food will scare and scare the common people, but when it encounters the real Eighth Route Army, it will definitely slip faster than a rabbit.

Leaving the cart and running for their lives, no one dared to fight back......

In the stronghold of Guanshan Town, the second lieutenant in charge of communications just put down the phone, and his face sank.

"Sir, something happened to the Zhouzhuang stronghold again."

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Dawangzhuang Maintenance Association was ordered to escort more than 20,000 catties of grain to the stronghold, but it was stopped by the Eighth Route Army at the gate of the stronghold and snatched away."

"The garrison of the stronghold has no ability to attack, so they can only watch as the Eighth Route Army disperses the escort troops and steals food at the gate of the stronghold."

"What?" Captain Yoshida couldn't sit still, and his face sank.

became more and more solemn, and finally suddenly realized and shouted: "I understand, the Eighth Route Army sent troops to block the stronghold, in addition to forcing us to mobilize troops and encircle the stronghold to send reinforcements, we can also intercept the food that the maintenance association was ordered to send to the stronghold." ”

"The grain was robbed by the Eighth Route Army at the gate of the stronghold, and the responsibility is not on the maintenance meeting, and the imperial army has no excuse for wanting to trouble them and make an example of the monkeys."

"What a cunning Eighth Route Army."

The deputy captain analyzed: "Sir, there is only one way left!" ”

"Let the village maintenance councils gather the grain together, and then send out the troops to personally escort and send the grain back to the stronghold."

Captain Yoshida's head shook like a rattle, and he refused without thinking, "No." ”

"In that case, the attacking troops will be too far away from the stronghold, and the Eighth Route Army will definitely set up a net on the road, waiting for us to drill into it, and then continue to attack us."

"I don't want to consume the last bit of mobile troops in my hand for food."

The vice captain wrinkled his brows, racking his brains and couldn't think of a second way, and finally shook his head and replied helplessly: "Then what should I do?" ”

"Grain requisition is an order from above, and we must carry it out."

"And this food is our military food for the next year, if we let the Eighth Route Army rob it all, we will be hungry."

"There are also two strongholds in Zhouzhuang and Zhongcun, and their stockpiles of military rations are only enough to last for five days."

"The Eighth Route Army is blocked outside the stronghold, not allowing food to enter the stronghold, and in five days, the stronghold will run out of food, so we can't let the troops go hungry to fight!"

"The Imperial Army may be able to hold out for a while, and the Imperial Allied Army will definitely collapse on the spot."

"When the time comes, there is no need for the Eighth Route Army to attack, and the two strongholds will be over."

Captain Yoshida seemed to have thought of a way, his furrowed brows slowly stretched, and a pair of eyes shot out two fine lights, and then replied.

"Mobile units must not be too far from their strongholds."

"That's looking for death by yourself and giving the Eighth Route Army war exploits in vain."

"I decided to grab food from the Eighth Route Army at the gate of the stronghold."

"Inform all the maintenance councils: the order to escort the grain will not change, and those who do not want to be settled by the imperial army after the autumn will obediently send the grain to the nearest stronghold. The Imperial Army would send troops to defeat the Eighth Route Army guarding outside the stronghold and receive food. ”

"Order the mobile force to be divided into three, one part will stay in Guanshan Town, and the other two reinforcement teams will set off now, and march urgently to reinforce the two strongholds of Zhouzhuang and Zhongcun, and assist the garrison of the stronghold to grab food with the Eighth Route Army at the gate of the stronghold."
