His ideas were affirmed by the head of the regiment, and Huang Sheng's first reaction was to be happy!

But before the smile was revealed, a problem appeared in his mind!

Then he frowned and reminded: "Commander, there is a problem here!" ”

"One hundred catties of grain for one piece of information, after the news spreads, there must be a lot of ordinary people standing up! When the time comes, a village will collect dozens of pieces of information, and that will be very small! ”

"This means that each of our villages has to give thousands of catties of grain to the villagers as compensation!"

"A village is a few thousand catties, and there are one or two hundred villages in the entire Laiyuan, all of which add up to hundreds of thousands of catties of grain!"

"Wouldn't it be too much of a loss to exchange hundreds of catties of grain for intelligence, and in the end only eliminate a few hundred spy traitors!"

"Also, we can't get that much food!"

"Not to mention hundreds of thousands of catties, now I can't even take out 10,000 catties!"

"Those traitor spies are too cunning, relying on us to divide the troops during this time, and the floating wealth and food that are usually scavenged from the common people are either sent to Laiyuan City or hidden in the mountains, and the troops have captured very little!"

"Even if we eliminate all the traitor spies lurking in Laiyuan, it is estimated that we will not be able to seize so much food!"

Li Hao replied confidently: "You don't have to worry about the food, I have prepared it for you!" ”

"A full 500,000 catties of grain will be parked at the junction of Lingqiu and Laiyuan, and it can be transported in for you at any time!"

"As for your first concern, I can tell you very clearly that we don't lose anything on this deal, and we don't need that much food!"

Huang Sheng's eyes immediately widened, and he looked at Li Hao with a look of disbelief and asked, "This is impossible!" ”

"Nothing is impossible!" Li Hao is still as confident as ever!

"In the face of the temptation of life-saving food, there must be many ordinary people who have come forward to provide us with information! But one thing I am sure of is this: a lot of the information provided by the folks must be the same! ”

"For the same piece of information, we can't exchange a hundred catties of food every time!"

"We can make a rule in advance, the same information is presented for the first time, and you can get 100 catties of grain, but when you bring it up for the second time and the third time, you can only get 10 catties of grain as compensation!"

"The compensation is more or less, and to a certain extent, it can also stimulate everyone to rush to provide us with information, provide more and more useful information!"

"I thought that once I was one step behind others, the information in my hand would be worthless"

"We can definitely save at least half of the food this way!"

"Good way!" Huang Sheng shouted excitedly!

"I'll find an instructor to work out the policy in a moment!"

"As long as you have intelligence support and find out where those traitor spies are hiding, the troops will definitely be able to wipe them out in the shortest possible time!"

Excitement turned into excitement, but as soon as he thought that he would have to spend at least 200,000 catties of grain in order to kill these spies, the smile on Huang Sheng's face slowly disappeared!

The regiment commander brought a total of 500,000 catties of food, which seems like a lot, but when you really use it, you know that they are not used!

After the complete capture of Laiyuan, the main force was expanded, local troops were formed, county brigades, district squadrons, guerrillas, and base areas were established, and food was needed everywhere, and the demand was not small!

If there is no such consumption, 500,000 catties of grain for the troops to last until the autumn harvest will definitely be no problem!

But if half of the grain is used up in order to eliminate the traitor spies, then the remaining half of the grain will definitely not be enough!

After the troops take Laiyuan, they must be defended by three battalions, as the commander of the third battalion, these are all things to consider in their future!

For the sake of a group of traitor spies, so much food was used, and it was also the rations of the troops, no matter how you think about it, Huang Sheng feels a loss!

In his eyes, those people are scum, scum, and it's a waste to kill them with bullets, let alone have to take so much food!

Li Hao saw Huang Sheng's thoughts at a glance: "Do you really think that we spent hundreds of thousands of catties of grain to only buy information on how to eliminate traitor spies!" ”

"If that's the case, it's a big mistake!"

"Because we not only bought intelligence with food, but also a very important people's heart!"

"The common people provide us with information in order to save their lives, once this step is taken, it means that they are on the opposite side of those traitor spies, and they are likely to be retaliated against by the Japanese puppet army!"

"If you want to avoid retaliation, there is only one way, to cooperate with us unconditionally, support us, and wipe out those hidden traitor spies, and solve this hidden danger once and for all!"

Huang Sheng woke up at one o'clock, and suddenly shouted, "I understand!" ”

"From the moment they provided us with information, they chose our Eighth Route Army!"

"Even if the little devils fight back in the future, they will unconditionally support us to defeat the devils!"

"Otherwise, they will continue to be oppressed by the Japanese puppet army, live a hard life, and may even be retaliated against by the Japanese puppet army!"

In Laiyuan City, time passed minute by minute, and the commander's face became more and more ugly!

It's been almost two hours since the cavalry brigade left the city!

Under normal circumstances, they should have killed on the battlefield an hour ago, joined up with the attacking troops, and then killed Gongqiao Village together and killed the Eighth Route Army there!

According to the agreement: once the cavalry brigade and the attacking troops converge, they must use the radio to report the situation of the attacking troops as soon as possible!

But after such a long time, the command did not receive a single telegram of the relevant kind, as if the cavalry brigade had also disappeared!

"Bage Yalu, what is Kawamoto-kun doing to eat, it's been so long, why haven't you sent a telegram back!" The commander who was pacing in front of the sand table finally couldn't help but scold!

In fact, this is not to blame Kawamoto Shaozo, the garrison attack came too suddenly, and the firepower was fierce, and he gave the order to retreat one second late, which means that several subordinates may die on the battlefield!

There is simply no time to stop and ask the telegraph operator to send a telegram!

The original idea was to wait for the troops to break out of the fire strike range and report after the troops were safe, but the garrison regiment did not give him this opportunity!

As soon as the retreat began, a large number of tongues of fire appeared behind him, and the cavalry brigade was also encircled!

Unfortunately, the operator happened to be hit by a bullet!

After Kawamoto Shaozo decided to give up the war horse and break through the mountains on both sides of the road, he would have had time to send a telegram to Laiyuan City!

But the operator died, and the radio broke down!

In the end, it can only be wiped out little by little without sending any message!

The chief of staff stood next to him, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, and he wrinkled his brows and reminded: "Sir, do you want to contact the aviation forces and ask them to send planes to the battlefield to investigate!" ”

From the bottom of his heart, the commander did not want to give up the great combat exploits of destroying one of the main battalions of the garrison regiment!

But the battlefield is too weird!

More than a thousand imperial troops disappeared in a row, and there was no news at all!

Even if he has been on the battlefield for a long time, this is the first time he has encountered such a situation!

It is a matter of life and death for more than a thousand imperial troops, no matter how reluctant he is, the commander can only give up the dream of destroying the garrison!

With a calm face, he ordered: "Contact the aviation immediately to find out what happened on the battlefield?" ”

"Hey!" The chief of staff hastened to answer!

When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and asked hesitantly, "Sir, should we send scouts too!" ”

The commander scolded unceremoniously: "Are you a stupid pig? ”

"If something really happens to the two troops, then there must be a conspiracy outside the city that we don't know about, and sending troops out again is to send them to death, sheep into the tiger's mouth, and throw themselves into the net!"

Speaking of this, the commander suddenly thought of the chief of intelligence who had sworn in front of him two hours earlier!

He immediately ordered: "What about Biancheng-kun?" Call him over right now! ”

"If there is really a conspiracy outside the city, and something happens to the two troops, he will not be able to escape the blame!"

The captain of the border city soon rushed over, and in the face of the commander's questioning, he was also inexplicable!

In the past few hours, he really didn't receive any information about any unusual movement outside the city, and he didn't find that other Eighth Route Army troops had entered Lingqiu!

Although there were some hidden worries in my heart, I finally chose to believe what I saw!

The commander looked at him and replied very affirmatively: "Sir, I confirm that there is no change outside the city!" ”

"In order to reassure everyone, the lowly official will send someone out now, so that the intelligence system can immediately find out what is going on outside the city."

After saying that, the captain of the border city rushed out of the war room!

Everything that should be done has been done, and the commander can only continue to stay in the war room and wait for news!

Forty minutes later, the chief of staff who was guarding the telecommunications room returned, with a solemn face!

Maybe he was frightened by the content of the telegram, and before he could react from the shock, he almost fell down when he walked to the door!

Then he rushed to the commander and hurriedly reported: "Sir, something is really wrong!" ”

"The plane found the battlefield at a distance of eighteen kilometers from the county seat, except for the Eighth Route Army that was cleaning the battlefield, not a single soldier of the imperial army saw it!"

"What about the cavalry? Did you find a cavalry brigade! The commander gasped and asked!

The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "The cavalry is also gone!" ”

"There is a small battlefield next to the big battlefield, and there are a lot of imperial soldiers and war horse corpses in it, it must be our cavalry brigade!"

The commander sat on the stool and shouted with an incredulous expression: "How is it possible that two troops, more than a thousand imperial troops, all died in battle?" ”

"Didn't you say that there were no other Eighth Route Army troops in Laiyuan? With just a few hundred people in Gongqiao Village, how could it be possible to wipe out so many of our imperial troops in such a short period of time! ”

"What about the Captain of the Border City? Call him over immediately, it was he who assured me that there were no other Eighth Route Army troops in Laiyuan, so how did our more than 1,000 troops get killed, I need him to give me an explanation! ”

"Order him to come over at once!"

In less than half a minute, the guard who went to give the order ran back and reported with a nervous face!

"Sir, the captain of the border city has been disemboweled, and it's in his office!"

"This is the report written by the captain of the border city before the caesarean section!"

"Nani?"

The chief of staff snatched it up, glanced at ten lines, and read it in ten seconds!

Then the whole person was shrouded in anger, his eyes became red, and he quickly reported!

"Sir, we've been fooled!"

"The Eighth Route Army has deployed troops outside the city, and the intelligence officers who want to enter the city to deliver news have either been killed or captured!"

"In the past few hours, the information we have received has been deliberately released by the Eighth Route Army!"

"The captain of the border city also just got the news, and he knew that he was guilty, and then he committed suicide by caesarean section!"
