Chapter 376: The Japanese Army's Stratagem

"Things will always be resolved, I believe Brother Fan is already thinking of a way." Ma Wanzhong put his arm on Hu Guoshan's shoulder, and then pinched his shoulder with his hand and said.

After a battle in Jindong, the 33rd Independent Division achieved its operational purpose, which also proved the strength of the 33rd Independent Division's combat effectiveness, and of course also attracted the army of Gangcun Ningci, and the soldiers of the special combat team had already moved south after receiving the order, preparing to cause some trouble to Gangcun Ningci's army with a small-scale raid.

After the battle in Jindong ended, the little devil sent sappers to start repairing the railways and highways, but Taihang Mountain also ushered in the rainy season, and it began to rain at both ends of the three days, and Liao Fan's headquarters smelled of mold, but Liao Fan was very happy.

Rain, let it rain, keep it! Liao Fan prayed in his heart that the rain would keep falling, anyway, the little devil had no weather forecast, and God's face was cloudy, and a heavy rain washed away the road that the little devil had just built.

In order to speed up the progress of construction, the little devil had to give up building the road and put his main energy on the railway, despite this, the speed of the little devil building the road was still very slow, Gangcun Ningci wanted to use the train to transport 100,000 troops to Shanxi, but after transporting 30,000 troops, he had to consider the impact of the Shanxi road, so Gangcun Ningci decided to start using the train to transport prisoners of war to Shanxi for them to build the road.

In just a few days, 10,000 prisoners of war were transported to Shanxi.

"It's a send-off!" When Liao Fan learned that the little devil had transported 10,000 captives to Shanxi to build the railway, his heart was simply happy.

After the battle of Jindong, the 33rd Independent Division suffered nearly forty percent casualties, so it was necessary to replenish the troops as soon as possible.

"Signal Soldiers!" Liao Fan called the signal soldiers, "Tell the four regiment commanders that the little devils use prisoners of war to build the railway, since we have destroyed the roads for the little devils, of course we can't let them build them again so easily, as for those prisoners of war, whoever can grab it belongs to whom, the division headquarters doesn't ask." ”

After retreating to the mountains, the four regiment commanders were not idle, and after two days of repairing in the garrison, the troops began to attack each other, attacking the little devils, at least they could not let them build the railway in peace and stability, it was a very difficult thing to build the road in the heavy rain, and the harassment of the 33rd Independent Division from the country, the speed of road construction can be called turtle speed.

Moreover, it was not small to let the independent 33rd Division take back control, and the section of the road that had just been repaired was destroyed again, and Gangcun Ningci also felt a headache. If it continues at this rate, even if his 100,000-strong army can reach the Shanxi front, the war materials will not be able to guarantee the normal operation of the troops.

As for the second and fourth regiments in the north, Li Weimin and Liu Chundao had a tacit understanding that they did not say anything, and directly led their troops south, and the meeting was held on their way south.

"The second and fourth regiments are crazy, right?" When the troops of the 2nd and 4th regiments passed by the garrison of the 3rd regiment, the soldiers who stayed behind saw that the soldiers were eating while walking, and they did not have the slightest intention of stopping and marching directly south.

In the eyes of the soldiers left behind in the third regiment, the second and fourth regiments simply seemed to be disrupted, today there was a platoon, he asked, it was the second regiment, and an hour later he asked again if it was the fourth regiment, so they felt that the second and fourth regiments were crazy.

But the little devils also went crazy, and suddenly there were more guerrillas than mosquitoes in the summer, firing one shot in the east and one in the west, and occasionally rescuing the prisoners of war in their hands, and the most disturbing thing for them was that these guerrillas did not seem to have to rest, they came when they were eating, they came again when they were sleeping, and they came when they went to the latrine.

The little devils were exhausted by the guerrillas, they began to fight back, and began to try their best to ambush these guerrillas, but the result always disappointed them, when they were ready to ambush, these guerrillas seemed to suddenly disappear, and they did not appear, and waited in vain for two days, and the little devils were also happy and ready to go back to sleep, but these guerrillas appeared again.

In fact, the four regiment commanders had already arranged for personnel to infiltrate the ranks of prisoners of war, and these hidden soldiers became the eyes of the troops' actions, not only to unite the prisoners of war, but also to monitor the movements of the Japanese army, so that they could avoid the ambush of the Japanese army in time.

Although the casualties caused by these guerrillas were not large, they continued to be in trouble, and the little devils watched as batches of prisoners of war were rescued by the Chinese army, and there was nothing they could do. There is no way to repair the road, there is no way to fight, and the little devils chase the butts of these guerrillas every day, but often the bamboo basket is empty, and occasionally when they chase halfway, they are ambushed by other guerrillas.

Gangcun Ningci only frowned after learning about the situation on this side of Shanxi, his 200,000 troops had already begun to move and were ready to attack the Fifth War Zone, but the troops on this side of Shanxi were unable to reach the front line for a long time.

"Carry out this plan, and no one can know about this plan except the soldier who executes it, except that the soldier who executes it knows about it."

Gangcun Ningji sent a telegram to the troops in Shanxi, which was only known to a small number of people.

One day, the weather was fine, and last night's rain washed the sky like a mirror, cloudless, without the slightest haze, and it felt like being able to live forever when you took a breath. For the little devils, it's a pity that the weather is so good that it doesn't have to build roads.

The little devils began to drive the prisoners of war to the railway line to start work. Less than an hour after the start of construction, the little devil was attacked again by the guerrillas, and the attacking Chinese army, with only one platoon of soldiers, easily beat the Japanese army away and rescued more than 50 prisoners of war.

The little devils did not pursue this group of guerrillas, but let them go, and then waved the flag to the rear, and then a group of little devils again escorted more than 100 prisoners of war to the railway line to continue building the road.

The platoon commander of a platoon of the 3rd Regiment was in a ravine somewhere explaining some of the policies of the 33rd Independent Division to the prisoners of war he had just rescued, such as you can leave if you want to leave, you can stay if you want to, and you will never be embarrassed, and so on.

A platoon commander was very excited, completely ignoring whether the prisoners they rescued could understand it. The last time he spoke about these things was two days ago, but his platoon lost five fighters and did not rescue any prisoners.

Taking advantage of the excitement, he talked for more than an hour about the 33rd Independent Division, from how he entered the 33rd Independent Division, to his company commander, his battalion commander all the way to Liao Fan, and finally he felt thirsty, and a soldier handed him a water bottle.

At this time, the prisoners in front of him moved, followed by fierce gunfire, these prisoners of war were not real prisoners of war, from the beginning a platoon commander did not find them, although they were in rags, and there was a lot of dirt on their faces, but they were little devils pretending, they never said a word on the way, and of course they did not understand what a certain platoon commander said.

These Japanese prisoners of war only knew that they had pistols hidden in their waists and daggers strapped to their trousers, and they wanted to attack the team of less than 30 people in front of them at the most opportune time.

The moment the guns rang out, they succeeded, a certain platoon of the 3rd Regiment was defenseless against these prisoners of war, so close, the firepower of the pistols was comparable to that of submachine guns, these fighters did not have the slightest chance to react, they could not fall to the ground blindly, they did not expect that the prisoners of war they had desperately saved would attack them.

The Japanese troops who succeeded in the operation did not take a second look at the corpses of the Chinese troops on the ground, but gathered their troops out of the valley and returned to the ranks of prisoners of war to continue building the road, because they believed that there would be such an operation in the future.

In the space of three days, for example, what happened in a platoon of the third regiment happened more than a dozen times, but on two occasions the little devil was suppressed, and the leader of the team was a certain company commander of the second regiment, and when he found that the rescued prisoners of war did not have a trace of excitement on their faces, and they were all vigilant, he also began to be vigilant, and then privately told his soldiers that something was wrong.

Gunshots rang out, this time it was not the soldiers of the second regiment who fell, but more than seventy little devils, after the soldiers searched, the company commander also confirmed that they were little devils, and then he never took the troops to participate in the operation, but began to send all the soldiers under his command to contact the troops they could contact, and tell them what they encountered.

As for the second repression, it was because one of the buddies in the army was very enthusiastic, and when he went up, he hugged a rescued prisoner of war and kissed him like a baby, which completely angered the little devil in his arms. When "Baga" spoke, everyone present was stunned, but the company commander reacted quickly and shot decisively, killing more than 50 little devils, and they also killed more than a dozen soldiers.

The guerrillas also began to receive news one after another that the little devil was hiding among the prisoners of war, and they also began to increase their vigilance, guarding against the fact that the prisoners of war they rescued were disguised by the little devils.

When the Japanese found that few of the troops they had sent returned, they terminated the project, knowing that the Chinese had discovered their secret plan.

The guerrillas are still happy to harass the little devils, rescue the prisoners of war by the way, and if possible, they will stuff a few explosives bags on the road that has just been built, and blow up the road that has just been built. In the end, they found that the two troops were fighting like children fighting, and there was no arrangement at all, and whoever had the most strength and who was even more shameless and unscrupulous had a greater chance of winning.

Early one morning, Yan Xuelin walked into Liao Fan's headquarters with a document......
