"That's it!" Gangcun Ningji waved his hand impatiently, interrupted Anda Twenty-three's words, and said with some annoyance: "You don't have to say good things about this rice bucket, I know the reason very well in my heart, but take the cunning of the Eight Roads, to put it bluntly, it is the incompetence of these people." ”

"Hello! Your Excellency the Commander is absolutely right. Anda Twenty-Three replied respectfully.

Gangcun Ningci took a deep breath, and then said with a serious face: "Liu Hong's martial arts team must be annihilated, especially Liu Hong, this guy, must not stay." Immediately ordered Yamazaki Yusuke to mobilize troops to the north to encircle and suppress Liu Hong's martial arts team, and to eliminate the martial arts team at all costs and eradicate Liu Hong's scourge. ”

"Hello!" Anda Twenty-three hurriedly responded respectfully, and then ordered someone to send a telegram to Yamazaki Yusuke.

The telegram reached Yamazaki Yusuke's headquarters as quickly as possible, and at this time, Yamazaki Yusuke was discussing countermeasures with several Japanese puppet army officers under him, and after reading the telegram, Yamazaki Yusuke couldn't help frowning.

A devil next to him hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency General, did something happen?" ”

Yamazaki Yusuke nodded, and said with an embarrassed face: "Your Excellency the Commander has just sent a telegram, ordering our Yamazaki detachment to send troops north to encircle and suppress Liu Hong's martial arts team. ”

The devil Shao Zuo frowned and asked, "A mere martial arts team of Tubalu can actually attract the attention of His Excellency the Commander of Gangcun?" ”

Yamazaki Yusuke sighed slightly and said: "You don't know, a few days ago, a military column of the imperial army was hijacked by the Eighth Route Army near Cangxian County, thousands of tons of military supplies were blown up, and the canal railway bridge was also blown up. His Excellency Commander Gangmura Ninji was furious, and only then did he strictly order our Yamazaki detachment to annihilate this hateful Tsuchihachi at all costs. ”

The devil Shao Zuo nodded and said: "I see, but our troops are scattered to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Dirt Eight Roads, now is the most critical moment, if we gather our forces at this time to go north, it is equivalent to giving these Dirt Eight Roads a chance to breathe, and if we want to completely eliminate them in the future, I am afraid it will be even more difficult." ”

Yamazaki Yusuke nodded and said: "This is also what I am most worried about, I really know too much about these dirt eight roads, their vitality is more tenacious than weeds, don't look at the fact that now we have eliminated a large number of earth eight roads, there are not many remnants of earth eight roads in the nearby counties, but as long as they are given a period of time, these surviving guys will grow up like wild grass, gradually connected together, develop and grow, and then want to eradicate them, they will inevitably pay a greater price." ”

At this time, a puppet army officer wearing the rank of colonel stood up and said with a smile: "Yamazaki Taijun, I think you don't have to worry about this at all. "This person's name is Zhao Jinglin, and he is the colonel of the 13th Independent Regiment of the Seventh Independent Brigade of the North China Public Security Army, and the so-called North China Public Security Army is commonly known as the Imperial Cooperative Army. However, Zhao Jinglin's troops are different from the ordinary puppet army troops, like those puppet armies in various strongholds, they don't even have a regular establishment, and most of them are named after the security teams of the security regiments in various places, and their personnel are also composed of some local ruffians and hooligans, and their combat effectiveness is called a scum. Zhao Jinglin's troops are regular troops, well-equipped, and professionally trained, and their combat effectiveness is not weak.

When Yamazaki Yusuke heard this, his eyes fell on Zhao Jinglin, and he asked with a smile, "What good ideas does Zhao Sang have?" ”

Zhao Jinglin smiled and said, "Humble and stupid, how can there be any good ideas." However, from the humble point of view, how much ability he can have as a Liu Hong, and how many people can they have in their martial arts team, there is no need to mobilize troops to deal with them, Taijun only needs to send a small number of troops to completely eliminate them, so naturally it will not delay our plan to suppress bandits. ”

Yamazaki Yusuke nodded slightly and said: "What Zhao Sang said also has some truth, but according to the information provided by the headquarters, Liu Hong's martial arts team has now grown to more than 1,000 people, and its strength should not be underestimated!" ”

Zhao Jinglin said with a surprised face: "Can't!" After the sweep of the imperial army and the retreat of the main force of the Eighth Route Army, there were no formed troops in the entire central Hebei region, and at most they were battalions and companies, even in the area of Raoyang, Hengshui, Shenxian County, there were no more than 1,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army, they would not be bluffing! ”

Yamazaki Yusuke shook his head and said: "The information of the imperial army cannot be wrong, but at the end of the imperial army's sweep, Liu Hong's martial arts team only had one or two hundred people, and it was only in this month that it developed rapidly and expanded to more than a thousand people. ”

"I see!" Zhao Jinglin nodded and said, "If that's the case, then don't worry, Taijun, you think!" The reason why they developed so fast was nothing more than summoning some of the remnants of the defeated army that had been scattered before, and these people had long been frightened by the imperial army, and they were a flock of frightened birds, so they were not afraid at all. There is also a possibility that a large number of recruits have been recruited, and Yamazaki Taijun is a top student who graduated from the Imperial Japanese Army University and is also an excellent commander, and he should know that it is impossible for recruits to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time. Moreover, these soldiers recruited by the Eighth Route Army are basically from peasant backgrounds, and some of them are estimated to have never even seen guns, can you expect these people to be able to fight? ”

Zhao Jinglin paused, and then continued: "So I think that although there are a lot of people in this martial arts team, they have no combat effectiveness at all, so they will only bluff, engage in sneak attacks and sabotage, and scare the garrisons in the local strongholds. He thought that Yamazaki Taijun could send an elite army, the number of people did not need to be too large, only a large number of troops, and penetrated their stronghold as quickly as possible, and if they were taken by surprise and taken by surprise, they would definitely be able to annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”

"Yo Xi!" Yamazaki Yusuke's eyes couldn't help but light up, nodded with a smile and said: "Zhao Sang's analysis is very reasonable, this idea is also quite exquisite, as the so-called soldiers are fast, if the imperial army can suddenly appear in Gaoguantun Village, it will definitely be able to catch them off guard, and this will not have too much impact on our encirclement and suppression of the Tuba Road in the Hengshui area." ”

Zhao Jinglin lowered his head and said respectfully: "Haiyi! Taijun is wise. ”
