Chapter 1076: The Target Appears
The night was like ink, the cold wind was like a knife, and the troops of about 160 people were marching south under the cover of night, heading straight for the direction of Yangjiagou.
The infantry company led by company commander Sun Liang swaggered out of Yangjiagou during the day, confusing the enemy hiding in the shadows, and after dark, they changed from the front team to the rear team, and quickly rushed back along the way they came.
After going back and forth for dozens of miles, the brothers went through the training of the head of the realm, but the soles of their feet were blistered, and they were tired and out of breath.
But when they thought of the black cauldron they had carried and the grievances they had endured in the past two days, they were angry in their hearts, and they wanted to rush back now to kill those enemies who had been killed by the heavens.
The troops rushed all the way in a murderous manner, and returned to the periphery of Yangjiagou again in the second half of the night.
Sun Liang led his brothers to the leeward part of a hill overgrown with barren grass and hid themselves, a few miles away from Yangjiagou.
The reason why they hid their troops so far away was also because they were afraid of getting too close to the village and exposing it, because there were dogs in the village, and once the dogs barked, the previous efforts would be in vain.
"Your reconnaissance teams closely monitor intersections and bridges, and once they find a situation, report it immediately, remember, don't expose yourself."
After Sun Liang and his company became hidden, he immediately gathered the brothers of the reconnaissance team and assigned them tasks.
Previously, they were in the light and the enemy was in the dark, so they had been in a passive position, but this time they were in the dark, waiting for the enemy to appear.
After receiving the order, the brothers of several reconnaissance teams quietly left the hiding place like ghosts, and went straight to the junctions and bridges everywhere.
These bridges and intersections are the only way for the Yang family to communicate with the outside world, once those hidden enemies have any trouble, they can find each other's hiding place as soon as possible, and then completely annihilate them.
When Sun Liang and the others rushed back to Yangjiagou overnight to hide, the other four infantry companies were also like Sun Liang and them, pretending to be driven away by the local people during the day, and sneaking back silently again at night, secretly waiting for the rabbit.
In fact, when the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps entered this area, the traitor Liu Heitan, who had infiltrated him, took people to hide and observed them.
This time, they came here to carry out the attack plan of the detachment commander Watanabe Shouichi, with the purpose of creating contradictions between the local people and the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, and making the people hate the officers and men of the Northern Jiangsu Corps.
The failure of the devil's last attack was because the Northern Jiangsu Corps and the local people were united.
And now the leader of the devil detachment, Watanabe Shouichi, wants to disintegrate the relationship between the Northern Jiangsu Corps and the local people, isolate the Northern Jiangsu Corps, and then they send people over to gradually encroach on the territory of the guerrilla corps.
I have to say that the leader of the devil detachment, Watanabe Shouichi, has a very good calculation, and now the local people have a deep hatred for the guerrillas because they have been harassed and slaughtered by fake guerrillas.
Now the officers and men of the Northern Jiangsu Corps no longer have the support of the local people here, and the people have misunderstood the officers and men of the Northern Jiangsu Corps and have expelled them like rats crossing the street.
Although there were some wise people who remained calm and hoped to investigate the matter before drawing conclusions, this voice was quickly drowned out by angry voices.
Now the officers and men of the Northern Soviet Corps finally couldn't stay any longer, and they withdrew from this area in a gloomy manner amid denunciation and abuse, which made the enemies in those hidden shadows laugh.
But Liu Heitan and they were also very cautious, and they did not immediately jump out to take over the territory of this area instead of the devil, but were very cautious like foxes.
He heard that the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps had evacuated, but he was not sure if this was a trap of the Northern Soviet Corps, so he took people to hide for two more days, and ate almost all the dry food, and then decided that it was time for them to appear.
"Squadron leader, those guerrillas have been driven away by the local people, and now there is not a single guerrilla in this area."
The traitor in charge of the investigation happily reported to the traitor Liu Heitan after walking around the surrounding villages.
"Are you sure those guerrillas have really evacuated?" Liu Heitan is still not at ease.
Those strong guerrillas are strong troops that can beat the imperial army all over the ground, and if they encounter this small raiding team, they must not be torn apart, so Liu Heitan is very cautious.
"It's really withdrawn, there is no food or drink, if they stay here any longer, I'm afraid they will starve to death." The traitor in charge of the investigation said.
The traitors around them all laughed, they succeeded in making the people hostile to the guerrilla corps, this time the officers and soldiers of the guerrilla corps did not get any supplies from the locality, these are their masterpieces.
"Good!" Liu Heitan stood up and said loudly: "Since the guerrillas have been driven away, then we have been nesting here for several days, and today I will take you to open a meat restaurant!"
"Okay—" The traitors all shouted in unison.
In the past, they burned, killed and looted in various villages, because they were afraid of the guerrillas' attacks, they all left at the touch of a button, and they never dared to stay for too long.
Now that the guerrillas have been driven out by the local people, this is their world, and they can do whatever they want.
Soon, the mighty traitors left their hiding place and headed straight for the nearest village, where they had been nibbling on cold dry food for two days, and now they couldn't wait for a hot meal.
The village they chose was called Cotton Stack, which was more than ten miles east of Yangjiagou.
They had attacked and killed a few people before, and now several new graves had been erected by the fields outside the village.
Because the officers and men of the guerrilla corps had left, the traitors did not disguise themselves as the officers and soldiers of the guerrillas, but changed back to their own positions.
The villagers in the cotton stacks were still immersed in the pain of losing their loved ones and did not come back, and when they heard that a group of people with guns had come outside, they thought that the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps had returned.
More than a dozen militia members of the militia self-defense unit rushed out of the village angrily with guns, hoping to teach the officers and men of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps a good lesson and avenge the blood revenge of the few villagers who died in the village.
But when they rushed out of the village angrily, they were stunned, because these people who came did not wear the uniforms of the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, but some people wearing some uniform gray cotton clothes.
"Who are you, what are you doing in our village!"
Seeing that there were so many people in Liu Heitan and the weapons, although the militia was weak, they still blocked them at the entrance of the village and did not let them enter the village.
"We are a plainclothes team under the Gaoyou Public Security Maintenance Association, and we really can't see it when we hear that the guerrillas have been burning and looting here recently, so we rushed over to help you-" Liu Heitan replied with a loud voice.
