There are still four days left before the arrival of the Devil Army.

Wendian Village.

Late at night.

The commander of the first battalion, Cheng He, arrived here with a new regiment of special agents, and the group was silent and did not attract anyone's attention.

After seeing Li Yunlong set up a special squad and really made some achievements, Ding Wei was also red-eyed, and when he returned to the regiment, he set out to form his own special squad, but he still followed the name of this era and added a spy prefix to the title of the elite small unit.

After all, with the foundation left by Li Yunlong's hard training, there are more elite veterans, and Ding Wei's troop losses in the past year have not been large, coupled with the arrival of the officers promised by the brigade headquarters, the backbone of the new regiment is enriched, and Ding Wei easily transferred out more than 30 veteran soldiers.

A new regiment of special agents was formed.

After all, they are all veterans with two years of experience, and after three or five days of training organized by Ding Wei himself, they really have some of that flavor with reference to the concept they learned from the independent regiment.

In order to hone the ability of this group of people to perform independent tasks, Ding Wei discussed with Li Yunlong and gave his spy platoon a task in the Devil Army Column Operation, which was cooperated between the two regiments.

A relatively simple task.

Among the woods in the north of Wendian Village, Cheng He took advantage of the moonlight that ran through the leaves, looked around at the soldiers of the new regiment of special service platoons, and said in a solemn tone: "This is the first mission of our special service platoon, we must do it beautifully, and we must not lose the face of the new group." ”

As he spoke, he took out a document from the document bucket in his arms and pointed to the two machine parts on the data:

"The task is very simple, we need to collect some rocks in the mountains and find them with enough weight, hide them near the road, and prepare for the next mission."

"During this operation, we must not attract the attention of the devils, nor can we leave obvious traces, and try to focus on fragments of stones."

This task sounds ridiculous at first glance.

Collecting stones, how easy!

There are not many other in this mountain forest, the stones are not too much, you can collect a lot of them by walking casually, as for concealment, there is no problem, there are a few fewer stones in the mountain, except for those who often run the mountain, who cares about these?

I don't care if I find out.

This kind of task can be completed by just some ordinary soldiers, so why send out a special service platoon?

Using these elite veterans of two years or more to do this is simply a knife to kill chickens!

But none of the more than thirty soldiers in front of Cheng He showed a disdainful expression, and the group glanced at the document in Cheng He's hand, but all of them had solemn faces, thinking in their hearts how to make this more beautiful, so that the devil could not see the slightest trace.

The task is simple.

But the simpler the task, the more careless it is.

can successfully survive on the battlefield, everyone knows in their hearts that many times, the gap between life and death is a little detail, it may be an extra sandbag in front of the bunker, or it may be a little deeper in the foxhole, or it may be a little faster to sell the head.

And the people know what their simple task is for.

Before leaving, the regimental commander told them.

Four days later, the Devils' Column will pass by, and their new regiment, together with the old Commander's Independent Regiment, will snatch the machines from the Devil's Army Column and give them to the Headquarters Arsenal.

Those machines were big machines capable of producing rifles, machine guns and bullets and grenadiers.

Although the life of the new regiment is better, and there is no shortage of weapons and ammunition, there are still many, many fraternal units, and the poor ones are not even equipped with shotguns, and the comrades of some units can only carry broadswords and spears to fight devils.

With these machines, the combat effectiveness of the troops can definitely be greatly improved.

In case the devil later found that there were no stones missing in the mountain for no reason, and guessed that it was the stones that were thrown in the sinky lake, so that he found the buried machine, wouldn't the loss be great?

How smart is the nose of the little devil dog, they don't know yet?

This kind of thing should be done by elite veterans like them.

Only they can do it beautifully, and let those frizzy recruits do it, don't worry.

"Although the mission is simple, everyone should know the importance of this mission." Cheng He finally reminded: "Try not to leave obvious traces to avoid the devil from detecting." ”

"Yes."

The crowd whispered in response.

The two heaviest parts on the Devil Army are also the most important parts in this batch of machinery and equipment, once the lack of machines can not operate normally, small parts and small machines can still be made up for without the headquarters, and this large part is lost, it can only be dumbfounded.

So it must not be lost.

To this end, Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong formulated a detailed battle plan, striving to perfect every detail and avoid any unexpected situations.

Do the play that do the full set.

In the plan, Duzhi planned to use hemp rope net to make two stones of nearly one ton and throw them into the falling lake.

After all, it is the first time for Grand Master Li to do this, and the business is not very proficient, and I don't know what the devil's reaction will be, so I can only improve the details over and over again, and strive not to have accidents.

"Let's go."

Cheng He waved his hand, and under the night, more than thirty warriors disappeared into the mountains and forests.

······

The same Wendian Village.

In the afternoon of the second day.

It was stationed in the headquarters of the Komatsu Brigade of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army near the railway.

"Captain, this is a telegram from the Taiyuan Headquarters." The staff officer handed a telegram to Captain Komatsu Seiji Nakasa: "It's an order to deal with those outside who only take refugees." ”

"Yo Xi, it's finally here."

Komatsu nodded, put down the Imperial Katana that he was wiping in his hand, and took the telegram.

He had been waiting for this telegram for days.

There are refugees who have migrated to the base area of the Eighth Route Army near Wendian Village.

As soon as the refugees arrived, he noticed that at first there were only a few of them, and at that time he did not know the destination of the group of refugees, and he did not pay much attention to it, so he let the group leave.

However, as more and more refugees grew, especially when they learned that their destination was an enemy base, he sent people to intercept the refugees and set up a card to prohibit passage.

However, the lockdown, which has been effective for refugees in the past, has not had much effect this time.

This group of refugees is a little different from what they have encountered in the past, some people have given them warm clothes and continue to provide food, even if they have migrated all the way from other provinces, their mobility is still very high, and their penetration is extremely strong, and their cards have not had much effect, and the refugees are still entering the guerrilla base areas in an endless stream, but at a slower pace.

The Imperial Intelligence Section has also investigated this matter in depth, and even sent a lot of soldiers to keep an eye on it, trying to find out who is supporting the migration of these refugees, but there has been no result.

The people who support these refugees never show up, and food is quietly distributed.

This made Komatsu Seiji puzzled.

Not counting the small number of refugees who have already passed, there are currently thousands of refugees in various places, and there is a lot of food that needs to be provided, and the refugees are divided into dozens of batches, with a distribution range of more than a dozen counties, and continue to provide food to these refugees.

How is the grain transported?

How do you control the whereabouts of refugees? Ensuring timely food distribution?

And how to avoid the surveillance of the Imperial Army?

No matter what you think, Seiji Komatsu can't think of a reason.

However, after reading the content of the telegram, the corners of Komatsu Seiji's mouth curved into a knife-edge arc: "Order, the second and third squadrons of the first squadron will start tomorrow and act as detachments to capture refugees." ”

"Those who dare to resist will be killed."

No matter who supported these refugees, how they avoided the sight of the Imperial Army, and how they transported food and supplies, they could only obediently avoid the guns of the invincible Imperial Japanese Army, and if they dared to obstruct them, they would all be shot.

"The task of the railway defense ·····" The staff officer asked.

The Komatsu Brigade consisted of three infantry brigades, plus an artillery squad.

Among them, the 1st Infantry Squadron was stationed on the railway to prevent guerrillas from attacking the railway near Wendian Village, the 2nd Squadron was stationed in the barracks in the center of the town to maintain law and order in Wendian Village and protect the requisitioned food and supplies, and the 3rd Squadron was responsible for patrolling the roads and monitoring the security situation in each village.

Among them, the most unsuitable is the 1st Infantry Squadron, and the railway defense task is the top priority, and it has always been guarded by the 1st Infantry Squadron with the most veterans on the front line.

In particular, after the guerrillas launched a frenzied attack on the railway, the higher authorities repeatedly ordered that the railway's defense should never be relaxed in the slightest, and that vigilance patrols must be arranged day and night.

Commander Shinozuka even said that where there was a problem with the railway, the commander in charge of the garrison committed suicide directly.

He didn't quite understand that under such circumstances, his own Captain Nakasa still chose to transfer the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Squadron to capture the refugees. Is it more important to capture refugees than to garrison the railway?

"Because they're best suited for the task······"

Komatsu Seiji picked up his katana again, and his tone was gloomy: "As for the task of garrisoning the railway, let the second and third infantry squadrons each send a team." ”

Taiyuan's order was to arrest this group of refugees and prepare to send them to the northeast to work as coolies, this group of refugees are in good physical condition, and the northeast is in need of some laborers to dig and do hard labor.

The two sides hit it off.

As for the transportation problem, in the next half month, two military trains will be carried back to the northeast from Taiyuan empty, which was used to transport coal, iron, salt, cotton and other materials to the seaport and back to the mainland, but before the so-called 100-regiment battle of the guerrillas, the mines and other mines were destroyed, and there were no materials to transport, which was just used to transport refugees.

However, a maximum of a thousand people can be transported by a train, and the mortality rate is too high, and the number of refugees outside is estimated at 3,000, plus there are some untouchables who dare to support the guerrillas, there are too many people, so he sent the first squadron.

The First Squadron is the most loyal and brave Imperial samurai, and the most glorious Imperial samurai, and is best suited to do this.

"Hey."

The staff officer, who was still puzzled, bowed his head.
