Just a kilometer away from the mountain road, a monk sat on a rock, holding a dead grass clip in his mouth, holding a telescope and looking at the road in the distance.

Next to him is Wang Gensheng in the same posture.

In the dark vision, a team of devils was passing quickly between the roads, even if they were separated by a distance of several kilometers, they could see the huge billowing dust raised by the armored car, and suddenly, a dazzling fiery red rose in the front of the team, accompanied by several ghost soldiers being blown away, and the originally orderly team was in chaos·····

Finally, after seeing the incompetent fury of the devil officer, the monk lowered his binoculars.

"Hey, hey, this wave, at least ten ghost soldiers have been killed and wounded..."

Estimating the formation of the little devil, the monk smiled and speculated.

He looked at Wang Gensheng with admiration in his eyes.

The little devil is actually very protective of mines, and there is a special mine removal in front of the team, but this old man, taking advantage of the fact that the devil was attracted by Wang Xikui and Cao Mantang, saw that the two teams were out of touch, and quickly planted twenty grenade transformed mines between the main force of the devil and the demining team.

Bombed the devil by surprise.

"Almost."

Spit out the grass clippings in his mouth, and Wang Gensheng spoke calmly.

A chain of mines composed of twenty grenades, coupled with the fact that he deliberately put on a fragmentation sleeve, has a large range of damage, and it is normal to injure more than a dozen devil soldiers, but this group of devil soldiers is very loose in the training army, and reacts quickly, and when the surrounding devils immediately fell down when they exploded, they dodged most of the fragments, and he estimated that there were not many devils who died.

The regiment commander said that a dead devil is a good devil!

It's a pity.

This time, there are a few good devils.

"Let's go, go back to the group."

Wang Gensheng stood up, patted his ass and said.

"Huh?"

The monk was stunned: "Don't you come a few times again?" I've brought a lot of grenades with me this time! ”

As he spoke, he raised the big backpack beside him, and there were dozens of grenades in it, for Monk Hua, a guy who was as strong as a cow, it was easy to carry dozens of grenades.

"The little devil won't give us this chance."

Wang Gensheng shook his head.

Mine defense is actually very simple, just find some livestock in front of the road with stones or wooden planks and haystacks, there is a special clearing of mines in front of the little devil team, this time it is Wang Xikui and Cao Mantang who can give him a chance, so that the two teams are disconnected, and there is a large gap in the middle, so that he can find the opportunity to plant mines.

But the little devils are not stupid either.

After suffering such a big loss this time, I will definitely learn a lesson, and there will not be such a good opportunity again.

"Then, just let the devil go?"

The monk was a little unwilling.

But after thinking about it in my heart, they really have no choice, as long as the little devils are seriously guarding against mines, and the demining team and the main force are not too far apart, they have no way to blow up the devils.

"Wang Xikui and Cao Mantang will continue to stay here to entertain the devils."

Wang Gensheng licked his lips.

His mines are lethal, but they are easy to guard, but the two guns of Wang Xikui and Cao Mantang, coupled with the familiarity of these two people with the surrounding terrain, as long as the devil enters the mountain road, don't think about living in peace.

As long as the two of them are careful, in this mountainous area, if they are not ambushed by the devils, the devils will not be able to deal with them at all.

"Alright, let's go back."

The monk nodded.

Anyway, it won't be long before the heavy machine gun squad masters the newly arrived heavy machine gun, and the regiment commander will really fight with the devils.

······

Shou County.

Inside the headquarters of the Japanese army.

Oshima Kan looked at the news in his hand, his brows furrowed deeply, and even the corners of his eyes twitched.

Apparently he had bad news in his hands at this point.

"In the various villages outside Shou County, only a dozen or so working security team members have been recruited?"

His tone was thick with incredulity.

The so-called people who can be used are generally some bandits, murderers, ruffians and other criminals and outlaws, these people do not deal with the Eighth Route Army, basically will not take refuge in the Eighth Route Army, as long as they are given certain benefits, these people are also very efficient, far more useful than those militia groups and other adapted Imperial Cooperative Army, and in this war era, there are very many such people, there will be no shortage anywhere.

There are many in this Shou County.

But he has been here for so long, except for some people in the county seat of Kaishou County, only ten people have been recruited outside the city.

"Do you know why?"

Oshima Suga asked the staff officer who reported to him.

"They seem to be afraid of Li Yunlong, afraid of Li Yunlong's revenge."

The staff officer replied.

"Afraid of Li Yunlong?"

Oshima was dumbfounded.

Because he was afraid of Li Yunlong, he didn't dare to do things for the imperial army?

Next to the staff officer, an intelligence officer answered his questions.

The intelligence officer is a person with a special high level, a professional intelligence officer, proficient in Chinese, known as the Republic of China, who came to be in charge of intelligence, and he gave a more specific answer:

"According to the information I investigated, Li Yunlong once warned these people that if they did things for the imperial army, they would be in danger, and they were very afraid of Li Yunlong's threat."

"They think the Imperial Army can't protect them?"

Oshima's tone was full of disbelief.

If it is a so-called base area, then he can still understand this, after all, it is an active area of guerrillas, and it is normal to be afraid, but this is an area occupied by the imperial army, protected by the imperial army garrison, and he is afraid of Li Yunlong's threat when he does things for the imperial army here?

The intelligence officer replied in an eerie tone:

"I once disguised myself as a refugee from the Republic of China to inquire about the news, the Republic of China people near Shou County..."

After a pause, he continued:

"Almost all of them believe that we will eventually be eliminated by Li Yunlong, so except for those murderers wanted by Li Yunlong or some landlords and gentry who were driven away by them, the rest of us dare not join the security team."

"Nani?"

Oshima Kan opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.

As the captain of the Fifth Division, he has been to many, many places, even the important towns of the national capital, as long as it is an area occupied by the empire, the vast majority of the people of the Republic of China think that they will be defeated and the empire will win.

And this Shou County.

The people of the Republic of China here are generally not confident in the Imperial Army, but they are full of confidence in Li Yunlong. This was the first time he had seen this.

"Let's recruit people from the surrounding counties first."

The corners of his mouth twitched, and finally Oshima Suga said helplessly.

He can force these people to enlist in the army to do things for the imperial army like the Imperial Army, but it is conceivable that this group of people who are pessimistic about the empire and full of fear of Li Yunlong can be imagined in their efficiency, and once there is a stir, they will immediately turn into Li Yunlong's spies and pass on the news of the imperial army.

However, recruiting from several other counties is cumbersome and inefficient, but it is the only way.

"Hey."

The staff officer bowed his head.

Suddenly, a staff officer rushed in, and his tone was hurried:

"Report to the captain of the brigade, Sano Shaoza, that today's training troops were sporadically attacked by the Eighth Route Army in a kilometer, with a total of 14 casualties, of which seven were killed and seven were wounded."

Sano Shaosa is the Shaosa who is responsible for directing the training of the troops.

"Yaga."

Oshima Kan, who heard the news, was immediately furious, got up and slapped the table: "What's the matter?" ”

In the face of sporadic attacks, how can there be so many casualties?

The staff officer looked at the creaking table, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if it weren't for the distance, and His Excellency Nakasa was sitting, this slap would definitely be slapped in his face.

No wonder Sano Shaosa himself refused to report... He suddenly realized in his heart.

The staff officer bowed his head, then cautiously walked up and handed the detailed report to Oshima Kan.

Taking a deep breath, Oshima Kan flipped through the report in his hand, looked at it, his face twitched obviously, and his breathing began to be short, during which he walked around the headquarters with even more steps.

This made the breathing of the two staff officers in the room stagnate, for fear of being slapped.

Fortunately, after all, he was the captain of a permanent division, an elite grassroots officer of the Japanese Empire, and there were only a dozen casualties, which was not big, so he quickly suppressed his anger:

"Starting tomorrow, the training site will be changed to flat land outside the city, and in addition, before the training, troops will be sent to search to ensure safety."

"Hey."

The chief of staff of the second debriefing breathed a sigh of relief and began to breathe again.

In this way, he will be safe and will not be beaten.

However, just as the two staff officers were about to leave with new orders, suddenly, another staff officer ran in, followed by another message: "Captain, Jia Zhuang has been attacked. ”

Another bad news.

"Jiazhuang?"

Oshima Kan frowned, he hadn't been here for a long time, and the surrounding villages were not too familiar, so he remembered.

Jiazhuang is only five kilometers away from Shou County, and is the first village to be implemented this time, in order to surrender to the imperial army of the Republic of China to control the occupied area, and to implement the Baojia system to control the rural population.

"What's going on?"

Oshima Suga, who was standing in front of the third staff officer, frowned.

Could it be that this Li Yunlong dared to send someone to attack Jiazhuang? It is only five kilometers away from Shou County, and the road has been widened, and with the reaction speed of the imperial army, it can be supported in half an hour at most.

"According to the report of the people who went to investigate, it was the Eighth Route Army lurking in the village, and they secretly attacked the security team in the village, Wang Daquan from Taiyuan was killed, and five other members of the security team also died."

At first, the staff officer of the local brigade in Shou County didn't pay much attention to the news, he thought that it was just a few people from the Republic of China who were killed, and it was no big deal, but when he saw the expression of Captain Nakasa, he suddenly felt bad in his heart.

The newcomer, the captain of the 5th Division, seems to be angry?

"Yaga."

A slap slapped the new staff officer, and Oshima Kan could no longer control the anger in his heart.

Wang Daquan is dead, he doesn't care, it's just a Republic of China.

But this person is an administrator, and without him, who will train the government officials in the villages? Who will train the newly recruited security forces? How else can the rule over the occupied territories be strengthened?
