It's been almost a month since Laiwu's incident, and the rumors about the ghost troops have gradually faded.As the force suddenly disappeared from Hebei, it was as if none of this had happened.The sudden disappearance of that troop was just as sudden, just like the great disaster he brought to the devils when he came, and the calm when he disappeared made all the devils take it for granted, after all, the ghost will disappear one day.On a mountain road leading to Laiwu, about two squads of devils used mules and horses to transport some urgently needed items for the garrison troops in front, including medicinal herbs, office supplies, guns and ammunition, cotton clothes and quilts, and even military uniforms.Due to the fact that the Japanese army's supplies were much scarcer than that of the navy, and because the Chinese battlefield was very large, a large number of trucks were basically used by the combat units deployed to the front line.As for the transportation of supplies between the Japanese troops in the occupied areas, these matters were basically solved by mules and horses.The Japanese army occupied a large number of cities, took control of important industrial production bases, and plundered a large amount of supplies.A large part of their supplies are already supplied by the occupied territories, except for the core supplies, such as artillery shells and large military equipment, which are still provided by the mainland, and the devils can basically achieve self-sufficiency.Shandong is different from the hilly areas of Anhui, where there are more mountains.In the days when there were no highways, it was often necessary to travel through mountains to transport supplies from one city to another.On the mountain path, the two-wheeled cart squeaks and squeaks, and from time to time it bumps on the uneven dirt road.The devils drove the mule carts carefully, while watching cautiously around."
Wuchangjun, I heard that this area is not very peaceful, and there are many remnants of the army left here."
A devil in a carriage carefully observed the rolling mountains around him."
I heard that it is called ghost sorrow here, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, even those old people who collect medicine all year round can't go up the mountain.So don't look at the shem here, there are very few places where people can be hidden, don't worry, the troops of the people of China have already been beaten away. ”The devil named Wuchang drove the carriage and said to his nervous companion with a smile.The transport team quickly walked from dawn to noon, just as the soldier called Wuchang said, and although the surrounding mountains were high, they were too steep.Except for apes, I'm afraid no one can really climb up.As for the ambush, that's basically a joke.The nerves that the devils had been tense gradually eased a lot, and the team began to laugh.Some familiar soldiers began to talk about their hometowns, and even some of their fellow villagers laughed and talked about the most memorable scenery of their hometowns."
It's not far from Laiwu, and we'll definitely be there before dark.Everyone, work hard, I'm going to Laiwu for dinner today, please. ”The commander of this unit was a squad leader, and he humbly bent down to all the soldiers, looking less like an order, but as if he was consulting with everyone."
Okay, got it," the soldiers laughed, driving the mules and horses faster.By three o'clock in the afternoon, they could already faintly see Laiwu City, and at this time, the mountains were gradually getting a lot lower, and they seemed to be about to get out of this mountainous area.A river in front of him blocked the way, and there was a wooden bridge not very wide, just big enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass.The devils stopped at the river, lined up, and prepared to cross the river in turn.But at the moment when the devils had just parked all the carriages by the river and were about to drive the carriages through.Countless figures suddenly appeared under the still grass by the river, and at the same time, fierce gunshots rang out, and the close ones were immediately knocked down."
Kill, kill these little devils" A sturdy man rushed out of the grass, still stained with withered yellow grass, holding a crooked machine gun in his hand and firing wildly at the devil's mule and horse convoy.Suddenly sawdust flew, people turned on their backs, the devils had already relaxed all their attention and were ready to drive the mule and carriage across the river, where would they have thought that they had not encountered an ambush all the way in the mountains, which was about to approach Laiwu City, and they actually encountered an ambush by the river.The devils suffered heavy losses, and the remaining devils immediately reacted.Although they are not front-line combat troops, they have also fought on the battlefield before, and their reaction speed is still very fast.The two sides were shooting frantically at such close range, and from time to time someone fell in a pool of blood.The casualties on both sides were heavy, but the ambush side had already rushed into the devils while the devils were counterattacking.They actually gave up attacking with guns, and instead used slashes, stabs with swords, and even red tassel guns.This once again caught the devils off guard, they were just ready to have a close positional battle with each other, but the other party actually played with swords instead of guns.These ambush people are very clever in using cold weapons, although the devils are good at bayonet assassination, but under the swords of these people, they are weak and vulnerable, and many devils are cut down to the ground in an instant."
Retreat back, reorganize the front, quickly" The squad leader's face turned pale at this time, he had just been transferred from Japan to the Chinese battlefield, and he had no combat experience.With the knowledge he learned in school, he also knew that he had to distance himself from these ambushed squadrons at this time, otherwise the opponent would be outnumbered, and they would soon be completely annihilated.But although the idea is good, it can't be done at this time.There were no less than four hundred people in ambush, and there were less than a hundred devils.If they had separated earlier, they might have been able to successfully retreat with the devil's excellent tactics, but it was a big deal not to have these supplies.But once entangled with these kung fu Chinese, the devils can no longer retreat.One devil after another fell under the sword at close range, and many Chinese were stabbed by the devil's bayonet.But these Chinese in ambush are all fearless of death, even if their stomachs are flowing out, they still roar and fight.An hour later, the battle ended, all 90 devils were killed, and the ambush side also lost almost 70 people, and the casualties on both sides were almost equal.Had it not been for the ambush that attacked first, I am afraid that their casualties would have been even greater."
Lift up the dead brothers and bury them in the mountains.We are all children of this land, and they can be regarded as worthy of death. ”The sturdy man with a crooked machine gun looked at the dead brothers reluctantly, he was the captain of the first batch of martial arts teams trained by Gao Dong a month ago, Bai Yong."
These supplies are all good things, if they are given to the little devils in the city, it will be enough for them to spoil our people for a while."
Bai Yong lifted the curtain on a large cart, revealing a row of weapons."
Captain, we have a lot of brothers again.Just let these weapons be used by them, there will be more and more of us in the future, and I'm afraid we will have to find some bad luck for the devils. ”A thin man in the team said.Bai Yong nodded, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth: "When Captain Gao left, he said that he wanted to make the little devils restless."
Captain Gao has done so many earth-shattering things, we are the first troops he brought out, and we must not disgrace him.Brothers, carry these supplies and evacuate" This small-scale battle of snatching the Japanese army's logistics and transport team outside Laiwu City ended like this, but in Shandong, as long as anything related to the Japanese, it was far from over, but only a beginning.From this day on, Laiwu, Taishan, Weifang, Dezhou, Zaozhuang, Linyi.As long as Gao Dong had been to a place, militants who suddenly appeared one after another continued to harass the Japanese strongholds.Looting transport teams, destroying roads, burning Japanese facilities, assassinating puppet soldiers and traitors.For a time, the whole territory of Shandong was in chaos, and these armed forces still had a tendency to grow.In just ten days, hundreds of skirmishes took place in Shandong, the devils lost nearly a brigade, and the puppet army also lost more than a thousand people.The intercepted materials are as small as the daily needs of the devil defenders in various cities, to the arms and ammunition of the front-line troops, in short, as long as it is related to the devils, those militants hiding in the shadows are interested.And these people are elusive, extremely familiar with the local terrain, as soon as the Japanese army comes, they will immediately disappear without a trace.The Japanese army also tried two large-scale clearances, but they were of no avail.He killed many innocent civilians, but this angered the people of Shandong even more with the anger hidden in their hearts.Many people are willing to endure for the sake of their families and for the sake of what they are protecting.They just want to be a submissive citizen, even if it is a submissive citizen who bears all the humiliation.But the devil doesn't even give them these, and in the process of sweeping, as long as the seemingly suspicious person is killed, there is no mercy.Coupled with the ubiquity of burning, killing and looting, it suddenly provoked more civilian resistance.There are people who come here every day in the military engineering team, and most of them are civilians who have no home and only want revenge.There are also some young people who have given up their studies and returned to their hometowns to fight devils and defend their homeland.Even some elderly people came to the martial arts team, not for anything else, just to drive away the little devils who were rampant in the beautiful land of their hometown.Although there are no regular Chinese troops here, there are more local guerrilla units that are haunting and specialize in fighting guerrillas.They called themselves the Armed Engineers, the Armed Engineers behind enemy lines of the New Fourth Army.And these people are all equipped with Japanese weapons, and in the case of being familiar with the terrain and leaving with one shot, there is almost nothing the devil can do with these people.Soon, the whole of Shandong, except for some big cities, fell into this endless cycle mode that gave them headaches.Their transport roads are no longer safe, and a large force must be sent to escort them.This greatly consumed the strength of the Japanese army, and made the strength of the front line or the occupied area very tight.But even if a large army is escorted, those elusive martial arts teams will still attack them.What gave the devils a headache was that the martial arts team didn't know where to learn mine tactics, and after suffering heavy losses, the devils had to equip each transport unit with sappers to explore the path while advancing.In the land of Shandong, anti-Japanese armed forces are blooming everywhere.This is what Gao Dong wanted, these anti-Japanese forces attracted the attention of more than 30,000 devils and 40,000 puppet troops in just half a month, relieving a lot of pressure on the Xuzhou front.At the same time, he also led his troops, and unknowingly appeared in Shandong again.After lurking for more than half a month, he was about to launch his last attack.Asking for a monthly pass:
