    The Japs moved very quickly. It was difficult for these unarmed people to escape the Japs' pursuit with their families and miscellaneous things. Liu Zhenghong immediately mobilized cadres and militia to do work for the people and help them clear the country.  Everything that cannot be taken away is hidden, and people must pack lightly.  )

    After some earnest persuasion and hard work of clearing the country, the common people finally followed the troops on the road. However, the start of the transfer of soldiers and civilians was delayed by several hours than scheduled.

    Liu Zhenghong is responsible for covering the safe transfer of the people here. According to the pre-war plan, they need to move to the southwest, because there is a large beach in the southwest. Now that the water has fallen in winter, the beach is exposed. In addition, there are also  There are some unharvested yellow reeds and water plants, and many people can be hidden here.  .

    Yuan Dabeard¡¯s side is currently relatively calm, and the main forces in his hands have not yet moved. This is mainly because the island side is constantly being ambushed by militiamen and small units of the Eighth Route Army.

    On the Chinese battlefield, the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla tactics of fighting when they can and leaving when they can't are extremely effective. In most cases, the scale of each battle is small, but it can achieve unexpected results.  The so-called "accumulating small victories into big victories" means that a few were injured at this location and a few were killed at that location. The losses suffered by the Japanese and puppet troops each time are not worth mentioning, but when accumulated, they are still a considerable amount.  This kind of loss was unbearable for the Japanese army, whose military resources were increasingly depleted.

    The Japs were very angry with this method of warfare. They tried every means to crack it, but for the righteous divisions supported by tens of millions of people, the angry divisions with the strong will to kill the enemy and serve the country, and the determination to fight to the death to be benevolent.  For an army with a decisive spirit, all the enemy's methods are difficult to succeed.

    An Eighth Route Army blockade seems to be possible at any time. Their troops come and go without a trace. The Japanese have no choice but to passively engage in battle.  So they became more and more cautious, and the team moved more and more slowly.

    The Eighth Route Army is in emergency action, the people who need to be relocated on Liu Zhenghong's side have already begun to move, and Yuan Dabeard is also holding back the troops on the island.  Everything is proceeding in accordance with the pre-war deployment. At least from the current point of view, the so-called raids by the Japanese and puppet troops will be fruitless as usual.

    The team on the island crawled forward slowly like a snail. Although they were blocked by militia teams from time to time, the team on the island was not in a hurry to move forward. He ordered the forward troops to just drive away the opponents.  The order in *qududu** Island was appreciated by his subordinates.  Although pursuit is very morale-boosting, if you leave the large force to pursue, the probability of combatant casualties will inevitably rise sharply. After all, everyone comes to China to gain military exploits, not to die. Who would be stupid enough to do so before obtaining military exploits?  To die?

    Time passed by minute by minute, and the sun had already set in the west. In a while, the raiding troops would be stationed and camped.  This day seems to be over just like this.

    Could the Japanese really be able to defeat the Eighth Route Army in the Hu family's shack with just the few people on the island?

    At four o'clock in the afternoon, a stuffy train stopped on time in Luocun and the doors opened.  A large number of Japanese and puppet troops got off the train.  Under the command of the officers, after a brief period of chaos, groups of well-trained Japanese and puppet troops were organized. With their guns on their shoulders and their swords out of their sheaths, they marched towards the Hu family shack in neat lines.  .

    Luocun is located in the southeast of the First Military Division of the Eighth Route Army. This is also the place where Yuan Dabeard bombed the Japanese railway to obtain supplies.  Although this is not a large market town with a dense population, nor is it a particularly important transportation hub, there is an old official road nearby, which leads directly to the area where the front line is currently fighting.

    Because China¡¯s territory is vast, the Japanese army¡¯s front line is stretched.  The railway and road transportation of the Japanese and puppet troops has reached an extreme state.  In order to ensure the lowest supply of ammunition and food to the front line, the Japanese army began to use animal power for transportation, and places along the railway line such as Luocun, which were close to official roads, were converted into transportation transfer stations.

    The Japanese built a strong bunker next to the railway and surrounded it with a large yard surrounded by walls.  If the war requires it, the train will temporarily stop here, and the supplies on the train will be stored in this large yard.  Then the Japanese transport troops transported these materials to the front line through mules and horses.

    This transfer station is not frequently used, so only one squad of puppet troops is stationed there daily. Once supplies need to be transferred, the Japanese will deploy Japanese troops from other units to strengthen defense.

    The Japs¡¯ transportation and supply lines have always been the focus of the Chinese Army¡¯s attacks, and even occasionally used transportation nodes like Luocun are not immune.  In order to unplug this transportation node, the Eighth Route Army has carried out several attacks and eliminated the standing puppet troops.  However, because the transfer station here must be maintained well, the Japanese have repeatedly destroyed the transfer station here.The station was retaken and the troops were re-strengthened to build this transfer station.

    Because the Eighth Route Army always took advantage of the surrounding terrain and attacked the transfer station through night attacks, the Japanese also learned their lessons and came up with some countermeasures.

    The devils' method was not complicated. They drove away several surrounding households, knocked down all the houses, and cut down all the surrounding trees. They also ordered nearby farmers not to grow crops within five miles of the yard.  .  As a result, a large open space was formed around the transfer station, and the Japanese and puppet troops had a large buffer area. In order to beautify this bad behavior, the Japanese euphemistically said that clearing the shooting boundary was not their purpose. They wanted to ensure the "Greater East Asia"  "Co-Prosperity Sphere" security to ensure that "good people" are not harassed by foreigners.

    The person who led the troops to Luocun this time was a captain of the Japanese army. Their total strength was two Japanese squadrons, plus two puppet army squadrons. The commander who led the troops to mop up the village this time was Major Iijima.

    For this solemn battle, the Japanese had stored some supplies at the Luozhuang transfer station. Major Iijima ordered the Japanese soldiers to bring enough food and ammunition for three days of combat, and then set off in an emergency as a team; and the two squadrons  The puppet troops were responsible for assisting the attack. They brought the remaining supplies and followed the Japanese soldiers led by Iijima.

    This so-called "Supreme Operation" was an important operation organized by the Japanese army in North China. Since the July 7th Incident, on the frontal battlefield, the main force of the Japanese army has made rapid progress, which can be described as a thousand miles a day. However, in the occupied areas and along the transportation lines,  However, the Locust Army cannot guarantee peace in various areas. Instead, these areas are increasingly being dragged away by each other.

    The threat of the Chinese guerrilla forces represented by the Communist Party to the areas occupied by the Japanese and puppet troops became increasingly serious. After repeated attacks, the Japanese began to pay attention to this method of warfare. They mobilized some so-called tactical experts to conduct specialized research, and finally came to the conclusion  One way to crack this is to march lightly and use highly mobile light troops to deal with China's guerrilla forces.

    After getting off the bus, Iijima simply organized the troops, and then led the main Japanese troops to immediately advance to the predetermined combat area, while the puppet troops accompanying the team were responsible for logistical supplies and stabilizing the rear.  The puppet army will not participate in this offensive operation. This was also decided before the war.  After repeated setbacks in previous attacks, the Japanese army could almost conclude that these Imperial Alliance troops failed more than they succeeded. Since these bad teams could not fight, they could no longer count on them. Therefore, the Japanese army in North China only used the puppet troops as assistance.  .

    This change in tactics by the Japanese also caught both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party by surprise.  A large part of the intelligence sources of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War troops came from these puppet troops. Now the puppet troops have no marching goals and no specific combat missions. The intelligence personnel of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party do not know the enemy's specific combat plans. This is a big problem for this time.  Counter-mopping operations brought huge confusion.

    On Liu Zhenghong's side, the Eighth Route Army still adopted the previously effective anti-mopping up methods to respond to the enemy. The main force commanded by Yuan Dabeard was dealing with the Japanese and puppet troops on the island, and the team commanded by Liu Zhenghong was leading the people to what they believed to be  The safe zone is shifting.  Therefore, on Iijima's march route, except for sporadic blocking by some militiamen, there was no organized resistance. Iijima's troops marched quickly. They quickly advanced more than 20 miles before dark.  According to the marching speed of the troops in the island, they will penetrate deep into the hinterland of the First Military Division of the Eighth Route Army in Northern Henan tomorrow.

    It cannot be said that Daozhong's actions were not rapid, but the information transmitted by the Eighth Route Army and Li Qinglin was also very fast. When the Japanese soldiers led by Daozhong were on the way, the information that the Japanese army had new troops and had been put into the battlefield was passed to Li Qinglin and Liu Zhenghong.  .

    At the headquarters of the ninth detachment in Qinghe Town, Li Qinglin convened a meeting with all the officers he could summon overnight. The topic of this military meeting was the current issue of the Japanese and puppet troops' serious operations.

    The meeting started after dinner. There were many candles lit in the conference room of the ninth detachment, so the conference room was quite bright.  Because it has been determined that the two groups of Japs are heading towards the Eighth Route, there is no danger yet in the Ninth Detachment. All the people participating in this meeting looked very relaxed. Everyone was smoking, chatting and joking, and the atmosphere in the conference room was  Very enthusiastic.

    "Boss, the Japs are obviously heading towards the Eighth Route Army this time. There's no need for us to be so nervous, right?" After Zhang Ergou listened to the enemy's report, he puffed out a puff of smoke and said with a smile.

    "Captain Zhang, although the enemy is in the Eighth Route Defense Zone, they are right under our noses." Han Jizhong stood up, walked to the map, picked up the indicator stick and pointed at the mark on the map: "Come down from Luocun  The Japanese troops should stay away from us, but the troops from the island center that initially went south are not far from our Niuwang Village. It only takes a day or two for them to reach Captain Xu¡¯s large group in a straight line. If they suddenly turn around and head north, we will?I have to be on guard.  "

    Liang Xixian looked at the map and said with some doubts: "Aren't the Japs led by Dao Zhong mixed with the Eighth Route Army? Could they be able to get out and attack us?" (To be continued.
