    In order to minimize the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army and destroy the physical fitness of the Chinese people, and at the same time to maximize the destruction of China's economy and plunder wealth from the Chinese people, the Japanese invaders carried out various economic wars in the occupied areas.  , for example, the ¡°salt interruption¡± strategy that has been implemented is one of them.

    For the Chinese people in the occupied areas, the Japanese asked them to buy it at a high price every month. Therefore, many Chinese people cannot afford expensive salt. For example, many poor people in northern Henan have been eating salt-free meals for a long time.  Local people call salty meals salty rice, and salt-free meals sweet rice. Many children are very eager to eat a full meal of salty rice.

    But for the Japanese soldiers, salt is too easy to obtain.  In addition to the rations given to them by the military, the Japs could also deduct the rations of the puppet troops at will. They could even plunder some from merchants at will. Salt, which is very precious in the eyes of the Chinese people, was actually worthless to the Japs soldiers.  value.

    The young man holding the chicken was not willing to have his only wealth taken away by the Japs. The Japs Bing was certainly not a fool. Of course he saw what the young man was thinking.  Because the military headquarters and the dispatched troops have repeatedly ordered that in order not to arouse public anger, all Japanese military personnel must strictly observe military discipline in their occupied areas. Therefore, the Japanese soldiers now changed their method of openly robbing. The first thing they thought of was exchanging salt for the people.  items in hand.

    The salt in the small paper bag did not seem to be worth the chicken and eggs, and the young man was not willing to exchange it. The two Japanese soldiers were anxious. They danced and gestured, and at the same time bargained with the young man in Chinese, which they were not very proficient in.

    The Japanese¡¯s weird tunes and funny actions attracted the attention of the people. Even the puppet soldiers who were searching were distracted by the situation here. They also relaxed a little during the search, and the people passed the customs much faster.

    The Japanese jabbered and danced for a long time, but the young man still insisted not to change.  Some people who had passed the customs were not in a hurry to go to the market. They gathered around with burdens and goods to watch the fun.  Seeing that they couldn't find any bargains, the Japs began to get angry. The Japs soldier with a gun glared.  He stretched out his hand to take off the big gun to scare the young man.

    At this moment, the people watching on the side also started to take action.  Between the lightning and flint, two sharp daggers were inserted into the chests of the two Japanese.  At the same time, someone blocked the devil's mouth.  Some people snatched the guns from the Japs' hands, while others pulled out rifles from their bodies, vegetables on their burdens, and bundles of firewood.  These people stared at the puppet soldiers coldly with their guns in hand. The guns in their hands were all opened wide. Everyone's fingers were on the triggers, and the bullets seemed to be fired at any time.

    At this time, someone shouted in a low voice: "Don't move, we are the Eighth Route Army!"

    These people are really bad guys.  They were the team led by Liu Zhenghong. They left Iijima's troops far behind. They arrived here overnight and quickly hid themselves.

    When the sky was dim, pedestrians began to appear on the road. Liu Zhenghong sent soldiers to buy the items in the hands of the people, and then disguised themselves as ordinary people and gathered in batches at the checkpoint in Yanglou Village.  What happened just now was the result of the cooperation between Liu Zhenghong and the soldiers. They took control of the small bridge before the enemy could react.

    The puppet army was frightened by the news of the Eighth Route Army. These two devils who usually show off their power in front of the people now dare not move at all.  The Eighth Route Army soldiers dropped the bolts of the rifles they had grabbed and searched for the ammunition.

    The knife of the Eighth Route Army scout was so sharp and accurate that the two Japs died before they even had time to grunt.  And very dead.  Liu Zhenghong commanded two puppet soldiers to support the two Japs from behind. Some Eighth Route Army soldiers pretending to be ordinary people were still surrounding the two dead Japs soldiers. Viewed from the bunker, it seemed that the two Japs were still bargaining.  .

    The movements here were extremely fast and secretive, and the people on the other side of the bunker were not aware of it at all. Liu Zhenghong slowly approached the bunker with soldiers dressed as ordinary people. They quickly occupied the bunker before the enemies in the bunker could react.

    Liu Zhenghong and the others captured this important stronghold without firing a single shot.  At this stronghold, Liu Zhenghong and the others got a short rest and received valuable supplies of food and ammunition.

    Liu Zhenghong¡¯s tactics were extremely successful this time.  The news was also blocked so well that after this stronghold was taken down by the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese and puppet troops knew nothing about other places, including of course Iijima who was in hot pursuit.

    Although there was a delay last night, and although it was difficult to find the Eighth Route retreat direction at night, there was nothing wrong with the route that Iijima and the others followed closely, because it was all the way.  Iijima and the others always find some clues at the most critical moments, such as some equipment abandoned by the Eighth Route Army on the roadside, and some items accidentally left behind by the Eighth Route Army soldiers.  Even when the locust army completely lost eightWhen looking at the traces of the march, some "good people" stood up to show the way to the locust army.

    Iijima¡¯s actions were swift. When Iijima¡¯s troops arrived near the stronghold of Yanglou Village, the troops led by Iijima arrived at the small bridge in Yanglou Village around nine o¡¯clock in the morning.  Iijima's troops were delayed a lot last night. In order to catch up with the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible, Iijima's troops didn't even have time to eat breakfast.  The soldiers were naturally tired and hungry, but these imperial warriors had no complaints so far, because everyone found that the Eighth Route Army seemed to have reached the point of being defeated.

    On the way to "escape" from the Eighth Route Army, the soldiers not only found some tattered shoes and socks that were obviously exclusive to the Eighth Route Army, but now they also found a broken gun with smoothed rifling.  Iijima knew that the Eighth Route Army was in short supply of equipment, and even if it was such a broken gun that should have been scrapped, they would not abandon it until absolutely necessary.  The Eighth Route Army cannot even hold their weapons now, which means that they have reached the end of their strength.

    Last night, Iijima was shocked when he learned that Liu Zhenghong and the others were marching to their own occupied area after breaking through.  Iijima knew that in order to drive the Eighth Route Army out of the northern Henan region once and for all, basically all the troops capable of field combat in the occupied area have been mobilized. What is left now are some basic defensive forces. If the Eighth Route Army really rushes in,  , these garrison forces simply cannot resist.

    Liu Zhenghong and the others seemed to just want to enter the Japanese-occupied area, but Iijima was not very worried because some signs discovered by his soldiers showed that the Eighth Route Army was now very weak. It was already difficult to march quickly, let alone fighting.  .

    The Eighth Route Army in front seems to have reached the final moment, and the current state of the troops led by Iijima is not very good.  The soldiers were tired and hungry, and now they had a stronghold of their own. When they passed by the Yanglou Village stronghold, they used binoculars to check the situation of the stronghold.

    The stronghold in front looks very peaceful. There is a plaster flag on the bunker, which is now flying high in the bright sunshine. The checkpoints next to the stronghold are also normal. The Locust Army and the Imperial Alliance Army seem to be checking pedestrians carefully. Those who pass by  The people at the checkpoint seemed to be very obedient, and they all accepted the inspection honestly.

    Yanglou Village is his stronghold. The sun flag on the bunker is flying high. The soldiers around Iijima are looking at it with eager eyes. They all hope to take a rest on their own territory and drink a sip of hot soup to warm themselves up.  Body, eat a rice ball to fill your stomach.  However, Iijima did not give the order to rest. He gritted his teeth and continued to ask his warriors to march towards the final victory.

    Liu Zhenghong is currently in the bunker in Yanglou Village. He is now wearing a puppet army uniform.  After dealing with the Japanese and puppet troops, Liu Zhenghong immediately asked the soldiers to change into the enemy's military uniforms. The Locust Army and the Imperial Association Army currently pretending to inspect at the bridge checkpoint were actually Eighth Route Army soldiers.

    Seeing that the yellow dust in the distance was getting closer, and the Japanese plaster flag gradually emerged from the yellow dust, Liu Zhenghong knew that the pursuing Japanese had arrived.

    After capturing this stronghold, Liu Zhenghong's people took the time to have breakfast and then took a short rest. Now they are all in combat mode.

    Iijima¡¯s troops have already approached this stronghold. They are likely to come to the stronghold to rest and recuperate. Then there will definitely be a battle, but Liu Zhenghong is not very worried.

    The stronghold of Yanglou Village is not very big, but because it is on the edge of the occupied area, its bunkers are very strong.  Completely different from the earthen bunkers deep in enemy-occupied areas, this bunker in Yanglou Village was actually made of cement and stone. Without artillery for attacking fortresses, it would not be easy to open such a bunker.

    In addition to the strong fortifications, Liu Zhenghong and the others have already seized a lot of ammunition. It is not difficult to fight a beautiful blocking battle here.  Moreover, the sick and wounded have been left halfway, and several scouts have also been sent out. Liu Zhenghong currently has more than forty people on his hands. These people are all strong young men who have just gained valuable rest time.  If Iijima's attack really cannot be stopped, the current state of the troops can easily break away from the tired enemy.

    From the telescope, Liu Zhenghong discovered that the Japanese troops only stayed nearby for a while, and then they left again soon.  Liu Zhenghong knew that his troops were very successful in hiding in the stronghold. In addition, the scouts he sent out were also very successful in forging marching traces. Iijima must be following the "traces" to chase those "warehouses".  Eighth Route Army ran away in panic.

    The Japanese¡¯s retreating figure was no longer visible, and Liu Zhenghong felt completely relieved.  Liu Zhenghong left a squad of soldiers to guard the disarmed puppet troops, and then took the remaining thirty or so people on the journey again.  But this time they did not go east, but turned south and then west.  Liu Zhenghong will lead his people back to his base area and look for opportunities to fight for a few more days along the way.A stronghold of the puppet army.

    Just when Iijima was struggling to pursue Liu Zhenghong and couldn't catch him, the battle situation on Shimada's side was also extremely difficult.  To be continued.  .
