The reorganization of the guerrillas into the Third Battalion of the National Salvation Army did not cause much sensation.

At this time, the anti-Japanese armed forces in various parts of North China were like mushrooms after a rain, and they were constantly emerging. Some were incorporated by the enemy-behind forces of the Jinsui Army, some were incorporated by the Eighth Route Army, some were wiped out by the Japanese and puppet troops, or directly surrendered to the Japanese and Japanese as traitors...

The Donghui Town guerrillas are just an unknown guerrilla team on the battlefield in North China and are not worthy of attention from all parties.

But this incident attracted the attention of the Japanese.

It is difficult to deal with a guerrilla team in Donghui Town. Now a stronger national rescue army emerges. Isn’t this a slap in the face of the Japanese?

Major Fujita was very angry.

He called the wing command and the brigade command within one day, asking the superiors to send reinforcements to him as soon as possible to make up for the loss.

"Sir, I found out the information about the National Salvation Army!" The intelligence officer leaped into Fujita's office to report.

An expectation flashed across Fujita's face, and he had a serious order: "Tell me quickly, how are their strength?"

The captain handed the sorted information to Fujita while introducing it.

"The National Salvation Army claimed to the outside world that it had a regiment of troops, but in fact it only had a reinforcement battalion force."

"The National Salvation Army Headquarters and the first and second battalions are stationed in Zhangzhuang Town, with a force of about one battalion."

"The Imperial Army's troops stationed in Zhangzhuang Town are limited. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, they voluntarily gave up Zhangzhuang Town and returned to the county town."

"The day after the National Salvation Army entered Zhangzhuang Town, it erected a sign of recruitment and expanded its troops."

"The Third Battalion of the National Salvation Army was adapted from the original Donghui Town guerrillas. They were stationed in Donghui Town, and they were also recruiting troops."

"Because the rule of the Shanxi-Sui Army was pacified for at least ten years, the people trusted them very much, and in just two or three days, many people signed up to join the National Salvation Army."

Fujita cursed dissatisfied and cursed: "These unlucky people are so hateful. When the Imperial Army eliminates the National Rescue Army, they will definitely look good."

After scolding, he turned his eyes to the map and pointed at Zhangzhuang Town and asked: "I'll introduce the situation of the garrison here, the more detailed the better."

"Hi!" The intelligence consultant continued: "A battalion stationed in Zhangzhuang Town was drawn from the rear by the Jinsui Army."

"We have troops who have fought with them. They have average combat effectiveness and many new recruits. They are equipped with two mortars and two heavy machine guns. All the remaining ones are light infantry weapons."

Fujita thought about it and analyzed: "There are many new recruits, their combat effectiveness and equipment are not as good as they imagined. Maybe the combat effectiveness of these more than 300 people is not as good as the Donghui Town guerrillas with more than 100 people!"

The adjutant will not miss all the opportunities to flatter.

Last time, he led his troops back to Zhangzhuang Town and returned home in a defeat. Although he saved the position under his butt, the captain obviously did not trust him as much as before.

I finally encountered an opportunity that could improve the relationship between the two parties, so I must not miss it, and I said with a compliment and support.

"Sir, wise! As long as the intelligence is fine, the combat effectiveness of the Third Battalion of the National Salvation Army will definitely exceed the first and second battalions."

"The Chinese have a saying that picking persimmons and pinching them. Beizhi believes that we can first eliminate the first and second battalions with poor combat effectiveness, and then concentrate our troops and firepower to eliminate our old opponents: the Third Battalion of the National Salvation Army!"

The garrison of the pacification army did not have the strength to swallow all the troops of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in one go, and even if the superiors made up for all the previous losses of the troops, Fujita still knew this.

In addition, the troops suffered a loss just now, and Fujita didn't want to argue with the guerrillas in Donghui Town as soon as they came up. In that case, the morale of the troops would definitely not be improved.

He decided to agree with the adjutant's proposal, first attack the weak, use them to practice their hands, and at the same time improve the morale of the troops.

After they were beaten, the army's morale and morale recovered, and then concentrated their troops and firepower to deal with the third battalion of the National Rescue Army, which is its old rival, Donghui Town Guerrillas.

Looking at the adjutant, he showed a rare smile on his face: "Just follow your plan, I will give you two days to make a complete combat plan. If you don't know about intelligence, you will directly ask the intelligence department, and they will cooperate with you unconditionally."

The deputy chief breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had bet on the right compliment just now, the captain began to accept himself again, and promised confidently: "Don't worry, this humble position will definitely not disappoint you..."

Zhangzhuang Town was originally the home of Zhang Town, and the National Salvation Army took it as soon as it took the town and built the National Salvation Army headquarters.

After settling down, Commander Wang did two things: recruit soldiers and raise food and grass.

Before the troops move, food and grass will come first. If the troops want to expand, they must have enough food, otherwise they will not be able to eat enough. Who will work hard for the national rescue army?

The two companies of the national-savior army divided into two groups, pulled a cart and led the ocean, and raised food and grass from surrounding villages in their own way.

A company of the National Salvation Army scattered the ocean to various villages to recruit new recruits...

Today is the fifth day of the National Salvation Army's entry into Zhangzhuang Town. According to the agreement, the troops that went out to conquer grain and recruit new recruits will come back today.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Commander Wang appeared at the entrance of the town on time and looked very worried about the military rations and new recruits of the National Saving Army.

"Report to the commander, the grain collection team is back, and many big trucks are brought back, all of which are equipped with food!"

"It's great, the army has food to eat..." Commander Wang said happily, and after two seconds, he directly ordered: "After the grain is in the warehouse, let the two company commanders come to the command center immediately. I have something to ask them."

The two company commanders appeared together in front of Commander Wang in just ten minutes, and their faces were filled with joy. They reported excitedly: "Commander, this grain collection went very smoothly."

"A total of 18 trucks of grain were collected, totaling 32,000 kilograms, enough for us to eat for at least two months."

"Half of the food we collect from the people, and half of it is bought with the ocean."

"The people are very supportive of our fight against Japan and the Japanese, and they sell our food to us at half price."

"It would have cost at least 150 yuan to buy 16,000 kilograms of grain, but the villagers only had fifty yuan and had one hundred yuan left."

"Before leaving, we brought three hundred oceans. We were originally used to buy food, but only fifty yuan was used. This is the remaining two hundred and fifty yuan. Please accept it by the commander!"

After saying that, the two company commanders took out the ocean and placed it on the table.

Commander Wang was not polite and accepted 150 of them, and then pushed back the remaining 100 of them: "I reward everyone these oceans, you two will share them."

"But you must explain to your brothers below. The more than 30,000 kilograms of grain you brought back today were all bought from the ocean, and it cost a total of 300 yuan."

The two company commanders looked at each other and saw a hint of greed in each other's eyes. They quickly put away their oceans: "Don't worry, commander, we know what to do!"

It turned out that Commander Wang pretended to be worried at the entrance of the town.

What he really has to wait for is not food, but the benefits that the grain collection team can bring to him this action.

As for the people of Zhangzhuang Town, they supported their fight against the Japanese, and they sold half and gave them food, and they also paid the grain tax actively... they were compiled casually by the two company commanders.

The truth is: after entering the village, they directly distribute grain to the people, if they don’t pay it, write down the IOU, calculate the interest rate based on usury, and wait for the autumn harvest to be paid together with the principal and interest.

The common people are not stupid. Once they have loans to the loan, they will never pay off the profits. Therefore, they can only swallow all kinds of dissatisfaction and hand over the food.

As for half selling and half giving away, it is more like a forced buying and selling directed and performed by the National Savior Army.

The people were pointed at by the black gun, and they couldn't do it even if they wanted to sell it.

Moreover, they used the righteousness of anti-Japanese war to suppress everyone as soon as they came up, as if they were traitors if they didn't sell food for the national saving army.

In order to avoid trouble, the villagers had to compromise.

During the entire grain collection process, the only better thing in the National Salvation Army than the Japanese and puppet troops was that they did not kill people, and they were comparable in other aspects.

At the headquarters of the National Salvation Army, Commander Wang locked himself in the room to count the property.

Before the Japanese called, Wang Dehou was the head of the security team. Of course, this position was also bought with money.

I thought I could get a lot of wealth from the position of the leader, but the Japanese called me and my dream of making money was shattered overnight.

At that time, he also wanted to surrender to the Japanese and become traitors and continue to stay in his hometown to make money.

But the county magistrate did not give him this opportunity, and took him and the security team to abandon the city and flee before the Japanese came.

Because he became a deserter, the county magistrate was arrested as soon as he arrived in the rear, and his whereabouts were unknown.

I am just a security commander, and my subordinates are running away on the way to escape, with less than fifty left, and there are no backstages, so I am not welcome anywhere.

I heard that the war zone was about to establish an anti-Japanese government and a national rescue army behind enemy lines. Wang Dehou, who was worried that there was no way out, signed up without hesitation.

Instead of being looked down upon in the rear, it is better to go to the enemy's back to take a gamble.

No matter what the result is, you will be the boss when you are behind enemy lines, with power and power, and you can still make money without being angry.

If the National Salvation Army is defeated by the Japanese, he can still use the ocean he has gained to run to the rear to be a rich man.

But this is the worst plan, and Wang Dehou will never let it happen.

Before taking office, he had thought that when the National Salvation Army really couldn't survive behind enemy lines, he would definitely surrender to the Japanese before the National Salvation Army was eliminated.

This idea came into being when the Japanese captured their hometown.

When he was disliked by others in the rear, Wang Dehou thought about this question more than once.

If I had surrendered to the Japanese with my security regiment at that time, because I had troops in my hands, the Japanese would at least have been appointed as a battalion commander.

He also specifically learned about this.

Many officers who surrendered to the Japanese in the enemy-occupied areas were highly valued by the Japanese because they had troops in their hands.

Therefore, as soon as the National Salvation Army entered pacification, he began to recruit soldiers, which could not only increase his strength, but also serve as the negotiating capital for his future surrender to the Japanese.

When it really reaches that point, if there are more troops in your hands, the Japanese will definitely value themselves more and give themselves a higher position.

As for fighting the Japanese, it also increases the capital for his future surrender to the Japanese.

If Zhou Cheng knew that Wang Dehou came to the enemy with this idea, he would definitely lament that he was in a difficult situation with the tiger and was under great pressure!
