Zhangshangou, the only way to enter Jinshan, Xiangfeng.

On a beam not far from the east, Zhou Cheng and Li Yifan were guarding here for almost two hours, staring at the mountain road and never leaving.

Seeing that there was still no one on the mountain road hundreds of meters away, Li Yifan couldn't hold back at the first place: "Captain, will the squad leader Xiang and others encounter danger outside? Why are they still not here? Should I take people out to pick them up?"

Zhou Cheng was also very nervous.

This is the first time since the village protection team was officially established to face the Japanese and puppet troops and fight against the real regular army.

Although the combat plan was well planned, the troops in hand were too poor. Any accident could lead to the destruction of the entire village protection team, and finally the wife and the army were lost.

When he received the news that Xiang Feng was about to evacuate Zhouzhuang in the morning, his nerves were tense, but he didn't show it.

Looking at Li Yifan, he shook his head and refused: "Wait a minute"

"Xiang Feng has eight guns and more than ten people. The Japanese and puppet troops sent only a few disguised scouts, and they were not qualified. They would definitely not dare to take action rashly."

This wait took half an hour.

Even Zhou Cheng himself couldn't hold back his anger, the shadow of the convoy finally appeared at the end of the mountain road.

Five large trucks were pushed by more than a dozen people and slowly marched into the mountains.

"Captain, it's for the squad leader and the others, I've seen him!"

Zhou Chengchang breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Yifan, you come here in person, connect with Xiangfeng, and take the convoy to the fake station we prepared for the enemy, and rest there first."

"When it gets dark, we will secretly transport the food and supplies that the squad leader brought into the mountains to our real camp."

Li Yifang immediately took the order: "I'll go there now!"

The fake station was built by Xiang Feng and Class 2. He knew very well that every grass and tree there, so no one was more suitable for this task than him.

When he returned to the stronghold in Donghui Town, Zhang Fugui hurried into Okazaki's office: "Tajun, the investigation troops have found out!"

"The Eighth Route Army's new foothold is in Jinshan. This is a mountain with a radius of several kilometers. The terrain inside is narrow and the vegetation is dense. It is an excellent place for Tibetans. These Eighth Route Army soldiers are so good at picking places."

"Fortunately, we followed the exact location of their base. If we blindly went into the mountains to search, the entire stronghold troops would not be able to find them."

Okazaki quickly found the area where Nishiyama was located on the map, and then agreed: "You are right, there is no exact location. It is indeed more difficult to find a dozen people in such a large mountain forest than to find a needle in a haystack."

"They were hiding there, and I could hardly wait to lead the troops into the mountain to kill them."

"Here!" Zhang Fugui pointed to a point on the map to introduce it.

"After entering the mountain from Zhangshangou, you can see a mountain pass after walking three or four kilometers along the winding mountain road. The Eighth Route Army hid in the valley behind the mountain pass, which is a very hidden location."

"The investigator also reported that this camp was built in advance by the Eighth Route Army. There were more than a dozen wooden shacks. In addition, the Eighth Route Army that had just entered the mountain, the total strength was no more than twenty people, each with a rifle. I haven't seen the light machine guns we sold to them for the time being."

"I judge that these two light machine guns are no longer in their hands."

"The Eighth Route Army is notorious for poor equipment. With light machine guns, it will definitely be given to the main force as soon as possible. There are only a dozen people in this Eighth Route Army, and maybe there are not even a single machine gunner. It would be a miracle that it would be possible to equip them with light machine guns. It would be a waste of such good equipment."

Okazaki thought for a while and agreed: "It's true that this is possible!"

"If this Eighth Route Army really didn't have light machine guns, it would be easier for us to eliminate them."

"It's eight o'clock in the evening now, and it's not suitable to send troops."

"I decided to send troops on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning and enter the mountain to kill this Eighth Route Army."

"The Imperial Army dispatches two squads, and Company Commander Zhang, you dispatch two platoons."

"The Imperial Army carries two light machine guns and two grenade launchers, and your Imperial Army carries one light machine gun."

"A five times the advantage of military strength, three light machine guns and two grenade launchers, even if this Eighth Route Army hides into the mountains as a mouse, I will pull them out and chop them off to vent my hatred!"

On the top of the beam on the east side of Zhangshan Valley, it was still the same as yesterday. Zhou Cheng, Xiang Feng, Li Yifang... several backbone members of the village protection team gathered here.

"Captain, do you think the Japanese will really come to attack us today?" Xiang Feng asked with a doubt.

Zhou Cheng replied without hesitation: "I will definitely come."

"After passing this village, there will be no store. Jinshan is so big. If we move to another location, all the Japanese and puppet troops in the East Return stronghold will not be able to find us."

"It's hard to follow the clues to find the fake garrison we prepared for him. As long as the Japanese commander is a little sensible, he will not miss this excellent opportunity to destroy us."

"The Japanese and puppet troops set off at 8 o'clock normally, and now they are around 10 o'clock. They should be able to get here in another hour!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared at the end of the mountain road and ran towards everyone frantically.

"It's Tang Shengbo!" Xiang Feng shouted.

According to the agreement, as a prisoner, Tang Shengbo should have taken six o'clock yesterday to leave.

Unexpectedly, he chose not to leave at the last moment and took the initiative to ask to join the village protection team.

In his own words: before joining the Zhou family's guards, he was a gangster who was beaten by everyone, without any parents, and after eating the whole meal, no one was buried even after death.

After finally joining the Zhou family's guards, he could have enough food. However, he unexpectedly had the hat of a traitor on his head and was still looked down upon.

At this time, the village protection team came. Following the village protection team not only had food and oceans, but also was regarded as a hero by the villagers. In case of an accident, the brothers of the village protection team could help them collect the body...

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Tang Shengbo decided not to eat this meal like before and did not have the rest of the meal. He was spoiled by the villagers and beaten up.

Before leaving, he decided to join the village protection team.

Zhou Cheng did not refuse.

Although he did not join the village protection team simply to fight the Japanese, and his purpose was not so pure, Zhou Cheng was confident in the ideological and political work of the Eighth Route Army.

It won't take long to complete Tang Shengbo and become a qualified Eighth Route Army.

Tang Shengbo was smart enough, and he was a local snake in Donghui Town, and a good seedling for being a scout.

With the idea of ​​making the best use of things, Zhou Cheng immediately ordered him to go to Donghui Town to monitor every move of the Japanese and puppet troops, and reported the situation as soon as possible.

Of course, Zhou Cheng would not be stupid enough to press treasure on Tang Shengbo alone.

There were two team members lurking around the Donghui Town stronghold like him, performing reconnaissance missions.

No matter who it is, as long as someone sends back the news of the Japanese and puppet troops in advance, this person will be the future squad leader of the village protection team.

This is Zhou Cheng’s promise to several people.

Now Tang Shengbo is the first to come back. As long as the information he brought back is accurate enough, his judgment of him will be right. He does have the potential to be a scout.
Chapter completed!
