Chapter 70, The Cage Conspiracy

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket.

……

Zhao Gang stood at the entrance of the village and waited for a long time just like a husband-watching stone.

People finally came back.

Yuan Lang swung his tired legs, took two quick steps to meet him: "Commissar, I'm so sorry for your trouble."

"What's the big deal? You are a great hero of our regiment. If you take such a big risk to work in the enemy and puppet area, I should come out to greet you, shouldn't you?"

The political commissar greeted Yuan Lang enthusiastically.

Now the enemy and counterfeit activities are very rampant, in the Japanese-occupied area, there may be some troubles.

Set up Luca, grab the strong men who passed by, and get them to repair trenches and gun towers.Similar things have not happened before.

Intelligence agents of the Eighth Route Army have encountered it.

In Zhao Gang's view, Yuan Lang was so concerned about the Eighth Route Army that he took the risk to go to the Japanese-occupied area.

What spirit is this?
This is the spirit of internationalism!
And patriotism.

What Yuan Lang did was worthy of him.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Gang also noticed the man and woman who came back with Yuan Lang.

"The two of them are..."

Yuan Lang glanced back at Wang Youliang and his wife, and told Commissar Zhao what happened in Baijia Village.

"Political commissar, after something like that happened, the two of them couldn't stay in that village anymore. That man is quite bloody, so I will help him to the end.

Political commissar, it is also your responsibility to do mass work, and these two people are left to you. "

Alas, Zhao Gang sighed, not only felt sympathy for what happened to these two people, but also felt sad for the insensitivity of the villagers.

What can he say?

Accusing the villagers of their numbness and ignorance, they actually acted as accomplices to traitors?

I'm afraid it can't be that way.

The government is more responsible, it is the weakness of this great country that allows the vicious and barbaric little devils to succeed.

The army can't protect the people, so let the people face the devil's bayonet?
Still the same sentence, we should strengthen ourselves and drive the enemy out of China.

At that time, such a thing will not happen.

The political commissar called a soldier and asked him to lead the couple to settle down.

On the way back side by side, he thought of another phenomenon reflected in this incident——the devils are stepping up the construction of gun towers and trenches.

"According to the information reported by the county brigade and district squad, and some guerrillas, the Japanese and puppet troops have accelerated the construction of artillery towers, ditches, and blockhouses.

Artificially created isolation zones, making their activities less and less, making it more difficult for them to move around.

I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now it seems that this matter has to be taken seriously. "

Zhao Gang is still the same, he may not have paid attention to this matter before.It's just using today's pretext to express the importance it attaches to Yuan Lang.

Another purpose is to see Yuan Lang's attitude and whether he knows something.

Although it was not stated explicitly, the top leaders of the Eighth Route Army all had a common understanding, that is, there must be a big force behind Yuan Lang.

Intelligence is also not to be underestimated.

As long as Yuan Lang knew that it was useful to fight against the Japanese, and there was no threat to him, he naturally knew everything without saying anything.

Regarding the reason for the devil's movement, he thought about it for a while and then recalled: "This operation, in the devil's internal documents, is called Operation Cage."

"Oh?" Zhao Gang expressed curiosity in a timely manner.

In fact, this is entirely because the Eighth Route Army developed too fast in the base areas behind the enemy lines, which made the Japanese army vigilant and made targeted countermeasures.

The "cage policy" was a vicious conspiracy planned by Tada Toshi, the newly appointed commander of the Japanese North China Front Army last year.

Its basic feature is to use the railway as the pillar, the road as the chain, and the fort as the lock, and then use the blockade ditch and the blockade wall as auxiliary.

Sweep from the enemy-occupied areas to the anti-Japanese base areas.

The cage policy was originally an extremely cruel reactionary policy invented by German imperialism to rule the colonial people.

The Japanese and puppets borrowed it in an attempt to completely ban the soldiers and civilians in the anti-Japanese base areas, and forever be obedient civilians under their butcher's knife.

This information is not a secret, and it is impossible to hide it.

As early as last year, the Eighth Route Army headquarters had already received the news.

The telegram said: "The purpose of the enemy's recent road construction is different from the past... one is to connect the adjustment fort with deep ditches and high fortifications.

The road from Renqiu to Dacheng and Hejian was built 5 feet higher than the ground, the depth of the trenches on both sides was 8 to 1 zhang, the bottom of the ditch was 6 feet wide, and the surface of the ditch was 1 zhang 6.

Divide the base area into isolated small areas that cannot be connected with each other for support, so as to facilitate the enemy's successive search and suppression.

The second method of modification is that the connection of the car road is built outwards. Anguo County has completed 3 floors. The enemy's cars are constantly moving on the road, preventing our troops from entering and leaving their circle. "

At the same time, the telegram also suggested that our Eighth Route Army "must not let the enemy succeed in its cultivation", otherwise "it will create an extremely difficult situation of persisting in guerrilla warfare."

This matter has already attracted the attention of the chiefs. Maybe they are still staring at the map right now, thinking about how to crush the enemy's plot.

Zhao Gang didn't know the whole picture, that's because the news only reached the brigade level.

Further transmission, except for making the commanders and fighters at the grassroots level more anxious, has no benefit.

Yuan Lang didn't think so much, and told Zhao Gang what he knew.

And I attached my own suggestion: "I think, we should kill the little devil before his plan is completed.

The railway was cleaned up by him, the blockhouses and blockhouses were all cleared, and the two county towns should be taken down, and a group of little devils in it should be wiped out.

The little devil is also a bully and fears the tough. You can only calm him down if you beat him up. "

What he said was full of self-confidence, and his pride could be heard from three feet away.

Zhao Gang couldn't help but be infected by his confidence, and said loudly: "Okay, I will definitely report your suggestion to the superior."

"No?"

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Yuan Lang couldn't help asking.

Zhao Gang was puzzled: "What else?"

"In addition to reporting to the superior, shouldn't there be some practical actions?"

Yuan Lang said as a matter of course: "Although the tanks have been handed in, we will have the Type 92 infantry artillery in two days.

Are we thinking about seeing which blockhouses around the base area are not pleasing to the eye, and destroying a wave of little devils, bloody our cannons, and open up.

It's auspicious to get off to a good start! "

Zhao Gang held his forehead and remained silent. He really wasn't a family, so he wouldn't enter a family.

There are quite a few war lunatics in this regiment, and it hasn't been half a month since the last ambush, so they are thinking about fighting again.

Come on, war kills people.

Although the last battle was a big victory, 73 people were killed in battle, and 15 people are still lying in the hospital.

Can't you take a break?

Yuan Lang didn't know what Zhao Gang was thinking, if he knew he would definitely say it.

Who the hell is crazy and wants to fight, who doesn't want to live well?

This damn is not forced by devils.
