Fifty miles northeast of Hua County.

The Second North China Public Security Army received the order and once again assembled on a large scale and launched a massive invasion!

The division received news from the inside, and all units of the independent regiment returned to the "mountain" as planned. Three companies carried the wounded, and with the cooperation of the division's friendly militia, they evacuated northward overnight.

The Ninth Company, which suffered almost no casualties, stayed behind and continued to assist the division in counter-mopping up. How could the Second Company let the Ninth Company take the lead?

Regardless of the casualties, he took the initiative to stay and fight the Japanese, which was well received by the division.

The Fifth and Sixth Army divisions simultaneously mobilized capable forces to form the second column in Jizhong, vowing to avenge the blood feud caused by the Japanese raids in the first half of the year.

An army marched on a moonlit night and entered an uninhabited village before dawn.

After dawn, the village seemed particularly peaceful.

There was a sudden sound of horse hoofbeats.

A group of more than ten puppet reconnaissance troops came to the outside of the village from the north, carrying dust with them.

The two puppet soldiers jumped off their horses and rushed directly into the village. After running around, they wandered around the village and saw no one in front, back, left or right.

After a while, I left the village and reported to the squad leader.

The puppet squad leader left two puppet soldiers on guard and led his other subordinates directly into the village.

After turning several corners along the alley in the village and arriving at a well in the village, a puppet soldier suddenly stopped.

"Squad leader, so many people were buried in the well in this village not long ago... Let's find another place to find water, right?"

"What's wrong with this water? It's been almost half a year, and the people buried there have already turned into ashes. It's not for you to drink, it's for the horses. Get to work quickly. When we're done, we still have to scout westward along here? What are you still doing?

, hurry up and get water..."

The nine puppet soldiers were hurriedly wiping their horses with sweat and brushing, and their rifles were all put aside.

Suddenly, a puppet soldier stopped what he was doing and stared unblinking as if he had seen a ghost.

He raised his hand to smack his eyes, shook his head, and blinked again. He saw correctly that there were black muzzles sticking out of the windows, doors, and roofs of the house.

"What are you doing so stupidly? Hurry up!" The puppet squad leader had just washed his face and was wiping it with a towel.

Seeing that his subordinates didn't respond, he quickly followed their eyes and finally realized something was wrong.

The rifle was right next to him, but he didn't dare to get it. He subconsciously wanted to pull the rifle at his waist.

The gangsters on the roof stood up, and a dozen more gangsters rushed out of the door, all of them aiming their guns.

Wrinkled gray military uniform, drooping gray military cap, dirty face?

The puppet soldiers who were busy nearby noticed that something was wrong with the squad leader. They subconsciously stopped what they were doing, turned around and looked around carefully. There were eighty to eighty soldiers appearing around them!

There was a ding-ding sound all over the place...

The next moment, he took the initiative to raise his hands, no one screamed, and the bucket of water fell to the ground.

Each one of them had a dark complexion, and their determined steps began to become faster, and they rushed over like a charge.

The puppet soldiers had fear on their faces, and the rifle was right next to them. No one had the courage to take it. The squad leader of the puppet army took his hand off the holster and slowly raised it.

There is no such thing as the legendary slogan of surrendering guns but not killing. The puppet soldiers in a reconnaissance squad became prisoners without any sound.

The machine guns on the windows and rooftops were withdrawn, and men with machine guns appeared in the center of the village. The two puppet sentries who remained outside the village were also tied up and escorted into the village by the Eighth Route Army.

The one who was closest to the puppet squad leader walked up to him in a few steps and took the rifle he was carrying across his body.

That guy looks quite handsome, if it weren't for that scar on his face.

The handsome young man suddenly smiled: "Haha, what do these heroes do here?"

The puppet squad leader's forehead was dripping with sweat: "We..."

"Haha, do you really think you are the master of this land? You can come and leave when you want?" After saying that, he took off the hat on the squad leader's head and put his index finger in the middle and played in circles.

"Tell me, how many people came out? Don't tell me that it's just a dozen or so of you, right?"

The squad leader of the puppet army tried hard to twitch the corner of his mouth a few times, and said weakly: "Brother, we...we are just here to investigate the situation. I heard that the emperor...the Japanese said that the Eighth Route Army was attacking Hua County. Let us take a look. Yes, we just came to take a look.

!”

"Oh? Come and have a look? There are thousands of people behind you, just to have a look? In March this year, more than 3,000 of you joined the Japanese 35th Division and the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade to have a look?" Ma Liang's expression

Became cold.

"We didn't do anything, it was all the fault of the devils." The pseudo-squad leader murmured.

"Thousands of people died in your hands, and you just came to take a look? Huh? The six wells over there are full of corpses. Do you want to go take a look now?" Ma Liang subconsciously narrowed his eyes like Hu Yi.

"The devils killed people, we just buried them. After all, they are buried in peace, right?"

"Hey, there is a well here, do you want me to bury you in the ground?"

"Brother, you are so noble."

"Tell me, who are the people coming back this time?" Ma Liang slowly showed a smile on his face.

"Commander Li of the Second Group Army has recruited more than 3,000 people from the security force, and has recruited more than 2,000 people from nearby security commanders. A total of 5,000 to 6,000 people, said to be tens of thousands, is to be divided into three routes to attack the area from Inner Huangsha District to Huaxian County.

Revenge." The puppet squad leader did not hide it. After all, there was no point in hiding such a big action.

"The numbers of each department?"

"Commander Li and Commander Tang Haiting of the 1st Brigade led more than 2,000 people on the middle road. On both wings were the security groups led by the military staff. The plan is to advance in parallel from south to north, stabilize the defense line, and then advance in parallel."

"What kind of troops are coming from the security team?"

"The one attacking along the Yellow River on the left is Wang Taigong, the commander of northern Henan. This time his son Wang Sanzhu is leading the team, and the one attacking on the right is Wang Ziquan's nephew Wang Jingchang."

"So, you are the spy from the middle?"

"I don't dare. Brothers are also trying to survive. Since the national army left, if we hadn't taken refuge in the security forces, we wouldn't have been able to survive."

"You have a way to survive, but what about the common people?" Ma Liang said sarcastically.

"Uh..." the puppet squad leader was speechless.

"Tell me, who among you participated in the last raid?"

"We are scouts, just leaders. We have never participated in those massacres of villages."

"That's even more damning, don't you think?"

"Sir, please spare me. I heard that the Eighth Route Army gives priority to prisoners." The puppet squad leader gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to take the blame and perform meritorious service!"

"What achievements can you make? Besides, I'm not the Eighth Route Army!" Ma Liang thought for a while and said to the pseudo-squad leader with a smile.

"Then you are?" The pseudo-squad leader was stunned.

"Haha, I am also a security force." Ma Liang smiled: "It's just that I am different from you. We are a force that truly ensures the safety of ordinary people. Do you understand now?"

"I've always wanted to do something for the people, but I didn't have the chance." The pseudo-squad leader looked at the other party who was wearing an Eighth Route Army uniform, but said they were a security group. Only a ghost would believe it.

"You can really talk nonsense. You only eat two meals a day when you are a bad person. They are all watery and you eat the first meal but not the next one. Do you believe that you are willing to be a bad person?" Ma Liang sneered.

"I swear to God, if I don't want to join the Eighth Route Army, my whole family will die!"

Suddenly, a young man from the puppet army stood up and said: "Wu Dakui, you swore the oath a little too late! Your whole family died in the hands of the devils, and your mother still worked for the devils! You are a scum who works for tigers. Last time, you

When you led the Japs to a bloodbath in Nanzhang Fort, do you think that if everyone in the village is dead, no one will know about the good deeds you have done?"

"Liu Ergou, what are you talking about?" The puppet squad leader trembled and was dumbfounded.

"Hey, you are really a noble person who forgets things a lot. Do you want me to explain it to you one by one?" Liu Ergou said sarcastically.

"You...Liu Ergou? You are a pick-up dog!" the puppet squad leader was furious.

"I am originally from the Eighth Route Army. Do I need to eat everything I have?" After Liu Ergou finished speaking, he immediately saluted Ma Liang: "Hello, Chief! Please send someone to the training team immediately to verify my identity!"

"Sir, he is spitting blood!" Wu Dakui collapsed to the ground.

"You said you were from the training team of the military division?" Ma Liang understood. This person should be the thorn that the division planted among the enemies.

"Yes, I am responsible for delivering the news. This Wu Dakui deserves death!" Liu Ergou looked at the puppet squad leader on the ground and gritted his teeth.

A bayonet suddenly flashed from the chest of the pseudo-squad leader, and blood flowed down the bayonet.

Then, the bayonet suddenly disappeared again.

"Ma Liang, your mother is always so troublesome! Hurry up and tie the person up. The company commander is still waiting for us to go back and report..." Tian Sanqi pulled out the bayonet from the pseudo-squad leader's back waist, and the pseudo-squad leader's body was still twitching.

I rubbed it twice.

"How bad is it to be so bloody? It's such a pity for this military uniform, oops... we need two more patches!" Ma Liang shook his head and looked at the blood under the puppet soldiers' bodies flowing into a ball and seeping into the yellow soil:
Chapter completed!
