Taking advantage of the opportunity of building bunkers, roads and trenches, Takayo Fujido Takayo relied on differentiation to successfully differentiate the militias of the Ryugu Anti-Japanese Democratic Government from the sequence of the Anti-Japanese Democratic Government in southern Anhui. Afterwards, Takayo Fujido Takayo instructed Haneda to recruit these militias to form the Royal Association Army's Dragonkou Mixed Brigade.

"It's still not very smooth. Although the opposition between the people of Longkou and the Imperial Army has eased, it will not be a matter of overnight success if we really want to gain their trust and support." Haneda shook his head and said, "But I will hurry up and strive for this anti-breaking attack war, so that the Imperial Army can cooperate with the Imperial Army's operations."

"Hanida Sang, you're thinking too much." Fujido Takae shook his head and said, "I just asked casually, and I didn't want to let the Royal Association Army's Dragonkou Mixed Brigade participate in the war. Besides, the Royal Association Army's Dragonkou Mixed Brigade has just been formed and it's far from reliable. I will never let them participate in this battle."

Due to the existence of the anti-Japanese democratic government in Longkou County, there is a close connection between the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui and the Communist Party of China. They have also learned some successful experience from the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. One of the important experiences is that a large number of fortresses have been developed.

It is no exaggeration to say that the fortress is the cornerstone of the struggle behind enemy lines

Without thousands of fortresses risking their lives to provide cover, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army could not break the situation in the battlefield behind enemy lines and could not survive at all. The enemy's fortress was made of steel and concrete, while the fortress of our party was built by thousands of families willing to sacrifice.

The lack of strong party organization leadership in the battlefield behind enemy lines is certainly the main reason why the Kuomintang army performed poorly on the battlefield behind enemy lines, but it is also a major reason for not having thousands of families to act as a fortress to cover them.

Under the activities of the Anti-Japanese and Democratic Government of Longkou County, or under the efforts of Yin Shangwen, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui also developed hundreds of fortresses in Longkou County. These fortresses are not necessarily the families of the lieutenant army, but they must have a deep hatred for the Japanese and deep feelings for the revolution. Before this, Xu Shijiu rarely troubled these fortresses, but now it is time to play their role.

Even a simple attack battle cannot be fought just by fighting.

For example, if you want to destroy a section of highway, you must first know the information related to this highway? Are there any Japanese strongholds or artillery towers nearby? How many people are stationed? How far is it? Sending intelligence personnel to reconnaissance is not enough to be discussed, and it may not be possible to find out clearly. It is different if there are fortresses nearby.

Another thing is that breaking during the day is easy to be exposed, so you can only move at night. However, when you start from Erlong Mountain and wait until you reach the beginning of the day, nothing will be done, so you have to sneak into the near the target area in advance, which requires the fortress to provide accommodation and cover.

If someone is injured in the battle, because the Japanese army blocked and could not return to the mountain, it would be even more necessary to cover the fortress.

It goes without saying how important the fortress is. Xu Shijiu was forced to the point of being forced to the Japanese this time. Otherwise, he would not be willing to use this trick to use his trump card. You must know that once the fortress is exposed, he will inevitably be cruelly revenge by the Japanese, and it will cost his life.

Lucaikeng is a remote mountain village in Hewan Town, with more than a dozen families living in it.

The Wang family can be regarded as a large family in the village. Not only does it have dozens of acres of paddy fields, but also has a large house with three or six rooms. It has a dozen grandparents and grandchildren. It is also harmonious, but no one knows that the Wang family is a fortress of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

The reason why the Wang family was developed into a fortress was actually very simple, because Mr. Wang went to Shanghai in his early years and was humiliated by the Japanese there. Mr. Wang knew better than anyone else that if the Chinese want to live a dignified life, they must drive away the invaders and take charge of their own family.

The Wang family is a wealthy family in the Lu Ju Keng, but the Liu family is a dilapidated village. Liu Mazi lost his father when he was young and died of his mother when he was sixteen. After that, he completely lost his discipline and became an idle gangster. He either went to the home to steal a chicken or went to the west to peek at the big girl taking a bath, and he had nothing serious.

That night, Liu Mazi woke up from her sleep by hunger, so she thought of stealing a few sweet potatoes from the Wang family field at the entrance of the village. As a result, as soon as she reached the entrance of the village, she suddenly saw a few black shadows floating towards the Wang family door like ghosts. Liu Mazi was so scared that she hurriedly hid in the cave of a century-old cypress tree next to her.

Uncle Wang was woken up by his wife from his sleep. He sat up and heard a faint knock on the door.

Put on his clothes and walked out of the main house with a lantern. He saw a few sons, daughters-in-law and even grandsons who had heard the noise had already gotten up in their clothes. Uncle Wang hurried them to their respective houses and then came to the front yard with the lanterns. At this time, the sound of knocking on the door was very clear, one heavy and three light, with extremely rhythmic.

Uncle Wang approached the door and asked in a low voice: "Who?"

A low response came from outside the door, saying, "Uncle, I am Xiao Si."

"Xiao Si? I don't know Xiao Si, but I have a nephew named Xiao Qi."

"Uncle, you are so confused. Xiaoqi is a black dog we have."

When Mr. Wang heard that the other party met the code words, he felt relieved and opened the door a crack.

Two black shadows wearing black cloth long silk shirts and wide-brimmed hats on their heads flashed in through the crack of the door. Uncle Wang poked his head out of the crack of the door and looked around. When he found that there was no one, he quickly closed the door. Uncle Wang didn't know, but his eyes were hiding not far away and looking at this side.

Turning around and entering the room, the two people were already waiting for Mr. Wang.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Wang Gensheng, the county party committee member. I came to your house with Secretary Yin at the end of last year."

"I know, Xiao Wang of the county party committee, it was already big at that time, so I refused to leave you for the New Year's Eve dinner." Uncle Wang smiled, then turned his eyes to another young man and asked, "This is..."

Wang Gensheng hurriedly introduced and said, "Uncle Wang, this is Platoon Commander Liu from the 1st Battalion of the 4th Regiment."

Platoon Commander Liu took a step forward and saluted Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang quickly shook his hand.

Wang Gensheng said again: "Uncle Wang, there are still forty comrades who come here together this time. Maybe they have to stay at your house for a few nights. Look, is it inconvenient?"

"It's convenient, why is it inconvenient?" Mr. Wang said quickly, "You have Platoon Leader Liu, so it's easy to arrange it. Just say that it's my distant nephew and nephew. However, those forty comrades may have to be wronged and live in the cellar temporarily. It's best not to show up in public, otherwise it's hard to say anything in front of others."

"That's right, I just follow my arrangements." Wang Gensheng nodded repeatedly.

Originally, any family suddenly has more than 40 relatives, which will arouse people's suspicion.

After the joint, the platoon leader Liu went to the village entrance to pick up the forty soldiers in the platoon. Uncle Wang also gathered the family for a short meeting. At the same time, he introduced Wang Gensheng, his distant nephew, and the nephew Xiaosi of Platoon Leader Liu, to the whole family, so as not to reveal the stuff.

It was already late at night, but the lights were still on in Xu Shijiu's headquarters.

Gao Shenxing pointed to the map with a bamboo pole in his hand and said, "Old Xu, as of last night, more than 100 platoons participating in the operation have all entered the designated locations. The leopard and Liang Dadan's troops have also entered Hewan Town and Lijia Town respectively. They can start fighting at the same time as the agreed time comes."

Xu Shijiu said: "The targets we chose this time include not only artillery towers and highways on the border between the two sides, but also strongholds in the small Japanese-controlled areas. The troops attacking these targets must select retreat routes in advance. When fighting, wounded people will definitely appear, and these wounded people must be properly placed as much as possible."

Gao Shenxing said: "Old Xu, don't worry, the retreat route has been selected long ago. As for the wounded, aren't there still a fortress?"

Xu Shijiu rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice: "Lao Gao, I don't know why, I always have a bad premonition. It seems that this attack battle will be difficult for us to achieve the expected results."

Gao Shenxing said: "Old Xu, aren't you a firm materialist? Why do you believe in this?"

Xu Shijiu shook his head and said, "That's not. I just think that the situation in southern Anhui, especially Longkou County, seems to be different from the situation in North China that Awen said. The Japanese burned, killed, plundered and did everything evil in North China. Therefore, the local people support the Eighth Route Army very much. However, after independently forming the 14th Brigade, they came to Longkou, but after they changed their troops, they were even more powerful than the Eighth Route Army. The people in southern Anhui may not help us.

"Not that." Gao Shenxing said disapprovingly, "If the people in southern Anhui don't help us, will they help the Japanese to deal with us? Is it so glorious to be a traitor?"
