Li Qinglin smiled and said, "Is the third brigade famous?

Xiao Liuzi shook his head repeatedly.

Li Qinglin said: "Who fought it out, as long as the people know. If the people know, we will be much smoother in the future. Besides, there are indeed several regiments coming from the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. Let's pretend to be, and the Japanese will certainly believe it."

Xiao Liuzi smiled strangely and said, "Brother, you want the Eighth Route Army to push the tank for you."

Li Qinglin said: "It can't be said to be the top of the tank. We are just borrowing their power now. The Japanese finally come back to deal with our third brigades and fight them in full swing. It's only a matter of time. We only have a thousand people now, and we must be divided into three places to station. There are a large number of Japanese brigades stationed in Shuizhi, and they may be able to fight at any time. My defense focus is on Sangyu Town and Motianling. You and Xiashangu are two support points north and south. Only when you keep safe on both sides, our entire third brigade will have more room for maneuver."

"The Japanese stationed in Shuizhi are all old Japanese. If they all come out, it will be really difficult to deal with." Xiao Liuzi felt deeply and said.

Li Qinglin continued: "I borrowed the name of the Eighth Route Army this time, mainly to consider the autumn harvest for the people. If the Japanese heard that the Eighth Route Army was here, even if they wanted to take revenge, they would have to mobilize a large number of troops, which would take time. With this period of time, all the crops in the people's fields should be harvested. When the Japanese come again, we will be no longer afraid of anything."

Speaking of this, Li Qinglin said to Han Jizhong: "This place will inevitably be a tug-of-war between the enemy and us in the future. You must strengthen the intelligence work here. When dealing with the puppet army, you must adopt the method of "pulling out and attacking in". Sun Liancheng has been let go, and it depends on what he says after he goes back. If he really reports to the Japanese as we teach him, then even if this guy is half pulled out by us, this person can be used in the future. In addition, the puppet army personnel have losses this time. If they recruit soldiers, see if they can send a few people to attack."

Han Jizhong nodded repeatedly and said, "I know what to do."

With the joining of more than 300 people from the third brigade, the crops in Xigaoping Village harvested very quickly.

Sun Liancheng didn't return to his base in Nanshan Township until the evening. At this time, the company commander of the puppet army and the Japanese Chief Cao were in a hurry. The two Japanese troops led a squad of puppet troops out early in the morning, and there was no news yet, which made them not know what to do.

The appearance of Sun Liancheng and others relieved them, but they immediately raised it again, after all, the two Japanese troops did not come back.

Sun Liancheng had already unified the argument with others on the road. After returning, he naturally said in unison that he had encountered an ambush from the Old Eighth Route Army. The two imperial troops were broken and the other puppet army brothers had died in battle. These people risked their lives to break through the fire net before fleeing back to report the news.

The Japanese never trusted the puppet army, but seeing Sun Liancheng's defeated statue of his armor and the two wounded soldiers brought back, they couldn't help but believe it.

The company commander of the puppet army was very grateful to Sun Liancheng. He held Sun Liancheng's hand and said, "Squad Leader Sun, good brother, you have been attacked by the Eighth Route Army and can still bring the injured brothers back. Thank you so much."

In the eyes of the Japanese, the puppet army was cannon fodder and in the eyes of the people, so it was difficult for the puppet army to expand its army. When the gun was the king of grass heads, Sun Liancheng was naturally grateful for the company commander.

The news that the Eighth Route Army came shocked the Japanese Cao Chang. He immediately picked up the phone and reported the matter to the captain of Lengshuipu. The Japanese in Lengshuipu did not dare to underestimate the situation. They immediately reported the matter to the Japanese in Shuizhi.

The troops of the 386th Brigade were operating in the northwest Henan region. They had already upset the area, and the Japanese in the water were in a state of great trouble. After obtaining information about the Eighth Route Army activities in Nan'an Township, they gave the order to "security monitoring and report the enemy's situation at any time." The Japanese and puppets in Lengshuipu and Nan'an Township immediately increased their vigilance to prevent the Eighth Route Army from raiding.

Early the next morning, a ox cart came down from the artillery tower in Nan'an Township. The cart was loaded with the bodies of the Japanese and puppet troops who were killed yesterday. The ones who drove the car were actually several farmers from Xigaoping Village.

The bodies on the car were basically stripped away, and there was still a lot of soil on them. According to reports from these ordinary people, "The Eighth Route Army was very poor. They wanted everything, and even the clothes of the dead were stripped away. After they won the battle yesterday, they buried the Imperial Army and the Imperial Army, but they are still stationed nearby."

The information about the Eighth Route Army was still in Nan'an Township was soon spread to Shui Zhi. For these villagers who "adventured" to send the bodies of the Imperial Army, the Japanese Cao Changda was grateful. He took out a stack of military tickets and stuffed them into the hands of the villagers, and praised them repeatedly: "You are good people, great, great! The Imperial Army is preferential, preferential treatment!"

In fact, this was arranged by Li Qinglin. Several villagers sent the bodies to the Japanese stronghold to let the Japanese know that the Eighth Route Army had not left yet. In addition, they also told the Japanese that the anti-Japanese forces were killed by the Japanese and puppet troops, and the people of Xigaoping Village were all good people. The Japanese army should not vent their anger on the people of Xigaoping Village in the future.

The Japanese and puppet troops hurried in the stronghold and did not dare to come out. The people seized the time to seize the food. The small-scale battle of the Little Sixth Squadron actually made the Japanese obedient, which greatly encouraged the people of Nan'an Township and their enthusiasm for supporting the army was increasing.

Seeing that the situation here was calm, Li Qinglin returned to Motianling with his direct squadron. Li Qinglin, who returned to Motianling, immediately issued an order, that is, the troops should strengthen the training of melee combat such as bayonets.

The second platoon of the 7th Squadron besieged two Japanese without guns, and eventually caused one death and one injury, which made Li Qinglin deeply aware of the lack of close-knit combat capabilities of the troops.

Under the arrangement of Li Qinglin, the troops strengthened their training in bayonet fighting. Surprisingly, the two Japanese soldiers captured in the battle to eliminate the bandits in Motianling fell to a great effect at this time.

These two Japanese soldiers were captured after being injured, but they never thought they had lost the battle, so they have always been rebellious and looked down on the third brigade.

When the third brigade practiced assassination techniques on a large scale, the two wounded soldiers were recovered. Feng Zheng suddenly thought of these two Japanese soldiers, so he selected a few well-trained soldiers to fight with these two Japanese devils during training to test his training effect.

This contest was held in full view of everyone. Both sides of the competition were holding wooden guns and wearing simple protective gear. The gun heads of both wooden guns were covered with cotton, and lime powder was stained with cotton. As long as someone was stabbed, he would inevitably leave a white mark on his body.

Feng Zheng sent all the soldiers who performed best in training this time. He thought it would be not difficult to deal with these two Japanese soldiers who had just recovered from injury. But when the two sides really fought, Feng Zheng's face turned pale. Although the two Japanese soldiers were a little weaker due to injuries, their movements were standardized and they shot cleanly. In a one-on-one battle, they defeated three soldiers in the ten squadron in a row.

Li Qinglin happened to hear loud noises on the training ground. When he arrived, the third soldier had just been stabbed to the ground by the Japanese soldiers. Li Qinglin did not get angry, but instead said with a smile: "I am usually very arrogant. Now I know what it means to have heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the sky?"

The 10th Squadron successively suppressed bandits some time ago. Although they were not a big battle or a bad battle, they all won the battles, so their pride has increased a lot recently. But now? The so-called assassination masters were defeated one by one by two wounded soldiers of the Japanese, which made Feng Zheng’s anger surge in his stomach.

"You, you, you..." Feng Zheng pointed at the defeated soldiers with his fingers and said, "You can't even defeat the Japanese soldiers, and you'll be hungry tonight."

The soldiers knew they had no face, so they worked hard to strengthen and focus on training. However, these two Japanese soldiers had a special task and became full-time coaches in the 10th Squadron.

The Eighth Route Army's activities on the south bank of Zhanghe River were very active. The Japanese and puppet troops, with empty troops, had to stick to the key points and wait for an opportunity to find fighter jets to fight the 386th Brigade. The activities of the 386th Brigade also indirectly gave the third brigade support. Because the Japanese and puppet forces to prevent the Eighth Route Army, they temporarily gave up their attack on the small army that was right beside them.

As it became increasingly difficult to gain a foothold in Hebei, the main force of Sun Dianying's temporary new Fifth Army also began to move to the Lin County Defense Zone. As a result, the space of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army that had already entered the northern part of Lin County was greatly compressed, and the situation in northwestern Henan suddenly became tense.

All the crops in the field were harvested, and Li Qinglin and his team were extremely successful in collecting grain and money. At least they had no worries about food and drink. However, the problem of military uniforms and quilts was put on Li Qinglin's desk again.

The veterans who came from the 52nd Army were basically useable for quilts and costumes, while the officers and soldiers who joined later only had one blanket and two sets of summer uniforms. The autumn wind was getting tighter and tighter, and the temperature was falling day by day. The issue of quilts became a top priority.

Fortunately, some cloth and cotton were seized while fighting the bandits. Now all these cloth and cotton came in handy. Under Bao Jiafa's organization, some tailors were invited to Sangyu Town, and military uniforms and quilts began to be made urgently.

The bandits robbed various colors and colors. Li Qinglin doesn't care much about it now. As long as it is not big red and green or floral cloth, it will look like what it can be made now. After all, keeping warm is more important than looking good.

When we put on these so-called military uniforms, we realized that although the style of the clothing was military uniforms, the fabric and color were different. Xiao Liuzi laughed at himself: "Some time ago, we pretended to be the Eighth Route Army. Now we don't need to pretend, and people will also treat us as the Eighth Route Army."
