The Eighth Route Army's intelligence capabilities are indeed very powerful. The independent regiment had just finished helping the people with their looting work, when the Japanese came to raid the area.

Then, after completing the map survey and production, Xie Yu made a plan for people to evacuate into the mountains at the request of Captain Gu.

After Commander Gu and Political Commissar Yuan made some additional modifications, they officially issued it to all soldiers of the Independent Regiment.

However, for the safety of the people, despite the imminent war, the Independent Regiment withdrew two companies of troops and asked Xie Yu to lead the team to assist the local militia in relocating the villagers.

Xie Yu, who had experienced a lot of fish-water theory training in military training classes, naturally knew the importance of the common people to the party.

Although he knew it would be difficult, he still accepted the order. Xie Yu only hoped that the "gourd mark" on his left hand could help him, tide over the difficulties for the villagers, and reduce casualties.

Xie Yu, who quickly accepted the order, set off alone with his tortoise box and a big three-eight cover.

Xie Yu first took the letter of introduction and order from the regiment headquarters and found Secretary Cui, the leader of the district committee in Xiling area.

Secretary Cui had received help from Xie Yu when he was drawing the drawings a few days ago, and after seeing Xie Yu's letter of introduction and regimental order.

So I started to call together the women leaders and activists in the village for meetings.

After the personnel were concentrated, Xie Yu began to assign tasks according to the orders of the regiment headquarters.

Xie Yu then brought two companies, the newly formed Ninth Company and Tenth Company in the regiment.

The two companies had more recruits, with only 200 people in total. They had more than 60 guns, most of them still had old sleeves, and each gun was equipped with less than ten bullets. The combat effectiveness was not strong!

Fortunately, most of the new recruits are locals, and many of them are activists removed from the original militia, so their morale is still good.

They are still very enthusiastic about protecting the villagers.

So after arranging the tasks, Xie Yuxian selected more than 80 people from these people to serve as liaison soldiers between himself and those villages.

At the same time, Xie Yu told the liaison soldiers this way: "After you return to the village you are familiar with, you will be informed according to the situation of the villagers, their age, and their physical strength."

"We need to organize all the villagers. A poor organization is better than no organization at all. Let them learn military knowledge in the independent regiment and talk to the villagers about it."

"After the sweep is over, if anyone wants to join the Independent Group, you can bring him back. If you can lead a squad, I will make you the squad leader."

Suddenly a soldier shouted: "Thank you, Staff Officer, what if I lead a platoon?"

Xie Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I guess he is still a squad leader. If you want to be a platoon leader, tell the regiment leader yourself."

The soldier remained silent.

Afterwards, Xie Yuhe and Secretary Cui began to enter the intense preparation stage. To be honest, the Xiling area is the junction of mountainous areas and hilly areas.

It is not a major grain-producing area, which is the main reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to gain a foothold here.

At first Xie Yu thought there were not many people here, but as the relocation operation began, although there was no accurate data, Da Gai estimated that there were 20,000 people here.

In addition, the old and weak people accounted for the majority, so the action was very slow. There was intelligence that the Japanese had stepped up their actions.

Some maintenance committees and detective teams also joined the operation. Some villages have been controlled by traitorous landlords, and some villagers have been killed.

Xie Yu saw that this was not going to work. Although most of the Japs were dealt with by independent regiments, the puppet troops and detective teams maintained by them did not have strong combat effectiveness, but they were familiar with the situation of the villagers and were even more difficult to deal with.

Especially those puppet troops. Many of them were originally regular troops of the Guild Party. They did not have a strong will to fight, but they were still very good at fighting smooth battles and robbing the villagers.

Xie Yu secretly estimated in his mind that he had to fight a battle to improve the morale of the soldiers and at the same time improve their combat level.

Thinking of this, Xie Yu began to discuss with Secretary Cui whether there were any landlord traitors with a bad reputation in the Xiling area.

Secretary Cui naturally knew about these things, but those little traitors and the small landlord armed forces who oppressed the villagers had long been dealt with by the independent group.

There were also three traitorous landlords who were relatively indignant among the public. They were too close to Wanjia Town, so the Independent Group members were not sure of being able to kill them, so they stayed behind.

The sudden control of the villagers this time was the work of the three traitorous landlords.

Hearing what Secretary Cui said, Xie Yu had already decided in his heart: "We must get rid of them, otherwise the villagers behind will be in great trouble if they cannot retreat. Only those who have been thieves for a thousand days can guard against thieves for a thousand days."

Secretary Cui knew what Xie Yu meant by looking at his expression. Normally, they were not strong in combat and were bullied by the traitorous landowners. Now that Xie Yu's regular troops were here, he also wanted to take the opportunity to deal with the traitors and puppet troops.

Secretary Cui asked: "Comrade Xie, are we going to fight those traitorous landlords?"

Xie Yu nodded and said: "It's not too late. If you can hit with one punch, you can save hundreds of punches. We still have some initiative in fighting now, but when the Japanese army comes, big trouble will happen."

Secretary Cui: "Okay, then, Counselor Xie, I will tell you about the three landlords and traitors."

After Xie Yu finished listening to Secretary Cui's narration, Xie Yu said: "Secretary Cui, your information is so detailed, have you already planned to attack them?"

Secretary Cui looked a little surprised, but also nodded a little lonely, and said: "I have suffered losses several times, how could I..." Hey, let's not talk about it, Comrade Xie, you arrange this combat mission, as long as we can defeat these three

Zhuangzi, we..."

Secretary Cui, who was stopped by Xie Yu, said: "Without further ado, Secretary Cui, please immediately summon the militia and have all the villagers and soldiers gather in the three landlord compounds in order and at close range."

Secretary Cui: "Fight now?"

Xie Yu nodded: "Without further delay, let's fight now. The soldiers are very fast. I can't tell if you militiamen have defeated them. I have already occupied the landlord's compound. After all, we are regular troops."

Secretary Cui nodded in affirmation.

In fact, Secretary Cui didn't know that this time the independent regiment sent two companies of recruits with relatively poor combat effectiveness.

There are also relatively few firearms. There seem to be a lot of bullets in the bullet bag, but most of them are wooden bullets, used to support the scene.

Xie Yu secretly touched the bag in his hand, specially made more than a dozen small three-iron awls, and said to himself: "If a person dies and a bird looks up to the sky, he will not die for tens of millions of years. It seems that we can't do it without taking risks."

Xie Yu and Secretary Cui then acted independently, and Xie Yu also assigned tasks to the ninth and tenth company commanders, asking them to organize guerrilla tactics between Wanjia Town and Xishankou respectively.

If reinforcements are sent out from Wanjia Town, let their two company commanders each lead a platoon to slow down the enemy's marching speed. They should combine sparrow warfare with guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare, and do not engage in defensive warfare and sniper warfare.

This is an old tactic. The two company commanders asked the district for some firecrackers and iron barrels and began to prepare.
