...In order to avoid being easily exposed due to too many people, the strength of each armed engineering team formed and trained by the independent regiment is quite limited, with generally only a dozen members.
But at critical times, these ten or so people from the Armed Forces Team need to play a big role. They must not only undertake political tasks, but also military tasks.
Therefore, just as Kong Jie envisioned, the composition of the armed workers team must be excellent.
Soldiers lie in their excellence, not in their numbers, which is perfectly explained in the armed workers' team.
As far as the members of the martial arts team are concerned, from captain Fang Pingshan to deputy captain Yang Jie to every member, they are the elite of the independent regiment.
In terms of equipment, in order to enhance the overall combat effectiveness of the armed workers' team, Kong Jie ordered that every member of the armed workers' team be equipped with quite sophisticated weapons and equipment.
In addition to two man-made shell guns.
Kong Jie also ordered that each armed work team be allocated a small batch of sophisticated weapons, including light machine guns, 50 cannons, submachine guns, rifles, pistols, grenades, landmines, abundant ammunition, etc.
These weapons will be used as a small weapons depot for the armed workers, and will be hidden by the comrades of the armed workers in the villages further back for easy access.
In addition, if they encounter large-scale Japanese and puppet army targets that need to be attacked, the armed workers team can also ask for assistance from the main combat troops in the regiment.
After Kong Jie ordered the formation of an independent regiment of armed workers behind enemy lines, the comrades of the armed workers attacked from all sides and achieved quite good results in a very short period of time.
Qinghe Village, Changliu Village, Shangyou Village and other villages located in the middle line of the area controlled by the Japanese army and the independent regiment, and a large number of villages ahead, basically have the presence of armed workers.
Before the independent group's guerrilla expansion, the situation in those villages was similar to that of Qinghe Village, Changliu Village, and Shangyou Village.
The Japanese army would often send puppet troops into the village to collect food, and from time to time they would also come to check whether the villagers had any secret connections.
The Japanese also placed many traitors in the village, including some members of the association, to manage the village.
Later, after the armed workers team arrived, they immediately used thunderous means to deal with the traitors in the village. They arrested those who should be arrested, killed those who should be killed, and incited those who should rebel. Others used coercion and inducement to force the traitors to side with the Eighth Route Army. p>
After a series of measures, the puppet army traitors in the village became honest, and even cooperated with the comrades of the armed workers team to deceive the little devils and continue to maintain the stability of the village.
……
After making up his mind, Chen Daliang, captain of the Qinghe village militia team, no longer hesitated and led a group of militia soldiers to Xinghe Village after nightfall, avoiding the traitors in the village and heading towards the base area of the Independence Regiment.<
/p>
Chen Daliang has made an agreement with the comrades of the martial arts team. If he encounters difficulties, he can go to Xinghe Village to find the martial arts team. Xinghe Village is the usual stop of the martial arts team in Fang Pingshan.
After arriving at the place, Chen Daliang successfully found the members of the martial arts team, and through these members he quickly contacted the captain of the martial arts team, Fang Pingshan.
After the two parties contacted, Chen Daliang quickly reported the current situation of Qinghe Village to Fang Pingshan.
"Captain Fang, the situation is urgent. It seems that the little devil has changed his strategy of controlling our village and is ready to take action."
Seeing the anxious expressions on the faces of Chen Daliang and his party, Fang Pingshan said with relief: "Old Chen, don't worry, we probably understand a little bit about the matter."
He looked at a team member behind him and said: "Well, Lao Cao, you go back and report clearly to the regiment headquarters the specific conditions in the villages around Qinghe Village. We have to let the regiment leader know the specific conditions in the villages.
Only when you grow up can you make accurate judgments about the next step.”
"Yes!"
After arranging for Lao Cao, Fang Pingshan waved his hand and called to other team members, saying: "The rest will be easy to handle. Comrades, take care of your things and get ready to go."
"Yes!" Behind Fang Pingshan, ten team members responded in unison.
At this moment, Chen Daliang and other comrades from the militia team in Qinghe Village were stunned.
Chen Daliang asked in confusion: "Captain Fang, what are you doing?"
Fang Pingshan smiled and said: "Go and fight the traitors, Old Chen. According to the situation you reported, the matter is not difficult to handle. Let's put this Wang Ergou on the list that must be eliminated. Others who should be encouraged to rebel and those who can be threatened are actually
If it doesn’t work, then kill him as a warning to others.”
The decisive decision of the military workers team made Chen Daliang a little dumbfounded.
Didn’t we say that everyone should discuss it slowly? Now we will start the anti-rape operation?
Seeing Chen Daliang's doubts, Fang Pingshan explained: "Old Chen, when our various military work teams were established, the team leaders personally gave us lectures."
"The head of the regiment said that the existence of the armed workers' team is not only a political coercion, inducement, instigation, and wooing of the puppet troops, but also like a sharp knife inserted into the enemy's belly. Whenever the people need the Eighth Route Army,
Our armed workers team is the representative of the Eighth Route Army."
"We want the people to feel that the armed workers' team is everywhere. Whenever the Japanese invaders and traitors are rampant, our armed workers' team will be there."
"We also want to make the traitors and devils feel the existence of the armed workers team, like the entanglement of nightmares, and make the devils and puppet soldiers completely afraid to their bones."
"The villagers are in trouble and traitors are rampant. The military workers should be like a sharp sword unsheathed. They should not hesitate and directly give the enemy a thunderous blow."
……
Chen Daliang understood and felt inexplicably shocked in his heart.
Captain Kong's intention could not be clearer, that is, to give the villagers a feeling that as long as everyone is in difficulty, the armed workers team will not hesitate to show up to assist them as soon as possible.
In this way, after both sides were fully prepared, under the leadership of Fang Pingshan, the military work team and the Qinghe village soldier team set off towards Qinghe Village together.
After arriving at the intersection leading to Qinghe Village and Tangyuan Town, Fang Pingshan ordered the team to divide into two groups.
Fang Pingshan, captain of the armed workers team, led five people, plus Chen Daliang, captain of the militia team. The rest of the troops were led by Yang Jie, deputy captain of the armed workers team, and rushed to Qinghe Village.
Fang Pingshan's anti-rape operation is very clear.
"Lao Yang, let's divide our troops into two groups. Captain Chen will go with us into Tangyuan Town to get rid of the traitor leader Wang Erquan."
"You lead other comrades to Qinghe Village and control all the traitors in the village first. As for whether to kill or retain, it depends on the performance of these traitors."
"In addition, you might as well tell them that if they are determined to become traitors and deal with our Eighth Route Army, Wang Erquan in this town will be their fate."
"Okay!" Vice Captain Yang Jie responded.
The two sides immediately split into two groups and headed towards the target point under the cover of night.
……
Tangyuan Town.
At this time, looking from outside the array to the inside, it was already late at night and the whole town was quiet.
"Old Chen, are you sure Wang Erquan is in Tangyuan Town?"
Hiding under a hidden hillside somewhere, looking at the two towers erected high outside the town, with the light of searchlights flashing through the towers from time to time, Fang Pingshan lowered his voice and asked.
"It's in Tangyuan Town. I've been here before and followed Wang Ergou all the way to his home."
Chen Daliang said, just looking at the tight defense of the town, he said a little depressed: "Captain Fang, the Japanese are very defensive in Tangyuan Town. How about we wait until Wang Erquan goes to the village before taking action?"
Fang Pingshan shook his head and said: "No, if we want to get rid of this traitor, it is best to let this traitor die in our own home. This is the biggest deterrent to the traitors."
"In addition, if we do it in the village, I'm afraid it will affect the villagers."
"But there are Japanese artillery towers outside the town, how do we get in?" Chen Daliang said helplessly.
Fang Pingshan said: "In such a big town, there cannot be only one way into the town, and the Japs may not control every trail. Old Chen, you are familiar with this town. Think carefully about whether there are others entering the village."
Road? Mountain road is also fine."
Chen Daliang thought for a moment and suddenly said: "It's true. To the south of the town is Xiaotang Mountain. There is a mountain road into the town. If we go over the mountain, it should be possible."
Fang Pingshan no longer hesitated and ordered: "Then enter the town from Xiaotangshan."
The moonlight at night is quite bright.
Members of Fang Pingshan's armed workers' team also brought several flashlights for traveling at night.
The mountain road is difficult to walk, but fortunately the members of the armed workers team are all well-trained and in good physical condition. As for climbing over mountains and ridges, it is a common thing for the Eighth Route Army and they have long been used to it.
As for Chen Daliang, who followed the military work team to determine where Wang Erquan was, he was the original old hunter of Qinghe Village.
"In those days, it was not uncommon to climb three or five mountains in one day in order to hunt."
This is what Chen Daliang said.
In this way, the group successfully crossed Xiaotang Mountain and entered Tangyuan Town from the south.
In a corner of Tangyuan Town, there is a courtyard. This courtyard is not too small. According to common sense, those who can live in such a courtyard in the town are either rich or noble. Of course, there is another possibility - traitors.<
/p>
By currying favor with the Japanese, the traitors can often make a lot of money, and by bullying others and bullying their neighbors, their lives in the towns have always been pretty good.
In Tangyuan Town, the traitor leader Wang Erquan, who was highly regarded by the Japanese army, was very successful by bullying Qinghe Village, Changliu Village, Shangyou Village and other villages, and helping the Japanese to collect military rations.
This big courtyard is the residence of this traitor.
At this moment, Wang Erquan had already fallen asleep. Just out of habit, he probably knew that a traitor like him might be decapitated by the Eighth Route Army at any time. Even when he was sleeping, Wang Erquan always loaded a handful of bastard boxes with bullets in advance.
It was hidden on the lower left side of the pillow. When sleeping, I would put my hand under the pillow from time to time until I touched the pistol, which made me feel more at ease.
During this period, news came one after another that traitors in many villages near the base of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment were eradicated by the armed workers team of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.
Some were killed directly on the road.
Others were beaten to death after entering the village.
During the day, many puppet soldiers under his command were also admonishing Wang Erquan.
"Captain, how about we restrain ourselves? If we continue to do evil and bully the villagers, I'm worried that the Eighth Route Army members from the armed workers' team will come to deal with us."
"Yes, Captain, those Eighth Route Army members are not easy to mess with. They are all so elusive that they might even sneak into your house while you sleep."
"Not to mention far away, during the spring sweeps, a group of troops as large as the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army was almost wiped out by the Independent Regiment.
How many of us have the brains to dare to go against the Eighth Route Army?"
Wang Erquan was very angry at the time and yelled: "What, are you scared? If you had known that this day would happen, what would you do to be a traitor? Now that you are a traitor, and you are greedy for life and afraid of death, do you still hope to get rich?"
"Don't even think about it. You are afraid of death. I am not afraid of death. I want to see what the martial arts team can do to me?"
Like the wind, they might be able to hear what we say."
The cowardly subordinates started to make alarmist remarks. Even though Wang Erquan continued to curse, he still felt a little frightened in his heart.
Thinking about this period, due to the threat from the armed workers' team, many puppet soldiers tried their best to avoid disturbing the villagers.
However, Wang Erquan still wanted to be the first person. He always stood in front of everything and tried his best to help the Japanese army collect food and oppress the people, so he was highly regarded by the Japanese.
But when things came to a close, Wang Erquan was actually a little scared, not knowing whether the armed workers team would liquidate him.
After drinking some wine in the evening and scolding his cowards who were afraid of death, Wang Erquan returned to his house slightly drunk.
At least when he was on his bed at home, Wang Erquan felt at ease.
He knew that the defense outside Tangyuan Town was tight. There were several artillery towers of the Imperial Army, plus a small team of troops stationed there. The Eighth Route Army could not easily break in.

At worst, you should be more careful when you go to the village during the day and try to hide behind the imperial army.
Wang Erquan thought like this and fell into sleep.
Night.
Wang Erquan, who was still sleeping soundly, suddenly felt his body getting colder and seemed to have fallen into an ice cave in his sleep.
Excited to the extreme by the cold, Wang Erquan woke up suddenly.
Then I looked around with the moonlight filtering through the window, and it turned out that the quilt had been kicked off at some point.
Wang Erquan breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled up the quilt sleepily. He was still thinking in his heart that Xu Xiaolian, the daughter of old Xu Tou, was born well. He would let her sleep on his bedside one day.
As he thought about it, Wang Erquan grinned evilly.
Suddenly, a flickering dim yellow light suddenly brightened up, dispersing the partial darkness in the room.
Several black shadows suddenly appeared in Wang Erquan's sleepy eyes.
"Who!"
In the middle of the night, when you wake up at night, several black shadows suddenly appear in front of you, which will scare everyone.
The horrified Wang Erquan let out a low drink and immediately reached for the gun on the bedside, but it was empty. He turned over the entire pillow, but still couldn't find the gun.
A deliberately lowered voice came slowly:
"Captain Wang is looking for his pistol, right? I'm sorry, I brought it for you. You said you slept with your pistol on your head in the middle of the night, don't you think you're panicking?"
Wang Erquan shouted: "Who are you?"
"Martial Arts Team!" the voice said every word.
"It turns out it's you, really here..."
Knowing his fate, Wang Erquan laughed miserably, his eyes full of despair.
A silent night.
Just after dawn the next day, the tranquility of the courtyard was broken by the scream of a servant hired by Wang Er's family.
When the people around heard the screams, they originally looked at Wang Erquan's mansion with indifferent eyes. However, after hearing this, the servants ran out in a panic, saying that their master had hanged himself.
The villagers looked overjoyed and rushed into Wang Er's family's yard to watch the fun.
Then, in the bedroom where Wang Erquan lived, the neighbors saw that Wang Erquan was hanging from the beam. He actually committed suicide by hanging from the beam.
There seemed to be a letter written on the table nearby. Someone with sharp eyes shouted: "This is Captain Wang's handwriting, I recognize it!"
One said: "What did you write, please read it quickly."
The man was literate and read: "I, Wang Erquan, have Chinese blood flowing in my bones, but I have acted as a helper for the tiger, harmed my neighbors, lost my conscience, and become a traitor to the Japanese. I know that my crime is unpardonable, and I regret it endlessly."
, so I hang myself to warn you all that you can never imitate me again and be that traitor who will be infamous for thousands of years!"
After the voice read, the surrounding villagers were all startled.
After a moment of silence, I don't know who was bold enough to shout first: "Have a good death!"
"This traitor should have died long ago!" Someone else boldly echoed.
One person asked: "This traitor usually fawns over the Japanese and is more afraid of death than anyone else. How could he be willing to hang himself?"
Another said: "I guess I have done too many bad things and have been punished by God. I have been condemned by God."
There were also smart people in the crowd who said: "What has been punished by God? Isn't everyone familiar with this way of death? I think 80% of it was done by the armed workers team."
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized, and then there were cheers again. It was not until the Japanese military police arrived that the surrounding neighbors dispersed in a hurry after watching the excitement for a while.
