Chief Xue briefly explained the matter during the banquet.
"So, the last time we were without supplies for nearly seven days, it was mainly because these bandits robbed part of the supplies?"
"There are certain reasons. We estimate that the Eleventh Army has changed its general. He hasn't arrived yet, but he is already taking action. And this is very likely to be a promise to some bandits behind him."
Not all bandits have the world in their hearts and have a passion for it. There are still some bandits who have breasts and are mothers. Many beards in the Northeast also followed the Japanese army. Only a small number fought with the Japanese army to the end.
.
"Yes, my subordinates will organize their forces today and go to the location of the incident to exterminate the bandits."
Killing chickens to scare monkeys, since this time the incident happened in the Maxipu area of Huaihua area, then I will start from there first.
This time to suppress the bandits, Zhou Weiguo led three battalions of troops.
The total number of the special agents was more than 5,000. It would be too bloated to march with such a large force. In the western Hunan area, the roads were inconvenient and the transportation of materials was also very inconvenient.
If there are too many troops, it will increase the burden on transportation.
Therefore, Zhou Weiguo took the first battalion, the second battalion, and the fifth battalion, the artillery company, the machine gun company, the health company, and the military supplies department to accompany him. The rest of the troops rested in the Changsha area, and all the members of the small team set off with him.
The mountain breeze was blowing. This was the first time that the special agent group left the front line of the war against Japan and headed to the rear. The day after departure, Zhou Weiguo asked Takeshita Jun to lead the small team and the troops joining from the Xiangxi area of Hunan to go first to find out some of the situation.
, he led his troops to follow up.
In Xiangxi, the mountains seem to never end. This is a place that is new to most of the special agents who have been fighting around Changsha and Jiangxi.
Nam Chung Mei is one of them.
She had also seen hillsides in Shandong, but compared with this, the hillsides in Shandong were simply unsightly.
On the top of the mountain, clouds and mist were lingering. Looking from a distance, it was hard to see clearly what the top of the mountain looked like.
The secret service team's purpose in suppressing bandits this time is, firstly, to publicize the power of the government. Secondly, it is also to warn the bandits along the way to invest more and not do such things. Otherwise, if the heavenly soldiers come, it will be a dead end. Therefore.
This time Zhou Weiguo provided vehicles.
Along the way, Nan Zhongmei was as curious about everything as Grandma Liu.
In the western Hunan area, there are still fewer people, more land, and many barren mountains.
On this day, the secret service team was in a hurry and did not rest in the town. Instead, they set up tents on both sides of the road.
Nan Zhongmei was curious and took a few soldiers to hunt.
As a result, no one came from hunting, but a few people were hunted.
"Wei Guo, these few are sneaky and flashy in their clothes. They are not good people at first glance. I have captured them."
Zhou Weiguo heard wailing outside.
He got up and walked out, and saw two Taoist priests tremblingly looking at the soldiers.
Zhou Weiguo smiled and pointed at Nan Zhongmei: "Have you ever heard of exhuming corpses in Western Hunan?"
Driving corpses away? Can corpses be driven away?
Nan Zhongmei shook her head slightly. She didn't have a free day and had nothing to do, so she had to figure out these things.
Xiao Ya glanced at the two people. She actually didn't believe that this was really about exorcising corpses. She was probably just making things up.
If this is true, then there is no need to burn so many corpses on the battlefield, just call them here.
"Let's go." Xiao Ya motioned for the two of them to leave and come to Nan Zhongmei; "Don't listen to him, or you won't be able to sleep again at night."
Since the corpse is being driven away, there must be a ghost story. In this regard, Awen is a master. He can be used to deceive girls and he can tell it accurately.
Zhou Weiguo didn't stop him, he just smiled and turned around and entered his tent.
Nan Zhongmei was still curious. The more she didn't want him to know, the more she wanted to know.
Zhou Weiguo also patiently told her, but obviously, she didn't take it seriously. After all, they had different beliefs, and ghosts and gods were nothing to her.
He could not be deceived, and Zhou Weiguo was not deceived either. He fell asleep peacefully and led his troops to set off again the next morning.
It was a few days before we entered Huaihua. After staying in Huaihua for a day or two, and after the troops had received supplies, Zhou Weiguo led his troops and headed for Maxipu.
Zhou Weiguo didn't know how Maxi Pu came to be, but most of this town is made up of local ethnic minorities. In fact, it can be said that it is composed of pole people. These people are farmers and soldiers, but at the same time,
Ideologically, I am also relatively backward.
There was a paved road in Maxi, and Zhou Weiguo led his troops to stop one kilometer before reaching the town.
"Why did it stop?" Nan Zhongmei pointed at the map; "Judging from the map, there is still more than one kilometer."
"The troops have stopped advancing. A few of us will go to the town first." Zhou Weiguo got out of the car and put on his white gloves. He usually doesn't wear gloves. After all, he can't care about so much on the battlefield, but now, since he has to go to the town to meet the local mayor
, then I still have to dress neatly and not lose the face of the Ninth War Zone.
"Most of the people in western Hunan are ethnic minorities. If we enter rashly, they may be resentful. The mayor here is actually the local emperor. In one sentence, he can determine the attitude of the local people towards us. This is of great significance to us in suppressing bandits.
Big help.”
Zhou Weiguo took a military cap from the side and put it on his head. He was not wearing a helmet. This was not a battlefield. Wearing a helmet meant it was a provocation.
"Xu Hu, prepare fifty rifles." Zhou Weiguo rubbed his neck.
Nan Zhongmei didn't understand at all.
Government troops still need to be so cautious when entering their own town today.
Seeing Zhou Weiguo being so serious, he thought for a while and came to Xiao Ya's side: "Sister, I don't understand why?"
"Do you know the Hunan Army?" Xiao Ya didn't know where to start. After thinking about it, she felt that speaking from the Hunan Army might help Nan Zhongmei understand it faster.
Hunan Army?
Nan Zhongmei lowered her head and thought for a while before nodding: "I know, this is the savior before the demise of your previous dynasty. If it weren't for them, I'm afraid there wouldn't be the Republic of China today. Isn't that what it is?"
You can say that.
The Hunan Army was indeed the most powerful force at that time. Its composition was composed of teachers, students, families, fellow villagers, etc. After these people were later replaced by the Huai Army, this method was still preserved in the local area.
Each town is subordinate to the government, but among each town, the mayor has the final say. The mayor is almost a respected person in the local area, and can also be said to be a big landowner.
Their status in the hearts of the local people is very high. In one sentence, the people below will obey them absolutely. Those who disobey will almost all be expelled.
"I said this, you understand." When Xiao Ya was about to enter the town, she gave an overview of the situation and then asked Nan Zhongmei sideways.
