Are they...received that we didn't save them?

Are you wondering what they did wrong and would be so cruel to retaliate?

You said... those Japanese knew that the people hiding in the cave were all the people, so why did they have to treat them like this? They... They are just a group of ordinary people!"

Zheng Yingqi really couldn't understand the behavior of the Japanese. There were manslaughtering or accidental injuries in the war. The lives of the people in the war were just grass, but... but why did they be massacred?

Why do you want to slaughter them deliberately?

Xiuqin was silent, and many people roared and coughed in despair. Finally, she said: "The Japanese... The Japanese are just a group of beasts, they are just a group of inhuman beasts!"

Zheng Yingqi looked up and looked at the sky with snowflakes flying.

This is an era of suffering, and the people of this era... are really difficult to live!

Zheng Yingqi carefully took out the bag on the ground from the snow, slowly patted off the snowflakes on it, and hugged it tightly in his arms, and he whispered:

"I'm sorry..."

...

The regiment headquarters.

After Zheng Yingqi and Sun Desheng brought back the news of the Third Battalion, Li Yunlong locked himself in the house and didn't go out for two days. After he went out, he called all the cadres of the regiment headquarters to come for a meeting. Li Yunlong's first words were:

"Zheng Yingqi, go to the Lotus Town and pull the 3rd Battalion up!"

Zheng Yingqi refused on the spot: "Captain, I'm not suitable."

"Not suitable? Do you still want me to carry you in a sedan chair?" Li Yunlong slapped the table and said angrily.

Zhao Gang hurriedly said, "Old Li, don't worry, Zheng Yingqi, what do you mean?"

"I can't take a battalion well," Zheng Yingqi shook his head and said, "And I don't want to leave the reconnaissance company. The reconnaissance company has been severely damaged now. There are less than 30 people in the entire company, so I can't let it go."

"Old Li, what Zheng Yingqi said makes sense," Zhao Gang said: "The reconnaissance company made great contributions in this breakthrough. Now that Zheng Yingqi is asked to rebuild the third battalion, who can lead the reconnaissance company well?"

Li Yunlong was not irrational. He was just angry and did not consider it comprehensively. After Zhao Gang said this, he realized that in terms of combat effectiveness, which company in the entire regiment can compare with the reconnaissance company? Who can bring the reconnaissance company again by transferring Zheng Yingqi away?

Thinking of this, he looked at Sun Desheng. He originally wanted to let Sun Desheng serve as deputy battalion commander and cavalry company commander, but Zheng Yingqi couldn't pull away, so he could only let Sun De be the commander of the 3rd battalion. He said:

"Sun Desheng, then you go to the Lianhua Town and rebuild the 3rd battalion for me!"

"Captain, I... I left the cavalry company and there was no company commander."

"Take the cavalry company away. If you have the ability, it is your ability to lead the 3rd Battalion into a division. If you don't have the ability, you will be the commander of the barely-armed team. But if I know that you can't afford the 3rd Battalion, you will come back and be a groom for me! It will save you from wasting your riding skills. Is there any problem?"

Sun Desheng scratched his head, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

"It's settled," Li Yunlong said gritting his teeth, "Sun Desheng, I'll give you a task and understand the situation of the Japanese Lotus Town stronghold! The Japanese devils swallowed my third battalion. If I don't avenge, I'll be ashamed to see so many brothers in the 3rd battalion? When I recover, I have to chew off the Lianhua Town stronghold."

"Yes!" Sun Desheng answered intently.

"There is another thing," Li Yunlong said ruthlessly: "Take a message to all the company commanders and platoon leaders of the regiment. Now the troops are divided, and my hands cannot reach the front line. The commander's power is now in the company commander. I only ask a few people to do a loss-making business! But don't weaken the name of my independent regiment! Aren't the Japanese clamoring to fight my independent regiment every day?

Now all the combat units are smart. My regiment is scattered in four or five counties. If you have any problems, you will find the bad luck of the Japanese! The Japanese shouted that they were trying to fight my independent regiment? I want to make the Japanese uneasy every day!"

Zhao Gang added: "Yes, we should do this now. We must continue to grow in battle and constantly weaken the strength of the Japanese in battle."

...

The Japanese did not expect that the independent regiment, which should have been licking their wounds, became more active and more active for more than two consecutive months. The Japanese could receive casualties reports every day. The combat troops of the independent regiments spread across four or five counties were constantly attacking the Japanese strongholds like machines that never stop.

The use of the Great Conscience Cannon has caused the independent regiment, which lacks the means of attack, to pose a great threat to the artillery tower. Although the hit rate of the Great Conscience Cannon is extremely low, the troops of the Independent regiment often go to the darkness to a distance of about a hundred meters from the Japanese artillery tower. They build fortifications to cover the Great Conscience Cannon in the dark and launch an attack after dawn. As long as there is a hit, the Great Conscience Cannon with an outrageous caliber can open a gap in the artillery tower.

The Independent Regiment knocked on an artillery tower in the east and a bunker in the west, and occasionally bombed a section of highway to ambush. In more than two months, the Japanese lost more than 300 people and the puppet army lost at least 800 people, causing panic among the Japanese in all surrounding strongholds. The artillery tower used to block the Eighth Route Army and protect the transportation line was actually "besieged" by the Independent Regiment.

The Japanese have never sent heavy troops to solve these "Eighth Route Army" but the units of independent regiments operating in companies and platoons are very flexible. Often, the heavy troops of the Japanese will disappear without a trace, while various attacks on strongholds, convoys, and garrisons broke out in another place, and the Japanese troops could only run away.

When there were all kinds of attacks everywhere, Lianhua Town, 70 miles away from Ping'an County, was extremely quiet!

The Japanese thought they had ambushed the independent regiments and guerrillas that were operating here, so they became quiet, but they never expected that the independent regiment was brewing a huge move here.

...

Sun Cai Village.

Zheng Yingqi sat at the table with a cold expression, studying the information collected during this period. Not far from him, the model of the white water base made of mud was lying there quietly.

Sun Desheng ran into Zheng Yingqi's yard excitedly and said excitedly: "Old Zheng! That bastard Wang Sui is out!"

It was Wang Sui who used fake information to trick Shen Quan into assembling the 3rd Battalion and guerrillas to attack the Lianhua Town stronghold. As a result, he was ambushed by the Japanese in Zhangjiaya. More than 300 soldiers from the 3rd Battalion and more than 50 soldiers from the guerrillas, only a few people rushed out of the siege, and 309 soldiers fell into the ambush circle!

A month ago, Zheng Yingqi brought the reconnaissance company that merged with the guard company to the surrounding area of ​​Lianhua Town. Zheng Yingqi entered Lianhua Town for investigation many times, hoping to wait for an opportunity to solve the culprit, but the other party stayed in a stronghold not far from the town and kept showing up. Zheng Yingqi guarded patiently for many days, but never waited for the traitor to come out.

In the end, Zheng Yingqi became ruthless, you won’t come out, right? Then I will set up the Lotus Town stronghold!

According to the summary of the reconnaissance information during this period, the Japanese garrison in the Lianhua Town stronghold had a squadron, but this squadron was not full, and the configuration of the troops was far lower than the conventional configuration of the Japanese army. The total number of people was about 140. However, the number of puppet troops in the Lianhua Town stronghold was quite large, and there was a battalion. Although this battalion was not full, the total number was about 350.

The total number of Japanese and puppet troops in the entire Lianhua Town reached 500.

On Zheng Yingqi's side, he brought only more than 80 reconnaissance companies. Although the third battalion has been expanded by Sun Desheng for a period of time, the number of people is still not large, with only more than 90 people. The two units have only 180 people in total. It is simply a fantasy to build a stronghold.

In Sun Desheng's view, the best way is to notify the regiment headquarters and let Li Yunlong gather the 1st and 2nd battalions, so that the troops they can use can exceed 1,000. However, Zheng Yingqi opposed it. In his opinion, it would be easy for the Japanese to assemble troops now to block the Japanese. Even if the Lianhua Town stronghold was captured, the entire regiment might not be able to break out of the Japanese siege.

So he planned to use the power in his hands to achieve his goal. Sun Desheng could not convince Zheng Yingqi, so he could only wait for Wang Sui, the traitor, and he thought that as long as he killed Wang Sui, Zheng Yingqi would not take the risk.

But unexpectedly, when Zheng Yingqi heard that Wang Sui finally dared to enter the town, he did not show any joy. Instead, he said slowly: "Let him live a few more days."

"Don't deal with him?" Sun Desheng frowned and looked at Zheng Yingqi: "Old Zheng, are you determined to take down the Lotus Town stronghold?"

"I have some clues. Corps Sun, don't worry, I won't take risks."

"I can't take risks?" Sun Desheng smiled angrily: "Who doesn't know that you like adventure the most in the whole group! Two people dare to conquer Heifeng Village alone, and one person dares to rush to a Japanese squadron. Don't you take risks?"

Zheng Yingqi smiled, but did not answer Sun Desheng's question, but asked Sun Desheng: "Company Commander Sun, do you know this person Lin Jiadong?"

"Lin Jiadong... Can I not know this kid? The 3rd company commander of the puppet army in Lianhua Town stronghold, his father is Old Man Lin who runs a restaurant in the town," Sun Desheng sneered: "Old Man Lin has a good reputation. Unexpectedly, he gave birth to a son who is a second ghost. I guess his ancestors of the Lin family are so angry that they are going to cheat the zombie!"

Zheng Yingqi asked again: "Have you known about Lin Jiadong?"

"Aren't it just a dog traitor and two Japanese devils? What's there to know? By the way, I've noticed that this guy is very steadily leading his troops. Most of his soldiers are from Lianhua Town, so they don't have many evil deeds on weekdays." Although Sun Desheng looked down on traitors like Lin Jiadong, he still had a certain understanding.

Zheng Yingqi handed Sun Desheng a piece of information. After Sun Desheng took it, he quickly looked at it. After a while, he said, "I can't tell, this traitor is still a filial son!"

Zheng Yingqi also has some information about Lin Jiadong, one of which needs to be identified:

It is said that Lin Jiadong was unwilling to be a puppet army at first, but after the Japanese established the Lianhua Town stronghold, the two Japanese devils often went to Mr. Lin’s restaurant to eat and drink for free. They had no choice but to go to Lin Jiadong to become a puppet army. There is a rumor that Lin Jiadong’s teacher was an official in the Japanese puppet regime. Lin Jiadong walked through his teacher’s path and transformed from a two-divine big-headed soldier to a company commander of the Japanese puppet army.

"Company Commander Sun, Lin Jiadong is an alternative among the puppet troops," Zheng Yingqi looked at Sun Desheng and said, "He is not like other puppet troops, who use his skin to harm the village, but instead uses his identity to restrain the puppet troops in the stronghold. Because he can speak Japanese, he can talk to the Japanese, and he also deliberately or unintentionally saved many people."

"Do you want to fight for him?" Sun Desheng looked at Zheng Yingqi in a daze.

"Do you think the possibility is high?"

"It's hard to say, but I don't think it's possible. The Lin family has been in the town for generations. Do you think he has the awareness to give up his huge family business?" Sun Desheng shook his head and said, "Or he has a conscience, but he may not necessarily have this awareness."

"What if, just ask him to provide us with information?"

"You want to develop him into our inside line?"

Sun Desheng said hesitantly: "But Lin Jiadong's position is not clear. If we contact him, if he devotes himself to the noble son, then it will be very dangerous for us to send people to contact him."
