under fire

Chapter 670 Fishing in troubled waters
While Hu Yi and his party were waiting outside the southern village of Xinglong Town, a team of nearly 100 people was marching in the dark more than 200 miles to the north.

Tian Sanqi at the front of the team suddenly asked Zhang Yi: "You just said the base in the east, the spy leader we arrested, did he really do tens of thousands of acts of sabotage by himself?"

Zhang Yi stopped in the dark: "The notice issued by the superior said that a section chief who was active in the Jilu Devils Special High-Tech Co., Ltd. had recruited a large group of traitors and caused huge losses to the base area!"

Tian Sanqi always felt that it was unreal: "Aren't you bragging? Think about it, even if he destroys once a day, it will take two and a half years without interruption! The total number of people in our district may only be 2 to [-], which is unlikely .”

Speaking of this matter, Zhang Yi's mood immediately turned sour, and he recalled unhurriedly: "The situation over there is very complicated. The commander of the third military division died in the winter of last year, and on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the commander of the second division of Hebei and Shandong died again. .”

Tian Sanqi was not good at words, he was stunned for a while, and muttered: "Our independent group was poisoned last time, and dozens of them died!"

"So we must be more vigilant. The devils have set up some kind of propaganda class in the occupied area to train traitors and spies. They also use those traitors to thread needles, and even find candidates in our base areas, or use threats and lures. Unlike the mountains, in addition to being able to fight, you also have to have the mind to fight against the enemy, understand?"

Tian Sanqi was shocked, but worried: "Then Lao Qin and Lao Meng are also in danger?"

"Dangerous? Didn't our revolution stop because of the danger? So we must strictly guard against enemy agents. Even if their spies can enter our base area, we must prevent their news from getting out."

"Then can you tell me how to defend against enemy agents?"

"First of all, we need to know the situation of the enemy agents. Some spies will use the 'bitter tricks' to infiltrate our local troops of the Eighth Route Army, or even infiltrate the local armed forces or progressive militias first, and then wait for an opportunity to enter our base area. Moreover, the enemy has specially trained female spies, and then let them The female spy took the opportunity to get close to the cadres in our base area, and used various methods to trick the cadres into defecting. Last year, the headquarters found a security guard who was instigated by the female spy. Fortunately, the guard followed the boss for many years. In the end, he did not confess to the organization. Suicide with a gun, you say... how suspenseful this matter is..."

"Let me figure it out, you said there are two ways to defend the enemy, one is to prevent the enemy from entering our base area, and the other is to prevent them from spreading information even if he can come in, right?"

"So the organization requires not to ask what should not be asked, and not to say what should not be said, you understand!"

"I probably know, what should we do if the spies enter our base?"

"Well, we need to mobilize the masses. As long as everyone is staring at each other and the enemy agent wants to collect information, his behavior must be different from ordinary people. As long as the whole people is mobilized, even if the enemy sneaks in, it will not be easy for the spies to collect information and pass it on. For example, he collects a piece of intelligence and passes it on to the enemy. They have to analyze the authenticity of the intelligence, and finally come up with countermeasures and pass the order to the mopping up troops. One place, and you have to pay attention, those who are spies are generally afraid of death, otherwise they would not surrender to the enemy, so they generally would not directly assassinate, understand?"

"Then it's dangerous for us to send people into the enemy's interior?"

"This is not something you should know."

"Uh, then I know."

Under the moonlight, the team came to the side of the blockade ditch, and the lights on the distant gun tower illuminated the blockade ditch as bright as day.

After two small fires ignited somewhere in the distance, the searchlights on the two gun towers closest to the fires avoided a certain location intentionally or unintentionally.

After the team quickly crossed the blockade ditch, they immediately disappeared into the darkness.

Tian Sanqi stared wide-eyed: "Director Zhang, your work is really good!"

Director Zhang gave him a blank look: "Just know it, don't make it public."

As soon as he walked out of the range of the searchlight, the monkey rushed out from the side of the road: "How did you get here? Uh, why are there so many people?"

"To guard against the enemy's spies, most of the team is militia!" Director Zhang hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?"

"Xu Xiao is still in the town, and nearly a hundred bandits from Ma Dabangzi's lair have gone out."

Zhang Yi was overjoyed: "Then there aren't many people left in his lair, right?"

The monkey immediately shook his head: "It should be no less than a hundred."

Director Zhang was stunned: "Isn't he only one hundred and ten in total? What's going on?"

"During this time, Ma Dabangzi relied on his supply of food and recruited some small groups of bandits nearby, increasing his manpower by nearly half. Two groups of bandits arrived only yesterday."

"How can it increase so much?"

"A lot of bandits in the south can't survive, uh. Bandits are bandits, no amount of them will help!" Monkey turned to look at Tian Sanqi: "Hey, you will lead the team this time?"

"Can't I come?" Tian Sanqi suddenly changed his tone: "Uh, I'll cooperate with the public security team to wipe out the bandits!"

"Remind you, this group of bandits is not simple, and their equipment is no worse than our Jiulian."

"No matter how well equipped he is, he is still a mob!"

In the darkness, the team continued to move forward and stopped at the foot of a hill.

The two figures moved towards the town under the moonlight.

Half an hour later, the monkey took Tian Sanqi to scout around the town and quietly returned to the back of the hillside.

A flashlight was turned on, and the masterpieces of monkeys these days were placed on the ground.

The crooked map shows that the town is not big, and the layout is even simpler. The east-west and north-south channels form a cross street that divides the town into four major areas, with many alleys in between.

The town hall is located just north of the intersection, facing a large square to the south.

The monkey lowered his voice and said to Director Zhang: "There are earthen walls around the town, and sentries are set up on the four gate towers in the southeast, northwest, and no one is patrolling the town. Most of the people in the courtyard fled, and there were not many left, and the bandits lived in a mess, Xu Xiao drew circle marks on the walls of the courtyards where bandits lived."

Tian Sanqi thought of the last time he touched the security army barracks, and planned to repeat the old trick: "Director Zhang, there are only more than 100 bandits, and we are wearing the uniforms of the puppet army now. Why don't we just come to the police and go in directly through the gate?"

Zhang Yi shook his head: "No, with the temper of bandits, we will definitely not let us enter the town in the middle of the night."

"Then how do you say to fight?" Tian Sanqi had never personally commanded to fight a small town, so he had no idea.

Zhang Yi thought for a while: "Siege three squares and one, let's feign an attack from the south, east and west, and concentrate our efforts to ambush the bandits who escaped from the north!"

"The town is so big, what if the bandits don't come out?" Tian Sanqi hesitated and asked.

Zhang Yi frowned: "There are too many bandits, we can't attack by force"

Seeing these two mothers-in-law who even attacked such a small town, Hou Zi couldn't help suggesting: "The situation in the small town is a bit complicated, and we don't have many troops. If we want to take down all the bandits in the small town, the best way is to let the militiamen Surround the town first, and then our main force will sneak in, start the bandit den, and then go door-to-door like devils entering the village and get people to the square to say goodbye."

Tian Sanqi immediately objected: "There are more than 100 bandits. It's no problem for us to take down two hundred or so bandits. It's just that when the battle starts, the puppet troops in the nearby gun towers will probably send people when they hear the gunshots. We have to leave here before dawn."

Director Zhang thought for a while: "The method Monkey said is good. We actually don't have to go. As long as we can take down all the enemies before dawn, there should be no problem with safety. The public security team has already made an agreement with the insiders in the nearby gun towers. When the time comes, they will If they come over, we will say that those bandits who were killed are guerrillas and have been wiped out by us!"

"But the puppet army must know the bandits in the town?"

"Hey, that's our second leader who died heroically in the process of destroying the guerrillas. At that time, I will pretend to be the third leader and the fifth leader, with insiders to take care of me, and send them dozens of oceans. Who cares about the bandits? "

Monkey has a black line: "The battle hasn't started yet, you two are really big-hearted. Although these bandits are not even the security forces, the trouble is that the bandits are hiding in the dark, so they also have [-]-gauge guns , I think it’s okay to let the militiamen surround the town first while the guns are still being fired everywhere on the plain, and wait until the daytime to slowly eliminate those bandits?”

Director Zhang was a little worried: "It makes sense. Although the bandits only have a number of more than 100, they have taken advantage of the location. This battle is still difficult to fight."

The monkey didn't care at all. If there weren't too many bandits, the old man and the big man would be able to get rid of this group of bandits: "No matter how good the bandit is, he is also a bandit. Besides, there are so many new bandits. I don’t know each other, we just fish in troubled waters!”

Director Zhang thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "In that case, let's go over the wall and enter the town!"

The plan was made, Tian Sanqi immediately arranged for his three "squads" to mobilize immediately and change clothes with the militiamen.

Half an hour later, Tian Sanqi immediately began to deploy the militiamen in the uniform of the Security Force: "Use the squad as a unit to surround the town in two circles at about 100 meters and 300 meters away from the town. We must not let a bandit escape! "

It was quiet, and there were constant sounds of drinking and punching in the town under the moonlight.

There was a rush of people outside the village, a bandit at the city gate suddenly became nervous, pricked up his ears and looked carefully into the distance, and suddenly asked the bandit next to him: "Pheasant, wake up, wake up, there seems to be someone outside the town."

The other blinked sleepy eyes and yawned: "Can no one have ghosts?"

The person on the opposite side looked nervously at the open wilderness outside the town and muttered: "Who will be outside the town in the middle of the night?"

The sleepy one blinked and said angrily, "Oh, most of them are refugees fleeing for their lives, what do you care about them?"

The bandit on the opposite side hesitated for a while: "Could it be a guerrilla?"

"Guerrillas?" The half-awake person woke up with a start, quickly got up and looked into the hazy moonlight, and saw nothing after a long while: "Hey, are you dazzled?"

The bandit on the opposite side hurriedly said: "Can't you? I clearly saw someone, but this time... really disappeared."

"We are carrying out law and order purges everywhere. Even if there are guerrillas in the middle of the night, there are so many brothers in our town. Are you afraid of him?"

"That's right, our people are everywhere nearby, whoever dares to provoke us, then you can continue to sleep." The bandit really regarded himself as a puppet army.

No. 80 people crept up to the four-meter-high earthen city wall, no matter how careful they were, the movement was not small.

Immediately there was a dog barking in the town, and soon there was a commotion.

Amidst the creaking sound, some black figures emerged from the town, asking around suspiciously.

There were dogs barking everywhere, and I didn't know where it sounded first. A few bandits went to the gate of the town to ask, cursing.

"I seem to see someone outside the town." The bandits at the city gate saw that the Erdang family ran over with his brothers, and quickly told what they had seen before.

Er Dangjia felt a little nervous: "How many people are they here?"

"I didn't see it clearly. There should be a dozen or so."

"Only a dozen or so?" The second leader immediately felt relieved: "Then who cares, be careful and continue to watch closely. If there are brothers from other cottages who come to vote for us, let them wait outside the town and tell them clearly, God Big things have to wait until tomorrow morning.”

After the second master finished speaking, he yawned, and it was really a good idea to go back and sleep with his newly married daughter-in-law.

The bandits didn't notice that there were three groups of figures in the town, and each group was divided into three groups. The cats stooped and used the shadow of the low wall to quietly touch the houses.

The barking dogs in the town continued, and Director Zhang, who had set up a defensive line outside the town, had a sullen face. He had to worry that if the barking dogs continued, Tian Sanqi and the others who entered would attract the attention of the bandits sooner or later.

Gotta make the town bandits think the barking dogs are because of people out of town!

Thinking of this, he immediately led a squad of soldiers to the south gate, lit the torches, and walked quickly to the south gate of the town.

A long way from the city gate, a soldier yelled at the command of Director Zhang: "Is the head of Ma Da here? Our head of Shi Da specially asked us to come and pay a visit."

"Shi Da is in charge? Which Shi Da is in charge?" A voice came from the city gate.

"Linqi's Shi Wenhu Department! Hurry up and open the door for me."

"Never mind you Shi Wenhu, Shi Wenmao, the second master has given orders, wait until dawn." The man on the tower was not an outsider from Bird Town at all.

"It's so cold outside your mother's town, why do you let me wait outside by myself!" While speaking, Zhang Yi had already walked not far from the city gate.

"In my Ma Da's territory, if it's a dragon, you have to control it, and if it's a tiger, you have to let me control it!"

Several yellings were heard in the town, and the barking of dogs became louder.
Monkey followed Tian Sanqi and found Xu Xiao who was hiding in the village.

The three of them huddled in the corner, Xu Xiao sniffed, pointed to the map on the flashlight, and lowered his voice: "In front is the bandit gathering hall, which used to be the town hall, and there is a courtyard behind, three rows of houses and eight rooms. There are more than ten or twenty confidantes of Ma Dabangzi living in it."

"What about the other bandits?"

"The new bandits live in the east, the bandit wife and her family live in the town, and most of the few ordinary people left live in the north."

Tian Sanqi raised his finger to the gate, and gave the order behind him: "One team and one team occupy the gate, the second team enters the yard from the east over the wall, and the third team enters the yard from the west over the wall;
The second squad spread out to each intersection in the village to take charge of security. After finding a way to take down the four gates of the town, they immediately set up a cordon along the wall to prevent bandits from escaping over the wall.

The third squad will keep an eye on the new gang of bandits from the east first. If you encounter a situation, try not to shoot and use a bayonet to solve the problem! "

The two messengers waiting beside them immediately let go of their feet and ran into the darkness.

There are three classes under Tian Sanqi, each class has 34 people!There are three teams in each class, and each team has eleven captains!
The platoon leader does the job of the company commander!It would be perfect to have a guide.
In fact, Tian Sanqi had already found one, the guerrilla captain surnamed Liu on Lao Qin's side, although he was young, his education level was not low.
As for Director Zhang, that level is too high to be used, not to mention that he is too conscious in his words, and he is always educating himself. With his level, it is good to serve as a staff member or political commissar for the security team.
The barking of dogs in the town continued for a long time, and finally someone discovered that something was wrong.
