I am a wolf warrior

"Uh, yes!" Jia Ren shuddered when he heard the words, and changed his words repeatedly, "Although there have been floods and droughts in recent years, the tenant farmers on the village have already exhausted their grain reserves, and those who originally had small land Others can no longer sustain themselves, only Master Shang still has hundreds of thousands of catties of food in storage."

"Hundreds of thousands of catties?" Wang Ye snorted, "To be more specific, how much are thousands of catties?"

"I really don't know about this." Jia Ren said with a bitter face, "I only know that there are three big granaries left in Mr. Shang's house. It is estimated that there should be hundreds of thousands of catties, but I really don't know how much."

Wang Ye thought for a while, and then asked, "Do you know the size of the granary?"

"I know." Jia Ren nodded and said, "It's about a foot square."

Wang Ye quickly calculated the volume, and one zhang square equals about 36 cubic meters.

If wheat is loaded, one cubic meter can hold about 1500 jin, 36 cubic meters is almost 54000 jin, and three granaries can hold 162000 jin.

A landlord in a large market town has only 16 catties of surplus grain left.

It can be seen that the drought in Henan has really exhausted the grain reserves of the people in Henan.

"That's all?" Wang Ye said coldly, "What other information do you know, tell them all, and I will determine how many arms and legs I will leave for you depending on the quantity and accuracy of the information you have confessed."

"Ah?" Jia Ren's face turned pale with fright when he heard the words, and he wanted to take off his arms and legs?

"Ah what?" Wang Ye said, "Based on what you're talking about now, at most I'll leave you with one leg."

Speaking of this meal, Wang Ye said again: "Don't even think about making up and fooling around, because we have also sent many scouts to scout the surrounding area, in case the information you provided is not correct, hehe, then I can only say sorry to you, and directly chop you into a stick and throw it back to the gate of Shangzhuang!"

"Ah, human stick?" Jia Ren shuddered coldly.

Jia Ren wasn't sure if the national army officer in front of him was trying to scare him, but he didn't dare to take the risk.

At that moment, Jia Ren said anxiously: "Sir, but I don't know what to say, or if you ask, how about I answer your question?"

"That's fine." Wang Ye said again, "Apart from your battalion in Shangzhuang, are there any other puppet troops or devils stationed here?"

"Yes, yes." Jia Ren hurriedly said, "There is a puppet battalion of more than 300 people in Yangmaozhuang, ten miles to the south. The battalion commander of this battalion is named Li Zhengde, and our battalion commander Zhang Bohua is the deadly enemy."

Wang Ye smiled and said, "So your battalion commander's name is Zhang Bohua?"

Jia Ren hummed and said again: "Our battalion commander is the teacher's brother-in-law, a loyal confidant, so the teacher put him in Shangzhuang, a treasured place of geomantic omen, to benefit from it."

"Shangzhuang holds Fukou and Xingkou tightly. Business travelers from northern Henan to southeastern Shanxi have to pass through here. In normal years, I don't know how much tolls I can charge a year. It is definitely a fat job. Li Rongqing sent his nephew Li Zhengde to Yangmao Village because of his jealousy, just to get a share of Fukouxing's profits."

"Li Rongqing?" Wang Ye asked in a deep voice, "Who is this Li Rongqing you are talking about?"

"Sir, you haven't heard of Li Rongqing?" Jia Ren was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said again, "Li Rongqing is the commander of the 1st Division of the Provisional Security Army in Northern Henan. The 1st Division and our 2nd Division are enemies. It's for the imperial army, uh, no, although everyone is doing things for the devils, the two of us are incompatible."

Wang Ye said again: "Aside from your battalion and Li Zhengde's battalion, are there other armed forces nearby?"

Jia Ren said without hesitation: "Besides our battalion and Li Zhengde's battalion, the only one nearby is the Northern Henan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps entrenched on Qingliang Mountain twenty miles away."

Wang Ye was amused when he heard the words: "Northern Henan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps?"

This is really unexpected, to meet a colleague in Henan North.

Jia Ren hummed and said again: "The commander of the North Henan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps is surnamed Wang, and his name is Wang Taigong. This guy used to be a local ruffian in An County. The imperial army, er, no, it was devils. After the devils came in, the 29th Army was beaten. He had to throw away his helmet and armor, and threw all the weapons and equipment along the Ping-Han line. Wang Taigong, an old man, picked up a lot, and then used these weapons and equipment to pull up the pole, and even played the banner of resisting Japan. In fact, resisting Japan, I've been hooking up with devils in secret."

Wang Ye asked: "How many people are there in Wang Taigong's Northern Henan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps?"

Jia Ren said: "There are quite a few people. It is said that there are more than 3000 people. The equipment is also abandoned by the 29th Army. It is said that there are Maxim heavy machine guns and Shanghai-style 82mm mortars."

Hearing this, Wang Ye secretly rejoiced, this is really good news.

This time they came to northern Henan alone with the 3rd brigade. In addition to the shortage of ammunition, they also lacked artillery.

Because the brigade commander not only did not give the mountain artillery, but also did not give the infantry artillery, mortars and grenades.

This time, Wang Ye finally saw the brigade commander's "picking", it was real, he really did it.

Therefore, it is definitely good news that Wang Taigong's Northern Henan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps has Shanghai-style 82mm mortars, because it means that their 3rd Brigade alone or the Northwest Henan Detachment can form artillery units.

In modern warfare, it is really impossible without artillery, and it is difficult to fight a gun tower.

Wang Ye was thinking in his heart, Jia Ren said again: "This Wang Taigong has no skills, but he gave birth to a good son. His son's name is Wang Ying, and he is called Dwarf Tiger."

"Wang Ying was admitted to the Luoyang branch of the Central Military Academy at the age of 15 and studied infantry for three years."

"After graduating from the Infantry Department of Luoyang Branch, I became a platoon leader in Shang Zhen's 32nd Army."

"The imperial army, uh, no, after the devils came in, Wang Taigong called Wang Ying back."

After a pause, Jia Ren continued: "This bastard dwarf tiger actually used the skills he learned in the Central Military Academy to set up an officer training team in An County, and trained more than 100 backbones for his father! With these more than 100 backbone members, Wang Taigong was able to raise the banner of the Northern Henan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps."

"That's interesting." Wang Ye smiled and said, "Jia Ren, you know a lot?"

"That's it." Jia Ren said proudly, "Sir, you don't know that I, Jia Ren, am a well-known inquisitor in northern Henan, including which concubine's gum our teacher went to, and there is nothing I Jia Ren doesn't know about. hey-hey."

At this point, Wang Ye has basically completed his portrait of Jia Ren, who is an exquisite egoist who is good at drilling, good at observing and summarizing, and greedy for life and afraid of death.

The luck of this operation is really good.

Actually caught such a high-value tongue.

Wang Ye originally planned to silence him after asking, but now he has changed his mind. It is still useful to keep such a person, and there is no need to worry that he will reveal the activities of his group.

There is a high probability that this guy will keep his mouth shut about this matter.

Otherwise, if his battalion commander finds out, he will be unable to eat and walk around.

Of course, even if Wang Ye is leaked, he is not afraid, the Wolf Warriors are not vegetarians.

The puppet army can still resist while hiding in Shangzhuang. If they dare to come out, the Wolf Warriors can easily deal with them, and even open the gate of Northern Henan without the main force.

At that moment Wang Ye said: "Okay, you can go back."

"Ah?" Jia Ren couldn't believe it when he heard it.

"Why? Don't you want to leave?" Wang Ye said with a smile, "Then stay."

"Uh, no, no, no, that's not what I meant. I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now."

Jia Ren shook his hands in anxiety, then turned and ran, but he was facing Wang Ye and the others when he ran. Obviously, he was worried that Wang Ye and the others would secretly shoot him from behind.

Wang Ye couldn't help being amused, this is really a villain's heart and a king's belly.

If their Wolf Warriors really wanted to kill him, did they need to shoot him in the back?

Watching Jia Ren's figure disappear into the darkness, Duan Peng said in a deep voice, "Captain, let him go like this? What if this bastard recruits Shangzhuang's puppet army?"

"Wouldn't that be better?" Wang Ye said with a smile, "It will save trouble."

"That's right." Duan Peng nodded and said, "If the puppet army really dares to run out of Shangzhuang, they can only be used as a living target for us. There are more than 300 puppet troops, and it is estimated that they will last for less than half an hour."

Lin Han said: "Half an hour, what are you thinking about?"

"If they survive for a quarter of an hour, they will win."

Chapter 594 Stand firm

While talking, the dog meat has been roasted.

Yang Hu took the roasted "roasted whole dog" and came to Wang Ye first, meaning to ask Wang Ye to pick the fattest piece first, but Wang Ye waved his hand and said, "You can divide it directly."

Yang Hu directly divided the dog meat with a knife.

Wang Ye was also given a catty of multi-rib meat.

There is almost no fat on the dog, and there is no seasoning, only a little salt is added, and Yang Hu's barbecue skills are not satisfactory, so the taste can only be regarded as mediocre, but for the dog who has not eaten meat for almost half a month For the Wolf Warriors, it was still delicious, and everyone ate it with gusto.

After eating the dog meat, Wang Ye said again: "In the next few days, except for the left-behind personnel, the rest of the personnel will go out in groups of two to investigate. How do you treat the local people, do you bully the people? Do the people hate them?"

"Yes." Several cadres including Wang Xikui, Yang Hu, and Feng Xianghe nodded at the same time.

Wang Ye's eyes fell on Yang Hu again: "Butcher, you take someone to stay as a horse stake."

"Ah?" Yang Hu's face collapsed, "Captain, can someone else stay here?"

Wang Ye snorted coldly and said, "Why don't you become the captain of the Wolf Warriors Squad?"

Yang Hu stopped talking, and could only deal with the dog paw in his hand sullenly.

Wang Ye said to Wang Xikui and Wei Xilai again: "Xizi, Xiao Huihui, you two keep watch."

After speaking, he looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Others, sleep."

After finishing speaking, Wang Ye and the team members fell down and lay down one after another.

Wang Xikui and Wei Xilai left the col.

……

Beiping, No. 11 Iron Lion Alley.

Neji Okamura finally returned to the headquarters.

Sanji Okito said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Your Excellency, you are finally back. If you don't come back, everyone will forget that there is such a commander as you."

"Sigh." Neiji Okamura sighed, and said again, "Actually, why do I want to stay in Taiyuan? Although Kita-kun didn't say anything on the surface, he definitely doesn't like me staying in Taiyuan for a long time in his heart."

Oshiroto Sanji said: "Your Excellency, do you really have to stay in Taiyuan?"

"It's not that you have to stay in Taiyuan." Neiji Okamura waved his hand, and said, "I'm worried that if something unexpected happens, if Kita-kun doesn't handle it well, all previous efforts will be wasted."

After a pause, Ningji Okamura said again: "After all, Mr. Kita is a newcomer, and he has never fought against such a fierce and cunning enemy as the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army before. It is easy to suffer a big loss in a sudden fight, so I will Staying in Taiyuan for a long time, I am afraid that the [-]th Brigade will suddenly attack."

"Will the [-]th Brigade really do it?" Sanji Oshiroto said disapprovingly, "The current [-]th Brigade is no different than when it was in Northwest Shanxi. After the arsenal was destroyed, their war potential dropped sharply. Can the little ammunition they carried when they broke out support a large-scale attack?"

"Facing an enemy like the [-]th Brigade, one cannot be careless." Okamura Ningji shook his head and said, "Especially now that the blockade of the Taiyue bandit area has reached its final juncture, the [-]th Brigade may take risks at any time and initiate If the imperial army makes the mistake of underestimating the enemy at this time, it is not just a matter of wasting all previous efforts."

Sanji Okito said: "Your Excellency, when it comes to the blockade, many officers in the base camp are said to be quite critical of our blockade strategy, and they all think that this measure is doomed to be fruitless."

"Let them talk." Neiji Okamura frowned, "The mouth grows on their bodies, and it can't be blocked."

After a pause, he continued, "As long as Tojo-kun and His Majesty the Emperor support the blockade policy, that's enough."

Oshiroto Sanji said: "The problem is that the attitudes of His Majesty the Emperor and His Excellency the Prime Minister have gradually become ambiguous, and they no longer support us as clearly as before."

Okamura Ningji immediately fell silent when he heard the words.

In this world, no government can be monolithic.

It is impossible for any policy to be launched without any opposition.

As far as the cage policy in North China is concerned, there are quite a few opposing opinions in the military and political circles, who believe that this policy is costly, and the effect is extremely slow, and it is not in the interests of the empire.

The cage policy is like this, and the siege of the [-]th Brigade is even more so.

Because of the blockade of other Eighth Route Army bandit areas, not many troops were used, but the blockade of the Eighth Route Army Taiyue bandit area used six divisions!

There are many staff officers in the Army Headquarters who think this is superfluous.

At the beginning, Hideki Tojo and Hirohito were still supportive, but as time went by, especially as the strength of the Pacific battlefield became tighter, the attitudes of Hideki Tojo and Hirohito became increasingly ambiguous.

After a while, Okamura Ningji said quietly: "So at this critical juncture, you can't make mistakes, or not only the blockade of the Taiyue bandit area will be in vain, but the cage policy of the entire North China will also be completely overturned. At that time, the public security situation in North China will return to the situation two years ago."

Sanji Okito is also a sigh.

……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

The time came to early April of 1942.

There was a heavy snowfall in the Taihang Mountains, and the endless stream of refugees in Fukouxing finally disappeared. I don’t know if they were looking for a place to hide, or they froze to death and were covered by the heavy snow.

After Li Yunlong met the boss, he also rushed to Fukou Xingkou with the main force of the Northwest Henan Detachment.

In a mountain depression about ten miles away from Shangzhuang, Li Yunlong met Wang Ye.

"Xiao Wang." Li Yunlong touched his nose that was red from the cold, and asked, "Have you figured out the situation?"

"Leader, political commissar." Wang Ye saluted Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang respectively, and nodded to Xing Zhiguo and Zhang Dabiao, and then said, "The situation has been figured out."

While talking, Wang Ye spread out the map on the snow.

When Li Yunlong came over, Wang Ye pointed to the map and said, "Look, this is Fukouxing. This place is where we are. This is Shangzhuang, and the southeast of Shangzhuang is Yangmaozhuang."

"Shangzhuang?" Li Yunlong said, "Before coming here, the comrades from the fourth division of the Taihang Military Region said that they had attacked Shangzhuang several times before, but they were unable to take it down. It is said that the fortifications are quite strong."

"Yes." Wang Ye nodded and said, "Shangzhuang is a large market town with six to seven hundred households. The town is surrounded by a six-meter-high and two-meter-thick wall, and a trench two meters deep and four meters wide has been dug outside the wall. , the people in the town can only enter and exit through the front gate, and there is a suspension bridge at the gate, so the whole is a small city, which is really strong."

"Damn." Li Yunlong scolded, "It's a bit troublesome to say that."

"If it is difficult to fight Shangzhuang, you can also fight Yangmaozhuang first." Zhao Gang asked Wang Yedao, "Little Wang, is Yangmaozhuang in the southeast as difficult as Shangzhuang?"

Wang Ye said: "Almost, Yangmaozhuang also has ditches and walls."

Xing Zhiguo frowned and said, "This is going to be troublesome, we don't have heavy weapons to attack."
