After everyone had eaten their fill and rested for a while, they once again set off on their journey towards Forest Valley Village.
Lin Gou Village was more than forty miles away. A group of people braved the wind and snow to march all the way. Su Yang observed the terrain along the way and found that although the Changbai Mountain Range was crisscrossed with mountains, there were many flat river valleys.
The population was mainly concentrated in these valleys.
"In such a terrain, it is not difficult for the devils to sweep. They just need to sweep along the valley. In such a terrain, the only way to counter the attack was to block the entrance of the valley. This would turn into an offensive and defensive battle with the Japanese.”Su Yang had a general conclusion in his heart.
The three eastern provinces were an area of immigration. The warlords used the railway to migrate in large numbers from the pass, and the population only increased to 30 million.
If the immigrants wanted to farm, they would have a large area of land to reclaim, and they would not run into the mountains and forests. Therefore, in the Changbai mountain range, the population was basically scattered in the flat areas of the mountain valley. There were not many people in the deep mountains and forests, and they could not support guerrilla warfare.
If they wanted to establish a base here, they had to find a way to protect the population of the valley and prevent it from being wiped out by the devils.
It was impossible for ordinary guerrillas to block the Japanese. Su Yang felt that it should not be a problem for him to block the entrance here. He could buy a large number of weapons and equipment from the system, as well as construction machinery such as excavators and bulldozers. It was relatively easy to block the entrance in the narrow valley. He could build a group of fortifications and he would be able to block ten thousand people.
These fortifications could also be used to dig tunnels. If the Japanese broke through, they could withdraw the people.
If the Japanese wanted to forcefully sweep the area, they would have to pay a painful price, and they might not even be able to break in.
Even if they managed to break through a group of fortifications, they could still build layers of fortifications behind them. They could even build permanent fortifications that would not be destroyed even if the Japanese sent their heavy artillery over.
A rough development strategy for the base had already taken shape in Su Yang's mind.
……
After nearly three hours of trekking, Su Yang and the others finally reached the periphery of Lin Gou Village. The group of people quickly hid and secretly observed the situation in Lin Gou Village.
Su Yang picked up the binoculars and looked around. Lin Gou Village looked very quiet, but he saw a few puppet soldiers wearing puppet military uniforms standing guard.
Su Yang handed the binoculars to Zhang Jiyong and said in surprise,"This landlord is really not afraid of death. The guards are already wearing dog skin, but he's not afraid of being taken away.”
This Li Juren was really something. He directly put on dog skin. Wasn't this drawing Hatred Points all over the world? Even if Su Yang did not bring people to smash the cellar today, they would still be smashed by the other bandits.
"There are more than fifty of them. Ordinary people really don't dare to provoke them.”Zhang Jiyong said as he looked at the situation in Lin Gou Village with binoculars.
"Let me see, let me see." Li Wenxian snatched the binoculars away. Zhang Jiyong couldn't be bothered to argue with him and stuffed the binoculars over.
Li Wenxian looked carefully through the binoculars and said,""Battalion Commander, it seems like there aren't many people! There were only five or six with guns. If we charge out now, we can catch them off guard.”
"Yes! As usual, they would attack with precision first, then Big Bear and Big Bear would charge first.”Su Yang immediately arranged the tactics. The 1st Battalion had just been established and had not had much training. Too complicated tactics were not easy to execute, so simple and crude tactics were the most effective.
"Wait, wait, there's a situation."
Li Wenxian, who was holding a telescope, suddenly shouted in a low voice. Everyone looked in the direction he was looking at and saw a group of Japanese and puppet soldiers appear in their line of sight.
There were more than a hundred Japanese and puppet soldiers, and they were pulling more than 30 carts that were filled with things. It was obvious that they were going to harm the surrounding people. The things in the car were all looted supplies, and there was a large group of livestock behind them.
Su Yang quickly grabbed the binoculars and observed them carefully. He saw that among the hundreds of Japanese soldiers, there was only one squad of Japanese soldiers, a total of 13 people. The rest were all Japanese soldiers.
Among them, the Japanese squad leader was riding a horse leisurely. Beside him was a local gentry dressed in silk brocade and a melon skin hat riding a donkey. He must be Li Juren.
"Let's go in and fight. We'll fight the devils first. Those puppet troops are mainly captives.”Su Yang said to everyone.
"Understood."
"Understood."
"I'll be in charge of the squad leader, you snipe that Li Juren.”Su Yang said to Zhang Jiyong, who nodded."No problem?"
"Everyone, open fire on my command.”Su Yang ordered.
A group of people lay prone on the mountainside. The Japanese and puppet troops approached without them noticing. Below them was a flat valley with no place to hide.
The Japanese were not very vigilant. They did not encounter any organized resistance when they burned, killed, and looted. A group of Japanese soldiers was walking at the front, while a group of puppet soldiers were pulling carts and herding livestock.
"Taijun, today's harvest is great!”Li Juren said obsequiously to the Japanese infantry squad leader.
"Yuxi! Big, big." The Japanese squad leader gave him a thumbs up. He was extremely satisfied with today's harvest. They had swept through two villages and seized a large amount of food, money, and livestock.
The coquettish look on Li Juren's face became even more obvious. His face was smiling like a chrysanthemum.
At this moment, Li Juren was full of ambition. He relied on his half-baked Japanese and the Japanese army's plaything called 'Army Chinese.' Whatever he said was the Japanese army's Army Chinese. Thus, Li Juren successfully joined the Japanese and became a guide. It was not a problem for him to communicate with the Japanese.
With the support of the Japanese, Li Juren quickly absorbed the surrounding local ruffians and formed a puppet army of hundreds of people. At the same time, they colluded with the devils to plunder the surrounding landlords and civilians. Not only did he get the money and food, but the land would also be his in the future.
Li Juren, who had defected to the Japanese, was finally about to realize his dream of dominating a region.
Just as Li Juren was happily fantasizing about dominating the surrounding villages, they unknowingly approached the position less than 200 meters away from Su Yang's ambush position.
"Yes." Su Yang roared and instantly pulled the trigger. A bullet ended the life of the Japanese squad leader riding on the horse.
