The weather in early July was very hot. Liu Chuan had also changed into a short-sleeved shirt and put it on. Although the greenhouse effect was not as strong as in the future, it was still hot in summer.
Even wearing a short-sleeved shirt was uncomfortable. At this time, Liu Chuan began to miss the air-conditioning of the future. It was so comfortable to stay under the air-conditioning every day, but he still had to do what he had to do.
Liu Chuan was sitting in his office in the government building, blowing a fan. He was thinking about something.
Yongsheng Guishilang did not bring his troops back to Xuzhou. He was currently stationed in Shangqiu, commanding his troops to begin encircling the guerrillas. His heart was filled with hatred for the guerrillas. If it weren't for the guerrillas continuously blowing up the railway, how could he be chased away by the national army?
This was seen as a disgrace to his military career, so he wanted to encircle and annihilate the surrounding guerrillas and clean up the rear.
There was a reason why the 238th Regiment was transferred back. There were guerrilla forces around Xuzhou. There was one, not far from Xuzhou. It was in Zaozhuang. There was a railway guerrilla force there.
Trains in this era were slow, unlike in the later era, where trains could travel at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour. If they encountered a train that could travel at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, the wind would blow you up into the sky.
In this era, the speed of trains was slow. Under normal circumstances, they could only travel at 40 to 50 kilometers per hour. This was still fast. If they encountered some places with bends, their speed would drop to about 20 kilometers per hour.
This was what the railway guerrillas did. They didn't sleep at night every day. They formed groups to do team building. When they saw that you had a train, they would blow up your tracks. In the middle of the night, when the train stopped, they had something to do.
When you stop, grab onto the train and move as much as you can home. Sometimes, when the team building didn't go well, the train would stop and they would go up to take a look. They would see that they were all holding useless things and throwing some explosives at you.
The Japanese were very troubled by these guys. The local garrison had surrounded them several times, but these guys were all locals. They were as slippery as mudskippers. There were also people in the city to cover for them. Once the Japanese left the city, the others would get the news and run away.
When you withdraw your troops and return, they will come back and continue to form teams to build teams. The Japanese thought of sending more people on the train. When the train stopped, they would be on guard and not give the guerrillas a chance to seize the train.
However, the Japanese had sent so many troops over. They had tried to use the puppet army, but the puppet army was even more rampant than the guerrillas. When they encountered the guerrillas, they would surrender and become deserters. The Japanese could not find anyone to take responsibility for it.
It was better to drive the armored car to patrol the railway, but the guerrillas would still mess with you from time to time.
They were also the targets of this purge. The original garrison brigade of Xu Prefecture City belonged to the 238 regiment, so the 238 regiment was transferred back.
The commander of the 238th Regiment was called Takano Ochishi, a very standard Japanese officer. He had just arrived in Xuzhou and had taken a day off yesterday. Today, he came directly to Liu Chuan's office.
" Yanagawa-kun, I believe you have received the orders from the Regiment Commander. I hope you can cooperate with the Imperial Army to annihilate those damn guerrillas."
Osamu Takano looked at Yanagawa and said," Commander of the colonel's regiment. This is already a proper middle-rank or high-rank officer. One more step and he will become a general. He knows a lot of things."
Liu Chuan was the representative supported by Eternal Turtle Shiro. At present, Eternal Turtle Shiro had given his authority to Liu Chuan, hoping that Liu Chuan could provide food for the imperial army. Before he left, Eternal Turtle Shiro had also told him not to look at Liu Chuan with discrimination and contempt.
As long as Liu Chuan could solve the problem of the imperial army's food supply and stop them from transporting food from the country, Liu Chuan would be valued even more.
In addition, Yanagawa was a student of Eternal Turtle Shiro, so Takano Osamu's words were not as full of contempt as Chiba Yamato's. Instead, he made you feel like he was a friend.
This was probably the reason why Takano Otsuki was the chief officer while Chiba Yamato was only a major officer.
"Of course, this is also a question I've been thinking about. These guerillas committed all kinds of crimes, destroying transportation, destroying production, and disrupting social order. It was because of their existence that our rear was always in chaos.
There are many barren lands that the commoners don't dare to cultivate because of their existence. I naturally agree with the idea of encircling the guerrillas.”
Takano Otsuka did not expect Yanagawa to cooperate.

Military General Administration
"Pa ~ The Japanese in North China are about to begin their encirclement and suppression of the enemy's rear.”
Dai Yunong slammed the document in her hand onto the table, her brows tightly knitted. This information was, of course, sent by Liu Chuan. Dai Yunong was currently unable to obtain this kind of information from the higher-ups of the North China Division. The only person who could do it was Liu Chuan.
In a special environment and with a special identity, Liu Chuan inadvertently became an intelligence officer planted by the Chinese army among the Japanese.
This was just an unintentional move by Liu Chuan. His current relationship with the commander was one of mutual assistance, similar to cooperation.
Liu Chuan needed to contact the guerillas on the battlefield behind the enemy lines and needed their cooperation. The Military Command Bureau also needed important military secrets provided by Liu Chuan.
In a very short period of time, the two of them formed a temporary cooperative relationship because of their needs.
"Director, should we think of a way to inform the guerrillas behind the enemy lines? Although those troops had been defeated on the main battlefield, they had been separated from the main force.
However, they still played a great role in the enemy's rear battlefield, not to mention that they are the national army after all."
A young man in his thirties sat on another chair and asked Dai Yunong. He was the director of the Second Division of the Military Command Bureau, Ma Qiaoshan, and one of Dai Yunong's right-hand men.
The Second Bureau was also known as the Secret Service Bureau in the Military Command Bureau. For example, the Second Bureau was responsible for assassinating traitors and organizing assassinations of traitors.
The first division was responsible for intelligence and the establishment of intelligence stations. As for the third division, it was the Electronic Surveillance Division. The third division was responsible for cracking the Pearl Harbor intelligence report in history.
"Of course we have to inform them. This is the army of the national army, how can we not inform them?”
Dai Yunong's eyes widened. There was no reason for his brother not to inform them. Moreover, this number was not small. The national army still had about two hundred thousand troops.
"But the Eighth Route Army and their troops…"
Ma Qiaoshan raised his eyebrows and looked at Dai Yunong.
"Them? Hmph, I can't control them!"
Dai Yunong sneered. The meaning was very simple. The words meant that they were not subordinate to each other, but in fact, everyone understood in their hearts.
