The puppet army, used to describe the paramilitary troops that cooperated with the invading army to oppress the people and troops of the country, have been mentioned many times in the history of the War of Resistance. For these puppet army, who mostly devoted themselves to the Japanese, they endured the cold eyes of the people, but with a desperate mentality, they were aimlessly active in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

As the commander of the Sanhe City Security Division, Hu Hao, after receiving the orders of the ferry captain, the immediate boss, gathered the troops very quickly with the cooperation of a Japanese squadron, or using surveillance, which could prove the existence of this Japanese squadron. With the rank of major general, even an ordinary Japanese soldier could scold him at all times. This kind of cowardly and frustrating treatment has been from the initial anger to the current habit of being used to it.

Hu Hao asked himself that after becoming the security division commander, he and his subordinates rarely harmed the surrounding people compared to other puppet troops he knew. However, when wearing this dress, he would be disliked by the people. If he did not follow the orders of the ferry colonel to eliminate or massacre the people of his own country, he was also disliked by the Japanese army.

He was helpless and was so drunk every day that he felt that the air outside was fresh when he walked out of Sanhe City. Although he knew that the task was to rescue the siege of Dachang City, and to cooperate with the two Japanese infantry brigades that arrived in Xianghe in advance to snatch Dachang City back from the militia. Hu Hao was unwilling to fight with the militia, but he had to do it.

After leaving the city, he ordered the troops to delay time as much as possible. Anyway, with his division of nearly 5,000 people, a Japanese squadron would not dare to force him too much. After all, Hu Hao, a puppet military advisor, is a few troops near Peking that surrendered to the Japanese army in a system. If the Japanese army really encircled and wiped them out, I am afraid that the puppet troops in the Japanese army will be disappointed. If the Japanese want to continue to win people's hearts, those who take the initiative to surrender must be more tolerant. This is also the reason why he can survive until now!

Speaking of leading his subordinates to surrender to the Japanese, Hu Hao believed that he was full of grievances. He was originally a brigade commander of the Northeast Army. He received the order from the Northeast to Sanhe City to cooperate with the National Army troops to defend the city. As a result, when the Japanese army captured Sanhe, the National Army troops were the first to escape.

His Northeast Military Department, which was usually not trusted, soon became a scapegoat who cut off the rear of the national army. Of course, in the words of the commander of the National Army at that time, it was called to hand over the important task of defending the territory and fighting the war. I remember that Hu Hao, who received this order at that time, really wanted to say to that guy, "Go away your important task!"

In order to save the lives of his subordinates' brothers who followed him, in the face of powerful military deterrence, he knew that resistance could only be killed. The Xinhan National Government was neglecting and slow to treat them. In order to save the lives of the soldiers, Hu Hao finally chose to surrender to the Japanese army and became a puppet military commander who was used by the Japanese army for key propaganda.

Thinking of the years when he was the commander of the puppet army, many of the Northeast Army soldiers who surrendered with him took off their military uniforms and left his troops. Hu Hao knew that anyone could leave for the departure of these old brothers and colleagues, but he, the puppet army commander who was the target of surveillance by the Japanese army, could not leave. Otherwise, there would be few brothers in his security division who would survive in the end. How could Hu Hao, who had dealt with the Japanese army a lot, not know?

After serving as the security commander of the Sanhe puppet army for several years, Hu Hao felt that he was alive every day was similar to death. If he hadn't known his existence, he would have given many brothers who stayed with him the courage to continue to grit their teeth and live, Hu Hao would really want to give himself a shot to solve this painful way of living.

In the past few years, he has been doing some city defense and even maintaining local public security. Of course, there are many people who died because of him. But many times, he is always willing to let go if he can. He really can't attack the militia troops outside the city for the sake of the thousands of brothers in the division. But he is very clear that the soldiers in these divisions are like him, and they are more of them.

This time, Hu Hao ordered the troops to delay time as soon as he left the city. It was rare to leave the city, so he had to wander around for a while. Compared to the Sanhe City, which made him feel depressed, the outside world undoubtedly made him feel more relaxed.

Seeing the pseudo-military advisors wandering around, the Japanese squadron leader who was fighting with them said unhappily: "Baga, Hu Hao is passively slacking off again. The radio operator, send me a report to the ferry colonel, strictly ordering the security guards to speed up the march. Otherwise, if the fighter plane is missed, all the families in their city will be punished for their crimes."

Speaking of this puppet military advisor who was originally considered friendly forces with them, none of the Japanese troops in Sanhe City looked at them. In the eyes of these Japanese troops, since Hu Hao chose to surrender to them and was willing to accept their incorporation, he should make due contributions to their Greater East Asian jihad, rather than being lifeless and passive and slacking off every day. This made the Japanese troops, which had always been accustomed to the style of Lei Li, look down on the puppet military unit from top to bottom, whose number was close to their corps.

Even if they can't stand it, the Japanese all knew very well that with their troops in China, if they want to rule such a large area of ​​occupied areas like China, the role of these puppet troops cannot be ignored. If they really wipe out the military officials of the regular Chinese army like Hu Hao who surrendered to them. Other puppet troops that were not very loyal to them will definitely feel that cooperation with the Japanese army is unreliable. If this continues, it will still cause a lot of trouble for them to control the occupied areas.

After receiving a telegram from the Japanese squadron leader, the ferry captain felt that Hu Hao was really hateful. He knew that time was the most precious time, and he would dare to treat him negatively. Soon, in the name of the highest military commander of Sanhe City, he sent a telegram to the security guard for questioning.

When the radio operator of the security guard received the telegram and saw that the Japanese were about to threaten the families of these puppet troops in the city, he felt that the Japanese were really insidious. But he had to admit that this threat still made Hu Hao finally order the marching speed to speed up. No matter what, he would walk a tightrope when he got along with the Japanese, and if he was not careful, he might be crushed to pieces.

Just as the Japanese squadron leader followed the security division with a proud look on his face, the radio operator sent them a telegram from the Xianghe Infantry Brigade and asked them where they were now. Because they had gathered on the road near the city of Dachang, they waited for them to go straight to Dachang after they arrived.

The Japanese squadron leader naturally did not dare to neglect his inquiry telegram from the infantry brigade. He quickly notified the radio operator to inform the infantry brigade of his location, and ordered the security division and his troops to speed up and go to that highway to meet with the Japanese infantry brigade.

Compared to the Japanese squadron leader who received the telegram and was full of thoughts on regaining the three major cities and receiving meritorious rewards, Hu Hao, who received the telegram, found the assembly site sent by the infantry brigade on the map, he thought in confusion: "This Yinfeng Gorge is a good place to ambush. How could those Japanese choose to gather there?"

As the largest puppet army commander in this area, Hu Hao is still very clear about the local terrain. Out of the sensitivity of the military commander, he has a certain understanding of some places in his jurisdiction that are suitable for ambushing and easy to set up ambush. For this reason, when he saw the Japanese police notifying that the assembly place he was about to go to was Yinfeng Gorge, a bold assumption suddenly appeared in Hu Hao's mind. That is, would this telegram be caused by the militia unit that siege the city?

Hu Hao still has some understanding of this North China militia column that is becoming more and more famous on the ground in North China. Especially last year's ambush of the Japanese Fourth Division brought a little shock to the puppet troops who surrendered to the Japanese army, and also gave them a certain warning.

Even in the Sanhe Security Division, Hu Hao knew that this militia unit had some insiders. However, these insiders were not like the intelligence personnel of the National Government or other warlords, and they often caused trouble for him. The security division also seemed very secure. If Hu Hao had not had a strong grasp of the division headquarters, he might not have discovered several militia intelligence personnel who were difficult to detect.

In order to constantly cut off the retreat, Hu Hao did not remove the personnel inserted in these militia columns as soon as possible. Instead, he pretended that they were not aware of it and allowed these personnel to move freely in the security division. Of course, for the troublemakers installed in the national government, Hu Hao's approach was that if these intelligence personnel threatened his or even the lives of the soldiers in the division, he would also mercilessly remove the other party from the security division. This style of conducting only for self-protection made the Japanese army unable to catch a handle and threaten him.

After asking several confidant officers from the division headquarters to discuss it, these officers, who were similar to staff, were more unbelievable about the assumptions proposed by Hu Hao. So much so that Hu Hao felt that he would think too much. However, with the Japanese squadron leader who was eager to make contributions, he could only buried his concern in his heart. While instructing the entire division to be vigilant, he still politely let the Japanese squadron take the lead and they followed the team.

When the Japanese squadron leader rushed into Yinfeng Gorge, Hu Hao suddenly felt a trembling heart for no reason. Just when he was about to notify the security division to slow down and enter Yinfeng Gorge, the scouts in front had already seen the Japanese squadron leader and connected with the Japanese infantry brigade who arrived here in advance.

Did you really think too much?

Just as he led more than 5,000 security troops into Yinfeng Gorge at a slow speed, he finally understood what happened in front of him. His worries along the way were not unreasonable, because the Japanese infantry brigade that was joining the Japanese squadron in front was now massacring this Japanese squadron in the same military uniform as them.

The Japanese are crazy? Kill their own people?

Compared to the shock of the security division soldiers when they saw this scene, Hu Hao's heart was even brighter. At this time, he was able to fully confirm that the Japanese infantry brigade that used telegrams to lure them into Yinfeng Gorge was probably pretended to be the militia troops who captured Dachang City.

Just as Hu Hao ordered the troops to defend, and the rear team turned into front team and quickly retreated from Yinfeng Gorge, a message came from the troops behind that made the security division officers and soldiers look tight. Shortly after they entered Yinfeng Gorge, the entrance to the canyon was blocked by a Japanese armored unit. This means that they were surrounded by unknown troops!
