Chapter 58: Accumulating Strength (1)
Li Mingrui, who was ordered to be a vanguard, met Huang Dali who came to find them before he walked far. Seeing Yang Zhen injured, he was walking on the ridge with difficulty with a branch that replaced the crutch. Huang Dali hurriedly helped several people bring him to make a stretcher and forced Yang Zhen to sit on it.
Seeing Huang Dali, Yang Zhen didn't care about his injuries. The first sentence was to ask Guo Bingxun and others about the situation: "Why are you here? How are Lao Guo and the others? Have you reached Daqingdingzi Mountain?"
"Don't worry, Commander Yang, Chief Guo and the others have arrived at the designated location safely and have been hidden, so you don't have to worry anymore. Chief Guo has been waiting for you for two days and has not waited for you, so he asked me to come out to find you. But as soon as he came out of the mountain, he encountered the Japanese blockade line. After waiting for the Japanese to retreat for several days before coming over."
"How are your injuries? So many Japanese, how did you avoid their search? I've been so anxious these days. The three layers around here and the three layers outside are all Japanese, and I can't even penetrate it." Huang Dali helped Yang Zhen onto the stretcher and said with concern at his injured leg.
Although Yang Zhen was elected as Commander-in-Chief by all his brothers at this time, Huang Dali had always called him Company Commander-in-Chief Yang in his heart. Huang Dali always felt that Company Commander Yang was much closer than the Commander-in-Chief Yang.
When Yang Zhen learned that Guo Bingxun and his party had arrived at the designated location safely, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "It's nothing big, it's just that the Japanese bullets penetrated a hole. There's nothing left now."
"Dali, you are an old scout. Being a vanguard, Mingrui is not here. Now you are here, so it's up to you." After that, Yang Zhen turned his head and said to Li Mingrui: "You go too, learn how to march first. Then talk about other things."
Li Mingrui, who was a little anxious because he could not be with Yang Zhen, had finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Huang Dali coming, and was about to hand over the task Yang Zhen assigned to him. However, he did not expect that Yang Zhen asked him to be a vanguard with Huang Dali, which made him hesitate a little.
"Sir Yang, there are opportunities to learn. Now you are injured and you don't have anyone to protect you. Since Dali is here, let him explore the way for everyone first. As for me, there are still opportunities in the future."
"No, you can follow him now. You kid have been walking in the world for many years, and you have experience, but that's a wild path. It's okay to fly solo in person, but it's not enough to lead a team to fight. You are still far from this regular marching battle. Dali is an old scout, and the experience accumulated over the years is worth learning. The Japanese will not leave us too long for rest, so you must start learning now."
Yang Zhen refused Li Mingrui's proposal without thinking. Li Mingrui has been alone in the world for many years, and has both methods and scheming. Moreover, if we talk about alertness and certain specific aspects, these people may not be able to compare with him. But if we talk about marching and fighting, he is still far behind.
Yang Zhen already had a general idea of how Li Mingrui should be used in the future. But this guy needs to learn too much before he is alone. Since he is ready to let him be alone, Yang Zhen thought it would be better to learn from now on.
Hearing Yang Zhen's words that were not allowed to change, Li Mingrui opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but Huang Dali next to him pulled his sleeve and shook his head at him.
After understanding Huang Dali's hint to him, he also understood Yang Zhen's personality after getting along for a few days. He knew that things had come to this point and it would be useless to fight for it anymore, so he had to nod and leave with Huang Dali.
Leaving Yang Zhen, Huang Dali shook his head and said to Li Mingrui with an unhappy look: "Don't be born in a blessing and don't know how to be blessed. Who can I show a widow's face? Didn't you notice that Company Commander Yang admires you especially? He is looking for every opportunity to teach you."
"You have seen what Company Commander Yang has done. Damn, he has become a god. I was the Red Army that participated in the 20th year of the Republic of China. It has been seven or eight years since the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area to now. There are not less than a dozen commanders with him. This is the first time I have seen a commander who is both civil and military, like Company Commander Yang."
"Grandma, I don't even say anything about the words of the Japanese, but I also know the words and words of the Japanese. Look at the ruthlessness he was when he killed people. He was like a college student who came down to earth from the stars of Wenqu? He was a butcher. If such a person with both civil and military skills were willing to teach me, I wouldn't be happy?"
"By the way, what are your achievements in Wudaolingzi? How about it, how many Japanese and puppet troops were killed by the explosives we buried? We heard the explosion far away. If Chief Guo hadn't stopped him, we would have run back to see the results."
"How many Japanese and puppet troops have been killed? A large group of Japanese troops, the puppet Manchukuo Army should be a regiment of troops. In total, less than half a company of puppet Manchukuo Army ran away. None of the others were left, and all went to the West. The price we paid was just a few brothers who were injured and killed in the messy artillery bombardment of the Japanese army."
"You didn't see that scene. I think the so-called Shura Field is like that. The broken limbs and broken arms fly everywhere, and the trees around me are full of intestines. I was a man who was very brave, but I almost didn't vomit when I saw that scene. By the way, there was a Japanese major general inside."
After hearing Li Mingrui's words, Huang Dali's chin was almost scared. A large group of Japanese troops and a regiment of the Manchukuo Army was gone. Who is this company commander Yang? He has such ability? He raised his hand and actually destroyed more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops.
As a veteran of the 115th Division, Huang Dali, who participated in the Pingxingguan Battle, was very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. In the Pingxingguan battle, there was sufficient ammunition. The 115th Division, the only three divisions of the 18th Army, fought only the logistics troops of the Japanese Itagaki Division, and nearly a thousand casualties were killed. But this man destroyed thousands of Japanese and puppet troops at the cost of several people.
As a veteran, Huang Dali knew very well. The Japanese army here were all elites of the Kwantung Army, and their combat effectiveness was far from comparable to the so-called large luggage troops of the Japanese army in Pingxingguan. No matter how arrogant he is, his combat effectiveness is also quite strong.
Looking at Huang Dali, Li Mingrui shook his head. Looking back at the scene at that time, although he was at the scene, he was also stunned at that time, and was frightened by the result.
After a while, Huang Dali, who woke up, sighed: "I'm telling me why the Japanese made such a great decision this time and mobilized so many Japanese and puppet troops to clear them. Grandma, the blockade was strictly blocked from north to south for more than ten kilometers, and she couldn't even find a gap. It turned out that they suffered such a huge loss in Wudaolingzi. How did you survive such intensive searches by the Japanese these days?"
"How did you get through it? Let me tell you, we stayed under the eyes of the Japanese Command for four days, and then relied on the raw meat of two pheasants and a little water to maintain it. Although the Japanese were cunning, they didn't expect that we would hide under their eyes. In the past four days, we almost searched all this area, but we didn't find us."
"You didn't know at that time that Chief Yang was exposed to the rain, causing injuries and was infected. He was having a high fever and was sleeping all the time. But as soon as the gunshots were heard, he immediately became energetic. He only observed the terrain once and decided that we would hide in that cave and not go there."
"Don't say, his method is really effective. Although the cave is hidden, there is an open land below. Chief Yang asserted that the Japanese would definitely put the command center there. He told me it was called dark under the light. The more dangerous the place was, the safer it was sometimes. We had been hiding under the eyes of the Japanese Lieutenant General's eyes for so long, but the Japanese didn't notice it. However, the brothers have been starved to death in the past few days."
"Damn, that's fine. How the company commander Yang's head grew is almost as good as Zhuge Liang. Grandma, you kid is so fucking lucky. Why didn't I have such a good thing? If I stayed to protect Company Commander Yang, you wouldn't have anything to do with you kid."
After hearing Li Mingrui's words, Huang Dali's eyes turned red. He was half jealous and half joking. He really envied this guy's good luck now. If he was the one who was attracted to him by Company Commander Yang, he would not say anything else, and if he had learned half of his ability, it would be enough for him to benefit for life.
With Huang Dali leading the way, finding the main force will naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort. After arriving at Daqingdingzi Mountain, Yang Zhen did not spend much effort and found Guo Bingxun and his group of people who were anxiously waiting for him in an extremely hidden nest.
Seeing Yang Zhen being carried back, Guo Bingxun, Peng Dingjie and others rushed forward and asked Yang Zhen how he was injured. Because he had not seen Yang Zhen for a few days, Xiaohuzi, who was almost crying when he saw Yang Zhen being injured, was squeezed to the periphery.
Looking at Guo Bingxun and Peng Dingjie who were looking at him with concern, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "There are no minor injuries. They are the two of them who are making a big deal and they have to let me do something to do. "
After seeing Yang Zhen’s skills, Peng Dingjie naturally would not believe Yang Zhen’s understatement. Guo Bingxun was not familiar with Zhang Ting, who had always taken care of Yang Zhen, so he didn’t ask. But Peng Dingjie was not polite and said directly: “Xiao Zhang, how is Lao Yang’s injury? Is it serious or not? I know you are a doctor, and I hope you can tell us the truth, not help this guy hide it.”
"Old Peng, this Chief Yang's injury is not serious. He did not hurt his muscles and bones. He was just penetrated by a Japanese bullet. It was a piercing injury, but was infected by the rain. Fortunately, there are people among you who know herbs, who use herbs to control the development of the injury."
Speaking of this, Zhang Ting turned her head and looked at the opening because there was no backup first aid kit or bandage. She could only use the liner of the wedding gown that Zhang Ting wore torn into a cloth to temporarily replace the tightly wrapped bandage. Guo Bingxun, who checked the wound, said: "Sir Guo, I heard that Chief Li said that you have any medicines seized from the Japanese?"
"Huzi, go and take my box right away." Hearing Zhang Ting's inquiry, Guo Bingxun nodded and turned his head to shout at Xiaohuzi who remembered jumping straight outside because he couldn't squeeze in.
After instructing Xiaohuzi to get the medicine, Guo Bingxun saw Yang Zhen's tired face and rushed out of the Japanese bacterial war base to the still alive brothers surrounded by him: "Everyone, go back and rest first. Commander Yang needs rest. What do you have to say? Wait until Commander Yang has rested before talking about it."
When he heard Guo Bingxun's words, Yang Zhen seemed very tired, and the crowd of 30% of the inside and outside dispersed. Seeing Yang Zhen coming back alive, these people seemed to have found their backbone, and their hearts that had been hanging for him fell to the ground.
After the crowd had dispersed, Guo Bingxun ordered people to lift Yang Zhen into a temporary shack made of branches, and waited for Zhang Ting to clean it for him and retreat after he stepped down after he said: "Old Yang, you have no news these days, and you are almost anxious to death. The Japanese have dispatched so many troops to tightly block the Wudaoling area. Lao Peng and I are really worried about something unexpected happening to you."
Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "It's a worry. There's nothing wrong. It's just a mouse under the eyes of the Japanese. Don't worry, I don't die so easily. Didn't it mean that good people don't live long and harm them for thousands of years? I'm just a disaster, just a disaster, a specialty for the Japanese. Although I won't live for thousands of years, the Japanese have not yet driven away. How could I go to see the King of Hell so easily?"
Seeing that Yang Zhen still had the strength to watch the joke, Peng Dingjie shook his head and said, "I still have the strength to make a joke. It seems that there is no problem with your injury. Forget it, you should tell us what happened in the past few days."
Yang Zhen did not answer Peng Dingjie's question, but said: "Lao Guo, Lao Peng, the experiences in the past few days are nothing, and there is no need to say it or not. However, I have thought a lot in the past few days, from the time we rushed out of the bungalow, to the moment we have encountered everything we have encountered. I feel a lot of emotion."
"What impressed me the most about the battle and marching these days was the speed of the Japanese's reaction. Even if the Japanese occupied the convenience of transportation, the speed of the Japanese from discovering us to mobilizing troops was incomparable to any unit of the National Army. Whether it is the Central Army, the Local Army, or our 18th Army, no unit can be compared with the Japanese army."
"We killed thousands of Japanese and puppet troops in the Wudaolingzi iron mine in the early morning. The Japanese pursuers were pestered again at midnight that day. This was the help of the heavy rain in the evening. Otherwise, I would not know if I could get rid of the Japanese pursuers."
"Before this, we broke through the blockade of the Japanese and puppet troops on the Ash River line. But less than four hours after you left the Wudaoling Iron Mine, the Japanese's large team of troops had arrived. Even if there were traitors to inform them, the efficiency of the Japanese was extremely high, whether they were mobilized from Harbin or Mudanjiang. The speed of the troops gathering was far beyond our imagination."
"Of course, it is not ruled out that the Japanese have occupied the convenience of modern transportation. But although many places we pass by are not far from the railway line, they are generally more than ten kilometers. In some places, even the most basic highways are not accessible."
"Old Guo, Lao Peng, you probably didn't expect that when the Japanese we came in Wudaolingzi came, we had almost no idea that the Japanese would move so quickly. If Li Mingrui hadn't felt anything unusual, I'm afraid the Japanese would know that they would hit us."
"The other thing is that although we are mentally prepared, we still underestimated the Japanese's control over the Northeast after years of operation. Huang Dali's experience on the Ash River line, and after you left, I copied it again in Wudaoling."
"We must be extremely careful in all our decisions in the future. If the people here say they are willing to serve the Japanese, I don't believe it. But the people here have no confidence in us, that's certain."
"One is the Japanese's mobility, which now seems to be far above us. Even if they are separated from modern means of transportation, their marching ability is still incomparable to us. The second point is the issue of intelligence. We must build confidence for the people and let them change from passive to active assistance."
"Without the help of the people, we will not only lose supply and supplements, but also have the most basic source of information. Without the help of the people, we will be the fish that left the water. We will be blind and deaf."
After hearing Yang Zhen's words, Guo Bingxun nodded and said, "Old Yang, what you said makes sense. I have been considering what you said in the past two days. Lao Yang, although I have studied at the Saint-Sill Military Academy in France, I have never served as a military chief officer, and mostly a staff officer. The same is true for Lao Peng. Among the three of us, you should still be the main one. Tell me, what should we do."
"How to do it? I think what we need to do most now is two words "training". Only by training a unit with a good style, well-trained and strong military style that dares to fight against a strong enemy under any circumstances can we be invincible in the battle against a strong enemy."
"We cannot compare with the Japanese in terms of weapons and equipment, but we must surpass the Japanese in terms of military quality. Even if there is a gap between individual combat capabilities and Japanese in terms of Japanese in terms of tactical training, we must surpass the Japanese in terms of tactical training. The Japanese are not invincible, the key is how we face them."
"Old Guo, you came from the French Saint-Sil Military Academy. In terms of theory, my people from the grass-roots team are naturally far inferior to you. You have been more troublesome during this period. The brothers we rushed out of the Japanese concentration camp must be trained in special training. We must train according to the quality of a qualified officer."
"As for those workers, select some literate people from them to train as squad leaders and reserve officers. Remember, what we want is not the kind of troops that are piled up with sand that are broken when they encounter strong enemies. What we need is an iron army, an iron army that cannot be fought, cannot be tired, and cannot be hungry."
Regarding Yang Zhen's words, Guo Bingxun was silent for a long time before nodding and said, "Okay, Lao Yang, please rest assured. I will come up with a training outline as soon as possible according to your requirements."
After hearing Guo Bingxun's promise, Yang Zhen raised his head and looked at Qingshan, which was layered outside the shack, but had not spoken for a long time. After a while, he said: "Old Guo, Lao Peng, the Japanese will not leave us too much time. They will soon turn their eyes to here."
"This is not a place to stay for a long time. We have to move eastward and deep into Zhang Guangcai Ridge. We are now avoiding the enemy's edge, not because we are afraid of him. We need some time to accumulate our strength. Only when our strength is restored can we better eliminate the Japanese. We either do nothing, and if we want to do it, we must do it until it doesn't sound, and it will be earth-shaking."
