Chapter 109 Return
What is the essence of guerrilla warfare? If you are highly summarized, it is two words "flexible". Flexible actions, flexible thinking, avoid the real and attack the virtual, bully the weak and fear the strong.
Therefore, Chen Chen had no objection to Zhao Tie's decision. He always wandered around this area, and maybe he would be surrounded or targeted by the enemy one day.
After several infiltrating battles, the squad already had some special combat meanings.
Although this is far from the standard in Chen Chen's mind, it can minimize the loss of the team. These experienced team members may teach others in the future and become commanders who are accustomed to this kind of tactics.
To be precise, the members of the team are the spark. Whether they continue to be in the guerrillas, join the regular army, or become militia in the future, they will have different qualities.
The team retreated into the mountains and forests, and kept resting, returning to the camp directly. They made a fire and cooked. After resting for two hours, the team left overnight and turned toward the base.
The supplies were carried, mainly guns and ammunition, and the rest were temporarily hidden in the secret camp. Although there were two large animals stolen from He Jing Tang's family, each team member also carried two or three guns on his back, or even more, so that all of them could be transported away.
"You have to recite it!" Chen Chen scolded and hung three more guns around Sasaki's neck.
Sasaki's body was pressed down and he sank, finding balance again, and did not dare to say anything, and continued to move forward.
The Japanese also understood that the woman's subordinates were all around her. They all listened to her words and knew that she had no sympathy at all when she looked at her expression.
There were also those two bad guys who wanted to cut eggs. They looked at him from time to time, and their eyes were not good, so scared that Sasaki didn't even dare to let go of his farts.
Chen Chen didn't have to carry a gun at first, even if he gave it to her, some of his subordinates were rushing to share the burden. He walked next to Sasaki with ease, and Chen Chen was chatting with him. Of course, on the surface, it seemed like he was learning Japanese.
Sasaki was honest and answered questions whenever he asked, but he was getting more and more surprised.
There are really a very smart person in this world? Sasaki used to not believe it, but now, he is basically sure that the young woman in front of him is.
In fact, it was impossible for Sasaki to know that Chen Chen had long been able to speak Japanese. However, if his identity changes, he had to hide something and find a suitable reason.
It is obviously not possible to learn Japanese all the way. Chen Chen knew that he should be patient and contact Sasaki several times before his Japanese abilities can gradually be revealed.
Chen Chen made his own small plan and walked along the way, and when the sky turned slightly white, the team had already arrived at the bottom of the cliff.
There are always people on duty on the cliff. When they meet the secret code, they put down the ropes and hanging baskets.
When the team reached the top of the cliff, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Now that they were in the base area, they couldn't help but feel relieved.
After walking for more than ten miles of mountain road, the team arrived at the transfer camp. At this time, the sun had risen.
Boil water and hot rice, the team filled their stomachs, and then lay down and rested. The day and night of trekking and fighting were so exhausted.
Chen Chen and Yang Ye received special treatment and hugged each other in a small wooden house.
In the war era, such conditions were already considered good. At least, there was no snoring like thunder, gritting teeth, farting, and squeezing the lips.
After a long sleep, I slept until after 2 pm before the team members came to greet them.
Lao Zhou, who received the news, sent people to pick up supplies and personnel. Several large trucks saved the fatigue of walking, and the speed was much faster.
At dusk, the team entered Chencun, which was truly home. Although there were no gongs and drums to greet them, the joy of the team members was obvious when they saw familiar people and scenery, and they talked too much and laughed.
Although the conditions were limited, Lao Zhou still asked someone to prepare for the team who returned from the war.
It was nothing more than a few chickens, mushrooms and potatoes bought from ordinary people's homes, stewed two large pots, and baked white bread, but this also made the team feel warm.
During the meal, Lao Zhou accompanied him and introduced the recent situation.
After hearing this, Zhao Tie and others realized that there were some reasons for the action so smoothly.
The Japanese obviously refused to give up Zu Wang, the nail that entered the base area. In the past few days, 6 continued to increase their troops. Now, Zu Wang probably has a squadron of Japanese soldiers, adding more than 200 imperial assistant troops.
Demolition of the east wall and repairing the west wall is a common but unwilling method for the Japanese. If Zuwang has more enemies, the guarding power in the enemy-occupied area will inevitably be weakened, which will be very beneficial to the actions of the team.
Especially this last action, it was actually very risky.
Of course, Zhao Tie and others also continued to decide on their next actions based on the captive's confession, and the enemy's empty force also made the team dare to continue to attack.
"After Zuwang's enemy increased its troops, he launched several attacks, and three surrounding villages and towns were occupied. Fortunately, the masses retreated, leaving only an empty place for the enemy."
Lao Zhou took a sip of cigarettes and then said slowly: "Because of the cold weather, the enemy cannot quickly build artillery towers and bunkers; it is also very difficult to build roads and dig blockades, so the enemy retreated to Zuwang."
Zhao Tie thought for a while and said, "Does the enemy want to use the fast attack to prevent us from gaining a foothold around Zuwang? Wait for the spring to bloom and then take action?"
"After analyzing and researching, we believe that the enemy's intention should be like this." Lao Zhou said: "The enemy's weakness is that its lack of troops is that it can only be compensated by using maneuvers and firepower. Our disadvantage lies in its weak ability to attack and its inability to shake the strong strongholds and fortresses."
"It's cold and cold for us, too," Zhao Tie said in a deep thought: "Digging pits and mines is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is difficult to resettle people in various villages."
Lao Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "It's true. But for us, it's a good situation to be able to stand stalemate with the enemy. Of course, this can only be temporary."
In war, the weak side is passive, and naturally the more attacking, the less defense; the stronger side will naturally find ways to attack actively in an attempt to eliminate the opponent.
Therefore, Lao Zhou’s idea is not an exaggeration. If he can gain peace of development time, guerrillas, militias, and even regular troops will continue to become stronger after training and arming.
This is not negative, but the comparison of the enemy and us strength at that time, and the situation at that time.
Especially local troops such as guerrillas and militias do not have the ability to engage in frontal combat with the enemy. In order to sweep the Japanese, they can only use sparrow warfare, mine warfare, tunnel warfare, siege warfare, and raid warfare and other harassment tactics.
Now, landmines are being paid more and more attention as simple and easy to build, safe and efficient weapons. This is also Shen Chen's original intention and the situation he hopes to have.
Because a tactical theory must be combined with reality to be tenable and convincing. Natural tactical actions are given names and norms, and will be remembered and widely promoted by people.
In addition to landmines, of course there are other weapons, but it is not as easy to see the effect as landmines.
You should know that the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan were extremely arduous. The vast number of militias and self-defense forces in various base areas were active in the vast battlefield behind the enemy. Relying on mountains, dense forests, rivers, lakes, plains and tunnels, battlefields for killing the enemy were set up everywhere.
The original big swords, shuttle marks, axes, water, fire, and stones in nature have all become their weapons to kill the enemy.
These once simple and cowardly farmers performed lively dramas on the stage of resisting foreign invasion with amazing courage and infinite wisdom.
Zhao Tie said while eating, and then talked about the activities of the team in the enemy-occupied area. He won one after another and seized a lot, making the atmosphere of the conversation cheerful.
"Good guy, more than a hundred guns and a crooked handle, can be woven into a company!" Old Zhou was very excited. With these weapons and ammunition, the armed forces in the base area will be greatly enhanced, and the heaviness of Zuwang's stronghold pressing in his heart has also been greatly reduced.
"Copper head, iron waist, tofu belly, this is the current situation of the enemy's guarding." Zhao Tie said: "Although the enemy is holding on to Zuwang's stronghold, the weakness of the occupied area is difficult to solve."
Lao Zhou nodded in agreement and said, "Nevertheless, don't do it too often. You should collect enough information before each operation."
"Information is indeed very important." Zhao Tie said: "We are also constantly adjusting and changing plans based on the prisoners' confessions. Speaking of prisoners, the Japanese captured this time are very interesting."
It is a big deal to catch the living Japanese prisoners. Lao Zhou already knew about it and saw Sasaki. He was about to escort the prisoners to regular troops for ideological education.
"Well, such an honest Japanese are rare." Old Zhou smiled and said, "He told me that Damei is very powerful and his subordinates are very fierce, which makes him very scared."
Zhao Tie smiled and said, "If it weren't for Damei's scare, we wouldn't have known this guy could speak Chinese, and he spoke pretty well!"
After pausing, Zhao Tie continued, "By the way, Damei also learned to drive a car. He learned a lot of Japanese from Sasaki along the way. Maybe he can use it in the future."
Old Zhou turned his head and looked at it. Shen Chen was eating with Cao Xiaobao and others on the table not far away. One end was short and very alternative, but also very energetic.
"This girl is so happy, her head is cut so short." Old Zhou smiled and said, "I have become a tomboy. If I don't look carefully, I think she is a handsome young man!"
Zhao Tie shrugged and said, "She always has unexpected thoughts and actions, and I'm used to it."
Old Zhou laughed twice, his face slowly became serious again, and said, "A few days ago, I caught a spy who spyed on intelligence, and the Japanese began to pay attention to our sharpshooter."
Zhao Tie's eyes froze, he thought for a while, and said, "This is a matter of time sooner or later. Damei doesn't want to promote it too much, it is also because of this consideration."
"The fire cannot be kept in the paper. The enemy will sooner or later find out the news and will know that the sharpshooter is a girl." Lao Zhou said: "So, we should strengthen our protection for Damei. Well, as well as her family, we should also pay more attention to safety."
Zhao Tie nodded. He knew the Japanese's viciousness and strong revenge. Lao Zhou's concerns and suggestions were indeed very reasonable.
In fact, in Zhao Tiexin, he also hopes to set up a heroic example in the base area, boost people's morale and intimidate the Japanese and traitors.
But there are advantages and disadvantages. Chen Chen has always opposed it, and he has no way to force it.
Chen Chen had almost finished eating on the table here. Seeing Cao Xiaobao and Yu Baogen whispering, he asked curiously: "What are you talking about, sneaky."
Cao Xiaobao smiled, scratched his head, and said, "I took a bottle of good wine in Shangji Town, and wanted to have a few sips with my brothers."
After pausing, he hurriedly added: "Just take a few sips and go to bed after drinking. You probably didn't take action tonight, right?"
Chen Chen glanced at Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou not far away and felt that it was nothing. After the tense battle behind enemy lines, let the team members relax, even if it was short, it was a good adjustment.
However, Chen Chen still got up and walked to the table next to him, asking for instructions from Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou.
Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou had originally intended to give the team back from the expedition two days off. After hearing Chen Chen's statement, the two discussed it for a while and agreed.
Chen Chen went back and told the team members the good news, and the atmosphere immediately became happier.
Cao Xiaobao immediately went to get two bottles of wine. He poured some of them if he wanted to drink them, but he also found out that it would not work if there were too many.
Chen Chen also poured about one or two wine into his bowl. Shandong's famous Lanling wine has the luster of amber, which looks attractive and smells intoxicating.
Although there were no seven or eight bowls of dishes, the team members tasted and admired, and their emotions became more enthusiastic with the effect of alcohol.
Chen Chen sipped the wine gently and chatted with the team members. Although it was a brief period of joy and relaxation, Chen Chen and the team members had a very different mentality.
Psychologists once conducted an experiment: organize three groups of people and let them enter three villages ten kilometers away.
The people in the first group did not know the name of the village or how far they were. They just told them to follow the guide.
As soon as they walked two or three kilometers, some people started to complain; halfway through, some people were almost angry and kept complaining about why they had to go so far and when would they get to the end? Some people even sat on the side of the road and were reluctant to leave; the further they went, the lower their emotions became.
The people in the second group know how far the village is, but there are no milestones on the roadside, so they can only estimate the time and distance of the itinerary based on experience.
Halfway through, most people want to know how far they have gone, and more experienced people say, “It’s probably halfway.”
So, everyone surrounded and continued to move forward. When they reached three quarters of the journey, everyone began to feel depressed and felt exhausted, and the journey seemed to be long.
When someone said, "It's coming soon!" "It's coming soon!" everyone cheered up again and accelerated their pace.
The people in the third group not only know the name and distance of the village, but also have a milestone for every kilometer next to the highway.
People can look at milestones while walking, and every time they shorten a kilometer, everyone has a small array of happiness. While they are marching, they use singing and laughter to eliminate fatigue, their emotions are always high, and they quickly reach their destination.
