The last Japanese could no longer rush, and the defeated general was besieged in a small depression.

Raindrops fell from the sky in a dense manner, and gunfire exploded constantly. All the Japanese knew that death was right in front of them.

Whether it is a complete soldier or a wounded man, they sit or lie in the mud, tired and desperate.

The moans are very harsh, and those who change to their nerve weakness will go crazy. In fact, many of the wounded Japanese soldiers are already confused and talking nonsense.

Several mortar shells passed through the rain screen and smashed head-on, and explosions came one after another.

But the Japanese seemed to be numb. Most Japanese did not even dodge and still maintained their original posture.

There were still guns and cannons in other places, and although there were still scattered soldiers fighting tenaciously, the Japanese commander was already desperate.

There are too many enemies around it. Not to mention breaking through, it is impossible to meet with sporadic troops now.

Moreover, the meeting was just a little larger than the number of people and persisted for a longer time, but was still surrounded by the enemy.

But just sitting and waiting to die like this is obviously not the character and style of this guy.

This stubborn and cruel guy stood up and delivered his dying speech.

The general meaning is: the last moment has come, and everyone who can move must charge. Are you weapons? What is it? What is the wounded who cannot move? I am very sorry, so I have to lead the wounded soldiers to the underworld by the living officers.

Most of the Japanese rushed up and tried to charge. However, dozens of people were missing arms and legs, and were seriously injured and unable to move.

They make various painful, sad, miserable and indifferent expressions, reflecting the most basic desire of human beings to struggle and survive.

After several lower-level officers obeyed the order, things would be simple in the future. A bloody massacre began, the scene was tragic and disgusting.

The inhumane officer pointed at the pistol and killed the wounded soldiers one by one. Some wounded soldiers rolled around and shot several times. The gunshots rang dullly, just changing magazines occasionally.

The rain was dark, as if it was covering a shroud on the ground. The battle continued, but it had been removed at a fixed point, crushing the invaders into powder.

Suddenly, amid the crazy "squad leader", the Japanese commander started the final charge with the remaining Japanese.

The Japanese devils who committed suicide and charged in rushing into madness, they were desperate for their lives. Some were knocked down by gunfire, but the rest continued to charge.

Among the fallen Japanese, the injured and undead climbed forward with difficulty, as if they could enter their heaven by moving forward. The harsh howling sounds were sandwiched among the sound of gunfire, which was extremely shrill.

This decisive charge was unexpected. The Japanese actually rushed out hundreds of meters by desperate desperation.

But soon, the adjusted firepower made it difficult for the Japanese to move forward.

Mortars, grenades, and light and heavy machine guns shot fiercely at the charge of the Japanese devils, killing them with flesh and blood.

Behind the Japanese combat troops is a team of wounded soldiers.

Some of them were holding broken guns, some were hanging bandages, and in addition to those who were missing arms and legs, some were also blinded; some were supported by each other, some were held in groups of three or five; some had guns but no bullets, some had only a bayonet, some held a grenade, and some were just holding nothing.

They walked very slowly, jumping, shivering, wriggling, howling, crying, and laughing wildly. They also knew in their hearts that they could not kill several enemies at all, but just a disguised "collective septum".

Under the rain of bullets, the god of death took away all the Japanese wounded soldiers, no matter what thoughts, virtues, beliefs, love, and sins they had during their lifetime.

The sinful life of the Japanese commander has also come to an end.

A string of machine gun bullets hit his chest without any exciting moves or even short bold words. He fell into the mud with blood, like a dead dog.

The gunshots gradually became sparse, but the rain did not stop. The remaining Japanese were still resisting, but there were only two or three stocks, and each stock was only a few dozen people struggling dyingly.

Brigade Commander Chen walked on the battlefield of the flesh-and-blooded pillow, picked up a blood-stained cloth strip wrapped around the head of the Japanese corpse, and looked at the words "Iron Blood to serve the country and smash the enemy" on it, with a surprisingly no sarcastic expression.

The Japanese devils' suicide charge did not cause much loss, and it was not much more expensive than the price they paid to chew hard. It was even smaller. Everything was simple now, and even the wounded soldiers died completely.

Looking at this tragic battlefield, Brigade Commander Chen shook his head gently.

The Japanese devils are really an unreasonable nation. But I would rather die on the way to charge than wait for death. Isn’t this spirit worth learning for soldiers?

Of course, the strength of both sides in any battle is composed of many factors: force, firearms, logistics, commanders, morale, training, surprise attacks and accidentality…

Only when strength is similar can one be called combat, and the huge difference in strength can only be called suicide for the weak.

A mud-like Japanese suddenly jumped up not far away, howling wildly, pulling the grenades on his body. Amid the explosion of fire, several soldiers fell down.

"The large army gradually withdrew from the battlefield, leaving only a small number of soldiers to search for the remaining enemies with scattered troops." Brigade Commander Chen frowned and issued an order.

The small group of Japanese devils seems not very scary now. What is scary is the madman who is lying in the mud and pretending to be dead and suddenly pops up.

"Yes!" The messenger saluted and left.

The rain fell densely, and the visibility was very poor, which created conditions for the Japanese to commit suicide attacks.

Brigade Commander Chen and the guards around him did not notice it. A few dozen meters away, a Japanese man who was stunned by a shell in the mud woke up and moved slowly.

The Japanese man was covered in mud and water, and he could no longer see his human form. Only his crazy eyes showed some of his human characteristics.

The grenade was tightly held in his hand, and the Japanese crawled forward and approached.

Although Brigade Commander Chen was wearing a raincoat without any military rank sign, the protection posture of the surrounding guards, like the arrangement of facing a great enemy, and the salute of the messenger just now, betrayed his identity.

The Japanese didn't know who it was, but they were certainly a high-ranking official. He finally approached within thirty meters with difficulty and insidiousness, jumped up suddenly, howled and swung his arm.

With a gunshot, the Japanese were shocked and paused for a moment, and the grenade lost its strength and could only barely throw it out about ten meters.

The guards kept on guard, but unexpectedly, there would be Japanese soldiers in the mud not far away.

But for less than a second, several guards shot and surrounded the commander tightly.

Bang! Another gunshot was heard, and the Japanese suddenly leaned back and fell down.

In the distance, Chu Jiao and Zhang Chengfu pulled the bolt, loaded the bullets, maintained their shoulder-firing posture, cooperated with each other, guarding against the movements on the battlefield, and slowly walked over.

"It's Gillian and Cheng Fu." Brigade Commander Chen laughed, reached out and pulled out the guards, and waved to the two people walking towards him.

Chu Jiao and Zhang Chengfu have made their reputation in the Dabie Mountains base in the dual sniper mode.

It is not the base of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, but the border area behind the enemy's enemy-level anti-Japanese war.

That's right, not only the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and other escort armed forces were fighting behind enemy lines, but also the established National Army.

At the beginning of the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, the GM Party only attached importance to the front battlefield, "attention to regular troops. There were only a few self-defense forces in various regions, similar to guerrilla organizations."

However, with the decline of large areas of land such as Pingjin, Shanxi, Hebei, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the rapid defeat of the regular troops of the GM Party, many knowledgeable people deeply felt that China "with inferior equipment, just fighting for victory or defeat with the enemy on a one-point basis, will definitely not get a good result."

Therefore, the arguments of "full war" and "full war" became the most popular term at that time.

The National Government also realized this. In order to adapt to the new situation, the Military Commission formulated a new plan on December 13, 1937, pointing out that "the National Army should use the war zones as the outer corridors to launch a large-scale guerrilla warfare in order to ensure the core of Wuhan, persist in the war zones, and strive for the final victory."

On January 8, 1938, Jiang Zs convened an important military meeting in Hankou to discuss the tactics against the enemy.

At this meeting, Bai Chongxi proposed: In terms of tactics, "guerrilla warfare should be used to cooperate with regular warfare, strengthen guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, expand the occupation, strive for the people in the occupied areas, harass the enemy, and make the enemy hindered from the occupation of points and lines.

At the same time, the crackdown on pseudo-organizations has evolved from military war to political war, economic war, and then gradually changed into full-scale war. Total war is to win "small victories into big victories, and space for time" to achieve the effect of "small victories."

Bai Chongxi's suggestion was adopted by Jiang ZS, and then ordered all war zones to strengthen guerrilla warfare.

Of course, there are other reasons why Jiang ZS gradually attaches importance to guerrilla warfare.

After the fall of North China, almost all the GM Party troops, especially the direct troops, retreated. The Eighth Route Army entered the enemy's back and quickly developed and established a large area of ​​bases.

It was the lessons learned from North China that made Jiang Zs alert. After Shanghai and Nanjing fell, he deliberately left Han Dequan's troops about 100,000 troops in northern Jiangsu, and Liao Lei's troops were also left behind in northern Anhui.

The convening of the Hankou Conference marked the initial formation of the guerrilla tactical ideas behind enemy lines of the GM Party, but what is not matched is the lack of guerrilla theory.

Of course, the Party learned and became familiar with guerrilla tactics from the five "encirclement and suppression" of the Red Army, and had some research and application.

Afterwards, the National Army established many guerrilla commands and guerrilla troops organized by regular troops.

For example: There is Li Mingyang's guerrilla command in the Shandong-Suzhou-Anhui Border Region in northern Jiangsu; Chen Taiyun's advance team in northern Jiangsu; there is a base camp of the anti-Japanese troops behind Shandong (west of Weishan Lake), and the regular army cooperates with many guerrilla armed forces; there are successively the Huaibei People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army of Zhang Yichun, the commander-in-chief of Anhui guerrilla in northern Henan; there are Sun Tongxuan and He Zhuguo's guerrilla command in the Henan-Anhui Border Region, with the Henan-Anhui Border Region, with dozens of columns and more than ten detachments.

In addition, there are Liao Lei's 21st Army in the Dabie Mountains, Xu Yuanquan's 26th Army in the Anhui Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army, Wang Maogong's Jiangsu Advancement, Zhang Zhen's Eastern Henan Advancement, Hubei Eastern Hubei Guerrilla Column, Dabie Mountain Guerrilla Column, etc.

However, in the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the two parties of the Nationalist Communist Party were committed to building anti-Japanese bases behind enemy lines, but the results were very different.

The anti-Japanese bases behind the enemy were basically lost by around 1943. Nearly one million guerrilla armed forces behind the enemy would have almost lost by 1945.

On the contrary, the anti-Japanese base of the gc* Party quickly expanded from a corner of northern Shaanxi to more than ten provinces. The armed forces behind enemy lines also grew from tens of thousands of people to nearly one million people during the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

The same is to carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines and to operate the anti-Japanese base behind enemy lines, why are the outcomes of the two so different?

First of all: the GM Party’s battlefield behind enemy lines has repeatedly cooperated with the frontal battlefield, which has led to the Japanese army’s crazy sweep.

It is different from the fact that the Communist Party of China was able to adhere to "independence and independence" in guerrilla warfare. Although Chiang zs put forward the slogan "guerrilla warfare is higher than formal warfare", the anti-Japanese troops in various guerrilla areas of the GM Party are still the purpose of their activities to serve the formal warfare on the front battlefield, and their combat freedom is actually not high.

This kind of "serving formal warfare" can be divided into long-term and short-term. In terms of long-term role, since the GM Party Command made guerrilla decisions and advocated guerrilla behind enemy lines, the GM Party invested its troops behind enemy lines, and at its peak, it once reached more than one million.

The short-term role is to cooperate with the frontal battlefield and assist the main battles.

For example, during the Battle of Xuzhou, in order to prevent Japanese reinforcements, the guerrilla troops in the Second War Zone launched a full-scale attack on the enemy and disturbed the enemy; for example, during the third Battle of Changsha, the guerrilla armed forces in the Ninth War Zone launched a large-scale attack, assisting the field army in destroying the north and south roads of Miluo River, making the enemy's baggage and vehicles impossible to pass, etc.

All these have prompted the Japanese army to continuously strengthen the efforts to sweep the GM Party base areas and guerrilla troops behind enemy lines. Especially: every time they cooperate with the regular war on the front battlefield, it will lead to retaliatory cruel sweeps by the Japanese army.

The more cooperation with the front battlefield, the more sweeps will be caused. Every cooperation means the reduction of the base area. This phenomenon not only occurs when the GM Party - the GC* Party troops launched the Hundred Regiments War, but also caused the same result.

Secondly: The guerrilla tactics of the National Army are incorrect. To put it bluntly, they are actually using the method of fighting regular warfare to fight guerrilla warfare.

Because of the excessive emphasis on cooperation with the frontal battlefield, the National Army has often unconsciously changed guerrilla warfare into corps battles.

When the Japanese army swept the base, they often fought for in-depth land like a frontal battlefield. As a result, they often suffered heavy losses.

For example, the Zhongtiao Mountain base opened by Wei Lihuang, with high ditches and deep trenches, and large-scale defensive fortifications have actually lost the maneuverability and flexibility of guerrilla warfare.

The consequence of guerrilla warfare becoming a positional warfare was that the fortifications were captured by the Japanese army, the base troops suffered serious losses, and the Zhongtiaoshan base was completely lost.

In comparison, the gc* party forces have much more flexible strategies behind enemy lines.

They often use the methods of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields and strategically transferring the situation to avoid the Japanese army's edge, and rarely adopt the practice of sticking to the base.

The guiding ideology of its combat is to preserve the strength of the troops as much as possible, rather than to preserve the territory.

In other words, we strictly implement the so-called "sixteen-character" policy: "If the enemy advances, we will retreat, if the enemy stands and disturbs us, we will attack us, if the enemy is tired, we will fight, if the enemy retreats, we will chase us."

The Japanese army obviously did not have many solutions to this strategy, because the Japanese army's sweep was obviously temporary and could not last long, and it was even more impossible for the Japanese army to send troops to establish a solid ruling order in remote rural areas.

It is precisely because the losses of the troops were minimized that whenever the Japanese army retreated, the guerrilla forces of the gc* party always had enough strength to make a comeback.
