The War of Resistance

The information Qian Chuan'er brought back is this.

The Japanese and puppet army brigade has begun to launch a grain collection crusade against the guerrilla areas of the Eighth Route Army and the 113th Division.

The Eighth Route Army still followed its usual style of attack and carried out various obstacles and delays against the Japanese and puppet troops to ensure that the people could smoothly receive food home.

The weapons of the Eighth Route Army are not as good as those of the 113th Division, but the Eighth Route Army can bring the essence of guerrilla warfare to the extreme.

After all, the Eighth Route Army is the ancestor of guerrilla warfare nowadays. In this regard, Shang Zhen and the others cannot compare!

why?

The Eighth Route Army has the unparalleled mass advantage of Shang Zhen and others.

Not only would the masses inform the Eighth Route Army, but some would even form a stretcher team to help rescue wounded soldiers and lead the way for the Japanese. They could even lead the Japanese in the wrong direction, and then lead them into the Eighth Route Army's ambush circle!

Qian Chuan'er heard that once the Eighth Route Army had to cross a river during a battle.

In order to ensure the marching speed of the Eighth Route Army, local people jumped into the cold river and used human piers as piers and door panels removed from each house as beams to build a temporary pontoon bridge, which ensured the smooth passage of the Eighth Route Army.

Second, the Eighth Route Army had rich experience in guerrilla warfare and used various methods to delay the advance of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Third, because the Eighth Route Army fought guerrilla warfare and its weapons were not as good as those of the National Army, but it was able to develop and grow, what does that mean?

That can only mean that people think of more ways to fight ghosts and are not afraid of death.

To put it bluntly, the toughest combat environment creates the strongest troops!

Because of this, the Japanese and puppet army brigade did not move very fast.

However, the Japanese army was not stupid. Seeing that Mingming was walking too slowly, they formed an advance team, disguised as Chinese, and headed in the direction of the 113th Division.

According to Qian Chuan'er's analysis, the Japanese and puppet troops wanted to cooperate with their advancing team inside and outside.

According to the information obtained by Qian Chuan'er, this Japanese and puppet army was disguised as bandits. There were only seventy or eighty people in total. The weapons they carried were all light weapons. Box cannons, rifles, and light machine guns had to be Czech-style. .

Among these light weapons, there is no Type 92 heavy machine gun of the Japanese army, which Shang Zhen and others jokingly called pheasant eggs.

Because the Japanese Army's Type 92 heavy machine gun has a heat dissipation pipe on the barrel, it looks weird. It has a slow rate of fire but can fire in short bursts.

The guerrillas called this kind of heavy machine gun "Pheasant Neck", so these veterans from Shang Zhen Camp simply gave the machine gun the nickname "Pheasant Laying Eggs". A hen that lays eggs? It's always clicking there.

The Type 92 heavy machine gun was too bulky and required three or four people to carry it. It would not only reveal the identity of the Japanese army but also be conducive to covert marching.

After Qian Chuan'er introduced the enemy's situation, Shang Zhen's new combat idea was formed, which was to destroy the so-called advance team of the Japanese army, and then exchange the prisoners and weapons of the Japanese and puppet troops for food with the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army is growing day by day, and they now have no shortage of soldiers. The slogan put forward by people is to join the Eighth Route Army to protect their hometown and territory. When the people around them heard that the Eighth Route Army was recruiting troops, they all enthusiastically joined the army.

This situation is like a saying in later management science: What do you ask me to do and what do I want to do, can the enthusiasm be the same?

With more soldiers, the Eighth Route Army naturally lacks weapons. If Shang Zhen and the others trade guns and ammunition for food, what would the Eighth Route Army not want?

On the other hand, since they eliminated the Japanese advance team, they protected the common people.

Then we don’t rob your people of their food, and we protect you, and we don’t want any reward. Then we use cash to buy your people’s food. Can you always sell this to me?

Shang Zhen's move can also be called "curve to save the country"

Although Shang Zhen and the others have not seen the food yet, everyone thinks that Shang Zhen's idea is feasible. They also seem to have seen Zhao Tieying's ugly face when their battalion handed over the food to the division headquarters.

For a moment, everyone was full of hope. Chen Hanwen even said, "We are destined to move from one victory to another!"

But before the veterans could ridicule him after he finished speaking, Shang Zhen glared at him fiercely, because when he heard this sentence, it was not from the National Army, it was clearly from the Eighth Route Army. !

Now that a plan has been formed, Shang Zhen asked the cooking teams of each company to prepare dry food and horse carriages in preparation for the expedition.

Shang Zhen was also helpless. He had never thought that his battalion's guerrilla warfare would turn out like this.

The military discipline of his own battalion is good, but the military discipline of the entire 113th Division is not good, but it has brought trouble to them. Now when they go out for activities, it would be fine if they meet the common people they know, but if they meet the common people they don't know, When people hear their Northeastern accents, they really shun them like jackals and tigers and leopards!

For this reason, Shang Zhen's men even mentioned the original numbers of their battalions. We soldiers from the Northeast are different from other soldiers from the Northeast. They are really different! We are the original third battalion of the 583rd Regiment!

Common people have said so, yes! It was your 583 group that robbed something from someone’s house in our village.

Some people said, yes! It was you, the 583rd group, who harmed someone’s daughter!

The soldiers of Shang Zhen camp thought after hearing what others said. These common people must have only heard of the 583 regiment in front but not the third battalion behind them, so they specially emphasized that we are from the third battalion. We and other Camp is different!

But is it really different? Some people said, yes, they are from your third camp. Last time, the people from your third camp robbed my things and even beat me so hard that one of my big teeth flew out!

The people in Shang Zhenying were also confused at that time.

There are hundreds of people in one camp. Just because they have never beaten or scolded the common people does not mean that others in their camp have not harmed the common people!

They had no choice but to return and report to Shang Zhen.

But the battalion commander Shang Zhen is not sure when it comes to this kind of thing. What if one of his subordinates really harms or bullies the people? Who harms the people? He knows that his battalion is different from other troops. It’s expressly prohibited, so who can say anything?

So Shang Zhen asked Qian Chuan'er to check for me! If you find out, I'll kill him!

Shang Zhen is really angry about this matter, Ci can't control his troops!

Qian Chuan'er did indeed investigate, but after repeated investigations, no harm to the people was found in their camp.

But after some time, by chance, Qian Chuan figured out that there were really people from the third battalion of the 583rd Regiment who were harming the people. It was just that the third battalion was not the third battalion, but the 583rd Regiment. People from other camps are called people from the third camp!

When Qian Chuan'er learned the news, he could only report it to Shang Zhen.

Even though Shang Zhen has always been good-tempered, he was pissed off. Wouldn't this ruin the reputation of our camp? He wanted to go to Zhao Tieying to reason, but when he calmed down he found that it was useless!

Not to mention that the corruption of military discipline was tacitly approved by the superiors, but it was not tacitly approved by the superiors. Shang Zhen did not even bother Zhao Tieying!

Because their battalion has now come out of the 583rd Regiment and been renamed the direct battalion, then the third battalion of the 583rd Regiment only has a changed number.

His own battalion left, but Zhao Tieying could legitimately reorganize the third battalion of the 583 regiment. If someone did bad things outside, he would say that he was from the third battalion and there was nothing wrong with him!

And in this case, how can the common people distinguish between the old third battalion and the new directly affiliated battalion? This kind of thing is getting darker and darker, and there is no way to explain it!

Zhao Tieying’s move is so destructive!

As the saying goes, "A fire at the city gate affects the fish in the pond." Shang Zhen and his camp are now the "fish in the pond"!

And this is one of the reasons why Shang Zhen really doesn't want to stay in the Northeast Army anymore!

What did you say? Society is a big dye vat. If you want to be alone in this big dye vat, it is basically impossible!

Well, Shang Zhen took his people and divided them into several small troops, and set out the next day.

But Shang Zhen didn't know that as soon as they set off, Zhao Tieying got the news that Shang Zhen and the others were taking action.

"Our people will also follow. It doesn't need to be many. It will be good if we can 'help' them at the critical moment." Zhao Tieying said expressionlessly.
