The War of Resistance

"Fighting is actually like doing math problems." Chu Tian was talking to Chen Hanwen in a forest on a high hill beside the highway.

"What do you mean?" Chen Hanwen couldn't figure out how fighting was mixed up with doing math problems.

"You see, there must be a goal before fighting, which is like solving a math problem.

Then it is divided into known conditions and unknown conditions. How to solve this problem well through known conditions is the process of deploying troops and fighting through known conditions.

Sometimes the conditions for fighting are not yet available, which belongs to unknown conditions. We need to solve unknown conditions through known conditions and make unknown conditions known conditions." It was really difficult for Chu Tian.

He, a great scholar, talked about fighting in a very eloquent way, and Chen Hanwen, a half-scholar, was confused.

To be honest, solving math problems is not Chen Hanwen's strong point. The reason why Chen Hanwen is called a half-scholar is that he is good at showing off his knowledge.

Chen Hanwen turned his head and looked at Gu Bing, an old soldier beside him, because he was lonely, and said: "Do you understand?"

"A little bit." Gu Bing replied.

"What do you know?" Chu Tian and Chen Hanwen asked at the same time.

"I know addition and subtraction within 10, but I can't do it after 10, so I know a little bit, just a little bit." Gu Bing pretended to be very honest and answered, and stretched out his fingers and pinched them.

Chu Tian and Chen Hanwen were stunned at first and then laughed, and the funny Gu Bing and Hou Kanshan who had been sitting next to him without interrupting also laughed.

The daughter-in-law of a thousand years finally became a mother-in-law.

With Shang Zhen's recommendation, Qiu Bo was transferred to the division headquarters as the guard company commander, and Chu Tian was promoted to company commander by Shang Zhen.

After all, he was the head of a company, and no old soldier dared to make fun of Chu Tian for his literary speech. In Chu Tian's view, this might be the only benefit of him becoming a company commander.

After the four people laughed, Hou Kanshan lit a cigarette and smoked it, and he couldn't help sighing as he looked at the misty smoke.

"Why are you sighing?" Chen Hanwen asked.

"There are fewer and fewer old people." Hou Kanshan still sighed, "Sometimes when I smoke, I look at the smoke floating up to the sky, and I feel that in the smoke, our old people are like a revolving lantern, one comes and one goes, one comes and one goes, alas."

Hou Kanshan's words made the three people silent. After a while, Chu Tian said: "Don't mention these unhappy things."

"But where are there happy things?" Hou Kanshan asked back.

"Then let me tell you a happy story." Gu Bing said.

"Then you tell it." Chu Tian said.

Gu Bing said: "An old fly and a little fly were eating shit in the toilet. The little fly said to the old fly, why do we always eat this?

The old fly said to the little fly, you unlucky child, don't say such disgusting things when eating."

After Gu Bing finished speaking, he laughed first.

He just smiled and looked at the three people again. Although Chu Tian and Chen Hanwen also laughed, the laughter was weak and helpless.

As for Hou Kanshan, no one knew whether he laughed or not. His smile was uglier than crying!

After grinning a few times, Chen Hanwen felt that this polite smile was too boring. After all, he said, "It's not funny at all." Then he stood up.

When he stood up, he suddenly said, "Someone is coming! See if our scouts are back."

When the three people heard what Chen Hanwen said, they all stood up and looked at the road through the gaps in the trees. Chu Tian also raised the telescope and observed for a while. He said, "It's Dan Fei who is back. Notify our people to stay awake."

Chu Tian's company was ordered by Shang Zhen to guard the periphery of Shuiquan Town to delay the attack of the Japanese army.

Originally, the two companies were also connected with them, but Shang Zhen transferred the two companies away in order to avenge Ma Erhuzi.

Because the incident happened suddenly, Shang Zhen did not give Chu Tian a specific order.

But Chu Tian couldn't help thinking about it. He was naturally worried that the Japanese army would attack in large numbers and their battalion would be defenseless, so he simply sent out two groups of soldiers to investigate farther away.

The news brought back by the first group of reconnaissance soldiers was that a large group of Japanese troops were really heading towards Shuiquan Town.

Whether it was for food or to avenge Ma Erhuzi, Chu Tian couldn't let a large group of Japanese troops rush to Shuiquan Town, so he began to look for a blocking location along the road.

The troops were not as many as the enemy, and the firepower was not as strong as the enemy. If they couldn't find a good blocking terrain, how could they fight?

Moreover, after fighting with the Japanese army, they had to retreat in time. Fighting the Japanese army to the death was never the fighting style of Shang Zhen's battalion!

But the ideal blocking position was not so easy to find. This was not a mountainous area, a place for growing wheat, at most it was a hill with undulating hills.

Although the hilly area had undulating terrain, it was mostly open land, not to mention plains.

For the Chinese army, which was at a disadvantage, fighting was just the opposite. The more difficult the terrain, the more favorable it was for them to block and defeat the strong with the weak, and the more complex the terrain, the more favorable it was for them to run away after the battle.

Because there was no good terrain near Shuitian Town, Chu Tian simply led his company along the road in the direction of the Japanese army.

In this way, they are naturally getting farther and farther away from Shuiquan Town. The advantage is that once they have a war with the Japanese army, the Japanese army will not be able to reach Shuiquan Town so quickly. The disadvantage is that if they are entangled by the Japanese army, they will have no support!

If it were another army, they might be afraid, but Chu Tian and his men would not.

The reason is that they have long been accustomed to it!

Since Chu Tian followed Shang Zhen, he himself can't remember how many times he has been chased by the Japanese devils.

These veterans have very hard soles and have many experiences of escaping from pursuit.

If a company is too big to be chased by the Japanese army, then he can break his company into pieces.

This kind of fighting style undoubtedly requires soldiers in squads and platoons to have strong independent combat capabilities. It just so happens that the squad leaders of each company are all veterans. They uphold the tradition of Shang Zhen and his men. According to the Northeast dialect, they are all old pig kidneys!

And according to what Chu Tian said from Leng Xiaozhi, we are also a unit with faith.

We are different from the Central Army, other miscellaneous armies, and other parts of the Northeast Army.

When we gather together, we are like a fist. If we separate, everyone will become a spike, and we will always stab the devils to bleed. Surrendering or shrinking back is not the style of our battalion!

And now Chu Tian and his men stopped because he had found a suitable blocking location, so he let the soldiers rest.

"Although the Eighth Route Army guerrillas also shot at the Japanese devils, they were not good enough. After just a few shots, the Japanese devils sent a small team to chase them, but the large group of devils and the second devils were not blocked for long, and they came to our side again." Shan Fei, who went out for reconnaissance, reported.

"Can you tell me more about the strength of the devils?" Chu Tian said.

"There are more than 30 horse-drawn carriages, all of which are horse-drawn carts. I also saw that some of the carriages have rubber wheels. It is estimated that the devils are also rushing to rob food." Shan Fei continued.

Chu Tian frowned. The Japanese army was coming aggressively, so it was not easy to fight. Moreover, the Japanese and puppet troops ignored the harassment of the Eighth Route Army in front, which was a bit troublesome.

If his company had a battle with the Japanese army, the Japanese army would only send a small force to entangle with him. What if the big force went over?

"It's only five o'clock now, and there is still some time before dark." Chen Hanwen said with some concern.

"Dark?" Chen Hanwen's words reminded Chu Tian. He looked at the setting sun and felt that he had an idea.

Although there was still some time before dark, if he dragged the little devils until dark, the little devils would not be able to go to Shuiquan Town again after dark.
