Chapter 41: Agitation

The few people who came from the guerrillas quickly cleared out the trophies they could take away, except for some usable weapons and ammunition, Zhuo Fei asked them to take away the steel helmets of the Japanese soldiers. "Don't underestimate the steel helmet, this thing can effectively imitate the fragments of the explosion and hit you directly in the head, and when necessary, it can also be used as a rice cooker and a water container." Seeing that the guerrillas were still reluctant to bring these steel helmets, Zhuo Fei explained to them the use of steel helmets, but even so, more than a dozen steel helmets were left in the ruins of the turret.

After chatting with the guerrillas, Zhuo Fei learned that the guerrillas were not very kind to the utensils worn by the Japanese. Zhuo Fei wanted to let the guerrillas know the importance of steel helmets on the battlefield, but unfortunately his efforts were not successful, and in the end, a large number of Japanese steel helmets were left in the ruins of the turret. "Why do you have to completely destroy the remaining wreckage of the turret?" Jin Yingji didn't understand why Zhuo Fei finally used explosives to completely bulldoze the wreckage of the two turrets, in her opinion, Zhuo Fei was simply wasting explosives and time in vain.

"Certainly not a waste of explosives." Zhuo Fei squinted at Jin Yingji like he was looking at an idiot, "On the battlefield, the use of strategy is the key to determining the outcome of the battle, I don't want the Japanese army to know that I am coming, so I must clean up this place thoroughly." Erasing all traces of my presence here is essential for the next action, I say, can you understand? ”

Zhuo Fei's answer was obviously not understood by Jin Yingji, but nodded vaguely, and Jin Yingji decided not to think about it first. Kim Ying-hee paid attention to those guerrillas, and secretly compared these guerrillas with the members of the patriotic regiment she was familiar with, and Jin Ying-hee felt that these guerrillas found by Zhuo Fei looked like that. The members of this guerrilla force in Suning County are all local people organized by the underground party of the Communist Party of China, and except for the captain and their political commissars, the other members are a little stronger than ordinary people.

Jin Yingji naturally didn't know these inside stories, she had already regarded Zhuo Fei and the others as the elite of the national government, and the elite subordinates should also be elites, but what she was looking at now was a group of guys who looked like civilians. Jin Yingji's every move was actually in Zhuo Fei's sight, and the change in Jin Yingji's eyes did not escape Zhuo Fei's sight, but Zhuo Fei didn't explain anything to Jin Yingji, he just asked Zhuo Yan to keep an eye on this North Korean woman, but he continued to whisper to the guerrilla leader.

According to Zhuo Fei's original plan, after joining forces with the local guerrillas here to eliminate the stronghold of the Twin Towers, his next target should be the Japanese puppet army in Suning County. But now there is one more Jin Yingji, and out of his own bad taste, Zhuo Fei decided to change his plan temporarily. "Captain Zhao, the stronghold of the Twin Towers has been eliminated, and next, the Japanese puppet army in Suning County may carry out a series of sweeping and clearing operations. Personally, I think you should move right now, first avoid the actions of the Japanese puppet army in Suning County, and then wait for the opportunity to attack at the right time. ”

Zhao Shanhu was originally a squad leader in the Eighth Route Army, but because he was injured, he was transferred to Ruili for guerrilla training, and was transferred to the enemy-occupied area as the captain of a guerrilla team. Zhao Shanhu was eager to fight face-to-face with the Japanese army like he had in the old army, and Zhuo Fei's arrival made Zhao Shanhu see hope, but what he didn't expect was that Zhuo Fei was just going to leave here after helping to finish off the stronghold of the Twin Towers.

"Mr. Zhuo, I am looking forward to the stars and the moon here, and I originally wanted to follow you to turn this Suning County upside down, but I didn't want to avoid the little devils. Mr. Zhuo, you tell me the truth, can we do this guerrilla warfare? You can't always do some like cutting phone lines and destroying highways, and you should have a few real fights with the little devils. Zhao Shanhu's voice was obviously resentful, and Zhuo Fei, who listened to it, couldn't help laughing.

"Captain Zhao, you can't think so, as far as I know, your chairman has long commented on guerrilla warfare. When there is no equivalence between the enemy's forces and ours in enemy-occupied areas, guerrilla warfare is the best means of draining the enemy's vital forces and buying time for himself. Those of you who are in enemy-occupied territory may feel less valued than those who are on the front line, but in reality, you have a heavier responsibility than the soldiers on the front. ”

Zhuo Fei stopped talking slightly, took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhao Shanhu, and after the other party lit the cigarette and calmed down a little, Zhuo Fei continued, "Captain Zhao, to put it simply, what fights in the war is not the number of troops, but the smooth and timely supply of follow-up materials. After the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army and we have formed a state of confrontation, because we are not able to resist the opponent's attack, and the Japanese army is to accumulate the materials and troops needed for the next wave of attacks. ”

"Once a confrontation is formed, the battle on the front line will drag on for an infinite time, and the command will send you into the enemy-occupied area at this time in order to use guerrilla tactics behind enemy lines, mainly with small groups of guerrillas, to seek opportunities to attack and disrupt the Japanese army's logistical supply lines. Don't underestimate guerrillas like you, don't look at the guerrillas' low combat effectiveness, but the guerrillas are familiar with the local terrain and conditions. As long as you put into practice what you have learned from the training camp, I believe that it will not be a problem to gain a foothold in the local area, and as long as you can take root in the local area, you will be nailing an extra thorn in the body of the Japanese army. ”

"If there are fewer thorns on your body, it will not cause any damage to the body itself, but if there are too many such thorns, the Japanese army will not be able to ignore you. The essence of the guerrillas is to contain as many Japanese troops as possible while harassing the Japanese army, so as to win time for the troops on the front line to rest and breathe. Captain Zhao, I have explained it so clearly to you, do you still think that the guerrillas are a place where nothing can be done? ”

Zhuo Fei's careful explanation made Zhao Shanhu very embarrassed, in fact, what Zhuo Fei said just now, as early as the training camp, the instructors had said it, but Zhao Shanhu hadn't paid attention to these things at all. "Captain Zhao, these weapons and ammunition seized from the Twin Towers stronghold this time are enough for your guerrillas to expand their strength. If you will listen to me, then immediately increase the number of troops when you return, and when the New Year comes, the task of your guerrillas may become even heavier. ”

I really couldn't bear to look at a guy like Zhao Shanhu who was aggrieved like a little daughter-in-law, and when he was leaving, Zhuo Fei couldn't help but finally say a word to Zhao Shanhu. Zhuo Fei went north this time, firstly, to prepare to leave a deep impression on the Japanese army in Shijiazhuang, and on the other hand, to review the combat effectiveness and execution of these guerrillas. If most of the guerrillas infiltrating the enemy-occupied area were able to gain a foothold, Zhuo Fei was ready to integrate these guerrillas to carry out a series of attacks and harassment operations against the Japanese army in Hebei.

"Why do we have to go to Shijiazhuang? Didn't those people just now want you to stay and lead them in battle against the Japanese troops nearby? There was no longer a figure of Zhao Shanhu and others saying goodbye, Jin Yingji saw that Zhuo Fei seemed a little sullen, so she asked.

"There is naturally a reason to go to Shijiazhuang to go to Shijiazhuang, I can't tell you too much detail now, you just need to remember to watch and learn with your heart, don't forget, this is the three chapters of the law before we leave Tianjin." Zhuo Fei's answer was not what Jin Yingji wanted, but she could only pout her lips but didn't dare to mention the topic just now, for fear that Zhuo Fei would mention the three chapters of the covenant again.

"Miss Jin, you know, why did I bring you to Shijiazhuang. Although you Korean Patriotic Corps have carried out many assassinations against Japanese soldiers, in my opinion, an organization that can only carry out assassinations or assassinations is not a qualified military force. If your Korean Patriotic Regiment is committed to restoring the country, then you should form your own military force, and it is good to be a guerrilla force. ”

Zhuo Fei's words made Kim Young-hee's eyes light up, yes, although the Korean Patriotic League is the best among the many resistance organizations in North Korea, but in general, the Korean Patriotic League mostly does assassinations and the like, although it causes some damage to the Japanese army to a certain extent, but in essence, it does not help the Korean restoration movement. However, if there is a military armed force in North Korea that truly belongs to the Korean Patriotic Corps, at least it will give a new direction to those who are now idle in the Korean Patriotic Corps, and they will also be able to carry out face-to-face strikes against the Japanese troops in North Korea.

"Don't look at it as just a small guerrilla, if the guerrilla is developed well, it may not be able to be upgraded to a real army, which belongs to your own army of the Korean Patriotic League. Miss Kim, think about what a real army means to you Koreans in exile. Zhuo Fei didn't say it too carefully, in his careful observation, this Jin Yingji is not a good-looking woman, as long as he points the words in place, the other party should be able to understand what he means.

Jin Yingji was already deep in thought at this time, Zhuo Fei was right, what an army in the real sense means, Jin Yingji could not understand it very well. But the joy on Kim Young-hee's face disappeared in an instant, and her voice was slightly lonely when she spoke, "It's a pity that we don't have the ability to form an army yet, and our Korean Patriotic Corps has been facing the difficulty of tight funds, not to mention the formation of an army, and even our usual activities have been restricted by funds." ”

"That's why I decided to take you to Shijiazhuang for a trip, not all the funds have to rely on fundraising, and seizing from the enemy is also a way. Moreover, it does not require too much money to form a guerrilla army, what the guerrillas need is weapons and equipment and qualified soldiers who are familiar with the local terrain, and I think these should not be the main problems that bother you, right? Zhuo Fei's answer was simple and straightforward, making Jin Yingji immediately roll her eyes at him.
