This is the helplessness, the current strength of the Eighth Road is not as good as others, and it can only be cut and compressed by the devils and the puppet army.

The cage policy has brought great trouble to the Eighth Road, farming and weaving, growing vegetables and raising pigs, does it feel very down-to-earth and close to the people.

This fucking is being forced by little devils, the blockade is getting stricter and stricter, and it won't make people feel better at all, and life in the base area will become more and more difficult, and they can only do it themselves and work hard to generate income.

Their three battalions were now compressed in the mountainous and hilly terrain northwest of Xincheng, and the three battalions had limited strength and could only make limited counterattacks against the Japanese puppet army's sweeping blockade, and finally had to hide in the mountains to rest.

The losses this time were huge, but their capture was equally abundant, and although the ambush convoy gained a lot, it was nothing compared to the Dale stronghold.

Although they were pressed for time, they only had time to grab the most important supplies such as food and ammunition, but the number of convoys was far more than the number of convoys.

The two of them seized more than 50,000 catties of grain and more than 2,000 catties of various ammunition, they didn't have to worry about supplies and ammunition for at least a long time, the Eighth Route Army has always been very economical, and these ammunition materials were enough for them to survive the sweep of the Japanese puppet army.

A total of 71 soldiers were killed and more than 60 wounded in the three battalions, and this number of casualties may increase over time in this era of lack of medical care.

The battalion suffered a quarter of the casualties at once, of which the Ninth Company suffered the greatest casualties, and only one-third of the entire company was intact.

The Ninth Company itself has a large number of recruits, but this time it has the heaviest task, and it has been fighting against the Japanese puppet army several times its own, so the casualties will be so high.

Zhang Yunfei felt deeply guilty about the heavy casualties of the Ninth Company, but if he was asked to choose again, he would also choose to do so, and he would not be in charge of the troops.

This seems to be very unfair to the Ninth Company, but this is the most favorable tactical layout, the war is so cruel, it is never fair.

After this battle, the puppet army was stranded in Zhujia Village, and the front line of Dale was adjusted, and no new actions were carried out for the time being.

Zhang Yunfei is still deeply worried about this, the devil's sweep has caused very serious damage to the base area, and seeing that winter is about to pass, spring is about to begin, and this kind of green and yellow days are the most difficult.

Moreover, this sweeping force is mainly composed of puppet troops, and for the people in the base area, their killing nature is much weaker, but their banditry is much stronger than that of devils, so they can rob everything.

This kind of behavior is not much better than a devil, without food and supplies, it is not much different from direct killing, in this year, starvation to death, freezing to death is not a rare thing.

These Japanese puppet troops don't know what they're doing, either you hurry into the mountains and sweep it, or you just retreat directly.

This can make Zhang Yunfei feel like Li Da cigarette pouch, squatting on the wall and smoking.

Now they have a total of two passages to the outside, one to go to Dale, the other to go Anshang, of course, you can also go over the mountains, to the south or to the north, but they are all mountain roads, over the mountains, pedestrians are difficult, and they can only be used as an emergency escape channel.

As a cultured person, Yang Junjie naturally couldn't learn from Zhang Yunfei, so he moved a tree stump and sat next to Zhang Yunfei and said, "What should we do now." ”

Yang Junjie has experienced a sweep in the agency before, he has never eaten pork and seen a pig run, and he knows what to do after the sweep, but the reality is different, and now is the sweep over?

This is completely different from the previous example, I have never seen such a half-baked sweep, this is not a reference for a novice like him, so he can only ask for help from Zhang Yunfei, a cadre with rich combat experience.

The political commissar talked to him, saying that although his partner was young, he was very good at military and political work, and had been fighting at the grassroots level, and he could discuss with him if he had any questions about local affairs.

For this situation, Zhang Yunfei is also the first time to encounter it, he is also a little confused, for the sweep, the enemy soldiers pressed the border, everyone began to transfer, waiting for the opportunity to give each other a moment, and when the enemy left, everyone went back to their own homes, what should they do, this is all a routine.

But now these Japanese puppet troops don't follow the usual path, they advance slowly, even if they are raided, and even Dale's stronghold is beaten down, they are still so unhurried, and they have an intermission, which is a bit excessive.

Zhang Yunfei pinched the cigarette butt, put it to his mouth and took a deep breath, threw away the cigarette butt, spit out a cloud of smoke, and then said leisurely: "Instructor, do you think the actions of this group of Japanese puppet soldiers have a sense of familiarity." ”

"Familiarity?" Yang Junjie was a little confused, it was the first time he had seen such a sweep by the Japanese puppet army, how could he have a sense of familiarity.

"Don't you think they resemble our guerrilla warfare methods."

"Guerrilla warfare, how is it possible." Although he is a political cadre, he is also a good member of the Eighth Route Army, so how can he not be familiar with guerrilla warfare, fooling a ghost.

"I mean the slow-motion kind."

"Slow motion?" He thought about it for a while before he literally understood what Zhang Yunfei wanted to express.

When he thought about it this way, he really had a little meaning: The guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army was to quickly gather superior forces and encircle and annihilate the enemy with superior forces.

And the current Japanese puppet army is slowly gathering troops, and it is encircled and suppressed step by step, which is really a bit of a slowing down of guerrilla warfare, of course, this is essentially not a thought.

What Zhang Yunfei wanted to express was that the Japanese puppet army would not really give up and continue to sweep, and they would continue to carry out the sweeper plan.

"Battalion Commander Zhang, do you mean that the Japanese puppet army will continue to sweep?"

"It shouldn't be wrong, the devil has gathered so many puppet troops, it's impossible to give up halfway, we have met an opponent, the purpose of this enemy's sweep is very clear, even if we can't be eliminated, we must be blocked in the mountains and can't get out."

"Then the focus of our next work is to carry out anti-sweeping work?"

"Yes, it is impossible for the Japanese puppet army to give up and continue the sweep because of this casualty." In their continuous combat this time, they defeated three puppet army companies, and they also fought with the Fenghe battalion, and their results were brilliant.

It is estimated that the casualties of the Japanese puppet army should be more than 400 people, although this casualty seems quite large, but for the total strength of the Japanese puppet army that attacked this time, they can still bear it.

So when their forces are readjusted and deployed, they should continue to sweep, besides, most of the casualties are puppet troops, and the devils don't care how many puppet troops they lose, and that thing won't appear in the devil's casualty statistics report.
