The 54th Regiment of the 17th Division of the West Route Army on the West Line of Zhongtiao Mountain held a meeting of officers above the company level and made a verdict on the 11 traitors and secret investigators who were arrested:

On this occasion, the five first offenders who betrayed the intelligence of the Third Column of Death to the Japanese Army, as well as those who committed crimes by defecting to the devils, were sentenced to death and immediately executed.

In order to rectify military discipline, the officers of the regiment, battalion, and company who attended the meeting finally reached an agreement with tears in their eyes and sentenced them to death for immediate execution.

When Platoon Commander Qiao heard Deputy Battalion Commander Huang Jianuo read out the verdict, he cried and begged bitterly: "Deputy Battalion Commander Huang, can I die on the battlefield if I die?" If you can't agree, please take me to see the group, please. ”

Lei Yunfeng appeared in front of Platoon Commander Qiao, and said with a cold attitude: "Platoon Commander Qiao, everyone has sisters, what will you do when your sister and I are raped?" What should I do if a similar incident happens again to the whole regiment? ”

"Tuanza, I know it's wrong, it's me who deserves to die, I won't say anything, I just ask you to promise, don't be a corpse in the wilderness after I die, just bury it in the ground, I will be grateful to you."

"I promise you, brother, if you are reincarnated as a human again, you must tighten your belt, it is not worth losing your life for such a thing, remember your heroic performance on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, I will properly settle your aftermath, and go on the road with peace of mind."

Lei Yunfeng turned around sharply as he spoke, he couldn't bear to see this anti-Japanese hero die in this matter, and he staggered away with tears in his eyes.

Five traitors who defected to the Japanese army and betrayed their intelligence led to the death of the third column surrounded by the enemy, fought bravely and suffered heavy casualties, and the five leaders of the traitor secret investigation team who died heroically were escorted to the small square in front of the Wangjiamiao, and were sentenced to death after being pronounced.

Lei Yunfeng tearfully ordered Huang Jianuo to take Qiao Platoon Commander to the grave slope to send him on the road, and made arrangements for the regiment's political training office to report the death of Qiao Platoon Commander to his superiors.

The 54th Regiment was trained in the Wangjiazhuang area until the second day, and through propaganda and agitation work, the villagers in the four townships and eight villages saw that this team was strictly disciplined and did not commit any crimes against the people.

Lei Yunfeng looked at the more than 300 recruits who participated in the army, gave them a brief and clear lecture, and encouraged the recruits to strengthen their military skills and be ready to go to the front line to kill devils at any time.

Han Nina, director of the Communications Office, received a telegram from Commander Wei of the Western Route Army and immediately reported to Lei Yunfeng.

Commander Wei ordered the 54th Regiment to march forcefully, quickly advance to Qinshui through Dongwuling, and suddenly attack the rear of the large Japanese army attacking Yongji City, contain the enemy's forces, and cooperate with the Western Route Army to block the large-scale Japanese attack.

Lei Yunfeng held a meeting of cadres above the battalion level and clearly pointed out: The 54th Regiment fought bravely against the Japanese army in the first line of defense of Yongji City, repelled 14 frantic attacks by the Japanese army, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, suffered great attrition, and their weapons and equipment were very rudimentary.

After the end of the Dongwuling Campaign, the troops underwent a short period of hard training east of Dongwuling, and the military quality of the battalions, companies, and platoons was enhanced.

In order to relieve the Japanese army from the three columns of decisive death surrounded in Wangjiazhuang, the 54th Regiment set up ambushes in different places to attack the enemy's reinforcements, and after a night of fierce fighting in close cooperation with the three columns of decisive death, most of Kato's squadron was eliminated and the reinforced Yamazaki squadron was defeated.

After the battle of Wangjiazhuang ended, the troops carried out propaganda and agitation work in several villages, which inspired enthusiastic young people to actively join the army, and at present there are more than 1,200 soldiers in the 54th Regiment, of which more than half are recruits.

Commander Wei of the Zhongtiao Mountain West Route Army ordered the 54th Regiment to immediately go to the Qinshui line to contain the Japanese troops attacking Yongji City, and cooperate with the Western Route Army to block the Japanese army's frantic attack.

In accordance with the current combat quality of each battalion and company of the 54th Regiment, as well as the planned follow-up development of the troops, and in accordance with the guerrilla warfare methods of the Eighth Route Army, each battalion was ordered to set up armed plainclothes teams, which were composed of backbone personnel with superb combat ability selected by the whole battalion.

Each armed plainclothes squad has three squads, one principal and one deputy squad leader, and each squad has a capacity of 12 people.

The main task is to follow the movement of the large army, take charge of attacking and harassing the rear of the Japanese army, spy on the intelligence of the Japanese army, flexibly and flexibly sabotage the Japanese army's roads, railways and waterway communications, and eradicate the most heinous traitors.

Armed plainclothes squads had to go out day and night in advance before and after the movement of large troops, so as to ensure that they came and went without a trace, so as to deter the Japanese commanders and traitors and traitors from being terrified and panicked all day long.

Lei Yunfeng emphatically pointed out that the armed plainclothes teams that were about to be set up by each battalion mainly took individual actions, like a sharp knife inserted into the enemy's heart at any time, and once they encountered a large Japanese army, they would immediately launch a sneak attack to destroy the enemy's vital forces.

If you are pursued by the enemy when you withdraw from the battlefield, you must be mobile and flexible to break into pieces, fight separately, assemble at the agreed place immediately out of danger, and look for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the enemy.

Lei Yunfeng warned the battalion commanders that the armed plainclothes team was not a death squad, let alone a rescue team, but a small unit with great flexibility in combat.

This small unit of sharp knives should belong to the elite unit that regularly breaks away from the team to carry out tasks alone, and can report to the battalion commander once in three or five or even ten days.

The regimental, battalion, and company commanders who attended the meeting listened to what Lei Yunfeng said very novelly, and they listened attentively one by one.

In order for the 54th Regiment to comprehend the essence of the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army in the future battles with the enemy, Lei Yunfeng quoted the words of a leader of the Eighth Route Army and continued to explain:

We should learn that there are two kinds of guerrilla warfare in the Eighth Route Army, one is to set up an ambush in advance, that is, to wait for an ambush, and the other is to lure the enemy into an ambush.

Setting up an ambush in advance means waiting for an ambush, that is, according to obtaining accurate information about the enemy's movements, setting up an ambush in advance in a dangerous place where the enemy passes or a place conducive to concealing an ambush, and waiting until the enemy enters the ambush circle to strike at the enemy with lightning speed.

When the enemy's marching route or the main target of the enemy's attack is discovered, a small force is sent in advance to lure the enemy into the ambush circle, and suddenly inflict a heavy blow on the enemy and destroy the enemy's living force.

Sun Tzu said: The good defender hides under the nine heavens, and the good attacker moves above the nine heavens.

Under this nine days, the ambush must be absolutely hidden, and it cannot be discovered by the enemy, but will be calculated by the enemy, and the ambush will be turned into a breakthrough battle.

The Eighth Route Army has fought guerrilla warfare for more than ten years, and its essence has been summed up in four slogans: First, the enemy advances and we retreat -- preserving strength and turning into an offensive at a standby; The second is that the enemy retreats and we advance - to hit its morale and accumulate small victories into big victories;

The third is that the enemy is stationed in us to harass us - to exhaust the enemy and create a situation favorable to us; Fourth, the enemy is tired and we fight—that is, the enemy is tired and concentrates his forces to take the initiative to attack in order to annihilate the enemy.

Lei Yunfeng was on a whim, and what he said below was caught and asked.
