Now that their squadron has more than 50 personnel, it finally looks like a company-level unit, and the devil's Huogou stronghold artillery tower has been uprooted, and they are afraid that the Eighth Road will destroy the Xinqing Highway, so they focus on the mountainous section of the Xinqing Highway, which has made their squadron's recent life a lot easier.

There is also a reason why Zhang Yunfei did not let Chen Youquan continue to expand the number of soldiers, because the troops need young and middle-aged people to march and fight, the newly formed district squad must also be young and strong, and the villagers must also be young and strong in farming, and the local personnel are limited, and recruiting more soldiers will not be able to bear the same huge pressure on the local government.

Zhang Yunfei has always believed that the development and growth of a unit does not require enough new recruits, and in addition to weapons and equipment, it is still necessary to have enough backbone cadres to lead the old with the new, so as to promote the real and rapid growth of the troops.

Expanding too blindly is not a good thing, as it will easily dilute the combat effectiveness of the troops and make the entire army a plate of scattered sand.

Chen Youquan is a local cadre, and he is a good hand at developing guerrillas, and Zhang Yunfei is most afraid that he will use the development of guerrillas to an independent squadron, as long as he is willing to participate in the Eighth Route, that will not work, and he does not want to end up this unit that he has built up with great difficulty into a unit with no combat effectiveness and can only pick up roads, railways, and fight black guns.

The independent squadron is stepping up development and training, and now their squadron can be described as strong and strong, and the biggest goal of their squadron is to remove the word independence in front of them and become a real squadron.

Of course, the devils are not without action, they have increased the blockade of the mountainous area where the Eighth Route Army is located, and the Japanese puppets have implemented strict material control in the control area, kerosene, salt, cloth, matches, medicines, and even paper and ink are strictly controlled.

If it weren't for Wang Zhengyi's leakage, they would have been even more sad under the strict control of the Japanese puppet army, but it was obviously not possible for them to rely entirely on Wang Zhengyi, a traitor, for their own material transportation, how could they hand over their lifeblood to others.

Besides, Wang Zhengyi, this guy is not really of the same mind as the Eighth Road, and he is also strictly controlling the amount of materials flowing into the Xinqing detachment, and he will not be really kind enough to let the Eighth Road manage it.

Although their squadron has taken the stronghold of the devils, there is no crisis of lack of supplies for the time being, but it is not a good habit to sit and eat empty, and they can't watch their brother units run out of food, and there is not even a little saltiness in the saltless dishes.

Zhang Yunfei is thinking about how to break through the enemy's blockade, breaking the blockade is a problem that the Eighth Road has always faced, and now that he is the chief officer, even if it is not so urgent, then he must take precautions.

High on the top of the mountain, Zhang Yunfei hugged his arms in front of his chest, looking at the scenery in the distance, thinking about how his squadron should develop in the future.

Some people with ulterior motives slander and spread rumors about their tactics, believing that they do not attack the enemy at all, this is pure nonsense, even Zhang Yunfei, who does not want to see casualties, thinks about who to fight all day long, and as for the militants like Qi Dajiu, they are even more screaming and wanting to attack the enemy.

The Eighth Route Army basically had no logistical supplies, and most of the various material supplies were snatched from the enemy, so how could it be possible to obtain materials without attacking the enemy, and how could it develop and grow.

They knew that there would be sacrifices in battle, but they had to fight, and if they didn't steal the enemy's supplies, it would be difficult for them to survive on their own.

When Zhang Yunfei was thinking about this, Cui Liangfang climbed up from the bottom of the mountain and came to him.

Zhang Yunfei looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Cui Liangfang said a little embarrassed: "It's okay, it's the squadron leader, I'm the ...... I just want to ask you how sure you were that there were only forty or fifty devils in Fudian Town in the last battle. ”

Zhang Yunfei said a little funny: "Just for this? ”

Cui Liangfang nodded.

Zhang Yunfei couldn't help laughing, in their squadron, among the five squad leaders (four rifle squads and one machine gun squad), he was more optimistic about Cui Liangfang after removing Li Da's cigarette pouch.

Cautious people like to think more, people who are diligent in thinking are not too stupid, they are good at summing up lessons and lessons, of course, this kind of people also have shortcomings, thinking too much and doubting, there are always troubles that cannot be solved, and it is easy to exhaust themselves to death, Zhuge Liang is a good example.

Cui Liangfang was very curious about Zhang Yunfei's ability to accurately judge the number of devils' troops, but because Zhang Yunfei was injured and hospitalized, no one had answered him, and he felt like a cat scratching when he couldn't get an answer.

Zhang Yunfei said eloquently: "In fact, this is determined by the devil's military system, although there are more than 100 devils in Fudian, but there is only one squad of fighters, and the rest of them are just logistics personnel, unless their own lives are threatened, they generally will not participate in the battle, and they will not participate in reinforcement missions at all." ”

"It's as simple as that?" Cui Liangfang's whole person was a little confused, he couldn't figure it out, and he imagined that he didn't know how many possibilities, so he almost mythologized his squadron leader into a character who could pinch and calculate, and the final answer was a bit ruined.

In the West, the combat forces are completely lost, and the logistics personnel can surrender directly, while in the East, the combat troops are lost, and the logistics personnel may take up arms to fight.

This refers to the premise that the combat unit has been wiped out, and under normal circumstances, logistics personnel will not be engaged in front-line combat.

Fudian is a military station, and its main job is material transfer, and most of the people stationed in it are baggage spies, which are considered logistics troops, and they have no obligation to participate in the battle.

Of course, in the East, there has never been a saying of surrendering without a fight, and they will also participate in the battle if they are in a hurry, but a reinforcement mission like that has nothing to do with them, so naturally they will not send troops with them.

"This is actually a problem of the devil's military system, they are not like us, they are divided into many arms, logistics soldiers only do logistics work, they will not participate in battles, you just think too much." Zhang Yunfei comforted.

As a commander, it's right to be cautious, but it's not a good thing to think too much, this is Cui Liangfang's shortcomings, Zhang Yunfei has always thought that Cui Liangfang, a commander who is good at defending but not attacking, can only give full play to his cautious character in defensive battles.

In the fast-paced offensive battle with frequent accidents, his caution is not a good phenomenon, so Zhang Yunfei matched him with Cui Jiacai, the deputy squad leader, and the two of them don't know if they can neutralize his cautious traits, after all, it is easy to delay the fighter if he is too cautious.

Cui Jiawang used to partner with him, one was timid, the other was cautious, and he was really not very outstanding in several battles, and only the environment of the last resistance battle was suitable for them, so there was a big bubble.
