At the end of December 40, under the influence of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the frequency of the Japanese army's sweeps in North China was almost unprecedented.

Statistics show that in just one year in the future, the scale of the Japanese army's sweeps in North China will reach more than 1,000 people, as many as 69 times, and if you add all the large and small sweeps together, there will be several hundred times.

And the strategic guidelines formulated by the Eighth Route Army, there is nothing else, just one word, drag.

Drag it until the little devils are exhausted, drag it until the follow-up troops of the little devils are insufficient, drag it until the little devils are short of supplies, and then it is difficult to launch a large-scale sweep.

When the enemy advances, I retreat, and when the enemy is tired, I fight.

That's the essence.

Unfortunately, this is still the end of the 40s, if you compare the Japanese army four years later to a paper tiger, the Japanese army in this period is not a sick cat, on the contrary, their desire to win, and the desire to fight are very strong.

Just as on the second day of the destruction of the Nohara team, the Pingchi squadron set off from Heyuan County.

In just two days, for an army, it was a time to take a breath, and a new crisis once again hung over the entire Calf Village.

Han Feng had expected this, he knew the cruelty of reality, and he always liked to plan for the worst, long before the departure of the Pingchi squadron, as soon as the battle to destroy the Nohara squad ended, he found the village chief of Niu.

At this time, the villagers of Xiaoniu Village had just returned, and witnessed the bravery of the soldiers of the New Third Regiment, and nearly 70 devils were all wiped out.

Village Chief Niu sighed with emotion, "Head Han, our village, has been ruined by little devils, now that you are here, we are much more relieved, these little devils, damn it, you fought a good battle!" ”

Village Chief Niu laughed, but Han Feng didn't laugh along, his expression was very solemn, "Old Village Chief, I'm afraid it's not time to be happy now, there is one thing I have to explain to you clearly." ”

Village Chief Niu was stunned: "Head Han, you say." ”

"In this battle, we eliminated a Japanese reinforcement squad, nearly 70 people, the little devils must have passed the news back, according to my estimates, it won't be long, as short as a day, as long as four or five days, more devils are afraid that they will come to Xiaoniu Village.

Sorry, our exposure may be affecting Maverick Village. ”

The original smile on the face of the village chief Niu came to an abrupt end, he was an insightful old man who knew the seriousness of the situation described by Han Feng.

"Captain Han, old man, I'm not a fool, the little devil is here for our Little Cow Village, and you are fighting the devil to protect the village...... I know the power of the little devils, the situation of your team, Commissar Xu didn't hide it from me a few days ago, and told me honestly, most of them are still recruit dolls, if there are many little devils, you can't fight this battle at all.

In this way, Head Han, the villagers of Xiaoniu Village are not ungrateful and grateful, if there are more people coming next time, you will retreat! ”

Han Feng was stunned, but Village Chief Niu said resolutely: "If the devil runs into you, he will definitely not let you go, but we are different, we are just ordinary people, and the little devil will rob our grain and livestock at most, and he should not want our lives." ”

Han Feng smiled bitterly: "Old village chief, you don't know the situation, after so many years of fighting the Anti-Japanese War, the little devil can't bear it anymore.

Now they don't have the extra troops to occupy and manage the villages outside the county seat, and now in this part of North China, in the remote areas outside the county seat, the little devils will burn and kill all the villages when they see them, and they will not even let go of the old people and children, if the little devils enter the Little Cow Village, let alone people, even the entire village will be burned down by them. ”

Village Chief Niu turned pale with fright, fell to the ground in a dejected manner, and muttered in his mouth: "It's over, it's all over, what should I do now?" ”

Han Feng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Old village chief, look at your worries, did I say that we were going to evacuate?" What is our Eighth Route Army? We are the people's army, the people's soldiers, if we can't even protect the people, we will have no face when we live.

Don't worry, don't say it's the devil who came more people, he just came 2,000 people, and if he wants to hurt the villagers, he can't step on our 400 corpses. ”

Han Feng helped Village Chief Niu up from the ground, and Village Chief Niu said gratefully: "Head Han, thank you very much!" ”

Han Feng said: "Village chief, it's all right, but I came to you this time because I had something to tell you clearly."

As you know, our area is all plains, and the little devils are far better equipped than us, and we suffer a lot to fight on such terrain.

Therefore, if the devil comes again, I can only choose the location of the battle in Xiaoniu Village, or even based on Xiaoniu Village, stretching the battle line and dragging the Japanese army to fight.

And in this case, the villagers' houses may be destroyed a lot, the old village chief, you have to make it clear to the villagers, and take everyone to evacuate early. ”

Village Chief Niu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "What's this, people are dying and begging, and it doesn't matter what his house does, Captain Han, you just let go of the beating with your hands and feet, and when all the little devils are eliminated, let's build a new house." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for the old village chief's words!"

After sending off the old village chief, Han Feng immediately convened a hypothetical military meeting.

At the beginning of the meeting, Han Feng took the lead and said: "Yesterday, the county magistrate He in the county town secretly sent someone to send information, and there is now a Japanese army brigade stationed in Heyuan County, and the captain is called Kosaki.

This Heyuan county is the closest to us, and if the Japanese army comes to sweep Xiaoniu Village this time, most of them will send troops from Heyuan County.

As for how many people there are, a brigade is obviously unlikely, Heyuan County also needs people to be stationed, and the number of fighters we exposed this time is small, and the little devil should not be able to kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife.

Then the number of Japanese troops is easy to judge, it should be between two squads and one squadron, and the number is estimated at about 200 people.

Let's talk about it, once this battle breaks out, with the strength of a squadron of the Japanese army, how should we fight? ”

This is the old rule of the new third regiment, although the final military order is directly issued by the regiment commander Han Feng, but the analysis process is participated by all cadres.

Regiment commander Han Feng once gave this military command method a name, called "brainstorming", brainstorming, gathering the wisdom of all people, even if you say a word to me, you can always revise the final command to the most perfect point.

It's just that at this moment, the situation seems to be a little beyond Han Feng's expectations.

After his opening remarks, he waited for the cadres to put forward their opinions! As a result, the entire conference room was quiet, and no one spoke, and they all looked at Han Feng expectantly.

Han Feng was stunned: "What are you looking at me for?" I ask you! You've got an idea! ”

The monk touched his head and said with a strange smile: "Anyway, I listen to the third brother." ”

Duan Peng said: "Yes, I also listen to the head of the group." ”

Everyone else seemed to mean the same thing, Xu Zilin said with a smile: "Old Han, don't sell Guanzi, we all know that you already have an idea in your heart."

In everyone's words, with your regiment commander Elder Han Zai, it is completely worthy of a staff department, and the work of the military chief and staff officers is all done by you.

We'll just wait for you to give the order, and then carry it out. ”

The cadres nodded in agreement.

Han Feng: ......

He couldn't help but scold: "Fart, you are preparing to be absent from work, you are going to tire Lao Tzu to death!"

Now it's all of you who are fighting with me, but I didn't let you all listen to me, you can have your own thoughts and ideas! It doesn't matter if it's good or bad.

You can't just wait for me to give orders all your life, can you? Now that I'm the head of the regiment, it's okay for you to follow me one by one.

After that, you will become the battalion commander, regiment commander, and even brigade commander one by one, and then the whole regiment and the whole brigade will be waiting for you to make up your mind!

What do you do?

Hey, brothers, wait, wait until I call the old head and ask him what he means before deciding?

You're going to laugh to death!

Want to be lazy? There are no doors, this time Lao Tzu has to sharpen you.

I'll tell you how to fight in general, but as for how to fight and how to deploy and divide labor, you can do it yourself! ”

Han Feng has decided to pick a child, this group of guys, if he doesn't pick a child again, how can he rest assured that he will hand over the team to these brothers in the future and let them take charge alone?

At the same time, he realized that a truly clever military commander should not take care of everything, but on the contrary, after deciding on the general policy, he should leave more opportunities for his subordinates to play their roles.

In this way, an army of iron tigers and wolves can be gradually formed!
