The enemy is illegally rampant.

On the Chinese soldiers killed, a line of words was written on a note: "Killed by the Imperial Army's Sakurai Sentency." ”

Yang Chaoran urgently investigated and inspected all the scenes.

This time, the detachment's losses were really large.

All the cadres and fighters who inspected the scene cried and were all angry, vowing revenge.

Political Commissar Zhao Gang spoke in a sad tone, comforting and encouraging everyone.

Yang Chaoran immediately restored the formation of the Yucun Infantry Battalion and re-stationed a company here.

In the evening of the same day, he held a series of meetings, emphasizing various tactics, the garrison's vigilance and counter-offensive tactics, and making regulations and arrangements in terms of passwords, sentinel contacts, and so on.

Everyone has to do all kinds of training.

"Yes, it should be so, it's not too late for us to make amends. The reason why we have made such a big mistake is that we are complacent, we do not pay attention to the most basic training, and we do not establish a mature enough system. Political Commissar Zhao Gang said solemnly.

He also engaged in self-criticism, arguing that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as well.

Several battalion commanders, company commanders, also self-criticized.

Political Commissar Zhao Gang kept giving Yang Chaoran a look, meaning that he, as the supreme commander, must express his position, the troops have been greatly harmed, and he, as the military director, must take responsibility.

However, Yang Chaoran just didn't say anything, supported his chin with his hand, and fell into deep thought.

Political Commissar Zhao Gang couldn't bear it: "Comrade Detachment Leader, Comrade Yang Chaoran, it's your turn!" For such a major loss, each of us should find the root cause of the problem in ourselves and dig deep into the root cause in order to find the problem and summarize and improve. ”

Yang Chaoran didn't speak yet.

A battalion commander hurriedly stood up: "Political commissar, the problem of our detachment commander is not big, even small, because he went to a meeting and is not here." ”

Political Commissar Zhao Gang was angry: "There is no responsibility after the meeting? You are just talking about things, staying on the surface, not going deep into the substance. As a veteran soldier and a commander with excellent tactical ability, when he was leaving, he did not have enough reasonable arrangements, which was the reason for this heavy loss! Of course, losses in war are inevitable and inevitable, and our work will not be perfect, and mistakes will definitely occur, and what we need is to face up to our mistakes and correct them, rather than evading responsibility. ”

Yang Chaoran finally stood up: "Well, that's right, I accept the criticism of the political commissar, but, I want to ask everyone, what is our best error correction plan?" ”

Everyone started talking.

All the precautionary measures were taken out and commented on and discussed.

Everyone expressed their opinions and was very seriously engaged.

Yang Chaoran finally concluded: "Well, what everyone said is very reasonable, very good!" Very specific, very scientific, very comprehensive, very basic|! However, I think those, all of them are routine, and there is a fatal flaw, negativity! ”

Political Commissar Zhao Gang disagreed: "Detachment leader, why is this still negative?" Aren't we going to defend and picket the ability to defend and alert, but to attack? Isn't that right? We did not have enough conditions, according to the memories of the surviving fighters, the enemy used aircraft bombing, paratroopers parachuting, ground forces raid coordination, this three-dimensional combat raid, we can only defend, not counterattack, because we have no planes, no paratroopers! ”

Yang Chaoran smiled: "I'm talking about counterattack!" Fight back against the enemy's special war with special warfare! ”

Yang Chaoran asked the cadres of the army to return, strengthened night patrols, and discussed with Zhao Gang and a few others.

Suddenly, he froze for a moment.

Political Commissar Zhao Gang wondered: "What's wrong?" ”

Yang Chaoran pointed to the outside of the house: "Political commissar, listen, what is the voice?" ”

Political Commissar Zhao didn't need to listen, and said directly: "The devil's plane, what's wrong?" However, don't worry, this plane is far away from here, and there is a faint sound, in fact, it may be in the east to the airport of the new city, thirty or fifty miles, hundreds of miles, quiet at night, so that the sound of the devil plane spreads farther. ”

Yang Chaoran nodded: "The political commissar is a leading cadre with rich experience, I admire it." ”

Political Commissar Zhao Gang smiled: "Don't be a sycophant, you must reflect on your own problems today, as a military cadre of the Eighth Route Army, in the case of such a big setback, you have always refused to admit your own problems, and protected your willingness to criticize and self-criticize, which is very wrong, our cadres take responsibility, it is a political attitude, a sense of responsibility, a moral necessity, and a discipline requirement, otherwise how can we unite and mobilize everyone's enthusiasm?" How can research and summarization be further deepened? How can we really achieve the practical results of introspection? ”

Yang Chaoran nodded: "I agree!" The political commissar is right, I am guilty, I did not completely teach my tactical thinking and consciousness to the soldiers, but, political commissar, we are a new army, we can't eat a fat man in one bite, we can not pee our pants on the battlefield, rush forward, fight with the enemy is very good, it will take a long time to comprehensively improve tactical literacy, I think that the main reason for this failure is not the abolition of discipline, paralysis and carelessness, not ideological problems, not all skill problems, but special reasons. The enemy's special offensive, beyond the norm, we made some mistakes, it is normal! There is no need to demand full rebuke. ”

Political Commissar Zhao Gang was dissatisfied: "I don't agree!" ”

Yang Chaoran hurriedly stretched out his hand and made a stop gesture: "Shh, political commissar, I think this is a matter of tactical awareness, do you think, now, what is the most important issue we should discuss?" ”

Political Commissar Zhao Gang tapped the table with his fingers: "I think it is a philosophical proposition, modesty makes people progress, pride makes people backward, Comrade Yang Chaoran, after your victory, your thinking has indeed swelled, you have begun to be proud, and you can't listen to suggestions and criticism!" ”

Yang Chaoran stood up: "Wrong, political commissar, now, the most important question we should discuss is how to ambush the enemy!" ”

Political Commissar Zhao Gang raised his head: "Ambush the enemy? Where is the enemy? You don't get off the hook! ”

Yang Chaoran pointed to the night sky outside the window, "Political commissar, I estimate that I am eighty percent sure that tonight, the enemy will come here to sneak attack!" ”

On the side, several staff officers shook their heads: "Detachment leader, the enemy just came to sneak attack last night, and he still came to sneak attack a few days?" Are they so stupid? Don't you know that we will definitely learn a lesson and strengthen our preparedness? ”

Yang Chaoran said: "If it were me, I would definitely come back to sneak attack." Because, the techniques and tactics that can really prevent special attacks will take a long time to be trained and perfected in ordinary troops, and if the enemy comes to sneak attack, not many of our preventive measures can be effective! ”

Political Commissar Zhao Gang waved his hand: "Comrade detachment leader, don't deify the devil, strategically, we must despise the enemy, tactically attach importance to the enemy, you listen, the sound of the plane is still far away, and it will soon be far away, which shows that the enemy plane did not come, perhaps, the words of the detachment leader are right, the enemy is coming to attack tonight, but, now, and in the future, right?" Is this a harassment operation, or a confusion tactic? ”
