From the very beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Eighth Route Army had already firmly established the strategy of launching guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.

But in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, it is by no means that when the devil comes, the Eighth Route Army really runs away and doesn't care about anything - that's not the Eighth Route Army, that's the guerrillas!

Guerrilla warfare is a tactic and must not be confused with guerrillas.

The essence of guerrilla tactics lies in the fact that the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy retreats and we pursue, and the enemy is tired and we fight.

The guerrillas, on the other hand, were armed by local armies such as the county brigade and the armed engineering team under the leadership of the Eighth Route Army, and assisted the Eighth Route Army in combat.

The reason why the armed forces behind enemy lines, such as county brigades and armed engineering teams, are called guerrillas is because of their combat methods.

They usually operate in a certain area, and do not stick to one place, and do not have a fixed base as a rear.

Of course, with the composition of the partisans, the level of equipment, etc., it is impossible for them to have a stable rear.

Just like Sun Hongzhong's Lingjiang guerrillas, they should have been operating in the Lingjiang area.

However, now that the Japanese invaders are rampant in the Lingjiang area, they simply can't stay at all, so it is a reason to simply switch to the Qingping area to continue to launch armed activities and continue to persist in resisting Japan.

However, unlike the regular Eighth Route Army, their contingent is so large that it must need a solid rear as a base area.

This base area is their safe haven behind enemy lines, and it is the key for them to get supplies and rest, so there will definitely be the deepest mass base in this rear, and the common people will unconditionally support them and protect them.

At the same time, they also protect the people in the rear.

Complement one another.

If the devils attack the outer areas, the Eighth Route Army may sometimes make trade-offs, and the guerrillas may retreat and move because they are not overwhelmed.

Because of this situation, people often misunderstand, thinking that the guerrilla attack of the Eighth Route Army is that as soon as the little devils come, they will run away when they see that they can't be defeated, and they will not carry out a territorial defense operation at all.

But not so.

If the Japanese army attacked the core area of their base area, the Eighth Route Army would definitely defend the territory and fight!

Even if they know that the devil is powerful, they can't be the opponent of the devil at all!

Even if they want to transfer and retreat, they will definitely give priority to ensuring that the people in the base area are moved to a safe place, and then find a way to transfer and evacuate by themselves, otherwise, even if they are wiped out, they will have to continue to stubbornly resist until the people are safe!

Otherwise, once the devils have laid a base and the people who firmly support the Eighth Route Army have not yet evacuated, it is conceivable how the little devils will deal with those villagers who support the Eighth Route Army.

As soon as something happens, if you abandon the people who support you, then in the long run, will the people still support the Eighth Route Army?

Impossible, no one is stupid.

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army was able to establish a base area behind enemy lines, and relying on the support of the people in the base area, they fought unremittingly against the little devils for many years, until the moment of final victory, which was fought with the barrel of a gun and exchanged for blood!

It's definitely not that the little devil ran away as soon as he came, relying on a pair of big feet to run out.

Now, the Longyuan Mountain Area, where Liu Qing's troops are stationed, is the base of the Eighth Route Army here.

The Dongjiang River and Cangshui County, where the Jindong detachment led by Zhang Ran was stationed, were also such base areas.

At first, Pu Yuanzhong was still interested in riding a war horse and walking side by side with Zhang Ran, chatting with each other, but as he got closer to Dongjiang County, he became more silent.

After the situation of Yuanguang, he could already be sure that the mass work of the Jindong detachment here must have been done to the extreme, but he did not expect that the mass work of the Jindong detachment could be done to such an extent!

He could clearly feel that everyone in Dongjiang County he saw along the way existed as a part of the Jindong detachment and was an inseparable part!

This made Pu Yuanzhong can't help but compare the mass base situation in the areas where the regiments of the division headquarters are stationed.

Although the people in their base area are still supportive of them, it is definitely not up to the level of support that the people of Dongjiang County support the Jindong detachment - everyone in this county seems to be ready to live and die together with the Jindong detachment at any time!

Pu Yuanzhong can clearly feel this from the light in the eyes of those ordinary people!

This feeling was felt not only by Pu Yuanzhong, but also by Long Xin, Gu Xiangyang, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who came with them.

They couldn't help but look at Zhang Ran, and couldn't figure out how this guy did this in just half a year.

If they raised their own questions, Zhang Ran would probably tell them very forcefully that it was all because of their personality charm.

But Zhang Ran himself knows that it is not.

In addition to the propaganda of the Eighth Route Army policy, it is more because of interests.

Through chemical fertilizers, through various work, he tied the interests of the common people of the county and the detachment.

The people here are poor and afraid.

Now, through the detachment, they finally began to have a little bit of family background and began to see the hope of a good life.

At this time, no matter who wants to ruthlessly deprive them of the hope they have so hard to see, they are afraid that they will not be able to fight with anyone......

Therefore, although Zhang Ran prefers to explain it with patriotism, righteousness, and so on, he has to admit that compared with these vain things, the current relationship between the interests of the detachment and the common people in the two counties in the base area is obviously more solid.

As the old saying goes, only profit lasts forever!

Tie the ideals of the revolution, the fate of the family and the country, and the vital interests of the people, and at the same time let the people know that as long as the detachment does not die, it will always stand with them and share weal and woe!

This is the fundamental reason why the detachment can build the territory of the base area as solid as gold and water cannot be splashed!

Even one day in the future, the detachment was forced to withdraw from this side, and the common people had to submit humiliatingly to the rule of the Japanese army.

But as soon as the detachment comes back, then raise your arms and shout!

This land, when the time comes, will still be red with mountains and rivers!

Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Puyuan Zhonglong Xin Gu Xiangyang was thoughtful.

Zhang Ran's words are obviously far from the ideological realm of pure comrades as the organization says, and they are even shy to say it.

How can something as great as a revolutionary ideal be linked to interests?

"Just talking about ideals and not talking about interests is playing hooligan!" Zhang Ran laughed.

Although he is now a fake, it is an undeniable fact that he is in the same vein as a member of the system and the organizational philosophy after a few decades.

Organizationally, it is true that it has gone through the stage of only talking about ideals and not interests, but history has proved that this set is completely unworkable.

Therefore, in the end, the organization only proposed to the comrades within the organization to talk about dedication rather than enjoyment, and no longer shouted to everyone that as long as they are ideal, they don't want anything......

Talking about ideals is a matter of the organization, and the people are more concerned about whether their stomachs are full.

This is the biggest experience he has gained from several years of poverty alleviation work!

"Zhang Paopao, where did you hear this set of fallacies and heresies? Don't shut up yet! ”

Long Xin interrupted Zhang Ran's words with a pale face and scolded, she extremely didn't want Zhang Ran to continue, because she knew very well how much impact it would have on the organization if Zhang Ran's words were passed back.

Moreover, Zhang Ran's own pretense as the Eighth Route Army has not yet been resolved, and the consequences of making such gossipy remarks to confuse the public are unpredictable.

After finishing speaking, Long Xin regretted it a little, and found that he seemed to be too concerned about Zhang Ran's performance, and he was a little weak-hearted.

However, Gu Xiangyang listened to it with relish, and felt that what Zhang Ran said seemed to be very reasonable.

So listening to Long Xin's interruption of Zhang Ran's words, he was a little dissatisfied, but seeing Long Xin's nervous expression, he didn't open his mouth after all, but looked at Pu Yuanzhong.

Although he is at the bottom of the distance from politics, there are some things he has heard of more or less - politics, sometimes like the battlefield, is still bloody!

"Zhang Ranran, you have a lot of ideas!"

Pu Yuanzhong pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Sometimes, some words, not to say that you think it is right, you can say it, when the time is not right, what is right will become wrong - do you understand what I mean?" ”

Zhang Ran nodded, of course he understood this.

At present, the organization is still in its infancy, and it is still in the stage where ideology is above everything else and the tenacious spiritual will can overcome all difficulties.

As long as such an ideology still has the upper hand, what he said is doomed to be fallacies and heresies.

But fortunately, Zhang Ran didn't want to discuss with Pu Yuan and others in this matter right now.

So when he heard this, he didn't think he was angry, and said with a smile: "Commander Pu, you are too careful, I just told us how to mobilize the masses to work in the Jindong base area, and how to strive to unite more villagers more closely around us and fight against the little devils together to exchange and exchange ideas - if Captain Pu and Miss Long think I am wrong, then I haven't said it!" ”

"If you're not sure if you should say something, don't say it!" Long Xin reminded.

"It's not so serious, we are all soldiers, not political work cadres!"

Pu Yuanzhong waved his hand, signaling that Long Xin didn't have to be too nervous - the organization was very tight in this regard, and there were many cases of being convicted for words, but on the side of the troops, it was still relatively pure.

He is still confident in this.

"I love to hear what Captain Pu says!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "We are soldiers, defend the family and defend the country and fight devils, don't mix anything else, let the chiefs worry about other things!" ”

"You kid, don't treat yourself as an outsider!"

Gu Xiangyang said stupidly: "In the name of our Eighth Route Army, still say this-the chief, which chief is your chief?" ”

The kind of feeling that everyone knows, but only he is kept in the dark, has made Gu Xiangyang feel uncomfortable in the past few days, and when he seized the opportunity at this moment, he immediately raised his eyebrows at Zhang Ran, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu took you as a brother, why did you hide it from Lao Tzu - Lao Tzu is really blind!

Gu Xiangyang made such a general gag, and the depressing atmosphere brought by the sensitive topic suddenly dissipated a lot.

"Zhang Paopao, I just heard that you have a lot of experience in developing mass work!" Pu Yuanzhong also deliberately eased the atmosphere.

Long Xin immediately expressed disdain: "That is, relying on the fertilizer in his hand - if there is no fertilizer, let him try!" ”

"Dragon girl, I don't like to hear this!"

Zhang Ran said depressedly: "Even if I have chemical fertilizer, it is also made by us after a lot of hard work, not falling from the sky - besides, even if there is no chemical fertilizer, I have 100,000 ways to make the mass work prosperous, believe it or not!" ”

Although after a few decades, poverty alleviation has been very difficult.

But that's entirely because the people decades later are pursuing prosperity, and the people at this time are pursuing food and clothing, and the goals are different!

If you give yourself room to show, if you can't even solve the problem of food and clothing for the villagers......

Zhang Ran felt that his poverty alleviation work for several years had been in vain!

Therefore, he felt that it was necessary for him to open his eyes and see the true skills of cadres in the new era!
