The situation in the guerrilla zone is very serious!

For this saturation rescue plan, the guerrillas of Yangquan, Qingping, Gaolin and Yuanguang, who were directly involved in the rescue, had to leave their original defense area, not only suffered heavy casualties along the way, but what was even more terrifying was that because of their departure, there was a vacuum directly in the original defense area!

With their departure, the power of the devils spread out in large numbers in the guerrilla areas, and the old landlords and wealth, who had been deterred by the guerrillas, began to become arrogant again, and they took refuge in the devils one after another, set up landlord armies, and made waves everywhere......

At present, I don't know how many villagers in the guerrilla areas who usually firmly support the guerrillas have been brutally poisoned by the devils and the landlords' armed forces......

In short, the mass base of the guerrilla zone has suffered a devastating blow during this time!

Thinking of this, Sun Hongzhong Tu Jinjun woke up and several people looked ashen, and rubbed their brows in pain.

Zhang Ran felt the pain in their hearts - after all, the effort they put into the team was not much more than the effort they put into the detachment......

And now, not only has the team itself been hit like never before, but even the common people have lost confidence in them......

Zhang Ran believes that if it were just the casualties of the team, Sun Hongzhong, Tu Jinjun and the others would probably not be so sad - after all, as long as the villagers are still on their side, and there are no more people, they will be recruited again!

But once the villagers lose confidence in the guerrillas, and they want to make a comeback, it will be difficult!

Trust is like this, if you want to build it, it is very difficult, but once trust collapses, it is even more difficult to make people regain confidence!

But Zhang Ran will never blame the villagers!

Because he knew very well that if he were a fellow villager in the guerrilla zone, he would probably not be willing to support the work of the guerrillas anymore!

The reason is very simple, the big guys desperately support the guerrillas, what is the picture?

Isn't the picture that when the big guys are bullied by the little devils and the dog traitors, the guerrillas can stand up, uphold justice for them, clean up the little devils for them, clean up the landlords and traitors for them, and let these little devils, landlords and traitors want to bully them in the future, when they think of the guerrillas, they don't dare to be so rampant, and they will throw rat traps!

But now?

When the villagers were bullied by devils and plagued by landlords and traitors, where were the guerrillas?

Sun Hongzhong, Tu Jinjun, and the others thought of this, and they had a headache for a while.

Originally, the autumn offensive that the little devils have launched so far is the best chance for the guerrillas to win back the hearts of the people - as long as they can withstand the little devils and cover the villagers as much as possible to harvest more grain that originally belonged to them under the butcher's knife of the devils, then the villagers will definitely be able to understand them to a certain extent!

After all, the guerrillas are armies and have combat missions, and I believe that the villagers will be able to understand this!

Now, the guerrillas are unable to protect the villagers because they have a task, so they have to suffer, and during the autumn harvest, the guerrillas have no task, and they will definitely be able to move back if they desperately assist the villagers in harvesting......

Only now, the strength of the guerrillas has been seriously damaged, and in order to deal with the detachments, Zhaoming has taken advantage of the vacuum of strength in the guerrilla areas, not only cultivating a large number of landlords and traitors, but also adding a large number of devils to them......

At this time, if Sun Hongzhong and the others dare to go back, I am afraid that they will be strangled by the armed forces of the devil puppet army and the landlords at the first time, and it will be difficult to annihilate the whole army!

Therefore, now that Sun Hongzhong Tu Jinjun and the others are awakening, they don't dare to return to their original defense area at all, let alone have the strength to protect the villagers, and they are armed to cover their harvest!

They are sure that the villagers who have been disappointed again and again will definitely lose confidence in them completely!

Zhang Ran also understands this.

But he must not watch a few people give up.

Although the chairman's team is also doing its best to fight against the Japanese invaders, because of the corruption of the bureaucracy and corruption, it has rotted to the bones!

Relying on them to save China is simply a fool's dream!

Although the Eighth Route Army was facing an unprecedentedly severe situation of the Anti-Japanese War, it still persisted, even though it was bloody, even if it was starving, but the Eighth Route Army never gave up!

It's not that they want to win anything, but because they understand that they must not bow their heads and admit defeat!

If even they bow their heads and admit defeat, this country, this nation, it will really be over......

"I know the folks are disappointed in you guerrillas right now, but don't be too discouraged!"

Zhang Ran patted a few people on the shoulder, and said with firm eyes: "After the battle of the autumn offensive, let's start all over again, step by step, build up the trust of the villagers in us again, and let the villagers continue to support us as before - believe me, we will definitely be able to do it!" ”

Looking at Zhang Ran, Sun Hongzhong Tu Jinjun woke up and nodded fiercely: "Captain, don't worry, as long as we don't die, as long as you haven't given up, you still have confidence - then we will also have confidence!" ”

"Even if I die, even if I give up, you can't give up - of course, I won't give up even if I die!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile, and then arranged the work of several people: "Although the injury of the leader of Zero has been controlled after the medication, if he wants to get better treatment, he must go to the detachment hospital, so I will take the leader and them back to the detachment as soon as possible......

Now that you are sleepy and tired, and the large team is moving, you can't avoid the eyes of the devils and traitors at all, so you can stay here for the time being to rest!

Now the devils are hoarding heavy troops in your guerrilla area, just to attack our Jindong base area! ”

Zhang Ran breathed a sigh of relief before continuing: "Without your guerrilla zone as a buffer, in this battle, my base area will have to fight naked with the devils, and in this case, we will not be able to win at all......

So, during the rest time here, you must do your best to recover your strength!

When the little devils attack the base area, the strength of the devils in your guerrilla zone will inevitably be weakened, and when the time comes, you will take the opportunity to kill back - on the one hand, disrupt the devils' rear defense line and cooperate with the detachment to fight the devils in the base area, and on the other hand, you can also personally go to the devils, traitors and puppet troops with your own hands, and you will have to come back with profits! ”

Several people nodded heavily, indicating that they promised to complete the task.

After the meeting, it was almost late at night.

Jia Quantao and other soldiers of the cavalry platoon, who had rested, were already waiting outside the door, ready to take Zhang Ran and Commander Zero back to the base at any time.

Many soldiers who knew that Zhang Ran was going to leave came to see off Zhang Ran and the others!

"Comrades, I think you all already know the situation we are facing!"

Zhang Ran looked at everyone and shouted: "I know that the current situation is difficult for us, and I also know that many of you can't see the direction of the future clearly - but, please believe me, the future is bright!"

All the predicaments we encounter now are just the darkness before the dawn!

Therefore, I implore you, grit your teeth again, for yourself, for the sake of your relatives, for our children and grandchildren, and for the future of the entire Chinese nation, you must obey the orders of your captain and persevere......"

Zhang Ran looked at everyone and shouted: "As long as we survive this period of time, we will definitely be able to break through the darkness and see that bright future - comrades, my China will not die, and the little devil will die!" ”

"If China does not die, the little devil will die......"

Everyone was shouting angrily, although they all suffered unprecedented defeats, but hearing Zhang Ran's words, the eyes of every soldier were filled with hope, as if they had seen the day when the little devil perished, and it seemed that they had seen countless compatriots, living on the beautiful land they had fought for and watered with blood!

So happy and carefree......

As soon as Zhang Ran and the others left, Sun Hongzhong, Tu Jinjun and others woke up and immediately started their work.

Look for devils in the surrounding area who can be attacked, or the landlords are armed, and live from them to develop the necessary food and materials for the development team.

At the same time, they also hoped that through these armed struggles, more people who were unwilling to be oppressed and enslaved from the villagers in the surrounding areas would join the guerrilla ranks, enrich the strength of the ranks, and fight side by side with the ranks.

Everything, it's tough.

But all of them were full of confidence.

Because the process of rebuilding the team, even if it was difficult, was not as difficult as when they pulled the team up with one hand and one foot, because they had already had the same experience......

What's more, now they have reserves in terms of guns and ammunition, so they will not be as poor as they were at the beginning, and if they want guns and ammunition, they have to exchange human lives......

"Captains!"

There was a knock on the door, Gu Jianfeng walked in, and pleaded: "I want to pull a guerrilla force belonging to our Hanyang in the Hanyang area, and I hope that several captains can support me......"

"Your idea is very good, of course we are willing to support it!"

Tu Jinjun hesitated for a moment before saying: "It's just that on the Hanyang side, the war has just ended, and it is the time when the little devil puppet army is the most rampant, and it is probably very dangerous for you to go back to pull the team at this time - otherwise, you follow us first, accumulate some experience, and wait for a while, and then go back after the limelight, what do you think?" ”

"I know it's tight right now—but that's why I'm in a hurry to go back!"

Gu Jianfeng said: "After this disaster, I really understand that if a place does not have a team to speak for the local villagers, how serious the consequences are, I believe that our villagers in Hanyang must also understand this now, I also believe that so many people have died, there must be many people like me, dreaming that someone will stand up, raise their arms and shout, and lead them together to seek justice from the little devil, so that the little devil will pay for his blood - I want to see if I can do it!" ”

"You can do it!"

After listening to Gu Jianfeng's words, Tu Jinjun Sun Hongzhong and the others nodded fiercely, and then stretched out his hand and said: "Comrade Gu Jianfeng, welcome you to become a member of the guerrilla team under the leadership of our Jindong detachment, from now on, we will be comrades-in-arms - let us fight side by side for this land that gave birth to us and for our families!" ”

A few hands, clasped together!
