Chapter Seventy-Nine: Doubts

looked at Chang Juan, who was a little stunned by his own words. Li Ziyuan thinks that if he doesn't slip at this time, he is still waiting for when he will slip away? Unless he wants to wait for Chang Juan, who reacts, to give him a big lesson in discipline. He didn't want to have any new conflicts with this female cadre.

It was not easy for everyone to sit down and talk well, and it didn't mean much to Mai Mang at the tip of the needle. Especially for the sake of the two traitors, it is even more interesting to have any conflict. As for killing those two guys, Li Ziyuan has never regretted it. Killing devils and traitors, he will never be soft.

Chang Juan, who was immersed in Li Ziyuan's words, didn't notice that Li Ziyuan was cautious, quietly slipping away from him like a thief. Obviously, what Li Ziyuan said to her was very beyond part of her previous understanding. It is estimated that she will have to digest it well before she can truly comprehend.

After getting rid of the danger of being educated by Chang Juan, Li Ziyuan breathed a sigh of relief. For Chang Juan, the instructor, Li Ziyuan, who knows that in addition to playing horizontally, Li Ziyuan, who is far from being an opponent in terms of lip service, is really a little scared now. is also a female cadre, and she is not good at always getting angry, so she can only dodge as much as she can.

However, Li Ziyuan's remarks were not made up to fool Chang Juan in order to get out, these things he had really heard with his own ears or had personally come into contact with. Many of these things were heard by his own ears when he interrogated some captured puppet military and political personnel.

There is also a part of the stuff that was stationed in a village and town in Jinzhong after crossing the Yellow River in the east. I've heard two old men who may have been in the late stages of a certain dynasty talk about it. At that time, he was still a platoon commander, and when he heard these two old men talk about this war that was related to the life and death of the whole nation, he thought that if the Japanese army followed the example of the Qing Dynasty, which had already been dead for 30 years, some of the practices after entering the customs would be more suitable for the so-called change of dynasty.

If the Japanese were better at involving Chinese, it would be more beneficial for them to build new countries. When changing the dynasty, the best way is to combine grace and power, rather than relying on the current blind use of force to solve the problem. If the Japanese wanted to rule China, they would ultimately have to rely on local Chinese officials.

Of course, perhaps these two old and young people have an essential deviation in their understanding of the current war. But Li Ziyuan, who almost didn't have a crooked nose at that time, faintly felt that maybe there were not many people who had this idea, but it was definitely not a few simple.

These two old gentlemen estimated that as soon as the Japanese were summoned, they would immediately fall into the water to serve the so-called new dynasty in their eyes. Just like after the September 18 Incident, when the Kwantung Army established the puppet Manchukuo in the northeast, some old and young people flocked to it. Even more excited and excited than the royal family back then.

There is also the one he once captured, the puppet captain of the garrison who once studied in Japan. They stubbornly believe that the war launched by the Japanese is to save China and build China into a powerful country like Japan. If we want to save China from the roots, we can only follow the path of the Japanese.

If it weren't for these anti-Japanese elements who made trouble, China would have gone hand in hand with Japan a long time ago. They are here to save China, and as for the anti-Japanese elements and the Chongqing government, they are the biggest sinners in China at the moment. And this old man refused to be bandaged after being captured, and finally died for his master because of his injuries.

Although these things are relatively one-sided, they have also subverted Li Ziyuan, who was a man in two lifetimes, and he used to treat those who fell into the water and became traitors, just for their own selfish interests, or for the sake of making a large amount of money, regardless of the safety of the nation and the country, and betraying the country to seek glory. He never thought that when a traitor betrayed his ancestors and the country, he would be so arrogant.

Of course, after crossing the Yellow River to the east and entering the battlefield in North China, among the traitors he came into contact with, except for those lower-level personnel who worked for the Japanese army for a little money. It should be said that the vast majority, especially high-level figures, are basically this kind of people. But these few cases also opened his eyes.

Really saw the ignorance that he knew in his previous life, but he hadn't seen it, and the legendary Japanese powder. Therefore, what he said to Chang Juan today cannot be said to be to completely shirk responsibility, or to fool Chang Juan. A lot of these things are also real.

As a cadre at the county and district level, the traitors that Chang Juan dealt with were terminal in the entire traitor system. In other words, most of the traitors she came into contact with defected to the enemy for the sake of so-called interests. As for those who defect to the enemy for the so-called ideals, she still has too little knowledge.

As for the two traitors, no, to be exact, one should be a traitor, and the other is a Korean who is a Japanese at all, Li Ziyuan thinks that it is not impossible to win over, but the possibility is basically very small. Especially when the Japanese puppet army has not yet finished the sweep, it is very dangerous to take these two people.

Dealing with it is not a violation of principles. But Li Ziyuan, who already knows the instructor's personality very well, obviously doesn't want to have any conflicts with Chang Juan because of these two miscellaneous things. That's why he said so many things that he was amazed at himself. You must know that Li Ziyuan, who is used to saying everything, rarely has such a big time to speak.

However, getting rid of the danger of being educated by Chang Juan does not mean that Li Ziyuan can relax. His thoughts turned to the telegram sent by the intelligence department of the Japanese army in Changzhi. He could not ignore the credibility of the contents of that telegram.

Whether the Japanese army's sweep of the mountainous areas in the eastern part of Hubei really ends here is a major matter involving the safety of the troops. Although this telegram was received by the radio station of the Japanese army, Li Ziyuan could also confirm that it was sent by the intelligence department of the Japanese army in Changzhi. But Li Ziyuan is not very convinced of the authenticity of its content.

Based on his understanding of the habits of the Japanese army, it was not for nothing that the Japanese army swept and swept into the air, and there were many times when the Japanese army retreated with heavy losses. But this kind of anticlimactic and snake-tailed, according to the law of the Japanese army's clearing or sweeping, at most only half of the sweep was carried out, and it was almost never.

The Japanese have always been known for their meticulous formulation of tactical plans and strict execution of their tactical plans. That is in strategic action, but in terms of tactical action, it still strictly implements the plan. Of course, if the other side does not resist strongly, they will also have the phenomenon of freedom of movement. However, this phenomenon is also strictly in its original overall battle plan.

The battle plan formulated by the Japanese army, based on what Li Ziyuan has heard and seen in the past few years, has always been known for being meticulous and interlocking. Although Li Ziyuan has only been a junior officer in recent years, his career as a scholar in his previous life has made him develop the habit of being good at observing and summarizing.

Although there were not many opportunities to contact the top and headquarters, Li Ziyuan also discovered that the Japanese army had been able to rampage on the Chinese battlefield in recent years. It is definitely not only the excellent quality of individual soldiers, but also the absolute superiority of air-ground firepower. Among them, the command ability of the junior officers far exceeds that of all the Chinese armies, including their own army.

Its execution ability and the ability of various arms to cooperate are far closer than those of the Chinese army. The officers who formulated the most crucial battle plan were well-intentioned and skillful, and their accuracy in judging the local battlefield was also unmatched by the armies of various factions in China. Staff officers at all levels are quite capable and of a very high level.

And the Eighth Route Army to which he is a member is still too early to reach this standard. However, the officers at all levels of the Japanese army also have a big problem, that is, as long as the troops are sufficient, their appetite will often be very large. Of course, in addition to the arrogance of the Japanese army, this is also related to its confidence in the combat effectiveness of its own troops.

The forces that the Japanese army invested in the eastern mountains of Hubei to sweep this time were indeed not large for the entire Taihang and even the Ludong Army Division. If these forces alone attack the core area of the division, they may even be beaten up, and no matter how big their appetite is, they probably don't have the courage to do so.

If you can target the mountainous area in the eastern part of Hubei alone, or if you say it against yourself, then the troops will be quite sufficient. In this case, will the Japanese sweep end so simply? Li Ziyuan was a little unconvinced. At least this situation did not conform to the consistent habits of the Japanese army.

If this operation is so anticlimactic, and they retreat hastily without achieving the most basic tactical objectives, it means that their so-called law and order purge plan is as simple as that. And their so-called law and order purge, if it is as simple as that, then it can only be said that the person who formulated this plan is definitely not Japanese.

In addition to his understanding of the habits and character of the Japanese, the great losses suffered in this battle also reminded him all the time that the Japanese army was an army of ferocity and cunning. In many cases, when you face them, even if you are a little lax or underestimate the enemy, they will calculate and suffer a big loss.

The fact that the Japanese army in Hubei was repeatedly captured by themselves before should be due to a large part of the factors that underestimated the enemy. And once the Japanese army really attaches importance to itself, if they are underestimating the enemy or careless, then it is very likely that they will be unlucky. And in the past few days, I have suffered a big loss. If it weren't for Guo Laosan's cleverness, I'm afraid that his guerrilla army might have been wiped out.

Logically speaking, the situation of the attack on the plainclothes team at this time should have been discovered by the Japanese intelligence department on the Changzhi side. That encounter was only more than twenty miles away from the area swept by the Japanese puppet army. Although he did not have time to send a report to this plainclothes team, according to the general communication regulations, when this plainclothes team retreated through the mountainous area in the eastern part of Hubei, it would not fail to greet the Japanese troops who were sweeping in this area in advance to avoid accidental injury.

This plainclothes team has a full set of Chinese army-standard weapons, and if they do not identify themselves in advance or set a contact time, it is estimated that the Japanese puppet army itself will fight first. Therefore, it was impossible for the Japanese puppet army in the mountainous area in the eastern part of Hubei not to know the scope of activities of this plainclothes team in advance.

At the same time, the battle, which lasted for more than 20 minutes, also made the Japanese puppet army, which was only more than 20 miles away, have enough time to react. Even if there is no time to rescue, it is easy to find the location of the battlefield. Unless the Japanese puppet army at that time moved farther away and did not hear the gunfire of that burst.

When he was retreating, in order to buy time, he simply cleaned up the battlefield, only collected the weapons and ammunition of this plainclothes armament, but did not bury the corpse. The number of more than twenty corpses is not very large, but it is not difficult to find. With the search capabilities of the Japanese army, it is absolutely impossible that it has not been discovered for such a long time.
