The difference between a farmer who grew up in the mountains and a hunter who has been active in the mountains and forests all year round cannot be effectively compensated for by the same environment in which he grew up. The way the hunter and the farmer live, those are purely two different things. At least the keen sense that has been cultivated in the face of wild animals such as tigers and leopards all year round is not something that a farmer with a hoe can have.

So in the mountains, Li Ziyuan still agrees with Guo Laosan's feelings. Guo Laosan's reminder, although a little clueless, didn't even say a word of explanation. But Li Ziyuan listened to his warning and believed Guo Laosan's judgment.

Guo Laosan's reminder made Li Ziyuan stop. After hesitating, he withdrew without the slightest hesitation. And the reason why Li Ziyuan finally decided to withdraw was not just Guo Laosan's reminder. Although Li Ziyuan does not have Guo Laosan, he has a keen sense of smell that he has developed after living in the mountains and forests for a long time.

But the habits and cunning of the Japanese army are not something that Guo Laosan can understand. After being beaten in the afternoon, the Japanese army did not make any deployment adjustments, and did not take any retaliatory measures, which made Li Ziyuan feel very uneasy. Because of this, it is not in line with the consistent habits of the Japanese army.

It was also the performance of the Japanese army in the afternoon that did not correspond to their usual habits. So after Guo Laosan gave a warning, Li Ziyuan finally decided to retreat despite some hesitation. When Li Ziyuan returned to Wangjiagou Dongshan with the team, seeing them come back so soon, Chang Juan was a little stunned and said, "Is there any accident?" Why did you come back so soon? ”

Regarding Chang Juan's question, Li Ziyuan simply explained the reason. After listening to the reason for Li Ziyuan's withdrawal, Chang Juan couldn't help but be stunned and said, "It's that simple? How can you make such a hasty decision based on the feeling of a person who is not very reliable? ”

Chang Juan's questioning, Li Ziyuan didn't explain anything, just said lightly: "I believe him, that's enough." I am a military commander, and I have the final say on the battlefield. I think he feels right, then I have the right to give the order to retreat. Instructor, I don't want to say anything more about command. ”

Also, don't say that others are unreliable. I don't care where he came from or what he's done. As long as he is willing to fight devils and has not betrayed us, it's okay. Whether a person is reliable or not is to be seen on the battlefield. As for how to completely retain him as a person, that's your business as a political instructor. ”

Li Ziyuan's faint words made Chang Juan a little annoyed. But looking at Guo Laosan, who was silently wiping his gun not far away, Chang Juan still swallowed back the rebuttal behind him. This Guo Laosan is too mysterious for her, and even for the entire army.

It has been a short period of time since the father and son joined the army, but everyone knows that his name is Guo Laosan, and even his son doesn't know what the name of the tuba is. This man was silent all day, and rarely even spoke to his own son. This person is not simple, this is what Li Ziyuan himself said.

So what is this person's background? Why is it always so mysterious, Li Ziyuan can not consider this, but as an instructor and secretary of the second district party committee, she can't ignore it. After all, in a difficult environment, the stability of the troops cannot be solved simply by winning a few battles.

And that Guo Xiaoshan seems to be closer to Li Ziyuan. followed Li Ziyuan all day long, except for Li Ziyuan's orders, he followed him almost everywhere. In addition, Guo Laosan is not a native of Hubei, so it is normal for Chang Juan to be a little distrustful.

But Chang Juan's suspicion made Li Ziyuan very uncomfortable. Chang Juan's words reminded him of the rebellion in the Red Army. Although after he joined the Red Army, the intensity of the rebellion has been greatly reduced, but some occasional events still make Li Ziyuan, a recruit, feel terrified. Especially liked his little brother Wang Cheng's repeated confessions, which made him even want to be a deserter for a while.

Chang Juan's unease about Guo Laosan made Li Ziyuan very unhappy. And Li Ziyuan's dissatisfaction with Chang JuanChang Juan heard it, but Chang Juan, who has a strong personality, was also very dissatisfied with Li Ziyuan's statement. It's just that Chang Juan, who looked at the soldiers around him and was unwilling to make the contradictions between the two people public on some issues, still suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.

As for Li Ziyuan, after saying that, he leaned against a big tree and frowned. How to fight this battle is really a headache for him now. The Japanese army never came out, and they were like tigers eating the sky, and they had nowhere to eat. Whether the sneak attack and piecemeal tactics will work or not, at least for now, is not seen.

I didn't know that the Japanese army's operation this time was personally commanded by the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Hubei, Luo Hekanshiro Shaozuo, and from the whole situation at the moment, he felt that the little devil's dispatch this time was somewhat different from the previous sweeps or township cleanups.

The most important thing is that this devil commander is quite cunning. What exactly did he want to do next, but Li Ziyuan felt that he had no clue at all. But now Li Ziyuan faintly felt that something was wrong, and his intuition told him that the Japanese army dispatched so many troops this time, and it was definitely not just a matter of restoring a Qiaokou stronghold.

Just when Li Ziyuan didn't figure out what the real intentions of the Japanese army were, Guan Li walked up to him and said, "Captain, why do I think you are a little confused?" If you encounter any difficulties, say it and help you analyze and judge it together. As the old saying goes, three stinkers are still on top of one Zhuge Liang. Although we are not as good as you in war, we have more ideas when we get together anyway. ”

Guan Li's words fell, and Li Ziyuan scratched his head and said, "Old Guan, I'm thinking about the devil's intentions this time." Judging from the actions of the devils this afternoon, their intentions are not as simple as we expected before. The little devil changed his previous flamboyant tactics this time, and I always felt that there was something wrong with it. ”

"You see, according to the habits of the devils in the past, under the situation that they have an absolute advantage in strength and firepower, they suffered such a big loss yesterday afternoon, and they will definitely go out to retaliate. But from yesterday afternoon to now, the devil has not made any movement. Even the position of the guard post has not changed, so I can't understand it somewhat. ”

"The little devil has restored the Qiaokou stronghold with such fanfare this time, and from now on, a large part of the reason is for us. Because after experiencing the blockade for a while ago, the little devil knew that the blockade would deal with us and bring us even more difficulties than sweeping. ”

"The restoration of their stronghold at Qiaokou means the resumption of the blockade. This forces us to fight this battle even if we are reluctant to fight against the devil at the moment. Therefore, not to mention the fact that they mobilized a large number of troops, they also took advantage of our habit of using the puppet army to take advantage of our habit of slashing with the puppet army, and adopted certain tactics against us. ”

"But the battle this afternoon has made it clear to them that we have seen through their schemes. But at the moment, the little devil still hasn't moved, which shows a big problem. Or, as Guo Laosan felt, they set up an ambush circle in front of them, waiting for us to continue the sneak attack. Either the little devil is afraid that in addition to the previous tricks, there will be another backhand. ”

This is reasonable. Our troops are far inferior to those of devils, our military quality is also very different, and our weapons and equipment are also very different. If you want to weaken the strength of the Japanese puppet army as much as possible, you can only adopt the tactics of sneak attack. It would not be surprising if the little devil had set up an anti-ambush circle in front of him, and he would have to deal with us. ”

"If Guo Laosan hadn't been vigilant today, I'm afraid we would have really fallen for the tricks of the little devils. If the real little devils set up an anti-ambush circle, and our first squadron adopts the tactics of the afternoon, I am afraid that it will suffer a big loss. Even if we are in close combat now, I'm afraid we are no match for the little devils. ”

"But regardless of whether the little devil has deployed an anti-ambush circle or not, now that we have withdrawn, there is no way for his tactics to bring harm to us. But what I'm most worried about at the moment is that the little devils will have any other backhands besides the Japanese puppet army in the Qiaokou stronghold. ”

"The little devils do have so many troops in Hubei, but I'm worried that the little devils will transfer reinforcements from other directions, including Changzhi. Although it is impossible for the Japanese puppet army transferred from other places to be stationed in Hubei for a long time, there is no problem in catching us off guard in a short period of time. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan sighed and said, "I don't know what's going on with this Hubei County Party Committee?" So far, the secretary of the county party committee has not seen it, and the entire intelligence system has not been restored. However, the focus of the enemy engineering department of the sub-division is still placed on Changzhi City, and it cannot take care of us at all. The failure of the intelligence system makes us feel like a blind man. ”

"Like this devil's dispatch, information has already come from other places. But now that everyone is in place, we have discovered and mastered it, which is first of all in a passive situation. The side that reacts slowly on the battlefield will always suffer big losses, even fatal. When will our intelligence system be restored? ”

Regarding Li Ziyuan's complaints, Guan Li had no way to answer him. It's not that he doesn't want to answer, it's that he doesn't know when the county party committee will be re-established. In the entire Ludong Army sub-district, the Hubei County Party Committee was destroyed the most. The sacrifices of several county party secretaries have also made the reorganization work unusually slow.

And Wang Tieshi's tight control over the puppet Hubei County garrison, and Liu Kaishan, the plainclothes captain of the puppet Hubei County, over Hubei County are also incomparable to other counties. In particular, Liu Kaishan took advantage of his familiarity with the county seat and the advantages of the head snake in the county, and the intelligence stations established by several county party committees in the county seat, including the intelligence station in Hubei, were destroyed by him.

In addition to these two guys, the captain of the Japanese military police stationed in Hubei, Long Ze Xingichi, is also an extremely difficult opponent. The guy was only a second lieutenant, but he was like a dog's nose that grew out of nature. Using a local snake like Liu Kaishan, as well as the pseudo Hubei County Police Chief Li Sanpao, the two people, controlled the entire Hubei County almost airtightly.

And the relationship between these two people is different from Wang Tieshi, the two of them were brothers long before the Japanese occupation. Liu Kaishan can call the wind and rain in Hubei County, relying on the support of Li Sanpao behind him. There is not only a so-called brotherly relationship, but also a large number of interests.
