Chapter 12: The Dangers of Secret Service
Li Ziyuan, who felt that he had said everything he should have said, and that there was nothing left to say, waved his hand to signal a few cadres to leave. But he didn't go anywhere, just sat at the foot of the North Mountain, looking at the South Mountain opposite, but fell into deep thought.
In Li Ziyuan's mind at this moment, he remembered Chang Juan's words at the previous meeting. Although the girl's instructor's words made him very dissatisfied, there was a sentence that woke him up. They should adapt themselves to guerrilla life as soon as possible and find out the difference between the guerrillas and the main forces as soon as possible. Li Ziyuan thought that the girl's other words were nonsense, so this sentence was to the point.
When you are in the main force, you never have to worry about your flanks on the battlefield, whether it is attacking or defending. With the unified deployment of the higher authorities and the cooperation between the various fraternal units, all you need to do is pay attention to your own combat objectives.
As for training, that's what I should do as a company commander. In terms of tactical command, the company commander actually did not need to think much about his turn, and most of the time he was deployed in accordance with the unified deployment of his superiors. To put it bluntly, when he was in the main force, he was just an executor. As for the development of the combat plan, the implementation of the entire combat program.
In addition to the independent activities of his own company, he basically can't think about it himself. The replenishment of recruits and the supply of ammunition are also arranged by the superiors. No matter how many it is, it's still not your turn to worry about it. The amount of ammo is smaller, but the higher level can always replenish it before the battle starts, or after the battle ends.
But when you get here, it's different, you have to do everything yourself. Without the support and cooperation of the brother troops, they had to get their own bullets and weapons, and even recruits had to be recruited by themselves. From military training to determination in every battle, you need to do it yourself. In other words, here, you can only rely on yourself for everything.
And the first premise of doing all this is to survive in the complex environment in Hubei and the huge disparity between the forces of the enemy and us. If we still follow the same set of the main force, it will definitely not work. When you get here, you can only eat meat or starve to death, and you will never even have the opportunity to gnaw bones.
Because gnawing on bones only means that you may be wiped out, and you can't do anything after you run out. I don't need much money at the moment, and I have to fight out the bones after gnawing twice. The first condition for survival is to eat meat. Before eating meat, you must first save enough money to eat meat.
Thinking about this, and remembering the expectant look in the old superior's eyes when he was leaving, Li Ziyuan looked a little depressed. Accustomed to the fact that the main forces do everything step by step, they found that they had to rely on themselves for everything. And whether or not the soldiers can be trained in the shortest possible time has also become a matter of life and death.
The sharp knife company that led this guerrilla force into its main force was not something that could be done in a short time. Although the main force lacks everything, there is one that cannot be compared with its own troops. That is, no matter whether the troops are new or old, there will be a certain backbone who will lead the new with the old.
Obviously, one's own troops do not have this condition at the moment, and it is almost possible to reach the same quality as the old troops in a short period of time. You must know that the original Hubei Base Cadre Battalion also had a reinforced platoon under the main force. However, although the quality cannot be counted on in a short period of time, at least let these soldiers know how to fight this battle and how to survive on the battlefield.
The secretary of the second district party committee was given him an instructor, and Li Ziyuan was not very worried about food supply. But in other aspects, Li Ziyuan found that he needed to face a lot of things. And in these matters, he didn't even have a person to discuss, and Guan Li was half at most.
As for his female instructor, thinking about the words at the meeting, Li Ziyuan would rather break his head than discuss with her. Isn't it good for a yellow-haired girl to go to a drama club or art troupe to act, sing, and dance? I have to come to the army to participate in something.
Li Ziyuan was at the foot of Beishan, just sitting quietly, looking at Nanshan opposite, his head was constantly turning rapidly. In addition to the problem of the survival of the troops, there is another thing that is bothering him, the devil is obviously prepared this time, and he knows his bottom very clearly. Who is the person who can provide information to the devil?
Obviously, he will not be from Wangjiagou. It has been half a month since the troops were stationed in Wangjiagou, and Wangjiagou is so close to the Qiaokou stronghold. It is impossible for the Japanese puppet army to delay until now. But if they are outsiders, who are they? The common people bought by the Japanese puppet army? Or a spy in a pseudo-system? Or a member of a spy or traitor organization like the Pseudo-Xinmin Association?
Li Ziyuan knew very well that if his troops wanted to survive and develop in Hubei, then these Japanese puppet agents would be a greater danger than the regular Japanese puppet army. If these people are not found out, it will be difficult for their troops to survive in Hubei, where the situation is so complicated and the enemy situation is so severe.
If you move to that station, you won't have to fix it. And no matter what village you are stationed in, it will bring ruin to this village. Hubei is the main grain producing area around Changzhi, and there are also rich coal resources here. The most important thing is that after the Japanese army occupied Changzhi, the Baijin Railway built with all its might crossed the entire territory of Hubei.
Unlike the counties in the Taihang base area, this is an area that the Japanese army has always controlled tightly. No matter what anti-Japanese forces, they must be wiped out as soon as possible. If you don't find out these Japanese puppet spies, it will be difficult for your troops to gain a foothold in Hubei, and even survival will be difficult, and it will bring ruin to the common people.
The destructive power of these Japanese puppet agents, Li Ziyuan has a clear memory. After he crossed the Yellow River with the main force of the 129th Division in 37 years, he once saw with his own eyes a regiment of friendly troops.
It was blocked in a village by the devil's plane, and it was bombed indiscriminately, and the entire regiment was blown up without firing a single shot. At that time, his troops happened to pass by there, and they also helped the friendly troops rescue a lot of wounded, and caught two traitors who reported to the Japanese army.
The tragedy at that time makes Li Ziyuan unforgettable to this day. An elite regiment that was fully loaded didn't fire a single shot, and he didn't even see the face of the devil. It was in one village that it was blown up by Japanese planes. The corpses and wounded of friendly soldiers filled a whole village. After the bombardment of a regiment, not even half of the men remained.
On that occasion, although his troops picked up a bargain, the guns discarded by the friendly troops pulled several carts, all of which were Hanyang-made rifles, and more than 200,000 rounds of ammunition were collected. More than 20 Czech-made light machine guns were also collected, as well as two mortars and a heavy machine gun company. But the tragedy at that time made the whole regiment shudder.
Everyone rushed out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, and the corpses on the battlefield were not unseen. But the scene at that time still makes Li Ziyuan remember it deeply. Just a few spies and a few signal transmitters made a regiment completely lose its combat effectiveness without firing a single shot.
These traitors and spies are sometimes even more dangerous than a reorganized brigade of the Japanese army. Because before he acts, you will think that he is just a passing citizen, and maybe even a refugee. But once you are a little careless, they will cause you irreparable damage that will never be repaired.
And such people are the most difficult to purge them. Because a lot of Japanese spies are really exposed before they are exposed, it's hard to figure out what he does. Even in the core area where the masses in the Taihang base area are best mobilized, it is difficult to completely eliminate the Japanese puppet spies and hidden traitors. What's more, in this complicated Hubei territory?
The three-year combat life since crossing the Yellow River in the east has made Li Ziyuan understand that the Japanese army is definitely an expert in this regard, not to mention how it is on the battlefield, but to engage in intrigues and tricks. If you don't pay attention to it, you are likely to be bitten by them. And once bitten by these Japanese puppet spies, those who suffer the least losses will also pay heavy casualties.
Today's obvious actions of the Japanese puppet army also gave him a wake-up call in disguise. He faced not only the Japanese puppet regular army, but also the local miscellaneous puppet army, but also a large number of spies and traitors who were lurking and peeping at every corner of Hubei with sneaky eyes.
If you want to survive and eventually develop and grow in Hubei, you have two strongest opponents. A pseudo-county garrison brigade adapted from the former Hubei County militia after surrendering to the enemy. As the head of the land, this puppet army is familiar with the terrain and people's conditions, and the equipment is quite good, at least from today's point of view.
A squadron of two hundred people, actually armed with six light machine guns. Moreover, the small arms are all Jin-made 65 rifles and Czech-made rifles, and the squad leaders and above wear Dagu barge guns. Li Ziyuan had heard of the good equipment of this puppet garrison brigade before, but it was the first time he had really come into contact with it.
In fact, Li Ziyuan didn't care too much about the equipment of the puppet garrison brigade. But for this pseudo-garrison brigade, Li Ziyuan values his captain more, that is, the person like the teacher I saw today, Li Ziyuan attaches great importance to it.
This guy relied on handing over the dozens of seriously wounded soldiers who had been guarding the line from Changzhi to Huguan when the Japanese army attacked Hubei, and let the Japanese army stab them to death in Hubei County with bayonets. He also cooperated with the Japanese to defeat the retreat of the Jin Sui army, and the security regiment that stayed in the southeast of Jin won the trust of the Japanese.
Generally speaking, these puppet armies have absolutely no scruples about dealing with the Eighth Route Army. However, when it comes to dealing with the national government, they generally have great scruples. Whether it is the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army, the Sichuan Army, and other miscellaneous armies, they are generally unwilling to offend too much. Although I don't know why this guy is so unstoppable, he is definitely a hardcore traitor.
Compared with the so-called Jinnan National Salvation Army, which is stationed between Hubei and Changzhi and deployed along the Baijin railway line, which also belongs to the puppet army system, this puppet county garrison brigade is much more threatening. These guys were born and raised in Hubei, and they are very familiar with the mountains and rivers here. Coupled with the plainclothes team in Hubei County, it can be said that it is a strong opponent of itself.
These people are even more destructive than the Japanese army, because without them, the Japanese army is a group of blind and deaf people in the entire territory of Hubei, and it is not difficult to deal with the strength of the Japanese army in Hubei with only two squadrons. But with the cooperation of these puppet armies like local snakes, the effect is two different things.
