Li Ziyuan didn't think that with his current situation, he still had the strength to disperse and come to this lofty mountain to find the location of his brother's troops everywhere. Shexian County is located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, that is, it is located in the hinterland of Taihang Mountain. It is connected to the South Hebei Plain in the east and the Shangdang Basin in the west, and there are lofty mountains and mountains everywhere.

In such a vast mountainous area, if you want to find the brother troops that are definitely scattered at the moment, and may even operate in a battalion or company formation, how many people do you have to send to reconnoitre? If there are such people, why should they be frowning now? Even if there is a handle in his hand, he will not have such a headache.

However, with the intuition that Li Ziyuan had cultivated on the battlefield for many years, he felt that there should be his brother's troops active around his current location. Although it is not known how much, there will certainly be its own troop activity. This area is the jurisdiction of the five divisions, and at least the troops of the five divisions will certainly not be too far away.

And if his intuition hadn't been wrong, the division headquarters would have been operating around here. It may even be far away, but it is not very far. Shexian County is located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain and is one of the core areas of Taihang Base Area. Judging from the strategic location here, the division headquarters should not leave Shexian during this time.

This is also the reason why he insisted on fighting this battle, in addition to the previous reasons, he was also worried that bringing this tail to the division headquarters would bring danger to the division headquarters. You must know that the heads of division commanders and political commissars are far more valuable to the Japanese than themselves. If you don't cut off this tail, you won't dare to get too close even if you find the division headquarters.

If you run it out, you will be gone, but you must not let this Japanese army threaten the safety of the division headquarters. This Japanese army is not terrible, but they can mobilize Japanese puppet troops in other directions through the radio, which is a considerable threat. The last time I went to the division headquarters to report, the division headquarters was a unit of a guard company.

It is necessary to find the division headquarters and hand over these non-combatants safely. Then he knows that he can't solve this tail, and he doesn't have so much strength in his hands now. But Li Ziyuan knew that he had to find a way, and they didn't dare to continue to follow, so that he could rest assured that he would join the division headquarters and hand over those ancestors behind him to the division headquarters.

Li Ziyuan did not regret this battle, even if the blood was almost exhausted and he was in trouble, Li Ziyuan did not regret it. But how to face the passion, what to do next, Li Ziyuan is really in trouble. Li Ziyuan, who was holding a telescope to observe around, looked forward to the appearance of the surrounding mountains, and the familiar touch of eight master ashes.

I saw Li Ziyuan holding a telescope there, constantly observing the surroundings. The guards sent by the sub-district political commissar around him, plus Guo Xiaoshan, who was stubbornly inseparable from him. Although the two of them didn't agree too much with him holding a telescope and observing half of his body outside, this kind of practice could easily bring danger.

But looking at Li Ziyuan's somewhat gloomy face, no one dared to say anything. And Ma Yongcheng and Zeng Sheng also looked at Li Ziyuan's face, and wanted to say something, but finally suppressed the words. Only his arm was in the previous melee, and He Sanliang, who had been hit with a bayonet, walked to Li Ziyuan's side.

After looking at the surrounding terrain, he smiled and said, "Battalion commander, the terrain here is favorable to us, in fact, you have nothing to worry too much about." Two rifles that fired cross-fire could block the route of the Japanese attack towards the mountain. There is no artillery in this Japanese army, so we will have no problem holding on. ”

"Battalion commander, your mind is a little chaotic right now. At the moment, we and the Japanese army basically can't help anyone. The Japanese army did not have heavy weapons, and the remaining troops did not go there more than we did. We control the favorable terrain, and Lao Wang's side has also restrained some troops and dare not invest in it. ”

"The current situation is more patient than us or the Japanese army. With so many non-combatants and a lot of wounded, it is basically impossible for us to force a breakthrough. In a word, now is more patient than any of us. If there is anything else, it is better luck than any of us, reinforcements will arrive first. ”

"But battalion commander, how do I feel that you are interested in this situation? Actually, I feel that if we go southeast, it should be more advantageous to move a few kilometers than to play here. However, given the terrain here, you should have put yourself to death on the surface, but in fact you still have a way to survive if necessary. ”

"I've had a rough look at the terrain here. Although on the surface there are only two passes that are the way out of the mountain, there is also a road on the mountain where we are located, and there is a road that can be lowered at any time. The cliff behind the mountain, which is about 30 meters high, can be used as a passage for us to go down the mountain when we need to. I think that with your ability, battalion commander, there should be a way to go down this cliff. ”

"Battalion commander, if I'm not mistaken, you're fishing. It's not just the Japanese army that's fishing, I'm afraid there are also our own people. I said battalion commander, are you a little too bold? If you don't catch a fish and catch a bunch of jackals, that's bad. ”

Hearing He Sanliang's words, Li Ziyuan was silent for a while and said, "Old He, you're right, I'm indeed fishing." The situation is pressing, and I can't help it, and I can't help but take some risks. With these, they can't walk, they can't fight, and they have to leave more than half of the non-combatants behind on a forced march. ”

"There's no way we're going to get rid of the dogs behind us, and there's no way we're going to turn around and have a good fight. I put on such a show today, and it can be regarded as a dog jumping off the wall when I was forced to the foot of the wall. People must gamble when they need it, when they should gamble. ”

"The devil has a radio station, and the ability to force troops to march in the mountains is also strong, and he can mobilize the Japanese army within a radius of dozens of kilometers at any time to surround him. We're going forward recklessly, and if we don't do it, we'll fall into the trap of the devils. Instead of running around like there are no flies, it's better to be still instead of moving. ”

"I can only find a way to find our brother troops, but the question is where to find them? This is our core base, and there must be our troops around. As soon as the gunshots go off here, they should find themselves. Lao He fights positional warfare, you are a good hand. But to fight guerrilla warfare, the brain must be lively. ”

"The quality of our soldiers and the devil's soldiers, as well as the ability to replenish weapons and ammunition, are very different. Fight to the death, and after a few battles, the troops have to fight their foundations. When you're over there, you should feel that once the old foundation is gone, it will be difficult for this army to rebuild. At least for quite some time, combat effectiveness could not be restored to its previous state. ”

"Therefore, when we are fighting guerrilla warfare, we should take advantage of the situation. Make more use of the terrain and the surrounding situation, and more accurately judge the enemy's situation and our situation. And you can't fight hard, and you can't hold the idea of fighting hard and pulling down. When it's time to make up your mind, you have to fight to the death. ”

"But more often than not, we have to be good at taking advantage of all the situations around us. Especially when fighting independently, it is necessary to give more consideration to flexibility, mobility, and surprises. Everyone has weaknesses, and devils are not perfect, let alone iron-clad King Kong, they have more weaknesses. ”

"The enemy does not know what he is defending if he is a good attacker. Those who defend well, the enemy does not know what they are attacking. Play to our strengths and deal with the weaknesses of the Japanese army. I made up my mind to fight this battle here because I judged that there must be activities of our troops in the vicinity, but Tsuruta Numan didn't know this. ”

"The most important thing is that he has only bitten us before, and never launched an attack, because he knows that with the strength in his hands, he can't eat us in one bite. He has a radio in his hand, and he can always set up a set for us in front of us according to our course of action. ”

"So, when I got here, I looked at the terrain and decided to him here. Use the sound of gunfire to mobilize our troops, and the most important thing is to break the trap he may set. This guy has a big appetite, and he doesn't just want to eat us people. And take these non-combatants we cover and go to his superiors to ask for rewards. ”

"He bit us before and didn't attack, just waiting for his mobilized forces to arrive. It's just that what I didn't expect was that this guy wasn't as rigid as his colleagues. After seeing the terrain here, he actually changed his mind. I'm going to do the same thing, and I'm going to bite us hard here. ”

"So that when his reinforcements arrive, they can solve us in the shortest possible time. In order to achieve the goal, it even did not hesitate to mobilize two aircraft to participate in the battle. It's just that the key problem is that he is a little hasty in this set, and the initiative of this ambush is still in our hands. ”

"Beat him up here, although we are now in a seemingly dead end, but the problem is that we have turned from passive to active. But you're right, it's not just about anything else this time, it's a lot of luck. It's up to us and their reinforcements to see who gets there first. ”

In front of He Sanliang, Li Ziyuan did not hide it. He almost told He Sanliang about his mastery and understanding of guerrilla warfare. Li Ziyuan's idea of doing this is very simple, that is, to reverse He Sanliang's thinking as soon as possible and let him integrate into this team as soon as possible.

He Sanliang is indeed a good hand in positional warfare. The battle in which Guo Laosan died, Li Ziyuan tasted it. If he really fights that kind of battle, he will be a step behind him in terms of arranging troops. At present, however, the Eighth Route Army does not have the capital to fight that kind of battle, and limited movement warfare and guerrilla warfare are still the main mode of operation.

As for He Sanliang's talent, Li Ziyuan believes that as long as the string in his head is pulled over and his way of thinking is more suitable for the tactics of the Eighth Route Army, this person will be an excellent operational staff officer. Of course, leading the troops on the front line, He Sanliang is still a little weaker.

Many times, Li Ziyuan often thinks that it would be good if the advantages of He Sanliang and Zeng Sheng could be fused together. He Sanliang is a living map, and he is an outstanding staff officer. Making a marching plan is much better than those half-pulled staff officers of the military division.

It is also quite good in the arrangement of troops in defensive warfare, but it is the ability to lead troops on the front line of this field battle that is a little poor. That is to say, he is a qualified staff officer, but he is definitely not a qualified battalion commander. And Zeng Sheng, Li Ziyuan's evaluation of him is that he is immobile and meticulous.

Once the superior has an order, before receiving the order, he will take a step back even if he is exhausted. Zeng Sheng's personality is suitable for being on the battlefield, and if he is placed at the most critical node of defense, there will definitely be no problems. But if you want him to be the commander of a main attack company, I'm afraid he won't have much to do but fight to the death.
