Chapter 54: Li Ziyuan, whose appetite has become smaller

Wang Cheng believed that the task given to Li Ziyuan by his superiors was to turn Hubei from a so-called security area controlled by the Japanese puppet army into a guerrilla area conducive to persisting in the War of Resistance and defending the 'gate' households in the southwest of the Taihang base area. And after the Hubei base camp was merged into the sub-district base regiment, the Hubei local armed forces were reorganized and insisted on fighting in Hubei.

Instead of letting him go there to mess around, he is bold and reckless, and he dares to poke any hornet's nest. This time he was lucky to win, and next time it may not be so easy. In a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is necessary to adopt some tactics. But this time Li Ziyuan's action was too risky.

If the Japanese puppet army in Luoma and Qiaokou quickly reinforces Pingchuan, and the Japanese puppet army in Hubei County advances eastward, his entire Hubei backbone guerrilla force, together with a company assigned to him, will be surrounded by the Japanese puppet army outside Pingchuan Town. With the terrain of Pingchuan, he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.

Although Li Ziyuan fought in Pingchuan Town, Wang Cheng thought that the fight was quite beautiful. But Wang Cheng still thinks that this method is too risky, and it is better to use it as little as possible. The foundation of development and growth is survival, and if you can't even survive, there is nothing to talk about development and growth.

Compared with Wang Cheng, who is pressed with anger, he is as kind as possible. Although he was beaten by his superiors, he was approved by his superiors, and Li Ziyuan was also very satisfied. For the old superior's criticism that seems to reprimand him, in fact, it is more about caring for himself, he has always been more of a lice not bite, and more debts than worries. It doesn't matter if he's taking risks or not, as long as he wins.

Looking at Li Ziyuan, who looked honest in front of him, but actually didn't care a little, Wang Cheng didn't have much to do. This guy seems to be fighting very recklessly, but in fact, he just hit a point in this battle. Wang Cheng knew that if there was no main force to move in the north and west of Hubei, this guy would definitely not have such courage.

It was precisely because he saw the actions of the main force, but would cover him to a large extent, that he dared to take this risk. As a result, he really won the bet, and took Pingchuan Town, the largest and largest stronghold of the Japanese army in the entire eastern part of Hubei, and captured such a large number of weapons and equipment.

The reason why this guy dared to attack Pingchuan Town was because he saw the actions of the main forces in the north and west. If he is really in a dangerous situation, he will definitely not die without saving himself who is active in the 'junction' area of Ludong and Hubei. It is precisely because of this that this guy dares to do something.

He wanted to take advantage of the situation and do something for himself. It was clear that it was good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and in turn, he mobilized his own backbone regiments, not to mention, but also mobilized troops from sub-divisions and military districts to cooperate with him. What should I do if I don't cooperate, after this guy defeated Pingchuan, he made a 'mess' of the situation in the entire Hubei.

The target of the Japanese puppet army's reinforcements, I am afraid that Hubei will become the highest priority target. If you don't want to find a way to further mobilize and strike at the enemy, once the Japanese puppet army quickly counterattacks, it will be the main force that will suffer at that time. I'm afraid that the commander of the military district personally approved this operation, that is, saw this.

Thinking about this, Wang Cheng was stunned to find that in front of him, he thought that although his brain was spinning quickly, Li Ziyuan, who was still a little immature in his views on many issues, could grow so fast. When did this guy grow to this point, why didn't he know?

Thinking of this, Wang Cheng didn't know whether to praise him or criticize him for his reckless behavior. His own criticism of him is only a warning to this guy to a certain extent that he doesn't have such good luck every time. This time, the main force supported him, but next time it may not be.

If he is always so bold and dares to poke anything, he will suffer sooner or later. At that time, if the main force arrives to reinforce in time, he will not be able to toss at all with the pitiful capital that Li Ziyuan has at the moment. Only by surviving can we develop, and only when the troops are strong can we give the Japanese army a better blow.

However, since the superior had already given the order, Wang Cheng had nothing to hesitate about. After all, pulling out these two strongholds will still be of great benefit to changing the situation in the southwest of the entire Taihang District. Wang Cheng personally gave an order to the battalion commander who received Li Ziyuan, asking the battalion to assist Li Ziyuan in seizing the stronghold of the fallen horse. As for the Qiaokou stronghold, it will be decided after looking at the overall progress of the entire Baijin Railway.

Of course, Li Ziyuan can also be regarded as repaying the favor, in addition to the weapons and ammunition 'medicine' that he handed in. He also stuffed his old superiors with a few Harder Gate cigarettes, a German-made Zeiss seven-fold telescope that was turned out of Wang Tieshi's house, and a map of 1/50,000 of the southeast area of Shanxi Province captured in the headquarters of the Japanese garrison.

Harder's 'door' cigarettes were smoked by Wang Tieshi's hardcore 'traitor' on weekdays, and Li Ziyuan collected more than a dozen cigarettes in the pseudo-garrison headquarters. Except for leaving some for Guan Li and Shi Jin, who smoked, the rest was given by him to his old superior, who smoked like his life. As for the map, he only left himself a 1/100,000 map of Hubei County.

I heard that the German-made Zeiss seven-fold telescope was bought from Tianjin by Wang Tieshi at a high price before the war. During the Jin Sui Army, he was reluctant to use it, and he usually hid it like a baby. This time, Li Ziyuan hit Pingchuan Town, and he took it back directly without politeness.

Li Ziyuan knew that for a commander, a good telescope was like a good gun, it was a baby bump. I will definitely not be able to keep this telescope, and my superiors will definitely reach out when they see it. There are so many company commanders in the entire Eighth Route Army, I am afraid that I am the only one who is equipped with a telescope now.

You must know that the average battalion commander can use a captured Japanese four-time non-commissioned officer telescope is already very good. Rather than not being able to keep it yourself, it is better to take the initiative to 'hand it over'. Anyway, in addition to this German-made telescope, there were also two Japanese-style 13-type telescopes and several non-commissioned officer telescopes. It's already good to leave a Type 13 telescope for yourself.

As for the few Browning pistols that were turned out of Wang Tieshi's house, except for one he kept for himself and one for Chang Juan, they were all 'handed over' to his old superiors. And his Japanese non-commissioned officer telescope given to him by Wang Cheng was also replaced by a Japanese-made 13-type six-fold telescope in this battle.

Regarding what Li Ziyuan 'handed over' to him, Wang Cheng also unceremoniously smiled. For Wang Cheng, nothing else mattered, but the telescope and map were very much needed for him. In particular, the map of 1/50,000 southeast of Jin Province was very important for him to march and fight.

His own French-made telescope was damaged by the Japanese during an ambush. There was no place to repair the base area, so for a long time I could only observe from the side. Although there are also a few non-commissioned officer-level telescopes of the Japanese army in the troops, for cadres at the regimental level, such telescopes with small magnification and short baselines are far from satisfying the needs.

The seven-fold telescope made by Zeiss in Germany that Li Ziyuan gave him solved his urgent need. So for this telescope, Wang Cheng can't put it down. As for those few Hard' 'door' cigarettes, Wang Cheng directly threw them to his political commissar and his comrades-in-arms.

Before leaving, Li Ziyuan quietly gave Wang Cheng and the guards of the political commissar of the basic regiment, two Japanese-style raincoats each, plus 200 rounds of shell bullets. And the two guards' Jin barge guns were replaced with "sex" can better serve the long seedling box. If it weren't for the fact that the 'flower' mechanism was too conspicuous and easy to be discovered, Li Ziyuan really wanted to replace these two guys with a 'flower' mechanism.

Li Ziyuan, the 'sexual' character of his old chief, knew that he must be on the front line when the gunshots rang out. If the guards don't have a good gun, they won't be able to protect their old chief. Therefore, after Li Ziyuan seized Wang Tieshi's family, his first thought was to replace the Jinzao shell gun with few bullets on his body, the old chief guard.

However, Li Ziyuan, who was familiar with the temper of his old superiors, repeatedly warned these two guys that they must not 'show' before leaving. Otherwise, these two people would continue to carry their two old-fashioned Jinzao shell guns. Not to mention the confiscation of guns and bullets, the two of them still have to be trained.

Coming out of a battalion from the hands of his old superiors, Li Ziyuan was naturally satisfied. As for the next target, the choice is to fall off the horse and Qiaokou, but Li Ziyuan doesn't care. As long as he can open up his own way out of the mountain, he is already very satisfied. And although Luoma is not as good as Pingchuan, it is much richer than Qiaokou. It is also a good thing for himself to be able to defeat Luoma Town, and now he has little appetite.

However, the distance between Qiaokou and Luoma was still relatively close, and after consulting with the commander of the first battalion of the divisional backbone regiment, Li Ziyuan still set up an ambush circle on the road between Luoma and Qiaokou when he was besieging Luoma. It would be better if the reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army in Qiaokou fell off the horse, and if the Japanese puppet army in Qiaokou did not move, it could be regarded as leaving a backhand.

As for why the fighting in Pingchuan Town was extremely 'fierce', the two strongholds of Luoma and Qiaokou never took any action. Li Ziyuan had already obtained the answer to this question through the interrogation of the prisoners. This time, the three strongholds, which have always been closely coordinated, have actually formed a situation of fighting separately, and the problem lies with the Luo Hekanshiro Shaozuo in Hubei County.

Because Kamishiro knows very well what the real result of his previous sweep was. After returning to Pingchuan Town after sweeping Wangjiagou, Luohe Kanshiro once sternly ordered the Japanese puppet troops in the two strongholds of Qiaokou and Luoma, and their main task was to block the passage out of the mountains in the northeastern mountains of Hubei.

In addition to getting his personal order from Luo Aikanshiro, if there is any abnormality in Pingchuan Town, even if Pingchuan Town is flattened, no rescue is allowed. Because Luo Kasumashiro believed that there were two strongholds in front of Luoma and Qiaokou, and the attack on Pingchuan Town could only be a sneak attack by a small group of Tuhachi Road. As long as the guards are tight, these dirt roads will not be able to set off too much wind and 'waves'.

The eight roads in the Taihang Mountain in the east, although the equipment is very poor, but they like to use the tactics of diverting the tiger from the mountain, attacking it and ambushing it along the way. As long as the two strongholds of Luoma and Qiaokou do not relax their vigilance and tightly seal off the mountainous areas in the eastern part of Hubei, the large troops of the Tuba Road will not be able to pass, and even if Pingchuan Town is attacked again, it will only be the last time that the small forces of the Tuba Road took the opportunity to sneak attack.

Therefore, Luo Hekanshiro Shaozo ordered two strongholds, if there was another Tuba Road to bypass these two strongholds, enter Pingchuan Town or even Hubei. Then whether it is the garrison or the Japanese army, officers at all levels must be severely punished. As for Wang Tieshi, if there is any more accident and he lets the small stock of Tu Balu 'mix' into Pingchuan Town, then he, the captain of the garrison, will have to be replaced.
