Li Ziyuan's categorical answer made Qian Defu stunned and said: "Captain, you can't have a Japanese puppet army around. . . шщш.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast. I saw the evacuated Japanese puppet army just now, and the number of them entering the mountain before was basically the same. So many Japanese puppet troops have been evacuated, and I think there should be no more little devils hiding around. ”

"Captain, this is not my own thought. When the Japanese puppet army withdrew, everyone also saw it. In fact, it doesn't matter if anything else, everyone knows that they obey orders. But now that the Japanese puppet army has withdrawn, everyone is hungry and continues to wait here in secrecy. Captain, you've got to give everyone a reason. ”

"There is nothing to say about obeying orders, this is the most basic requirement of being a soldier. We have plenty of supplies on hand, and we will have no problem holding out here for a few more days. But the little dry food we have on hand is evenly distributed, and we can't even reach half full. It's been two days, and the troops are all half-starved. ”

"Now that the food is about to run out completely, and the Japanese puppet army has withdrawn, you have to consider the feelings of the soldiers. Captain, it's not impossible to march and fight hungry. But in the current situation, it is a bit unreasonable to let everyone continue to starve. ”

Regarding Qian Defu's dissatisfaction, Li Ziyuan only replied to him with one sentence: "Intuition, my intuition tells me that the little devils have not gone far, and the devils around us have not been removed." At least some of them are still hidden around us. You don't have to explain anything to the soldiers, it's just a word, you don't order anyone not to go down the mountain. ”

"Three disciplines, eight attentions, how did you learn Lao Qian? On the battlefield, the orders of me, the military commander-in-chief, must be resolutely and uncompromised. The events of these two days should be regarded as a political education lesson, so that these recruits, as well as the new soldiers who have joined us, can truly feel the discipline of our troops, and also regard it as a test. ”

"Old money, you're a veteran. I don't need to say anything about the importance of discipline on the battlefield. Understanding must be carried out, and understanding must be carried out, and this must be instilled in the minds of all cadres and fighters. Without strict discipline, our troops will always be scattered. ”

After Li Ziyuan finished speaking, Qian Defu looked at Li Ziyuan, who was stubborn and tough, and could only go down speechlessly to carry out the order. Gut feeling? How do you explain this thing to the warriors? Normally, it doesn't matter, but everyone is hungry right now. You Captain Li have a gut feeling that you can fill the belly of the big guy?

Discipline is indeed important, this point does not need to be said by Li Ziyuan, Qian Defu also understands. But this has been holding each other for a few days, even if the traces of the troops are not exposed, but the troops are so hungry that they can't even walk. Even if the devil withdraws, what can he do? Isn't the army the same to be starved?

In fact, there was always a thought in his heart, and Chandford never said it. Qian Defu means that at present, the main force of the surrounding Japanese army has been withdrawn, even if the Japanese puppet army leaves some people to continue to ambush here, but the number of troops will definitely not be too much. Although there are many new recruits in the army at present, the firepower is not bad.

Instead of waiting here to starve, it is better to concentrate your forces and rush out in one go while everyone still has the physical strength. Even if you can save half of the people, it's much better than starving here. And even if there are Japanese puppet troops in ambush around, it is not necessarily that the current attention is focused on this side. If you concentrate your forces and firepower and fight them out in one go, there will always be a way out.

But Li Ziyuan had a tough attitude and Qian Defu, who also knew the discipline of the troops, could only convey orders to the soldiers. It's just that he doesn't know what to say, so he can only take the opportunity to talk about the three major disciplines and eight points of attention again, and ask everyone to obey the order.

In fact, Qian Defu's thoughts, Li Ziyuan did not understand. But the problem was that the Japanese army clearly did not give up, and suspected that their troops were hiding in this area. After climbing through snow-capped mountains and meadows, how could he not know the taste of marching and fighting with a hungry belly. But it's definitely not a good idea to break through right now.

Now the troops are half-starved and half-fed, not to mention, there are so many recruits. If we follow Chandford's idea and concentrate troops and firepower to break through the siege, the terrain here and the gap in the real combat effectiveness of the two sides will be added. If a third of them can rush out, it's already amazing.

In addition to the fact that there is a glimmer of hope for veterans, even those fighters who have been in the army for more than a month are difficult to rush out. In particular, the more than 30 recruits mobilized from the third district may not be able to rush out. When people send their children to the team, they are here to fight devils, not to send them to death.

Sacrifice on the battlefield is unavoidable, but this senseless sacrifice is unavoidable. If you can rush out, can you press the troops hungry and continue to hold on here? It is his responsibility as a captain to ensure that most people survive and become a qualified fighter.

As long as the Japanese army did not take action, it was absolutely impossible to move. At this time, it is about patience, whoever can't hold on first will lose. If you want to keep most of the fighters alive, the only way at the moment is to persevere, and it is better to go hungry than to die in a daze. As for how to do the work, Li Ziyuan believes that Qian Defu, a veteran, will find a way.

Fortunately, there are many new recruits in the troops at present, although they are obviously inferior in combat effectiveness. But there is also a little benefit, and that is obedience. The recruits of this era, although there are also those who dare to run. And the previous tragic scene made these recruits understand that even if they were deserters. But once you leave the unit and let the Japanese capture it, the result will definitely not be too good.

So although everyone was a little dissatisfied, mainly because they were hungry and couldn't move, everyone was still 'very' obedient. As for the veterans, they have long been in the habit of squeaking, and no one squeaks. And those soldiers of the puppet army anyway, knew from Zhang Erhu that the previous Pao Ze brothers, because they surrendered on the battlefield, they were picked by the Japanese army with bayonets when they went back.

These people were glad that they chose to participate in the Eighth Route and did not stay in the puppet army. I also know that if I am caught by the Japanese again, the consequences will definitely be more serious. In addition, these people are basically veterans, and they have far more battlefield experience than those recruits, and they can better understand the orders of their superiors.

Compared with the troops who seemed to be very calm, Li Ziyuan was very hesitant. Li Ziyuan, who didn't want to die here, chose to continue to hide, and wanted to take a few veterans down the mountain many times to 'touch' the situation. After all, with little supply left, this army can't afford to spend too long here.

To tell the truth, although Li Ziyuan judged intuitively, the Japanese puppet army that was hiding and waiting by his side and trying to wait for the rabbit did not all evacuate. Although he is quite confident in his instincts cultivated over the years of fighting on the battlefield. But intuition is, after all, intuition, and it cannot really replace the results of reconnaissance.

How many troops were left by the Japanese army, and what was left was only a latent observation post, or whether it was a formed force. If you just leave a latent observation post, as long as you are careful, you may not have no solution. However, if there are formed forces left, as long as the sky does not fall, they can only continue to hide and wait.

After making up his mind to 'touch' and 'touch' the situation, he did not expect the Japanese army to leave only Li Ziyuan at the hidden observation post. Rarely, he secretly prayed in his heart that he would not ask the Japanese army to leave only a small number of troops to monitor the area. I just hope that among the troops left by the Japanese army, even if the puppet army accounts for the majority.

However, after thinking about it again, Li Ziyuan decided to wait until it was dark. Their position, as well as their flanks, should have been under the close surveillance of the Japanese army. If your intuition is not wrong, it will be difficult for you to avoid the surveillance of the Japanese army when you go down the mountain during the day. At present, the Japanese army is only suspicious, and they are not sure that their troops are hiding in this area.

If you have good visibility at the moment, you will rashly go down the mountain to reconnoitre. With the capabilities of the Japanese army and the terrain here, it may not be impossible to find itself. At present, the troops no longer have the ability to bear any risks, and Li Ziyuan really does not dare to risk 'exposing' himself by himself.

After patiently waiting until it was dark, even after midnight, Li Ziyuan asked Qian Defu to send out the last bit of dry food on hand. Wait until everyone has eaten that bite and can swallow it. Li Ziyuan left Qian Defu and Liu Lianming behind and commanded the troops to stay behind. Before leaving, Li Ziyuan repeatedly 'handed over' Qian Defu, and was not allowed to move no matter what changes were made around.

Even if the guns and artillery in the surrounding area broke through the sky, as long as the Japanese army did not attack here, there was no movement, let alone fire, and the first priority was to preserve the vitality of the troops. Although Qian Defu and Liu Lianming were both resolutely opposed to Li Ziyuan personally going to reconnoitre, believing that Li Ziyuan could stabilize the morale of the army here.

If he insists on going down the mountain to 'touch' and 'touch' the situation, then it is more appropriate for one of the two of his own people to lead the team. However, Li Ziyuan, who was eager to grasp and 'feel' clearly at the first time, and was very likely to lurk in his surroundings, still insisted on leading his team to reconnoitre.

Li Ziyuan's uncompromising attitude, as well as taking out such a big hat as an order to oppress people when there was a dispute, made Qian Defu and Liu Lianming have no choice but to reserve their opinions. After dealing with Qian Defu and Liu Lianming, who were resolutely opposed, Li Ziyuan took He Huizhang to carefully 'touch' down the mountain, bypassing the valley at the foot of the mountain, and 'inserting' diagonally in the southeast direction.

Along the way, Li Ziyuan was extremely careful, and he could walk the ridge and never walk at the foot of the mountain. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain in the southeast, Li Ziyuan took a few soldiers and 'touched' it from the northeast. But he didn't go far before he found two heavy machine gun positions of the Japanese army that could overlook the entire valley and 'shoot' into a 'cross' fork. In a depression behind this hill, two 'guns' of 92 infantry guns were also found.

Although the whole mountain is not visible from the outside, nothing can be seen. But the entire hill was densely covered with Japanese troops. Except for a few plainclothes teams, all of them were Japanese soldiers, and there was not a single puppet army. The firepower configuration is also enough to suppress all the surrounding hills.

The Japanese army chose to hide and wait on the hill, although it was not as steep as the location that Li Ziyuan chose to hide, and the vegetation was as dense and lush. But the location it chooses is quite powerful. Not only is the vegetation relatively lush, which is conducive to concealing troops. Moreover, its field of vision is quite wide, and its machine-gun fire deployed on the top of the hill can suppress almost all the surrounding areas.

At the same time, the Japanese army was hidden on this hill, and the focus of its choice was quite accurate. It controlled almost all the routes in and out of the surrounding mountains, and every move on the front of each hill could hardly escape the eyes of the Japanese observation posts. And the hiding point chosen by Li Ziyuan, although it is on the flank of this mountain, no matter which direction he descends the mountain, it is difficult to escape the eyes of the Japanese army here.
