Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan shook his head. Although there was some disappointment in his tone, he said in a rare manner without getting angry: "Two companies and even the troops of the military division have been reinforced, and they have not been able to break through the resistance of the small Japanese puppet army. Moreover, after the breakthrough, these two companies actually crowded on a mountain road to reinforce the detachment headquarters. ”

"Fortunately, I didn't encounter the devil, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. It doesn't take much for a Japanese squad with two light machine guns to cripple our two companies. Not only these two companies, but also the other units did not perform very well when they dispersed reinforcements. Although the movement is fast, most of the troops are very average when they are independent. ”

"In the absence of unified command, when the troops did not receive a unified order, they took the initiative to reinforce with the sound of gunfire as a battle order. When encountering the resistance of a small force of the Japanese puppet army, he also dared to fight and dare to fight, although it was already good, but the old horse only had courage and blood. ”

"To be honest, looking back on the first year of junior high school, we were actually very lucky. Although it cost us, we still preserved the main strength after all. It's just that the root of this result is not how good we are at fighting, but that the Japanese army has suffered some fatal wounds in its tactical deployment. ”

"In this battle, the Japanese army put the main force on the sneak attack on our headquarters. The troops scattered around us were contained by small units. We want to wait until we have concentrated our forces to eat our headquarters first, and then we are going to take advantage of the fact that our troops are approaching the headquarters and will inevitably begin to concentrate one after another, and eat our main forces in one fell swoop. ”

"Once we are really poisoned, this mode of tactical deployment of the Japanese army should be said to be quite correct, and it also hits our soft underbelly. But the most important thing is that our guard unit was not poisoned, and it did not completely lose its combat effectiveness as judged by the Japanese army. ”

"If the Japanese army does not adopt this mode of operation, but adopts the tactics of encircling points and sending reinforcements. Sneak up on our headquarters with one force, then set up an ambush around the perimeter with the main target of our reinforcements. Without the coordination of the military division and the main force, we probably don't even have the qualifications to sit here and talk. ”

"Not to mention other troops, the two companies that were reinforced on a mountain road, and a few light and heavy machine guns that fired cross-fired, were enough to wipe out their entire army on that narrow mountain road. Two companies are not a lot of troops, but if they are crammed on such a narrow mountain road, it is quite deadly. The density of the unit is enough for a long burst of light machine guns to knock out one of our squads. ”

"This time we should be glad that the Japanese army was too careless. Putting the main goal on me alone is somewhat too low. They thought we were poisoned too, and they were worried that I would run away, so they concentrated as many main forces as possible against us. ”

"I thought we were all poisoned, and we could be caught. As a result, I didn't expect that Lao Tzu was a hedgehog. Even if you can't struggle, you have to prick their mouths full of thorns. Moreover, when our friendly troops received the news of our attack, they took the initiative to reinforce us without orders from their superiors. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

"I am a person who is sick and does not violate the medical treatment, and I am not afraid of being raised by others about the shortcomings and mistakes of my own troops. As long as it's right, I'll accept it with humility. We must correct this as soon as possible. Our troops only have one radio, and the rest do not even have field telephones, and it is inconvenient to communicate and contact each other. ”

"And after the first day of the first year, Lao He and I both had a feeling. Sneak attack and counter-sneak attack operations will be a mode of our army's battle against the Japanese puppet army for quite some time. The reason is very simple, we will summarize the mistakes of this battle, and the Japanese army will also summarize it when they go back. ”

"The Taihang Mountains themselves are not rich, and the villages in the mountains are generally small. Except for some market towns in the entire Taihang Mountains, most of the villages cannot accommodate a single regiment-level unit stationed by us. The scattered garrison of the various units based in the villages will continue to exist for a long time. ”

"In this reckless Taihang Mountains, who knows how many intersecting paths there are? And the devil also knows that even if a large number of troops are concentrated, it will be difficult to capture our main force in a short period of time. The devil's strength is limited, and they concentrate a large number of troops, so they expose their ass to us. When the time comes, we just need to jump out of the outside line and stab as much as we want. ”

"But if the Japanese concentrate a small group of lightly armed forces, reinforce some mortars or 92 infantry guns, and use heavy machine guns to attack us using mountain paths, and our scattered garrisons. Instead of eating up our entire forces in one fell swoop, they resorted to several sneak attacks in batches, each time killing only one of our companies. ”

"How much blood do we have enough to put it like this? And when a warrior goes to the battlefield, the sacrifice may only be a few minutes. But we train a fighter, often for months to reach the standard. Even if we rely on military districts and military divisions, we can replenish new recruits. But the losses of veterans are irreparable in a short period of time. ”

"Old horse, I'm not alarmist. This kind of peeling tactic is even greater than the threat to us from the Japanese army's large-scale sweep. If they adopt a pick-and-go strategy, we will most likely be unable to defend ourselves. Even though our troops are stationed in close proximity, the tigers sometimes take a nap. There are only a thousand days to be a thief in this world, but there is no reason to prevent a thief for a thousand days. ”

"Therefore, I think that in addition to sweeping and counter-sweeping operations, the next combat mode between us and the Japanese army should be to prevent the Japanese army from using small forces, adopting a piecemeal approach, and targeting our scattered garrison troops to sneak attack and then leave."

"We rely on the people of Taihang Mountain, but the devils also have a large number of traitors who work for them. These local snakes, although on the battlefield, are not our opponents. But it is impossible to prevent spying on intelligence in private and secretly attacking us. This poisoning incident was caused by these dog traitors. ”

"Devils can use traitors to poison us, with their character of not winning on the battlefield, but doing everything in private. It is not impossible to use traitors who are familiar with the local situation to avoid our cordon with a small path. ”

"Hospitalized these days, I didn't think about anything. Thinking about all the experiences of this battle, I have a feeling through the past few days of pondering. That is, the Japanese army will expand a large number of puppet armies in the next step, especially hardcore traitors like Wang Tieshi, and local snake armies such as Liu Kaishan's plainclothes team. in order to strengthen the infiltration of our base areas and control over the areas they occupy. ”

"This poisoning incident, the Jedi is not an isolated incident. If the devils use traitors to poison, in addition to taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain and people's conditions, and even having relatives in our base area. It is estimated that there is another point, that is, to force these puppet armies to completely become a dead knot with us. ”

"Let them want to be rebelled by us, but they don't have a chance. Because those traitors understand that the more their blood debt, there will be no retreat in the fight against us. This is different from the previous devils who just used them to act as cannon fodder and shields. The devils are going to use China to contain China, and use the puppet army to deal with us, so that they can free up their hands. ”

"If this happens, there is a great chance that our troops will fight alone in a company because they are dispersed. When our various units are under the division of the Japanese puppet army, whether or not the mistakes of the first battle of the first day of the new year can be avoided has become the primary consideration of those of us who are military and political commanders. ”

"And you know my temper, if someone stabs me once, I have to stab me back ten times. When someone bites me, I have to tear off a piece of flesh from them. Besides, being so passive is not a solution to the problem. Come and don't be rude, if the devil can come, we can also go. ”

"The devils not only have air superiority, but also traitors who are familiar with the local situation can be used, and can even use a lot of money to bribe the common people to provide them with intelligence. In order to deal with us, the devil has always done everything. What happened to us this time is definitely a lesson from the past. ”

"Those spies on the surface are easy to handle, but it is difficult for us to find out those hidden traitors who lurk among the common people and receive the salary of devils in a short period of time. In addition, under the terrain of the Shangdang Plain, it is easy for our large troops to expose the target. If we want to give the Japanese a way to come and not be rude, it is more appropriate to organize small troops to go deep behind enemy lines. ”

"In the previous Changzhi operation, Liu Lianming's reconnaissance company did a good job of going deep behind enemy lines. I think that for a period of time to come, we should still adopt the method of using companies and platoons as the backbone and incorporating some reinforcement of firepower to infiltrate the Japanese-occupied areas for a period of time to come. This also requires us to strengthen the individual activities and combat capabilities of our troops. ”

"But this kind of plan is more demanding for us now. The troops are required to be able to scatter them, but they can also be withdrawn at any time. It's not the kind of pre-made plan that specifies the recovery of the assembly point, and there is no problem with our troops in that way. Instead, when other friendly and neighboring troops had an unexpected situation, they took the initiative to quickly retreat after receiving the news. ”

"It is even possible to use two companies as a formation and fight separately without the command of a higher authority. That is to say, it is necessary to use the company platoon as an organization, not only to be able to survive and fight independently, but also to be able to grow and develop. What Lao Tzu has to do is to release a group of Sun monkeys and go to the stomach of the princess of the iron fan to make trouble in the heavenly palace, and it is definitely not one. ”

"The independent survival and combat capability of units at the company and platoon level must be greatly strengthened. Before, we didn't have a battalion-level structure, and we can't blame the troops for this situation. However, since the higher authorities have decided to organize the battalion structure this time, a similar situation must not occur again. ”

"I discussed with Lao He, and the next training will be based on this model. In particular, in the case of disrupting the structure, the aspect of mixed operations. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the training of cadres and squad leaders. Your old horse's task is to do a good job of ideological work, to make the soldiers understand that in addition to their own combat squad, the entire unit is their collective. ”

Taking advantage of Ma Yongcheng's arrival today, Li Ziyuan brought out all his thoughts. For him, both of them were his closest comrades-in-arms and cadres of his own troops. For Ma Yongcheng, who is the chief official of political work, it is still beneficial to know these things earlier, and it will also allow them to cooperate with the development of their next work.
