Chapter 56: Broaden your mind

Team Zhao and Director Zhou, this is the title of Shen Chen after discussing with Lao Zhou, and they have no size, but they still seem respectful.

Of course, this is not the main thing, and Lao Zhou is not entangled in seniority and title, just a little joking ridicule.

Shen Chen's suggestion was also adopted, and two careful and steady team members were temporarily assigned to him to teach him the technique of modifying grenades.

In fact, it is very simple to modify, but there are dangers, you must be careful and steady, and the reckless guy should not get involved in this job.

The reason why Shen Chen attaches so much importance to landmines is really because, according to the current level of equipment and training of the guerrillas, mines are the simplest and most effective choice to deal with the Japanese devils.

You must know that in the face of strong enemy aggression, if you want to kill and injure the enemy but do not want to be killed, the best weapon may be the kind of device that can automatically kill the enemy and does not need to be controlled.

Traps that can be set in the jungle, for example, are an "automatic" weapon. Moreover, history has shown that this primitive weapon is also not insignificant.

In plains or mountains where there are no jungles, landmines (roadside bombs, more familiar to later generations) became a better option.

Historically, landmines have played a significant role in the eight-year war of resistance because of their many advantages.

First of all, it is inexpensive, and the materials required for its manufacture are nothing more than explosives (or gunpowder) and cast iron, or even stone clay pots and glass bottles instead of iron.

Of course, this kind of homemade landmine is not very powerful and may not kill anyone.

But it's also easy to do – sprinkling some scraps of copper and iron, or even sharp rocks, on the ground where the mines have been planted can increase its power.

Secondly, the safety and efficiency of mines is obvious. Because after planting a mine, there is no need to send someone to guard it, so there is usually no problem of fleeing after the mine is stepped on.

And for the side that was blown up by mines, the lethality of mines is, of course, effective. Because, the killing and killing of landmines are all close to death. If you don't get on it, you can't get out of it.

Although the power of home-made mines is limited, and most of them do not appear to be blown apart, if they are not killed, they dare not bear to have their arms and legs removed.

In addition, landmines have the advantage of being difficult to prevent and have a wide range of uses, which is a must-have for home travel and for all ages.

The modified grenade is satisfactory in terms of power, and there are a variety of applications such as pull wires, pedals, clips, etc., which can be used in actual combat.

As for the quantity, Shen Chen didn't think about making too much. This is also one of the wonderful things about mine warfare, that is, the enemy does not know how many you have, even if you only bury one, you will be afraid after being bombed, and your actions will be seriously affected.

Effective hysteresis, and this alone will give the guerrillas a longer time to react. And the enemy did not dare to advance in a long and rapid manner, which was also very beneficial to the transfer of the common people.

Therefore, Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie also figured it out, and placed high hopes on mine warfare, and also gave Shen Chen strong support.

When it was almost noon, Shen Chen and his two helpers had already made more than thirty instantaneous grenades and marked them.

Hearing the noisy voices of people outside, Shen Chen and the others packed up these dangerous goods and came out to see the excitement.

It turned out that the personnel organized by the district committee transported a batch of processed pedals and clamps, and transported some grain and materials back.

The fleeing masses are gathering more and more in Zhangzhuang, Wangjiawa and other places, because they are relatively safe, and the problem of food alone makes the district committee choke enough.

The guerrillas captured Chen Village, and the seized materials, coupled with the grain from the fortified wall near Chen Village, were able to be taken out, which was regarded as alleviating the urgent need.

In addition to delivering the materials needed for mine warfare, Shi Deguang, a senior district official, personally led the team and mobilized 178 young people to enrich the strength of the guerrillas.

In this way, the guerrillas, minus the attrition of casualties, amounted to an increase in the strength of more than one squadron.

The captured guns and ammunition are fully capable of being expanded, and even have a surplus, ready to be drawn to the militias of the villages that will be established.

Although the guerrillas suffered casualties, they were still exhilarating and exciting compared to the results of the battle.

Shi Deguang brought people here, as well as consolation goods, but homespun shoes and a few chickens, but this simple reward still made the guerrillas proud.

Shen Chen didn't like this kind of lively scene very much, so he went to the room first, only said that he had a task, ate three bowls of hot noodle soup, went back to the house to clean up and slipped away.

Out of Chen Village, Shen Chen estimated the direction, followed the road, and walked directly to the small bridge where he had fought.

Zhao Tie and the people hadn't come back yet, and Shen Chen felt the need to see it with his own eyes. If the bridge is broken, Zuwang's enemies will have to take a detour when they think of Chen Village, leaving plenty of buffer time.

On the contrary, the guerrillas had to be on constant alert in Chen Village, and they had to keep one eye open even when they slept.

After several successive battles, seventy or eighty enemies had been eliminated piecemeal, and the defenders of Zuwang were no longer very sufficient in terms of troops.

In Shen Chen's mind, Zu Wang's enemy wanted to counterattack and remove the remaining men and horses, and the number of troops that could be dispatched was at most sixty or seventy. Of course, if there are devils in this, although there are not many, he doesn't dare to take it lightly.

It's not that he's afraid that the devil will hurt himself, but what Shen Chen is worried about is the devil's injury to the guerrillas.

You must know that in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the devil's marksmanship was very powerful, and his fighting quality was also high, and the gap with the guerrillas was not one or two levels.

Let's put it this way, compared with Shen Chen's level, the devil is definitely inferior, but the gap is not too obvious, and it can pose a big threat to Shen Chen.

And what Shen Chen relies on to win is advanced sniper skills and perverted eyesight.

In the absence of a scope, the target at a distance of three hundred meters does not look half the size of a crosshair. And within three hundred meters, even Shen Chen had to be carefully camouflaged and carefully deal with the devil's bullets.

What about the guerrillas, the combat distance should be within 100 meters, such a huge gap, how to fight with the devils?

Shen Chen thought as he walked, and before he knew it, he had walked a few miles. The figure in front of him swayed, and he vigilantly looked for concealment and hid.

In the binoculars, Shen Chen recognized the person on the other side, it was Zhao Tie who came back with the team members.

Zhao Tie saw Shen Chen flashing out from the side of the road, but he was only slightly startled, and walked over quickly.

"How did you get out on your own?" Zhao Tie waved his hand, and in response, he asked, "Didn't you arrange Baogen and Xiaobao?" ”

Shen Chen smiled, waited for Zhao Tie to get closer, and said, "I'll take a look casually, so I didn't call them." ”

Zhao Tie stopped and said, "The bridge is broken, and the guard post has been set up, do you still want to go and see it?" ”

Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "Then there's no need for it." Tomorrow I want to cross the river and go to Zuwang to reconnoitre. ”

Zhao Tie nodded and said, "Zu Wang's enemy is estimated to have to send someone out to contact, and the situation in Chen Village will not be kept secret for long." ”

In the War of Resistance Against Japan, the devil's communication was lackluster. Because there were few radio stations, most of the strongholds could only rely on wired telephones, and the marching and fighting relied on carrier pigeons.

And Chen Cun and Zu Wang did not have a telephone line connection, and no one escaped to report the news, but this could not be kept secret for a long time, and Zhao Tie did not dare to take chances.

"Have you discussed Zu Wang's enemy with Director Zhou, how are you going to deal with it?" Shen Chen took off his mask and breathed in the cold air.

Zhao Tie shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If the enemy does not build and stabilize the stronghold of Zuwang, the guerrillas can't do it, and the regular soldiers can't do it." The enemy may also wish to go on siege, using strong forts and superior firepower to inflict heavy casualties. ”

After a pause, Zhao Tie continued: "So, we can't touch it directly, we have to think of other ways." I haven't really figured it out yet. ”

Shen Chen followed Zhao Tie's gestures, walked slowly side by side with him, and said thoughtfully: "Team Zhao, have you ever heard the phrase 'there are no second-rate soldiers, only commanders who do not enter the stream'?" ”

Zhao Tie pondered for a moment and said, "I don't understand, you girl just say it, don't beat around the bush." ”

Shen Chen raised his eyebrows and explained: "Even if he is an excellent commander, the plan he comes up with is unexpected, and he can't think of it, but whoever executes it is a soldier!" If you give him something old, weak, sick and disabled, let alone war. Even if he can carry a gun, even if he is strong, then does he have to be blind? ”

Zhao Tie looked at Shen Chen thoughtfully, stretched out his hand and motioned for him to continue.

"Here's the key." Shen Chen casually kicked away a piece of snow on the road and said, "What kind of soldiers are the guerrillas, the farmer who carries the gun, has fought such a few sneaky battles, and the bullets he shoots can be counted with a slap. ”

"Are you saying that the guerrillas can't pose a threat to Zuwang at all, they can only watch the enemy repair and stabilize, and then invade step by step?" Zhao Tie frowned and asked tentatively.

Shen Chen shook his head and said, "Actually, this is a misunderstanding. If you just stare at the stronghold, you will feel that there is no way to defend passively; Or they will rush and take risks. But if you want to broaden your thinking, you will feel that there are still many solutions. ”

Shen Chen glanced at Zhao Tie, and in the face of the gaze that was being cast, he let out a long breath lightly and said, "Since there are almost no direct and effective means, let's ignore the stronghold for now." It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let him go! In this way, the line of thought turned out of a dead end and suddenly opened up. ”

Zhao Tie couldn't help laughing, "This sentence can also inspire you?" ”

"Hehe, you think it's funny, but that's how strange things are." Shen Chen also laughed and said, "Now the Zuwang stronghold is very strong, like an iron head, and it is about to arch in little by little. We can't beat the enemy's iron skull, but what about his neck, his body, is there really no way for the enemy to start if there is no flaw? ”

"Neck, body?" Zhao Tie thought for a while, and after a while, he was a little puzzled about the way out, "You mean the road connecting the stronghold?" ”

Shen Chen smiled and continued to explain: The stronghold is an iron head, the main road connecting is the neck, and the surrounding villages controlled by the stronghold are likened to a body by Shen Chen.

At this glance, the enemy's weakness was exposed, the forces were insufficient, and the roads and the villages under their control were very weakly defended.

"You can trap or break the devil's stronghold." Shen Chen smiled evilly and said, "You fix yours, I'll beat mine, don't be led by the enemy." If the enemy is out of the stronghold, then we will weaken him with mines and cold guns; Take advantage of the characteristics of the familiar terrain and drag the enemy around, and destroy him one by one. ”

Zhao Tie smiled and nodded, and said, "The devils in the stronghold should not be taken lightly, and I am afraid that you are the only one who wants to deal with them." Or by sneaky means, such as landmines. ”

"I'm the best at shooting black guns." Shen Chen was quite confident in this, and said: "You can lure the enemy out of the stronghold, or ambush, or lure the enemy to step on mines." ”

Zhao Tie laughed twice and said, "This is another new use of landmines, leading the enemy to step on it." ”

"Shoot cold, plant mines. Don't let the enemy sleep peacefully at night, beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers. Shen Chen's bad water couldn't stop bubbling up, "intercepting the enemy's communications troops and convoys on the road; Chop his phone line ......"

Zhao Tie looked at Shen Chen with a smile, this bad girl has a lot of ghost eyes. But why is it that the worse she is, the happier she is?

Shen Chen continued: "Sending team members to disguise themselves as ordinary people and collect intelligence is more conducive to fighting the enemy. Well, you can also disguise yourself as a puppet army and a devil, we've all done it. Depending on the specific situation and conditions, we should not stick to conventional tactics, so that we can give the enemy a headache. ”

Zhao Tie couldn't help but add: "The devils' marksmanship is very accurate, and the guerrillas should try to avoid fighting them head-on." Be more discreet and cautious......"

Words are the key to happiness.

Shen Chen and Zhao Tie said as they walked, and as soon as their minds were broadened, a vivid battle picture was revealed.

There are still quite a lot of ways to deal with devils and enemies in strongholds, and the means are diverse. In a word, regardless of whether it is yin or not, it is the last word to destroy the enemy.

The village could already be seen in the distance, and Zhao Tie suddenly said: "I think about the things I don't understand, but now it's clear." I'm afraid that the main force can't take the enemy's stronghold, so let's not be blind. He shook his head slowly, and suddenly smiled at Shen Chen: "Xiaochen, why don't you be a team leader, I can see you." ”

Shen Chen was stunned for a moment. Then he shook his head and smiled: "I said that I am a woman, and I don't know anything about commanding wars." If you want to talk about killing devils and traitors, you don't have to say it, I'm good at this. But if you want to lead the troops, you might as well spare me! ”

"Experience may be lacking, but people are growing." Zhao Tie smiled and persuaded: "No one is born to command, they all learn!" I see that you have a lot of ghosts, and you are also the first to say, you will definitely do it. ”

Safety first, bloodshed and sacrifice can be avoided, fighting devils is not afraid of death, but only by living can we destroy the enemy more.

Shen Chen hesitated, not knowing if his purpose was suitable, and whether his casual relaxation would have a bad impact on the players.
