Although Shen Chen has tried his best to be detailed, like ranging, estimating wind speed and wind direction still requires diligent practice and continuous accumulation of experience in order to make accurate judgments.

Moreover, there is no need for Shen Chen to teach too often. The shooting knowledge he taught would be recorded by Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie, and it would soon be printed as a teaching material, which would be gradually promoted from the guerrillas to the militia.

In fact, this is also Shen Chen's original intention and intention. Spread knowledge and skills to more people, so that more people can improve their fighting qualities, so that the enemy can suffer more blows.

The main force sent to teach the stabbing technique was two veterans, and at first they listened casually, probably thinking that the shooting instruction of a local army was nothing worth learning, could it still surpass the main force?

But listening to this, the faces of the two veterans became solemn, and their expressions became very serious.

When Shen Chen finished speaking and began to demonstrate and answer questions to the team members, the two exchanged a few words, and then whispered something to Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie.

At this time, as dusk approached, the wind became stronger, and the direction of the wind changed.

Shen Chen took this opportunity to point to the fluttering strips of cloth again, and combined with the actual situation, he told the team members about the skills of observation and judgment.

"Today's talk is already advanced shooting knowledge, remember it if you can remember it, and don't worry if you can't remember it." Shen Chen saw that the expressions of some of the team members were not very right, so he said loudly: "Practice the previous basic content first, and when you can hit the target at a distance of two hundred meters, it is not too late to learn and master it." ”

"Will you teach it later?" A member of the team asked tentatively.

Shen Chen smiled and said, "Even if I don't have time, someone else will come to teach." You can rest assured of this. ”

The team members breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their expressions.

After the lecture, they were dismissed and returned to the village. Shen Chen was called over by Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou again.

"Just give them a copy of the record." Shen Chen was reluctant to move, and he didn't regard going to the main force to teach shooting lessons as something to show off and be proud of, "I still want to relax for two days!" ”

"You girl, you're lazy again." Lao Zhou's mouth fell, but there was a smile on his face, "It seems too insignificant to record it for others, it's too perfunctory." ”

Zhao Tie nodded yes and said: "The main force is enthusiastic about us, why is it our turn to make some efforts, so we will push back?" ”

"You still go and stay for two days, can you have less delicious food and drink?" Lao Zhou took out the temptation offensive again, and said with a smile: "I also know that you have money in your pocket, change to a big town, and you can spend whatever you want, unlike our small village." ”

Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "People didn't invite me, but the two veterans had this meaning, I ran over to teach others, why is my face so big?" ”

Zhao Tie laughed and said to Lao Zhou: "Don't say it, Da Mei is thoughtful." We've really neglected this. ”

Lao Zhou stroked his forehead and said with a smile: "Then tell those two comrades, our big plum, thin-skinned, you can't go without a red invitation." ”

Shen Chen pursed his lips and said, "Ask for leave tomorrow, go to Zhangzhuang to catch a market, and buy some daily necessities." ”

Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou exchanged glances, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you a day off." Anyway, it will take a day or two to ask the above for instructions, and then officially invite you to go. ”

…………

In the years of war, the situation is changing rapidly, not to mention a day, even an hour, and after a minute or two, something may break the plan.

Shen Chen asked for leave, but before he could wait for the next day, news came from the night that Zuwang's enemy had moved, and the guerrillas were on alert.

Regardless of whether the enemy will really come or not, after entering the state of alert, Shen Chen naturally can't go to the market to buy things.

At noon the next day, another order was issued, and the guerrillas were all dispatched and rushed to the village of Little Elm before dark, ready to cooperate with the main force in the battle.

The militias of the villages also received orders from the district and began to assemble. They can't fight, but they can carry a stretcher and transport some supplies, which is still much better than the common people.

What's more, letting the militia feel the atmosphere of the battlefield is also good for their growth.

After lunch, the guerrillas took a short break and then drove out of Chen Village and marched towards Little Elm Village.

Shen Chen also knew a little more specific information, he was still Zu Wang's enemy, and he couldn't bear the stalemate and took the initiative to attack.

In fact, with Zu Wang's enemy strength, a squadron of devils, and more than 200 imperial troops, may not have much offensive ability.

However, the situation has changed, largely because the guerrillas have carried out several operations in enemy-occupied areas, which have greatly annoyed and angered the enemy in the county.

According to information provided by Matsumoto, the anti-Japanese forces who carried out the sabotage had fled back to the bandit area, including the guy who assassinated Kono with a cold gun.

Part of Matsumoto's intelligence was accurate, it was reconnoitred; The other part is speculative, based on the investigation of the scene.

It has to be said that Matsumoto's on-site investigation was very meticulous and the inferences were accurate.

You know, the same sniper, but there are also slight differences and differences in action. Some are unconsciously habits that leave characteristic traces.

Shen Chen was no exception, some of the bullets he used were processed. If the warhead is captured, it will be possible to detect its same characteristics.

The Japanese were very vindictive, and the information provided by Matsumoto undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

You must know that the death of Kono Xiong caused the other devils to be reprimanded and punished to a greater or lesser extent. Firmly support the Zuwang stronghold, and there is also the idea of implementing punishment nearby.

Therefore, the enemy simply replaced it with the Imperial Cooperative Army, and spelled out a squadron of devils, and suddenly drove into Zuwang. Then, with more than 200 devils and more than 100 imperial troops, they rushed to the base area.

This time, the enemy adopted the tactics of concentrating forces and driving straight in. This is also a lesson learned after suffering a big loss, and I dare not divide my troops, lest I be defeated one by one.

The sudden increase in the enemy's strength and the sudden offensive action put a lot of pressure on the main forces stationed in the base area, which were mainly responsible for monitoring and pinning down the enemy in Zuwang.

The Eighth Route Army, which has a battalion in total, may barely get to a draw if it fights with a squadron of devils. But the number of enemies has nearly doubled at once, and it is extremely difficult to resist.

Speaking of which, this time the intelligence came a little late, which created a situation of passive response.

But it's no wonder, there is no radio, and there is no flying pigeon to pass on the book, the devil takes a car to Zuwang, relying on human legs to deliver the letter, how can it be in time?

You must know that the larger the operation, the longer the enemy's preparation time, the more obvious the signs, and the easier it is for intelligence to leak.

And it is this kind of small-scale, within the county, there are not many troops, the duration is not long, although the damage will not be very great, but it is indeed difficult to guard closely.

Fortunately, the main force did its best to block the enemy's advance regardless of casualties, and although the time was not very long, it was enough to send people to quickly transmit the news and inform the people of the villages to evacuate.

When the guerrillas arrived at Little Elm Village, they saw the people of the village evacuating. To be precise, it was a panic escape.

The guerrillas were also a little at a loss, standing on the side of the road at the entrance of the village, watching a group of old and weak women hurrying out of the village, holding crying children, carrying chickens, and carrying burdens.

Lao Zhou saw that something was wrong, stepped forward and grabbed an old man, and asked tightly, "Uncle, what are you running?" ”

The old man said in a panic: "The tree on the mountain has fallen, and the devil is coming!" After saying that, Lao Zhou broke away and ran away again.

It was too sudden, and the main forces were still fighting in front of them, gaining time; The intelligence also said that the devil had not yet entered the base area, how could it have arrived in a blink of an eye?

Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou also understood that it was precisely because of the surprise that it caused panic among the people in the village.

At the entrance of the village, people ran around with their livestock, including militiamen carrying guns.

Zhao Tie immediately felt upset, and blood poured straight to his head. He ran over to block the intersection and shouted, "It's the militia who stay, look at you, what you look like, you're scared." ”

"Run, it's too late!"

"If you don't run again, the devil will block even people and livestock."

"The devil is coming soon, and you won't run?"

People are babbling.

"Who said it was coming soon? Who saw it? Zhao Tie grabbed a young man with his head bowed and reprimanded: "There is still our team in front, and our guerrillas can also resist for a while." If the devil really comes, it's too late to run after the gun goes off, but you're still a militiaman, when will you become so timid? ”

The militiaman lowered his head in embarrassment and muttered in defense, "But they all run!" ”

"You watch others run, and others watch you run!" Zhao Tie said angrily: "The militia is not allowed to leave, call your captain." ”

The common people also ran in a disorderly manner, and the guerrillas, under the command of Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie, rushed to the north entrance of the village. Because it was the news tree over there that fell, if the situation is true, the devil should have come from that side.

As soon as I came to the entrance of the village, I saw that the militia of the village suddenly jumped up with laughter, pointed and shouted: "Look, the little tree on the mountain is erected again, it's all right!" It's all right! ”

Everyone looked up, and sure enough, they saw that two false trees on the mountain in the distance were standing again. Whether it was the militia or the common people, they couldn't help but breathe out happily at this time and wiped their sweat all over their heads.

Zhao Tie's face turned blue and led the team to continue walking outside the village. Not too far from the village, I met the militia captain and several militiamen who were a little angry.

It turned out that this false alarm was due to the fact that there was a mistake in the village in front, the situation was tense, and the people were also nervous. The sentry was a timid and inexperienced man, and when he looked up and saw a group of men and horses turning, he didn't look closely, so he put down the small tree, and later realized that it was his own army.

"I lost my temper at them, the mountain whistle is the eyes and ears, how can I be so irresponsible!" The militia captain rolled his eyes in anger.

"Your whistle is enough." Lao Zhou said angrily: "I know that if you look at the hill in front of you, if you put down two trees at once, you have to see the shadow of the devil!" ”

"These boys have to be trained hard." The militia captain glared at several militiamen next to him, and said angrily.

Zhao Tie opened his mouth, and then held back his anger. They are all croppers, and whoever can pick up a gun is a soldier. The devil is vicious, everyone is afraid, and it is easy to do wrong things when you are nervous, which is also inevitable.

Although it was a false alarm, Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou briefly discussed it, and they did not wait in Little Elm Village. Instead, he led two squads to continue forward, not only to receive the troops, but also to find out the situation as soon as possible and get the latest information.

Now the guerrillas have five squads, each with about 30 people, and they have grown and grown again.

Shen Chen has a lot of people, but he is not tired, and he doesn't care about some trivial things, so he lets Cao Xiaobao and Zheng Hongda, the two deputy captains, take care of it.

As the most capable individual in the guerrilla team, as well as the squad with the best record, Shen Chen naturally led the team to follow Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou forward.

"The militia can't stand it, the idea in the district is very good, I want them to gather and exercise, I think it is better to protect the evacuation and retreat of the people in the village." Zhao Tie frowned as he walked and said: "They have guns in their hands, and when the masses see it, they may have a bottom in their hearts, and they won't blow up the camp and run around." ”

Lao Zhou pondered for a moment and said: "They are indeed still hairy, and it is uneasy to stand guard and sentry." But we can't leave them alone. Aren't we guerrillas the same at the beginning? ”

Zhao Tie snorted and said, "But if you look at their usual appearance, they just think about fighting when they can put their guns, and they all look unambiguous." It's good now, I haven't seen the devil yet, and I'm numb; When I saw the devil, I might not even be able to pull the big bolt. ”

"Take your time!" Lao Zhou said with a pleasant face: "They have no combat experience, so we must also be patient." In the future, if we train them more, they will grow up just as the main force did to us. ”

Zhao Tie also realized that he was anxious, there was no militia before, and the defense of the villages had to involve the energy of the guerrillas; Now there are militias, and they themselves complain that they are not good enough.

To be sure, there are militias in various villages, and they have done a lot of work such as standing guard and guarding, interrogating and inspecting, etc., so how can they completely deny it because of a single mistake?

The guerrillas rushed to the top of the hill, where the news tree was placed, and made a simple defensive guard. There was not much time, so I saw a group of people retreating.

It was Jiang Lian who retreated, and it seemed that he had just gone through the battle, and the casualties were not small.

Seeing that the guerrillas had already been armed, Company Commander Jiang and Instructor Yang were very relieved that this local unit had grown so fast that it was able to become a competent helper of the main force.

"The other two companies of our battalion are still fighting to buy time for the evacuation of the masses." Company Commander Jiang didn't even bother to drink water, so he began to introduce the situation, "The mission of our company and the guerrillas is to continue to harass and attack the enemy from tomorrow. The other two companies were to open the main road and go around to the enemy's rear. or make a feint attack on Zuwang, or cut off its supply lines and force the enemy to end the operation......"
