In the battlefield behind enemy lines in the Anti-Japanese War, there were not many ways for the Japanese army to drive straight in.

If you can't concentrate superior forces to annihilate them, you can only harass and attack, and when the enemy's supplies are insufficient, you can retreat on your own.

For the Japanese army, they usually carried their own supplies during the sweep or raid. If you can grab food and other supplies, it will naturally increase the time for operation. Otherwise, start the retreat before it runs out.

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army's method of feints to attack Zuwang or cut off the enemy's transportation lines was not very effective.

First of all, the ability to attack the fortification is insufficient, although Zuwang only has a squad of devils and more than a hundred imperial allies, but there are relatively strong fortress fortifications, which cannot be shaken by the Eighth Route Army of two companies.

Secondly, the enemy brings his own supplies and does not care much about the transport lines. Relying on a strong attack power, even if you are cut off from retreating, you can turn around and fight back.

In any case, a battalion of the Eighth Route Army, plus the guerrillas, and even counting the militia, could not resist the Japanese attack head-on, which was also due to the balance of strength, and there was no way to do it.

There is no way, it does not mean that there is no resistance at all, and the enemy is allowed to come and go freely.

fortified the walls and cleared the wilderness, organized the masses to evacuate and rebel, so that the enemy could not get supplies on the spot; Harassing attacks, constantly killing and injuring the enemy, increasing their logistical pressure.

Shen Chen was very much in favor of the latter style of play, and believed that if he fought well, he could force the enemy to end the operation as soon as possible.

You must know that the evacuation of wounded soldiers is a very big problem for the enemy who is deeply engaged in combat. It is good to say that there are few wounded soldiers, and they can move with the army; If there are too many, it will not only seriously affect the operation, but also deal a blow to morale.

Moreover, it became difficult and dangerous for two companies of the Eighth Route Army to move to the enemy's flank, so that the enemy would have to send the wounded soldiers to the Zuwang stronghold.

If the enemy wants to send troops to escort them, they will be suspected of dividing their troops, and if they do not do it well, they will be dealt a heavier blow, and there will be a situation in which they are most unwilling to see and be broken one by one.

Therefore, in the pre-war discussions held in the evening, Shen Chen put forward a proposal that killing and killing is more effective than killing, and also came up with a new type of mine manufacturing method.

Through the history of landmines, we can also see the development process from large to small. In addition to technological advances, the concept has also been greatly innovated.

After the miniaturization of mines, it was no longer necessary to have a high power that would cause death, but to emphasize the incapacitation of the enemy and the effect of damage.

Of course, this is not because people have become merciful, but because they feel that it is more cost-effective to blow up the enemy.

After research and calculation, when an enemy soldier is injured in a mine, a wounded person usually needs to be escorted by two enemy soldiers, and there may be a military doctor or hygienist to rescue and care for him.

So, a single miniature mine can attrite three or four enemy troops, at least one or two. When the enemy's wounded reach a certain number, transport, logistics and medical facilities will be overwhelmed.

Moreover, the pain and torture of the wounded in mines can also cause serious psychological pressure on other enemy troops, thus achieving the effect of disintegrating the enemy army.

If it is a high-powered mine, the enemy will be killed immediately after hitting the mine. In this way, the number of enemy attrition will not be so much.

In fact, Shen Chen didn't say it in such detail, and Company Commander Jiang and Instructor Yang, who had battlefield experience, including Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou, all understood.

Although he understood, the response was not enthusiastic, and although he gave Shen Chen praise and praise, the final result of the discussion did not include this item.

In this regard, Shen Chen had no complaints. After the meeting, Zhao Tie talked to him alone, worried that he was dissatisfied with this, Shen Chen had already said the reason.

"Fighting, it's not a joke, you can fight wherever you want, and you can get hurt if you want to." Shen Chen smiled disappreciatively and said, "Although it is better to be injured than killed, but if you continue to carry it out like this, everyone's thoughts will fluctuate, and I am afraid that you will not even be able to play the level of ordinary training." ”

Zhao Tie nodded and said with a smile: "It turns out that you have already thought it through." Originally, the fighting quality was not very high, and with the addition of rules and regulations, this battle would be difficult to fight. Actually, if you want to talk about injuries, our mines should be able to have a good effect. And the bullet and mine you mentioned are even more sharp weapons for hurting the enemy. ”

Miniaturization is indeed a trend, but it should also be implemented according to local conditions and actual conditions.

As now, it was mainly black powder that was used to make mines. If it is small, it will be a cannon battle, not to mention that it will be killed and injured.

The derivative of landmines, bullet mines, is small in size, simple in structure, can be self-made, and can be laid anywhere, so it is more difficult to prevent than ordinary mines.

All this thing needs is a bamboo barrel or wooden box larger than the diameter of the bullet, a base plate with nails, and a reloading bullet with poor accuracy, even with a jujube core and a wooden warhead, which is just as lethal.

If the bullet is soaked in human feces and horse urine for a period of time, if it is hit on the sole of the foot, the amputation is considered a good result.

Moreover, the bullet mine is designed to hit three ways, the foot plate, the thigh, and the vital point between the thighs, which is very lethal to the enemy's psychology.

If any of his companions were plotted by this kind of mine and became eunuchs, he would inevitably cast a huge shadow on the psychology of other soldiers. The root of his life is gone, and it may be worse than killing him.

Shen Chen also knew that the bullet mine was good, the materials were extensive, and the manual could also be made in large quantities, but I was afraid that it would not be needed this time.

"We're going to go out tonight, ready to harass the enemy, right?" Shen Chen felt that the larger the space, the sooner he could engage the enemy, the greater the room for maneuver, and the more damage he would inflict on the enemy, so he took the initiative to ask, "When you get to the front, even if you dig a little more pits, it is a good preparation!" ”

Zhao Tie nodded and said, "As soon as the main force withdraws, let them rest first." The guerrillas went out in two ways, one and the other to prepare here. After dinner, let's rest for a while and set off. ”

Shen Chen not only has confidence in himself, but also trusts his team. When it comes to playing with landmines, almost all of the new ones start with his team, such as jumping mines, gravel mines, and so on.

Mines have been continuously developed and transformed, increasing their power and reducing the complexity of their emplacement.

For example, the jumping thunder is now ejected with a bamboo tube, and there are sawdust and broken grass in it to buffer, so that the jumping thunder body will not be too high.

Black powder mines account for the majority, but there are also some that are loaded with explosives, as well as hand grenades, which are powerful, small in size, and easier to bury.

There are three main detonation methods: pulling, tripping, and stepping, and there are clamps, pedals, tripping ropes, strings, etc., including Shen Chen's bullet shot hundreds of meters away.

I still don't believe it! With so many mines, don't you blow up the enemy and make you dizzy?

Shen Chen may be due to self-confidence, in the face of the devil's aggressive attack, he doesn't have too much heavy and depressed mood, and it is not much different from usual.

His mentality and performance also relieved the tension of the team he led to a large extent.

"Devils are also long, and they can still be killed." Yu Baogen looked like an old qualification, reassuring the new team members, "Do you know where the guns of our guerrillas come from?" It's not like a devil killed and robbed it. Do you know how many devils our captain killed? ”

Cao Xiaobao tilted his head and glanced at this guy, and teased: "You know? You can count them all! ”

"It's not counted, it's almost gone." Yu Baogen patted the box cannon on his back and said, "I have followed the captain from the beginning to the present. If I were to count, there would be at least fifty or sixty. At least, there may be a hundred and eighty of them! ”

Regarding the number of enemies killed by Shen Chen, Cao Xiaobao also felt that it was about the same, and nodded and said: "Well, there are at least dozens of devils, and the Imperial Alliance Army is also about the same." This is not blowing, our captain is more powerful than the veterans of the main force, but she is very modest, modest. ”

"Our captain is powerful, but she doesn't seem to care much about us." One of the new team members said, "Don't you think we're too bad?" ”

Cao Xiaobao rolled his eyes and said, "Do you still need to trouble the captain for some idle things?" Besides, they are women. ”

Saying that, he pointed at Yu Baogen and teased: "Why is the captain willing to take him?" Because he is familiar with the road, he can carry and carry it. ”

Yu Baogen smiled and said indifferently: "I'm willing to help the captain carry things, and I'm willing to run around with her." What's the matter, you're red-eyed? ”

The new team member smiled and said in his heart, he also wants to be the follower of the beautiful captain, and it is estimated that many people want to.

Shen Chen was sitting in the cart at this time, enjoying the same treatment as a landmine.

Is it dangerous? It's a little bit, but it's not that serious. How can a mine without a string be detonated, other unexpected factors, it will be too small.

Fearing that it would be unsafe for the guerrillas to act alone, Company Commander Chiang sent a large squad of about a dozen fighters to accompany him. And the leader of this class is Liu Biao, the leader of the third platoon, walking next to the car and chatting with Shen Chen.

Liu Biao's third platoon recruited a lot of recruits, and his combat effectiveness declined, but he was not assigned heavy responsibilities in the previous battles, and the losses were relatively small.

The two of them are also familiar with each other, and Shen Chen is also willing to ask Liu Biao about some regular army operations and learn more experience.

Liu Biao is talking about the devil's carrier pigeon and how the main force is dealing with it.

You must know that on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, the technical level of the devils is not comparable to that of the Western powers, and there are not many transmitters. Therefore, they employ carrier pigeons to relay information between the various units.

Due to the strong ability of the Japanese carrier pigeons to send letters, this was very unfavorable to the operations of the Eighth Route Army. For this purpose, the main force usually sets up a squad of sharpshooters to deal with the pigeons before an ambush or a big battle.

The first task of this sharpshooter squad is to shoot the carrier pigeons that are released in the air, and if they are released, it means that more devils will be recruited.

Therefore, under the circumstances at that time, there was a difference in the value of carrier pigeons and devil officers, and those who hit the officers first and let the pigeons go were punished.

In addition to using sharpshooters against Japanese pigeons, the Eighth Route Army also mobilized the masses. Once, a common man was caught by the Japanese army carrying a pigeon cage, and suddenly encountered a battle, and the common people took advantage of the chaos to kill all the pigeons.

After the battle, the Eighth Route Army rewarded this brave man with eighty catties of grain. At that time, 80 catties of grain was quite precious, which shows how much the Japanese army's military pigeons made the Eighth Route Army attach great importance to it.

Not to mention, it was the first time that Shen Chen learned about the Japanese military pigeons, and it was also a long time to know.

"With Comrade Damei's marksmanship, it should be no problem to shoot down carrier pigeons." Liu Biao didn't forget to praise Shen Chen after speaking.

Shen Chen estimated that if others could beat him, he would be even more capable, even if he hadn't beaten him like this.

However, Shen Chen also thought of another point, and asked Liu Biao with a smile, "Is pigeon meat delicious?" ”

Liu Biao scratched his head, and said with a wry smile for a long time: "I haven't eaten this yet, I guess it's the same taste as a pheasant, right?" ”

Shen Chen laughed and said, "When I have the chance, I'll give you a few to taste." ”

Liu Biao was amused by this girl and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm waiting for you to give me a pigeon to taste fresh." ”

Although it was night, the people who ran and retreated still encountered several pulls on the road. By the time the guerrillas arrived at Yushuzhuang, the village was empty except for a few village cadres.

After a brief handover with the guerrillas and a brief briefing on the situation, the village cadres were evacuated.

Liu Biao arranged the food and lodging of the soldiers and discussed with the guerrilla cadres before the war, but he first sighed, "The good Zhuangzi will be destroyed soon." ”

Burning, looting, and wreaking havoc were also one of the purposes of the enemy's offensive operations. The more serious the damage, the greater the damage to the base area, the longer it takes to recover, and the more difficult the conditions for survival.

Especially now in this season, the village Zhuangzi has been burned, and the common people can't hold out in the wild for long. In order to rebuild the homeland, it will cost manpower and material resources, and the energy for developing the armed forces will be greatly reduced.

Others sighed in agreement, but Shen Chen rolled his eyes, thinking of another tactic.

In the past, landmines were buried in the field, and minefields were placed in the villages, as if they had never done so.

Since the devils don't burn and destroy the village because it is not fortified, there is nothing against the policy to plant more landmines in the village.

It's better to be broken than to be full of tiles! If you destroy my home, I will ask the dog to throw away a few more dog lives.

Moreover, according to the current level of equipment of the Japanese army, the use of dense mine arrays in the village is theoretically feasible.

Because, the bombing capabilities of the Japanese army are not so strong, and the sappers are not so many and so professional.

If there were missiles, multiple rocket launchers, and even cluster bombs that could detonate most mines at once in later generations, Shen Chen might not have used this trick.

Of course, if the enemy is attacked by mines after entering the village and does not dare to go deeper, does not dare to break into the house at will, and does not dare to set fire to and destroy it on a large scale, then will it not be able to save this Zhuangzi?

Even if the mines can't stop the enemy's destruction of Zhuangzi, it's always good to make the enemy pay some price. Is it to keep Zhuangzi to let the enemy stay comfortably, and then destroy it as he pleases?

The more Shen Chen pondered, the more he felt that he should do this, and the more he pondered, the more he felt that the enemy had not encountered such a way of fighting, and he would definitely not be guarded, and he would definitely suffer a big loss.

Perhaps, the enemy will be cautious in the future, so as to keep the property and houses of many ordinary people!
