What is the essence of guerrilla warfare, if it is highly summed up, is two words "flexible". Flexible action, flexible thinking, avoiding the real and attacking the false, bullying the weak and fearing the hard.

Therefore, Shen Chen had no opinion on Zhao Tie's decision. If you keep circling around this area, you may be surrounded or targeted by the enemy one day.

After a few infiltrated battles, the squad already had some special operations implications.

Although this is too far from the standard in Shen Chen's heart, it can minimize the losses of the squad to the greatest extent, and it is possible for these experienced team members to teach others in the future and become commanders who are accustomed to this kind of tactics.

To be precise, the members of the squad are the tinder. Whether you continue to work in the guerrillas, join the regular army, or become a militia in the future, you will have a different quality.

The detachment withdrew into the mountains and forests, without stopping, and returned directly to the camp. After lighting a fire and cooking and resting for two hours, the detachment set off overnight and moved towards the base area.

They carried a lot of supplies, mainly guns and ammunition, and the rest were temporarily hidden in the secret camp. Although there were two big animals snatched from He Jingtang's family, each team member also carried two or three guns on their backs, or even more, before they could all be transported away.

"Carry it well!" Shen Chen reprimanded and hung three more guns around Sasaki's neck.

Sasaki's body was pressed down, and he regained his balance with a sigh, but he didn't dare to say anything, and continued to walk forward.

This little devil can also see that there are all this woman's subordinates around, and they all listen to her, and they know that there is no sympathy at all by looking at their faces.

There are also those two bad guys who want to cut off their eggs, and they look at him from time to time, and their eyes are not good, so scared that Sasaki doesn't even dare to fart.

Shen Chen didn't have to carry a gun, even if he gave it to her, some of his subordinates rushed to share it. Walking next to Sasaki with a relaxed body, Shen Chen was still chatting with him. Of course, on the surface, it looks like I'm learning Japanese.

Sasaki is honest and answers questions when he asks, but he is getting more and more surprised in his heart.

Are there really the smartest people in the world? Sasaki didn't believe it before, but now, he was almost certain that the young woman in front of him was.

In fact, it was impossible for Sasaki to know that Shen Chen had long been able to speak Japanese. It's just that when his identity changes, he has to hide it and find a suitable reason.

It's obviously not possible to learn Japanese all the way. Shen Chen knew that he still had patience to contact Sasaki a few more times, so that his Japanese ability could be gradually revealed.

Shen Chen played his own little abacus, walked all the way, and said all the way, when the sky was slightly white, the team had already come to the bottom of the cliff.

The cliff is always manned, and when the code is met, the rope and the hanging basket are lowered.

When the team went up to the top of the cliff, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Now that I'm in the base, I can't help but feel at ease.

After traveling more than ten miles of mountain roads, the team rushed to the transit camp, and the sun had risen by this time.

After boiling water and hot rice, the squad filled their stomachs, and then lay down to rest, and they were really tired after a day and a night of trekking and fighting.

Shen Chen and Yang Ye received special preferential treatment and slept in a small wooden house.

During the war years, such conditions were already good. At least there is no other people's snoring like thunder, gnashing teeth, farting, and chirping.

This big sleep, until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, before the team members came to greet them.

Lao Zhou, who got the news, sent people to send cars to pick up materials and personnel, and several large cars saved their tired legs and feet from walking, and the speed was also much faster.

At dusk, the team entered Chen Village, which was considered to be the real arrival home. Although there were no gongs and drums to greet them, the joy of the team members was obvious when they saw familiar people and scenes, and there were more words and laughter.

Although the conditions were limited, in order to welcome the team returning from the expedition, Lao Zhou still made people prepare.

It was nothing more than a few chickens bought from ordinary people's homes, mixed with mushrooms and potatoes, stewed in two large pots, and baked white* flour cakes, but this also made the team feel warm.

During the meal, Lao Zhou accompanied him and introduced the recent situation by the way.

After listening to this, Zhao Tie and the others knew that there were still some reasons why the action was so smooth.

The devil obviously refused to give up Zuwang, the nail that drove into the base area, and in the past few days, he has increased his troops one after another. Now, Zu Wang probably already has a squadron of devils, plus more than 200 imperial troops.

Tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall is a method that devils are accustomed to and are reluctant to do. With more enemies in Zuwang, the strength of the defenders in the enemy-occupied area will inevitably weaken, which will be very beneficial to the actions of the small detachment.

In particular, this last operation was actually very risky.

Of course, Zhao Tie and others also constantly decided their next move based on the confessions of the prisoners, and the enemy's empty strength also made the squad dare to continue to attack.

"After Zuwang's enemy increased his troops, he carried out several sorties, and three of the surrounding villages and towns were occupied, but fortunately the masses withdrew, leaving only an empty place for the enemy."

Lao Zhou took a puff of cigarette, and then said slowly: "Because of the cold weather, the enemy cannot quickly build artillery towers and pillboxes; It was also very difficult to build roads and dig blockade ditches, and the enemy retreated to Zuwang. ”

Zhao Tie thought for a moment and said, "Is the enemy trying to use the rapid attack so that we can't gain a firm foothold around Zuwang, and wait for the spring flowers to bloom before making a big move?" ”

"After analyzing and researching, we believe that the enemy's intentions should be like this." Lao Zhou said: "The enemy's weakness is the lack of troops, which can only be compensated for by maneuver and firepower. Our weakness lies in our weakness in attacking fortifications, and our inability to shake the fortified strongholds. ”

"It's cold, and it's not good for us." Zhao Tie groaned and said: "It is more time-consuming and labor-intensive to dig pits and bury mines, and it is not easy to resettle the evacuated villagers. ”

Lao Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "That's true. But for us, it is also a good situation to be able to stalemate with the enemy. Of course, this can only be temporary. ”

In war, the weaker side is passive, naturally attacking more and defending less; It is also natural that the stronger side will also find ways to take the initiative to attack in an attempt to eliminate the other side.

Therefore, Lao Zhou's idea is not exaggerated. If there is time for peaceful development, the guerrillas, the militia, and even the regular army will be trained and armed to grow stronger.

This was not a passivity, but the balance of forces between us and the enemy at that time, and the situation at that time.

In particular, local units such as guerrillas and militias are simply not capable of engaging in a frontal battle with the enemy. The sweep of devils can only use sparrow warfare, mine warfare, tunnel warfare, siege warfare, sabotage warfare and other disturbance tactics.

Nowadays, landmines are being given more and more attention as a weapon that is easy to build, safe and efficient. This is also Shen Chen's original intention, and it is the situation he hopes to appear.

This is because a tactical theory must be combined with reality in order to be able to stand up and be convincing. And the tactical actions that come naturally, given names and norms, will be remembered and widely implemented.

In addition to mines, of course, there are other weapons, but they are not as effective as mines.

You must know that the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was extremely arduous. The vast numbers of militia and self-defense forces in the base areas have been active in the vast battlefields behind enemy lines, relying on high mountains and dense forests, rivers and lakes, plains and tunnels, and green gauze tents, and have set up battlefields everywhere to kill the enemy.

Primitive broadswords, pikes, axes, water, fire, and stones in nature have all become their weapons to kill the enemy.

These once simple and cowardly croppers, with astonishing courage and infinite wisdom, staged vivid and lively dramas on the stage of resisting foreign invasions.

Zhao Tie said while eating, and again talked about the activities of the detachment in the enemy-occupied area. The successive victories and the large number of seizures made the atmosphere of the conversation cheerful.

"Good fellow, more than a hundred guns, and a crooked handle, enough to form a company!" Lao Zhou felt very excited, with these weapons and ammunition, the armed forces in the base area would be greatly enhanced, and the heaviness of Zuwang's stronghold in his heart would also be reduced a lot.

"Copper-headed, iron-waisted, tofu-belly, this is the current situation of the enemy's guards." Zhao Tie said: "Don't look at the enemy holding on to the stronghold of Zuwang, the weakness of the occupied area is difficult to solve. ”

Lao Zhou nodded in agreement and said, "Despite this, don't be too frequent, and you still have to collect enough intelligence before each operation." ”

"Intelligence does matter." Zhao Tie said: "We are also constantly adjusting and changing the plan according to the confessions of the captives. Speaking of captives, the devils caught this time are very interesting. ”

Catching a live devil captive is a big deal. Lao Zhou already knew about it, and had met Sasaki, and was about to escort the prisoners to the regular army for ideological education.

"Well, it's rare to see such an honest devil." Lao Zhou said with a smile: "He told me that Da Mei is very powerful, and his subordinates are also very fierce, which makes him very scared." ”

Zhao Tie laughed and said, "If it weren't for Da Mei to scare him, we wouldn't have known that this guy could speak Chinese, and he spoke it well!" ”

After a pause, Zhao Tie continued: "By the way, Da Mei also learned to drive a car, and learned a lot of Japanese with Sasaki along the way, and in the future, maybe you can use it." ”

The old man glanced around, Shen Chen was eating with Cao Xiaobao and others on the table not far away, his short hair was very unusual, but he was also very energetic.

"This girl is very happy, her hair is cut so short." Lao Zhou smiled: "It's just a tomboy, if you don't look carefully, you think it's a young man with clear eyebrows!" ”

Zhao Tie shrugged his shoulders and said, "She, she always has unexpected thoughts and actions, I'm used to it." ”

Lao Zhou laughed twice, his face slowly became serious again, and said: "A few days ago, I caught a spy who was spying on intelligence, and the devil began to pay attention to our sharpshooter." ”

Zhao Tie's eyes froze, thought for a moment, and said, "This is a matter of sooner or later." Da Mei doesn't want to publicize it too much, and it is also out of this consideration. ”

"The paper can't contain the fire, and sooner or later the enemy will find out the news, and they will know that the sharpshooter is a girl." Lao Zhou said: "Therefore, we still have to strengthen the protection of Damei." Well, and her family, too, pay more attention to safety. ”

Zhao Tie nodded, the devil's viciousness and strong sense of revenge, he knew it. Lao Zhou's concerns and suggestions are indeed very reasonable.

In fact, in Zhao Tie's heart, he also hopes to set up a heroic model in the base area, boost the morale of the people, and deter devils and traitors.

But there are advantages and disadvantages, Shen Chen has always been opposed, and he has no way to force it.

At this table, Shen Chen had already eaten almost enough. Seeing that Cao Xiaobao and Yu Baogen were talking to each other, he asked curiously: "What are you talking about, sneaky." ”

Cao Xiaobao smiled, scratched his head, and said, "I took a bottle of good wine in Shangji Town, thinking about having two sips with a few brothers." ”

After a pause, he hurriedly added: "Just take two sips, and go to bed after drinking, you shouldn't be able to act tonight, right?" ”

Shen Chen glanced at Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou not far away, and felt that it was nothing. After a tense battle behind enemy lines, it's a good spice to let the players relax, even if it's brief.

However, Shen Chen still got up and walked to the table next to him and asked Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou for instructions.

Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou originally intended to give the team returning from the expedition a two-day holiday, but after hearing what Shen Chen said, the two discussed it and agreed.

Shen Chen went back and told the team members the good news, and the atmosphere immediately became more cheerful.

Cao Xiaobao went to get two bottles of wine, and whoever wanted to drink it poured some, but there were also a few, and it was not good to have more.

Shen Chen's bowl also poured about a wine or two, Shandong's famous Lanling wine, with an amber luster, which looked attractive and smelled intoxicating.

Although there were no appetizers and eight bowls of appetizers, the team members tasted and admired, and their emotions became more enthusiastic with the effect of alcohol.

Shen Chen gently sipped the wine and talked and laughed with the team members. Although it was a short period of cheerfulness and relaxation, the psychology of Shen Chen and the team members was very different.

Psychologists once conducted such an experiment: organize three groups of people and ask them to go to three villages ten kilometers away.

The first group didn't know the name of the village or how far it was, so they just told them to follow the guide.

As soon as I walked two or three kilometers, some people began to complain; Halfway through, some people were almost angry, constantly complaining about why they had gone so far and when they would get to the end, and some people even sat on the side of the road and refused to go; The further back they go, the lower their mood becomes.

The second group knew the name of the village and how far it went, but there were no milestones on the side of the road, and the time and distance of the trip could only be estimated empirically.

Halfway through, most people want to know how far they've come, and the more experienced ones say, "About half the way." ”

So, everyone hugged and continued to move forward. By three-quarters of the way through, everyone was feeling depressed and tired, and it seemed that there was still a long way to go.

When someone says, "It's almost there! "It's almost there!" Everyone picked up again and quickened the pace of their march.

The third group not only knew the name of the village and the distance, but there was also a milestone for every kilometer along the road.

People can see the milestones as they walk, and everyone has a small burst of happiness for every kilometer shortened. During the march, they used singing and laughter to relieve their fatigue, and their emotions were kept high, and they soon reached their destination.
