Section IV
Wang Shusheng said excitedly: "Comrades! The former head of the head of the department thought of everything we thought of, and also considered for us what we didn't expect, and specially sent Director Liang Kedong of the Judicial Department to take command, relieving us of our worries and cheering us down, which not only reflects the far-sighted decision-making level of the leaders, but also reflects the trust and support of the leaders in our anti-bandit work. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info comrades! Do we have the confidence to do a good job? ”
"Yes!"
"Exterminate the bandits and protect the people!"
The cadres were full of confidence and embarked on a new journey to suppress bandits.
When Zheng Haiguo returned to the first battalion, he organized the troops to hold a mass work mobilization meeting. Wang Shusheng also came to the first battalion to participate in their mobilization meeting. Zheng Haiguo asked the regiment commander to give instructions to the troops, and Wang Shusheng first asked the troops a question: "Can anyone tell us that this time the troops went into the mountains to suppress bandits, and we were originally fighting bandits, but how did they end up being chased and beaten by bandits?" When it comes to guerrilla warfare, we are the ancestors! How can you be chased and beaten by a few thieves? ”
As soon as Wang Shusheng's question came out, it touched the sore spot of the officers and soldiers, and the faces of the comrades became ugly, and the scene was silent all of a sudden.
"Say it, don't be afraid! What are the fine traditions and advantages of our troops? One of them is military democracy, if you have anything to say, our old king can't eat you. Wang Shusheng encouraged.
"Good! Then I'll say it first, if it's wrong, don't blame me, the regiment commander. An old squad leader stood up and said loudly.
Wang Shusheng nodded.
The squad leader said: "I think the reason for being beaten passively is that the terrain is not familiar, the situation is not clear, and there is no goal, so how can we fight?" Hit whom? Finished! After the squad leader finished speaking, he sat down on his own.
"Report! I answer! The reason for the passive beating was that the villagers did not cooperate. Some fellows even helped the bandits beat us, it's so hateful! For these people, I think we should arrest them all and see if they can help the bandits? With that, the warrior sat down.
"Report! I think it is because the cadres are not effective in commanding and have not come up with effective methods. ”
"I think it's because the bandits are too slippery, running as fast as rabbits, climbing the mountain, and we're 'landlubbers going into the water, poof, poof!'" Dry in a hurry. Can't catch up. ”
"The guidance of the higher authorities is not effective, the cooperation between the troops is insufficient, the east is a hammer, the west is a stick, and there is a lack of overall concept."
"Report! I think ......"
For many days, the depression and unhappiness that had been piling up in my heart were pouring out of the mouths of officers and men like a flash flood.
The officers and men spoke enthusiastically, and their questions were sharp and sharp, and they even complained about the cadres and their superiors. Zheng Haiguo couldn't stay on the side, how did he manage the troops? Unexpectedly, he gave the head of the regiment a problem, made a stumbling block, and made the head of the regiment unable to step down? He was about to say something, but was stopped by Wang Shusheng.
"Comrades are very well said! We have made it very clear and in line with reality that the problems that have arisen since the troops entered the mountains. ”
I thought that the battalion commander and the regiment commander would criticize a few words, but unexpectedly, the regiment commander actually agreed with their views, which surprised and excited them, and applauded one after another.
Wang Shusheng changed the conversation and said: "We agree with what the comrades said, but it is not that the problem is solved. If we always hold this kind of complaining emotion, it will not be conducive to the solution of the problem, and the problem will remain in the same place and will not be solved, which will be extremely unfavorable to our work of suppressing bandits. Therefore, we should think deeply about the superficial phenomena, what is the essence of these problems? Figured it out, the next step, we know how to do it. Speaking of this, Wang Shusheng had a guilty expression on his face, "Actually, we made a guiding mistake at the beginning, we mistakenly regarded the suppression of bandits as a simple military problem, and lacked sufficient understanding of the complexity and arduousness of the suppression of bandits in the mountains, thinking that this was no different from the suppression of bandits outside. However, the situation here is not what we expected, why? It is because we have detached ourselves from the masses and forgotten the fundamental principle of the masses, so we are passive. ”
Wang Shusheng said solemnly: "Without the strong support of the local people, it can be said that we can't do anything, and it is difficult to move an inch." It is precisely the bandits who have seized on our weaknesses, wantonly bought people's hearts, and intimidated the mountain people, which has caused today's situation. We would like to ask you, what is the first element of guerrilla warfare? It's not about the quality of the weapons, it's about the mass base. If the bandits do it, the situation will be in their favor, and we will not do a good job, and of course it will not be beneficial to us, and this or that problem will arise. ”
When Wang Shusheng said this, he waved his arms, clenched his fists, and said, "So, let's change it and change from passive to active." We'll be able to defeat the bandits! Because the people's will is built on sincerity, we are the people's team, and there has never been a lack of sincerity, and the bandits' treatment of the people is based on fraud, coercion, and inducement, and this foundation is obtained by deception, and it is destined to be unstable. ”
Thunderous applause. The comrades' eyes were bright, and they finally understood the root of the problem, and saw the only key to solving the problem.
Full of confidence, there are all the officers and soldiers of the army!
"As for how to mobilize the masses, improve the relations between the military and the people, and finally defeat the enemy? The head of the regiment believes in your wisdom and will find a way to defeat the enemy, so we won't talk about it here. ”
Seeing that the morale of the troops had risen, and the enthusiasm and enthusiasm for killing the enemy had also been mobilized, Wang Shusheng hurriedly stopped the topic, left the first battalion, and went to other troops.
After the joint meeting, Bai Jiansheng organized a plenary meeting of the Flying Tigers, which analyzed the problem that the role of the Flying Tigers was not obvious since entering the mountain. Bai Jiansheng said that the Flying Tigers were originally a sharp knife and a banner for the bandit suppression unit, but now they have become a sluggish knife and have not played a vanguard role, which has to make people think deeply. There are many reasons for this, but the problem lies mainly in the work of the masses. Because the masses were not meticulous in their work, did not mingle with the masses, and the masses did not trust us, our Flying Tigers were unable to play their due role because their eyes were unclear, their ears were not working, and their sharp knives were unfavorable.
Bai Jiansheng continued, Originally, in order to improve the ability to collect intelligence, our Flying Tigers were equipped with many female comrades, and it stands to reason that our Flying Tigers should be very good at doing mass work, and they are much stronger than their brother troops, but the results are not satisfactory, why?
After analysis, everyone believes that the key is that the attitude towards the people is not right. Thinking that entering the mountains is to suppress bandits, dealing with the mountain people is not important, and after suppressing the bandits, the troops can be withdrawn, and there is no need to entangle with the common people, but in fact this is an extremely wrong idea, and everyone has done self-examination and carried out criticism and self-criticism.
Li Ling, captain of the second detachment, said: "Our party's mass line is to come from the masses and go to the masses. Mingling with the masses, believing in the masses, relying on the masses, and mobilizing the masses have always been the magic weapon for our party and army to win. No! It is because we have not been with the masses for too long and have been ideologically separated from the masses that we have today's results. So, in the next step, I must throw myself down, be with the masses, reach out to them, and integrate into them. ”
