Once you've got a rough plan of action, the rest is much easier. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It turned out that facing a desperate situation, the atmosphere between the soldiers of the company was still a little dignified, after all, no one wanted to die. Although there are still some things worth considering in the new plan of Jiangshan, at least there is hope for survival.

Cheng Sankui and Song Chao, the instructor of the first company, discussed with each other on the road for a long time, and then quickened their pace, walked to Jiangshan, and said: "Company Commander Jiang, you have also seen the situation of our team, after a few battles, the company has been seriously reduced, especially the cadres, we are three platoon commanders, and now there is only one platoon leader left." Now that this is a special situation, I discussed it with Instructor Song, and I would like to ask you to be the temporary staff officer of our company and help come up with an idea, what do you think? ”

Jiang Shan frowned and thought for a long time before he hesitated and said, "Company Commander Cheng, Instructor Song, you also know that I am a member of the 29th Army after all. Although it is now a great enemy, the KMT and the CPC should cooperate and there should be no more party divisions. However, after all, your unit is the Eighth Route Army, and even if the two of you are open-minded, it is difficult to guarantee that no individual soldier will be dissatisfied with me because of the mustard in the past. Will I, the "reactionary", now directly participate in decision-making, arouse the disgust and dissatisfaction of the fighters? ”

Song Chao smiled and said: "Company Commander Jiang is too worried, the first company is an old company in the Red Army period, and the ideological foundation is strong. It is still possible to treat the national peril and brotherly grievances differently. As you said just now, now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating, I, the old Red Army who participated in the Long March, have no idea in this regard, so why do you still have so many concerns? ”

Cheng Sankui hugged Jiang Shan's shoulders with a big grin and said: "My old Cheng is a rough man, except for leading troops to fight, he has no ability. I don't understand what political parties are all about, and I don't want to understand them. I'll just admit a reason, the little devils are bullied to the head, and we are still beating our own family members in full swing, and we will make people laugh when we say it. I can see that you have a lively mind and ability. If you don't show your skills at this time, when will you wait? ”

has said all this, Jiang Shan feels that if he wants to shirk again, it will be hypocritical. He thought for a moment and said, "Since the two of you look up to me, then I won't shirk anymore." However, I am still young after all, and some things are inevitably ill-considered, so the two big brothers need to help a little more. After all, the lives of dozens of people now are not child's play. This burden is too heavy for me to carry alone. ”

Song Chao said: "This is no problem, our ranks of the Eighth Route Army originally had a tradition of democratic centralism. If we have any opinions, we can put them on the table openly and honestly. In addition, I think that for the sake of convenience in coordination, and for the sake of safety, the original three platoons and three shifts are temporarily assigned to Company Commander Jiang. ”

"It's not appropriate, is it? After all, I am an outsider, and I rashly lead troops, I am afraid that no one will obey me. I think it's better for me to be a fighter. Jiang Shan hurriedly said.

"Okay, Company Commander Jiang, let you take a squad, I still feel condescending. I meant to give you the three rows directly. Later, the instructor said that during the battle, the third platoon would have to go up, and when the time came, did you say that I would let you go on or not? I'll just give you a class. Those who can work hard, Brother Jiang don't shirk it, just right, let those bastards in the third class learn some skills from you. Cheng Sankui was not pretentious at all, and said calmly.

Jiang Shan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I won't shirk it." Company Commander Cheng, Instructor Song, rest assured, when the time comes, I will definitely give you a top third shift! ”

Cheng Sankui and Liang Chao laughed together: "Okay, what I'm waiting for is your words!" When the time comes, we'll invite you to drink! If you don't get drunk, you can't go home! ”

"In this case, don't call me any Jiang company commander in the future, there is only one company commander in the first company, that is, you Cheng Sankui, I will be the third squad leader in the future, I really feel awkward, call me Xiaojiang also. Anyway, I'm young, you two call me Xiaojiang, and I won't suffer. Jiang Shan said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll call you Xiaojiang. Now that the matter is urgent, other matters will be put aside, although we have decided to advance eastward, but where is the specific goal? There are more than 20 supply stations of devils along the canal, lined up, which one shall we take first? Song Chao asked the doubts in his heart.

Jiang Shan quickly turned the map aside in his mind, and then said: "I think, since you want to fight, you have to make the devil feel pain, otherwise the devil doesn't care at all if it doesn't hurt or itch to come for so many times." In this way, Liuji, Pingbu, Shicun, Shisanzhai, Hanjia's shack, and Xiangmadu all had large supply depots and field oil warehouses for the Japanese army. Of the more than 30 targets, these are more concentrated and more important, and if we can destroy one or two, or even three or four, of them, the Japanese army will certainly not let us go freely. So that our goal can be reached. ”

Liang Chao took out the map and looked at it carefully for a long time before he raised his head and said, "The first target, I suggest attacking the Thirteen Villages at night." This place is the middle of several large supply depots, and according to the information reported by the headquarters in the early stage, there are only small groups of Japanese troops stationed in it, and there is also a company of puppet troops. Presumably, in several other places, the troops are still relatively empty. Eliminate the devil first, the combat effectiveness of the puppet army, everyone knows it. Basically, there won't be much of a threat to us. ”

Cheng Sankui frowned and added: "But Old Song, there is one thing we can't ignore. The Thirteen Villages are more than ten kilometers away from Shicun, and only twenty kilometers away from the Han family's shack. Let's do it here, if the Japanese troops on both sides come to reinforce it, we can arrive in half an hour by car. If you are stuck by the devils, with our little strength, I'm afraid we will suffer a big loss. ”

Jiang Shan thought about it carefully and said, "I think the instructor's opinion can be considered. Although the Thirteen Villages are not far from Shicun and the Han family's shacks, those two places are also important supply depots for the Japanese army. Even if reinforcements come out, I'm afraid they won't divide too many troops. Here again, the enemy's rear, the main forces are fighting on the front line and the Fifth Theater, and it is difficult to draw troops to encircle and suppress us. Let's fight quickly, run away if we get cheap, don't fall in love. There shouldn't be any problems. ”

Cheng Sankui thought about it for a while, and decisively clapped the decision: "Okay, just do what you two say!" The platoon leader informed the troops that the target was thirteen villages, and the wounded were behind, and the others ran forward. Before dark, arrive at five kilometers southwest of the thirteen villages to rest and stand by! ”

After giving the order, Cheng Sankui continued: "After arriving at the position, everyone will take care of their mouths for me, don't make too much movement, if you alarm the devils, we dozens of people will all be doomed." ”

When it came to life-threatening matters, Liang Jianbin didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly went down and ordered the arrangement. A few people stopped talking nonsense, exerted force under their feet, and began a rapid march in the direction of the Thirteen Villages.

Many of the soldiers of the first company were old Red Army soldiers who had participated in the Long March, and in addition, the equipment of the Eighth Route Army was backward, and there were no transport vehicles at all. Everyone has practiced a pair of iron feet, and it is not a problem to climb mountains and mountains, not to mention the flat land of dozens of miles. The whole team started moving at noon, and before 6 p.m., they had already arrived at the designated position.

"Company Commander Cheng really leads the troops well, such a long-distance march, the team can still be fully loaded, and no one is left behind, it is not easy." Jiang Shan praised from the bottom of his heart.

Cheng Sankui waved his hand indifferently and said with a big grin: "What kind of ability is this?" If it weren't for the fear that the speed would be too fast and affect the physical strength of the soldiers, if you really exert your strength, you can at least be in place an hour earlier! ”

Jiang Shan was stunned, on this rapid march just now, Rao is young and has good physical strength, and after strict training, he already feels a little tired. Looking at the surrounding warriors, many of them are still methodically checking their equipment, wiping their weapons, and preparing for the battle. Jiang Shan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it seems that he still has a lot of things to learn.

Cheng Sankui called a company commander and ordered: "Tell everyone, hurry up and rest, and after half an hour, start building a position." This is a tough battle, and if you want to survive, you can't be sloppy. ”

Jiang Shan hurriedly stopped him: "Company Commander Cheng, you can't build a position here!" The terrain here is open, and there is no place to hide. We are now in the rear of the Japanese army, and there are devils everywhere. Not necessarily when, you will encounter a patrol of devils. When the time comes, our position will become a message to the devil! Besides, we are a sneak attack, not a positional battle with him. There's a woodland over there, let's hide the team there! When it was night, sneak in and attack the camp! ”

Cheng Sankui and Song Chao looked at the surrounding terrain and felt that what Jiang Shan said made sense. Jiang Shan then added: "Company Commander Cheng, don't tell them about me being the leader of the third squad." I haven't made an inch of success now, and these boys will definitely not be convinced by then. After a while, I took a few of them to grab the tongues of the two devils and shocked them. ”

Song Chao nodded: "Okay, I was worried about this too." This is the best arrangement. But when you move, be sure to stay safe! ”

Jiang Shan smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry, it's just to grab two tongues." These sentinels on the periphery can't help me. This is not that he is conceited, before he became a soldier, he had a family kung fu, and after becoming a soldier, he systematically learned the ability to defeat the enemy. After two years of study in Germany, the level of military training has improved by leaps and bounds. To put it mildly, two or three ordinary Japanese soldiers, he really didn't pay attention to it.
