Chapter 507: Little Feet

The stars twinkled, the breeze blew the earth, and the camps in the woods were full of fire, reflecting the stars in the sky.

There was singing in the camp, low and depressing, with a bit of sadness and a bit of hope. Like a traveler groping in the dark. Although there is no light to be found, in the depths of the traveler's heart, the light will come after all.

In this sad but hopeful low song, Jiang Langwu raised his head and looked at the dark sky, the light of the stars was getting dimmer and dimmer, but he didn't know if it was because it was blocked by dark clouds.

Taking out the straw rope from his mouth, Jiang Mingwu lowered his head and continued to weave the straw sandals, there was no way, now the logistics supply was basically cut off, and military uniforms, quilts, cloth shoes, and cotton shoes could not be supplied. The guerrillas had to learn how to weave straw sandals by themselves, but fortunately, Jiang Huwu had learned how to weave straw sandals when he was in the guerrilla training class and military academy, so he did not show any timidity in front of these North Korean guerrillas.

Jiang Huwu came to North Korea a year ago. Succeeding Liu Fuji, he assisted this North Korean guerrilla force in combat as a "military adviser", and before that, he received strict guerrilla warfare training at the Wuhan Sixth Military University, which was very good in both theory and experience. This guerrilla force did not lose its fighting spirit because of Liu Fuji's return to China, and although the area of the guerrilla zone became more and more due to the compression of the strategic space, all the guerrillas were still in high spirits and engaged in extremely arduous guerrilla warfare against the Japanese colonial army.

Like Liu Fuji, Jiang Huwu is also an officer from the Republican Army's special operations regiment, although the commander of the special operations regiment decided to recommend the two of them to serve as senior officers in the grassroots troops, and the commander-in-chief also agreed, but Jiang Keywu and Liu Fuji finally decided to continue to stay in the special operations unit as low-level officers, therefore, after officially graduating from the 6th Army Academy, Jiang Keywu and Liu Fuji were still in the special operations regiment, both company commanders, and later after the special operations regiment was expanded into a special operations brigade, the two were promoted to battalion commanders. Later, because the Central Committee decided to support the anti-Japanese movement in Korea, Liu Fuji was first transferred out of the special operations brigade. Sent to North Korea to form a guerrilla unit, and soon after, Jiang Huwu was also transferred out of the special operations brigade. However, he did not go directly to North Korea, but first went to the Sixth Army University for further study, specializing in guerrilla warfare, and it is precisely for this reason that when it comes to the theoretical cultivation of guerrilla warfare, Jiang Huwu is better than Liu Fuji. However, when he went to North Korea to replace Liu Fuji, Liu Fuji had already learned war in the war. Therefore, before returning to China, Liu Fuji gave Jiang Langwu a few days of lessons, leaving a lot of valuable practical experience, which could not be learned in the 6th Army University.

It's just that Jiang Langwu didn't catch up with the good time, and when he was sent to Korea by the 6th Army Department to take over as a "military adviser", the anti-Japanese movement in Korea had passed, and the southern part of Korea was gradually regained control by the Japanese colonial army, and many "independent areas" were razed to the ground by Japan, and the guerrilla warfare in the southern region could no longer achieve satisfactory results, so . The main battlefield of this guerrilla war quickly shifted to the mountains and mountains of northern Korea, where the conditions were more difficult than in the south, but for the guerrillas, the terrain here was more convenient for guerrilla warfare, and it was in this difficult environment that Chiang Langwu stayed in the mountains of Korea for almost a year.

According to the regulations of the 6th Military Department, the officers sent to North Korea are rotated once a year, and seeing that Jiang Langwu is about to be transferred back to China, but there is no officer sent to replace him in China, which makes Jiang Huwu very worried, after all, it takes a period of adaptation for newcomers to join the army, and if you want to assist North Korean officers in commanding operations, it is far from enough to have theoretical cultivation.

"I wonder who will be sent to replace me in the country? I don't know if Liu Fuji's guy is still in the special operations brigade now? I wonder when Japan's next sweep will be? I wonder how the country is dealing with the situation in North Korea now? ”

Too much "I don't know" lingered in Jiang Huwu's mind, there was no way, now the information was blocked, the communication was not smooth, and almost all the guerrilla commanders were worried about this matter of collecting information. In the past, when the situation was good, the anti-Japanese guerrillas in North Korea were very well equipped with some radio stations. It is used to get in touch with the other side of the Yalu River. Or simply get in touch with the Chinese submarines sailing off the coast of Korea, but as the Japanese colonial army gradually grasped the initiative in the war, the anti-Japanese guerrillas in Korea had to disperse their activities, and in the past, Chiang Langwu's troops could follow the activities of the "guerrilla division guerrilla brigade", but now, his "guerrilla company" is currently the largest strategic unit of the Korean anti-Japanese guerrillas, and it is a remarkable feat to occasionally form a "guerrilla group" with other troops. Those radio stations that survived the fierce battles can only give priority to equipping those guerrillas commanded by high-ranking officers, and Jiang Mingwu's ordinary guerrilla troops have no right to own radio stations, and there is no need at all, because the current radio stations need tall and cumbersome antennas, which will only become a drag on the march of the troops, so if Jiang Keywu wants to get news from the outside world, he can only do it, not the most primitive "manpower communication, the day before yesterday, Jiang Keywu had sent several Korean guerrillas to report to his superiors, By the way, he received the order of his superiors and the newspapers recently published in China, and it was said that those guerrillas should have returned in the morning, but until now they have not even seen a figure, which more or less worries Jiang Langwu, after all, his troops have been sharply reduced from more than 200 at the beginning of the year to less than 100 now, and almost all of the remaining people are wounded, and every member of the team is now a valuable combat resource.

After a year of fighting, Jiang Langwu really saw the cruelty of war, in the past at home with the commander-in-chief to fight in the east and west, relying on superior forces and firepower, although the war is as cruel, but compared with the guerrilla warfare and counter-guerrilla warfare on the Korean Peninsula, the cruelty of regular war is only reflected on the battlefield, and in Korea, in this guerrilla zone of 3,000 miles of rivers and mountains. Guerrilla warfare and counter-guerrilla warfare can be seen everywhere to wreak havoc, and in this war, both sides of the war have shown the darkest side of their souls, and if he had not seen it with his own eyes, Jiang Huwu would have found it hard to believe that such a low-intensity war could bring such great damage.

This destruction was mainly caused by the Japanese army, which did not hesitate to burn down entire villages in order to eliminate the anti-Japanese guerrillas. Killing all the unarmed villagers in the village is no longer a war, it is venting anger, it is a crime, and American, Chinese, and German journalists are using this situation to expose the atrocities of the Japanese army in depth.

But in Jiang Langwu's view, it doesn't matter if the reporter reports or not, the important thing is that this? The anti-Japanese guerrilla war is about to fail, this is not pessimism, but the words of the heart, the book "Guerrilla Warfare" is right, losing the cover of the frontal battlefield, in the face of an invader with strong national strength and military machinery, simple guerrilla warfare will eventually fail, this has nothing to do with courage, has nothing to do with combat effectiveness, only closely linked to the interests of the great powers, if not to the strong support of a certain big power. The anti-Japanese guerrilla war on the Korean Peninsula could not be sustained.

Even though he saw the bleak prospects, Jiang Huwu still stuck to his duties. Because he understands that if he persists in guerrilla warfare in Korea for one more day, then Japan will be pinned down for one more day, which will be beneficial to China.

While Jiang Keywu was sitting by the campfire, weaving straw sandals and distracted, a guerrilla hurried into the glade, ran to Jiang Keywu, and reported to him.

"Captain, the correspondent is back."

Although the Chinese language was very blunt, Jiang Huwu understood it, and during his year in North Korea, he even learned some rudimentary Korean dialect, since the guerrilla commander was seriously injured in the encounter a few days ago. Chiang Langwu lost the last regular Korean Tuze, and now he is the acting commander of this guerrilla company.

Jiang Lingwu threw straw sandals, clapped his hands, and followed the drug team member out of the glade and walked towards a few people who were touching this side.

Through the frappy turn, Jiang Huwu barely understood the correspondent's words, and knew that the other party had brought a written order, so he hurriedly asked for the order, walked back to the campfire, and checked the password. Then he studied the order in the light of the fire.

The orders were issued by the "Hamgyong Province Guerrilla Command", and the contents were all written in special ciphers, which made Jiang Huwu's Ze read a little slowly.

Although the content of the order was not much, it shocked Jiang Lingwu very much. According to the order, all Korean anti-Japanese guerrillas operating in Hamgyong Province must find a way to cross the Yalu River within five days and go to the Chinese provinces of Liaoning and Jilin, and then be disarmed there and escorted by the squadron to the "north."

What does this command mean? Does it mean that China has changed its stance and decided to abandon its support for the anti-Japanese independence movement on the Korean Peninsula?

Jiang Lingwu re-studied the order several times, and felt desolate and helpless in his heart, perhaps, this is the sorrow of a small country, no matter how he struggles, he is only a victim of the struggle between the politics and interests of a big country, and the fate of North Korea is not decided by the North Koreans. And it is decided by the powerful country, in the eyes of the powerful country. North Korea is a dispensable little thing.

"Order, prepare the silk food in advance, we will move the camp before dawn and go north."

Jiang Hu Wu Lixuan gave an order, he decided not to inform his subordinates of the content of the order of his superiors for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary panic, now the military spirit is very important, and these people are all battle-hardened soldiers, if they are left here, it is very irresponsible, Jiang Keywu believes that there are more things hidden behind this order, in the future, these soldiers may still have their use.

Jiang began to pack his backpack, and then he noticed the song wafting in the wind, the song was still the same Korean folk song, but the tune was more sad, and the hope hidden in the song seemed to be gone.

With a sigh, Jiang Lingwu got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to study the marching route. There are few factories in Jianshu, and there are many small spies
