In the evening, Mr. Peng and Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo came to find Xiaolu and said, "What are you doing?" I've been looking for you for an afternoon. ”

Xiao Lu took out a small book, patted it, and said, "You guys are busy making battle plans, I'm very idle, and I've done something else." ”

The two looked at it for a long time and said, "Korean characters? It's definitely not a Japanese word. ”

Xiaolu said: "Yes, Korean characters." Guerrilla Tactics. I summarized the tactics of the Eighth Route Army. Called the Korean class people translated into Korean. They have already sent this little book to North Korea by telegram. Now you can let the people from these two study classes go to Yan'an. ”

Deputy Chief of Staff Left: "What do you mean by that?" ”

Xiaolu said: "I have already sent three groups of people to North Korea, and they took "On Protracted War" with them. Taking advantage of the fact that the 20th Division of the Japanese Army came to the northeast to fight the Nomenkan, they staged several riots. Now, they have grown to more than 10,000 people. I sent the book over, and the Chinese version and the Korean version were all complete. They are eager to fight, and they can fight for a while. The villages are lit on fire, and smoke rises everywhere. ”

Mr. Peng: "How many Japanese can this attract?" ”

Xiaolu said: "It is bound to attract some devils from the northeast and south." Then, our people in the south of the northeast made another fuss, and a column in the Chaoyang area fought in the area from Rehe to Zhangjiakou to cut off the railway, what do you think? ”

Mr. Peng: "How many people are in your column?" ”

Xiaolu said: "Less than fifteen thousand." If Rehe's troops cooperate a little more, we can expand the results even more. Then, I have an additional pawn. ”

Left Deputy Chief of Staff: "What chess piece?" ”

Xiaolu said: "I have a team of 1,000 people in the Rehe area, which is a special combat team. How about I move them to the Pingxi area, live with Commander Xiao Ke in the Pingxi base area, and find an opportunity to stir up some peace in Beiping? ”

Mr. Peng: "How much can a thousand people do?" ”

Xiaolu said: "The commander of this thousand people is Wang Santai, the one who captured Shouichi in the temple alive. The military expenditure of this 1,000 people, which is equivalent to the military expenditure of my other 35,000 troops, was selected from various units, and everyone thought that they were proud to be able to join this unit. Their skills, infiltration, assassination, urban guerrilla warfare, wilderness survival, shooting, driving a car, driving a motorcycle, skiing, reconnaissance, shooting and artillery, commanding small local battles. There are also people who can drive tanks. ”

Left Deputy Chief of Staff: "Shooting is also a skill?" ”

Xiaolu said: "Their guns are sniper rifles, made in the Soviet Union. Later, we used the best rifles of the Soviet Union and made better scopes ourselves. A gun, an observer, a telescope. Two people in a group, very powerful. ”

Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo: "Your guard is a special combat team?" ”

Xiaolu said: "Yes." Wang Santai sent me a class. I'll ask them to put on a show for the chief. ”

Xiaolu took Peng Zuo and the three soldiers to walk outside, and after more than an hour, the group came back, and Peng Zuo and the two kept nodding.

Those who went to study in Yan'an left, and local troops led them westward, across the blockade line.

Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo led the staff team to step up the plan for the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army to also participate in the operation, and made a detailed plan. In addition, the troops of Rehe and Hebei also participated in the operation, and at this time, the battle plan involved more than 50 regiments.

Xiao Lu reminded: "It's 100,000 people, it's already a strategic battle, do you want to report to the central government?" In the past, we used to send thousands of people to fight small battles, and we decided on our own, but this time it was different. ”

Mr. Peng: "It should be reported, this involves things other than the Eighth Route Army." In addition, after discussing with Liu Dengnie and a few others last time, they returned to their base by themselves. In my opinion, this battle must be fought, first discussed within our army, and then reported to the central authorities. ”

After the plan was sent to several other divisions, there was no opinion on it, and the Kuomintang troops wrote to ask if you could still fight?

The left deputy chief of staff told Xiaolu what had happened. At the beginning of August, after the original campaign plan was decided, Zhu Peng and the others visited Wei Lihuang and explained that the Eighth Route Army was going to have a military operation, which was to fight Japan, and not to cause misunderstanding. The news spread, but the battle time had passed, and the battle had not yet been fought, and the Kuomintang had some doubts, so it came to explore the truth.

Xiaolu said: "I understand, one is to talk about whether we are targeting them, the second is to find some topics to ridicule us, and the third is to find a reason to make trouble with us." However, it is also a good thing. ”

Deputy Chief of Staff Left: "What do you say?" ”

Xiaolu said: "The more chaotic the phenomenon seen outside, the better, so that the Japanese think that we have to fight the Kuomintang, so that we can paralyze the devils." ”

Sure enough, the next day, the Kuomintang newspapers in Chongqing made a big deal of ridicule of the 18th Group Army, which was not attacking, and said a lot about it. The news from the newspapers and the news related to Chongqing came back immediately, and under the agitation of the small road, the atmosphere at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was not so solemn, and even somewhat relaxed and pleasant, and the bad news did not have any impact.

Soon, the opinions of the divisions returned, and they all detailed the tasks of their subordinate teams, especially the regiments, and made plans more detailed.

Xiaolu's contribution to this plan was twofold, first, the troops of Rehe and the troops of southern Liaoning participated in the war.

Second, a propaganda plan has been added, and the propaganda policy is to publicize the strength of the Eighth Route Army in a low-key manner and to publicize the fighting situation of the militia and local units as much as possible. It is necessary to publicize the achievements of the Eighth Route Army in a high-profile manner, to be as detailed as possible, to explain more details, to demand that the hats of the Japanese soldiers killed be used as a proof to count the number of enemies destroyed, and to collect the names, places of origin, unit numbers, and written materials of the dead Japanese soldiers. Propaganda personnel of various ministries are required to prepare more films. The collected information and written materials will be broadcast to Japan from Yichun's Japanese-language radio station, and the pictures will be distributed by Xinhua Daily.

Third, the militia and people in various localities should get a good grasp of digging tunnels and strive to ensure that there is a place to hide the grain and personnel of the autumn harvest.

Xiaolu also took out dozens of boxes of film that he had obtained in Fengtian, Xinjing, and handed them to Deputy Chief Zuo, asking them to be distributed to various Xinhua News Agency photojournalists, asking them to take as many pictures of the battlefield as possible.

The day before yesterday, the plan was set, the autumn harvest in Shanxi and Hebei was in the first to middle of October, and the operation began on October 20. It was reported to Yan'an, and Yan'an approved it, and the order was issued today.

Xiao Lu completed a big thing, took out the paper he had brought, and asked the two of you to write a few words as a souvenir.

Mr. Peng wrote: "Resist the war to the end." Peng Dehuai gave the commander-in-chief of the road to Taihang Mountain. ”

The left deputy chief of staff wrote: "Persist in the War of Resistance and oppose surrender." Books are given to the road total. ”
