Since Zhao Dahu and Li Jinshan recovered, the dog took them around the camps every day on Tuesday, hoping that they could get into the state as soon as possible. In fact, Zhao Dahu and Li Jinshan couldn't hold it back for a long time: in the past few days, they have fiddled with all kinds of pistols, rifles, submachine guns, and machine guns, and found the feeling that people and guns are one, and they also fired more than a dozen grenadiers by themselves, and they feel similar to sharpshooters! Then they practiced 5 times a day, and then the average soldier didn't dare to confront them at all, saying that they were crazy, so they had to find some veteran squad leaders and company platoon commanders to accompany them, and as a result, Shi Jilun, Liu Maoer and others laughed at them as super soldiers. The two of them took Li Haiyang's supplementary troops to conduct several company-platoon-level exercises, and Zhao Dahu always won.

During this period of time, Tuesday Dog was very low-key, and they didn't go to the trouble of the devil, and the devil didn't come to the trouble of Tuesday Dog, so it was maintained until the spring blossomed.

On this day, Zhao Dahu and Li Jinshan found Tuesday Dog together and said that they would take people out to "go around". On Tuesday, the dog thought about it again and again, and finally told the two people: first, don't be near Xishan, Xishan's defense is not sound, it's best not to lead the war to Xishan, second, don't be too large, focus on military training, and third, formulate a battle plan and report it.

Drawing up a battle plan, Zhao Dahu is not a big problem as a regimental-level officer, but Li Jinshan is not good. Li Jinshan, a mountain bandit, has a belly of experience in attacking villages and plundering villages, but he can't write any fart battle plans, and he is not familiar with the military, so he has to ask the three Wu brothers for help. As soon as this brother heard that there was action, he jumped up with joy, not only did he not help Li Jinshan write the battle plan (in fact, they didn't either), but they all came to Tuesday Dog to ask for a fight.

In the end, Tuesday Dog had to rearrange, expand the expected battle plan, arrange to support their actions to the Qingyun Department, and arrange for Wang Yilang to make an overall battle plan for them, and the combat goal was to seize the area south of the Maoshan cross-mountain road in the south of Maoshan and occupy all the Maoshan bases.

After two days of reconnaissance and preparation, Zhao Dahu, Li Jinshan, Wu Zhen, Wu Lei, and Wu Ting each set off with a platoon of men.

After Liyang, Li Jinshan coaxed and bluffed the three children: "You three are too boring, don't help me make plans, and make trouble for me, don't go out this time and don't steal credit with Uncle Li, go back to Uncle Li and tell one of you a beautiful daughter-in-law!" The three children agreed again and again. When Zhao Dahu heard this, he looked down on Li Jinshan a little: This famous bandit actually pleaded with three little children, it's really useless! He didn't know that none of these three kids were fuel-efficient lamps!

After sweeping Maoshan Mountain, the devil was idle for a while, just in time for the battle of Xuzhou in the north to be tightened, and most of them were transferred away, leaving a squadron to garrison. Don't look at a squadron of devils, but they can stir up Maoshan in the dark, each of their squads, including the grenadier squad, occupies a village, and sends half of the people to "patrol" every day, robbing grain, chickens, ducks, livestock, cloth and silk, killing many people and harming many women. In short, the people of Maoshan spend every day trembling.

Zhao Dahu and others passed through the Liyang stronghold and began to infiltrate Maoshan at night. Because Li Jinshan is a local, and the three Wu brothers have also been stationed here for a long time, so Zhao Dahu was asked to be in charge of a devil station closest to the starting place, and everyone agreed to act together at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, when the devils went out to exercise, and then each led the team to set off.

Zhao Dahu is a veteran of a hundred battles, so he took the troops to the designated place, inspected the terrain, deployed troops, arranged guards, and then slept with peace of mind. At 5 o'clock in the morning, Zhao Dahu ate, prepared ammunition, and entered the position step by step, without Zhao Dahu's command.

At 6 o'clock, the devils in the village did not move at all. It turns out that the devils here have adapted to the days of pampering and pampering, and the procedure of going out of the exercise has been automatically canceled.

Zhao Dahu couldn't wait any longer and gave the order to open fire. After taking down the devil sentry with one shot, the devils reacted quickly, and the machine guns and grenadiers were quickly put into position, and just when the devils were about to counterattack, a few more were killed by the cold gunners. Zhao Dahu was also happy, this is the squadron headquarters of the devil, because he saw the devil's bugleman.

Next, the battlefield fell silent. The squadron leader of the devil, Kiyomi Nagata, is very experienced, and he will not take it easy if he doesn't see the strength of the other party. Zhao Dahu also had the same idea, first shooting to attract the devil to expose his strength, and then determine the way of attack. At this time, the attacking side is the one who can't hold his breath. Zhao Dahu also needs to fight quickly and settle the battle before the devil's reinforcements arrive.

So, Zhao Dahu sent a squad to attack the entrance of the village, and as soon as the devil's machine gun and grenadier were exposed, he was killed by the cold gunners.

In the end, more than a dozen devils were squeezed by Zhao Dahu in an ancestral hall and resisted stubbornly. Zhao Dahu led people to the house, and with a few cold shots, he forced the devil into the house. At this time, Zhao Dahu was down-to-earth, he arranged for the soldiers to control the devils, and at the same time summoned the villagers to come over.

When the villagers all came over, Zhao Dahu asked the villagers for their opinions, how do you want these devils to die? Everyone unanimously demanded: stab to death with a bayonet. This made Zhao Dahu embarrassed: if he stabbed the devil to death, he either had to fight with a bayonet, so that his soldiers would suffer too many casualties, or he would catch the devil alive and stab him to death, but it was difficult for the Japanese army to catch him alive. In the end, Zhao Dahu came up with a trick: he dismantled a small explosive bag, packed it in 10 small bamboo tubes, made 10 large marizi, and then asked people to open the roof of the ancestral hall and throw it in. Sure enough, the devils inside were all stunned.

7 devils were stunned, 4 devils were shocked to death. Zhao Dahu tied the live devils to a tree and asked the villagers, "Who wants to stab these devils to death with their own hands!?" ”

"Me!" Just when the villagers were still hesitating, a woman in her twenties stood up, her husband and two children were all killed by devils, and she was also tortured by a group of devils for more than two months. She snatched a rifle from a soldier and stabbed three devils to death without hesitation, but was stopped by other villagers, and she had to leave a few for others!

The woman threw down the gun and knelt down for Zhao Dahu at once: "Sir, you have avenged us, take me to fight devils!" ”

"Yes! Take us to fight devils! The villagers knelt down.

"Okay, if you want to be a soldier, come with me! But you can't," Zhao Dahu pointed to the woman just now, "My troops don't want women." ”

"I'm just going to kill devils with you!" The woman picked up a bayonet from the ground and pointed it at her heart.

"Okay, you can come with me first!" Zhao Dahu really has no tricks.

At noon, Xiang Qingyun came with a large team.

"Report to the regiment commander, a large group was ordered to take over the Maoshan Defense Area." Zhao Dahu has no position now, so Xiang Qingyun has no choice but to call him his old official rank.

"What? Maoshan has been taken all? ”

It turned out that except for Zhao Dahu, none of the Wu brothers and Li Jinshan waited for 6 o'clock in the morning to do it as agreed. The Wu brothers, with the support of the faint bullet, pulled out ten strongholds of devils in a row: 3 Wu Zhen, 3 Wu Lei, and 4 Wu Ting; Li Jinshan played with tickets, touched the stronghold by himself, stabbed 13 devils to death one by one, and when he rushed to other strongholds, he had already been pulled out by the Wu brothers. was so angry that Li Jinshan scolded the Wu brothers: "Little rabbit cub, you really don't save face for Uncle Li, right?" Okay, I'll let you all fight singles for the rest of your life! Then he sent someone back to Xishan to report the news and asked for someone to receive it. At this time, Zhao Dahu's battle had just begun.

At the summary meeting, Zhao Dahu was quite depressed: this time he recovered Maoshan, he killed 7 people, seriously injured 2 people, and slightly injured 11 brothers, while several other people did not fire a shot; I worked hard for a long time, and people played like a child; Fortunately, I took the squadron headquarters of the devil and recruited a group of recruits, otherwise I would have lost face at all!

After the staff meeting, Zhao Dahu found Tuesday Dog: first, Hu Zhaoyue, the woman she took in this time, arranged for her to go to the health team, she resolutely did not go, and she had to go to the front line with Zhao Dahu to fight devils in person; First, Zhao Dahu felt that he couldn't fight anymore, and he didn't know what else to do in Xishan, so he was in a very bad mood.

Tuesday Dog understood the old chief's mood very well, so he came to Zhao Dahu's dormitory with him. On Tuesday, the dog told Zhao Dahu in detail about the situation since he was injured, analyzed the current situation of the enemy's strength and weakness, and told him about the operational principle decided by the Xishan General Staff Committee of "plundering materials, strengthening the troops, and training elite soldiers for the purpose, and tactics based on the principle of profiteering and not fighting hard", and told him many recent successful examples, and finally Tuesday Dog said to Zhao Dahu: "Sir, I learned from you to fight, Xiang Qingyun is your most loyal old subordinate, my people are all learned from you to fight, brothers obey you, Wu Mujun still depends on you to pick up the banner! ”

Zhao Dahu was about to cry, "I fought such a small battle like this, how can I pick the banner of the Wu Mu Army!" Besides, Wu Mujun was supported by you single-handedly, why should I pick this banner! ”

"Sir, to tell you the truth, I can give you one hand, and there are no less than 200 such people in the army; In terms of robbing convoys and pulling out strongholds, there are no less than 50 sub-captains and company platoon commanders below who are more powerful than you; When it comes to prestige, no one can compare to you. I'm just a small soldier under you, and at home, I'm just a gangster, now the stall is so big, the safety of hundreds of thousands of people, on my shoulders, I can't hold it anymore, if you don't help me, who can help me? Go down and see, the brethren need you! ”

"But I don't have any faith now!" Zhao Dahu was simply depressed to the freezing point.

"It's okay, sir, you're not used to these tricks now, and you'll understand it after going down with them a few times. Now the devil can't take care of us, once the devil eases up and goes all out to deal with us, let's talk about leading troops to train and arrange troops, no one can compare to you! Don't worry, I'll take someone to steal chickens and dogs to get some money, sooner or later, we will have to fight a few battles with the devil in a dignified manner, so that the devil's corpses will be all over the field, and the blood will flow like a river! ”

When Zhao Dahu sent the dog out on Tuesday, he just saw Hu Zhaoyue walking out, and hot washing water was already placed on the stove in the outer room.

On this day, the regular staff meeting.

Mr. Wang Lao reflected that since the opening of the "Ziwei Hospital", thousands of people in various villages have been treated free of charge, which has won Wu Mujun a very high reputation, but there is a shortage of medicines. Ziwei Hospital, Wang Ziwei rescued Li Jinshan, Tuesday Dog kept his promise to establish, and opened to civilians according to Wang Ziwei's wishes, Wang Ziwei mainly focused on the army's medical treatment, occasionally sat for consultation, Mr. Wang and Ma Qinghan were actually responsible.

Qi Yuankai, director of the logistics department, reflected that the food problem has surfaced again.

Director of Health Wang Ziwei reported that most of the wounded have been discharged from the hospital, but the storage of medicines is no longer enough to support a major combat attrition; It is recommended to build toilets in every household or barracks in the garrison to reduce the spread of diseases and facilitate the accumulation of fertilizer by villagers; It is also necessary to build a number of bathing places for soldiers to use and reduce diseases.

In addition, gasoline consumption is excessive, stocks are small, and they need to be replenished; The war horse was overworked and needed to recuperate; The bike is heavily worn, requires a warranty and a lot of accessories.

Wu Zhengtang, director of the Repair and Repair Institute, said that at present, the weapons repair work has been completed, a large number of workers are waiting for work, and a large number of abandoned cars and tanks cannot be disposed of, and many special tools of the engineering brigade cannot be manufactured, and many tools and equipment are needed.

Mao Ziqing, director of the Civil Affairs Division, reflected that at present the relationship between the military and the people is good, but a large number of refugees urgently need to settle down, and because of the limited land in Xishan, it is best to establish some industrial facilities, which not only solves the problem of feeding the refugees, but also solves the problem of feeding the troops.

Director of Finance Lu Yuxi reported that the troops had embezzled and embezzled food and salaries, and that they should be strictly supervised, and suggested that a financial inspection bureau be established.

The commanders of all units collectively reported to Qingyun, He Laifu, Liu Chenghai, and Li Haiyang that they hoped to win some battles as soon as possible, improve morale, and let the recruits accept the test of blood and fire as soon as possible and become veterans.
