Chapter 503: The Huyan Family Is Here (10th Update)
[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 503: The Huyan family is here (ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) )
After all these years of experience in leading soldiers, Ma Zheng came to the conclusion that a soldier who has never been on the battlefield is a recruit after all, and a soldier who has never seen blood cannot be called a qualified soldier. Only by witnessing death and experiencing the test of life and death can a unit have a chance to cultivate its military spirit. The military soul is precious, and the combat effectiveness and fighting will of a unit are ultimately embodied in the military soul.
Looking at the clumsy combat skills of the soldiers below, Ma Zheng was full of emotion. These people are far from the defeated generals of the first battalion of the original teaching regiment, and I think that when they first came to this era, although the conditions in all aspects were not as good as now, the group of people around them at that time were really good. But think about it, the original group of people were all iron-blooded elite soldiers who had been tested by the Long March, and they were by no means comparable to these stupid ducks in front of them.
Don't look at Ma Zheng's difficulties at the time, but he never worried about anything. Because Ma Zheng knew what kind of people he was bringing with him, as long as those who could survive the Long March could survive until after liberation, almost everyone was an officer and a general.
To tell the truth, the Eighth Route Army was able to drive Lao Chiang's 4.3 million army from only 350,000 to the mainland, mainly relying on these people. How many people can be cultivated in the big fart of Yan'an, and it is not supported by the old foundation of the Long March.
Take his troops in the Suicha area as an example, the reason why they have been able to develop so rapidly is not because of this light. Where did the first batch of officers under Ma Zheng come from, and they were not selected from the old Red Army during the Long March, such as Huang Sicheng, Wang Hansen, Chen Xudong and others.
But these people in front of him are far behind in this regard, watching the soldiers constantly being knocked down by the little devils, Ma Zheng also has a colicy in his heart, but for the rebirth of the Chinese nation, and for this group of stragglers to become real predators, Ma Zheng can only endure the pain and let them experience this pain, after all, only the pain of the skin will understand the truth that war is not child's play.
On the battlefield, 37,800 people on both sides exchanged fire, and in terms of the battle situation, Ma Zheng's troops now have an absolute advantage. The Japanese army was defeated and retreated, and the battle situation in the northeast was nearing the end, and only fifty or sixty little devils in the southwest were still resisting stubbornly. However, these people are also at the end of their crossbows, and they can't make any climate, and they will be torn to pieces by the fighting warriors in a few minutes.
Although the casualties were very large, because their enemy was also a group of recruits who had barely been on the battlefield, the casualties of this war horse Zheng were not small, but they were far from being tragic.
Before the battle was over, Ma Zheng ordered Lei Zhenhua to lead his troops to start cleaning up the battlefield in the northeast. Through this training, Ma Zheng believed that the newly established Shandong Independent Brigade would become the real mainstay of Shandong's anti-Japanese struggle.
The price paid is heavy, but the harvest is of course extremely rich. Although the mining area of Yanggu County is not as rich as the ******** area of Shanxi, the seizure of Ma Zheng's department is still very satisfactory. In addition to a large number of weapons and ammunition, the more than 2,800 miners rescued alone are a very valuable asset.
In addition, in order to crack down on the squire clans who defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, Ma Zheng also asked the intelligence department to collect some evidence of the crimes of local evil forces in Yanggu County. Many of these families have industries in the mining area, and Ma Zheng will naturally not be polite to these people, and orders the troops to beat the rabbits with grass and take the properties of these families together.
Ma Zheng's harvest is not small, and Liang Shangren and others are also very good. Although the Japanese strongholds in the towns and villages are not as rich as the mining areas, there are many good things in the strongholds. In particular, the weapons and ammunition that Ma Zheng's headquarters urgently needed now were stored in every Japanese stronghold.
After all the troops returned to Jingyanggang the next morning, Ma Zheng and the others couldn't help but smile as soon as they counted the loot. After fishing in troubled waters overnight, Ma Zheng's troops destroyed 7 strongholds and roadblocks of the Japanese puppet army, destroyed a mining area controlled by the enemy, and killed 1,387 Japanese puppet soldiers, including 427 Japanese soldiers, 176 Japanese puppet soldiers were captured, and 3,211 miners and other hostages persecuted by the Japanese army were rescued.
976 Type 38 rifles, 1,128 medium and formal rifles, and 21 light and heavy machine guns were seized. At the same time, 6 mortars, 8 grenadiers, 2 Type 92 infantry guns were also seized, and the confiscated Japanese counterfeit assets worth 390,000 yuan, as well as three large boxes of gold and silver.
The great gains made the fighters greatly reduce the fear of war in their hearts, despite the sacrifices of each company in the previous few days' battles. But these people see the hope of life, and Ma Zheng wants to establish such a belief in their hearts, that is, little devils are nothing more than this.
As long as we work together as one, the little devils will one day be driven out of China by all of us, all the unequal treaties imposed on us by the great powers will be abolished, and one day the Chinese government and people will say no to all imperialism. This is the most direct benefit that war brings to the Chinese, of course, the price is also heavy, awakening is not waking up, it is bloodshed.
As the saying goes, the rebirth of the phoenix must go through the test of life and death, and China and the entire Chinese nation will be shocked by the rebirth. Chinese with a conscience firmly believe that no one doubts the rise of the Chinese nation.
However, when the casualties of the troops came up, Ma Zheng was silent. Looking at the casualty statistics table in his hand, Ma Zheng's heart was extremely heavy. This time it was just an attack on some small strongholds where the Japanese garrison was not many, but the casualties of the troops reached a terrifying 1,000 overnight. This is almost one-sixth of the total strength that Ma Zheng now directly controls, far beyond Ma Zheng's expectations.
However, when Ma Zheng went around the companies, he saw that the morale of the troops was not as low as he imagined, but showed a high-spirited momentum, and Ma Zheng felt a lot better. However, the poor combat effectiveness of the troops still made Ma Zheng worried, and if this continued, this battle would be really difficult to fight.
Two or three days have passed since the Battle of Yanggu, but his impact has only just been felt. Not long after Ma Zheng and the others returned to Jingyanggang, Hu Yanjun, a key member of the Huyan family, personally came to contact Ma Zheng's department.
The purpose of Hu Yanjun's visit this time Ma Zheng already knew, and apart from cooperating with each other, Ma Zheng really couldn't think of anything else for them. To be honest, Ma Zheng still attaches great importance to the first ally of the department in Shandong, so Ma Zheng personally received this Huyan army.
Sure enough, as Ma Zheng expected, Hu Yanjun said their requirements straight to the point as soon as they met, and the topic was cooperation in addition to cooperation. Regarding the cooperation with a landlord like the Huyan family, Ma Zheng still has some concerns in his heart.
This is not because Ma Zheng has a big opinion on the landlord class, but entirely because Ma Zheng is very suspicious of the anti-Japanese determination of these pampered landlords and old wealthy, and after historical proof, the determination of the landlord class is far inferior to that of the poor people, and as long as there are sufficient interests, it is difficult for Ma Zheng to ensure that the landlord class does not betray the revolution.
And in this special period, one will accidentally fall into the trap of a little devil. In addition, the landlords in the entire Shandong region have already fled almost, and the rest are not traitors and two dogs. It is naturally no problem for these big landlords to ask them to contribute some money to support the anti-Japanese resistance, but it is almost impossible to get these people to go to the battlefield, and it takes the courage to put life and death aside from fighting face-to-face with devils.
Although the Huyan family performed very well in this Yanggu Battle, who can guarantee that they can keep it all the time, you must know that before the Japanese army forced them, the entire Huyan family also belonged to the Shunmin clan in Shandong. This time, it was just set aside by Ma Zheng, and the Japanese army wanted to blame them for the blame, so they had the courage to resist.
Ma Zheng has always been not optimistic about this kind of armed force that is forced to fight back, but the performance of the Huyan family this time really made Ma Zheng's eyes shine. Not only is his own strength strong enough, but also there are masters in command, and being able to play around the point in such a small and big place is definitely not something that ordinary people can play.
You must know that encirclement and reinforcement at such a short distance simply do not have the strategic depth required in tactics. Once the enemy forms a two-sided attack, it will not be a reinforcement from the surrounding point, but a belly and back enemy. (To be continued.) )
