Captives as 'Day Rapes'
"Guerrilla warfare....political commissar, chief of staff, if nothing else, we can only give up the Japanese breakthrough troops that are about to arrive...."After shaking his head helplessly, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua spoke.
"I agree with the commander-in-chief, as the founders of guerrilla warfare, we can be said to have a deep understanding of the threat of guerrilla warfare in war. If our enemies can really learn and apply guerrilla warfare to our pursuing troops. Now, then, our urgency for delay is no longer to pursue the Japanese breakthrough troops. Instead, we will find a way to eliminate the Japanese guerrillas who are sneaking up on us along the way as soon as possible. Otherwise, in the near future, the entire northern Jiangsu region will never be at peace, and will always be mired in the quagmire of guerrilla warfare...."Deng Xiaoping, the political commissar who had not spoken, said very approvingly.
"Destroy the Japanese guerrillas ... Commander-in-chief, commissar, it's not me who discourages everyone. The terrain of the entire northern Jiangsu region is favorable, and it can be called like a fish in water for the Japanese garrison troops stationed in the local area all the year round. More importantly, after several years of operation by the Japanese army, many ordinary people living in the local area have also identified with the rule of these Japanese troops to a certain extent. And our East China Field Army, who is not familiar with the place, can we completely annihilate these cunning little devils without the support of the common people? ”。 Regarding the answers of the two partners, Zuo Quan, as the chief of staff, did not have a very good attitude. Then he asked a rhetorical question with a solemn face.
"There is no way, we have to create a way. Otherwise, the hundreds of thousands of troops of our East China Field Army will, as the political commissar just said, be completely trapped in the quagmire of guerrilla warfare in northern Jiangsu by the Japanese guerrillas. At that time, with the successive reinforcements of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army, we will pay a huge price, and the northern Jiangsu region that we have worked so hard to fight will eventually return to the hands of the Japanese army. In a word, as the commander-in-chief of the East China Field Army, I will never allow this kind of thing to happen to us..."Liu Hua said with a resolute face.
"Alas...... I really didn't expect that we would also be plagued by guerrilla warfare. ”
After a long sigh, I thought of the current predicament of the troops, and thought of the war I had experienced. Political Commissar Deng Xiaoping replied thoughtfully.
"I think when we were in the base area, we had local people, and with the help of these local snakes, we could be called like a fish in water with the help of the little devils and the big chess guerrilla warfare. However, with the emergence of a large number of traitors, the guerrilla warfare we are good at has been greatly damaged by the Japanese puppet army to a certain extent. I'm thinking that if we can also catch some 'Japanese traitors' and act as our eyes, then these little devils who are fighting guerrilla warfare with us will definitely have nowhere to escape, and all of them will become fat on our lips..."
"Japanese traitor...."In response to the political commissar's answer, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan's face first showed a look of self-deprecation. Then, he replied helplessly.
"Political commissar, I don't admire our opponent little devils, but I only admire one of them, that is, as a soldier, on the battlefield, I swear to die and not be a prisoner....We have been fighting with the little devil for several years, and we should have a certain understanding of the temperament of the little devil. Even if we were able to catch some of the little devil captives, to be able to keep them from committing suicide, it would be very difficult. As for getting these captives to help us capture their comrades, it is simply impossible to do it..."
As Chief of Staff Zuo Quan's voice fell, the three of them, including the combat staff officers in the war room, all frowned and began to think of specific solutions. And just when everyone was worried and didn't have anything to do. An excited voice came from the nearby telecommunications room. Immediately after that, the slightly excited voice of the communications staff officer appeared in front of everyone. After a long period of bloody battles and continuous political offensives of our army, the remaining 40,000 Imperial Allied troops in the encirclement surrendered en masse when the Japanese army was completely annihilated. At present, Deputy Commander Wang is mobilizing heavy troops to accept the surrender of these imperial allied forces. Deputy Commander Wang asked for instructions on what to do with these captives of the Imperial Allied Army who surrendered..."
"The Imperial Allied Army has surrendered....great, commander-in-chief, political commissar, anyway, the two mountains in front of us, at least one of them has been solved...."In the face of such exciting good news, Zuo Quan, who was still frowning just now, couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and then spoke.
"The chief of staff is right, solving the Japanese puppet army units in the encirclement has at least eliminated the first major problem in our hearts at present. All that remains is to deal with the guerrillas left behind by the Japanese breakout troops..."Political Commissar Deng Xiaoping, who also replied very approvingly, very well enlivened the solemn atmosphere in the war room because of the telegram of the pursuing troops.
And at this moment, a trace of excitement also appeared on Liu Hua's face. However, Liu Hua's excitement was not because of the sudden good news in front of him. But because of him, through the good news in front of him, he suddenly thought of a specific way to solve the dilemma of his pursuing troops.
"Political commissar, chief of staff, in the past, how did we deal with these prisoners of the Imperial Allied Army?" Thinking of the feasibility of his own method, Liu Hua's face immediately showed an excited look. Facing the two partners in front of him, he asked eagerly.
"Prisoners of the Imperial Army?" In the face of Liu Hua's sudden rhetorical question, there was a hint of doubt on the faces of the two people.
However, after seeing the excited look on Liu Hua's face in front of him, he still replied very decisively:
"Commander-in-Chief, when I was in the Northeast. There are two main scenarios. At the platoon level, including commanders below the platoon level, ordinary soldiers, as long as they have not done evil deeds and have passed the political examination, we will try our best to mobilize them to join the army, replenish the losses of our army, and expand our strength. For those soldiers and officers who have done evil deeds, as long as they do not meet the standard of shooting, we will be punished with several years, or even more than ten years, according to their crimes. For officers above the platoon level who have not done anything evil, we will also mobilize them to join the army and send them to the training team for training, and after passing our training, they will be assigned to the unit and serve as the corresponding commander..."
"Yes, that's it. Chief of Staff, all I want is your words..."Liu Hua said excitedly.
Seeing the two partners in front of him with puzzled faces, Liu Hua did not explain, but continued to speak: "This time, we captured more than 40,000 Imperial Alliance troops. According to our original plan, these 40,000 people, at least several thousand, will be punished by hard labor or even shooting. ”
Seeing that the chief of staff in front of him nodded very approvingly, Liu Hua continued to speak: "This time, because of the urgency of the war, and because we do not have a stable base area, we have temporarily exempted these prisoners from punishment. However, although there was no servitude, there was no need to shoot. However, we must not spare these traitors in vain, they must do something for our army to atone for the crimes he has committed..."
As he spoke, the corners of Liu Hua's mouth showed a sneer. At the same time, Zuo Quan, the chief of staff, who is his old partner, also understood Liu Hua's inner thoughts for the first time. Then, he asked very excitedly.
"Commander-in-chief, you mean to let these captives who meet the conditions act as the 'Japanese traitors' that the political commissar just mentioned. Lead us in search of the Japanese guerrillas hiding in the northern Jiangsu region......"
"Yes, that's what it means..."Liu Hua replied very approvingly. ..., "These traitors have committed so many crimes before. If nothing else, it must be the hardcore supporter of the little devil, that is, the iron-clad traitor. I believe that these traitors must be very familiar with the situation in the entire northern Jiangsu region, including the northern Jiangsu region, and the landlords and ordinary people who completely fell to the Japanese army. If we let these spineless traitors act as our eyes, you say, in the whole process of the war, will it have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort..."
Looking at Liu Hua with an excited face in front of him, the face of Chief of Staff Zuo Quan was also shrouded in excitement. Then, he replied very approvingly: "Commander-in-chief, we can not only let these traitors be our eyes. More importantly, we can give these traitors specific tasks to destroy the enemy according to the crimes they have committed...."
"For example, if there are traitors who have committed big crimes, we will order them to at least lead us to discover more than ten little devils who can hide....as long as the task is completed, our punishment for him will be appropriately reduced, or even directly let him go....If this is the case, I believe that these traitors will definitely line up and ask to show us the way, to eliminate the little devil guerrillas hiding in the northern Jiangsu region...."
"Chief of Staff, you're so right, that's what I meant..."
Seeing the two partners in front of him, they were like two profiteers, discussing how to squeeze the captured Imperial Cooperative Army troops for a while. Political Commissar Deng Xiaoping's face immediately showed a wry smile. However, in the duties of the political commissar, he still reminded him very helplessly.
"Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff, I have no opinion on what you think. It's just that in the process of implementation, you must not be too pushy. Otherwise, not only will it not have the desired effect, but it will backfire, and even make these Imperial Army captives jump over the wall in a hurry..."
"Commissar, don't worry. This time, we will definitely let the Japanese guerrillas hiding in northern Jiangsu have nowhere to escape and annihilate them all in northern Jiangsu...."Liu Hua replied in a good mood.
