[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 495: Fighting for training (ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

With the big war just around the corner, it is very necessary to hold a pre-war meeting, especially since the troops have just completed a small reorganization and have not yet made their debut. Whether this first battle is fought well or not is directly related to the morale of the soldiers and the subsequent development of the troops, and Ma Zheng has to be cautious.

"Commander, since the people of the Huyan family are preparing to attack Yanggu County, why should we go to join in this fun?" Xu Weiguo asked in a deep voice.

Ma Zheng said: "We must make up for this excitement, if we don't make up, the credit for this battle will become the Huyan family, you must know that we will still mix in Luxi in the future, and we must let the people know about our army." As long as the common people recognize us, we can survive in this land. ”

"The commander is right, an army without the support of the common people is a rootless duckweed, and it may be wiped out at any time! So I'm in favor of fighting this battle! Xu Haifeng said immediately.

"Commander, how are we going to fight?" Xie Wensheng also asked.

"If you want to fight, you have to fight hard, since the goal of the Huyan family is the county seat, then we won't rob them, it's just a county town, we want the vast rural areas." Ma Zheng said.

"Commander, you mean to strike at the township strongholds below the Japanese army?" Liang Shangren, who had just been appointed commander of the First Regiment of the Independent Brigade, asked.

Liang Shangren is a native of Beiping, joined the party in Beiping in 33 years, and was transferred to the deputy secretary of the local party committee in Shanxi by the party organization in 35 years because of his excellent work. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he was transferred to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region as a guerrilla leader, and then he was transferred to the Suicha Military Region to work.

At first, Ma Zheng arranged him to Shangdu County as the county magistrate, and was appreciated by Ma Zheng because of his outstanding work ability, so he was transferred to the regular army as an infantry battalion commander. This time I went south to Shandong, because the vast majority of the senior officers of the Suicha Military Region were recorded in the files of the little devil Tegaoke, it was very easy to expose the information of the troops.

Therefore, in addition to Xie Wensheng and Xu Weiguo, Ma Zheng's other fierce generals who often led troops to fight abroad were left by Ma Zheng in the Suicha Military Region, but young military and political officials like Liang Shangren became the objects of Ma Zheng's dependence, and a large number of battalion and company commanders went south with the army. Some time ago, the army was expanded, and Liang Shangren was promoted to the first batch of middle and senior officers of the Shandong Eighth Route Army.

Ma Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, I just want to clean up the countryside of Yanggu and give the people a clear sky." ”

"Commander, with our troops, we can attack the county town with the Huyan family, and we will never let it be predominant!" Liang Shangren said.

Xie Wensheng said in a deep voice: "Commander Liang, although our army has more than 6,000 people, we don't know how much actual combat strength there is, so rashly attacking the county town heavily guarded by the Japanese army, and taking the initiative to attack the Japanese army with strong combat effectiveness, I don't know how many people we can leave behind after a big war." Therefore, I agree with the commander's tactics of targeting the Japanese army and the relatively weak rural strongholds. ”

"Although the number of Japanese troops in the countryside is not large, and the combat effectiveness is relatively poor. But it is precisely because they are weak and we are strong that we will regard it as the main target of this war, after all, persimmons still have to be pinched softly. ”

"Hehehehe"

Ma Zheng smiled and said, "This time, we not only have to pinch the soft persimmons, but also pick the remaining big fruits." You see, this is a map of Yanggu County, if you look at how many towns and villages there are around Yanggu County, any township does not have tens of thousands of people, which is comparable to a county in our north. ”

"We have just come to Shandong now, and although we already have five or six thousand troops in our hands, it can be regarded as a strong soldier and a strong horse, and we have achieved remarkable results. However, the weakness of our lack of people has not been solved, and it will become more and more intense with our development. Fighting a war is to kill people, and it is not only the eggs of new recruits who die, but also some old fritters and combat backbones in the army. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Zheng stood up and calmed down, and continued: "Shandong is a large and densely populated province, far from being comparable to the barren Suicha region. Therefore, both the Japanese devils and the Chinese attach great importance to the land of Shandong, so our task in Shandong is extremely difficult, and it is not easy to gain a foothold in Shandong and open up the situation. ”

"Now we have made certain achievements due to fate, but if we want to be truly recognized by the people of Shandong, we can't just hide and hide all the time, so we want to take advantage of this chaos this time to hang out the golden signboard of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible, so that all the people of Shandong know that our * Eighth Route Army is fighting back, so that they can identify with us from the bottom of their hearts. Therefore, I think that the main purpose of our war is to uproot the stronghold and absorb the puppet army, and the second is to get in touch with the Huyan family, and it is best to reach a verbal agreement with them. ”

"Commander, what exactly are we going to do?" Xie Wensheng said.

"We are still very weak now, although we have more than 6,000 people now, but the vast majority of the soldiers are brave and reckless, so we are now a big fat man, who looks quite strong, but in fact it will fall apart after a few more steps. Coupled with the fact that our weapons and ammunition are limited, only a part of our troops are fully equipped, and more than half of the remaining fighters are unarmed. Therefore, we have to make ourselves really strong, or the old way, to play as a substitute. ”

"Playing as a substitute?"

"That's right, it's to play instead of training! Although it is a bit risky to use the little devil as a whetstone, as long as the Huyan family fights with the little devil, then more than a dozen large and small strongholds around Yanggu County will become the turtle in our urn. At that time, if we go to attack the devil's stronghold, I guarantee that the little devil will not have the energy to take care of us. ”

Xie Wensheng thought about it thoughtfully, and then said: "This is not a bad way, the elite soldiers are fought in actual combat, and if you fight a few more battles, the troops that are instigated will become elite." ”

Ma Zheng nodded and said: "Well, now I will assign a combat mission, this time the whole army will bring all the baggage and ammunition, the whole army will take the battalion as a unit, a mounted infantry battalion with an unarmed infantry battalion to act together, the target is the major stronghold checkpoints in Yanggu and Dong'e counties." This time, each of you will take a troop with you, and each of them will have to take five strongholds in a week, and equip me with all the unarmed infantry battalions. Did you hear it all? ”

"Clear"

"Alright, let's do it"

With Ma Zheng's order, the Independent Brigade and Xie Wensheng and Xu Weiguo quickly took action, and the power of a war machine composed of more than 10,000 people running at high speed was still very shocking, at least Lu Guoqiang and others thought so.

Yanggu County's garrison commander Apeiichiro Shaozo and Iijima Shaozo who came to support also felt that something was wrong at this time, since Iijima Shaozo returned two days ago, the entire Yanggu County was calm and frightened.

Especially these days, there is no longer half a person on the street except for beggars begging for food, and most of the shops and restaurants are strangely closed. Even the second-rate little hooligans who used to wander around the streets without anything did not know where to hide, and the scene was very strange.

If these mole-like filthy people are the most sensitive, and even they don't want to appear on the street, it only means that they feel the danger.

Apeiichiro and Iijima Shaosa did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent their traitors and two devils and those hidden Japanese businessmen and spies and other chaotic forces to reconnoitre. But there was no news, and it was as if all of a sudden they were tired of the hustle and bustle of the worldly life, and became real hermits.

However, then a piece of news surprised Apeiichiro, which was reported by a second lieutenant at the gate gate of Yanggu County, who said that a large number of people poured into the county every day, and a large number of convoys of commercial banks returned to Yanggu County.

Apeiichiro knew that it was bad, and it must be that there was something wrong with these people who suddenly poured into the county, so it alarmed those ordinary people and hooligans. (To be continued.) )
