Chen Zikun didn't care to play anything. What is his identity, the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, the army major general, the Beiyang Xiaowei general, the Republic of China army first-class general, the winner of the National Light Medal and the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, and the emperor of Jiangdong Province, ruled for more than ten years, and the prestige has penetrated into the bones of Jiangbei's fathers.

People on the ground in Jiangbei who don't know Chen Zikun, think that he was the bandits in Nantai who were incorporated into the seventh mixed brigade, captured the provincial capital as a superintendent, this period of history bandits are familiar to the bandits, since ancient times the example of bandits gathering troops is not less, soldiers scattered into bandits is even more common, these bandit kings, but more than half of them have eaten food and served as soldiers, and have a natural sense of awe for senior officers.

Under the general's tiger authority, regardless of whether it is a bandit leader or a militia leader, they are all silent, and they dare not come out, in fact, Chen Zikun did not show his face and tremble, but his identity was there, and this is the so-called not being angry and self-authoritative.

Chen Zikun looked around, with a pleasant face, and asked everyone to report the name, everyone dared not disobey, and after all introduced themselves, he asked again: "Did you come yet?" ”

"Yes!" Chen Shou said, "The people from the Daqingshan detachment didn't come. ”

"Oh?" Chen Zikun was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that there was not even a brave man in the team.

Suddenly, a shout came from outside: "I'm late!" Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a man in his forties striding in, washed white military uniform, the two words "Eight Roads" on the armband are particularly clear, the military hat is worn meticulously, but there is no blue sky and white sun emblem, the body is tall, a belt is tied around the waist, hanging a pick, and there is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old guard behind him, leading a horse and carrying a gun, facing many bandits, with a look of contempt on his face.

The man saluted and said, "General Chen, I have admired my name for a long time, I am Wu Changqing of the Daqingshan Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, and I rushed over after receiving the invitation." ”

Someone said in a strange manner: "Captain of the Wu Detachment, why are you late, don't you give Commander-in-Chief Chen face." ”

Wu Changqing smiled faintly: "I'm afraid of being late, so I set off early, I didn't expect to encounter the devil's attack on the road, if it weren't for Ma Kuai, I'm afraid he would have died on the road, presumably someone wouldn't have reported to the devil." ”

The scene suddenly became noisy, Chen Zikun secretly said that the water in Jiangbei is really deep, and the relationship between all parties is complicated.

He coughed lightly, and the argument immediately stopped.

"Now that the people are here, let's have a meeting, I came to Jiangbei to open up the battlefield behind the enemy line on the order of the commission, and I have been here for three days, and the situation is even worse than I expected.

Commander-in-Chief Chen suddenly froze, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

An officer came in from outside, and said a few words to Chen Shou with his ear, Chen Shou's face changed greatly, and he stepped forward to report in a low voice, Chen Zikun shouted: "Bring it in!" ”

A moment later, a guy dressed as a man in the middle of the square entered, wearing a melon-skin hat, a plaster on his head, a pile of pills in a medicine box, and a small Japanese-made pistol.

This appearance is clearly a traitor spy, and the ancestral hall suddenly exploded, and one person pointed at the spy and asked, "Say, what are you doing here?" Are you trying to assassinate our Commander-in-Chief Chen? ”

Without waiting for the spy to answer, the man couldn't wait to say, "It must be the man surnamed Wu who sent a message to the Japanese and arrested him." ”

Wu Changqing sneered and was silent.

Chen Zikun asked Chen Shou: "Which village is this kid from?" ”

Chen Shoudao: "His name is Lu Sanli, he used to be the chief of the ten-mile shop, and later he pulled up the team and became the commander, and he has dozens of good guns under his hands, and he is also a character." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Ziming, you go to the trial." ”

Zhao Ziming grabbed the spy by the neck and went down, and then looked at the "commanders" in the field, all of them were angry and indignant, and they all seemed to point the finger at Wu Changqing.

Chen Zikun was not disturbed by their emotions, and said: "Go on, the Jiangbei anti-Japanese battlefield is scattered, and it has reached the point where it is necessary to sort it out, and this commander has decided to reorganize all the troops, unify the command, launch guerrilla warfare, control the countryside, and trap the Japanese invaders in the towns, so that they dare not go out of the city, dare not collect grain, and dare not sweep." ”

Everyone nodded yes, but they had their own ghosts in their hearts, Gai Longquan Chen Shou and other old subordinates were naturally happy to have someone to control the overall situation, but those grass kings were not happy, no one can say how the situation will develop now, Chairman Wang is about to start a new stove in Nanjing, whether Chongqing can survive until next year is a question, and it is not a good choice to follow the road surnamed Chen to the black.

Of course, these words can only be hidden in the stomach, and his face is full of promises, talking about the international situation with these reckless people is playing the piano to the cow, Chen Zikun saw that the time was almost up, so he asked Chen Shou to open the table.

Chen Shou had already slaughtered pigs and sheep, prepared more than a dozen jars of good wine, set up a table in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, and the commanders were in groups of three or five, drinking wine and eating meat, and feasting.

Chen Zikun asked Wu Changqing to sit with him by name, this person was neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm, which reminded him of Zhao Dahai, and when he talked about the topic of guerrilla warfare, Wu Changqing said: "Chairman Mao put forward a 16-character policy, which can be described as the essence of guerrilla warfare. ”

"Oh, can the captain of the martial arts detachment talk about it, everyone learns."

"The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, the enemy retreats and I pursue, and the odds of victory in guerrilla warfare; Advance and retreat in great strides, lure the enemy deep, concentrate forces, break through each one, and annihilate the enemy in a mobile war. Wu Changqing shook his fist, sparks flashing in his eyes.

Chen Zikun said with a smile: "This is the experience that you *** people have summed up in the anti-encirclement and suppression operation, I can't imagine that Brother Run, a literati, has such a profound use of strategy and tactics, not bad, not bad." ”

Wu Changqing was stunned: "Could it be that Commander-in-Chief Chen knows Chairman Mao. ”

"Back in Beiping, there was a one-sided relationship."

As he was talking, Zhao Ziming came in: "Uncle, I asked out, that kid was sent by Xia Jingqi to spy on the news, I found this in his medicine box, it should be pigeon dung, he brought a carrier pigeon." Chen Zikun's face sank: "It's not good, the news has leaked." ”

Chen Shou also came in, his face was very nervous: "The devils in the county town have gone out, and the puppet army has also dispatched a brigade to come to us." ”

Chen Zikun said: "I came just in time, while everyone is here, I will fight with the little devils, and it will be the mule or the horse that will come out and slip away." ”

Today, the leaders of the anti-Japanese armed forces within a radius of 300 miles have all arrived at Kushuijing, bringing more than a dozen guards, and some of them have brought two or three guards, these people alone are one or two hundred, plus the troops of Gai Longquan and Chen Shou, the strength is as high as 800! More than enough to deal with a squadron of disgruntled devils.

Chen Zikun has led the troops for many years, and it is not a problem to command this kind of regimental and battalion-level operations, if he commands and dispatches well, the leaders are also gearing up and eager to try, only Wu Changqing wants to speak and stop.

Chen Zikun knew that this Wu Changqing definitely had a story to tell, and that the regimental-level cadres of the Eighth Route Army should have experienced the anti-encirclement and suppression, the Long March and the old revolution, experienced in a hundred battles, and were definitely veterans in guerrilla warfare, so it should be helpful to listen to his opinions.

So he asked him privately: "Captain of the martial arts detachment, what do you think, you might as well speak up." ”

Wu Changqing said: "The devil is driven straight in, you should avoid its edge, and face the enemy head-on, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

Chen Zikun said: "From a tactical point of view, your words are right, but from a strategic point of view, if I don't dare to touch the Japanese invaders with absolute superiority at the beginning of my tenure, how can I convince the public?" ”

Wu Changqing said: "Our troops are more than the Japanese invaders, but sometimes more people may not be a good thing, no matter what, since the commander-in-chief has decided, I reserve my opinion and resolutely support it." ”

Chen Zikun nodded: "You just follow me." ”

Chen Shou was busy dispatching troops, he sent Liu Xiaoyong, the commander of a battalion under his command, to Chen Zikun as the captain of the guard, and led a squad to protect the safety of the commander-in-chief, and the rest of the troops drove to the devil's road to set up an ambush, set up a pocket formation, and just waited for the devil to come in.

The troops were urgently mobilized, and people everywhere shouted horses, Wu Changqing saw an opportunity to call his guards over, took out a pen and wrote a few lines in his notebook, tore them off and handed them to him: "Wu Ying, give the order to Political Commissar Ye." ”

"Yes!" The young man folded the paper and stuffed it into the pocket of his military jacket, gave a neat military salute, turned over and galloped away.

……

Captain Yamada rode on the back of a tall Oriental horse, and more than 80 imperial soldiers under his command marched in the fields of Nantai County with shiny bayonets and guns, the queue was neat and the pace was the same, while the formation of the Imperial Cooperative Army Brigade walking in front of the team was a little worse, sparse and sparse like sheep beans.

Xia Jingqi had a lot of eyeliner in the countryside and got accurate information, and it was indeed Chen Zikun, a senior general in Chongqing, who was airborne a few days ago, and he also posted a heroic post and summoned heroes from all walks of life in Jiangbei to Kushuijing for a meeting to discuss the anti-Japanese plan.

What kind of person Chen Zikun is, Xia Jingqi couldn't be clearer, it was a murderous father and an enemy, he actually dared to hold a meeting under the noses of the Japanese, this was a great opportunity for revenge, so he quickly reported to Yamada Taijun and asked him to send troops to kill him.

There is a squadron of Japanese soldiers stationed in Nantai County, which does not belong to the front line, and the defenders belong to the nature of the garrison force, so they are not satisfied, and the equipment is slightly poor, there are no mountain artillery and field artillery, only heavy machine guns and grenadiers, and a squadron of more than 100 people, except for the left-behind personnel and wounded soldiers, only more than 80 people can be on duty.

The proud Yamada believed that the 80-man Imperial Army was enough to deal with the 800-strong Chinese guerrillas, so he did not ask for help from the headquarters of Beitai, but attacked directly, and in order to make up for the lack of troops, he brought all the Imperial Allied troops in the county with him.

The motorcycles and trucks of the imperial army were lost in the previous pursuit battle, and now they can only advance on foot, the county seat is forty miles away from the bitter water well, and after walking for more than half an hour, suddenly the striker stepped on a mine, and suddenly blew up a piece, and then grenades on both sides of the road flew out like raindrops, and the ambush was ambushed!

The Yamada squadron did not mess up at all, and quickly counterattacked, the soldiers looked for cover, calmly shot and threw bombs, grenadiers were fired with a bang, and grenades exploded in the enemy formation, effectively suppressing the firepower of the guerrillas.

The enemy is like a porcupine full of long thorns, although it is right in the mouth but cannot be spoken, Chen Zikun is in a hurry, there is no way, the guerrillas are too poorly equipped, there is a serious lack of bullets, and the lethality of grenades is not strong, and many leaders come to the meeting with only shell guns, which have a limited role in field battles, and their strength is several times that of the enemy, but they cannot take advantage of it at all.

The grenadiers of the Japanese army were very powerful, and the shells exploded into the piles of people like eyes, and the few machine guns of the guerrillas were dumbed, and the enemy could not be suppressed by rifles and pistols alone, and many of them ran out of bullets and had to withdraw from the battle.

Gradually, the situation on the battlefield began to reverse, the Japanese army became stronger and stronger, the troops on the flanks saw that the situation was not good, and quietly slipped away, and Captain Yamada sent a team to outflank from the flank, directly threatening Chen Zikun's forward command, and turning defeat into victory was just around the corner.

"Commander-in-chief, withdraw." Chen Shou saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly persuaded.

Chen Zikun was frustrated, he overestimated the combat effectiveness of the guerrillas too much, and they could fight at such a level in ambushes.

Just as he was about to give the order, suddenly the Japanese army withdrew first.

It turned out that Captain Yamada received an urgent report that the guerrillas were attacking the county seat, and when he realized that he had been caught by the enemy's snake out of the hole, he hurriedly led his troops back to Nantai.

The hurried march back, only to find that the county seat was safe and sound, and the so-called siege was just a false shot.

"Guerrillas, great cunning." Captain Yamada said hatefully.
