This trick worked, as soon as the staff officers and the captain of the team led by Shimizu Dazuo said the order of the joint captain, the devils immediately shrank their troops, and occupied more than a dozen courtyards in the west and south of the village, and no longer took the initiative to fight street battles with the Eighth Road, and the soldiers of the teaching brigade in the village, under the intensive artillery fire of the Japanese army, tried to attack the courtyard of the Japanese army, and were suppressed by the machine guns and grenadiers of the devils and could not get close, and they could only retreat to their own positions, and the Nanmazhuang became a stalemate.

The experience accumulated by this Shimizu Daizo during the Northeast and the Anti-Japanese Coalition Operations, and referring to the German army's materials on special operations, he believed that he had already obtained the essence of special operations.

This turned a wing into a special warfare wing, and if it wanted to succeed once in Fuping with the aim of attacking the head organs and rear organs of the Eighth Route from a long distance, it was thought that this set of tactics was invincible in the world, but as everyone knew that the heads of the important organs and military regions in Banyugou in Fuping at that time had long since withdrawn to a safe area, and the personnel killed by Qingshui were basically personnel of the less important organs and organizations of the military region that were scattered and stationed; strictly speaking, from the perspective of military strikes, the battle of Fuping of the Qingshui Special Warfare Wing was a failure! It was not as successful as the sneak attack on the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army on the Southern Front.

From the special combat team to the special operations wing, Shimizu Daizo has always forgotten one point, he is fighting with an army that is completely different from the national army, the British and American forces, the Soviet army, etc., this army has been fighting almost every day for almost ten years before Shimizu Dazuo came to the Guannai!

There are capable people in the Eighth Route Army, such as Qingshui's special operations wing. No matter how you train. He still wears big-toed shoes on his feet. At this point, as early as 37, the commander of the 115th Division of our Eighth Route Army pointed out this weakness of the Japanese army.

For example, Division Commander Lin mentioned in his summary after the Battle of Pingxingguan that "the enemy's infantry had a very poor attacking spirit, their clothing was also heavy, they wore leather shoes, they were not accustomed to climbing mountains, and they had to rely on aircraft, artillery, and tanks when fighting." Our army must take advantage of the enemy's passage through the mountains, or lure the enemy into the mountains to fight and annihilate them. Because of the mountain battle, the enemy infantry will not seize the mountain. The role of aircraft, artillery, and cavalry was greatly reduced, or even completely ineffective. ”

The Eighth Route Army wore cloth shoes and straw sandals, which were conducive to mountain marching, which Qing Shui didn't notice, why his soldiers were always at a disadvantage when they stabbed against the Eighth Route on the hillside, because most of the mountains in North China were mixed with sand and gravel, and the big scalp shoes were slippery when stepped on, and the soles of the feet were easy to mix with garlic, while the cloth shoes of the Eighth Route had great friction and were not easy to slip if they stood firmly.

There are also combat characteristics for Japanese soldiers. With a limited number of battles with the Japanese army, this division commander Lin discovered the weaknesses of many of his opponent's individual soldiers. Accordingly, prescriptive countermeasures have been taken.

For example, he said, "The enemy is very arrogant, and the guards in the marching garrison are very lazy, and they are not fond of fortifications." Our army should take advantage of the enemy's march, wait for him to reach the terrain that is unfavorable to the enemy, and use one part of our army to restrain his advance, and use our main force to strike at his flanks and rear, or take advantage of the enemy's initial arrival in a place where he has not yet gained a firm foothold. ”

"The enemy's clothing has a protective color, and during the battle, it is often evacuated and opened, the enemy is very quiet, and the enemy does not like to climb the mountain, so the enemy's target is often hidden. Before the battle, our troops must pay attention to ascertaining the enemy's situation, and should not take the risk of making decisions on combat arrangements and actions when the enemy's situation is unclear. ”

Although the enemy's attacking spirit was not good, he refused to surrender his guns despite the rout for fear of being captured and killed, making it difficult for the battle to end in a short time. In battle, all units of our army must control the necessary reserves in order to cope with new changes after the defeat of the enemy. ”

Division Commander Lin believed that the Eighth Route Army must approach the enemy with 'secret' and 'rapid' movements during the battle, carry out a fierce charge, and rush into the enemy's gap for hand-to-hand combat. As soon as our army comes into contact with the enemy's infantry, the enemy's aircraft and artillery will lose their effect, and this is a good combat method to avoid the enemy's aircraft artillery and our army's aircraft artillery being insufficient during offensive battles.

Cadres at all levels and all soldiers of our army should have the spirit and movement of fighting independently, and the formation should be dispersed and deep during battle, and should not be too dense and cause excessive casualties.

In addition, those who did not surrender their guns even though the enemy army was defeated, wounded, or scattered, were not brave and resolute, but feared that our troops would capture them alive and kill them. In the battle of Pingxingguan, although the enemy was wounded, he still killed me with a knife and a gun, and refused to surrender his gun until he died. After the war, our army received a lot of diaries and letters from the enemy, the contents of which were homesick and longing for his wife, and none of them had the spirit of voluntary combat, and his coming to China to fight was forced by state decrees. Therefore, after the Battle of Pingxingguan, I ordered the infantry team to learn three Japanese shouts, such as "do not kill Japanese prisoners", "treat Japanese prisoners preferentially", and "heal the wounded of Japanese soldiers". On 4 November, when the battle took place in Guangyang, south of Zhengtai Road, most of our officers and men had not yet learned these three Japanese sentences, and only a few officers and men had learned to shout them. However, as a result of these shouts, a Japanese soldier was captured. In this way, it is not difficult for the Japanese army to dismantle its political propaganda. In the future, propaganda must be carried out against Japanese officers and soldiers, and preferential treatment must be given to prisoners.

It not only made decisions based on the operational characteristics of the Japanese army's individual troops, but also made a strategic analysis of the operations of the entire large corps, such as: The enemy adopts the principle of fighting on the outside line and adopts the method of splitting the route and attacking together, and the enemy's infantry is not as brave as our army, and it relies only on heavy weapons and high weapons. Strategically, our army should consciously occupy the position of fighting on the inner line, conscientiously adopt the method of concentrating the main forces to carry out various movements, thoroughly concentrate forces and weapons in the decisive battle, concentrate dozens of planes and dozens of hundreds of artillery pieces, storm the enemy's road, and annihilate it.

After victory, troops, aircraft, and artillery should be quickly transferred to attack the enemy's flank on other routes. When it is too late to transfer the infantry from A to B to participate in the battle, at least the aircraft and artillery (transported by car and train) that do not attempt to engage the enemy in a decisive battle must be thoroughly concentrated on the aspect of attempting a decisive battle with the enemy. For example, in North China, all planes in North China, even those in the vicinity of Wuhan, can be bombed at the point where a decisive battle is attempted to be fought against the enemy, and the troops in that area can be assisted in annihilating the enemy within three or five days from a certain date to a certain day.

Our army should not disperse its forces to defend everywhere, and should not set up a defensive line that is hundreds of miles long, because if it is covered, the fortifications will not be strong everywhere, the troops will be weak everywhere, and it will be easy for the enemy to break through everywhere. When the enemy attackes, he often concentrates his forces to attack us a little, and if our army defends everywhere, it will not be able to defend everywhere. If our army sets up a broad front and is broken through by the enemy a little, our entire front is in danger of being chaotic and retreating.

Therefore, our army should only select a number of points in depth on the key lines that the enemy must always pass, such as making use of good terrain to build the strongest fortifications, with a small number of elite troops, equipped with sufficient food and ammunition, carrying out full political agitation to defend the position, and declaring strict combat discipline as the idea of holding on for several months. Our main forces are controlled in a standby position, and when the enemy has not attacked our position, or when it bypasses the flank of our position, it will be slammed into it. This is the link between attack and defense, that is, offensive defense.

At the same time, our army must send most guerrilla units, each with a small radio station, to carry out attacks on the enemy's transportation lines, cut off the transportation of grain and ammunition and vehicles, and destroy automobiles, roads, railways, and so on. Our army should combine regular warfare with guerrilla warfare.

In a night battle, the enemy's planes, artillery, tanks, and cavalry were almost useless, and the enemy's officers and men had no experience in night fighting, so our army should make every effort to use night combat to annihilate the enemy. Large-scale night battles can be fought on moonlit nights, small-scale night battles can be fought on nights with Starfire, and night battles can be fought to harass enemies in dark nights. It is also necessary to coordinate night operations with day operations, and to expand the results of night battles during the day.

Our army must learn to make strong fortifications and accurate shooting skills, cover with strong fortifications, reduce casualties and maintain positions, and kill and injure a large number of enemies with accurate shooting skills. The enemy's attacking spirit is very poor, and if I do not retreat every time I reach a few dozen meters in front of the offensive position, the enemy will not advance or retreat for several hours, and it is most convenient for us to shoot and kill at this time. If I attack in smaller parts, the enemy in front of our position will be defeated than immediately retreated. Hand grenades are a weapon that the enemy fears, and our army should bring more and use them more often. Everyone needs to be able to use it.

In the battle of Pingxingguan, our army was hidden on the side of the enemy's entrance road, about 30 to 60 li away from the enemy, for a week long, under the cover of the masses, the enemy did not know the enemy's target, the enemy's traitors also distorted the role, and the enemy was completely aware of the equipment of a certain unit of our friendly army. After the war, the victories and wounded soldiers of our army were carried by the masses, and our army was able to buy food even in the mountains, and the masses who had fled in the area returned home. This shows the importance of discipline and mass work in the troops. When it comes to the replenishment of manpower and material resources for the long-term war of resistance, it is not even necessary to clear the enemy's fortified walls and launch guerrilla warfare.

The enemy's firing is quite accurate, and the formation is dispersed and can be used for scattered warfare, and the enemy's tactics are the set set on the Japanese 'battle outline,' and its movements can often be guessed in advance, but no new creations and changes can be seen. Their spirit of sacrifice and hardship and combat experience were far inferior to those of the Chinese soldiers.

The enemy is trying his best to cultivate a puppet government and a puppet army within the line of occupation. Our army should send many guerrilla units deep into the vast areas within the enemy's occupation line, carry out guerrilla attacks vertically and horizontally, contain and weaken the big enemy, destroy and expel the small enemy, recover lost territory, sabotage pseudo-organizations, mobilize the masses to help the government and the army in the war of resistance, and contain and disperse the officers and men so that they can continue the war of resistance and prevent them from being left to flee and used by the enemy. It must be known that if the enemy does not cultivate traitors as a tool, he will not be able to rule, and it is impossible to collect taxes, do business, and arrest anti-Japanese elements.

In fact, in the later operations, the generals of the other Eighth Route Army analyzed the operational characteristics and weaknesses of the Japanese army more systematically and thoroughly, so the Japanese army could not wipe out and drive away the Eighth Route Army from North China with great effort, on the contrary, the reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to occupy so many base areas and develop hundreds of thousands of armed forces was also because the opponent was analyzed too thoroughly!

And the Japanese army is too rigid and backward in this regard, and Shimizu Daisa is still a middle and senior officer who has changed a little, but the thinking mode cultivated by the Japanese army in his bones still can't be changed! Get a special operations wing, change the soup without changing the medicine, to put it bluntly, it is an ordinary wing that strengthens the physical fitness of soldiers! (To be continued......)
