Zhu Zi saw that his heart was on fire, and shouted: "Big brother, let's rush down and fight with the little devil!" As he spoke, he took out the shell gun and was about to rush down, but was stopped by Zheng Weiguo.

Listening to the sorrowful screams of the people before they died, Zheng Weiguo's heart was like a knife. He clenched his hands tightly, pinched his fingers white, and he couldn't help but jump down immediately to fight with the devil. But as the commander of the security regiment, he could not let the brothers die in vain.

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said, "Don't be impulsive! The devil is blocked below, how can we rush down in one class? The brothers cannot be allowed to die in vain. ”

The pillar was anxious and said, "But the devil is slaughtering the villagers, and we just don't care?" ”

Zheng Weiguo didn't speak, he closed his eyes tightly, but tears still flowed down his cheeks. He remembered the day when Xiaobao had just been full moon, when he and his father came back from the field, and saw black smoke rising from the house......

Zhuzi has been with Zheng Weiguo for seven or eight years, and he has never seen him cry, and he doesn't know what to do for a while. Fortunately, Zheng Weiguo quickly controlled his emotions, and the memories of the Northeast Army veterans just now suddenly popped up, making him deeply trapped in the grief of breaking the country and losing his family.

Zheng Weiguo saw that the pillar and the brothers were looking at him with concern, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "I don't have anything to do, but I just recall some past events. He paused, and then said, "I know that you want to go down and fight the devils, but we can't sacrifice in vain. The War of Resistance may last for seven or eight years, so we must live well and not die in front of the devils. ”

There is a passage in the Art of War, which says: Therefore, there will be five dangers, you must die and kill, you must live and be captured, you can be insulted by anger, you can be humiliated by being honest, and you can be annoyed by loving the people. All these five will be passed, and the disaster of using soldiers will also be used. If the army is overturned and killed, there will be five dangers, and it must not be overlooked. There will be five dangers, talking about the five mistakes that generals are prone to make. The fifth point is that you can't love the people too much, or the enemy will use this against you.

On the surface, this fifth point seems to run counter to our army's principle of caring for the people, but in fact it is unified. Just like the current situation, if Zheng Weiguo saves the people at all costs, then the devils may often attack innocent people in the future, so as to achieve the goal of forcing the security team to fight a decisive battle with them. In this way, not only will they be in a passive position militarily, but they will also bring greater disasters to the common people.

Of course, it is very difficult to grasp this degree in actual combat, and it is all up to the commander to save or not to save him, and it is also difficult to judge who is right and who is wrong. In most cases, the Eighth Route Army often chose to sacrifice itself to protect the people, and often paid a huge price for this. The most typical is the battle of Xue Village, Suning County, Hebei Province, where a main regiment was forced to fight hard with the devils in order to cover the transfer of the people, and the regiment commander and political commissar were both killed, and almost all the troops were wiped out.

Well, that's a bit far. The battle continued, and the devils divided their troops to hold several important places, so that the various units of the security regiment could not continue to attack and harass. Its main force continued to burn, kill, and plunder in several villages near the official road. There is no such thing as a three-light policy, but in fact, since the First Sino-Japanese War, devils have often done this. This bestiality is already buried in the blood of the Japanese.

At present, only the reconnaissance platoon and the second squad of the guard platoon can pose a threat to the enemy, but they are covering the transfer of civilians from several villages. These villagers dragged their families and moved slowly, and once the devils were absorbed, the consequences were unimaginable.

Zheng Weiguo tried to calm himself down and see if there was a way to get rid of the devil's blockade. But after thinking about it for a long time, there was still no good way, so I had to wait for it to get dark. Devils are also good at night fighting, but China's night is definitely patriotic.

Li Fugui is also a person who likes to think, and it is said that people who like to be lazy have such a habit. He thought for a while and said, "Tuanza, I have a way, maybe I can give it a try!" ”

Zhu Zi hurriedly said: "What way?" Speak, speak! ”

Zheng Weiguo also nodded encouragingly to show his appreciation, and said, "Talk about it!" ”

Li Fugui said: "We don't shoot, we quietly approach the two devils." As long as you fight with them, you won't be afraid of the devils blowing us up with small steel cannons. Wait for us to destroy the two devils, and then free up our hands to destroy the little devils! ”

This was obviously a bad idea, Zheng Weiguo was a little disappointed, but he still said: "It's very good that you can think of this method!" However, we are dealing with devils, and they will neither treat us as human beings, nor will they treat those second devils as human beings. If the two of us fight together, I'm afraid that we will be served by the little devils. ”

The pillar also figured it out and said, "That's it! What's that, it's clearly a bad idea! ”

Li Fugui was ashamed when he heard this, and Zheng Weiguo comforted: "It's better to come up with a bad idea than not to want an idea!" You don't know the viciousness of your enemies now, and you won't make such mistakes in the future. ”

Li Fugui thought for a while and said, "I don't understand, since the devils don't treat them as human beings, why should they be traitors?" ”

Zheng Weiguo was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, what is he doing? There are so many traitors in China, and by the end of the Anti-Japanese War, there were even more puppet soldiers than Japanese troops. What is this for? He thought about this question for a long time, but he didn't come up with an answer, so he could only be speechless.

The devils at the bottom of the mountain ransacked three villages in a row, and they were a little tired from tossing. At this time, it was getting late, and they rested for a while and began to retreat along the official road in the direction of Tongping County. In fact, several of the villages they arrived in were burned down and there was no place to stay. It is not a good choice to camp in the field at night, so you can only return to Tongping. Its main force was the first to withdraw, and then it was the turn of the devils who held the key points, and the second devil was of course the last in line.

As soon as the blocked devils retreated, Zheng Weiguo quietly approached the second devils with the third class. The two devils knew that something was wrong and wanted to slip away, but the godfather wouldn't let them go, and they didn't dare to disobey.

Zheng Weiguo threw several grenades in a row, and then rushed over with a loud roar and the soldiers. The two devils panicked, either fled or surrendered, and none of them dared to resist to the end. The soldiers of the third squad have long been holding back the fire in their bellies, where can they escape? They don't chase either, there are weeds more than half a person deep, where the grass is moving, there must be an enemy, one shot is one, and they didn't run!

After eliminating the seven or eight two devils who escaped, Zheng Weiguo coldly swept a group of guys who surrendered on their knees, and shouted: "Not one is left!" "In the future, the puppet army may have a lot of innocent strong men, but now that the War of Resistance has just begun, being a traitor at this time is by no means a good thing, and there is no value in transformation.

Zheng Weiguo and the others rushed to the mountain beam next to the official road, and found that the devils had taken cover alternately and had quickly retreated. If you want to leave at this time, it is not so easy, it depends on the mood of the soldiers of the security regiment. Zheng Weiguo operated the grenadier, and the grenade fell on the heads of a group of devils like eyes. The soldiers took aim and opened fire, and after the baptism of war, they were now more accurate than one by one. The guns are all bullets of hatred, full of anger. Some brave villagers also joined in, and they shot desperately with homemade ** like devils.

One detachment behind the devil's cushion was quickly wiped out, and the other detachment had to hold on to a mountain beam for reinforcements. As a last resort, the brigade that the devils had evacuated was killed, and they seemed to want to have a decisive battle with the security group. Zheng Weiguo hurriedly asked the troops to stop the pursuit, and went around to the high points on both sides of the official road to drag the devil to death. As long as you stay up until dark, it will be the end of the devil.

After a while, the second company, which learned the news, also rushed over from the county seat. With this new force, the morale of the security regiment has increased greatly.

Under the siege of various departments of the security regiment, the devil's brigade could no longer hold on, so they had to flee in a hurry in the direction of Tongping. Where are the soldiers willing to put it, they would rather die of exhaustion than pull a devil on their backs. By the time the remnants of the devils withdrew to the border of Tongping County, half of the men and horses were thrown on the land of Ping'an County. Of course, the two devils don't count, and the devils and the security team don't treat them as human beings.

As soon as the battle was over, the soldiers were so tired that they collapsed to the ground. Many people looked up to the sky and laughed, while others cried loudly. The people in the vicinity are also mixed with joy and sorrow, the joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and the pain of ruining the country and losing their families. Some people say that the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression caused the awakening of the Chinese nation, and this is still very reasonable. Only by feeling the pain of the dead slaves will everyone truly understand that the prosperity of the country, the prosperity of the nation, and the personal honor and disgrace are closely related.

The three slippers ran to Zheng Weiguo and cried bitterly: "Tuanzao, woo, it's all because I didn't do my job well, and many villagers who didn't want to go were harmed by the devil!" ”

Zheng Weiguo was silent for a moment, and then said: "These two battles have captured more than seventy three-eight big covers, I will leave you thirty shots, the operators of machine guns and grenadiers need to be strictly trained, I will bring them back first, and I will send them to you as soon as the training is complete." ”

Sanluozi wiped away a handful of tears and said, "Tuanza, don't worry! I must protect the villagers well, and if only one of the brothers is alive, I will not let the little devils hurt the villagers at all! ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said, "You are all fighting out, the villagers are unarmed, aren't they being slaughtered?" You remember that you can destroy your enemies only if you save yourself. You must learn to mobilize the masses, dig more tunnels, bury more mines, don't fight hard with devils, and use more brains. He sighed and said, "Now that the rear of Ping'an County is unstable, I will sweep away those bandits as soon as possible, as well as the local tyrants and inferior gentry." In the coming days, the main force is not here, you have to hold on! ”

Sanluozi nodded vigorously and said, "Tuanza, don't worry!" As long as I still have a breath of air, I will definitely guard the east gate of Ping'an County. ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I want to believe you!" You go get the guns first and form the guerrilla brigade as soon as possible! ”

The three slippers saluted and said, "Yes!" With that, he turned and left. Now that the war is so cruel, this parting may be separated from each other.

In this battle, one more platoon was killed, and another platoon was assigned to the East Road Guerrilla Brigade. There were six platoons at the time of departure, and only half of the two days were left. Seeing that many familiar faces had disappeared, Zheng Weiguo's expression was gloomy. Although special forces have a strong heart, they are still flesh and blood after all. He has sent away more comrades-in-arms in the past two days than he has in the first half of his life, how can he not be sad?

When the troops returned, the people of Sili and Eight Towns gave Zheng Weiguo a great comfort. Both sides of the official road were full of people seeing them off, all of whom had tears in their eyes and couldn't bear to separate. Many people also stuffed eggs and jerky that they were reluctant to eat into the hands of the soldiers. Zheng Weiguo has emphasized many times in the army that he will not take a stitch from the masses, but the simple soldiers have never experienced such a scene, and they are at a loss for a while.

To be honest, Zheng Weiguo himself has never experienced such a scene. When he was a special soldier, because of the particularity of the troops, he rarely had contact with the common people. As for the Northeast Army, although the military discipline is good, they can flee without a fight, abandon their father and old to the enemy, how can anyone send eggs to them?

At such a moment, as the head of the regiment, Zheng Weiguo seems to have said something. But he is really not good at words, looking at the hard-working fathers and villagers, Zheng Weiguo's voice was a little choked, and said: "Fellow villagers, you, you must live well!" ”

When the villagers heard this, their faces were sad, and many people cried loudly, and for a time 10,000 people wept, and the sadness spread to the four fields......
