When Li Yuxian walked into the conference room, those regiment commanders and battalion commanders had not yet arrived, but Xu Shijiu had already arrived, and he was carefully checking the large map on the wall, and he was still muttering something in his mouth.

"Commander, is there any urgent military situation for such a hasty meeting?" Li Yuxian walked up to Xu Shijiu and asked

Xu Shijiu turned his head, looked at Li Yuxian with a smile, and asked, "Director Li, you really don't know."

"What?" Li Yuxian really didn't know, and asked Xu Shijiu with some confusion at the moment, "Commander, what's the urgency?" ”

Xu Shijiu's expression became serious, and he said: "According to the reliable information provided by friendly forces, the Japanese army has secretly assembled at least one infantry brigade, at least one cavalry squadron and one artillery squadron to the Longxugou stronghold. ”

"What, the Japanese army has assembled an infantry brigade to the Longxugou stronghold?" Li Yuxian's face suddenly lost color when she heard this.

As the director of the intelligence department, she was ignorant of such serious information, and she had to be told by others, what was this not a serious dereliction of duty? If Xu Shijiu made a fuss about this, she and the military commanders would be driven away from the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, and she could only swallow her teeth, and even the Military Commission could not accuse Xu Shijiu of not doing so.

"Director Li, the work of your intelligence department needs to be strengthened, and this kind of thing must not happen a second time." Xu Shijiu just knocked Li Yuxian for two sentences without pain or itching, and then gently lifted it.

To put it bluntly, Xu Shijiu has never had any hope for the military commander, so naturally there will be no loss

Li Yuxian breathed a sigh of relief, but also shocked in his heart, needless to say, this information must have been provided by the New Fourth Army.

Last time, in order to rescue Yu Jiaxi and Liu Chang, the Communist Party's intelligence station hidden in Qingyang County was uprooted by Little Japan, and the intelligence agencies in the entire southern Anhui region were also severely damaged, but now it has only been more than three months, and the Communist Party's intelligence line has been restored

A moment later, Li Zihan, Niu Sigen, Li Shuanggun and Lu Jianbang arrived, and the commanders of each battalion also arrived.

Gao Shenxing heard the news in the hospital, and he had to rush over to attend the meeting, Gu Yaqin came over and looked at Xu Shijiu with a look of help, but Xu Shijiu smiled and said, "Yaqin, just let him stay." Then he said to Gao Shenxing, "Old Gao, you have to be injured quickly, otherwise you won't be able to fight in Little Japan."

"Old Xu, believe it or not, I can go to the battlefield now?" Be cautious.

"Believe, what you said, why don't I believe it?" Xu Jiu smiled, and then turned to those battalion commanders, but his face immediately became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "According to reliable information, Little Japan has secretly assembled at least one infantry brigade to Longxugou, as well as at least one artillery team and one cavalry team, and Little Japan's motives are unknown for the time being. ”

The commanders of more than a dozen regiments and battalions suddenly became excited, and one by one they were eager to try.

"Little Japan of the dog day, after enduring it for half a year, finally can't hold it back? haha。 ”

"An infantry brigade, and an artillery team, a cavalry team? Can little Japan afford us? ”

"Little Japan is here, these months have been full of small fights, Lao Tzu has long been tired of it, this time play big"

Looking at the more than a dozen army commanders with excited expressions, Xu Jiujiu was not without emotion in his heart, he had to admit that this set of the Communist Party is really effective, the struggle behind enemy lines has its particularities, you can't fight hard with small Japan as soon as you come up, and before the comparison between the enemy's strong and my weak liliang has not changed, you must unswervingly use sparrow tactics

The benefits of sparrow warfare are self-evident, one is that the casualties are smaller, and the casualties are smaller, which means that recruits have more chances of surviving and have more chances of becoming veterans.

Unlike the national army, after a hard battle, the new dead are basically dead, and then the new soldiers are replenished, and the next time the war is fought, the new soldiers are all dead again, and then this vicious circle continues, to Zuihou, the veterans are fighting less and less, but the recruits never grow up, and the combat effectiveness of the troops collapses.

The second advantage of sparrow warfare is that it can accumulate small victories into big victories, which greatly boosts the confidence and fighting spirit of officers and men.

In the past three months, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui fought more than 100 battles, although the scale of each battle was extremely small, and the largest scale was only a battalion-level battle, and the results were not great, and the annihilation of half of the Japanese army could be regarded as a rare big victory, but the problem was that it could not stand up to the old battles and won many battles, and the confidence, morale, and fighting spirit of the officers and men soared.

In the past, even the 19th Brigade in the period of strong soldiers and horses would never have the strong desire for war that the regiments and battalions now show, and this desire was based on winning battles in old battles.

And in fact, it's almost the same, Xu Shijiu also treats Little Japan as a fat pig to be slaughtered in his heart.

"Alright, alright, don't shout." Xu Shijiu had to knock heavily on the conference table with his fingers, and only after those troop commanders calmed down did Xu Shijiu continue, "You don't have to guess that little Japan is coming at us, how to fight the next battle, you shouldn't need me to teach you anymore, right?" ”

"Don't worry, captain, how to fight, the brothers know it in their hearts."

"Commander, don't worry, this time you will let little Japan come, and you can't go back"

"Captain, just look at it, this time you have to beat up little Japan so that his parents can't recognize it."

"Commander, the brothers have been looking forward to a big battle for a few months, and this time we have to make a big one."

The order of the venue collapsed in an instant, the regiment commanders and battalion commanders patted their chests and pounded the table, and a few even rolled up their sleeves to get up, and almost stepped forward to make a military order to Xu Shijiu, not to mention, these three months and more than 100 victories are really not in vain, and now the morale of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui is really not ordinary

Xu Jiujiu was too lazy to maintain order at the venue, and immediately announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Another advantage of sparrow warfare is that the commander saves trouble, because once the fight starts, each regiment and battalion must act independently, and Xu 19, the commander, will command his guard company at most, so there is no need to study what combat jihua, let alone what combat tasks need to be arranged, and the combat missions are clear, that is, to kill and injure the living Liliang of small Japan as much as possible.

Of course, the necessary price still has to be paid, such as Longkou County, which must be given up unconditionally.

This is the difference between the Communist Party and the national army, the purpose of the Communist Party is to absolutely not care about the gains and losses of a city and a pond, to preserve the survival of Liliang as the first priority, and the purpose of the national army is to fight all the mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, rather than fight all the light, and never give up an inch of the country, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, most of the soldiers of the national army have done this.

Emotionally, Xu 19 is inclined to the approach of the national army, but intellectually, Xu 19 believes that the strategy of the Communist Party is correct, the War of Resistance, you must have someone first, and then you can continue the War of Resistance.

The plan to abandon the county seat was formulated a long time ago.

In the afternoon of the same day, all units of the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui began to evacuate urgently.

The main thing is the logistics department, and the money and grain donated by the people of Longkou to the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui cannot be cheap, and they must be rushed to Erlong Mountain to hide.

However, when he really left Longkou County, Xu Shijiu's mood was a little complicated.

Especially when he saw the county residents supporting the old and the young crowded at the door of his house, looking at himself with that complicated look, Xu Shijiu felt that his heart was aching for a while, Xu Shijiu was very reluctant to admit it, but the facts are the facts, and he is indeed abandoning these county residents who had fully supported the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui.

The anti-Japanese democratic government led by Yin Shangwen once mobilized them to move to the mountains.

However, these county residents have lived in the county for generations, and very few people are willing to flee the county, and those who are willing to flee have fled long before Little Japan first called, and those who are still in Longkou County are basically unwilling to leave their hometowns even if they die, and they are naturally unwilling to leave at this time.

Xu Shijiu can fully understand the mood of these county residents, although their faces are not revealed, but their hearts must be full of complaints about the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui: We pay money and food, isn't it just to protect us when Little Japan fights? Now that little Japan is really calling, you are going to slip away? Isn't this a white-eyed wolf?

Xu Shijiu rode on horseback, opened his mouth, and wanted to say a few words, but before the words came out, a rotten cabbage didn't know where it flew from, and the horn slammed into his face, Xu Shijiu spit out the words to his mouth and swallowed it back, at this time, what he said was superfluous, and he could only leave Longkou County gloomily at the moment.
