Volume 1: The Battle of Songhu Chapter 10 The Price

Looking at the ruins all over the ground, Xu Shijiu fell into a long silence.

This time, Little Japan's sweep in the countryside ended hastily, and he slipped back to the county seat.

At this time, it is the third day after the burning of Yanjia Town by Little Japan, most of the township party has returned, looking for a guy who can be recovered between the ruins, and the 4th regiment originally stationed in Yanjia Town has also returned, and is helping the town's fathers and elders to clean up the ruins and rebuild their homes, but in the past few months, the big guys may only be able to live in the tunnel.

"Captain, this matter can't be left like this, we have to find little Japan for revenge," Lu Jianbang said viciously.

The 4th regiment is stationed in Yanjia Town, Lu Jianbang also lives in the home of a lonely old lady, this old lady is very good to him, just like a son, this time the little Japan burned Yanjia Town, the old lady's small courtyard was also turned into ashes, just now I saw the old lady sitting on the rubble and crying silently, Lu Jianbang even had the heart to die

"Yes, Tuanza is right, this matter can't be left just like that."

"Commander, little Japan dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and he doesn't want to live anymore."

"Commander, it's better to gather all the troops now and attack the county seat."

Several battalion commanders also shouted one after another, and one by one they threatened to attack the county seat.

"No" Xu Shijiu did not hesitate to suppress the cries of several battalion commanders and said, "It's easy to say, is the county so easy to fight?" ”

"Last time, didn't you also take the county seat?" Lu Jianbang was not convinced.

"Can that be compared?" Xu Shijiu glared at Lu Jianbang and said, "The little Japan that went back to the county last time had less than two squadrons in total, and we also let us destroy a squadron in Liyuzui, just like that, it took a lot of effort to fight the county town, and now the little Japan has a whole infantry brigade, as well as a cavalry team and an artillery team, can this be compared."

"So, then forget it?" Lu Jianbang didn't look over, and said, "Captain, the township party is looking at us, let's eat theirs, wear theirs, a few days ago Little Japan called, but we patted our butts and hid, Little Japan burned their house guys, we don't pretend not to know, what should they think of us."

Xu Shijiu was speechless, he didn't know how to answer Lu Jianbang, let alone how to face the thousands of fathers and villagers in Yanjia Town, did he want to say to his fathers and villagers: Fellow villagers, our anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui is not strong enough, and we can't fight hard with little Japan, so I can only be sorry for you, and I can only sacrifice you

The fathers and villagers of Yanjia Town were frugal, and let their children participate in the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, wasn't it just so that when Little Japan came over, the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army could protect them? But now?

At this time, Yin Shangwen came over with two young people, and when he heard the words, he picked up the words of Lu Jiangang: "Commander Lu, of course you can't just forget it, Little Japan not only burned our house, but also killed many of us, if this blood feud is not avenged, we are still the people's army?" Is it still human? ”

Due to the timely warning, most of the township party in Yanjia Town were evacuated in time, but there were still a few small villages around that had not been notified or evacuated in time, and they were baptized in blood by the little Japanese.

"Hey, are you still in favor of revenge, rare." Lu Jian helped.

The composition of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui is extremely complex, and the whole is the epitome of the whole nation's anti-Japanese united front, in general, everyone does not get along well, but there are no major differences, but when it comes to strategy and tactics, officers like Lu Jianbang and Li Zihan, who came from the regular army, are a little dissatisfied with the sparrow tactics.

In the eyes of Lu Jianbang and Li Zihan, to fight, it is time to fight a positional war with Little Japan, hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, tunnels and riversides, and hiding with Little Japan, what kind of ability is it? If it weren't for Xu Shijiu's repeated stern admonitions, these regiments and battalion commanders would have led their troops to fight hard against Little Japan

In the face of Lu Jianbang's ridicule, Yin Shangwen was not angry, and said: "Commander Lu, you listen to me first, little Japan burned our homeland and killed our compatriots, of course this blood feud must be avenged, but not now, at this stage, the situation of the entire War of Resistance is still strong and weak, we still need to avoid the enemy and find opportunities to annihilate the enemy." ”

"Looking for opportunities, looking for opportunities, what kind of opportunities are you looking for?" Lu Jianbang didn't have a good airway.

Yin Shangwen said: "Little Japan has an infantry brigade in a group, we can't do anything about them, but they can't be this scale every time they go out, they always have a time when they are alone, and when Little Japan is alone, let's gather the main force again, like the last time in Liyuzui, to give Little Japan a ruthless blow." ”

Lu Jian helped: "Little Japan wants to keep together? ”

Yin Shangwen said: "Then they don't use anything for anything, every day they run back and forth in the county and countryside, they can be dragged to death and exhausted, and when they are tired, tired, and thin, let's give them a ruthless blow, what is the essence of guerrilla warfare?" The essence of guerrilla warfare is that the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy is stationed and disturbs, the enemy is tired and we fight, and the enemy retreats and we pursue. ”

Lu Jian helped: "Retreat, retreat, we can leave by patting our butts, but what about the people?" If you take another 10,000 steps back, even if the people can retreat to the mountains in advance, what about their houses? What about the family's possessions? Every time Little Japan comes over, it is either burned or smashed, and how many guys and how many houses are smashed and burned by the common people? ”

Xu Shijiu also looked back at Yin Shangwen, he also had the same confusion and problems as Lu Jianbang.

To put it bluntly, watching Little Japan burn the houses of the common people and smash the guys of the common people, while the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in Southern Anhui could only hide to the side and stare at it, Xu Shijiu was a little unable to get over this hurdle in his heart.

Yin Shangwen sighed and said in a low voice, "Commander Lu, this is the price we have to pay. ”

"The price that must be paid?" Lu Jian helped Wohuo and said, "What do you say, what do you want our army to do?" As long as we fight and work hard, even if Zuihou still fails to keep the property of the people, then we can also settle at ease, right? You see, now, the common people are poking us in the back. ”

Yin Shangwen said: "Commander Lu, the militia team and the 5th brigade have fought and worked hard. ”

Lu Jian helped: "That's not counted, I mean gathering the entire nineteen detachments to fight with Little Japan." ”

Yin Shangwen said: "But have you thought about Commander Lu, what if the nineteenth detachment loses?" ”

Lu Jian helped: "Even if we lose, all of them are exhausted, we can settle down with peace of mind." ”

Yin Shangwen said: "Hehe, if you really want to fight it all, you can definitely settle down with peace of mind, but the hundreds of thousands of people in Longkou County have no hope, and then expand to the whole of China, if our Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are all fighting hard with Little Japan in order to have peace of mind, and they will definitely be all picked up when they fight to Zuihou, and who should the people in the occupied areas count on when the time comes?" ”

Lu Jianbang was silent, if it really came time, the people in the vast number of occupied areas would naturally not be able to count on anyone.

Yin Shangwen continued: "At that time, the common people in the vast occupied areas could only accept the enslavement of Little Japan, and from then on they lived without dignity, and from then on, they could no longer speak Chinese, be Chinese, and Commander Lu, for the sake of your own peace of mind, but disregard the safety of the entire country and the entire nation, don't you think it's a little selfish?" ”

"Hey, I want to fight hard with little Japan, but zuihou has become selfish instead? He has become a sinner who disregards the safety of the country and the nation? Lu Jianbang was confused, "What did you say?" ”

Yin Shangwen said: "Commander Lu, think about it, isn't that so?" ”

Lu Jianbang was silent, and when he thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case.

Xu Jiu suddenly said: "But Shang Wen have you thought about it, these big truths may not be understood by everyone, we choose to avoid the enemy's edge in order to preserve the life of Liliang, what will the township party in the town think?" Lao Lu didn't say nonsense, someone did poke us in the back just now, and I heard it with my own ears. ”

Yin Shangwen said: "Commander, this is also a helpless thing, if you can't even stand this little grievance, then let's stop fighting Little Japan as soon as possible, Yu Crisp can stay where it is cool." ”

After a pause, Yin Shangwen added: "Moreover, there are definitely only a few who don't understand us, and most of the township party can still understand, if Little Japan thinks that it can intimidate the township party in Yanjia Town through atrocities such as burning and killing, then it is a big mistake, burning, killing and plundering will only make the township party stronger and braver."
