Reminiscing about the bittersweet meeting, Yuan Pengfei wanted to yawn when he heard it, but he endured it.

Suffering, there is no need to recall, reality forces everyone in the Eighth Route Army to suffer. It's nothing more than a little bitterness, bitterness, special bitterness, anyway, there is no one who doesn't suffer hardship.

Sweet, you have to think about this, when will we be able to defeat Japanese imperialism, liberate the whole of China, and live a good life for the common people.

Otherwise, there is "sweetness", and if you can eat it for a while, you won't be able to eat it for a lifetime.

Yuan Peng flew back to the second battalion, and Wang Zihu, the acting battalion commander, officially stepped down. However, before that, he still had to report on the situation these days, so that Yuan Pengfei knew what to expect.

In the past three months, the second battalion has held five actual combat battles, and one company won the first place with an absolute advantage. The sixth time, when confronting the strongest company of the third battalion, it also won by a narrow margin.

The third company and the direct company tied for the first place, but the soldiers also showed a brave and fearless spirit. But any company that confronts them cannot be said to win easily.

On the whole, the second battalion's stabbing training was very effective, and there was basically no problem with the devil's hard knives and guns.

However, such training also came at a cost, and in three months there were six accidents in the second battalion, as a result of which seven soldiers were injured and more than a dozen ribs were stabbed.

This is also a regiment commander like Li Yunlong, who encourages the fighters below to train like this.

If you change to a guy who is more rigid, conformist, and only memorizes the training syllabus, even if he doesn't remove them from his post, he will have to give them two a punishment.

In addition, although there are no big battles at this stage, small battles are not interrupted. Pulling out the devil's bunker, ambushing the devil's sweeping troops, hitting artillery towers, fighting transport teams, and small battles with companies and platoons as units, seventeen or eighteen were fought.

More than 150 Japanese puppet soldiers were killed and wounded, and more than 50 rifles and one light machine gun were captured, causing a lot of trouble to the devils.

And the recruits of the second battalion are also considered to have been trained, and they can be proudly called veterans.

There were also a lot of recruits, and more than 50 of them, who were older and weaker, were incorporated into the ranks of the militia and were responsible for protecting the village.

The other 30 or so people will not be able to float even a single wave in the second battalion of 500 people, which will not affect the combat effectiveness of the second battalion.

Yuan Pengfei was very surprised and said: "In this way, the number of people in the second battalion is basically the same as when I left, but the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. ”

"That's right, that's right."

Wang Zihu said with great certainty.

In these three months, the results achieved are relatively rich, and his own damage is relatively small, which is also an affirmation of his ability.

Of course, Yuan Pengfei's surprise was a bit redundant, and after he listened to the reports of the other company and platoon cadres, he would suddenly realize that this was the case.

The independent regiment used to be a large force, and half of the time it faced a positional blocking battle, even if it was an ambush battle, the little devils were relatively elite.

You come and I fight for a while, the little devils have artillery and aircraft support, and the Eighth Route Army is considered good if it doesn't suffer losses, but if it doesn't work, it will suffer big losses.

The casualties remained at 1:1, which was still Li Yunlong's proper command and the soldiers exchanged their lives for it.

And now small-scale guerrilla warfare is very different from before. There are not many people, the enemy is clear and we are secret, they can fight if they can, and if they can't, they will withdraw, and the Japanese puppet army will be confused and clueless.

For example, in the second month of his departure, Wu Zhongliang, the commander of the third platoon of the third company, learned that the enemy in the stronghold went to the area of Shanmu Village to sweep around.

He led two squads of soldiers and village militia to lay three mines in Yehu Mountain.

When the sweeping enemy turned back from Shanmu Village, as soon as he walked up Yehu Mountain, several puppet soldiers who were hurrying in front stepped on a mine, and with a bang, four or five enemies flew into the sky.

The remaining enemies immediately panicked, and scattered their guns everywhere, trying to scare out the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were ambushing them.

Wu Zhongliang's steady group, seeing that the enemy was outnumbered, sent someone to report the news, and continued to lead people to entangle him.

The little devil was bombed, and he didn't dare to go from there again, so he turned back to another way. Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned to the front hillside, I stepped on another mine, and this time it was two little devils who met the king of Hades.

No way, they were unlucky, the two devils who scattered over didn't step on the mines, they stepped on the real devils.

The little devil shot at the suspicious place again, but unfortunately he didn't even hit the hair of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

The devil officer vented the pent-up fear in his heart and shouted around: "You are not considered soldiers, if you have the courage, stand up and fight me." ”

Poor radical tactics, when Sun Wu wrote Sun Tzu's Art of War, this nation was still an uncivilized barbarian!

Seeing that no one came out to fight them, and was afraid of stepping on mines, the Japanese puppet army, which had become a frightened bird, had no choice but to give up this sweep and carefully prepare to return the same way.

But they wanted to give up, and they didn't ask the Eighth Route Army if they agreed?

On the way back for them, Chen Qiao had already taken the three companies to ambush.

When the puppet army entered the mine formation, a soldier couldn't help but ask: "Company commander, do you want to pull the string and beat him?" ”

"What's the point of cleaning up the two devils, if you want to fight, you can beat little Japan."

Chen Qiao was not in a hurry, and beckoned the soldiers to wait slowly until the little devil walked into the minefield.

"Bang bang."

Five mines, like fireworks, blasted the little devil into the sky. More than a dozen people flew in the sky, not to mention how spectacular.

"Hit the bitch!"

Chen Qiao and the other orders were sent out with the sound of his gun, followed by gunfire, accompanied by the explosion of grenades.

The little devil who was killed still has a sense of relief, and there is no need to be afraid.

"The enemy has finally appeared!"

The remaining little devil seems to have put a boulder in his heart. The unknown is always the most terrifying, and they also think that the invisible and untouchable enemy is even more terrifying.

After a frantic counterattack, the little devil finished venting the pent-up fear in his heart and fled in dismay.

In this battle, the puppet army that came to sweep for more than 100 days was killed more than 30 people, and five puppet soldiers were captured, while the third company only had scattered casualties, which can be described as a great victory.

The remaining little devils were frightened by the mines, and after fleeing back to the stronghold, they still did not dare to move.

This is mine warfare, a tactic of winning more with less, defeating the strong with the weak, and winning at a small cost. It is also a tactic that causes huge psychological pressure on the Japanese puppet army.

There were many similar battles, and some of them were not as great as this one. Just one or two squads of fighters, with militia, with a few mines, and the Japanese puppet army.

As long as they deal with it calmly, after a day of fighting, the enemy does not even see their hair, and several soldiers are blown into the sky.

Once or twice is not inconspicuous, but the accumulation of small victories into big victories, after the accumulation of the second battalion for three months, is equivalent to the elimination of a company of enemies.

What if it is placed in the whole brigade, the whole division, and the whole Eighth Route Army?

The casualties inflicted on the enemy are incomparably huge, how many people can fill this pit with little devils?

The people's war showed its power, and Mao's prophecy came true.
