Chapter 8: Wandering Dry (30)

On 15 February, the class officially opened, and more than 900 students on the lawn lined up in seven phalanxes, because the entire structure of the Seventh Brigade was left to the Communist Party, and the personnel were not in a hurry and had to be postponed. The seven brigades, the camp is also quite huge, most of them are students who have returned from the front line, and they are gathered together, invisibly giving birth to a murderous aura.

"Go to the rear of the enemy and drive the devil out of the country, go to the rear of the enemy and drive the devil out of the country! Don't be afraid of the rain, not afraid of the wind, cover the back road, surprise soldiers, capture a village today, take back a city tomorrow......" The neat singing echoed in the Nanyue Valley, whether it was the students, the teachers, or the staff of the training class, as long as the people staying in the Bible school, they all sang this song in unison.

Yesterday, the Mo Enemy studied for a day before learning this song, and only then did they know that while they were fighting bloody battles on the front line, there were still many people who were making contributions to the resistance against Japan and expressing their passion for the war in various forms. Soon, the elastic rhythm of the music, the impactful music style, and the musical image of the witty, brave, agile and flexible guerrilla athletes, seemed to appear in front of them, and immediately attracted a group of ruffians and ruffians.

The instructor who taught them to sing introduced this song, which was in September last year, Zhou Enlai, as the deputy director of the Political Department of the Military Commission of the National Government, went to Wuhan to inspect the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and when he made a report on the situation and tasks of the theater team affiliated to the Third Hall, Zhou Enlai pointed out that the Japanese invaders were approaching Wuhan, and the national crisis was at the head, and they should not only resist the enemy head-on, but also arm themselves with the idea of Comrade *'s "On Protracted War", and go to the enemy's rear to open up work, expand strength, and resist the war to the end. Inspired by this situation report, Zhao Qihai, a young revolutionary poet in exile in Beiping, quickly wrote the lyrics. Xian Xinghai was very happy to see the lyrics and immediately conceived the composition. Soon, the song "Go to the Rear of the Enemy" spread from Wuhan to all parts of the motherland and penetrated deep into the base areas behind enemy lines. At the end of 1938, in every corner of the major guerrilla areas under the leadership of the Communist Party, the singing of "go to the rear of the enemy and drive the devils out of the country" could be heard everywhere, which became the strongest voice of the times.

"To the Rear of the Enemy" was sung over and over again, one by one, one by one, collectively sung, until the valley reverberated with bursts of echoes. In the singing, Director Chiang Kai-shek, Bai Chongxi, and Deputy Director Chen Cheng stepped onto the rostrum. In Tang Enbo's thick Zhejiang Jinhua accent, the opening ceremony began.

Mo Di is not tall, and he especially likes to hide himself behind other people, the arrangement of the opening ceremony is very satisfying to him, line up in order of student number, not according to height, he is standing behind Zhang Zhinong, who is tall and tall, as long as he does not stretch his neck, it is difficult for the people on the rostrum to find him.

"Tianzong has won the essence of guerrilla tactics!" Liu Jingzhi on the side said with a smile: "Hide yourself first, and then plan to act." ”

Zhang Zhinong didn't dare to look back, but he also said self-deprecatingly: "I'm the stupid one who was the target!" ”

Mo Di snickered and said: "Then you have to pretend to be more stupid, so that people will lose their vigilance as soon as they see your image, and they will not attack you, so that you can find a chance to kill the other party." ”

"That's right, that's right, that's the legendary pig and eating the tiger." Liu Jingzhi said.

"Fuck me!" Zhang Zhinong quit: "Lao Liu, the more you scold, the more poisonous you become, at first you only scolded me for being stupid, this time I became a pig!" ”

Invincible bliss.

I only heard a reminder from the side: "The chairman has finished speaking, and General Staff Bai has also finished speaking, and Chief Tang Education Director presided over and said that it should be Deputy Education Director Ye's turn next, pay attention to listen." ”

Mo Di stretched out his head and looked over Zhang Zhinong's shoulder, and a middle-aged general stood up from the seat of the rostrum, and after signaling to Chairman Jiang and others sitting in the center, he walked to the front of the podium. This is General Ye Jianying, not short, he is tall in the south, wearing a well-fitting military uniform, with the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulders, without a hat, his hair is neatly wiped to the back of his head, his hairline is very high, revealing a shiny big forehead.

The seven brigades were no longer calm, making a swarm-like buzzing sound, and everyone was talking about it, very curious about this high-ranking CCP general. Mo Di was also interested in trying to understand what this legendary figure said, but the various voices around him were too loud, and he could only hear a few words in Ye Jianying's brief speech, the biggest difference is that the previous speeches were all under the leadership of the central government, unite to resist Japan, and achieve the final victory, while this one proposed to unite against Japan and strive for the final victory under the leadership of the anti-Japanese national united front. As for the theories and opinions that the Mo enemies want to hear about guerrillas, they have not said a word.

Mo Di said mockingly: "It's because I'm too anxious, how can I talk about guerrilla warfare when I enter the class today, and it's not a class." ”

Liu Jingzhi said: "Don't worry, we still have three months to go, and we will definitely be able to learn the essence of General Ye's guerrilla warfare." ”

The brief opening ceremony ended, and the intense study began, and sure enough, Ye Jianying and the teachers of the CCP did not disappoint the invincibles. The group of guerrilla cadres has set up a total of ...... on the premier's legacy, the program for the founding of the country during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the international situation, an introduction to guerrilla warfare, guerrilla political work, guerrilla tactics, and mass movements The 24 courses, with equal emphasis on politics and military affairs, combined with theory, make the students feel that what they have learned is effective and practical. CCP instructors are mainly responsible for the two courses of strategy and tactics of guerrilla warfare and political work, the most popular of which is the twice-weekly "Introduction to Guerrilla Warfare" taught by Ye Jianying.

Whenever Ye Jianying gave a lecture, the audience sometimes reached two or three thousand, and not only the students of the Yougan class were not absent, but some officers from the Ninth War Zone also came from Changsha and Hengyang to listen to the lectures, and even the monks from the Nanyue Temple also came to listen to the lectures. The auditorium could not accommodate so many people, so they held big classes in the playground instead.

Ye Jianying usually wears a faded military uniform when she goes to class, and her speech is simple and easy to understand. His incisive insights, outstanding eloquence, and elegant demeanor deeply attracted all the audience. The introduction to guerrilla warfare course has also become the best among the students. This course is set to be 20 hours in the timetable, accounting for one-seventh of the military discipline in the class, and each class lasts two hours. The revolutionary significance of guerrilla warfare, the objective conditions for the emergence of guerrilla forces, and the application of guerrilla warfare are all new words and phrases, and they are all simple truths, but they always open the door to the minds of the participants. Every sentence, every word, crawled in every listener's head, and every listener's notebook. The trumpet sounded for the end of class, and the audience was reluctant to leave, "Would you like to speak for another five minutes?" Five minutes passed quickly, and the teacher of the next class was already standing at the door, and the students reluctantly let Ye Jianying leave the classroom.

Once, when Ye Jianying was talking about guerrilla warfare, he talked about the unity of the army and the people and the principle of persisting in the War of Resistance. He cited an example of the relationship between fish and water to illustrate that in guerrilla warfare, we must closely rely on the masses, and that the relationship between the military and the people, that is, the relationship between fish and water, cannot be separated from the masses for a moment in a war behind enemy lines. Just this time, the students did not ask Ye Jianying to speak for another five minutes, but were completely immersed in the theory, until Ye Jianying walked off the podium in the square, the students realized that the time for class had come, and after the thunderous applause, there was a deep reflection.

"When I was in Guilin before, I had a good relationship with the local merchants, but we just stayed at the level of using each other and exchanging benefits. When we were in southern Anhui, General Zhang Yunyi also told us that we should have good relations with the local masses and that only by integrating our own interests with the interests of the local masses can we truly win the approval of the masses and only then can we survive after the war. Today, this metaphor of fish and water is simply too incisive! Mo Di said to Liu Jingzhi as he walked.

Liu Jingzhi shook his head and said: "It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, I listened and thought, even if we have a relationship with the local people, we will only stay in the relationship with the local gentry, and will not directly deal with the people beyond the gentry. ”

Liang Cailin said with a smile: "You think that you are from a gentry, General Ye Jianying is from a big family in Meizhou, and he has also been to Nanyang, and he studied in Yunnan Lecture Martial Arts Hall, he can still put down his shelf and interact with the people, what are you and I little squires!" It is still a matter of consciousness, looking down on the people, not understanding the people, unwilling to stand with the people, and how to collude. ”

Everyone agreed, but they also agreed that this is a congenital problem and there is no way to solve it.

The news reached the ears of the head of education, Tang Enbo, and lamented: "Why can't we beat them in the past? Because they have a fish-and-water relationship with the masses.

Although there is a saying that the fish is dead and the net is broken, there is also the matter of flooding the Seventh Army, and the water can float the boat and capsize the boat.

Ye Jianying's theory of fish and water was like having wings, and it quickly spread to all corners, and in the evening, Mo Di received a telegram from the telegraph operator, and Xu Ping of Mingguang called that the military commander asked them to come to Nanyue to observe, whether they came or not, and wanted to hear Mo Di's opinion. It turned out that Dai Li heard that Ye Jianying and others were giving lectures in Nanyue, and he really wanted to learn a set of methods for the Chinese communists to fight guerrillas, so he tried to send his subordinates to Nanyue to listen to the lectures.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, the wake-up call sounded, and the Nanyue peaks were still shrouded in the morning light, and the instructors of the Yougan class rushed to the playground with the students, or marched on the rugged mountain road. Hengshan Railway Station, Shigu Bridge, next to Chaen Temple...... Weekly guerrilla tactics training, whether in the mountains or on the plains, is full of instructors and trainees of the guerrilla cadre class. The field exercises taught by the instructors of the Chinese Communist Party gave the trainees a completely new experience, such as assault battles, ambush battles, harassment battles, self-defense and retreat, defensive vigilance, reconnaissance and search, etc., which gave the trainees a new understanding of guerrilla.
