Every good shooter relies on a pile of bullets!

Although this statement is not absolute, it is absolutely universal.

And this time there was only a small battle of less than ten minutes in front of the eyes, which was caused by the arrogant and arrogant initiative of the little devil, and because Li Jing was looked down upon and indignant as a sudden flashpoint, and finally ended with the little devil being outnumbered and retreating on his own initiative, and the result fully proved this: the importance of bullets!

Of the thirty-six little devils in all, nine were killed and seven were wounded.

And after the war, according to statistics: five of these nine little devils were killed by sharpshooters, and two were killed by machine gunners. Of the seven little devils who were injured, four were beaten by sharpshooters.

Li Jing had to sigh: The chain reaction caused by the lack of bullets in ordinary training is vividly reflected at this moment. But what can be done? Who called the Eighth Route Army poor, and almost all its weapons were obtained by capturing them on the battlefield.

However, what made Li Jing feel relieved was that it was precisely because of his foresight that only one soldier on his side died and no one was injured...... The soldier who died can only say that luck is too bad. He was not directly hit by a bullet, but because the bullet hit the marble beside him, bounced into his temple, and died on the spot.

Li Jing was also very helpless about this situation, and had to order that the martyr be buried properly. At the same time, he also issued another order: let people write down the names, positions and addresses of all the people in this battle, and after defeating the little devils, a martyr's monument must be built here, whether they are sacrificed or alive, as long as they have participated in this battle, they must be burned on the monument.

Maybe this was Li Jing's intention, or maybe he just wanted future generations to remember this battle and the participants in this battle, but what he never expected was that such an order greatly improved morale and condensed an unprecedented combat effectiveness...... In particular, the phrase 'as long as the participants will be burned on the monument', the soldiers and the people saw the hope of a hundred generations, so they all wanted to behave well, and did not want to be burned on the monument because of weakness and other problems, and it will be remembered for thousands of years.

"Pass my order, let the soldiers all cultivate well, eat what they should eat, drink what they should drink, but don't move around at will, try to conserve their physical strength, the main force of the little devil may arrive at some point. ”

After giving this order, Li Jing didn't know what he should do for a while: Go out for a walk and boost morale? Although this is good, the little devil on the opposite side will definitely not be willing to fail, and will definitely send snipers to be ready to snipe the people on his side at any time, and God knows when the main force of the little devil will arrive, in case he suddenly gives himself a few shots, and he is in an unsheltered place, then it will be troublesome - his sacrifice is small, the key is that there are so many people and horses that none of them take the lead, isn't it chaotic? For the next big picture, there will definitely be a direct impact.

Therefore, Li Jing is not good at moving around at will, so he can only rest in the main fort.

I don't know why, Li Jing suddenly thought of a little, and quickly ate the sweet potatoes in his hand in two bites, and then, clapping his hands, ran to the back of the main fort to look at the village under the mountain, and saw that the villagers were moving, but nearly half of the villagers had not left the village. He hurriedly ordered the herald: "You go down the mountain immediately, find Squadron Leader Ma Hongxin of the militia squadron, and tell him loudly that we want to buy five coffins from the villagers." And if he asks you why, you say, "In the battle just now, five of our comrades died......

Speaking of this, Li Jing hesitated a little and added: "At the same time, you must also tell everyone that we killed nine little devils and injured seven little devils...... You know what I mean?"

The herald shook his head.

"The meaning is very simple, I don't care what method you use, you must try to be as natural as possible, in order to tell the villagers that in order to protect them, we have just come into contact with the little devils, although more little devils have been killed, but we also have comrades sacrificed. The purpose is to tell the name of the village that we, the comrades, are sacrificing to protect them...... We must also gain further favor from the villagers as soon as possible, so as to make arrangements for the next generation to gain greater support and trust from the village name...... So, do you understand?"

"Understood. ”

"Alright, hurry up. Remember, be sure to say it in front of the villagers, not in private. ”

"Yes!"

Perhaps, in the eyes of some people, Li Jing's actions are absolutely purposeful, and they are inconsistent with the central idea of unconditionally helping the people in the military regulations of the Eighth Route Army in order to gain the trust and support of the people, but Li Jing has no way, or rather, no matter what means he uses, as long as he can win the trust and support of the people as quickly as possible under the premise of not violating the general principles, he can do everything.

And Li Jing's ultimate goal is also to beat away the little devil as soon as possible and complete the task. And the support of the people is his solid backing, so this backing must not only be there, but also must be fast, let alone let the backing be chaotic.

From this point of view, although Li Jing is a bit unkind in terms of means and seems to be a bit eager for quick success, he is understandable in terms of purpose...... To be fair, there is no way around it. Only by letting the villagers feel that the Eighth Route Army is indeed to protect them and would rather throw their heads and spill their blood, and not let them suffer the slightest injury, can they gain the strong support and support of the people, can they have a mass base, and can they let go and fight to the death with the little devils.

And the result was the same as Li Jing thought, the people heard that Li Jing and they fought desperately with the little devils in order to protect the people, in order to maximize the time for the people to transfer safely, and sacrificed five people just by looking at each other, which made the people a little unbelievable, but they were moved.

People's hearts are flesh and blood: if you are good to them, they will naturally repay you with a hundredfold goodness. If you treat them badly, they will also repay you with a hundredfold and a thousand times worse, and at the same time, people's hearts are also a scale, who is good to them and who is bad to them, they are clear in their hearts. At most, it is only the fear caused by the lack of strength, so that they can hide the anger in their hearts for the time being, just wait for a shout, and then fight with you one after another.

This is probably the old saying: 'You regard the people as a mustard, and the people regard you as an enemy.' ’

If it weren't for the efforts of the heralds and Ma Hongxin and others to appease them, many people would have to go back on the spot, this one said that they would open the granary at home and donate all of them to the assault group; the other said that they would let their son pick up the family's red tassel gun and go to the mountains to fight devils with Li Jing and them; and some people suggested that everyone should simply not leave and follow Battalion Commander Li and them to kill devils together......

Hearing these answers, Li Jing smiled with satisfaction, because he understood that with this scene, from this moment on, even if Ma Hongji turned his face and wanted to drive him out of the village, it would be impossible. On the contrary, if Ma Hongji dares to do this, Li Jing has enough reasons and supporters to take the opportunity to kill Ma Hongji. And all this is only because of the support of the people.

That's enough, isn't it?

This little devil who was obviously coming towards Li Jing and them marched very fast, and it was only about twenty minutes away from the front of the attack. Almost as soon as Li Jing watched the herald publicize the words he had just ordered among the villagers, the main force of the little devil arrived.

In Li Jing's knowledge, the little devil has always been arrogant and arrogant, and he didn't take the Eighth Route Army in his eyes at all.

Now, nearly half of the little devils' forwards have been killed and wounded, and how can the little devils stand this kind of? Come to think of it, after the main force of the little devils arrives, even if they do not immediately send troops to attack, they will definitely order the artillery to bombard this side for a while, so as to show the arrogance of the little devils.

However, what Li Jing never expected was that these little devils didn't know what was going on, although they came up, but not only did they not send troops to attack, but they also did not directly fire artillery to show their might, but hid behind the hill opposite, secretly observing this side. Even, through the telescope, under condescending observation, Li Jing could vaguely see that the little devil actually put on a contraction formation.

This is absolutely different from the arrogant personality of the little devil, which makes people puzzled.

However, since he couldn't figure it out, Li Jing didn't bother to think nonsense without any credentials. Anyway, he only insisted on one thing: no matter what means you use, I only have one thing: everything will not deviate from its sect - Lao Tzu will hide on this commanding height, see what you can do.

At the same time, he was still vaguely looking forward to it, wishing that the little devil would delay as long as possible, and it was best to wait until all the villagers were safely and smoothly transferred to the designated place. In that way, Li Jing and the others will have no scruples and give go of the little devil wholeheartedly.

Of course, although he can't guess why the little devil is suddenly like this, Li Jing understands: There must be demons when abnormal!

Naturally, it is impossible to dry up and passively defend - he can hide from this commanding height, but who can guarantee that the little devil will not deliberately set up a maze formation with him in order to attract his main energy, and secretly send troops to attack the village from other places? Especially if the villagers ambush on the way to the transfer, it will be a big trouble.

Therefore, Li Jing asked the flag soldiers to stand on the cliff behind the main fort, and issued orders to people in the other three directions through the flag language: immediately send a second group of scouts to search in a fan shape in their respective directions, and at least search six miles outward. At the same time, send out sentinels and place them five miles away in their respective directions to ensure that once there are little devils attacking in their respective directions, everyone can have time to prepare and counterattack.

Li Jing did this completely out of security considerations, and at the same time, he seemed to have found something in his heart, but he couldn't say anything specific.

However, what he didn't expect was that the effect of this trick was indeed huge. Or to put it more bluntly, the investigation results that came back made him immediately understand why this little devil in front of his eyes had such a strange behavior.

It turns out that the little devil is really playing tricks with him......
