Some experts once made statistics: During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Eighth Route Army's best tactic was night fighting, and the most powerful was also night fighting.

Because many times, the Eighth Route Army lost its positions during the day, and organized death squads at night, and often most of them were able to regain the positions lost during the day. This also led to the little devils' most fearful of the tactics of the Eighth Route Army was the night raid battle, and later on, they even had a sense of being a soldier, especially afraid of the night.

Otherwise, who didn't want to kill the opponent head-on, and who didn't want to throw away his armor and tremble when he heard his name? But the problem was that the Eighth Route Army at that time did not have such a strong strength at all.

It was not easy for the Eighth Route Army to start from scratch and then gain a foothold, not to mention anything else, the Eighth Route Army did not have its own weapons and ammunition production line at that time, and could not even make a bullet, and all weapons and equipment were seized. In this way, how do you tell the Eighth Route Army to put on a posture with the little devils? Isn't that a joke about the lives of the soldiers...... That is, the three divisions recognized by the national army, because they got a little equipment from the national army at the beginning, they have some ability to fight the little devils head-on...... In fact, later, the national army did not even give the most basic military expenses, a dime to the Eighth Route Army. In the eyes of the National Army, the Eighth Route Army only has a name left.

The equipment is not as good as the little devil, and the training is not as good as the little devil - many soldiers can't even eat enough, and the economy can't compare with the little devil...... Under such unfavorable conditions, the only thing in the Eighth Route Army that is more powerful than the little devils is one point - the common people!

Many people will think that relying on the common people, the Eighth Route Army is like a fish in water, but the problem is that this sentence is easy to say, but not many people can understand the sadness, blood and tears in it: how many people support the Eighth Route Army in order to support the Eighth Route Army in fighting devils; how many people support the Eighth Route Army in order to send food, drink and medicine to the wounded of the Eighth Route Army, but they even take out the only old hen in the family; how many people would rather sacrifice themselves in order to cover the Eighth Route Army, and are unwilling to reveal even the location of even one Eighth Route Army...... How many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army sacrificed themselves to protect the villagers, fought bloody battles with little devils, and even sacrificed an entire squad for the sake of a common people.

This is the love of fish and water, the solidified love of steel poured out of blood and life, you have me, I have you, regardless of each other...... Therefore, fish and water love is not just a sentence, but a spirit, a belief, only in this way, and only in this way, this sentence will be eternal.

Take the county seat of Sanqiao County as an example, when the assault regiment organized everyone to retreat, the people in the county responded to every call, and they were the earliest and most of the three counties, and basically did not add trouble to the assault regiment. Even, when many people knew that the little devils were coming, and when the commando regiment was going to fight the little devils to the death in the county town, they took the initiative to find the people of the assault group and asked that their houses be ripped off and the beams and bricks used for building fortifications. Salt and the like told the people of the assault regiment that the people of the assault regiment could only use it; even, some wealthy people patted their chests and told the people of the assault regiment that as long as they could use our house and the cement in my warehouse, they would only work, because that was the virtue of my ancestors, it was my glory, and we were businessmen, but we were even more upright and Chinese, which could not be compared with the Japanese slaves of the three islands...... If it weren't for the desperate spirit of the people who would rather destroy it than leave it to the little devils, if it weren't for the strong support of the people, just relying on the assault regiment itself, wanting to complete the construction of the pillboxes and fortifications in the county town within a few days, it would be a fool's dream, and the raw materials alone were enough to make the assault regiment daunting.

And these are the source of the power of the assault regiment, the root of the strength of the assault regiment, and what the assault regiment wants to protect now.

Although the Second Company and the Fourth Company are now ordered to only need to contain some of the little devils' troops, but the bullets have no eyes, and they still suffer casualties from time to time, but none of the soldiers in the Second Company and the Fourth Company admit it, and even many wounded people would rather die than get out of the line of fire, and the medical staff and the comrades of the stretcher team who watched there all had tears in their eyes.

The first and third companies that blocked the enemy head-on, as well as the 200 militiamen who were urgently dispatched, fought even harder.

The fierceness of the battle, the anger of the desperate heart, and the artillery fire in the sky, just one example can be seen at a glance.

Wang Sangui is a sub-machine gunner, and he is firing with a rifle while observing the main gunner on the left.

However, while fighting, the machine gun suddenly fell silent.

Wang Sangui turned his head to look, but saw that the host gunner was already lying on the machine gun, his eyes were wide with anger, his face was pale, and his lips were blue, but his eyes had lost their luster, obviously a sacrifice.

Wang Sangui was shocked, and hurriedly picked up the host gunner, but was stunned to find that the host gunner's head was not injured. Closer inspection revealed that the main gunner's left shoulder was on the lower side, and there was a bullet hole not far from the heart. And the left half of the main gunman's body was almost completely stained red with blood, and even where he shot just now, a large area was stained red.

Obviously, the main gunner was injured a long time ago, but he endured it without telling anyone, continued to fight, and in the end, died alive due to excessive blood loss.

The heart of desperately killing the enemy is like this, and there is naturally no need to say anything about other aspects.

And most importantly, the performance of the militia greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

The assault regiment headquarters left 500 militiamen, which were originally used as reserves, after all, the continuous transfer of troops from the city led to a great weakening of the defense force of the entire county...... Of course, there is no way to do this, and everyone knows that the militia in positional warfare is no match for the regular army, but where can we find it at this time? It is already very good to have 500 militiamen as reserves, and this is still Hu Yingze's insistence at that time, otherwise, all of them would have to be incorporated into the Sanqiao County Guerrilla Brigade.

I don't know if it's because I'm a reserve, so I'm not convinced, or because I saw my comrades fighting so hard and stimulated the anger in my heart, or because I was infected by the tragic atmosphere of the battlefield...... In short, the murderous aura displayed by these two hundred militiamen surprised everyone as soon as they came up.

Later, when fighting a positional battle with the little devils, at the beginning, when they saw these militiamen, everyone was still worried that although these militiamen had fought in the past, they basically fired at each other with the enemy at a long distance, or they cooperated with the main force, carried ammunition on the side, carried a stretcher, and occasionally pulled out a small group of people to fight together, and so on, and few people even heard the sound of artillery. This has to suddenly face the little devil's planes, artillery, tanks, and armored vehicles, not to mention anything else, this formation alone is probably not something that ordinary people can bear.

Many people who have never been on the battlefield and have never felt the shelling of artillery will habitually think that there is nothing to be afraid of on the battlefield, it is a big deal, and when the enemy fires artillery, I will just hide. However, in fact, you may hear the sound of the cannonball, you will feel that the end of the world has come, you will instinctively be afraid, you will pee your pants, and you will even run around like a madman, driven by instinct to avoid evil......

The atmosphere is something that cannot be seen or touched, but on the battlefield, there is a very strong feeling about the atmosphere, and if you see the enemy all over the mountains and fields, will you be afraid? Whether it is a veteran or a rookie, they will definitely be afraid, the problem is that the veteran knows how to overcome this fear, and the rookie will still only be afraid. In this fear, you will be afraid that you will not even have the slightest strength, and you will even feel that it is difficult to breathe......

When you see the enemy's huge tank rumbling towards you, many people will habitually dodge, but how many people will rush up with the tank with their * bag?

All of this is a rookie's shortcomings, not to mention some militiamen who have never even heard the sound of artillery a few times in their lives, and it is the first time they have seen tanks and armored vehicles?

So, at first, it was normal for people to be worried about the militia. To put it more bluntly, many veterans look down on this group of militia in their hearts, thinking that they will panic the position because of fear and fear, and finally let everyone end up together.

However, Hu Yingze's remarks, which personally brought them over, aroused the fighting spirit of the militiamen.

"You are all local, but many of you are not from the county seat, so some of you will think, 'Anyway, my family is not in the county seat, in the countryside and mountain villages, even if the little devils occupy the county seat, they may not be able to come to my house', then, I can tell you responsibly that you are very wrong in this thinking. As the old saying goes, there are no eggs under the nest. Think for yourself, once the county town is occupied by the little devils, they will not send troops to loot grain and grass everywhere, search for the rebels, and in these actions, they will definitely kill people without mercy, they will burn down everyone's houses, and they will insult your wives and daughters...... However, think about it on the other hand, as long as the county seat is saved, then everything is saved, everyone can continue to live with their heads held high, and when they are old, they can also tell their children and grandchildren about today's war, and they can proudly tell their children and grandchildren, 'Lao Tzu also killed the little devil back then......"

Not to mention that the militiamen are all enthusiastic, even the veterans feel that there is a ball of anger burning in their chests.

Subsequently, the militiamen who went to the battlefield really fought to the death.

There is a militiaman named Zhang Xiaoma, who knows martial arts, is extremely flexible, and has a good brain.

It's just that his luck is not very good, the little devil began to attack, and his left arm was injured, but he was also stubborn, he didn't shout, and then continued to fight with his right hand.

Later, when he saw the little devil's armored vehicles rushing over in a row, the battalion organized a death squad to blow up the little devil's armored car, and he was the first to sign up.

It's just that he is really a little lucky today, holding a * bag, rushing forward thirty or forty meters as nimbly as a monkey, and was stunned by a cannonball. I happened to faint in a small dry ditch......
