If it is said that the previous commendation meeting was full of laughter, then the company-level cadres meeting held in the evening was serious. At least, Zhang Qingshan is very popular.

"Comrades, I have proposed that today's meeting be held on an ad hoc basis, because I feel that it is now necessary for us to properly correct some of the pompous and arrogant tendencies in the troops. Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan deliberately picked up the steel cup in front of the table and took a sip of water, but his eyes looked at the comrades below.

Sure enough, as he expected, the comrades were immediately buzzed by this topic, because some comrades opposed it before, and some comrades proposed it, which caused two atmospheres, and now, hearing that Zhang Qingshan took the initiative to break this atmosphere, it was strange that everyone did not discuss and discuss it.

"Quiet!"

Zhang Qingshan put down the steel cup, and after closing the lid slowly, he said: "I know, some comrades saw that the battle of Weijia Wharf was fought so smoothly, and they achieved proud trophies with almost zero casualties, and they will inevitably wonder in their hearts: Since our combat effectiveness is so strong, and the combat effectiveness of the devils is so weak, they don't even dare to fight. Besides, the devils and the second devils in the county have so few troops, why don't we take the county seat as well, so that the little devils can be dismounted. Right?"

Everyone stopped talking, and everyone looked at Zhang Qingshan with wide eyes.

Zhang Qingshan said lightly: "Speaking from the heart, in fact, I also have this idea and impulse. Why? Because this is indeed a dismount for the devil in a short period of time, and it can greatly achieve the effect of playing the prestige of the commando regiment that we formulated before the war. Besides, our current strength, coupled with proper arrangement, can also occupy the county seat at a very small cost. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people below immediately talked about it again, and even Zhang Qingshan could hear someone saying, "Yes, I said a long time ago, if you do this, you can let the little devil know the power of our commando regiment......"

Zhang Qingshan waited a little, and when he saw that the discussion below was louder, he patted the table and said, "Quiet, quiet! This is a place for meetings, not for singing, can you listen to me finish speaking before expressing your opinions? This is called respect, understand?"

After waiting for the silence below, Zhang Qingshan said: "However, what I want to say is that comrades, we must not be so short-sighted, and we must consider the problem from a long-term perspective. ”

"I won't say anything else, I'll just ask you two questions: First, do you really think that the little devil's combat effectiveness is so poor, so bad that he will run away when he sees our assault regiment?"

Although Zhang Qingshan had made a lot of preparations for this speech, when he said this, he still couldn't help but sneer and said: "If the devil's combat effectiveness is so poor, then I have to ask everyone, why did our Chinese army retreat after the Battle of Xinkou? Don't tell me any internal contradictions within non-cooperation, that is only one of the reasons...... The pre-war training of the devils, whether it is shooting or assassination, is no worse than ours, to put it more seriously, many places are indeed better than ours...... Don't be in a hurry to argue, this is an indisputable fact. If nothing else, let's just talk about shooting training, Lao Chiang's soldiers, their recruit training, each person has dozens of bullets, and our Eighth Route Army has only two rounds. If you don't believe it, you can think about it...... Of course, the shooting training of our assault regiment is indeed stronger than that of our brother troops, but if I remember correctly, it is only 20 bullets, which is not even comparable to Lao Chiang's soldiers. So, do you know how many rounds of ammunition each recruit has to shoot in the shooting training of the little devils? I tell you, it's 1,400 rounds, and every soldier has to finish 1,400 rounds!"

The following discussion immediately became louder, like a fryer, and many people bluntly said that they didn't believe it.

If you don't believe me, you can ask Political Commissar Hu and a few battalion commanders, but this investigation is not something we said ourselves, nor is it said by Lao Jiang or a little devil, but the results of a foreigner's investigation. Although I think there is a false element in it, even if it shrinks again, half of it will always be there, right? 1,400 rounds minus half and 700 rounds, which is also a terrifying quality. Comrades, what do you see in this?"

"Some people will say that even if the little devil is well trained, without the support of the desperate spirit in the war, we can still win. However, I regret to tell you that under the influence of Japanese militarism, the spirit of bushido, which the Japanese have always paid attention to, has also become crooked, but the purpose of their bushido spirit is to cultivate soldiers with a spirit that is not afraid of death, and of course, it has also turned them into not taking other people's lives seriously...... These were embodied in the Battle of Xinkou, not to mention anything else, just to say that this surrender, the entire Battle of Xinkou, hundreds of thousands of troops fought together, and as a result, they did not capture a few Japanese devils, why? Because even if these little devils were seriously injured, they were extremely aggressive, and they were not willing to surrender at all......

A passage of words that made others want to extinguish their own prestige finally ignited what the comrades below said.

A comrade couldn't help but stand up, and interjected angrily and asked: "Regiment leader, what you said is too absolute, isn't it? Almost all the devils have been lifted to the sky, according to what you mean, we won't fight this little devil, and we will all go home and wait for death directly?"

"This comrade's question is good. Zhang Qingshan looked at him with a smile, and after he sat down, Zhang Qingshan said: "We Communists have always paid attention to seeking truth from facts, especially us soldiers, and this should be even more so. ”

"What I said earlier is true, and that must be acknowledged. Because only by respecting the facts can we find out the weaknesses of the opponent and target them specifically, so that we can achieve victory, instead of being complacent because of a victory, thinking that the enemy is nothing more than that...... Take our battle at Weijia Wharf as an example, it was not that the little devil ran away, but because of a few accidents, we didn't have a head-on confrontation with the little devil. For example, Comrade Liu Bing, commander of the 1st Battalion, took the main force of the 1st Battalion to attack the devil's warehouse on the dock, but the devils there temporarily left a few hours ago with the transport fleet of the devils. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "The devil has strong individual combat ability, and his weapons are much better than ours." Speaking of which, I am reminded of the fact that everyone knows that the devil's aircraft artillery is more powerful than ours, and I believe everyone admits this, right? Well, what should we do to make the most of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses?"

"I know. A comrade stood up and replied: "We should fight guerrilla warfare with the devils before our strength becomes stronger, so that the devils cannot find our specific location, and their aircraft and artillery will be equivalent to having no target. ”

"And. Another comrade also stood up and spoke: "If it really doesn't work, we can still engage the devils in a short fight, so that the victory or defeat will not be said first, but we will definitely make the devils' planes and artillery dare not bomb indiscriminately, because then it is very likely that even their own people will be killed." ”

Zhang Qingshan smiled and nodded, and after inviting the comrade who had spoken to sit down, he said: "Yes! Everyone is right, these are all good tactical methods." However, from a strategic point of view, it must be more far-reaching, and this brings me to the second question I want to ask you: Should we take the county seat now?"

"Now the devils only have a small number of troops in Sanqiao County and several nearby counties, and their main forces are all placed on the previous Battle of Xinkou. And now, the Battle of Xinkou has just ended, so the devils have only two ways to go: one is to turn back to us in order to consolidate their occupied area, and the other is to continue to march towards Taiyuan. And I personally think that with the pride of the devils, and after the Lugou Bridge incident, they have not lost in the battle of the conference, so I think they should continue to march towards Taiyuan next......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan smiled strangely and said, "Comrades, we can't manage it elsewhere, and we don't have the ability to manage it." However, we can hold the enemy back. ”

"Commander, didn't you just say that we should develop our own strength first......?

"To develop strength is to develop strength, to fight devils is to fight devils, the two sides can coexist, and everyone can develop strength while fighting devils! We must not forget to fight devils in order to develop our own strength, in that way, when the devils occupy the whole of China, it will be useless for us to develop and grow. Besides, I didn't say that I wouldn't fight devils for the sake of my own strength. ”

"Okay, let's get down to business!" Zhang Qingshan took a puff of cigarette and said: "The devil's army is strong and our weapons and equipment are excellent, so how should we deal with it?" I think that in just four words, 'relying on the masses, only by mobilizing the masses to form a situation of all-people resistance against Japan, so that the devils can become blind, and let the devils know immediately what they eat in the morning, so that we will have the upper hand...... Therefore, we must closely rely on the masses and live and die with the people, and I believe that the devils will definitely be driven out of China by us. ”

"I think everyone is famous for these words, so I won't say more. I just want to remind you comrades that during the Battle of Xinkou, our assault regiment had just developed, and even if we wanted to, we couldn't help, but now that the Battle of Xinkou is over, let's admit that we failed in the Battle of Xinkou, but now our assault regiment has grown. So, next, whether the devils want to consolidate the occupied area or attack Taiyuan, hey, hey, our assault regiment can help. Not to mention anything else, it is still possible to hold back part of the enemy's forces, and in this way, it can be regarded as indirectly helping the friendly forces in front. Isn't that right?"

"Commander, do you mean that we have a big battle to fight next?"

Zhang Qingshan nodded, but did not continue to discuss this issue, after all, this is his next plan, to throw a wind in advance, just to appease everyone's hearts, as for the specific details, there is really no need to discuss here, after all, the principle of confidentiality still has to be observed.

Therefore, Zhang Qingshan directly diverted the topic......
