Ouyang Yu, commander of the second company of the 1st Battalion of the 386th Independent Regiment of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, bravely killed the enemy in the first-line sky blocking battle, stubbornly blocked the frenzied attack of the Japanese Yamazaki Brigade for more than two hours, successfully covered the timely transfer of the divisional hospital, and decided to award Comrade Ouyang Yu the title of anti-Japanese hero and a special merit medal of the Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region after study by the party committee of the headquarters, hoping that this comrade would continue to work hard to kill the enemy bravely and continue to struggle for the cause of national liberation of the Chinese people. ”

Political Commissar Zhao Gang put the commendation order in Ouyang Yu's hand, and there was a warm applause in the headquarters of the Independent Regiment.

The current time is the seventeenth day after the first-line sky blocking battle, and Ouyang Yu, who had just finished treatment from the division hospital, was called to the regimental headquarters.

Ouyang Yu, who was full of joy, received the commendation order with both hands, and then saluted the regiment commander Li Yunlong, political commissar Zhao Gang, and other cadres of the Eighth Route Army present.

Li Yunlong walked to Ouyang Yu's side and praised: "Girl, you did a good job, you played the prestige of our independent regiment, and you didn't disgrace my old Li, I heard Jiang Yuguo say, when you were fighting bayonets, you killed more than a dozen little devils by yourself, amazing, even my Lao Li can't do this record." ”

"Commander, don't listen to Jiang Yuguo's nonsense, how can I be so powerful, I'm just lucky. Ouyang Yu said modestly.

After the battle, Jiang Yuguo and Xiaobai didn't say that Ouyang Yu's "magical" backpack was for three reasons, the first is that no one will believe it if it is said, and the second is that most of the weapons have been destroyed in the battle and not many have been lost, and the rest have all been picked up by the friendly soldiers who came to the rescue, and the friendly soldiers who picked up the weapons thought it was the weapon of the Japanese army, plus they had a lifelong friendship with Ouyang Yu, and they didn't want her to be taken away for investigation because of this incident, so they all had a tacit understanding and didn't say it.

Zhao Gang also said on the side: " Someone said that luck is also a kind of strength, I think this sentence is true, but not absolutely, if it is not for your own hard foundation, good marksmanship, no matter how good your luck is, you can't do a dozen little devils, so you don't want to be humble anymore, in addition to this commendation order of the headquarters, the regimental party committee also has a commendation, when the Yamazaki brigade was exterminated, the commander of the second battalion unfortunately died, so after the study and decision of the party committee, you will be appointed as the commander of the second battalion, I hope you can train the second battalion as the second company to be good at fighting. ”

After Zhao just finished speaking, Li Yunlong continued: "The second company was out of the limelight when it exterminated the Yamazaki brigade, and the assassination exercises and three-three tactics you handed over to them made the second company suffer the least casualties and the greatest results, even the old boy of Yamazaki was killed by Wang Shuisheng, a soldier of the second company, you little girl has such a good thing to hide and don't take it out, but it's too uninteresting." ”

To popularize science, the three-three system tactics first originated during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, matured in the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and were widely used in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

Tactical principle: The squad is divided into three combat groups, each combat group has three people, and in order to facilitate mutual contact, it is generally arranged in three echelons.

The three-man battle team is in a triangular offensive formation, with each soldier having a clear division of labor, attacking-covering-supporting. The squad leader, deputy squad leader, and team leader each lead a combat group to act.

When the combat group attacked, two soldiers were in front and the group leader was behind, forming a triangular formation, with three combat groups forming a combat squad and three combat squads forming a battle group.

When the combat squad is deployed, the soldiers change the battle formation at any time according to the instructions of the team leader or squad leader, and after the battle group is deployed, the tactical instructions are conveyed by "spoken language", "sign language", "military horn" or "radio", and a total of 27 people can cover a battle line 800 meters wide when fully deployed.

Ouyang Yu smiled embarrassedly: "Commander, it's not that I don't want to make it public, but the assassination drill and the three-three system tactics are just my superficial ideas, and I plan to report to you after the second company's experiment is mature, you see." Ouyang Yu took out a document from the briefcase on his waist, "This is my summary and detailed introduction to the tactics of the three-three system during my treatment, and I am going to give this thing to you this time." ”

Li Yunlong took the document like a treasure, nodded while reading it, there were some things that he needed to announce were thrown aside, as Li Yunlong's good CP Zhao Gang could only shake his head helplessly, and said loudly to the cadres present: "Comrades, some time ago, our army launched a hundred regiments battle, which caused serious damage and impact on the Japanese army's lines of communication, and the materials sent by the Japanese army to the front line were reduced a lot, and several huge offensives that wanted to be launched had to be stopped, and the frontal battlefield was strongly supported. ”

"Great. ”

"Now Shuangqing will no longer say that we swim and do not attack. ”

After hearing the results, the cadres started an excited discussion, and after the cadres quieted down, Zhao Gang continued: "But because of our destruction, the Japanese army is about to launch a large-scale retaliatory action against our base area, and the appearance of the Yamazaki Brigade is an omen, in order to avoid excessive damage to the base area, so the headquarters ordered us to disperse to various places, and burn the anti-Japanese guerrilla war to the Japanese occupation area, now I order!"

All the cadres, including Ouyang Yu, stood upright.

"Order the first battalion to go to the area of Zaozhuang, order the second battalion to go to the area of Gaozhuang County, and order the third battalion to go to the area of Lijiatun.

"Yes!" ×N.

In mid-May 1940, a convoy of more than 300 people drove up at the junction of Jin and Ji provinces, and this team took advantage of the darkness to cross the road patrolled by the Japanese army and disappeared into the dense woods.

Ouyang Yu took out the map, turned on a small flashlight, looked at it, then put it away, and whispered to Xiao Bai who was standing beside her: "It's not far from the destination, order the troops to speed up and try to arrive before dawn." ”

"Yes. ”

This unit is Ouyang Yu's second battalion, the second battalion set off from the base area after three days and three nights of hurrying and finally approached the destination, located in Gaozhuang County at the junction of Jin Province and Hebei Province, Gaozhuang County is surrounded by two highways and a railway, is an important transportation hub of the Japanese army, Ouyang Yu is ready to settle down here first, and then make several big news in a row.

In the early hours of the morning, Ouyang Yu's second battalion finally arrived at Weijia Village, west of Gaozhuang County, and after connecting with the local comrades, the second battalion quietly entered Weijia Village.

"Hello Battalion Commander Ouyang, I am Wu Ren, Secretary of the District Party Committee of Gaozhuang County, this is Wang Dachun, the militia captain of the District Brigade, and this is Shen Cuihua, the women's director. ”

Ouyang Yu and the local comrades introduced each other to a fellow villager in Weijia Village, Wu Ren, secretary of the district party committee, was in his forties and had a loyal and honest appearance, which made people feel good, Wang Dachun, the captain of the militia of the district brigade, was a strong young man in his twenties, one meter seven or eight tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and Shen Cuihua, the women's director, was a little daughter-in-law in her thirties, who looked quite shrewd and very calculating.

During the conversation, an old man and a young girl put a few bowls of fragrant noodles on the table and said, "Camp Commander Ouyang, are you hungry? ”

Wu Ren introduced: "This is Yang Laohan and his daughter Yang Xi'er. ”

"Hello, let you break the bank, Xiaobai will take an ocean to this fellow. ”

The honest Yang Laohan said that he didn't answer the ocean handed by Xiaobai, "I can't ask for the money of this female chief, the white noodles for making noodles were brought by District Mayor Wu, and the old man just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and I really can't ask for this money." ”

Ouyang Yu looked at Wu Ren, Wu Ren nodded, and Ouyang Yu asked Xiaobai to put away the ocean.

Ouyang Yu was indeed hungry after a day's journey, picked up the noodles and stuffed the noodles into his mouth, the local comrades waited for her to be hungry all day, and they all picked up the bowl to eat, Yang Xi'er sat down next to Ouyang Yu and looked at her with a smile for a while and asked, "Camp Commander Ouyang, how old are you this year?"

Ouyang Yu swallowed the noodles in his mouth and replied, "I'm just twenty years old this year. ”

Yang Xi'er continued to ask with a look of admiration: "Wow, you are only twenty years old, you are three years older than me, how did you become the battalion commander?"

"Twenty days ago, a brigade of little devils broke into the base area, blew up the arsenal and tried to destroy the division hospital, and I happened to be ...... in the hospital at that time. ”

Ouyang Yu told the situation of the first-line sky blocking battle, Yang Xi'er and the others who listened to it were very engrossed, and even the noodles were not eaten and listened to her story, when they heard that Ouyang Yu was alone to deal with more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, Yang Xi'er's little face turned pale as if he was in the scene, and his hands were tightly clasped together, and when he heard that Ouyang Yu turned the corner, his little face returned to blood, and his hands were released but they were already wet with sweat.

"Battalion Commander Ouyang, you are too powerful, more than ten little devils have been killed by you, you are really the best example for our women, hum, some people always say that fighting is a man's business, and it is good for women to take care of their children at home with peace of mind, even if they go to the battlefield, they will drag their feet, and some people have nothing to say now." ”

Yang Xi'er made a grimace at Wang Dachun, who was sitting opposite, someone in her mouth was talking about Wang Dachun, Wang Dachun touched the back of his head embarrassedly and wanted to refute but didn't dare to speak in front of Ouyang Yu, so he could only roll his eyes depressedly.

Shen Cuihua, who was sitting on the side, smiled, and a pair of eyes kept turning around Yang Xi'er and Wang Dachun's bodies and quipped: "Xi'er is right, some people's machismo should indeed be reined in, otherwise the two of them will not quarrel every day when they get married." ”

Shen Cuihua pointed out that Yang Xi'er suddenly made Yang Xi'er blush, Wang Dachun also blushed and smirked, it turned out that Yang Xi'er and Wang Dachun had a good impression of each other, but Yang Xi'er, who had a strong personality, also wanted to go to the front line to fight little devils, but Wang Dachun did not allow Yang Xi'er to go to the front line for various reasons, one of which was that women on the front line would not only not fight, but would drag their feet, and Yang Xi'er would be half dead and quarrel with Wang Dachun.

Ouyang Yu also heard the taste, smiled and put down the bowl that had eaten up the noodles, took Yang Xi'er's little hand and asked, "Miss Yang, my battalion is not familiar with the surrounding terrain and landforms when I first came here, are you familiar with the neighborhood? If so, would you like to be my guide?"

"Yes, willing!" As soon as Ouyang Yu finished speaking, Yang Xi'er agreed, "I have been running around Gaozhuang County since I was a child, and there is no place near Gaozhuang County that I am not familiar with." After Yang Xi'er finished speaking, she raised her chin at Wang Dachun demonstratively.

As soon as Wang Dachun wanted to speak, Shen Cuihua stepped on the instep of his foot, and the words blurted out were immediately swallowed back into his stomach.

Ouyang Yu's second battalion has not yet gained a firm foothold, first of all, it needs to find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack as a foothold, it is impossible to live in the village every day, which will bring danger to the people in the village, so after a short rest, under the leadership of the newly appointed guide Yang Xi'er, he took the guard platoon to check the nearby terrain.

Gaozhuang County is located in the east of the Taihang Mountains, and the terrain is still relatively complex, which is very suitable for carrying out mountain sports guerrilla warfare, but there are not many suitable places for garrisons, and Yang Xi'er took Ouyang Yu for a morning and did not find a suitable place.

The weather in May was getting hotter, Xiaobai filled a kettle full of mountain spring water and gave it to Ouyang Yu to quench his thirst, Ouyang Yu drank half of it in one go, and then leaned against the shade of the tree and asked Yang Xi'er, "Are there bandits around here?"

"Yes, not only but a lot. ”

"So which bandit's stockade is the most dangerous?"

Since he couldn't find a suitable place, Ouyang Yu hit the idea on the bandits, the bandits generally occupy dangerous terrain and set up camp, if there is a suitable one, it also saves the effort of building a house, and can directly "screw the bag and move in".

"Which bandit's stockade is the most dangerous? Yang Xi'er walked back and forth with her hands behind her back like an old pedant for a while before replying: "More than 20 miles north of here, there is a Qingfeng Village, where the bandit village is the most dangerous, there are more than 500 bandits in Qingfeng Village, the leader heard that she is still a very beautiful woman, nicknamed Qingfeng Iron Lady, of course, you are not as beautiful as Ouyang Battalion Commander, you are beautiful, you are a double gun, and you are the largest group of bandits in our local area." ”

Hearing Yang Xi'er pat her little fart, Ouyang Yu smiled and touched her head, Yang Xi'er also had long black hair that was shining up to her waist, and her long hair was combed into a twisted braid and hung down behind her.

"So what is the bandit style of Qingfengzhai? Do you often rob and bully our people?"

"Yes, there are, but compared with other bandits, there are fewer bullies and never kill, but they go down the mountain to grab food during the autumn harvest, but the bandits in Qingfeng Village will leave a little bit for people to grab food, unlike other bandits who will not only rob all but also kill people. ”

Ouyang Yu has a general understanding of the bandit situation in Gaozhuang County through Yang Xi'er, she thinks that the bandits in Qingfengzhai are objects that can be united, if the bandits in Qingfengzhai can be co-opted, it will definitely be a big increase in her strength, but if you want to incorporate the bandits in Qingfengzhai now, you must start with other weak bandits.

The bandits who incorporated Qingfeng Village can take their time, but the foothold of Ouyang Yu's second battalion cannot be delayed, "Is there a bandit village with a small number of people and a place that can be regarded as a heinous crime?"

"Think about it. Yang Xi'er thought about it with her chin and then said with a happy face: "Yes, there is a place called Tiger Squatting Mountain more than forty miles south of the county seat, and there is a group of bandits of more than 100 people entrenched in the mountain, and the bandit leader is called Nan Batian, this gang of bandits is extremely vicious and does all kinds of evil, often robbing passers-by, kidnapping rich households, robbing food, and robbing women, which is heinous!"

After Ouyang Yu heard this, a cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "My Ouyang Yu's blood in Gaozhuang County will be contributed by this group of bandits." ”
