On this morning, after returning from the 10-kilometer cross-country training, Gao Jianwu gathered the team, but did not give lectures or arrange tasks for everyone as usual, but brought out a simple sand table made of wooden boards.

There are muddy mountains, rivers and roads paved with wild grass, mountain villages represented by leaves and devil strongholds represented by stones, and there is the feeling of being in the sand table for hundreds of miles, which was slowly made by Gao Jiancheng at night little by little during this period of time according to the information he inquired about.

"Comrades, after a month of unremitting investigation and understanding, our current situation has basically been marked on this sand table." Gao Jianwu pointed to the sand table with a branch.

"Today's task is to choose a suitable combat target to attack according to our state."

"Captain, I've been waiting for this day for a long time." When Zhao Dalei heard this, he was happy. During this time, he was the most suffocated, although Gao Jianwu took them and had fulfilling tasks every day.

And everyone can appreciate the importance of everything in the work they are engaged in.

But Zhao Dalei, a person born to fight, can no longer satisfy his enthusiasm for fighting just by shooting targets.

"Da Lei, don't worry, our Dagushan guerrillas now have a small capital, a small family and a small business, and they must live a careful life.

You see, within a radius of 10 miles around Xiaoguyuan, we have successively opened up Xiaoyang Village, Majialing, Baishipu, Laoliangao, and Laoyingliang, which are all in the ravines, and the traffic is blocked and the roads are difficult to walk, and even the two devils are usually reluctant to come. ”

"It looks like it's safe, but it's actually a lot hard to defend, and it's hard to resist the devil's attack."

"Secondly, the surrounding area of Xiaoguyuan is poor and sparsely populated, with only five or six hundred households in five villages, more than 3,000 people of old and young, plus more than 400 households and more than 1,000 people in Xiaoguyuan, with a total of more than 2,000 acres of cultivated land, and it is very difficult to support themselves.

As you can see, although we have initially mobilized the masses and many people have expressed their desire to become soldiers, at present we can only develop a militia that does not work out of production in our localities, and it is not appropriate to rapidly expand the ranks of guerrillas.

On the one hand, they can't afford to raise it, and on the other hand, it is difficult to hold the base area. ”

Gao Jianwu's words made the team members understand why the captain had been pressing the guerrillas to expand. Zhao Dalei, in particular, has always advocated the expansion of guerrillas as many guns as there are.

At this moment, after listening to the captain's words, think about it carefully, it is really like this.

Not to mention anything else, just for the problem of simply eating, except for the first time the team took 50 stone of grain from Zhao Facai's family, the "donations" obtained by the rest of the villages from the landlord Lao Cai were all given to the local poor households who could not open the pot.

Just the 9 of them, after a day of high-intensity training, they have to consume at least 20 catties, and 50 stone of grain is a matter of several months.

It's not impossible to eat less, it turns out that everyone has lived a day with less than a pound of food, but when they are hungry, they can't complete Gao Jianwu's field training of starting 30 miles a day and 40 or 50 miles a day.

Now why are you alive and vigorous, it's not that your stomach is full.

Seeing that everyone was thoughtful, Gao Jianwu was slightly pleased, this time the class was not in vain, and the development of the base area is not something that a reckless man can do, and now he can let everyone follow him throughout the whole process and develop Xiaoguyuan to this day, although it has not yet passed the test of war, it is not an iron camp, but everyone has begun to learn to think more comprehensively.

"Therefore, we must fight out and expand our base." Gao Jianwu pointed to the sand table.

"You see, the nearest devil stronghold to us is Dagu Town, more than 20 miles northwest of Xiaoguyuan, where a small team of devils and a company of the Imperial Association Army are stationed. There are more than 30 little devils and more than 100 second devils of the Imperial Allied Army, and there are watchtower fortifications, and we can't gnaw on this kind of stronghold. ”

"Secondly, in the Black Cloud Village of Dagu Mountain, there is a group of bandits, it is said that there are three or four hundred people, this Black Cloud Village is located in the depths of the Big Gu Mountain, the terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the strength is strong, the Jin Sui army, the devil has not succeeded in encircling and suppressing several times."

"More than 40 miles in the southeast direction of us, it is the traffic point to rush to Wanjia Town, there are more than 100 people in 2 squads of devils stationed in the station, plus nearly 200 people in the reinforcement company of the two devils of the Imperial Association Army, the fortification bunker is much stronger than Dagu Town, and there are often devils and the Imperial Association army in and out, it is difficult to grasp the actual enemy situation, and it is not that the main force cannot defeat it."

"And the current distance between us and Zhao Jiayu of the regiment headquarters, according to the itinerary, we should at least break through to the north for at least a hundred miles, and the main force in the regiment can't reach it, so we can only fight alone in the short term, without any support."

Gao Jianwu simply analyzed the situation clearly, and everyone had a deeper understanding of Gao Jianwu's immobility.

"Captain, if that's the case, we can only go out to the main traffic road to ambush the lone devil and the second devil?" Wang Xilai blinked his eyes and pointed to the highway and said.

"Devils always have to go in and out, and they can't all be big teams, let's guard this road, and when we encounter fewer people, we will kill them!"

"Yes, Xizi has made great progress, our head of the regiment said, we won't do the business at a loss, if we want to fight, we must gain something. Go to the vicinity of the stronghold and put cold guns to fight devils, although you can also kill some devils, but it is difficult to capture, our weapons and ammunition all rely on capturing the enemy, so this kind of battle is as little as possible. Every time you want to fight, you will fight a war of annihilation, strive to destroy all the enemies, and strengthen yourself through capture. Gao Jianwu gave Wang Xilai great encouragement, and at the same time guided the team members how to develop themselves in the face of such a situation.

After all, except for himself, who can't be treated with common sense, everyone else is normal, and maybe everyone will have to be released to face these situations alone.

For future development, Gao Jianwu needs a large number of leading talents who are in charge of their own affairs, and such talents can only be brought out slowly by him.

"Kiko is right, but I don't think the two core problems that the captain said have been solved, how to continue to expand the base area and hold our base area."

After Lu Fan habitually took out the smoke pot and smoked it, he pointed at the sand table with the smoke pot and continued, "If we want to continue to expand the base area, we will go to Dagu Town, the closer we are to the devils, the higher the possibility of our guerrillas being exposed, if we add the attack on the devil's traffic, the devils and the second devil in Dagu Town will definitely attack everywhere to find us." Once we launch a sweep in the countryside, we can't beat and run, and the people will suffer. ”

When everyone heard Lu Fan say this, they couldn't help but feel a little awe-inspiring in their hearts, although they said that they were not afraid of devils.

However, under the current situation, once the target is exposed, the base area that has just been established is bound to be swept away, and with the current strength of the guerrillas, even the devils and the second devils in Dagushan Town cannot be defeated.

What about the militia and the women's relief associations that have just been organized?

"Lao Lu makes a lot of sense." Gao Jianwu looked at Lu Fan, who was drooping after speaking, and suddenly was a little impressed, this middle-aged man who usually didn't say much before, has been working hard and diligent and asking questions with him in this period, and he has made great progress, and this pattern has also opened up a lot.

"This is the core issue that I have brought everyone together to discuss today, we must reopen the situation and find a foundation that can be attacked and defended!" Gao Jianwu continued.

"Let's take down Heiyun Village first!" Gao Jianwu used a branch to pestle heavily on the stone in Heiyun Village.
