Chapter 15: On Protracted War

Pushing open the half-hidden door, there were a group of people wearing towels on their heads, fat and thin, with guns more or less pinned to their waists, or carrying guns on their backs, most of the guns were old sleeves, and the skin of many gun belts was seriously worn, and some of them carried a few homemade grenades, all with sallow or dark faces.

Seeing the door being pushed open, a pair of eyes looked at it in unison.

"Lao Gao, you can be regarded as here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

These people were all from the villages near the sub-district to fight against the Japanese, and they all joined the guerrilla forces, and the sub-districts held meetings, met and sometimes had to act together, and basically they were very familiar with each other.

The old village chief walked in with the two of them, sat in a seat vacated by everyone, and said: "This is not the devil sweeping, the old road taken, it has been delayed for some time, but it is safe enough, bring more than a dozen guns, if we are caught by the devil, it is a small matter for us to sacrifice, and it is a big thing for the gun to be gone." ”

When it comes to weapons and equipment that are in short supply, it is always a heavy topic, and some comrades, in order to preserve the only guns, and they are still badly worn, when facing the enemy, protect the guns under them, preferring to be wounded themselves rather than have the guns damaged in the slightest.

After all, if you sacrifice, you will sacrifice, but as long as you have guns, you will be able to destroy more enemies, you will be able to reduce your sacrifices, you will be able to protect your village, protect your relatives, and protect those unarmed people.

In their subconscious, guns have been put first, and life is second.

What the old village chief said they can basically understand is that they are not interested in their own safety, but in the safety of their guns.

The old village chief smiled again and said, "What did you say just now, one by one, it's almost a fight." ”

The village chief of Fuzhuang said: "It's not the recent sweep of the Japanese devils, several villages have suffered, the devils have killed a lot of people, many villages have been slaughtered by the devils, and the superiors do not organize resistance, and they can only retreat when they encounter the Japanese devils, so if this continues, who is willing to follow us, who is still willing to believe us." ”

Others also echoed: "Yes, we are not afraid of death, but we can't fight this fight, we can't run and run, it's too aggrieved, we would rather fight with the little devil." ”

"Fight hard with the little devil, kill one, it's worth dying. We don't want to hide and watch the Japanese slaughter village after village without any means. ”

Speaking of what happened during this time, one by one's hearts were full of resentment. Who says it's not, as soon as the devil comes, he can only run away with his tail between his legs, and he can't beat him, and from time to time some comrades die when they run away, and this sacrifice is undoubtedly the most aggrieved.

The old village chief and Xia Yuan glanced at each other, and they could see that everyone had a lot of grievances about the battle plan during this time.

The old village chief didn't know how to comfort them, and only sighed silently, the order they received was to meet the Japanese devils, and under the condition of ensuring the safety of the people themselves, they immediately retreated, not to expose themselves, such a combat plan did make many soldiers full of resentment.

In fact, many people are not afraid of sacrifice, what they are really afraid of is the kind of unclear and unclear death, which makes them feel the most uncomfortable and desperate.

Therefore, their hearts are full of anger.

They sat sideways, upright, smoking, all with sad faces, or with resentment on their faces.

Xia Yuan thought for a while and said: "The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is not something that can end in a short time and a half, the strength and combat effectiveness of the Japanese devils are far above us, if you really want to fight a battle happily, the sacrifice brought is immeasurable, you can't only focus on the present, you should take a long-term view, the War of Resistance against Japan is a protracted war, and persisting in a protracted battle is the right path at the moment." ”

He swept his eyes over the seniors in the room and said: "Seniors, no one wants to die in a nest, everyone wants to fight happily, but everyone wants to think about it, just rely on the few guns in our hands, how to fight with the devil's artillery and armored vehicles, if everyone is sacrificed, then who will protect the people, who will protect the village." Seniors, the retreat is only temporary, we call it avoiding its edge, waiting for us to be full-fledged, that is when we counterattack! ”

Xia Yuan's words made the whole room fall into silence, they didn't drill into the horns, they just thought that such a combat plan was really aggrieved, and they didn't understand the meaning of such a combat plan, their task was to obey orders, so they had resentment in their hearts, but they still insisted on obeying the orders issued by the organization, but they didn't really think about why the organization issued such an order.

And Xia Yuan's words directly woke them up, they are all people who have been gone for half their lives, and there is naturally ideological awareness, as soon as Xia Yuan said this, they understood.

What the organization wants is not this kind of meaningless sacrifice, the sacrifice must be valuable and meaningful.

They are retreating now in order to preserve themselves, preserve their strength, and prepare for a protracted war of resistance.

The old village chief became more and more satisfied with Xia Yuan, stood up and said: "What Comrade Xia Yuan said is reasonable, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese devils is much higher than ours, knowing that they are not the opponents of the Japanese devils, if you go to fight the Japanese devils, what is the difference between that and sending them to death, when you are all dead, who will stop the little devils, let your wives and children stop them?" Only by preserving our strength and persisting in the struggle, as long as one of us remains, then the struggle will not end! ”

The old village chief looked at everyone's faces and said: "The guerrilla warfare in the plains is very difficult, but it is not impossible to do anything, so we came up with a good idea to be able to beat the little devils while preserving ourselves!" ”

When the others heard this, they asked what they had come up with.

The old village chief smiled and said, "Dig a tunnel!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the village chief of Sunzhuang spoke: "Lao Gao, everyone has already thought about the method of digging tunnels, but it won't work at all, the Japanese devils find the mouth of the cellar, and the people inside can't escape. ”

"Hey, it's wrong, it's a tunnel, not a cellar." The old village chief smiled and said: "The tunnel is to connect the cellars, forming a tunnel that extends in all directions, from the tunnel at the east end of the village can run all the way to the west of the village, there are three or four mouths in a tunnel, the Japanese devils found a mouth, we have other mouths, not only that, but there is more than one tunnel, we can dig just like the spider web in the corner." ”

Everyone listened with different faces, they didn't think about connecting the cellars in the village by using tunnels, they just thought about hiding in the cellars, hiding from the sweep of the Japanese devils, the lucky ones would not be discovered by the Japanese devils, and the unfortunate ones would be caught by the Japanese devils, and they might even be killed.

"That's right! Connecting the tunnels in series, this allows the Japs to dig out a cellar, and we have other exits to completely avoid the Japs! ”

The old chief's words woke everyone up, and they looked at each other happily, and the way to connect the cellars together was so good that the Japanese devils could not dig up a cellar and catch them all.

The old village chief said: "The tunnel can not only be used to hide, but also to fight the little devils, our Gaojiazhuang has thought of a set of combat plans called tunnel warfare, the tunnels dug can not only fight the little devils, but also be used to hide." ”

"Gaojiazhuang has been dug up?"

Everyone looked eagerly at the old village chief.

The old village chief said: "Not yet, but it's already digging, waiting for tomorrow morning's meeting, the district chief will let us carefully tell you about the battle plan of the tunnel war, how to use the tunnel to fight the devil, how to realize the mutual cooperation between the village to fight the devil, and how to stop the devil when the devil has not entered the village." ”

The village chief of Sun Zhuang grinned: "Lao Gao, you are not authentic, you even play dumb riddles!" ”

Others chimed in: "That's it, if there's anything you can't say, let's talk about it now." ”

The old village chief said with a smile: "I can't say it, the district still has to contact the superiors and submit the plan for the tunnel war, and it is estimated that the results will be available tonight." ”

After a short period of discussion in the organization, it was decided to first use the three sub-districts of central Hebei as a testing ground to carry out the tunnel warfare campaign and see the actual results of the tunnel warfare.

After receiving the news, the head of the sub-district quickly convened a meeting at 9 a.m. the next day, which was attended by various villages in the vicinity of the sub-district where guerrillas existed, or villages that had joined our party and had already carried out militia and guerrilla warfare, as well as some villages that had not yet launched guerrillas and militia.

In the face of the sweep of the Japanese devils, the people in the central Hebei region should not be afraid of strong enemies, have the courage to struggle, organize the young and middle-aged people in the village, form an anti-Japanese guerrilla force, organize the young women in the village, form a young women's anti-Japanese vanguard, organize the children in the village, form an anti-Japanese children's group, organize the villagers in the village who are still fighting to form a militia.

The anti-Japanese guerrilla was launched in an all-round way, and the whole village was full of soldiers, men, women, and children, united as one to fight against the invading Japanese devils.

The second module is the famous "On Protracted War", which is also a combat plan to deal with the Japanese devils' sweep, that is, to insist on protracted warfare, the meeting under the guidance of the district commander and Cui Company Commander elaborated on the importance of protracted warfare, the War of Resistance against Japan is not a short war, it is destined to be a difficult tug-of-war, the Japanese army wants to complete the goal of invading China and destroying China, and the 40,000,000 Chinese people will never let the Japanese devil's plan succeed.

On the development of protracted warfare, it laid down the operational guidelines for the future, cleared a way for countless anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians to look at the unseen hazy areas ahead, and provided them with a correct direction.

The third module is to mourn and give a high degree of affirmation to the comrades who have died in the anti-Japanese battle in recent days, and to praise those comrades who have made outstanding contributions, including the praise of Xia Yuan.

"Comrade Xia Yuan seized more than 20 weapons and equipment and more than 100 bullets, made a major contribution to the anti-Japanese resistance, and praised him!"

"And Comrade Xia Yuan put forward the operational policy of tunnel warfare, and was affirmed by the superiors, a great achievement, at the same time, all the people of Gaojiazhuang have also made outstanding contributions, a great achievement, the organization attaches great importance to the actual combat ability of tunnel warfare, and uses our district as an experimental site to carry out the tunnel warfare movement!"

The fourth module is the detailed combat plan of tunnel warfare, represented by Xia Yuan, the old village chief, and Sanbao, who sketch the tunnel warfare battle map on the potholed blackboard.

The theory of tunnel warfare is very simple, the core of which is to use tunnel warfare, interspersed with detours, and use the communication ditch between villages as a line of defense to block the Japanese army, and the two villages are combined with each other to form a powerful blocking force to block the Japanese army that sweeps and invades, and can retreat at any time through the tunnels in the communication ditch, and will not expose itself to the guns of the Japanese devils.

The second line of defense is to protect the village ditch, focusing on the strength of individual villages, blocking the invading Japanese army, striking at the arrogance of the Japanese devils, and destroying the invading Japanese army to a great extent.

The third line of defense is a tunnel warfare combat system composed of village buildings and village tunnels, and the devils can quickly strike and destroy the Japanese troops entering the village without seeing or fighting.

The core idea of tunnel warfare is not to fire a second shot in one place, to shoot one, to change places, so that the devils can not feel where the enemy is at all, and they will not be able to effectively strike at the enemy who attacks them.

Tunnel warfare is another ingenious guerrilla warfare, which only transfers the ground guerrilla to the underground guerrilla attack and launches the battle against the Japanese army underground.

At the same time, Xia Yuan also focused on how to deal with the enemy's discovery of tunnels.

He said: "We need to understand that the tunnels were dug and built by whom!" The tunnel is dug by our own hands, each fork in the road, where it leads, we all know very well, the Japanese devils enter the tunnel, it is like entering the labyrinth, they can clearly distinguish where the tunnel here leads to, and the tunnel over there leads there. No, they don't know it at all, once they enter the tunnel, it will follow our encirclement, and we can go around behind the devil to sneak attack anytime and anywhere. ”

"Don't think that the means are despicable, when the devil killed the people, why didn't he think that it was a group of unarmed people, and there were many old people!"

"So we not only sneak attack, but also set traps in the tunnels, but be careful that the tunnels used for combat must be separated from the tunnels where we are hiding!"

"And the most important point is that the vent of the tunnel must be set up, and the lack of oxygen in the tunnel will kill people, so when digging the tunnel, you must find some hidden tunnels to open a few openings to let the air in the tunnel circulate."

"Okay, that's all for the basic battle plan of the tunnel war."

Cracking sound!

The entire conference room burst into applause.
