A squadron of about 130 Japanese troops was wiped out by them, which was a great victory, and our army did not suffer any casualties, which is very rare in the entire history of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the most important thing is not the casualties, but the only two people who acted.

When the news reached the district, District Chief Zhao and Company Commander Cui were shocked and speechless, and they didn't say anything for a long time with the report on the results.

It wasn't until District Chief Zhao took his eyes off the battle result report that he put down the battle result report and asked, "Did the village chief of Xujia Village ask you to send it?" ”

The soldier who delivered the letter said, "It's Village Chief Xu." ”

Company Commander Cui smoked a cigarette and sighed: "I really don't know if I should be happy or sad to see this battle result letter." ”

District Chief Zhao sat on the stool and said: "We can't define whether it is happy or sad, we should take a long-term view, this time the people of Niujia Village were all slaughtered by the Japanese devils, while we are sad, we should remember the crimes committed by the Japanese devils in China, Xujiacun and Gaojiacun fought beautifully this time, the weapons and equipment of a squadron of Japanese devils, the most important thing is that a few mortars were captured, and more than 130 devils were killed at the cost of zero casualties, this result is the only case in the entire base area. ”

He said: "Whether it's happy or sad, you still have to continue to fight devils, remember these pains, use the little devil's things, and beat the little devils fiercely!" ”

Cui Lian Chang said: "Lao Zhao, you should be an instructor, you should really let Lao Li learn from you." ”

District Chief Zhao said: "Lao Li just joined the company, give him some time, no one can quickly adapt to the unfamiliar environment, the instructor should do the ideological work of the soldiers, but the instructor is also thoughtful, you, as the company commander, pay attention to the soldiers at the same time, but also pay attention to the instructor." ”

Company Commander Cui nodded, and said: "Then I will report the results of this battle to my superiors, the joint operation of Xujia Village and Gaojia Village has given us a good start, and it also proves that it is not impossible to carry out the War of Resistance against Japan in the plains." ”

District Chief Zhao said: "If you want to talk about this Xia Yuan, it's the first time I've heard his name, but I didn't expect to meet him once, and he gave me such a big surprise twice." ”

He looked at the battle result letter in amazement, in which Captain Xu told in detail about Xia Yuan, the main hero of this battle, and his novel combat ideas.

Commander Cui said: "With the strength of two people, a squadron of Japanese devils was dealt with, and another trick was given to the devils. ”

District Chief Zhao clapped his hands and said, "It's not brave and strategic!" He can come up with such an excellent idea of tunnel warfare, one person has captured a platoon's equipment, and now he has taken the three treasures of Gaojiazhuang to destroy a squadron of Japanese devils, this is not only brave and strategic, it is simply talented. ”

Company Commander Cui nodded in agreement: "Let him stay in Niujia Village, it's really a condescension, a person like him should be in a broader world." ”

District Chief Zhao said with a smile: "It's no problem to be a company commander, with a squadron that can fight devils with one person, if you give him a company, it is estimated that you can fight devils." ”

Company Commander Cui smiled: "It's too small, it should be a division of Japanese devils." ”

Although the things in Niujia Village are heartbreaking, but when they are heartbroken, there are such rich results, the joy dispelled the heartache, and the sad faces of the two showed a smile again, their inner toughness is still very great, and as cadres, the inner toughness is not big, and ordinary people really can't do it.

While commanding the battle and facing sacrifices, he heard that villages were destroyed at the gunpoint of the Japanese devils.

If they live in grief all day long, then what happened during the war is enough for them to grieve for a lifetime, and they can only turn their grief into motivation, pick up a gun and fight with the little devils, and kill the little devils, instead of living in grief all day long.

Niujia Village, like other villages, was infuriated by the Japanese devils' three-light policy, but it did not defeat their firm determination to resist Japan in the slightest, but made them more and more heroic.

The actual combat of tunnel warfare is imminent, and the entire central Hebei region is eager to find a guerrilla road suitable for the development of the central Hebei region.

The battle of Niujiacun made Xujiacun and Gaojiazhuang famous, and Xia Yuan himself was the combat hero of this battle, and was also used as an example by his superiors to study in the whole army, but only two of them defeated a squadron of Japanese devils, which sounds so incredible.

At first, some of the fighters felt that this was a fantasy, until the weapons and equipment of the ox cart were pulled to the division, and the mortars were sent to the superiors, and the soldiers knew that all this was true. It is very difficult for a squadron of Japanese devils to be completely annihilated without the cooperation of one or two battalions, and they have not received a combat mission recently, and Niujia Village is far away from the division, and it is impossible for them not to know about such a battle.

Obviously, it was really the anti-Japanese hero Xia Yuan who encountered the Japanese devils on the way back, and saw the tragic situation of all the people in Niujia Village, so they decided to resist, and finally annihilated a squadron of Japanese devils with two people.

Xia Yuan's name quickly rose in the entire anti-Japanese base area, blowing like a gust of wind, and in just a few days, it had reached the level that everyone knew and everyone knew.

This was an unprecedented battle in terms of disparity in strength and firepower, and it was a glorious example of winning more with less. Ordinary soldiers worship the heroic combat effectiveness of the two, in such a turbulent era, in the era of winning by force, soldiers generally like heroes, and the appearance of Xia Yuan has become a hero in their hearts.

And the commander of the district took a fancy to Xia Yuan's talent and combat quality, two people against a squadron, the combat ability is absolutely top-notch, and its command, cleverly used the Japanese devils are not familiar with the situation of Niujia Village, let a squadron of Japanese troops enter Niujia Village in batches, and eliminate them one by one, and replace them with other soldiers, it is estimated that they will be hard steel with Japanese devils, and then die heroically.

The superior leader pointed out: "Xia Yuan's psychological quality, mind and combat effectiveness are top-notch, in the face of a squadron of Japanese troops, he is not chaotic in the face of danger, he responds without panic, he is a qualified soldier, and he is also a qualified commander, commanding the battle, the most taboo is that the soldier did not panic, the commander panicked first, and eventually led to the defeat of the battle." ”

The superiors are still very optimistic about Xia Yuan's ability, two people can deal with a Japanese squadron, although the support of Xujia Village arrived in the end, but if there is no Xia Yuan's correct choice in the early stage, a Japanese squadron will be like a boulder rolling down the mountain, unstoppably swallowing the entire Niujia Village.

Its mind is also not to be ignored, the development of tunnel warfare is very exquisite, the traffic ditch between villages, the protection of the village ditch and the tunnel system that can attack and defend, each layer of design is interlocking, and the role of the tunnel is maximized to a great extent.

This kind of mindset is exactly what is needed in the organization.

And at this time, Xia Yuan is leading the villagers of Gaojiazhuang to dig tunnels vigorously, the progress of the tunnels is very fast, hundreds of people in Gaojiazhuang are united, a week's time, the various tunnels in the village are opened, and at the same time, the windows and doors of some houses are built with clay and turning heads into walls, leaving a gap in bricks as a shooting hole, on the various roads in the village, there are also staggered horizontal walls, there are shooting holes on both sides of the horizontal wall, and there are even hidden tunnel entrances.

When the vigorous digging of the tunnel was carried out, Xia Yuan held a meeting with the old village chief and the old Zhongshu, Chuanbao, and Niu Wa again.

Due to the previous war, Xia Yuan's reputation was completely highlighted, and even attracted the attention of the organization, and the matter spread to Gaojiazhuang, Xia Yuan also became a combat hero that everyone knew and everyone knew, and his right to speak had reached its peak in the village, even surpassing the village chief and Uncle Lao Zhong and Lin Xia's sister-in-law.

However, because Xia Yuan did not have a high utilitarian heart, this great merit was retained, and after receiving this credit, Xia Yuan deduced that he would probably enter the company and not be in the place.

And the plot of the tunnel war has been carried out, and if you don't participate, you don't know if the task can be completed.

After thinking about it again and again, Xia Yuan shirked and said that after the tunnel war was mature, he would enter the company again, and the superiors fully affirmed Xia Yuan's decision.

Because of this, Xia Yuan's identity in Gaojiazhuang has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

The meeting held was represented by Xia Yuan.

The excavation of the tunnels is almost complete, and in more than a week, all the tunnels in the village can be opened, and the current focus is on the buildings on the surface, the dark walls and hidden forts, etc.

"The excavation of the tunnel has been very mature, this is a very valuable experience, we must summarize in the future, learn the war in the war, and we must also learn to dig the tunnel in the tunnel, because our Gaojiazhuang is the first to carry out the tunnel war, our experience is very precious to other villages."

Xia Yuan, as a representative, delivered a speech at the all-people's meeting held in Gaojiazhuang, standing under the big bell in the middle of the village, clenching his fists, and telling the villagers his experience.

"Not only do we have to carry out tunnel warfare work in Gaojiazhuang, but we also have to drive other villages to carry out tunnel warfare, and in the future, we will not only dig tunnels extending in all directions under our own villages, but also dig out tunnels, connect to the village protection ditch, connect to the traffic ditch, and connect with other villages with tunnels, and connect with villages to form a huge tunnel combat system."

His voice was firm and powerful: "We have to dig the tunnel to the Japanese devil's turret unconsciously, the ghost unconsciously dig under the Japanese devil's turret, is it difficult to end the turret, we don't have a cannon, the end turret must be difficult, but if we dig the tunnel directly under the Japanese devil's turret, it will be dark and surprise the attack, the Japanese devils and puppet soldiers in the turret can't dream of it, we are not attacking them from the plain, but from the underground!" ”

The militiamen carrying red tassel guns and the female comrades of the Women's Relief Association were happily talking.

"That's right!"

"That's a good way!"

"Dig tunnels and dig into other villages, so we can cooperate with the militia of other villages!"

"Dig under the devil's cannon, and send troops unknowingly, it is estimated that the devil is still sleeping!"

"Comrade Xia Yuan is really smart, he fights well, and he can think of such a good way to dig tunnels."

Gao Chuanbao, the old village chief, the old Zhongshu, Lin Xia's sister-in-law and others couldn't stop smiling on their faces, saving Xia Yuan was really the most correct path for Gaojiazhuang to take.

In the following period, Xia Yuan led the guerrillas and militia of Gaojiazhuang to visit and investigate several nearby villages, including Nanyu Village, Xiguan Village, Lizhuang, Sunzhuang, etc., at least a few villages, and led a group of backbone members to teach the guerrillas and militia of each village the experience of digging tunnels.

A week later, several villages held a joint meeting, and Gaojiazhuang was the initiator of this meeting, which was different from the district meeting, and the content of the meeting was a series of issues such as tunnel warfare, how to dig tunnels, how to dig tunnels, and how to carry out tunnel warfare.

There is no restriction on the number of people involved, including party branches, militias, guerrillas, women's relief associations, and ordinary people, and the convening of this meeting is crucial, and the plan for the joint tunnels of several villages will determine the direction of future tunnel warfare.

Xia Yuan said: "The tunnel is not only to dig in the village, but also to dig on the plain, the devil builds the turret on the plain, then we dig the tunnel on the plain, we have to dig the tunnel under the devil's turret, under the devil's stronghold, not only that, the tunnel is dug in a village, but also can only be defended by one village, but if we combine the tunnels, take the village as a point, connect all the villages with tunnels and traffic ditches, form a tunnel network between the villages can be quickly reinforced, and the village is swept away, Other villages can quickly support through the tunnels, and the village will no longer fight alone, so as to avoid a situation where the village is bloodied by the Japanese devils, and the guerrillas in the village have no choice! ”

This policy determines the specific direction of the tunnel war in the future, a tunnel network will also be centered on Gaojiazhuang, began to spread around, Gaojiazhuang as a big brother, also took out a wealth of experience in digging tunnels, how to dig hard rocks, how to expand two tunnels, and how to design tunnel mouths, dig traps in tunnels, dig dark tunnels and so on.

Rich experience in digging tunnels can help other villages to avoid a lot of detours, and these problems are also the people of Gaojiazhuang in the tunnels encountered in a variety of situations, after they overcame one by one, leaving a wealth of tunnel experience, it can be said that these experiences are extremely valuable.

More than a week has passed since the end of the conference, and the sweep of the Japanese devils is still going on, and the war will also burn to the sub-district where Gaojiazhuang is located, and Gaojiazhuang has basically reached the end of the tunnel war in advance due to Xia Yuan's early implementation of the tunnel, and has begun to expand to the outside world.

Whether the tunnel dug by Gaojiazhuang can stand the test remains to be tested by practice.
