Chapter 118: The Great War is Coming
I feel that there is too much equipment, we do not have the ability to supply a large number of raw materials, and the equipment is idle and wasted. If you have the ability to produce, but you can't supply what you need, it will cause resentment from others. After thinking about it, it was the Eighth Route Army that really took root here, and the other armies were all passers-by, and they never felt sorry for the Eighth Route Army. I gave more things to the national government, but I never made myself comfortable, and people never made me comfortable. I don't know what the scale of the arsenal in Huangya Cave was back then, and it can provide a little bit of strength, isn't it?
When I found the chief of staff and told me about the matter, they immediately agreed. I wondered if the chief of staff had planned to say this! Unanimity of opinion is a good thing, and let the chief of staff handle the matter. With 30 scouts and two liaison officers, he went all the way from Licheng to Shexian to actually inspect the terrain. On the one hand, discuss where and what kind of ambush can be; where harassment can take place, what kind of harassment, whether it is shelling or long-range shooting, etc.; What is a good place to lay mines, what type of mines are suitable for planting, and the purpose is to delay the enemy, or to kill and injure the enemy, or both.
The garrison of Shexian County is Sun Dianying's troops, and it is said that they will only collapse at the touch of a button, and he will not wait to see them. We have a spy liaison, and no one embarrasses us, have a meal, and look at the terrain and key situation of the county. How many troops can hold Shexian? How to attack and so on.
On the way back, the question was, if you were a Japanese commander. how many troops should be sent to attack, what should be noted on the march, where to expect to encounter resistance; how many offensive forces can be carried out, where to set up artillery positions; how to carry out a continuous offensive when the attack is frustrated, how to give better play to the advantages of artillery, and how to cooperate with aircraft; If you can't storm it, there's no other way? The gossip discussion, coupled with their own reminders and inspirations, everyone discussed fiercely, and began to talk on paper if they didn't agree, and if it didn't work, try to dance and! I don't care, there are many ways to discuss, and I don't have a pre-stipulation, right?
The little grandfather and the spy major had the most heated discussion, and the discussion was bruised and swollen. In this regard, the little grandfather is stronger than the spy. I didn't be a referee, and when I saw that no one was fighting, the two of them began to pity each other hypocritically, and played the trick of complimenting first and then denying. How can you turn off the fire? You said you could lie in an ambush, climb up and throw a few grenades yourself, try the shooting distance, and see if the guns brought by ordinary soldiers are enough, thinking that they are all sharpshooters like you!
What's wrong with the sharpshooter, give you a rifle that floats after 50 meters of bullets, give it a try, the sharpshooter is also bullshit. Give your guns to the veterans of the Sichuan Army and the Eighth Route Army, hum, they are all sharpshooters! Depending on the level of discussion between the two of you, you won't survive for three days on the battlefield! In the second half of the way, I started teaching on the spot.
It is only more than 40 miles from Shexian to Dongyang Pass, the enemy will not feel tired, and the surroundings are like dangerous places, the enemy will be very careful, there is no place for surprise, and there is no room for ambush by large troops, it is not a good place to ambush. It is a good place for cold guns and cold artillery harassment, and the real and false mines are planted on the road, which can seriously delay the enemy's advance. Especially in front of Dongyang Pass, the territory is narrow, and there are not too many troops. I went to see the legendary Taihang Wuzhi Mountain, and the local villagers talked about it all over the place, and there was indeed a similarity in the shape of the mountain.
When I arrived at the Xiangtangpu, I shut up. What is created out of nothing, and what is possible in impossible places! I'm still playing with a fart! I don't know if I hate myself or what. He ordered more than 30 people: "Go back, each person writes a 2,000-word inspection record, and submits it before dinner; Don't think that my meal money in Shexian County is wasted! If you can't do it, you will do 2,000 push-ups! ”
The team was immediately in mourning, 2,000 push-ups were going to kill people! Seeing the two liaison officers with a look of indifference, with a high level of education? If you are not in a good mood, how can you be proud: "You two have 5,000 words each, and if you can't finish it, you will do 5,000 push-ups!" If you don't accept it, I'll help him practice hand-to-hand combat, if he can get out of bed in ten days, I'll lose! ”
With 2 dejected and 30 high-spirited into Dongyang Pass.
When I returned to the station, I saw the chief of staff and talked about my problems. I didn't expect people to care about my feelings at all, and they were very interested in this teaching method! Ask to attend the wrap-up session in person.
If it's written well or not, everyone writes it. Each person has three minutes to express their core content, and the chief of staff is invited to comment. This trip was not in vain, I feel that everyone has improved a lot, and many ideas are beyond your expectations. The chief of staff's comments are also very high, especially thinking that the level of the little grandfather can lead a battalion, and the special major is a good staff officer; And they were encouraged to join the ranks of the chief of staff, promising one to be a company commander and the other to be a staff officer. I received everyone's manuscripts for reference, and finally ended with "I finally feel shallow on paper, and I never know that I have to do it". After the disbandment, the little grandfather squeezed his eyebrows and said, "My grandson really doesn't know people!" "There are still sneers next to you, you dog spy, just laugh secretly, and dare to speak out! As soon as the foot passed, the people borrowed their strength and left, laughing louder. The hula next to it seemed to hide from the plague and scattered.
From village to village, I was basically relieved to see that the relationship between the soldiers and the villagers had become harmonious. The cold babies are all cold-faced and hot-hearted, and there are candy sharp weapons, the children are not afraid, and the worries of adults are gone. He turned around and instructed the chief of staff to strictly enforce military discipline and severely deal with those who dared to harm the common people.
This year's Spring Festival is too early, it seems that God specially arranged for everyone to have a happy festival and face the hardships of war. The chief of staff asked people to buy as many pigs and sheep as possible in the vicinity with a large amount of money, some of which were used for salted meat storage, some of which were sent to the Sichuan army and laborers, and some of which were entertained with the villagers. The villagers in the distance heard that some people were buying at a high price, and there was an endless stream of pigs and sheep being sent, and the chief of staff did not refuse to come. There was really no place to store it, so the chief of staff handed over the salted meat to an authentic village for safekeeping, and kept 100 and 50.
Later, he took the scouts for mountain special operations training, and the mountains of Taihang Mountain are completely different from the hills of Yongshou. There are thousands of cliffs, ravines and ravines, just the cliff rappelling and climbing training is not a matter of a while, at most let them do not be strangers; Identification of mountain direction, route selection, rapid mountain travel methods, selection and prevention of camping; Mountain group coordination, mountain infiltration methods, mountain air defense techniques, etc. If you want to survive the war, every bit of skill is not a simple matter. There are many methods, and the choice is the problem; Therefore, there is no one-size-fits-all prescription, and the right or wrong choice is that you instantly decide your own fate.
Although the transportation of materials was rapid, the last batch arrived in Licheng County. The chief of staff reported that the 1st and 4th Brigades of the 18th Division had set out from Handan and Wu'an to attack Shexian; It will take 10 days for all the materials to be hidden, and the chief of staff is ready to go to Shexian to help defend the city. He denied it and told the chief of staff directly: "Sun Dianying's troops are not credible and cannot cooperate with them, so we can find another way to delay the Japanese advance on the road from Shexian to Dongyang Pass." The Sichuan army will also block the enemy at the pass, and even if Licheng County falls, the enemy can still be delayed on the way from Licheng County to Baiyundong. ”
The chief of staff looked at the map, nodded and said, "Since Sun Dianying can't cooperate, he has to do this." ”
"I concentrated 40 scouts and 20 sappers for a delayed operation, and the chief of staff took everyone and rented cattle from the villagers to transport them at full capacity. The chief of staff asked the Sichuan army to evacuate all the people in Xiangtangpu to the pass. ”
On 14 February, the chief of staff arranged for a medical vehicle to be sent to the Sichuan Army as a rear hospital. He carried 2 truckloads of mines and explosives, a total of 63 people, and went out of the vicinity of Shexian County. When they arrived at Linghou and Wuzhi Mountain, Li Da led 19 people and his grandfather to arrange a blocking position along the north side of the highway, and he took 20 people and Major Miao to arrange the position along the south side of the highway one by one. Each of the three groups brought a small radio station and detonated or ambushed according to their own orders.
