Chapter 118 Rhetorical Questions
"Deputy detachment leader, why do we want to find the guerrillas in Zhujiacun?" Cui Liangfang asked after thinking for a long time.
Zhang Yunfei was stunned by his words and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Many things are just afraid of thinking. Sometimes you do something with a clear purpose, but when the matter comes to you, you only come back to your senses after thinking about it carefully, hey, why should I do this? This is meaningless.
They left Dadigou in Pingchuan and came here with the clear purpose of looking for the guerrillas. However, thinking about it carefully, it seems to be pure nonsense. What is the point of finding them? Can they provide themselves with supplies?
Sister Jia is very strict in controlling daily necessities. She can tell you about adding a handful of rice to every meal. The Eighth Route Army's logistics managers all have this problem. No matter how generous a person is if he takes control of the logistics department, he is bound to get it.
The problem of being stingy.
However, this time they went out to fight (run away), Sister Jia was rare and generous, and brought them enough supplies. Now they really don't need any supplies, they just really need daily necessities. The poor guerrillas
They are also powerless. If they had everything, they would not be guerrillas.
As for increasing their combat effectiveness, there is no hope. Even the district team level has little combat effectiveness in Zhang Yunfei's opinion, and now he has more than a dozen recruits who have been on the battlefield for a while.
Once the order is clear, the combat effectiveness will naturally increase a lot. I really don't care about the combat effectiveness of a guerrilla group that has not even reached the level of a district team.
Zhang Yunfei thought carefully and issued an order: withdraw!
I don’t know why I thought of looking for the Zhujiacun guerrillas. Even if I found them, would they trust me and others? In such a dangerous place, who can survive and persist in the struggle is not full of vigilance.
These days, it is normal for the guerrillas to go to the Eighth Route Army, but it is abnormal for the Eighth Route Army to go to the guerrillas. As long as a commander with some brains would trust him and others.
In later dramas, when the guerrillas and militia saw the Eighth Route Army, they shouted enthusiastically and excitedly: Comrades, we have finally waited for you. In reality, it is basically impossible.
You can refer to the real process of laying an iron egg and being knocked over by Sister Jia.
Identity authentication between two guerrillas or Eighth Route Army units that do not belong to each other and do not know each other is very cumbersome and troublesome. It would be foolish to believe that the other party is one of your own as soon as you meet.
As we all know, there are a large number of Japanese plainclothes teams and advance teams pretending to be the Eighth Route Army, guerrillas, or Kuomintang troops.
In this era, there are no mobile phones, let alone QR code authentication, and radio stations are generally only available at the brigade level, so unless everyone knows each other, in most cases it is impossible to prove their identity.
Anyway, if an Eighth Route Army troop of unknown origin appears in front of Zhang Yunfei, he will not completely believe it. It is best to stay away from the defensive point.
For a village-level guerrilla group, it is difficult to contact the higher-level organization. How can they confirm their identity? Of course, in this era, there are also things like letters of introduction and certificates, but to be honest, these things are too easy to fake, and there may be some in the base area.
You can believe it, but if you go deep into enemy-occupied territory, you really can’t take it seriously.
Don't think it's a simple matter for Sister Jia to easily confirm their identity. Sister Jia looks like a village woman, but it's easy to list her title and division of labor in a few hundred words.
To sum it up simply, she is Pingsan District Secretary, Pingchuan Acting Secretary, and Qingling Central County Committee Member. If you insist on giving her a rank, she will be at the brigade level.
Of course, for the underground party in enemy-occupied areas, levels are meaningless. Committees at any level are the same. Anyway, they only lead a few people. What she can actually control are a few mountainous fortress villages in the southwest of Pingchuan.
That's all. The only advantage of having a high level is that you can contact your superiors smoothly. This is why Sister Jia was able to confirm the identity of Zhang Yunfei's unit.
As for the most grassroots organization like Zhujia Village, where to go to confirm, even if Zhang Yunfei carries a letter of introduction stamped with the official seal of Sister Jia, it will be in vain.
This is also the reason why Zhang Yunfei ran in the direction of Xincheng. In this era, the flow of information is too backward, and the fastest way to confirm is acquaintance certification. Of course, this is mainly because the time he stayed in Pingchuan was too short.
As time goes by and people become familiar with each other, there won't be such trouble. In short, this is an era of face-grabbing.
It was not a pure mistake for them to come here. Since even a small guerrilla group could survive in this place, the power of the Japanese and puppet troops was naturally relatively weak, so it was no problem that their troops could settle down.
Their unit chose to station itself in a small mountain valley. The entire surrounding area of New City is covered with mountains. The so-called plains in New Taipei are actually just basin plains between large mountains.
Therefore, although it is a plain area, small hills like this are still very common. It is still very cold on winter nights. Everyone can only set up a bonfire, cut some thatch and lay it on the ground. In order to keep warm as much as possible, they gather around the fire.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yunfei's face turned a little green. If it was lit, everyone would have to pass the exam. Looking at the soldiers lying on the hay next to the fire, they unknowingly thought they were going to be cremated collectively.
Heating is a big problem for soldiers in winter. When Zhang Yunfei was training with the special committee, he heard veteran soldiers say that scalds and burns were a big problem for soldiers in winter, so Zhang Yunfei arranged for three people to be on night watch. If one person was on night watch, it would be a big problem.
If you take a nap or stay idle, someone might set you on fire.
When people are extremely tired, their perception will be severely reduced, and sometimes they will put their feet into the fire without even realizing it. Can you avoid this kind of non-combat attrition? You should try your best to avoid it.
The sky is filled with stars, the night is dark, and there is darkness beyond the light of the fire. Zhang Yunfei rests his head on his hands and stares at the stars in trance. Time flies so fast that it is almost the New Year.
Many soldiers didn't understand that they and others fled in despair before the enemy even launched their revenge. This was too cowardly. Fortunately, he led them through life and death and won several battles, so his prestige was completely established.
Get up, or let them sleep in the open air like this, or the pot will explode. Now even the thorn in the Cui family doesn't dare to attack him. Thinking about it, I really feel a sense of loneliness in the cold at high places.
Zhang Yunfei immediately couldn't help but laugh. He was just a deputy detachment captain, and it was the smallest battalion-level detachment. In layman's terms, at most he was only a deputy battalion commander. How could he be so high-ranking?
This evacuation was not entirely because he was afraid that the enemy's revenge would bring casualties to his troops. The little devil was just like that. He liked to vent his anger on the people when he suffered a loss. He couldn't find himself at all and couldn't catch him when he found him.
