Guerrilla warfare has a long history in China. In the Battle of Wu and Chu in 512 BC, there were guerrilla-type combat operations. It is said that "The Book of Holding Qi" written by Huangdi Fenghou said: "The shape of the guerrilla army is sometimes moving and sometimes quiet.

Avoid real attacks

"Virtuous, seeing the win and resisting the prosperity, forming a knot and moving towards the ground, cutting off the four meridians," gave a vivid description of the combat operations of the guerrilla troops. The first person recorded in history books to use guerrilla warfare tactics in detail was the Chu-Han Dynasty.

Peng Yue, the general of the Han Dynasty.

In the revolutionary war led by the Communist Party of China, guerrilla warfare played a very important role. During the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the Red Army persisted in guerrilla warfare based on the characteristics of the enemy's strength and weakness and relied on the base areas to preserve and develop itself. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army went deep into

Carry out guerrilla warfare on a large scale and for a long time behind enemy lines.

Even so, the current guerrilla tactics of the Second Route Army are more complete, flexible, and diverse than any other army. Of course, this is because Yu Biao, a time-traveling brain, is at work, and the mass base of the Second Route Army is also greater than that of other anti-Japanese forces.

The armed forces must be strong, political propaganda and economic benefits have enabled the Second Route Army to completely abandon the traditional bad habits of recruiting young men and forcibly recruiting soldiers.

The base area is already very large, with more than 20 villages and a total population of 15,000 to 15,000 people. Wu Xinmin, Cao Guoshi and others just casually walked around from Dushui Town to the edge of the base area, and they were already so surprised that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.

.

"How many people do you have guns?" Cao Guoshi couldn't help but wonder in his heart. Along the way, he saw people carrying guns everywhere, men, women, and old people.

"Are they regular troops?" Sun Zhicheng, the accompanying staff officer, explained: "There are now more than a thousand, including those carrying guns, that's a lot. Now they are basically one for each family, and the total is nearly one thousand and five.

Six hundred, and it’s still increasing.”

Wu Xinmin clicked his tongue and asked strangely: "Where did you get so many weapons? Do you have an arsenal or did they transport them from outside?"

"There is one arsenal, but now we can only make the unique gun, and we can't make other guns," Sun Zhicheng said: "The main thing is to capture more, to fight bandits, puppets, maintenance groups, and Japanese. Although I

I came relatively late, but I still know the previous battles of the army. I did a rough calculation and found that more than a thousand puppet troops have been eliminated. As for the Japanese, there were almost seven or eight hundred.

Since modern times, China has been experiencing frequent wars and unrest, and the demand for firearms has been so great that private gunsmiths have emerged in many places. They use simple equipment to make firearms manually or semi-manually.

, the most popular one is a type called "Two Pout Guns"

These homemade pistols have different shapes, but they generally adopt a two-stage hinge structure similar to that of a shotgun. Bullets are loaded directly from the end of the opened chamber. After firing, the grip must be pushed downward to eject the shell.

Therefore, it is called the "Two Pout Guns", and it is also called the "One Pout Gun" or the "Single Pout Gun".

The barrels of these guns are all made by themselves, many of them are made of iron bars, and the calibers are also various. Although most of them have no rifling, the gun is still very powerful at close range due to the use of rifle bullets. Most of these guns are

They all use an exposed hammer to fire, and the hammer is usually cocked before shooting.

, the shape of the protruding hammer end is similar to a horn, so in many places in the north, this kind of homemade pistol is also called "one-horned cow". These guns are extremely crude and rough from design to manufacturing, and have very low requirements for manufacturing conditions.

, which makes it widely popular in China's special environment.

Since the arsenal has newly purchased two small machine tools smuggled from Pingxi and Tianjin, it has become very easy to produce this simple weapon. If the materials are sufficient, it is easy to produce ten weapons per day.

"To be honest, your tunnels are still eye-opening. The mines are eye-opening," Gao Peng lamented, "and once the tunnels are completed, even a single stick will be enough for the Japanese to drink."

"This is just an initial project. After the village tunnels are completed, they will be expanded into the wild. The commander's idea is to build an underground Great Wall and build the base into a tunnel with tunnels outside the mountain, mines as a chain, caves in the mountain, and warehouses as points for hunting, hiding, and production. , a large base based on training, if the Japanese want to raid and attack, our strong walls and clear fields will be able to drive them away,"

"This, such a grand idea, is really... grand," Wu Xinmin grinned, not knowing how to describe it.

"True, mines are mainly for defense. It is very necessary to occupy territory for offense. The more troops there are, the more supplies are needed. If we don't expand outward, survival will be a problem." Sun Zhicheng looked into the distance with some sadness, "No contact. You can’t understand it. When I first came here, my vision was limited to war. Gradually, I realized that war requires comprehensive consideration. Otherwise, it will only be a temporary prosperity, but it will not last for a long time."

"You are really full of talents here. The strategy of slow advance and rapid attack is very good, as well as the guerrilla tactics manual, raid warfare, mine warfare, sparrow warfare, ambush warfare, tunnel warfare, siege warfare and other flexible tactics. , it opened our eyes,” Wu Xinmin praised: “I have been reading and thinking about it every day these days, and I have benefited a lot.”

"Things are dead, they have to be used well," Sun Zhicheng said with a faint smile, "Our army has slowly formed a virtuous cycle, from new recruits to veterans, and slowly grows. This is a smooth process, although you You have all fought in battles, and you are enthusiastic and brave, but you are not familiar with our tactics. The commander is mainly worried that you are new here and will not cooperate well with each other during the battle."

"I understand. Although Commander Yu comes from a rough background, he is very considerate and takes good care of us," Wu Xinmin nodded.

"Haha, you have had little contact with the commander. As time goes by, you will know what it means to have a good reputation. People should not be judged by their appearance. The commander is still a very deep person. The more you come into contact with him, the more you will admire him."

"Wolf smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north, the dragon curls up, the horse neighs, the sword energy is like frost, the heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River, in twenty years, who can resist, the hatred is crazy, the sword is directed at it, how many brothers and feet are loyal souls Burying one's bones in a foreign land, why would one die to serve one's country? I can't bear to sigh, and even more speechless, with blood and tears in my eyes..." A group of soldiers roared a song and passed by not far away. They were all in high spirits, and all the Japanese-style equipment was even more impressive. mighty.

"With the three battalions, the current base area can only support these troops to fight," Sun Zhicheng waved his hand to greet the officers among the soldiers. "The sooner you start integrating, the sooner you will form combat effectiveness. The commander said that the War of Resistance Against Japan is the most important battle in history. It is a war that has never been difficult and difficult. This war is related to the life and death of the entire nation. If anyone wants to rely on the army to promote himself, he is sabotaging the war of resistance and betraying the country. According to my opinion, glory and wealth are just a passing smoke. Can we win the war of resistance against Japan? I am satisfied with the title of martyr. Of course, it would be even better if I get the title of hero and be included in a book."

"Yes," Wu Xinmin breathed a sigh of relief, "Most of our troops are young people from the Northeast. They have suffered repeated defeats all the way from north to south. If we had learned a few tricks from Commander Yu, it would be really different. You guys Say it or not,"

"It's not too late to learn now. I think we should go back quickly and follow Commander Yu's method to quickly form combat effectiveness. The longer the time is delayed, the more people will think that we are selfish," Cao Guoshi said with a smile: "I didn't hear what Staff Officer Sun said. , is that sabotaging the war of resistance and betraying the country?"

"I'm sorry, I'm just paraphrasing Commander Yu's words. Don't get me wrong. The courage and perseverance of our seniors who fought from north to south are beyond the reach of this boy," Sun Zhicheng explained quickly.

"No misunderstanding, Commander Yu is right, and you can paraphrase it well," Gao Peng pointed to the front, "Let's talk to the old man, and then go back to organize the troops, and the rest of us will learn from Commander Yu. "

On the road ahead, there is an old man digging a ditch. The old man's hair is half bald and half white, and he is digging with all his strength. Next to it should be his family's land, a narrow and long strip of land, only five in total. The ridges were wide, and he dug twelve large trenches in a row along the road edge, almost all of which were at the expense of his own wheat. His trenches were dug deep and leveled, and high earth walls were built around the edges. Like the crenellations of the city wall, he was jumping into the twelfth ditch, bending over, throwing out black and wet clods of soil, and his whole body was sweating.

"Old man, this land has been dug piece by piece. Don't you want to eat wheat?" Gao Peng walked up and asked with a smile.

The old man straightened up and took a few breaths. Looking at these men in plain clothes, he was not afraid. He held on to the handle of the shovel and said slowly: "The Japanese have invaded our land and dug trenches to block the way." For the sake of a few ridges of wheat, do they have to open roads across mountains and build bridges across rivers to sincerely welcome little Japan?"

"Official matters are nothing more than water and soil, so let's forget about it for the sake of convenience," Cao Guoshi chuckled and interjected from the side.

The old man snorted, glanced at Cao Guoshi, bent down and continued shoveling, as if speaking to the deeply dug earth, "It really makes those young people say, those who are not willing to sacrifice anything, these days The only way to become a traitor is to become a traitor. Once he becomes a traitor, he will betray everything, even his conscience. If he is short-sighted and only thinks about fooling others, in the end he will be the one who gets tricked."

"Yes, I just said it casually, and I became a traitor," Cao Guoshi said in a low voice with a wry smile.

Wu Xinmin and others shook their heads, smiled happily and turned away.
