498 Crazy Koreans are scared of the development of the Mountain Company
How to torment the little devils in all kinds of ways under the noses of the Japanese and puppet troops and cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in the anti-Japanese war? This is the great wisdom accumulated over time by the simple but unyielding Chinese farmers who are in the difficult environment behind enemy lines.<
/p>
The old village chief's move of letting the Japanese attack dogs and directly sending out anti-Japanese food grains under the guise of an Eighth Route Army attack is by no means an exception.
It can be said to be just a microcosm.
In the vast rural areas behind enemy lines, the common people used this method to silently carry out an arduous and outstanding struggle against the Japanese invaders.
……
……
On the other hand, since the Battle of Southern Shanxi broke out on the 7th.
The Japanese army pressed forward and launched a fierce attack on the Zhongtiao Mountain area from three directions: east, north, and west.
As for the national army, many brave and patriotic officers and soldiers resisted tenaciously, but despite the strength of the enemy and the weakness of the enemy, they were still retreating steadily.
Summer has entered, and the fierce battle in the Zhongtiao Mountain area is full of blood, but it is full of desolation.
By the 11th, various positions on the west side of Zhongtiao Mountain were broken through by the Japanese army one after another.
On the 12th, the Japanese army continuously broke through the national army's defensive positions and quickly occupied and controlled various ferries on the north bank of the Yellow River.
On the 13th, the defense area on the north side of Zhongtiao Mountain was basically occupied.
The war developed rapidly, and the Japanese offensive became more fierce. In less than half a month, the overall defense carefully deployed by the Chinese army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area was already riddled with holes.
Those who crossed the Yellow River to Queen Cang evacuated, and Queen Cang evacuated; those who had no time to retreat because many crossings of the Yellow River were occupied by the Japanese army continued to retreat near the Taiyue Mountains, and those who persisted in resisting guerrillas continued to fight guerrillas.
The terrain of the Zhongtiao Mountains is long and narrow from east to west, but wide from north to south. After basically defeating the frontal Nationalist army positions and forcing the main force of the Nationalist army to retreat, the Japanese army continued to resist stubbornly and persisted in guerrilla warfare against the remaining mountainous areas from the north to south.
The remnants of the national army carried out a back-and-forth sweep like a comb.
Taiyue Mountain is a majestic mountain and is also a famous mountain in the Three Jin Dynasties.
Its appearance is full of peaks and mountains, winding and rolling, towering into the clouds, and as high as the sky.
It borders Taihang in the northeast and Zhongtiao Mountain in the south.
In early June, a certain mountain forest in the Taiyue Mountains had a general appearance similar to that of the entire mountain range. It was quiet everywhere, and even the chirping of birds was rarely heard.
The successive battles broke out in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, and it seemed that even the birds and beasts were frightened and flew away from their homeland.
In the quiet mountain forest, at first glance, it seems that there are only towering green trees. After the summer, shrubs, weeds, etc. have already sprouted green and are lush.
At this moment, in a corner of the mountain forest, if you look closely, you will see a pair of round eyes inside covered with vines and dead branches, and the eyeballs are rolling around.
He moved, and his full appearance was immediately revealed. He was actually a young man wearing a worn-out Eighth Route Army uniform, with vines and green branches all over his body. If he didn't move, he would almost blend in with the surrounding environment.
A low voice came from beside him, "Deputy company commander..."
"Why do you think your words are so unpleasant? Do you have to add a deputy? Why don't you just call the company commander?"
The young-looking guy, but his hair was a bit messy due to not combing it for many days, and his face was stained with dirt, he cursed in a low voice.
"Why, did I lose you by calling the company commander? Tell you, kid, before we came to Zhongtiao Mountain this time, the regiment commander promised me. One year later, looking at the development of our mountain company, if I give the regiment commander
If I pull out a battalion, the regiment commander asks me to be the company commander. If I pull out a regiment, and the regiment leader asks me to be the battalion commander, if we can pull out a brigade, hehe... I tell you, kid, you call me the company commander.
We are not surprised."
But they said that this young man was Han Feng, the former deputy company commander of the third battalion of the Independent Regiment, nicknamed Han Feng, who Kong Jie had sent to fight guerrilla warfare near Zhongtiao Mountain before the Battle of Southern Shanxi broke out.
Introduced before:
Han Feng, deputy commander of the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment, joined the army at the end of 1937 (having never experienced the Long March). He is 26 years old this year. His ancestors were hunters. He learned to hunt since he was a child. The first time he went to the battlefield, he killed three Japanese with his own hands.<
/p>
At the beginning of 1938, Han Feng's company encountered Japanese troops and suffered heavy casualties. Only three people in his third squad died. After the battle, Han Feng was promoted to the squad leader of the third squad.
In the summer of 1938, Han Feng, who was just a squad leader, abducted the company headquarters' cooking team, disguised himself as a chef and sneaked into Ankang Town. He poisoned and killed dozens of Japanese officers who were holding a banquet in a restaurant, and robbed the company from the county town.
Scammed out three carriages of food.
All the soldiers in the company were hungry for a day. After Han Feng led the team back, he was severely scolded by the company commander and was promoted to deputy platoon leader the next day.
In early 1939, he was promoted to platoon leader. During an ambush battle, Han Feng led a platoon of soldiers to defeat a company of the North China Security Army, and led three soldiers to pursue nearly 100 puppet troops for five or six miles.
Road, and then captured more than 30 people and returned. They became famous in one battle and were nicknamed Crazy Han.
He will perform meritorious service in every battle and will be promoted to deputy company commander in 1940.
It turned out that as early as a month before the Battle of Southern Shanxi broke out, a company each from the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment, led by three company commanders Han Feng, Zhang Min, and Du Zhongcheng, formed a team of 400 soldiers.
The remaining people rushed to the vicinity of Zhongtiao Mountain.
It’s just that the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain hadn’t started yet.
After all, the Zhongtiao Mountain area is the territory of the national army. Kong Jie and other three company commanders considered that entering hastily would cause unnecessary friction, so they have been active near the Taiyue Mountain area.
With the ample rations they took away from the Logistics Department when setting off, and the good reputation of the Eighth Route Army, the local people were willing to help, and Han Feng and his party quickly established a firm foothold.
Before the Battle of Southern Shanxi broke out, Han Feng and his party had been familiar with all aspects of the situation in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.
From the troops stationed by all parties, the complicated relationship between each other, to the distribution of villages, the topography of the Zhongtiao Mountain area, etc.
During this period, the soldiers of the Mountain Company quickly adapted to the environment and helped nearby people to suppress bandits. On the one hand, they quickly gained the trust of the local people, and on the other hand, the food and materials seized from the bandits also provided the soldiers of the Mountain Company with
provides a certain guarantee for survival.

In addition, several mountain companies would often ambush some Japanese and puppet troops entering the vicinity of Zhongtiao Mountain.
It soon became an Eighth Route Army guerrilla force operating near the Taiyue Mountain area.
Of course, considering the teams of three companies, it would be difficult to feed more than 400 people together. According to the wishes of the three company commanders Han Feng, Zhang Min, and Du Zhongcheng, the mountain company was divided into platoons, with the platoons as combat units, dispersed
When carrying out guerrilla operations, it is necessary to conduct concentrated operations and then regroup.
Just like that, time passed quickly, and the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain soon broke out.
The defeat of the national army was beyond the imagination of Han Feng and others.
With many crossings on the north bank of the Yellow River occupied by the Japanese army, the defeated national army began to break out near the Taiyue Mountains and Luliang Mountains.
Han Feng and his party were officially affected and enveloped by the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain.
Of course, this was originally the purpose of Kong Jie and his party coming to Zhongtiao Mountain. The three company commanders were naturally fearless and had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
The Nationalist troops who retreated from the main battle area of Zhongtiao Mountain to the vicinity of the Taiyue Mountain Area could not leave by crossing the Yellow River south, so they stayed near the Taiyue Mountain Area. They used the terrain to deal with the Japanese army and also learned the tactics of the Eighth Route Army.
Guerrilla warfare began.
In the following time, the mountain company led by Han Feng and others, and the national army troops who stayed in the mountainous area to conduct guerrilla operations with the Japanese army, did not formally meet, but they knew each other's existence from a distance, so the two sides worked together to deal with the Japanese.
.
Occasionally, there will be tacit understanding of joint operations.
For example, if the Chinese army ambushes the Japanese army, the Japanese troops who escape will be ambushed by the mountain company led by Han Feng and others.
Han Feng and others also led troops to support certain national army units that were besieged by the Japanese army.
But from the beginning to the end, Han Feng has always advocated avoiding direct encounters with the national army.
Even if he indirectly united with the national army to destroy the small Japanese army and quickly seized the weapons, Han Feng would immediately order an evacuation.
Every time we leave after the fight, I can help or indirectly cooperate with each other, but we just don’t meet.
For this reason, Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng were a little puzzled.
"Old Han, you also said before coming here that according to our plan this time, we will fight guerrilla warfare in the Zhongtiao Mountain area. If circumstances permit, we can also fight jointly with the national army troops who stay in the mountainous area to fight guerrilla warfare.
But why do you always seem to be so jealous of the national army and never meet them?"
Zhang Min raised his doubts. Of course, although he did not understand, the three mountain companies had always advanced and retreated together. Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng still listened to Han Feng's advice and actively avoided contact with the national army.
Du Zhongcheng didn't know much about this and looked at Han Feng as well.
Han Feng explained: "Sometimes teammates who are like pigs are more terrifying than opponents who are like gods.
We can join forces with some guerrilla forces of the national army, but before that, I need to allow time to inspect them."
"What do you mean?"
"I have to make sure that they are reliable comrades-in-arms, and I have to ensure that after jointly fighting with them, I will not be dragged to death by them."
At this moment, Han Feng's eyes were as cunning as an old wolf.
Wolves do not choose partners at will.
"How to investigate specifically?" Du Zhongcheng asked.
Han Feng said: "It's very simple. Observe them from a distance, see how they conduct guerrilla warfare, see how they contact the people, and see what kind of team they are."
"If this is really a team fighting Japanese invaders, I would never mind joining forces with them."
"I'm afraid that if we cooperate rashly, we are busy fighting the Japanese in the front, but we have to guard against being stabbed by our own people in the back."
After Han Feng explained what he said, Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng also expressed their understanding. The three of them made up their minds to inspect several nearby national guerrilla units first.
Soon, Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng realized how prescient Han Feng was.
Not long after, a national army unit, which was still under observation by Han Feng and his men, consisted of about two battalions. It was clearly a guerrilla operation, and it took the initiative to launch an attack on a unit that the Japanese army had swept over.
Then, Han Feng and the other three who sent scouts to secretly investigate the news were confused.
Good guy, how can this be guerrilla warfare?
A blind attack only loses the advantage of ambush.
These national troops, who were originally engaged in guerrilla warfare, were actually fighting for every inch of territory. Some positions were obviously worthless to hold on to, yet they insisted on shouting an oath to live and die with the positions.
As a result, when we reached the rear, the troops retreated steadily, unable to win and unable to escape.
After being quickly surrounded by the Japanese army, the officers and soldiers of the Kuomintang who swore to live and die with the same position thought they were all heroes, but many of them surrendered one after another.
He even turned around and became a puppet soldier who betrayed his teammates and guided the Japanese to continue their raids.
The subsequent battle became more and more involved. Many nearby national guerrilla troops heard the news and quickly came to support. What was originally a small-scale battle quickly evolved into a large-scale battle.
The fighting continued until the second day, and less than 30% of the various national guerrilla units originally operating in the surrounding areas remained.
"Stupid, they were too stupid to fight this battle. The Japanese army swept over this time, and there were not many troops at the forefront. They were obviously a bait. These national troops were stupid enough to bite the hook themselves. Such a big gap was originally casual.
Then we can break out."
Zhang Min, who wanted to save people but was helpless, couldn't help but cursed.
Du Zhongcheng was also speechless, "Old Han, it seems you are right now. These national troops do not understand what guerrilla warfare is at all. It seems that they regard guerrilla warfare as regular warfare."
"You have a lot of clever ideas, what should we do next?"
Han Feng did not expect that these national troops would engage in guerrilla warfare so fiercely.
Even though I am called Crazy Korean, I dare not be so crazy.
How can this be guerrilla warfare? This is clearly asking for death. As soon as the enemy sweeps over, you will jump out and take the initiative to attack. Are you afraid that the little devil will not know where you are hiding?
With a bitter smile, Han Feng said: "There is nothing we can do now, prepare to save people!
Of course, the premise is to ensure that we can evacuate smoothly.
As for the rescued national soldiers, it depends on their own wishes. If they are willing to leave, we will let them go. If they are willing to join our team, then stay and follow us to fight guerrilla warfare."
"Okay!" Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng responded.
Subsequently, following this idea, Han Feng and others also rescued some National Army troops sporadically. Some of these rescued National Army soldiers expressed that they wanted to find the team, while others were willing to stay and join the mountain company.
In the subsequent contact with these National Army soldiers who joined the mountain company, Han Feng and the other two people realized how outrageous these so-called National Army guerrillas were.
In addition to liking to attack blindly and always fighting in large groups, fighting for every inch of territory and constantly being defeated.
These guys do not have a unified command, and each guerrilla group basically fights independently without any contact.
In addition, these national army guerrillas are not as polite to the people behind enemy lines as the Eighth Route Army.
The guerrillas are hungry and out of food. When they see a village, they ignore it and rob it when they enter the village. They are like bandits.
In the face of the people's angry curses, the national army officers loudly rebuked:
What's wrong with us on the front line with our heads in our waistbands fighting the Japanese and eating some of your food? If you keep talking, no one will care about you when the Japanese come over.
Therefore, whenever national army guerrillas, or guerrillas wearing national army uniforms, appear, they often do not receive active support from the people.
Because of this, Han Feng and others even had to do ideological work for some national officers and soldiers who joined the mountain company, so that they could completely transform into the role of the Eighth Route Army and correctly understand how to conduct guerrilla warfare and how to deal with the conflict with the people.
relationship between.
Time passes so quickly.
When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.
The sixteen-character guerrilla warfare policy was used vividly by Han Feng and his party. Faced with the Japanese army's back and forth sweeps again and again, the mountain company was always able to cleverly jump over the enemy's encirclement, survive in the cracks, and constantly harass.
The enemy, and absorbed some remnants of the national army guerrillas along the way, gradually grew...
