Pushing open the half-opened door, there were a group of people wearing towels sitting around the room. They were of varying sizes and weights. They all had guns around their waists or were carrying guns on their backs. Most of the guns had old sleeves, and many had gun belts.
Their skins were badly worn, and some of them had several homemade grenades on them, and their faces were all sallow or dark.
Seeing the door being pushed open, pairs of eyes looked over.
"Lao Gao, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
These people all fought against the Japanese in the villages near the division. They all joined the guerrilla team. They would meet during division meetings, and sometimes they would act together. Basically, they were all very familiar with each other.
The old village chief led the two people in, sat in a seat vacated by everyone, and said: "This is not a raid by the Japanese. It took some time, but it is safe enough. If you are attacked by more than a dozen guns,
If the Japanese are caught, it’s a small matter if we die, but it’s a big deal if the gun is gone.”
Mentioning the shortage of weapons and equipment is always a heavy topic. In order to save their only guns, which are also severely worn guns, some comrades protect their guns under their bodies when facing the enemy. They would rather be injured than
Let the gun take a little damage.
After all, if you sacrifice yourself, you will sacrifice. But as long as you have a gun, you can eliminate more enemies, reduce sacrifices, and protect your village, your relatives, and the unarmed people. Guns are the key to this period.
Guerrillas and militiamen value things more important than their own lives.
In their subconscious, they have put guns first and life second.
Basically, they can understand what the old village chief said. What they value is not their own safety, but the safety of their guns.
The old village chief smiled again and said: "Whatever you just said, one by one, it's almost a fight."
The village chief of Fuzhuang said: "It's not just the recent large-scale raids by the Japanese devils. Several villages have suffered. The devils have killed many people. Many villages have been massacred by the devils. The superiors have not organized resistance. When encountering
The Japanese have no choice but to retreat. If this continues, who will still be willing to follow us and who will still be willing to believe in us."
Others also echoed: "Yes, we are not afraid of death, but it is too frustrating to be unable to fight or run. We would rather fight with the little devil."
"Fighting against the Japs and killing one of them is worth it. We don't want to keep hiding like this and watch the Japanese Japs massacre one village after another, but there is nothing we can do about it."
Talking about what happened during this period, everyone's heart is full of resentment. Who says it's not the case? When the devils come, they can only run away with their tail between their legs, and they can't be beaten again and again. From time to time, comrades sacrifice themselves while escaping. This kind of
Sacrifice is undoubtedly the most humiliating thing.
The old village chief and Xia Yuan looked at each other, and it was obvious that they were deeply resentful of the battle plan during this period.
The old village chief didn't know how to comfort them, so he just sighed silently. The order they received was to retreat immediately when encountering Japanese invaders, while ensuring the safety of the people themselves, and not to expose themselves. Such a combat plan really made many soldiers
Full of resentment.
In fact, many people are not afraid of sacrifice. What they are really afraid of is the kind of unclear and confused death. This kind of death is the most uncomfortable and makes them feel most desperate.
Therefore, they were all filled with anger.
They were sitting horizontally or vertically, smoking cigarettes, and all of them had sad faces, or perhaps had resentment on their faces.
Xia Yuan thought for a while and said: "The Anti-Japanese War will not end in a short while. The Japanese army's military strength and combat effectiveness are far superior to ours. If we really have to fight a happy war, the sacrifices it will bring are
It is immeasurable. We should not focus only on the present, but should take a longer-term view. The Anti-Japanese War is a protracted war, and persisting in a protracted battle is the correct path at the moment."
He glanced at the seniors in the room and said: "Seniors, no one wants to die in vain, everyone wants to be beaten happily, but everyone has to think about it, just rely on a few of us.
Guns, how can we fight with Japanese cannons and armored vehicles? If everyone is sacrificed, then who will protect the people and who will protect the village. Seniors, retreat is only temporary. We are called to avoid its edge and wait for our wings to mature.
After a while, it’s time for us to fight back!”
Xia Yuan's words caused the entire room to fall into silence. They were not trying to make a fool of themselves, but they just thought that such a combat plan was really frustrating. Moreover, they did not understand the significance of such a combat plan. Their task was to obey orders, so in their hearts
Although I have resentment, I still insist on obeying the orders issued by the organization, but I have never really thought about why the organization issued such orders.
However, Xia Yuan's words directly awakened them. They had all been away for half their lives, so they naturally had ideological consciousness. When Xia Yuan said this, they understood.
What the organization wants is not this kind of meaningless sacrifice. The sacrifice must be valuable and meaningful.
They are retreating now to preserve themselves and their strength, and to prepare for a protracted war of resistance.
The old village chief became more and more satisfied with Xia Yuan and stood up and said: "What Comrade Xia Yuan said makes sense. The Japanese devils' fighting power is much higher than ours. They went to fight the Japanese devils even though they knew they were no match for them.
What is the difference between that and committing suicide? When you are all dead, who will stop the little devil, let your wives and children do it? We can only preserve our strength and persist in the struggle. As long as one of us is still there, the struggle will not be over!"
The old village chief looked at everyone's faces and said: "Guerrilla warfare in the plains is very difficult, but it is not impossible. We came up with a good idea to defeat the Japs while preserving ourselves!"
When other people heard this, they all asked what ideas they had thought of.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The old village chief smiled and said: "Dig a tunnel!"
Everyone looked at each other, and the village chief of Sunzhuang said: "Lao Gao, everyone has already thought about the method of digging a tunnel, but it won't work at all. If the Japanese devils find the entrance to the cellar, the people inside will not be able to escape. It will be like catching a turtle in a jar.
You can catch it accurately every time you catch it.”
"Hey, that's wrong, it's a tunnel, not a cellar." The old village chief said with a smile on his face: "A tunnel is a tunnel that connects cellars to form a tunnel that extends in all directions. From the tunnel at the east end of the village, you can run all the way to the west end of the village.
, a tunnel has three or four entrances, and the Japanese found one entrance, and we have other entrances, and not only that, there are more than one tunnels, and what we can dig is like a spider web in the corner."
Everyone had different expressions when they heard this. They had not thought about connecting the cellars in the village with tunnels. They just wanted to hide in the cellars to avoid the raids by the Japanese. Fortunately, they would not be discovered by the Japanese. Unfortunately, they would be discovered by the Japanese.
If the Japs were to catch them, they might even kill them.
"That's right! By connecting the tunnels together, the Japanese can dig out a cellar. We have other exits and can completely avoid the Japanese!"
The words of the old village chief woke up everyone. They looked at each other happily. This method of connecting the cellars is really good. In this way, it can prevent the Japanese devils from digging a cellar and catching them all.
.
The old village chief added: "Tunnels can not only be used to hide, but also to fight against the Japs. Our Gaojiazhuang came up with a battle plan called tunnel warfare. The tunnels dug can not only fight against the Japs, but also use them to fight against the Japs."
Come hide."
"Has the digging been completed in Gaojiazhuang?"
Everyone looked at the old village chief eagerly.
The old village chief said: "Not yet, but we are already digging. At the meeting tomorrow morning, the district chief will ask us to explain in detail the battle plan for the tunnel war, how to use the tunnels to fight the Japanese, and how to realize the village's victory."
Cooperate with the village to fight the Japanese, and how to stop the Japanese before they enter the village."
The village chief of Sunzhuang grinned: "Lao Gao, you are not authentic, you even play riddles!"
Others echoed: "That's right, if there's anything you can't say, tell it now."
The old village chief smiled and said: "I can't say, the district still needs to contact the superiors and submit the plan for the tunnel warfare. It is estimated that the results will be announced tonight."
Whether the tunnel warfare plan is feasible, whether it is suitable for the central Hebei region, and whether it is suitable for all-round and large-scale tunnel warfare campaigns has yet to be studied. After a short discussion in the organization, it was decided to first use the tunnel warfare campaign in Hebei Province.
The middle third zone is used as a testing ground to carry out tunnel warfare campaigns to see the actual effects of tunnel warfare.
After receiving the news, the division chief quickly held a meeting at nine o'clock the next morning. Participants in the meeting were villages in the areas near the division where guerrillas exist, or villages that have joined our party and have launched militias and guerrillas.
Some villages that have not yet developed guerrilla groups or militias also came to participate in the meeting.
The meeting held several modules. The first module was the counterattack. Facing the Japanese raids, the people in central Hebei must not be afraid of powerful enemies, have the courage to fight, and organize young people in the villages to form anti-Japanese guerrillas.
, organized the young women in the village to form the Young Women's Anti-Japanese Vanguard, organized the children in the village to form the Anti-Japanese Children's League, and organized the villagers who still had fighting ability to form the militia.
Anti-Japanese guerrillas were launched in an all-round way. The whole village was filled with soldiers, men, women, old and young, and they joined forces to fight against the invading Japanese devils.
The second module is the famous "On Protracted War", which is also the combat plan to deal with this major sweep by the Japanese devils, which is to persist in protracted warfare. The meeting led by the district chief and Captain Cui elaborated on the importance of "Protracted War"
Nature, the Anti-Japanese War was not a short war, it was destined to be an arduous tug-of-war. The Japanese army wanted to complete its goal of invading China and destroying China, and China's 400 million people would never let the Japanese devils' plan succeed.
On the development of protracted war, it laid the future combat policy, cleared a path for countless anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians to see the hazy area ahead, and provided them with a correct direction.
The third module mourns and highly affirms the comrades who have sacrificed their lives in the Anti-Japanese War in recent days, and praises those comrades who have made outstanding contributions, with emphasis on Xia Yuan.
"Comrade Xia Yuan has seized more than 20 weapons and equipment and more than 100 bullets. He has made a significant contribution to the anti-Japanese war. I commend him!"
"Furthermore, Comrade Xia Yuan proposed the operational policy of tunnel warfare and was recognized by his superiors. This is a great achievement. At the same time, all the people of Gaojiazhuang have also made outstanding contributions. This is a great achievement. The organization attaches great importance to the actual combat capabilities of tunnel warfare.
, and use our area as an experimental site to carry out tunnel warfare campaigns!"
The fourth module is the detailed combat plan for tunnel warfare. Xia Yuan, the old village chief, and Sanbao, as representatives, sketched the tunnel warfare combat map on the blackboard.
The theory of tunnel warfare is very simple. The core is to use tunnels to fight, make detours, and use the traffic ditches between villages as a line of defense to block the Japanese army. The two villages combine with each other to form a powerful blocking force to block the raiding and invading Japanese troops.
, and can retreat at any time through the tunnels in the traffic ditch without exposing themselves to the gunfire of the Japanese.
The second line of defense is Hucungou, which focuses on the strength of individual villages to block the invading Japanese troops, combat the arrogance of the Japanese devils, and eliminate the invading Japanese troops to a great extent.
The third line of defense relies on the tunnel warfare combat system composed of village buildings and village tunnels. When the Japanese troops cannot be seen or hit, they can quickly attack and eliminate the Japanese troops entering the village.
The core idea of tunnel warfare is that if you don't fire a second shot at one place, fire one shot, and then change places, the Japanese will have no idea where the enemy is and will not be able to effectively attack the enemy who attacks them.
Tunnel warfare was another ingenious form of guerrilla warfare, which simply transferred the ground guerrillas to underground guerrillas and launched operations against the Japanese underground.
At the same time, Xia Yuan also focused on how to deal with the enemy's discovery of the tunnel.
He said: "We need to understand who dug the tunnels and who built them! We dug the tunnels with our own hands, and we all know where each branch leads. When the Japanese enter the tunnel, it is like entering a maze.
Likewise, can they tell clearly where the tunnel here leads and where the tunnel over there leads? No, they can't figure it out at all. Once they enter the tunnel, they will follow our encirclement.
, we can get behind the Japanese anytime and anywhere to sneak attack."
"Don't think that the means are despicable. When the devils killed the people, why didn't they think that they were a group of unarmed people, and there were many old people!"
"So we not only conduct sneak attacks, but also set up traps in the tunnels, but we must pay attention that the tunnels used for fighting must be separated from the tunnels used for hiding!"
"And the most important point is that the air outlets of the tunnels must be set up. If there is not enough oxygen in the tunnels, people will die. So when digging tunnels, you must find some hidden tunnels and make a few openings to allow the tunnels to pass through.
There’s good air circulation inside.”
"Okay, these are the basic combat plans for tunnel warfare."
Crackling!
The entire conference room burst into fierce applause.
