In the end, it was Zhao Gang who rescued Wang Xuexin.
Zhao Gang said to Li Yunlong with disgust in his eyes: "Old Li, we are all used to guerrilla warfare. We still don't understand the principles of guerrilla warfare?"
Li Yunlong didn't understand the meaning of Zhao Gang's words for a moment, so he asked back: "What's wrong with being used to fighting guerrillas? If you are used to fighting guerrillas, you can't fight the Japanese?"
Li Yunlong got a little angry when he got anxious, but Zhao Gang didn't argue with him and explained calmly: "Old Li, when we were fighting guerrillas, if a company hid in the mountains, how many people would it take for the Japanese to find us? Now it's the Japanese's turn.
They are fighting guerrillas with us, and you want a mountain company from Xiaodongbei to find them?"
Hearing this, Li Yunlong couldn't help but said "Oh" and nodded to express his understanding.
In many ways, the Japs' infiltration warfare is very similar to the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla warfare. If there is any difference, it is that the infiltration warfare has a clear goal. Their task is to cooperate with the main force in the attack, while the guerrilla warfare has no specific goals. They are more
The goal is to find opportunities for fighters to exploit every opportunity.
But thinking about this, Wang Xuexin got an idea.
"Regiment leader, political commissar!" Wang Xuexin said: "We are fighting guerrillas. Even if the Japs send ten times as many people, it will be useless. But in this infiltration war... the Japs will still target our base in the end!"
When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately understood what Wang Xuexin meant: "This makes sense. A monk can't escape the temple if he can escape. The devil is hiding here and there, but in the end he wants to attack our defense line? So we don't have to look for it, it will do it on its own."
They will also find us!"
There is a saying that "without desire leads to strength". Guerrilla warfare is completely traceless because it has no specific target, but the Japanese infiltration warfare is different. They have a target.
Another meaning of having a goal is that they have to act sooner or later, otherwise there will be no point in their penetration of the defense line.
But Zhao Gang still feels pessimistic about this.
"The problem is that we don't know where their target is or when they will attack!" Zhao Gang pointed to the map and said: "Zhongtiao Mountain is nearly two hundred kilometers away. Judging from their tactics in attacking the stubborn army last time, they don't
We must attack the defense line directly, but attack the stubborn army’s logistics, arsenals, field hospitals, and cooperate with the main force to block the supply lines, etc.”
"This is what we have to prepare for!" Wang Xuexin took a few seconds to collect his thoughts and replied: "First, we have to use false information to confuse the enemy!"
This is in view of the fact that special operations always require accurate intelligence and make combat plans based on intelligence... Once the intelligence obtained by the Japs is false or even a trap deliberately set by the Eighth Route Army for them, the Japs' rash attack will only make them
completely annihilated.
Intelligence warfare should be the cheapest and most effective tactic.
Wang Xuexin further explained: "For example, supply lines can be divided into two for peacetime and war, or we can secretly prepare a backup supply line. As soon as the battle starts wherever the war begins, we can immediately change the supply line... This will at least disrupt the enemy's
The combat plan increases the possibility of their exposure, and at the same time creates opportunities for us!"
Li Yunlong nodded slightly: "Yes, yes, if they ambush on the supply line and don't want to be discovered by us, they can only gather in the dark and lurk on both sides of the supply line. If we temporarily change the route, hey... the Japanese can only stay in the original place."
The ground is staring!"
Wang Xuexin continued: "For example, in hospitals, we can secretly add firepower points and even bunkers, tunnels, and fake warehouses for arms. In short, there are a lot of real and fake ones, leaving the Japanese at a loss and not knowing where to start. The point is
We have to be strict with our words, otherwise we will waste our efforts and even suffer heavy losses by tossing a lot of things and leaking the secrets!"
In this regard, Wang Xuexin has confidence in the Eighth Route Army.
Even though everyone in the Eighth Route Army looked disheveled and extremely poor, they still had nothing to say about their fighting will.
In fact, it is precisely because the Eighth Route Army's life is difficult that the overall will to fight is stronger.
This can actually be proved by contradiction:
In the same war of resistance against the Japanese, why did people insist on staying in the Eighth Route Army, a poor and useless team, instead of being paid by the stubborn army? Even after being jointly blockaded by the Japanese and the stubborn soldiers, hundreds of thousands of people did not give up, and in the end they could still "
"Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing" has made a successful comeback!
If you only consider material comfort, it would be unimaginable to choose the Eighth Route Army.
Therefore, most of the commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army are people who fight for their ideals and truly fight the war. The team they form when they come together is of course more united and more tenacious in their will to fight.
On the other hand, the stubborn army's policy of passive resistance is obvious to all, which determines that those who choose to join the stubborn army think more about material conditions than spiritual and ideals.
Today they chose the stubborn army for material reasons. Tomorrow when the Japanese spies place high-ranking officials and generous salaries in front of them, they will of course be more easily swayed... Didn't Sun Liangcheng go to the Japanese to be the commander-in-chief of the front army?
Moreover, he did this even though he knew that the Japanese would be defeated sooner or later. It can only be said that he is not only weak-minded but also short-sighted.
Therefore, intelligence warfare is basically unfeasible when implemented in a recalcitrant army. Today a wartime supply line is set, and tomorrow a map with this line will appear on the enemy's desk.
But this is not the case with the Eighth Route Army. If the intelligence war is carried out well, it can get twice the result with half the effort in dealing with the Japanese infiltration war.
Zhao Gang thought for a while, nodded and said: "This method is feasible, and I think the entire army should implement it. It can be said to be preparation, but on the other hand, we must also remind ourselves that we cannot relax at any time during war. We must
Always be alert to the enemy!"
As a political commissar, Zhao Gang's habit is to take things to another level and make them the norm.
But of course, small things take forever, and there’s nothing wrong with being vigilant at all times.
"After the intelligence war, we can also make some targeted arrangements." Wang Xuexin said: "For example, we can imagine ourselves as Japanese soldiers..."
"Imagine being a Japanese?" Li Yunlong glared at Wang Xuexin, and then said with a smile: "No one is willing to do this!"
People in this era were simple and honest, but they actually hated the devils deeply, so even pretending to be a devil or pretending to be a devil would be considered a shame.
Wang Xuexin said: "If no one is willing to do it, let the mountain company come! Only in this way can we find as many loopholes in our army's defense line as possible... Maybe the Japanese will also find these loopholes?"
Before Wang Xuexin finished speaking, Li Yunlong waved his hand and said: "Then it's agreed, you guys will do it together in the mountains!"
Wang Xuexin had a feeling that Li Yunlong seemed to be waiting for his words.
