Chapter 787 Big waves wash away the sand, each according to his ability
As long as the guerrillas sent by troops to the guerrilla areas gain a foothold, they can expand the size of the guerrillas, attack traitors and spies, destroy maintenance committees, and serve as eyesores for the garrison.
In this way, every move of the Japanese and puppet troops in the guerrilla zone will be closely watched by the garrison.
The attacking troops in the base area can also use the cover of the guerrillas to avoid the heavy Japanese and puppet troops, pick up the weak, and eliminate several Japanese and puppet troops at one time. The accumulation of a small number makes up a large number, and ultimately achieves the goal of severely damaging the enemy.
The more Li Hao thought about it, the bigger the smile on his face became.
A very complete battle plan slowly took shape in my mind.
He looked at Wang Hong and replied: "Yes, they will participate in the battle as a squadron."
"Each attack force will add a squadron of local troops in addition to the original reinforced company."
"Strive to conduct rotation training for all local troops in the base area within a month."
Wang Hong's eyes lit up and he replied: "Okay, then I will make arrangements now."
Before anyone could move, communications platoon leader Zhou Liang rushed in with excitement on his face.
"The regimental commander, political commissar, and military region forward the telegram from the headquarters."
Li Hao knew that his exchange of weapons for veterans had come to an end, so he grabbed it directly.
After reading it, my face was filled with joy.
One hundred veterans turned into two hundred people. Not only were they all veterans, but there were also one hundred squad leaders. It was definitely an unexpected surprise.
The specific plan to send guerrillas quickly took shape in Li Hao's mind, and then he turned his attention to Wang Hong.
"Political Commissar, your mission has come again."
"The boss did us a big favor and directly transferred 100 squad leaders and 100 veterans to us. They are all veterans who have been in the Eighth Route Army for more than one year. Especially the 100 veteran squad leaders are very good at fighting guerrilla warfare."
"I am sure that with their participation, our speed of establishing guerrilla forces in the guerrilla zones will be at least twice as fast."
"Look at the map. This area where we are about to develop a guerrilla zone has county seats and important towns."
"There are heavily defended areas by the Japanese and puppet troops, and there are enemies everywhere. When we establish a guerrilla force, we must avoid those places."
"But far away from these towns, especially near the mountains and hilly areas, there are at least two hundred villages and towns. They only have maintenance groups working for the Japanese and some traitorous spies."
"I decided to establish guerrilla groups in these villages and towns first, relying on the mountains and hills. They can advance, attack, retreat or defend, and fight guerrillas against the Japanese."
"When the time is right, the guerrillas will fight out little by little, attack villages and towns further away from the mountains and hills, attack the Japanese and puppet troops in those places, and develop forces behind enemy lines."
"My initial idea was to equip a hundred veterans with a sufficient number of weapons and send them to these villages and towns near mountains and hills to develop freely, find ways to establish guerrillas on their own, and then grow stronger."
"I dare not let them lead troops as soon as we come up."
"Although they are all veterans and good at fighting guerrillas, they have never truly commanded an army independently."
"Allowing them to lead troops when they come up is not only counterproductive, but also detrimental to their development. When encountering veterans who have no command ability at all, it is simply asking the soldiers to follow them to die, and it is a waste of human life."
"A hundred veterans, rushing through the sand, will be able to bring out thirty or forty guerrillas in the end. It will be good."
"It's different now. The boss sent us 200 people at once, including 100 veteran squad leaders."
"Those squad leaders must have independently led troops to fight guerrilla warfare against the Japanese and puppet troops and have experience in leading troops."
"We can completely put aside our previous worries and directly let them lead the troops, form a guerrilla group in the base area, and then go deep behind enemy lines."
"At that time, they can completely skip the previous steps, save a lot of time, directly use actions to expand the influence of the guerrillas, encourage more people to join the guerrillas, expand the scale of the guerrillas, act as a good eye for the main force, and cooperate with the main force in combat
."
"I decided to start preparations now: after these two hundred people are in place, we will directly form a hundred guerrilla teams and secretly sneak into the guerrilla zone we are about to establish."
"Fight the spies, kill the traitors, and destroy the maintenance committee."
"Seize all the wealth they have plundered from the villagers and return it to everyone to ensure that no one in the guerrilla zone starves to death before the autumn harvest."
"By the way, we will expand the influence of the guerrillas, mobilize aspiring young people to join the guerrillas, and expand the scale of the guerrillas."
"All the Japanese and puppet troops on the blockade have withdrawn to five large strongholds. In order to prevent the sheep from entering the tiger's mouth, all checkpoints and other items have been withdrawn."
"With the guerrillas dispersed, it should be easy to avoid the Japs' eyes and ears, cross the blockade, and enter the guerrilla zone."
"Political Commissar, you need to do something right away. Draw four hundred people from the recruit camp."
"They are all recruits temporarily recruited by the Japanese from the local area. They should be found in every village and town."
"I require that the homes of these four hundred people must include all villages and towns in the guerrilla zone."
"Each guerrilla team is assigned a squad leader, who is also the guerrilla team leader."
"A veteran will temporarily serve as the deputy captain of the guerrillas, plus four local recruits who are familiar with the local conditions, that is, the four hundred people selected by you, the political commissar."
"In addition, each guerrilla unit is equipped with one box cannon, ten 38-meter guns, five hundred rounds of bullets, twenty hand grenades, one mule and horse, and half a month's rations for ten soldiers."
"Weapons, ammunition, and supplies, please contact Deputy Commander Luo immediately to prepare them."
"When the two hundred people sent from the headquarters are in place, one hundred guerrillas must be formed immediately and then go behind enemy lines."
At the guard company station next to the regiment headquarters, one hundred veteran squad leaders stood in three rows on the open ground. Some looked serious, some looked confused, and some had a touch of worry on their faces.
They are all veterans and squad leaders, and more than half of them are already Party members, with the lowest being probationary Party members.
Although the position is very low, as an indispensable backbone of an army and the leader closest to the soldiers, no matter what you do, it is an example and must be done well.
As a soldier, obeying orders is the first rule to be learned, and it must be deeply ingrained in one's heart throughout the entire implementation career.
Therefore, when their superiors asked them for advice on whether they were willing to be transferred from the original army, in order to set a good example, these people did not hesitate to obey the order.
Now that we have arrived at our destination, although I have not regretted my original decision, I am still confused about my future.
The superiors only gave orders to mobilize troops, but did not tell me what to do after arriving at the garrison.
"Hello, comrades."
At this moment, a voice interrupted their thoughts and brought them back to reality.
The group leader Li Hao stood in front of everyone with a serious look on his face.
"Let me introduce myself first: I am Li Hao, the leader of the garrison. From now on, you will be the soldiers of my garrison."
"Everyone must be thinking why I traveled so far to recruit you from the old army?"
"I will tell you now to make everyone feel at ease in our garrison."
"I want you to come here to fight against the Japs, and to use the guerrilla warfare you are good at to fight against the Japanese and puppet troops."
"As for positions, I know that everyone is originally the squad leader of the main force."
"I can tell you clearly here that you don't need to think about squad leader. From now on, everyone has the same position, and that is the guerrilla leader."
"I will give each captain a veteran, four local recruits who have just been converted from prisoners, and also give a box cannon, ten thirty-eight caps, five hundred rounds of ammunition, twenty grenades, and three hundred kilograms of grain.
."
Finally, I will give you three months to bring your subordinates, equipment and supplies, go deep behind enemy lines, and fight guerrillas against the Japanese."
"After three months, depending on your ability, if you can survive behind enemy lines, if you pull out a squad, you will become the squad leader, and if you pull out a platoon, you will become the platoon leader."
