The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1797 Waiting for the Enemy

"Fighting a war is actually like doing a math problem." In a forest on a high hill beside the road, Chu Tian was talking to Chen Hanwen.

"What do you mean?" Chen Hanwen couldn't understand how fighting and doing math problems were mixed up.

"You see, you have to have a goal before going to war, it's like solving a math problem.

Then it is divided into known conditions and unknown conditions. How to solve this problem through known conditions is the process of deploying troops and fighting through known conditions.

Sometimes the conditions for fighting are not yet in place, which are unknown conditions. We need to solve the unknown conditions through known conditions and turn the unknown conditions into known conditions. "It's really difficult for Chu Tian.

  This great scholar spoke eloquently about the war, which confused Chen Hanwen, a half-scholar.

To be honest, solving math problems is not Chen Hanwen's strong point. The reason why Chen Hanwen is called a half-scholar is because he is good at showing off his knowledge.

Chen Hanwen felt lonely after listening to this, so he turned around and looked at Gu Bing, an old soldier beside him, and said, "Do you understand?"

"I understand a little." Gu Bing replied.

"What do you know?" Chu Tian and Chen Hanwen asked at the same time.

"I can do addition and subtraction within 10, but I can't do it after 10, so I only understand a little, just a little bit." Gu Bing answered in an honest manner and stretched out his fingers to pinch it.

Chu Tian and Chen Hanwen were stunned at first and then started laughing. The funny Gu Bing and Hou Kanshan, who had been sitting next to them and did not interrupt, also laughed.

After being a daughter-in-law for a thousand years, she finally becomes a mother-in-law.

With Shang Zhen's recommendation, Qiu Bo was transferred to the division headquarters to serve as the guard company commander, and Chu Tian was promoted to company commander by Shang Zhen.

After all, he is the captain of a company. No old soldier dares to make fun of him for his flowery speech. In Chu Tian's opinion, this may be the only benefit of becoming a company commander.

After the four people finished laughing, Hou Kanshan lit a cigarette and started smoking. However, as he looked at the drifting smoke, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Why are you sighing?" Chen Hanwen asked.

"There are fewer and fewer elderly people." Hou Kanshan still sighed, "Sometimes when I smoke, I look at the smoke floating up to the sky, and I feel that in the smoke, our elderly are like a revolving lantern, coming and going, coming and going, alas."

Hou Kanshan's words silenced the three people. After a while, Chu Tiancai said, "Don't mention these unhappy things."

"But is there anything to be happy about?" Hou Kanshan asked back.

"Then let me tell you a happy story." Gu Bing said.

"Then tell me about it." Chu Tian said.

Gu Bing then said: "An old fly and a young fly were eating shit in a toilet. The young fly said to the old fly, "Mom, why do we always eat this?"

The old fly said to the young fly, "You unlucky child, don't say such disgusting things while eating."

After Gu Bing finished speaking, he started laughing.

He just smiled and looked at the three people again. Although Chu Tian and Chen Hanwen also laughed, that smile was weak and helpless.

  As for Hou Kanshan, no one could tell whether he was laughing or not. His laugh was uglier than crying!

After grinning a few times, Chen Hanwen felt that this polite smile was too boring, and finally said, "It's not funny at all." Then he stood up.

As he stood up, he suddenly said, "Someone is coming! Let's see if our scout has returned."

After hearing what Chen Hanwen said, the three people all stood up and looked at the road through the gaps in the trees. Chu Tian also raised the telescope and observed for a while before saying, "It's Danfei and the others who are back. Notify our people so that they can wake up."

The Chutian Company was ordered by Shang Zhen to guard the outskirts of Shuiquan Town to delay the Japanese attack. Originally, the other two companies were also connected with them, but Shang Zhen transferred the two companies away in order to avenge Ma Erhuzi.

Because the incident happened suddenly, Shang Zhen did not issue any specific orders to the Chu world.

But it was impossible for Chu Tian not to think about it. He was naturally worried that the Japanese army would launch a large-scale attack and their camp would be completely unprepared, so he simply sent two groups of soldiers to conduct reconnaissance at a farther place.

The news brought back by the first group of reconnaissance soldiers was that there was indeed a large group of Japanese troops heading towards Shuiquan Town.

Whether it was for food or to avenge Ma Erhuzi, Chu Tian could not allow a large group of Japanese troops to rush to Shuiquan Town, so he began to look for ambush locations along the highway.

  We don’t have as many troops as the enemy, and our firepower isn’t as strong as the enemy’s. If we can’t find a good terrain for blocking the enemy, how can we fight the battle?

Moreover, after fighting with the Japanese army, they had to retreat in time. Fighting the Japanese army to the death together with the enemy has never been the combat style of Shang Zhen and his battalion!

But it is not easy to find an ideal blocking position. This is not a mountainous area or a place to grow wheat. At most, it is just an area with rolling hills.

Although the hilly areas have undulating terrain, they are mostly open areas and can be almost called plains.

For the disadvantaged Chinese army, fighting is just the opposite. The more dangerous the terrain, the more advantageous it is for them to launch blocking attacks and defeat the strong with the weak. The more complex the terrain, the more advantageous it is for them to run away after fighting.

Because there was no good terrain near Shuitian Town, Chu Tian simply led his company along the road and headed in the direction of the Japanese army.

In this way, they will naturally be getting farther and farther away from Shuiquan Town. The good thing is that once they go to war with the Japanese army, it will be impossible for the Japanese army to reach Shuiquan Town so quickly. The bad thing is that if they are entangled by the Japanese army, they will have no support!

If it were any other army, they might be afraid, but Chu Tian and his men wouldn't.

The reason is that they have long been used to it!

Ever since Chu Tian followed Shang Zhen, he couldn’t remember how many times he had been chased by the Japanese devils.

These veterans all have very strong soles and have experience in escaping pursuit many times.

If a company as a whole is too big a target to be chased by the Japanese army, then he can break his company into small units.

This kind of fighting style undoubtedly requires the soldiers in squads and platoons to have strong independent combat capabilities. It just so happens that the squad leaders and platoon leaders of each company are all veterans. They uphold the tradition of Shang Zhen and others. In the Northeastern dialect, they are all old pig kidney thieves!

According to what Chu Tian learned from Leng Xiaozhi, we are also a team with faith.

We are different from the Central Army, different from other miscellaneous armies, and different from other units of the Northeast Army.

  If we gather together, we will be like a fist. If we separate, each of us will become a spike, and we will always poke the Japanese to draw blood. Surrendering or shrinking back is not the style of our battalion!

The reason why Chu Tian and his men stopped now was, of course, because he had found a suitable ambush location, so he let the soldiers rest.

"Although the Eighth Route Army guerrillas also fired at the Japanese devils, they were useless. After just a few shots, the Japanese devils sent a small team to chase them. However, the large group of Japanese and Second Devil troops were not stopped for long and came towards us again." Dan Fei, who went out for reconnaissance, reported.

"Can you tell me more about the strength of the Japanese troops?" Chu Tian said.

"There are more than 30 carriages, all of which are horse-drawn carts. I also saw that some of the carriages have rubber wheels. I guess the Japanese are also here to steal food." Shan Fei continued.

Chu Tian frowned. The Japanese army was coming in full force and it would be difficult to fight. Moreover, the Japanese and puppet troops ignored the harassment from the Eighth Route Army in front of them, which was a bit troublesome.

  If our company were to engage in a battle with the Japanese army, the Japanese army would only send a small force to engage with us. What if their large force went over there?

"It's just a little past five o'clock now, and there's still some time before dark." Chen Hanwen said with some concern.

"It's getting dark?" Chen Hanwen's words reminded Chu Tian. He glanced at the setting sun and felt that he had an idea.

Although there is still some time before dark, if we delay the Japanese until dark, it will be unlikely that they will go to Shuiquan Town after dark.
