The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1814 Mobilization before the war

Shang Zhen was not as good as his wife Leng Xiaozhi. He had not received much education, and he became good at using idioms only after he learned it by himself.

Therefore, he naturally does not understand the theory of grasping the main contradiction among various contradictions.

But this did not prevent him from understanding another most simple truth, that is, various things are complicated, and you should always choose the most important things to do first, and do the others in order of priority.

So, his most important task now is to help Chen Laocai preserve food, or to help the people of Shuiquan Town survive the disaster brought about by the Japanese and puppet troops entering the countryside.

As for his relationship with the Eighth Route Army, and the fact that Hou Kanshan reminded him that the Japanese and puppet troops might be targeting him alone, he could only put it aside for the time being.

At dawn, Shang Zhen and a squad of soldiers were hiding in a large wheat field where the wheat ears had been cut.

Even now, as he looked at the wheat field with only wheat straw standing on the ground without any wheat ears, he couldn't help laughing in his heart and wondering why he could come up with such a "bad idea"?

Others, especially the officers and soldiers under his command, think that he is a very smart person. However, Shang Zhen himself does not think that he is very smart.

Because after every battle, he recalled the entire process from the start to the end of the battle, and he always felt that there were some mistakes.

He himself didn't know how all these emergency ideas came up, they just seemed to pop out of his mind. Maybe he had fought too many enemy soldiers, just like an old horse knows the way and an old man becomes smart, even though he was not old now.

  But then again, whether you are old or not depends on who you compare yourself to. Now he looked at the young and tender faces of the soldiers next to him and couldn't help but sigh. He sighed like an old soldier, "Look at how young you are, how great!

In fact, I particularly miss the time when I just left the three northeastern provinces.

There were only a few of us soldiers at that time, and I was about your age.

Although my soles were covered with blisters from walking most of the time, I was happy as long as I killed a few Japanese soldiers and ran away even if there were blisters on my feet.

There were seven or eight people at that time, but now two of them have been killed."

The two people Shang Zhen was referring to were Erhanzi and Ma Erhuzi.

"Battalion Commander, you are a great hero in the eyes of us and those old soldiers." Seeing that Shang Zhen's tone was a little sad, a soldier said to Shang Zhen sincerely.

"Great hero?" Shang Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He shook his head and was about to say that he was not a hero, but he changed his mind after a change of heart.

He nodded and said, "I am a great hero, and those veterans are also great heroes.

We Northeasterners don’t have as many people as you Shandong people, and we don’t have ancestral halls like you do.

But when the day comes when we drive the devils away, even if we die, we will be included in the family tree. Even if we can’t find where our people died, I think our descendants will build a tomb for us and place it in our own ancestral tomb circle, bringing honor to our family!”

The reason why Shang Zhen changed his mind was because he suddenly realized the problem of morale.

He did not want all the officers and soldiers to die in the battle, including himself, but he still hoped that his soldiers would have such a concept that they fought against the Japanese, even if they died, it would bring glory to the family, which was something that his descendants would be proud of.

None of the soldiers in the squad led by Shang Zhen can be considered veterans of many battles.

This time he deliberately did not bring the veterans.

  Just because there are fewer and fewer veterans, we can't say that we won't fight against the Japanese, right?

I thought about how I was also a rookie at the beginning. After fighting a lot, I gradually became a veteran.

  He hoped that he could lead these new recruits through this battle, at least to help them grow up. So the soldiers he selected were all recruited later, the youngest was only 20 or years old, and the oldest was not even !

In this regard, he was inspired by Leng Xiaozhi.

Because the Communist Eighth Route Army pays special attention to the inheritance of the fighting spirit, which is often not available in the Nationalist Army.

So after Shang Zhen's encouragement, he saw the soldiers' eyes light up, so he continued to encourage them: "It takes time for new soldiers to become veterans.

When I was a new recruit, I couldn't catch up with you.

In order to drive away the Japanese devils, I practiced my shooting skills as much as I could, and I used my brain for everything, which led to what I am now.

As long as you have the will, you will be able to become like me in the future, or even be better than me."

When Shang Zhenyi said this, the soldiers' eyes lit up even more. One of them even asked, "Will we really be able to fight as well as you one day?"

"Of course, as long as we start today." Shang Zhen replied.

He had just finished speaking when he heard gunshots coming from the front. The people in their battalion and the invading Japanese and puppet troops started fighting.

This time, because of the food, Shang Zhen and his camp were already very tired. If not for this, Shang Zhen would not mind taking people to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese military base.

But people are human after all, not machines. In the end, he still adopted the method of using a number of small guerrilla warfare groups to delay the Japanese army.

He dared to guarantee that the Japanese and puppet troops were attacked by their own people as soon as they set out.

The method he used was to choose ambush locations in squads and platoons according to the terrain and shoot at the Japanese troops, which can also be considered a cold shot.

For example, if the terrain is not conducive to an ambush, such as an open area, and the highway passes through the open area, how can we launch an ambush?

The soldiers suddenly opened fire on the Japanese army from a distance of four or five hundred meters.

Never mind killing a few Japanese soldiers; the requirement was not high. After the gunshots, since the ground was too flat, they could just sit in the carriage hidden at the back and run directly into the fields.

As for the terrain that was conducive to ambushes, it goes without saying that all the light machine guns and volley guns were used to attack the Japanese and puppet troops, and after the attack, they continued to run into the fields.

As for the small force sent by the Japanese and puppet troops to pursue, whether they can catch up with our people or whether our people can escape is up to fate.

Shang Zhen's style of play places very high demands on the team leader, who must be a veteran.

Only veterans knew how to inflict pain on the Japanese army all at once and then slip away like a loach.

The class that Shang Zhen is in is relatively close to Shuiquan Town.

He said that there was nothing special about the terrain here. The location of this squad of soldiers was about 400 meters away from the road.

The only advantage was that they were in a slightly higher position in the wheat field after harvesting the wheat ears. Now they were just lying on this small hill and could barely see the Japanese troops marching on the road.

This altitude is by no means a terrain where one man can block the passage of ten thousand. In short, once they opened fire, they would face pursuit by the Japanese army.

However, Shang Zhen naturally had a way to escape by using the terrain. He just wanted to take this opportunity to both block the Japanese army and set an example for the new recruits.
