The country is broken

Li Wei's simple words, combined with the actual situation, made Wang Xuezheng and other recruits nod involuntarily. They learned some cultural knowledge in the recruit camp at night. Although Li Wei's words were still a little difficult to understand, they still felt very reasonable.

"Understood, I brought up the new barracks of the [-]th district team. The reason why every instructor is so fierce is because I specifically asked for it. When you get used to the instructor's fierceness, you will never be so fierce when you go to the battlefield." Afraid of the fierceness of the Japanese, no matter how fierce the Japanese are, can they beat the instructors?! This is called psychological paralysis. A tiger can't beat a cat." Li Wei flaunted a new term, and these big soldiers didn't know what science was, and they all heard it inscrutable, but the previous anger was gone.

"Brother Li Wei, you don't need to say more, I understand." Wang Xuezheng stood up and said, "We are sorry for the hard work of Instructor Han and failed Li Wei's expectations of us. My brothers and I will go back now. I will definitely train well and will never have any complaints.”

"Hehe, it's good to understand. You should understand the training policy of the new barracks. Our district team is different from other troops. Our soldiers are always the best in the division. It's no problem to put any soldier in other troops. I can stand alone, so I hope you can stick to the strict requirements in training." Li Wei also stood up and patted Wang Xuezheng on the shoulder vigorously. These recruits are the same as other fighters from other backgrounds, simple and straightforward.

"How?! Figured it out?!" A person from outside the room walked in with a straight face. [

Like a conditioned reflex, Wang Xuezheng in the room was waiting for the recruit to stand up straight, saluted, and said loudly to the human: "Hello, instructor!" Many days of training have deeply engraved the general's salute into their bones.

The person who came was instructor Han, who had been standing outside Li Wei's house for a while, just to lead these recruits back.

"A bunch of bastards! Leaving the camp without permission, hum! I'll settle this with you later." Instructor Han glanced at the recruits in the room, walked up to Li Wei and saluted them.A faint smile floated on the rigid face and said: "Commander Li Wei, I still caused you trouble this time."

Instructor Han will laugh? !The recruits almost thought that their eyes were dazzled. The instructor who had a cold face all day long was still smiling. They thought this guy's face was made of iron. Seeing instructor Han enter the room, Wang Xuezheng waited Like a mouse seeing a cat, people stood aside with a guilty conscience and lowered their heads.

Li Wei replied with a military salute: "There are always times when people can't figure it out. Just make it clear. If you do everything, you are not afraid of death. Would you still be afraid of suffering and tiredness?!" Li Wei did not tell the truth, he himself It is a typical representative who is afraid of hardship and tiredness but not afraid of death.

"Okay, why don't you go back quickly, the lights have already been blown, do you still want to continue to violate discipline?! Line up outside and wait for me, get out!" Instructor Han glared at Wang Xuezheng who was waiting for the recruits, and the recruits immediately lowered their heads With their heads dingy against the wall, they lined up and walked out of the house.

Watching those would-be deserters leave, Instructor Han gave a military salute to Li Wei and said, "Commander Li Wei, I will strictly discipline them, and I won't disturb you. I'll go back first."

"Go slowly!" Li Wei just sent Instructor Han to the door.

Wang Xuezheng was waiting for the recruits to line up outside the house. Instructor Han led the recruits and left the dormitory area and returned to the recruit camp under the watchful eyes of the guards hiding in the dark.

A few days later, Wang Xuezheng went to ask those instructors about the demon instructors. Unexpectedly, all the instructors were secretive, and all of them smiled mysteriously without saying a word, and then asked the veterans.The faces of the veterans froze, as if remembering something terrible, they glared at Wang Xuezheng for a few times, and said, "Ask the commander of the fourth company." It was really hidden, at this time Wang Xuezheng and others felt a chill on the back of his neck.

In mid-September, Commander Joseph Warren Stilwell, who is in charge of U.S. aid materials in the Chinese theater, chief of staff of the Chinese theater, commander-in-chief of the U.S. military in the China-Myanmar-India theater, deputy commander of the Allied Command in Southeast Asia and commander of the Chinese Army in India, suggested to Chiang Kai-shek .The mobilization of the national army in Northwest China to cooperate with the Communist Army to launch a series of military operations against the Japanese army. The changes in the European war gave Commander Stilwell full confidence, and he was more optimistic about China's anti-fascist war of aggression, especially in recent years. At the same time, he used his authority as the person in charge of US aid to China to transfer a batch of military supplies to the CCP troops to support the CCP's anti-Japanese armed forces to further contain the main force of the Japanese army's invasion of China.

The offensive launched by the Eighth Route Army to recover the base areas in late July and late August had already annoyed the Japanese army. The news of the Italian war was like a constant blow to the Japanese army, which was sharpening their knives and preparing to organize a mopping up on the spot. Just after mid-September The North China Japanese Army Headquarters ordered a devastating sweep against the Beiyue Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base where the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was haunted. Anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians.

At the beginning, the people in the base area did not realize the crazy determination of the Japanese and puppet troops, and suffered great losses. They even appeared in human villages due to the inhumane massacre. The anti-Japanese troops in the base area immediately responded and united The support of other troops in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei theater also used tooth for tooth, eye for eye, and blood for blood, and carried out large-scale breakthrough warfare and guerrilla warfare. In a state of destruction at all times, mines, pits, pits, and square spikes have never disappeared from all roads, and telephone lines are always interrupted. Cut the telephone wires from the poles.

The new round of sweeping and anti-sweeping battles triggered by the Japanese and puppet troops in the Beiyue area ignited the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei war zone, which had not been peaceful for a long time, and fell into a melee. As the so-called burning company camp, you make me unhappy , I will not let you live in peace.

The control area of ​​the [-]th district team is relatively stable, but it is not idle. The combat strategy has changed slightly, from pulling out strongholds to infiltrating strongholds. The psychological warfare against the Japanese and puppet strongholds in the early stage has caused continuous irreversible accumulation. Quantitative changes have reached qualitative changes. A large number of puppet troops have lost confidence in the Japanese, and they are suffering from being denounced as traitors. Almost every day there are puppet soldiers deserting. They voted for the Eighth Route Army.

A puppet army stronghold outside Caotouzhuang is a typical example. Cai Fugui, the squadron leader of the puppet army stationed there, is a hardcore traitor. Several nearby strongholds were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army. Under the offensive of the propaganda war, the puppet troops in the stronghold couldn’t stand it. After being persuaded by the propaganda team of the third company, their relatives cried outside the stronghold every day. , there is a small family nearby, and no one wants to let their family members look down upon outside because of their reputation as a traitor, and children are thrown with stones by other dolls, and many puppet soldiers deserted, secretly Sneaked back home.

Cai Fugui, the squadron leader of the puppet army, first tied up a few puppet soldiers who had been captured after deserting, hung them up and smoked them half to death, and then suppressed the trend of deserters in the stronghold. He is a softie, he only bullies the weak and fears the strong, and dare not attack his iron walls.

A few days after this sentence was released, Cai Fugui, the squadron leader of the puppet army who slipped to a nearby town to listen to a small opera, was shot in the back of the head with a gun in the theater garden. He was knocked down to the ground by the pocket head behind him, unable to fight back, and the men who did it, the big men with brand-new pistols in their hands, said: "We are from the third company of the [-]th district team." The opera gardens that hadn't had time to blow up the nest all fell silent, the people listening to the opera, the people selling cigarettes, candy and snacks, and the opera singers all acted as if nothing had happened. , those who sell things, do what they should do, completely ignore these big men and those puppet soldiers, the theater has returned to the original bustle, the puppet army squadron leader and the plainclothes of the third company are all treated as air, even a strange thing None of his eyes came over.

Cai Fugui, the squadron leader of the puppet army, was very upset at this moment, as if encountering a hard stubble, without any resistance, he was dragged out of the theater like a dead dog. [

As for the reputation of the other companies in the [-]th district team's combat effectiveness, the reputation of the third company, which is often active among the masses, is far and wide. It captures traitors and kills evil gentry, and gets rid of those evil spirits who harm the people. What they do is very satisfying. Poor families who can't get rid of their troubles often get relief from Sanlian. Many ordinary people have been well received by Sanlian. The comrades of Sanlian will definitely receive the cooperation of the local people.

Just when everyone thought that Cai Fugui, the squadron leader of the puppet army, was a death suspect, to everyone's surprise, Cai Fugui came back unscathed a few days later, hid in the stronghold and was bored for a whole day before showing his head again. Cai Fugui seemed to be a completely different person, he was no longer the arrogance he used to be, and he no longer clamored to go to the countryside to sweep up and arrest the Eighth Route Army and guerrillas.

What is even incomprehensible is that once a guerrilla intelligence agent was accidentally exposed by the puppet army and entered the stronghold. He was arrested in the morning, and in the afternoon the intelligence agent hiccupped, full of grease, and was called a brother by the squadron leader Cai Fugui. It was sent out, as if this guerrilla intelligence officer was like a half-day tour of the stronghold with lunch included.
