Chapter 49: Cheats for Distinguishing Chinese and Japanese
Therefore, in war, it is very important to understand the terrain.
When the Chinese troops march in a certain province in their own country, they have to rely on the maps left by the Japanese army when they invaded China. The topographic maps of a certain place in China drawn by the Japanese are more detailed and reliable than those drawn by the Chinese themselves.
Therefore, every time the Chinese troops defeated the Japanese, they first seized their radio stations, then seized their maps, and then surrendered their guns.
The instructor also recounted an incident he had personally experienced.
During a march, they used a captured Japanese map. On this map, there was a trail marked that could lead directly through the mountain in front of them.
But the instructors and others could not find this "shortcut" that could go directly through the mountains. I asked almost everyone passing by, and they all said they didn't know there was such a road. Could it be that the Japanese map was wrong this time?
?Because even so many locals don’t know it.
Fortunately, they finally found an old man who was very familiar with the local terrain. Under the guidance of the old man, they cut for a long time in the thorn bushes, and found an extremely hidden path covered by thick shade and rugged vines.
The small road appeared in front of them. The Japanese map was correct. Even the locals didn't know about such a secret road. Japanese spies were able to accurately mark it on the map!
The instructor analyzed that the Japanese may be the most "fine" people in the world in doing things. For example, when cooking food, they even need to be precise to the gram. When doing research, they are even more "fine" - some Japanese scholars have devoted great energy to it.
Studying how many rivets were used on a large ship during Zheng He's voyages to the West; some Japanese scholars who studied Chiang Kai-shek have clearly verified Chiang Kai-shek's residence, dining restaurants, and walking routes when he stayed in Japan; and some Japanese scholars specifically
When studying the etiquette that the prince should do during the first three days after the death of the Tang Dynasty emperor, no Chinese scholar has ever done such a "fine" study.
With the ninja-like camouflage and penetration abilities of Japanese spies, it is really not easy to catch them out.
So how can we identify this terrible Japanese spy? The best way is to look at the toes. Because of different living habits, the Japanese wear wooden slippers since childhood, so the big toe is widely separated from the other toes, which is obviously different from the Chinese.
are different. This point is also written into the US military's combat manual, called "How to distinguish the Japanese from the Chinese."
Wang Zhengkui knew that with the astonishing ability of Japanese spies, he must have been aware of his movements, so he came to find out the truth under the guise of fortune telling.
Why do these Japanese spies have to pretend to be fortune tellers? Because in this extremely closed village, almost all strangers from outside are fortune tellers. In this name, it is less likely to arouse suspicion, but these Japanese spies will never
Unexpectedly, the blind man who told them fortune-telling was a strange person who could discern the secrets of heaven and understand human feelings.
Wang Zhengkui also lamented a little. As a senior officer of the Chinese army, his chest was pierced by a Japanese bullet during the battle. Fortunately, his vital organs were not injured and the rescue was timely. He was able to save his life. He originally wanted to go to his hometown.
The terrain is unique and almost isolated from the outside world, making it an ideal and safe place to recuperate. Unexpectedly, it was still impossible to get rid of these pervasive Japanese spies.
The military intelligence mastered by a senior officer is of immeasurable value to the enemy, so the Japanese are willing to spend all their money to catch him. Wang Zhengkui is actually well prepared. Among the pistols he keeps with him, there is one
Keep each bullet for yourself.
He cautiously asked the blind man, "Sir, can you tell me when these Japanese invaders will come up the mountain to catch me?"
The blind man did not reply immediately. He just picked up the tea that Wang Zhengkui had brewed and took a sip calmly. He did not answer Wang Zhengkui's question directly, but said lightly: "More than eighty years ago, I was doing fortune telling in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
There is a wealthy businessman who has a close relationship with me. I have very few friends, and he is an exception. Although he is extremely wealthy and enjoys all the glory and wealth, he also has a strange destiny, which is doomed to a bad fate. Whenever he is about to encounter danger,
I would tell him the solution in advance, so everything was safe, and he was very grateful to me. But once, he went to the capital to check out his store, and he stayed there for more than half a year. One day, while I was meditating, I suddenly felt that he was about to be in trouble.
But because the journey was far away, I couldn't tell you, so it was all in vain. Soon, the bad news came that he had died tragically. From this, I realized that everyone's life and death are actually in your own hands. Others can help you once.
Twice, but if you lose the ability to deal with danger and only rely on others to protect your life, then you will be swallowed up by bad luck sooner or later. Helping someone too much may just harm him. And the secret must not be leaked. If you do not
Too many leaks will lead to retribution. Fortune telling is just mediocre and is caused by the stupidity of ordinary people. It is not what a wise or brave general should do."
Wang Zhengkui listened quietly. He nodded thoughtfully. After the blind man said these few words, the two of them didn't say anything. They just sat facing each other in silence. Thousands of words were lost in words.
.
After the blind man's advice, Wang Zhengkui greatly increased his vigilance. He often carefully checked the surrounding terrain while walking, thinking about where the Japanese invaders would enter the village if they raided to capture him.
First of all, the Japanese army generally would not choose the narrow path that is the only one connected to the outside world, because if you enter the village through that path, you will be discovered even if you are far away from the village. The Japanese army will definitely avoid being exposed in advance.
So given the Japanese army's combat and raid style, where would they most likely appear?
After repeated observations and thinking, Wang Zhengkui determined the most likely "landing" location for the Japanese army - the cliff behind the village.
Because ordinary villagers rarely come here, if you enter the village from this place, it is not easy to be discovered. Also, although the terrain here seems very dangerous, if you climb up from here in Japan, you will save dozens of miles of mountain roads.
And approaching the target at the fastest speed in the shortest time is the most basic principle of sneak attack tactics.
Therefore, Wang Zhengkui is almost certain that if the Japanese army wants to capture him, this will be the best place for them to choose. And according to Wang Zhengkui's understanding, the Japanese troops stationed in this area have been trained in mountain warfare, especially their reconnaissance troops.
There are also many mountain climbers, so climbing such a cliff should not be too strenuous for them.
Will there be a sneak attack at night? Because usually sneak attacks are at night.
After careful consideration, Wang Zhengkui felt that it was more likely to move during the day. Because in such a complex and dangerous terrain, it is very inconvenient to move at night, and rock climbing at night is extremely dangerous.
After considering these factors, Wang Zhengkui also took clear defensive measures - he would focus on observing the movements on the cliff behind the village every day. He also moved his parents and home to an empty space at the end of the village, not far from the cliff.
In the house. This empty house is about a mile away from the village. It was originally lived by a hunter in the village, but because it was the off-season for hunting, the hunter returned to his home in the village. The reason why he moved to this house is because
He can easily observe the movements on the cliff, and once he discovers the Japanese army, he can easily escape to the mountain on the left from here.
For some reason, when the blind man fled to the mountains in advance, he told no one except the clan leader, including Wang Zhengkui. Wang Zhengkui did not expect that the blind man would flee to the mountains, let alone when he would escape. But he persisted every day.
Yes, pay close attention to the cliff behind the village, because that is likely to be the breakthrough point of the Japanese army.
It was exactly what he expected.
One day, he was exercising silently on the grass next to the cliff behind the village. Suddenly he heard something moving under the cliff. Although the cliff was very deep, there were mountain peaks on both sides, so as long as there was a little sound, it would be heard. So
He quickly lay down on the edge of the cliff and looked down. Through the mist, he could vaguely see a few black spots on the cliff, moving slowly. Sure enough, they were here! They must be Japanese!
His heart was beating wildly, and he wanted to run home, but because his body had not fully recovered, he felt a sharp pain in his chest after running a few steps, so painful that he almost fainted. He hurriedly squatted on the ground and tried to adjust his breathing.
, in order to calm down. After squatting on the ground for dozens of seconds, he gradually calmed down.
When he walked to the house where he lived nearby, he simply said to his parents: "The Japanese are coming." His parents immediately understood, because Wang Zhengkui had already told his parents all this in advance. The family of three had already packed up.
I had everything in mind and was ready to escape to the mountains. As soon as I heard that the Japanese were coming, I immediately picked up the baggage that I had prepared and went out to escape to the mountains in a hurry.
When the Japanese came to the village to cause trouble, Wang Zhengkui's family had already hid in a very hidden place deep in the mountains. In this way, Wang Zhengkui escaped, but if the blind man had not warned him, he might have died without a burial place.
But when Wang Zhengkui returned to the village and saw the huge disaster caused by the Japanese burning, killing and raping to the village, his heart was bleeding. If it hadn't been for him, maybe these ferocious Japanese would not have gone to such a remote and peaceful place.
He came to the village to cause harm to the villagers. Although he was a division commander and once commanded thousands of troops, but at this time, he felt so small, powerless, alone, and weak, and he would be out of breath after running even a few steps. He
I really want to catch and skin these Japanese devils who come to the village one by one, gouge out their hearts, and light sky lanterns. But it is so beyond my power.
How he hoped that the blind man, a wise man from this world, could reappear in the village as soon as possible, so that he could ask the blind man for advice on how to retaliate against the Japanese. He was convinced that with the blind man's wisdom and ability, he could definitely plan an astonishing and terrifying plan.
revenge plan.
