"You misunderstood me. What I mean by bravery is taking the initiative to attack the Japanese." Su Yuan explained: "In passive defense, our flesh and blood cannot withstand the Japanese with sharp teeth and claws. Facing the Japanese
The aircraft and artillery can only be passively defended, and the result will be heavy losses, which I have personally experienced."
Meng Tian was silent, and Su Yuan continued to explain: "Look at today, if I join everyone in defending at the entrance of the village, how long can we hold on under the fierce Japanese firepower?"
"It makes some sense." Meng Tian responded.
"This is just a small battle. Let's look far away." Su Yuan took the opportunity to start his own propaganda. "The National Army is fighting the Japanese from the front, while our Eighth Route Army is deep behind the enemy lines, and the Japanese are trapped in front and rear.
A flanking attack, just like the battle just now, this victory must belong to us."
"The logic is good, but your Eighth Route Army is weak. It only has three divisions. What can you do behind enemy lines?" Meng Tian said unconvinced.
"There are three divisions. The Eighth Route Army only had more than 30,000 soldiers when they crossed the Yellow River. Now, more than a year later, there are already more than 100,000 soldiers." Meng Tian was shocked by Su Yuan's words.
"How did you do it? Not to mention the number of people, how did you deal with the weapons and ammunition?" Meng Tian asked.
"Mobilize the masses and carry out anti-Japanese propaganda." Su Yuan said simply: "As for weapons and ammunition, let alone our Eighth Route Army, how much can those miscellaneous armies get? The 29th Army is an example. We can only rely on ourselves.
Ambush the enemy's transport convoy behind enemy lines and capture it in combat."
"I have a general understanding." Meng Tian understood something. He couldn't help but said to Su Yuan: "Then you will develop your strength when you come back this time. However, the situation in this area is complicated. Each armed force has its own territory, and each has its own territory.
If you have plans, how do you rely on them to develop?"
"The Anti-Japanese War is a big deal now. We can put other things aside. We can unite all the teams that are willing to fight the Japanese." Meng Tian was a little dissatisfied with Su Yuan's words. This idea was not new to him, but it didn't work.
They are all under the banner of anti-Japanese, but they also have their own interests in mind, so it is not easy to unite.
Seeing Meng Tian's disapproving expression, Su Yuan continued: "Actually, it would be better to unite. This Ancheng is just a Japanese squadron and a puppet army regiment, and there are thousands of people in each armed force. The Japanese cannot run rampant."
"Hey, there are a lot of armed forces, but most of them are under the banner of anti-Japanese. Some of them even collude with the Japanese. I really haven't seen a few who sincerely resist the Japanese." Meng Tian reminded him, thinking about his own experience.
"But most of their soldiers are sincerely anti-Japanese, and we have a broad masses. As long as we develop the masses, we need to deeply understand and mobilize them." Su Yuan said.
"Then I really have to wait and see." Although Meng Tian disagreed, he was moved by Su Yuan in his heart. What he said made sense. But in his heart, he didn't want the Eighth Route Army to take the initiative. At least his team couldn't be named Communist.
