"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible." Captain Zhang, who was originally calm, immediately became irritable after listening to Tang Cheng's suggestion. After several days of continuous investigation, Tang Cheng became more and more certain that the Japanese troops in the county were planning to attack.
A large-scale cleanup operation was carried out in this area. Therefore, he immediately suggested to Captain Zhang to organize the villagers to move to the mountains, and at the same time organize guerrillas to carry out scattered attacks on the Japanese and puppet troops in the surrounding area, so as to divert the attention of the Japanese troops in the county.
.
Captain Zhang did not object to the guerrillas' scattered attacks. What he objected to was the overall transfer of the village. "In another half month, it will be the day of wheat harvest. If we ask everyone to move into the mountains at this time, what will happen to next year's rations? What's more,
, there are so many old people and children in the village, how long can they survive after entering the mountains?" Captain Zhang was obviously thinking about the villagers, but he also knew that if the Japanese army in the county carried out a clearing campaign in this area, they would find this place sooner or later.
Tang Cheng said calmly at this moment, "If the village does not move, your only countermeasure is to fight head-on. You are the guerrilla leader, and you should know the current situation of the guerrillas better than anyone else. What do you think of the current guerrillas?
, do you have the ability to confront the Japanese and puppet troops in the county?" Tang Cheng asked this question, and Captain Zhang immediately became paralyzed. The guerrillas had only recruited so many new recruits, how could their combat effectiveness be as good as that of the Japanese and puppet troops?
.
Seeing Captain Zhang's reaction, Tang Cheng was happy, "Since you yourself know what the current combat capability of the guerrillas is, why do you still have to compete with the Japanese and puppet troops? Since the guerrillas cannot withstand the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese and puppet troops,
Then who will protect these villagers? How can you be sure that after you are unable to withstand the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops, the Japanese and puppet troops will not use these villagers to vent their anger? When the Japanese and puppet troops cleared the countryside, what happened to those villages?
Don’t you know?”
Tang Cheng and Captain Zhang were in a stalemate for a long time. Captain Zhang finally had to admit that Tang Cheng's suggestion was correct, but he still couldn't resist his insistence. However, Tang Cheng didn't persuade too much. After all, they still had to leave here in the end.
Captain Zhang and the guerrillas were the locals. On the afternoon of the next day, the guerrillas sent to the county to inquire about the news came back again. The Japanese army in the county had assembled more than 1,500 people and was about to launch a clearing of the surrounding areas of the county.
When he learned that the Japanese army in the county had assembled more than 1,500 troops, Captain Zhang's expression instantly froze, because he knew that even if his guerrillas strengthened their training, they would not be able to match the 1,500 Japanese puppet troops. Captain Zhang's expression suddenly froze.
He regretted it very much at this moment. He regretted that he had not followed Tang Cheng’s advice and arranged for the villagers to
The villagers left first. "Okay! Don't sigh here. It's not too late to arrange for the villagers to leave now!" Tang Cheng did not choose to sit on the sidelines because of Captain Zhang's previous stubbornness, but once again persuaded Captain Zhang
Be prepared early.
This time, Captain Zhang finally stopped being stubborn. Half an hour later, all the guerrillas and some of the most respected people in the village were called to the big tree at the entrance of the village. "Uncle Liu Gui, the news I just got is...
The Japs in the county have assembled a force of 1,500 people this time and plan to launch a clearing campaign around the county. The guerrillas have been stationed here all year round, and the news may have been leaked long ago, so we have to be on guard." Zhang said with an ugly expression.
The captain did not hide it, but directly explained the reason.
"At present, the Japs in the county have basically completed their troop build-up, but we don't know the specific time for the Japs to dispatch troops yet. The most important thing we need to do now is to arrange for the villagers to move to the mountains. As long as our people enter the mountains
, there is nothing we can do about the little devil." As soon as Captain Zhang finished speaking, several villagers present began to talk about it. Compared with the guerrillas, they were more difficult to accept Captain Zhang's suggestion.
After several arguments, Captain Zhang looked at Tang Cheng with a troubled expression, but Tang Cheng turned around and left. He was too lazy to get involved in the village's affairs. After leaving the village entrance, Tang Cheng went to find Mr. Cao, who now
He was telling stories to several children in the village with a doting look on his face. When he saw Tang Cheng coming to him with a calm expression, Mr. Cao realized something was wrong. "Mr. Cao, your nephew's injury is almost healed. We should
Ready to leave." Tang Cheng did not directly explain the reason, but first gave Mr. Cao a buffer time.
Originally, Tangcheng arranged for Mr. Cao and the others to work in this village. Mr. Cao and the others, who were used to living in big cities, were not used to it at first. It was only with the passage of time and contact with the villagers that Mr. Cao discovered
, the villagers here are unpretentious, enthusiastic and sincere, which makes him appreciate the tranquility that is different from that in big cities. "The guerrillas have just received news that the Japanese army in the county has assembled a force of 1,500 people and plans to launch an attack on the surrounding areas of the county.
Clean up."
"The guerrillas are stationed here all year round. The news may have already been
If it is leaked out, if the Japanese and puppet troops in the county come here, even if we are included, the guerrillas will not be able to stop the actions of the Japanese and puppet troops in the county. So, you have two choices now, one is to leave this right and wrong early
The other is to stay here. You and your people will move to the mountains with the people in the village. I will take my people to help the guerrillas defeat this clearing operation of the Japanese and puppet troops in the county."
Tang Cheng did not directly persuade Mr. Cao to leave, but gave him a multiple-choice question. As for Tang Cheng's own choice, it was not important. Mr. Cao, who was born in a world of martial arts, was as cunning as a fox. He would not be able to tell what Tang Cheng was thinking.
After a brief consideration, they decided to move with the villagers. It is not difficult to understand that Mr. Cao would make this choice, because they are now in the Japanese-occupied area, and without the escort of Tangcheng and others, there is no way to leave safely.
possible.
That night, the mobilized villagers, escorted by the guerrillas, began to move into the mountains, while Tang Cheng, with his team members, began to attack the Japanese and puppet army strongholds around the county in accordance with the original plan.
This time, without the drag of the guerrillas, Tangcheng's attack went smoothly. In just one day and night, they attacked three Japanese and puppet strongholds, which also attracted the attention of the Japanese army in the county. But Tangcheng and the others
The actions were rapid and there was no movement track at all, which caused a headache for the Japanese troops in the county.
However, it is precisely because of the constant harassment from Tang Cheng and others that Captain Zhang has bought enough time. The entire village and even the poultry have successfully moved into the mountains. "This time, we are going to follow
The little Japs are playing hide-and-seek! The opponent's troops have a greater advantage, so we can't go head-to-head with them! Excluding those who stay in the mountains to protect the villagers, we currently only have these 40 people who can participate in the battle."
In a mountain depression more than ten miles away from the county seat, Tangcheng was arranging the content of the operation. "We have few people, so we cannot spread our forces. We can only move in a roundabout way to find the weaknesses of the Japanese and puppet troops. Fight quickly and leave quickly." In Tangcheng.
On the map opened in front of him, Tangcheng had already marked several locations with a pencil. "The Japanese and puppet troops in the county are going to be wiped out, and Huaishu Township is the only way for them to pass through. Huaishu Township is only seven or eight miles away from the county.
The puppet troops would never have imagined that we would attack them here."
"The closest to Huaishu Township is Xiaoli Village. Take the small road from Yangshan Mountain in the north of Huaishu Township, which is better than the main road.
Marching can save 2 hours. Therefore, after we attacked the Japanese and puppet troops in Huaishu Township, we took this path to rush to Xiaoli Village before the vanguard of the Japanese and puppet troops and looked for opportunities to attack them again. Once the Japanese and puppet troops were angry
, they might be introduced to Yangshan by us, but they would never have imagined that after we caused trouble in Xiaoli Village, we would take the mountain road back to Huaishu Village."
Tang Cheng's finger finally landed on the location of the county seat on the map, "This is the county seat. If time allows, I plan to launch an attack on the county seat. The Japanese and puppet troops in the county seat have been dispatched in large numbers. The county seat is the one with the most empty troops. According to me,
It is estimated that among the Japanese and puppet troops left behind in the county, most of them are puppet troops, and the maximum number of Japanese troops is one squad. Excluding the Japanese troops who patrol and guard the city gates on a daily basis, there are at most thirty Japanese troops in the Japanese camp in the county. Although we people
Few, but the chance of attacking the county seat is high!"
"Attack the county town?" Captain Zhang was stunned by Tang Cheng's words. You must know that from the time he formed the guerrillas, he only wanted to protect the villagers in the village. At most, they could attack a few lone Japanese and puppet troops.
, they would not even dare to think about being chased around by the Japanese and puppet troops and attacking the county town. But now, after hearing Tang Cheng’s plan, it seems that it is not impossible to attack the county town. But Captain Zhang thought about it carefully
, the prerequisite for attacking the county town is that the Japanese and puppet troops do not have enough troops left to guard the county town.
"That's right, we need to attack the county town!" Tang Cheng repeated what Captain Zhang just said. The determination in his eyes made Captain Zhang a little overwhelmed. "We must attack the county town, because only by attacking the county town can we attract the large Japanese and puppet troops."
Only with the attention of the Japanese army can we possibly sabotage their suppression operations. The Japanese and puppet soldiers are so numerous that our attack cannot harm them at all. Moreover, according to my understanding of the Japanese army, only by truly provoking them can we find
More opportunities to attack them."
After all, Captain Zhang did not come from a real military background, nor did he receive systematic military training. Tang Cheng showed such confidence, and the villagers had already moved into the mountains. Captain Zhang could only obey Tang Cheng's plan that night.
After receiving the news that the Japanese and puppet troops were about to set off, Tangcheng and the others quietly lurked in Huaishu Township, waiting for the Japanese and puppet troops to appear. The next morning, Tangcheng, who saw the Japanese and puppet troops appearing, behaved unusually calmly.
. He did not order an immediate attack, but instead let go of the vanguard of the Japanese and puppet troops and focused his attention on the rear troops of the Japanese and puppet troops that appeared later.
