Chapter 212: Strategy Against the Enemy
The wrong entry and exit are wrong, and unexpected events lead to unexpected results. Land mines actually put more psychological pressure on the enemy than standard mines, which Meng Youtian did not expect.
Land mines are generally large and loud, and the huge black smoke appears during explosions, which can easily cause people to have an illusion that the mines are very powerful. In addition, because the land mine explosion is uneven, each shrapnel is much larger than the standard lightning, which is not smaller and even like the standard lightning shrapnel. Therefore, although the lethality of the land mine is limited, once it hits the human body, the wounds are particularly large. At the same time, due to the slow speed of the shrapnel, it is difficult to cause penetration injuries, which will cause great damage to the skin, muscles, and bones, and the injured are very painful.
After listening to Xiaoquan's story, Meng Youtian couldn't help but feel a little funny. When it comes to the quality of land mines, he has always been very dissatisfied. Some land mines have only one to one, which means that one land mine can kill and injure an enemy, but he didn't expect such an effect. Of course, this also made him very pleased. The more afraid the enemy is, the more important the promotion of land mine warfare is, the less lethal it is, it is not enough. Anyway, you can win with quantity.
"Although we don't know much about the situation in the enemy-occupied areas now, it may not be very bad. Many authentic tunnels in villages are already small in scale, which is a favorable condition in itself." Xiaoquan's mind has not completely changed, and he emphasized the favorable factor of authentic tunnels.
Meng Youtian smiled faintly. He did not entangle him on this issue. Who is right and who is wrong is a matter of opinion. The guerrillas may not be able to gain a foothold even if they advance behind enemy lines. The corresponding strategies and tactics were well mastered by the guerrillas before. Compared with the armed forces, they were just a poor name and a little publicity work.
In fact, Meng You emphasized waiting, and some people were worried about the safety of Xiaoquan and others. The more they waited, the more favorable the situation and the higher the safety, which was foreseeable.
Gangcun Ningji launched a large-scale mobilization in various regions of North China. Not only the Eighth Route Army, Taiyue, central Hebei, southern Hebei, western Shandong, eastern Henan, and northern Henan suffered heavy losses. For example, the 39th Army of the Kuomintang in southern Hebei was also disbanded, and Commander Gao Shuxun fled the Yellow River with the New Eighth Army and the remnants of the Sixty-Nine Army, and ran to the rear to hide.
Relatively speaking, Gao Shuxun was still good. More Kuomintang troops chose to surrender in front of Gangcun Ningji. Sun Liangcheng, Wu Huawen, Pang Bingxun, Zhao Yunxiang, Sun Yutian, Rong Ziheng, Sun Dianying, Du Shu and others in North China, all became traitors. Since then, there have been basically no regular ** troops on the battlefield behind enemy lines in Hebei. The puppet army suddenly expanded and became the main force for the Japanese army to mobilize troops to reinforce Nanyang.
Fighting the puppet army is always easier than fighting the Japanese. Fighting the new Japanese recruits is always easier than fighting the old Japanese. This is the benefit of waiting. But this benefit cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Once deeper things are involved, Meng Youtian will definitely be reserved, afraid that others will doubt himself because of this.
"The Japanese used poison gas bombs in Tumen Village. This is a very important issue." Meng Youtian changed the topic and reminded Xiaoquan, "We must be particularly vigilant to reflect this matter to our superiors and then convey it to other combat troops."
"We must be vigilant. This is the first time that the Japanese used poison gas bombs to attack in this area, and it will never be the last time." Xiao Quan frowned and said worriedly: "The tunnels in other villages are obviously not doing enough in terms of virus prevention. If the tunnels are used as places for mass shelter, there may be big problems."
Beitong Massacre - These four words popped up in Meng Youtian's mind. Although there are many reasons, the most fundamental reason is that he is not vigilant, thinking that the authenticity will be scaled and anti-virus measures are not in place. Grassroots cadres should bear important responsibilities and fail to actively urge the masses to transform the authenticity. Especially when local road transformation and busy farming competitions and time, a considerable number of rural cadres and farmers still fail to put safety work first, and they still have a fluke mentality.
"The authenticity of Tumen Village, Shili Village and Lianggang Village is pretty good. I have seen it with my own eyes, but I don't know much about other villages." Meng Youtian said: "I'm afraid you don't know more detailed situations. Only the cadres of each village know the most."
"This is, what I have seen are some villages, but it is enough to make people wary." Xiaoquan nodded and said, "In fact, it is not only authentic, but also closely monitored and prevented when fighting in the wild."
"So we have to deal with the enemy in a village with good foundation." Meng Youtian cleverly continued to stick to his judgment. "Relying on the authentic facilities of Shili Village and Tumen Village, how much advantage have we gained in these battles? If we change places, it will not be so easy."
Xiaoquan looked up at Meng Youtian and smiled and said, "There is still Lianggang Village that has not been used. Are you making this idea?"
"Absolutely." Meng Youtian nodded and said, "From the terrain and location, Lianggangzhuang is more superior than Tumen Village, and is also the place that is most promising to be restored and most likely to be occupied by us for a long time. It can form a two-pole battle with Tumen Village, causing the enemy to lose sight of one thing and be mobilized back and forth."
"From the geographical point of view, this is indeed the case." Xiao Quan agreed: "It's just that our combat personnel are insufficient, so I'm afraid that this effect will not be achieved."
"The shortage of combat personnel is just a superficial phenomenon, and this can be solved." Meng Youtian analyzed with his finger: "The enemy's blockade in the mountains has been loosened, or most of it has been lifted, and there is no force to launch military operations in the mountains in a short period of time. The armed personnel who serve as the guard and protect cadres and masses can be liberated. In other villages, such as Kangjiazhai, Xiaolouzhuang and other places, militia and masses have also entered the mountains to hide. If they can be found and joined with them, they can increase the team of at least 180 people, right?"
"The personnel can be replenished, but the combat capability is difficult to improve at once. If Li Tie and Xiao Zhao and his team were able to return to the team after recovering from injury, it would be of great help." Xiao Quan was not optimistic about this. He glanced at the personnel next to another fire with a pointing finger. Most of them were newly joined civil servants, and their combat power was really unreassuring.
"The enemy doesn't know this." Meng Youtian said with a smile: "It's always a good thing if there are too many guns. You can bluff and squads to harass the enemy, making the enemy confused."
