The temporary garrison of the regiment was a last resort. He led the Japanese in the nose and walked around the mountains for five or six days. Every day, he fought with the Japanese in the fight, and the fewer people fought. The more the regiment commander fought, the more he became more and more heart-wrenching. Fortunately, he completed the task of restraining the enemy.

If the Japanese had not had the good guns, bullets, grenade launchers, and many troops, and well-trained, in the mountains familiar to the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese were taking advantage of their power, and the Japanese were no match for the Eighth Route Army at all!

In a dilapidated tent, under a dim oil lamp, four people were turning around several grenade ammunition boxes and piled into temporary tables with uneven work, and were having a meeting.

"Comrade Su Qing, our regiment is far away from the enemy-occupied area, but it protects the mountain passage east and southeast of the division headquarters, and the task is heavy..."

"Our defense zone only enters the mountain pass from the east to the division headquarters. Outside the mountain to the east is the Sixth Division Defense Zone, and the south is the independent regiment defense on the front line. Although most of our defense zones are in the base area, this is not a reason for the intelligence work not to be carried out." Su Qing frowned: "So, I think this is not an excuse for supplementing intelligence work to rely entirely on the reporting of the troops. We should know the importance of intelligence work. That is our eyes. Without intelligence, we are blind!"

"Don't we have soldiers who are sending my brother's information? Can't we just use them to form it?"

"So we need to change passive transmission and become active collection. In addition to soldiers, we also allow the people to participate in the work of defending the base."

"There is an independent regiment in the south and six divisions in the east. There is not even a single security army in our garrison. Where can we collect enemy intelligence?

The first battalion commander felt that it was a bit of a big deal: "Our regiment is in the hinterland of the base area. Even if the Japanese get information to sweep the enemy, they have to pass the sixth division in the east and the independent regiment defense zone in the south. Besides, our troops themselves are scattered everywhere. What kind of Japanese can respect them?"

"Suppose there is a spy, we have no precautions at all! Just like this time, the Japanese attacked at the doorstep and we started to prepare. If it was just our troops that had little impact, but how would they face the masses?"

"Most of the soldiers in our supplementary regiment are Shanli kids, so how could there be spies?" The first battalion commander was puzzled.

"What if someone comes out of the mountain and is arrested and convicted? What if someone has a relative outside the mountain and is used by the enemy to threaten the soldiers or villagers?"

"Uh, what you said makes sense. No need to discuss it anymore, just do what you said!" The leader of the group made the final decision.

"I think that we should first establish an intelligence exchange system with the independent regiment and the sixth division, and then gradually develop our underground intelligence system in each township and village. If the situation is sufficient, go east and south, and put some eyewitness into the county town, we must also need strong support from the regiment headquarters and battalions and companies." Su Qing made a plan with a expressionless face.

"Director Su, you're right. I'm right. There's no problem with fighting the Japanese. I don't understand what you said. You'll be responsible for this matter. If I need my cooperation, we will do our best to support it!" The leader felt that this method was good. He didn't understand it before, but this time the division finally transferred someone to come.

"Okay, I ask you to draw a group of old soldiers, and then develop some advanced ideological elements from the people, and carry out independent intelligence work after my training!" Su Qing raised his request.

"The people in our base areas are all concerned about the Eighth Route Army! There must be no problem. Just do it like this, draw a squad in each battalion, and it's decided!" The regiment commander stopped talking about intelligence and turned to another question: "Now we are discussing how to deal with ghosts and protect the people entering the mountains..."

"?"

The next discussion is what the battalion commanders like. As for how to fight guerrillas with the Japanese in the mountains, lead the Japanese in the mountains, and express their opinions.

Su Qing listened to the enthusiastic discussions of the comrades in the new environment and slowly got out of his mind.

This is the longest march since participating in the Eighth Route Army. When I left the wine station with the investigation team and went to the division headquarters for review, it was not a big deal. If I didn’t say that Hu Yi was my lover, I might not have anything to do, but I was a loyal soldier in the organization and could not tolerate myself violating the regulations.

The 8528th Army stipulates that soldiers are not allowed to fall in love. Neither Hu nor Hu Yi meets the conditions. Moreover, Hu Yi is a little cold at first, and his enlightenment is not even qualified to join the party, which may have met his expectations for heroes.

Unexpectedly, after parting with the Independent Group, I just arrived at the supplementary group, and I met the Independent Group and was chased into the mountain by the Japanese.

That guy didn't know his situation and went to the division headquarters. There is no need to guess what the purpose was.

I pulled my thoughts back and said how to ensure the supply of food after organizing the people to transfer and enter the barren mountain.

"The devils are now behind the valley. If we pull them eastward, we will leave the mountain area for another day. The reconnaissance soldiers came back and reported that there was a brigade of Japanese at the mountain pass. The Sixth Division had been entangled with Japanese on the way into the mountain. The battle was very difficult. The plains were full of Japanese rushing. The people were not relocating in time and were harmed by Japanese a lot!" The second battalion commander was responsible for the eastward area of ​​the mountain area, and the soldiers came with intelligence.

"If we go east, although we can join the troops of the Sixth Division, it doesn't make much sense, so I suggest going south."

"You have a bad idea. The Japanese obviously want to go to the division headquarters. Do you think he will follow you south?"

"Didn't the militia bring news? The division headquarters has been transferred long ago, and a large number of Japanese are searching. We can't play much role even if we go. Now is the time to bite a piece of meat from the Japanese. "

"I also think that the division headquarters said that a large number of Japanese soldiers entered the mountain in the north, and these Japanese failed to arrive at the division headquarters on time. Our mission had been completed long ago, and the Japanese would definitely hate us to the core. Therefore, I think if we go south, the Japanese would probably catch up!"

......

Su Qing is not very good at fighting arrangements, so she wisely did not speak, and of course she didn't care. She was a political cadre!

Some soldiers and militiamen led the people north to the mountainous areas, and the large troops of the supplementary regiment led the Japanese to the east, which was already far away. Although the Japanese were still hanging behind them, in the mountains, the Eighth Route Army would be invincible as long as they were not surrounded.

The reconnaissance soldiers found that the vanguards had appeared in the west, and militias in the mountains stood guard everywhere on the hills and could find the Japanese from afar. Therefore, it was quite easy for the supplementary regiment to fight the Japanese in the mountains.

The situation was unknown when we went north to reinforce the independent regiment at the headquarters.

The leader actually regretted it a little. Logically, he was closer to the headquarters, but instead let the independent group in the south go to the north. Thinking about it, he was familiar with this mountainous area and felt relieved. If he went to reinforce, he would be unfamiliar with the north. Instead, he would make the right decision to let the independent group go and deal with ghosts on his own territory, which would have greater strategic significance.

The people who are covering now have been safely transferred and have been leading the Japanese in the familiar places. At least, no Japanese who came from the south could sweep the division headquarters.

The Sixth Division also made great efforts. The Japanese who entered the mountain in the east were blocked by them for more than ten days and attacked them all the way, but the Japanese were unable to encircle the division headquarters.

Before the sweep, the current location was at the edge of the northern friendly Beishan regiment and the supplementary regiment defense zone.

There were many routes for the Japanese to sweep the mountain from the east, but the main road was blocked by the Sixth Division Gang. The Beishan Regiment Defense Zone also had militias and small units of the Sixth Division defending, dealing with the Japanese on some small paths entering the mountain.

The blockade line established by the Japanese at the mountain pass blocked the troops from the plains into the mountains to reinforce, forming a super large group circle along the foot of the Taihang Mountains. However, the encirclement was too large. With the little force of the Japanese, they could only run around in the mountains after entering the mountain. Once the food supply was not enough, the Japanese retreated for only a few days.

Instead, many vacuum areas were formed. The Eighth Route Army had ordinary people standing guard and could attack the Japanese's transit station at any time!

Of course, if we can converge with the sixth division to the east, break through the blockade line, and move into the enemy-occupied area with shortage of soldiers and major generals, we will have a better chance of taking advantage of the situation.

Most of the Japanese troops were drawn into the mountains to sweep the mountain, so there must be even fewer Japanese in the enemy-occupied area, and the regiment commander suppressed the tempting ideas.

Even if you can fight those security troops on the plains, no matter how great the results you achieve, it will not be of great significance. What you lack the most in the mountains now is combat power.
