The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 499
How to toss little devils in various ways and cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to fight against Japan under the eyes of the devils and puppet troops. This is the great wisdom accumulated by the simple but honest Chinese farmers in the difficult environment behind the enemy's rear.

It is by no means an exception for the old village chief to let devil dogs bite dogs and indirectly deliver anti-Japanese rations under the pretext of attacking from the Eight Routes.

It can be said to be just a microcosm.

In the vast rural areas behind the enemy, the common people used this method to silently fight the arduous and outstanding struggle against the Japanese aggressors.

……

……

On the other hand, since the outbreak of the Battle of Jinnan on the [-]th.

The Japanese army suppressed the border and launched a fierce attack on the Zhongtiao Mountain area from the east, north, and west directions at the same time.

In terms of the national army, many brave and patriotic officers and soldiers resisted tenaciously, but the enemy was strong and we were weak, and they were still retreating steadily.

It's summer, and the fierce battle in the Zhongtiao Mountain area is full of blood, but it is bleak and cold.

By the [-]th, the positions on the west side of Zhongtiao Mountain were successively broken by the Japanese army.

On the [-]th, the Japanese army continued to break through the defensive positions of the national army, and quickly occupied and controlled various ferries on the north bank of the Yellow River.

On the [-]th, the defense area on the north side of Zhongtiao Mountain basically fell.

The war developed rapidly, and the Japanese army's offensive became more and more fierce. In less than half a month, the overall defense carefully deployed by the national army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area was already riddled with holes.

All the ministries who crossed the Yellow River retreated in a hurry, and retreated in a hurry; because many ferries on the Yellow River were occupied by the Japanese army, those who had no time to retreat continued to retreat near the Taiyue Mountains, and those who persisted in resisting guerrilla warfare continued to fight guerrillas.

The Zhongtiao Mountains are long and narrow from east to west, but broad in depth from north to south. After basically defeating the frontal national army positions and forcing the main force of the national army to retreat, the Japanese army still stubbornly resisted and persisted in guerrilla operations from the north to the south. The remnants of the national army carried out a comb-like sweep back and forth.

The majestic Taiyue Mountain is also a famous mountain in the Three Jin Dynasties.

Its appearance is full of peaks and ridges, meandering and stretching, towering into the clouds, and towering above the sky.

It is titled Taihang in the northeast and Zhongtiao Mountain in the south.

At the beginning of June, in a certain forest in the Taiyue Mountains, with the general appearance of the whole mountain range, it was quiet everywhere, and even the sound of birdsong was rarely heard.

The battles that broke out in the Zhongtiao Mountain area one after another seemed to frighten even the birds and beasts, and they flew away from their homeland one after another.

In the quiet mountain forest, at first glance, it seems that there are only towering green and green trees, and the shrubs and weeds after summer have already sprouted green and are lush.

At this moment, in a corner of the forest, if you look carefully, in the interior covered by vines and dead branches, there is a pair of round eyes, and the eyeballs are rolling around.

He moved his body, and his whole appearance immediately appeared. He was actually a young man wearing a shabby Eighth Route Army uniform, covered with vines and green branches. If he didn't move, he would almost blend in with the surrounding environment.

A low voice came from beside him, "Deputy company commander..."

"Why are you talking so badly, boy? You have to add a deputy, can you just call the company commander?"

The guy who looks young, but because he hasn't combed for many days, his hair is a bit messy, and his face is also covered with dust, cursed in a low voice.

"Why, the company commander of the shouting company owes you? Tell you boy, before we came to Zhongtiao Mountain this time, the head of the group promised me. After a year, look at the development of our mountain company. If I give the head Pull out a battalion, the head of the regiment asked me to be the company commander, if I pull out a regiment, the head of the regiment asked me to be the battalion commander, if we can pull out a brigade, hehe... Tell you boy, your name is a company commander, We are not rare."

But he said that this young man was precisely Kong Jie who had been dispatched to fight guerrilla warfare near Zhongtiao Mountain long before the outbreak of the Jinnan Campaign. Han Feng, the former deputy company commander of the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment, was nicknamed Crazy Han.

Introduced earlier:
Han Feng, Deputy Company Commander of the Third Battalion of the Independence Regiment, joined the army at the end of 26 (never experienced the Long March). He is [-] years old this year. His ancestors were hunters. He learned to hunt since he was a child. He personally killed three devils on the first battlefield.

At the beginning of [-], Han Feng's company encountered Japanese troops and suffered heavy casualties. Only three people in his third squad were killed. After the battle, Han Feng was promoted to the squad leader of the third squad.

In the summer of [-], Han Feng, who was only a squad leader, abducted the company's cooking squad, disguised himself as a cook, sneaked into Ankang Town, poisoned dozens of Japanese officers who were holding a banquet in a restaurant, and sent them from the county town. Defrauded the grain of the three-horse cart.

The soldiers of the whole company were hungry all day. After Han Feng led the team back, he was severely scolded by the company commander, and was promoted to deputy platoon leader the next day.

At the beginning of 30, he was promoted to platoon leader. In an ambush, Han Feng led a platoon of soldiers to defeat a company of the North China Security Army, and led three soldiers to chase the puppet army of nearly [-] numbers. They chased for five or six miles in one breath. Road, and then more than [-] people were captured and returned. They became famous in the first battle and got a nickname called Crazy Han.

He will make meritorious service in every battle, and was promoted to deputy company commander in [-].

It turned out that as early as a month before the outbreak of the Jinnan Campaign, a company from the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment, led by the three company commanders Han Feng, Zhang Min, and Du Zhongcheng, had a team of [-] soldiers. The rest of them rushed to the vicinity of Zhongtiao Mountain.

It's just that the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain hadn't started yet.

After all, the Zhongtiao Mountain area is the territory of the national army. The three company commanders, including Kong Jie, considered that entering rashly would cause unnecessary friction, so they have been active in the vicinity of Taiyue Mountain.

With the relatively sufficient rations taken from the logistics department when they set off, coupled with the good reputation of the Eighth Route Army and the willingness of the local people to help, Han Feng and his party quickly gained a firm foothold.

Before the outbreak of the Jinnan Campaign, Han Feng and his party had been familiarizing themselves with all aspects of the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

From the troops stationed by all parties, the complicated relationship with each other, to the distribution of villages, the topography of Zhongtiao Mountain, and so on.

During this period, the soldiers of the Mountain Company quickly adapted to the environment, and helped the nearby people suppress bandits everywhere. On the one hand, they quickly gained the trust of the local people. provide a guarantee of survival.

In addition, several mountain companies will often ambush some Japanese and puppet troops who have entered the vicinity of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Soon it became an Eighth Route Army guerrilla unit operating near the Taiyue Mountains.

Of course, considering the teams of the three companies, it is difficult to feed more than 400 people together. According to the meaning of the three company commanders Han Feng, Zhang Min, and Du Zhongcheng, the mountain companies are divided into platoons, and the platoons are used as combat units. In guerrilla warfare, when concentrated operations are required, regroup.

Just like that, time passed quickly, and the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan broke out soon.

The defeat of the national army was beyond the imagination of Han Feng and the others.

With many ferries on the north bank of the Yellow River occupied by the Japanese army, the defeated national army began to break out of the siege near Taiyue Mountain and Luliang Mountain.

Han Feng and his party were officially affected and shrouded by the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Of course, this was originally the purpose of Kong Jie and his party coming to Zhongtiao Mountain. The three company commanders were naturally fearless and had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

However, the troops of the national army who retreated from the main theater of Zhongtiao Mountain to the Taiyue Mountain area were unable to cross the Yellow River South, so they stayed near the Taiyue Mountain Area. They used the terrain to deal with the Japanese army, and also learned the tactics of the Eighth Route Army. Guerrilla warfare started.

In the following time, the mountain company led by Han Feng and others, and the national army troops who stayed in the mountain area to conduct guerrilla warfare against the Japanese army, the two sides did not meet formally, but they knew each other's existence from afar, and the two sides jointly dealt with the devils .

Occasionally, there will be tacit joint combat situations.

For example, the national army ambushed the Japanese army, and the escaped troops of the Japanese army would be ambushed by the mountain company led by Han Feng and others.

Han Feng and the others also led troops to support some national army troops besieged by the Japanese army.

But from the beginning to the end, Han Feng has always advocated avoiding direct encounters with troops from the national army.

Even if he indirectly united with the national army to destroy a small group of Japanese troops and quickly seized the weapons, Han Feng would immediately order to evacuate.

Every time I leave after fighting, I can help, or I can indirectly join forces, but I just don’t meet.

For this reason, Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng were a little puzzled.

"Old Han, before you came here, you also said that according to our plan this time, we will fight guerrilla warfare in the Zhongtiao Mountain area. If the situation permits, we can also join forces with the national army troops who stay in the mountain area to fight guerrilla warfare.

But why have you always been taboo towards the national army and never met them? "

Zhang Min raised doubts in his heart. Of course, although he didn't understand, the three mountain companies had always advanced and retreated together. Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng listened to Han Feng's suggestion and took the initiative to avoid contact with the national army.

Du Zhongcheng didn't know much about this, and looked at Han Feng as well.

Han Feng explained: "Sometimes teammates who are like pigs are more terrifying than opponents who are like gods.

We can fight jointly with some guerrilla units of the national army, but before that, I need to allow time to investigate them. "

"What do you mean?"

"I have to make sure that they are reliable comrades-in-arms, and I have to guarantee that after joining forces with them, I won't be dragged down to death by them."

At this moment, Han Feng's eyes were sly like an old wolf's.

Wolves do not choose their partners at random.

"But how do we investigate specifically?" Du Zhongcheng asked.

Han Feng said: "It's very simple. Observe them from a distance, see how they conduct guerrilla warfare, see how they contact the people, and see what kind of team they really are."

"If this is really a team to fight devils, I would never mind joining forces with them."

"I'm afraid of cooperating rashly. We are busy fighting devils in the front, and we have to prevent being stabbed by our own people in the back."

After Han Feng's words were explained, Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng also expressed their understanding. The three of them made up their minds to inspect the guerrilla troops of the surrounding national army first.

Soon, Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng realized how prescient Han Feng was.

Not long after, a national army unit that was still under observation by Han Feng and the others, with the strength of about two battalions, launched an attack on a unit swept by the Japanese army, apparently in guerrilla warfare.

Then, Han Feng and the three who sent scouts to investigate the news secretly were stunned.

Good guy, how can this be guerrilla warfare?
It's nothing more than losing the advantage of ambush with a blind attack.

These national army units, which were originally fighting guerrilla warfare, were fighting for every inch of land. Some positions were obviously worthless to hold on to, but they had to shout something to vow to live and die with the positions.

As a result, after the fight to the rear, the troops retreated steadily, unable to win or escape.

The officers and soldiers of the national army who vowed to live and die with the common ground, after being quickly surrounded by the Japanese army, thought they were all heroes, and then many of them surrendered one after another.

Even turning around and changing into dog skins, he became a puppet army who betrayed his teammates and led the devils to continue their raids.

The follow-up battle became more and more involved. Many guerrilla troops of the national army around heard the news and rushed to support. The original small-scale battle quickly turned into a large-scale battle.

The fighting continued until the second day, and less than [-]% of the guerrilla units of the national army that were originally active in the surrounding areas remained.

"Stupid, this battle made them too stupid. The Japanese army swept over this time. There were not many troops in the vanguard. It was obviously a bait. These national troops were stupid enough to bite the bait by themselves. Such a big gap, originally casually Then you can break out."

Zhang Min, who wanted to save people but was helpless, couldn't help but curse.

Du Zhongcheng was also speechless, "Old Han, it seems that you are right now. These national troops don't understand what guerrilla warfare is at all. It seems that they regard guerrilla warfare as regular warfare."

"You have a lot of ghost ideas, what should we do next?"

Han Feng did not expect these national troops to wage guerrilla warfare so fiercely.

He called himself a lunatic Han, but he didn't dare to be so crazy.

How can this be guerrilla warfare? This is obviously courting death. As soon as the devils sweep over, they will jump out and take the initiative to attack. I'm afraid the little devils don't know where you are hiding?
With a wry smile, Han Feng said: "There is nothing we can do now, prepare to save someone!
Of course, the premise is to ensure that we can evacuate smoothly.

As for the rescued national army soldiers, it depends on their own wishes, let them go if they are willing to leave, and let them go if they are willing to join our team, then stay and follow us to fight guerrilla warfare. "

"Good!" Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng responded.

Following this line of thought, Han Feng and the others rescued some national army soldiers sporadically. Some of these rescued national army soldiers expressed that they would go to the army, while others were willing to stay and join the mountain company.

In the next contact with these national army soldiers who joined the mountain company, the three of Han Feng knew how outrageous these so-called national army guerrillas were.

In addition to like to attack blindly, always like to fight with large corps, fighting for every inch of land, and constantly being defeated.

These guys do not have a unified command, and the guerrillas basically fight independently without any connection.

In addition, these national army guerrillas were not as polite as the Eighth Route Army when dealing with the people behind the enemy lines.

The guerrillas were hungry and ran out of food. When they saw a village, they would control them and rob them as soon as they entered the village. They were just like bandits.

Faced with the angry scolding of the people, the officers of the National Army reprimanded loudly:
We put our heads on our trouser belts to beat the devils on the front line, what if we eat some of your food?No matter how long-winded you are, no one cares about you when the little devil comes over.

Therefore, guerrillas of the national army, or guerrillas wearing national army uniforms, often do not get the active support of the people whenever they appear.

Because of this, Han Feng and others even had to do ideological work for some national army officers and soldiers who joined the mountain company, so that they could completely transform into the role of the Eighth Route Army, correctly understand how to conduct guerrilla warfare, and how to deal with the relationship with the people. relationship between.

Time passed so quickly.

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we disturb; when the enemy is tired, we fight; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.

The sixteen-character guerrilla warfare policy was fully used by Han Feng and his party. Facing the Japanese army's comb-like sweeps back and forth again and again, the mountain company can always skillfully jump over the devil's encirclement, survive in the cracks, and constantly harass the enemy. The enemy, and absorbed some remnants of the national army guerrillas along the way, and gradually grew stronger...
