march to victory

Every good shooter is made of bullets!

Although this statement is not absolute, it is definitely universal.

But this time, the small battle lasted less than 10 minutes. The little devil's arrogance and arrogance were the cause, and Li Jing's indignation because Li Jing was looked down upon was the sudden outbreak point. In the end, the little devil was outnumbered and voluntarily retreated. And in the end, the result fully proved this point: the importance of bullets!

Of the 36 little devils in total, nine were killed and seven were injured.

According to statistics after the war, five of the nine little devils were killed by sharpshooters, and two were killed by machine gunners.Four of the seven little devils who were injured were beaten by sharpshooters.

Li Jing had to sigh: the chain reaction brought about by the lack of neutron bullets in the usual training was vividly reflected at this moment.But, what can I do?No matter how poor the Eighth Route Army is, almost all weapons are obtained by capturing the battlefield.

However, what made Li Jing feel gratified was that it was precisely because of his foresighted order that only one soldier died on his side, and no one was injured... The soldier who died could only be said to be too unlucky.He was not hit directly by the bullet, but because the bullet hit the marble beside him, rebounded into his temple, and died on the spot.

For this situation, Li Jing was also very helpless, and had to order that the martyr should be properly buried.At the same time, he also issued another order: let people write down the names, positions, and addresses of everyone in this battle. After the little devils are beaten away, a monument to the martyrs must be built here, whether it is sacrificed or not. Those who are alive, as long as they participated in this battle, must be inscribed on the monument.

Maybe this was done on purpose by Li Jing, or maybe it was just because he wanted future generations to remember this battle and the participants in this battle, but what he never expected was that such an order, but The morale has been greatly improved, and the fighting power has been condensed to an unprecedented level... Especially the line of "anyone who participates will be recorded on the monument", let the soldiers and the common people see the hope of immortality, so they all want to Be good, don't want to be etched on a monument for being weak or whatever.

"Pass me an order, let the soldiers repair well, eat what they should eat, drink what they should drink, but don't walk around casually, try to conserve energy, the main force of the little devils may arrive at any time."

After giving this order, Li Jing didn't know what to do for a while: go out for a walk, boost morale?Although this is good, the little devil on the opposite side is definitely not reconciled to failure, and will definitely send snipers ready to snipe and kill the people on his side. Moreover, God knows when the main force of the little devil will arrive. And I happened to be in a place where there was no shelter, so it would be troublesome-my sacrifice is small, the key is that there are so many horses and no one takes the lead, isn't it a mess?For the next overall situation, there will definitely be a direct impact.

Therefore, Li Jing couldn't walk around casually, so he could only rest in the main castle.

For some reason, Li Jing suddenly thought of something, quickly finished the sweet potatoes in his hands, clapped his hands and ran to the back of the main castle to look into the village down the mountain, and saw that the villagers were moving, but nearly half of the villagers hadn't left yet. village.He quickly ordered to the messenger: "Go down the mountain immediately, find the squadron leader Ma Hongxin of the militia squadron, and tell him loudly that we want to buy five coffins from the villagers. If he asks you why? Just say, the battle just now, Five of our comrades died in battle..."

Speaking of this, Li Jing hesitated for a moment, and added: "At the same time, you must also tell everyone that we killed nine little devils and wounded seven little devils... Do you understand what I mean?"

The messenger shook his head directly.

"The meaning is very simple. No matter what method you use, you must try to appear as natural as possible. The purpose is to tell the villagers that in order to protect them, we have just come into contact with little devils. Although we killed more little devils, we also have some comrades who sacrificed their lives." Yes. The purpose is to tell the village name that we comrades are all sacrificed to protect them... We must also gain further favor from the villagers as soon as possible, so that we can gain greater support and more trust from the village name in the future. The layout... so, do you understand?"

"understood."

"Well, hurry up. Remember, you must tell the villagers in front of the villagers, and don't spread the news secretly in private."

"Yes!"

Perhaps, in the eyes of some people, Li Jing did this with an absolute purpose, which is inconsistent with the central idea of ​​helping the people unconditionally in order to gain the people's trust and support in the Eighth Route Army's military regulations. No matter what method he uses, as long as he can gain the trust and support of the people as quickly as possible without violating the general principle, he can do everything he can.

And Li Jing's ultimate goal is to drive away the little devil as soon as possible and complete the task.And the support of the people is his solid backing. Therefore, this backing must not only be available, but also must be fast, and the backing must not be messed up.

From this point of view, although Li Jing's method is a bit unkind and seems a bit eager for quick success, but the purpose is understandable... To be fair, there is no way around it.Only by letting the villagers feel that the Eighth Route Army is really protecting them and would rather shed their own blood than let them suffer a little bit of harm, can they gain the strong support and support of the people, and can they have a mass base and let go The little devil fought desperately.

The result was exactly as Li Jing thought. The people heard that Li Jing and the others fought desperately with the little devils in order to protect the people and give the people maximum time to transfer safely. They sacrificed five people in just one meeting. They couldn't believe it, but they were completely moved.

People's hearts are fleshy: if you treat them well, they will naturally repay you with hundreds of times and thousands of kindness.If you treat them badly, they will repay you with hundreds of times and thousands of times of badness. At the same time, people's hearts are also a scale. They know who is good to them and who is bad to them.At most, it's just the fear caused by lack of strength, let them temporarily hide the anger in their hearts, just wait for a shout, and then rush forward to fight you desperately.

This is probably what the old saying goes, 'You treat the people like nothing, and the people regard you as a bandit. '

If it weren't for the orderly soldiers, Ma Hongxin and others who tried their best to appease them, many people would have gone back on the spot. This one said that he would open the family's granary and donate all of it to the assault regiment; Fighting devils; some people suggested that everyone should not leave at all, and kill devils with Commander Li and the others...

Hearing these answers, Li Jing smiled with satisfaction, because he understood that with this scene, from this moment on, even if Ma Hongji turned his back on him and tried to drive him out of the village, it would be impossible.On the contrary, if Ma Hongji dared to do this, Li Jing would have enough reasons and supporters to take the opportunity to kill Ma Hongji.And all of this is only because of the support of the people.

That's enough, isn't it?

This group of little devils, who were obviously coming towards Li Jing and the others, marched very fast, and it was only about 10 minutes away from meeting the forward.Almost when Li Jing was watching the messenger preaching what he had just ordered among the villagers, the main force of the little devils arrived.

In Li Jing's experience, the little devil has always been arrogant and arrogant, and he didn't take the Eighth Route Army seriously.

Now, nearly half of the little devils' forwards were killed and injured. How can the little devils stand this useless air?Come to think of it, after the little devil's main force arrived, even if he didn't send troops to attack directly, he would definitely order the artillery to bombard this side for a while, so as to show the little devil's arrogance.

However, what Li Jing never imagined was that these little devils did not know what was going on. Although they came up, not only did they not send troops to attack, nor did they directly fire guns to show their power. Instead, they hid behind the opposite hill , secretly observing this side.Even, through the telescope, Li Jing could vaguely see that the little devil was in a shrinking position under his condescending observation.

This is absolutely different from the little devil's always arrogant and arrogant personality, which makes people puzzled.

However, since he couldn't figure it out, Li Jing didn't bother to think about it without any evidence.Anyway, he only insisted on one point: no matter what methods you use, but I have only one thing: everything will remain the same - I will hide on this commanding height and see what you can do.

At the same time, he was still looking forward to it, hoping that the little devil would delay as long as possible, and it would be best to wait until all the villagers were safely and smoothly transferred to the designated location.That way, Li Jing and the others will have no scruples and wholeheartedly fight the little devil.

Of course, although he couldn't guess why the little devil suddenly behaved like this, Li Jing understood: there must be a demon in the abnormality!

Naturally, it is impossible to defend passively—he can hide on this commanding height, but who can guarantee that the little devil didn't deliberately set up a ecstasy formation with him, in order to attract his main energy, and secretly dispatch troops Attack the village from another place?Especially if the villagers ambushed halfway through the transfer, it would be a big trouble.

Therefore, Li Jing asked the semaphore soldiers to stand on the cliff behind the main castle, and issued an order to the people in the other three directions through the semaphore: Immediately send a second batch of investigators to search forward in a fan shape in their respective directions. Search six miles outward.At the same time, send out sentries and place them five miles away in their respective directions to ensure that everyone has time to prepare and counterattack if there is an attack by the little devils in their respective directions.

Li Jing did this out of safety considerations, and at the same time, he seemed to have discovered something in his heart, but he couldn't tell the specifics.

However, what he didn't expect was that the effect of this move was really huge.Or to put it more bluntly, the investigation results sent back made him immediately understand why the little devil in front of him had such a weird behavior.

It turned out that the little devil was really playing tricks with him...
