Chapter 115 The Proposal of Sparrow Warfare and Landmine Warfare
In the Battle of Dabeigou, more than 30 members of the armed work team were killed and more than 150 villagers of Dabeigou were massacred. Ichiro Hirata used this "result" to save his precarious position as captain of the gendarmerie.

Zhang Dabiao and Ren Zhong received the news and rushed to the scene in anger. After seeing the tragic scene, they both felt like a volcano about to erupt.

According to Zhang Dabiao's temper, he would gather his troops to attack Heyuan City and take revenge!

But after thinking for a long time, Ren Zhong suppressed his thoughts and stopped Zhang Dabiao's restlessness.

On the one hand, the siege weapons were not prepared, and on the other hand, the strategic timing was wrong.

The flying thunder cannon is okay for hitting the watchtower, but it is almost impossible to succeed in front of the flat city gate.

If the independent regiment in Heyuan City concentrates all its strength and builds four 4mm mortars, and uses the mortars in conjunction with the flying thunder cannon, then there will be basically no problem in taking down the city.

However, Zhang Dabiao only has two gasoline barrels of flying thunder cannons in his hands. No matter how many people there are, it is not realistic to attack such a city.

There is nothing that can restrain infantry artillery, and it can’t be defeated even by piling up human lives!
However, it is unrealistic to concentrate the entire strength of the independent regiment at this stage. The plan at the headquarters has begun to take shape. Taking down a county town will inevitably cause great shock to the Japanese. At this stage, Yoshio Shinozuka cannot tolerate the loss of a county town at all costs.

He simply couldn't explain himself to the North China Front Army Headquarters.

This is not a matter of losing a few strongholds.

Although Ichiro Hirata's attack this time was due to the betrayal of a local traitor and ruffian, what was more important was that it gave Ichiro Hirata a godsend opportunity to turn the situation around.

In the Battle of Dabeigou, Ichiro Hirata falsely reported a great victory in which he killed more than one hundred enemies.

As a result, Ichiro Hirata, who had lost bases one after another, became a person who could be saved by the brigade commander Major General Yamada. Ichiro Hirata's stay in Heyuan was very beneficial to the development of Ren Zhong's new base, because the situation of Heyuan's complete collapse was concealed by Ichiro Hirata.

Therefore, temporarily saving Ichiro Hirata's life is strategically beneficial to the development of our army.

Dabeigou.

"It would be a shame if I didn't take revenge, but not now." Ren Zhong said to Zhang Dabiao, who was furious, "We are currently lacking artillery for sieges. Without 82mm mortars to replace the Japanese 92mm infantry guns, our siege will not only cause huge casualties, but we may not even be able to take the city!"

There are still nearly 2,000 Japanese soldiers and puppet troops in the city. The city defenses on all four sides are intact. Attacking such a city is simply crazy.

"We won't give up. When the time is right, we will take it down in one fell swoop and hang Ichiro Hirata on the wall!"

Now Ren Zhong attaches more importance to taking over the areas around Heyuan.

"The communication of the armed work team is too loose, and the combat effectiveness is too weak. Yao Zhihai's armed work team of more than 30 people can't even hold out against a small Japanese squadron for an hour. The strength is too weak." Zhang Dabiao listened to it and twitched his mouth. A small team wants to hold out against a whole squadron. Only Ren Zhong dares to think of such a thing, and there is a way to solve it. Let's not talk about anything else. For example, if the 56 semi-automatic gun is popularized in the armed work team,
"In Heyuan, my idea is to strengthen connections and enhance combat capabilities. Villages should have real-time communication via walkie-talkies or radios to form a network and form a joint defense and joint combat system in the vast rural areas."

Ren Zhong's words were more far-reaching than Zhang Dabiao's.

"The Japanese are using cages, so let's do the opposite and let them know what it means to be in the vast ocean of people's war!"

"We must not only remember the blood feud of the Dabeigou Massacre, but also use it as an opportunity to expose the cruel atrocities of the Japanese devils to the general public. Our organization has taken photos of the scene of the tragedy. I will have people send hundreds of copies of the photos to us. On the one hand, we will publicize them in the Heyuan and Taihang bases, and on the other hand, we will send them to the relevant departments in the border areas to make the latest atrocities of the Japanese devils public across the country!"

Ren Zhong also brought his cell phone to the world of Bright Sword. After the Dabeigou tragedy occurred, Ren Zhong told people not to move first based on the situation at the scene, and he took some time to take pictures of the tragic scene at the entrance of Dabeigou village and at the top of the mountain.

This was the first time that Ren Zhong witnessed the brutality of the Japanese. No one left in Dabeigou, young or old, survived! Yao Zhihai's armed work team fought to the last man, and destroyed a puppet army company and a Japanese squadron!

This was also the reason why the Japanese were not at the scene when Yang Changshun's armed work team arrived. After burning, killing and looting for a while, they hurriedly fled back to the county town.

"Boss Ren, our armed work team is currently only equipped with rifles and pistols. Our firepower is much weaker than that of a Japanese squad. If the Japanese carry out a sweep at the squadron level, even if we occupy advantageous terrain, it will be difficult to withstand the repeated attacks of the Japanese machine guns and grenades." Zhang Dabiao interrupted.

"In terms of firepower, we are definitely not as good as the Japanese for the time being, and there is no way to improve it in the short term." Ren Zhong also wanted to quickly improve the firepower configuration of the independent regiment and even the Eighth Route Army as a whole, but there was really no way. The limit of 60 kilograms of cross-dimensional transportation per day was there.

"But our tactics and methods of attack and defense can be changed," Ren Zhong thought of the many innovations in the people's war, among which the most suitable for the current situation in Heyuan are mine warfare and sparrow warfare!
"For example, before the armed work team makes major changes to its firepower configuration, we can conduct mine warfare and sparrow warfare on a large scale."

The two tactics proposed by Ren Zhong had not yet been implemented on a large scale during this period.

However, the concept of sparrow warfare has been proposed, but there are not many examples of it now, and it has not yet been promoted on a large scale throughout the army.

"What are mine warfare and sparrow warfare?" Zhang Dabiao has been attracted by Ren Zhong. He feels that this young boss is really unfathomable and knowledgeable. Not only is he good at military industry, but he seems to be as knowledgeable as those military masters in fighting wars.

"Let's talk about the sparrow war first. You see, when these sparrows are looking for food, they never fly in groups. Most of them are one or two, three or five, or a dozen. They fly east and west, gather and disperse. They are small targets, fly fast, and move flexibly.

Can the armed work team and guerrillas in our base area be like sparrows, and not fight positional warfare with the superior Japanese invaders, but adapt to local conditions, sometimes disperse into twos and threes, sometimes form groups, and make use of our vast mountains and dense forests, narrow valleys and passes in Taihang to ambush and launch surprise attacks, just like sparrows pecking at food, firing a shot here and a shot there, catching the enemy by surprise, taking advantage of the opportunity to sneak in, and immediately withdraw after a fierce attack, hiding in the mountains and forests to look for new opportunities to fight?

As long as the enemy stops, we will rush over again and harass the Japanese sentries by surprise. If we repeat this process, a team of 20 to 30 people can be divided into 10 teams to harass them continuously, making it impossible for the enemy to attack or catch up with them, and they will not be able to eat well or sleep well. After two or three days, they will become restless and exhausted and have to retreat.

Zhang Dabiao's eyes lit up when he heard this. If they really did as Ren Zhong said, it would not be a big problem for Yao Zhihai's armed work team to hold back Fujino Taro's mopping-up team of several hundred people.

Zhang Dabiao himself is a grassroots commander. He imagined how he would cope with such tactics if he led hundreds of people into the mountains. The end result was that he was unable to cope with it!
If the team is not dispersed, it will always be on the defensive and will not be able to keep up with the flexibility and maneuverability of the opponent who is familiar with the terrain, unless it is divided into small teams. However, if the opponent gathers and ambush after the troops are divided, these small teams will be very dangerous!
Take an armed work team with sufficient ammunition as an example. More than 20 people can fight against a squad of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers. If they have the advantage of terrain, there is a high possibility that they will be defeated directly!
The tactical idea of ​​sparrow warfare proposed by Ren Zhong is promising!
