Chapter 77 Retaliation
The second day after the arms robbery was Gao Shenxing's half-month period agreed upon, and He Keqi decided to organize a live-fire shooting.
In the past, this was something that I couldn't even imagine. The guerrilla bullets were really more expensive than gold. How could it be used to shoot live ammunition? But now it's very different. I took the train the night before yesterday, and the guerrillas not only robbed the guns and ammunition that were enough to arm the two and a half battalions, but also had a large number of grenades, explosives and bullets.
He Keqi, Hu Zhijing, Liu Chang and Yin Shangwen got up early and arrived at the drying ground early.
However, Gao Shenxing was earlier, and more than 100 guerrillas had already completed the training in line according to their usual training.
He Keqi's guerrillas were originally a water bandit active on the water surface of the Yangtze River, with more than a dozen people and guns. Later, they were subdued by Hu Zhijing alone. The Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee gave him a water guerrilla number, which belonged to a company-level combat unit. The water bandit leader He Keqi became the captain, and Hu Zhijing became the party representative.
However, the reorganization of the New Fourth Army has begun. Although the water guerrillas have not been to southern Anhui, they are also among the reorganizations. He Keqi will soon become the captain of the Southern Jiangsu Independent Brigade, and Hu Zhijing will also be the political commissar of the brigade. This is also the reason why Hu Zhijing is eager to recruit the leopard, because the guerrillas' strength is too thin.
Looking at the army's cleansing queue in front of him, He Keqi and Hu Zhijing nodded secretly. They are worthy of being an officer who graduated from the Army University. They have a good way of training soldiers. They are stunned for half a month and train a group of fishermen and farmers like soldiers. At least they look like soldiers, but they don't know what the effect is.
Gao Shenxing ran to He Keqi, stood attentively, and saluted He Keqi again, and shouted: "Report to the captain, the recruit company has gathered together, please give me a lecture."
"Let's start." He Keqi straightened his chest. After being the captain for so many years, he felt a little today.
"Yes." Gao Shenxing trotted back to the line and shouted loudly, "One row of lying shots, two rows of preparations"
More than 40 guerrillas in the front row trotted into the shooting position, raised their guns in a lie-down position and aimed at a row of human-shaped targets a hundred meters away in front. Then the gunshots rang out one minute later. More than 40 guerrillas fired all five bullets, got up and returned to the queue, and then reported the target one after another in front.
There were forty-eight soldiers in a row, six of them scored more than forty rings, two of them ran to the target, and all the rest were more than thirty rings.
Then there were the second and third rows, and the results were not much different. Gao Shenxing did not break his promise. After half a month of training, more than 100 guerrillas had basically mastered the shooting skills. Two soldiers with good qualifications even showed their potential to grow into snipers. Gao Shenxing also deliberately pointed out and ended up with a full score ring.
He Keqi was overjoyed and said, "It's great, now I'm more confident."
Gao Shenxing poured cold water and said: "Captain He, I have to remind you that live-fire shooting and actual combat are two different things. Although Da Zhou and Little Sparrow can hit full-score rings in live-fire shooting, in actual combat, they may not be able to hit Japanese soldiers ten meters away. In actual combat, in addition to testing their training level, they also test their psychological quality."
The two guerrillas named by Gao Shenxing were full of resentment, but they dared not refute. There was nothing else. The training for half a month made them afraid of training. In their opinion, Gao Shenxing was a living bandit. If one word was wrong or one action was not done properly, you would immediately be punished to carry a load of five kilometers across the country. If you don’t finish the running, you will not be allowed to eat.
However, Dazhou and Xiaomao found out soon, Gao Shenxing really didn't say anything nonsense.
A guerrilla of a sentry detective came back panting and reported that the Japanese army had arrived, at least one infantry team, and had reached two blocks five miles away.
The revenge of Japan comes faster than expected
The leader of Zhenjiang Gendarmerie, Taro Aoki, is worthy of being a master in the special high school class. He only spent one day restoring the process of guerrillas striking the trains on the water. Then he followed the clues left by the guerrillas and found Yangzhuang stationed by the guerrillas. He confirmed that it was the work of the guerrillas stationed in Yangzhuang. A Japanese squad immediately came to his door.
Although a car of arms were robbed and fell into the hands of the Communist guerrillas, Taro Aoki did not take this small group of guerrillas seriously. He was just a group of mud legs that lacked training. No matter how good the equipment was in their hands, it was just a fire stick. Sending an infantry team to attack was enough to wipe them out more than a dozen times.
Taro Aoki didn't know that there was a veteran of the National Army in the middle of this group of mud legs that he despised, and he was also the "Soldier King" level veteran who could change the outcome of a small-scale battle with the power of one person.
After discovering the Japanese army, He Keqi began to deploy battles.
In Gao Shenxing's view, He Keqi's command level is still at the initial stage. Compared with the grassroots officers of the National Army who came from the Central Military Academy, he is useless. He neither digged trenches in advance on the periphery of the station nor issued clear combat instructions to each platoon. He just allowed more than 100 people to scatter and hide in the wilderness.
What is He Keqi going to do? Let each squad arrange the birds and beasts scatter and fight each other?
At this time, the rice in the wild has been harvested and the cotton plants have withered, but withered wormwood and withered cotton plants in the fields, as well as the trees and bamboo forests, it is no problem to hide a mere 100 or 200 people. Gao Shenxing was just a little worried, how can he fight this battle with such a dispersed force?
However, Gao Shenxing quickly realized the power of dispersed use of troops
The battle suddenly started. At that time, the Japanese squad was marching in line on the main road. A guerrilla suddenly shot a shot from the branch of a cypress tree on the side of the road. The one who shot the little sparrow. At that time, the distance between him and the Japanese was really less than ten meters, but his hand shook at the moment of hugging the fire, and he shot a misfire.
The Japanese army reacted quickly, and they all fell down as soon as the guns fired. Then dozens of rifles shot at the trees. The smooth cypress trees were covered with bullet holes in an instant. However, the little sparrow had already retracted into the holes among the branches, and went down the hollow hole to the tunnel, and then ran along the tunnel.
The battle was lively. Two guerrillas suddenly rushed out of the bamboo forest two hundred meters away. They shot two "Ba" and "Ba" at the Japanese army lying on the ground. They also failed to hit the target, but they attracted the attention of the Japanese army again. The Japanese soldiers turned their guns and shot at the two guerrillas.
Seeing this, the two guerrillas turned around and ran away.
The Japanese lieutenant who led the team was furious and pulled out his sabre and led him forward.
More than fifty Japanese soldiers scattered Cairo's legs and chased into the small bamboo forest. Only after they found a hat that was thrown on the ground. A Japanese soldier was curious and picked it up. As a result, he was shot to death by the bamboo crossbow set up by the guerrillas. This grandson was unfair enough that he did not let the guerrillas kill, but the bamboo crossbow was shot to death.
The little Japanese was feeling full of anger and had nowhere to vent. Suddenly, gunshots sounded again in front of him, and the thunderous sound of machine guns was still the thunderous sound of machine guns.
"Machine gun? Yu Huo, the main force of the guerrillas." The Japanese lieutenant suddenly had his eyes lit up and followed the gunshots with more than 50 Japanese soldiers.
Gao Shenxing and He Keqi, Yin Shangwen hid on a slope. Seeing the Japanese army being amused by the guerrillas in the east and a hammer in the west, Gao Shenxing couldn't help but ask, "Captain He, where are you singing?"
He Keqi removed the tobacco pipe from his mouth and first knocked it to the soles of his feet, then inserted it on his waist, and asked again: "Have you heard of the sparrow war?"
"Sparrow Battle?" Gao Shenxing said in a daze, "I haven't heard of it."
He Keqi pulled out the box cannon from the holster and said, "We are using Sparrow War."
Gao Shenxing said: "How many Japanese can this piecemeal kill? When will it take to fight?"
"Don't underestimate this piece of trick." He Keqi yelled twice and continued, "Yes, our guerrillas' pieces of tricks can only tickle the little Japanese, and the best result will make them return in vain. I admit that if it is replaced by combat-capable troops, the result will be completely different."
Gao Shenxing didn't say anything, but just listened with concentration.
He Keqi said again: "It's just a few months ago. A company of more than 100 people from the 771st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army was shot in a mountainous area called Pingzhi County, Shanxi. Facing a 500 Japanese infantry and a cavalry company, it was through such pieces that not only won by the few, but also killed more Japanese devils."
"This..." Gao Shenxing said dumbfoundedly, "Is it possible?"
Yin Shangwen intervened and said, "This is true, the Central Daily News has sent a message."
Gao Shenxing felt that his war philosophy was ruthlessly subverted by these mud legs. Aren’t the confrontation between the two armies all set aside to fight positions? He went to the Central Military Academy and the Army University, studied fortification construction, in-depth defense, and coordinated combat between various arms, but he did not learn to break things. This is OK, can he win a battle?
Gao Shenxing's thinking fell into chaos in an instant, but soon became clearer again. A voice suddenly sounded in his mind: Hegel said that what exists is reasonable, and this piecemeal tactic will never appear for no reason. Perhaps it has been tested by war, and at least it is worth trying.
An idea quickly became clear in Gao Shenxing's mind.
"Captain He." Gao Shenxing turned his head and looked at He Keqi and asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to lose this Japanese army?"
"What did you say? I'll lose this Japanese army?" He Keqi said in surprise, "Planer Gao, aren't you joking? I'm still very clear about how much our guerrillas have. If it's just a dozen Japanese, they'll eat it at a price. But this is a whole team of more than fifty Japanese and mortars, and we still lack a good tooth.
He Keqi really never thought about annihilated this invading enemy. It was not that he didn't want to, but that he was beyond his ability.
Gao Shenxing said: "Captain He, or I have a way to help you get rid of this little Japanese. The premise is that your sparrows must fight around me and fight in an organized manner, rather than fighting in a sheep-like manner like now."
"Fight around you?" He Keqi's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice, "What kind of fighting method?"
Gao Shenxing said: "I am responsible for mobilizing the Japanese, so that your people can set up ambush along the way and fire cold guns."
"Are you alone?" He Keqi said in a deep voice, "Platform Leader Gao, this is not a joke."
