"Director Meng, Director Meng!"
That familiar voice sounded.
When the boat docked, before it stopped, Wang Jingzhong was seen hurriedly jumping off the boat. Regardless of the fact that the lake water was still cold in early spring, he rushed up three steps at a time.
When they meet, they bow deeply:
"Director Meng, I finally see you again."
He has always been infinitely grateful to Meng Shaoyuan. He was able to transform from a little bandit back then to the current commander-in-chief of the Taihu Guerrilla Brigade. Without this benefactor, he would have been just dreaming.
"You're fine."
Meng Shaoyuan only said these three words.
But just these three words are already a great reward for Wang Jingzhong.
"Wang Jingzhong, I'll leave the boss to you. If one hair is missing, I will tear down your den of thieves!"
Wei Yunzhe said loudly.
"Don't worry, I'm here with you. Even if I risk my life, I, Wang Jingzhong, can't let Director Meng get hurt."
Wei Yunzhe felt more relieved now: "Boss, I will pick you up here the day after tomorrow and go back to Shanghai with you."
The relationship between these two seems to be quite good.
This was the first thought in Meng Shaoyuan's mind.
…
Meng Shaoyuan soon saw Wang Jingzhong's pomp.
Good guy, even Xue Sanqiang in his heyday couldn't compare with Wang Jingzhong now.
As we approached our lair, we saw a large ship approaching.
Four machine guns were set up there, majestic.
Flags were flying on the ship.
There are two big flags on the left and right. One side reads "Kill all the Japanese pirates to avenge the shame", and the other side reads "Never stop fighting until Jinling is restored."
In the middle is another big flag with a big word "Meng" written on it.
Um?
Meng?
Shouldn't it be the word "王"?
"Jingzhong has never forgotten who gave us everything today." Wang Jingzhong said respectfully: "This team is not Wang Jingzhong's, but Director Meng's Taihu Guerrilla Brigade."
This guy is so smart.
"It's not mine either." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "They all belong to the country. Wang Jingzhong, don't write my name on this flag from now on. It will still be yours."
"yes."
The big ship approached, and everyone on board stood on the deck, and heard a chorus of shouts:
"Taihu Guerrilla Brigade, welcome the chief helmsman!"
"puff"!
Chief helmsman?
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't laugh or cry: "Wang Jingzhong, are you a guerrilla group or a bandit den?"
Wang Jingzhong was a little embarrassed: "Director Meng, I wanted to greet you with a grand gesture, but I couldn't tell you your identity clearly because I was worried about your safety, so I can only say that you are the chief helmsman."
Meng Shaoyuan also felt helpless.
Wang Jingzhong had no problem with his loyalty, and he was not shy about attacking the Japanese. However, he had been with Xue Sanqiang for a long time, and even a good scholar had become tainted with the charlatanism.
Everyone got on the big boat with awe in their eyes.
In his spare time, Wang Jingzhong would often tell them about the omnipotent "chief helmsman" who could go to heaven and earth, fly over walls and walls, and there was nothing in the world that the chief helmsman could not accomplish.
Now, I can see it with my own eyes.
But he didn't dare to take a closer look, for fear of offending the chief helmsman.
"The food and wine are ready. Let's eat on the boat tonight. While eating, we can look at the night view of Taihu Lake." Wang Jingzhong said respectfully, "The resting place for the night has also been cleaned."
"I just drank at noon, so drink less at night."
"Yes Yes."
…
Wang Jingzhong's Taihu guerrilla brigade developed relatively early. Therefore, the strength is relatively strong.
The entire guerrilla brigade has more than 2,000 soldiers and is divided into five detachments, each with five squads.
Moreover, Wang Jingzhong also subdivided the water detachment and the shore detachment.
In this way, people on the water and shore communicate with each other and support each other.
According to Wang Jingzhong, with Wuxi as the center, there is nothing for hundreds of miles nearby that he doesn't know about.
Whatever the Japanese did or even said, the news would reach his ears the next day.
Of course Meng Shaoyuan knew that there must be exaggeration in these words, but he could also see that Wang Jingzhong had indeed become a trend.
There were Wei Yunzhe and Wang Jingzhong in the Wuxi area, plus Yue Zhenchuan, Zhao Changle and other troops active in Suzhou, Changzhou and other places, supplemented by Zhu Yanni's troops who rushed to Jintan and Jurong. Meng Shaoyuan personally took command in Shanghai. He was in Jiangsu The layout of most of the land has been completely completed.
Even these forces will pose a certain threat to Nanjing.
Meng Shaoyuan even had the urge to hold a large-scale military operation.
calm down.
Stay calm no matter what.
It's not time yet.
In addition to Meng Shaoyuan's layout a long time ago, there is another very important reason for the current rapid development situation.
The Japanese are not yet fully aware of the threat posed by the guerrillas.
In their eyes, the guerrillas are nothing more than "roving bandits" who can only carry out some harassment and destruction at best. Their foundation for colonizing China has not yet been shaken.
Moreover, having occupied so many cities, the Japanese were in urgent need of digestion and did not have much energy to manage these guerrillas.
Once they truly feel threatened, the situation will change quickly.
What Meng Shaoyuan has to do in the next stage is to let the guerrillas gain a firm foothold before Japan fully wakes up, connect the guerrilla zones together, and make the Japanese helpless.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy to suppress." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said to himself.
"What?" Wang Jingzhong didn't understand very well: "The Japanese want to destroy me? In my dreams, this Taihu Lake is our world!"
"Wang Jingzhong, don't be so confident." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "One million soldiers of the Chinese army fought bloody battles in Shanghai and were defeated. What do your mere thousands of people mean? You have to really anger the Japanese completely. , mobilized heavy troops to encircle and suppress, their gunboats are not vegetarian, no matter how familiar you are with Taihu Lake, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive for a long time."
Wang Jingzhong listened very carefully: "I also want to get a few gunboats."
"It's not that easy to get." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "But don't worry too much. The Japanese are now focusing all their energy on the frontal battlefield, and there is no main force here. The more intense the frontal battlefield is, the harder it will be for you. The more advantageous it is. As for you, by constantly destroying its rear, you indirectly support the frontal battlefield."
Lighting a cigarette, he continued: "Also, let me teach you a trick. Do the Japanese want to fight? They must fight, but you can't make them panic. You can rob ten grain ships. ship, the damage range should be controlled within the range that the Japanese can bear. They dare not encircle you on a large scale because they are worried that not even one of the ten ships will be left behind next time.
It's like two enemies. You hit him every time and run away after the fight. He is anxious and angry, but he also feels that risking his life with you just for these few hits is not worth it. As for you, you develop and strengthen yourself while fighting. Today you rob one ship, and tomorrow you rob two ships. When you are able to eat all ten ships, the other party will be late to react. "
"Because I gained weight and gained strength, he can't beat me." Wang Jingzhong responded very quickly.
"Yes, that's what I mean." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "But no matter how strong you become, you still can't beat the Japanese head-on. But you have to think about their mentality. Originally, a few squadrons could kill you, but now You have become stronger, and they have to gather a large team or even a coalition to solve the problem. Do they think it is cost-effective?
It is impossible to mobilize troops to deal with you on the frontal battlefield. We can only mobilize troops from nearby areas. But with more troops in Wuxi, Suzhou will be empty. Rescue Suzhou, and Changzhou will be empty. Guerrillas in Changshu, Kunshan, and other places can become active frequently. The Japanese only have such a small number of troops. They will inevitably lose sight of the other, which is also something they don't want to see.
The core of guerrilla tactics is not to think about how to fight the enemy all the time. We don't do business at a loss. Instead, try to find their loopholes and develop yourself while working with them. You already have 2,000 people, but this is not enough. You need to continue to develop, and you need 20,000 people, 200,000 people! "
Wang Jingzhong took a breath of air.
Director Meng has such a loud tone.
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly asked: "Of course, the Japanese also have a common method, traitors and puppet troops. They will use them to become the main force against you. What are you going to do?"
"Fight!" Wang Jingzhong blurted out without even thinking: "I can't beat the Japanese, how can I beat these traitors?"
"Of course we have to beat them, and we have to beat them until they hurt. I'm afraid of beating them." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "But the traitors and puppet soldiers are also human beings. The Japanese can threaten them. Why can't you, Wang Jingzhong, bribe them? Wei Yunzhe can do it. Yes, I had dinner at the house of a fake security chief, and two fake policemen helped me stand guard there."
Wang Jingzhong was thoughtful.
"You're welcome to the hardcore traitors, kill a few more." Meng Shaoyuan threw away the cigarette butt: "But for those who are on both ends of the spectrum, bribe them and let them do things for you, and let them become your eyes and ears around the Japanese!"
…
On Taihu Lake in early spring, the cold wind blew, and Meng Shaoyuan could not help but shrink his neck.
Feeling a little chilly.
"The place ahead is where Mr. He is staying." Standing next to Meng Shaoyuan, Wang Jingzhong whispered: "I will send someone to contact the island first."
"What a big rack."
Meng Shaoyuan said lightly.
A small boat rowed quickly towards the island.
What a Confucianism.
I'm going to see my teacher again.
After waiting there for a long time, the boat came back and the little boss got on the deck: "Report to the chief helmsman, report to the commander, Mr. He said, let the distinguished guests from Shanghai go to the island alone."
"This..." Wang Jingzhong looked a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, my teacher has a weird temper." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "No one can change what he decided. He asked me to go alone, so I will go alone."
"Yes." Wang Jingzhong quickly waved his hand: "Come here, help the chief helmsman get on the boat. Remember, after being sent to the island, you are not allowed to leave until the chief helmsman leaves the island."
Meng Shaoyuan found that he was actually a little nervous when he would see He Ruyi again soon.
