Director of the Political Department Xunyang was very dissatisfied with Jackie Chan's always raising objections, so he rudely refuted his views and criticized Jackie Chan for his escapism and beard style.
"You!" Yu Chenglong pointed at Xunyang and stood up excitedly. The three chief officers blushed when they saw the two arguing and looked at each other. General Political Commissar Qin Gang signaled Chief of General Staff Yang Furen to stop them.
“We were born in beards, but we were also members of the Anti-Japanese Alliance team. We fought bloody battles with our brothers to fight the Japanese, and we were never ambiguous.
Beards are bad, but they also have advantages in survival. As soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, they scattered and fled for their lives. As soon as the officers and soldiers withdrew, they gathered again. In this way, they sometimes disappeared and sometimes roared into the mountains and forests. This was also an effective method of warfare.
This is also the reason why bandit armies like Huzi can survive for a long time and continue to expand. And our current strategy is no better than a beard.
Judging from the experience of the past few years, there is no way out if you fight hard. Deputy Commander Yu's opinions should be taken seriously. Why don't you all discuss it and learn from its strengths and make up for its weaknesses? "
Chief of General Staff Yang waved his hand to appease the two of them to sit down. His mood at the moment was also inclined to Jackie Chan's point of view, because the head-on confrontation with the little devil really caused the team to suffer a lot, so he should think of a foolproof strategy.
"Heroes don't care where they come from. We are comrades now, and no one should mention beards from now on! We are leading troops in wars, and we know the principle of marching before the soldiers and horses have food and grass.
But now our troops and horses are on the move and we have no food and grass. There's nothing we can do about it. It's the little devils who don't allow us to have this condition. They just want to trap us to death through this method.
But I think we can adopt Deputy Commander Yu Jackie Chan’s opinion and give priority to grabbing food and supplies in future military operations to ensure the survival of the team. "
Commander Fang Tianzhu held his pipe in his mouth again, thoughtfully. He didn't mean to completely agree with Jackie Chan's opinion, but under the current situation, he absolutely couldn't get too rigid with Jackie Chan.
"Comrade Xunyang spoke too excitedly, which is not appropriate. Most of the bearded people are poor people who were forced to have no choice but to rise up and fight against the government, which has a positive side.
How many bearded heroes are there in our anti-alliance ranks? They are our good comrades, they fight bravely with us, kill the enemy bravely, and save the country with their blood.
Deputy Commander Yu’s suggestion today is worthy of our careful consideration. How to preserve and strengthen our strength? How to persevere and ensure a long-term fight against the Japanese? This is indeed the pressing issue we face right now.
However, this major issue related to the survival and destiny of the Anti-Japanese Alliance requires a decision from superiors. We can reflect Deputy Commander Yu's opinions upward and wait for the superiors' decision.
What we can do now is to expand our team, strengthen our strength, and survive in a dangerous environment. You can discuss this issue and see what can be done better? "
General Political Commissar Qin Gang observed everyone's expressions as he spoke, and seemed to be trying to calm things down. However, Yu Chenglong did not speak anymore, and Xunyang did not continue his point of view.
The meeting ended in a dull atmosphere. However, expanding the team, strengthening the strength, and grabbing strategic materials have become the current top priorities of the Manbei Corps.
After careful research, the Corps decided to send Chief of General Staff Yang Furen, Captain Hai Qing, and Captain Xiao Dongxue to instigate rebellion against the Forest Police Brigade in Beizhen.
Because most of this team is composed of former beards and volunteers who did not really work for the Japanese after being recruited. Many of the officers are people from Feihu Village and Dulong Mountain.
Especially their captain Li Chaoyang, who turned out to be the second master of Feihu Village. After Feihu Village was dispersed by the Japanese, he led the remaining troops to surrender to the Japanese.
Yu Chenglong was ordered to collect the large queue of Xinglong Village. This team also had fifty or sixty people. Since the Xinglong Village stronghold was attacked and destroyed many times, Yu Chenglong was still very influential there.
When destroying the Japanese artillery towers, the Xinglongzhai platoon did not provide support, so they lost the trust of the Japanese and the Xinglongzhai platoon was facing reorganization.
Under this situation, Yu Chenglong and the others happened to come to recruit them. Because of Lin Fushun's long-term work foundation and the situation faced by the queue, the farmers' self-defense force built by the devil was successfully recruited without any effort. .
The superficial illusion is that the large queue in Xinglong Village was defeated and captured by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and most of the people were taken into the mountains. This was mainly to confuse the little Japanese.
At the same time, the work of instigating the rebellion of the Beizhen Forest Police Brigade was also going very smoothly, and the team of more than 200 people was successfully instigated to defect to the Manbei Corps of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
All the Japanese instructors in the forest police brigade were killed, and those in the team who were determined to surrender to the Japanese were also deported or shot.
The Anti-Alliance Manbei Corps has ushered in a new period of development. The troops have begun to reorganize, train, and run-in, although they are still not as good as they were at their peak.
After the arrival of summer, the troops went out to fight several more battles, targeting villages and towns where the enemy defenses were weakest. The focus was, of course, to seize food and supplies and not to fight head-on with the enemy.
In autumn, just as they were preparing to build a secret camp for the winter, the Manbei Corps received orders from their superiors to march out of Shanxi to destroy the Japanese's crusade plan and strive for strategic living space.
The Anti-Alliance Manbei Corps held a commanders' meeting to discuss the plan for the Western Expedition. The meeting was a bit dull at the beginning. Everyone seemed to be in a bad mood, especially Yu Chenglong and others.
"According to the instructions of the North Manchuria Provincial Party Committee, our regiment will go out of the mountains to march west. Commander Fang and I did some preliminary research and planned to take the troops west along the mountains to implement the decisions of our superiors.
If you encounter a strong enemy, go into the mountains. If everything goes well, keep heading west until you reach the Nen River area and then attack to meet up with friendly forces. Let's see if you have any other opinions and share your thoughts. "
General Political Commissar Qin Gang spoke first. He not only conveyed the instructions from his superiors, but also announced the specific plans of the Anti-Alliance Manbei Corps' westward expedition. Of course, the purpose was to hope that everyone would implement it, but Yu Chenglong immediately expressed his disagreement.
"I don't think it's appropriate to march westward now! The weather is getting cold, so we should build secret camps as soon as possible. The Japs' crusade is getting more and more intense. We should learn a lesson and not be chased all over the mountains by the Japs as soon as winter comes.
Only when the secret camp is built and sufficient food is prepared for the winter can we preserve our strength and fight the Japanese for a long time, otherwise the consequences will be the same as before.
We can no longer be like before. After one winter, there will be very few teams left. Now that we are leaving the territory where we have been fighting for many years and going deep alone, once we encounter the Japanese army, the consequences will be disastrous.
We should explain the situation we are facing to our superiors clearly, and we should focus on preserving our strength. We cannot attack rashly, let alone fight against the little devil, otherwise there will be no way out! "
