The soldiers of the unit are not fully trained, and the troops scattered in various towns and villages can only fight guerrilla warfare, and if they want to resist the Japanese Kwantung Army head-on, their veterans can gather together, but according to the current state of recruits, they cannot fight a tough battle with the Japanese army at all, and even if they encounter a Japanese army equal in number to them, they will have to retreat.

"Company commander, it's true that our number has doubled, but the combat effectiveness of our troops has really deteriorated! I also believe in the enthusiasm of these young people to join the army to resist Japan, but if we don't have systematic and formal training, we can't beat the little devils with enthusiasm alone! "A platoon commander was in a hurry.

In the past, their troops were well trained, and the training conditions were very good, and the quality of the trained soldiers was not to be said! But now the soldiers they have just recruited have to be trained without training, and if they are given a gun with enough bullets, they are soldiers, and they are in a hurry on the battlefield, and some soldiers can't even load their bullets on the battlefield.

If this continues, although their troops will expand, their combat effectiveness will plummet.

"Isn't it fifteen tomorrow?" The company commander did not care about the questions raised by his platoon commander.

"Company commander, did you listen to me?" The platoon commander asked anxiously.

"Hear me! I know you're talking about things, but you're not on the battlefield to kill little devils, are you? Give them some time! "The company commander knows what his platoon commander said, but he can't change anything for the time being, what they have to do now is to survive, not to fight to the death.

"Hey!"

The platoon commander sighed.

"It's fifteen tomorrow, I'm going to report to the commander about the situation on our side, I'll set off tonight, I'll leave the matter here, I'm a little patient with our soldiers, since they are soldiers, they are our brothers!" The company commander persuaded his platoon commander.

"The company commander should bring two soldiers, they can withstand it for a while if something happens!"

On the fifteenth of every month, they would go to the mountains to report on their recent developments and encounters.

"Entering the mountains from us, there are a lot of enemy-occupied areas that we have passed, if you don't get discovered by the little devils, it's okay, if you are discovered by the little devils, I won't take you all with me!"

Every time the company commander held a meeting, he would go back to the mountains alone, and their company was the farthest unit in the mountains, so they could only travel at night so that they would not be searched by the Japanese army.

"Use your brain more when you encounter things, although you are still a platoon commander, but now we are a veteran to be an officer, and you are now fighting not only the responsibility of the platoon commander, but even the responsibility of the company commander and the battalion commander! After surviving this most difficult period, our troops will be able to grow, and then we will be able to go too far in the mountains! ”

They all came out of Taihang Mountain, and they came to the Northeast thousands of miles away, so they thought of one thing, to drive the little devils away, and they went back to Taihang Mountain.

"Today is fifteen again, and I will tell you a bad news, according to our informant's report, the commander of the sixth company of the third battalion was killed by a little devil on the way here!" Ma Wanzhong said in front of all the officers, "We naturally want to write it down to the little devils, but I also want to tell you that we will encounter such things in the future, and the most important thing is that we must protect ourselves!" The situation is dire, and there is not much we can do. ”

The news is indeed very bad, a company commander was found by a little devil on the way to a meeting, and then was brutally killed, after coming to the Northeast, he hasn't done much, they think of themselves! It is indeed a sad thing to lose my life when I didn't have time to do anything when I came to the Northeast.

"Okay, then your company commanders and battalion commanders will start to report their work, the same process as several times!"

Ma Wanzhong's development speed is not fast, after all, the mass base in the northeast is too weak, it is not that Ma Wanzhong and they do not do propaganda, but the Japanese army blockade is too strict, if the propaganda is open, it is tantamount to looking for their own death.

After the report of the battalion commander and company commander, Ma Wanzhong learned about the situation of his troops, although the troops are developing, but the situation is still not good, Ma Wanzhong has a sad face, and the situation has not yet opened!

"Commander, the overall quality of our troops is declining, this ......"

"Needless to say, I understand the situation, now it's not the same as when we were in Taihang Mountain, we were in Taihang Mountain, and there weren't many Japanese troops in the area where the troops were divided, but now it's different, we are surrounded by Japanese troops, dense!"

Of course, Ma Wanzhong knew that the overall quality of the soldiers in their unit was declining, after all, the unit had nearly doubled in just three months, and these soldiers had not undergone strict training, and they did not have much combat experience, so the combat effectiveness of the unit was naturally declining!

"Let me tell you about the telegram sent to us by Brother Fan yesterday, our troops have begun to deploy and move, the strength of one army has entered the Soviet Union, and other combat units will also arrive in Daxinganling one after another! You're all old officers, you should know what I mean! I know we have a lot of difficulties, but the difficulties are temporary! ”

The officers were very happy when they heard that their troops had begun to deploy and march into the northeast, and the depression they had just felt was gone.

"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice, although our troops have begun to deploy to the northeast, our situation will not change in a short time! After all, if all our troops in Taihang Mountain are transferred to the northeast, the Japanese army will not be driven out in one day! On the contrary, when our troops march into the northeast, they will inevitably encounter large-scale resistance from the Japanese army, and in order for our troops to march smoothly into the northeast, we need to contain the Japanese army as much as possible! ”

Ma Wanzhong told all the officers about the current situation of the development of their troops, and that the troops in Taihang Mountain were strong, but they were still weak in the northeast.

"Brother Fan, ask me in the telegram how many troops we can contain the Japanese army! I didn't send a telegram back to Brother Fan, because I don't have the answer, and the answer is in your hands! Ma Wanzhong said.

"We ...... Commander, our total strength is now less than 10,000 troops, and as you know recently, the number of new recruits in the army has increased so much, and the strength of 10,000 troops is not as good as our previous 5,000 troops! A battalion commander said.

"The solution is thought up by people, there are always more ways than difficulties, we can't compete with the Japanese army head-on now, but we can continue to harass the little devils behind enemy lines!"

"That's right! If the Japanese army wants to resist our troops in the northeast, it will inevitably have to transport troops and war materials from the rear to the front line, and we will rely on the railway line and highway line, eat and drink the Japanese army's, and be angry with the little devils! A battalion commander said.

"The idea is very good, but the railways and highways built by the Japanese army are all in the plain area, and the support speed of the Japanese army's large forces is not slow, and our intelligence system in the northeast is too backward, if the sneak attack is a train for the Japanese army to transport supplies, it's okay, if the sneak attack is a train for the Japanese army to transport troops, we will send it to the door!"

It's like a thief going to steal something, and when you open the door, you just see a bunch of police officers partying, and it's a bolt from the blue.

For them, the time they spent in the Northeast is too short, if they are given more time, they must have developed very well, but the current situation in China does not give them more time!

Anyone can lead a team in 10 or 20 years, but a country cannot be invaded in 10 or 20 years.

"According to you, we can't fight this battle, so we all raise our hands and go to the little devil to surrender? Or go home and pick up the baby? You don't need to fight a good battle, how did you promise Brother Fan in Taihang Mountain when you first came to the Northeast? I tell you, you have to find a way to fight by yourself, and if you fight well, we can talk about it anyway, and if you can't fight well! Do you still have the face to go back to Taihang Mountain? How to face Brother Fan, how to face the people in Taihang Mountain who have always supported us? ”

How to fight, Ma Wanzhong doesn't need to teach these officers at all, they are all from the battlefield, and they have a lot of experience in fighting! They lack the experience to open up the situation!

"Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, we are now relying on the little devils, hey~ I still rely on the little devils, they have to support us! No matter what method you use! What the little devil has, we want to have! ”

Ma Wanzhong sternly reprimanded all the officers, and they couldn't keep shrinking because the enemy was strong and we were weak.

"I will send a telegram to Brother Fan, and I will tell Brother Fan that we can now hold back the Japanese army of 50,000 to 80,000 troops! The rest is up to all of you! ”

The things of the war can't help but make it difficult for these officers, but they lack a small whip to whip these officers forward, Liao Fan's orders and the expectations of the people of Taihang Mountain are the best whip!

"Lao Ma said that he was able to hold back 50,000 to 80,000 Japanese troops, Lao Li, do you believe it?" After receiving the telegram, Liao Fan asked Li Lingfei with a smile.

"Eighty thousand is a bit difficult, fifty thousand I think it's still possible!"

Li Lingfei is always full of confidence in the troops of Taihang Mountain.

"Lao Ma is a person who reports good news but not bad news, 50,000 people may be difficult, reduce it by half, and you can hold back 25,000 Japanese soldiers, preferably 30,000!"

Liao Fan still knows Lao Ma, and for the situation in the Northeast, although Liao Fan is not well aware, but in such a complex environment, it is not easy to talk about development, after a year of development in Taihang Mountain, there is not as fast as Ma Wanzhong's development.

"Brother Fan, it's not so bad, at least it's Lao Ma's hometown, he should know the situation in his hometown!"

"It's the old horse's hometown, but how many years has the old horse not been back? With the influence of Ma Wanzhong when he left the Northeast, that is, to influence one or two surrounding villages! You can't talk about answering every call! ”

Liao Fan had already pinched Ma Wanzhong's vein, and if it wasn't in the name of Taihang Mountain, it would be really difficult to slowly gain the trust of the people.
