Lu Yuan wanted to take the county seat directly and directly disintegrate the Wuyi Japanese puppet army from the root, but before he and the disguised assault team arrived at the county seat, he suddenly received an order from Zhao Dahai, asking Lu Yuan and them to move in the direction of Baoding immediately. For this order, Lu Yuan was naturally puzzled, but the commandos around him were all from the Eighth Route Army, and since the order came from the Eighth Route Army, Lu Yuan had no choice but to order to turn around and move in the direction of Baoding.

Lu Yuan and the others, who abandoned the truck, under the guidance of the local guerrillas, finally converged with Zhao Dahai and them before dinner, and at this time, Lu Yuan finally knew why Zhao Dahai ordered the commando to retreat. "The order came from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and the 7th and 9th companies that replaced us in Tang County have already fought with the Japanese puppet army, although we don't know the specific situation yet, but it is certain that the casualties of the 7th and 9th companies will not be small." Kang Cheng, who was expressionless, handed a cigarette to Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan did not refuse, reached out to take it, and lit the cigarette on the match bar that Kang Cheng struck.

"The order of the headquarters is not for us to return to Tang County, but for us to make some big disturbances around Baoding, force the Japanese puppet army of Baoding that attacked Tang County to divide their troops and return to defense, and reduce the burden on the 7th and 9th companies." Seeing that Lu Yuan lit the cigarette, Kang Cheng said the real reason, but Lu Yuan just shrugged his shoulders but didn't say anything. After all, the war is changeable, and there is no way to do it suddenly, and Lu Yuan has no objection to this soldier.

"Why don't I take a part of my commandos to attack the railway line again? It was just an attack on a few Japanese puppet army strongholds around Baoding, which was not as shocking as directly cutting off the railway and snatching the Japanese army's military supplies. As long as the commander of the Japanese army in Baoding is not a fool, he should know which is the most important thing compared to the safety and smoothness of the railway and Tang County. Lu Yuan smoked a cigarette and gave a suggestion. When Kang Cheng heard this suggestion, his eyes couldn't help but light up, but he immediately shook his head again, because they couldn't contact the underground party organization in Baoding at all now.

The inability to contact the underground party organization in Baoding meant that they could not obtain information related to the Japanese puppet army in Baoding, and without specific information, even if they wanted to intercept the Japanese train, they could not determine which train was carrying military supplies. Kang Cheng said what he thought in his heart, but was ridiculed by Lu Yuan for a while, "Instructor Kang, I think you are stupid to beat your head in the war, I just said that I didn't say that I wanted to cut off the railway line?" Since our main purpose is to cut off the railway line, is it really that important what is being carried on the train? ”

Lu Yuan's words instantly woke up Kangcheng, that's right, since he was rushing to cut off the railway, intercepting the train was just a matter of piggybacking, as long as it was not a passenger car that was stopped, even if a cart of cotton cloth fell in the end, it would be an accident. Kang Cheng, who understood this, immediately went to Zhao Dahai to discuss, and Ning Ze, who had been acting as a bystander, said to Lu Yuan, "Although your suggestion is good, it will also attract a more crazy counterattack from the Japanese puppet army." ”

Hearing this, Lu Yuan turned around and glanced at Ning Ze, it was obvious that he was a little disappointed with Ning Ze's argument. "Sir Ning, attacking the Japanese train and cutting off the railway line will certainly provoke the counterattack of the Japanese puppet army, but attacking the Japanese puppet army strongholds around Baoding will also attract the counterattack of the Japanese puppet army, there is actually no difference between the two, the only difference is the different influence of the two. It's just that you don't forget that this is war, and in order to get the final chance of victory, all the means at all means should be used, and at present, our only purpose is to find a way to consume the living forces of the Japanese army and their supplies. ”

"Japan is an island country, and its population should be more than 70 million, of which the number of men is about 35 million, but this 35 million includes Japanese men of all ages. You are a soldier, you should know what age group is suitable for being a soldier, among the 35 million men in Japan, I think that no more than 20% of Japanese men are considered to be soldiers of appropriate age, and the specific number should be between 5 million and 3 million. ”

However, these sources of school-age soldiers also include Japanese workers, technicians, college students, and special envoys such as the only son in the family, so the total number of troops that the Japanese army can really throw into the battlefield should not exceed 3 million. Moreover, due to the influence of factors of national strength and other reasons, it is impossible for the Japanese to form an army and put them into the battlefield at one time, and they can only be put into the battlefield after training one after another as the war develops. ”

"You are a soldier, you should know the difference between veterans and recruits, as far as the current situation of the Japanese army is concerned, veterans in the Japanese army account for at least half or more. Although the Eighth Route Army has many veterans, its weapons and equipment are very poor, and although the national army is not inferior to basic weapons and equipment, almost all of its veterans and elites were lost in the Songhu Campaign and the Nanjing Campaign. Compared with the two, the anti-Japanese armed forces are naturally in a disadvantageous situation at present, but the Japanese army is not King Kong is not bad, and we are fighting very well in Wuyi County. ”

Lu Yuan said so much in one breath, Ning Ze was a little confused at first, but as Lu Yuan's words became more and more vernacular, Ning Ze finally heard something meaningful. "The gains and losses of one city and one place will not be of much help to the entire situation of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the plan for the present is to ignore the regional survival and loss, and use movement warfare, rush warfare, and guerrilla tactics to find ways to kill and injure the Japanese army's vital forces as much as possible. Even if they cannot win the war, at least they must be dragged down in terms of physical strength and will to fight, and create opportunities and conditions for other anti-Japanese armed forces to attack. ”

"This attack on the Baoding railway line, ostensibly to reduce the pressure on the Eighth Route Army in Tang County, is actually to attract the attention of the Japanese army in the two directions of Baoding and Zhengding, and if possible, maybe it will also attract the attention of the Japanese puppet army in Hengshui. Once the Japanese puppet army in these three directions sends troops to invite the battle, Baoding will be a mess here, if we suddenly jump out and go south to Shandong at this time, how do you say the Japanese army in these three directions will react? Will they see that we will set up an ambush and wait for them to follow and pursue? ”

While speaking, Lu Yuan smoked a cigarette while carving a simple map on the ground with a short knife, and by the way, he also marked the places where the commandos buried weapons and ammunition on the simple map one by one. "These places have weapons and ammunition that we have buried, and these places are very suitable for ambushes." At this time, Ning Ze had completely understood what Lu Yuan wanted to express, and Ning Ze, who had figured out this, couldn't help but gasp, Lu Yuan was planning a big battle.

Xu was worried from Ning Ze's expression at the moment, and Lu Yuan immediately smiled and said to the other party, "In fact, not many troops are needed, the main execution force is only 150 people, as for the number of other auxiliary forces, it depends on the decision of the heads of your headquarters." Lu Yuan said this with great confidence, because in his mind, he already had a rough plan, and he told Ning Ze that he just hoped that Ning Ze could report his idea to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Ning Ze did not live up to Lu Yuan's expectations, and when Kangcheng and Zhao Dahai had not yet discussed the reason, Ning Ze had already reported Lu Yuan's plan to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army through the radio. The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, which received Ning Ze's telegram, was naturally in an uproar, and some of the bigwigs strongly agreed with Lu Yuan's plan, while others thought that it was necessary to consider it carefully in line with the principle of caution, but the time given by Lu Yuan was only one day, and once they began to cut off the railway line between Baoding and Zhengding, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army would have to give a formal reply.

From a small local battle to a huge pursuit battle, and the troops involved may exceed thousands, and the battle area is even more involved in several counties, except for a few people, everyone who knows about this plan is questioning Lu Yuan, after all, Lu Yuan is too young. Lu Yuan, who had already followed Zhao Dahai's company back to Baoding, did not know any of this, and it only took more than half a day for Lu Yuan and them to smoothly withdraw to the area of Xiaozhangzhuang, where they had attacked the Japanese munitions train last time, and they could carry out sabotage and ambush on the railway line just after dark.

Back in Baoding, the commando team had been disbanded and returned to the original squad platoon, and only the three-person team and Ning Ze were left around Lu Yuan, and when he stopped to rest, Ning Ze was very interested in Lu Yuan's heavy sniper rifle. "It's in vain, with the current military industrial capacity of your Eighth Route Army, you can't make this kind of heavy weapon at all. When I went to Germany, I made this thing in the Krupp family arsenal with their best materials and the best lathes, and the technicians who made it were also the best technicians in the Krupp family arsenal. ”

Lu Yuan pulled away the gun, pointed to the parts inside and smiled at Ning Ze, "See this, no, this thing must be processed by hand, just this thing, it took 5 people to process it for three days." We can't find such materials in China at all, so my gun should be said to be the only one in China. At a distance of 300 meters, all the tanks and armored vehicles currently equipped by the Japanese army are not its opponents, and if the Japanese army pursues us with tanks this time, maybe a few Japanese tanks will be captured for fun at that time. ”

Although Lu Yuan's words were a joke, they were not a joke at all in Ning Ze's ears, he had already heard a strong sense of confidence from Lu Yuan's words just now, and the power of Lu Yuan's heavy* force was something he had seen with his own eyes. Suddenly, Ning Ze began to look forward to the Eighth Route Army headquarters passing Lu Yuan's plan, because he really wanted to see this heavy sniper rifle on the battlefield again, and he was really looking forward to it.
