Chapter 8: Wandering Dry (31)
Chapter 8: Wandering Dry (31)
Within a few days of the class, twenty-four huge slogans, each the size of a dustpan, appeared on the walls of the Bible college, written in white lime mortar on the yellowish walls. On the day it was written, it attracted almost all the students to watch it together.
"When the enemy advances, I retreat, when the enemy is stationed, I disturb, when the enemy is tired, I fight, when the enemy retreats, I chase, when the enemy is few, and when there are many enemies, I hide." Twenty-four characters plus the interval in the middle almost fill a wall, which is very imposing.
"It's so polished! Completely condensed the essence of guerrilla warfare. "Someone said.
"This has to be a guerrilla to sum up such a sunny language." Another said.
"I want to find out, this is the creation of an ancient Chinese military strategist, this is definitely not something that people can do today." It's a sour sound.
Mo Di is also mixed in the crowd watching the excitement, and there is no news in the You Gan class every day except for learning or training, and it appears once in a while, and Mo Di is not exempt from vulgarity.
"I guess this passage also comes from over there, and there is really no one on our side who has such deep guerrilla skills." Liu Jingzhi judged.
"Not necessarily." Mo Di shook his head and said, "If it's the first four sentences, I believe it's something over there, and if you add the last two sentences, it's not necessarily." If the first four sentences are tiger heads, the last two sentences are snake tails. ”
"Hehe, Tianzhong, if you don't say it, I don't think I think it, as soon as you say it, I really feel a bit of a dog's tail mink." Liu Jingzhi laughed.
"You're right." Behind Mo Di, a person's voice came out: "Mo Di's judgment is right. ”
When the two looked back, it was Li Tao, an instructor of guerrilla political engineering. These days, because they often teach and learn together, they are already very familiar, so they hurriedly called the instructor hello, and then pretended to be a good baby, and looked at Li Tao with an inquisitive eye.
"In the nineteenth year of the Republic of China, the * comrades of our party made a couplet at a meeting in Ningdu, which read: The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, the enemy retreats and I pursue, and the odds of victory in guerrilla warfare; The next link is: advance and retreat in great strides, lure the enemy deep, concentrate forces, break through each one, and annihilate the enemy in a mobile war. Li Tao said: "The latter two sentences are also the first time I have seen them, not to say that the dog's tail continues to mink, nor does it say that the tiger's head and snake tail, at least a little bit out of the same grade." ”
Mo Di and Liu Jingzhi both laughed, the other party was polite, if you were not polite, I was afraid that the words used would be even more unbearable than the dog's tail and mink's tiger and snake tail.
"Your party's Mr. * is not only a politician, but also a military strategist, I have read his "On Protracted War", and it is estimated that China's anti-Japanese road will really follow his predictions." Liu Jingzhi said.
"You are right, Comrade * is the most valuable asset of our party, he has extremely high attainments in politics, military and economy, philosophy, culture, and art, as long as he adheres to the path he guided, he will not take a detour, and once he deviates from his thinking, problems of one kind or another will appear." When Li Tao said this, he had a look of reverence, he had followed * since the Autumn Harvest Rebellion, and for more than ten years, his thoughts and theories have been close to worship.
"Sir, apart from the sixteen characters you said earlier, do you have any other treatises on guerrilla warfare?" Mo Di asked.
"Yes." Li Tao said: "Comrade * once said that the development of the mass struggle is expanding day by day, and we cannot help any powerful enemy force. The tactics we use are guerrilla tactics, and in general, we divide our forces to mobilize the masses and concentrate them to deal with the enemy. The enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs us, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I pursue. It can be summed up as: stride forward, stride back, concentrate superior forces, and annihilate the enemy individually. ”
It was as if Hong Zhongju Lu Zhen was on Mo Di's head, Mo Di was completely shocked, and suddenly, as if a crack opened in the sky above his head, a golden light shone straight down, and he was in it, no longer seeing other people, and there were no more twenty-four big characters in front of him. He had forgotten how he left the crowd, Liu Jingzhi and Li Tao, and he didn't know how he walked along the river all the way up the hill to the west, where a lot of construction was being made, a chic two-storey building facing north and south had been basically completed, and the workers had made the final touches, planted flowers and plants, and cleaned the courtyard. Mo Di walked to the door of the small building, and condescended to look into the distance, surrounded by towering peaks, and the Bible school was in full view. The ancients said: If you want to be poor for thousands of miles, go to the next level, you can't deceive me. Zhang Yunyi, Ye Jianying, and * are not the same, the height of considering the problem, one is higher than the other.
After fighting for more than a year, I was a little complacent, and in Songhu, it was because I always remembered the teachings of Instructor Gangtian and was able to have a correct judgment on the Japanese army, so I achieved a little victory, and in the southern section of the Jinpu Road, it was because of Zhang Yunyi's three-day training, which gave me an understanding of guerrilla warfare in my operations, and thus achieved a brilliant victory. The only time I suffered a loss was in Huangmei, but in the Huangmei War, I didn't have much to do except fight like before. Through the study of this tour cadre class, I hope to find a better solution.
However, the calm Bible college is not peaceful, and even in a harmonious teaching environment, there are different understandings and views of guerrilla, and the controversy that arises as a result can often rise to unwanted heights.
On Sundays, take turns to rest, and each team can approve twenty people to leave the school, and the others can only move around the campus, of course, if you have physical strength, you can also climb the mountain with the back mountain, and go to the temple on the mountain to participate in meditation. Mo Di has never applied to go out, there is no need to come, and he doesn't want to leave again, he is a person who can settle down very well.
"Tianzhong, there is a big discussion going on in the auditorium, don't you want to listen?" Zhang Zhinong ran into the classroom and asked.
"What's being discussed? Is there still a discussion about how many people a guerrilla group should consist of? Mo Di glanced at him: "It's okay if you don't listen to this kind of discussion, there are many people playing with many people, and there are few people and few people with few designs, you have to fight for a good and a bad, it's really full of food." ”
"No, no, no." Zhang Zhinong hurriedly explained: "The topic of the debate this time is more interesting than the last one, guerrilla and flank attack. ”
"Guerrilla vs. flank?" Mo Di thought for a while: "Guerrilla is guerrilla, and side attack is side attack, why should these two unrelated things be involved." ”
"That's why it's interesting." Zhang Zhinong said: "I heard that the competition is fierce, let's go and have a look." ”
"Okay!" Mo Di closed the handout of the "Guerrilla Rectification Training Syllabus" in his hand and walked out with Zhang Zhinong, he usually doesn't like to participate in these discussions, the reason is very simple, he is short, every time he goes to this kind of occasion, in addition to standing in the first and second rows, he can only see other people's bodies and smell the fart of the people in front of him, anyway, every time he argues, there will always be a result, and the result will be known without going to the scene, so there is no need to enjoy the atmosphere of the scene.
This time it was the same, when I arrived at the auditorium, it was already overcrowded, but fortunately, some rules were formulated for this debate, and the deputies were elected to sit down on the rostrum and speak alternately, without interjecting in the middle of the conversation.
When he came to the side of the auditorium, Zhang Zhinong put Mo Di on the window sill and half-squatted, and stood beside Mo Di and turned into Mo Di's support, so Mo Di was half a head taller than ordinary people, and the movement on the rostrum was in full view.
"That's a good idea, isn't it?" Zhang Zhinong said: "I have thought about it for a long time, and this is the only way to let you see the scene. ”
"Yes, thank you, buddy." Mo Di patted Zhang Zhinong's shoulder, very grateful.
The controversy on the rostrum had reached a fever pitch, and the man who spoke was dancing and spitting, and the two feet of the table in front of him had already left the ground and were crumbling to himself. After paying attention, he realized that if it weren't for the two accomplices around him pulling his pants hard, he was afraid that he would have rushed out.
"The next time he is sent to argue, he should take off the trouser belt, whoever wants to stand up and speak, he must carry his pants, once he loses control, the pants will fall off, and he will honestly pull his pants, so as not to make such a tooth and claw look." As soon as Mo Di finished speaking, Zhang Zhinong couldn't help laughing.
But he didn't want his laughter to cause dissatisfaction among the people around him, and some people scolded: "What are you laughing at, what's so funny, you want to laugh, go out and laugh enough before coming in." ”
Zhang Zhinong was halfway through laughing, he was stiffly stuck, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he was panting, seeing Zhang Zhinong's appearance, he was so happy that his stomach cramped, and he almost didn't slip off the small window sill.
After listening carefully for a while, Mo Enemy finally understood what he was arguing about, and one side held that guerrilla warfare means conducting independent operations in a certain area, surviving there, growing up there, fighting against the Japanese invaders there, and adopting the 24-character principle of guerrilla warfare to destroy the enemy. Tactics should be flexible and changeable, and we should not stick to the rules, and we can adopt the method of clearing the field with strong walls and strategic shifts to avoid the sharp edge of the Japanese army, not to adopt the practice of sticking to one place, to fight with the enemy for attrition, and to preserve the strength of the troops as much as possible, rather than to preserve the territory.
On the other hand, the other side believes that guerrilla warfare is a reasonable supplement to regular warfare, and that the main purpose of the guerrilla forces' activities is still to serve regular warfare on the frontal battlefield, and the main way is to "attack from the side." This side had a clear advantage, and they directly recited Chiang Kai-shek's speech at the meeting of the chiefs of staff in January 1938: "The most appropriate way to break the tactics of the 'cone assault' of the Japanese is to 'flank attack'. The elements of a flank attack: First, we must control a considerable number of reserves, and when the Kou army carries out a cone assault, our reserve force will advance violently on the flank of the Kou army and apply a flank attack. Second, it is necessary to have a stable and sustained frontal position, so that the flanking troops have ample time for movement and combat. He also gave an example of the two great victories in Lunan Taierzhuang and De'an Wanjialing, both of which were achieved through flank attacks.
"Let's go, there's nothing new." Mo Di said.
"Wouldn't it? It's very innovative! Zhang Zhinong said: "The chairman's words are very reasonable. ”
"Then you continue to listen here, I'm leaving." Jumping off the windowsill, Mo Wei walked straight away.
As soon as he walked to the front of the steps, Zhang Zhinong chased after him from behind with a grinning face and said, "Tianzong, you are here to talk about it, why do you think it is boring?" ”
Mo Di thought for a moment and said: "Personally, I am in favor of the other side, although there is no footnote to the words of the chairman, but they can occupy a foothold behind enemy lines, and if they put too much emphasis on cooperation with the frontal battlefield, they will unconsciously turn guerrilla warfare into corps warfare, and they will lose the advantage of mobility and flexibility, and they will also lose the significance of guerrilla warfare." Can you understand? ”
Zhang Zhinong shook his head and said, "I don't understand, but it doesn't matter if I understand it or not, anyway, I can fight as much as the boss tells me to fight." ”
Mo Di smiled, this is the true state of mind of most people. The proposal said: "Go to the captain to see, if any of the students who went out to play have come back, if there is an index to go out, we will also apply to go out and go to Lei Gongtan to see how much money we have gotten back." ”
Zhang Zhinong applauded loudly, he has always liked money.
