Chapter 799 We Are Entering the Cold Winter
It was a thrilling war of mines, tunnels and sparrows, with no casualties on our side.
All the spoils were piled up in front of the village ancestral hall, sorted into different categories, and were quite impressive.
Yamashita Yoshiaki was in charge of counting the captured weapons and happily read out:
“缴获12具掷弹筒、2挺重机枪、9挺轻机枪、2挺反坦克枪、105支三八大盖，手榴弹2千枚，子弹3万发，炮弹200发。罐头、压缩饼干无数。”
"it is good!"
The soldiers and villagers cheered in unison.
Yamashita Yoshiaki said generously: "Village Chief! Your village can take whatever you want."
The village chief said hurriedly: "No! We don't know how to use anything except rifles and grenades, so just take some."
Yamashita Yoshiaki nodded and said, "Okay! You guys take it. Our leaders said that each village must also have the ability to defend itself."
The villagers happily received the guns and the scene was very lively.
Doihara Kenji sighed: "Landmine warfare, tunnel warfare, and sparrow warfare are really powerful."
Yamashita Yoshiaki nodded and said, "Company Commander! It is said that all of this is the work of our political commissar."
Doihara Ken'er asked in confusion: "What is the name of our political commissar?"
Yamashita Yoshiaki saw Tianniu coming and walked towards her without even hearing what he asked.
Doihara Xian'er looked towards the direction of Zangjia Village and muttered to himself, "I wonder what happened to the fat girl."
The victory of Dagukou Village is just a small microcosm.
Anan's divisions attacked for several days, but what greeted them were tunnel warfare, mine warfare, and sparrow warfare with companies as units and villages as battlefields. They truly felt the terror.
No. 29, Taiping Road, Qingdao.
The office of the commander of the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade.
Akiyama Yoshikatsu picked up the phone and heard Anan Geki's complaints:
"Brother Qiushan! Why does the Langya Detachment fight like this? My division can't stand it."
Akiyama Yoshikatsu had heard this and said with a wry smile, "Old classmate! How about I ask for reinforcements? They are too cunning."
Anan Ji asked anxiously, "Last time at the seaside hotel, didn't you say you had a secret weapon? Have you sent it out?"
Akiyama Yoshikatsu said with a smile: "Send them out! We need to make the Eighth Route Army change their tactics immediately and expose themselves to your army's guns."
Anan Jihe said happily: "Yoshi! I hope your special envoy can produce unexpected results."
Akiyama Yoshikatsu said with a smile, "In order to help him gain a firm foothold, please send a squadron to Dagukou Village immediately and let him lead the army to defeat him."
Anan Ji said readily: "No problem, I will send troops immediately."
Boli, the command post of the Langya Detachment.
Gan Rong handed Xiang Chu a stack of photos and said anxiously:
"Political Commissar! Fishermen in Xiaokouzi found a body wearing an Eighth Route Army uniform on the beach. I went to the scene and took a few photos. The body had already rotted and was buried nearby."
Xiang Chu took the photo and said as he looked at it, "The uniform is not from our unit. The three bullets in his body were from a Nambu pistol. The wheel on the ground is from a Japanese jeep. Could it be a special envoy?"
Yu Xiaowan came closer to watch and shook her head, saying, "This person is not Zhang Renjie, perhaps he is Zhang Renjie's follower."
Xiang Chu ordered: "Lao Gan! Send a messenger to deliver the photo to the detachment commander. He may know this person."
"Yes!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
Yu Xiaowan suggested: "Brother Chu! Why don't you report to the headquarters and ask about Zhang Renjie's current whereabouts."
At this time, Shima reported loudly: "Political Commissar! The detachment commander called and said that the special commissioner Zhang Renjie and his attendant Hai Erleng had already arrived in Jiao County."
Xiang Chu and Yu Xiaowan looked at each other.
After a while, Xiang Chu ordered: "Shima! Reply to the detachment commander and ask him to find out why the special envoy was late. In addition, we found the body of a comrade from another place in Xiaokouzi. The photo has been sent to him for identification."
"Yes!"
Shima hurriedly sent a telegram.
Not long after, I received a reply: "Boy! You are too suspicious. The special commissioner just led the troops to attack in Dagukou Village and defeated a squadron of the Japanese."
Xiang Chu said thoughtfully: "Why do I feel that this special envoy is unusual?"
Yu Xiaowan sneered, "We are using the 'three battles' method of waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out. Who asked him to take the initiative? It's obvious that he was playing a trick on the enemy."
Xiang Chu glanced at the map and ordered Shima: "Ask Zhang Linmao about the casualties of his troops in the battle at Dagukou Village."
Shima sent the message and received a reply soon after: "Political Commissar! The special commissioner gave random orders and only killed more than 30 devils, and more than 30 people were sacrificed."
Xiang Chu said bitterly: "Shima! Send Madam's suspicions and the true battle record to the detachment commander."
"understand!"
Shima hurriedly accepted the order.
Soon I received a reply: "Don't be jealous, the special envoy fought bravely and was injured."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "My uncle! You don't even know that he is playing a trick of self-torture."
Yu Xiaowan said helplessly: "Forget it, Brother Chu. If Zhang Renjie really has a problem, he will definitely not be able to escape."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "I'm worried that he will overturn our 'three battles' strategy and take the initiative to attack, which will bring us huge sacrifices."
At this time, Shima received another telegram and read:
"Political Commissar! The detachment commander called and the headquarters ordered our army to send half of its forces south to contain the Isogai Renfu Division, and the other half to stay in Jiaoxian to fight against Anami Geometric Division.
After discussing with the special commissioner, you will lead the Guards Battalion and the 5th and 6th Battalions to the south, leaving the 7th Battalion of new recruits to stay in Boli."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Reply to the captain, I will resolutely carry out the order."
Yu Xiaowan said worriedly, "Brother Chu! Can Hu Changsheng's 7th Brigade of New Soldiers hold Boli?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "I left him a secret plan. If there is no major interference, he will definitely be able to hold Boli."
After he finished speaking, he immediately sat down, wrote a long paragraph, put it in an envelope and sealed it.
The next morning, Xiang Chu brought all the personnel of the command post and led the Guards Battalion to leave Boli.
It is late autumn now. The autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves, dyeing the forest in red, adding a sense of solemnity.
Xiang Chu and Yu Xiaowan were sitting in a jeep, and Ma Fugui was driving, moving forward among the Guards Brigade.
Yu Xiaowan looked back at Boli and said with a double meaning: "The harvest season is almost over, and we are about to enter the cold winter."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Indeed! But Uncle Liang has been through many battles, and a special commissioner cannot control him."
At this time, Gan Rong rode up on horseback and reported loudly: "Political Commissar! The detachment commander looked at the photo and said he did not know the comrade who died."
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "Forget it! Let's go to Sunset Village and tell the troops ahead not to go in the wrong direction."
"Yes!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
Jiao County, County Government.
Liang Chuxue was convening a meeting of all the captains and above, and specifically introduced:
"Comrades! This is our special commissioner, Comrade Zhang Renjie. Welcome everyone."
Everyone applauded, but the applause was not that enthusiastic.
Zhang Renjie said amiably: "Everyone! I have poor eyesight and wear glasses, and I am a little fat, but my revolutionary heart is the most determined."
"it is good!"
Liang Chuxue took the lead in applauding him.
Zhang Renjie continued, "I graduated from the Soviet Union's Frunze Military Academy and our party's Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, so I have more than enough military theory. I have participated in hundreds of battles, big and small, and have rich combat experience. According to my research these days, I found that your tunnel warfare, mine warfare, and sparrow warfare are a bit too shabby. Can we fight mobile warfare?"
Ning Qiang couldn't help but say, "No!"
"Yes! No."
Li Tong and Zhang Linmao quickly echoed.
