Chapter 1180 Militia! Militia!
Some experts have done statistics: During the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army was best at night wars, and the most powerful one was night wars.
Because many times, the Eighth Route Army lost its position during the day and organized suicide squads at night, and most of them were able to regain the positions they lost during the day. This also led to the Japanese who were most afraid of the Eighth Route Army's tactics. Later on, they even felt a little like a piece of grass and trees, especially at night.
In fact, the Eighth Route Army had to do such a night attack. Otherwise, who would not want to kill the opponent head-on, and who would not want to fight the opponent head-on and throw away his armor, and then he would tremble when he heard his name? But the problem is that the Eighth Route Army at that time did not have that strong strength at all.
It was not easy for the Eighth Route Army to go from nothing to something, and then to gain a foothold. Not to mention anything else, the Eighth Route Army did not have its own weapons and ammunition production line at that time, and could not even make a bullet. All weapons and equipment were seized. In this way, how did you ask the Eighth Route Army to put on a stance with the Japanese? Wasn't that joke about the lives of the soldiers... That is, the three divisions recognized by ** had some ability to fight head-on with the Japanese because they got some of the ** equipment at the beginning... In fact, later, ** didn't even give the Eighth Route Army a penny. In **'s eyes, the Eighth Route Army had only one name left.
The equipment is not as good as the Japanese, and the training is not as good as the Japanese. Many soldiers are not even full of food, and their economy is even less likely to be compared with Japanese... Under such unfavorable conditions, the only one who is more powerful than the Japanese in the Eighth Route Army is the only one who is better than the Japanese in the Eighth Route Army - the common people!
Many people think that relying on the common people, the Eighth Route Army is like a fish in water. But the problem is that this sentence is easy, but not many people can feel the sadness and tears in it: how many people support the Eighth Route Army in order to support the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese; how many people even take out the only old hen in their family to send food, drinks and medicine to the wounded Eighth Route Army; how many people would rather sacrifice themselves to cover the Eighth Route Army than to reveal the location of even the Eighth Route Army... How many Eighth Route Army soldiers sacrificed themselves to protect the villagers, fought bloody battles with the Japanese, and even sacrificed a whole squad for a commoner.
This is the love of fish and water, the solidified love like the iron watered by blood and life. You have me and I have you, and I have no distinction between each other... So, the love of fish and water is not just a sentence, but a spirit and a belief. Only in this way, and only in this way can this sentence be eternal.
Take Sanqiao County as an example. When the assault regiment was retreating, the people in the county responded to the first and most of the three counties, and basically did not cause trouble for the assault regiment. Even many people knew that the Japanese were coming. When the assault regiment was about to fight the Japanese in the county, they took the initiative to find the people of the assault regiment and requested to strip their houses and use the beams and bricks as construction work; many people even told the people of the assault regiment that they secretly hid their food, salt and other things in their homes, so that the people of the assault regiment could only work; some even had some
The money family patted their chests and told the people of the assault regiment that as long as we can use our house and the cement in my warehouse, it only works, because it is the virtue accumulated by my ancestors and my glory. We are merchants, but we are even more upright Chinese, and we are not comparable to Japanese slaves on the three islands... If it weren't for the people's efforts to destroy them than leave them with the Japanese spirit of desperateness, if it wasn't for the strong support of the people, with the assault regiment itself, if it was with the assault regiment itself, it would be a fool to complete the fortresses and fortifications in the county within a few days. The raw materials alone would be enough to make the assault regiment afraid.
And these are the power source of the assault regiment, the power of the assault regiment, and what the assault regiment needs to protect now.
Although the Second Company and the Fourth Company are now ordered to only need energy to restrain some of the Japanese soldiers, they still suffer casualties from time to time. However, no soldier in the Second Company and the Fourth Company admits his defeat, and even many wounded people would rather die than go off the line of fire. The medical staff and the comrades on the stretcher team were all in tears.
The first and third companies that blocked the enemy head-on, and the two hundred militiamen who were urgently drawn, were even more difficult to fight.
The battle is so fierce, the heart of fighting to the death is so angry, and the artillery fire is so strong that you can see it at a glance just by giving only one example.
Wang Sangui is a sub-machine gunner, and he is watching the main gunner on the left while shooting with a rifle.
However, as the machine gun suddenly became silent.
Wang Sangui turned his head and saw that the main gunner was lying on the machine gun, his eyes wide open, his face turned pale, his lips turned blue, but his eyes had lost their luster, and it was obviously a sacrifice.
Wang Sangui was shocked and quickly picked up the main gunner, but was shocked to find that the main gunner's head was not injured. After careful examination, he found that the main gunner's left shoulder was lowered, and there was a bullet hole not far from his heart. The left half of the main gunner's body was almost stained with blood, and even the place where he just shot was dyed with large areas.
Obviously, the main gunner had been injured long ago, but he just kept holding back and not telling others and continued to fight. In the end, he died of excessive blood loss.
If you are fighting to kill the enemy, you will naturally not need to say more about other aspects.
And most importantly, the performance of the militia was far beyond everyone's expectations.
The assault regiment headquarters kept 500 militias, originally used as reserves. After all, the continuous draw of troops from the city caused a great weakening of the defense power of the entire county town. In order to prevent the situation, the five hundred militias could be kept in time... Of course, there is no way. Everyone knows that positional militias are not as good as regular troops, but where to find them at this time? It is already very good to have 500 militias as reserves. This was only left after Hu Yingze insisted at that time, otherwise they would have been incorporated into the Sanqiao County Guerrilla Brigade.
I don’t know if it was because I was a reserve team, so I was dissatisfied, or because I saw my comrades fighting so fiercely, I was either inspiring my inner anger, or was infected by the fierce atmosphere on the battlefield... In short, the murderous aura shown by these two hundred militias surprised everyone.
Later, when he was fighting a positional war with the Japanese, at the beginning, when he saw these militias, everyone was worried that although these militias had fought in the past, they were basically firing at long distances with the enemy, or they were cooperating with the main force, carrying ammunition on the side, carrying a stretcher, occasionally drawing a small number of people to cooperate in combat, and few people even heard the sound of cannons. This suddenly faced the Japanese's planes, cannons, tanks, and armored vehicles. Not to mention anything else, this formation alone is probably not something that ordinary people can bear.
Many people who have never been to the battlefield and have not experienced artillery bombing will habitually think that there is nothing scary on the battlefield. At worst, when the enemy fires the artillery, I will hide. However, in fact, maybe when you hear the explosion of the shell, you will feel that the end of the world is coming, you will instinctively be afraid, will pee your pants, and even run around like a madman driven by instinctively seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune...
The atmosphere is something that is invisible and intangible, but on the battlefield, there is a very strong feeling about the atmosphere. If you see the enemy coming from all over the mountains, will you be afraid? Whether a veteran or a rookie, you will definitely be afraid. The problem is that veterans know how to overcome this fear, while a rookie will still be afraid. In this fear, you will be afraid so much that you don’t even have a trace of strength, and you may even feel difficulty breathing...
When you see the enemy's huge tank rumble towards you, many people will habitually avoid it, but how many people will rush up with the tank with their bags?
All of this is the disadvantage of a rookie, not to mention that some militias have never heard of the sound of cannons several times in their lifetime. This is the first time I have seen a militia with tanks and armored vehicles?
So, at the beginning, it was normal for everyone to worry about the militia. To put it bluntly, many veterans looked down on these militias, thinking that they would panic in their positions because of fear and fear, and eventually let everyone doom together.
However, Hu Yingze's words, who brought them here in person, aroused the fighting spirit of the militia.
"You are all local, but many people are not from the county town, so some of you will think, 'Anyway, my family is not in the county town, and in the rural mountain villages, even if the Japanese occupy the county town, they may not be able to go to my house', then, I can tell you responsibly that your idea is very wrong. The old saying goes, how can you end up with the collapse of the nest? Think about it yourself, once the county town is occupied by the Japanese, they will not send troops to rob food and grass everywhere? Search for rebels? And in these actions, they will definitely kill people without mercy, burn everyone's houses, and insult your wife and daughter... But, think about it on the other hand, as long as the county town is preserved, then everything is preserved, everyone can continue to live with their heads held high, and when they are old, they can also tell their children and grandchildren about the war today, and they can proudly tell their descendants, 'I also killed Japanese kids back then...'"
After a moment of words, let alone the militias were excited, even the veterans felt a burst of anger burning in their chests.
Then, the militiamen who went to the battlefield fought to the death.
There is a militiaman named Zhang Xiaoma who knows Wuyi, is extremely flexible and has a good brain.
But his luck was not very good. When the Japanese attack began, his left arm was injured, but he was also tough and did not shout, and then continued to fight with his right hand.
Later, he saw the Japanese armored vehicles rushing over in a row and organized suicide squads to blow up the Japanese armored vehicles, and he was the first to sign up.
But he was really lucky today. He was holding a bag and rushed forward thirty or forty meters like a monkey. He was fainted by a shell. He happened to be fainting in a dry ditch...
