"I can understand the mood of comrades. Everyone risked their lives and finally took the lead in a county town. Before they could even sit on the hot side, they had to give up. To be honest, many people would not understand it, and I couldn't understand it at the beginning."

Zhang Qingshan looked and said while walking.

"But, have you ever thought about why the Japanese have been looking for our main force to fight?"

Zhang Qingshan came to a store that closed the store, looked at it, and continued to move forward.

"That's because the Japanese soldiers are powerful, but there are few people. In the main decisive battle, the soldiers are powerful enough to make up for the disadvantage of the small number of people and can even be transformed into advantages. However, every time the Japanese occupy a city, they must divide their troops to guard it. China is vast and has many cities. Every city of the Japanese will send troops to guard it. In this way, their shortcomings of already few soldiers will be greatly amplified. At that time, they will have to divide their troops to guard it, and there will be loopholes everywhere. However, if they do not guard it, they will lose the meaning of occupation, and they will not be able to achieve their strategic purpose of using war to support the war, and they will lose the advantage of concentrating superior forces for decisive battles, and they can only focus on defense... Of course, this is a strategic matter, let's talk about what's happening in front of them."

"At present, we have sufficient troops, but we are still far from being elite soldiers. In terms of weapons, we still cannot compete with the Japanese... The Japanese are busy with the Taiyuan Battle and have no time to take care of the rear, so we have given us a chance to take over this county town in one fell swoop. To put it bluntly, we are taking advantage of the rear loopholes caused by the Japanese focusing on the Taiyuan Battle... But think about it carefully. When the Taiyuan Battle is over, no matter what the outcome, the Japanese will inevitably concentrate their troops and turn around to deal with us. That is the time to test us..."

"Modern wars are no longer crowded with people. Otherwise, our population is several times larger than that of the Japanese, but why are we still occupied so many places by the Japanese? And this question is the problem we are facing at the moment... Comrades, the old saying goes that only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. We must not only know our own advantages and disadvantages, but also understand the advantages and disadvantages of the Japanese. Therefore, don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, but based on our own actual abilities, and look at the problems from a long-term perspective... Lao Qi, Lao Liu, am I speaking official words again?"

Qi Zixuan and Liu Bing looked at each other, and nodded at Zhang Qingshan at the same time.

"I don't know how to do it. I've always liked to talk about these things recently..." After blaming himself, Zhang Qingshan continued: "Let's go back to the question in front of us. If you don't say anything else, I will ask two questions: First, once the Japanese fight back with all their strength, can we defend this county town just by relying on the existing strength of our assault regiment?"

After looking at them, Zhang Qingshan shook his head and said, "I personally think that I can't defend it. We must admit this fact, not only because our current strength is still very weak, but more importantly, we are still in a dispersed state and cannot obtain any favorable support at the first time, especially the support of brothers... To put it bluntly, we have not formed an effective base, and there are no strategic space and tactical mutual support. Therefore, from this perspective, defending here will be equivalent to turning our advantages into disadvantages, and there will still be Japanese to beat them in the pond, thus losing the essence of our guerrilla warfare. Instead, we insist on the gains and losses of one city and one place too one-sidedly... The old saying goes, " said that people gain and land, and land lose land, this is the truth."

"The second reason is that based on the previous reason, we do not have the support of brother troops, and relying on our own strength alone, we cannot form much advantage. On the other hand, the Japanese, relying on the weapons advantages of aircraft and cannons and their maneuvers, cannons, and they can quickly mobilize a large number of forces to deal with us. By that time, we will form a group of Japanese soldiers alone... Our assault regiment is not as large as the Japanese soldiers in terms of numbers, weapons and equipment, or activity space. The so-called right time, place, people and people are not on our side. This is destined that no matter how hard we try, we cannot defend this city. So, why do we still waste our limited troops in this inevitable failure? Why don't we take the initiative to give up this dead land, and then seek favorable fighter jets in the movement, annihilate Japanese soldiers, and consume the Japanese soldiers' lack of troops and materials?"

"So, I advocate taking the initiative to give up here... Of course, before the Japanese devils turn around and deal with us, we must take advantage of the Japanese devils' military strength and weak strength to deal with them. We must let them remember that in this Chinese land, the backbone Chinese have not yet died, and their good days will never come. Even if they dream, they must always dream of us and be afraid of us. In this way, those people must carefully consider the consequences before choosing to work for the Japanese devils... In this way, the Japanese devils' "ears" and "eyes" can be minimized, which will be more conducive to the anti-Japanese situation in our area."

At the end, Zhang Qingshan said vigorously: "To put it bluntly, everything we do now is to prepare in advance for the real battle with the Japanese in the future."

"You two are senior cadres of our assault regiment and must play an example. After you go back, you must patiently explain the current situation and future situation to your comrades, try to appease everyone's emotions, and relieve all kinds of negative thoughts in your heart... This is not only the responsibility you as battalion commanders and soldiers, but also your task."

To be honest, Zhang Qingshan’s words are indeed loud. But when he thinks about it carefully, he seems to be a hand-off manager. If he hadn’t had a good partner often wiped his butt, he would have been upset with this. This can be seen from the fact that he handed over the two Japanese devils and prisoners to Hu Yingze for ideological work. Even if this is the responsibility of Hu Yingze, a political cadre, as the leader of the regiment, would he have to remember it? Shouldn’t he do what he said now?

"I understand if you say that." Liu Bing nodded solemnly: "I will follow what you said and teach the comrades well."

Qi Zixuan, who was standing by, nodded seriously, saying that he would do the same. However, he thought about it, looked at the surrounding shops, and asked, "Lao Zhang, even though that is the case, the surrounding shops are always not open, which is also a big problem!"

"This is the matter of the propaganda team. I have ordered the propaganda team to move the masses and encourage everyone to support the war of resistance. I think that as long as we motivate one family, it will have a chain effect..." Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan smiled and said, "Everyone will do their own duties! Otherwise, why did the division headquarters send these twenty political cadres and experts who propaganda to the masses? Do you think the food in our assault group is better than that of the division headquarters?"

Qi Zixuan and Liu Bing laughed at the end, and then they said goodbye.

He told Qi Zixuan and Liu Bing very well, and it seemed that he was planning and everything was under his control. But as soon as they left, Zhang Qingshan immediately said to a correspondent soldier: "Go and ask Sister Chen of the propaganda team, is the mission going smoothly?"

I just walked to the former Japanese military camp, which is the gate of the temporary command of the assault regiment, and I was thinking of asking Lao Wang, the cooking team, how did he prepare for the comrades' dinner? The war was very hard and there was no oil or water in my stomach to support it. Similarly, after winning a big victory, I naturally had to celebrate. Although it was difficult to hold a celebration meeting at this time, and there was no time to hold it, I had to improve the food for everyone. I couldn't win the battle, and I also let the soldiers eat sweet potatoes and pumpkin soup every day. This is not Zhang Qingshan's style and character.

Sister Chen happened to arrive quickly.

Sister Chen’s real name is Chen Jiao. Although she looks cute when she looks like a name, she is rather dark, very cheerful, and has a very good mouth. In addition, she is 34 years old this year, so the assault team calls her Sister Chen warmly from top to bottom. At the same time, she is also one of the twenty political cadres sent by her superiors. She is currently the deputy captain of the propaganda team, leading the propaganda team here this time.

"Captain, are you looking for me?"

When Zhang Qingshan saw Sister Chen, his first reaction was: he shouldn't have sent the two Japanese to the regiment headquarters so easily. He should use Sister Chen's slutty to teach them political and ideological classes, and let them taste the embarrassing feeling of being speechless and speechless.

Knowing that Sister Chen was busy with work, Zhang Qingshan stood at the gate and talked to her about work.

"Sister Chen, I came here all the way and saw that the shops were closed. Why, are you having difficulties in your work?"

"Yeah!" Sister Chen was indeed generous, nodded and admitted directly, and also gave a reason: "The main difficulty is that the people are worried that we will leave after a war, and then the Japanese will take revenge on them."

Just like the reasons mentioned by Qi Zixuan and Liu Bing before, it seems that this is indeed the root cause.

"Also, when I was working for the people, although they were worried about what I said before, they had no resistance to our Eighth Route Army. They just didn't dare to be the first to open the door and were waiting and watching. So, I think that as long as a gap is opened, this problem can be solved. But the problem now is that they are all with their families, and even if they want to open the door, they have to consider it for their families."

Speaking of this, she looked at Zhang Qingshan and smiled and said, "Captain, I have not done my job well, so please criticize and educate me. However, Chief, I heard that you have the reputation of being quick and wise, please give me some advice."

"You are tying my army!"

"Captain, this is not what I praise you. Go outside and ask, from the division commander to the recruits, you know what you are so smart about in the battle. Who do you know? There are so many stories about you on the Long March, so I won't say it, just talk about the previous Tianlong Mountain defense battle. Take a look and give some advice, and immediately turn the precarious situation around. Let us turn defeat into victory, but we can also achieve the greatest result with the smallest loss..." Sister Chen smiled and flattered Zhang Qingshan for a long time. Seeing that Zhang Qingshan was a little embarrassed by her words, Sister Chen suddenly changed: "Besides, Commander, I am not your army, but because I am a stupid person and I am really powerless to do anything about the current dead end, so I have to ask an expert like you to give me some advice...Captain, everyone is just to fight the Japanese, so don't be humble."

If you don’t say “The scenery before the people is beautiful, but the suffering is behind the people”, who makes you like to show off when you have nothing to do?

OK! Now Sister Chen is really the one who is in charge of the army. For the four words "urgent wisdom before the battle", it is impossible not to come up with a good solution...
