Zhang Songling was a little anxious at first. Hearing Hongbeard speak so easily, his nerves that had been tense immediately relaxed. After thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Yes, the Japanese devils would not allow us to develop under their noses. Come early and come late, and we will come eventually, but"

After a pause, he reminded carefully, "I heard from Sakai Gaoming that the Japanese troops sent this time are probably much larger than before, and their combat effectiveness will probably be much higher. According to his meaning, the Japanese who are familiar with the local situation will not be transferred, but will be replenished in the new team nearby."

"At worst, I can throw the camp to him. If I don't believe it, I can still bite me and never let go." Hongbei still looked indifferent and continued to smile and give everyone a reassurance. "Anyway, our workshops are as you said. Each family only maintains a scale of about ten people. I heard that the Japanese have come here and put the materials on the back of the horse and can move them immediately."

"That's right." Zhang Songling, Zhao Tianlong and others were infected by the optimistic attitude of Red Beard and agreed with a smile. "At worst, you can throw the raw materials to him. I don't believe that the Japanese can also move the worthless wool and rotten bones away as spoils."

"Eat first, eat, after dinner, you three go take a shower and take a nap. When you are fully nourished, we will hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with the Japanese." Hongbei waved her arm and told the three of them to rest with confidence.

"Yes." Zhang Songling, Zhao Tianlong and Zhao Xiaoshuan wiped the sweat from their faces, smiled and went down to have a meal. After dinner, they slept steadily for another afternoon. In the evening, they were awakened by the red-bearded guard Xiao Zou, and went to the brigade headquarters to attend the meeting in full spirit.

In the conference room of the brigade headquarters, other middle-level cadres had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Zhang Songling and others coming in, Hongbei gently shouted and announced loudly, "Since we are all in one person, we will have a meeting now. The news brought back by Captain Zhang and Captain Zhao, two big and small, I have sent a telegram in the afternoon to verify the superior units. According to preliminary feedback, there is indeed a Japanese soldier moving westward from Shenyang and Yixian areas, but the specific scale, current location and their final destination are still to be further determined. The Japanese may divide their troops to Chifeng and Duolun areas in the middle, and it is also possible that they will all be sent to Heishi Village."

"Come all, if you come all, how many people will there be," Despite hearing some news in advance, the cadres who were re-seat still spoke in surprise. Due to the influence of many factors such as weapons, equipment, morale and training, the strength of the Japanese regular army far exceeded that of ordinary left-behind troops, and even surpassed the puppet Manchukuo troops. According to their previous combat experience, a full-scale Japanese regular squadron was enough to defeat three to four ordinary left-behind squadrons, and when encountering the private soldiers of the puppet army and the Mongolian prince, one was even more ten.

"It seems to be a standard infantry brigade, but it may not be all sent to Heishi Village. Otherwise, the Japanese devils will look down on us too much." Hongbei smiled and introduced to everyone truthfully, as if she had never considered how serious disaster a whole brigade of Japanese devils would bring to the surrounding areas of Heishi Village.

"Hiss." Everyone, including Zhang Songling, immediately took a breath of air. A standard Japanese infantry brigade, even if it was less, was organized by three squadrons, and was usually equipped with more than a dozen crooked heavy machine guns and several infantry artillery. A Kwantung Army of this size was enough to sweep all the forces around Heishi Village, including Zhou Heicang's Jinsui Army Independence Battalion and the Red Bearded Eighth Route Army Black Stone Guerrilla Detachment.

"Why, everyone is scared!" Hongbei tapped the table with her fingers a few times and asked with a sneer.

"It may not be afraid, but I just feel that it is a little troublesome to deal with it." Everyone smiled embarrassedly and responded in a low voice, and no one admitted that they were afraid before the fight.

"Brave, I'm obviously afraid, it's okay to be afraid. I know that I'm afraid, which means that the recent period of calm has not made everyone confused. Not only are you afraid, but I'm also afraid." Red Beard smiled again, pointing at his head without much black hair and laughing loudly, "To be honest, when I saw the telegram for the first time this afternoon, I was really a little dizzy, but then I thought again, being afraid is useless. The Japanese will not just come and attack us just because I'm afraid of him. If we don't fire a shot, we will scare ourselves to death. Wouldn't it be that the Japanese will take a big advantage?"

"Hehehehehehehehehehehe" the cadres laughed awkwardly, feeling ashamed of their previous performance. They were afraid that what they could do was to control it. They could only count if they were mules or horses. At worst, they would die in battle on the battlefield. Anyway, they did not become slaves when they were alive in this life, and they could walk horizontally even after they died.

"It doesn't matter. Since the enemy is coming in a fierce manner, let's prepare for the worst." Red Beard pressed his hand down and continued, "What is the worst situation? Let's throw the old nest, the villages and pastures around the camp to the Japanese. We burrowed into the sand nest in shame, but what can the Japanese get? Mines, no, factories, no, food, cloth, guns and ammunition. We don't have them yet. We don't have enough of it. We can't throw it to them. If we have the ability, he will keep blocking the entrance of the desert and not letting us out. I'm afraid that their own soldiers will not agree. They can't bear the crime and cannot provide logistics supplies."

"Hahahahaha," all the cadres laughed out loud. As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. Compared with the Kwantung Army who are armed to the teeth, the guerrillas are barefoot poor men. There is nothing they cannot give up or nothing they can't let go. At worst, they can take the Japanese to a long-distance trip in the desert to see who will exhaust who will die of exhaustion in the end.

"But we can't find a way to cut some meat from him just because the enemy is too strong!" Seeing that the expressions on everyone's faces became more and more relaxed, Red Beard began to bring the conversation to the topic of tonight. "Lao Lu introduced to me the way the guerrillas could deal with Chairman Jiang's encirclement and suppression by hundreds of thousands of troops. Of course, now Chairman Jiang has made peace with us. We can't continue to deal with him with this method, but to deal with the Japanese."

Speaking of this, he quietly looked at Zhang Songling from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that there was no obvious disgusting expression on the latter's face, he felt relaxed. After thinking about it, he continued: "To be specific, it is just sixteen words, 'The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy stands and I disturb me, the enemy is tired, I attack me, the enemy retreats and I chase me'."

The environment in the conference room immediately became quiet. The cadres were either immersed in the contemplation of the sixteen-character experience, or remembered the sacrificed deputy captain Lu Feng, and his face became very serious. He waited silently for a while. Seeing that everyone was thinking almost the same, Red Beard knocked off the table and continued: "Even if the Japanese in this brigade were not all for the Heishi Village. We should try not to do anything about fighting hard with the Japanese. To be honest, with our current strength, we will definitely not be able to fight hard, and we can't fight hard. Our only way is to exercise, keep taking Japanese soldiers to exercise, then turn around, bite him hard, and then continue to spit on the scoop. The grassland is so big, see when the Japanese chase."

"Yes, guerrillas, naturally, they cannot use the tactics of regular troops."

"I don't know if the Japanese are coming from cavalry or infantry, how many cars are there. If there are fewer cars, we can basically guarantee when we fight."

The enthusiasm of the cadres was quickly mobilized again. Based on the current actual situation of the guerrillas, they began to actively offer suggestions to Red Beard.

"Fight, run and fight, let's ride on horseback, take a bite here today, and take a bite there tomorrow, and bite the Japanese sooner or later!"

"I made an appointment with Zhou Heichang and gave the job of taking the Japanese for a walk. He was responsible for taking advantage of the situation behind him. Seeing the opportunity, he brought down Heishi Village again to see if the Japanese were uncomfortable." Someone took advantage of his previous experience and proposed a strategy to join forces with the independent battalion of the Jinsui Army.

"You can't just rely on Zhou Heichang. It's better to ask for some reinforcements from the military sub-district. If the military sub-district can send us some reinforcements. There is no need to have too many. Two squadrons can make it easier for us to arrange troops." Some people were fantastic and placed their hopes of winning the final victory on the superior department. "We drag the Japanese in front, and the reinforcements are hidden in some place to wait for their work. When the Japanese were dragged to the top, they rushed over and bit off his tail."

"I think beautifully." Someone immediately retorted loudly, "The brothers closest to us are also six hundred miles away, so it is not so easy to come."

"That's not necessarily the case. It depends on how the superior arranges it." The refuted person was unwilling to give up and continued to stick to his ideas loudly.

Seeing that everyone was becoming more and more out of reality, Red Beard shook his head and had to interrupt again, "Don't count on reinforcements. The Japanese learned the lessons that they were eager to achieve in the past some time. After the beginning of spring, they gradually dispatched troops from the front line and the local area to start a large-scale counterattack to all guerrilla areas. At present, the Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Region and the Chabei Military Sub-district are also facing great pressure."

Although I understand that saying this will inevitably disappoint many people. Red Beard thought about it and decided to explain the truth about the national battlefield to everyone. "The Japanese launched a new round of mobilization in the Jin-Cha-Hebei region. The scale of military investment is higher than ours. Many guerrillas suffered the most serious losses since their establishment due to insufficient preparation work. So at this critical moment, you want me to report and ask the superior units to reinforce the Black Stone Guerrilla Detachment. That is absolutely undiscussed. From the experience of other battlefields, allies around us may be difficult to count on when the Japanese army is approaching. Especially the little prince Bai Yin, it is very rare to take the opportunity to stab the guerrillas in the back. Don't think that we have a business with him and will show mercy to our subordinates."

"This" everyone smiled and shook their heads again. The head, which had been a little hot before, was quickly cooled down by the cold water of the red beard.

"If we are not good at it, we will fall against the wall and fall against the trees, and even if we are relying on a mountain, we will still lose a lot." He picked up the tea bowl and drank a sip of water. Red Beard continued to smile, "So if we want to get rid of the crisis, we can only rely on ourselves and show some real skills. Let the Japanese suffer first, understand that we are not easy to mess with, and then we can calm Baiyin and Baolige and other bad people, so they dare not stab us behind us at critical moments."

"Yes, it's not a big deal to hide. If you should be shining, you have to shining the guys." Zhao Tianlong likes to hear this sentence the most, and immediately stand up and echo loudly, "Even if you don't fight with the Japanese, you can't be too spoiled to them. When you see the opportunity, you will give him a moment. As long as we fight beautifully, Bai Yin and others will naturally be scared and dare not act rashly."

"The key is how to find an opportunity," Zheng, the first squadron leader, also agreed with Zhao Tianlong's idea, nodded and whispered, "There are all the troops that our guerrillas can mobilize, including the international battalion, and there are only about 200 people. If you want to fight quickly, the enemy's strength cannot exceed half a squadron. If you have more than half a squadron, it may be difficult to chew them in a short time, and then escape unscathed."

This sentence is also very consistent with the matter. With the current strength of the guerrillas, they are far enough to compete with the Japanese with the same force. They can only find opportunities, concentrate all their strength, and cut off one finger. However, the Japanese's transportation ability is really not small. With the help of cars, they can easily put a whole squadron into a stalemate in two hours. Once the guerrillas cannot withdraw in time, the identities of prey and hunters will be completely reversed. By then, not to mention cutting meat from the Japanese, they will be lucky to not be forced to cut off their arm.

The truth often sounds uncomfortable, but the middle-level cadres in the guerrilla team grew up in battle. They knew the strength of the enemy and the shortcomings of their current side. They repeatedly considered the opinions of the squadron leader Lao Zheng, and carefully considered the strength comparison between the enemy and us, looked at each other, and began to come up with new response plans one after another.

"It is impossible for the Japanese to take all the cars. We can try to walk around the river or take the Japanese to the desert. As long as the cars are out of touch with the follow-up troops, we will turn around and get rid of the cars."

"You can also set up an ambush at the scheduled location, catch the Japanese off guard, and then ride on a horse and quickly leave the battlefield."

"Contact with Zhou Heizi, and we will cooperate with both of us."

Everyone did their best and spoke very enthusiastically. After a while, they came up with more than a dozen methods. It was not as illusory as before. This time, the strategies proposed by everyone were much more feasible, but after careful consideration, they all had many flaws, and they needed to spend a lot of effort to improve and supplement.

Red Beard listened to the ears for a while, and suddenly found that Zhang Songling had been lowering his head and studying the map placed in the center of the crime. He knocked on the table hard and asked loudly, "Fatty, do you have any ideas? Can you tell them first for everyone. We are the only ones who have fought with the Japanese front-line troops."

"Ah." Zhang Songling's thinking was interrupted and he raised his head in surprise, "I, my thoughts may not be very mature."

"Tell me, our ideas are immature, haven't we said it the same?" Redbeard looked at him with a smile, with encouragement on his face.

"Yes, let's talk about it. You are experienced and have a good brain." The cadres turned their heads to Zhang Songling, with envy in their eyes.

Everyone knows that the fat black man in front of him is the person the old captain values ​​the most. Sometimes he values ​​it so much that everyone is jealous, but the skill of the fat black man does make people gossip. Whether it is shooting skills, knowledge, or command ability, they are all selected from a hundred. What makes everyone even more admire is that in addition to fighting, they also know how to make money by doing business. Since the market, salt farm and workshop were opened in recent years, the food level in the entire camp has risen several steps. It cannot be said that there is meat every meal, at least every few days, everyone can get a bowl of mutton soup.

"The key at the moment is that there is a serious lack of intelligence." Zhang Songling knew that Red Beard was deliberately creating opportunities for him to show his performance. While grateful, he stood up with some helplessness and responded in a low voice, "We don't know the general scale of the enemy, nor do we know the command style of the Japanese officers. Many ideas are inevitably air-to-air, and the more we discuss, the more we feel weak."

"Hehehe" Everyone burst into laughter again. If you don't say it's nervous, that person who is purely self-deception. The reason why everyone said so much before was because they were really unsure. At this moment, Zhang Songling's words were exposed, and it felt that his face was hot, and even the chair under the butt was burned.

"It doesn't matter if the air is against the air. Just treat it as we talk about it on paper. The Japanese's troops are calculated as the maximum. A whole brigade, plus the Japanese and puppet troops in the Black Stone Village, one brigade and two squadrons, is at the forefront." Hongbei waved her hand and made a request with a smile.

"Then we must take the initiative in the intelligence and predict the next trend of the Japanese in advance." Recalling the previous experience of fighting with the Japanese invaders, and combined with the current actual situation, Zhang Songling continued, "Since we have already had the telegram, we must make full use of it, so that the military sub-district and military district can provide us with some convenience as much as possible to avoid being caught off guard by the Japanese, and avoid underestimating the strength of the Japanese invaders and causing unnecessary losses to ourselves."

"Yes, this is reasonable. I will arrange a telecommunications team immediately. Even if I cheat, I will ask the military sub-district to think of more solutions for us in terms of intelligence." Red Beard nodded and whispered to ask for reinforcements from my superiors. It is probably a bit troublesome, but it is relatively easier to ask for intelligence support. After all, the Eighth Route Army has already established a relatively complete intelligence network in the enemy-occupied area. Asking them to help us find out the general trend of a Japanese army should not be considered a problem for the superiors.

"We can't just wait for the information from our superiors, we can think of some local solutions." With only a few words, Zhang Songling showed the difference between other cadres. His thinking is more logical and his combat awareness is more proactive. "The Japanese came from the northeast and should not know much about what the herders on the grassland look like. We spent money to buy some sheep from the herders around us, and divided it into small groups of more than twenty. Find a few bold and careful soldiers to rush to the east of Heishi Village to grazle, which should not arouse the Japanese's suspicion."

"What if the Japanese rob the sheep," someone immediately raised his hand and questioned loudly.

"If you grab the sheep, leave them. Our own people immediately jumped on the horse and ran away. They couldn't bear to leave the child and could not trap the wolf." Zhao Tianlong glanced at the questioner and rushed to answer for Zhang Songling.

"If the Japanese rob sheep, our people will show whatever they are when they encounter this situation. The primary principle is not to arouse the Japanese's suspicion. As for property losses, we can only ignore it for the time being." Zhang Songling smiled and continued to add.

"Hi!" Everyone smiled and smacked their lips. The guerrillas were poor. No matter how cheap the sheep were on the grassland, each of them had to have a piece of the ocean. Before they could fight with the Japanese, they spent hundreds of dollars on the ocean. It made people feel painful to think about it.

"I think it's worth it than asking the soldiers to make unnecessary sacrifices." Red Beard waved his hand and said, "Just do it this way. I'll send someone down the mountain to buy sheep early tomorrow morning. Captain Zhang continued, "When we have accurate information, what will we do next."

"If we have accurate intelligence support, what we should do next is to make full use of the guerrillas' familiarity with the surrounding geographical environment, so that every battle will happen on the battlefield we choose. Either don't fight, or if we want to fight, let the Japanese fight according to their own plan. Even if we lose some jars and jars for this, we will be willing to do so." Zhang Songling looked up at everyone and continued.

"As for the third thing, it is to create an advantage in military strength in local areas." As he said that, there was a relatively complete and clear idea that slowly appeared in front of everyone. It was not very perfect, but it was far stronger than the previous suggestions of the East Hammer and West Hammer. "In terms of military strength, in addition to the guerrillas themselves, the independent battalion of the Jinsui Army can also serve as a strong support at the necessary moment. Although the strength of the two families is not as good as the Japanese, if they cooperate well, they may not be able to fight the Japanese at the critical moment. "
