Chapter 10 The Price

Looking at the broken walls all over the ground, Xu Shijiu fell into a long silence.

This time, the little Japanese went to the countryside to end and returned to the county town in shame.

It was the third day after the Japanese burned Yanjia Town. Most of the villagers had returned and were looking for something to be recycled among the broken walls. The 4th Regiment of the former Yanjia Town was also back and was helping the elders in the town to clear the ruins and rebuild their homes. However, in the past few months, everyone may have been able to live in authentic buildings.

"Captain, you can't just let it go. You have to find revenge on the Japanese," said Lu Jian Gang viciously.

The 4th Regiment is stationed in Yanjia Town, and the Lu Jian Gang also lives in the home of an old widow. The old lady treats him very well, just like his own son. This time, the little Japanese burned Yanjia Town, and the old lady's courtyard also turned into ashes. I just saw the old lady sitting on the rubble and crying silently. The Lu Jian Gang even had the heart to die.

"Yes, the group leader is right. You can't just forget about this."

"Commander, the little Japanese dares to make trouble on Tai Sui's head and don't want to survive."

"Commander, why not call all troops now and attack the county town."

Several battalion commanders also started to shout, and they all threatened to attack the county town.

"No," Xu Shijiu suppressed the shouts of several battalion commanders without hesitation, and said, "It's easy to say. Is the county town so easy to fight?"

"Last time, didn't you take down the county town?" Lu Jianbang said unconvincedly.

"Can we compare?" Xu Shijiu glared at Lu Jian Gang and said, "There were less than two squadrons in the small Japanese that returned to the county town last time. We also let us destroy one squadron at the mouth of the carp. Just this, it took a lot of time to fight the county town. Now, a whole infantry brigade, a cavalry team and an artillery team. Can this be compared?

"Then, let it go?" Lu Jian helped to turn his head and said, "Captain, the villagers are all looking at us. We eat and wear theirs. A few days ago, little Japanese came over, but we patted our butts and hid. The little Japanese burned their houses and was not sure. We pretended not to know, what should they think of us?

Xu Shijiu was speechless. He didn't know how to answer the Lu Jian Gang, and he didn't know how to face the thousands of fellow villagers in Yanjia Town. Do you have to tell the fellow villagers: fellow villagers, our southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army is not strong enough and cannot fight against the Japanese. So, I can only be sorry for you and sacrifice you.

The fellow villagers in Yanjia Town lived frugally and asked their children to join the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui. Isn’t it just for the sake of the little Japanese to fight, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui? But what about now?

At this time, Yin Shangwen brought two young people over, and heard this and followed Lu Jian's gang talk: "Captain Lu, of course, you can't just forget it. The little Japanese not only burned our house, but also killed many of us. If we don't revenge this blood feud, will we still be the People's Army? Are we still a human?"

Due to the timely early warning, most of the township parties in Yanjia Town evacuated in time, but there were still a few small villages around that had not been notified or evacuated, which were blood-scrapped by Japanese people. Finally, the casualties were counted, and more than 200 people were injured and killed, and the losses of property such as houses, furniture, livestock and other property are even more inestimable.

"Hey, do you still agree with revenge? It's rare?" Lu Jian gang said.

The components of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui are extremely complex, and it is a microcosm of the national anti-Japanese united front. Generally speaking, everyone is not getting along well, but there is no big difference. However, in terms of strategies and tactics, officers from regular army backgrounds such as Lu Jian Gang and Li Zihan are somewhat dissatisfied with the sparrow tactics.

In the view of Lu Jian Gang, Li Zihan and others, when fighting a war, it should be a good place to fight with the little Japanese, hiding in the deep mountains, old forests, authentic tunnels and riversides. What is the ability to hide and seek with the little Japanese? If Xu Shijiu hadn't repeatedly sternly warned these regiments, the battalion commander would have led the troops to fight with the little Japanese head-on.

Faced with the ridicule of the Lu Jian Gang, Yin Shangwen was not angry and said, "Captain Lu, listen to me first. The little Japanese burned our homeland and killed our compatriots. Of course, this blood feud will be avenged, but not now. At this stage, the situation of the entire war of resistance is still that the enemy is strong and we are weak. We still need to avoid the enemy's front and find an opportunity to annihilate the enemy."

"Looking for opportunities, looking for opportunities, what kind of opportunities should we look for?" Lu Jianbang said angrily.

Yin Shangwen said: "A small Japanese infantry brigade has been squadron. We can't do anything about them, but they can't be at this scale every time they go out. They always have their own time. When the small Japanese is left alone, we will assemble the main force and give the small Japanese a little ruthless like the last time they were in the carp's mouth."

Lu Jianbang said: "What should the little Japanese keep raising a group?"

Yin Shangwen said: "Then they will not use anything. Every day, just running back from the county town and the countryside, they can drag them to death and be exhausted. When they are tired, tired and lose weight, let's give them ruthlessness. What is the essence of guerrilla warfare? The essence of guerrilla warfare is that the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy stands and we disturb us, the enemy is tired, and we fight, and the enemy retreats and we chase."

Lu Jianbang said: "Retreat, we can leave with our butt, but what should the people do? Let's take another step back, even if the people can retreat to the mountains in advance, what about their houses? What about their family property? Every time a little Japanese comes over, they either burn or kill. How many guys do the people have? How many houses are there for them? How many houses are they burned for them?"

Xu Shijiu also looked back at Yin Shangwen. He also had the same confusion and problems as Lu Jian Gang.

To put it bluntly, watching the little Japanese burn the houses of ordinary people and smash the common people's guys, while the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army could only hide aside and stare. Xu Shijiu was a little embarrassed to overcome this hurdle in his heart.

Yin Shangwen sighed and whispered: "Captain Lu, this is the price we must pay."

"The price must be paid?" Lu Jianbang said in a hurry, "What do we need to do with this? Can we fight against Japan? First of all, as long as we fight and work hard, even if we fail to protect the people's property in the end, then we can feel at ease, right? Look, now, the people are poking our backbone behind us."

Yin Shangwen said: "Captain Lu, the militia and the 5th Battalion fought and worked hard."

Lu Jianbang said: "That doesn't count, I mean gathering the entire 19th Detachment to compete with the Japanese."

Yin Shangwen said: "But have you ever thought about Captain Lu? What if the 19th Detachment lost?"

Lu Jianbang said: "Even if you lose, we can still feel at ease."

Yin Shangwen said: "Haha, if you really want to fight all of them, you can be at ease, but there is no hope for hundreds of thousands of people in Longkou County. If we expand to the whole of China, if our Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army fight hard with Japan in order to ensure their own peace of mind, they will definitely take all of them. At that time, who should the people in the occupied areas be counted on?"

The Lu Jian Gang was silent. When that time came, no one could count on the people in the occupied areas.

Yin Shangwen continued: "At that time, the vast majority of people in the occupied areas could only accept the enslavement of Japan and lived without dignity from then on. From then on, they could no longer speak Chinese and be Chinese. Commander Lu, for your own peace of mind, they ignored the safety of the entire country and the entire nation. Don't you feel a little selfish?"

"Hey, I thought about fighting with the little Japanese, but in the end I became selfish? I became a sinner who ignored the safety of the country and the nation?" Lu Jianbang was confused when he heard this, "What did you say?"

Yin Shangwen said: "Captain Lu, think about it carefully, isn't that the case?"

The Lu Jian Gang was silent and calmed down and thought about it carefully. It seemed that this was true.

Xu Shijiu suddenly said, "But have you ever thought about Shangwen? Maybe everyone understands these great principles. In order to preserve our vitality, we choose to avoid the enemy's edge. What will the town party think? Lao Lu did not tell any lies. Someone was poking our backbone just now, and I also heard it with my own ears."

Yin Shangwen said: "Commander, there is nothing we can do about this. If we can't even bear this little grievance, then let's not fight against Japan as soon as possible. Yu Qian can stay wherever he gets cool."
