When Xu Shijiu inspected the prisoners' shelter, he found that there was a fierce quarrel.

In the Battle of Erlongshan, not only the officers and soldiers of the 19th Detachment were participated in the battle, but also militias from nearby districts and townships. Yin Shangwen, as the county magistrate of the Longkou Anti-Japanese Democratic Government, served as the captain of the county brigade at that time. This time he also participated in the battle. After the battle, the county brigade became the main force in cleaning the battlefield.

The main force of Japan, especially the officers and soldiers of the seventeen permanent divisions and more than a dozen special divisions in the early stage, were basically dead and hard militarists. Even if these Japanese soldiers fought to the last person, they would never surrender. Even if they were injured and captured, they would not lose their viciousness and would bite people when they were caught.

However, the combat will of the C-type division and the D-type division were much worse in the middle and late stages.

As for the mixed brigades specially used to undertake garrison tasks, the fighting will is even weaker.

Therefore, after the Battle of Erlongshan ended, the 19th Detachment also captured more than a dozen prisoners.

On how to deal with these dozen prisoners of war, Yin Shangwen, the county magistrate, had a serious disagreement with several commanders of the 19th Detachment. Li Zihan, Lu Jiangang and others demanded that the dozen Japanese prisoners of war be executed on the spot, but Yin Shangwen firmly opposed it. When Xu Shijiu came, the two sides were quarreling fiercely.

"Captain, what do you mean by this?"

"If these little Japanese are not killed, will they be kept?"

"Is it possible that only Japanese people are allowed to kill us, so we are not allowed to kill them."

"I didn't say anything. I killed these little Japanese and immediately killed them, killed them."

Seeing Xu Shijiu, Li Zihan, and several leaders of Lu Jian Gang immediately surrounded him and the crowd was infuriated.

In the previous battles of Shanghai, Nanjing Defense, Lanfeng and other major battles, the 19th Brigade would occasionally catch Japanese prisoners of war, and the way to deal with them was basically shot and executed on the spot. Li Zihan and Lu Jian helped them get used to this set. Now Yin Shangwen suddenly jumped out and asked to detain prisoners of war, so of course they had to jump up.

Xu Shijiu frowned, turned to Yin Shangwen, and said, "Shangwen, what do you think?"

Yin Shangwen said: "Commander, the Geneva Convention stipulates that prisoners of war who surrendered with their weapons cannot be

"You don't have to tell me about the Geneva Convention." Xu Shijiu interrupted Yin Shangwen and turned his head to look at the dozen Japanese prisoners of war. Most of the dozen Japanese prisoners of war were injured. Seeing Xu Shijiu's eyes swept over, they avoided their sight in fear, and none of them dared to look at Xu Shijiu.

Xu Shijiu took his gaze from the prisoners of war and said, "Shangwen, I will ask you, are there any other reasons?"

"Yes." Yin Shangwen nodded without hesitation, "We will kill prisoners of war now, and we can only show off our speed for a moment, but it will not benefit the overall situation of the War of Resistance."

"Hey, this is fresh." Lu Jiangang couldn't help but shout, "Can you let these little Japanese go and let him take up his weapons to kill our people again, which would be beneficial to the overall situation of the War of Resistance?"

Yin Shangwen said: "Of course we cannot let go, at least we cannot do it before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War."

Li Zihan said: "Then, is it beneficial to lock these prisoners of war?"

"Yes, it is good to lock them up." Yin Shangwen said, "First of all, prisoners of war are excellent free labor. They can work hard to make up for our lack of manpower. Secondly, they can also educate these prisoners of war. Through the appearance of these Japanese prisoners of war, they can inspire and instigate more Japanese prisoners of war. In the future, they may even become part of our army and contribute to the entire war of resistance."

"Yin Kesi, your mother is not sick, right?"

"The little Japanese will help us in turn, are you joking?"

"You're kicked in the brain by a donkey? Are you talking nonsense in broad daylight?"

Several team leaders were very happy and sarcastically sarcastic at Yin Shangwen.

Yin Shangwen ignored it and looked at Xu Shijiu and said, "Commander, let me try it. It's always okay to try it. Even if you don't succeed, you can execute them at that time. What do you think?"

Xu Shijiu glanced at more than a dozen prisoners of war and asked, "Shangwen, are you sure you want to give it a try?"

"I'm sure." Yin Shangwen said confidently, "I want to set up an anti-war alliance in Longkou."

The Eighth Route Army has set up an anti-war alliance in the battlefield behind enemy lines in North China. It has now instigated more than a dozen Japanese prisoners of war. Several Japanese soldiers have even really participated in the Eighth Route Army. Yin Shangwen also wanted to try it in Longkou. You should know that instigating Japanese prisoners of war can double the killing and injury, which not only weakened the enemy, but also strengthened himself.

"Okay." Xu Shijiu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

(Split Line)

Although the 19th Detachment failed to completely wipe out the Japanese army that entered the mountains and swept the country, it still caused great shock in southern Anhui.

There is an essential difference between the battlefield behind enemy lines and the front battlefield, and the biggest difference is the scale of the battle.

On the front battlefield, the forces of both sides participating in the war are often 100,000, so the number of casualties is also very shocking. Even the Japanese army often suffers more than 10,000 casualties. However, in the battlefield behind enemy lines, the scale of the battle is often very small. Sometimes the combined force of the two sides participating in the war is only a dozen, and the number of casualties is minimal.

Like the Battle of Erlong Mountain, more than 500 Japanese soldiers were destroyed in one battle, but it has never happened in southern Anhui.

Even if it expands to the whole of China, such victory is extremely rare. The Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army and even the National Army's enemy-behind guerrillas are fighting almost every day, but dozens of Japanese soldiers are killed or even a few Japanese soldiers in each battle. It is already an extremely rare victory for killing and wounding more than one hundred Japanese soldiers at a time.

For example, the Pingxingguan victory, which was famous in history, only annihilated more than a thousand Japanese soldiers, and it was not the main force of the Di Pei regiment's infantry, but the logistics force. Of course, in terms of individual soldiers, the logistics force of the Di Pei regiment is actually not much worse than the infantry of the four infantry regiments, which is just a nominal difference.

In short, it is extremely rare to annihilate more than 500 Japanese troops at one time on the battlefield behind enemy lines.

Therefore, shortly after the Erlongshan battle ended, the Kuomintang's Third War Zone and the New Fourth Army headquarters were alarmed.

Gu Zhutong, commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Third War Zone, was extremely shocked after hearing the news. You should know that at this time, the Third War Zone had only more than 100,000 troops, but it could not afford a small-scale offensive operation. The main reason was that there was a lack of ammunition. In war, it was not enough to have an army alone, but it had to have money and ammunition.

Also, the combat effectiveness of the army in the Third War Zone has declined to a dissatisfaction.

The troops in the Third War Zone were originally the strongest combat effectiveness among the nine major war zones of the Kuomintang. However, after the Battle of Songhu and the Nanjing Defense Battle, the original veterans were almost dead. The new recruits behind were basically arrested. These strong men had neither strong physical fitness nor strong military qualities, nor strong fighting will. These strong men didn't even know why they fought, but they died and didn't know why they died.

Therefore, even offensive operations of the third war zone above the regiment were unable to be launched.

Of course, Gu Zhutong never thought of counterattacking, nor did he think of regaining an inch of land from a young Japanese. In Gu Zhutong's concept, it would be a blessing to be able to defend the existing control area. Counterattack? Isn't that a joke? There are only tens of thousands of mobs and tens of thousands of broken guns. What kind of counterattack is it?

In this situation, Gu Zhutong suddenly heard that the 19th Detachment had won a big victory, and they all wiped out a mixed brigade of Japan. How could Gu Zhutong not be surprised? The army of more than 100,000 people in the third war zone dared not provoke Japan. The 19th Detachment only dared to make it bad, and it also made the tiny Japan dirty. This person cannot be compared with people, and the army cannot be compared with the army.

After putting down the telegram, Gu Zhutong said to Huang Baitao with emotion: "Chief of Staff, Xu Shijiu is really capable. The 19th Detachment only had more than 2,000 troops, and even annihilated a mixed brigade of Japan. It's unimaginable that the troops in our third war zones should all be as capable as the 19th Detachment. Hehe, it's no problem to restore Hangzhou."

After a pause, Gu Zhutong asked thoughtfully again: "The Communist Party's sparrow tactics are so powerful?

Senior generals of the National Army, whether they were students of the Baoding Military Academy in the early stages or the Whampoa Military Academy in the first six periods, had a strong sense of regular military complex. Even later students of the Central Military Academy attached great importance to their regular military honors. The specific manifestation was that they emphasized dignified formation battles and despised the Communist Party's guerrilla tactics from the bottom of their bones.

However, during the ten-year civil war, the Chinese army suffered enough losses from the Communist guerrilla tactics.

After the War of Resistance Against Japan entered a stalemate, the Communist Party's guerrilla tactics gradually began to exert their power. Now, the main energy of the Japanese invaders has shifted from the front battlefield to the battlefield behind enemy lines. In this way, the activities of the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party and the New Fourth Army have not been weakened at all, but have a tendency to become stronger and stronger when fighting.
