In fact, this is strictly speaking no longer called "elastic defense", but it should be said to be "roller-style" defense, because the defense line has no end after layer after layer, like a roller.

The pioneer was Liao Yaoxiang, who was a one-year-old expeditionary force used the fighting style to deal with the Japanese in Myanmar.

At this moment, in order to have more defense depth and better use "elastic defense", the Eighth Route Army accidentally used it.

In this way, the Eighth Route Army's defense line became a war of attrition: some of the mountainous areas consumed the Japanese's troops and supplies, while the plains used tunnel warfare to preserve their strength and attacked the Japanese's supply line.

Because the Japanese have the advantage in equipment and quality, they can still achieve high casualties. The problem is that they are deeply trapped in this war of attrition. The energy consumption of more than 60,000 troops exceeds 400,000 Eighth Route Army?

These things were told by the leader when he came to see Wang Xuexin.

The leader has come to see Wang Xuexin three times, the first two times were when Wang Xuexin was in a coma.

When Wang Xuexin was just sent to the field hospital, the chief of staff threw the command center to the chief of staff and rushed over. As soon as he saw Wang Xuexin covered in blood on the stretcher, he frowned and asked Director Huang of the field hospital: "How is the situation?"

"It's not clear yet!" Dean Huang replied after a preliminary examination: "There are too many wounds, and I'm not sure if there are fatal injuries!"

"Old Huang!" the leader said, "This comrade is a combat hero and has a great effect on our army. You must not let him have any trouble. You can use any medicine you need. If it really doesn't work, tell us that we will find a way to do it!"

"Yes, Chief!" Dean Huang replied: "We must do our best!"

In fact, there is no need for the chief to explain. The field hospital is also located in Lujiagou. Xiaobeidong is a team of Japanese special forces fighting the Japanese and developing things in the headquarters area. Or it is a tunnel that will be prepared, and people in Lujiagou know him.

Nothing else, I can't bear to give up the medicine even if I have made so much contribution to him.

So anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, Yan'an system and the drugs that the Japanese received were all used.

Dean Huang also personally performed the surgery on Wang Xuexin... He was the doctor wearing a "rusty" white coat, and it seemed that he had many surgeries on his daily basis.

This made Wang Xuexin feel embarrassed because his pain was much lighter than others, and many seriously injured people could not use painkillers for surgery!

However, Dean Huang insisted on using it. He said: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, this is the same as what you said when you were fighting, "Good steel is used on the blade". We also want to treat everyone equally, but the medicine is limited, so we can only choose more important treatments for the wounded. You are a fighting hero who has made special military achievements! This is what it should be, and you don't have any psychological burden. What's more, you may be able to seize more drugs for us in the future. I am reluctant to let the child goblins out of the way, do you know if you can't bear to trap the wolf?"

Wang Xuexin had no choice but to accept it.

When the leader came to see Wang Xuexin for the third time, he heard that his condition was stable and he took some time to take a look.

"Comrade Wang Xuexin!" The leader held Wang Xuexin's hand and said: "Facts have proved that your tactics are very effective. We blocked the Japanese attack on the front battlefield, defeated the enemy's conspiracy and attempts, and severely hit the enemy's arrogance! Although the enemy still gave up the blockade of us, they were obviously in a passive position!"

Hearing this, Wang Xuexin asked: "Chief, did the Japanese still not retreat?"

The leader nodded heavily: "The Japanese are not willing to let it go! They burned and killed and looted the guerrilla area north of Zhaojiayu, implemented the three-light policy to create an unmanned area within a range of more than ten kilometers, and began to build isolation fortifications between the two. According to the current situation of construction, we estimate that the enemy will build a cannon tower every 500 meters, and there may be a barbed wire mesh to lay mines or dig isolation trenches in the middle. They attempt to use these methods to isolate us and the guerrilla area."

The so-called isolation ditch is a deep ditch that is two deep and three meters wide and more than ten meters wide. Sometimes river water is introduced to make it a small river. It is difficult for chariots, horses and people to pass through, but it is actually artificially creating traffic difficulties.

"Fortunately, there is your tunnel war!" Then the leader sighed: "Because there are tunnels in each village, most of the villagers hid in the tunnels, which greatly reduced the casualties of the people. However, the village destroyed them and they could not live, so they could only escape to other villages!"

The chief of staff added: "The results of Zhaojiayu also ensure that the Japanese cannot complete the blockade. The five-mile-wide defense line of the new regiment extends to the eastern mountainous area. It is difficult to distinguish its base from the Jinsui Army's dog teeth. The Japanese never dared to attack and it is difficult to attack, and it has become our only channel to the guerrilla area!"

So Wang Xuexin could make sure that this situation was much better than the blockade of the Eighth Route Army in history.

This is indeed the case.

Because a 500-meter-meter artillery tower in the plains is far from enough to achieve a blockade.

It may be possible during the day.

The range of the Japanese rifle is about 500 meters, and the range of the crooked machine gun is 600 meters.

This means that two artillery towers 500 meters apart can cover each other and form cross-fire against enemies attacking from the front.

In addition, there are isolation ditches, barbed wire and landmines in front, and there are barracks behind them. Cars can be used to provide motorized reinforcements at any time, so it is still difficult to cut down the artillery tower.

But at night...

The artillery tower was isolated and helpless like a small island.

It is difficult for the Japanese in the artillery tower to stare at the one-kilometer-long defense line outside in the darkness.

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army could carefully flow through the isolation ditch, discharge a passage from the minefield, and then cut the barbed wire and touch it quietly to the artillery tower and then suddenly launch an attack.

The leader also considered this, and he even held several meetings to discuss this issue.

As a commander, he must think about everything first, otherwise it will be too late to wait until the problem is in front of him.

The focus of the discussion is how to break the Japanese blockade.

"Although we have mountainous areas in Zhaojiayu that can keep in touch with the guerrilla areas!" The leader pointed to the map and said, "But we cannot build our hopes on others. What if the Jinsui Army and even the National Army take advantage of the situation and impose a blockade on our army?"

The cadres nodded repeatedly to agree. Judging from the current situation, this is indeed very likely.

As the saying goes, "You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must be careful of others." Although it is a period of cooperation, the fear of the Jinsui Army and the National Army for the Eighth Route Army is well known to everyone.

"For the Japanese artillery tower Feng Huan." The leader said: "It is indeed no problem to attack strongly in the dark, but once the Japanese are discovered, it will cause a large number of casualties and even failures. And this is also passive. We must consider the method of being able to cut the artillery tower during the day, so that we can attack at any time when needed!"
