Chapter 444 Autumn Harvest and Winter 2

"After the 'September 18th' Incident, Japan accelerated its invasion of the Northeast region of my country, but the Chinese did not surrender. The anti-Japanese struggle in the northeast was surging. Different parties and groups all took up guns and fought a desperate battle with the Japanese invaders. For a period of time, the Japanese army occupying the Northeast were beaten everywhere and were extremely passive. In order to consolidate colonial rule, in order to eliminate the anti-Japanese forces in the Northeast, especially the anti-Japanese coalition that poses the greatest threat to them, the Japanese invaders summarized a set of effective methods through bloody lessons. Among them, the experience of Manchuria sweeping, which they were proud of was to adopt the method of division of troops and joint attacks." In order to answer Zhang Ergou's questions, Li Qinglin sat aside and talked happily.

"Split the troops and attack together? What kind of tactic is this?" Xiao Liuzi asked.

Before Li Qinglin could speak, Liu Changda took the initiative to answer: "The Japanese invaders swept the Anti-Japanese United Army in the Northeast region, because most of the Anti-Japanese United Army troops were locals and their terrain was familiar, so the enemy's results were not good. After many setbacks, they summarized the so-called "Manchurian mobilization experience", which is the so-called "dividing troops and joining attack". This tactic is not very complicated. If they need to sweep the A region, the Japanese army will maintain the stability of the occupied area around the A region, and then mobilize troops from Area B, Area C and even more areas to sweep the A region that needs to be swept. Although these forces are starting from different regions, the ultimate goals of each unit are consistent, so that the opponents in the predetermined area will be suddenly surrounded by accidents to achieve their combat goals."

"This is the bulls' advance and attack on multiple points. Several troops set out from different locations, and the final goals are consistent, but the targets being attacked are also active. They will never stay where they are beaten. Moreover, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and it is necessary to constantly adjust the route of each unit's march and change the direction of the troops' offensive. Coordination and cooperation are not easy in the middle." Han Jizhong thought for a while and said.

Liu Changda said: "The Japanese's communication and communication are far beyond us. Their small radio stations have been equipped to the squadron level, and even to some squadrons with special tasks. Therefore, their communication and communication work is far better than us, and the coordination of various troops is not a problem. On the other hand, because our radio communication can only be equipped at the detachment level, brigade, and squadron level communication and communication rely on communication soldiers to transmit. The Japanese's tactic of splitting and attacking forces grasps the weakness of our national army. Therefore, when the locals sweep, the command personnel at all levels of our army need to take the initiative. If they passively wait for orders from superiors before taking action, they will be passively beaten and even a catastrophe will be devastated."

After hearing Liu Changda introduce the division of troops and attack, Zhang Ergou said: "So, division of troops and attacks are very powerful?"

Li Qinglin said seriously: "Don't treat the devils as fools. They are smart. This kind of tactic has really reached our weakness. You can imagine that people attack from several directions, and the information between the troops is in communication and pace, but our contacts are not connected and the actions are backward, so that each unit fights on its own. Victory and defeat are decided at the beginning of the battle."

Everyone was a soldier who led the war, so they were of course very clear about the pros and cons of the enemy described by Li Qinglin. After Li Qinglin finished speaking, everyone started smoking again, and the mood in the conference room began to depress again.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be a little worried about the new tactics of the Japanese, Li Qinglin chuckled and said, "We have not been fighting the Japanese for a day or two. If the soldiers come to block the generals, and the water comes to cover the soil, we can always find a way to deal with them. Don't be bored, just use your brain and think of a way."

Han Jizhong suddenly spoke: "I think we can change our thinking and summarize the lessons from the defeated battle of the Northeast Volunteers, and maybe we can find a way to deal with it."

Liu Changda slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, the Japanese divided troops and attacked together several years ago in the Northeast. The most familiar thing about this tactic is the volunteer army in the Northeast."

However, he sighed and continued: "There are not many volunteers in the Northeast now, and the Japanese's division and joint attack seem to be really effective."

Li Qinglin smiled and said, "Chief of Staff, the Japanese have basically stabilized the situation in the Northeast, but the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces are still active, which means that someone has cracked the tactics of division and joint attack. Since September 18th, someone from the Military Commission should have conducted special research on Japan's strategic tactics. Send a message to the war zone to ask, and see if they can find some experiences and lessons from the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces."

Liu Changda nodded and agreed to Li Qinglin's arrangement.

Liang Xixian said: "No matter what tactics the Japanese adopt, they will definitely have a combat plan in advance and make preparations for action. We should strengthen our intelligence work and strive to obtain accurate intelligence in advance."

Li Qinglin nodded and said, "Director Liang's advice is very good. I will remind our personnel behind enemy lines to be vigilant and strive to obtain information in advance."

Then, Li Qinglin raised his voice and said, "The army is indefinitely instability, and the water is indefinitely in form. The enemy will definitely formulate combat plans and set combat goals before the war, but the enemy's communication methods are advanced than us. They can change the combat deployment at any time during the march. This is the advantage of their tactic of division and joint attack. If the enemy really comes over, we need to divide the troops and break through when we cannot communicate and contact, and we must not be surrounded by the enemy. I have a premonition that we may be in brigades or even squadrons at that time. At this time, we need to test our ability to control the troops and deal with them on the spot."

Liang Xixian suddenly said: "We now know that the enemy will change its tactics, and I believe the Eighth Route Army has also received news. According to normal circumstances, this is roughly what we can do here. I don't know what measures will be taken by the Eighth Route Army to deal with it."

Liang Xixian once personally participated in an ambush by the Eighth Route Army and had a deep understanding of the Eighth Route Army's flexible and maneuverable tactics. Even though he was criticized for the last time when the Eighth Route Army fired a train, Liang Xixian was still very impressed by the Eighth Route Army's tactics. What's more, he still has the responsibility to obtain various intelligences from the Eighth Route Army. Maybe he can also obtain some information from the Eighth Route Army.

However, Liang Xixian learned his lesson this time, and he did not want to be criticized again, so he took another method to raise the issue of the Eighth Route Army. This time he hoped that others would raise this "resolute battle" to jointly fight against the Japanese with the Eighth Route Army.

Han Jizhong said: "Because it is difficult to enter their base and the inspection is strict, we don't know much about the Eighth Route Army. However, our people found some people around the enemy's stronghold. Some of them were small vendors, some were elderly and children. Through long-term observation and internal personnel investigation, our personnel found that there were likely spies from the Eighth Route Army among these people, and they should be people monitoring the enemy's dynamics."

"Sending people deep into the enemy's backbone and monitoring them directly at the enemy's gate is a good way." Li Qinglin said.

Han Jizhong nodded and said, "It's true. These people are at the entrance of the enemy's stronghold or in the enemy's camp. As long as the enemy moves, they will immediately discover it."

Liang Xixian thought for a while and said, "Discovering the enemy dynamics is the first step, and it is more important to quickly and accurately transmit the information back. Their means of transmitting intelligence seem to be worse than ours, and I don't know how they did this."

Han Jizhong said: "As we learned from various channels, they used relay mode to deliver information. When the personnel at the gate of the base were dispatched on the day of dispatch, they immediately sent intelligence traffic officers to send intelligence to the next village, and then the traffic officers from the next village continued to deliver to the next village until they were sent to the Hu family shack."

Liang Xixian said: "It is completely transmitted through manual means and has to be ahead of the Japanese and puppet troops. This process is very complicated and difficult to achieve."

Han Jizhong nodded and said, "This method seems incredible to us, and it is very common in the Eighth Route Army. It is said that once, in order to convey emergency information, a militia sent the intelligence and vomited blood even after running away."

Liang Xixian sighed deeply and said, "The organization of the Eighth Route Army is tighter than ours, and their personnel are more dedicated than us. These people are all local residents and have legitimate professions. I don't know what ecstasy they have taken, but they are all so unafraid of death."

Li Qinglin smiled and said, "There are no people in this world who are not afraid of death, but they all have their own beliefs. Sometimes, the power of faith makes people not care about life and death."

Liang Xixian agreed and said, "Our Central Committee has been working in secret for so many years, and I have a deep understanding of the power of their beliefs."

Speaking of this, Liang Xixian sighed and said, "We really don't have such people who are not afraid of death."

The full name of the Central Commission for the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang is the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. Since its birth, it has taken it as its mission to investigate various domestic political forces. The CCP is naturally the biggest enemy in their eyes, so Liang Xixian was also inspired.

Han Jizhong said: "Their on-site surveillance method is indeed very effective, but it is a little behind in terms of time. The information we obtain from them is called intelligence, and we can predict the enemy's initiative."

Liu Changda thought for a while and said, "At present, everyone's common enemy is the Japanese devils. We have different intelligence work with the Eighth Route Army. In order to overcome this difficulty smoothly, it would be better if the two armies could communicate with each other in terms of intelligence."

Speaking of this, Liu Changda smiled and said to Liang Xixian: "Director Liang, you contacted each other last time and achieved great results. This time, I need to ask you to go there personally. Let's talk to friendly forces to see if you can cooperate again."

Listening to Liu Changda directly asking for his own success, Liang Xixian hurriedly said: "This is a military operation, the business of the Ninth Detachment. I want to obey the commander's arrangement."

In order not to cause trouble for himself, Liang Xixian learned his lesson. This time he did not dare to show off himself, but kicked the ball directly to Li Qinglin. However, Liang Xixian was indeed correct to say this. This was indeed the action of the Ninth Detachment. Li Qinglin is the highest commander of this unit. With Li Qinglin's order, Liang Xixian's actions became famous and would not be criticized by his superiors in the future.

Li Qinglin smiled and said, "Everyone thinks we need to contact the Eighth Route Army. I think it's right to contact us. That's it. Director Liang, tomorrow we will join the Eighth Route Army to see if we and them may cooperate again."...
