War is not only about fighting courage, but also about fighting wits. Whoever thinks more carefully, whoever thinks more thoughtfully, whoever understands the opponent's psychology, and who is the final winner.

The first attack aroused the anger of the enemy and brought them fear. The Japanese consultant who sniped Wang Qi and let go of the team was afraid that the Imperial Army, who was afraid of death, would not chase after him without the supervision of the Japanese. After leading the Imperial Army in the valley for more than half a day, Meng Youtian and his men took advantage of the familiar terrain and terrain to get rid of the enemy and lurked on the enemy's way back.

The sunset is so big, so red, so round, and the brilliant and beautiful shadows are cast on the water wrinkled by the evening breeze, sprinkling a large area of ​​shining, bright rose-red fine scales.

The exhausted Imperial Army was unwilling to enjoy the beautiful scenery and dragged its heavy steps on the way home. The Japanese consultant was so tired that he stopped shouting and riding on the livestock with a gloomy face. Without a good guide, he was really a great weakness. He wandered around the valley like a cow led by the nose.

"Taijun." An officer of the Imperial Army came over, and the sweat and dust on his face were mixed with mud marks. "Let's go here. Although it's a long way, it's easy to walk! If you walk there, that steep slope will be difficult."

The Japanese consultant frowned and thought for a while, nodded in agreement. In order to catch up with the enemy, he had to climb the steep slope. The scene at that time still made him feel scared.

The enemy turned down from the fork in the ridge, and the grass moved in the distance. Two militiamen who were monitoring the enemy got up and ran quickly to report the news.

"Let's go to the steep slope and beat him up again." Meng Youtian got the enemy's information and immediately issued an order to the resting militia.

"Going there?" Santui was a little confused. According to his thoughts, how could he stare at the same place to attack the enemy? Why did he have to change the place?

"I will explain to you in the future, and I will set off now." Meng Youtian didn't say much, and he had to hurry up. Although they were fucking the shortcut, they still had to arrange it when they went!

First, Meng Youtian was the temporary deputy captain, and second, the people he brought out were almost all from Tumen Village and Shili Village. They were very convinced by him. After ordering, the group immediately took action and headed straight to the steep slope in the afterglow of the sunset.

Repeated ambushing in the same place was not a creation by Meng Youtian, but a real war example in history. Of course, the more than 20 people led by Meng Youtian could not make such a big noise, but it did play an unexpected role. Moreover, it was really a pity for the transport brigade of the Imperial Army without seizing it.

The sun sets, and the hazy twilight gradually stretches out, covering the earth, and the woods in the distance are dark and quiet.

"Si Buzi, you are ambushing the grass with a group of people. After seeing the signal from me, you will ring the mines, throw a row of grenades, and then rush up..." Meng Youtian finished explaining. He hung the box gun on Si Buzi's neck and instructed: "To be steady, you must wait until I send a signal."

"I understand, I understand." The four bald man nodded repeatedly and carried the short gun.

"You, Liubao. Take three people to sway at the intersection there, and deliberately let the enemy see it, dig the road a few times and bury one or two landmines." Meng Youtian turned around and arranged a few others, "If the enemy's eyes are not good, you can light it up, or shoot a few shots to remind you. When the enemy chases you, you can run away quickly. You are familiar with the way, can you run past the enemy, right?"

"No problem." Liubao nodded confidently and said, "The ditches and forests here are so trunks and trees. I'm walking with my eyes closed. Now it's dark, and I want to catch up with us. I have to have two night owl eyes and two legs."

"Okay, everyone, hurry up and act!" Meng Youtian patted Liu Bao's shoulder with encouragement.

There were only five or six people left on the steep slope. Meng Youtian found a sniper position for Xiao Man, a relatively safe place. He also lined up the remaining militia with strong arm strength, and lifted the grenades and placed them all. Finally, he lurked in the sniper position and waited patiently.

The sky quickly darkened, and the surroundings were covered with deep silence, and the scenery gradually submerged in the fine darkness. A little light appeared in the distance, getting closer and closer, and a little light turned into two points, three points... the enemy came.

Meng Youtian expected it well. It turned out that the Imperial Army, which had a relatively neat array, became loose and exhausted after most of the day of tossing. The physical gap finally emerged. The team grew older and the weaker ones gradually fell behind.

Don’t stop returning to the army, there are such words in the military books. But nothing is absolutely true. According to the script, Zhao Kuo can only talk about war on paper, and will not become a famous general who uses troops like a god. It is precisely because the enemy has approached Kangjiazhai that his vigilance will be reduced, and it is easier to make the decision to run back to his nest after being hit. Moreover, the enemy is exhausted, and it is a good time to attack them.

"Taijun, Taijun." An officer of the Imperial Army pointed at the distance and shouted nervously to the Japanese consultant: "There is light, there is light."

"Baga! Why are you panic?" The Japanese consultant scolded him, raised his telescope, and several figures appeared in his vision. He was busy at the intersection in the distance, and his movements seemed to be burying a landmine.

Wolf, Wolf, shot two shots from afar, confirming the speculation of the Japanese consultant, "The work of the Eighth Route Army!" The Japanese consultant gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and shouted, "Roar up and catch them."

The enemy's attention was successfully attracted. The Imperial Army, who was walking in front, shouted in a mess, fired guns, and chased the shadows in the distance.

Meng Youtian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With such chaos, the lurking militia of the Situko were not discovered by the enemy. This risky trick was considered successful. Moreover, the enemy's team was longer, which was more conducive to his tail-cutting tactic. He continued to wait patiently and aimed at the Japanese consultant. The muzzle was moving as the target moved, and the sight of the target was stuck on the back of the target that had already crossed the steep slope.

"Bang hook!" As the gunshots were heard, Meng Youtian gently pulled the board machine, and the bullet penetrated the Japanese back from top to bottom, and accidentally injured the horse.

A loud scream was heard. The horse suddenly raised its front legs, then ran forward, dragging the Japanese who had been hit and killed, causing chaos in the Imperial Army.

"Send a signal!" Meng Youtian shouted briefly and quickly. The militia beside him lit the signal tube, and fireworks rose from the top of the slope, blooming with the splendor of death.

"Boom, boom..." Continuous mines sounded in the ditch, and fire flashed. Screams continued; "Boom, boom, boom..." Grenades were dropped from the top of the slope. On the ground, exploded in the air, shrapnel flying, under the dazzling light, the Imperial Army was falling, running around, screaming, screaming.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Situzi and his men rushed to throw a round of grenades. The flames burst out. Before the smoke of guns had dissipated, they had already rushed up without a sound, but the guns in their hands spitting bullets from time to time.

"Bang!" Xiao Man pulled the board machine, and a Royal Army officer shook his body. He kept holding the **** and fell straight to the ground like a piece of wood.

"Bang!" As soon as an imperial army was panicked, a bullet penetrated into his body with the scream of death.

Amid the explosion and gunfire, the Imperial Army fell into chaos. The Japanese consultant was dead, the officers were being named, and the old-fashioned team was cut into two sections. It lost unified command. It was an attack and an encirclement. The Imperial Army fired guns randomly, and the chaotic and dense gunfire made them feel even more panic and illusion. It seemed that they were surrounded by a large number of enemies, and they were fighting everywhere in front and behind, and under the slope.

What we need is this effect. The enemies under the slope were dizzy by grenades, and the enemies who had passed were constantly falling down under the accurate sniper on the top of the slope. In the chaos, they could only fight on their own and hide first. It is important to save their lives. Who can still care about reinforcement of their companions who fell behind?

More than 20 Imperial Army troops walking behind the team were in trouble. They were weak and exhausted. They were blown up by landmines and grenades. Most of them were killed and killed and fled in their arms. As soon as the smoke of gunfire became thin, more than a dozen men rushed up with their eyes staring. There was nothing more than "subjugating the gun and not killing them, surrendering to avoid death", just a burst of gunfire, and then a bayonet covered with soil.

The Si Bazi had a box cannon in one hand and a bayonet in the other hand. He shot very accurately at such a close distance. He shot one on the left and the right, his eyes widened, and his mouth kept cursing, "Dog traitor, let you chase me! Let you chase me!"

An injured Imperial Army on the ground was screaming in pain. The four bald men ran over and kicked the guy hard in the face, stabbing the bayonet in his hand. When they looked up, they saw that the two Imperial Army were in a panic and were running away in the wild.

"Damn it, I'll tell you to run away." Situzi stood up and raised his hand and shot a few times. Seeing one of the Imperial Army falling down, the other Imperial Army staggered and got up and continued to escape. He was still waiting to shoot, but **** made an air sound and the bullets were all shot.

"Brother, brother, let's stop chasing." A militia grabbed the Sibazi who was about to chase after him and shouted: "If you pick up something, run away. Captain Meng has given me a explanation, let's move quickly!"

The fourth bald man rolled his eyes, stomped his feet hatefully, and cursed: "You are a cheap dog traitor, hurry up, pack up and withdraw quickly, look at me, hurry up!"

The snipers on the top of the slope continued, and the Imperial Army also adjusted slightly. Although they did not dare to act rashly, there were still more bullets fired here.

Meng Youtian issued an order, and the militia retreated slightly, stopped shooting, and temporarily became hidden.

Bullets flew over the top of his head in a row, and the branches and leaves fell down one after another. Meng Youtian listened to the sound of the battle between Situ Zi seemed to have ended, and there was almost no gunfire or explosion. But the signal of success had not been sent yet, so he had to continue waiting here.

Meng Youtian changed positions and stretched out his muzzle in a tent of grass, observing the enemy's movements. The enemy continued to shoot, and several guys seemed to show signs of being stupid and were slowly moving down the slope. It seemed that they had not yet known that they were powerful, Meng Youtian sneered and aimed at one of them.

"Bang!" The gunshot came not far away, and the target Meng Youtian was aiming fell down and stopped moving. The other Imperial Army immediately fell to the ground and did not dare to act rashly.

Meng Youtian smiled faintly. Xiao Man was getting more and more courageous, and her sniper skills improved rapidly in actual combat, and she could already tell the key points of the attack. Yes, their accurate shooting was to prevent the enemy from rescue each other and win time for Situ Zi and others.

A monkey through the sky flew into the sky with Mars, then burst out countless bright spots and disappeared quickly.

Meng Youtian let out a long breath and waved his hand suddenly, "Retreat."

……………………

The reversing crescent moon lifted the veil of clouds and shone in the sky. The cowardly light spread gently on the earth, spreading smoke.

When Meng Youtian and others returned to Guancun, it was already midnight. Although they had been busy for a day and midnight, everyone was very tired. Even the three minor wounded people could not hide their joy. Meng Youtian had already got off the mule and walked, carrying the captured guns and bullet belts on his back. These were not all the seized supplies. The militia participating in the war had already gotten the moon first. They had replaced the guns with bad guns, and those with insufficient bullets were replenished. The grenades were basically divided.

Meng Youtian doesn't care about this if everything is seized. It's always good to be with him, right? It's always good to make people feel that they are not losing money, right?

Guanzhuang is no longer as crowded as Meng Youtian first came. Xiaolouzhuang's lessons made the people valued and organized to move further away. As the village closest to the enemy, it became the garrison of guerrillas and militias.

Before Meng Youtian entered the village, he felt the atmosphere strange. Xiao Quan had been waiting outside the village for a long time. It seemed that he had not been asleep, with a heavy and sad expression on his face.

"What's wrong? Something happened?" Meng Youtian frowned and asked directly.

Xiaoquan nodded and sent someone to arrange for everyone to rest. He pulled Meng Youtian to walk towards the village office, and said in a low voice as he walked: "I lost the battle today. The guerrillas suffered a considerable loss."

"How could this happen?" Meng Youtian glanced at Xiao Quan suspiciously and asked, "Has he fought a tough battle with the enemy? No, you are not such a reckless person?"

"Oh, let's talk about it when you arrive at the village office!" Xiaoquan sighed and said, "Everyone is waiting for you, and the future struggle may be very difficult!"

Meng Youtian didn't say anything. He was guessing various possibilities in his heart, but he couldn't figure out how the guerrillas would suddenly suffer losses. Without regular troops, the guerrillas were undoubtedly the main force of anti-sweeping because of their combat experience. But now...

There were many people sitting on the kang in the south house of the village office. People squeaked hard and smoked hard. The house was covered with thick dust and dust. Qin Lianfang and Bai Junting were choked by the smoke and couldn't open their eyes, and she burst into tears. She had to sit on the long bench and lean against the window, and then she felt better.

"Aitian, you are back." District Party Secretary Gu Qingshan looked up and smiled reluctantly, and asked with concern: "How is today? There is no loss, right?"

Before Meng Youtian could speak, Qin Lianfang had already squeezed to the side, gave up a seat for Meng Youtian on the bench, and greeted: "Brother Meng, sit down and talk. I must be very tired after running outside for a day."

Well, Meng Youtian nodded thankfully, sat on the bench, pondered for a while, and said calmly: "Today, I fought two battles with Wang Shangrong's men. Three of them were injured, not very serious. I killed and injured more than 40 enemies, seized more than 20 guns, and some ammunition."

Everyone bets with surprise eyes on Meng Youtian, and they don’t really believe this fact.

Qin Lianfang's eyes flashed and looked at Meng Youtian with admiration, saying, "This is really good news."

"Yes, it's really inspiring." Gu Qingshan nodded in admiration and said, "Arita, you just came back and don't understand some things yet. Let Xiaoquan briefly talk about it, and then let us seriously discuss future countermeasures."

Xiao Quan squeezed a place on the kang, looked up at everyone, and said this bad thing again, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. After pausing for a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Simply put, today the guerrillas and the basic militia ambush the enemy in the mountains. At first, it was normal, and it was indeed developing according to our expectations. We used the smoke to attract enemies who were eager to hunt down the people, and they also got into their pockets. The battle went smoothly, and the enemy was suppressed in a narrow ditch. But-"

Meng Youtian felt a little sad. But there must be an accident later. I just don’t know what this accident is?

"The enemy is very cunning." Xiao Quan sighed and continued: "Turn the team very long, only some of the enemies who were drilling into the pockets, followed by dozens of Japanese and some of the Imperial Army. As soon as the battle started, the enemy behind stopped advancing, seized a mountain, and bombarded with mortars. The artillery fire was very fierce, and the guerrillas ambushed on one side suffered great losses. The enemy took the opportunity to launch an attack - we had to retreat. The guerrillas sacrificed twenty-one people in this battle, seriously injured fifteen people, and slightly injured twenty-nine people... We were all not well thought out and the plan was not detailed. We should bear this responsibility. Please organize the punishment of us."

Although everyone except Meng Youtian knew what happened, when I listened again, I was still in a heavy mood and the room was very quiet. It seemed that a cough was disrespectful to the martyrs and the wounded.

There were only more than 100 guerrillas, and nearly half of them were lost. Meng Youtian lowered his eyelids and his heart was full of questions. Logically speaking, even if the enemy had mortars, it was unlikely that such serious losses would be caused, right?

Gu Qingshan took the tobacco pot from his mouth, pounded and beat the kang, and said in a deep voice: "The guerrillas suffered a lot, but they also killed many enemies in the ambush. Now it is not the responsibility. When we accept punishment, we must learn from the lessons and discuss and study the future. The enemy is still entrenched in two villages and may continue to attack the hinterland of the base. The situation is very serious!"

Meng Youtian habitually took out his small pipe, and hesitated as soon as he put it in his mouth, and glanced at Qin Lianfang next to him.

Qin Lianfang had no expression on her face, but she expressed her opinions with practical actions. She stood up and used a small pickup lamp to attract the fire, and handed it to Meng Youtian.
