The ignorant is fearless, and the ignorant is at ease. This is not a kind of luck. There is no need to be afraid of all kinds of future worries, and there is no need to worry too much and worry about it. One day is a day.

Meng Youtian lacked the joy of living alone, but he didn't regret it much. Because he figured it out, Shagenbao was very happy and was happy when he was full, but no one envied or jealous. Responsibilities and obligations made him devote all his efforts and also made him see the results of his struggle. A child who was picking up fish on the beach was working tirelessly to make more people change their lives and destiny.

Don’t underestimate his energy. The mine warfare he promoted, tunnel warfare, from one village to another, and then to another county... has been continuously expanding its influence and gradually becoming a favorable weapon for the anti-Japanese armed forces to resist the invaders under disadvantaged equipment. Whether a butterfly flapping its wings can form a hurricane remains to be studied, but the promotion and use of tunnels and mines has truly changed the course of the Anti-Japanese War.

Is it unbelievable? Then we can calculate the calculations, take North China at that time as an example. Around 1941, the number of counties occupied by North China exceeded 500, while the Japanese army could effectively control no more than 100 counties, and 80% of the counties could only control county towns or key towns, or even complete counties were all under the hands of the anti-Japanese armed forces.

If a county only eliminates one Japanese army a day, the Japanese army's daily losses will exceed 500 people, which is equivalent to more than half of a full infantry brigade, one fifth of a mixed brigade, one twenty of a three-unit division, and one thirty or one forty of a four-unit division. Conversely, on average, one brigade can be wiped out in about two days. One brigade can be wiped out in five days, and one brigade can be wiped out in twenty to forty days.

If this algorithm is still too optimistic, then halving it will be possible to calculate it by halving it, a brigade in four days, a brigade in ten days, and a division in three months, which may cause the Japanese army to fall off their chins and roll around the ground!

The number of people gathers into many, and in the vast battlefield behind enemy lines, the continuous consumption is the power of guerrilla warfare. The invading army continues to bleed through countless harassment attacks. But like frogs in warm water, they will not jump up immediately. Although the battles in killing enemies are not all mines and authentic credit, they are playing an important role.

Meng Youtian could not access extensive and confidential information. Although he realized that the War of Resistance Against Japan was different from history, he did not realize that there were some of his contributions. Of course, he did not know that the area where he was able to win continuously during this period, which was closely related to the adjustment and deployment of the Japanese army in North China.

…………………

After the War of Resistance Against Japan entered a stalemate stage, the Japanese army not only felt that the task of consolidating the occupied areas was very arduous, but the unprecedented winter offensive launched by the National Government on both sides of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River at the end of 193, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army. It also made the Japanese army see the growth of the ** and the serious threat to the Japanese army invading China. In 1940, a series of political, military and economic cruel revenge on the front battlefield.

After Tojo Hideki controlled the situation in Japan and became the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, he believed that almost most of the Japanese army was deeply trapped in the Chinese battlefield and was no longer able to draw troops to invade the Soviet Union in the north. Moreover, the army could no longer do anything big, but the army cooperated with the powerful navy to show its skills in the Pacific. Therefore, the Japanese government's arrogant plan to advance south has been implemented and further accelerated the preparation steps.

To this end, the Japanese government adjusted China's combat guidelines and made a decision to "resolve the China Incident quickly", requiring "to change the scheduled plan before the fall of 1941, not to relax the oppression of China, and to prepare for the final active battle in the summer and autumn, and to strive to resolve the China Incident."

After analyzing the situation on the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese military believed that "Shanxi Province has the Communist Army with Yan'an as its base in the west and the military activities of the Central Army's First War Zone on both sides of the Yellow River on the south, and the public security situation is extremely bad. Henan and Shandong provinces are also unstable." In the entire Japanese-occupied area, "South of Shanxi is the only area with the remaining Chiang Kai-shek clan".

In view of this, Hideki Tojo and General Sugiyama reached a consensus on quickly resolving the issue of China, proposing that "don't simply consider the south, but establish a policy of focusing on China and the north." Based on this, the Japanese invaders proposed that "the combat in 1941 will be based on the current tasks to roughly ensure the current occupied areas, especially in summer and autumn, and must exert comprehensive combat power and put a lot of pressure on the enemy. They are particularly looking forward to the battle to eliminate the Central Army in southern Shanxi in North China (i.e., the Battle of Nakajoyama)."

As for the Japanese side, breaking through Zhongtiao Mountains occupied an important "bridgehead" for invasion of south and north. You can cross the river and go south, seek the Longhai, and seize the Central Plains; you can also go north to connect with its main occupied land in Shanxi, relieve the troubles of your heart, and improve the public security situation in the occupied areas of North China.

To this end, the Japanese Chinese Expeditionary Force planned to draw the 17th and 33rd divisions from central China in the spring and summer of 1941 to be assigned to the North China Front Army. In the meantime, the Kwantung Army mobilized the 32nd, 83rd teams and the main force of the Third Flight Group to be launched at the two airports of Yuncheng and Xinxiang to cooperate in the air. At the same time, the Japanese North China Expeditionary Force was required to make adaptive adjustments to the forces under its jurisdiction in advance.

The Japanese army attached great importance to the Nakajo Campaign, calling it the "Central Plains Battle". They also took out seven main troops of more than 100,000 divisions to fight the decisive battle. Their ambition was inevitable. The Japanese army not only showed the spirit of fighting a real tiger, but also began to prepare carefully. First, they carried out intensive training for the main troops in mountain wars, and second, they were cleaning the surrounding areas to prepare for assault.

One is rising and the other is deteriorating. The Japanese army in North China made corresponding adjustments and mobilized troops to prepare for the Zhongtiaoshan Battle, which naturally led to a decline in the security situation in its security areas. Tada Jun would rather give up some less important places and continue to strengthen the military pressure on the anti-Japanese armed forces in central Hebei and southern Hebei plains. In his opinion, holding the granary in North China in his hands can put the Eighth Route Army in Taihang Mountains to death, which is an unswerving strategy.

The big changes affected the microclimate, and the military adjustments of the Japanese army, especially the most intelligent guy Kono, was transferred to southern Hebei, to serve, which made the situation of the War of Resistance in the prefecture and region relaxed and favorable. The Japanese army lacked military strength, not only was it unable to launch a sweeping rush, but it could only focus on ensuring that the activities of the county towns and large and medium-sized towns, guerrillas were further active, and the safety of the base areas was further guaranteed.

Relaxation and peace may be temporary, and Meng Youtian still has a relatively clear understanding of this. Even without the cruel revenge of the Japanese army after the Hundred Regiments War, the competition in the Hebei-central and southern Hebei plains is also crucial. Food is not only regarded by the people as the sky, but also the key to maintaining combat effectiveness for a large number of full-time anti-Japanese troops and fighting bravely with the invaders.

There is less arable land in mountainous areas, and it has always been poorer than in plain areas. If central Hebei and southern Hebei are lost, material exchanges between the mountainous areas and the plain areas will be cut off. The troops in the plain areas retreat to the mountainous areas, and eating will become an even more difficult problem. Isn’t “driven the Eighth Route Army into the mountains to chew stones” the result that the Japanese hoped for?

Although mines and tunnels have been promoted in advance and a situation of heavy mines in Hebei-zhongji and Jiaodong has been formed, it is only a relatively effective means and cannot control the outcome. Under the heavy Japanese army's encirclement and suppression, it is conceivable what kind of hard battles the Eighth Route Army that is operating in the plains is expected. Even if the plains base is completely lost, Meng Youtian would not even feel that it was too unexpected.

The gap in overall strength determines such a result. If the Japanese army wants to achieve their goals at any cost, the Eighth Route Army cannot stop them, and they can only make the Japanese army suffer more casualties in the process of achieving their goals.

…………………

The work of defending the autumn harvest was over, and the guerrillas' gun collection mission was completed with the support of the main force, but these were not something Meng Youtian was particularly concerned about. During the period when he returned to Tumen Village, he began to focus on filling in the gaps and preventing leaks, and achieved certain results.

"The Nanshankou has almost been done. There is a steep cliff on one side and a deep ravine on the other side. I threw a stone down and couldn't hear a sound for a long time." Meng Youtian leaned halfway and half lying on the quilt and said slowly: "There are a few people guarding you, and the Japanese will never come to you."

"Can the Japanese fight?" Liu Feng's belly was already bulging and tall. She was unwilling to go out again. She wanted to wrap it tightly with a belt, but was stopped by Meng Youtian. She asked in confusion and turned to something she cared about, "You just let me shake my belly with such a big belly in front of others. I can hide it from having a baby. I have already cleaned up. I will enter the mountain in two days, so I dare not throw this ugly."

At that time, it was indeed a scandal for having children without marriage. Meng Youtian knew it was not easy to give birth to a child in the village, so he had already made arrangements.

"When I came back, I said I wanted to get married, but you didn't do it, and now I'm anxious." Meng Youtian said with a wry smile.

"What's that? Can you raise your head in the future when you marry into your family with your belly?" Liu Feng sneered and said, "When I have a boy to your Meng family, what kind of attitude can your mother have? Then you have to invite me to pass."

"What if I gave birth to a girl?" Meng Youtian looked at Liu Feng helplessly.

"No nonsense." Liu Feng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Then let's have a new life. When will your mother hold her grandson? When will she ask me to pass through, I will marry you."

"Why is this?" Meng Youtian sighed softly, paused for a moment, and said, "I have arranged everything according to your wishes. Let's go to the mountains to have babies and let Sun Dana follow you. This is safe."

"Will you follow me to the mountains?" Liu Feng looked at Meng Youtian in surprise.

"I'm going to Laoying, which is closer to the village." Meng Youtian smiled slightly, touched Liu Feng's face gently, and said, "I'll send you to the place, try to accompany you as much as possible, and take time to go back to the village to take a look. But when you gave birth, I must be by my side."

Liu Feng gave Meng Youtian a blank look in anger and joy, gently stroked her stomach, and a smile appeared on her face.
