Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

"Agree."

"Agree."

The names are different and the status is also different.

Everyone understands this.

The Zhangjiagou Village Guerrilla Unit and the Shengxian County Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army are completely different names. The Zhangjiagou Village Guerrilla Unit is now strong and powerful, so of course it needs a resounding name. The Shengxian County Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army is the best.

"Then this one's passed."

Wei Hongjun made the final decision.

Then he continued, "Then the second topic is the leadership and organization of the Sheng County Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army. Comrade Wang Qiuyun serves as the commander of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army, Comrade Wei Hongjun serves as the political commissar of the Guerrilla Army, Comrade Li Shiping serves as the deputy commander of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army, and Comrade Zhang Dahu serves as the chief of staff of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army."

"The Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army currently has 218 members, including the First Squad, the Second Squad, the Special Forces Squad, the Logistics Squad, the New Recruit Squad, as well as the Guard Squad and the Firepower Squad."

"Gao Wei."

"arrive."

"You will be the captain of the first team."

"Yes."

"Tao Laifeng."

"arrive."

"You will be the captain of the second team."

"Yes."

"Conde."

"arrive."

"You are the captain of the special forces team."

"Yes."

"Zhang Shan."

"arrive."

"Zhang Shan serves as the deputy captain of the special forces team."

"Yes."

Team One, Team Two and the Special Forces Team are the main forces of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army.

Therefore, the captains of these three teams were chosen from three experienced junior officers. Gao Wei, Tao Laifeng, and Kong De were all veterans who had served as company-level officers during the Red Army era. After the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, their positions became platoon-level officers.

Now they are in charge of the anti-Japanese guerrilla squad, which is actually a platoon-level unit.

Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun were planning to build a special forces unit, especially the special forces unit. They would gather the sharpshooters from those units, including the sharpshooters from the hunters, to create a unit with the strongest combat effectiveness.

So among the three, the most stable Conde was chosen as the captain.

As for Zhang Shan, he was well-known among the young people of Zhangjiagou Village, and many of them followed his lead. Therefore, he was appointed as the deputy captain of the special forces team, one to appease the young people of Zhangjiagou Village, and the other to train Zhang Shan.

"Wang Quan."

"arrive."

"You will be the captain of the recruit team and be responsible for training the new recruits."

"Yes."

"Zhang Zhongyong."

"arrive."

"You will serve as the deputy captain of the recruit team."

"Yes."

Although the Zhangjiagou Village guerrillas were also new recruits, they had at least trained for a while and had participated in a battle. Some others, though newly enlisted, were often hunters. With minimal training, they were all capable of fighting on the battlefield.

In comparison, new recruits who are neither hunters nor have received military training need special and thorough training.

That's why Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun set up a new recruit team.

"Logistics team, I'm also the captain. Zheng Qilang."

"arrive."

"Zheng Qilang serves as the deputy captain of the logistics team."

"Yes."

"Guard Team, Chief of Staff Zhang is also the captain. Zeng Guosheng."

"arrive."

"You will serve as deputy captain of the guard."

"Yes."

"Li Yong."

"arrive."

"Li Yong serves as the captain of the firepower team."

"Yes."

Although it is a firepower team, it actually only has three light machine guns.

However, even if there were only three light machine guns, for the current Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army, this was the best firepower. After Wei Hongjun announced the organization and leadership of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army, he looked at Wang Qiuyun.

Wang Qiuyun continued, "After each team returns, please submit the names of squad leaders and deputy squad leaders as soon as possible. The troops must be reorganized and combat-ready as quickly as possible. We will be fighting soon."

"Yes."

"Now we have to discuss the last topic, the next step of the war."

Chapter 013 Anti-Japanese Retaliation

"We didn't hide the fact that we ambushed the Japanese. After these days, the Japanese must have gotten the news. They won't let us go and will definitely send troops to retaliate against us. The Japanese have a reinforced squadron in Sheng County. Our last ambush only wiped out a small Japanese unit. This means that the Japanese will retaliate against us with no fewer than a hundred people, possibly closer to two hundred. And they have heavy weapons such as grenade launchers and heavy machine guns.

We are no match for them in a head-on confrontation."

Wang Qiuyun began to discuss the upcoming battle.

Wang Qiuyun was not like the new recruits of the Zhangjiagou Village guerrillas. After an ambush, they all thought they were really powerful and that the Japanese were nothing. The 115th Division concentrated its main forces to attack Pingxingguan, and the battle was extremely difficult.

Wang Qiuyun did not think that the newly established Shengxian Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army could fight against a Japanese squadron.

"Everyone, let's talk about it. Let's see how to deal with the Japanese retaliation."

Wei Hongjun asked everyone to speak.

Before a battle, everyone discussed how to fight. This was a fine tradition of the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army. Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang, and everyone expressed their ideas. Ultimately, the military commander made the final decision.

"Instructor, can I talk about this?"

Zhang Shan raised his hand reluctantly.

Wei Hongjun smiled and said, "Comrade Commander, do you think he can speak?"

Wang Qiuyun laughed out loud.

He said, "We Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers are equal, and everyone can speak freely in meetings. Comrade Zhang Shan, tell me what you think?"

"Then I'll tell you. Last time we followed our instructor to ambush the Japanese devils, and I think it was a great move. Our Sheng County is mountainous, and there are ambushes everywhere. This time, we'll do the same as last time, finding a good spot to ambush the Japanese. Last time we only had about 60 guns, this time we have over 200. As long as we fire the first shot well, we can kill half of the Japanese in one go."

Wang Qiuyun nodded repeatedly.

I am very satisfied with Zhang Shan's idea.

Although many aspects of his thinking were somewhat taken for granted, Zhang Shan was, after all, a new recruit who had only participated in one battle. The fact that he had such an idea was enough to satisfy Wang Qiuyun. However, Wang Qiuyun still pointed out the problems in Zhang Shan's thinking.

"Ambushes of different sizes are different. Just like our last ambush, we only ambushed a Japanese squad, which only had thirteen people in total. In this kind of ambush, as long as we find the key point and attack their small squad fiercely, we can resolve the battle. But once the Japanese army dispatches a squadron of more than one hundred people equipped with grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and the like, plus the traitor troops, their team may have two or three hundred people. And they were ambushed by us once, so they will send out reconnaissance troops ahead, which will also increase the difficulty of the ambush. More importantly, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is very strong. With the Japanese army's reaction speed, after we ambush them, their grenade launchers and heavy machine guns will definitely open fire within one or two minutes. Unless we destroy their grenade launchers and heavy machine guns in the first round, it will be impossible to stop their grenade launchers and heavy machine guns from counterattacking."

The Eighth Route Army crossed the Yellow River to fight against the Japanese and collected a lot of intelligence about the Japanese army.

Together with the Pingxingguan Campaign, Wang Qiuyun had a very direct understanding of the Japanese army's combat effectiveness. I'd like to take this opportunity to share it with you.

"Comrade Zhang Shan, you've never seen the Japanese army's grenade launchers. When they coordinate several of their grenade launchers, they can hit anything they point at within 500 meters. The Japanese officers and soldiers are elite soldiers who have been trained for many years and are extremely powerful. It can even be said that in a head-on battle, our Shengxian Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army combined would not be able to defeat a squad of 50 or so of theirs. Especially since they also have heavy machine guns, the power of which is simply incomparable to that of light machine guns. If their heavy machine guns and grenade launchers open fire, we won't be able to raise our heads. Chief of Staff Zhang, is that true?"

"Correct."

Zhang Dahu's expression was very solemn.

Zhang Dahu recalled the Rehe War, the Great Wall War, and the July 7 Incident, and how his troops were defeated. He just couldn't understand why Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun seemed to know the Japanese army's combat effectiveness, but they were calm and confident.

However, even though he didn't understand, Zhang Dahu still fulfilled his duties as chief of staff.

"The Japanese army's grenade launchers are just as the commander said. When I followed Commander Shang Zhen to fight the Japanese army in Rehe and the Great Wall, the heavy machine guns in our positions would go silent in a short period of time. It was because the Japanese army's grenade launchers knocked out our heavy machine gun positions. The commander just said it well. If we ambush the Japanese squadron and fail to knock out their grenade launchers and heavy machine guns in the first place, then we will not be able to withstand the subsequent Japanese counterattack. The power of grenade launchers and heavy machine guns is beyond everyone's imagination. With our strength, once we are bitten by the Japanese army's grenade launchers and heavy machine guns, we will not be able to hold our positions at all."

"Then I was wrong."

Zhang Shan scratched his head.

Zhang Shan didn't even know what a grenade launcher was. He'd heard of heavy machine guns, but he had no idea how powerful they were. He felt embarrassed after hearing what Wang Qiuyun and Zhang Dahu were saying.

Wei Hongjun smiled and said, "You have a good idea, but you lack experience in fighting the Japanese. You will all be commanders leading troops in battle in the future. You should think more like Comrade Zhang Shan and think about how to destroy the enemy. Does anyone else have any suggestions?"

"Commander, instructor, I think we should play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. We should play to our strengths and use the tactics we are most familiar with."

Conde spoke.

Kong De is a steady person, so Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun both respect him very much.

"Tell me more specifically."

"In the past, when the Red Army fought, we lured the enemy deep into our territory and used guerrilla warfare to deal with them. This time, we can do the same against the Japanese. Zhangjiagou Village is in a great location, surrounded by mountains on three sides and with only one road. Furthermore, this road is also flanked by dense forests and mountains, making it perfect for luring the enemy deep into our territory and for guerrilla warfare. We mobilized the villagers of Zhangjiagou Village to hide in the mountains, and then used this road and these mountains to deal with the Japanese army."

A smile appeared on Wang Qiuyun's face.

Because what Kong De said was the same as what Wang Qiuyun thought.

A squadron of Japanese soldiers, nearly 200 men. Although they were no match for the enemy in a head-on confrontation, Wang Qiuyun did not think that this battle was unwinnable. This was because since the Red Army period, our party's army had always defeated the strong with the weak.

"Luring the enemy deep into our territory, using guerrilla tactics? Commander, what does this mean?"

Zhang Shan is very studious.
