Chapter 23: Runaway work

Just as Tao Ping reported his thoughts to Commander ZF, he sent an order from the Eighth Route Army headquarters, requiring Tao Ping's 911th Regiment and Guangdong and Guangxi Column to quickly clean the battlefield and quickly transfer.

The reason is very simple. The Kuomintang army that fought against the Japanese army in Taihu Lake was defeated by the Japanese army and was defeated. The Japanese 6th Division would counterattack at any time. What's worse is that the road ahead entering the Dabie Mountains was blocked by two puppet troops.

So, Tao Ping and Commander ZF discussed and split the troops and ran away!

Of course, even if we run away, we, a classmate Tao Ping, have to run away differently from others.

In dealing with prisoners of war, Commander ZF put forward the opinion that all the puppet army prisoners were released and only escorted the Japanese prisoners on the road, but Tao Ping put forward the opposite opinion that the puppet army prisoners must not be let go, and they must not be let go so much as to be let go. If these bastards were released silently, many of these bastards would probably go to work in the puppet army again. The best way was to lead them along.

Finally, the consensus was that Tao Ping escorted more than 1,000 puppet troops and marched towards Sichuan, and Commander ZF's Guangdong and Guangxi Column escorted (actually to carry) those Japanese prisoners of war returned to their hometown in Guangdong and Guangxi.

In fact, Tao Ping chose to call the prisoners of war for the puppet army because he had his own little plan. When the time comes, "capture it immediately". Who cares whether you are willing to join the Eighth Route Army? As long as I catch your braid, you will be my soldier. Moreover, these puppet soldiers have received some military training, which is many times stronger than those farmers who came to join the army just after they put down their hoes. When they heard the gunshot, they even stubbornly turned their butts.

In order to prevent the puppet army prisoners from causing trouble, Tao Ping thought of a good idea, which was to let the puppet army prisoners play Minzhuang, carry ammunition and military rations, and ensure that they have ammunition and no guns. First, they declare that they will be executed on the spot if they are disobedient. At least they no longer have to worry about transporting ammunition and military rations.

Before leaving, Tao Ping ordered the engineer company to blow up all the fortifications in Tong County. In this way, the enemy not only made it possible to get rid of the city when they arrived in Tong County, but also all the people in Tong County had moved to the mountains. There was no well or a grain of rice in the entire Tong County town.

In this way, Tao Pingshuai led the 911th Regiment towards Sichuan. In addition to killing two escaped on the third day, Tao Ping told the prisoners to eat and drink well. The puppet army prisoners along the way were quite honest and had no trouble.

At this time, Chongqing, both the Communist Party’s Xinhua Daily and the Kuomintang’s Central Daily, used a lot of space to report in-depth reports on the defense of Tong County. In this way, Tao Ping’s 911 Regiment had to attract the attention of the whole country, so that a member of the American military advisory group of Jiang asked He Yq about the 911 Regiment. Look at whether our student Tao was making a big deal.

Because Tao Ping's strange fighting style made the enemy-wealth casualty ratio reach 4:1, which means that four enemy-in-war deaths were killed, and only one of us was killed. But I wonder if you know the enemy-in-wealth casualty ratio in the Songhu Battle led by the Kuomintang at that time - 1:26, which means that one enemy-in-war deaths were, we had to pay twenty-six times the price, that is, twenty-six people.

At this time, our protagonist is busy with his plan to run away, which in his words is "running away work".

Just the fifth day after Tao Ping's 911th Regiment left Tongxian, the Panasonic Regiment of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, together with the puppet army, arrived at Tongxian County, with a total of more than 6,000 people. But it was too late. Tao Ping's 911th Regiment had already gone away and they could not even find a figure.

Looking at the messy battlefield, Panasonic Sihe, the captain of the Panasonic regiment of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, was very angry, but he had no choice but to do anything, because the information showed that Tao Ping's 911th Regiment was thousands of miles away and began to prepare to enter Sichuan, and he could not catch up.

Moreover, even if he pursued his troops, he was not enough, because he could not find a grain of rice or a well in Tongxian County. The reason was very simple. Tao Ping implemented a thorough policy of strengthening the world. Not to mention humans, he could not even find a dog.

Since Tao Ping's 911th Regiment seized a total of 35 military trucks and more than 100 mule and horse carriages from the Japanese army. Except for the 50 mule and horse carriages from the Guangdong-Guangzhou Column, all the others were used by the 911th Regiment. There was no way, the Guangdong-Guangzhou Column had too few cultural soldiers, and there were only a few literate people. The others were basically all agricultural experts who had just put down their hoes, not to mention that they could drive cars, which would make them more than a lot of carriages. Unlike Tao Ping's 911th Regiment, they were basically veterans of the Kuomintang for the rest of their lives and received regular training.

So all the wounded were in a car, and the bulky supplies such as artillery, ammunition, etc. were transported on cars or carriages. The materials such as military rations and bullets were all carried by the puppet troops. In this way, the marching speed was very fast, and the average speed could travel 170 miles a day.

On the fifteenth day, Tao Ping's troops entered the Tuba Mountain City, which was resting in the Tuba Mountain City, Sichuan. Tuba Mountain City is a small city in Sichuan, and is named after Tuba Mountain.

The whole scene of entering the city was very spectacular. The people who passed by the road were welcomed by the people on the sidelines, which made the veterans of the Kuomintang who had been used to defeating the Kuomintang army regain their long-lost dignity, and made Tao Ping, who had just arrived in this time and space for only a few months, feel particularly happy. Finally, under the arrangement of Zhou Huaiyou, the county magistrate of the Kuomintang Tubashan County, Tao Ping's 911th Regiment was stationed in Wangjiatang in the west of the city.

Before entering the city, Tao Ping was a little worried about whether the military discipline issues of his subordinates would cause trouble after entering the city? Will they do something extraordinary like bullying men and dominating women? Tao Ping was really not sure.

So Tao Ping found political commissar Zhang Hailong to discuss countermeasures, and finally decided to train outside the city for a long time, set up a military discipline inspection team, which was specifically responsible for dealing with military discipline issues after entering the city, and also stated discipline, and those who violated the crimes will be killed without mercy.

Shortly after Tao Ping entered the mountain city, the people in the mountain city discovered that the biggest difference between these Eighth Route Army and the previous national army was that they were all very kind, unlike the previous national army and militia, who was full of bandits and did not pay for buying things. If you say something to him, you will be able to come back and beat you half to death. You have no choice but to have a gun in your hand!

But the Eighth Road is different. Not only do you pay for things to buy, but you also clean the streets of Tubashan on time every day. Not only that, you can even dig up the sewers that have not been cleaned for n years.

Moreover, these Eighth Route Army members would occasionally organize the elderly to carry water, deliver food, and repair houses, which opened the eyes of the people in the mountain city. There are such soldiers in the world.

Some careful mountain city people even found that the local militia that was once so powerful now is no longer as powerful as before, and every one of them has changed from regular distances to regular tasks, and no longer has the same bandit spirit as before.

So all kinds of gossip about these Eighth Route Army began to fly all over the sky, becoming the topic of conversation for the people in the mountain city after dinner.

"Have you heard that the leader of the Eighth Route Army is a young young man who is only nineteen years old. He is quite handsome and has no wife yet!" said passerby.

"Who said that his wife is so vague. She is taller than your dog, and her little face looks the same as the fairy in the painting. I heard from Bao Sangu next door that the leader of the group was ordered by Chairman Jiang himself, and he would have to award the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal," said passerby B.

"Really, fake?" said passerby.

"There is still a fake. Bao Sangu's brother-in-law is working on the service of County Mayor Zhou. What she said is absolutely right. I heard that the Eighth Route Army leader was reincarnated by Zhao Zilong. He killed people faster than us cutting melons! Knock, just a knife!" said passerby.

"Zhao Zilong used a knife to kill people, but he used a gun! Bullshit, whoever uses a big blade to kill people now uses a pistol. With a bang, the person will die. This is your brother who is bragging!" said passerby.

"Isn't it? This small leader of the Eighth Route Army killed more than 200 Japanese people in Shanghai at one time, and one of them was the lieutenant general. The Japanese are now using 100,000 yuan to buy his brain and borrow money!" said passerby.

"My mother, is this still a human being?" said passerby.

Just as the aunts and aunts in the mountain city were talking about the Eighth Route Commander, our classmate Tao was beginning his military reorganization, because Tao Ping, who came from later generations, knew that the reason why the Tong County defense battle was able to create such a situation was 80%.

First, the enemy underestimated the enemy, and in terms of military sources, they were veterans of the Kuomintang army for the rest of their lives, so they asked themselves to pick up a ready-made one. Secondly, they also tested a ready-made one on weapons and ammunition, which was no less than the opponent. The only thing that was remarkable was that they were a little smarter than the opponent in tactical use.

Therefore, the first thing after arriving at the mountain city was to "take prisoner and replenish more than a thousand puppet military headquarters" to replenish more than a thousand puppet military headquarters. Only with quantity can we have quality. For this era when guns are kings, the source of troops is really important; the second is to train troops. Didn't the People's Liberation Army in later generations say "sweat more in peacetime and less in wartime!"? Then just practice like this, regardless of the new recruits and veterans, practice to the death.

Especially in training assassination, shooting, and tactical cooperation, Tao Ping even introduced methods from later special forces into his training outline, which opened the eyes of the instructors in charge of recruit training and also caused these trained soldiers to suffer a lot.

Basically, after a day of training, not many people can straighten their waists, so many soldiers complained. Fortunately, they had two meals of meat every day and were full of white rice, which was rare under the conditions at that time.

Because, at that time, the Kuomintang troops basically had three meals on the day, two were sparse and one dried, and meat was rare. Now, Tao Ping asked them to see meat every day, and finally the soldiers who complained every day found some balance.

Because Tao Ping, who is familiar with the history of the Anti-Japanese War, knew that the days when bullets were fired and artillery shells were used were gone forever, and the days ahead must be counted. In the days to come, he and this army will face various difficulties, lacking food and clothing, lacking guns and bullets. Especially in the three years from 1939 to 1942, the situation of the troops will be even more difficult in the Japanese Qingxiang movement.
