    Li Guoyao also had his own considerations in making such a decision. The troops gathered on Yangshan Mountain are now different from those in the past. After more than half a month of development, in addition to the more than 800 people Li Guoyao brought, there are also Zhang  Shaolin brought more than a hundred people.

    In addition, there are also 700 or 800 Japanese and puppet soldiers captured in the past few days. The two armies combined have at least 17800 or even 2000 people.

    Such a large number of troops is equivalent to a regiment of the national army. It is not easy to manage!

    Although this small number of troops is nothing compared to the tens of thousands of Shandong Guerrilla Corps, it is an armed force that cannot be ignored in southwest Shandong.

    Shandong is different from Anhui and Wuhan where it was previously located. It has been a densely populated province since ancient times.  Moreover, the folk customs in Shandong have not been known for being weak since ancient times. Whether it is the 108 generals of Shuibo Liangshan who are famous all over the world or the Boxers who are frightened by foreigners, they all originated in Shandong.

    It can be said that what Shandong lacks now is a kind of correct guidance. As long as someone dares to stand up and resist at the first time, and has a theory that is correct enough and can move people's hearts, then Shandong's revolution will definitely show the potential of starting a prairie fire.  .

    The current situation is imminent, so Li Guoyao does not dare to be careless.

    In order to ensure victory in this battle, Li Guoyao decided to personally command the battle!

    Except for the reconnaissance troops sent out, all troops received orders to assemble near Yangshan.

    Li Guoyao has high expectations for the troops under his command. Although there are not many troops, most of them are elite.

    In addition, the physical quality of this unit is very strong. Although these people are average with guns, they are very bad when it comes to hand-to-hand combat.

    You must know that Japan now is not the Japan it was two years ago, even though the Japanese army has snatched a large amount of resources from China to Japan in the past two years, whether it is gold, silver, coal, iron, food, livestock, or even labor force.  But generally speaking, Japan's profits from this war were not as huge as imagined, and it can even be said to be a loss-making deal.

    As the war has entered a stalemate step by step, Japan's economy has begun to decline severely, and some local economies have even experienced rapid recession.

    The most serious thing was the massive attrition of veterans, which severely reduced the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.

    ??And 1939 was a dividing line. The Japanese army before 1939 was generally relatively strong in combat effectiveness. In one-on-one situations or even one-on-two situations, it was difficult for the Chinese army to gain favor from the Japanese.

    However, after 1939, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army generally declined sharply. In addition to the important factor of the decline of Japan's national power, a very important point was the tenacious resistance of the Chinese army, especially the several large-scale battles organized by the National Government.  The effective force of the Japanese army caused huge lethality, and the direct result was that the number of veterans of the Japanese army dropped rapidly.

    As we all know, the number of veterans is directly related to the combat effectiveness of an army.

    The reason why the Japanese army was so powerful before was because the vast majority of its soldiers were composed of experienced veterans, with the shortest service time being more than three years. In addition, the Japanese army continued to send troops to China and the Korean Peninsula.  The troops were trained with the resistance forces of North Korea and China, so when the war started in 1937, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness was at its peak.

    During the same period, although China was also experiencing frequent wars, it had countless outstanding soldiers.  However, at that time, China was no match for the Japanese army in terms of the quality of its soldiers or weapons and equipment. Therefore, as soon as the war started, China showed a one-sided unfavorable situation. It was precisely because of this that the Japanese army, which was rampant with pride and complacency, shouted "Three  The arrogant slogan of "Destroy China in a Month".

    However, nearly two years have passed, and China is still persisting!

    Although China¡¯s losses were surprisingly huge, the losses caused to the Japanese army were also extremely heavy. Until now, China still has not surrendered as the Western powers expected. On the contrary, Japan has become more and more tired.

    Li Guoyao led his troops into Shandong with the purpose of destroying the will of the little devils to fight and re-establishing the confidence of the people in Shandong to resist the war.

    As for how to fight this battle, Li Guoyao already had a clue in his mind. It was still the old method of luring the enemy deep into the enemy's territory and encircling the target for reinforcements, guerrilla warfare.

    It¡¯s not that Li Guoyao doesn¡¯t want to fight regular warfare, but he currently has limited troops. With less than 2,000 men, he can¡¯t make a big splash. On the contrary, guerrilla warfare is more flexible and changeable.

    Regarding the role of guerrilla warfare, many people still remain skeptical until now, especially when many fruit fans mentioned it.?The first thing that comes to mind when it comes to guerrilla tactics is "travel without attacking."

    Each of us has our own understanding of this protracted war.  People who really understand this period of history actually have a question in their minds, that is, the Nationalist Government conducted 22 large-scale battles with the Japanese army in the front, killing hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, and shattering the Japanese army's three-month plan to destroy China.  plan.

    At the same time, hundreds of Kuomintang generals died gloriously in these battles, and their names can be seen in major Anti-Japanese War museums in China.  So compared to the 22 large-scale battles of the Kuomintang army's frontal resistance, how significant was the guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines to the Anti-Japanese War? How much contribution did this type of tactics, mainly ambush warfare and circle fighting, make to the Anti-Japanese War?

    But in fact, the answer to this question is very clear. Guerrilla warfare and the Eighth Route Army that created guerrilla warfare played almost as important a role in the Anti-Japanese War as the National Government and contributed equally as much.

    Before 1937 to 1939, the role of the Kuomintang in the frontal battlefield was unquestionable, and just as the National Government promoted, the National Government at that time was the mainstay of China's Anti-Japanese War.

    But after 1939, the anti-Japanese battlefield behind enemy lines led by the Red Party truly showed its power. This was something that Chiang Kai-shek and all senior Kuomintang military and political officials did not expect.

    In his military report "On the Battlefields of Liberated Areas", Commander-in-Chief of the Eighth Route Army, Mr. Zhu, mentioned: "The Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army and the South China Anti-Japanese Column fought a total of 11.5 large and small battles against the enemy in the seven and a half years from September 1937 to March 1945.  More than 10,000 times, more than 90,000 enemy and puppet troops were killed or wounded, more than 280,000 enemy and puppet troops were captured, and more than 100,000 enemy and puppet troops were sought to surrender, and the total losses to the enemy and puppet troops totaled more than 130,000."

    And this data is not accurate. Due to frequent wars, the data of the entire South China Anti-Japanese Column before 1943 was not reported to Yan'an, which means that this report is incomplete.

    Let¡¯s talk about the power of guerrilla warfare. In the article ¡°Overview of the Sulu War Zone¡¯s Resistance War in North China in the Seven Years¡±, the Eighth Route Army¡¯s achievements in using guerrilla tactics to destroy the enemy¡¯s ¡°cage policy¡± and launch a ¡°traffic war¡± were introduced: ¡°  In total, on the third anniversary of the Anti-Japanese War, the Sulu War Zone destroyed 20 kilometers of railways, 8,200 kilometers of highways, destroyed 42,220 electric poles, and collected 10,924 kilograms of electric wires in North China. On the fourth anniversary of the Anti-Japanese War, a total of 1,082 kilometers of railways, 5,242 kilometers of highways, and electric poles were destroyed.  234,501 wires, and 7,032 kilograms of wires were collected. On average, 3 kilometers of railways, 15 kilometers of highways, and one and a half bridges were destroyed every day. One railway station was blown up almost every seven days, one locomotive was blown up every nine days, and one enemy car was blown up every day.  , destroying 42 electric poles and collecting 192 kilograms of wires every day. The length of the railways destroyed in the fourth anniversary of the Anti-Japanese War alone is equivalent to one Pingsui Road, one and a half Tongpu Road, and three Jiaoji Roads."

    Because of this, in a realistic environment where the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is unwise to confront the enemy head-on. On the contrary, guerrilla tactics can better unleash the combat capabilities of the troops.

    Anyway, Li Guoyao went to southwestern Shandong not to capture towns in Heze and other places. He just wanted to establish a foothold in southwestern Shandong and develop the power of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps into this area. As for how many troops and how much territory he could have, Li Guoyao didn't have much idea.  Much research.

    To be honest, Li Guoyao was not so afraid of the Japanese and puppet troops in Shandong. It was just that Li Guoyao did not want his troops to become the first ones and become the main targets of the little devils.

    In terms of fighting for more than a year, although the Shandong Guerrilla Corps achieved amazing results, the losses still exceeded Li Guoyao's expectations.

    In fact, when he has the means, Li Guoyao prefers to make a fortune quietly, just like the Eighth Route Army in North China, who developed secretly.

    "It's just that they were too impatient before. When the Japanese army came to fight, they wanted to destroy each other. They would not be happy if they didn't take advantage. As a result, the two sides became larger and larger, and the battles became more frequent.

    Now that he has arrived in southwestern Shandong, Li Guoyao decided to be gentler and not start a decisive battle with the little devils from the very beginning.

    In fact, Li Guoyao has been wondering whether their current development model is right or wrong. From the perspective of combat effectiveness, it seems that they have no troops. After all, their tactical methods have greatly attacked the Japanese and puppet troops in Shandong and created many military miracles.  .

    But this tactical method also has many shortcomings, that is, it does not protect the people well enough!

    Faced with such a ferocious beast force as the Japanese army, they would vent their anger on the common people if they could not find any troops. Therefore, every time the Japanese and puppet troops completed a sweep, there would be a miserable scene in the base area of ??every family wearing sackcloth and mourning, and every village carrying dead people carrying coffins.  .

    Therefore, Li Guoyao has never had a large-scale construction base. He is afraid of attracting more Japanese invaders. At the same time, he is also considering how to deal with this retaliatory raid by the Japanese and puppet troops.

    Pure guerrilla warfare does not seem to be able to solve this problem. This time he tried to see if he could combine guerrilla warfare and positional warfare. When fighting, he was as fierce as a tiger. After the battle, the troops moved and disappeared without a trace, and they did not stay in one place for a long time.  Wait, so that the little devil has no target for revenge.

    This is an attempt by Li Guoyao, but he just doesn¡¯t know whether it will work or not!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Combining battles with positional warfare, they were as fierce as tigers during the battle.
