After the troops had rested for a few days and felt somewhat relieved, Zhang Yunfei began to summarize and train the troops' tactics.

Soldiers in this era do not have the conditions to provide you with leisurely military training. They can only practice through battle, so tactical summary is particularly important.

Many times, experience and lessons are learned at a painful cost. The training summary of the troops focuses on some of the problems exposed in this battle, such as the weak ability of the troops to attack difficulties and the single method of attacking difficulties.

This can be said to be the inherent weakness of the Eighth Route Army. Sometimes it is stumped by defensive problems like Zhuangzi, a landowner and old wealthy man.

But in the future, they will have more and more opportunities to take the initiative to attack. The transition of troops between offense and defense, the allocation of battlefield firepower, and the construction of field fortifications, etc., will all be new topics for them.

Moreover, the cadres at the company and platoon level of his unit are somewhat weak in independent activities and have relatively poor field combat capabilities in plain areas.

Don't think that everyone in the Eighth Route Army is born to be a master of guerrilla warfare. Even if you think about it, most of the cadres at the company and platoon level are promoted from ordinary soldiers.

Troops like theirs were all newly formed troops with few real veteran Red Army soldiers. It is conceivable that even the platoon leader did not have rich combat experience.

He and Qi Dajiu, who only have three or four years of military service, can serve as commanders and combatants at the battalion and company level.

No matter how good the Eighth Route Army is at reforming people, in such a short period of time, they can become warriors who are brave in battle and obey orders, no problem, and low-level officers who follow orders.

But it's not that simple to become an independent commander and combatant. Take Tiedan as an example, he is relatively flexible to begin with, and he often carries out some independent reconnaissance missions alone, and he accomplishes them very well.

But allowing him to command operations independently is a bit lacking in confidence. This is still an officer like Tiedan who can command a small group of troops and perform tasks independently.

There are even fewer others who only know how to follow orders and lead soldiers, and can truly stand on their own. Of course, there are indeed people who are born to be generals, but they are rare after all, and it is impossible for them to encounter them by chance.

Zhang Yunfei was actively responding, preparing for the enemy's soldiers to invade the border again, so their sentries were paying attention to the enemy's military movements.

Unexpectedly, a man dressed as an authentic local farmer came directly from other places to the village where his headquarters was stationed.

The Eighth Route Army has always been close to the people, and this place is also a fortress village. The Eighth Route Army and the local villagers get along very harmoniously, so they will naturally not disturb the people, and the villagers will not stay away just because there is a garrison here.

So this kind of visiting relatives and friends is quite normal. Of course, there are still necessary inspections at the sentry post, but they are not strict, and the other party has the road opened by the nearby village.

People in this era are quite honest and don't have so many tricks up their sleeves. Naturally, they don't need any anti-counterfeiting measures, so they don't attract anyone's attention.

There are troops stationed by the Eighth Route Army, and the people are living their lives as usual. They visit their homes when they should, and visit relatives and friends when they should. Everything remains the same, which is perfectly normal.

But this man walked to the village and looked around for a long time. When he found that no one was paying attention, he walked to the only well in the village and threw the powdery stuff in a paper bag into the well water.

After putting the things into the well, this guy left the village in a big way under the nose of the sentry at the entrance of the village.

But no one found out what he had thrown into the well. The bag of powder he threw into the well melted into the water immediately, leaving no trace behind.

Although there is a war outside right now, and the Japanese are carrying out sweeps from time to time, no matter how difficult life is, we still have to go on.

In the afternoon, I came to the well from time to time to fetch water, prepare dinner, and fill the water tank at home. No one noticed any difference in the well water today.

As usual, we carry loads of water home. Even if a few of them find that the well water has a somewhat bitter taste today, they won't pay too much attention.

Well water is just that, especially open-air well water, the taste is just that. When the mountain wind blows, anything may fall into it, so it's normal to have a bitter taste.

Besides, in this age, food is precious. Not to mention that the taste is only a little bitter, even if it is rancid, you still have to eat it.

Compared with the common people who went to the well to carry water, the cooking team of Zhang Yunfei's headquarters carried buckets to the back mountain.

These are small mountain villages, usually with only a few dozen households, and it is impossible to accommodate all of Zhang Yunfei's troops. Therefore, their troops are centered on this village and are stationed in the surrounding villages in company units.

This place is not a plain area, and the groundwater is not rich, so the amount of well water is actually not much. During droughts, if the well water is not at the spring, it may dry up.

In some places, villagers fight over water sources and fights often occur.

The Eighth Route Army's principle is not to disturb the people, so when their troops use water, they would rather go far away from the village to get water than compete with the villagers for water.

Of course, it doesn't matter if it's used. It's not a drought now and the water supply isn't too tight.

But this is a matter of attitude. The Eighth Route Army pays great attention to this aspect and cares very much about the feelings of the villagers.

However, the troops use a lot of water, which may cause water congestion. Now, villagers have to wait in line to get water. Therefore, Zhang Yunfei specifically requested that the troops are not allowed to compete with the people for water, let alone use the wells in the village. All drinking water must be provided far away.

to fetch water from the back mountains.

In the back hill of this village, there is a spring with flowing water all the time. There is also a naturally formed reservoir below the spring.

The water in the pool is always full. However, because this spring is a little far away from the village, and the water quality is average and even a bit bitter, it is not as good as the well water, so people don’t like to go there to fetch water. Usually it is just

People who herd cattle or sheep come here to drink from their animals.

The people in the village still rely on the well in the village for drinking water and livestock. After leading the troops to station in this mountain village, in order to avoid overoccupying the well that does not produce much water and only meets the needs of the people in the village.

Zhang Yunfei ordered the troops to fetch water from the spring in the back mountain, whether for cooking or drinking.

As a result, Zhang Yunfei's order prevented the troops from being poisoned and escaped disaster. However, the villagers who used well water, after eating meals cooked with well water or drinking well water, in a very short time
