Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 154

After the meeting, Li Daben found Zhou Weihan.

"Captain, with your words, we have become a garrison regiment. When will we become the main force?" Li Daben complained bitterly.

"I said, don't be dissatisfied with Li's ability. You are now the head of the regiment, and you have more than 1000 people under your command!"

"Head, what can happen on the border of Wuyi and Wu'an?"

"Don't let me take it lightly. Although there will be no conflict with the little devil in a short time, there are not only Japanese troops in this land, but also stubborn troops in the south. Don't let the enemy take over.

Wuyi and Wu'an are the base camps of our independent detachment. They are production bases, breeding farms, and vermicelli factories. Your current task is to conduct transactions with Terauchi Yong as usual to ensure the business of the warehouse. It is early July and the autumn harvest is about to begin. , to help local comrades do a good job in the autumn harvest, Li is very capable, and the burden on you is not light! "Zhou Weihan instructed.

Zhou Weihan had no choice but to keep Li Daben in Wuyi. The cooperation with Si Neiyong could not be done without him, and other people really couldn't do it.

At the beginning of July 1940, after the war in western Hebei ended, Zhu Huaibing and Lu Zhonglin withdrew southward to Wu'an, Shexian, and Cixian areas. In southern Hebei, only the 7th Army headed by Shi Yousan remained, with the [-]th Army under its jurisdiction. New Eighth Army.

At first, Shi Yousan strongly ordered his independent Fourth Brigade to move from Qinghe to the Ningjin area, while strengthening ties with the stubborn army in western Shandong, and ordered the Gao Shuxun of the New Eighth Army to extend from northwest Shandong to southern Hebei, in an attempt to link up with the west of Pinghan Road and the The recalcitrant troops in Shandong joined together and launched a massive attack on the Eighth Route Army stationed in southern Hebei.

The advance column to the east of the Weihe River, the Zhuxian column, and the fifth detachment of the advancing column transferred from the Hebei-Shandong border to the northwest of Shandong dealt continuous blows to Li Shuchun's troops, and cooperated with the 115th Division Independent Brigade to restrain the New Eighth Army's Gao Shuxun's department.

The 2 regiments of the Jizhong Military Region, the 23rd Regiment and the 28th Regiment were ordered by the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to advance to the Ningjin area, forcing the third independent Fourth Brigade of Shiyou to withdraw to the Qinghe area.

The above actions shattered Shi Yousan's attempt to unite the Pinghan Road West and Shandong stubborn troops, making them confined in the narrow area between Nangong, Weixian, Zaoqiang, and Qinghe.

At this time, the true colors of Shi Yousan's collusion with the Japanese army against the Communist Party and the people have been seen through by the masses in southern Hebei and Zhinan. Ding Shuben, with the help of the Eighth Route Army, temporarily held a wait-and-see attitude and did not dare to openly attack the Eighth Route Army.

This put Shi Yousan in an isolated position both politically and militarily.

Afterwards, the Shi You San Department successively surrounded and disarmed two companies of the Eastward Column of the 2th Division of the Eighth Route Army and one platoon of the Youth Column.

It also used its temporary third division and independent fourth brigade to besiege the third regiment of the eastward column stationed in the northwest of Qinghe and the two county brigades of Qingjiang and Qinghe, and wiped out most of the Qingjiang county brigade.

Under such circumstances, the teacher comrades called the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the [-]th Division, pointing out that the policy of fighting for the third division of Shiyou is no longer applicable, and we should resolutely and completely eliminate it when it attacks us.

According to this instruction and the deployment of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the [-]th Division decided to take advantage of the fact that Zhu Huaibing's troops had been forced to retreat south and that Gao Shuxun's troops were still east of the Weihe River, so as to concentrate troops from southern Hebei, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, and central Hebei, in the Song Dynasty. Under the unified command of the commander, the anti-stubborn campaign in southern Hebei was organized.

"Old Zhao, Lao Xing, the headquarters sent an urgent call, ordering our independent detachment to move to southern Hebei immediately." Zhou Weihan hurriedly found Zhao Gang and said.

"Great, I'll just wait for this day. Did you tell me where to meet up with the brother troops?" Zhao Gang asked.

"The headquarters just asked us to stay in Feixiang first, and then contact Commander Song and Commander Chen in southern Hebei!" Zhou Weihan said.

"Dong Jiang, immediately send someone to notify the regiments to gather at Mount Yanwang!"

"Taking advantage of this time, we have to make a good calculation!" Zhou Weihan said.

"According to the situation reported by the headquarters, there are 20 regiments of fraternal troops gathered in southern Hebei, plus our independent detachment, there are at least [-] people. The Sixty-ninth Army and Sun Liangcheng's troops probably numbered less than [-] people.

In terms of numbers, we have the advantage in actual combat. It is easy to defeat the stubborn army, but it is difficult to eliminate them. Once they are defeated, they will definitely go south to join Gao Shuxun's troops in Northwest Shandong.

If you ask me, our independent detachment must be firmly nailed to the area around Qiu County to prevent it from going south. "Zhou Weihan analyzed.

"Are all our troops dispatched?" Xing Zhiguo asked.

"Except for the equipment repair station, medical office, and supply company, all the main forces are dispatched. I will lead Jing Dagang's regiment, cavalry company, and reconnaissance company first, and you will follow." Zhou Weihan said.

On the same day, the independent detachment quickly assembled and marched into southern Hebei from Mazhuang, Zhangzhuang, and Shitougou on the Pinghan Line in three batches.

In the early morning of the next day, the vanguard of the independent detachment arrived in Feixiang County.

He Wensheng, the head of the enemy industry unit who had been staying in southern Hebei, came to report to work.

"Commander, according to information, Shi Yousan's military headquarters and special service brigade are stationed in Nangong, its 181st division is stationed in the Zaoqiang area, the temporary third division and Sun Liangcheng's department are stationed in the north of Weixian County, and the independent fourth brigade is stationed in Weixian County South!

The Gao Shuxun Department of the New Eighth Army is also lined up east of the Weihe River. The military headquarters is in Guancheng, Shen County, and the troops are stationed between Linqing and Guan County! "He Wenshenghui reported.

"Heh, the battle is really not small. Is there any news that Gao Shuxun's department is going to cross the river now?" Zhou Weihan asked.

"Gao Shuxun's troops were unwilling to fight a civil war. In addition, Shi Yousan colluded with the little devils. They also had internal conflicts. Now the New Eighth Army has been restrained by our army's advance column and Zhuxian column to the east of Weihe River. , I am afraid that I am too busy to take care of myself and cannot support Shi Yousan!"

"Looking at it this way, Shi Yousan will definitely be unable to escape. You should immediately send someone to investigate whether there are a large number of boats gathering along the Wei River, find their gathering place, and cut off Shi Yousan's escape!" Zhou Weihan ordered.

Zhou Weihan knew that Shi Yousan fled all the way south, from Duhe in Daming County, to Luxi.

But now that there is an additional variable of the independent detachment, the head of the headquarters is also far-sighted, and put the independent detachment on the retreat route of Shi Yousan, directly blocking it.

On July 1940, 7, more than 3 people from the independent detachment successively assembled in Feixiang, southern Hebei.

"Old Zhao, Lao Xing, I'm going to Julu for a meeting right now. We have gathered so many troops in southern Hebei. It's impossible for Shi Yousan not to know. Maybe they are ready to run now. You will arrange the second, third, and fourth regiments in Ji Organize them to flee south along the Ze and Qiu counties, and drive them along the Weihe River, and a regiment will serve as a reserve team, waiting for the opportunity to destroy their ferry!" Zhou Weihan ordered.

"The radio station must be turned on at all times, if there is anything wrong, the radio station will contact you!"

"Old Zhou, Jinan is unfamiliar with the place, so be careful along the way."

"rest assured!"

Then Zhou Weihan took the reconnaissance company all the way north to participate in the pre-war meeting in Julu.
