Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 157

On the afternoon of August 1940, 7, the day before the battle started.

At the forward position of Lijiagou in Qiu County, Zhou Weihan and the three of them led people to inspect the positions of each regiment. Zhou Weihan came from Wuqin's third regiment.

In addition to leaving Jing Dagang's first regiment as a reserve team, Xu Dali's second regiment, Wu Qin's third regiment, and Wang Yigong's fourth regiment lined up along Jize and Qiu counties, occupying various strategic points going south. land.

"Wu Qin, the blocking position is well arranged!" Zhou Weihan praised after finishing his inspection.

"Detachment Captain, our regiment has been building a position since yesterday, and we are just waiting for the tenacious troops from Shiyou Sanbu to come to our door!" Wu Qin said with a smile.

"Southern Hebei is different from southeastern Shanxi. The terrain is mostly plain, suitable for mechanized warfare and cavalry charges! The brother troops in southern Hebei are having a hard time!" Zhou Weihan said worriedly.

In the future, the independent detachment will not fight the Japanese army in southern Hebei as smoothly as it did in Wuyi.

Southern Hebei belongs to the North China Plain and has a dry climate, which is conducive to the cultivation of high-stalk crops such as sorghum and corn. When these plants are about to mature in summer and autumn, the height of these plants is almost more than 2 meters, becoming a natural hidden barrier.

When the puppet army entered the southern Hebei base area in summer and autumn to raid, it was also the time when these two plants grew particularly vigorously and were close to harvest.I saw a green gauze tent several meters high stretching across the vast wilderness.

The Eighth Route Army ambushed in the green gauze tent, so that it was completely integrated with the green gauze tent, so that the Japanese and puppet troops could not detect it. They fired a shot to change the place, so that the Japanese and puppet troops who came to sweep them fell down on the edge of the green gauze tent without knowing it.

"Did you see the green gauze tent in front? We also need to arrange people inside. When the enemy sneaks in, where are you going to find people?" Zhou Weihan said.

"I went inside the green gauze tent to investigate it myself. People went in to cover it tightly, and I couldn't even see a person. The green gauze tent is connected one by one. If the recalcitrant army who fled gets inside, then we will Then they have nothing to do!" Wu Qin and Zhou Weihan poured out their bitterness.

"I said, why do you complain? Although what you said is the truth, as a commander, you should be a bit more active. Didn't you just say that? You said that the green gauze tents within three or four miles in front of the position will be arranged for manpower. As long as the enemy dares to go Drill inside, just punch it out for me!

We don't have any deep hatred with them, there is no need to fight to the death, attack the small group, unite the majority, and send people to surrender at that time! "

After listening to Zhou Weihan's words, Wu Qin thought to himself that the first level of government officials crushed people to death, and I let you say everything.

However, Wu Qin didn't dare to make mistakes on the face: "Detachment Captain, just watch!"

Donghe Village in the south of Weixian County, where the first part of the Independent Fourth Brigade is stationed.

The room was filled with smoke, and the atmosphere in the room was very depressing. Several officers of the Independent Fourth Brigade were lighting cigarettes and smoking non-stop.

"Tuan Zuo, it's about this time, it's time to make a decision!" One person said to the officer sitting at the top.

"Although I don't like the Eighth Route Army, it's a team that fights devils. What have we become? The little devils who colluded with his mother beat our own people, and the local people poked our backs!"

"That is, when the Central Plains War came out of my hometown in the Northwest, I haven't been back until now. It is also the Northwest Army. The 29th Army is fighting with the little devils on the Great Wall to the end. Let's watch the fun!"

All the people present here talk non-stop when you talk and I talk. In the final analysis, Shi Yousan lost the hearts of the people in the Sixty-ninth Army.

"I, Kang Yongtu, followed him in the [-]th year of the Republic of China. In the [-]th year of the Republic of China, Shi Yousan accepted the appointment of the Guangzhou Nationalist Government and sent troops to oppose the Feng Faction.

I was attacked by Jiang and Zhang from the north and the south. I was his guard battalion commander at the time. I took Shi Yousan and fled to Dezhou to take shelter under Han Fuju's command.

Shi Yousan has kindness to me and let me be the head of the regiment. I am grateful to him, but now the little devils occupy more than half of China, and they want to go to the two ends of the snakes and rats like before, and go to the little devils, hum! "Kang Yongtu snorted coldly, his fists clenched tightly.

"Tuan Zuo, all of you here are old brothers who have lived and died together. If you say something, the brothers will follow you!" One person stood up and said loudly.

"Tuan Zuo, playing with the little devil, brothers have no objection, but I heard that the Eighth Route Army has strict discipline, and the brothers under our command are used to being loose, I'm afraid we won't be able to please the Eighth Route Army!" Another person said worriedly.

Kang Yongtu glared at the man, and said: "You are right, but it is precisely because of the strict discipline of the Eighth Route Army that I plan to take you to join them. If you return to the National Army, you will be killed Cannon fodder, I don't know how he died.

The Eighth Route Army treats everyone equally, as long as it is a genuine anti-Japanese team, they welcome it, and will not let the brothers die! "

After Kang Yongtu finished speaking, everyone in the room nodded one after another: "Tuan Zuo, we are not afraid of death, but if you don't want to die for no reason, go to the Eighth Route Army. They will beat up little devils themselves, and they will definitely not kill themselves at critical moments. Oil it, let us go to die!"

"If someone really can't stand the rules of the Eighth Route Army, I, Kang Yongtu, will not embarrass my brothers. At that time, I will tell the Eighth Route Army to let you go to the New Eighth Army. But if one day we meet each other on the battlefield, don't Blame our subordinates for being merciless." Kang Yongtu said decisively.

"That's it. The brigade came back from the military headquarters meeting and asked our regiment to go south as a vanguard tomorrow morning to open up the connection between Weihe and the New Eighth Army. We just took this opportunity to revolt on the battlefield.

After you go back, don't tell anyone about this matter, start pulling out early tomorrow morning, and tell the brothers below when the time is right, remember that the white towel on the right arm is a sign of uprising! "

The situation similar to the above is not an exception in the Sixty-ninth Army. Our army has long known that there will be a battle with Shiyou Sanbu sooner or later. When it arrived in southern Hebei, it made many arrangements in the Sixty-ninth Army.

The entire [-]th Army, including Shi Yousan, knew that the Eighth Route Army was gathering heavy troops in southern Hebei, but Zhou Weihan's independent detachment arrived along the line of Qiu County secretly, and the [-]th Army did not know that the rear route was cut off by the independent detachment.

According to intelligence, there are only some local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army on the retreat route.

In the early morning of July 7, the Kangyongtu Regiment of the Fourth Independent Brigade followed the order of Shangfeng, and the battalions began to assemble in an orderly manner, starting from the station and heading south.

"Traveler, don't send it away. I will lead the troops south first, and then I will meet the big troops!" Kang Yongtu said with a smile on his face.

"Old Kang, the military department sent a telegram in the morning. The [-]st Division has already exchanged fire with the Eighth Route Army. It seems that the Eighth Route Army is here for real. Our brigade must establish contact with the New Eighth Army for the whole army. You guys The regiment is a vanguard regiment again, and the retreat of the entire [-]th Army depends on you." Duan Haizhou, commander of the Fourth Independent Brigade, patted Kang Yongtu on the shoulder and said.

Kang Yongtu wanted to say something, but he thought that Duan Haizhou came from the Eighth Route Army. It is difficult for the whole army to say who will join the Eighth Route Army.
