Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 170
July [-]th at around five o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhou Weihan's independent detachment arrived first, followed by the 115th Division's independent brigade chasing from the east, and the central column from the north one after another. Shiyou's third division was thus besieged in Shuangma Town, [-] miles east of Weixian County.

"Captain Ding, Commander Hao, thanks to your two regiments who arrived in time and blocked Shiyou's three divisions here, otherwise we might have to attack the county seat of Wei County!"

"Hey, it's just a coincidence that we met! Now that the remnants of Shi Yousan are huddled here, it is also a hard nut to crack!" Ding Wei said seriously, changing his embarrassment in front of Hao Zigui before.

"Haha, old Ding, you are much fatter now than before!" Xing Zhiguo rushed over after finishing the affairs in hand.

The two hugged each other tightly, Ding Wei said with a smile: "I said, Lao Xing, we haven't seen each other for some years!"

"Isn't it? I haven't seen you for almost four years since the meeting in northern Shaanxi!" Xing Zhiguo replied.

Ding Wei, Xing Zhiguo, Li Yunlong, and Kong Jie were all former comrades-in-arms of the Fourth Front Army, but their encounters were different after joining forces in northern Shaanxi.

By chance, Ding Wei joined the Eastern Expedition team, while the three of Xing Zhiguo were reorganized into the West Route Army.

It is hard to tell what happened afterwards. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Ding Wei's unit was reorganized into the 115th Division.

"I heard that you were the deputy chief of the combat department of the 129th division. Why did you come to southern Hebei?" Ding Wei asked.

"Old Xing, he is now the Chief of Staff of our Southern Hebei Independent Detachment!" Zhou Weihan explained.

"Okay, Lao Xing, you didn't work for nothing in the agency, and you were promoted to two ranks in a blink of an eye and became the chief of staff of the detachment!"

"You are not lazy, you are the head of the main regiment. Before coming to Jinan, I heard from Lao Li and the others that you had a lot of fun playing in Jizhong. Your 28th regiment brewed sweet potato roasts by yourself." , self-sufficiency, and started a business!" Xing Zhiguo said in a low voice.

"Hey, isn't this forced and helpless? There are [-] people in the whole regiment, and they must find something to make a living, right? You can't drink and eat meat, so you can starve yourself!"

The Jizhong Military Region where Ding Wei’s 28th Regiment is located belongs to the second-level military region under the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. Due to the dense population, rich products and relatively good economic foundation in the central Jizhong area.

光是主力部队就有第22团、第23团、第26团、第27团、第28团、第31团、第32团、第33团，八个团的建制——丁伟的28团就赫然在列。

This time, he was ordered to come to southern Hebei for support. Ding Wei's 28th Regiment of more than 2000 people was dispatched by the whole army, while Hao Zigui's 23rd Regiment only brought over 1000 people from three infantry battalions.

A few people were talking, and the correspondent of the headquarters informed everyone to go to the headquarters for a meeting.

"Commander Ding, Commander Song specifically asked you and Captain Hao to go to the headquarters to report the situation!" said the correspondent.

"Old Ding, you go, I'll keep an eye on the ground!" Hao Zigui was still not convinced by Ding Wei at first, but this time Ding Wei showed him a hand. Hao Zigui knew that he was not as good as Ding Wei in terms of strategy, so he simply Make a good sale and let Ding Wei go to the meeting.

Then Zhou Weihan and Ding Wei rushed to the foot of a hill four or five miles away from the battlefield.

In the headquarters, Brigadier Yang of the Independent Brigade of the 115th Division, Commander Xu of the Central Column, Zhou Weihan and Ding Wei, and the heads of the various departments of the Eighth Route Army surrounded on all sides were present.

When Commander Song saw that the personnel had arrived, he said directly: "The Japanese army in Xingtai, the local comrades have been closely monitoring, and if there is any situation, we will notify our department as soon as possible!

Old Xu, these troops are not familiar with the terrain in southern Hebei. Your central column currently has 5 regiments. The headquarters decided to transfer the first regiment of the advanced column, and the third regiment of the youth column will be deployed on the road from Xingtai to Wei County. Line blocking reinforcements of the Japanese army.

The local armed forces in Guangzong, Pingxiang, Nanhe and other counties are all mobilized by you.I have only one request, block the Japanese army in Xingtai for at least two days, and give the main force time to wipe out Shiyou Sanbu! "

"Yes, Commander Song, our department promises to complete the task!"

"Captain Ding, your department is the first to arrive, tell me about the situation of the third department of Shiyou!"

"Commanders, after our two regiments arrived, we first had an encounter with the enemy. Our department just dug some foxholes in the position as cover, and then a regiment from Shiyou's third department launched an offensive, but the opponent seemed Unwilling to fight, retreat with one blow.

Afterwards, Shiyou's three divisions shrank their troops and built tight fortifications in the Xiabeizhangzhuang and Nanxiaozhuang areas of Shuangma Town. Two lines of defense were built just outside the village!

But the strange thing is that the opponent did not use large-caliber mountain cannons, only mortars were used in the battle! "Ding Wei truthfully reported the situation.

"Haha, Shi Yousan's mountain artillery battalion and anti-aircraft artillery company are in our hands. As for the heavy artillery company, you have to ask Zhou Weihan!" Commander Song said with a smile.

After hearing this, everyone looked at Zhou Weihan in unison. The troops of the Eighth Route Army, not to mention heavy artillery, are very few who can use mountain artillery!
"Fortunately, the enemy's heavy artillery company happened to collide with our reconnaissance company!" Zhou Weihan explained vaguely.

"Come back to the subject, now Shiyou's three remnants are surrounded by us, and now it's the most critical moment, we have sufficient strength in terms of strength.

Excluding the two regiments that blocked the Japanese army in the central column, there were three regiments left in the north, three regiments in the independent brigade in the east, four regiments in the independent detachment in the south, plus the 23rd and 28th regiments in the west, making a total of 12 regiments.

Launch an attack before dark to test the enemy's firepower!Don't stop attacking from all directions at night, you can send a small group of troops to harass the enemy! "

"Commander Song, which direction is the main attack?" Zhou Weihan asked.

"Except for the main attack on the west side, Ding Wei, you need to slow down your offensive on the west side, give the three friends the hope of breaking through, it is best to induce them to attack, and eliminate them through field battles!"

"One more thing, although we blocked the reinforcements of the Japanese army on land, we in the sky can't do anything about it. Just in case, all your ministries should make good camouflage and dig air-raid shelters!" Commander Song finally emphasized.

As for the Japanese troops stationed in Wei County, everyone present did not mention it. From Zhou Weihan's point of view, it was too late for the small group of Japanese troops in Wei County to hide in the city!

At this time, the Eighth Route Army is in full swing, how dare you tease the Eighth Route Army's tiger beard!
When Zhou Weihan returned to the headquarters of the independent detachment, the troops were building positions.

"Detachment leader, all ministries have built fortifications according to the requirements, and the artillery battalion has also set up positions, just waiting for the general offensive!" Xing Zhiguohui reported.

"According to what I said before, Xu Dali's Second Regiment launched an attack first, and Japanese planes may attack. Let the Second Regiment dig an air-raid shelter on the ground! The rest of the regiments retreat to the surrounding green gauze tents!" Zhou Weihan instructed.

At this time, Zhou Weihan's mind was full of how to fuck the little devil.
