Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 213 Where Does the Independent Detachment Go?
"Let me tell you in advance that when we were negotiating with the National Government, the other party proposed that our Eighth Route Army send a unit into the Zhongtiao Mountain area!" said the deputy chief of staff.

Zhou Weihan knew that this was because the headquarters did not agree, otherwise the news would have spread to the outside world!
Looking at the armed forces of the Eighth Route Army, a regiment-level armed force of more than a thousand people entered Zhongtiao Mountain, a bloody battlefield where hundreds of thousands of people fought, and no matter where they were arranged to enter, they would not be able to splash a single splash.

"The headquarters considers that if a unit is sent into Zhongtiao Mountain, even if it is a unit of [-] to [-] people, it is in a different place. With the attitude of the national army towards our Eighth Route Army, it would like to get rid of it as soon as possible. Without the advantage of guerrilla warfare! So I didn’t agree at that time!”

"The national army is holding each other back, if the Eighth Route Army goes to fight together, it will definitely be used as cannon fodder!" Zhou Weihan said with a serious face.

The deputy chief of staff took out a newspaper and said, "Look at this newspaper, it was brought back by the comrades in the Chongqing office! After the negotiations, such content is not uncommon in various newspapers!"

Zhou Weihan unfolded the newspaper, and saw that the most conspicuous main board read, The Eighth Route Army swims without fighting, but in fact preserves its strength.

Looking down, Zhou Weihan became angry, put the newspaper on the table, and cursed: "Isn't this a fucking fart? Is the editor of this newspaper blind?"

"Don't be afraid of being blind, but be afraid of being blind!" The boss came in from outside the house at this time.

"Boss!" Seeing the boss coming in, Zhou Weihan hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Sit down, did the chief of staff tell you?" the boss asked.

"said!"

"What do you think of the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain?"

"The geographical location of Zhongtiao Mountain is too important. Once the Japanese army captures it, the situation in North China will be reversed, and the advantage of our Eighth Route Army's painstaking efforts in the enemy's rear will disappear!" Zhou Weihan said.

"You've hit the point with this sentence, let's continue!"

Zhou Weihan then re-explained the analysis of Li Yunlong and others that day.

"If Zhongtiao Mountain is not lost, it can not only contain the strength of the Japanese army, but also restrain the strength of the national army. In this way, the Japanese army will not be able to spare to sweep my base area, and the national army will not have the intention to engage in friction with us!" Zhou Weihan said
"Well, the central government also means the same thing. Since you started the deal with Isamu Terauchi, Isamu Terauchi has connected a lot of relationships within the Japanese army. The deal with the Japanese army is not limited to one place. , Hebei, Shandong and other places have transactions with the local Japanese army.

The armed forces of the Eighth Route Army have reported that their strength has been greatly improved compared to before the transaction. "

"Based on this, in order to avoid the fall of Zhongtiao Mountain and the return of Japanese troops, the central government feels that it is possible to send troops to Zhongtiao Mountain, but now is not the time, and we must wait until the time is right to help. It is better to beat the side drum now!" said the boss.

"In addition to the military significance, it can also allow us to be more politically active. On the condition of supporting Zhongtiao Mountain, we can also negotiate with the Nationalist Government. Many patriotic groups in Southeast Asia have aided our Eighth Route Army. The supplies were intercepted by the Kuomintang. At the beginning of the year, The plan of the Soviet Union to assist the two Soviet brigades was not implemented because of its opposition!" The boss said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Zhou Weihan thought to himself that his superiors were thinking more far-reaching. If they could really get on the line with the Soviet Union, let alone a few bullet production lines, it would be of great help to the Eighth Route Army.

"Boss, I would like to lead my troops into Zhongtiao Mountain to attack the Japanese army!" Zhou Weihan said firmly.

"Haha!" The boss and the deputy chief of staff looked at each other and smiled.

"After telling you so much, you finally took the initiative to speak, and I couldn't help it!" the deputy chief of staff said with a smile.

"You are indeed the most suitable person. First, your personal ability is recognized by all of us.

Second, the weaponry and combat effectiveness of your independent detachment are top-notch within the Eighth Route Army. Since you want to support Zhongtiao Mountain, you should send your fist troops out.

Third, your personal background is also very suitable! "The boss analyzed Zhou Weihan.

"Zhou Weihan, your elder brother Zhou Weiguo is currently the deputy commander-in-chief of the [-]th Group Army of the National Army and the commander of the First Army. With this relationship, even if the National Army has unruly ideas, it will be afraid!" Deputy Chief of Staff Long said.

"I really don't know about this. I have lost contact since I left home. I haven't contacted him for many years!" Zhou Weihan said rather nervously.

The deputy chief of staff saw the nervous look on Zhou Weihan's face, and said, "Don't be nervous, after all, the two sides have cooperated before, and there are many people in our Eighth Route Army who are inextricably linked with the national army. Constantly. The chairman's cousin is still an important member of the military command!"

"You are a good comrade who has been tested by the organization, we trust you!"

"Chief of Staff, where is my second brother Zhou Weimin now? Is he still in Taiyuan?" Zhou Weihan asked with concern.

"There are strict disciplines in underground work, even relatives can't tell, but Comrade Zhou Weimin has returned to Taiyuan to continue to serve as the head of the organization!" said the deputy chief of staff.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic!" The boss interrupted the conversation between the two.

"The outside world claims that our Eighth Route Army swims and does not fight, and the rumors that we only attack friendly troops are rampant. At present, the headquarters is planning a new round of combat plans. Breaking the rumors is only one of them. What is more important is breaking the cage policy of the Japanese army.

The first stage of the plan is to attack Zhengtai Road and strengthen the connection between our Taihang Mountain base area and the Jinchaji border area. "The boss said and slammed his fist on the Zhengtai line.

"Now do you know the role of the headquarters in arranging your independent detachment in the Tainan area?" The boss asked with a smile
"Understood, destroy the Hanchang Highway and the Pinghan Railway, cut off the communication line of the Japanese army, and strengthen the connection with the Southern Hebei Military Region!" Zhou Weihan said decisively.

"Well, but your department has a heavy burden. It is close to the Japanese army's communication line, and the Japanese army's reinforcements will be very convenient. You have to prepare in advance!" The boss said with a serious face.

While several people were talking, Political Commissar Deng came in with two cigarettes between them.

"It's very lively, what to watch, you two don't smoke!" Commissar Deng said with a smile.

"Zhou Weihan, I accept your kindness. If you don't smoke when thinking about things, your brain will not be smooth!"

Zhou Weihan couldn't help laughing when he heard that, the heads of the headquarters each had their own hobbies, but Political Commissar Deng was the only one who smoked.

From the Anti-Japanese War to the War of Liberation, there was an interesting phenomenon among the military and political chief officers of several major military regions, that is, most of the military chief officers did not drink or smoke, and had few other hobbies, while the political chief officers liked to smoke, drink, Play cards, chess and so on.

For example, in the Liu Deng combination, Liu does not smoke, does not drink, does not play cards, does not play chess, and does not talk too much, while Deng likes to smoke and play cards.

The Huaye Chen Su combination, although Chen is the top leader and political commissar, Su is mainly in charge of the military command.

Su doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, doesn't play cards, doesn't play chess, and his only hobby is playing the harmonica.

Chen has many hobbies, smoking, drinking, playing chess, and composing poetry.

Lin is the same. He doesn't smoke, drink, play cards or chess. His only hobbies are reading maps and eating soybeans.

Not to mention Boss Peng, who tied up his hair and joined the army early on. He has a strict life style, does not play cards, does not smoke, does not drink, and his only hobby is playing chess.

During the Anti-Japanese War, he often played chess with Boss Zhu on the Taihang Mountains. A group of high-ranking generals watched, and the two often quarreled because of their regrets.

Deputy Commander Xu doesn't have any special hobbies, but he sometimes engages in some hobbies in his spare time. For example, when he was the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army, he often played the erhu.

During the Long March, he crossed the grassland and raised a monkey picked up in northwestern Sichuan. There was no war. When marching, the monkey stood on his shoulder every day.

Not to mention those members of the standing committee in Yanzhou, each of them is a smoker,
Comrade Wu Hao is a big drinker, he can't pour a thousand cups, he is also a master of dancing, and he was even a handsome man when he was young.

Political Commissar Deng even lit a cigarette while speaking, and then said: "I have made it clear to Duan Haizhou that it is really inappropriate for him to stay in the Eighth Route Army, and he himself is determined to return to southern Hebei to start a new one." Team, he personally asked the organization to send him several political cadres."

"By the way, after you go back, you support him with some weapons and ammunition, which is considered to be some assistance to the anti-Japanese fighters on behalf of our Eighth Route Army!" Political Commissar Deng finally said.

"I understand!" Zhou Weihan replied.

Then several people made a detailed deployment of the next step of the independent detachment's combat plan.

The day after Zhou Weihan left, that is, July 1940, 7.

The Eighth Route Army headquarters issued the "Battle Preparation Order" to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the 129th, and the 120th Division, and reported it to the Central Military Commission at the same time. After analyzing the changes in domestic and foreign situations, the "Order" stipulates that the total force directly participating in the Zhengtai Line operations should be no less than 22 regiments, requiring the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to send 10 regiments, the 129th Division to send 8 regiments, and the 120th Division to send 4 regiments. 6 to [-] regiments were dispatched, most of the artillery regiment of the headquarters, and a part of the engineers also participated in the battle; the troops to cooperate with other railways were arranged by each district.

The curtain of a war was slowly opened. This was the largest battle to attack the Japanese army actively. It played the prestige of the anti-Japanese army and people behind the enemy lines, inspired the confidence of the people of the whole country to fight for the victory of the War of Resistance, and strongly supported the Kuomintang strategically. frontal battlefield.The victory of the Hundred Regiments War dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese aggressors, inspired the Chinese people's anti-war will, wrote a glorious page in the history of my country's Anti-Japanese War, and had a huge impact internationally.

And Zhou Weihan will continue to write his own legend.
