Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 220 Looking at North China, the main force is assembled

1940 8 Month 17 Day.

The reconnaissance company and Wang Yigong's [-]th Regiment dispatched a small group of troops to investigate the situation around the Ping-Han Railway and returned one after another. At the same time, local comrades also passed on a lot of information.

Zhou Weihan realized that the time was ripe, and immediately ordered the military chiefs of each regiment to hold a meeting in Yanwang Mountain.

At noon on the same day, the military chiefs of the independent detachment regiments and the departments directly under the headquarters, Li Yunlong of the new regiment, Ding Wei of the 28th regiment arrived one after another, and Comrade Wang Ying, director of the Tainan special area.
As soon as Li Yunlong arrived, he opened his voice and yelled: "Old Zhou, hurry up and issue combat missions, Kong Jie's new second regiment started two days ago!"

Li Yunlong has been in a hurry for the past two days, and the surrounding troops have been dispatched one after another after receiving combat missions, but Zhou Weihan has not issued an order for a long time.

"Old Li, what are you in a hurry for? You don't have to be late for a good meal. If soldiers want to benefit from their affairs, they must first sharpen their weapons. All the commanders and fighters of our 28th regiment are ready to fight!" said Ding Wei on the side.

Zhou Weihan waved his hand to signal the two not to worry. Seeing that everyone was here, he said, "I can understand your eagerness to fight, but the situation of the Japanese army has not been investigated clearly. How can I easily order an attack?"

"Then the situation is clear now?" Li Yunlong asked.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten!" Zhou Weihan replied vaguely.

"Let me ask first, how many troops do you have in the Xinyi Regiment and the 28th Regiment?"

"My 28th Regiment currently has more than 2200 people, and the ammunition is sufficient to support a big battle!" Ding Wei said.

"Hey, my new regiment now has 2600 people. Using the weapons and equipment seized from the [-]th Army, we have expanded another battalion from the county brigade and militia!" Li Yunlong said excitedly.

"Old Li, you have such a big appetite, are you afraid of choking?" Ding Wei said with a smile.

Zhou Weihan glanced at Wang Ying, who nodded to show that he knew about the situation.

The armed forces of the Eighth Route Army are generally divided into the main force, the backbone troops of the local military divisions, and the militias of the county brigades and districts, based on the trinity of armed construction ideas.

The Xinyi Regiment and the 28th Regiment are black households in the national army, but they are directly under the jurisdiction of the 386th Brigade and belong to the main force. Generally, there is no long-term fixed defense area, and they fight everywhere.

In the newly formed brigade mentioned above, the brigade commander and deputy brigade commander mostly serve as the commander of the military division, but there are still many local armed basic regiments and local regiments in the military division.

The county brigade and district squad are generally mobilized by the local prefectural government.

The county brigade and other armed forces are a unique organizational system of the people's army. It is different from the field troops of the Eighth Route Army or the People's Liberation Army. Low-intensity combat missions such as the suppression of non-anti-travesties, and the Gongzhou local regime.

County brigades and district squads are representative organizational systems of local armed forces led by our party. Their particularity lies in that they are under the command of county and district committees at ordinary times, and may be assigned to the main force to perform tasks during large-scale battles. Government establishment.

This is also the reason why Zhou Weihan looked at Wang Ying first after hearing that Li Yunlong had expanded the strength of his troops by another battalion.

Although the independent detachment has a large number of people as the main force, there is a problem with the Tainan Commissioner where it is located. It lacks local backbone troops at the intermediate level. This is why the headquarters transferred the Xinyi Regiment and the 28th Regiment to Zhou Weihan's command.

"From the perspective of the whole of North China, the Japanese army has three major transportation arteries from north to south. They are the Tongpu Railway on the west side, which divides our Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi and the Jinchaji border area, and the Pinghan Railway in the middle divides our Taihang base area and southern Hebei. In the military region, the Jinpu Railway on the east side spans our Shandong base.

The Zhengtai Road in the east-west direction has tightly blocked the connection between the Jinchaji border area in the north and the Taihang Mountain base area.Deshi Road divides the connection between Central Hebei and Southern Hebei. "

"And in our Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan base area, the Baijin Railway built by the Japanese army years ago tried to separate the connection between Taihang and Taiyue. In the south of Taiyue, there is the Lintun Highway built by the Japanese army."

"And our Tainan area is the place where the Fourth World War was fought. It is bordered by the Ping-Han Railway in the east, and there is Handan, which is heavily defended by the Japanese 104th Brigade. The Ministry is stationed in Changzhi, as long as the Japanese army sends troops along the highway, the speed will be very fast!" Zhou Weihan pointed to the map on the wall and analyzed step by step.

On the map hanging on the wall, the strongholds and important towns of the Japanese army are clearly marked, but anyone with a little military knowledge can see that the Japanese army has strictly sealed off my base area.

"This is just a general direction. The Japanese army built a lot of strongholds along the highway and its branch lines, and some even inserted into my base like a wedge!" Ding Wei obviously did work during this period.

"The main force currently has six infantry regiments, one cavalry battalion, and one artillery battalion. The total number of people is nearly [-]! But there is a serious shortage of basic troops in the base, and there is only one garrison regiment!" Zhou Weihan said with a serious face.

"I have ordered the assembly of the county brigade and district squad in the Tainan area. They can cooperate with the main force to fight. There are about 1800 people. At the same time, 3000 young and strong people have been mobilized to help transport supplies and destroy roads and railways together!" Wang said. Ying said at the right time.

"Okay, the situation analysis is over, the first step of the battle plan, the new regiment and the 28th regiment spare the Wu'an section, and specifically attack the Shexian, Licheng, and Lucheng sections of the Hanchang Highway!"

"Don't attack blindly. Selectively remove the strongholds inside the base area first, and induce the Japanese troops to send troops to rescue the surrounding strongholds. One of the main forces will ambush, and the other will detour and destroy the empty strongholds and roads!"

"For this battle on the Hanchang Highway, the two regiments will cooperate to fight, with Ding Wei as the leader. The louder the noise, the better. Do a good job of attracting the Japanese troops in Changzhi!"

"Li Daben's garrison regiment suppressed the Japanese troops in Wu'an and Wuyi so that they could not reinforce the Hanchang Highway, and the other part pretended to attack the strongholds around Yongping. The offensive must be sufficient. I want the Japanese troops in Handan to be confused. The focus of the attack, do not fight fiercely with the Japanese army, the camera retreats!"

"Yes!" Li Daben stood up and said.

Everyone present raised their spirits one after another, knowing that the main event was about to come.

Then Zhou Weihan pointed to a point on the map, and continued: "This is Fengle Station, located in the south of Ci County, north of Zhanghe River, across the river from Anyang on the south bank of Zhanghe River!"

"The attack on the Ping-Han Railway was thus used as a breakthrough point. The Second Regiment cooperated with the First Artillery Battalion to serve as the vanguard to attack the surrounding strongholds. The Third Regiment waited for the Second Regiment to open the opening and directly attacked Fengle Station. The railway bridge over the Zhanghe River!"

"A regiment is blocking the enemy from Handan to reinforce the Japanese army!" Zhou Weihan paused.

"What about our fourth regiment?" Wang Yigong saw that all the regiments had combat missions, but the fourth regiment was not mentioned, and he became anxious.

"Your four regiments have another important task. Your troops march westward along the Zhang River and secretly arrive at the north of Pingshun. After the defenders of Changzhi reinforce the Hanchang Highway, wait for the opportunity to destroy the Changzhi Airport in the northeast of Changzhi's outskirts!"

"The headquarters is directly under the cavalry battalion, and the reconnaissance company, guard company, and supply battalion serve as the reserve team for this battle!"

"Everyone, are the missions clear and are there any difficulties?" Zhou Weihan asked.

"no!"

"Lao Zhou, don't worry, this time my new regiment is going to make a big noise on the Hanchang Highway! The little devil has been hanging on his head in Changzhi's plane for a long time, and I have long since disliked it!" Li Yunlong said.

Zhou Weihan straightened his face and said seriously: "Remember that this battle is first to destroy, and then to attack. What we have to do now is to expand the depth of the base area and reversely compress the living space of the Japanese army. There is more room for manoeuvre during the sweep, and even if it is exhausted, the Japanese army that sweeps will be exhausted!"

　After researching for a day, our army’s troop number is too complicated, and the map at that time was also very difficult to understand. As a result, a message was sent from the background, and two more chapters were blocked. Sad
