Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 262 The Fake is Real

After Jing Dagang and Xu Dali left, Zhou Weihan, Zhao Gang and three personal guards also rushed out of the city.

"Old Zhou, is it necessary for all the local troops to put on military uniforms?" Zhao Gang said.

"Of course it is necessary. In today's war, apart from important factors such as personnel and weapons and equipment, the most important thing is intelligence information. As the old saying goes, what is false is true, and what is true is false. What we want is to confuse the Japanese army. !"

"In recent years, our Eighth Route Army has fought against the Japanese army behind enemy lines. We have won more victories than we lost, and we have gradually grown stronger. One reason that cannot be ignored is that the Japanese army is in the open and our army is in the dark. It is not easy for the Japanese army to spy on our actions, and our Eighth Route Army In the enemy's rear, every compatriot is staring at the eyes of the Japanese army!"

"Now that the Japanese army has shrunk into the city and lost its normal sources of intelligence, it can only rely on reconnaissance planes to detect our army's movements. It is too easy to hide it from the Japanese army's eyes!"

"What does it mean for a group of nearly [-] Eighth Route Army troops to go north from Handan City?" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.

"It is obvious to tell the Japanese army that Handan City has fallen, and our army's next attack target is the torture platform!" Zhao Gang replied after thinking.

"Yes, the local troops pretended to be the main force. First, let the Japanese pilots know that Handan City had fallen, and diverted their attention to this group of local troops going north. Second, it was the aforementioned soldiers who threatened the execution platform. If it is the same as the New Ninth Brigade in the north, our Eighth Route Army may have nearly [-] troops by then, and the little devil will definitely think that this is the main force to attack Handan, and the main force of our independent detachment will take the opportunity to annihilate its reinforcements."

"Old Zhou, then do you think it is possible for the New Ninth Brigade to take down the execution platform if the main force is assembled?" Zhao Gang said suddenly.

"I'm afraid it can't. I don't know the actual situation of the New Ninth Brigade, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it won't be stronger than our independent detachment, and Xingtai, as the headquarters of the 108th Division, must have stronger defense than Handan!" Zhou Weihan thought for a while and then Said.

"I said, Old Zhao, don't think that our independent detachment took down Handan so easily. You think it's easy to attack the city. Not everyone can form a commando team with a full staff, not to mention the support of artillery. !"

"Hey, I also saw that it was really rare to have so many materials seized by laying down the Handan Order, and I had unrealistic thoughts in my heart!" Zhao Gang was very happy, and said his thoughts without reservation.

Outside the city, Xing Zhiguo has organized local troops.

Seeing Zhou Weihan coming, Xing Zhiguo hurried over and said, "Old Zhou, the county brigade, district squad and militiamen attacked 3554 people!"

"The number of people is quite large, and I have checked the number of guns. There are only more than 900 in total, and many of them are singles!" Xing Zhiguo said.

"A lot, the guns captured this time will be equipped with local troops!" Zhou Weihan said.

"Old Zhou, you have spent a lot of money. The guns seized this time must be at least two thousand!" Xing Zhiguo was surprised when he heard this.

"If you want to confuse the fake with the real one, you have to pretend a bit, Lao Xing, this time you have to work hard, and personally lead the troops north to join the New Ninth Brigade!" Zhou Weihan said.

"Okay, after the confluence, what's the next step?"

"It's all about supporting the fraternal troops of the New Ninth Brigade. Cooperate with them. When you go north, you will definitely encounter Japanese planes. In order to avoid confusion during the march, I have incorporated the guard company into the local army as the backbone! "

"This operation must be done with great fanfare, so that the Japanese army can confirm that this is the main force of our Eighth Route Army!" Zhou Weihan instructed.

Zhou Weihan also had some plans to incorporate the guard company into the local army. After the war, the independent detachment would inevitably expand to at least the strength of three garrison regiments, and the soldiers of these guard companies would become the platoon leaders of the garrison regiment.

While the two were talking, the first group and the second group trotted out from the city, and the captured weapons and equipment also came out together.

Zhou Weihan stepped forward to see that they were all domestically produced rifles, and the [-] caps used by the Japanese army had obviously been replaced, and the light machine guns were also crooked.

"Detachment leader, there are more than 2200 rifles in total, each with five rounds of ammunition, 26 crooked handles, each with 120 rounds of ammunition, and 80 boxes of grenades from the arsenal!" Jing Dagang said.

Zhou Weihan nodded. The four large strongholds on the outskirts of Handan City, the train station, and the Japanese and puppet troops in Handan City also captured the same number of guns.

More than 2200 rifles, 26 crooked handles, plus neatly stacked bullet boxes and grenades.

In front of the eyes of the local troops, there are three or four soldiers in the county brigade sharing a gun. How can I see such a big scene.

Nearly [-] soldiers of the local army burst into enthusiastic cheers, each of them eager to get their weapons in their hands immediately.

Zhou Weihan didn't talk nonsense, he waved his hand and said, "Change clothes immediately!"

At the same time as the change of clothes, this reorganization was also carried out. Most of the soldiers in the local army were assigned weapons, and those who did not were assigned also had two grenades in their hands.

After the reorganization is completed, the guard company and the local troops will really reach about 4000 people.

"Comrades, going north this time will be dangerous, and the Japanese planes will play tricks on you!" Zhou Weihan said.

"Chief, this weapon was sent to us, is it for us?" A soldier among the personnel said loudly.

"Although our Eighth Route Army has main forces and local troops, in the end they are all armed by the Eighth Route Army. How can there be any reason to return the weapons sent out?" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.

"Chief, if you can get addicted to gun shooting before you die, even death is worth it!"

"I hope you will train more in the future, grow into the main force as soon as possible, and kill more devils!"

The Japanese Army's first army garrison.

Yoshio Shinozuka was listening to the adjutant's report.

"Your Excellency, the 108th Division forwarded the farewell telegram from the 104th Brigade in Handan: The Eighth Route Army only had 104 siege troops. The offensive was fierce. Many artillery pieces were deployed outside the city. A small group of elite troops fought house-to-house and street-to-street battles with the defenders in our city. Unfortunately, the defense force was weak and the Eighth Route Army was attacking fiercely. Our troops, from the commander of the fourth-floor brigade in Tomamedi, were all determined to serve His Majesty the Emperor. [-] Yours sincerely, Chief of Staff Yuzo Onodera!"

After hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka surprisingly didn't lose his temper, but waved his hand to make the adjutant retreat.

"Miyano-kun, I won't be staying in China for too long!" Yoshio Shinozuka said desolately.

Shinozuka Yoshio knew that the First Army defense area was full of gunpowder smoke, and the Eighth Route Army's offensive was overwhelming. The headquarters would definitely hold him accountable.

The best end is to return to the country and transfer to the reserve.

"Your Excellency, the failure of our first army's public security war is not because of your improper command, but because of the vast territory of China. When the troops on the front line are assembled, the current situation will definitely be changed!" said Chief of Staff Jun Miyano.

"That's right, we can't sit still and immediately urge the troops on the southern front to go north!"

　Alas, there have been a lot of things these two days, sorry
