Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 310 Eighth Route Army Observation Group
1940 9 Month 4 Day.

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

More than 200 middle-level cadres of the Eighth Route Army gathered from all over the country, and their sources included the Jinchaji Military Region in the north, the Jinsui Military Region, the Southern Hebei Military Region, the Shandong base area, and the New Fourth Army base area in the south of the Yangtze River.

Most of these cadres are regiment-level cadres, regiment heads, political commissars, deputy regiment heads, deputy political commissars, chiefs of staff, and cadres in charge of logistics, production, and propaganda in some military regions and military divisions.

Originally, the boss' intention was to organize a small-scale study tour within the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region. Now that so many cadres have come, it's not that the boss specially organized people to visit and study in Zhou Weihan's independent detachment, but for another reason.

In a compound at the headquarters.

A group of people were sitting on the ground, and the deputy chief of staff was talking in front of him.

"Comrades, among you are military cadres, political cadres, butlers in charge of logistics, and those who fight the enemy with a pen. You are all elites of our Eighth Route Army, and you are all in leadership positions. Some comrades say less Also commanding thousands of soldiers!"

"There are military officers who graduated from regular military schools like Whampoa, there are high-achieving students who have returned from overseas and drank foreign ink, and there are also old Red Army soldiers from the Jinggangshan period. Said that we are all mud legs!"

"What other people say is their business, but our Eighth Route Army has always paid attention to learning, and learning while fighting is our fine tradition. This time, the headquarters called you from all over the country, and even let you separate from the front line. This is a systematic learning opportunity for everyone, I hope you will not feel burdened and emotional!"

"Now, let me introduce yourselves!" The deputy chief of staff said with a wave.

As soon as the words fell, a burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood up, first saluted the military, and then said loudly: "Hello, comrades, my name is Guo Shengli, from the Jiaodong Military Region, the Second Regiment of the Fifth Shanzong Brigade long!"

"Li Weizhong, the fifth column of the Eighth Route Army is the political commissar of the first detachment and the first brigade!"

"Zhao Wenhua, the head of the First Brigade of the New Fourth Army's Guerrilla Detachment in the Henan, Anhui and Soviet bases!"

"Liu Yefang, deputy head of the 23rd Regiment of the Jizhong Division [-]!"

"Zheng Dachu, deputy director of the Military Supplies Division of the Jinsui Third Division!"

"Liu Tianming, the head of the 22nd Regiment of the First Column!"

With a smile on his face, the deputy chief of staff listened tirelessly to everyone's introduction, while a few staff officers at the side wrote something in their notebooks from time to time.

"Okay, there are a lot of people, it doesn't matter if you can't remember, everyone is familiar with the next time!"

"Before entering the Anti-Japanese University to study, tomorrow the head of the headquarters will take everyone to visit and study the independent detachment in Tainan. Some comrades may have heard of the name of the independent detachment. !"

"Then Principal He will send someone to pick you up for a three-month study at the main school of the Anti-Japanese University!"

"By the way, the boss also asked me to tell everyone that anyone who enters the Kangda University must cherish the time and study hard. Those who fail the examinations at the end of the semester will not be able to graduate! When will you pass the exam and go back to the base area?" !"

As soon as the deputy chief of staff finished speaking, most of the people in the crowd showed embarrassment, all of them were old and rough. Although they had studied in the army for a short time, if they really talked about studying in the Anti-Japanese University,
The Eighth Route Army opened up several base areas behind enemy lines, but due to the blockade of the Japanese army, it was inconvenient to communicate with each base area.

The headquarters has several large military regions under its jurisdiction, several first-level military regions under its jurisdiction, and military sub-regions under its jurisdiction.

It seems that the organization is tight, but in fact, except for the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region that is with the headquarters, the other major military regions generally operate independently, and the lowest military division is also divided into pieces by the Japanese army.

In this way, the headquarters is on the safe side, and the military region below has its own system. The interior of the Eighth Route Army can be described as a hilltop forest.

If this is the case for a long time, it is inevitable that some comrades hold great power, their thinking will shift, and the style of warlords will breed.

In order to avoid this kind of bad phenomenon, the headquarters will regularly send some comrades to Kangda University to study, and at the same time, through systematic learning, change some of the wild ways in the past.

Together with the headquarters is the Sixth Branch of the Anti-Japanese University, also known as the Taihang Branch.

And these Eighth Route Army commanders are going to the General School of the Anti-Japanese University, which is located in Xiangshuichuan, Xingtai.

In history, senior generals of the Eighth Route Army, such as Chen Geng of the Taiyue Military Region and Chen Zaidao of the Southern Hebei Military Region, even went to Yanzhou to "study" for two years.

this afternoon.

The correspondent from the headquarters arrived at Mount Yanwang, and the deputy chief of staff asked Zhou Weihan to send a small force to Sanliyu in the northeast of She County.

When I heard that there were not only the heads of the headquarters and divisions, but also cadres from all over the country.

Zhou Weihan's head grew bigger, which reminded him of the officer observation group organized by the Japanese army. The situation was so similar.

In order to ensure the safety of the Eighth Route Army observation group, Zhou Weihan immediately sent a telegram to Xu Dali's Second Regiment stationed in the southwest of She County.

Order Xu Dali's second regiment, except for the necessary people left behind, the whole regiment is dispatched, and the boss and his party must be safely escorted to Mount Yanwang.

night.

Li Yunshan also came to report to Zhou Weihan the results of the two days in the base area.

Wuyi and Wu'an are the old bases, and the independent detachment here has a strong foundation and popular support.

Shexian County is the location of the Tainan Special Area, and it is also deeply supported by the common people.

Only Ci County, where the Fourth Regiment is located, has just driven out the recalcitrant army not long ago, and the local people are still not familiar with it.

"After this simple investigation, I found that the grass-roots regimes in Wuyi, Wu'an, and Shexian County are well established. At the same time, the joint defense based on the village soldiers has built the base area like a railway. Oil cannot be poured in, nor wind can blow in. !"

"The local fellows actively cooperated. Overall, no problems were found. Of course, the enemy's spies are hidden too deeply. In the future, we need to work harder to defend Kodo!"

"As for Ci County, relatively speaking, the problem is relatively big. It was found that there were four plainclothes soldiers sent by the Japanese army in Ci County, and one Japanese spy team. From the Central Army, it can be seen that the national government still has covetousness for our Tainan region." Li Yunshan said.

"The situation in Ci County is normal. Although the two parties have signed an agreement, Lao Jiang is very strict with us. How can there be no small actions in private, and how can it be safe? I dare to conclude that there must be military commanders and central commanders in the base area. Agents, maybe even in the army.”

"Lao Jiang made a good plan. He placed two motley troops around Lin County. Since he served as the first line of defense against our Eighth Route Army, he could use up two disobedient motley troops as cannon fodder. Pang Bingxun and Sun Dianying is probably well aware of it, but in the name of Chiang Kai-shek's orthodoxy, there is nothing he can do about it!"

Unlike Sun Dianying, Pang Bingxun was a well-known patriotic general who once joined hands with General Zhang Zizhong in a bloody battle against the Japanese Itagaki Division in Taierzhuang.

Regarding this battle, Li Zongren, the commander-in-chief of the fifth theater, wrote in his memoirs: "The enemy army has repeatedly charged and killed for several days, and the casualties are numerous. There were no less than dozens of people, and no one would have imagined that the best "imperial army" would be defeated by the little-known "no-name" troops in China. There was a lot of rumors at home and abroad, and there was a lot of excitement."

It was such a patriotic general who was forced by Lao Jiang to surrender to the Japanese army.
