Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 357 The Red Cossacks from Southern Hebei

Xingtai Nangong County, the garrison of the Southern Hebei Military Region.

The cavalry regiment of the Tainan Military Region was short of personnel, so Zhou Weihan Siji could only ask for someone from the Southern Hebei Military Region, but he did not reply for three days.

Therefore, another telegram was sent to the Southern Hebei Military Region.

In the headquarters, Commander Chen, Political Commissar Song, and Director Yang, Zhou Weihan's teacher, these three are the top political and military leaders in the southern Hebei base area.

"Look, what is written in this telegram is that the Southern Hebei Military Region is the Big Brother, and the Tainan Cavalry Regiment has just been established and needs the support of the Big Brother!" The expression on the face is a bit dumbfounding.

Zhou Weihan wrote in the telegram: The Tainan Military Region has just been established, and the subordinate regiments have suffered heavy losses and their combat effectiveness is weak.Surrounded by powerful enemies, Tainan, as the gateway to the east and south of the Taihang base, feels powerless.

Political commissar Zhao Gangsi and the powerful enemies around him often tasted bad food, couldn't sleep at night, tossed and turned, and his gray hair gradually grew.

I advise it.

Zhao replied: I am afraid of disappointing the great trust of the organization, so I am conscientious and do my best to practice the revolutionary cause.

The cavalry regiment has just been formed and urgently needs to be replenished. The southern Hebei cavalry regiment is the eldest brother of the Eighth Route Army, with rich combat experience and many backbones. I wonder if the eldest brother can dispatch a cavalry company to Tainan to support the military construction of the Tainan Military Region. Up and down must be grateful.

It can be said that Zhou Weihan poured out all his sufferings in the telegrams, but his writing skills were limited and he couldn't write any gorgeous rhetoric.

Zhao Gang's writing was good, but Zhou Weihan didn't dare to let Zhao Gang know.

The three political commissars of the Song Dynasty looked at each other, only to see the political commissar Song asking: "This Tainan military region is so difficult, it shouldn't be, with the main force of the independent detachment supporting the situation, the situation in Tainan can't be resolved? Is it true? Were there too many casualties during the Hundred Regiments Battle?"

"Nonsense, don't listen to Zhou Weihan fooling around here. At the beginning of September, I went to Tainan to visit and study on behalf of our Southern Hebei Military Region. He lived a good life in his childhood. His life was richer than that of a landlord. Rice, white noodles, all kinds of vegetables are supplied, and eggs can be eaten every day, besides the sick ones, have you ever seen which unit of our Eighth Route Army can live such a life?" Commander Chen shook his head and said.

"However, if you're talking about casualties, during the military parade I saw that one or two troops were casualties!" Commander Chen suddenly remembered the hundreds of comrades rescued by Zhou Weihan to the Jinan base.

"Is it to be given or not? The independent detachment helped a lot in southern Hebei. This is the first time he has spoken. Lao Yang, what do you say?" Political commissar Song continued to ask.

"How can I say this? Zhou Weihan is my student. As a teacher, I can't take care of the affairs of the army. However, they are all brother troops. No matter how big the fire is, the meat will rot in the same pot. Today we support a For the cavalry company, if Zhou Weihan trades with the Japanese army in the future, he can rescue a group of cadres, and it will not be a loss to share some with us at that time!" Director Yang of the Southern Hebei Administrative Region said.

After all, Director Yang was targeting Zhou Weihan, a student, and he pointed to the key point in one sentence, and both Chen and Song were moved by the persuasion.

"That's right, then it's settled. I'll tell Commander Zeng that the cavalry regiment will select a capable company to support the Tainan Military Region!" Commander Chen finally said.

The next thing was that Commander Chen personally negotiated with the head of the cavalry regiment Zeng.

The cavalry regiment is the treasure of the Southern Hebei Military Region. The head of the regiment Zeng and the political commissar Kuang are also veteran revolutionaries for many years. After learning about this matter, they hesitated for a while and agreed to it.

However, the supporting cavalry company had to leave the horses and equipment, and had to go to the Tainan Military Region with personnel.

On the same day, Zhou Weihan received a call back from the Southern Hebei Military Region. The telegram explained the matter and asked the Tainan Military Region to send someone to respond on the Pinghan Line tomorrow.

The next day, Zhu Dashan of the cavalry regiment personally led people to the Mazhuang stronghold on the Pinghan line to meet them.

The Mazhuang stronghold is a stronghold operated by the independent detachment for a long time, and many of the puppet troops in the stronghold are comrades placed by the enemy's engineering department.

When the law and order around Handan had not yet been restored, more than a hundred cavalry companies from southern Hebei quickly crossed the blockade and joined Zhu Dashan and others.

As soon as the two sides met, the difference in dress was obvious.

The cavalry comrades from the south of Hebei wear steel helmets, the whole helmets are wrapped in gray cloth, and the word "Balu" is written on the side.

Zhu Dashan and the others wore military caps, and in addition to normal military uniforms, all vital parts of their bodies were covered with leather armor.

Zhu Dashan didn't have any ink marks, and directly asked the soldiers to let out the extra horses they brought with them.

Everyone went up one after another, and through a simple action of getting on the horse, Zhu Dashan thought to himself that he had found a treasure, and the other party, who was a hundred or so people, knew how to do it.

"Drive!" A group of people drove their horses and galloped along the Hanchang Highway.

The comrades of the Southern Hebei Cavalry Regiment clicked their tongues in secret. Even in Nangong County, the base area of ​​Southern Hebei, the cavalry regiment was galloping on the country roads at most. When had they been so arrogant on the road guarded by little devils?

When approaching the Dongxiaozhuang stronghold at the junction of the suburbs of Handan and Wu'an, the defenders in the stronghold even used the searchlights on the gun towers to illuminate the road ahead.

Then the group turned north and marched from Wu'an to Wuyi. The strongholds they passed along the way all followed the example of the defenders of Dongxiaozhuang stronghold.

"Company commander, why are the enemies in Tainan different from ours in southern Jinan? Why do they seem to be our own people!" a soldier asked.

The company commander of the cavalry company that came to support this time was named Han Mengzi, and Han Mengzi said, "Have you heard of the name of the independent detachment? , look at the oriental horses in this water, they are much better than the Central Plains horses we rode before!"

When the group arrived at Yanwang Mountain, Zhu Dashan asked the soldiers to take the rest to the camp of the cavalry regiment, and he took Han Mengzi to find Zhou Weihan.

In the headquarters, Zhou Weihan waited all night.

"Report to the detachment leader, the comrades from southern Hebei have made arrangements, this is Company Commander Han!"

"Reporting chief, Han Yongzheng, commander of the fourth company of the Southern Hebei Cavalry Regiment, is here to report!" Han Mengzi stood at attention and gave a military salute.

"Captain Han, thank you!" Zhou Weihan noticed the saber that Han Mengzi was carrying with him, so he asked, "Captain Han, is your saber different from the one we usually use?"

This saber is long and slender, about one finger wide, with a thin back, longer than ordinary Japanese sabers, and has a hand guard.

"Chief, this is the Cossack saber that our leader used to carry with him. He has received training from a Cossack consultant. Before leaving, the leader gave me this saber, and asked me to bring the spirit of the red Cossack to Tainan! "Han Mengzi said solemnly, his respect for the leader Zeng he was talking about could be seen in his words.
