Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 375 Blood is an alliance, blood is wine
On the morning of July 1940, 10.

The main force led by Zhou Weihan finally arrived in Pingshun after a two-day long march.

The cavalry regiment was divided into two parts. One regiment was in the middle, followed by the artillery battalion. All the soldiers who fell behind along the way were accommodated in trucks for a temporary rest.

Turn in the stronghold.

The regiment headquarters of the Fourth Regiment was stationed here. Gao Zhiheng saw Zhou Weihan coming, so he hurried over to report the battle situation.

"Detachment leader, I am staying at the regiment headquarters. Wang Yigong is currently commanding the battle at the front. The battle ahead is progressing smoothly, and the regiment headquarters is planning to move forward!" Gao Zhiheng carefully reported the battle situation ahead.

"Wait a little longer, let the soldiers rest for an hour before starting!" Zhou Weihan said.

After the [-]st Division of the Japanese Army noticed the situation in Pingshun before, the head of the division, Tian Michi Moritake, ordered that all strongholds in Pingshun were not allowed to move, and strictly guarded against the order.

Unexpectedly, the fourth regiment had the fire support of the anti-war artillery company, and the battle along the northern road in Pingshun was extremely smooth. At present, the battalions of the fourth regiment have gradually assembled to the Xinzhuang stronghold.

The next battle is to pull out the Xinzhuang stronghold, and the troops move to the back of the [-]st Division to cut off their retreat.

"How's the situation at Zhang Hao's place?" Zhou Weihan asked.

"It's been three days in Lin County, and there is no progress at all. Zhang Hao said he can complete the task, but I think it's Xuan. The supplies that were previously supported in Lin County must have been in vain!" Gao Zhiheng felt distressed. Said.

"Hey, you have to trust your comrades. The situation in Lin County is complicated after all. You have to have confidence in Zhang Hao!"

Zhou Weihan asked Zhang Hao to go to Lin County to serve as a surprise soldier. It is of course good if it works, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't.

At this time, Xing Zhiguo came over with a telegram, and then said: "In the new telegram, Li Yunlong led his troops to follow up with two infantry brigades and an artillery brigade in Weizi Town, the [-]st Division of the Japanese Army." After fighting for a whole day and night, the enemy is still firmly blocked along the Weizi Town!"

"The current situation is good. The 239th Infantry Regiment of the [-]st Division of the Japanese Army and the dissatisfied Mountain Artillery Regiment are now sticking meat on the board. They almost want to fall into our siege without knowing it!"

"However, the Fourth Regiment's battle on the Pingshun North Line cannot be hidden from the Japanese army. Now our strategic intentions may have been understood by the Japanese army. I suggest that the Fourth Regiment immediately attack the Xinzhuang stronghold. After success, it will be divided into two. Occupy the commanding heights along the Hanchang Highway in the southwest direction, cut off the Japanese army's retreat to Lucheng County, and occupy the Xinzhuang stronghold on the other road to prevent the Japanese army from retreating to Pingshun County!"

Zhou Weihan glanced at Xing Zhiguo in surprise, he did not expect that the battle plan put forward by Xing Zhiguo was so radical, originally according to Zhou Weihan's idea, it was quite conservative, and after the main force arrived, the fourth regiment was launching an attack.

"This is a dangerous move for the soldiers. The four regiments fought repeatedly. They may not be able to deal with the Japanese army eager to break through, but it is better than letting the Japanese army run away!" Xing Zhiguo continued.

Zhou Weihan understood the reason why kindness does not command soldiers, and then said: "Send a report to the fourth regiment, and launch an attack immediately after the troops are assembled!"

"The cavalry regiment and the artillery battalion head to the Xinzhuang stronghold, and a regiment will follow!"

Lin County, at the northern foot of Tianping Mountain.

With the name of the Central Army, coupled with the support of a large amount of materials allocated by the Tainan base, Zhang Hao and others have completely established a firm foothold in the western Linlu Mountain.

The title that was given to the outside world was the Tianping Mountain Guerrilla Brigade. There were more than 600 people in this department, all of whom were veterans of the national army who had been on the battlefield. After a period of recuperation, their combat effectiveness was recovered.

The Tianping Mountain guerrilla brigade suddenly rose up in Linlu Mountain. Apart from these personnel from the headquarters, many small and medium-sized anti-Japanese armed forces came to take refuge. The Sanlian Village at the southern foot of Tianping Mountain was the first to take refuge.

However, the situation in the Linlu mountain area is a little different now. Apart from Zhang Hao, a foreign force stationed in Lin County, the 280th Regiment of the Central Army has almost arrived in the Linnan area one after another.

Compared with Zhang Hao, the rout of the Central Army, the 280th Regiment is obviously the elite of the regular army, and the staffing is recognized by the Military Commission. The anti-Japanese armed forces in Lin County are more willing to move closer to the 280th Regiment.

Yang Han, the head of the 280th regiment, was of course willing to do so, but the terms he proposed were a bit harsh. The anti-Japanese armed forces who came to join the 280th regiment must unconditionally accept the reorganization of the Central Army.

As soon as this condition came out, the large and small anti-Japanese armed forces in the Linlu Mountain area immediately exploded. The days of occupying the mountain as king were too long, so how could they accept the conditions for the reorganization of the 280 regiment.

Even for the anti-Japanese armed forces that took refuge in Tianping Mountain, the condition set was that Zhang Hao would provide supplies and be under Zhang Hao's unified command during the war, but they could not be broken up and reorganized.

Now Lin Lushan is dominated by three forces. The northern Tianping Mountains are led by the guerrilla brigade and the seven anti-Japanese armed forces. The central part is led by Guo Huaiwu, the remnant of the 29th Army. It is the 280 regiment of the Central Army.

The reorganization of the 280th regiment had little effect, the anti-Japanese armed forces were unwilling to take refuge, and the stragglers were gathered in advance by Zhang Hao.

On the [-]th, Zhang Hao had another meeting with Guo Huaiwu to discuss the anti-Japanese issue. In the past few days, he had been interviewed many times, but Guo Huaiwu kept avoiding him, but this time he agreed.

"Captain, take a few more brothers with you. Although Guo Huaiwu is loyal, it's hard to guarantee that other people under his command will have different ideas. Now the future of our guerrilla brigade depends entirely on you. If you have an accident, The brothers who just got together have dispersed again!" said Fang Tianxin, the former head of the Sanlian Village and now the leader of the Fourth Squadron of the Guerrilla Brigade.

"That's right, the brothers have just had their birthday a few days ago, so you can't have anything to do, Captain!" the rest of the people said.

"I said, Brother Fang, I hope that brothers will be well, and you guys, damn it, are you here to live a peaceful life or to fight devils? Let me tell you, the good times are coming to an end, all squadrons Hurry up and train, once you reach an agreement with Guo Huaiwu this time, you will have to fight with the little devils next time, if any squadron pulls your crotch at that time, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people!" Zhang Hao has been fighting with various mountain kings for a long time. When dealing with people, it is inevitable that they will get reckless.

As soon as the voice fell, the rest of the people responded immediately.

The Tianping Mountain Guerrilla Brigade has a total of six squadrons, each with about 200 people, and the total number of the brigade has reached 1200.

The first three squadrons are composed of the headquarters to which Zhang Hao belongs, and the weapons and equipment are the best.

The No. [-] Squadron was composed of the original Sanlianzhai people, the squadron leader was Fang Tianxin, and the No. [-] and No. [-] Squadrons were formed by mixing various anti-Japanese armed forces.

Zhang Hao also understood the current situation of the brigade, and he barely relied on materials to unite all the personnel. This kind of loose union was far worse than the organization of the Eighth Route Army.

But right now is not the time to make personnel changes. Zhang Hao plans to lead his subordinates to win a few battles with the little devils, and then let the squadrons under him return to their hearts.

Longfeng Mountain, the station of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

in the hall.

Guo Huaiwu was talking to his confidants.

"Brother, Zhang Hao's guy is obviously connected with the Eighth Route Army in Tainan, maybe it's the Eighth Route Army, what are we doing in a hurry to contact them, whether it's the Central Army or the Eighth Route Army, as long as we have someone on hand, even the little devil Don't dare to touch us!" said one of the people present.

The rest of the people didn't respond, but they all looked at Guo Huaiwu.

Ever since he heard that Yang Han's 280th regiment had arrived in Linnan, Zhang Hao, who claimed to be the remnant of the 281st regiment in the north, had no apparent contact with the 280th regiment.

This could not help but make Guo Huaiwu suspicious. He was afraid that it was a conspiracy by the Central Army against Lin Lushan's anti-Japanese armed forces, so he sent someone to secretly investigate Zhang Hao and others.

Zhou Weihan successively raised a lot of supplies from Tainan to support Zhang Hao. How can the supplies that can feed thousands of people be a small amount.

The source of the materials cannot be concealed from the investigation of those who are interested. In the past few days, Guo Huaiwu has been inquiring about the origins of Zhang Hao and others, starting with the source of the materials.

However, after learning that Zhang Hao was suspected of being in the Eighth Route Army, Guo Huaiwu breathed a sigh of relief. Now the Eighth Route Army's reputation is much better than that of the Central Army.

"Staff Hu, what do you think of the alliance between the two parties?" Guo Huaiwu asked one of the people present.

At this time, he was originally a combat staff officer of the 29th Army. Later, after the defeat of the 29th Army, he got together with Guo Huaiwu.

This Staff Officer Hu looked less than [-] years old, and Guo Huaiwu probably knew what was on his mind. He coughed lightly, brought everyone's attention to him, and then said, "What Lao Wu said just now has some truth, as long as the barrel of a gun Hard, no one dares to touch us, but this is the current situation!"

"Right now in Lucheng and Pingshun in the north, the Eighth Route Army is fighting lively battles with the little devils. The new gang of little devils have no time to take care of the affairs of Lin County. The anti-Japanese armed forces in the Lushan area, including the 280th regiment of the Central Army, can't please!"

"What's the matter, when the time comes, we will still seek refuge with the little devil?" Staff Officer Hu smiled and looked at everyone present.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone said, "That's impossible. Our 29th Army fought against the little devil in the [-]th year of the Republic of China. How many brothers have died in so many years? This is the hatred of the country and the family!"

"That's right, I used to do it with the little devil at the mouth of Xifeng, and now I still do it with the little devil in Linlushan. If I want to join the little devil, why should I hide in the ravine and eat chaff and swallow vegetables? Go to the little devil to seek How nice it is to be a part-time official and have a good time!"

Seeing the excitement of the crowd present, Staff Officer Hu and Guo Huaiwu looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

"In that case, in my opinion, form an alliance with Zhang Hao, regardless of whether he is the Eighth Route Army or not, just fight the devils, what do you think! The two sides connect with each other from the south to the north. In this way, we can guard against the little devils, There is still room to defend against the Central Army!" Hu Fanyu continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Brother, just follow the advice of Staff Officer Hu, I have no objection!"

"Do it, as long as you can beat devils!"

Seeing this, Guo Huaiwu waved his hand and said directly: "Since everyone has no opinion, let's make it according to what Staff Officer Hu said, second child, you go to meet Zhang Hao, remember to follow the rules, and show the sincerity of our National Salvation Army." Come on, don't mess with me!"

"Yes!" The No. [-] figure of the National Salvation Army responded and left.

"Third, fourth, and fifth, you three, keep an eye on the people from all walks of life who have come to seek refuge during this period, and nothing can happen at this critical moment!"

"Yes!"

Apart from Guo Huaiwu, there were five people who participated in the meeting. These people all had one thing in common, that is, they were all from the 29th Army. Now all of them are the upper echelons of the National Salvation Army and Guo Huaiwu's confidantes.

Seeing the four people leave, Guo Huaiwu said to Hu Fanyu: "Old Hu, you are really good at unifying the brothers' opinions in just a few words, which saves a lot of trouble. How about this newly recruited man?" Several family members, you go to check their mouth again?"

Although the anti-Japanese armed forces mentioned by Guo Huaiwu have defected to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, their situation is similar to that of the guerrilla brigade, and they are all maintained by Guo Huaiwu's personal prestige.

noon that day.

Guo Huaiwu hosted a banquet in the lobby to entertain Zhang Hao. The two parties were in full swing, and they were obviously having a good conversation, but the matter of the alliance has not yet been decided.

At this time, Guo Huaiwu took a cold breath and whispered next to Zhang Hao: "Brother Zhang, it's hard for us to hide your identity, but the identity of the Eighth Route Army is nothing, as long as you fight devils, don't use Laozi as a weapon." !"

Zhang Hao was startled when he heard this, he didn't know if Guo Huaiwu really bombed him, or if he really found out about him, but Guo Huaiwu didn't look like a fake.

Thinking about all kinds of things, Zhang Hao took out Zhou Weihan's autographed letter from his pocket, and saw on the envelope that it said: Instructor Guo is here, and my brother Weihan has personally handwritten it.

Guo Huaiwu glanced at Zhang Hao in surprise, and the rest of the people present also stopped talking and fighting.

"It turned out to be an old acquaintance. It's not like the whole family doesn't come into the house. Lao Hu, look, this is a letter written by Zhou Weihan!" Guo Huaiwu said with a smile.

"Zhou Weihan, which Zhou Weihan?" Hu Fanyu asked suspiciously.

"Who else could it be Zhou Weihan, an old acquaintance from your Academy Corps!"

Hu Fanyu glanced at the content of the letter, and then scolded: "Damn it, this Zhou Weihan, who is doing well in Tainan, doesn't know how to contact the old brothers!"

"Hey, the Eighth Route Army has many rules!" Guo Huaiwu didn't have any complaints, and looked at Zhang Hao again: "So, the Eighth Route Army that is fighting the little devils in the north is under the command of Zhou Weihan!"

Zhang Hao didn't know what Zhou Weihan said in the letter, and he didn't know which unit of the Tainan Military Region Guo Huaiwu was talking about, so he nodded subconsciously.

"What a big momentum! Since you took the initiative to contact us, do you have any plans?" Guo Huaiwu asked.

Zhang Hao said something softly, but Guo Huaiwu turned pale with shock: "What? You guys are so brave!"

"No matter how courageous you are, you must have real skills. Our Eighth Route Army has never fought uncertain battles!"

The rest of the people were attracted by the conversation between the two, but the conversation between the two just now was too quiet, so they didn't hear it.

"Second, bring a live chicken!"

"Your Eighth Route Army has great courage, and I'm not bad, but there must be an explanation for this matter at that time. Now the matter of the alliance can be settled. When the ancient princes formed an alliance, there was a saying that blood was for alliance, and blood was for wine. , let us both come back today!" Guo Huaiwu said quite proudly.
