Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

"Hurry up, let's go!" The battalion commander Luo Juemin, who was in charge of leading the Ci County Baseline Regiment, hurriedly greeted the soldiers to quickly pass the Zhanghe Bridge.

After obtaining the machinery and equipment, it was Zhou Weihan's plan to withdraw to Ci County along the Zhanghe Bridge. The track of the Ping-Han Railway is a standard gauge of 1.435 meters.

Therefore, the carts prepared by the base group are also spacious frame carts, and the two wheels are just wider than the rails, but the mules and horses pulling the carts are not so convenient to move on the rails.

When the explosion sounded, the vanguard of the basic regiment had not yet passed the Zhanghe Bridge.

However, the alarm was sounded at the bridgehead stronghold, and the Japanese and puppet troops inside the stronghold were dispatched urgently and marched towards the bridge.

The two men and horses collided immediately, Luo Juemin saw the heavily armed Japanese and puppet soldiers approaching him, he couldn't help being startled, and subconsciously touched the short gun at his waist with his right hand.

"Old Luo, don't be impulsive!" The trainer on the side shouted quickly, and then walked back along the transport team, constantly comforting the soldiers.

None of the teams on both sides stopped, and they were quickly handed over together. I saw the Japanese and puppet troops passing by quickly on both sides of the transport team, as if they hadn't seen such a transport team escorting machinery and equipment at all.

Luo Juemin, who had been vigilant all the time, did not relax his tense body until the bridgehead, and then stood at the bridgehead, calling out to the soldiers: "Hurry up, retreat westward!"

It didn't take long before I heard a mess of gunshots from the south of the Zhanghe Bridge, which was also mixed with the cry of the little devil: "Give it up!"

Luo Juemin joined the trainer hanging at the back of the team, and then said: "At first, I just thought that the little devils here in Ci County were really different. They were doing business with our regiment in private. I didn't expect this little devil to be too cooperative. After all, what is the superior's relationship with us?" What's the relationship with the little devil?"

"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. You can discuss this matter, just follow orders and do things!"

The establishment of the Ci County Base Corps is too short. Compared with the entire Tainan Military Region, the battalion-level cadres are not enough to know some secrets.

Every time he traded weapons and equipment with Si Neiyong, Zhou Weihan sent Li Daben, a special person in charge, to do it.

Some veteran cadres of the main force regiment probably knew that the newly formed core regiment was only ordered by the military region to establish relations with the local Japanese and puppet troops.

The words are divided into two ends, east of Shuiye Town in Anyang.

"Report, Director Zhou sent a telegram!" The telegraph operator reported.

After Zhou Weihan read the telegram, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said immediately: "Notify all regiments participating in the battle to retreat, and don't get entangled with the Japanese army!"

"Yes!" The telegraph operator led the way.

"Detachment Captain, Shuiya Town has been occupied by our supplementary regiment, so it's too cheap to just give it back to the little devil, go!" Zhang Hao, the leader of the supplementary regiment, said.

"What? Have an idea?" Zhou Weihan glanced at Zhang Hao and said.

"Hey, I don't dare to think about it. It's just that [-] people from our regiment are nesting in Linbei, the detachment leader. Although Linbei has recovered from the little devils, the actual situation is not optimistic. The local area is mostly mountainous, and the land is barren and lacks water. If the folks in the village want to drink water, they have to carry a bucket and walk more than ten miles."

"According to the current situation, the grain harvested after next year's spring plowing will be enough for the villagers to fill their stomachs. How can there be extra grain to supply the troops!" Zhang Hao explained.

"Do the local comrades know about this?"

"I know, some time ago, I found a college student who graduated from geology, took an instrument and walked around the mountains, and finally suggested that we can divert water from a few small rivers in Linbei!"

"But the people in the villages where the river passes disagree with life and death, and even if this method is successful, it can only solve the water problem of some villages!"

Zhou Weihan nodded after hearing this: "Then what do you mean?"

"I thought that since the north of Linlin bordered Anyang, I would simply occupy Shuiya Town. Firstly, it would expand our regiment's defense depth, and secondly, it would reduce the burden on the local people!" Zhang Hao finally expressed his thoughts.

The establishment of the supplementary regiment belongs to the [-]th Division, and the food supplies are provided by the national government, at least for now.

It can be said that Zhang Hao, the head of the regiment, came as a matter of course. Most of the battalion-level cadres of the main regiments who are older than him are still in their original positions.

There is a lot of gossip in the Tainan Military Region, which is why Zhang Hao is eager to occupy Shuiya Town. Of course, thinking about the people in Linbei is also his starting point.

"Well, you, the head of the regiment, decide whether to occupy Shuiya Town or not. As for the situation in Linbei, I will communicate with the comrades of the prefectural government!" Zhou Weihan said.

"Yes!" Zhang Hao replied excitedly.

Lin Bei is an underground subordinate of Tainan, and there will be a lot of food to be handed over next year. Zhang Hao's method of distributing the supply pressure of troops to Shuiye Town will not work.

However, Zhou Weihan has the right to ask the prefectural government to appropriately reduce the food that the local people need to turn in.

The soldiers of the supplementary regiment who received the order covered each other and retreated towards Shuiya Town, and the offensive and defensive momentum was immediately reversed. The more than [-] little devils who had previously confronted the supplementary regiment on the battlefield were now stunned.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army has retreated, should we pursue it!"

The devil officer looked at the position that was almost broken by the Eighth Route Army just now, and immediately refused: "No, the Eighth Route Army is very cunning. This is a trick of the Eighth Route Army to deliberately lure us out of the trenches. Everyone reinforces the position and waits for reinforcements to arrive!"

"Hi!"

At the same time, in Anyang City.

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, the train station outside the city reported that the military column carrying the bullet production line did not arrive on time. The Japanese army investigated and reported at the nearby stronghold. After the military column passed the Zhanghe Bridge, it was attacked by the Eighth Route Army. All the escorts were missing. The defenders are all broken, and the production line of bullets has been taken away by the Eighth Route Army!" reported Adjutant Hui.

After Suzuki Sadaji heard it, he was furious: "Baga, a bunch of idiots, how could such important equipment be snatched by the Eighth Route Army under their noses!"

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, it was the Imperial Army troops in Handan who first discovered this situation. According to them, the explosion cut off the railroad track, causing the army to slow down and stop. They quickly sent reinforcements, but they were met by the Eighth Route Army. check!"

"How could it be such a coincidence? This must be a conspiracy by the Eighth Route Army to deliberately create noise around Anyang to attract the attention of the imperial army!"

"Send troops to search immediately, I don't believe that the Eighth Route Army can transport the equipment away so quickly!" Suzuki Sadaji said angrily.

"Hi!"
