Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

While the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, Zhou Weihan and Li Yunlong called several battalion commanders from the Xinyi Regiment to discuss the current battlefield situation.

Thanks to the popularization of radio stations in each regiment, each regiment reports the current battle situation to Zhou Weihan every once in a while.

"The little devil has already missed the first move. The main force of the Japanese army in Anyang was killed by us. At least the initiative is in our hands tonight, but in the morning tomorrow, the Japanese army's planes at Xinxiang Airport will definitely rise to support the battlefields everywhere! "Zhou Weihan said to everyone present.

Several people present nodded after hearing this. Whenever the Eighth Route Army fought against the Japanese army, the most troublesome thing was the Japanese aircraft. With the current weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army, there was neither anti-aircraft machine gun nor anti-aircraft gun.

When Zhou Weihan led an independent detachment to shoot down the Japanese plane at Shimen Airport in southern Hebei, he was also a little devil pilot who was too arrogant and took the initiative to dive and straf the battlefield after the bombing.

In addition, Zhou Weihan deployed a large number of Maxim heavy machine guns around the battlefield in advance, so that he could shoot down the Japanese plane by chance.

"Chief, then let's take advantage of the dark to attack the little devil. The little devil will be wiped out before our first battalion has done its best!" Zhang Dabiao, the battalion commander of the new regiment, said.

"That is, our first battalion and second battalion were only responsible for the flanking battles. What's the matter?" Sun Desheng, the second battalion commander of the new first regiment, answered.

Having just experienced a big victory, the soldiers who participated in the battle were quite excited. The several battalion commanders present all shouted for the battle, all in different tones, as if they had been beaten to death.

Zhou Weihan didn't feel anything about what happened before him, but Li Yunlong felt that this group of arrogant soldiers made him fall in front of Zhou Weihan, and at the same time, they also wanted to protect his subordinates.

Immediately scolded: "It's against the sky. I just won a battle and I don't know the heights of the sky. How many of you still think about participating in the command?"

Li Yunlong's swearing was quite effective, Zhang Dabiao and others who were yelling just now shut their mouths and said nothing.

"Okay, let's talk about the business!" Zhou Weihan stretched out his hand and stopped Li Yunlong's next move.

"I'm not worried about the first regiment. The reinforcements from Anyang are enough to deal with it. Although the fourth regiment is not good at the beginning of the battle, it has already occupied a favorable terrain and is stalemate with the Japanese army. There is also a large space behind it!"

"In the future, the Zhinan area must be connected to the southwestern part of Shandong. It would be great if we could take the opportunity to wipe out the main force of the Japanese army in the Liangpu area!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.

"Then fight. Yongguji, where the third regiment is currently fighting the Japanese army, is only [-] miles away from where we are. With the marching speed of our new regiment, two hours is enough to reach the battlefield, which is a lot of time!" Li Yunlong Said proudly.

Seeing Li Yunlong's statement, Zhou Weihan also strengthened his determination to deal with the Japanese troops in the Liangpu area who were fighting with the third regiment.

Then Zhou Weihan glanced at the time, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

Immediately ordered all ministries participating in the battle to replenish ammunition, and two recruit companies escorted the wounded and captured weapons and equipment back to the base area first.

At the same time, the Tainan Military Region.

Xing Zhiguo, chief of staff of the military region, personally rushed to Lin County to command the operations. The troops of the Tainan Military Region included most of the second regiment of the second division, the supplementary regiment, Yang Han's 280th regiment, and the core regiment of Ci County.

In the afternoon, the two sides started a tentative fight. When it was dark, the front-line troops reported that the firepower of the fighting Japanese army had weakened and gradually shrunk towards the county town near the Ping-Han Railway.

Xing Zhiguo immediately noticed that the active retreat of the Japanese army was unusual. After communicating with Zhou Weihan by telegram, he immediately realized that the Japanese army left behind in Anyang and the Japanese army stationed in Tangyin and Qi counties by the [-]th Division were mobilizing troops to the east for reinforcements.

Later, in order to reduce the pressure on the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, Xing Zhiguo ordered all the ministries participating in the war to increase their attack intensity. The main force of the Second Regiment continued to advance eastward.

At the same time, the Supplementary Regiment and the 280th Regiment approached Qi County, Ji County, and Hui County to the south of Lin County, trying to hold the Japanese troops of the [-]th Division stationed around Xinxiang in place so that they could not move towards the eastern Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions. reinforce.

In the southwestern part of Shandong, Xin Tiebing, the chief of staff of a regiment who stayed in the development base in the mountainous area of ​​Luling Town, led a battalion and local armed forces to make a big battle around Heze, successfully restraining the fourth cavalry brigade who was going north. The twenty-sixth regiment of the regiment.

Before the war, Zhou Weihan and Xing Zhiguo did not meet to discuss specific combat matters, but they got along with each other for a long time, and they both had a tacit understanding.

The two led troops to entrench on both sides of the Ping-Han Railway from Anyang to Xinxiang, supporting each other, so that the Japanese army could not look after each other and was exhausted.

In addition, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army directly ordered the combat troops in the Luxi Military Region and Huxi Base Area to try their best to implicate the Japanese troops on the surrounding railway lines and not allow Japanese reinforcements to pass through.

Adjacent areas such as central China, southern Hebei, and Taiyue should also send corresponding troops to put pressure on the local Japanese army.

And the first war zone stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain also recalled that night, and unknowingly, the Eighth Route Army actually staged a huge battle in front of its eyes.

Therefore, the national army was not willing to give up this opportunity to pick up bargains in vain. The Chief of the First War Zone sent a telegram that the [-]th Army of Changzhi sent a main force to the south at night to join the New Fifth Army and the [-]th Army to attack the Japanese garrison. Jincheng.

At the same time, the armies stationed in the eastern part of Zhongtiao Mountain were divided into two groups, one went north to pinch Jincheng, and the other went east from Meng County to attack the Japanese Daoqing Railway.

Zhou Weihan, who was on the march, did not expect that the local battle caused by the trade of a Fushimi Gong Mingyi had evolved into a battle.

In the dark night, the Tainan area and the Hebei-Shandong-Henan area on both sides of the Ping-Han Railway were full of wars.

From an inconspicuous ambush with dozens of people to a desperate battle involving five or six thousand people from both sides, all forces participated.

The Eighth Route Army alone has less than [-] troops directly participating in the battle, and no less than [-] people indirectly participating in the main force of the battle and local armed forces. The battle is evolving in an uncontrollable direction.

Neiji Okamura, who was far away in Beiping, was also woken up by the adjutant, looking at the telegrams from various places, his face turned pale.

"Nani, did the Eighth Route Army organize another Hundred Regiments War?"

The adjutant did not dare to answer. Neji Okamura looked through the various telegrams, but he still couldn't figure out why the Eighth Route Army was so aggressive.

In the end, it was a farewell telegram forwarded by the Japanese army in Anyang that attracted Okamura Neiji's attention. After Okamura Neiji finished reading it, his face turned livid: "Baga, Zhou Weihan, die, die!"
