Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

In early November 1941.

With the completion of the expansion of the Eighth Route Army of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region in the Zhinan area, and the land reform work under the responsibility of the prefectural government gradually coming to an end, the enthusiasm of the local people to support the Eighth Route Army is increasing day by day.

Many local young and strong people asked to join the Eighth Route Army, and all the regiments outside had similar telegram reports.

It's just that Zhou Weihan ordered the regiments not to recruit recruits for the time being, considering that there were still 5000 recruits in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region that had not formed a formal establishment.

Of course, although the local young and strong did not join the main force, each village formed a militia with the help of the main force.

Like the Tainan Military Region, the main force sent combat backbones to conduct regular military training for the militia. At the same time, some veterans who were unable to fight with the main force due to injuries served as militia captains.

After more than a month, although most of the village soldiers did not have regular weapons, the implementation of the militia joint defense policy has begun to bear fruit.

At this time, with the overall situation of the land reform set, Tan Lin had already returned to the military headquarters to direct the next step.

In the command headquarters, Zhang Faming, the director of military supplies, is reporting to Zhou Weihan and Zhou Weihan on the recently seized weapons and equipment and the flow of troops.

"Chief, this is a list made by the Quartermaster Department based on what was captured!" Zhang Faming said.

Zhou Weihan took the list and looked at it carefully.

The weapons and equipment used by the Japanese army to trade Fushimi Gong Mingyi ranked first.

Three thousand Japanese-style 1000 large covers, [-] rounds of bullets, [-] Maxim heavy machine guns, [-] rounds of bullets, [-] Czech-style light machine guns, [-] rounds of bullets, and Type [-] grenades Eighty-one barrels, [-] grenades, twelve Type [-] infantry guns, [-] shells, [-] grenades, and many other auxiliary equipment such as waterproof felt cloth, marching tents, Type [-] binoculars, and engineering shovels .

It clearly indicated which equipment was given to the front-line troops, which equipment was given to the recruits who stayed behind in the base area, and which equipment entered the warehouse of the Military Supply Department.

Captures by the regiments in the ensuing series of battles followed.

The reconnaissance company and the Neihuang County Brigade seized more than [-] rifles, four light machine guns, two Type [-] grenades, [-] rounds of bullets, grenades, hand grenades, grenades, etc. Several.

The first regiment seized more than 81 [-]-caliber rifles, more than [-] [-]-caliber rifles, eight light machine guns, three Type [-] heavy machine guns, and one [-]-caliber mortar.
The third regiment seized more than [-] [-]-caliber rifles, more than [-] [-]-caliber rifles, four light machine guns, and one Type [-] heavy machine gun.
The Fourth Regiment seized more than a hundred rifles used by the Japanese and puppet troops
Most of the captured weapons and equipment are still here in the Xinyi Regiment. There are more than a thousand [-] big guns, four mountain guns, four infantry guns, twenty-six Type [-] light machine guns, eight Type [-] heavy machine guns, and various There are nearly [-] rounds of model bullets.
Zhou Weihan glanced at it. The capture of the Xinyi Regiment should not have much difference. Although the Japanese army numbered more than [-], it was not easy to capture so much usable equipment under heavy shelling.

"How about food consumption?"

"Since receiving the first batch of food in mid-January, the new regiment was transferred to the military region in March. So far, all troops in the military region have received a total of nearly 3 million catties of food!" Zhang Faming reported slowly.

"I haven't received any food in the past month! During this period, the military supply department, which relies on the development of the enemy's engineering department, purchased [-] million catties of miscellaneous grains and refined grains in various places in Hebei, Shandong and Henan!" Zhang Faming added.

Tan Lin, who was looking at the list at the side, raised his head and said, "Well, during the land reform, a lot of food was distributed from the homes of some bully landlords. Except for the distribution to the common people, the rest was left to the army. I guess it's nearly For two months, the regiments no longer have to reach out to the military region!"

Zhang Faming was originally a cadre of the local government. After Zhou Weihan arrived in Hebei, Shandong and Henan, Zhou Weihan drove the ducks into the shelves and was temporarily appointed as the director of military supplies.

Although Zhang Faming is not very capable, he possesses the conscientiousness unique to cadres in this era, he is careful in doing things, and his actions are extremely efficient.

Compared with the well-organized organizations of the Tainan Military Region, the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region can only be regarded as a grassroots team.

At present, the bases of the Eighth Route Army are short of people. Although the headquarters suddenly transferred many cadres from the Anti-Japanese University to support Hebei, Shandong and Henan, these cadres can only be regarded as grassroots cadres.

The middle and high-level cadres of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region are all brought by Zhou Weihan from the Tainan Military Region, and the political cadres in the military region are composed of part of the work team brought by Tan Lin from northern Shaanxi, which is the current military region political department.

For the rest of the military personnel, there is a telecommunications department separated from the Tainan military division, and there are several combat staff officers.

After this period of time, Zhang Faming has been recognized by Zhou Weihan and Tan Lin.

If it weren't for Zhang Faming's lack of qualifications, Zhou Weihan really wanted to be the logistics minister of a military region.

Take the Tainan Military Region Logistics Department as an example. With the development of the base area, the Logistics Department has been integrated into four systems. at the farm.

In contrast, Ding Dasuan's qualifications are not deep, but the military supply department and the farm he directly manages are supported by him alone. In addition, Ding Dasuan has been learning and progressing. He is also an old man in the New Second Regiment, and he has made remarkable achievements. .

With Zhou Weihan's support, the position of logistics minister is very stable.

Right now, the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region is still developing, and the Military Supplies Department has assumed the function of the logistics department. Therefore, the logistics minister has also been pending.

After Zhang Faming left, Tan Lin said: "Old Zhou, you really picked a good comrade to be the Chief of Military Supplies, so we can rest easy!"

Zhou Weihan laughed when he heard it, and then said: "Don't say it, we two are relieved, these group leaders treat Zhang Faming like a plague god, especially Li Yunlong!"

Before the Zhinan anti-sweeping, in order to form an independent regiment, Zhang Faming tried his best to select more than 1700 rifles of good quality from the weapons and equipment seized by the recalcitrant army, and at least half of the remaining 5000 recruits used Outdated Hanyang-made, old sleeves, the rest of the fighters use broadswords and spears.

In response to this situation, in order to raise weapons and equipment as soon as possible, the Military Supplies Department sent staff to each regiment for a short-term stay. Zhou Weihan readily agreed to this.

This time, the group leaders were completely paralyzed.

Especially Li Yunlong, the staff of the Quartermaster Department not only stared at the seized weapons preparations, but also the light and heavy machine guns that Zhou Weihan temporarily strengthened for the Xinyi Regiment were the key points.

During this period, Li Yunlong sent telegrams many times to apply for the withdrawal of personnel from the Military Supply Department of the Xinyi Regiment. Zhou Weihan was well aware of Li Yunlong's tricks and refused immediately.
