Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

The march of the large troops of the Eighth Route Army also made the national army troops in front aware of it. After the two sides sent people to confirm their identities, the chiefs of the two troops met soon.

It was dark, and neither of the two parties had lit torches. Zhou Weihan squinted his eyes and looked at the person coming from the opposite side.

"Detachment Captain, the other side is still a high-ranking official," Jing Dagang whispered in his ear.

"Don't talk!" Zhou Weihan looked familiar as the person was getting closer and closer.

The person on the opposite side greeted first: "Zhou **, Shu Rong, commander of the 89th Division of the [-]th Army, we met this afternoon!"

After this reminder, Zhou Weihan finally realized that the person who came was one of the three who had been sitting in Zhang Xuezhong to attack.

"It turned out to be Mr. Shu, what a coincidence, I didn't expect that after a long time, we would meet again in the wilderness!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile on his face.

"It's a coincidence!" Shu Rong responded stiffly.

Because of the dispute in the afternoon, the atmosphere between the two sides was a little cold for a while, Zhou Weihan took the initiative to go forward and said: "Mr. Shu, your department is going to Changzhi for reinforcements?"

"Our army and the Thirteenth Army belong to the Central Army, and all the soldiers are also Chinese. Naturally, we won't let our compatriots fight the little devils and let them go!" Shu Rong's face was stern.

Zhou Weihan really sighed in his heart, who said that there are no generals in the Central Army who understand the general situation and take care of the overall situation.

"Your army came to Changzhi for the first time. They are newcomers and are not familiar with the terrain. We happen to have a small unit investigating the situation of the Japanese army in the suburbs of Changzhi. Why don't we march together, so we can take care of you!" Zhou Weihan offered to show his kindness.

"Thank you!"

Shu Rong graduated from the third phase of Whampoa, the old man's direct descendant, otherwise he would not have served as the commander of the 89th Division.

In the Battle of Lingchuan, under his command, the 89th Division fought the most bravely and stopped the Japanese army desperately.

After the Thirteenth Army's military headquarters ended their negotiations, Shu Rong returned from the military headquarters, immediately reported many situations to the attendant's room, and then was ordered to lead his troops away from the main force.

The 89th Division currently has more than [-] combatable soldiers, and it also carries twelve mountain cannons.

At dawn that day, the troops of the Eighth Route Army, followed by the 89th Division, arrived at Sifangzhuang, a southeastern suburb of Changzhi.

In the headquarters, Zhou Weihan invited Shu Rong over, and Dong Jiangzheng, the reconnaissance company commander, reported the current situation in Changzhi one by one.

"After the Japanese army broke through the city yesterday, they have been fighting with the defending troops. The two sides did not cease fire until midnight. Since the investigating soldiers could only observe outside the city, the specific situation inside the city is unclear. The Japanese army had a temporary camp outside the city. In the camp, wounded soldiers were constantly being sent out of the city, which shows that the battle was quite fierce!" Dong Jiang said.

"However, the heavy artillery of the Japanese army seemed to be misfired. At night, the sound of heavy artillery shelling was not heard, and the air support was not in place!"

"In addition, in addition to the two directions of the west and north as the active direction, outside the east city, the Japanese army has four small units distributed in various places to undertake security tasks!"

After listening to Dong Jiang's report, Zhou Weihan immediately said: "You just said that the little devil has a lot of wounded soldiers. Do the little devils outside the city have a field hospital?"

"no!"

...

"Hmph! It's fine if you don't have one!" Zhou Weihan snorted coldly: "You little devil's wounded soldiers will definitely be sent to Lucheng. Your reconnaissance company has never had a combat mission! Now you can let go of your hands and feet and do the little devil's hand!"

"Yes!" Dong Jiang was shocked immediately after hearing this. The reconnaissance company had been avoiding getting involved in the battle before, and it was following the Japanese reinforcements from Changzhi. After the battle between the national army and the Japanese army began, Dong Jiang immediately ordered the reconnaissance company out of the battlefield.

After Dong Jiang left, Xing Zhiguo handed over a stack of telegrams to Zhou Weihan, including those from the 18th Army, the Tainan Division [-], the Secret Service Regiment, and the [-]th Regiment of the Taiyue Military Region.

Shu Rong, who was sitting upright by the side, had some wrinkles in his general's uniform, but his body was straight and his beard was unshaven, and he had the air of an iron-blooded general.

With a smile on his face, Zhou Weihan passed the telegram from the Thirteenth Army: "Mr. Shu, Changzhi is in critical condition, and the Twenty-seventh Army is at stake. You and I still need to cooperate sincerely!"

This joint operation is no different from the joint operation within the Eighth Route Army, in which many bargaining chips have to be placed on the surface to determine the issue of command authority.

"Our Eighth Route Army has a total of three armies. Two regiments on the one route arrived at the west of Changzhi at Starry Night, at the junction of Lucheng and Changzhi. The other three regiments are currently located in the Dongyangguan area. They can attack Licheng at any time. Once the battle starts, they can contain Licheng. Japanese army, cut off the Japanese army's retreat at the same time!"

"The rest of the road was led by me personally. In the southeast of Changzhi, there are three main regiments of our Tainan Military Region, in the east there is one regiment of our main force, and there is another one of the New Fifth Army. In the northeast, there are two regiments of the [-]th Division of our Tainan Military Region. A group!"

"After all, there are twelve regiments that I can command, plus your army and the forty-seventh army south of Changzhi. The Japanese army is now surrounded by both of us!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.

Zhou Weihan deliberately did not mention the exact number of regiments, Shu Rong was shocked when he heard that, he had heard of Zhou Weihan's name long ago, and his troops were also very capable of fighting, which was quite different from the general Eighth Route Army troops.

Of course Zhou Weihan understood Shu Rong's words, but he saw Shu Rong say: "Before coming, the attendant ordered to grant the right to be in charge of the 358th Army and the 89th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. Our [-]th Division still has [-] athletes who can compete with the Japanese army." war!"

"Damn it, isn't this nonsense!" Zhou Weihan cursed inwardly, Fan Hanjie is still alive, and this will create two command systems again, isn't it nonsense.

"Of course, the principal mentioned in the telegram that he should listen to Mrs. Zhou's advice more. Only Mrs. Zhou's command can make me admire. I am willing to obey Mrs. Zhou's command!"

Zhou Weihan was very surprised by what Shu Rong said. The two had the same military rank, but the 89th Division was a direct descendant of the Central Army.

Zhou Weihan saw that there was no resistance when Shu Rong spoke. He immediately stood up and stretched out his right hand: "Mr. Shu, you and I are working together, and the Japanese army that wiped out Changzhi is now!"

The 89th Division joined suddenly, so Zhou Weihan's previous battle plan had to be changed, and then the two discussed the specific battle plan.

After Shu Rong left, Xing Zhiguo said with a smile: "Old Zhou, your command power is getting bigger and bigger. Now even the Central Army has to obey your command. Even the boss doesn't have this treatment!"

When Zhou Weihan heard this, he smiled and waved his hands: "Old Xing, don't overestimate me, I'm afraid I'll be easily proud, just get addicted to being the commander-in-chief!"

Immediately, his face straightened: "Immediately, in the name of what I said before, I will send power to the Secret Service Group and the 18th Regiment, so that they can quickly advance along the Baishan-Shanxi Railway. Be sure to make a big noise!"
