Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 625 Troops Supported by Headquarters

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

Regarding the results of the first phase of the battle in Southwest Shandong, Zhou Weihan has already reported to the headquarters in detail through the radio.

The chief of the headquarters was pleasantly surprised, and none of them expected the battle to end so quickly.

"Boss, we may have overestimated the enemy's strength in Southwest Shandong. The real battle ended after only one day, which is really unexpected!" the deputy chief of staff said with a smile.

The boss put his hands behind his back, looked at the map of southwestern Shandong attentively, and then said: "Yes, it's too fast, maybe we were too conservative before, maybe Zhou Weihan proposed the idea of ​​opening up a base in southwestern Shandong based on the Heze area It really works!"

"Is there any movement from the Japanese army?" the boss asked

"No, intelligence personnel from all over the country reported that the Japanese army did not move, and it seems that they did not notice it at all!"

"I feel something is wrong. Although the battle ended quickly, it is impossible for the Japanese army to know nothing about it. It stands to reason that they should have known last night that a large-scale battle took place between our army and the Japanese and puppet troops in Shangqiu in the Qinglongji area. , especially the [-]th Division, the Japanese army in Heze must send a farewell telegram before it falls!"

"The reaction of the Japanese troops everywhere is slow, and they should have taken action early this morning!" The deputy chief of staff said one after another.

"Notify the intelligence personnel to keep watching the Japanese army. Once there is a situation and report it in time, the Japanese army will never allow our army to grow in the southwestern part of Shandong. Sooner or later, it will be dispatched. It's just that the timing is not right now!"

"By the way, how about the personnel that the military regions are going to send to the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region?" the boss asked.

"Personnel from the Taiyue Military Region and Taibei Military Region have already set off this morning, and it is estimated that they will meet in Tainan in the evening. Personnel from the Southern Hebei Military Region and Western Shandong Military Region will arrive directly at the Hebei-Luyu Military Region!" said the deputy chief of staff.

"That's good. In this way, Zhou Weihan will have more troops at his disposal!" The boss nodded after hearing this.

In Zhou Weihan's "Southwest Military Division's Operational Plan Against Heze" submitted by Zhou Weihan, he also proposed that in order to implement this plan and successfully open up the base area in Southwest Shandong, relying on the strength of the Southwest Military Division and even the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region is not enough of.

The territory of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region is too large, and the three military divisions of Zhangbei, Zhinan, and Henanbei can temporarily deploy troops to support them, but they cannot be stationed for a long time.

Today, the Southwest Military Division of Shandong is planning to expand its base with great fanfare. As a result, more troops need to be formed.

If recruits are selected from the local area and a new regiment is formed, the effect will be too slow to defend the base area in Southwest Shandong.

In this way, Zhou Weihan can only reach out to the headquarters, and the head of the headquarters is also very supportive of this. Naturally, it is not appropriate to draw troops from each military region.

For this reason, the boss ordered that the main regiments and large regiments under each military region should all deploy a combat company, and at the same time, each military region should provide corresponding cadres to facilitate the formation of regiment-level troops in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region.

太岳军区之386旅下辖772团，独立团、16、17、18团，决死第三纵队下辖第七、第八、第九团。

The above eight regiments are now the main forces of the Taiyue Military Region, the old foundation carefully built by the brigade commander.

According to the order of the headquarters, the Taiyue Military Region needs to draw eight full combat companies from each regiment, and at the same time have corresponding battalion and regiment-level cadres and deputies.

The main regiment of the general military region is the system of three battalions and nine companies. The Taiyue Military Region directly lost the strength of a regiment.

After hearing this order, the brigade commander just said, hey, it's really short-handed to take others, short-mouthed to eat others, and it hurts to cut flesh with a blunt knife, and then he had no choice but to respond.

而太北军区之385旅下辖769团、13、14团，新一旅下辖1团、2团，新十旅下辖28团、29团、30团，新十一旅下辖31团、32团、33团，共计11个团。

冀南军区之新编第四旅下辖771团、10团、11团，新七旅下辖19团、20团、21团，新八旅下辖22团、23团、24团，新九旅下辖25团、26团、27团，共计12个团。

The above units are all the main forces after the reorganization of the 129th Division after June 1940.

Of course, this does not include the Desperate First Column in the Yuncheng area, the Divisional Secret Service Regiment, and the Headquarters Security Regiment.

In addition, there are the 22nd Regiment directly under the division headquarters, the 279th Regiment, 281st Regiment, and the Fifth Regiment of the Tainan Military Region directly under the Headquarters, the Teaching Third Brigade, Fourth Brigade, New Third Brigade of the Luxi Military Region, and the Civilian Army's No. 12 Brigade. The [-] regiments under the jurisdiction of the first brigade also need to deploy troops.

Calculating carefully, with the support of the five secondary military regions, the troops arriving at the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region will have 48 full combat companies, which is almost five and a half regiments of troops.

With the backbone of the battle and cadres at all levels in place, Zhou Weihan only needs to replenish some troops from the captives at that time, and it is okay to reorganize ten regiments.

The headquarters' support for the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region or Zhou Weihan himself is not insignificant.

The words are divided into two parts.

"Report, the [-]rd Regiment called back, and the Japanese troops of the [-]th Division did not move. The head of the military regiment asked whether the [-]rd Regiment would continue to stay in the Kaocheng area!" said the telegraph operator.

Zhou Weihan heard the words, but did not give a timely answer. After thinking for a while, he said: "Call back to the third regiment. The third regiment can retreat northward to Dongming territory to rest and follow up the follow-up actions."

"Yes!"

After the telegraph operator left, Zhou Weihan continued: "Continuing the topic just now, the main force of the Japanese army in Southwest Shandong has been wiped out, and the Japanese and puppet troops in the remaining counties are nothing more than household dogs!"

"Now is a good time to open up a base area. Right now the troops are insufficient. I will continue to let the new third brigade stay to fight together!"

"The main force is responsible for clearing out the remaining enemies in the counties and the traitors and landlords who have taken refuge in the little devils. Ten work teams composed of local cadres will lead the local armed forces and cooperate with the main force to build a grassroots regime. Political commissar Tan will also come with manpower later!"

"Did the Japanese and puppet troops in the county be cleaned up in one go?" Li Yunlong asked.

"Hmph, your appetite is not small, and you are not afraid of being full?"

"The current general policy is that, except for the Heze area, the rest of the area should rely on rural areas and towns, and expand towards various counties. During the entire expansion process, we must pay attention to the means!"

"Don't let go of a traitor running dog who sincerely works for the little devil, but don't hurt those squires who have no choice but to compromise under the little devil's hands!"

"We must carefully screen and listen to the opinions of the masses. In the future, Southwest Shandong will be the food and clothing depot of our Eighth Route Army, and the local people will be the root of the base!" Zhou Weihan said solemnly.

Next, what will be carried out in the southwestern region of Shandong is tantamount to fundamentally changing the regime. Some people will always be liquidated. Based on past experience, Zhou Weihan is also getting a vaccination in advance.

Starting from the army, it is necessary to prevent some things from happening.
