Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 720 Chapter 740 Chapter Two Surrounds the 110th Division
In the western suburbs of Shimen, the soldiers in front are still digging traffic trenches.

In the headquarters, Zhou Weihan, Wu ** and several regiment leaders took advantage of this gap to discuss how to break through Shimen's internal defense.

Suddenly, the radio station on the side beeped. After the telegraph operator copied the telegram, he stood up and said, "Commander, Yan Wangshan secret telegram!"

"Read!" Zhou Weihan said without raising his head.

"Commissioner, the level of the code book I have is not enough, I need you to translate it yourself!"

Zhou Weihan got up suddenly when he heard the words. This kind of situation is extremely rare. At present, only Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, and Zhou Weihan in the Tainan Military Region have a codebook of this level, completely to prevent little devils from deciphering it.

The monk on the side hurriedly took out the code book from the briefcase he carried with him. After Zhou Weihan finished translating, the contents of the telegram were extremely concise: Comrade Qian Aiguo called. The return troops want to encircle and suppress our army in the Shimen area, the situation is critical, and we hope to make a decision early.

Qian Aiguo is the pseudonym given by Yan Wangshan to Yong in the temple. Those who love money are brave, brave, and patriots.

All the people present looked at Zhou Weihan eagerly, waiting for the next sentence, but Zhou Weihan lit a cigarette slowly: "There is no need to fight Shimen, the little devil has already retreated. According to the marching speed of the little devil, if the 110th Division travels along the The Shide line returns, and I'm afraid we will be able to arrive at Shimen by midnight today!"

"Is the news accurate? Neither the division headquarters nor the headquarters have sent relevant telegrams. Is your source of information reliable?" Wu ** asked.

"Reliable!" Zhou Weihan only replied two words.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wu didn't intend to continue questioning, but said regretfully: "It's a pity, give us another day, and we'll break into Shimen. Although the earthwork works well, it's too time-consuming!"

"The strategic goal of forcing the Japanese army to return to aid has been achieved. There is no regret. This time it is all about accumulating experience. The next time our army comes to Shimen again, we will never return without success!" Zhou Weihan said.

"Immediately send a report to the division headquarters and the headquarters, saying that according to the reliable information from Yanwangshan, the Japanese troops from all walks of life have withdrawn, and the superiors are requested to instruct the next battle plan!"

"Yes!" replied the telegraph operator.

Zhou Weihan reckoned that his superiors would not continue to ask the offensive troops to attack Shimen, so he ordered a regiment of soldiers and some militiamen to dismantle several factories around Shimen, especially the alcohol factory, and take away all the equipment and alcohol produced.

Let's not talk about the headquarters, after the division headquarters received the telegram.

Commissar D smiled and said: "Look, I knew it. The exact situation depends on Zhou Weihan. The Southern Hebei Military District has not yet discovered the Japanese army retreating. It seems that the Japanese army did act more carefully this time, and came after us!"

"Well, I didn't expect that the unintentional act of the year would actually lead to an undercover agent of ours in the Japanese army. Our Eighth Route Army in Taihang and Southern Hebei has grown stronger, and the bravery in the temple should take three points of the credit!" The teacher joked. .

"Since the master is angry, those of us who are guests don't want to stay for a long time. We should inform the Southern Hebei Military Region to quickly eat up the enemies in the rear of the 110th Division, and then pursue them along the Shide line!"

"For the front-line troops, leave a main force, the militia, and the people to continue the soil work, confuse the Japanese army in the city, and withdraw to the base area when it gets dark, and the rest of the main force on the western front will immediately move closer to the Zhengtai line!" The division commander finally said.

After receiving the order from the division headquarters, Zhou Weihan quickly conveyed the instruction that the 22nd Regiment was responsible for taking the militia and the people to the western suburbs of Shimen, and then the Assault Regiment, the Supplementary Regiment, the 29th Regiment and the 30th Regiment of the New Tenth Brigade, together with the artillery troops, went west to Xianwengzhai joined the division headquarters, and then joined the southern troops led by Mr. Chen in the southern suburb of Shimen.

When the two armies converged, it was already close to noon, and the troops immediately headed towards the southwest mountainous area, and then the division headquartered a few commanders in a hurry and had a simple meeting.

"Although Shimen can't be defeated, our army has already taken the initiative, and the Japanese army has been mobilized by us. Right now is an opportunity to seriously injure or even annihilate the 110th Division!"

"Now our department is on the west line of Shide Road, and has gathered eight main regiments and nearly four artillery regiments. On the east line of Shide Road, there are six main regiments, artillery regiments and three main regiments of the Luxi Military Region of the Southern Hebei Military Region. There are seventeen main regiments in total, this time is a rare opportunity to gather the main force!"

"Before you came, the Southern Hebei Military Region called and defeated a brigade of the Japanese army and more than 110 puppet troops behind the [-]th Division. The local troops are chasing them, and the main force is heading north!"

"The 110th Division started its retreat from Nangong, the hinterland of southern Hebei. It will definitely pass through Ji County and then arrive at Hengshui, but it will never stay in Hengshui for a long time, and finally return to Shimen by train,"

"At the beginning of the big sweep, the Southern Hebei Military Region sent elite troops to destroy the Shide line to delay the Japanese army. After this period of fighting, the railway line has not been repaired, so the place of the fighting can be set at Motou The town is a transfer station!" The teacher said quickly, apparently already prepared.

"Why don't you express your opinion? Is it because you don't have confidence?" Commissar D laughed.

"The current strength of the 110th Division should be more than 1 people. Once gathered, it will be a hard nut to crack!" said Mrs. Chen from the Taibei Military Region.

"This is not your usual style of steel cannon!" Political Commissar D said.

Mrs. Chen was famous for his bravery in combat during the Red Army period, so he was called a small steel cannon by his comrades around him.

"The situation is not that bad. The Shide Railway was cut off. Because the Japanese army was eager for reinforcements, they would definitely get off the train and march along the railway line. In this way, the marching queue was long, which gave us an opportunity!"

"The division plan divides the troops on the western front into four groups, each carrying an artillery regiment. The two regiments of the 385th Brigade are deployed at the west end of Motou Town. The first and third regiments of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region are commanded by comrade Jing Dagang. The regiment and the supplementary regiment were commanded by Comrade Zhou Weihan, together with the new tenth brigade, these three routes of troops had assaults from the north and the south, cutting off the long march of the 110th division!"

"The same is true for the troops on the eastern front. The two regiments of the Southern Hebei Military Region are deployed at the east end of Motou Town, and the remaining four regiments, together with the three regiments of the Luxi Military Region, are divided into three groups, and they will also conduct north-south assaults!"

"Even if the 110th Division cannot be completely wiped out, it can be severely damaged. After the meeting, all ministries will act immediately, and there is not much time left for us!" the division commander finally said.

"Yes!" Zhou Weihan and the others stood up and responded.

Just when the 110th Division had just arrived in Hengshui, the Eighth Route Army in the east and west made moves at the same time. In addition to the five artillery regiments, a total of 3 main regiments participated in the battle, with a strength of up to [-].
