Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

After the 142nd Division entered Dangshan, it had been stranded here for two days. During this period, Zhou Weihan took the initiative to support a batch of food, and all the more than wounded who moved with the army were treated.

After learning that he was surrounded by Eighth Route Army troops, Liu Chunlin was as restless as if he were sitting on a brazier, and constantly sent out small troops to investigate the outside world.

"Here comes someone, cheer up!"

At a checkpoint in charge of the 1st Regiment of the 16th Brigade, the soldiers in charge saw a group of people wearing national army uniforms coming towards them from a long way away, so they all took precautions in advance.

"Stop, stop everyone, don't get close!" the leading company commander shouted loudly.

The approaching Nationalist Army knew that the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side could not let people like them pass smoothly, so the leading officer could only shout: "Brothers of the Eighth Route Army opposite, don't get me wrong, we have official business and need to pass here, please make it convenient!" "

"I'm sorry, it's not very convenient right now. I just got the news that the Japs are mobilizing troops to attack the base. In order to avoid any accidents, you'd better stay here!"

Hearing this, a trace of resentment flashed across the face of the leading national army officer, and he cursed in his heart, "You are fooling a fool, and you just got the news."

"Brother, you're too far away. I really didn't hear what you said clearly. Can I get closer by myself?"

"Damn it, this guy is pretty slippery. He must be getting close to the reconnaissance fire deployment. Keep watching, and I'll go talk to him!" After the company commander finished speaking, he picked out the fortification.

After the two people slowly approached, the national army officer took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and took the initiative to get closer: "Brother, you have worked hard in this cold weather, come and have a smoke!"

The company commander of the first regiment is a veteran of the new regiment, and he is also a master who will not let the hawk see the rabbit. How can he be dismissed with a pack of cigarettes, but his eyes are always fixed on the telescope hanging on the body of the national army officer.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army refused to let go, the National Army officer took off the telescope with a sudden thought: "Brother, this is a good thing. It is made in the United States. I got it from the quartermaster with a favor and spent a month's salary." Yes, if you like it, I will give it to you!"

"This is not good, our Eighth Route Army troops have discipline!" He said, but his hand movements were not slow and he took it directly.

Telescopes were a rare commodity not only among the Eighth Route Army troops, but also among the National Army troops. Among the Japanese army, telescopes had to be purchased at their own expense, and ordinary officers used low-end products that were four times the size.

"I know about this guy. The M3 6X30 military telescope made in the United States is a good thing!" The company commander couldn't put it down while holding the telescope.

"Hey, brother, you are quite knowledgeable. There are not many of these things in the country!" The national army officer was a little surprised and said to himself that these Tubal people are quite knowledgeable.

This telescope arrived with the weapons and equipment aided by the United States. Apart from a small amount of equipment for the assault regiment and artillery regiment, only a few senior officers in the combat troops had it. The company commander only found out after seeing Li Yunlong carrying it with him all day long. .

"I know the discipline of your Eighth Route Army, but we are friendly forces and we should support you in fighting the Japanese. This is a fair statement. What do you think?" The national army officer patted the company commander on the shoulder.

"Okay, I'll take it!"

"What about today?"

"It's not that I want to embarrass you. There are instructions from our superiors that the Japanese army will raid the base area at any time, and we are asked to be prepared at any time. If I let my guard down here, if you turn around and meet the Japs, I won't be able to explain anything. You'd better take this telescope back!" the company commander said.

"Don't mention it, there is no reason to get back what you sent out!" After the two separated, the national army officer turned around and led the people back. He guessed that the Eighth Route Army opposite was telling the truth. If he really met the little devil, , these dozen of them probably all confessed.

Liu Chunlin sent reconnaissance troops in four directions, but he had to force his way into the Eighth Route Army checkpoints. On the one hand, he wanted to test the Eighth Route Army's attitude, and on the other hand, he wanted to investigate the Eighth Route Army's troop distribution and firepower equipment in advance.

But the news they brought back was different. Some said that roads were being built in the north, some said that there were little devils in the south, and some even said that military exercises were taking place in the west.

In short, stay still and don't think about going out for the time being.

"This is outrageous. What is the Eighth Route Army trying to do? Where is Zhou Weihan? He is hiding somewhere!" Liu Chunlin slammed the table angrily.

"Teacher, please be patient. The situation is more optimistic than we expected. At least the Eighth Route Army still has room for relaxation. It's not the time to fight. At this time, a little impatience will mess up a big plan, and we will suffer a loss. Yes!" Deputy Division Commander Niu Yueting persuaded.

"When will the military seat arrive?"

"I'm afraid it's hard to say. It will have to be tomorrow at the earliest. After all, we still have to break through the Japanese blockade!"

The words are divided into two parts. Ever since Zhou Weihan met Liu Chunlin, he has been hiding and secretly mobilizing troops. The main task of the Hebei, Shandong and Yu columns is to delay the 28th Group Army's entry into Shandong. The 142nd Division can pass first, but the main follow-up force must stay.

Yu Xuezhong of the Lusu War Zone had a close relationship with the Eighth Route Army at the beginning of his management of Shandong. However, after Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, reported his work in Shandong, the positions of the main forces of the local national army and local armed forces gradually changed and began to take the lead. He adopted the stance of passive resistance to Japan and active anti-communism.

They repeatedly attacked the Eighth Route Army armed forces, plundered anti-Japanese supplies, banned local peasant associations, and hunted local cadres and people. As a result, relations between the two sides became extremely tense.

Because the commander of the 111th Army, Miao Chengliu, secretly contacted the Japanese army and signed an agreement of "division agreement, mutual non-aggression, and joint suppression of communism", Chang Enduo, commander of the th Division, finally found out, so he led his troops to surround the military headquarters.

Afterwards, Chiang Kai-shek criticized Chang Entuo for being ignorant of the general situation and acting on his own impulse. Although he was loyal to the party and patriotic, he could not help but be guilty of harming the country. He immediately canceled the designation of the 57th Army.

Since then, the Northeast Army has become more and more divided, with one part close to the Eighth Route Army, and the other part gradually centralized.

It was not until 1942 that Chang Enduo led his troops to defect to the Eighth Route Army when he was seriously ill. At this point, the relationship between the two parties broke down and the Jiazishan Anti-Recalcitrant Campaign took place.

Until the next month, Yu Xuezhong intended to lead the remaining troops to evacuate Shandong, so he took the initiative to approach the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army. The two sides agreed to use fireworks as a signal, and the Shandong Military Region troops would take over the defense area. The Northeast Army could evacuate from the Shandong base area, and the Eighth Route Army along the way Provide food supplies and send people to escort them.

At this time, Zhou Weihan had received news that the 51st Army and the 57th Army of the Northeast Army were gathering their troops.

"Commanders, the 13th, 14th, and 15th brigades have been assembled!" Chief of Staff Zhao Bingzhang reported.

"Pass my order, the 13th Brigade will advance to the junction of Caoxian County and Kaocheng, the 14th Brigade will advance to Shanxian County, and the 15th Brigade will advance to Fengxian County, and they will take up second-line defense positions in Shan and Feng County respectively!"

"In addition, send someone to inform the 142nd Division that they can leave. If they don't leave, the main force of the national army will arrive. They must keep their distance!" (End of Chapter)
