Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 82 Post-War Arrangements
The next day, Zhou Weihan asked Jing Dagang to disperse the investigators, spread them within a radius of [-] miles of the mine, and asked Li Daben to connect the telephone lines.

Ma Dazui pretended to be the translator next to Hirakawa Ichiro, and took the initiative to make a phone call with Heshun County.

At noon, Jing Dagang came to report: "Regimental Commander, the investigators who came back said that there are activities of our brother troops nearby."

After thinking about it, Zhou Weihan knew that it was Yan Guoming's Fourth Independent Regiment, so he said, "Let the investigators bring them here, just to find out about Heshun's situation."

Not long after, Yan, head of the Fourth Independent Regiment, arrived with a dozen people.

"Zhou Weihan, head of the New Second Regiment of the 386 Brigade" Zhou Weihan took the lead in paying a military salute.

"Yan Guoming, head of the Independent Fourth Regiment of the Third Division of the 385 Brigade." Yan Guoming returned a military salute.

Zhou Weihan looked up and down secretly, he was still the same, wearing a black military overcoat, with leather shoes on his right foot and cloth shoes on his left.

Although the two met for the first time, there was no sense of strangeness at all. Maybe this was the natural trust between comrades.

After all, it is impossible for the little devils to dispatch thousands of people dressed as the Eighth Route Army to attack their own mines. There are only thousands of little devils in all the big and small strongholds in Heshun County.

"Captain Zhou, your new second regiment is quick enough to attack, and the little devil's mine will be taken care of." Yan Guoming said.

"Hey, I've been thinking about this place for a long time." Then Zhou Weihan talked about the Yamamoto Secret Service.

Yan Guoming broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this: "Damn it, I didn't expect that there was an elite group of little devils hiding under his nose. Fortunately, he doesn't look down on me and the Independent Fourth Regiment, otherwise he will suffer a lot."

What Yan Guoming said was right, thanks to Kazuki Yamamoto's arrogant disdain for the small troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the fact that he directly obeyed the orders of Shinozuka Yoshio, and the defenders of Heshun County ordered him not to move, otherwise the nearby Eighth Route Army would Suffered.

After Yan Guoming entered the camp, he looked at the manpower and equipment of the New Second Regiment along the way and said enviously: "Commander Zhou, your New Second Regiment is really strong and strong. I have seen seven or eight heavy machine guns along the way. There are also several mortars."

"Commander Wu of our third division has an artillery company with only four mortars and an old-fashioned mountain cannon. It's usually like a treasure. He must approve every shot."

Yan Guoming saw that he regarded the family property of the first battalion as the new second regiment, Zhou Weihan didn't bother to explain.

"Head Yan, who are you here this time?" Zhou Weihan asked knowingly.

"Hey, don't talk about it. I originally wanted to feint to attack the mine. Now that the brother troops have taken down the mine, I won't say anything. I still have a big deal. Are you interested in the new second regiment?"

"Oh? Let's hear it." Zhou Weihan already had some guesses.

"The purpose of our mining operation this time is to attract the attention of the little devils and relieve the pressure on the 386th regiment of the Jinsui Army in Taohuashan.

But since Captain Zhou and you guys are here, let's make a big deal and eat up the troops of the little devils in Peach Blossom Mountain, so that the little devils in Heshun can only linger in the county town.

Although Guo Wenzhi's character is not very good, the 386th regiment is an anti-Japanese team after all, so we can't do nothing. " Yan Guoming said.

"I passed Peach Blossom Mountain when I came here, and I was thinking about it." Zhou Weihan actually decided to take the opportunity to attack the mine because most of the little devil's troops had gathered in Peach Blossom Mountain.

"Then let's make an appointment tomorrow at [-]:[-] noon tomorrow at Xiaonantou, [-] miles west of Taohua Mountain, and I won't bother you any more. Let's say goodbye." Yan Guoming got up and was about to go out.

"Head Yan, wait a moment. This battle has captured more than 300 puppet troops. It is really inconvenient for our new second regiment to fight in different places. Why don't we ask you to deal with it?" Zhou Weihan regarded it as a favor and recruited the prisoners After battling more than a thousand people, they really couldn't eat these puppet soldiers. Most importantly, Zhou Weihan also looked down on these puppet soldiers.

Yesterday, after Jing Dagang led people to screen through the night, more than 40 puppet soldiers who had committed serious crimes were shot and killed. There were only over 300 left, and they were simply handed over to the Independent Fourth Regiment.

"Thank you so much. To tell you the truth, our regiment has lost a lot of personnel after the last raid by the little devils, and we really need to add some personnel." Yan Guoming said, holding Zhou Weihan's hand.

"Forget it, we are a brother army, and I will support you with [-] rounds of ammunition from the captured weapons and equipment." Zhou Weihan said happily.

Although Yan Guoming asked for ammunition when he came up to Guo Wenzhi from the 386th regiment, but he didn't mention a word after meeting Zhou Weihan. The battle of the first battalion yesterday basically didn't consume much ammunition, so Zhou Weihan was generous.

"Commander Zhou, this is not good, all the departments of our Eighth Route Army are not rich, how can you embarrass me?" Yan Guoming evaded.

"Isn't it just some ammunition? As long as it is to fight the little devil, I will support it. Dong Jiang, prepare the ammunition and let Captain Yan take it away." Zhou Weihan did not allow him to evade, turning his head and said to Dong Jiang who was on the side.

"Then I'll be disrespectful."

Yan Guoming left happily with ammunition and puppet prisoners.

In the afternoon, the telegraph operator came to report: "Regimental Commander, the division has called back. After communicating with Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the former cadres of the 115th Division do not need to return to the Jinchaji Military Region. They will be reorganized and joined the new second regiment on the spot."

Zhou Weihan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

The content of the reply from the division headquarters was expected by Zhou Weihan. The reason is very simple. After all, Heshun and the Jinchaji base are separated by the Zhengtai Line, which is strictly guarded by the little devils. It was difficult to build, so Zhou Weihan's new second regiment was cheap.

In the evening, Zhou Weihan held a military meeting for the first time after the reorganization.

Participants included Jing Dagang, Dong Jiang, Li Dabenshi, six company commanders from the first battalion, and six company commanders from the reserve battalion. More than a dozen people filled the room.

Zhou Weihan looked at the people in the room and nodded with satisfaction: "Our team is getting bigger and bigger."

"Regimental Commander, stop talking. I heard from the brothers in the First Battalion that we still have a lot of troops in our base area. One piece is more than a single regiment of the Central Army." Gao Yigong, the first company commander of the Reserve Battalion, said.

"That's right, Commander"

Seeing that the atmosphere of the crowd was still harmonious, Zhou Weihan finally felt relieved.

The current reserve battalion, Zhou Weihan, did not arrange political workers. Firstly, there was not enough manpower, and secondly, the incorporated companies were not familiar with the new Second Regiment, and hadn’t adjusted well. After all, they were not familiar with the discipline of the Eighth Route Army.

"Okay, let me get down to business. There will be a combat operation tomorrow." Zhou Weihan then introduced the Battle of Peach Blossom Mountain.

"I ordered the first battalion and the guard company to participate in the battle, while the independent brigade and the reserve battalion stayed behind." Zhou Weihan exploded immediately after speaking.

"Leader, our 200-odd brothers in the third company are looking forward to a good fight with the little devils. I think of these bastard sons, and I hate them so much. You can't leave us behind." Yang Xiansheng suddenly took up.

The others were talking a lot, while Gao Zhiheng and Gan Caisheng were silent, but their eyes were also smoldering.

"Okay, everyone, the head of the regiment has his own reasons for making such arrangements. Don't you understand the situation of the soldiers in our reserve battalion?" Wang Yigong stood up and said.

"Okay, the soldiers in the reserve battalion have just been rescued from the prisoner-of-war camp, their bodies are still very weak, and their weapons and equipment are not fully equipped. I don't want you to fight desperately with the little devil like this.

The most important thing right now is to take good care of your body, your body is the capital of the revolution," Zhou Weihan said loudly.

"Just do as I arranged. After the main force leaves, the remaining personnel will be under the command of Li Daben. If there are enemies near the mine, don't fight recklessly, and evacuate to the mountainous area at the junction of Heshun and Xiyang." Zhou Weihan finally instructed.
