Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

This is not a peaceful time. If a commander is slightly injured, he can only work despite his injuries. If he is seriously injured and unable to work, then let others take over. After recovering from the injury and returning to the army, the army will rearrange its work according to the situation.

The new group is in a special situation this time. The army is short of political cadres, and Luo Yuanfan, the director of the political department, can temporarily work on behalf of the political commissar, so there is no one to fill the position of political commissar Cheng. By the time the new group arrived, Commissar Cheng's injuries were more than half healed, and there was no need to arrange for others. Only then did the two men recover from their injuries and continue to hold their original positions.

Originally, the veterans in the regiment were prepared not to see the political commissar and deputy commander, but they did not expect that after a few months, they would still come back. This is really a great event, and many people were so excited that they didn't sleep well at night.

But I'm just happy about this night.

They never imagined that the situation would take a turn for the worse next.

December 8, Wangjiazhuang, temporary headquarters of the new regiment.

The only radio station kept making sounds, and it had been working for two days straight. Two telegraph operators worked in shifts, constantly organizing and recording the information from the brigade headquarters on paper, and then sent it to the conference room of the regiment headquarters.

"Old Li, we are here." The door of the conference room was pushed open with great force, and Hu Sheng and Luo Yuanfan walked in one after another. Their eyes swept across the entire conference room, looking at everyone present.

The chief and deputy regiment commander, political commissar, director of the political department, chief of staff...except for the third battalion commander who was injured and did not arrive, all senior commanders of the new regiment were present. Since the Battle of Yunchu, the meeting room of the New Regiment has not been so crowded.

"Political Commissar, Deputy Commander Wei, you are also here."

Li Yunlong was still staring at the map on the wall. Cheng Yuechang looked up from a pile of information on his side and said, "You're here. Sit down quickly. I'll explain the current situation to you."

Luo Yuanfan closed the door of the conference room, and the two quickly took their seats and spread out the notebooks they carried with them, preparing to record the contents of the meeting. They had received the news and rushed from Zhangzhuang. They couldn't even get enough water to drink, and they didn't know the current situation.

"What's the situation in the Second Battalion now?" the political commissar asked before telling the story.

Hu Sheng also serves as the commander of the second battalion. This question is naturally his answer: "According to the orders of the regiment commander and political commissar, the second battalion of the New First Regiment has been put on alert, especially to guard against the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army in Qinqin County. When we arrived, The Fourth Company has built a hidden position near the station, and has also deployed additional light and dark sentries and patrols to the southwest. No matter who is attacked, the Second Battalion will immediately rely on the fortifications to launch a defensive counterattack!"

"Political commissar, is it from the Jinsui Army..." After reporting the situation, Hu Sheng asked softly. This series of orders already allowed him to guess part of the situation.

"Well, that's right, Yan Laoxi has started to stab the knife." Cheng Yue sighed and pointed at the map: "Let's talk about it one by one. Now there is a mess in all directions. I have to figure it out with you from the beginning."

"First of all, have you all heard about the national government's big offensive? They want to defeat the Japanese Eleventh Army. They will attack the fifth and ninth theaters as the main attack, and the other theaters will provide support, with the intention of recapturing the three towns of Wuhan." Cheng Yue looked at a picture. Pointed out on the smaller national map.

Hu Sheng and Luo Yuanfan nodded repeatedly. The winter offensive of 1939 was not only known to later generations, but also to people at the time. The government's ability to keep secrets is as trustworthy as ever to its opponents. News of the major attack was obtained by the Japanese in November, and people took precautions a month in advance. It's the same on the Eighth Road side. It's hard to figure it out. "On December 1, Yan Laoxi, as the commander of the Second War Zone, ordered the second column of the decisive battle to march to the Tongpu line, and mobilized the troops of the three armies to accompany it. At the same time, the Japanese army also mobilized the original garrison in Lafen area, and some More than 5,000 mobile troops were gathered and stationed near Hanxinling in Xi County."

Cheng Yuechang pointed to several locations on the map. Hu Sheng and Luo Yuanfan were both experts, and their expressions changed at just one glance.

Hu Sheng sneered: "Oh, what a march to the Tongpu line. Isn't this a clear attack from two sides?"

"Yes, the comrades of the second column also saw it and refused to carry out the order. Then the Shanxi-Sui Army declared the second column a 'rebel' and surrounded the second column and the Shanxi West Detachment of the 115th Division with the strength of three armies. Third When the signal was announced, the 19th Army and the 61st Army of the Jinsui Army surrounded and disarmed the 196th Brigade Headquarters near Yonghe. The anti-Japanese regimes and groups in Daning, Yonghe, and Xi County were all destroyed by the Jinsui Army. "

"On the 61th, Sun Chu's plainclothes team destroyed the Xinsheng Newspaper of the Yangcheng Sacrifice League and buried the editor alive. Yesterday, the anti-Japanese regimes and groups in Linfen, Hongdong, and Zhaocheng were all destroyed by the Jinsui Army. Especially The 108th Brigade of the 115st Army of the Jinsui Army attacked the th Division Wounded Soldiers Hospital in Shangzhuang, Xi County, killing more than sick and wounded people! "

"According to current information, they have killed more than 1,000 anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, cadres of the Sacrifice League, and our army's sick and wounded in six counties."

The expression management of Hu Sheng and the two men was completely out of control. If these comrades died at the hands of the Japanese, there would be nothing to say. But now he actually lost his life in the hands of the stubborn army...

"Except for western Shanxi, other directions are also unstable. In November, Comrade Fan Zixia left the government, renamed the Pinghan Column, and moved to Zanhuang. On the 23rd, Yu Heng caused the Cejing Massacre and fought with the Japanese On the 28th, Hou Ruyong cooperated with the Japanese and dispatched more than 700 enemies from Zanhuang, Gaoyi and Lincheng, armed with four guns and one aircraft, to invade Zanhuang in four directions. No. Zhang Shiru, the magistrate of Gaoyi County, was killed."

"In addition, Shi Yousan attacked the Jinan base area on the 34th; on the 5th, the 16th Group Army invaded 97 counties and districts in the border area; on the th, Zhu's th Army invaded Xingtai and the west of Neiqiu, intending to attack the headquarters. Division Headquarters The Second Regiment of the Youth Column and the First Regiment of the Eastward Column have been sent from Jinan to Neiqiu to participate in the anti-rebellion battle. "

Bang!
Hu Sheng slapped the table. He couldn't help it anymore. The other party dared to attack the border area and the headquarters: "Only two regiments? Where is the secret service group? In this case, you should slap them back!"

Luo Yuanfan grabbed Hu Sheng, and Cheng Yuezhang patted Hu Sheng on the shoulder: "Listen to me, I just introduced the situation of the stubborn army."

Hu Sheng shook his head and forced himself to calm down: "Political Commissar, please continue."

"In addition to the actions of the stubborn troops, there were also many actions by the Japanese. They fully cooperated with Yan Laoxi's plan and launched raids on our base areas. At the same time, they launched feint attacks to contain the friendly forces who were determined to resist Japan. On the 3rd, there were more than 10,000 The Japanese invaded Zhongtiao Mountain in three groups, so Wei Junru's troops were unable to spare any troops. "

"In addition, as early as the 20th of last month, the Japanese mobilized troops to attack the border area, and a fierce battle broke out at Qikou. On the 27th, more than 70 aircraft attacked Jingyuan, Tai'an, Lanzhou, Henan, Shaanxi and other places at night. An all-night alert is issued in Gansu Province..."

After the political commissar finished speaking, he sighed: "The current situation is like this. The left and right are trapped and the troops are insufficient. So many troubles can only be solved one by one. There is no rush." ​​(End of Chapter)
