Chapter 133 Solving the brigade commanders problem
The third day when Chu Yunfei came to the New Second Regiment.
Zhou Weihan and Zhou Weihan were sitting cross-legged on the Kang, with a map spread on the table.
"Brother Zhou, you see, the Ducun stronghold built by the little devil is located at the junction of your army and our army, cutting off the connection between us. This time, your Eighth Route Army came and used a battalion to attract the enemy's attention.
, we just passed through the enemy's blockade." Chu Yunfei pointed to an area on the map and said.
"If we can take down the enemy's Ducun stronghold, our territories will be connected together and our relationship will be even closer." After Chu Yunfei finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Weihan.
Zhou Weihan hadn't guessed Chu Yunfei's little thoughts yet, but what he said made sense, and the Ducun stronghold inserted a wedge into the joint between the two sides.
But the existence of the little devil actually has another effect, which is to isolate the contact between the two parties, making it difficult to cause friction.
"Brother Chu, if that's the case, you have many more brave soldiers and better weapons and equipment than our Eighth Route Army. Why don't you get rid of this serious enemy?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"Oh, it's hard to explain in one sentence. Commander Yan has repeatedly issued orders not to allow troops from all over the country to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army!" Chu Yunfei said angrily as he slapped the table.
"Hey!" Zhou Weihan didn't say anything but just laughed. The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward for a while.
"Brother Zhou, no matter what other people in the Jinsui Army think, at least I, Mr. Chu, am sincerely resisting the Japanese. If the territories of both sides can really be connected together, and your army is really in trouble in the future, I, the 358th Regiment, will certainly not hesitate to lend a helping hand."
"Brother Chu, your reason is not sufficient. At least it has not convinced me to send troops yet."
"Haha, Brother Zhou, you are too shrewd. Let me tell you the truth. My first battalion is isolated because of the Ducun stronghold and cannot have smooth contact with the regiment. Our Jinsui Army is different from your Eighth Route Army. Time
After a long time, it is inevitable that a battalion will become its own system. This is a taboo among military strategists. Do you think I can bear it?" Chu Yunfei said truthfully.
"Brother Chu, your 358th regiment is very wealthy. I heard that your first battalion only has 2,000 men. Since you asked me to take action this time, don't you think it's cool? I'm doing part-time work for the landlord, and I have to take care of the food."
?Our New Second Regiment can’t work in vain!” Zhou Weihan said while wiggling his fingers.
"Haha, it's easy to say, you make a price!" Chu Yunfei generously asked Zhou Weihan to make a price.
Zhou Weihan stared at Chu Yunfei, thinking in his mind that the 358 Tuan Family has a great career, so the price cannot be lowered.
Zhou Weihan, the stronghold of Du Village, knew that the main traffic road at the junction of Anze County and Changzi County was to go north to Tunliu, to the west to Anze, and to the east to Changzi.
This traffic artery is not a highway, but a dirt road in the countryside. Zhou Weihan, the defender of the stronghold, is not very clear about it, so he doesn't think he knows much about it.
Then he said: "Three light machine guns, five thousand rounds of ammunition."
"Okay, it's settled." Chu Yunfei slapped the table and agreed happily.
Zhou Weihan saw Chu Yunfei happily agreeing, and thought to himself, he must have underestimated the wealth of the 358th Regiment!
"Okay, okay, I haven't finished yet, add 10,000 rounds of rifle ammunition."
"No problem. As soon as your new second regiment takes over the Ducun stronghold, the weapons and equipment will be delivered immediately."
In Chu Yunfei's opinion, these equipments are really not worth mentioning compared with opening up the connection with the first battalion.
"I have already studied the defenders inside the Ducun stronghold. There is a gun tower with three bunkers around it. There are seven little Japs in the gun tower and a Type 92 heavy machine gun. The three bunkers are all puppet troops, each with one
The total number of light machine guns and puppet troops is about 60." Chu Yunfei talked eloquently.
Zhou Weihan frowned after hearing this. It was not worth sending out a large force, and a small force couldn't take it down.
"So, is there a problem? If you really can't take it down, forget it. After all, what your Eighth Route Army is good at is guerrilla warfare. This kind of offensive warfare doesn't have heavy weapons, but it's tough." Chu Yunfei started to say sarcastic words in his ear.
Zhou Weihan's decision to attack the Ducun stronghold was not Chu Yunfei's decision in a few words, but the order given by the brigade commander before that.
Since the Jinsui Army is here to visit and study, let's show them our skills and don't let others say we are stingy.
"Brother Chu, please be patient. I still need to ask the brigade headquarters for instructions on this matter," Zhou Weihan said.
At the brigade headquarters, the brigade commander was still receiving the observation group of the Jinsui Army. Political Commissar Wang, who was handling official business, received the telegram from the New Second Regiment handed over by the telegraph operator.
"Staff Wang, where is the brigade commander today?" Political Commissar Wang asked after reading the telegram.
"Reporting to the political commissar, the brigade commander should be currently leading an observation group from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to conduct an inspection in the defense area of the 772nd Regiment." reported the confidential staff report of the brigade headquarters.
772 Regiment Headquarters.
"Hello, is this the 772nd Group?" Political Commissar Wang's voice came from the phone.
"Political commissar, it's the 772nd regiment!" the regiment leader Cheng Xiazi said.
"Cheng Shifa, is the brigade commander at your place?"
"The political commissar, brigade commander and people from the Jinsui Army are in the conference room of the regiment headquarters." Cheng Xiazi reported in a low voice.
"That's good. You can report it to the brigade commander..." Political Commissar Wang explained the battle plan reported by Zhou Weihan.
At this time, in the conference room, the brigade commander looked at these pampered military officers and felt a headache. He had not done any serious work these days and actually took them around like this.
Along the way, we walked and stopped, just like touring the mountains and rivers. We couldn't talk or scold. The brigade commander thought about coaxing these people away quickly.
Most of the members of the Jinsui Army's officer observation group are staff officers of the headquarters of the Eighth Group Army of the Jinsui Army. The leader is a major general counselor, and there are only a few regiment-level officers in the combat units below.
The brigade commander thought that if he didn't show his hands, these officials would not leave. Who knew that Zhou Weihan would come to his door at this time.
"Everyone, our troops will take out the Japanese stronghold of Ducun in two days. I wonder if you are interested in observing this battle?" the brigade commander asked with a smile.
Everyone who had been whispering to each other just now fell silent.
"Ducun stronghold? Is it the Ducun stronghold we passed by when we came to the base area?" the leading major general counselor said.
"Yes, this Du Village stronghold is exactly our target!"
"Commander Chen, I'm sorry to say this bluntly, but although there are not many defenders at Ducun stronghold, the fortifications are very well built. When we came here, we were covered by a battalion. Your Eighth Route Army lacks heavy weapons, how can you defeat this tough nut?"
The major staff officer present questioned.
"Haha, you don't have to worry about it. Since our Eighth Route Army proposed this operation, we have the confidence to pull it out."
"This operation is carried out by the New Second Regiment of our 386th Brigade. Since we are here to visit and study, our Eighth Route Army cannot hide it. You can come with me to watch the battle!" the brigade commander said with confidence.
"The new second regiment? It should be the new second regiment that Chu Yunfei went to!"
"I guess he was the one who instigated it. This guy is quite clever. If we can really take down the Ducun stronghold, then our communication with the Eighth Route Army will be much better."
"I don't think it's a good thing. Without the buffer of little devils, if the forces of both sides are fighting hand to hand, what might happen?"
A group of officers from the Jinsui Army were discussing in low voices.
Zhou Weihan had solved the brigade commander's big problem this time. The two of them had the same idea, and both wanted to send the man away quickly.
New Second Regiment Headquarters.
Zhou Weihan received a reply from the brigade headquarters. The telegram specifically stated that the brigade commander would come to watch the battle together with the officers' observation group.
Zhou Weihan was in trouble for a while, and something happened when he established a stronghold. Fortunately, the Yamamoto special agent team was killed, otherwise...
