Chapter 147 Asking the Deputy Chief of Staff for someone
In June 1940, after the last battle in Shidu Town, the New Second Regiment rested in Chenjiayu for another five days.
The New Second Regiment has been away from the base area for two months since it went north to Heshun. A few days ago, Zhao Gang sent a telegram saying that something happened to the troops in southern Hebei. Zhou Weihan really couldn't sit still. At this time, everyone was thinking about what to do.
Return to the Yamawang Mountain base.
Due to the order issued by the headquarters when leaving the New Second Regiment in the Taihang Mountain base area, Zhou Weihan went directly to the headquarters.
Headquarters.
After hearing Zhou Weihan's words, the Deputy Chief of General Staff said in surprise: "Go back in such a hurry?"
"Chief of Staff, it's not that we have any other ideas. Two companies of our New Second Regiment have been in southern Hebei for a long time as the vanguard. Our political commissar sent a telegram to tell me about some problems and asked me to go back and deal with them." Zhou Weihan was vague.
I talked about it for a while, but didn’t say what the problem was specifically.
"Since this is the case, I don't want to force others to make things difficult for me. What do you think, boss?"
"It's not sweet to be forced. The situation in southern Hebei is very complicated now. You must always understand the situation in this area. As I said last time, your new second regiment must always be prepared to march into southern Hebei!" the boss said
.
"yes"
After Zhou Weihan finished speaking, he didn't leave, but he still had some unfinished thoughts.
"What's the matter? Aren't you in a hurry to leave? Do you have anything else to do?" the deputy chief of staff asked curiously.
"Chief of Staff, haven't our New Second Regiment been doing business with the Japanese army? When we attacked Heshun some time ago, with the cooperation of the comrades from the warehouse in Heshun, we captured the city fortifications of Heshun without a single blow. I
At that time, I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of doing business with the Japanese army to openly strengthen the intelligence power of our Eighth Route Army, but we did not have the corresponding talents..." Zhou Weihan said cautiously.
"I finally understand. You are asking for people from the headquarters! But what you said makes sense. Using warehouses to develop intelligence forces can not only collect various materials, but also collect various intelligences. It turned out that I was really negligent.
I actually forgot about this great opportunity," the deputy chief of staff said half-jokingly.
In fact, it’s not that the headquarters was negligent in its work, it’s just that I didn’t expect that the New Second Group could cooperate so closely with Isamu Terauchi. With Isamu Terauchi’s connection, the business of the warehouse became bigger and bigger.
"Well, the enemy cadre training class at the headquarters is about to graduate. I will assign two students to you!"
"Chief of Staff, send me another experienced comrade! After all, I will often deal with the Japanese in the future, and I will have to contact other online comrades from time to time. If I don't have an experienced comrade, I will
I'm really worried!" Zhou Weihan said and glanced at the boss next to him.
"Zhou Weihan, you really dare to show your teeth! There are only 122 people in this training class. The intelligence offices of the eight military divisions under the Taihang Military Region are all short of people. Giving you two new regiments is already very good.
It's over!" the deputy chief of staff said distressedly.
The director of the Eighth Route Army's Forward General Intelligence Division is the deputy chief of general staff and directly accepts the leadership of the Central Intelligence Department. This is why Zhou Weihan directly requested people from the deputy chief of staff.
Most of the intelligence chiefs of each strategic military region are concurrently served by the chiefs of staff of the military regions. Only the intelligence chief of the Taiyue Military Region is concurrently served by Brigadier Chen Geng. After all, this is the brigade commander's old profession.
The organizational relations of the intelligence offices of each military division are led by the local district committee, and the operations are led by the General Intelligence Office of the Eighth Route Army.
"Chief of Staff, the scale of the warehouse now involves five regions: Central Shanxi, Western Shanxi, Southern Shanxi, Western Hebei, and Southern Hebei. The stalls are too big. Zhao Gang and I don't understand this...
." Zhou Weihan said miserably.
"Then I will send you He Wensheng, the deputy captain of the First Brigade. This is an old comrade who has worked on the intelligence front for many years! He is completely qualified for the position of Chief of the Enemy Section of the New Second Regiment!" The deputy chief of staff is still soft-hearted after all.
,
"Zhou Weihan, you can't gather wool in one place. Don't forget what Chen Geng did before. I can only give you three people. If you want someone else, go to Chen Geng!"
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!" After saying that, Zhou Weihan took the approval slip from the Deputy Chief of General Staff and went to the enemy cadre training class to receive people.
After Zhou Weihan left, the boss who had been silent just now said in a muffled voice: "You are really going to him and give him whatever you want! You see, if you go to Chen Geng, he will have to suffer miserably!"
"Boss, you're still talking about me. You've been listening for a long time and you didn't object, right?" the deputy chief of staff said with a smile.
The training class for enemy cadres was in the same place as the Political Department of the headquarters. When Zhou Weihan went there, the training class was still in session, so he did not disturb it.
Now the number and size of the New Second Regiment are getting larger and larger. In fact, Zhou Weihan also wanted a chief of staff and a deputy commander, but the Eighth Route Army is now short of cadres everywhere, and in the end he was too embarrassed to open his mouth.
"Captain Zhou, you are a rare visitor. Why do you have time to come to the Political Department today?" said a Political Department officer who was familiar with Zhou Weihan.
"Lao Zhang, you came just in time. This training class is under your control. The chief of staff has transferred three people from the training class to me. Please shout for me!" Zhou Weihan said as he handed over the approval slip from the deputy chief of staff.
.
"Okay, Lao Zhou, you have enough respect. The intelligence agencies below have asked the chief of staff several times to transfer Comrade He Wensheng, but the chief of staff has not agreed. This time, he has been transferred to your new second regiment. Just wait.
I'll call someone for you!" Zhang Zhihua said happily.
Not long after, the director of the Political Department brought in three people. One of them was in his early 30s, with an ordinary appearance. He was wearing a white washed military uniform and looked like an old farmer. Without the military uniform, he was definitely a proper old farmer.
Zhou Weihan was overjoyed because what he wanted was this kind of boss who looked ordinary but pretended to be a pig-eating tiger.
"This is Commander Zhou of the New Second Regiment of the 386 Brigade. The three months of training in the training class will end in a few days. The Chief of Staff has transferred the three of you to the New Second Regiment. You can complete your studies early and follow him.
!”
"Captain Zhou, I am He Wensheng."
"Fang Zhibin"
"Chang Xiangyang"
After hearing the introduction, Zhou Weihan was a little surprised. Fang Zhibin was in his early 30s, and He Wensheng was actually a young man in his early 20s, looking very capable.
"Captain Zhou, Comrade He Wensheng should be about the same age as you. Although he is young, he was engaged in enemy work during the Red Army period. According to his working age, he is an old comrade!" Zhang Zhihua noticed Zhou Weihan's surprise and explained.
road.
On the contrary, He Wensheng seemed very calm and didn't speak since he came out.
After Zhou Weihan and Zhang Zhihua said goodbye, they took He Wensheng and the others away.
After coming out of the headquarters, the three of them didn't say a word along the way. Zhou Weihan couldn't help but ask: "Comrade Wen Sheng, what is your position in the training class?"
"The vice-captain of the first team is considered an instructor."
"What content are usually taught in training classes?" Zhou Weihan deliberately provoked the topic.
He Wensheng glanced at Zhou Weihan and said: "The course covers the situation of the Anti-Japanese War, the situation of fighting the enemy, the nature of the work against the enemy, tasks and related knowledge, various knowledge of the three religions and nine streams in society, as well as technical things such as photography and secret writing, etc.
There are specialized Japanese courses.”
Zhou Weihan nodded after hearing this: "How is Japanese? When I get to the New Second Regiment, I will often deal with Japanese people in the future."
"I am quite proficient in Japanese. Lao Chang and Xiang Yang can communicate simply in Japanese."
Then Zhou Weihan gave a brief introduction to the new second regiment, but the direction everyone was heading towards was not Chenjiayu.
The deputy chief of staff reminded Zhou Weihan, why is it that the brigade commander is missing from the wool-gathering business?
