"Shi Yousan's troops are like a long snake, from Zaoqiang in the north, Nangong in the middle, to Wei County in the south, scattered over a territory of more than 100 miles long. This gives us an opportunity!"
"The superior's intention is that the main force will destroy the three troops of Shiyou and pin down Gao Shuxun's troops. If Gao Shuxun's troops are reinforced, they will be eliminated together. In order to prevent the Japanese army from attacking my flank, a small group of troops approached the Japanese stronghold to conduct guerrilla warfare and reconnaissance!" Song from the Jinan Military Region
The commander conveyed the spirit of his superiors to everyone present.
"The Second Regiment of the East Marching Column, the Third Regiment, the 771st Regiment of the Youth Column, the Special Agent Regiment of the Southern Hebei Military Region, the Cavalry Brigade, the Li Rong Detachment, the He Yu Detachment, and the Jinnan Self-Defense Army, a total of 10 regiments formed the left column, commanded by Chen Zaidao.
Your task is to intercept the three troops of Shiyou in the middle, attack from the northwest, and eliminate the three military headquarters and the special agent brigade of Shiyou stationed in Nangong, so that the head and tail cannot see each other."
"The First Regiment of the Eastward Column, the Third Regiment of the Youth Column, the 18th Regiment of the 386 Brigade, the First Regiment of the Advance Column, and the Independent Regiment of the Zhuxian Column are the central column, commanded by Xu Shengji, and coordinate with the left column to attack the northern part of Wei County from south to north.
Temporarily organize the third division and Sun Liangcheng's department."
"Send the advance column and build the advance column as the right-wing column, commanded by Li Jukui, to pin down Gao Shuxun's troops east of the Wei River."
"The independent brigade of the 115th Division is approaching Gao Shuxun's troops in the Guancheng area of Shen County. If Gao Shuxun's troops move north and have the intention of crossing the Wei River, they will follow the movement north and coordinate with the right column to eliminate Gao Shuxun's troops."
"The independent detachment is deployed in the Qiu County area to prevent Shiyou's three troops from escaping south. If circumstances permit, they can go north to Wei County and assault the independent fourth brigade." Commander Song finally said.
"All ministries launched the attack on time at 4 o'clock in the morning on the 5th, and we will never give Shi Yousan a chance to breathe!"
"The general combat mission is like this. The specific combat mission headquarters of each department will not interfere. There is only one central mission. Try to eliminate the stubborn troops of the three friends. Do you still have any problems? If not, go ahead and deploy the troops!"
"Hey, this is a rich battle. We have a huge advantage in numbers. It is easy to defeat the three friends with lightning speed, but it is not easy to annihilate them all. Zhou Weihan, your task is not easy!" Commander Chen Zaidao said.
"Zhou Weihan, how many people do you have in your independent detachment? I still have two regiments sent from Hebei Province as reserves. Do you need me to support you?" Commander Song asked.
Zhou Weihan's independent detachment is directly under the jurisdiction of the 129th Division in terms of affiliation. Although it is designated as the Southern Hebei Independent Detachment, it is actually a guest force fighting in Southern Hebei.
Regarding the combat effectiveness of Zhou Weihan's troops, everyone here has only heard that it was the intention of the headquarters to deploy an independent detachment in Nan County to block the enemy.
"Commander Song, our detachment has nearly 7,000 people, including four infantry regiments. The 181st Division is Shi Yousan's elite. The reserve team should support the brother troops on the northern front! Besides, the Japanese army may also reinforce Shi Yousan.
"It's always good to have a reserve team on hand!" Zhou Weihan explained.
"Commander Song, what should I do if I really meet Shi Yousan?" someone present asked.
"If he surrenders, we will send him out of the country with courtesy. If he resists to the end, then we don't have to be polite!" Commander Song patted the table and said.
"You go back and do a good job of thinking and emancipating the minds of the soldiers. Although it is a civil war, you are also forced to fight back. Don't be tied down!"
After the meeting, Commander Song left Zhou Weihan alone.
"I need to inform you about something. The Fourth Independent Brigade stationed in Wei County has two regiments with about 3,000 people. After the efforts of comrades from the enemy's Ministry of Industry, one of the regiment leaders has the intention of revolting on the battlefield.
A comrade from the enemy's Ministry of Industry will contact you at some point!"
Commander Song's words greatly surprised Zhou Weihan. After thinking about it, he found it reasonable. Shi Yousan's troops were probably infiltrated into a sieve by various forces, including the National Army, the Japanese, and of course the Eighth Route Army.
The story is divided into two parts, Feixiang and independent detachment.
At this time, Zhao Gang was at the headquarters issuing combat missions to each regiment.
"The higher-level combat meeting has been completed. Our mission is to prevent the enemy from escaping south. The missions and blocking locations of each regiment are as we just said. You should arrange your positions!"
After the meeting, Zhao Gang retained Wang Yigong and Gao Zhiheng from the Fourth Regiment.
"In this battle, although the third group of Shiyou belongs to the combat order of the National Army, he is bent on causing friction and colluding with the Japanese devils. It is imperative for us to fight in this battle. Most of the soldiers in your fourth regiment were originally from the National Army. We must be good soldiers.
Our ideological work!" Zhao Gang thought about these words for a long time and decided to say them out.
"Political Commissar, don't worry. Shi Yousan does not put the cause of anti-Japanese war first. Instead, he is bent on causing friction with our army. All the officers and men of our fourth regiment will never show mercy to such a warlord who colludes with the little devils!" Wang Yigong said, patting his chest.
On July 4, Zhou Weihan returned to the independent detachment headquarters.
At this time, the independent detachment had arrived along the Qiu County line as scheduled.
That night, comrades from the Enemy Industry Department of the Southern Hebei Military Region contacted Zhou Weihan.
"Hello, Commander Zhou, I am in charge of this uprising, and the department has been properly contacted!" reported a comrade from the enemy's Ministry of Industry.
"When is the time for the uprising?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"The time for the uprising is set to be after 4 o'clock in the morning on the 5th. The insurrectionary troops will have white towels tied to their right arms. We need to open an opening in the position and let them pass, but their condition is that they will not fight against Shi Yousan's troops!"
"This condition is understandable. When the time comes, I will let the frontline troops pass!" Zhou Weihan said.
Sixty-ninth Army Military Headquarters.
Senior officers from the three divisions of Shi You were meeting here. Commander Zhang Yuting of the 181st Division, temporary commander Mi Wenhe of the Third Division, Commander Shi Youxin of the Special Service Brigade, Commander Duan Haizhou of the Fourth Independent Brigade, Deputy Commander Wang Qinghan, and the Political Department
Director Zang Yuanjun, General Counselor Bi Zeyu.
The atmosphere in the conference room was very heavy, and the situation between the two sides was already obvious.
"Military seat, the Eighth Route Army has transferred a large number of troops from Jizhong and Hebei, Shandong and Yu, and has formed a trap to outflank our army. If we don't make a decision, I'm afraid our army is in danger of being annihilated again!" Zhang Yuting said.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Where is Gao Shuxun's New Eighth Army now?" Shi Yousan asked.
"The New Eighth Army is still east of the Wei River. It has been pinned down by the Eighth Route Army in Hebei, Shandong and Yu. It is difficult to protect itself. How can we rescue us?"
Zhang Yuting still didn't say anything. Even if Gao Shuxun had spare strength, he would not sincerely support him.
Shi Yousan also fought several battles with the Japanese army. The most outstanding one was the Battle of Xuzhou. Shi Yousan's 69th Army cut off the supply line of the Kunisaki Detachment of the Japanese Fifth Division, causing the Japanese army to run out of ammunition and food. The Japanese even tied bayonets to the wood.
It was really embarrassing to fight with the national army on the stick and bayonet.
In 1939, Shi Yousan was appointed commander-in-chief of the 39th Group Army of the Kuomintang.
The Thirty-ninth Army was composed of the Sixty-ninth Army and the newly formed Eighth Army, but only the Sixty-ninth Army took orders from Shi Yousan. The commander of the Eighth Army, Gao Shuxun, had colluded with the Japanese invaders because of Shi Yousan, and Gao Shuxun was a man with strong patriotism.
A general who is thoughtful, so he does not obey the orders of Shi Yousan.
Later, after Shi Yousan reached a mutual defense agreement with the Japanese army, he expected that Gao Shuxun would not join him in defecting to Japan and acted in concert, so he ordered the Japanese army to sneak attack the first part of the New Eighth Army, causing the New Eighth Army to suffer heavy losses. This made Gao Shuxun extremely angry.
In June 1940, both the 69th Army and the New Eighth Army sent troops to the rear to pick up supplies.
On the way back, Shi Yousan's troops were safe, but the New Eighth Army's troops were attacked by the Japanese army, and a brigade commander was killed. Gao thought that this incident was caused by Shi Yousan again, and the conflict between the two intensified.
Gao Shen knew that his friend was ruthless and evil. Whenever there was a meeting at the army headquarters, he would ask the chief of staff or division commander to attend on his behalf. The two sides did not see each other for half a year.
Since Shi Yousan has been in close contact with the Japanese and puppet troops, he has been attacked everywhere and his internal military morale has been unstable. He suffered heavy losses in several conflicts with the Eighth Route Army. General Gao Shuxun saw that he was colluding with the Japanese invaders and refused to accept his command.
They are completely devoted to Japan and refuse to fully support their equipment.
