Chapter 307 The first batch of personnel and materials
the next day.
Zhou Weihan woke up with a slight headache and glanced at the three people who were still sleeping soundly.
Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo were too tired these days. Li Yunshan had just released the pressure in his heart last night. Zhou Weihan tiptoed out without waking them up.
When he got to the open space in the courtyard, he started practicing the health-preserving exercises taught by Political Commissar Deng. After a set of movements, he broke out in a sweat and his dizziness was greatly improved.
While having breakfast, Zhou Weihan and others talked about the specific work that Li Yunshan would be responsible for in the future.
According to Zhou Weihan's idea, considering Li Yunshan's physical condition, if the three of them are not on the mountain, it is very appropriate for Li Yunshan to take charge of daily work on his behalf.
The Political Department of the Independent Detachment currently has the Propaganda Section and the Enemy Engineering Section. The Director of the Political Department serves as the political commissar's assistant at work and is also responsible for ideological work.
"Since the organization has appointed me as the director of the Political Department, I will share my thoughts. The Political Department still lacks an important department," Li Yunshan said.
After Zhou Weihan and the others heard this, they all looked at Li Yunshan.
"Security Section!"
Zhou Weihan nodded. This point was indeed overlooked in the past. The Enemy Engineering Section is external, and the Security Section is internal, responsible for internal security, counterintelligence in the base area, and maintaining security within the base area, similar to the Public Security Bureau of this period.
"First of all, there is the security issue on Yamawang Mountain. I have always wanted to ask, why is it that the supply camp of the Logistics Department is responsible for security? Are our heads so worthless?" Li Yunshan said half-jokingly.
Several people laughed.
"Don't mention it. The last time I went to Wuyi to meet with Terauchi Isamu, he told me that Okamura Neji spent a lot of money and put a reward of 400,000 yuan on me!" Zhou Weihan pointed to his head.
After the independent detachment was established, it first went to southern Hebei, and then to Tainan, and caught up with the Hundred Regiment Battle. The only ones left on the mountain were the supply battalion commanded by Ding Dabapan.
Therefore, when the main force was away, the soldiers from the baggage battalion were always responsible for the defense of Yamawang Mountain.
Later, when the main force returned, the guard company was organized into a new regiment. In addition, there was still a regiment at the bottom of the mountain, so Zhou Weihan neglected the security work on the mountain.
Now the Japanese army hates Zhou Weihan deeply. Although the Yamamoto special agent team was personally killed by Zhou Weihan and others, there is no guarantee that the Japanese army will find out the location of the independent detachment headquarters and send a small and well-trained unit to carry out the beheading plan.
It will be a lot of fun to take over the headquarters on King of Hell Mountain.
Thinking of this, Zhou Weihan's face straightened: "The head of the headquarters will be here in just two days. Taking advantage of this gap, let a regiment, a garrison regiment and various village soldiers conduct a joint platoon search in Wuyi and Wu'an to see if there are any.
No enemy spies sneak in. At such a critical moment, there can be no trap."
"At the same time, a security department is established to be responsible for internal work. The security department has an internal security company, and the personnel go to each regiment to select suitable candidates to be responsible for the security work of Yamawang Mountain. What do you think?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"You don't need to select people from each regiment. I suggest you select people from the armed workers' team under the enemy's engineering section. Soldiers from the main force are fine for frontal combat, but they are not suitable for the work of the security section. The armed workers have been fighting against the enemy behind enemy lines for a long time. They are flexible and familiar with operations."
Given the enemy's situation, they are the most suitable!" Li Yunshan said.
A few people nodded, and the matter was settled.
Li Yunshan was so motivated that he called the main cadres of the Enemy Engineering Section and Propaganda Section to hold a department meeting that afternoon.
Two days later, September 3rd.
A phone call from Watanabe broke the peace on Yamayama.
The first batch of rescue personnel and supplies arrived.
The first batch of personnel included more than a hundred people from the Xinghuo Society, as well as 326 people rescued from more than 20 county prisons in the 108th Division defense area. These 326 people were some comrades initially selected by the Jinan Military Region.
According to previous communication with Teruchi Yong, more than 2,000 of our comrades have been imprisoned in counties in the Handan region alone.
Zhou Weihan could only rescue the more important comrades first, and the other comrades would do other things.
Materials include 45 tons of cotton, 5 tons of finished coal, and 5 tons of steel.
There are 340,000 rounds of ammunition of various types, 1,000 boxes of grenades and hand grenades, and 1,200 rounds of various artillery shells, totaling 27 tons.
Cotton, ammunition, personnel, etc. need to be handed over to Handan, and minerals need to be handed over to Fengfeng Mining Area in Ci County.
Therefore, after receiving the news that day, Zhou Weihan contacted Wang Ying and asked him to immediately mobilize personnel and gather at the Dongxiaozhuang stronghold in Wu'an.
Ten tons of coal and iron sounded like a lot, but in fact it was not very generous. Zhou Weihan sent ten military trucks to join Wang Yigong's fourth regiment in Ci County.
Four p.m.
Zhou Weihan personally led a regiment, a cavalry regiment, a baggage battalion and more than a thousand pack horses to the Dongxiaozhuang stronghold.
The Hanchang Highway next to the Dongxiaozhuang stronghold is crowded with people, and you can't even see the end of it.
The Japanese and puppet troops in the Dongxiaozhuang stronghold did not dare to turn on the searchlights, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and no one dared to stand on the gun tower for fear of being drowned by a spittle.
Zhou Weihan found Wang Ying and asked directly: "How many people are here?"
"I don't know either. According to the report, there are currently about 7,000 people from the militiamen from various counties and villages. They haven't all arrived yet. I left a few people to help. Let's go first!" Wang Ying smiled awkwardly.
I saw militiamen from each village, some pushing carts and wheelbarrows, some carrying baskets, and some leading livestock.
Zhou Weihan was shocked when he heard that Wang Ying said that more than 7,000 people had arrived. The combined number of militiamen and independent detachment soldiers was nearly 10,000.
What is the concept of 10,000 people? It is 38 kilometers from Wu'an County to Handan City, and it is at most 30 kilometers from Dongxiaozhuang Stronghold to Handan City.
Ten thousand people standing loosely can line up from Dongxiaozhuang to Handan City.
"Let's go!" Zhou Weihan waved his hand.
A dozen officials around Wang Ying dispersed among the crowd with iron horns and shouted: "Quiet, the main force will leave first. The village and soldier captains will take their own people, don't get separated!"
The soldiers of the independent detachment took the lead and marched along the Handan-Changchun Highway, first toward the location where the railroad tracks were hidden, and then toward Handan.
It's around eight o'clock in the evening.
Zhou Weihan had already arrived in Handan first.
Today's Handan City is much neater than before. The ruins have obviously been cleaned up, but the city walls have not been built yet, but the outer strongholds have been repaired.
Terauchi Yong was waiting at the train station in the west of the city. When he saw Zhou Weihan coming with only a dozen guards, he couldn't help but asked anxiously: "Mr. Zhou, where are the tracks?"
"Terauchi-kun, why are you so anxious? Manpower can't be that fast!"
“Where are the people and supplies?”
"They're all in the train station!"
Zhou Weihan walked quickly to the train station and saw piles of cotton bales, stacks of bullet boxes, etc. in the courtyard.
Zhou Weihan glanced at the monk, who immediately understood and led a dozen soldiers to check whether the ammunition was defective.
As for the quantity, whether it is a cotton bag or a box of ammunition, grenades have uniform specifications. When transporting, just send someone to record them.
"Where are our people?" Zhou Weihan asked anxiously as he saw no one in the courtyard.
"In the lobby of the station!" Isamu Terauchi said with a smile.
The temple leader Yong led Zhou Weihan into the hall, where he saw nearly five hundred people sitting together, talking in twos and threes.
What surprised Zhou Weihan was that everyone was wearing new clothes, their appearance had obviously been taken care of, and their faces showed the joy of surviving the disaster.
"Terauchi-kun, thank you very much!"
At this moment, Zhou Weihan expressed his sincere gratitude to Temple Yong.
"You're welcome. They are all your comrades, that is, they are my friends. I can't guarantee how it will be in other places, but within my defense zone, as long as they don't do anything that harms my interests, I will treat them with courtesy!"
