Chapter 352 Tainan* Military and Political Collective Meeting
September 31, 1940, was the collective meeting of the party, government and military in Tainan Base Area.
Participants included regimental and battalion-level cadres of the Tainan Military Region’s troops and top leaders of various departments of the Tainan Region government.
Wu Qin, who was far away in Cheng'an County in southern Hebei, rushed to Yamawang Mountain with the cadres of the Third Regiment and the Basic Regiment the night before.
Wu Qin first made a report on the recent situation to the detachment party committee.
When he heard that the military region would allocate two infantry companies and a heavy machine gun company to the third regiment, Wu Qin said: "Detachment leader, the population in southern Hebei is densely populated. It is roughly estimated that there are four in Cheng'an County where the regiment headquarters is located alone."
There are more than 100,000 people, plus about 300,000 people in Linzhang County, totaling almost 800,000 people!"
When Wu Qin said this, everyone present was surprised. Although he had said that the southern Hebei Plain was rich in products and had a large population, he did not expect that just two counties would have the same population as Wuyi, Wu'an, and Shexian counties combined.
You must know that the independent detachments in Wuyi and Wu'an counties have been operating for the longest time. Not only have their populations not been lost, but people from surrounding counties often come to visit relatives.
"To be honest, our Third Regiment has not been idle in the past month. With the support of local comrades, the strength of the Third Regiment has been restored to the pre-war strength of more than 1,600 people!"
After Zhao Gang heard this, he suddenly remembered that Zhou Weihan had mentioned before that Wu Qin's third regiment had arranged several secret camps in Wuyi and Wu'an.
He immediately asked: "Wu Qin, where did you get so many weapons and equipment?"
You must know that the weapons and equipment of the newly formed 1,200-strong regiment are half provided by the detachment and half by the third regiment.
Zhao Gang originally thought that the Third Regiment's fortunes had been wiped out, but who would have thought that there was still room left to fill up the temporarily vacant personnel.
"Hey, this is all the wealth accumulated before, plus a lot of scattered seizures during the Hundred Regiment War. In order to restore the combat effectiveness of the Third Regiment as soon as possible, we will recruit several local anti-Japanese armed forces and local comrades
He is also very supportive of us and often raises food donations for us," Wu Qin said with a smile.
Zhou Weihan nodded after hearing this, and then said: "Commander Chen from Southern Hebei Province came to Yamawang Mountain some time ago and praised you on behalf of the Southern Hebei Military Region!"
Before the Third Regiment went to Jinan, Zhou Weihan's order to Wu Qin was to establish a foothold in Jinan as soon as possible before the Japanese army regained its strength in Jinan.
Nowadays, the New Ninth Regiment of the Jinan Military Region is located in Feixiang, the Third Regiment of the Independent Detachment is located in Cheng'an, and the Basic Regiment is located in Linzhang. The three counties are adjacent to each other. They support each other in military classes and report to the regiment for warmth.
At the same time, the location of the three regiments is in the southeast of Handan City. Like an iron rope, it blocks the connection between Handan City and Wei County, Daming and other places. It also threatens the eastern part of Ci County at all times and can always communicate with the Tainan base area.
.
...
Eight o'clock in the morning the next day.
Military and local government personnel gathered on Yama Mountain.
The independent detachment has four main regiments, a garrison regiment, three basic regiments, a cavalry regiment, an artillery battalion, a new regiment, the 28th regiment, and in addition there are section chiefs of directly affiliated departments.
The top leaders of the Organization Department, Propaganda Department, United Front Department, Democratic Movement Department, Military Department and Women's Committee of the district government.
Nearly a hundred people gathered in the courtyard of the headquarters. Zhou Weihan and others were sitting at a table, while the other participants were assigned a stool each.
"Wu Qin, you have to thank me. Those cadres were all transferred from my group to support you!" Jing Dagang said in a low voice following Wu Qin beside him.
"Dagang, I bought two bottles of good wine before. I'll have someone bring it to you later. How about it?" Wu Qin said with a smile.
On the other side, Li Yunlong was also whispering to Ding Wei: "Old Ding, what does Zhou Weihan mean by calling everyone over? The last time I saw so many people was when I had a meeting in the Taiyue Military Region!"
"Old Li, are you really a fool, or are you pretending to be a fool? Our Tainan base area has made a lot of moves recently, including land reform and the establishment of a basic regiment. Your new regiment, Old Li, has been transferred to the Tainan Military Region.
, we have to let everyone meet, right?"
"Before you came, didn't you receive the order to report to the establishment?" Ding Wei looked at Li Yunlong with a half-smile.
Li Yunlong smiled sarcastically. He was used to being the king of the mountain, but as soon as he arrived in Tainan, he was asked to report the establishment of a new regiment. Li Yunlong felt unsure.
Zhou Weihan looked around at the many cadres present, and it could be said that everyone's sitting positions were clearly differentiated.
The members of the independent detachment sat together, the cadres of the New Regiment and the 28th Regiment sat together again, and the ones on the far side were the local comrades.
"Okay, be quiet!" Zhou Weihan slammed the table.
Then everyone looked at Zhou Weihan, who smiled loudly and said loudly: "At the beginning of this year, I was ordered by the head of the headquarters to serve as the commander of the new second regiment of the ninth column in the sixth division of Taihang. Later, in order to cover the transfer of the main force, I
He led the New Second Regiment to Wu'an Village and then occupied Yanwang Mountain, which was regarded as establishing a reputation in Wuyi. In more than half a year, the Tainan Base Area was no longer limited to just one corner of Wuyi, but covered most of the three counties of Wuyi, Wu'an and Shexian.
, Cixian, Licheng, part of Licheng.”
"The current Tainan base area has gone through land reform and has been truly integrated. During this process, countless soldiers died on the battlefield, and local comrades did their best to cooperate and provide supplies to the troops!"
"It can be said that the Tainan Base Area is what it is today, which is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Now let us pay tribute to those comrades who sacrificed their lives!"
As soon as Zhou Weihan finished speaking, everyone stood up following Zhou Weihan and solemnly saluted with a military salute.
"The ceremony is over!"
Everyone took their seats.
Next, Wang Ying spoke a few words on behalf of the regional government.
The two people's speeches had in common that they thanked each other for their strong support and affirmed each other's work. In Wang Ying's words, it was thanks to the support of the army that the regional government could quickly lay down its foundation in Tainan.
It can be said that Zhou Weihan and Wang Ying have good intentions. After the speeches of the two top leaders and the examples they have set, the army and local governments will definitely work more harmoniously in the next work.
The meeting then entered the topic.
Zhou Weihan said immediately: "A few days ago, the military region ordered each regiment to conduct a thorough investigation of the personnel establishment of each regiment. We should have some clues now, right?"
After Zhou Weihan finished speaking, he looked directly at Li Yunlong, and other people who didn't know why also turned their attention to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong was shocked by the look, and said bravely: "Hey, no one has said anything, I will set an example in Xinyi Tuan!"
"After a month of rest and recuperation, my new regiment currently has five infantry battalions. The number is not large, just over 3,000?"
"Three thousand people? Where did your new regiment get so many people?" Xing Zhiguo asked.
"We have to start with the kid who attacked Changzhi. There was a puppet military division at that time. All the kid who came out of Changzhi were eaten by my new regiment, the 28th regiment and four other regiments. There were only a few thousand puppets.
Are you still talking about the army?" Li Yunlong became more confident as he spoke.
Seeing that Li Yunlong was speechless, the military minister of the regional government hurriedly said: "Commander Li, go on!"
"Hey, no, these puppet troops were divided among our three regiments. After returning to the station, our political commissar Luo did ideological work on the puppet troops. Before the war, my new regiment had 2,600 people. After fighting several battles, now it has 3,000
People!" Li Yunlong was so excited that he spit out stars.
