Chapter 359: The top of the mountain in the army, Changzhi news
After Yang Bo left, Zhou Weihan couldn't help but sigh.
Some hills appeared among the troops in the Tainan Military Region. This was only noticed by Zhou Weihan after Zhao Gang reminded him before.
Among them, the independent detachment was the most serious. Strictly speaking, this was caused by Zhou Weihan invisibly.
Wherever there are people, there will be small groups. This is inevitable. People will have independent consciousness and have three good things and two things that are close to each other.
In the army, it is easier to form a comradeship by joining hands to fight the enemy on the battlefield and shed blood, and accordingly, there will be a mountain.
At best, Shantou is more like a cohesive group; at worst, it's more likely to be exclusive.
From the perspective of the entire Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region, Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, Shanxi-Sui Military Region and even Shandong, Jiangnan and other major military regions can be regarded as a large hilltop, which is composed of small hills of the secondary military regions below.
Therefore, the Eighth Route Army headquarters would regularly transfer cadres to study at the Anti-Japanese War University, and even the military regions would mobilize personnel for cadres.
The brigade commander and Commander Chen from southern Hebei even went to Yanzhou to study when the war entered a relatively stable stage.
In the Tainan Military Region, the largest hilltop is the independent detachment, and the New Regiment and the 28th Regiment are vaguely excluded. Li Yunlong and Ding Wei are old comrades in arms, and the two regiments are stationed next to each other, so they can be regarded as hugging each other.
Among the independent detachments, the old foundation brought by Zhou Weihan in the 22nd Regiment has developed the strongest and is the most trusted by Zhou Weihan.
Among them, Jing Dagang and Wu Qin are the representatives, which can be called the Yuan Cong system.
Among the Yuancong faction, the guard faction headed by Wu Qin was the strongest, and the first batch of guard company soldiers brought from the 22nd regiment became the backbone of each regiment.
Even the third batch of guard company soldiers who serve as the backbone of the newly assigned regiments not long ago have the lowest position as squad leader.
This shows the invisible power of the three batches of guard company soldiers in each regiment.
There is also a group of old members from the Nine Column New Second Regiment period headed by Xu Dali, and the Fourth Regiment headed by Wang Yigong.
The recruitment of independent detachments is based on region.
By region, most of the first, second and third regiments were soldiers from Wu'an and Wuyi, and a small number were from Jinan.
In this regard, Zhou Weihan and the various regiment leaders may not have been aware of the formation of the hilltop, or they may have thought it was normal when they discovered it. This was also a problem that Zhao Gang discovered only when he went down to inspect the company.
After the Hundred Regiment Battle, Zhou Weihan deliberately left Wu Qin's third regiment in southern Hebei, and Jing Dagang's first regiment stayed in Yamawang Mountain with the headquarters.
The daily training of the new corps is also personally responsible for the chief of staff, Xing Zhiguo.
In terms of cadre training, one of the purposes of establishing the Tainan Cadre School is to weaken the influence of the guard company in the army.
The only soldiers recruited from the three basic regiments were not recruited from Wu'an and Wuyi. The fellow villagers repeatedly asked for their children to join the army, but Zhou Weihan did not agree.
Zhao Gang once said that other comrades should not be allowed to think that the independent detachment cannot be penetrated by water or blown by wind. This is also the reason why Zhou Weihan still applied for a group of cadre support from the headquarters when he could have promoted some soldiers with outstanding military exploits from within.
The above are all subtle adjustments Zhou Weihan made invisibly without damaging the combat effectiveness of the troops.
At the same time, Zhou Weihan also protected this group, for example, asking the first regiment in the same independent detachment to dispatch some cadres to support the third regiment in southern Hebei.
From the Tainan Military Region as a whole, the development of the troops is positive. When surrounded by powerful enemies, the existence of the mountain is more conducive to uniting the comrades around him. Zhou Weihan is not willing to make big moves in personnel appointments at this time.
In the afternoon, Li Yunshan hurriedly found Zhou Weihan to report the situation.
After learning that the 41st Division of the Japanese Army was going to station in Changzhi, the enemy's engineering department had been keeping an eye on the dynamics of the Japanese army in Changzhi.
"Information came from the Lucheng Intelligence Station. A large number of Japanese troops arrived at Lucheng along the Lintun Highway, and then gathered around Changzhi. The little devils are really going to make a big move this time!" Li Yunshan said.
The address of the Lucheng Intelligence Station under the Enemy Engineering Section is in Taitung Village. The Taitung Village area is at the forefront of the Lucheng War of Resistance. To the west you can enter the enemy-occupied area of Lucheng, to the north you can enter the 28th Regiment activity area, and to the east you can cross Taishan.
, directly connected to Pingshun territory.
Therefore, Taitung Village was the frontline of the Lucheng Anti-Japanese War and was also an active junction zone. Secondly, Taitung Village was located on a high hill. The top of the high hill was the commanding height of this area and was also a major lookout for observing the enemy's situation.
Standing on the top of the mountain, you have a very wide view. To the northwest, you can observe the Japanese army's Wulihou stronghold and Weizi Town stronghold, as well as the changes in the enemy situation such as the Handan-Chang Highway; to the west, you can observe the Japanese and puppet troops in the direction of Yaoshang, Chengjiachuan, and Lucheng.
Action; you can see Laoding Mountain in Changzhi to the southwest.
Soon, Xing Zhiguo and Zhao Gang also arrived.
"The little devil came very quickly. Let the intelligence station in Changzhi City pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army. At the same time, Ding Wei's 28th Regiment sent a small force to keep an eye on Weizi Town. The Japanese army in Changzhi wanted to follow the Handan-Changchang Highway.
When marching forward, Weizi Town will be its front station!"
"Let the Second Battalion of the Fourth Regiment fighting guerrillas in Pingshun secretly enter Taitung Village. If the Japanese army really wants to take action, the Second Battalion will always harass the Japanese army's rear!"
"Let me ask each regiment how the blocking positions are being constructed based on the various defense fortifications in the area?" Zhou Weihan ordered one after another.
"The Japanese army's timing was very good. It's autumn harvest time in the base area, and the little devil really wants to take this opportunity to go to the countryside to grab food!" Zhao Gang said.
At the end of September, the Tainan base area began to start the autumn harvest. It is now the beginning of October, which is the time to do what is wrong and what is wrong.
"The autumn harvest cannot be delayed. This is related to the food rations of the fellow villagers in the next year. Except for the 28th regiment at the forefront, the other regiments have left manpower to build fortifications. The rest and the militiamen will assist the fellow villagers in harvesting!"
"Yes!" Xing Zhiguo took the order and left.
Zhou Weihan said rather playfully: "The little devil is very good at planning, but we are not vegetarians. If he dares to stretch his hands over, I will break off two of his fingers!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a clerk from the telecommunications department came in with a telegram.
"Chief, urgent call from headquarters!"
Zhou Weihan browsed through it quickly, and then said: "The intelligence work of the headquarters is still meticulous. The Japanese troop movement was discovered yesterday, and today the Japanese troop numbers and intentions were found out!"
"The ones coming are two regiments of the 41st Division of the Japanese Army. One of their plans is to encircle and suppress our Tainan base area and then stationed south of Changzhi for a long time to attack the national army in the eastern part of Zhongtiao Mountain!"
"I estimate that the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in the Hundred Regiment War. Now that they have recovered, the encirclement and suppression campaign will not only target our Tainan base area."
How could the Japanese army's large-scale troop mobilization be concealed from the eyes of the Eighth Route Army in enemy-occupied areas? As soon as they set off from Lintun Highway, they were targeted by the Eighth Route Army.
