That night, several regiment leaders did not rest in Yushugou, but returned to their respective resting places with a few Type 92 infantry cannons.
Zhou Weihan found Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, and Zhou Weiguo. The three of them were chatting animatedly. The four of them got together, each leaning against a tree.
"Old Zhou, if Changzhi is really captured, it will be handed over to the National Army. Then the Japanese army in our Tainan base will have a hard time in the future. Changzhi, Gaoping, Huguan, Lingchuan, and Linxian will all be included in the sphere of influence of the National Army. By then,
The Nationalist Army's forces are connected in the Tainan area, and if we have a hand-to-hand fight with the Nationalist Army, the situation will not be good!" Zhao Gang said quite worriedly, after all, the example of Zhu Huaibing's 97th Army is right in front of him.
"Old Zhao is right. At the beginning, the 97th Army of the National Army only occupied Ci County and parts of Shexian County. The situation is different now. To be honest, I would rather let the Japanese occupy these places. Let's not be merciful.
, it was replaced by the national army to cause friction, and our Eighth Route Army fell into a passive situation!" Xing Zhiguo on the side also said.
"Don't allow others to snore on the side of the bed. This applies to both the Japanese Army and the Nationalist Army or our Eighth Route Army. It's normal for you to have concerns, but since your superiors agree to do this, they naturally have their considerations!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
Zhou Weiguo, who had not interrupted at all, suddenly said: "China's land can only be occupied by our own people. It's our own business to fight against the wall. What's the matter with letting little Japan get in the way? Soldiers will stop us, water will cover us, as long as we ourselves
The strength is so strong that the national army doesn’t dare to do anything!”
"Hey, Comrade Wei Guo, what you said speaks to my heart!" Zhou Weihan smiled, and then continued: "In the future, the forefront of the confrontation between the national army and our Tainan Military Region will be in Lin County. When the time comes, Zhang Hao will
The Tianpingshan guerrilla brigade will quickly occupy the northern area of Lin County, thus forming a barrier between us and the national army, which can also be regarded as a buffer zone!"
"It won't even matter if Licheng, Lucheng, and several Pingshun counties are given over to the national army. Our Eighth Route Army only needs to take root in the villages and towns!"
In Zhou Weihan's imagination, after this battle, the military strength of the Tainan Military Region was definitely exposed, even with the cover-up of Terauchi Isamu.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of cooperation with Temple Yong, and at the same time ensure the good development of Wuyi, Wu'an, Shexian Cixian and other base areas.
After the war, the Tainan Military Region simply took the initiative to show part of its military power. It made its name in Licheng, Lucheng, and Pingshun, and deployed the three counties as front-line battlefields for future struggles to attract the attention of the Japanese army. In this way,
Terauchi Isamu's side made it easy for the Japanese army's top brass to explain things to them, so that the four counties behind them could develop in isolation.
Zhou Weihan has a plan in mind, but everything needs to be planned slowly and there is no rush.
Seventeenth day.
Hideo Oki of the 104th Brigade, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Li Da Benshi's garrison and other troops on the border of Wu'an, suddenly withdrew from the battlefield.
Zhou Weihan had already communicated with Isamu Terauchi before, and Isamu Terauchi also felt that the military exercise was getting to a point where it would be too fake if it continued. In case Okamura Neiji felt that the 104th Brigade had strong combat effectiveness, he would transfer the soldiers of the 104th Brigade to
Carrying out large-scale sweeps in other places would result in more gain than loss.
Therefore, Isamu Terauchi quickly reported to his superiors that the Eighth Route Army that fought fiercely with the 104th Brigade was defeated, suffered heavy casualties, and is currently missing.
Hideo Oki, who is in charge of this large-scale sweep, is directing soldiers to wipe out the remaining forces of the Eighth Route Army and destroy the Eighth Route Army's base areas.
The commander of the 108th Division, Shimomoto Yaxiong, was overjoyed. The Japanese 41st Division suffered a disastrous defeat, and the commander of the division, Ta Michio, was shattered. In comparison, Terauchi Isamu's 104th Brigade had a rather impressive record.
Shimomoto Mixiong then ordered Teruchi Yong to step up efforts to stabilize the local public security. At the same time, he repeatedly emphasized in telegrams not to act rashly and to send troops southward to wait for unified orders from the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters.
The battles commanded by Zhou Weihan in Licheng and Lucheng really frightened all the Japanese troops. The little Japanese hated the independent detachment deeply, but they suffered from the fact that all the troops were in the middle of a large-scale sweep and had no time to pay attention to them, and no trace of the independent detachment could be found.
, can only give up temporarily.
Li Daben looked at the Japanese commander Hideo Ohgi in front of him with a confused face, wondering why the little devils in the 104th Brigade were so weird.
After getting to know Hideo Oki, he also got to know the commander of the Eighth Route Army in front of him. He knew that the other brigade commander Isamu Terauchi was not close to him, so he deliberately approached him and got close to him.
"General Terauchi and I are both from Osaka, and we once served in the Osaka Division. This time he specially transferred me to the rear in order to have good relations with your army!" Hideo Oki said enthusiastically.
Both sides were quite satisfied with the battle situation in the past two days. Li Dabensheng trained his warriors, and Hideo Oki successfully completed the mission and gained another military exploit.
Of course, there were some casualties on both sides. Thousands of people fought in turns. Although they did not aim and shoot at each other, there were always a few unlucky ones injured by stray bullets.
For this reason, Oki Hideo specially took the wounded from the Eighth Route Army to the military hospital for careful treatment.
"Captain Li, I heard that your army's conditions are difficult and you cannot produce weapons and equipment on your own. Before leaving, I have a small greeting gift for you!" The fat translator on the side translated Hideo Oki's words to Li Dabenshi.
Seeing more than ten boxes of bullets piled on the carriage, Li Dabenshang was overjoyed. He thought Hideo Oki had sent a few boxes of bullets, but he didn't expect them to be filled with bullet casings.
Hideo Ohki seemed to see something: "Captain Li, I know that your army has always had the habit of collecting bullet casings, so I asked the soldiers to collect the bullet casings near my battlefield!"
Li Daben said sincerely that you are really stingy compared to Terauchi Isamu, but he said: "Omu-kun, thank you very much, thank you very much!"
"Then, Captain Li, I would also like to ask you for a favor. The soldiers carry ammunition with them, and the baggage is too cumbersome. Do you have any good ways to help us?" Hideo Oki may be trading for the first time.
Slightly shy.
After saying that, he looked at the fat translator beside him and motioned for him to translate for Li Daben.
The fat translator curled his lips and said directly: "Captain Li, Taijun wants to sell you the ammunition carried by the imperial army. Do you want to buy it?"
When Li Dajeng heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately said: "Buy it, but this time I came out to fight, so I didn't bring any money!"
The fat translator had some cooing with Hideo Ohki again.
"Taijun said, this is all easy to handle. The credibility of your Eighth Route Army is guaranteed. You can deliver the goods first and pay later. Commander Li, brother, I have nothing less to say to you!"
"Don't worry, all the credit will be remembered for you, and you won't forget your share when you look back!"
Isamu Terauchi also let go of tested mid-level officers like Hideo Oki. In the future, they will also have trading rights in their respective garrison areas, and the profits will be divided into 30% and 70%.
