Chapter 4 Going to be the head of the Nine Columns
Chapter 4 Go to the Nine Columns to be the leader
In Zhou Weihan's eyes, Li Yunlong is a big trouble. You can reason with him. He is playing rogue with you. If you play rogue with this guy, well, he can be more rogue than you.
Zhou Weihan had finished lunch that day and was taking a walk in the headquarters hospital to eat. The security guard from the headquarters hurried to Zhou Weihan and shouted: "Captain Zhou, the boss has something urgent and wants you to report to the headquarters immediately."
Zhou Weihan thought to himself, okay, something is wrong. This is the first time this month since he arrived at the cooking class that the boss called him over. However, the deputy chief of staff called him over from time to time and said comfortingly: "Don't be emotional, either.
Once the boss calms down, you will return to the frontline combat position."
Although Zhou Weihan is now the leader of the cooking team, the people in the headquarters still call him Captain Zhou.
The boss called Zhou Weihan over, but Zhou Weihan was not in a hurry. He went to the kitchen stove and wiped some pot ashes, wiped a little on his face, and washed his hands.
The little soldier in the cooking class said in surprise: "Captain Zhou, what are you doing?"
Zhou Weihan smiled and said nothing, looking mysterious.
"Why do you care so much? Get to work quickly. Captain Zhou wants to be reinstated!" Old Wu saw clearly and thought to himself that Zhou Weihan was leaving before he could warm his buttocks in the cooking class.
Zhou Weihan came to the headquarters. The boss, the deputy chief of staff and a group of staff were standing in front of the map and discussing.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Zhou Weihan, the squad leader of the cooking team, is here to report!"
The boss turned his head and looked up and down, and couldn't help but smile: "Look, what the hell are you doing? I bet our squad leader Zhou really does a good job."
The deputy chief of staff joked: "Don't tell me, it really means that."
Several staff officers in the room couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Weihan said directly: "Boss, what do you want from me? Did something happen to the 22nd Regiment?"
"The boss wants you to serve as the leader of the 386th Brigade's 9th Column New Second Regiment and pull the team together, so don't be reluctant," the deputy chief of staff explained.
"Chief of Staff, I'm not reluctant. Aren't we reluctant to leave our old army?" Zhou Weihan said with a bitter face.
"Zhou Weihan, let me tell you, boy, although the Nine Columns are not the main force, they are still the armed forces of our Eighth Route Army. Now we are just putting on airs and continue to have a military chief to take the lead!" the boss said.
"Boss, I didn't say not to go, but there are three gangs of good guys, and I..." Could it be that Zhou Weihan did what he did.
"Okay, the Chief of Staff has already considered it for you. Now there is an urgent shortage of cadres in each regiment. This time we can only send you three political cadres. For military cadres, you go to the 22nd Regiment to choose. Then you will finally be satisfied!" The boss said early.
He saw through Zhou Weihan's little trick.
"Yes, I promise to complete the task and turn the New Second Regiment into a team that can't be defeated or dragged down." Zhou Weihan can't be dissatisfied. He can't build a team with his own ability. He can't really do it.
I've been working as the squad leader of the cooking team at the headquarters.
Speaking of the Nine Columns, we have to talk about the distribution of the base areas of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
The 129th Division's Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Anti-Japanese Base Area is located in the border areas of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan provinces. Construction began in mid-November 1937.
At the end of 1937, three anti-Japanese base areas were established in central Shanxi, Tainan, and western Hebei. At the beginning of 1938, two more base areas in southern Hebei and Shanxi-Hebei were established. In September 1942, the Taihang Branch of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was established to combine the base areas established by the 129th Division.
It is divided into four military regions: Taihang, Taiyue, Jinan, and Shanxi-Henan military regions, located in a vast area east of Tongpu Road, west of Jinpu Road, north of Longhai Road, and south of Zhengtai and Shide Roads.
The northwestern part of Shanxi in Liangjian's novel actually belongs to the Shanxi-Sui base area founded by the 120th Division. The Nine Columns in "Eternal Number" should be active in southern Hebei. In the novel, there is no need to be too particular.
Why is the 129th Division and 386th Brigade always mentioned in Liangjian novels?
The 129th Division originally subordinated the 385th Brigade and the 386th Brigade, a two-regiment system. One part of the 385th Brigade stayed in Yan'an, so the main strength of the 129th Division was the 386th Brigade.
"Zhou Weihan, you go pack your luggage first and don't leave in a hurry. The boss and I will see you off in the evening!" the deputy chief of staff said with a smile.
Zhou Weihan was really flattered after hearing this. Looking at all the regiment-level cadres of the Eighth Route Army, no one had the dignity to let the boss and deputy chief of staff see him off.
evening.
The deputy chief of staff set up a table in his room.
The dishes are rare and rich, including a pot of stewed chicken, cabbage vermicelli, and a plate of scrambled eggs.
"Zhou Weihan, it's your credit to all of us to be able to eat such delicious food. Don't be stunned and use your chopsticks!" the deputy general staff officer said with a smile.
"Eat it, I haven't tasted meat in almost a month!" the boss said and added a chicken thigh to Zhou Weihan's bowl.
Zhou Weihan took a bite of the chicken thigh, and his nose suddenly felt sore.
After Zhou Weihan arrived at the headquarters' cooking class, he found that the food provided by the headquarters was not as good as that of the front-line combat troops.
Usually, good things are always close to the wounded in the hospital, and the boss even took the lead in cutting down on food expenses, so Zhou Weihan asked the soldiers of the 22nd Regiment to deliver supplies to the headquarters.
The boss put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth and said: "In the future, don't let the soldiers of the 22nd Regiment transport supplies to the headquarters. The situation of other troops in your column is not optimistic either. Keep them close to you first!"
Zhou Weihan nodded in response. Except for keeping some of the materials captured by the 22nd Regiment, most of them were handed over to the superiors of the column.
"Zhou Weihan, don't you have any thoughts in mind when I ask you to join the New Second Regiment of the Nine Columns this time? The headquarters is also very difficult. There are many troops below. All aspects must be considered. The 22nd Regiment was pulled out by you. Its combat effectiveness is obvious to all. Now the military
There is a shortage of cadres, so I can only wrong you!" the deputy chief of staff said with a smile.
"Chief of Staff, how can you do that? They are all members of the Eighth Route Army. As a party member, I obey the organization's arrangements!" Zhou Weihan said.
"Good job, we read you right. The 22nd Regiment is in western Shanxi, beside the Shanxi-Sui Army, and its development is greatly restricted. The Sixth Division where the Nine Columns are located is in southeastern Shanxi, which is located on the periphery of the base area. You can also
Show off your skills, how many teams you can draw depends on your ability!" the boss said with a smile.
After Zhou Weihan left, the deputy chief of staff suddenly said: "Zhou Weihan joined the organization when he was in college. Although he is not young now, his qualifications are quite high. He has participated in underground work, participated in the military movement, and worked in the 29th Military Academy Corps. You
To say the least, he is really an all-rounder!”
"Chief of Staff, do you know it in detail?" the boss said with a smile,
"Boss, don't forget what I do!" The deputy chief of staff, as the head of intelligence within the Eighth Route Army, has always done very detailed intelligence work.
"His father, Zhuo Yuangong, followed Mr. Sun in the revolution in his early years. He was very famous in central Hunan. Many children in central Hunan were benefactors of his kindness. When I was working under He Jian, I was well taken care of by him! Now his
Under his words and deeds, the three sons have also devoted themselves to the revolutionary cause, and they are truly national heroes!" the boss said with emotion.
Early the next morning, Zhou Weihan returned to the 22nd Regiment's station.
This time when he went to the Ninth Column, Zhou Weihan returned to the 22nd Regiment and told the political commissar Liu Tianming about this matter. Liu Tianming said bluntly: "Captain, you have purchased the assets of the 22nd Regiment all by yourself. Whoever needs the people, weapons and equipment is directly
If you choose, I fully support it.”
Zhou Weihan was not polite to the political commissar, and directly ordered the generals of the first battalion commander Jing Dagang and the guard company commander Wu Qin, plus a well-equipped and elite guard platoon.
"Political Commissar, you still have to support me with 200 38-guns, 6,000 rounds of ammunition, 10 Czech guns, and 3,000 rounds of ammunition. I don't want heavy weapons. They are inconvenient to carry. Let the soldiers bring three days' rations.
"Zhou Weihan said.
Political Commissar Liu Tianming immediately said: "Okay, Commander, I will make arrangements immediately."
Zhou Weihan smiled and said: "Old Liu, you are indeed a good political commissar to me. You always think about us. My hard work at the headquarters this month was not in vain."
If this were applied to Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, Guangjing Dagang and Wu Qin couldn't exchange for a few machine guns, but they still want weapons and equipment? You are so beautiful.
Speaking of Jing Dagang and Wu Qin, these two people are among the best in the 22nd Regiment. Li Yunlong has been coveting them for a long time.
Jing Dagang was rescued from a prisoner-of-war attack by Zhou Weihan when he was first in charge of the regiment.
He was originally a company commander of the 29th Army, and he was experienced in many battles. I heard that Zhou Weihan had previously served in the 29th Army's training corps, so he joined the 22nd Regiment without hesitation.
Not to mention Wu Qin, who has been with him since the 29th Military Academy Corps. Among the few who survived the Nanyuan Battle with Zhou Weihan, he is the only one who is still alive now.
Before leaving, Zhou Weihan looked at the people in front of him, Jing Dagang, Wu Qin, a full security platoon of 37 people, plus three political cadres sent by the headquarters.
I can't help but hesitate in my ambition. These people are the seeds of the future Nine Columns New Second Regiment.
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
"Comrades, the boss asked me to be the leader of the New Second Regiment of the Nine Columns, and you will all be taken there by me."
"The Nine Columns are no better than our 22nd Regiment. They are a newly established local armed force. They are located on the periphery of the base area and have a harsh development environment." Zhou Weihan said.
"Captain, you don't need to say anything. We are willing to go. We are fighting Japanese enemies everywhere, so we just need to follow you!" said a guard platoon soldier.
"Yes, Commander, following you to fight the Japanese is such a pleasure, even a Japanese girl wouldn't change it." Another soldier said.
"Haha" everyone laughed.
Zhou Weihan looked at the group of cutest people in front of him. Some of them had just grown up. People of this generation have not enjoyed the prosperity of future generations, and some of them may never see it again.
They shouldered their guns, threw their heads, and shed their blood. They are the creators of prosperity for future generations.
They should not be forgotten.
Pay tribute to those revolutionary martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country and nation.
