Chapter 422 Boss: Zhou Weihan has good strategic vision
"Something's wrong, let alone the rest of the artillery. There is a mountain artillery regiment under the 41st Division of the Japanese Army. There are a total of thirty-six mountain artillery, and not a single one has been captured? Is it possible that they were all bombed during the battle?
Destroyed?" Mr. L adjusted his glasses with a smile in his eyes.
"Comrade, I'll report it!" The brigade commander who was watching the excitement raised his eyebrows and said with a wink: "Comrade Zhou Weihan has a lot of tricks up his sleeves. Hurry up and tell me the truth!"
The brigade commander is easy-going and humorous, but he also has a strong personality and will not compromise easily. He is tough and courageous. But he can get along with everyone and is very contagious and united.
During the Huangpu period, the brigade commander was the big brother of the children in central Hunan. Among the many generals of the Eighth Route Army, he was also the most charismatic and legendary general.
The brigade commander always likes to make harmless jokes, so he is also the boldest among all the generals. He often jokes with his comrades, and the comrades do not reject it, but like it very much. The two of them get along very well, and
The brigade commander was also the only one among all the generals who dared to grab a drink from the teacher's comrade's water cup.
"No, Chen Geng, when it comes to Huahua intestines, who can compare to you? Don't you know? Last year, I made an impromptu decision to go to the 386th Brigade to inspect. This guy is so good. He led his comrades to stew a pot of meat at the brigade headquarters.
, when he heard that I was coming, he hid quickly!" The boss told an old incident.
"Hey, let's comment on this matter. Boss, you came here in a hurry, but you don't eat meat. We can't have a good meal by ourselves. Let's let you nibble on the steamed buns on the side. If you spread the word, we can also
I have to say that I, Chen, don’t even know how to treat guests!” The brigade commander stood up, clapped his hands, and carefully recalled the scene at that time.
"Okay, okay, the more we talk about it, the farther we go. No matter how many mountain artillery pieces are captured, our headquarters and division headquarters have no intention of staying. Staying in Tainan can play a greater role. As for this batch of material supplies, among them
If you need ammunition and artillery shells, I can allocate some to you, but the weapons, equipment and large quantities of ammunition must be supported by the Jinsui Military Region!" the deputy chief of staff suppressed his smile.
It's hard to say about other places, but Zhou Weihan can be sure that the conditions of the various units under the 129th Division this year are much stronger than last year in all aspects.
Relatively speaking, the Eighth Route Army troops were most lacking in ammunition supplies, but no one present asked for ammunition supplies after the deputy chief of staff finished speaking.
"Okay, it seems that all of you are well-off, so let's get down to business!" After the deputy general staff officer finished speaking, he looked at Division Commander L and Political Commissar D next to him.
These people present are the main leaders of the various units under the 129th Division. Although the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the 129th Division headquarters spend most of their time together, there are some things that are better left to the divisional headquarters.
I saw Division Commander L looking at everyone, and then said: "I called you here alone this time because the situation around your base area has changed. Your respective troops, from the leading cadres to the grassroots soldiers, must be mentally prepared!"
"The national army pushed back the Japanese army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area and regained the lost territory. This was an exciting and good thing for the national war of resistance. However, just like the strength of the three families of Wei, Shu and Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, the Wei family was the only one, and Shu and Wu could still unite.
Resist Wei, but once the power of the Wu State begins to expand, the alliance will naturally be broken without warning!"
"The Chief of Guards in the First War Zone has always been willing to cooperate with our Eighth Route Army, but there are some die-hard elements inside who intend to undermine the united front, especially if you are fighting to the death as a column, you must be extremely careful!"
Around Linfen, the decisive column operating along the southern section of the Tongpu Railway is directly under the jurisdiction of the 129th Division and is far away from other bases of the 129th Division.
However, the role of the decisive column is very important. To the west, it can contact the Jinsui Army, and to the south, there is a secret passage to Yanzhou in the direction of Yuncheng.
This secret passage is specially used to transport important supplies and escort our senior leaders. Now that most of the area around Yuncheng has fallen into the hands of the National Army, it is inevitable that some people in the National Army will have evil intentions.
"And your Taiyue Military Region, although it does not border the national army in Zhongtiao Mountain, the Yuenan area will definitely become one of the main battlefields between China and Japan in the future. You must be extremely careful, and the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army is...
Next to Kong Jie’s independent group!”
After Teacher L finished speaking, he saw Zhou Weihan looking at him eagerly and couldn't help but smile: "Your situation in Tainan is even more serious!"
What the division commander said, Zhou Weihan, naturally understood that the First Column and the Taiyue Military Region were separated by the Lintun Highway. This was the boundary set by the National Army and the Eighth Route Army, and there were Japanese troops in the middle as a buffer.
Kong Jie's independent regiment currently occupies most of the towns in Tunliu, and the Lintun Highway is at the junction of Tunliu and Changzi. Therefore, the National Army is watching Tunliu being occupied by the Eighth Route Army, but on the surface there is nothing they can do.
In accordance with the agreement before the war, the national army took over Changzhi and the southern counties, forming a confrontation between the two sides in Lucheng, Licheng, Pingshun, Linbei and other places occupied by the Tainan Military Region, but there was no Japanese army as a buffer in the middle.
district.
Immediately, Division Commander L issued a formal transfer order: "In view of the needs of the current situation, the 22nd Regiment of the First Column will be placed directly under the division headquarters and stationed in the northwest of Lu and northwest of Li!"
"Comrade Tianming, your 22nd Regiment is located at the angle between the Baijin Railway and the Handan-Changchang Highway. You have a heavy burden on you. You must be mentally prepared to lay the foundation of the base area before the Japanese army comes back!"
Political Commissar D who spoke reminded him.
"I understand!" Liu Tianming stood up and said.
Liu Tianming and Zhou Weihan's old superior, Commander Bo, had obviously already received news of the 22nd Regiment's transfer arrangements, and did not express any objection at this time.
"The independent regiment of Taiyue Military Region, the 28th regiment of Tainan Military Region, and the new regiment are all close to the 22nd regiment. Tell each regiment commander to keep in touch and take care of each other!" the boss said.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhou Weihan nodded and said to himself, boss, you don’t have to worry about this.
These four regiment commanders were all old comrades of the Fourth Front Army. When these four men came together, the little Japanese who passed through their defense areas on the Baijin Railway and the Handan-Changchun Highway were in bad luck.
Then everyone started talking about the Tainan Military Region where Zhou Weihan was located. Seeing this, Zhou Weihan directly handed over a defense plan for the frontline base of the Tainan Military Region.
The plan details the situation that the Tainan Military Region will face in the future, as well as the Tainan Military Region's plans to deal with this situation, and divides the entire Tainan base area into two base areas: the front line and the rear area.
"Okay, Zhou Weihan, you have a good strategic vision!" The boss nodded with satisfaction.
"It seems that you have worked hard, and our previous worries were unnecessary!" the deputy chief of staff praised with a smile.
"This defense plan is not the work of me alone. Comrade Xing Zhiguo, Comrade Zhou Weiguo and the comrades in the staff office all put a lot of effort into it!" Zhou Weihan quickly waved his hand and explained.
"Okay, we all know that you are not proud of taking credit, but the words in this single plan are too one-sided. You know the situation around Changzhi best. Please tell me specifically what you think!" D
The political commissar said.
"Judging from the current situation, the Changzhi area is currently in a peaceful state. Whether it is the northern counties recovered by our side or the southern counties recovered by the national army, the local people welcome the arrival of our own troops!"
"The Japanese army's cessation is only temporary. In terms of the Japanese army's face alone, the Japanese army's top brass will never allow large-scale Chinese armed forces to regain lost ground in the rear areas they have occupied for nearly three years. This will have a negative impact on the morale of the Japanese army.
A huge blow!”
Zhou Weihan said, standing in front of the map in the conference room: "From a grand strategic perspective, the Japanese army controls the Changzhi area. If they launch an offensive against the national troops in Zhongtiao Mountain, sending troops from Changzhi is an excellent offensive route!"
"But at this time, the Changzhi area is in the hands of the Chinese army. Once the Japanese army launches an offensive on Zhongtiao Mountain, the Japanese army in the Jincheng area on the northern line will definitely be attacked by the Chinese army in the Changzhi area!"
"How can the little devil endure this? The number of the 27th Army, 40th Army, and the New 5th Army is roughly estimated to be more than 40,000. This is not a small number. Therefore, if the Japanese army wants to attack Zhongtiao Mountain, it must
First deal with the national army in the Changzhi area!"
"It can be expected that in the future, there will be constant wars and small battles in the Changzhi area. Although the Japanese army will point its finger at the national army, our Eighth Route Army is right next to it. To put it bluntly, it is inevitable that it will affect Chiyu!"
Everyone present nodded after hearing this, and the boss said: "Go on!"
"Based on this situation, Fan Hanjie from the Changzhi area will not take the initiative to cause large-scale friction with us if he is prepared for danger in times of peace!"
"Moreover, look here, everyone, under the offensive of the National Army in Zhongtiao Mountain, Yuncheng in the west and Jincheng in the east are the key targets of the National Army. However, the Japanese army also responded in a timely manner, shrinking its forces and focusing on protecting the two
Important towns and roads leading to the outside world, therefore, the national army did not capture it!"
"The highway extending from Jincheng connects to Boai in the south, which separates Zhongtiao Mountain from the Changzhi area like a nail, and then connects to the Daoqing Railway. This area was originally the defense area of the 35th Division of the Japanese Army. The Japanese army moved along the transportation
Line, you can attack if you advance, you can defend if you are trapped!"
"But this is also a good thing in disguise. As a result, the only one who can fight side by side with the national army in the Changzhi area is our Eighth Route Army!" Zhou Weihan finally said.
"Alas, you are right about this. In fact, after the Japanese army reduced its troops, the Chinese army did not expend too much effort to recapture Jiyuan and Meng County. After that, the Chief of Guard deployed troops many times to attack the highway from Jincheng to Bo'ai.
We carried out attacks and tried to open up contact with the national army in the Changzhi area, but they failed to achieve substantial results!" the deputy chief of staff said with regret.
"It's a pity that the best opportunity was missed. In the future, the Japanese 35th Division can not only attack the Zhongtiao Mountain area along the highway line, but also go north to attack Gaoping, Lingchuan and other places, plus attack on Pinghan Road and Handan-Changchang Highway.
The Japanese army, the Changzhi area is really a place of four battles!" the brigade commander said with a frown.
"So the principle that our Eighth Route Army needs to adhere to at present is to focus on the overall situation, unite in struggle, fight in alliance, and not fall into internal strife!" Political Commissar D stated the work policy of the Tainan Military Region.
Everyone present was a senior general in the Eighth Route Army, and they all had strategic vision. After some analysis and introduction by Zhou Weihan, they all understood the bad situation that the Tainan Military Region was facing.
