Before Zhou Weihan came to the Hebei, Shandong and Yu base areas, the head of the headquarters gave Zhou Weihan full authority to deal with the Hebei, Shandong and Yu base areas. In short, he just said a word to promote peace.
With these words as his support, Zhou Weihan became more courageous.
However, before the war officially starts, there must be some negotiation. On the one hand, many local government comrades and Eighth Route Army soldiers have fallen into the hands of the stubborn army. On the other hand, even if there is a war, the Eighth Route Army must have a legitimate name.
Most of the stubborn troops in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan areas were the remnants of Shiyou's 339th Group Army. After Shiyousan was killed in southern Hebei, only Sun Liangcheng's temporary First Division sneaked across the Wei River and reached northwest Shandong.
.
After the anti-recalcitrant campaign in southern Hebei, Gao Shuxun of the New Eighth Army, who had been holding a wait-and-see attitude in northwest Shandong, took over most of the legacy of the 39th Army after the death of Shi Yousan.
Both Gao and Sun were powerful factions in the Hebei, Shandong, and Henan regions. They fought openly and secretly for the position of commander-in-chief of the Thirty-ninth Group Army.
Jiang Yuyuan was very dissatisfied with Gao Shuxun's previous wavering attitude. However, Gao Yuan was in the Japanese-occupied area and was beyond Jiang's reach.
Therefore, Chiang could only resort to the old tactics of fighting and pulling. The position of commander-in-chief of the Thirty-ninth Group Army was undecided. At the same time, he supported Sun Liangcheng to suppress Gao Shuxun.
When Zhou Weihan proposed to go to Pu County to negotiate with Gao Shuxun in person, Jing Dagang, Wang Yigong and others all opposed it.
"Detachment leader, this is too frustrating. The stubborn soldiers have taken action first, but we still endure it?" Jing Dagang couldn't help complaining.
"You have to endure the grievances, and you have to live the day of being dependent on others, but if they dare to lift the table, we won't tolerate it!" Zhou Weihan said coldly.
"Then you can't negotiate in person?" Wang Yigong said.
"Other than me, who among you can have an effect? After all, I have another identity in the national army. Gao Shuxun may not give me face, but he doesn't dare to do anything to me?" Zhou Weihan said.
"Detachment leader, even if you have to go in person, we can't be unprepared!" Gao Zhiheng suggested.
"It's natural. I won't fight an unprepared battle. Before I go, I'll stop the Japanese strongholds in Huilong and Chuwang. Then the two regiments of you will break through the Japanese blockade eastward and reach Neihuang and Qingfeng.
The triangle in the middle of Nanle!”
"The Japanese troops in Neihuang, Qingfeng, and Nanle are not on the same side. They have made full use of the advantage of the junction of the three counties to gain a foothold in the triangle area. You are welcome to the small local stubborn army. Please give Gao Shuxun a warning before I come back.
, I want to see a stable base!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
"The dry food we carry is running out. If we don't get some food, we will be hungry!" Jing Dagang and others nodded.
Early the next morning, before departure, Zhou Weihan changed into the general uniform issued by the Nationalist Government, and the reconnaissance company was transformed into a guard.
As a representative of the Western Shandong Military Region, Xiao Hua will act with the independent detachment before the end of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan anti-recalcitrant campaign and act as a liaison between the two sides.
The Japanese strongholds in Huilong and Chuwang were to the south of the temporary station of the independent detachment, and the first regiment was responsible for pulling out the strongholds.
Since the Japanese troops in the two places had not noticed the presence of Eighth Route Army troops nearby, the regiment used the firepower of infantry artillery to quickly overrun the stronghold.
The troops then quickly advanced eastwards and arrived at the triangle area that afternoon. Zhou Weihan separated from the larger troops here and headed southeast through Qingfeng County and towards Pu County.
Neihuang was under the rule of Anyang. The highest commander of the Japanese army stationed in Neihuang was Chida Hanbei, the Japanese officer who survived the Battle of Zhanghe.
The reinforcements of the 35th Division heading north were initially eliminated along the Zhang River by Zhou Weihan's troops. After Chida Hanbei returned to Anyang, although he was lucky enough to get rid of the responsibility, he was sent to Neihuang County.
After Chida Hanbei heard that the stronghold was attacked, he was deeply surprised. In his understanding, there were no main forces of the Eighth Route Army in the area, and small groups of guerrillas were also being fought for territory by the national army, suppressing them everywhere.
Escape.
"Baga, how come the enemy has artillery?" Although Chida Hanbei is a veteran, he still knows what he needs to know. He can understand what is going on by looking at the traces left on the battlefield.
I saw Chida Hanbei looking to the north and muttering to himself: "The enemy is probably the main force of the Eighth Route Army from the north of Zhanghe River. Report it to the brigade headquarters immediately!"
Zhou Weihan's journey to Pu County was much easier than expected. The Japanese army only occupied the county seat and along the highway. Most of the towns below were under the control of the stubborn armed forces, which were all controlled by the original National Government.
It was formed by officials in various counties and armed landlords.
The personnel are in disarray, the weapons and equipment are uneven, and some stubborn troops don't even have uniforms.
The general's uniform worn by Zhou Weihan greatly intimidated them, not to mention the fact that he was accompanied by a guard with Qing Yishui armed with a submachine gun.
Under the warm hospitality of a wealthy family in Qingfeng County, Zhou Weihan and his party stayed here for one night.
The next day, six pagodas were gathered in the southeast area of Qingfeng, where the first part of the New Eighth Army was stationed.
Checkpoints were set up outside the Six Pagodas. The soldiers of the New Eighth Army stationed here saw a group of troops in yellow military uniforms marching towards this direction and immediately reported it to their superiors.
The Ninety-Fourth Division is the Central Army, but the New Eighth Army was adapted from the People's Army of Hebei Province. Although both sides wear the yellow uniforms of the national army, the uniforms of Zhou Weihan's guards are produced by Luoyang factories, and are khaki in color.
Basically unified.
The soldiers of the New Eighth Army were wearing local homespun cloth with mottled colors. The two were at odds with each other.
Not to mention that Zhou Weihan was wearing a custom-made general uniform, carrying two gold stars on his shoulders, wearing white gloves on his hands, and riding on a tall horse, which looked so majestic.
The battalion commander who came after hearing the news looked at Zhou Weihan in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself that this famous figure appeared out of nowhere, and he was so majestic and majestic.
The battalion commander immediately stepped forward and asked, "Sir, which unit are you from?"
Zhou Weihan didn't even look at him, he just lit a cigarette. The monk beside him said arrogantly: "I'm from the 94th Division of the Central Army. Your rank is too low. I'll let you guys take charge!"
"Hey, are you here to entertain me?" The battalion commander was amused when he heard this: "What a 94th Division. How could I remember that the 94th Division was taken over by the Eighth Route Army in Tainan? Where did you come from?
Yes, brothers..."
Before he finished speaking, the monk stepped forward and kicked him to the ground with a sweeping kick. The black muzzle of his gun was pointed at the head of the new Eighth Army battalion commander.
Seeing this, more than a hundred soldiers from the guard pulled the bolts of their guns and swarmed forward, surrounding the more than 30 national soldiers at the checkpoint.
"Give you another chance, now open your dog eyes and take a good look!"
