Chapter 471: Capturing the stubborn guerrilla commander alive
When it gets slightly brighter the next day.
Zhou Weihan stood inside the Bagong Bridge stronghold that Wang Yigong led his men to remove.
"Wang Yigong, your fourth regiment did a good job this time. The task was heavier than that of the first regiment, but it was completed earlier than the first regiment. You, the regiment leader, commanded well!" Zhou Weihan said with slight approval.
Wang Yigong grinned when he heard this: "Hey, detachment leader, this can be regarded as a dangerous move. The little devil doesn't know the depth of our strength, so I caught the little devil by surprise!"
Not to mention the regiments of Tainan Military Region, even several regiments within the independent detachment are also competing. Jing Dagang's regiment is set up as a benchmark by the military region, and the other regiments can't be jealous.
Of course, this kind of healthy competition was tacitly approved by Zhou Weihan and was also deliberately created.
Wang Yigong's four regiments now overwhelmed Jing Dagang's regiment, and Wang Yigong was already filled with joy.
"The reason why I was able to lead my troops to rush south in an emergency was because Gao Zhiheng was in the north to keep me informed!" While Wang Yigong was speaking, he also did not forget to show his merit to his good partner Gao Zhiheng.
Zhou Weihan smiled after hearing this. He was very happy to see such an atmosphere among his men. Only when the military chiefs and political chiefs are united can the troops be led well and have combat effectiveness.
Just as Zhou Weihan was about to say something, the telegraph operator accompanying him hurriedly reported: "Chief, a call came from a group. The strongholds in the Liangmen area of Puyang have been captured!"
"Okay!" Zhou Weihan clapped his hands and smiled: "Return the call immediately and tell the group to rush to Bantouji immediately to meet up!"
"yes!"
On this occasion, the 1st and 4th regiments of the Tainan Military Region removed all the strongholds blocking traffic arteries in the Zhinan area with Puyang as the core, Huaxian and Junxian in the east, leading to southwestern Shandong in a short time
, Luxi is currently unblocked.
"Detachment leader, why don't you strike while the iron is hot and destroy the Japanese stronghold in Changyuan in the southernmost part of Zhinan?" Wang Yigong asked doubtfully.
Zhou Weihan did not answer directly, but asked directly: "What is the purpose of our mission this time?"
"Of course it is to eliminate the stubborn armed forces that have been in friction with our Eighth Route Army, and at the same time break the blockade of Zhennan, Southwest Shandong, and Western Shandong!" Wang Yigong blurted out without thinking. This was the established policy before.
"Yes, the Hebei, Shandong and Henan area is too big. This is why the Japanese army did not deploy too many troops in the hinterland of Hebei, Shandong and Henan. At the same time, they tried every means to win over the stubborn troops. This is also the reason why Gao Shuxun was able to watch the fire from the other side this time. The plate is too big.
No one can eat it!"
"Think about it, if there were only seven or eight counties in the Hebei, Shandong, and Henan regions, I'm afraid the current situation would only be worse. Will the Japanese army tolerate the presence of many armed forces in the territory, and even fight against them?"
"You can't make a fat man in one go. The Zhinan area starts from Nanle in the north and ends at Changyuan in the south. The area is too narrow and long, which will not be conducive to the stability of the base in the future. Now that the original purpose has been achieved, it is still a waste of time.
Why even sacrifice people to do such a thankless task?" Zhou Weihan finally said.
Not long ago, Zhou Weihan received a report from the Third Regiment on the results of the battle. The combined efforts of the Central and East columns had defeated the temporary first division, and the troops were preparing to outflank the blocked second and twelfth columns of Sun Liangcheng's troops.
Zhou Weihan could predict that Sun Liangcheng would not be able to survive for long, and the overall situation of the anti-recalcitrant campaign in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions had been decided.
Even if the Japanese army intervenes, they cannot change this fact. The Japanese army in the hinterland cannot play a decisive role, and the main force of the Japanese army stationed on the railway line is beyond the reach.
Nowadays, Sun Liangcheng's troops, one of the two main forces of the National Army in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions, are about to be destroyed. Gao Shuxun's troops are tied to the same tank as the Eighth Route Army in disguise.
Most of the blockade formed by the Japanese army and the stubborn armed forces was destroyed. Since then, the direct south area can communicate with the western Shandong area in Chaocheng, Guancheng and Fan County without any obstruction. Zhinan and southwestern Shandong can also be connected through Puyang.
.
The next thing the troops of the Tainan Military Region, led by Zhou Weihan personally, had to do was to clear out the stubborn armed forces headed by Wang Zikui, the commissioner of southwestern Shandong.
On the same day, the first and fourth regiments met at Batou, and then entered the mountainous area at the junction of Puyang and Dongming to rest and recuperate.
After dawn, the Japanese aircraft at Xinxiang Airport took off. First, two reconnaissance planes circled over the Puyang area, seemingly looking for traces of the main force of the Eighth Route Army that had disappeared.
There is also a squadron of fighters and bombers flying directly to Guancheng and Fan County.
However, the two guerrilla columns under Sun Liangcheng were indeed vulnerable. Even though they each had more than 200 Japanese troops heading north for reinforcements, they were still blocked by the two regiments of the Western Shandong Military Region and were unable to move forward.
After the Fourth Regiment and the main force of the Luxi Military Region arrived to launch a surprise attack, the two guerrilla columns at the front were directly defeated. Even the Japanese formations in the rear were disrupted, and they were helplessly forced to flee towards the original route.
When the Japanese flying squadron arrived, the two sides had already fallen into a melee situation. In the vast area, there was me among you, you among me, and the shadows of the two sides fighting were everywhere.
The Japanese pilots had obviously received orders before arriving. Seeing this situation, they did not hesitate at all and directly launched aerial bombings on both warring parties.
However, because the combatants were too scattered, there were not many casualties.
The Japanese bombing of both warring parties dealt the final blow to the recalcitrant armed forces. Sun Liangcheng's recalcitrant soldiers were originally demoralized and were suddenly bombed again.
Wherever the Eighth Route Army went, stubborn soldiers watched the wind and surrendered.
"Damn, that little devil is so cruel, he even blew himself up!" Wu Qin cursed and stood up, wiping the dust from his face.
Not far in front of Wu Qin, he saw the bodies of several little Japs torn to pieces, apparently affected by aerial bombs.
Wu Qin looked at the dozens of soldiers following him. The organization of the army was disrupted in the pursuit. Political Commissar Wang Lin went alone to lead the battle with some men.
Wu Qin clearly recognized a few unfamiliar faces among them, and they were obviously not soldiers of the Third Regiment.
"Quick, tell the soldiers to capture the prisoners quickly!" Wu Qin remembered Zhou Weihan's previous instructions.
"Captain, why don't we capture Sun Liangcheng alive?" asked the commander of the guard company.
"Catch the ass and capture some stubborn soldiers!" Wu Qin scolded.
"Yes!" Then the guard company commander greeted, and several soldiers from the Luxi Military Region followed.
Before the battle started, Zhou Weihan had told Wu Qin to work hard when overcoming difficulties, but at the end of the day, he must not take the lead.
In this anti-recalcitrant campaign against Sun Liangcheng's troops, the Luxi Military Region was singing pig's feet. The Tainan Military Region sent the third regiment just to provide support. Don't let the third regiment capture Sun Liangcheng. The Luxi Military Region would inevitably lose face by then.
It won't look good.
Of course, Zhou Weihan would not engage in loss-making business. Guanxian, Tangyi, Xinxian in northwest Shandong, Chaocheng, Guancheng, and Fanxian in western Shandong, if nothing else happens, will all be included in the base area of the western Shandong Military Region.
You drink wine and eat meat, and I also have to drink soup, right? If you capture more stubborn prisoners, you won't be doing a loss-making business after all.
"Sun Liangcheng, the commander-in-chief of the stubborn guerrilla army, was captured alive by our troops!"
"Sun Liangcheng, the commander-in-chief of the stubborn guerrilla army, was captured alive by our troops!"
Throughout the fighting area, soldiers sent by the Luxi Military Region were riding on war horses to spread the word, telling the news that Sun Liangcheng had been captured alive to some of the stubborn troops who were still resisting.
