Chapter 496: Angry Japanese Army Brigade Commander: This is a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army
"Quick, hurry up!" Luo Juemin, the battalion commander of the Ci County Cadre Regiment, hurriedly called to the soldiers to quickly cross the Zhanghe Bridge.
After the machinery and equipment were obtained, it was Zhou Weihan's long-established plan to evacuate along the Zhanghe Bridge to Cixian County. The track of the Pinghan-Hankou Railway is a 1.435-meter standard track.
Therefore, the carts prepared by the basic group are all spacious frame carts, with two wheels just wider than the rails, but it is not so convenient for the mules and horses pulling the carts to move on the rails.
When the explosion sounded, the leading troops of the Key Cadre Regiment had not yet passed the Zhanghe Bridge.
However, the alarm was sounded at the bridgehead stronghold, and the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold were dispatched urgently and marched towards the bridge.
The two parties collided immediately. Luo Juemin looked at the heavily armed Japanese and puppet troops coming towards him. He couldn't help being shocked, and subconsciously touched the short gun at his waist with his right hand.
"Lao Luo, don't be impulsive!" the instructor on the side shouted quickly, and then walked back along the transport team, constantly comforting the soldiers.
Neither team stopped, and they quickly met and saw the Japanese and puppet troops passing quickly from both sides of the transport team, as if they had not seen such a transport team escorting machinery and equipment at all.
Luo Juemin, who had always been vigilant, did not relax until he reached the end of the bridge. Then he stood at the end of the bridge and called to the soldiers: "Quick, retreat to the west!"
Not long after, I heard chaotic gunfire from the south side of the Zhanghe Bridge, which was also mixed with the little devil's cry: "Give me some!"
Luo Juemin joined the instructor who was hanging behind the team, and then said: "At first, I just thought that the little devil here in Ci County was really different. He was doing business with our group in private. I didn't expect that this little devil was too cooperative. What happened to the superiors?
What's the deal with the little devil?"
"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. You can discuss this matter. Just follow orders and do things!"
The Cixian Cadre Regiment was established for a short period of time. Compared with the entire Tainan Military Region, battalion-level cadres are not enough to know some secrets.
Every time he traded weapons and equipment with Temple Yong, Zhou Weihan sent Li Daben, a specialized person in charge, to do it.
Some veteran cadres of the main force regiments probably had some idea. The newly established main force regiments were only ordered by the military region to establish relations with the local Japanese and puppet troops. The middle-level cadres and grassroots soldiers did not know that the top leaders of both parties had reached a consensus.
The story is divided into two parts, east of Shuiye Town in Anyang.
"Report, Director Zhou has sent a telegram!" the telegraph operator reported.
After reading the telegram, Zhou Weihan showed a smile and said immediately: "Notify all regiments participating in the war to withdraw and not to entangle with the Japanese army!"
"Yes!" the telegraph operator took the order and left.
"Captain of the detachment, Shuiye Town has been occupied by our supplementary regiment. It would be too cheap to just give it back to the little devils. Go ahead!" said Zhang Hao, the leader of the supplementary regiment on the side.
"What? Do you have an idea?" Zhou Weihan glanced at Zhang Hao and said.
"Hey, I don't think I should take it seriously. It's just that there are 2,000 people in our regiment nesting in Linbei. Captain, although Linbei has been recovered from the Japs, the actual situation is not optimistic. The area is mostly mountainous, with barren land and lack of water. There are
If the villagers in the village want to get water, they have to carry a bucket and walk more than ten miles."
"According to the current situation, it will be good if the villagers can fill their own stomachs with the grain harvested after spring plowing next year. Where will there be excess grain to supply the troops?" Zhang Hao explained.
"Do the local comrades know about this?"
"I know. Some time ago, I found a college student who graduated with a major in geology. He walked around the mountains with instruments and finally suggested that water could be diverted from several small rivers in Linbei!"
"But the people in the villages where the river passes through disagree. Even if this method is successful, it can only solve the water problem of some villages!"
Zhou Weihan nodded after hearing this: "Then what do you mean?"
"I thought that since Ranlinbei borders Anyang, I would simply occupy Shuiye Town. This would expand the depth of our regiment's defense and reduce the burden on the local people!" Zhang Hao finally expressed his thoughts.
The establishment of the supplementary regiment belongs to the 94th Division, and the food supplies are provided by the National Government, at least for now.
It can be said that Zhang Hao, the commander of the regiment, came naturally. Most of the battalion-level cadres of the main regiments who are older than him are still hanging around in their original positions. Zhang Hao, the latecomer who defected to the national army, takes the lead.
There is a lot of gossip in the Tainan Military Region, which is why Zhang Hao is eager to occupy Shuiye Town. Of course, thinking about the people in Linbei is also his starting point.
"Well, you, the regiment leader, can decide for yourself whether to occupy Shuiye Town or not. As for the situation in Linbei, I will communicate with the comrades of the regional government!" Zhou Weihan said.
"Yes!" Zhang Hao responded excitedly.
Lin Bei is an underground subordinate of Tainan Base, and there will be a lot of food to hand over next year. Zhang Hao's method of spreading the supply pressure of army personnel to Shuiye Town will not work.
However, Zhou Weihan had the right to ask the regional government to appropriately reduce the amount of food that local people needed to hand over.
After receiving the order, the soldiers of the supplementary regiment took cover and retreated towards Shuiye Town. The offensive and defensive momentum was suddenly reversed. The more than 500 little Japanese who had previously faced off with the supplementary regiment on the battlefield were now stunned.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army has retreated, should we pursue it?"
The Japanese officer looked at the position that was almost broken by the Eighth Route Army just now, and then refused: "No, the Eighth Route Army is very cunning. This is a trick of the Eighth Route Army to deliberately lure us out of the trenches. Everyone strengthens the position and waits for reinforcements to arrive!"
"Hi!"
At the same time, in Anyang City.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the train station outside the city reported that the military column carrying the bullet production line did not arrive on time. The Japanese army conducted an investigation at a nearby stronghold and reported that after the military column passed the Zhanghe Bridge, it was attacked by the Eighth Route Army. All the escort personnel were missing. The bridgehead stronghold
All the defenders were in pieces, and the bullet production line was hijacked by the Eighth Route Army!" Adjutant Hui reported.
After Suzuki Teji heard this, he was immediately furious: "Baga, you are a bunch of losers, how could such important equipment be robbed by the Eighth Route Army right under your nose!"
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the first people to discover this situation were the Imperial Army troops in Handan. According to them, the explosion cut off the railway track, causing the military train to slow down and stop. They quickly sent troops for reinforcements, but they were met by the stubborn Eighth Route Army.
check!"
"How could it be such a coincidence? This must be a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army, deliberately making noise around Anyang to attract the attention of the Imperial Army!"
"Send troops to search immediately. I don't believe the Eighth Route Army can transport the equipment away so quickly!" Suzuki Teji said angrily.
