Chapter 501: Development Conference, Raising Troops to Go South
The end of March 1941.
After a group of people from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region visited and studied in Tainan, Chief of Staff Tang returned to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region alone due to busy business.
Before leaving, Zhou Weihan specially transferred two key members from the reconnaissance company, while the rest continued to stay and study in depth.
Due to various reasons, Zhou Weihan stayed in Tainan for a winter, and it was almost time for spring plowing.
Fortunately, the superiors had already considered Zhou Weihan's position as the chief military officer of two military regions, and when selecting the political commissar of the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions, they specifically selected Tan Lin, a partner who was capable of both literary and military skills.
On King of Hell Mountain, Zhou Weihan convened the Tainan Military Region leadership team, various regiments, and various official positions to discuss the next stage of development and combat matters of the Tainan Base.
It had rained two days ago, which was quite a bit cold in spring. Although there was no stove in the house, everyone was still wrapped in cotton military uniforms.
The meeting began with He Wensheng, the head of the enemy engineering department, reporting on recent work.
Previously, Zhou Weihan had given clear instructions on the work of the enemy engineering department, and the enemy engineering department's power should be poured out into the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions.
"Dear commanders, this winter, our enemy's engineering department was ordered to develop an intelligence network in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions. We used goods and deeds to cover up and established four intelligence strongholds in northwest Shandong with Liaocheng as the center, Guanxian, Tangyi and Xinxian. Directly south
With the Liangpu area as the core, a total of seven intelligence strongholds have been established. In southwestern Shandong, with Heze as the center, five intelligence strongholds have been established in Zhencheng, Dingtao, Caoxian, and Luling Town!"
"The current sixteen strongholds are only initially established in the city. In the future, they will develop towards the villages and towns below, completely forming an intelligence network!" He Wenshenghui reported.
After hearing this, Zhou Weihan nodded with a serious expression: "It is developing very quickly, but let me remind you that Hebei, Shandong and Yu are not as good as Tainan, and the little devils there will not be merciful to us, so we must let the lurking comrades
Correct your mentality, don’t let down your guard, and be mentally prepared to fight in a cruel environment in advance!”
"Yes, I understand!"
Then Zhou Weihan looked at the several regiment commanders present. Currently, the 281st regiment of Tainan Military Region is Ding Wei's 279th regiment, Xu Dali's 279th regiment, and Zhang Hao's supplementary regiment. These three regiments belong to the 94th Division.
In addition, the defense zones border each other, and they can communicate with each other on weekdays, which is equivalent to forming another system.
The Tainan Third Division exists in name only. After Wang Yigong's Fourth Regiment was transferred to Hebei, Shandong and Henan, there was only one Cixian County backbone regiment to support the scene.
In addition, there are the fifth regiment of the independent detachment commanded by Li Da, the newly formed Guo Huaiwu 29th Regiment, and the Shexian Basic Regiment. They have received transfer orders to follow Zhou Weihan in the near future. A new regiment, a total of eight regiments of military leaders
Officials are present.
When Zhou Weihan presided over the meeting, most of the time only military officers attended the meeting, while when Zhao Gang, the political commissar, presided over the meeting, the political commissars of each regiment attended the meeting.
"Now that the weather is getting warmer, after a winter, the strength of your regiments should have almost recovered. I guess the time has come for the little devils too!"
"Next, the Japs will definitely use troops against the Changzhi area. The current regiment and the fourth regiment are being transferred, and a new regiment will be deployed. Each of your regiments must be mentally prepared!"
"Ding Wei!" Zhou Weihan looked at Ding Wei.
"Here we come!" Ding Wei stood up suddenly.
Zhou Weihan waved his hand to Ding Wei to sit down. In formal occasions, Ding Wei was very particular about propriety.
"What Li Yunlong said to your regiment headquarters after the year is still very reasonable. Your regiment, the 22nd Regiment, and the Independent Regiment each occupy the transportation arteries of Handan-Chang Highway, Baijin Railway, and Lintun Highway. Their geographical locations are very advantageous.
, once there is any trouble, your three regiments need to quickly support you, and you really need a unified command!"
"But your regiments belong to different organizations. I guess it is impossible for the headquarters to reorganize military divisions, so I need you to contact me privately. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhou Weihan glanced at Ding Wei thoughtfully.
"Understood!" Ding Wei responded with a smile on his face.
Zhou Weihan's inference was not groundless, but was based on careful research.
First of all, Southeast Li and Southeast of Lu, where the Tainan 1st Division is located, not only guard against the national army, but also serve as a barrier to prevent the Japanese army from invading the base area from the Handan-Chang Highway.
At present, the Tainan Military Region is directly under the Eighth Route Army Headquarters. No matter what the considerations are, the head of the headquarters will not remove a division from the Tainan Military Region.
As for the independent regiments, the 22nd regiment is both under the organization of the 129th Division, but one is under the Taiyue Military Region and the other is directly under the division headquarters.
How could the two main regiments be easily assigned to the Tainan Military Region?
Kong Jie is an honest man, Liu Tianming is an undisputed person, and among the three, Ding Wei is the smart one.
In fact, the core regiment of the First Division based on the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment has been formed. In addition, Ding Wei is the military commander of the Tainan First Division. The three of them are usually together, with Ding Wei as the leader.
"Of course, we are giving the national army's periphery a protective umbrella for nothing, and we have to use the strength we need, so we must do a good job in the united front work of the 27th Army and the 358th Regiment!"
"Of course you can't. We won't do a loss-making business!"
Zhou Weihan then made arrangements for the next key tasks of the Tainan Second Division. The location of the Second Division determined that in the future, it would join forces with the Hebei, Shandong and Henan Military Region to form a pincer attack on the Japanese army in the Anyang area, which was not unimportant.
After the meeting, several group leaders dispersed.
"Old Zhao, I'm really leaving this time!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
"Hey, come on, let Comrade Tan Lin take charge of the work of the Hebei, Shandong, and Henan Military Region by himself. Do you feel at ease?"
"Hey, I don't want to either. It's not just for the comrades from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to arrive. It's not like I'm not here, right?"
Before leaving, Zhou Weihan told him: "I have discussed with Wang Ying before. After the new year, the regional government will organize manpower and material resources from all counties to build water conservancy projects. The troops will provide assistance as much as possible to break mountains and stones. Explosives and technical personnel will be used."
Just do it and don’t cause any casualties!”
"Comrade Wei Guo, you should not take it lightly when you are in Pingshun and Wen Yu, but you won't be in Pingshun for too long. The Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region is also short of personnel. When the time is right, I will apply to my superiors to transfer you to
Jiluyu Military Region!" Zhou Weihan said to Zhou Weiguo.
After hearing this, Zhou Weiguo's face was full of surprise and he responded quickly.
To be honest, Zhou Weiguo is a talented person, but after arriving in the Tainan Military Region, he never had the opportunity to show off his talents.
It would be a pity to stay in Pingshun and stare at Wen Yu.
At present, the Hebei, Shandong and Henan Military Region was recruiting personnel, so Zhou Weihan decided to transfer Zhou Weiguo to serve in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan Military Region.
the next day.
In addition to the third battalion, more than 2,600 people of the new regiment were assembled. They first arrived in Pingshun to receive Soviet weapons and equipment, and then marched to Cixi.
Accompanying Zhou Weihan are the reconnaissance company, combat defense artillery company, and tank company. The two sides are expected to meet in Cixi.
