Chapter 509 Zhou Weihan who doesnt talk about martial ethics
Douzhuang stronghold outside Neihuang City.
Douzhuang stronghold is located on the highway from Anyang to Neihuang, on the north side of the highway.
Although the Hebei, Shandong, and Henan regions are mostly plain terrain with no cross-regional mountains like the Taihang Mountains, there are also many sporadic mountains and forests.
There is a mountain forest to the north of the Douzhuang stronghold. The Japanese army built the stronghold here entirely to restrict access to and from the mountain forest. To the south is an endless plain.
As the commander of this battle, Suzuki Teiji is waiting for news from Chida Hanbei in the stronghold. There are densely packed little Japs hidden in the mountains and forests to the north, waiting for an order to be dispatched.
On the Eighth Route Army side, Zhou Weihan was constantly summarizing information from all aspects. On the Japanese side, Suzuki Sadashi was also listening to the adjutant's report.
When he heard that there were wars in the Liangpu area, Jun County, and Hua County, the expression on Suzuki Teiji's face did not change much.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the strength of the Eighth Route Army seems to have increased again. According to the telegram, there are at least 4,000 Eighth Route Army troops participating in the war in the two places!" Chief of Staff Ichiro Sakamoto said solemnly.
"Sakamoto-kun, you must have confidence in the warriors of the empire. Their numbers are not enough to determine the success or failure of a war. The army of the Empire of Japan has always been invincible in China!" Suzuki Sadji said arrogantly.
"Hi!"
"However, the commander of the Eighth Route Army was indeed an admirable opponent this time. He actually deployed a lot of troops on the southern front early. He was obviously prepared for it. But in the end, I was slightly better. I waited until Fushimi Palace was captured.
When the redemption comes, the Eighth Route Army will welcome the surprise that I have carefully prepared!" Suzuki Teji said with a sinister smile.
"Your Excellency, the brigade commander, is wise. The Eighth Route Army in the Zhinan area will be defeated miserably by the imperial army. The prestige of the brigade commander will envelope the entire land of Hebei, Shandong and Henan!"
Suzuki Teiji is a senior officer in the Japanese army and has always been strong. As the chief of staff, Sakamoto Ichiro can do his best to kneel down.
"Yusishi, Sakamoto-kun, give Chida Hanbei power and ask him to speed up the progress immediately!"
"Hi!"
At two o'clock that afternoon.
A soldier from the reconnaissance company rushed to the Shanshen Temple Hall and reported: "Detachment leader, the inventory of supplies has been completed. Our company commander requests the next step!"
"Okay, take action now!" Zhou Weihan said.
Beigaodi is the main battlefield of the new regiment. Its guard company and regiment headquarters are on the mountain, and four infantry battalions are deployed not far from Beigaodi.
Immediately, Li Yunlong asked guard Huzi to lead the manpower on the observation tower to send semaphore signals to the troops at the foot of the mountain.
Yamashita, the atmosphere between the two parties involved in the transaction was a bit subtle at this time.
More than a hundred soldiers from the reconnaissance company had reorganized the transport convoy, and each of them was either leaning on the carriage or standing on the carriage.
Not far away, more than a thousand recruits responsible for the escort were waiting for orders to be dispatched at any time.
Several hundred meters apart, the more than 500 Japanese and puppet troops on the opposite side were on guard all around as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
In the middle position, Dong Jiang and Chida Hanbei stood facing each other across a carriage. As a hostage, Fushimi Miya Mingyi was lying on the carriage, his whole body was tied up, and a piece of rag was stuffed in his mouth.
cloth.
Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, Chida Hanbei took the initiative to pick out a cigarette and threw it to Dong Jiang.
The two of them lit up their cigarettes and looked at each other with awkward smiles.
"Mr. Dong, everyone in the imperial army is waiting for news about Fushimi Palace. Can I take Fushimi Palace back right away?" Senda Hanbei asked.
After receiving a batch of weapons and equipment, Dong Jiang was in a very good mood at the moment. He gave a rare smile to the little devil in front of him: "Qianda-kun, you also saw it, I am reporting to my superiors, please wait a moment!"
In order to delay time, Dong Jiang could have used semaphore signals to notify the mountain, but deliberately sent people to walk up the mountain.
"Okay, okay!"
Chida Hanbei never imagined that what he was waiting for was not a reply, but a large number of Eighth Route Army troops armed with firearms.
"Bah bang bang!" Several sudden gunshots suddenly came from the originally quiet trading scene.
Chida Hanbei squatted down subconsciously and shouted: "How come you can shoot? You Eighth Route Army soldiers don't abide by the rules. You have to give me an explanation!"
After receiving the order, the fourth and fifth battalions of the new regiment, consisting of nearly a thousand soldiers, surrounded us from behind at some point.
Although the Japanese and puppet troops at the scene also set up defensive positions, the more frontal reconnaissance companies were suddenly stabbed in the butt by the new regiment's sudden attack.
In order to show the sincerity of the transaction, among the more than 500 Japanese and puppet troops accompanying this time, the Japanese army only had half a squad, and the rest of the puppet troops served as laborers.
By the time Chida Hanbei reacted, the new group of soldiers had already disarmed the Japanese and puppet troops, and the kid who tried to resist was stabbed to death on the spot.
"Explanation? What explanation do you want?" Dong Jiang walked around the carriage and put his short gun on Chida Hanbei's forehead.
"No, no, no!" Senda Hanbei saw that the overall situation had been decided, and without the slightest thought of resistance, he held his head in both hands and squatted on the ground in an extremely cooperative manner.
Zhou Weihan's original intention was to put Fushimi Miya Mingyi back into the hands of the Japanese army, but he would not do so through a transaction.
The little Japanese did not respect martial ethics, so they mobilized troops from various places to participate in the encirclement and suppression campaign, and even sent a partial division to attack the base area.
Zhou Weihan was even more ungrateful, and all the personnel and weapons and equipment involved in the transaction were detained.
"Quick, quick, change your clothes quickly!" Dong Jiang greeted loudly.
The recruits who heard the greeting were organized into company units and received equipment on site. Each soldier used a 38-inch cap or a machine gun, which had been arranged in advance.
Brand-new 38-guns were distributed to individuals one after another, and the machine gunners who were specially trained on weekdays were even assigned light machine guns.
According to Zhou Weihan's plan, the eighty-one new recruits were equipped with twenty light machine guns, and eighteen Maxim heavy machine guns were directly equipped, which was two heavy machine gun companies.
The remaining 61 light machine guns and 18 heavy machine guns were temporarily strengthened for the new regiment, and the 12 Type 92 guns were strengthened for the two mountain artillery batteries accompanying the army.
The re-equipment was completed very quickly. The Neihuang County brigade was responsible for transporting the excess weapons, equipment and ammunition back to the base area and handing them over to Tan Lin to continue re-equipping the recruits.
"Haha!" Li Yunlong stood looking at the situation at the bottom of the mountain with a telescope, grinning like a flower.
"Don't laugh. Your new regiment only has temporary use rights for this batch of weapons and equipment. After the war, the military regions will allocate them uniformly!" Zhou Weihan vaccinated Li Yunlong in advance.
"I know, I know, when has our new regiment ever fought such a rich war? Old Zhou, it's fun to fight with you. Now our new regiment has at least 140 light machine guns and 43 heavy machine guns. The little devil only needs to catch up.
Come on, if the little devil has enough to drink, don’t even think about going back alive!" Li Yunlong said with a grin.
"Hmph, then I'll see how your new group performs!"
