Chapter 517: Expanding the base area, Zhou Weiguo arrives
On the second day after the war, after a day of rest, Zhou Weihan, on behalf of the Hebei, Shandong and Henan Military Region, once again issued the "Local Operation Order for the Direct South Area."
Since the Hebei, Shandong, and Henan regions are mostly plains and vast, the Japanese army's combat method in the Hebei, Shandong, and Henan regions was to station mobile troops on the outer railway lines, while the hinterland of Hebei, Shandong, and Henan ensured the safety of counties and the smooth flow of various highway lines.
The heavy-lifting soldiers carried out an encirclement and suppression campaign against the Eighth Route Army troops entrenched in the hinterland of Hebei, Shandong and Henan.
The Taihang, Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and other base areas where the main force of the Eighth Route Army is located are mostly mountainous, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army is located in mountainous areas.
Therefore, the local Japanese army had to guard and build a tight blockade in an attempt to divide the Eighth Route Army's base area into small pieces.
The fighting methods of the Japanese army in the two regions are completely different. In comparison, the fighting method of the Japanese army in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan areas resulted in the local Japanese army not gaining full dominance, but it saved manpower and material resources. It can be said to be simple and crude but effective.
.
As for the current main area of activity of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, the direct south area, since the elite of the Japanese First Independent Mixed Brigade has been lost, this is a great opportunity to expand the base area, and Zhou Weihan will certainly not let it go.
According to the order issued by Zhou Weihan, in addition to the newly formed independent regiments, the four main regiments each brought several companies of new soldiers to expand their base areas.
The first regiment is centered on Neihuang and radiates to Anyang in the west. The third regiment is centered on Nanle and radiates to Guancheng, Chaocheng and Guanxian in the east. The fourth regiment marches to Junxian and Huaxian. The new regiment is
With Qingfeng as the center, it radiates to the Liangpu area in the south.
Regarding the development direction of the Third Regiment, Tan Lin put forward his opinions at that time.
The two counties of Guancheng and Fan in the eastern part of the existing base area are occupied by the New Eighth Army. At the same time, in previous battles, the New Eighth Army did not directly participate in the battle against the Japanese army.
However, when the Japanese troops in Guancheng and Fan County tried to send troops to sweep away the base areas, the New Eighth Army blocked the roads leading to the base areas from the Japanese troops in the two areas, forcing the Japanese troops to take a detour to the north.
Therefore, the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region owed the New Eighth Army a favor. However, Zhou Weihan would not stall the development of the base area just because of a favor. He immediately rejected Tan Lin's opinion and insisted that the base area develop eastward.
Once the order was issued, each regiment replenished ammunition and dispatched all except the wounded.
Inside the military region headquarters, a scene was taking place that made Zhou Weihan laugh.
The escape of Fushimi Gong Mingyi was not a trivial matter. Zhou Weihan was not around at the time, so Dong Jiang and Liang Jianshun reported the matter directly to Tan Lin after they returned to their base.
But what makes Liang Jianshun strange is that the matter went silent in the following days. According to normal procedures, Dong and Liang will be investigated by the organization. Even if there are no problems after the investigation, Dong Jiang proves his innocence.
, Liang Jianshun and Liang Jianshun must bear a punishment on their bodies.
Liang Jianshun was very worried about Fushimi Gong Mingyi's escape from him. He had not been able to eat well or sleep well in the past two days, and he had been thinking about this incident.
Then they found Tan Lin. The Neihuang County Brigade belonged to the local armed forces and was under the jurisdiction of the Hebei, Shandong and Henan Regional Government. Tan Lin was also the director of the regional government. Liang Jianshun reported this matter to Tan Lin in line with the procedures.
As soon as Liang Jianshun entered the headquarters and saw Zhou Weihan and Tan Lin there, he couldn't help but be stunned and held back what he said.
When Tan Lin saw Liang Jianshun's embarrassed look, and then thought about how Liang Jianshun had seen him hesitate to speak in the past two days, he had some speculations in his mind.
"Xiao Liang, what do you want from me?" Tan Lin adjusted his glasses and looked at the young guerrilla captain in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Political Commissar Tan, I, I have something to do?" Liang Jianshun said hesitantly.
"Xiao Liang, why are you acting like a big girl now? This is not like your previous style of daring to fight!" Tan Lin teased first, then straightened his face and continued: "Yes.
Isn’t it because of Fushimi Miya Mingyi’s matter?”
"That's it, political commissar, I have relevant information to report!"
"About Comrade Dong Jiang?"
"Political Commissar, do you know everything?" Liang Jianshun said in surprise. When he saw Zhou Weihan looking at him with a smile, Liang Jianshun seemed to understand something.
"Comrade Liang Jianshun, although you and Comrade Dong Jiang are both young, they are both proven comrades. It is right to be vigilant, but you must also trust your own comrades!"
"Don't waste your energy on Fushimi Miya Mingyi, we will consider it ourselves!" Tan Lin explained.
At this moment, although Tan Lin did not speak clearly, Liang Jianshun understood what was going on and immediately expressed his position: "Yes, two chiefs, I understand!"
Seeing Liang Jianshun walking out of the headquarters with a relaxed expression, Zhou Weihan said with a smile: "Liang Jianshun is very determined, and I will report this to you now. Dong Jiang told me that he could see Liang Jianshun when he went to the latrine!"
"
"Haha, Lao Zhou, you are right about this. Although Liang Jianshun is young, the young man has always been enthusiastic about the revolutionary cause and has a flexible mind. He just needs to get into trouble sometimes. If this matter is not explained to him,
What might happen?" Tan Lin said.
Liang Jianshun became the captain of the Neihuang County Brigade at the age of eighteen. In addition to the above-mentioned advantages mentioned by Tan Lin, Gen Zheng and Miao Hong also played a part.
Liang Jianshun was not a local. His parents died during the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign in the Soviet area. After that, he was taken by his cousin and followed the Red Army to northern Shaanxi, and then came to Hebei, Shandong and Yu.
Among the current leadership team of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, Zhou Weihan is the chief military officer and Tan Lin is the chief political officer.
The director of the Political Department is Comrade Li Fengnian, who came from northern Shaanxi, and all subordinate staff of the Political Department should be selected from the work team in northern Shaanxi.
Currently, the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region still lacks a candidate for a chief of staff, and a staff office is urgently needed to be established.
"Old Zhou, Comrade Zhou Weiguo came very timely this time. After you left with the main force, Comrade Weiguo arrived with the special force. He played a big role!" Tan Lin was obviously extremely satisfied with Zhou Weiguo.
"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have specially transferred Wei Guo from Tainan to Hebei, Shandong and Yu. Zhou Weiguo is an all-rounder, just take a look!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
"I have already talked with Comrade Zhou Weiguo. As the leader of the independent regiment, there is no problem with his ability. However, before he was the chief of staff of the Tainan Military Region, now he is only the leader of an independent regiment in the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region.
Captain, isn’t there something inappropriate?”
"Of course, Zhou Weiguo himself is willing, but the two of us still need to think about it, what do you think?" Tan Linzi asked Zhou Weihan for his opinion.
"Let's do this for now, and we'll see later!"
Judging from the level, the chief of staff of the second-level military region is at least deputy brigade level. The independent regiment is a newly established local backbone regiment, far from being a main force regiment. Zhou Weiguo was downgraded by two levels in disguise.
However, Zhou Weiguo himself was very happy with it, after all, anyone was willing to lead an army alone.
