Chapter 727: Rewards based on merit, re-drawing defense areas
At the end of March 1942, it had been five days since the Japanese army's large-scale raids were defeated in the Hebei, Shandong and Yu base areas.
After properly resolving the friction with the New Eighth Army, in view of the relatively stable situation in the Hebei-Luyu base area, Zhou Weihan immediately ordered each regiment to return to the original defense area, and at the same time fine-tuned the defense areas and development goals of each military division. At the same time, the Hebei-Luyu base area
The Henan Military Region headquarters was transferred to Pu County.
The headquarters in Pu County is holding its first post-war meeting. In addition to Communist Party member Zhou Weihan, political commissar Tan Lin, and deputy chief of staff Zhou Weiguo, the meeting participants also include major leaders from the four military divisions under the Hebei, Shandong and Henan Military Region.
cadre.
Zhou Weihan held the casualty lists reported by each regiment in his hand. In this battle, the 18 infantry regiments, one assault regiment, two cavalry regiments, the fifth regiment and the 29th regiment of the Tainan Military Region affiliated to the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region suffered a total of more than 7,000 casualties, including
Nearly 3,000 people died and nearly 4,000 were injured.
Correspondingly, the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region annihilated 25,000 Japanese troops in this battle and seized a large number of weapons and ammunition, including 52 mountain cannons and 12 field cannons, including the 16th Japanese Division from Central China.
The 35th Division stationed along the Longhai Line, the 21st Division in Xuzhou, and the 32nd Division in Yanzhou had a battle loss ratio of 8:1. They supported the New Fourth Army and the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui from the side.
The development of the Eighth Route Army in southern Shandong and central Shandong.
Perhaps he was choked by the smoke, Zhou Weihan coughed several times in succession, and the voices of everyone in the room suddenly stopped talking, and they all turned their attention to Zhou Weihan.
"This battle was fought well. Not only did the headquarters send a commendation telegram, but before the big sweep ended, someone from Jiang also sent a commendation telegram, praising our Eighth Route Army for its favorable support on the frontal battlefield!" Zhou Weihan said.
After hearing this, Li Yunlong curled his lips and said: "Those people in the national army have always only been able to talk and use their words to make people angry. What's the use of sending a telegram of commendation? Why not do something more affordable!"
Jing Dagang immediately responded: "That's right. Originally, I was given some French currency to show off, but now I don't even have to show off anymore. Just give me some bullets!"
"Speaking of bullets, I remembered what we captured this time. It was quite enjoyable during the battle, with planes and cannons. But when I cleaned the battlefield, I was dumbfounded. Many weapons and equipment were blown up!
"
Tan Lin smiled and glanced at Zhou Weihan. He still didn't understand what the group of people in front of him were singing in harmony. During the war, several regiments were running long distances one after another. How could they clean the battlefield? Now that the battle is over, it's time to think about the division of weapons and equipment.
Already.
"Okay, each of you will only stare at this little thing in front of you. There are countless weapons seized from the Japs. The light and heavy machine guns that each main force group lacks are all the Type 96 light machine guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns used by the Japanese army.
To make up for the machine guns, the heavy machine guns can only be organized into three companies at most!"
"If there is any loss of other weapons and equipment, what should be replenished should be replenished. There is no shortage of the main force regiments of the 38 big guns used by the Japanese army. Priority will be given to the main regiments to re-equip, and the replaced weapons and equipment will be given to the local armed forces and the local armed forces of each military division.
militia!"
"As for the mountain artillery, field artillery and artillery shells captured from the Japanese army!" Zhou Weihan said and paused: "The artillery shells can be replenished, but all mountain and field artillery must be sent to the headquarters, which will be unified and divided. This matter,
Deputy Chief of General Staff, political commissar and the three of us have already decided!"
Li Yunlong, Jing Dagang, Wu Qin, and Wang Yigong looked at each other, but no one dared to make any noise.
"If you don't say anything, do you mean you have no opinion and will implement it resolutely?" Tan Lin said with a smile.
Seeing that no one could take the lead, Li Yunlong stood up and spread cigarettes around in a circle to everyone present.
When they came to Zhou Weihan and Tan Lin, their faces were full of flattering smiles: "Comrades, political commissars, and my chiefs, you said that we are combat units at the military division level after all. If we have
It’s really unjustifiable that we don’t have a tough guy to support the scene!”
"For those who don't know, you think it's a Tuba Road drilled out of a ravine? It would be embarrassing if word spread about it!" After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he turned to look at Jing Dagang and the others: "Tell me, isn't it?"
"Yes, if we didn't have this condition, we wouldn't say anything. Now that we have this condition, we still have to set up a mountain artillery battery. This is not a high requirement!" Wu Qin was the first to agree.
"Hey, you guys are good at watching the wind and only hiding behind your back to take advantage. Look at Comrade Li Yunlong, he always says what he says and never hides it!" Tan Lin said.
"That's why I always give opinions in front of the leaders. Ah, if you get the benefits, everyone will share them. If you don't get the benefits, I will bear the blame alone. You guys are too unreasonable!" Li Yunlong is usually composed of
Come on, let's think about it, this is really the case.
Tan Lin used only one sentence to disintegrate the temporary alliance formed between Li Yunlong and others. None of them was too embarrassed to bring up the matter of a few mountain cannons.
"The Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region has both artillery regiments and heavy artillery battalions. After the war, the American mountain artillery battalions remained in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region. Let alone our other base areas of the Eighth Route Army. Looking at it, the National Army Group Army or the Japanese Army's Class A Division
, which one has such a large number of artillery, although it is currently directly under the military region, and at the same time, you can apply for deployment, why are you not satisfied?"
"Now that you have enough to eat, you can't forget your brother who was hungry with you, don't you think?" Tan Lin said.
As the political commissar, Tan Lin only talked about it for this reason. Even if Li Yunlong and others had ideas, they could only suppress them.
"Okay, let's get down to business. The general environment inside the base area is currently very stable. The strength of the surrounding Japanese troops has been severely damaged, and they will not be able to take any action against the base area for at least a year!"
"The next main task of each military division is to recuperate and cooperate with the comrades of the local government to improve people's livelihood and economic construction!"

"In view of the current expansion of the base area, the defense area should also be re-divided. In order to facilitate contact with various ministries, the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region Headquarters will be permanently stationed in the future.
In Pu County, the deputy chief of staff is still in charge of Heze!"
"The defense area of the Zhinan Military Division covers the four counties of Neihuang, Qingfeng, Nanle, and Guancheng. The New Second Brigade has one regiment, one independent regiment, and 42 regiments. Its main goal is to suppress the First Independent Mixed Brigade in Anyang.
The remaining members of the regiment will simultaneously defend the East Asia Alliance Autonomous Army to the north on the north bank of the Zhang River, and guard the New Eighth Army stationed in Chaocheng to the west."
"The defense area of the Zhangbei Military Division covers the three counties of Linzhang, Cheng'an, and Wei County. The New Fifth Brigade has three regiments, three independent regiments, and the Southern Hebei Basic Regiment. The main goal is to work with the Southern Hebei Division to contain the four
The 11th Division is developing in the south-south area of southern Hebei, and at the same time, it is moving east to contain the East Asia Alliance Autonomous Army entrenched in the Daming area."
During the great sweep, Zhou Weiguo, as the deputy chief of staff of the Hebei, Shandong and Henan Military Region, also commanded the left-behind troops of the Zhinan Military Division and the Zhangbei Military Division, totaling four regiments. He first severely damaged the East Asia Alliance Autonomous Army, and then severely damaged the Anyang Army.
Japanese and puppet troops departing.
Whether it was the East Asia Alliance Autonomous Army or the Japanese and puppet troops in Anyang, with the strength of the four regiments in Zhou Weiguo's hands at that time, there was a chance of a visiting enemy.
The two groups of enemies fought against the Eighth Route Army many times, only to lose one after another. They could only linger in their respective territories. For the Eighth Route Army, the two groups of enemies were equivalent to mobile arsenals, and their remaining role was no less than greater.
"The defense area of the Northern Henan Military Division includes Huaxian, Junxian, Puyang, Dongming and other four counties. The military division headquarters can be located in Puyang. The troops under the jurisdiction of the New Third Brigade include the 4th Regiment, the 4th Independent Regiment, and the 38th Regiment.
, the main task is to occupy the entire territory of Huaxian and Junxian, and at the same time develop towards Jixian and Yanjin to compress the living space of the 35th Division!"
"The defense area of the Southwest Shandong Military Division is mainly composed of Dingtao, Caoxian, and Chengwu counties. The New Sixth Brigade has the New First Regiment, the Second Independent Regiment, the Cavalry Regiment, the 36th Regiment, the 37th Regiment, and the 41st Regiment. From now on,
The main mission is based on Caoxian and Chengwu, radiating eastward to Shanxian and Yucheng, and at the same time assisting the brother troops of the Fourth Teaching Brigade in the Huxi base area to attack the Japanese troops in Jinxiang, Yutai, and Fengxian areas!"
"The military region headquarters is permanently stationed in Pu County, and is directly under the cavalry regiment, artillery regiment, assault regiment, 39th regiment and other directly affiliated teams. The 39th regiment is stationed in Zhencheng, and the other 35th regiment is stationed in Heze, and is personally commanded by the deputy chief of staff!"
"Comrade Zhou Weiguo no longer serves as the chief of staff of the Zhinan Military Division, but only serves as the deputy chief of staff of the military region, presiding over the daily work of the troops under the military region!" Zhou Weihan finally said.
The division of defense zones read out by Zhou Weihan is based on the current situation and future development direction of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan base area. The Zhangbei military division has basically remained unchanged, the Zhinan military division, the northern Henan military division have been slightly adjusted, and the southwestern Shandong military division has been slightly adjusted.
Partitions have the largest changes.
The expressions on everyone's faces were mixed. Zhou Weiguo had already served as the deputy chief of staff of the military region, and no one had a big reaction. After hearing this, Li Yunlong's face first felt bitter, and then he felt happy.
The bitter thing is that Zhencheng and Heze originally belonged to the Southwest Shandong Military Division, but Zhencheng was located too far north, and was separated by Heze, where the deputy chief of staff was personally in charge. Daily supplies were usually replenished from Heze.
, has little connection with the Southwest Shandong Military Division, and Zhencheng has become an enclave in disguise.
Fortunately, the Southwest Shandong Military Division now only has three counties, but it has great potential for development. Li Yunlong holds the strength of six regiments. Although the organizational structure has not been completed, he still has the numbers of the six regiments.
Li Yunlong has long been salivating over Shanxian and Yucheng, and is eager to take action as soon as possible. Now the Japanese and puppet garrison forces in the two places are empty. After the troops of the Southwest Shandong Military Division take a short rest, they can attack Shanxian and Chengwu.
.
"Okay, Lao Li, now that you don't have the Supreme Emperor on your head, you can do whatever you don't want to do in the future? It's not like me, where there is basically no room for development, and I won't be able to fight any wars in the future!" Jing Dagang said enviously.
"Hey, what you said is that we are conscious people. How can we have a supreme emperor in our Eighth Route Army? From now on, we, Lao Li, will definitely obey the orders of our superiors..."
Li Yunlong's behavior of being obedient even though he got an advantage made Jing Dagang roll his eyes.
After the meeting, everyone filed out of the conference room, with Zhou Weihan and Tan Lin walking at the back.
Under the wall of the conference room, Chi Fengnian, leader of the 35th Regiment, had been waiting for a long time. There were many cigarette butts scattered on the ground, attracting the attention of people coming and going in the headquarters.
Seeing Zhou Weihan come out of the conference room, Chi Fengnian came up to him immediately: "Commissioner, I have something to report to you!"
Zhou Weihan glanced at the time, it was almost noon: "Let's go to the cafeteria to eat together and talk while we eat!"
"Yes!" Chi Fengnian responded.
Chi Fengnian was about the same age as Zhou Weihan. Before coming to the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region, he was the deputy commander of a key cadre regiment in the Southern Hebei Military Region.
In the cafeteria, Li Yunlong and others sat at a table, while Zhou Weihan and Tan Lin sat at a table alone.
"What are you still doing? Sit down!" Zhou Weihan said to Chi Fengnian. Chi Fengnian didn't show any composure and sat down opposite Zhou Weihan.
"Aren't you in Heze? Why did you come to Pu County? If you don't report anything to the Deputy Chief of General Staff, why do you need to report it to me alone?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"Commissioner, political commissar, I reported it to the Deputy Chief of General Staff, and he agreed, but he said he needed you two leaders to also know about it, so I came to Pu County!"
"Communist, political commissar, although the main force of the 40th Regiment is gone, the number cannot be cancelled. I went to the field hospital in Heze and saw that there are still 185 wounded in the 35th Regiment. The old foundation is still there, and the 40th Regiment is still there.
It can be rebuilt!" Chi Fengnian said excitedly.
When the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region formed eight infantry regiments, the 35th Regiment and the 40th Regiment were based on the 12 combat companies and cadres supported by the Southern Hebei Military Region.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Each regiment is based on 700 to 800 veterans from six combat companies, supplemented by captured appeasement army soldiers, local armed forces and militia. The personnel establishment is at
About 1,500 people.
It can be said that the roots of these two regiments came from the Jinan Military Region, and Chi Fengnian also knew the commander and political commissar of the 40th regiment.
During the Japanese sweep, the 40th Regiment, under the command of Wu Qin, first fought with the Japanese troops of the 35th Division along the old Yellow River route in Dongming. After moving to the west of Heze, they briefly rested for one night, resulting in three
The 12th Division approached the river, and the 40th Regiment and the 35th Regiment set up defenses outside the city together.
The 40th Regiment had only about a thousand troops at that time. In order to attract the main force of the Japanese army, it was trapped in the Japanese army's encirclement and was eventually annihilated.
When Chi Fengnian mentioned the 40th Regiment, the past about the 40th Regiment quickly went through Zhou Weihan's mind. At that time, the Japanese troops were approaching the city and the situation was very critical. Only now did Zhou Weihan remember that the 35th Regiment and the 40th Regiment were supported by the Jinan Military Region.
.
The big brother of the Southern Hebei Military Region tried its best to support the Hebei, Luyu and Yu Military Regions. He wanted combat backbones for the combat backbones and a set of cadres for the cadres. This was equivalent to directly supporting two regiments. In the end, Zhou Weihan almost asked the Southern Hebei Military Region to support him.
The old foundation was all gone. If the little Japs hadn't hesitated, the 35th Regiment would have been killed by the little Japs in the end.
"In the battle to defend Heze, the 40th Regiment destroyed all its structures in order to win opportunities for the main force. It is a meritorious service. I have not forgotten the rebuilding of the 40th Regiment. After the wounded in the 40th Regiment recovered in the hospital, reconstruction began immediately.
I guarantee here that after all the wounded in the hospital recover, they will not have to return to the team, and priority will be given to the 40th Regiment!"
