"Everyone, I won't say any more nonsense. You are all heroes who fought against the Japanese on the battlefield. If you are willing to follow our Eighth Route Army to fight against the Japanese, I welcome them with both hands. If you want to go back to the old army, I will not force you. I will pack them up.
I’ll give you some dry food,” Zhou Weihan said loudly.
"Sir, can I ask? Where is the 47th Army now?" Yang Xiansheng asked.
Zhou Weihan glanced at Yang Xiansheng approvingly, and said to himself that he was afraid you wouldn't ask: "The Forty-seventh Army, under the leadership of Commander Li, is currently stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River and has always been in contact with our Eighth Route Army."
"The Central Army has withdrawn to the Zhongtiao Mountain area, and most of the Shanxi-Sui Army is in western Shanxi. As for the specific location of your army, I don't know. The little devils are now very strict in blockade, and there is a lack of contact between various ministries."
"Brother Ge, you are not fighting the Japanese. Brothers, although you are not all from our 624th Regiment, we are all Sichuan Army after all. Listen to my brother's advice and just stay and fight the Japanese with the Eighth Route Army." Yang Xiansheng turned around and shouted at
A group of Sichuan Army soldiers said.
"Brothers, Zhongtiao Mountain is too far, and there is a Japanese blockade in the middle. With our current situation, we may collapse if we can't find the old troops. We might as well stay, what do you think?" Wang Yigong reacted after hearing this.
He said with determination.
"Captain Wang, we listen to you, as long as we can beat the little Japs."
"Sir, can I ask which department you are in?" a voice came from the crowd.
Zhou Weihan took a closer look and saw, isn't this Wei Dayong? Others were a little weak after being tortured by the little devils, but this guy is great, he is 1.8 meters tall, has a strong body, and stands out from the crowd.
Zhou Weihan said with a smile: "Let me formally introduce Zhou Weihan, commander of the new second regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army."
"The 386th Brigade? Commander Zhou, is it the 386th Brigade that completely wiped out the Bantian Regiment?" Wei Dayong asked.
"Yes, do you know about this?" Zhou Weihan asked curiously.
"I heard from my brothers in the prisoner of war camp that they killed Captain Bantian and completely annihilated Bantian. How could I not have heard of it! Our 27th Division was defeated by Bantian at Xinkou. Please help me.
We have avenged our great revenge, and I, Wei Dayong, am willing to join the Eighth Route Army." Wei Dayong said.
The 27th Division that Wei Dayong mentioned was the 27th Division of the 42nd Army under Sun Lianzhong's Second Group Army. The 27th Division had always belonged to Sun Lianzhong's army, first in the 42nd Army, and later in the 30th Army. Like the 29th Army, it came from Feng Yuxiang's unit of the Northwest Army.
It's just that the 29th Army actually maintained a semi-independent state after the Central Plains War and was stationed in North China. Sun Lianzhong's troops have been under the command of the Central Army and participated in combat after surrendering to the Central Army. But in fact, Sun Lianzhong's troops are still in the eyes of the Central Army.
It is a miscellaneous unit. They will be sent as cannon fodder in every battle. If they are lost, they will not be replaced much. After a period of reorganization, the unit will continue to be downsized.
They participated in the Battle of Xinkou, the Battle of Taierzhuang and related battles at the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains. They were also transferred to General Zhang Zizhong's 33rd Group Army and Jiang Defense Army Headquarters, etc., and continued to participate in related combat operations in the Fifth Theater, including the Battle of Wuhan.
, followed by the Battle of Zao, the Battle of Zaoyi, the Battle of Southern Henan, the Second Battle of Changsha, etc., and they were almost always followed.
In the end, only the 27th Division and the 31st Division of the 30th Army were left among Sun Lianzhong's troops.
Zhou Weihan knew something about military history. Thinking of the glorious achievements of the 27th Division, he patted Wei Dayong on the shoulder and said, "You 27th Division are great. From now on, you can stay with me as a guard."
"Sir Zhou, if you give me the face, I will definitely keep it in your pocket. You can't tell me," Wei Dayong said while touching his head.
"When you join our Eighth Route Army, you don't need to call me "Sir". We value equality between officers and soldiers. Just call me "Regiment Commander".
"Yes, leader." In this way, Wei Dayong became Zhou Weihan's bodyguard.
In the end, except for a few soldiers of the Jinsui Army who insisted on going back to look for the old army, everyone else agreed to join the new second regiment.
Zhou Weihan then reorganized them, but because they were not familiar with each other, there was no mixing.
The Central Army has more than 500 troops, organized into the first company and the second company of the reserve battalion. The company commanders are Wang Yigong and Zhang Hao respectively.
The Sichuan Army's troops, with more than 200 people, were organized into the third company of the reserve battalion, with company commander Yang Xiansheng.
The Jinsui Army's troops of more than 200 people were reorganized into the fourth company of the reserve battalion. Company commander Han Zhiqian, and those who were leaving were also temporarily organized into the team to facilitate management.
More than 300 fraternal troops of the Eighth Route Army were reorganized into the fifth company of the reserve battalion, with company commander Gao Zhiheng and deputy company commander Gan Caisheng.
It is worth mentioning that Gao Zhiheng was captured together with more than 20 reserve cadres from the 115th Division's teaching brigade. Once these people are put to good use, they will become a main force battalion at least.
"Each company will be repairing here for three days, and then the captured weapons will be distributed to you." Zhou Weihan said loudly.
"Captain, I want to report a situation to you. There was an elite unit of Japs here before. There were less than a hundred people, but they were well-trained. Many brothers in the prisoner of war camp died. Isn't it too dangerous for us to repair here?
Yes." Wei Dayong reported.
"Don't worry, the Yamamoto special agent team you mentioned has been killed by me." Zhou Weihan said.
According to the current situation in Heshun County, most of the Japs' troops are contained in Taohua Mountain and cannot be divided into battles. Before the battle to attack the mine begins, Zhou Weihan has asked Li Daben and others to cut off the telephone lines to Heshun County.
Heshun County probably didn't even know that the mine had changed hands. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of traitors or intelligence agents discovering this situation.
In short, when soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the soil will cover them up. Zhou Weihan knew the situation of Heshun very clearly.
Then Zhou Weihan took the initiative to find Gao Zhiheng and Gan Caisheng to understand the situation. After all, brother troops could not be integrated just by saying they were integrated.
"Regiment leader" Gao Zhiheng and Gan Caisheng saw Zhou Weihan coming and saluted him with a military salute.
After getting to know each other, I found out that the two of them had left the army for more than a year.
"Captain Gao, Commander Gan, you stay here with me first. I will report your situation to the 129th Division Headquarters and ask the division headquarters to contact the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. However, the troops have changed a lot this year. You must have
Psychological preparation." Zhou Weihan said, and then gave them a detailed introduction to the changes in the Eighth Route Army's troops in the past year.
In the past year, various units of the Eighth Route Army have expanded rapidly. It is very likely that the original units have been split off to form new teams, especially the teaching brigade where Gao Zhiheng is located. The more than 20 cadres are treasures everywhere. This is the 115th Division Nie
Zhou Weihan didn't dare to make his own decisions because of the boss's heartache. Some things were better left to consultation with his superiors.
In this attack on the mine, the New Second Regiment eliminated 54 people from a Japanese squad, 212 people from the overseas escort team, and captured more than 350 puppet soldiers.
Three 99-type sniper rifles, 28 38-type rifles, more than 430 Jin-made 38-type rifles, 7 Jin-made Czech sniper rifles, and 4 grenade launchers were seized. Because the bullets daily equipped by the escorts and puppet troops were
It's not much, so there are more than 20,000 rounds of bullets of various calibers and a few other supplies.
Unfortunately, the two Type 92s specially strengthened by the mine and the crooked handles brought by the team were blown up as soon as the battle started.
After Zhou Weihan completed counting the equipment seized in Jingdagang, he distributed it directly to each company.
