Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 264
It was after nine o'clock in the morning on August 1940, 8.

Zhou Weihan held a telegram in his hand, which was the casualty situation reported by Xing Zhiguo, who had already reported the news of the evacuation of the Japanese aircraft before that.

Facing the bombing by Japanese aircraft this time, the local troops led by Xing Zhiguo suffered more than 700 casualties, more casualties than the Battle of Handan.

What is reported is a series of numbers, but behind it is a living life.

The tragedy is only known to those who have experienced it.

Throughout the battles of the Eighth Route Army, even if the battle is won, the sacrificed soldiers are just buried hastily in order to transfer faster.

In order to avoid the destruction of the Japanese army, even a single inscription was not dared to leave, so it could only be marked and left for later processing.

In most cases, the soldiers can only expose their corpses in the wilderness, without even a place to shelter. After the war, many nearby ordinary people couldn't bear their children to end up like this, and secretly found a place to bury them.

It is said that it will be dealt with in the future, but during the Anti-Japanese War, there were many large and small battles, and countless soldiers died. Those who are buried today may be killed by the enemy tomorrow.

Zhou Weihan was in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking. Zhao Gang hesitated for a long time and said, "Old Zhou, how can there be no casualties in a battle? We have fought against the enemy in these years, and there are not many comrades who died?"

"We all fight with little devils with our heads pinned to our waistbands. We live a life where there is today and no tomorrow. You always make fun of me for being a poor-faced scholar. Don't you understand the truth that kindness does not command soldiers?" Zhao Gang The political commissar used his subjective initiative and stepped forward to comfort him.

Instead, he changed from his previous polite appearance, and his words were full of iron-blooded cruelty.

"Old Zhao, I really can't believe that this came out of your mouth!" Zhou Weihan said in surprise.

"Well, people will change. After experiencing more and seeing more, they will be tired and numb. But we are commanders. Even if there is a moment of numbness and short-term discouragement, this is normal. , but after all, we must not forget the ideals in our hearts, we still have more things to do!" Zhao Gang said resolutely.

"Old Zhao, you are right!" Zhou Weihan said with gratitude.

There is no need to say too much, the two of them spend a lot of time together day and night, and one sentence is enough to explain everything.

Zhou Weihan couldn't help sighing, fortunately, he had a comrade like Zhao Gang beside him, who would always give advice and give vigilance when necessary.

Most of the introductions of the revolutionary martyrs in later generations are just a text, briefly describing their resumes and military exploits.

But who knows, the revolutionary martyrs may also have difficulties, and there have been decadent acts of revolution failure.

Revolutionary martyrs are also human beings. Facing the current collapsed situation and the unseen changes in thousands of years, there is confusion in their hearts, but in the end it is faith that overcomes confusion.

"Only if you have great ambitions, dare to teach the sun and the moon to change into a new sky!" Zhou Weihan muttered in his heart, sweeping away his previous slump, and cheered up again.

In a mountain depression in Yongping, north of Handan, Xing Zhiguo's troops are resting here.

A man about the same age as Zhou Weihan, wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, walked quickly towards the place where the troops rested through the bushes under the escort of the accompanying guards.

The soldiers in charge of security quickly ran to Xing Zhiguo to report, and Xing Zhiguo immediately got up and looked at where he came from.

"Comrade Xing Zhiguo, you are finally here, I am very worried about you!" The man walked up to Xing Zhiguo quickly and held Xing Zhiguo's right hand tightly.

"Brigade Commander Gui, when I came here, I encountered a Japanese plane, which caused many casualties. I dealt with the wounded, so I wasted time!" Xing Zhiguo explained.

Brigadier Gui of the New Ninth Brigade saw that Xing Zhiguo was not in a good mood, and said: "I also saw just now that many soldiers failed. You came out in a hurry, so you must have no medicine. A lot of medicines were seized!"

"Guardians!"

"To!"

"Go and inform the health team to come over and bandage and treat the injuries of the brother troops!" Brigadier Gui said loudly.

Xing Zhiguo wanted to say something after hearing this, but was interrupted by Brigadier Gui directly: "Zhou Weihan entrusted you to my command, then you follow my orders, I don't want to hear other nonsense!"

When the local troops set off, Zhou Weihan was equipped with a health team, but unfortunately, a bomb from a Japanese plane landed near the hiding place of the health team, and all members of the health team died.

Xing Zhiguo was not a pedantic person either, so he nodded heavily.

"Handan City has been defeated?" Brigadier Rao Gui had already learned the results of the battle from the telegram, but he still couldn't help asking face to face.

"It was defeated, and it took less than an hour to wipe out the stubborn enemies in the city!" Xing Zhiguo said.

"Good guy, this is God for your independent detachment, Handan City was taken down so easily!" Brigadier Gui was shocked when he heard this, and secretly compared the New Ninth Brigade with the independent detachment, but he never moved He had the idea of ​​attacking the Japanese army's important town.

"Brigade Commander Gui, what's the current situation near Yongping?" Xing Zhiguo brought up the topic.

"Haha, it's still thanks to your big move. Originally, the Japanese army retreated into the city. My New Ninth Brigade really couldn't do anything about them. But today, the little devils in the nearby counties have made movements, intending to gather at Linming Pass in the south of Yongping County. Going south, more than 4000 people from our department divided into three groups, aiming at the Japanese troops in Jize, Quzhou, and Yongping respectively, and they have already exchanged fire with the Japanese troops!"

"I don't have the confidence to fight the torture platform, but you are here, and it is still possible to take down Yongping and Linmingguan stations! You can't let your independent detachment stand out!" Brigadier Gui said with a smile.

"Then how do I arrange the soldiers I brought!"

"Don't worry, you guys take a rest during the day and act together with our department at night!"

The words are divided into two parts.

Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang entered Handan City here, and all the materials in the city were looted, and most of them were transported away in the first two transportations.

Many villagers saw that they were going back with empty cars, so they aimed at the stools, bed boards, and door panels of the Japanese army garrison, and even cleared out the blue bricks on the bombed city wall piece by piece and loaded them into the car.

"This is really the best use of everything!" Zhao Gang said with emotion.

In this era, in the countryside, that is, the landlord's family can buy a few brick houses made of blue bricks, and it is very good for an ordinary family to have an earthen embryo house.

"I think this is feasible. It just so happens that we will deploy a defense system for Yanwang Mountain in the future. The necessary artillery towers and bunkers are indispensable!"

"Monk, go and tell Jing Dagang to blow up all the buildings and city walls of the Japanese garrison in Xicheng, and pick out the intact blue bricks!" Zhou Weihan said.

"Old Zhou, you really pluck the wild goose and leave the skin!" Zhao Gang shook his head and laughed.

"Hey, I have a bone here, and I can squeeze out a couple of taels of oil. Besides, it can cause some trouble for the little devil, and it can also delay the time for future raids!"

　Something has happened these days, the update is really not good
