Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 290 Explosive Soldier Plan
Two days later, the main force of the independent detachment's subordinate regiments had all returned except for a small number of troops to continue to restrain the Japanese army.

At this time Zhou Weihan's independent detachment and the first regiment had returned to the Yanwangshan base.

Wang Yigong's fourth regiment was still deployed in the west of Cixian County, Xu Dali's second regiment was deployed in Shexian County, and Wuqin's third regiment stayed in southern Hebei, expanding base areas in Feixiang and eastern Cixian County.

Li Dashen's garrison regiment was active in Wu'an and Wuyi.

Jing Dagang's regiment was still operating as a mobile regiment and moved with the headquarters.

In addition, on the second day after Zhou Weihan returned to Mount Yanwang, Xing Zhiguo withdrew from the northern part of Handan with the local armed forces composed of the county brigade, district squad and militia.

Originally Zhou Weihan meant that the independent detachment suffered a lot of casualties in successive battles, and planned to transfer some soldiers from the local armed forces to supplement the main force, but Zhao Gang put forward a different opinion.

"Old Zhou, I understand that you want to quickly restore the combat effectiveness of the troops. However, the local armed forces are under the jurisdiction of the local government and under the command of the main force during wartime. Now that the battle is over, the local armed forces should return to the counties and districts. You suddenly If it’s a few hundred people, it’s okay to say, but this time, if you don’t talk about it, you have to transfer two thousand people. It’s really a little thoughtless. It’s better to discuss this matter with Comrade Wang Ying!” Zhao Gang made it clear in a few words own attitude.

Zhou Weihan was silent, he had to admit that his previous thinking was too simple, how could he easily throw away the meat in other people's bowls.

After the battle between Tainan and the Ninety-seventh Army, Zhou Weihan ordered the regiments to pay close attention to the training of the county brigade, district squad, and militia in the defense zone when dividing the defense zones for each regiment.

At the meeting, Zhou Weihan emphasized the issue of each regiment's formation of garrison regiments in their respective defense areas. The source of troops considered at that time was local armed forces.

The military and local governments are two systems that complement each other and restrict each other.

The main force trains the local troops in accordance with the rules and regulations, and the local government replenishes the army with troops.

During the war years, the focus of work was on the army, and all resources were tilted towards the army.

The director of the Tainan District where Zhou Weihan works is Wang Ying, the superior organization is the Taihang Administrative District, and the head is Political Commissar Deng, who is always under the leadership of the Northern Bureau.

The troops stationed in the counties where the Tainan Special Zone is located include the Independent Detachment, Ding Wei's 28th Regiment, and Li Yunlong's New First Regiment.

Zhou Weihan served as the deputy director of the special area as a representative of the army, but for large-scale deployment of troops, he needed to negotiate with Wang Ying and even ask political commissar Deng for instructions.

"I'm talking about my thoughts. The most urgent task for our independent detachment is to replenish the source of troops and restore combat effectiveness. In the selection of the source of troops, it is best to give priority to local armed forces. This is also the tradition of our Eighth Route Army. Recruiting troops from the counties under Tainan The results of the recruits are too slow, and the Japanese army will not give us too much time." Xing Zhiguo, as the chief of staff, made a suggestion at this time.

"This time I took the local armed forces of nearly [-] people to the north to cooperate with the New Ninth Brigade. Objectively speaking, the gap between the local armed forces and the main force is mainly concentrated in weapons and equipment, training, and organizational rigor. The local armed forces are very different, they were issued with guns before going there, no matter how good or bad the weapons are, most people can have a gun in their hands.”

"In terms of organizational rigor, there is a detachment of guard companies serving as the backbone, and they have already put on airs. What is needed now is formal training! Let me say strike while the iron is hot, and select a group of elite fighters from the [-]-strong local army. , Immediately start training, and after the initial results are achieved, they will be assigned to each regiment!"

"Communication with superiors is also easy. The location of our independent detachment is extremely important. As the southeast gateway of the Taihang base area, it threatens the national army in the south of the Zhanghe River to the south, and guards the gate of the base area to the east. It can cut off the Ping-Han Railway of the Japanese army at any time. , always on the front line of confrontation with the Japanese army, without enough troops, how to defend the base area?"

Xing Zhiguo expressed his thoughts one by one, Zhou Weihan suddenly realized, and the messy thoughts in his mind gradually became clear.

"Damn it, I was too anxious and lost my mind, thank you Lao Xing for reminding me!" Zhou Weihan slapped his forehead and said.

"This matter is easy to handle. The three of us will work together. Chief of Staff, you are responsible for selecting the source of troops for the local troops, and then organize training immediately!"

"Old Zhao, Ding Dasuan will assist you, count the seized materials, and at the same time do a good job in the treatment of the wounded, and the aftermath of the sacrificed soldiers!"

"I'll go to Comrade Wang Ying in person to negotiate the deployment of troops. I don't think there will be any problem. Time waits for no one, so cut it first and gather later!" Zhou Weihan still had the courage to make a final decision.

After the three of them finalized, they each went to work.

Zhou Weihan found the monk and approved a note, asking him to go to the logistics department to find Ding Dasuan to pay [-] oceans.

The back mountain of Yanwang Mountain.

Ding was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and the soldiers in the logistics department were so busy that they were all dizzy.

"What, [-] oceans is not a decimal number, why pay so much!" Ding Da abacused that Zhou Weihan was the right candidate for the logistics minister, and it was not so easy to get things in his hands.

"What are you doing, how do I know? You can ask the detachment leader yourself, this is a note from the batch!" The monk pouted and slapped the note on the table.

"Hey, you Hua Monk, you just took away the [-] caps and bullets from me, and now you will turn against me. The gun you promised, it was agreed at the beginning!"

Because Ding Dasuan mentioned to Zhou Weihan that he wanted to find a wife, Zhou Weihan pushed back with one word.

As a result, when Zhou Weihan returned to Yanwang Mountain, Ding Dasuan didn't dare to report to Zhou Weihan about his work during this period.

Now when he heard the monk's words, he suddenly became angry from embarrassment, and he opened his mouth to ask the monk for the promised equipment.

"Hey, I'll return this [-] cap to you!" The monk handed the [-] cap on his shoulder to Ding Dasuan.

"You promised three things back then, and you're still short of two!" Ding Dasuan said resolutely.

"Don't worry, my monk's words are always spittle and nails, I will use the little devil's command saber!" The monk said, taking out a command saber from Tian Defu's arms, and then said: "This is the command saber of a little devil major , it’s finally all right!”

Satisfied, Ding Dasuan pulled out his saber, and rubbed his fingers on the blade.

"Not bad, good stuff!"

In the independent detachment, cadres at the regiment level can collect the Zuoguan Dao as trophies, and the Zuoguan Dao at the level of Zhongzuo and Dazuo are handed over to the division headquarters and headquarters.

On the same day, Zhou Weihan went to the Tainan District Office to find Wang Ying.

The office is in Yetao Town in the northeast of She County.

When Wang Ying heard that Zhou Weihan came to the door in person, she was very surprised and immediately put down the work at hand.

"Old Zhou, you are a rare visitor. After the war, the independent detachment needs you to deal with so many things, and you still have time to come to my place? I think there is nothing to go to the Three Treasure Hall. Tell me, what's the matter?" Wang Ying smiled. said.

"Yan Wangshan has a political commissar and chief of staff. It must be a big deal for me to find you!" Zhou Weihan smiled, and then glanced at the monk.

The monk got the signal and led the people to unload the four big boxes of silver dollars from the carriage in the yard.

"I really have something to do with you this time. During this period of fighting, the troops suffered a lot of casualties. I discussed it with the political commissar and the chief of staff. We need to replenish some soldiers from the local troops to the main force!" Zhou Weihan said sincerely.

"I thought what's the matter, it's worth you to come over in person? Just send an officer over and let me know!" Wang Yingman said nonchalantly.

While speaking, four large boxes containing silver dollars were brought in and placed on the ground with a dull sound.

Wang Ying stood up and said, "Old Zhou, what does this mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything else. Our Tainan Special Zone was established in early August, followed by troop training, and the raid on the Japanese railway. This is funding. The Tainan Special Zone has such a large stall, so it always needs funds!" Zhou Weihan explained.

"Oh, I'm really ashamed. Raising funds has always been our local business, and now we still need your assistance!"

Wang Ying's hair was going gray during this time, but the food in the Tainan area was fine. The villagers had a bumper harvest of food because of the chemical fertilizers.

Other materials such as medicines and cloth made Wang Ying suffer. Some patriots donated materials that could not reach the Eighth Route Army because of the interception of the Nationalist Government.

The National Government cut off the Eighth Route Army's military pay, and the local government could only raise funds on the spot.

Before the establishment of the Tainan Special Zone, Zhou Weihan's independent detachment handed over the seized money, food and materials to the division headquarters and headquarters.

After the establishment of the Tainan Special Zone, Zhou Weihan will continue to hand over the materials to the division headquarters and headquarters after the materials are guaranteed to the Tainan Special Zone first.

Zhou Weihan's words are beautiful, but Wang Ying is not easy to fool.

Looking at the silver dollars in front of him, Wang Ying gradually recovered, and then said: "Zhou Weihan, let me ask you first, how much do you want to draw from the local armed forces?"

Seeing Wang Ying's question, Zhou Weihan stretched out three fingers, and said directly, "Not many, three thousand people are tentative!"

"What? [-] people? It's still tentative! That's not much?" Wang Ying shook her head immediately, and continued: "When the main force is all off-duty for training, your independent detachment can afford to support so many soldiers. At that time, I can There is not enough food to supply!"

"I'm talking about Comrade Wang Ying, you worked with Zhou Weihan and me before the establishment of the Tainan Special Zone. Don't you know the background of my independent detachment? It's completely self-sufficient!"

"I've always had a big appetite and a big job, you don't have to worry about that!" Zhou Weihan said.

"Okay, I figured it out now. Why did you come here with the funds? You wanted to gag me!" Wang Ying pointed at Zhou Weihan, looking as if he had been tricked.

"Well, I admit that your independent detachment can be self-sufficient, and you don't need to share too much pressure from the local government, but the troops stationed in the Tainan area also have the Xinyi Regiment and the 28th Regiment, Wuyi, Wu'an, Shexian, Licheng, Lu The county brigades and district squads in the counties of Chengcheng and Cixian only have about [-] people, and the soldiers from each village add up to about [-]!"

"This is just the statistics before the war. You need 28 people to open your mouth. Needless to say, you must choose elite fighters. You have picked them all. The [-]th regiment and the new regiment What should we do? How can the joint defense policy of each county and village continue to be implemented?" Wang Ying wrung her fingers to settle the account for Zhou Weihan.

"Your independent detachment is the main force and will be transferred at any time. Once you are transferred away, the elite of the local armed forces will be picked away. What will happen to the local mass work and guerrilla warfare? At that time, you will pat your ass and leave. I have a headache alone!"

Seeing that Wang Ying disagreed, Zhou Weihan continued: "Well, I will make a concession. I only need [-] people to choose from the local armed forces in the joint operation with my independent detachment! Most of them are militiamen, that's all right. Bar!"

After hearing this, Wang Ying thought for a while: "In principle, I agree. After all, the Tainan District relies on your independent detachment to make a living, but there is still one requirement!"

"During this period of time, I can see that your independent detachment is the heart of the headquarters. The chiefs are dedicated to the tip of the knife. If you don't see it, you will be transferred away. I plan to set up two to three basic groups. You are gone. , it’s good to have someone to take over!”

Zhou Weihan thought to himself, it seems that the counties in Tainan really harvested a lot of grain during the autumn harvest.

"The command right of the core regiment is still under the command of your independent detachment, but you can't take it away, you have to stay in Tainan! Weapons and equipment, you can figure out a way, and the local government will provide money and food. How about it?" Wang Ying looked at Zhou Weihan sat there without saying a word, and continued to add chips.

"That's it, I'm worrying about not having enough troops! Don't worry, within half a year, I'll pull out three basic regiments for you!" Zhou Weihan said, patting his chest.

"Now that it's finalized, let's send a joint telegram to Mr. Liu and Political Commissar Deng to report the matter!" Wang Ying finally said.

Zhou Weihan naturally had no objection and nodded in response.

Zhou Weihan and Wang Ying, as the two representatives of the army and the government in the Tainan region, have every right to finalize this matter.

But this also needs to be reported to Mr. Liu and Political Commissar Deng as the superiors.

Zhou Weihan fully understands Wang Ying's "selfishness". It is the duty of every cadre to be prepared for danger in times of peace and to plan for a rainy day.

As the director of the Tainan Special Zone, it is normal for Wang Ying to think about the future of the Tainan Special Zone.

Shortly after.

The division headquarters sent telegrams back and forth, and the telegram agreed to the plan, specifically stating that this matter can be dealt with in detail.

"Hey, people are more angry than people. You, Zhou Weihan, have a lot of face with your superiors. I thought you would have to wait until night to recover!" Wang Yingcha said unevenly.

"You are an old comrade after all, but you actually arranged for your superiors behind your back, specifying that there is something wrong with your thinking!" Zhou Weihan said seriously.

Wang Ying looked at Zhou Weihan's appearance of being beaten up, and couldn't help but opened his mouth and cursed: "Fuck you, don't put a hat on me, what's wrong with the old comrade, the old comrade is also a human being, can't complain anymore?"

The two smiled at each other.

"Mr. Liu and Political Commissar Deng really dote on your independent detachment, but it's also true. A unit that can fight and hand in supplies and equipment, which superior doesn't think it's a treasure!" Wang Ying said with emotion.

"Okay, the matter is done, I'm going back now, there are still a lot of things waiting for me!" Zhou Weihan watched the sun go down, planning to return quickly.

"You prepare the food for the three basic regiments in advance, so don't catch them when the time comes!"

"Don't worry, Tainan lacks everything except food!"
