Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 444 Dress up, reorganize please subscribe

The confrontation between the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army in Lin County was the most relaxed around Changzhi. Therefore, Zhou Weihan let Zhang Hao's Lin County Guerrilla Brigade occupy the north of Lin County from east to west.

After accepting the territory of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in the west of Linbei, Linbei immediately bordered on the defense zone of Xu Dali's Second Regiment, and the territory of Tainan Second Division was also completely connected.

Once there is a change in Yang Han's 280th regiment, the second regiment can also quickly support it.

However, the [-]st Division of the [-]th Army stationed in Linbei to the west and Huguan was separated by the Linli Mountains, with the mountains as a buffer zone, and the spheres of influence of the two sides did not border each other.

Of course, before going north, Zhou Weihan repeatedly told Zhang Hao not to take it lightly at this critical juncture.

Then Guo Huaiwu's 29th Regiment followed Zhou Weihan quickly to the north.

That night, the troops arrived at Yanwang Mountain.

Since the leadership of the military region did not expect that the 29th regiment would go to Yanwang Mountain for training, they did not prepare the camp in advance.

In the end, Zhao Gang vacated the camp of a regiment stationed at the foot of the mountain, leaving it to the 29th regiment as a camp, and the other regiment was scattered in nearby villages.

"Comrade Huaiwu, Comrade Fanyu, this is Zhao Gang, political commissar of our Tainan Military Region, and Xing Zhiguo, chief of staff!"

"This is Guo Huaiwu, the head of the 29th regiment, and Hu Fanyu, the chief of staff!" Zhou Weihan introduced to everyone present.

Zhao Gang stepped forward to hold Guo Huaiwu's hand enthusiastically: "Oh, comrades, we have all heard about your heroic deeds of resisting the Japanese and fighting devils in the Linbei mountainous area. I admire you very much. Welcome to join the Eighth Route Army!"

"Ashamed, ashamed, we were just playing around, you are political commissar Zhao, I have heard Brother Zhang Hao a long time ago, no, it was Comrade Zhang Hao who said that political commissar Zhao is capable of both literature and martial arts, and he is a rare talent !" Guo Huaiwu also did not show weakness in the face of Zhao Gang's flattery.

Who doesn't like to hear nice words, Zhao Gang is obviously very useful.

"It's all over, Old Zhao, comrades have traveled all day, are the meals ready?" Zhou Weihan stepped forward to interrupt the mutual flattery of the two.

"Get ready, just wait for comrades!"

"Then stop talking nonsense and eat quickly, I'm hungry!"

One regiment's camp at the foot of the mountain was built by itself, enough to accommodate four thousand people, and it was more than enough to house the 29th regiment, which had a small number of two thousand people.

In the camp, Zhao Gang's staff set up more than [-] cauldrons early in the morning, and prepared only one dish in the evening, chicken nuggets and stewed potatoes.

Zhou Weihan called everyone to eat quickly: "Comrades, don't be too polite, go home when you get here, open your belly to eat, enough!"

"Okay!" The soldiers of the 29th regiment responded loudly.

Zhou Weihan went forward and took a sea bowl, asked the rice cooker to fill a bowl of rice, and brought two spoonfuls of vegetables, and then found a barracks wall and sat down.

Afterwards, Zhao Gang and the others also followed. Guo Huaiwu swiped the chopsticks in the bowl a few times, and then said: "It's really enjoyable. I've heard Zhang Hao say that our Eighth Route Army's food is good. Now I really believe it, no Let me tell you guys, in the past two years, we rarely have a full stomach on the mountain!"

"Only before the battle, can the brothers open their bellies and eat!"

"Comrade Huaiwu, don't worry, I can't guarantee anything else. In our Eighth Route Army, it's not a problem to have a full stomach!" Zhao Gang directly made a guarantee.

"That's a good relationship!" Guo Huaiwu grinned.

Before the 29th Regiment would go north for training, the military region did not have a plan. Now that all the parties involved are present, Zhou Weihan also took the opportunity of eating to mention it: "Old Zhao, didn't the clothing factory modify a batch of Japanese military uniforms? The abacus said, take out 29 sets of new military uniforms for the soldiers of the [-]th regiment to change their outfits!"

"Okay, the general uniforms will be distributed to the soldiers tomorrow morning!"

This meant that a lot of Japanese military uniforms were seized. Otherwise, according to the expansion speed of the troops in the Tainan Military Region, the production speed of the clothing factory might not be able to catch up.

On the way to the north, Zhou Weihan also saw that the weapons and equipment of the 29th regiment were far from reaching the level of a gun in each hand. At least [-] or [-] soldiers were still holding large knives, and some guns even had their rifling smoothed out.

However, all the weapons and equipment in the arsenal under the jurisdiction of Ding Dasuan were allocated to the newly formed recruits, and there was no stock on Yanwang Mountain.

In addition to handing over the captured weapons and equipment to the headquarters, most of the remaining weapons and equipment are stored in the combat readiness warehouses of the three military divisions.

"Old Guo, the weapons and equipment of your 29th regiment will be dispatched in two days!" Zhou Weihan said to Guo Huaiwu.

"Weapons and equipment don't matter. Without guns, big knives can still swing wildly!"

"Let me tell you, don't underestimate those brothers with big swords. This is my carefully selected big sword team, specially for hand-to-hand combat with little devils!" Guo Huaiwu said quite proudly.

"That's right, this is the housekeeping skill of the 29th Army!" Zhou Weihan laughed.

"It's easy to talk about other things. Who is the political commissar of our 29th regiment? Let me know him?"

"Don't worry about this matter. Your political commissar of the 29th regiment is still studying at the cadre school. During this period of political work, let our political commissar Zhao take the lead!" Zhou Weihan pointed at Zhao Gang.

"Hey, that's appropriate, then when will we go to the cadre school to study?"

"Let's take this matter for a while. After the soldiers have stabilized and adapted to the environment, you guys can go!"

"Okay, I listen to you!"

Whether each unit of the Eighth Route Army can fight a tough battle and how effective it is, the upper limit depends on the military chief, but the lower limit depends on the political chief.

Still the same sentence, the expansion of the troops of the Tainan Military Region is too fast. From the beginning of the new second regiment to the present, it has been less than a year since it was fully occupied.

The newly promoted cadres, whether they are in charge of military affairs or political work, are relatively inexperienced, and it is really impossible to select a suitable political commissar for the 29th regiment.

However, Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang had long been interested in the specific candidates for the political commissar of the 29th regiment.

A comrade who was previously rescued from a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp was engaged in political work in the army during the Red Army period.

Zhao Gang had a special conversation with him, and his ability was qualified. The key was that he had no opinion on the adapted anti-Japanese armed forces, which was the basis for future work.

It's just that this comrade was physically tortured in the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp before, and he still needs to take advantage of the opportunity to study in the cadre school to recuperate for a period of time before he can take office.

In the next period of time, with the active cooperation of Guo Huaiwu and others, the 29th regiment first completed the refitting, and then reorganized the troops and replaced their weapons and equipment. More than 1900 people were reorganized into 12 recruit companies and a heavy machine gun company.

The political cadres of each company were quickly deployed, and each company was additionally equipped with cultural teachers.

Zhao Gang, who had just been idle for a while, became a bully horse again, staying in the 29th Regiment all day long to gain an in-depth understanding of the actual situation of the soldiers.

Zhou Weihan transferred a group of backbones from the first regiment to serve as temporary instructors during the daily training of the 29th regiment.
