Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

After the meal, Zhou Weihan sent soldiers from the fourth company to escort the comrades from Yanzhou back to the station first.

Tan Lin understood that Zhou Weihan had something to say, and immediately let the accompanying comrades go first.

Zhou and Tan strolled on the path back to the station, followed by Monk and Tian Defu.

Then Zhou Weihan gave Tan Lin a detailed introduction to the current situation in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan area.

"Comrade Weihan, to be honest, the current situation in Hebei, Shandong and Henan is much better than what I predicted before I came here. Compared with the mess before, the recalcitrant armed forces that are now fighting with our Eighth Route Army have been completely empty. , the situation is much better, and you have contributed a lot to this!" After hearing what Zhou Weihan said, Tan Lin was quite optimistic.

"Hey, I can't talk about the credit, it's all the result of the hard work of comrades!"

Tan Lin smiled after hearing this, and continued: "According to what you said, at present, the Hebei-Shandong-Henan area is dominated by the Japanese army on the periphery, and our Eighth Route Army and the New Eighth Army are in the hinterland. Our Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region currently only occupies In Neihuang, Qingfeng, Nanle and other straight-southern triangle areas, only one battalion of the main force and local armed forces are left in southwestern Shandong to fight guerrillas relying on the mountainous areas?"

"Yes, even the armed forces in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan region were still at a disadvantage compared to the Japanese army in its heyday, so instead of spreading to various places for development, it is better to take the initiative to shrink the force and tightly clenched into a fist. If the little devil dares to come, Just beat him!"

"If you don't come here, let's take advantage of this winter and concentrate on training the troops. At the same time, we can take care of each other with the Tainan Military Region by relying on the Zhang River!" Zhou Weihan said.

"Well, it should be so. Is the New Eighth Army, which is also in the hinterland like our Eighth Route Army, reliable?"

"How can it be considered reliable? Gao Shuxun, like the vast majority of national army generals, has the idea of ​​​​preserving his strength, and even fears fighting against the Japanese army, but he does not lack national righteousness in his heart!"

"He chose to stand on the sidelines in the previous anti-stubborn battles in Hebei, Shandong and Henan. In addition, most of the grassroots soldiers and middle-level officers of the New Eighth Army were still determined to resist the Japanese. Otherwise, they would not be short of food and pay in the enemy's rear. Devils have fought for so long!"

"So, Gao Shuxun has no choice whether it is from within the Nationalist Government or the New Eighth Army. It is impossible for him to truly join hands with our Eighth Route Army to fight against the enemy, but Gao Shuxun will never Like Sun Liangcheng, he will take refuge in the little devil."

Zhou Weihan's evaluation of Gao Shuxun and the New Eighth Army is quite pertinent, and he has never denied the contribution of the National Army on the battlefield.

No matter what the national government is, if there are no soldiers of the national army to contain a large number of the main force of the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield, it will be absolutely difficult for the Eighth Route Army to open up the situation behind the enemy lines.

"In other words, Gao Shuxun and the New Eighth Army under his command can still fight for it?" Tan Lin said.

"Correct!"

"Then it seems that we need to do more work in this area in the future!" Tan Lin seemed to think of something after speaking, and took out three letters from the briefcase he carried with him.

"Your superiors already know about your personal problems. Before I came, your superiors specifically stated that you should solve your personal problems as soon as possible. You must not affect your work because of personal problems!"

"These are the three letters that No. [-] asked me to bring over. Comrade Weihan, you arrange someone to deliver them to the recipient!"

Zhou Weihan took the letter and glanced at the recipients on the envelope one by one. They were Wen Yan, Wen Qiang, and Zhou Weihan himself.

Then Zhou Weihan opened the envelope that was addressed to him, and when he took out the letter paper inside, a border ticket with a face value of [-] yuan fell out.

The letter reads:
Comrade Weihan, I already know about your personal problems with cousin Wen Qiang. I have been away from home for many years and have lost contact with my family. I am very happy to know this.

Now that you are holding an important position in the army, the personal issues with cousin Wen Qiang should be resolved as soon as possible. It is best to get married before or after the year. Personal issues must not affect future work.

The five yuan in the envelope is gift money from me and many comrades, please accept it.

Regarding the matter of Wen Yan, please pay more attention to it in the future and guide him on the right path.

Signed by: ***
After Zhou Weihan finished reading the letter, he put the letter paper and the five-yuan border ticket back into the envelope, then folded up the letter, and carefully put it in his pocket.

"How is it? Finished reading!" Tan Lin asked.

"After reading it, isn't it a bit quick to get married?" Zhou Weihan was actually very happy in his heart, but he still maintained his due reserve on the surface.

"Cut!" Tan Lin saw Zhou Weihan's careful thinking at a glance: "Hurry up, you know, special things are special!"

"Although the arranged marriages in the Qing Dynasty are not as good as the arranged marriages in the Qing Dynasty, people now pay attention to their own love, but there are many people who get married on the 26th and 24th. If I remember correctly, you are [-] years old this year, and Wen Qiang is [-] years old. They are not young. My child can use soy sauce!" Tan Lin said with a smile.

Zhou Weihan was thinking about something on his own, but Tan Lin didn't say much when he saw this.

Tan Lin and his party arrived at noon and had lunch in Sanlian. According to Zhou Weihan's intention, the comrades should take a rest first, but Tan Lin insisted on calling a meeting.

After the two returned to the station, Zhou Weihan immediately asked the monk to call over the heads of several regiments, political commissars, and political cadres at all levels, as well as comrades from the local government.

There are three meetings to be held, one is the meeting between Tan Lin and the heads of the various regiments of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, the second is the meeting of political cadres at all levels in the military region, and the third is the meeting of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Special Region Government.

The first meeting went smoothly, after all, with Zhou Weihan's support, and the political commissar candidates had already landed, no matter how reluctant everyone was in their hearts, they did not dare to refute the appointment of their superiors on the surface.

As for how to carry out future work, it still depends on Tan Lin's own ability.

Zhou Weihan didn't want to attend the follow-up political work meeting and prefectural government meeting, but Tan Linyan made it clear that although the two had a clear division of labor, how could the specific work be bypassed by Zhou Weihan, so he tried his best to invite Zhou Weihan to attend the meeting.

Since Tan Lin had just arrived, even though he learned about some situations through Zhou Weihan, he didn't act too aggressively.

At the meeting of political cadres, Tan Lin emphasized that political cadres at all levels should cooperate with military chiefs to do a good job in the ideological work of stubborn soldiers, and report problems in a timely manner.

On the contrary, at the meeting of the prefectural government, Tan Lin appointed several people from the accompanying comrades one after another, thus filling the vacancies in the posts of the prefectural government.

Winter is inherently short, and after three meetings, it was dark.

"Comrade Uyghur, where do I live?"

"Comrade Tan Lin, if you don't mind, we can live in the same room!"

"It's all old men, why don't you mind, that's it!" Tan Lin also didn't see him, picked up his luggage and threw it directly on the kang.

The current situation in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region is indeed limited. In Tainan, most of the battalions and companies under the various regiments of the Military Region have their own camps built separately.

But in Hebei, Shandong and Henan, they can only live in the homes of local villagers.
