Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 566 Get some money for running errands, the old man handed down orders

Fan Hanjie, including everyone in the [-]th Army, never thought that he would be able to return to Changzhi on the day of the retreat.

Therefore, after the [-]th Army retreated from Changzhi, it went to Gaoping, south of Changzhi. Many soldiers of the [-]th Army were on their way back to Changzhi from Gaoping.

The compound of the military headquarters of the [-]th Army did not appear to be too messy. Obviously, it was not chaotic when the [-]th Army retreated. When they entered the military headquarters, there were traces of burning documents everywhere.

Outside, Fan Hanjie's guards quickly dispersed to guard several important places around the military headquarters.

"Everyone, sit in the meeting room first!" Fan Hanjie said.

Everyone was seated, Fan Hanjie took the main seat as the host, Zhou Weihan, as the representative of the Eighth Route Army, took the first position on the left, Xing Zhiguo and Xing Zhaotang followed closely, followed by Li Jiayu, the commander of the 187th Army, and Li Jiayu, the commander of the [-]th Division.

The first position on the right is Shu Rong of the 89th Division, followed by the deputy commander of the [-]th Army, two division commanders, and finally Pang Bingxun, the commander of the [-]th Army.

This order of positions reflects the status of everyone from the side. Those on the left are all outside the factions of the Central Army, the Eighth Route Army, the Sichuan Army, and although Xing Zhaotang is the deputy commander of the New Fifth Army, they are at most just an addition.

The row on the right is the direct line of the Central Army. Although the Forty Army is not considered the Central Army, Pang Bingxun has only followed Fan Hanjie's orders recently.

"Zhou **, although I have been away from Changzhi for less than a day, I would like to ask you to explain the current situation in Changzhi, Licheng and Lucheng!"

Zhou Weihan nodded with a smile after hearing this, talked about the situation around Changzhi, and finally said: "The remaining enemies in the city have been wiped out, but there are still nearly [-] Japanese soldiers entrenched in Licheng and Lucheng. We are looking for fighters to lure them to Changzhi for reinforcements!"

As he said that, Zhou Weihan looked at Chen Sunong, the commander of the Eighth Division on the opposite side: "When my department was fighting the Japanese army in the city, I found a death squad left by the Eighth Division in the city. There are still more than a hundred officers and soldiers. I have arranged for them Rest!"

Since Chen Sunong entered the city, he has been worried about the Death Squad who voluntarily left behind, but he has no chance to ask Zhou Weihan about it.

The heart that was hanging at this time finally fell down. Although the casualties were heavy, but at least they stayed. I saw Chen Sunong stood up and saluted Zhou Weihan solemnly: "Mr. Zhou, thank you!"

"Mr. Chen is serious. They are all soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed for the country and the nation. How can we talk about thanking words!"

Afterwards, Fan Hanjie continued: "If there are a large number of Japanese troops stationed in Licheng and Lucheng, for both of you and me, it will be like a stab in the throat, and it will be very good to be wiped out!"

"Unfortunately, our 89th Army has suffered heavy casualties and is no longer able to fight the Japanese army. The same goes for the [-]th Division and the [-]th Army. If your army needs support, I can send a part of the [-]th Army to help. There are still Japanese troops entrenched, and our department still needs troops to guard!"

There was not much sincerity in Fan Hanjie's words, Zhou Weihan didn't reply immediately, instead he took out his cigarettes and passed them around, and then he lit a cigarette on his own, leaning back and leaning on the seat The back of the chair.

Before coming, Zhou Weihan and Xing Zhiguo had already predicted their attitude towards the successive arrivals of the national army, and they had also discussed it.

Xing Zhiguo saw that the atmosphere was a little cold, and said bluntly: "Commander Fan, our troops are also casualties, and the ammunition is almost exhausted, but how can the people of Licheng and Lucheng continue to fall into the clutches of the Japanese army, just"

"Hey, it's easy to talk about the ammunition. It just so happens that the [-]th Division's supplies are cut off this month. I'll report back to the first theater and send out supplies for three months at once. What do you think?"

After Xing Zhiguo heard this, he looked at Zhou Weihan, but Zhou Weihan looked like an old god.

"But the long-distance water can't quench the near-thirst. I can't wait for the supplies to arrive before fighting with the little devil. I'm afraid I can't afford it because people eat horse chews every day!" Xing Zhiguo said with a simple and honest face.

Honest people are always so easy to arouse goodwill when they speak, but Fan Hanjie went on to say: "Well, before the Japanese army came, some of the ammunition and food in my department had been evacuated out of the city in advance. I will gather the combat supplies of the three regiments first." , is this all right?"

"Hey, Lao Xing, Commander Fan and the others are not rich. It's almost there. By the way, Commander Fan. Our Taiyue and Taibei military regions of the Eighth Route Army are still fighting with the Japanese army. The losses are also not small. If they don't work, they will lose all their wealth. It’s over, I have to give you some money for running errands!” Zhou Weihan finally spoke, with the same meaning inside and out, not enough things.

"For the help of your army, I am very grateful, I can only take out six more regiments of supplies now!"

"Okay, Commander Fan is really generous, well, don't forget the three-month supply of the [-]th Division!" Zhou Weihan reminded worriedly.

Fan Hanjie looked at Zhou Weihan with sullen eyes, thinking that this guy is still the one who didn't take advantage of it enough.

After that, Fan Hanjie didn't mention the Japanese heavy artillery, so Zhou Weihan naturally wouldn't rush to bring it up.

The target of the Japanese army this time was the [-]th Army in Changzhi, but the Eighth Route Army proceeded from the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War and gave their all to help. There were three secondary military regions that directly participated in the war.

After the war, the head of the Eighth Route Army headquarters naturally couldn't argue with the national army because of some supply issues, so Zhou Weihan still needed to do this kind of thing.

In fact, all the units of the Eighth Route Army participating in the war were basically at a loss, especially the units in the two military regions of Taiyue and Taibei.

The Tainan Military Region was a bit better. It fought a few battles of annihilation in the early stage, and the Japanese army also consumed a lot of ammunition in the later stage. Just judging from the seizures of the left behind troops in the Japanese army city, there were quite a lot of guns, but not much ammunition was captured.

During the conversation, Zhou Weihan heard people coming in and out of the conference room one after another, and understood that the [-]th Army had already entered the city.

Simply reaping a wave of benefits, he stopped writing at the moment, and said bluntly: "Everyone, my department still has combat missions that have not been completed, so I will not accompany you. Commander Fan, arrange personnel for handover!"

Zhou Weihan and Xing Zhiguo left with Chen Sunong, the commander of the Eighth Preliminary Division. As the deputy commander of the New Fifth Army, Xing Zhaotang had no way to escape, and Xing Zhaotang also wanted to take the opportunity to inquire.

After Zhou Weihan left, Fan Hanjie finally had a smile on his sullen face just now, and then solemnly took out a telegram: "The headmaster's note said that all the ministries in Changzhi have achieved remarkable results in the war, and all the soldiers are brave and fearless. There is a reward!"

"In addition, from now on, the 89th Division of the [-]th Army will be incorporated into the [-]th Army and will be stationed in Huguan. The designation of the New Fifth Army will be cancelled, and the rest will be reorganized into local security regiments. Xing Zhaotang will take up the post of security officer in the Changzhi area."

As soon as this remark came out, Shu Rong of the 89th Division did not have too many surprises. He did not follow the commander's order and led the troops to attack without authorization. The Thirteenth Army would definitely not be able to return.

Xing Zhaotang didn't show any surprise either. Old Jiang had been attacking the troops of the local faction repeatedly. How could he miss such a good opportunity at this time.
