The strongest militia

() Since the river defense unit left Qing County, the city defense officer, Major General Gu Gu, has been putting the troops below into first-level combat readiness.He knew very well that with the temper of the militia column, it would be impossible to avenge the common people without finding the culprit of the River Defense Regiment.What he needs to do now is to give the opponent as fast support as possible when he gets the news of the attack on the river defense unit.

It's just that he never expected that the North China Militia Column's revenge against the River Defense Regiment would come so quickly. Colonel Shangcao took thousands of soldiers from the River Defense Regiment to set sail. The sound of rumbling shelling came from the direction of the river not far from the county.

Just as he got up and was about to walk out of the room to see where it was under such heavy shelling, the adjutant who hurried over said with a look of horror on his face: "Your Excellency, the river defense unit sent a request for help just now, saying that they are entering the entrance of Baiyangdian waters. He was under heavy shelling by the Chinese troops. This telegram was cut off only half way through, do you think we dispatched troops to rush over to ask them for help?"

Sure enough, the vengeance of these militiamen is really strong!

Yata, who lamented the quick action of the militia column, thought for a while and said: "Order the First Infantry Battalion to set off immediately for support, and tell Yamaguchi-kun that if he encounters obstacles on the road, let him decide whether to rush to help according to the situation. If you listen If there is no shelling from the other party, let him immediately lead his troops back to the county seat. Remember my order clearly?"

The adjutant seemed a little confused at first, but after seeing the hint in the eyes of the valley, he quickly replied: "Remember clearly, I will pass on your order immediately."

But what no one expected was that the garrison in the nearby county, which had received the distress telegram from the river defense unit, had just assembled and was about to leave the city, when they heard the sound of the cannons resounding through the sky just now, and it miraculously stopped.As a result, many reinforcement commanders who had the same thoughts as Shan Shantai didn't know whether it was necessary to continue to go out of the city to ask for help.

When they felt that they should feel more comfortable, so as not to be criticized by the North China Garrison Command, what awaited them was the harassment of a small group of militiamen in the militia column.Originally they were able to force their way through, but after more reinforcements chose to counterattack, they quickly returned to the city.

As for the river defense unit, these army-born garrison troops chose to ignore them more.Compared with rushing over now and not knowing whether the river defense unit can be rescued, they are more worried about the lack of defenders in the county, and the demolition brigade of the militia column will take advantage of it.If they can't save the river defense unit, they will be reprimanded at most. If the county seat is lost, what awaits them is probably not as simple as being scolded.Which end is light and which end is heavy, these Japanese army commanders are very clear in their hearts.

What's more, the recent crazy revenge of the militia columns has caused headaches for the garrisons in many counties.Regarding the main culprit of the River Defense Regiment, which annoyed the militia column, they felt that as long as the militia column got angry, the battle to sneak around the supply line would come to an end. Presumably the militiamen in the militia column don't want to miss it, and these Japanese garrison defenders who suffer from a lack of supplies also want to stop for a while.This kind of unconscious cooperation made the river defense unit pay for their crimes and be wiped out.

Compared with these nearby counties, the Japanese army did not work hard and took off in a hurry to support the Japanese army planes. When they flew over the river, what they saw was a messy and bloody scene.As for the so-called artillery of the River Defense Wing that was bombed by at least one brigade-level artillery unit, the Japanese pilots who circled around for a few times did not even find a shadow of the artillery.

He had no choice but to turn the plane around and fly back to the airport, notifying the headquarters of the North China Garrison that the river defense unit that had been formed with great difficulty had been completely destroyed.Because, the entire river course is floating with the corpses of soldiers killed by the Japanese army, as well as the wreckage of ships that were paralyzed in place or sunk or half sunk.

In addition, there were no traces of ships traveling in the river in front of it, and the river in the back was also blocked by a row of wooden boats.Without having to go in for reconnaissance, these Japanese pilots also know what the end of this river defense unit will be.

Seeing that the Japanese aircraft had left, the militia troops concealed in the reed marshes seized the time to transfer the damaged ships on the river.Some fishermen with good water quality dived into the river with ropes, tied up the sunken or semi-sunken ships, and after a few tugboats thawed the river, when the newly formed Japanese river defense force came to salvage the wreckage , Didn't even get a piece of scrap iron at all.This shows how carefully the militia column cleaned the battlefield.

The annihilation of the river defense unit meant that the revenge war that lasted for nearly a month came to an end. After paying homage to the victims with some Japanese corpses salvaged, Deng Chenggong also issued an order to stop all battles.All of a sudden, the whole of North China fell into a state of tranquility again. The militia column and the little devils in the county began to enter into a confrontation of "I control the countryside and you control the county, and the well water does not violate the river water".

In this revenge battle, the militia column paid nearly 2000 casualties, but also wiped out nearly [-] little devils.Moreover, during the battle, a large number of special supplies for the little devils were seized.Those materials and equipment transferred and dismantled from the ri military factory and mine allowed the militia column's strategic material reserves to suddenly return to its peak period.

As for the loss of the little devil, it can't be described simply as casualties.For this reason, after the festival, the commander Mei Yan also officially announced his resignation.As for the successor, it is someone else.

Compared with the militia column, which has gained a lot from this revenge battle, the Eighth Route Army, which is fighting with the supply line, is equally happy.At the cost of weak casualties, through this revenge operation, the soldiers have not only trained their experience in winter combat in North China, but also harvested a large number of military and civilian supplies.Let them suddenly change from the situation that they still need the support of the militia column to the extra harvest materials, which will be given back to the People's Party headquarters far in the northwest.It can be said that if you earn favors, you will also gain benefits.

This retaliatory battle launched by the militia column at the end of 38, although the little devil suffered heavy losses, also made all the North China Japanese army understand that this militia column was far more difficult and stronger than they imagined.If the problem of being held by the militia columns cannot be effectively resolved, North China will never be able to become the same strategic supply rear base as the Northeast.This also led to the spring of 39, the Japanese army's raid on the militia columns reached an unprecedented scale.

Fortunately, both Deng Chenggong and the little devil know that next year's affairs will be discussed next year, and the truth is to spend the remaining 38 years first.With the end of the militia column's sneak attack on the supply line, the garrisons in North China counties who had not received supplies for a long time, when they saw the transport convoy entering the county, cheered like the people in the militia column to welcome the new year.

Even many Japanese army officers began to feel that maybe this kind of peaceful coexistence life was more suitable for them, the city defenders.Everyone is in peace, perhaps more real than ever. The arrival of the festival made the officers and soldiers of the militia column who had been dealing with the little devil for a whole year eagerly hope for a period of rest.For this reason, Deng successfully discussed with several column commanders, and decided that each militia brigade and militia regiment, in addition to arranging a certain size of combat readiness troops, the rest of the extra militia simply let them go home for a year.

At the end of that year, the subsidy for this month was distributed to all regular militiamen and reserve militiamen a week in advance under Xu Mingyuan's suggestion.As a result, merchants from all over the country doing business in the base area really feel that the purchasing power of the rural people cannot be underestimated.

Compared with the areas occupied by the Japanese army, most of the common people used the gold rolls printed by the Japanese army to buy supplies, while the people in the base areas bought with real oceans.For merchants who used to buy supplies from the ocean, they suddenly felt that the base of the militia column really had unlimited business opportunities!

I never thought that because of the next year, these businessmen who originally entered the base area to do business would change their previous cautious way of purchasing goods.As a result, it has changed the long-standing model that only large-scale shops will be opened in county towns, and more businessmen will decide to see shops in this rural town that can be seen everywhere in North China.

These businessmen increased their commercial investment in the base area, which also meant an increase in tax revenue for the North China militia columns.Both Xu Mingyuan and Deng Chenggong expressed their utmost support for this kind of thing that is beneficial to everyone. Finally, I didn't live alone with last year, but came to Xu Mingyuan's house for New Year's Eve dinner in the name of Xu Mingyuan's newborn daughter godfather.It's just that what he didn't expect was that the New Year's Eve dinner would not stop.Because, when the three are in the same joint, ask this commander who doesn't take them seriously.What are you going to do with them!

After all, Xu Mingyuan and Lin Meiting had told Deng Chenggong that they wanted to pursue Deng Chenggong.But Deng Chenggong has been prevaricating and did not give specific opinions. They don't want to tolerate this kind of dreadful thing any longer.

How to put it, they are also rare ladies these days, and it is not necessary to post them to others.If this is spread, how will they meet people in the future?So, this Spring Festival, our Commander Deng must have a headache again!
