Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

The development of Taiyue District is still in progress, and the Second Battalion did not stop its march. They walked along the way, escorting 10 tons of brass, and finally arrived at Panlong Town.

Arriving at Panlong Town, the mission of the First Battalion was completed, and the transport team of the headquarters also separated from the Second Battalion, carrying some supplies they brought back from Taiyue District and continuing to march towards Matan. Arriving at Panlong Town also had a great impact on the Second Battalion, that is, the carts, pack horses, and war horses that were originally left here were taken back, and the Second Battalion had carrying tools.

During the time when the Second Battalion was on the expedition, these tools and livestock were always looked after by the comrades from the Third District. The war horses and large livestock were also fed with good water and feed, and were not treated unfairly at all!

Of course, the Third Division did not suffer any loss! For example, in the two battles of the Taiyue First Division, the First Battalion that followed them completely replaced their equipment! Except for the semi-automatic grenade launchers, which were more advanced than the Japanese, the rest of the Hanyang-made weapons were replaced with Japanese weapons.

And we can also see something from the gun ownership rate! For example, when the Second Battalion first came into contact with the First Battalion, one-third of the soldiers had no guns. But now, even those soldiers who can't shoot have all carried Type 38 rifles on their backs, and the Japanese ammunition boxes are hung on their waists. The key is that the bullets in the ammunition boxes are still full!

Although the First Battalion did not ask for the Japanese's crappy guns, they did have one Czech rifle captured from the puppet army in each squad! Note that each squad here is not an infantry squad like the Beishan Detachment, but every squad including the cooking squad and the communications squad!
After seeing the equipment of the Independent Battalion, some people who knew them couldn't help but complain: Lao Meng, you are a cook, carrying a Czech stir-fry gun on your back, aren't you tired?
The First Battalion is the First Battalion of the Third District Independent Regiment, and it is a team of the Third District! So the First Battalion got such a big benefit, which means that the Third District got so many benefits! In this way, the Third District made a lot of money! Even the leaders of the Third District were thinking about a question-why did they only send one battalion in the first place? If the independent regiment was sent out, what would happen when it came back?
"No wonder they are all willing to fight with the Beishan Detachment! They are really good at giving away money!" In a meeting room in the third division, after hearing Captain Bai introduce the Second Battalion's battle results and the spoils they were allocated, a certain cadre couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, expressing the true feelings of everyone present!

Fighting with a team that can fight, knows how to fight, can win battles, and does not covet those spoils of war, the benefits are naturally many! It’s a pity that the Beishan Detachment is a detachment of security nature, not a field detachment that fights everywhere! However, after thinking about the combat results of the Beishan Detachment, everyone realized that this detachment of security nature also had outstanding combat achievements!
Although the Beishan Detachment did not have much combat experience overall, every battle was a remarkable victory! Everyone knew what such a team meant.

The Second Battalion left Panlong Town and continued to head north, towards their own base! This time when they went back, they no longer hid, because the mortars that needed to be covered were left in the Taiyue area, so the comrades in the artillery platoon instantly turned into a transport team and a pistol team!

That’s right, it was the Pistol Team! After hearing that the Second Battalion had collected all the pistols, including box guns, from the puppet army after the battle in Gu County, the 386th Brigade seemed to want to compensate them, so they gave all the pistols seized in the battle in Shili Township, including the Shicao River battle north of Shili Township, to the Second Battalion!
So at this time, the artillerymen of the Second Battalion were wearing all kinds of pistols, which could be called a concentrated exhibition of the current Wan Guo brand pistols! What kind of one gun, two horses, three flower mouths, four snakes, five dogs, big eye pistols, chicken leg pistols, that's everything! And the most common among them are various box guns!

Of course, there is no pistol like the Wangba Box, which is difficult to use even for suicide. The Beishan Branch is too lazy to equip them, so they didn't want such a broken gun.

No one knows what the Beishan Detachment wants so many pistols for! In fact, Zhu Xingyu and Zhao Danian, who gave orders to the Second Battalion, did not think clearly about how to arrange these pistols after they were brought back. Of course, the pistols brought back naturally have a place to be arranged, it depends on how to arrange them! For example, if the machine gunners of each class don't mind, they can be equipped with a small pistol as a self-defense weapon!
For example, can each platoon's heavy machine gunner and ammunition carrier also be equipped with a box gun? Another example... In short, the pistol is back, there is always a place to use it!
Liangjia Village, Beishan Branch Headquarters, Li Yuexuan returned to the west wing after a busy day's work. He had just changed his clothes when he heard a knock on the door.

After opening the door, Zhu Xingyu was standing outside, with Cai Xiaotian standing guard next to him. Before Li Yuexuan could speak, Zhu Xingyu said, "Let's go. We just received a telegram from the headquarters. Our division headquarters has been merged with the headquarters. Our division number is still retained, but our detachment number has nothing to do with the affiliation! Let's go to a meeting. The headquarters asked us to discuss the development plan of the base in the new era."

Li Yuexuan ignored the rest of the conversation and asked in a surprised tone, "Our division headquarters has been merged with the headquarters again? How many years have they been separated? Three years?"

"Have you explained the situation clearly? Our division used to work together with the headquarters, but now they are merged together... Never mind, it doesn't matter. It's all the same anyway, we should fight the Japanese! But what we want to discuss is how to manage our base more stably and make it easier to cope with the struggle against the enemy under the new situation!" Zhu Xingyu said with a smile.

"Let's go, let's discuss it and then work hard to develop our base!" Zhu Xingyu said, motioning Cai Xiaotian to stand guard at the door, and took Li Yuexuan to the meeting room in the north room.

There were quite a few people in the conference room, including the leadership team of the detachment, as well as the leadership teams of Pingdong District, Pingxi District, Xidong County and other departments within the Beishan base.

"Comrades..." Zhu Xingyu, as the political commissar of the detachment, naturally presided over the meeting: "According to the battle situation report given by the headquarters, our Taihang District is now in a stable period. The headquarters estimates that in the next one or two months, the Japanese devils will not be able to and will not be able to launch large-scale military operations against our Taihang base!"

"Just the day before yesterday, the Japanese troops that attacked our Taiyue District had withdrawn to their original base! This time, our Taiyue District soldiers and civilians fought bloody battles, and our Second Battalion helped us fully. We wiped out more than 62 Japanese and puppet troops in total, severely damaging the Japanese 69nd and th Divisions. While relieving some of the pressure on our northern Shaanxi direction, it also eased the tense situation in the Taiyue District!"

"Now, according to our latest situation, the headquarters requires us to actively seek changes, make bold predictions, and carefully guess, so as to better lead the military and civilians in our base area, so that the military, civilians and government can work together as one and become an indestructible anti-Japanese fortress!"
