With Zhao Tiehu, who captured Beizhuang Town, he ordered all the combat units under the command of the task force to be hidden. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info concentrated the main force of the brigade to arrive at the encirclement and suppression troops near Beizhuang, even if it converged with the Linyi defenders, it still failed to block the assault team commanded by Zhao Tiehu.

In the face of the many mountains near Beizhuang, although some little devil officers speculated, the Eighth Route Army might have fled into the mountains. But it is not easy to find the hidden Eighth Route Army in the mountains in this winter.

After tossing and turning in Beizhuang for half a month, the entire Zaozhuang seemed to fall into silence. The Eighth Route Army, which had sneaked up from time to time earlier, seemed to disappear with it. On the contrary, it became a new battlefield near Yimeng Mountain, which surprised the Linyi defenders.

Perhaps it was the battle near Yimeng Mountain that began to divert the attention of the Japanese army, and the Japanese infantry brigade that finally arrived in Zaozhuang was still ordered to advance into Linyi to cooperate with the battle. But before they arrived at Yimeng Mountain, the Eighth Route Army retreated back to the mountain again.

For the attitude of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army was naturally very unhappy. However, not long after the encirclement and suppression troops advanced into the Yimeng Mountains to fight, they also found that the losses they paid were not small, but on the other hand, the Eighth Route Army of the Qing Dynasty was not much.

After a winter toss, the Japanese troops in charge of the two places found that although they had not lost their territory, their troops had lost a lot. Especially in Zaozhuang, they have already paid the price of the loss of nearly an infantry wing.

And the garrison troops in the direction of Linyi also suffered a lot of losses. In this case, considering the safety of the entire jurisdiction, the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Jining finally decided to cancel the encirclement and suppression, and everything will be said after the beginning of spring.

Knowing that the little devils who had reinforces Linyi had also retreated, Zhao Tiehu, who had been staying in the mountains, also looked very happy and said: "Well, it seems that the little devils really recognize the reality, and if they continue to fight like this, they will lose the most."

By the way, the little devil's railroad has been repaired, and our railway guerrillas are almost trained. Find an opportunity for them to go to the railway line for a while, don't blow up the railway for the time being, and get some materials to practice their hands first. ”

After a winter battle, the people of Zaozhuang already knew that they had a group of Eighth Route Army around them that gave the little devils a headache. Even these Eighth Route Army have even captured Zaozhuang, but the little devil has not been able to do anything to the Eighth Route Army.

As this news spread, Zhao Tiehu also began to infiltrate some towns and towns in the territory and began to mobilize the masses to form village-level escort units and township guerrillas.

According to Zhao Tiehu's instructions, the first batch of recruits selected from the guerrillas were also successively added to the three combat detachments. After some inquiring for instructions, Zhao Tiehu applied to the three combat detachments for the establishment of battalion-level detachments.

Although it is still a detachment to the outside world, according to the instructions of the column, the task force can still be expanded into a directly subordinate detachment and the scale of three combat detachments. In a sense, the task force is already the formation of a main regiment.

Zhao Tiehu handed over the expansion and training of the three combat detachments to the three detachment leaders. And he himself, with a group of blacksmiths and workers recruited, began to be busy in the mountains of Tengxian County.

In order to build a directly subordinate detachment that truly has special operations capabilities, Zhao Tiehu decided to equip the members of the directly subordinate combat detachment with some new weapons. One of these things is a special bow that is easy to use for sneak attacks.

Relying on the help of skilled blacksmiths and the rail steel sled from the railway line, after some modification and debugging, Zhao Tiehu finally succeeded in creating ten special combat bows and crossbows that were somewhat decent.

Although the results of the test shot failed to meet Zhao Tiehu's expectations, Zhao Tiehu also knew that this kind of special warfare crossbow with a range of about 50 meters was the most powerful crossbow he could make at present.

In addition to the special warfare bow and crossbow, Zhao Tiehu used the binoculars captured on the battlefield to modify several real sniper rifles with scopes. Even the converted infantry is not the most heavily armed Type 38 rifle of the task force.

The last time he attacked Zaozhuang, Zhao Tiehu seized a batch of Mauser rifles and bullets of very good quality from the arsenal of small devils. After some final consideration, it was decided to convert the sniper rifle with Mauser infantry.

The range of the modified sniper rifle can basically reach the target of about 500 meters accurately. Although this range is still a bit short, in Zhao Tiehu's opinion, it is still much better than the current direct detachment aiming by eyes alone.

Moreover, the bullet power of the Mauser Type 98 rifle is much stronger than that of the little devil's Type 38. In Zhao Tiehu's view, as long as he hits the target, he believes that the target will be seriously injured if he does not die. Therefore, Zhao Tiehu spent a lot of money to dismantle a lot of telescopes.

Fortunately, a lot of telescopes were captured this time, except for officers at the level of company commander of the detachment, who could be equipped with a telescope, and the extra telescopes Zhao Tiehu was converted into sniper rifles. He is well aware that a sniper rifle is more powerful than an ordinary rifle.

In addition to modifying weapons, Zhao Tiehu did not forget to use some captured machinery and equipment to form a small arsenal in a mountain at the detachment headquarters. In Zhao Tiehu's view, this is also urgently needed for the troops' logistical support.

Even if the arsenal can't produce its own guns for the time being, some simple repairs can still be made. In addition, Zhao Tiehu also asked the blacksmith to modify two bullet reloaders by hand-crafting parts.

Although this bullet reloading, it still has to be done by manpower. Seeing that the scrap cartridge case quickly became a new bullet after being reloaded, many officers of the detachment were very happy and felt that they would not have to worry about the lack of bullets in the future.

What made the officers and men of the detachment most happy was that after some experiments with Zhao Tiehu and the recruited work, this simple arsenal was already able to produce some mines and even mines. These two things will undoubtedly bring great effect to the troops.

With the first batch of mines produced, Zhao Tiehu once again appeared on Weishan Island. Looking at the mines created this time, Yu Zhenghe, who had already felt the effect of the mines before, naturally looked very happy.

He said happily: "Detachment leader, can we make this thing ourselves?" ”

'Hmmm! Although the production is not large, as long as there is enough steel and gunpowder, we will be able to mass-produce these improvised mines in the future. With this thing, it will be much easier for you to fight guerrillas in the Lake District in the future.

However, I would like to give priority to the deployment of these mines outside the fishing village. With these mines, after the lake ice melts, even if the little devil river defense force wants to sneak attack the fishing village, these mines will make them dare not approach easily. ’

As the winter was about to pass, in order to ensure the safety of the guerrilla areas, Zhao Tiehu ordered the arsenal to focus on the production of mines and mines. As for the mines, they were naturally handed over to the second detachment for safekeeping and use.

As for the mines, the members of the martial arts team who have undergone some training have already left with the first batch of mines. As the follow-up mines continued to be made, Zhao Tiehu believed that the little devils in Zaozhuang should be careful if they want to sneak into the mountains and follow up the village in the future.

Even if mines and mines are laid, they will cause accidental injuries to a certain extent. But Zhao Tiehu still felt that with such a good thing as mines, the guerrillas would not be powerless to fight back in the face of the sweep and sneak attack of the little devils in the future.

Even in the most critical moments, these mines can serve to deter the enemy from pursuit. Therefore, the members of the martial arts team who returned to the detachment for training were extremely happy after seeing these iron bumps.

Although Zhao Tiehu recently ordered the troops not to attack at will, Zhao Tiehu believed that after the beginning of spring, the little devils would organize a new round of sweeping offensives. In order to avoid heavy losses in the base area, he could only make some preparations in advance.

The river defense force of the little devil suffered a big loss before, and after the beginning of spring, the little devil will inevitably retaliate. In order to ensure the safety of the fishermen in the fishing village, Zhao Tiehu asked the arsenal to make these simple mines with good power.

Just fix the mines in the channel in front of the fishing village that is suitable for gunboats and patrol boats, and believe that as long as the little devil dares to approach, these mines are enough for the little devil to drink a pot. After all, the effect of the previous mines was good.

even blew up and sank the two gunboats of the little devils, making the fleets of the little devils coming and going this waterway a little worried. Fortunately, after some searching, the little devil found that the waterway was still safe, so he dared to let the merchant ship continue to pass.

As for the gunboats and patrol boats that had been hidden, Zhao Tiehu did not let the guerrillas drive to the lake area for training. More often than not, in the tributaries, the guerrillas and the fighters sent to familiarize themselves with the boats.

However, due to the shortage of fuel, the number of such training is naturally not much. But no matter what, as long as the warriors are familiar with the performance and weaponry of the imp ships, it will be easier to rob merchant ships in the future.

And as mines continue to be produced, the ships of the little devils will have to be more careful if they want to pursue the guerrillas. This also means that in the future, the second detachment will fight in Weishan Lake, and it will also have one more killer weapon.

Accompanied by Yu Zhenghe, Zhao Tiehu inspected some surrounding fortress villages. At the same time, Li Chengwu was instructed to add some patrol posts near the fishing village to guard against the possible appearance of Japanese ground troops.

After staying for a few days, Zhao Tiehu arrived at Yufengling with his direct detachment. For Zhao Tiehu's arrival, the officers and men of the third detachment also seemed very happy. After a winter of training, the third detachment is also developing well.

The three main companies under the command of the detachment all numbered 150 people. As for the extra fighters, they were also successively assigned to various guerrilla units and armed engineering teams to further increase the combat and control strength of these anti-war forces.

After arriving at Yufengling, Zhao Tiehu led his direct detachment to conduct another week of training in the mountains in Yixian County. This kind of one-week extreme training is also a step forward in improving the combat strength of the directly subordinate detachments.

In Zhao Tiehu's view, in the future, the subordinate detachment will be used as an ace unit of the task force. With such an ace army, Zhao Tiehu will go out to fight in the future, so he will have greater confidence and certainty to make the little devil suffer!
