When the encirclement and suppression and anti-encirclement and suppression campaigns in Zaozhuang were in full swing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The 115th Division, which had been ordered to advance from Shanxi to Shandong, had also quietly entered the Jining area and established guerrilla zones in the places it passed along the way.

In order to strengthen the armed forces of the Anti-Japanese War in Shandong, the advance column that advanced into southwest Shandong this time was also composed of elite soldiers and strong generals selected from the headquarters and main force of the 115th Division. The Japanese army in Shandong also seemed to be aware of the arrival of this unit.

It's just that with the arrival of this advancing column, the Japanese army still can't lock the route of this force. Coupled with the current chaos in Zaozhuang and Linyi, the Japanese troops stationed in Shandong can only strengthen their defense and vigilance deployment.

At present, the Zaozhuang area, which has attracted the attention of the Japanese army in Shandong, the situation in the surrounding places is undoubtedly a little tense. In the Zou Cheng area, which borders Teng County, small-scale Eighth Route Army raids and disturbances seem to be staged every day.

Even the Japanese garrison stationed in Zou Cheng strengthened the control of the territory. But in the face of these mysterious Eighth Route Army raids and harassment troops who are not running around to commit crimes, the little devils in Zou Cheng also seem a little crazy.

It's just that as far as the current situation is concerned, it is unlikely that the garrison troops stationed in Zou Cheng will want to completely control the situation in the territory. As for requesting reinforcements from above, it is almost unlikely.

Even, with the deterioration of the situation in Zaozhuang, the Japanese garrison stationed in Zou Cheng was also ordered to send troops to join the reinforcements. In this way, in the face of the Eighth Route Army's attack in Zoucheng, the little devil can only turn a blind eye for the time being.

The only thing that made the little devils more relieved was that these Eighth Route Army did not dare to attack the towns they were stationing, and most of them were operating in relatively remote mountain village areas. The really unlucky ones were the squires who took refuge in them.

In addition to this, in addition to sending more than one squadron of patrol troops. Otherwise, the Japanese squads sent to the countryside to sweep and carry out tasks would often be attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and sometimes even the entire squad would be wiped out.

Gradually, the Japanese garrison stationed in Zou Cheng could only temporarily control the towns they were stationing. As for the remote mountain villages in the countryside, they can only choose to give up. Those squires who took refuge could only go to the city for a while.

In the eyes of the Japanese army in Zoucheng, this kind of attack tactic had a great similarity with the Eighth Route Army in Zaozhuang. It can be seen that the Eighth Route Army, which was operating in Zaozhuang City, had already sent small troops into the Zoucheng area, intending to carry out sabotage and anti-war operations.

In fact, a few years ago, Zhao Tiehu sent several armed engineering teams composed of elite soldiers and strong generals to establish an anti-Japanese guerrilla zone in the Zou Cheng area. This time, it was not the guerrillas operating in the area who were frequently harassed.

The reason is very simple, relying only on the combat effectiveness of the armed engineering team and the guerrillas, they will encounter a heavily armed Japanese detachment, unless they occupy favorable terrain to ambush. Otherwise, it would not be easy to completely annihilate a Japanese squad.

Li Hao, who was ordered to enter the Jining area this time, led two special combat detachments and railway guerrillas into Jining, and then began to carry out activities in the Jining area. As for Zou Cheng, it is also the focus of Li Hao's activities.

First, Zou Cheng borders Teng County, and second, Zou Cheng is also a place with mountainous terrain, which is suitable for the Eighth Route Army to fight behind enemy lines. Even if the Zaozhuang Railway is currently interrupted, the Japanese army still has a lot of goods arriving in Zou Cheng for transshipment.

In this case, the railway guerrillas were also dispatched from time to time to collect supplies for the troops. And Li Hao led two special operations teams to constantly attack the small Japanese troops patrolling out of the city, so that the little devils did not dare to go out of the city easily.

Until the advance column arrived in Jining, Li Hao, who received the news, quickly arrived at the temporary command post of the advance column in Jining with the special operations team under his command and under the guidance of the underground traffic officer.

Knowing that the task force had sent a liaison officer, Political Commissar Luo, who had advanced into the column, was also surprised: "Does the task force also have a guerrilla zone here?" Come here at this time, is it possible that something is wrong? ”

'Political commissar, if there's anything wrong, just call someone over and ask!' ’

Chen Ming, the commander of the column, also knew the commander of the task force before he came to Shandong, and he was also an old subordinate in the Soviet area. Although he has never served as Zhao Tiehu's direct chief, this Luo political commissar is!

When Li Hao and the others were invited to the headquarters, Chen Ming also smiled and said, "Political commissar, Captain Zhao of the task force, but your old subordinates!" This old subordinate of yours has been making a lot of noise in Zaozhuang recently.

Didn't we receive a telegram from headquarters a while ago? This kid, with just one detachment, dares to fight with a little devil and an infantry brigade. The most unexpected thing is that he even won the battle, and even killed the brigade commander of the little devil.

This time, our advance column was ordered to come to Shandong to open up anti-Japanese base areas, if we can open up the three base areas, in the future, the little devils want to encircle and suppress us, but I am afraid it will not be so easy. The most important thing is that your old subordinate heard that he has a hand in materials!

At the moment, so many of us have just arrived, and the situation is not very familiar, and most of the materials have to be captured. If we can borrow supplies from him, I guess we can also rest for a while, so that the soldiers can take a breather. ”

Let's talk about this when we meet. I haven't seen the tiger cub in years. At present, the column has just arrived, and the situation in all aspects needs to be understood. As for the supplies, it is estimated that they will not be able to give much.

As you know, when we are fighting behind enemy lines, we rely on capture. The task force, on the other hand, was under the command of the first column. When I came here earlier, I had heard that the task force had been supplying the first column.

If we really want him to help, we will inevitably have to say hello to the first column. At least as far as the current situation is concerned, there is still a difference in the division of responsibilities between our two columns. ’

Although the Eight Roads in the world are one family, Political Commissar Luo knows more or less that if he asks Zhao Tiehu to provide the column with some urgently needed supplies and ammunition. I believe that with his relationship with Zhao Tiehu, Zhao Tiehu will also give him some face for the old chief.

However, at present, the headquarters has not yet been determined, and the anti-Japanese forces in the entire Shandong will be integrated. In terms of troop establishment, both their advance column and the first column were columns. And the task force, after all, is under the jurisdiction of the first column.

If they don't greet the first column, they will let the task force provide them with supplies, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for Zhao Tiehu to pass it on. In some things, you still need to avoid it!

When Li Hao was led into the command headquarters, looking at the two officers in the headquarters, Li Hao said a little cautiously: "Hello two leaders, I am Li Hao, the leader of the detachment directly under the task force, may I ask which leader is Director Luo?" ”

Listening to Li Hao's inquiry, Chen Ming smiled and said, "There is no Director Luo here!" However, Commissar Luo has one! ”

"Okay, Comrade Li Hao, hello, I'm Luo Rong, and you are Zhao Tiehu's subordinate? ’

'Yes! Chief, I was the captain's guard earlier, and later followed the captain to Shandong. Oh, this is a handwritten letter from the captain that I have passed on to the chief. In addition, the captain instructed that after reading the letter, the chief could also bring me back any instructions. ’

While talking, Li Hao still took out a letter from his body. Luo Rong, who took the letter, did not shy away from anything, and directly tore open the letter, and the handwriting on it surprised Luo Rong a little.

said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but the words written by this tiger cub are much better than before!" ”

After reading the letter, Luo Rong said with a little surprise: "Your captain specially asked you to come over to collect supplies?" Now, how much supplies have you collected? How many troops are there in Jining this time? ”

'Not much! I brought two special operations squads and a guerrilla unit. However, we have already formed a county brigade in Zoucheng, and there should be about 500 troops that can be pulled out!

As for supplies, because the time is relatively short, it is not easy for us to fight the towns where the little devils are stationed. More than 600 rifles and ammunition were temporarily captured, and there were not many machine guns and grenadiers.

In addition, a large number of grain seizures are now placed in the garrison of the county brigade. This time, I also hope that the chief can send troops to receive it. Oh, the captain also said, the chief can set up the headquarters there. ’

Upon hearing this, Luo Rong was surprised and said, "How long have you been here?" ”

It's not long, less than half a month! ’

'What? In less than half a month, you got so many supplies? ’

'Chief, we don't have much to offer. However, the guerrillas I brought with me were specially engaged in pickpocketing goods on the railway line. Recently, the little devil's train couldn't pass through Zaozhuang, and a lot of materials were transferred to Zoucheng.

In cooperation with the guerrillas, we picked up a lot of goods from the little devil's truck. If it weren't for the fear of alarming the little devils, we would have already beaten some of the towns where the little devils are stationed. I can't say the specifics, but we still have a lot of things! ’

Chen Ming, who was standing on the side, naturally felt full of joy when he heard that the task force had prepared a large number of supplies for them in advance, and interjected at the right time: "Where is the station of your county brigade?" Can you point it out on the map? ”

'Here, Yishan! Although this place is poor, the people are more supportive of us. Earlier, when the troops came, they exterminated the bandits hiding in the mountains and killed many landlords who had harmed the common people.

At present, the villages in the vicinity of the mountains are all fortress villages of our guerrillas, and the mass foundation is still very solid. Most importantly, the guerrilla garrison had several large caves, and all the supplies we had captured were put into the caves and stored.

If the chiefs had passed, it would have been easier to hide there. And according to the situation we have detected, the little devils in Zou Cheng are afraid that they will not be able to send many troops recently. They transferred a lot of troops and went to Zaozhuang to encircle and suppress our detachment! ’

After a brief introduction to the situation in Zoucheng, Luo Rong discussed with Chen Ming, and decided to pull the troops to Yishan in Zoucheng to rest and recuperate. After all, the troops have come from a long journey, and they really need to rest and recuperate before fighting!
