Chapter 14: The First Division!

All members of the task force arrived at the base camp, realizing that there was finally an anti-Japanese army of the Eighth Route Army near Zaozhuang. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info when the little devils were still secretly investigating the strangers from the south, Zhao Tiehu issued an order for the detachment to suppress the bandits.

Around the towns and villages around the base camp, they singled out those bandits who were extremely angry with the people. In the past, even the Japanese puppet army could maneuver around the bandit forces, and suddenly found that this group of attackers was better at jungle warfare than them.

Even many bandits, armed with bandits, found themselves surrounded when the other side attacked. Except for a few bandits who had no evil deeds, some bandit forces that had been rampant in Teng County for many years were wiped out by the task force.

The people living in Xishan Village were also very surprised when they saw the Eighth Route Army passing in front of the village every day, carrying a large number of captured materials and captured bandits into the mountains, but they were even more happy.

Undoubtedly, the people who live in the mountainous areas will benefit the most from this large-scale crackdown on banditry. In these troubled times, these already poor people have to endure the attacks of these bandits every year, making them really miserable.

Now seeing that the bandit cottages that used to run rampant in the township have been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, these people are naturally happy. In their opinion, in addition to exterminating these bandits, I believe that they can also live a relatively peaceful life.

Through a large-scale crackdown on bandits, the officers and men of the newly formed task force have also been tempered in actual combat. Although in the process of suppressing bandits, it was still inevitable that some soldiers would be sacrificed, but the work of expanding the number of recruits was proceeding smoothly.

Every time they saw those recruits training in the recruit camp, Zhao Tiehu, Song Dabao and the others would look very happy. Tan Changze, who is the person in charge of intelligence, is also happy to be able to select some young people with intelligence talent to assign hidden missions.

Looking at the secret warehouses that are being built one after another in the mountains every day, Tan Changze, who was worried about the difficulties of feeding such a force earlier, is also really convinced that Zhao Tiehu is really good at fighting and engaging in supplies.

In the process of suppressing bandits, although they encountered some armed bandits under the banner of anti-Japanese resistance. But in the face of Zhao Tiehu's attack on the cottage, he confronted the bitter master who suffered from them, and these bandits became speechless.

Zhao Tiehu's attitude towards these so-called anti-Japanese forces to his subordinates was: "We welcome any armed forces to join the anti-Japanese camp, but what we want is an armed force that sincerely resists Japan, not an armed force that says it is anti-Japanese but actually harms the people."

We must resolutely crack down on this kind of armed force that hides in the ranks of the war of resistance and undermines the reputation of the ranks of the war of resistance. No matter whose banner these fighters are carrying, as long as they have done things that have harmed the people, I cannot let them stay here. ”

With Zhao Tiehu's instructions, the combat detachment responsible for reconnaissance and suppression was also justified when exterminating these so-called anti-Japanese war forces. In the face of such a purgy, even if some people are not happy, they can only endure it.

Just when the anti-bandit operation attracted the attention of the Japanese troops stationed in Teng County, Zhao Tiehu saw that there were basically no bandits in Teng County. He ordered the end of the anti-bandit operation and started the next large-scale hoeing operation.

I found the three team leaders and said, "Next, I will lead the third team to Yufengling in Zaozhuang to form our third anti-Japanese base area." A detachment remained behind to be responsible for the training of new recruits, and there should be no large-scale troop movements in the near future.

According to the news sent by the underground transportation station, the little devil brigade stationed in Zaozhuang recently increased the strength of a squadron to Teng County. The arrival of these little devils must have smelled something and were ready to do something to us!

Our base camp has just been built, so it's not suitable to go head-to-head with the little devils. Therefore, we need to shift the attention of the little devils from Teng County to other places. For this reason, the second and third teams are ready to leave this time.

The second detachment went to Weishan Island to set up an anti-Japanese base area, and while building the base area, it carried out a hoeing operation. For specific action goals, Director Tan will send people to cooperate at that time. This time, we want to continue to expand our reach.

Unless the little devil takes the initiative to attack, otherwise, you are not allowed to go to the town where the little devil is stationed to do it. First lay a solid foundation for the three base areas, and then in the next step, we will think about how to develop and strengthen ourselves for the railway line of the little devil. ”

According to Zhao Tiehu's decision, Zhao Tiehu set up a military engineering team behind enemy lines directly under each combat detachment by transferring about 30 military backbones from the three combat detachments and cooperating with the selection of local recruits with strong political ideology.

In the future, these armed engineering teams will really go deep into the countryside to fight against the local tyrants and inferior gentry who are causing trouble in the countryside, and promote the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese war proposition. At the same time, we are also developing mass armed forces in various villages, and further expanding the armed building of fortress villages.

The leaders of the first column were also very interested in Zhao Tiehu's development plan of breaking up the whole into parts, first taking the countryside and then finding a way to surround the towns. In their view, this is a new way of developing armed forces behind enemy lines.

If this road works, it can also play an exemplary role in other anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines. Therefore, the leaders of the column basically responded to the request for help from the task force.

What's more, with the successful arrival of the first batch of materials in Yimeng Mountain, looking at the large number of materials transported, Commander Zhang Jingshan also said happily: "Okay! With this batch of fabrics and cotton coats, our warriors can finally survive the winter safely! ”

'Yes! It seems that the commander still has a good vision, and he will bring such a cadre over. I heard from the guerrilla comrades who transported the supplies that this kid fought with the little devils in Teng County and annihilated more than 100 little devils!

Not to mention the dozens of people under him, he wiped out more than 100 little devils, and also eliminated hundreds of puppet troops and captured nearly 100 puppet soldiers. The soldiers brought out by this kid are really powerful in combat. No wonder Brigade Commander Chen was so reluctant earlier! ’

Li Yu, who had heard about some of Zhao Tiehu's deeds earlier, was somewhat worried about Zhang Jingshan's transfer of Zhao Tiehu. After all, armed resistance behind enemy lines is an extremely risky matter, and everyone needs to be cautious.

Judging from Zhao Tiehu's style of acting, this person is extremely adventurous, and his combat style seems to be somewhat self-contained. If such a person is under his command, no one dares to guarantee that this guy will not stab the column in the future.

But judging from the current situation, Zhao Tiehu's arrival did solve a lot of trouble for the column. With this ability to engage in materials alone, Li Yu also has to say that he admires. After all, it is indeed very difficult to get supplies behind enemy lines in these years.

With the opening of the traffic information line between the column and the task force, Zhao Tiehu, who had independent combat rights, also sent people to deliver messages to the column from time to time. In this way, the smoothness of the traffic information line is constantly improved.

But in Zhao Tiehu's view, even if the cavalry cavalry is sent to deliver the news, the risk is very high, not to mention the speed is not fast. Therefore, Zhao Tiehu has always considered that it is necessary to set up a radio station as soon as possible, and if possible, each of the three combat detachments will be equipped with one.

For this matter, Zhao Tiehu also applied like a column, hoping that the column would apply to the higher authorities for some dispatchers. In this case, when the dispatcher arrives at the detachment, it is believed that he should have already gotten the radio.

In these years, most of the dispatchers were trained in Yan'an or the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and then sent to the combat units of various divisions. If you want to have a transmitter, you also need to apply to your superiors and bring your own radio station.

It can be said that radio is very precious to many troops of the Eighth Route Army today. If you want a radio, you can only find out through the battle. But for the little devils, they also attach great importance to the radio.

When the troops were unable to break through, the Japanese army often burned the code book and destroyed the radio station. Therefore, it is more difficult to capture a good radio station, and it takes a little luck.

When he was in Yushe, although Zhao Tiehu said that he had seized the radio station, he was also handed over to the brigade headquarters by the regiment headquarters. For many troops sent to Shanxi to fight, the radio station is also very precious to them.

Now that Zhao Tiehu's radio station has not been seized, he applied to his superiors to send a telegraph operator, which really made Zhang Jingshan look forward to it, where did Zhao Tiehu get the radio station. After all, the Japanese army's radio station is generally limited to the troops stationed in the county town.

Unless the county town where the Japanese army was stationed could be breached, it seemed unlikely that the radio station would be captured. But in Zhao Tiehu's view, some important railway stations and trains of the Japanese army are sometimes equipped with radio stations, but the power is smaller.

But with a low-power radio, he can also get in touch with the column for radio communication. In the future, after the three combat detachments are separated, if there is a radio station, they will also be able to report on the situation of each combat detachment in a timely manner.

In short, after applying to his superiors for a transmitter, Zhao Tiehu also ordered all reconnaissance detachments to focus on investigating the radio station where there were little devils. As long as there is a suitable place to start, Zhao Tiehu will find a way to build a radio station to equip it first.

When the task force was divided into three, Zhao Tiehu took the third detachment to Yufengling, Zaozhuang, to form the base camp of the third combat detachment. Li Chengwu followed Tan Changze to Weishan Lake, where he prepared to set up an anti-Japanese base for the second detachment.

As for the first detachment left behind, in addition to being responsible for the training of new recruits, it also successively dispatched elite soldiers to several nearby villages that received the Eighth Route Army to help the villages form militia escorts, and at the same time guard against possible sneak attacks or sweeps by the Japanese army.

Fortunately, these villages are relatively close to the mountains, and most of the roads into the villages are relatively remote. Therefore, as long as the early warning is in place, even if the little devils attack in a big way, the villagers will have enough time to move.

Facing Zhao Tiehu to let himself take care of his home, Song Dabao also knew that this was his trust in him. In order to live up to this trust, Song Dabao will also remind himself that he must behave well and not embarrass Zhao Tiehu.

In fact, just when the Japanese army sent people to start inquiring about the news of the Eighth Route Army. However, it was discovered that plainclothes spies who had been invincible in the past would never return as long as they entered the mountainous areas where the Eighth Route Army was active.

After going back and forth, many plainclothes agents also knew that there was an area where the Eighth Route Army was active, but I was afraid that they really couldn't go. Taking on such a task is completely unlucky!
