After nearly a month of training, the fighters finally survived, no one was left behind, and no one said that they were suffering or not training. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In this era, faith is often greater than everything, and now these displayed beliefs are to fight devils, maybe now you suddenly say that the little devils have surrendered, maybe some of these fighters will go crazy.

Of course, the record is also very brilliant, in just over a month, all the fighters have improved, but the biggest improvement is still the soldiers of the special regiment, the special regiment implemented the method of fighting to nourish the war, training by war, in Tianzhen, Xinghe, Qianqi, Weixian, Yanggao, Guangling, Huai'an, Wanquan, Zhulu, Hunyuan, Shangyi, Zhangbei, Datong counties and cities.

Everywhere they go, the special regiment will secretly investigate the Japanese puppet army and traitors here, and then make a plan to assassinate and sabotage, and after the assassination, they will use the blood of traitors and others to write the fate of the traitors.

But the impact was huge, and in the counties around Tianzhen, there were fewer traitors who took refuge in the Japanese puppet army, and there were many of them, and the law and order became better all of a sudden. This incident allowed Wang Long's department to take root here, which was recognized by the local people, and more than 1,000 people were recruited during this month.

Time passed quietly, and it came to the end of October in an instant, and when Wang Long's troops were training, great changes had taken place in other parts of China.

September 29 – November 6, 1938 - The Chinese Communist Party held the enlarged Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee in Yan'an.

The Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth CPC Central Committee ensured the implementation of the correct line of the CPC Central Committee politically, ideologically, and organizationally, basically overcame Wang Ming's right-leaning capitulationist mistake in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and unified the thinking of the whole party.

In order to realize the party's leadership in the War of Resistance Against Japan, it carried out a comprehensive strategic plan and promoted the rapid development of all work. In terms of party building, it has enriched and developed the ideas on party building put forward by the Sixth National Congress of the party and the Gutian Conference, and has made major contributions to strengthening party building both theoretically and practically.

The plenum confirmed Mao Zedong's position as the leader of the whole party and laid a solid foundation for the victory of the CPC in leading the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

October 10, 1938 - Eight women throw themselves into the river.

In early October 1938, the main forces of the Fourth and Fifth Armies of the Second Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army entered the central area under the strict control of the Japanese army. After the continuous hard fighting with the Japanese army, the troops of the Western Expedition suffered heavy casualties, and they were transferred to Wuchang County for scattered activities.

In order to get rid of the encirclement and pursuit of the strong enemy, the 1st Division of the 1st Army broke through the encirclement and returned eastward. Eight female soldiers of the Women's Regiment of the Fifth Army who followed the division, instructor Leng Yun (Zheng Zhimin), squad leaders Hu Xiuzhi and Yang Guizhen, soldiers Guo Guiqin, Huang Guiqing, Li Shushan (Korean), Wang Huimin, and An Shunfu (Korean), the director of the clothing factory, took the initiative to undertake the task of covering the brigade to break through and transfer.

October 21, 1938 - Fall of Guangzhou.

In October 1938 (the 27th year of the Republic of China), in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the troops of the 4th Theater of Operations of China fought a defensive battle against the 21st Army of the Japanese Army in the area of Guangzhou Bay (formerly known as Zhanjiang City, which became a French lease in 1899) in Guangdong Province.

Before attacking Guangzhou, the devils carried out wanton and indiscriminate bombing of Guangzhou for 14 months, and the Japanese planes carried out nearly 100 groups of more than 900 sorties in air raids on Guangzhou, killing more than 6,000 residents, smashing and wounding nearly 8,000 people, destroying more than 4,000 houses, and destroying nearly 100 ships. One of the largest, and most devastating to Guangzhou, was that Guangzhou became a dilapidated city where rubble and corpses piled up on each other.

October 25, 1938 - Fall of Wuhan.

After the Japanese army invaded and occupied Nanjing, although the Nationalist Government moved westward to Chongqing, most of the government offices and military headquarters were in Wuhan, which actually became the military, political, and economic center of the country at that time.

On December 13, 1937, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government drew up a plan for the defense of Wuhan. After the loss of Xuzhou, it immediately adjusted its deployment, and successively mobilized about 130 divisions, more than 200 planes of various types, and more than 40 ships of various types and mine-laying ferries, totaling more than 1 million people, to take advantage of the favorable terrain of the Dabie Mountains, Poyang Lake, and the areas on both sides of the Yangtze River to organize defense and defend Wuhan.

Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth Theater Command, is responsible for the defense of Jiangbei; Chen Cheng, commander of the Ninth Theater of Operations, was responsible for the defense of Jiangnan.

In addition, the first theater was in the area west of the Zhengzhou-Xinyang section of the Pinghan Railway (now Beijing-Hankou) to prevent the Japanese army in North China from moving south; The Third Theater was located on the south bank of the Yangtze River between Wuhu and Anqing in Anhui Province and the area east of Nanchang in Jiangxi Province, to prevent the Japanese army from making a detour to the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway (Guangzhou-Wuchang) via the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway (Hangzhou-Zhuzhou).

With the Japanese encirclement of Wuhan already achieved, the Chinese army had to abandon the city on October 25 in order to preserve its strength.

The Japanese army occupied Wuchang and Hankou on the 26th, and Hanyang on the 27th. The Battle of Wuhan was the largest, longest, and most annihilated battle in the strategic defense stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the Chinese army fought bloody battles, fighting hundreds of large and small battles, killing and wounding more than 200,000 Japanese troops at the cost of more than 400,000 casualties, and greatly depleting the vitality of the Japanese army.

Not long after the fall of Wuhan, that is, in early November, the devils of the Eighth Wing of the Fourth Division stationed in Fengzhen sent a telegram to Wang Long, saying that they had received an order from the headquarters to let their units carry out a sweep in the surrounding villages, implement strong walls and shape the fields, and move all the people of the villages to the surrounding county seats, and not leave anything for the Eighth Route Army.

And in the telegram, it was also said that the task of the Eighth Wing this time was to all the villages around Fengzhen, so that the people of the Eighth Wing would not shoot black guns, and they would discuss with Wang Lung and them how to act at that time.

Seeing the information sent by the devils, Wang Lung knew that this was the moment of life and death, so he immediately reported the telegram to the headquarters, and found cadres above the battalion level to hold a meeting at Wang Lung's headquarters.

At this time, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was also in a meeting, and the content of the meeting was the information that Wang Lung had just sent.

"Let's take a look! Here's what I just sent. Mr. Zhu sent the telegram to everyone in the conference room.

After everyone finished reading, Mr. Zhu said: "If you have any ideas, let's talk about it." ā€

"Well, I just finished reading it, the telegram sent by Wang Long, in the telegram said that the devil wants to implement the plan of strengthening the wall and shaping the field, then it means that the devil will report that Wang Long's department is trapped in the base area, everyone also knows that Wang Lung, this bastard boy, is a big move, this time the devil has captured Guangzhou and Wuhan, so the devils stationed in Datong, Zhangjiakou, and even Taiyuan, Baoding and other places will be dispatched."

"Although Wang Long's department can now be said to be the strongest fighting force in Wang Long's Eighth Route Army, it can't carry the devil's aircraft cannon!" Chief of Staff Ye said with a frown.

"Yes! You say this damn going bald, ah! How can you resist it! If you don't resist, doesn't this let the devil drive straight in? Mr. Zhu said.

"The last time I went to Wang Lung's 88th Division, Wang Long's various resources are very sufficient, and they can fight for a long time, but what I am most worried about is that the long-term perseverance will make the soldiers shake their minds, everyone knows that most of the people in Wang Long's department are bandits and puppet soldiers, I am afraid that their thinking is not firm, then it will be trouble!" Chief of Staff Ye said with a headache.

"Well, what you said is also a problem, now this issue can be put aside for a while, let's discuss the plan to fight the devils first, and eliminate the devils as soon as possible." Mr. Zhu said.

"Boss, if you really can't do it, let Wang Long's troops withdraw from the base where they are now." A staff officer said.

"Do you think that if you withdraw, the devil will give up the encirclement and suppression of Wang Lung's department? No, this time the devil should be dead, and he must destroy Wang Long's department. Mr. Zhu said.

The staff officer opened his mouth and said nothing.

"Boss, I think let's see what Wang Lung thinks, we can't study anything here, and even if we do, we can't command it according to the actual situation! I think this time, it's still up to Wang Lung and themselves. Chief of Staff Ye sighed and said.

Mr. Zhu nodded, and he agreed with Chief of Staff Ye.
