Just as the independent battalion kicked off the training, Zhou Jianping, commander of the three detachments, Liu Daosheng, political commissar, and the head of the 687th regiment rushed to the county seat of Yuxian.

Because they were worried about the bombing of Japanese planes, Zhou Jianping and his entourage rushed from Shangshe on the night of Xiao Siming's training.

Zhou Jianping's ancestral home is Jinxi, Jiangxi, born in Xuanwei, Yunnan, at the age of 16, he went to the Yunnan Army as a soldier, graduated from the 8th session of Yunnan Jiangwutang, and served as a company commander under Mr. Zhu during the Protectorate War. After two years of study at the Whampoa Military Academy, during the Nanchang Uprising, he served as a battalion commander in the Fourth Army. During the Red Army, Zhou Jianping served as the commander of the Red Tenth Army, the Red Eleventh Army, and the commander of the Red Nineteenth Division. During the Long March, Zhou Jianping stayed in the Soviet area to fight guerrillas, and was wounded in the battle and was sent to Shanghai for treatment. When the Eighth Route Army was reorganized, he served as the deputy brigade commander of the 343rd Brigade, and later led a company of the second battalion of the 685th Regiment to follow Commander Nie to create the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area, creating four divisions and three detachments.

This year, Zhou Jianping was 45 years old.

When the red ghost Xiao Siming was in school in the second brigade of the second phase of the anti-Japanese university, Zhou Jianping was the chief of the second section, that is, the captain of the second brigade.

Liu Daosheng, the political commissar of the third detachment, is a native of Chaling, Hunan, born in 1915, only 22 years old, is a young veteran political worker, once served as the director of the political department of the division of the Guangdong-Jiangxi Military Region of the Red Army, the political commissar of the cadres and regiments of the Red Army, the director of the organization department of the political department of the Red Third Army Corps, the director of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, and the director of the political department of the Red Sixth Army Corps, and the political commissar of the 717th Regiment of the 359 Brigade of the 120th Division when the Eighth Route Army was reorganized. After the 120th Division went north to resist Japan, Liu Daosheng led a field rescue work group of more than 60 people of the 717th Regiment of the 359th Brigade of the 120th Division and a company from Pingshan to Yuxian, where the party was built to build the party, the army, and the political power, and established the central county party committee of Mengpingyang Shouyu County, the anti-Japanese democratic government of Yuxian County, and the anti-Japanese guerrilla brigade of Mengpingyang Shouyu County. The field work group and a Red Army company led by it were combined with a company of the second battalion of the 685th Regiment led by Zhou Jianping to reorganize the local armed forces and form the Jin-Cha-Ji Fourth Army Division, that is, the third detachment of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army.

The commander of the 344th Regiment of the 687th Brigade is Zhang Shaodong, the deputy head Tian Shouyao, the chief of staff Lan Guoqing, and the director of the Political Department Cui Tianmin.

Xiao Siming knows all the information about these people, but except for Zhou Jianping, no one else knows them.

Historically, Zhou Jianping died in June 38 due to the recurrence of an old injury and was a famous martyr. Liu Daosheng and Cui Tianmin were both founding lieutenant generals later. Zhang Shaodong and Lan Guoqing defected on February 25, 38 and have not been traced since. Tian Shouyao later took over as the commander of the 687th Regiment, the deputy commander of the 344th Brigade, the commander of the newly formed Second Brigade of the Second Column of the Eighth Route Army, and the commander of the Eighth Brigade of the Third Division of the New Fourth Army. Later, when he was ordered to study in Yan'an, he encountered a Japanese motorboat in the Yellow Sea and died heroically. After his death, Wang's puppet spy agency took advantage of the inconvenience of communication and the fact that Yan'an did not know about his sacrifice to send spies to disguise him in an attempt to assassinate the leader of our party. The story was later made into a movie.

Xiao Siming remembered that before the crossing, military fans on the Internet commented that the regiment-level commander of the 687 Regiment when it was reorganized was the most unlucky among the commanders of the main regiments of the Eighth Route Army, and he was a little funny in his heart.

After Wang Lushui, Chen Yisheng, and Xiao Siming received the report that Commander Zhou Jianping had come to the county seat of Yuxian County, they welcomed them outside the city.

As soon as they met, Zhou Jianping even avoided greetings in person, and asked Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming directly: "I heard that you have captured two Type 92 infantry guns and twelve Type 92 heavy machine guns from the Japanese army?" ”

Xiao Siming realized that the big thing was not good, but he had to report honestly with Wang Lushui, "Yes!" ”

Zhou Jianping smiled when he landed, and said that he did a good job, the little devil also has a nose and two eyes, and he died after being shot! However, the little devil is indeed well-trained and not easy to fight! Fighting with the little devils is different from fighting with the national * army in the Soviet area, and we must study it well, learn the tactics and training methods of the devils, and learn how to equip them with weapons and equipment. Otherwise, it will not work to rely on the fierce attack of the soldiers, as in the days of the Red Army!

Zhou Jianping is worthy of being a graduate of the eighth phase of the Yunnan Lecture and Wutang, and he is worthy of being a veteran of our army.

After returning to the courtyard of the county government, Zhou Jianping listened carefully to Wang Lushui, Chen Yisheng, and Xiao Siming about a series of battles in Yuxian County.

After listening to the report, Zhou Jianping thought for a while and said: "At this stage, the main way for our army to fight against the Japanese army is to fight ambush warfare and attack warfare, and we cannot fight positional warfare with the Japanese army. Even in ambush warfare, we should also pay special attention to making good use of the terrain, choosing the most favorable ambush site for us, and concentrating all the firepower that can be concentrated. Otherwise, the ambush battle could also turn into a rout, or even a victory into a defeat! ”

Perhaps in order to explain his own point of view, or to instruct Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming, Zhou Jianping said: "Recently, I have carefully studied the firepower of the Japanese infantry squads, squadrons, and brigades. In this study, it was found that the little devil is not simple, and the firepower is very particular. At the squad level, each infantry squad has a light machine gun, which plays the role of suppressing fire and can cover the rifleman's accurate fire. During the battle, the grenadiers of the Japanese squad specialized in hitting our heavy machine guns and light machine guns. Just this one grenadier took advantage of it. The Japanese army's brigade is said to be equivalent to a battalion of our army, but in fact, the Chinese army is generally not satisfied, and in addition, the battle damage is not replenished in a timely manner, and a battalion is generally only about 3 or 400 people, but a Japanese army brigade has about 1,100 people, which is equivalent to our three infantry battalions. Moreover, the Japanese infantry brigade had two infantry guns, 12 heavy machine guns, and some were also equipped with mortars, and even strengthened tanks, armored vehicles, automobiles, motorcycles, and cavalry squadrons during combat, which was stronger than any of our regiments or even a division. Think about it, if we attack the position held by an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, a little farther away, the little devils will use infantry artillery and heavy machine gun sweeping; When they get closer, the little devil's light machine guns, grenadiers, and rifles will be powerful. The devil's gun is so accurate, our army's strong attack must have suffered heavy casualties. What I mean is that the firepower of the Japanese army is equipped in echelons, combining far and near, and to fight them, you have to use your brains and fight skillfully, and you can't do it brutely! You can't be arrogant and despise the Japanese army just because you won the battle, you will suffer a big loss! ”

Zhou Jianping said these truths, military fans on the Internet in later generations know, let alone Xiao Siming, who has crossed the soul. But this is the anti-Japanese battlefield in 1937, Zhou Jianping can say it so thoroughly, it is very remarkable!

Xiao Siming felt that he had really been taught, and respectfully reported that he must keep in mind the teachings of Commander Zhou, not forget the operational principles of our army that he learned when he studied at Kang Da, and not be hot-headed and not fight unprepared battles!

Zhou Jianping smiled with satisfaction, pointed at Xiao Siming and said: "You red ghost, I know, you are brave in battle, you are willing to use your brains when studying, your cultural foundation is good, and you are very promising." As long as you are not proud, the little devil will not want to take advantage of you! ”

Xiao Siming smiled.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jianping changed his words and said: "This time we ambushed the Japanese army in Shangshe, killing and wounding more than 100 Japanese soldiers, and the fight was not bad. It's a pity that the Japanese machine came quickly, and the firepower of the little devil's follow-up troops was fierce, resulting in basically no captures. It's still the 687th Regiment in time to reinforce it, otherwise we will have to suffer a big loss! My three detachments have just been formed, and they want money or not, guns or guns, and even clothing is a problem! It is said that it is a brigade detachment, but the whole detachment does not even have a heavy machine gun! Well, didn't you capture twelve heavy machine guns, transfer me six, each with at least 500 rounds of ammunition, and let me organize a heavy machine gun company! If you have a lot of light machine guns, give me some evenness. Forget it, you are also a newly formed unit, and I am embarrassed to reach out to you, so let's give you six light machine guns, each with 1,000 rounds of ammunition. The grenades of the Japanese army, give me 200 pieces. I don't want a rifle, I heard that you asked the platoon of the guerrilla brigade that was temporarily under your command to bring back all the equipment, and in addition to supporting Chen Yisheng's 15 38 big covers, this is already very good! I don't want those two infantry guns, give me six, and I'll send soldiers to learn how to use grenadiers with you!" By the way, is there any medicine? If you have it, take it out quickly, I want it, and the wounded are waiting for treatment! ”

Xiao Siming's scalp exploded when he listened, I really don't know if Zhou Jianping is here to guide condolences or to share the spoils!

Liu Daosheng is not very old, but he is very old, for fear that Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming will not agree, he hurriedly added: "Political Commissar Wang, Battalion Commander Xiao, the Jinchaji Military Region and you belong to the same 115th Division sequence, and our Eighth Route Army is a family." In this way, you will provide us with weapons and ammunition, and we will guarantee the supply of grain and grass for the independent battalion during the training period in Yuxian, and we will never let you suffer! ”

As soon as Liu Daosheng finished speaking, Zhou Jianping seemed to suddenly remember, and then said: "By the way, did you seize silver dollars and fiat currency from the devil?" If you have one, get me some first, a thousand, two thousand! ”

Wang Lushui is an old Red Army with a strong sense of organization and discipline, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly said: "Commander Zhou, we have the weapons and ammunition you want, and we can transfer them to you tomorrow." There are also medicines, there are still a lot, but yesterday the injured villagers in Yuxian County used a lot, there may not be much left, I will ask people to check in a while, see how many are left, all for you! However, I have to borrow your radio and report to the regimental, brigade, and division headquarters! ”

This Wang Lushui didn't even discuss with Xiao Siming, and directly made the decision!

No way, Wang Lushui is the first deputy director of the Political Training Office of the 685 Regiment, Xiao Siming turned out to be just a platoon commander, Wang Lushui is the supreme person in charge of the independent battalion, in his heart, Xiao Siming, who was born as a red ghost, it is impossible to disagree with his statement!

Xiao Siming has an idea in his heart!

It doesn't matter if the weapons and ammunition are there, there are more of them there, and when the troops complete the training, they can go to the little devils to get them. But after all, this is the spoils captured by the independent battalion, Xiao Siming is not willing to send it out like this, he has to talk about the conditions.
