Chapter XXXIII Independent Battalion of the 115th Division

The reason why Xiao Siming said that Mei Ying was his object in front of Zhang Shaodong and others was because he wanted to solve the problem once and for all and avoid getting into trouble!

Mei Ying is so beautiful that even Xiao Siming, who has crossed the soul, is tempted, not to mention others?

During the period of the Red Army, the Soviet area was in the midst of an anti-encirclement and suppression operation for a long time, and many cadres did not have the opportunity to get married and start a family. After the Long March arrived in northern Shaanxi, it stabilized, and many young intellectuals in the Kuomintang region yearned for the light and defected to Yan'an to participate in the revolution. There were many young women among them, and the Red Army cadres had the opportunity to find a partner to fall in love. If there are no restrictions, the cadres will swarm to talk about the marriage of their partners, and if they fall into the nest of gentleness, it will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. However, after ten years of the domestic revolutionary war, the young Red Army cadres had reached the marriageable age, and even the red imps of that year were all in their twenties, and they were not allowed to fall in love and get married. There was no way, Yan'an had no choice but to issue the regulations of the 258th Regiment, that is, 25 years old, eight years of military experience, and regiment-level cadres, who meet the conditions, can fall in love and get married with the approval of the organization. Those who do not meet the requirements are not only not allowed to fall in love, but will also be criticized and educated by the organization, and even punished.

It's actually a disciplinary restriction!

People are not human beings when they go to the battlefield, and their lives are not as good as grass when they go to the battlefield. This is the Anti-Japanese War era, the soldier's head is pinned to the waistband of his trousers, who knows which battle was sacrificed? If a cadre who meets the regulations of the 258th Regiment meets Mei Ying and takes a fancy to him, he will definitely report to the organization without hesitation and ask for help from the organization. In this way, the organization will definitely come forward to do Mei Ying's work, once not twice, twice but three times, unless Mei Ying resolutely refuses, or she has a partner, under normal circumstances, the organization will try to do her work.

Xiao Siming was indeed tempted by Mei Ying, he fell in love with her, and saw that Secretary Lan was reluctant to give up on Mei Ying and wanted to do something, so he immediately made a decision and directly said that Mei Ying was his object, and also made threats. This means to tell everyone, don't fight Mei Ying's idea, Mei Ying is already famous!

A good wine, so that Lan Guoqing was cheap, and he couldn't drink it.

Xiao Siming originally wanted to ask Zhang Shaodong for the backbone of the Red Army by drinking, even if it was ten or eight people, but at this time he lost interest and stopped talking.

The atmosphere in the room was cold all at once!

It just so happened that Wang Lushui, Zhou Jianping, and Liu Daosheng came back after sending a telegram, and as soon as they saw the wine and food on the table, Zhou Jianping's face turned black, and splitting his head and covering his face was a criticism!

It is said that the 687 Regiment does not belong to the sequence of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region or the 343 Brigade, and they originally came to reinforce the Fourth Division to fight, and Zhou Jianping has no right to criticize the leadership of the 687 Regiment. But Zhou Jianping's qualifications are too old, more than 20 years older than these people, Zhang Shaodong and others, including Xiao Siming, can only be honestly trained!

After approving the call, Zhou Jianping asked Liu Daosheng to take out the telegram from the commander of the 344 Brigade and hand it to Zhang Shaodong, saying that Brigade Commander Xu and Political Commissar Huang ordered the 687 Regiment to go to Pingshan, and the 344 Brigade would transfer troops to form the 689 Regiment.

Zhang Shaodong took the telegram and read it, and said, "Director Cui is the political commissar of the 689th Regiment," and handed the telegram to Tian Shouyao and Cui Tianmin.

Xiao Siming knew that this was the proposal of Division Commander Lin, and the purpose was to preserve the inheritance of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi. After Brigade Commander Xu of the 344 Brigade reported to Yan'an and the General Headquarters, the General Headquarters approved the establishment of the 689 Regiment on the basis of the troops organized by the Red 26th Route Army of the Red 26th Route Army of the Red Army in Northern Shaanxi in the 344 Brigade, with Han Xianchu, deputy commander of the 688 Regiment, as the head of the regiment, and Cui Tianmin, director of the Political Department of the 687 Regiment, as the political commissar. In a few days, that is, on December 18, the 689th Regiment will be officially established in Pingshan County. Since then, our army has had another anti-Japanese force!

The 687th Regiment cooperated with Xiao Siming and their second battalion to pursue the Japanese army, which was all the Red Army of Northern Shaanxi, and this time the whole battalion was ordered to be incorporated into the 689th Regiment.

Xiao Siming was concerned about the fate of his troops, and his eyes looked straight at Wang Lushui's face.

Wang Lushui handed Xiao Siming a telegram, which was a telegram order sent by the headquarters of the 115th Division, ordering the formation of an independent battalion of the 115th Division of the 18th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with three infantry companies under its jurisdiction, and the battalion directly under the special service platoon, artillery platoon, heavy machine gun platoon, engineer platoon, baggage platoon, and communication platoon.

The order said that the independent battalion would be trained in Yuxian for one month. After completing the training, he cooperated with the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to fight, and planned to fight with Zeng Guohua's five detachments, and attacked the Japanese supply line on the Zhengtai line.

As for Wang Lushui, the division headquarters telegraphed him to guide the reorganization and training of the independent battalion in Yuxian County, and to announce the reorganization order to the independent battalion on behalf of the division headquarters. After the independent battalion completed the reorganization, the independent battalion escorted Wang Lushui back to the team.

After reading the telegram, Xiao Siming was naturally full of joy. Because of the telegraphic order from the division headquarters, the independent battalion was transferred from the 685th Regiment and the 343rd Brigade sequence, and it was directly under the command of the division headquarters, and it could independently maneuver on the Zhengtai Line. But as soon as he saw Zhou Jianping's dark face, Xiao Siming's joy in his heart didn't dare to show it. He knew that Commander Zhou must have reported to Commander Nie, and Commander Nie also contacted the headquarters of the 115th Division, but it was not negotiated, and the division headquarters only agreed to cooperate with the independent battalion to fight with the Jin-Cha-Ji troops, and did not agree to directly integrate the independent battalion into the Jin-Cha-Ji Fourth Division.

Xiao Siming's guess was right, the reason why Zhou Jianping and they had been sending the report for so long was to wait for Commander Nie to coordinate with the 115th Division.

Wang Lushui first sent a report to the 685th Regiment, and the commander of the 685th Regiment sent a telegram back asking Wang Lushui to immediately return to the independent battalion, and all the captured weapons and ammunition were transported back to the regiment headquarters. The reason is that the 685th Regiment rebuilt the second battalion with more than 1,000 people newly recruited from Jinnan, which made up for the vacancy after the transfer of the old second battalion and the lack of weapons and ammunition.

Zhou Jianping was not satisfied with the reply of the 685 Regiment, thinking that he was the deputy brigade commander of the 343 Brigade when he was reorganized, so he directly sent a report to the 343 Brigade Headquarters, requesting that the troops raised by Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming in Yuxian County be incorporated into the Jinchaji Fourth Division and upgraded to a brigade.

Chen Guang, the commander of the 343 Brigade, was a famous general of the Central Red Army, and he was the commander of the Second Red Division during the Long March.

Chen Guang is not playing ball, but telling the truth, he really can't be a homemaker!

Zhou Jianping felt that his report to the headquarters of the 115th Division was not good, so he could only send a telegram urging Commander Nie to contact the headquarters of the 115th Division quickly. Telegrams came and went, and Division Commander Lin of the 115th Division took a compromise method to let the independent battalion complete its reorganization and cooperate with the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, but did not agree to integrate the independent battalion into the sequence of the four divisions of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

Zhou Jianping was full of hope that the independent battalion of Yishi's Japanese-style equipment would be incorporated into his own troops to enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops, but his wish could not be realized, and when he saw Xiao Siming and Zhang Shaodong drinking, he was angry, and naturally he wanted to train these people with a head and face.

Historically, tomorrow, that is, December 15, the Japanese army stationed in Pingding County will attack Yuxian again, the three detachments and the 687th regiment ambushed in Qingcheng Town, south of the county, and eliminated 200 Japanese troops, but failed to stop the pace of the Japanese attack, the Japanese army occupied Yuxian County that night, and hurriedly evacuated early the next morning. The main forces of the 687th Regiment and the three detachments should have taken the initiative to transfer after the ambush and withdrew to Pingshan County. The 344 Brigade completed the task of forming the 689 Regiment in Pingshan County. Later, due to the Japanese army occupying Yuxian again in January 1938, and gradually controlling the strategic points of Yuxian, Yuxian County became a guerrilla area, and the main force of the three detachments was active in Pingshan County, Zhou Jianping relapsed due to old injuries in June 1938 and died of illness in Xiaojue Town, Pingshan County.

Now, Xiao Siming appeared in the sky, and the Japanese army that set out from Shouyang to attack Yuxian suffered heavy casualties, and it seems that the little devils in Pingding will not attack Yuxian again tomorrow. Because until now, I have not received any information about the dispatch of devils.

There was no information on the enemy's situation, and Zhou Jianping was not able to return the independent revenue to his command, so he was not in a very good mood, so after letting a few people read the telegram, he told him to rest early and send the troops of the 687th Regiment to Pingshan early tomorrow morning.

The night was too late, and Zhou Jianping's health was not very good, so after explaining, he let Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming go.

During the war years, work was efficient!

After the morning exercise the next day and seeing off the comrades of the 687th Regiment, Chen Yisheng took 50 soldiers from the guerrilla brigade of Mengpingyang Shouyu County with his bare hands to find Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming. That posture is what made Xiao Siming fulfill his promise!

Xiao Siming was reluctant to let the 27 guerrilla fighters who had been incorporated into his wounded team to fight leave, but he also knew that the guerrilla brigade of Mengpingyang Shouyu 5 counties needed these combat backbones to return to the team, so he had no choice but to order the 27 fighters who had been organized in each platoon, including Han Chunyi, the current deputy platoon commander of the fourth platoon, and Yang Tong, the deputy captain of the baggage team, to return to the team!

When these fighters returned to the team, each of them carried a 38 large cover on his shoulder, two bullet boxes and four small melon grenades hanging from his waist. Platoon commander Han Chunyi and deputy platoon commander Yang Tong have a three-eight big cover for each person, and they also have a Wang Ba box hanging on their waists, so they almost don't hang binoculars.

As for the support that Xiao Siming promised to support 15 38 big covers, Chen Yisheng also took them away at one time, and Xiao Siming also asked Xiao Siming to give 100 rounds of ammunition for each gun!

As soon as Chen Yisheng left, Zhou Jianping, commander of the Fourth Division, came with three detachments and took away six Type 92 heavy machine guns, six Type 96 light machine guns, six grenadiers, and 200 small melon grenades.

The Type 92 heavy machine guns were equipped with 500 rounds each, and the Type 96 light machine guns were equipped with 1,000 rounds each.

What made Zhou Jianping happiest was that Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming also gave him some Western medicine and 2,000 silver dollars.

Ye Changgeng, the captain of the three detachments who followed Zhou Jianping to receive weapons and ammunition, said to Wang Lushui happily that with these six new heavy machine guns and six light machine guns with a daily average, when the little devils come again, they can let them drink a pot!

Ye Changgeng's father is a hunter, he learned to shoot with his father since he was a child, and he is a famous sharpshooter in the Red Army. His story was written into a book, from porter to general.

Zhou Jianping led the three detachments to leave happily, Wang Lushui struck while the iron was hot, asked Xiao Siming to gather the team, and read out the reorganization order of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army!

"115th Division Independent Battalion", a name that frightened the Japanese invaders, was born!
