It was an opportunity to meet Zhao Changshou, who had gone to Japan to study in Jingshang Village.

Before Xiao Siming's soul crossed, he was a special operations elite with Yi Jin and a training staff officer of a certain group army, and there were many ways to deal with the little devils at this time. But after all, he is a military commander, and it is impossible for him to leave the army to carry out special operations attacks and snipers.

Xiao Siming urgently needs to form a short and concise special combat team to carry out some tasks that cannot be carried out by large troops. But it's not so easy to form a special combat team, don't say anything else, just not being able to speak Japanese, can make Xiao Siming's idea of forming a special combat team stillborn! This is a war against the Japanese army, you can't speak Japanese, you can't understand the Japanese army's language, no matter how high the quality of your individual soldiers, you can't carry out special operations missions well.

Xiao Siming understands Japanese, but he doesn't have time to teach soldiers Japanese. You need a dedicated Japanese teacher to do this!

With Zhao Changshou, this problem is solved!

Zhao Changshou was actually reluctant to be transferred to the independent battalion, mainly because the independent battalion was the main force, and it was definitely impossible to stay in Shouyang forever, and he was a native of Shouyang, with a family and a business, and it was difficult to give up his homeland. But because he was a member of the Kuomintang and worked in the anti-Japanese democratic government organized by the Communist Party, he was most afraid that others would say that he was backward and talk about his status as a member of the Kuomintang, so he had to agree to Xiao Siming.

Again, Zhao Changshou saw that the independent battalion was strong and well-equipped, and captured so many ammunition supplies, and knew that this was a real elite unit of the Eighth Route Army.

Under the influence of several factors, Zhao Changshou, who was shot dead by Secretary Li of the Shouyang County Party Committee on charges of "sabotaging the united front and being suspected of being a Trotskyist," finally agreed to be transferred to work in the independent battalion!

Xiao Siming is a ruthless person!

As soon as Zhao Changshou agreed to be transferred to work in the independent battalion, Xiao Siming sent Xu Yan, the chief of the political and educational section, and Mei Ying, the chief of the propaganda section, to take him back to the Lunan Anti-Japanese Democratic Government to handle the handover, and after he returned, he asked him to start compiling Japanese textbooks, so that Zhao Changshou didn't even have time to catch his breath!

After sending off Secretary Li and County Magistrate Su, Wang Lushui began to sit at the table again to draft telegrams, which seemed to be written for a long time and revised repeatedly. Xiao Siming went to the field hospital of Wang Dao to visit the wounded.

Wang Lushui, who could no longer hold back, immediately ordered Chen Qiang and Zhao Xiuhong to turn on the radio station, and he wanted to send a report to the division headquarters and the four subdivisions of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region on the combat situation of the independent battalion and listen to instructions!

It may be that the reminder of the deputy battalion commander Zheng Xiuchuan when he was at the stone measuring station yesterday played a role, or it may be that Xiao Siming has a lot of eyes, anyway, before Wang Lushui sent the report, Xiao Siming euphemistically reported that he wanted to see how the telegrams from the political commissar to the division headquarters were written.

Wang Lushui reprimanded Xiao Siming, saying that he would tell him what he should know, and he shouldn't read what he shouldn't know, but he didn't let him read the telegram, and said that this was discipline!

Wang Lushui is the political commissar of the regiment, and Xiao Siming is only the battalion commander. The telegram sent by the regimental political commissar to the division headquarters was naturally not read by the subordinate battalion commanders. Wang Lushui is right in criticism!

Discipline is discipline, but Xiao Siming was full of slander at Wang Lushui's words in his heart, so he had to honestly say to Wang Lushui: "Political commissar, please think about it, the four Gaoping dual-purpose guns and four Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns captured from the Japanese army's ironclad patrol car at the stone measuring station cannot be written into the telegram. ”

Wang Lushui asked why? He also said that such a major capture represented the new level of equipment of the Eighth Route Army, which had to be reported to the superiors. Concealment and failure to report is a violation of discipline!

Xiao Siming explained that the independent battalion should stay on both sides of Zhengtai Road to fight guerrillas, and it may fall into the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army at any time, and this Gaoping dual-purpose gun and Gaoping dual-purpose machine gun are the sharp weapons of the independent battalion against Japanese planes and tanks, and they cannot be handed over to the division headquarters, so they must stay in the independent battalion and turn around to form an air defense team to specifically undertake the task of fighting tanks and planes and covering the battlefield!

This time, Wang Lushui listened, thought about it, and said: "Discipline must not be violated!" You have to report the results truthfully! In this case, I will change the telegram again, and write in it the proposal that the independent battalion wants to create an air defense unit, and ask the chiefs to decide! ”

Seeing that Wang Lushui's attitude had loosened, Xiao Siming hurriedly hit the snake with the stick, and immediately suggested that all the captured mountain artillery shells could be handed over, and I heard that the headquarters used the nine mountain artillery of the Jin Sui Army picked up from the battlefield to set up a headquarters artillery regiment, but there were no shells. The caliber of the mountain artillery of the Japanese army and the mountain artillery of the Jin Sui Army should be the same, both are 75 mm, and these mountain artillery shells can form the combat effectiveness of the headquarters artillery regiment. However, captured infantry artillery shells had to be reported to the division headquarters and left in the separate battalion. Because the Eighth Route Army system only has six Type 92 infantry guns in the independent battalion, it is useless for other troops to go! Also, in principle, it should be recommended that all the bullets captured by the Japanese army be left to the independent battalion, because the independent battalion is all Japanese-style equipment, and other units cannot meet this standard! And also......

Without waiting for Xiao Siming to say any more, Wang Lushui interrupted him, looked at him with a very unfamiliar eye, and asked Xiao Siming if he still knew Xiao Siming, the little red ghost who came from the Long March? Why did it get longer and more and more to fall back, and I didn't even understand that all the captures should be credited, and all I had in my head was the small abacus of the independent battalion, and I didn't even have a little concept of the overall situation!

Xiao Siming was dumbfounded, and he couldn't go on anymore!

As a result, Wang Lushui added the content of the independent battalion's request for the establishment of an air defense team to the telegram, and asked Chen Qiang to send it, and it was sent to the headquarters of the 115th Division and the Fourth Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region at the same time!

Zhou Jianping, commander of the Fourth Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, who assigned them a task, was always worried about the safety of the independent battalion, not knowing whether they would be able to smoothly break out of the encirclement of the Japanese army.

When the independent battalion withdrew from the county seat of Yuxian, it had only one 15-watt transceiver, and the contact range was within 10 kilometers. Zhou Jianping knew this, but he had illusions in his heart, fantasizing about whether he could get a little news of the independent battalion from the troops of the 129th Division in the south of Zhengtai Road!

The news of whether the independent battalion broke out of the encirclement was not received, but Zhou Jianping received the news that the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region had heard from the Japanese puppet radio. This is enough, Zhou Jianping can already judge from it that the Japanese army has suffered a big loss at the Nianzigou and Shishi stations, and he also knows that the independent battalion really carried out a poison gas bomb attack on the Japanese army during the operation! Because in the entire Eighth Route Army system, and even in the entire Chinese army system, only the independent battalion captured so many gas bombs from the Japanese army. If you want to fight, you want victory! For the sake of victory, it was only appropriate to attack the Japanese army with the poison gas bombs of the captured Japanese army. Didn't the Japanese army often use poison gas bombs to attack the positions of the Chinese army? This is called treating oneself the way of others!

After receiving Wang Lushui's telegram, Zhou Jianping was ecstatic, and on the one hand forwarded the telegram to Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the headquarters of the 115th Division, and on the other hand, he sent a telegram instructing the independent battalion to escort Wang Lushui to the Taiyue Mountains, and then contacted the troops of the 129th Division, and sent a small unit to cooperate with the 129th Division to escort Wang Lushui back to the building, and the main force of the independent battalion stayed in the hinterland of Jinzhong to fight guerrillas. Reduce the pressure on the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border region.

As for the trophies of the independent battalion's resistance to the battle in Nianzigou and the attack on the stone measuring station, Zhou Jianping did not make any further requests. Because of the Zhengtai Railway, Zhou Jianping said that he wanted the independent battalion to send the spoils back to the Fourth Division, but he couldn't do it!

Last time in Yuxian, Zhou Jianping had already taken six Type 92 heavy machine guns, six Type 96 light machine guns, six grenadiers, 200 grenades, 2,000 silver dollars and ammunition from the seizures of the independent battalion. These weapons and ammunition played a role in the battle in which the three detachments blocked the attack on the county seat of Yuxian County from Shouyang and Pingding. If it weren't for this part of the weapons and ammunition, I'm afraid that the three detachments would not have fought the Japanese army head-on, and they could only retreat after an ambush!

Allowing the independent battalion to conduct guerrilla operations in the hinterland of central Jin, and to mobilize and contain the Japanese army, was a battle plan finalized by the independent battalion before leaving Yuxian County, and it was also in line with the order of the 115th Division to cooperate with the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to fight and respond to the five detachments to fight and conduct guerrilla attacks along the Zhengtai Road when the division headquarters of the 115th Division formed an independent battalion.

Zhou Jianping's telegram was the first call from a superior received by the independent battalion radio station!

The results of the independent battalion this time are too great, and the big ones are incredible!

Therefore, after receiving Wang Lushui's telegram, the headquarters of the 115th Division immediately called Wang Lushui, asking Wang Lushui to report in detail the accurate number of the enemy destroyed, the number of the Japanese troops annihilated, and the number and type of weapons and equipment captured. It is equivalent to asking Wang Lushui to refine the telegram he just sent and report it in more detail!

Xiao Siming was about to order the troops to set off and continue to move to the southwest, Wang Lushui found him and asked the company and platoon cadres to gather for a meeting to verify the results again!

Xiao Siming had no choice but to gather the cadres.

This time, Wang Lushui didn't say that he wouldn't let Xiao Siming read the telegram he drafted, but spread out the telegram draft on the table and asked the cadres to check it one by one, pick up the missing and fill in the gaps, and strive to be accurate!

After Wang Lushui's second telegram was sent, it didn't take long for the 115th Division headquarters to arrive, ordering the independent battalion to escort the baggage to the Taiyue Mountains, and the division headquarters would immediately transfer the 2nd Battalion of the 685th Regiment and the 1st Battalion of the 686th Regiment, led by Director Luo Ronghuan, to the Taiyue Mountains to meet the independent battalion.

In the telegram from the division headquarters, the marching route and the place of contact of the independent battalion were determined!

This telegram did not mention a single word about letting the main force of the independent battalion stay in the hinterland of Jinzhong, nor did it reiterate that the independent battalion cooperated with the Jin-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to fight, planned for the five detachments to fight, and fought on Zhengtai Road, which was tantamount to vetoing Zhou Jianping's order!

The reason why this is the case, Xiao Siming privately guessed, is that the division headquarters wants the independent battalion to transport the loot back in its entirety and replenish the main force of the division!

It may be that the 115th Division immediately reported to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and Yan'an after receiving Wang Lushui's telegram, or it may be that Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region reported to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and Yan'an. The headquarters has ordered the 129th Division to send troops to Mafang to meet the independent battalion, and after the independent battalion gets in touch with the 129th Division's receiving troops, it will hand over more than 400 Jin-made rifles, 10 Czech machine guns, and 100,000 rounds of ammunition seized from Jueshan Temple in Lingshou County to the 129th Division to supplement the 129th Division's troops! After that, the 129th Division sent troops to escort Wang Lushui and the captured weapons and ammunition supplies to the Taiyue Mountains to meet the receiving troops of the 115th Division. The independent battalion still carried out the original combat mission of the 115th Division, and fought independently in the guerrilla attack on Zhengtai Road.

"Independent combat" is most in line with Xiao Siming's taste!

In the telegram order from the headquarters, the independent battalion was also ordered to hand over all the captured four Gaoping dual-purpose guns, four Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns, and ammunition, and transfer them back to Yan'an to form an air defense force; The independent battalion was ordered to hand over all the six captured infantry guns, mountain artillery and infantry artillery shells, the mountain artillery shells to supplement the headquarters artillery regiment, and the infantry artillery and artillery shells to be transferred back to the river defense unit in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region to form an artillery battalion to defend the Yellow River defense.

The light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, Japanese rifles, pistols, bullets, grenades, and explosives packages seized by the independent battalion were ordered by the headquarters to say that except for the needs of leaving the independent battalion to be fully staffed, the rest would be handed over to the 129th Division to be escorted to the Taiyue Mountains, and the 115th Division would take them back, and the 115th Division would give priority to supplementing the troops of the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division! The captured rice, white flour, medicines, and funds were all handed over to the 115th Division of the headquarters of Hull, except for the combat supplies necessary for the independent battalion. Even the steel rails that had been buried were ordered by the headquarters to be handed over to the 129th Division to receive the troops.

Several telegram orders arrived one after another, so that Xiao Siming didn't know whose orders he should execute!

Deputy battalion commander Zheng Xiuchuan was very reluctant and muttered: "The independent battalion has become a fat pig!" ”

Wang Lushui is nothing, because in his ideology, these seized weapons and ammunition, rice, and white flour themselves must all be handed over! It's just that he didn't expect that even the six infantry guns equipped by the artillery team of the independent battalion would have to be handed in! This was really unexpected!

There is no way, the equipment of the Eighth Route Army is so poor, the entire army does not even have anti-aircraft guns! To the Japanese aircraft, Yan'an was equivalent to an undefended city. The little devil plane can bomb whenever it wants, and it can be bombed as much as it wants.

Seeing that the troops had captured the Japanese army's Gaoping dual-purpose guns and Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns, the first thing that came to mind was the air defense problem in Yan'an, and these air defense weapons must be transferred back to Yan'an as soon as possible!

As for the six infantry guns equipped by the artillery of the independent battalion to be transferred back to the river defense units in Yan'an, it is also normal. The Japanese army will definitely get a glimpse of our river defense positions, and if there is an artillery battalion, it can effectively deal with the Japanese troops who attempt to cross the river.

Yan'an's air defense and the strengthening of river defense forces are obviously more important!

The hard-earned belongings of the independent battalion were transferred away with a telegram from the superiors!
