After the 3rd Battalion withdrew to Pingyuan Town to join the 2nd Battalion, Liao Zhiyuan immediately arranged for a count of the results of the battle, the casualties, and the heroic deeds that emerged in the battle, and Zhu Aiguo's political office organized people to examine the Imperial Allied troops who had surrendered.

Only Liu Tianshu, as soon as he returned to Pingyuan Town, found a room at the temporary regiment headquarters outside the town, lay down on the kang and fell asleep.

Since the formation of the independent regiment, Liu Tianshu, the head of the regiment, has been much more relaxed in his affairs; Liao Zhifeng, the political commissar, has taken charge of ideological and political work, and Zhu Aiguo is in charge of the education and transformation of prisoners, political defense work, and intelligence work; Zhu Aiguo is in charge; Yang Donghu is watching the training of the troops; what he has to think about is how to fight devils, how to complete the combat tasks assigned by his superiors, and how to constantly expand the ranks.

Therefore, as soon as this battle is over, a series of follow-up work will be carried out by a few of them, and they will be happy to relax.

In the next twenty days, the devil didn't move at all, and then Liu Tianshu waited for Watanabe to be transferred, and a young man named Sasaki came to pick up the news of Watanabe's position.

At the same time, in order to strengthen the protection of the railway line, the devil specially set up a railway garrison, which is responsible for the protection of the railway line from Jinan to Qingdao.

And the original Watanabe Wing, now the Sasaki Wing, is mainly tasked with dealing with Liu Tianshu's Fuyashan Independent Regiment.

Knowing that the Japanese troops stationed in Fuchang County had changed their commanders, Liu Tianshu immediately asked the intelligence department of the Independent Regiment to try to get all the information about Sasaki.

With the continuous expansion of the anti-Japanese base area in Fuyashan, Xiang Shuyu's county party committee and county government also moved from Yaping Village to Pingyuan Town, which was close to the headquarters of the Independent Regiment.

In order to ensure the safety of Pingyuan Town, Liu Tianshu stationed the second battalion in Pingyuan Town and the third battalion in the area of Wangzhuang; at the same time, on the side of the Fuchang County Anti-Japanese Government, in addition to the county brigade, the Songkan District Squad and the Pingyuan District Squad were respectively set up to command the militia organizations in the villages around the two large towns, and the county brigade was used as a mobile force to defend the base area.

It has to be said that Xiang Shuyu, Zeng Wei, and Tang Shui have outstanding ability to work with the masses, and after the independent regiment recovered Pingyuan Town, Songkan Town, and Qinglong Valley, which were towns outside the Fuya Mountain, they immediately established local political power in these places, and at the same time vigorously developed militia organizations, which greatly improved the ability of the people in the base areas to deal with the sweep of devils.

Just when Liu Tianshu saw that the independent regiment had regained its combat effectiveness after nearly a month of rest, and was thinking about the next action, the detachment's telegram arrived.

"Tianshu, a main division of the Eighth Route Army is about to arrive in Shandong, and the detachment commander orders our independent regiment to be ready and enter the battle to meet the main force at any time." Liao Zhifeng came over happily with the telegram in his hand.

"What? The main forces are finally coming. Liu Tianshu was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the message and read it carefully. Seeing that the telegram clearly stated that Division Commander Chen Dai, together with Political Commissar Luo, would lead the main force of the division to the Shandong battlefield, and that the independent regiment should be prepared for a long-distance march and operation, and at the same time, the independent regiment should make all preparations for leaving the base area to fight.

"This is really good, as soon as the main force arrives, the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in Shandong will be better." Liu Tianshu said happily.

"Yes, Tianshu, we may have to leave Fuya Mountain this time, I'm worried that as soon as we leave, the devils will definitely sweep the base area, and we have to make arrangements in advance." Liao Zhifeng said with some concern.

"You're right, in this case, call Secretary Shuyu, the county magistrate of Tangshui and Captain Zeng, and let's discuss it first." Liu Tianshu pondered for a while and said.

Although the departure of the main division to Shandong was still a secret, it was still necessary to discuss with the three local leaders the arrangements for the independent regiment after leaving the base area. After all, according to the arrangement of the superiors, the independent regiment belongs to the field troops, and is not just an independent regiment in the Fuyashan anti-Japanese base area.

Xiang Shuyu, Tang Shui and Zeng Wei came to the headquarters of the Independent Regiment, saw Liu Tianshu and Liao Zhifeng sitting inside, and after greeting each other, Xiang Shuyu said with a smile: "The two leaders are busy with military affairs, how can they have time to meet us today." ”

"Lao Liao, hehe, Secretary Shuyu is blaming us for not taking the initiative to report to the county party committee, and coordinating with the local party committee and government, but it's your political commissar's business." Liu Tianshu said with a smile.

When Xiang Shuyu heard this, she couldn't help but blush slightly, "Yanda's top students are different, I can't talk about you." ”

After chatting with each other for a few words, Liu Tianshu looked at a few people and asked: "Several leaders, the base area has expanded a lot during this time, Lao Liao and I have been busy with the training and replenishment of the troops, and I don't know how many people the base area has now?" Can you introduce a few leaders? ”

As the commander of the independent regiment, he spent more time on how to fight devils and how to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, and really cared little about local affairs.

Hearing what he said, Tang Shui immediately introduced the situation of the anti-Japanese base area in Fuya Mountain. Only then did Liu Tianshu and Liao Zhifeng learn that in addition to the two large towns of Songkan and Pingyuan, there are a total of 129 Dashao villages with a population of more than 37,000, of which half of the villages are in the Fuya Mountains and half of the villages are in the hilly areas of Songkan Town and Pingyuan Town. In these villages, party organizations and various anti-Japanese mass organizations have been established, and militia organizations have also been formed. In addition, the county brigade has three squadrons with more than 300 people, and the two district squadrons of Songkan and Pingyuan each have more than 100 people.

When Tang Shui was introduced, Liu Tianshu was silently calculating in his heart. When he found that the population of the base area was less than 40,000, but the independent regiment, the county brigade and district squad, and the county staff were almost 3,000 people, he couldn't help frowning.

A base area of less than 40,000 people has to bear the burden of providing for 3,000 people, that is, one person for every 10 people, which is a heavy responsibility.

While Tang Shui introduced, he noticed that Liu Tianshu was silent, and he had some doubts in his heart.

It wasn't until Tang Shui finished introducing that Liu Tianshu didn't speak, and asked Shuyu strangely, "Head Liu, what are you thinking?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Tianshu came back to his senses, looked at a few people and smiled, "I didn't think about anything." By the way, Captain Zeng, how is the weaponry of the county brigade? In addition, the district squad and the militia of the villages, how are the weapons and ammunition they need solved? ”

When Zeng Wei heard this, he scratched his head embarrassedly, looked at Liu Tianshu and said: "Commander Liu, the county brigade currently guarantees that each person has a rifle, but the bullets are less than twenty rounds, and many people in the district squad still use big knives, as for the village soldiers, half of them have no weapons. ”

"What about letting the villages build their own mines, as mentioned last time?" Liu Tianshu thought of the fact that the county brigade had sent people to Qingyang Mountain to learn how to build mines, and he remembered this incident.

"In addition to the high enthusiasm of the villages on the edge of the base area, the enthusiasm of the masses in the villages in the center of the base area is not high." When Tang Shui thought of this question, he felt a headache.

However, the villages in the center of the base area, especially the villages in the Fuya Mountains, have no interest in building mines, and they think that the devils have been frightened by the independent regiment and do not dare to come to the depths of the Fuya Mountains at all, and after the mines are planted, they will also affect the people in the village to grow crops and also affect the people to graze sheep and cattle.

After listening to the introductions of several people, Liu Tianshu nodded and said: "Secretary Shuyu, Tang County Magistrate, Captain Zeng, although the devils in Fuchang County were attacked by the independent regiment and temporarily gave up the sweep of the base area, but with the arrival of Sasaki, it can be expected that the devils will not give up." Your county party committee must remind the villagers to be vigilant, and all villages must make plans in advance to deal with the sweep of devils, especially when winter is approaching, if we do not increase our vigilance, once the devils suddenly sweep and rob the villagers of food, clothing and other things for the winter, the consequences will be serious. In this way, Captain Zeng, the independent regiment still has a batch of guns in hand, and you will send someone to get 200 of them back, and at the same time, I suggest that you set up a mine arsenal in Yaping Village and try your best to produce more mines. ”

The Independent Regiment captured a lot during this period, especially after laying down the arsenal of the Chengou Devils, the Independent Regiment got a lot of good things. It is not difficult to take out 200 guns to support the county brigade.

Hearing that the Independent Regiment promised to support 200 rifles, Zeng Wei's eyes lit up, and he excitedly thanked the two leaders.

When Xiang Shuyu saw that Liu Tianshu had repeatedly emphasized the need to build more mines, and at the same time asked the county brigade to step up training and improve combat effectiveness, a thought flashed through his mind.

When he was about to leave the regiment headquarters, Xiang Shuyu found Liu Tianshu.

"Commander Liu, does your independent regiment have a new mission?" When he said this, Xiang Shuyu's heart was full of nervousness.

At this time, there were only two of them in the house.

Liu Tianshu was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Shuyu County Magistrate, the independent regiment has not received a new task for the time being, however, the anti-Japanese situation in Shandong is very severe, and the Rongshan base area in the east has heard that it has been swept by devils many times, and life is very difficult. In order to cope with other base areas, I personally think that the higher authorities may allow the independent regiment to temporarily leave the base area and enter the outer line of operations. Therefore, I think you must be prepared in advance to deal with the devil sweep alone once the main force of the independent regiment leaves the base area. ”

"Commander Liu, although the devils stationed in Fuchang County have suffered heavy losses after being attacked by the independent regiment many times, according to intelligence, the devils have supplemented the Japanese army units in Fuchang County not long ago, and once the independent regiment leaves, we may have to retreat to the mountains and persist in the struggle." Xiang Shuyu's face was full of worry.

"Secretary Shuyu, don't worry, even if the Independent Regiment wants to carry out the task of fighting on the outside line, I will do my best to leave a unit for you. However, you must pay close attention to the matter of using mines for the militia in the villages of the church. Liu Tianshu said solemnly.

The Fuya Mountain Anti-Japanese Base Area has condensed too much of his efforts, and he is reluctant to let the devils destroy it. (To be continued.) )
