In the next few days, Ma Zheng ordered the troops to divide into dozens of small detachments to go deep into the rural areas of Fengzhen, Qianqi, Xinghe, and other places to recruit troops, and at the same time focus on publicizing the anti-Japanese policy of the Eighth Route Army and the glorious achievements of the anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment in southern Chanan.

At the same time, Ma Zheng took Yun Jian to turn around the terrain of Hades Mountain and its vicinity, and gave Yun Jian a detailed introduction to the basic situation of the detachment. In order to let everyone know more about this new political commissar, Ma Zheng also called the military and political commanders above the platoon commander and held several meetings in a row.

With the in-depth understanding of Yama Mountain and the anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment in Chanan, Yun Jian became more and more surprised by this unit and Ma Zheng. Some time ago, the incident of the first battalion of the teaching regiment being completely annihilated by the Japanese army caused an uproar in the entire 120th Division, but now it seems that the division headquarters has a very limited understanding of this unit. A guerrilla detachment of nearly 4,000 people, is this still the remnant of the army two months ago, who will believe it?

Yun Jian is also an old Red Army, and he knows the basic situation of the troops of various factions in the country very well. As far as he knew, whether it was the Eighth Route Army or other places, the vast majority of infantry regiments were only three battalions of ordinary regiments, and the total strength was generally about 1,005. Even in many units, there are small regiments of 2 battalions, and the whole regiment is generally about 1,000.

However, the anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment in Chanan had more than 4,000 people, which was equivalent to a fully manned infantry brigade. In addition, the uniqueness of this unit is not only reflected in the number of troops, but also in its types and equipment that are very different from the Eighth Route Army that everyone knows.

In addition to the regular infantry, this unit actually has cavalry, artillery, medical guards, and even an unheard of special forces. The equipment is even more luxurious and drooling, and all the soldiers, even the recruits who have just joined the army, are each a temporary new three-eight big cover.

In addition, there is heavy firepower, according to the regulations of the Chanan guerrilla detachment, a field squad must have at least one machine gun squad, armed with two light machine guns. A squadron should have at least one machine-gun squad, armed with four heavy machine guns. And an infantry brigade has at least a squadron of machine guns, not only light and heavy machine guns, but even mortars and infantry guns.

In addition to these, the Chanan guerrilla detachment also has an independent machine gun squadron, and although this machine gun squadron is only a squadron level, it has more than 600 people. It is equipped with 12 Japanese-made 75mm mountain guns, 8 Type 92 infantry guns, 24 mortars, and one light and heavy machine gun squad.

According to Yun Jian's statistics, the Chanan guerrilla detachment now has three infantry brigades and three technical squadrons and one special combat unit, and in terms of weapons, it is equipped with 2,700 Type 38 rifles, 66 heavy machine guns, 114 light machine guns, 60 artillery pieces of various kinds, and a few grenadiers, but there are also 120 grenadiers. Such a powerful firepower is only stronger than a division of the Kuomintang, and it is even stronger than other units of the Eighth Route Army.

Perhaps it is precisely because of these family backgrounds that this horse captain has such a hard waist and dares to go head-to-head with the most elite Kwantung Army of the Japanese army, and also annihilated almost all the infantry of the Sakai Brigade in one fell swoop.

In addition, these days, Yunjian also found that the soldiers of the anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment in Chanan had a very good military quality, and it was hard to imagine that they were almost wiped out by the little devils two months ago. What is even more unimaginable is that the vast majority of the soldiers of this army were bandits before, how to look at this army is also a division of a hundred battles, although most of the soldiers are very young, but the spirit of prohibition, vigorous and resolute, decisive killing, unruly and disciplined, even the veteran elite in the Eighth Route Army can not be compared.

Yun Jian is trying to blend in with this powerful and strange force, and Ma Zheng is also getting to know his partner from the perspective of a bystander. In fact, according to the current practice of the Eighth Route Army, Yun Jian is the supreme commander of this unit, because he is the political commissar, and he has to manage not only the political work of the troops, but also the personnel of the troops, and even intervene in specific battles, and this situation will not change until after the battle in Snow Village.

However, Ma Zheng found that his partner was a smart man who knew what to do and what not to meddle in, and these days he has done almost everything about the political work of the army, and he has done a good job, and the political atmosphere of the army seems to have become stronger all of a sudden. However, he rarely interferes in military affairs, and even never interferes in personnel appointments.

In addition, Ma Zheng also found that his partner was also a restless person in his bones, and when he talked about training and fighting, his eyes lit up, combined with his resume, Ma Zheng knew that Yun Jian was still a military commander in his bones.

Ma Zheng has seen Yunjian's performance these days, and he didn't say anything, but the evaluation was just two words - perfect!

The effect of recruiting troops is very good, and with these several major battles, the Chanan guerrilla detachment has completely opened up the situation in the areas of Fengzhen and Qianqi, and many ordinary people know that there is an anti-Japanese team stationed on Hades Mountain that can win battles. Therefore, when the recruitment team went down to recruit troops, many people enthusiastically signed up, and in less than a week, more than 800 people were recruited.

At the same time, the nearby bandit guards also knew the attitude of Ma Zheng's subordinates towards them, and some of them took the initiative to join the Eighth Route Army, while the other part was to take a long distance. For a time, the Japanese did not dare to come within a radius of nearly 100 miles centered on Mount Hades, and the bandits were gone, and the lives of the common people had never been as stable as they are now.

However, Ma Zheng knew that this kind of stability was only temporary, and the Japanese army's character of retribution would definitely not wait for them to sit down. The main reason why they did not continue to attack Hades Mountain now was because the Japanese army was stunned by their fierce offensive some time ago, and they were confused for a while, and when they came to their senses, it was time for the war to resume.

On February 7, 1938, Ma Zheng presided over the year-end summary meeting of the Chanan Guerrilla Detachment, which not only summarized the major battles some time ago, but also made the decision to divide troops to Sumushan and Daqingshan.

The reason why Ma Zheng made such a decision was after comprehensive consideration, although Hades Mountain was as strong as a turtle shell, but Hades Mountain was only a small independent mountain, and there was no strategic depth at all. Once the Japanese army has an iron heart to encircle the mountain, the consequences are hard to imagine.

Moreover, they were the only anti-Japanese troops in the Chanan area, and it could be said that they were the only army, and once the Chanan guerrilla detachment was besieged by the Japanese army, it would be impossible for them to have reinforcements. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to concentrate all the forces in one place, which is completely equivalent to putting all the eggs in one basket.

The southern part of the city is mountainous, and there are no less than hundreds of large and small peaks in the territory, so it makes sense for Ma Zheng to choose Sumu Mountain and Daqing Mountain.

Sumu Mountain is located in the depths of Danan Mountain in Xinghe County, adjacent to Fengzhen. Daqingshan is located at the junction of Xinghe and Shangyi, as long as these two mountains are controlled, it is equivalent to pressing two nails in southern Chanan, northern Jin, and northern Hebei.

As soon as the meeting ended, Huang Sicheng and Wang Hansen each left Yama Mountain with a brigade and rushed to the new station. And Huang Sicheng left with more than 200 wounded Japanese prisoners, Ma Zheng wanted to use some Japanese prisoners to sing a good play with the little devils in the Mongolian army.

Chahar provincial capital. Zhangjiakou.

Although the Chinese New Year is coming soon, there are still not many people on the streets of Zhangjiakou. Today is different from the past, since the little devils occupied Zhangjiakou, the movement of the common people in the city has been strictly restricted, and there are strict regulations on what time to produce and live every day.

If you don't rush home within the allotted time, you will be beaten by the patrolling gendarmes or killed, so people rarely go out if they don't have anything to do.

The headquarters of the Mongolian army is located in a four-story western-style building in the north of the city, which was originally the seat of the Chahar provincial government, and was designated as the garrison headquarters after the Japanese army occupied Zhangjiakou.

Lieutenant General Hasunuma Pan sat in his chair with a dull expression, and on the desk in front of him was a telegram from China, which was the decision of the base camp to deal with the heavy damage caused by the 1st Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade some time ago. The commander of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade Sakai Hoji was removed from his post and immediately transferred to the reserve after returning to Japan, and he was severely reprimanded by the base camp, and was even called the incompetent Hasunuma by several bigwigs in the military department.

The rebuke of the base camp made Hasunuma Pan very angry, he was born as a cavalryman, and he was also one of the few cavalry generals in the country, and after graduating from Lu University, he went to Germany to study cavalry at his own expense. Therefore, in Japan, Hasunuma Pan has always been a fierce general in the army.

In addition, Hasunuma Pan was with him when Hirohito was still the crown prince of the East Palace, and he was very close to the emperor. Therefore, as the emperor's closest minister, he cannot accept such an evaluation, otherwise it will be a smear on the face of His Majesty the Emperor.

Hasunuma Pan knew that he couldn't let that hateful Shina-to-Balu run rampant, and it was time to solve this scabies disease.
