After sending it to Shuyu, Liu Tianshu took a list sent by Zhu Aiguo and looked at it carefully. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This attack on Pingyuan Town, Zhang Xinlong led a platoon of the Imperial Association Army to revolt on the battlefield, killed the Japanese squad leader, and made a great contribution to the independent regiment's successful capture of the Dongshan position.

At the same time, under the persuasion of Zhang Xinlong and others, more than 100 Imperial Cooperative troops laid down their arms and surrendered to the Independent Regiment, as for the Imperial Association Army, which ******** became traitors, they were either wiped out or captured alive in the end.

By the end of the battle, there were almost 300 people in the hands of the Independent Regiment who had surrendered and captured the Imperial Cooperative Army, plus the young people in Pingyuan Town who took the initiative to join the Independent Regiment, and the new battalion of the Independent Regiment suddenly numbered more than 500 people.

However, after the review of the Political Department, coupled with the reluctance of some of the Imperial Cooperative Army to join the Independent Regiment, after the Political Department wrote a guarantee that they would no longer work for the devil and put their fingerprints on it, more than 80 people were put back, and finally there were 400 people left in the new barracks.

The second and third battalions suffered more than 150 casualties in the battle, and after the two battalions were given priority to replenish the shortages, more than 250 people in the recruit battalion were still undergoing intense training.

Looking at these lists of recruits, Liu Tianshu felt that it was necessary to form another fourth battalion.

In this way, if the higher authorities order the independent regiment to leave the base area, it can also leave a stronger combat force for the base area.

"Commander Liu, do you mean to mix the second battalion with the recruit battalion, and then organize it into the second battalion and the fourth battalion?" Listening to Liu Tianshu's thoughts, Liao Zhifeng, Zhu Aiguo and Yang Donghu all looked at him.

"Yes, I thought about it for a while, once we receive an order from our superiors to carry out an external operation, there is no main force in the base area, I am afraid that when the devils sweep away, we will suffer heavy losses, the new battalion currently has more than 250 people, and the second battalion is an old army, although the combat effectiveness may temporarily decline after the mixing, but it should have little impact. Everyone discussed it and saw how the teams of the two battalions would match. Liu Tianshu nodded and said.

The second battalion commander Hao Mengxuan is a fierce general who followed Liu Tianshu from Taihang Mountain, and the instructor Hua Xiaohu is also a general, that is, the deputy battalion commander Zhan Shulong, who is also a veteran cadre with rich combat experience.

In this attack on Pingyuan Town, the second battalion not only succeeded in destroying the enemy in Pingyuan Town, but its own losses were still very small.

Liao Zhifeng thought for a while and said: "I think Commander Liu's idea is feasible, the soldiers of the independent regiment have deep feelings for the Fuyashan base area, once the independent regiment leaves the base area to fight and does not leave the main force, I am afraid that the county brigade alone will not be able to insist on fighting on the inner line." In my opinion, Comrade Hua Xiaohu should be the commander of the newly formed Fourth Battalion, and Comrade Yu Yongzhong, the former commander of the Second Company of the First Battalion, should serve as the instructor. As for the instructors of the second battalion, Zhan Shulong, the deputy battalion commander, served as the instructor. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Aiguo and Yang Donghu thought about it carefully and agreed with Liao Zhifeng's suggestion.

Subsequently, after some discussion, the battalion and company cadres of the second and fourth battalions were adjusted.

Hao Mengxuan, the commander of the second battalion, Zhan Shulong, the instructor, Kuang Guosheng, the commander of the fourth company, Zhang Xinlong, the commander of the fifth company, and Xu Zhongnan, the commander of the sixth company.

The fourth battalion commander Hua Xiaohu, the instructor Yu Yongzhong, the tenth company commander Chu Siyang, the eleventh company commander Sheng Dongsheng, and the twelfth company commander Luo Minggang

Among the three company commanders of the newly promoted company, Zhang Xinlong led his troops to revolt in front of the battle because of the independent regiment attacking Pingyuan Town, killing the leader of the devil squad, this time Liu Tianshu was promoted to company commander, Sheng Dongsheng and Luo Minggang were the platoon commanders of the Eighth Route Army who were rescued, and had many years of combat experience.

Subsequently, the fighters of the two battalions were gathered, and Liu Tianshu represented the headquarters and announced the order for the reorganization of the troops, and in accordance with the reorganization order, the new battalion and the second battalion were reorganized.

Zhang Xinlong didn't expect that he was promoted to a company commander, his face was full of excitement, and his brothers were also full of red faces.

However, his fifth company was incorporated into half of the veterans of the independent regiment, and the instructor was also an old Eighth Road.

After the reorganization of the troops was completed, Liu Tianshu stared at the two battalions for the past two days to grasp military training, and the officers and men of the two battalions were so tired that they gasped for breath.

Fortunately, the independent regiment captured a lot during this time, and in addition to eating and eating, it also arranged a meal of meat for two days, so that those soldiers who were originally the Imperial Association Army felt that it was better than being on the devil's side.

On this day, as soon as Liu Tianshu returned from the garrison of the Fourth Battalion, he received an order from the detachment to lead the independent regiment to destroy the railway between Fuchang County and Jinyang County, and to respond to the counter-sweep of the Rongshan base area.

It turned out that just one day ago, the devil suddenly gathered a brigade and more than 1,000 imperial troops to sweep the Rongshan base area 150 kilometers east of Fuya Mountain. After the bloody battle between the main force of the Rongshan Base Area and the devils, the Rongshan Independent Regiment had to retreat to the depths of the base area, and the devils chased after them, and the Rongshan Base Area had to appeal to the top.

The main force of the Eighth Route Army closest to Rongshan was only the Fuyashan Independent Regiment. After careful consideration, Hong Feihu decided to let Liu Tianshu lead his troops eastward, firstly, to relieve the siege of Rongshan, and secondly, to direct the attention of the devils to the east, so as to create more favorable conditions for the main force to go to Shandong.

After receiving the order, Liu Tianshu ordered the 123rd Battalion of the Independent Regiment to assemble urgently while letting people inform Xiang Shuyu.

Xiang Shuyu came to the regiment headquarters and heard that the independent regiment would carry out the task of reinforcing the Rongshan base area, and immediately said with a firm gaze: "Commander Liu, don't worry, we will definitely hold the base area and never let the devil step into the base area for half a step." ”

"Comrade Shuyu, you are wrong, the base area is dead, the people are alive, it is nothing for the devil to step into the base area, as long as the people have no losses, it is the greatest victory. In this way, you immediately mobilize the masses and prepare to clear the wilderness, and at the same time let the village militia of all villages, once the devils attack, lay mines on the road they must pass, and try to slow down the actions of the devils. Liu Tianshu looked at Xiang Shuyu and said solemnly.

After exchanging a few words with Liao Zhifeng, Xiang Shuyu and Zeng Wei, the third battalion commander Ma Chaoyuan, and the fourth battalion commander Hua Xiaohu, Liu Tianshu said goodbye to the others, and then led his troops to rush in the direction of Songkan Town.

Jin Zhenbiao received an order from the regiment headquarters and immediately assembled his troops, bypassed the Maotang stronghold, and advanced quickly to the east.

As for the defense of Songkan Town, it will be taken over by the 3rd Battalion, which is rushing from Pingyuan Town.

As a pioneer, Liu Tianshu gave the first battalion the task of rushing to the railroad as quickly as possible, cutting off the devil's railway line in one fell swoop, and creating the illusion that the independent regiment would attack the strongholds along the Japanese railway.

At the same time, Shi Qiang's No. 1 Squadron of the Reconnaissance Brigade, under the personal command of Chen Jian, went straight to Chengouji through Pingyuan Town, and after using mortars and machine guns to carry out a surprise attack on the Saito Brigade stationed in Chengouji, it quickly withdrew from the battle and rushed south in the dark night.

Saito received a report from his men that the positions of the 1st Squadron north of Chengouji had been attacked by the Independent Regiment and that six soldiers had been killed in the sudden shelling.

Before the 1st Squadron could react, the attack of the Independent Regiment ended miraculously in three minutes. When the first squadron sent people to search, they only saw a few mortar shell shells.

Just when Saito was puzzled, the 3rd Squadron, stationed south of Chen Gouji, was attacked by the Chinese from a distance, this time, not only mortars, but also light machine guns, eight soldiers guarding the position were killed, and three soldiers were wounded.

Similarly, the Chinese immediately withdrew after only two minutes of fighting.

Because it was night, the 3rd Squadron did not dare to risk pursuit.

Saito looked at the location of the two squadron positions on the map, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what these Chinese wanted to do.

At dawn, Saito received a report from the wing headquarters that he learned that the independent regiment suddenly appeared in the Liujiahe area in the east last night, and the Liujiahe stronghold on the railroad side was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the Liujiahe stronghold was set on fire by the Chinese ******, and the entire stronghold was burned down, and more than 30 soldiers of the railway garrison guarding the Liujiahe stronghold were killed, and the 100-meter railroad track was taken away by the Chinese.

When Sasaki received the report below, he immediately walked to the map and pondered the true purpose of the Independent Regiment.

Fortunately, the task of guarding the railway, now not with his wing, was transferred to the railway garrison.

It's a pity that the people of the railway garrison didn't know how powerful the independent regiment was, and in the blink of an eye, a stronghold was burned to the ground.

Even now, Sasaki didn't understand what was added to the ****** used by the independent regiment, anyway, as long as the ****** was ignited, it couldn't be extinguished except for the gasoline burned out and extinguished itself.

Fortunately, most of the attacks of the independent regiment were only at night, and by dawn, the Chinese who attacked Saito stopped their activities, and at the same time, the Chinese who sabotaged the railway also disappeared without a trace.

When the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment launched an attack on the Liujiahe stronghold, Liu Tianshu led the 2nd Battalion to rush through the base area to the east of Songkan Town.

In the mountainous area east of Songkan Town, thirty kilometers away, in some larger towns, there were a small number of Japanese puppet troops stationed, but this time Liu Tianshu didn't care about these small fish and shrimp, but just let the reconnaissance brigade be responsible for monitoring, and the second battalion advanced eastward with all its might.

According to the information from the detachment, after two fierce battles between the Rongshan Independent Regiment and the devil puppet army that swept Rongshan, the troops suffered serious losses, but fortunately, the task of covering the villagers and local cadres to withdraw into the mountains was completed.

It's just that the little devil is chasing after him, and at the same time, the devil and the puppet army are divided into several roads and chase and kill the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the mountains.

By the time it got dark, the 2nd Battalion had reached the mountain forest north of Bashoba, less than 100 miles away from the Rongshan base area.

Seeing that the troops were too tired, Liu Tianshu had to order to rest in place for an hour, and at the same time let the soldiers eat some dry food and drink some water.

After Jin Zhenbiao's battalion captured Liujiahe, it immediately turned around and marched eastward, brushed shoulders with the devils who rushed over from Jinyang County to reinforce them, entered the territory of Jinyang County from the south of Bajiaoba, and then bypassed the stronghold of the devils, and suddenly went deep alone and quietly came to the outside of Jinyang County.
