New Year's Day in 1938 was spent on the road, the cold wind was bitter, the snow was blowing, and the ground was frozen hard and slippery. The soldiers warmed their hands as they walked, and clouds of white mist appeared from their mouths from time to time. Originally, this kind of weather should have made the soldiers stop and rest, but the military order was like a mountain, and Zheng Weiguo had to take his subordinates to trek hard.

According to the instructions of the former enemy headquarters in the Second World War Zone, the 33rd Division had to go to Anze County to receive the point formation, and then turn back to the Shangdang area to assist the 47th Army in resisting the Japanese army advancing westward. To be honest, Zheng Weiguo was very dissatisfied with this order. The war zone can send supplies to Changzhi and send personnel to organize there, so why let the troops go back and forth in the cold weather? However, his small division commander naturally can't disobey the orders of the war zone, so he should just think of it as an ultra-long-distance training!

On January 10, the troops finally arrived in Anze County. Xiong Taiyu, chief of staff, held the map in one hand and pointed to the Qin River that had been frozen in the other, and said: "Division, Counselor, we are almost there, and after crossing this river, it is Anze County!" ”

Since the troops were transferred from Ping'an County, the marching camp, setting up sentry posts, setting up checkpoints, and other big and small matters have been handled by this Director Xiong, which is simple but not ugly, and very orderly. Not only Zheng Weiguo was very satisfied, but even the few officers who liked to stab were gradually convinced. The commanders and fighters all said that foreign monks can chant scriptures, and those who have drunk foreign ink are different.

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "Have they been in touch with Director Lu?" ”

Director Xiong said, "I'm connected! Director Lu said that the meal was ready, just waiting for us to pick up the wind and wash the dust. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled: "This Lu Zhan is a person who will come to trouble." Master, what else do you command? ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing, please prepare more hot water for Director Lu, it's good to warm the brothers on this cold day." ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "It's still the master to be careful, Director Xiong, you go and make arrangements, so that the brothers can settle down as soon as possible after entering the city." ”

Director Xiong saluted and said, "Yes!" Then he hurried to the communications battalion to deliver the order.

Chief of Staff Zhou said to Zheng Weiguo: "Master, let's also set off early, so as not to let the brothers freeze in the wilderness." ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Okay, I just want to see this famous city through the ages!" I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "The thousand-year-old city is true. It is said that as early as more than 5,000 years ago, there were ancestors who settled here, and it was the Jizhou seat of Dayu divided into Kyushu. It's just that it's too old to verify. ”

As he spoke, the various departments took the special service battalion as the lead and quickly crossed the Qin River. The county seat of Anze is on the bank of the Qinhe River, the city is very small, but it is peaceful and peaceful, the scenery is pleasant, and it is indeed a treasure land of feng shui. Historically, the Taiyue Administration of the Eighth Route Army, the Headquarters of the Taiyue Military Region, the Political Department of the Taiyue Military Region, the Taiyue Arsenal, and the Taiyue Xinhua Daily Printing House were all stationed here, which is a rare foundation place.

In particular, on April 26, 1942, Political Commissar Deng of the 129th Division personally convened a "Shichao Conference" in Shichao in Anze, and gave important instructions on "opening up, consolidating, and building the Yuenan base area, rapidly establishing an anti-Japanese democratic regime, transforming the grassroots political power, organizing the people's armed self-defense forces and militia, and developing local guerrilla units," and decided on the major policy of changing the situation in Yuenan.

Zheng Weiguo also looked a little hot, and even thought that if he had crossed over to Anze County, it would be enough to establish the Taiyue base in advance. Ping'an County must be a little narrower, and it is sandwiched between the Pinghan Line and Taihang Mountain, making it difficult to develop outward. However, he also thought about it like this, and after receiving the weapon, it was estimated that he would have to go back to Licheng and Wu'an to carry out activities. Of course, the Japanese army was also eager to try on the front line of Jiexiu, and Commander-in-Chief Wei might also transfer the 33rd Division to assist in the defense. Thinking of the brutal Han Xinling blockade, Zheng Weiguo's scalp was a little numb.

At the east gate of Anze, on the bank of the Qin River, Director Lu and his entourage have been waiting for a long time in the heavy snow. Although he was parachuted down from above, and he had the power to supervise, he was very disciplined and did not put up a frame for the supervision army.

Zheng Weiguo saw someone greeting him from a distance, and he hurriedly jumped off the horse and walked over with everyone to show respect. When he arrived near the city gate, Chief of Staff Zhou introduced in a low voice: "Division, the lieutenant colonel standing at the front is Director Lu of the Political Training Department. Standing next to him was ......"

As he was talking, Director Lu led everyone to greet him and gave Zheng Weiguo a standard military salute, and said loudly: "Humble Lu Zhan, I have come to welcome the division into the city." ”

Zheng Weiguo also hurriedly returned a military salute and said, "Director Lu has worked hard. Don't freeze the brothers in this cold day, but go into the city to speak. ”

Lu Zhan hurriedly welcomed Zheng Weiguo and his party into the city. Everyone got to know each other as they walked, and by the time they arrived at the temporary headquarters set up for Zheng Weiguo, everyone already knew each other. Except for Director Lu, all of these people are civilian officers, grass-roots officers, and technical personnel, and the personnel sent by the Ministry of Military Affairs have not yet arrived.

Taking advantage of the greetings, Zheng Weiguo asked, "Director Lu, have the supplies allocated by Shangfeng to this division already here?" ”

Director Lu hurriedly said: "It's already here, and it's all stacked in the warehouse in the south of the city." ”

Zheng Weiguo was very happy and said, "That's very good, Chief of Staff, let's go see how it goes!" ”

Director Lu didn't think Zheng Weiguo was so anxious, he was stunned, and said, "But the meals are ready, it's better to go after eating!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou also persuaded: "Master, let's eat first, Director Lu, they may still have an empty stomach!" ”

Zheng Weiguo thought that it would not be good for everyone to accompany him hungry, so he had to say: "Okay, then there will be Director Lao Lu!" ”

Lu Zhan hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and then invited everyone into the headquarters. In the headquarters, Zhang Changgui was commanding two platoons of the special service battalion to deploy defense. In fact, all the way through, the special battalion was on alert duty. Before Zheng Weiguo and his entourage entered the city, they had already entered the city in advance and took over the defense of Anze City. At first, the brothers in the national army in the city were a little dissatisfied with these strange flower uniforms, thinking that the division headquarters did not trust them. However, as soon as they saw the beautiful tactical moves of the special service battalion, everyone was convinced. This is the case in the army, if you have the ability, others will obey you, and if you don't have the ability, you don't want someone to hold your stinky feet.

An officer complimented: "This unit commanded by Regiment Commander Zhang is really a division of tigers and wolves!" According to the humble opinion, there is no one in the entire World War II zone. ”

This is not a complete exaggeration. The special service battalion is the most elite unit of the 33rd Division, and most of the soldiers are veterans, and after Zheng Weiguo's training in the past few months, their military quality and tactical ability have been greatly improved. Although it is still far from the special forces, it is already different from the Chinese army at that time.

In addition to soft power, the hardware is also extraordinary. Although there are only more than 100 of them in total, they are all equipped with two guns, one long and one short. Each squad had two Czech light machine guns and two Type 89 heavy throwing canisters, and it was estimated that the special service battalion directly under the group army did not have such good equipment.

Originally, many people thought that the 33rd Division was not even as good as the Sichuan Army, after all, it was a security regiment, and its foundation was similar to that of a guerrilla. can see the military appearance and military prestige of the special service battalion, and everyone knows that the name of Lu Dao was not obtained out of thin air. How could Chief Wei be so valued without two brushes?

As soon as someone took the lead, the other officers were also busy greeting each other, and for a while the praise was endless. At first, it was a bit of a score, but the more I talked about it later, the more boundless it became. Zheng Weiguo was a little displeased when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, we are all revolutionary soldiers, don't say such excessive words. Here I set a rule, you must not praise your boss in person in the future, otherwise you will be sent to the Judge Advocate General! ”

Everyone was silent for a moment, and the scene was not embarrassing. Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly played a round and said, "Everyone, don't be stunned here, go eat first!" Master, please! ”

Director Lu and Director Xiong were also busy and invited everyone to the dining room. The banquet has been set up, and the meals are very rich.

Zheng Weiguo saw that there was still a lot of fine wine prepared at the banquet, and hurriedly said: "There is no need for wine, take it down!" Everyone hurried up to eat, and then went to the Chengnan warehouse. Everyone was stunned, but they didn't dare to disobey, so they had to eat with their heads suffocated. This kind of style makes everyone very uncomfortable, and they feel that this division commander is really difficult to serve, and they secretly complain in their hearts. Some of the more energetic officers are already thinking about transferring out the 33rd Division.

After filling his stomach, Zheng Weiguo hurried to the warehouse in the south of the city with everyone. Compared with the regular army name of the 33rd Division, he attaches more importance to these tangible things.

Zheng Weiguo asked, "Director Lu, are the supplies rationed according to my original requirements?" ”

Director Lu said cautiously: "Basically, but the number is insufficient. In addition, some materials could not be found, so some substitutes had to be used. ”

Zheng Weiguo looked at the arms warehouse and nodded approvingly. The location is secluded, and some anti-aircraft, fire and moisture-proof measures have been made, and there is a squad of soldiers guarding it. It shows that the person who runs it is doing things with heart, but he doesn't know what the materials are inside.
