With Zheng Weiguo's order, the communications battalion quickly arrived and prepared to send a message. The battalion commander said excitedly: "Division, are you going to send a good report?" Was it sent to the Second War Zone or directly to Commander-in-Chief Wei? ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said: "The good news will be sent later, you will first send a telegram to the Japanese puppet army around Taiyuan." ”

The battalion commander suddenly came to his senses and said, "Understood, urge them to surrender!" ”

Zheng Weiguo scolded with a smile: "You understand a fart, don't be smart!" As he spoke, he handed over the captured code book, and then said: "As the Japanese garrison headquarters in Taiyuan, you sent an urgent telegram to the Japanese puppet troops stationed nearby, ordering them to abandon their strongholds and fortifications and rush to the aid of Taiyuan. ”

The battalion commander was taken aback and said, "Ah! ”

Zheng Weiguo urged: "Ah what, hurry up, delay the military plane, be careful that Lao Tzu beats your military stick!" ”

The battalion commander scratched his head and looked at Chief of Staff Zhou with a look of embarrassment. Director Xiong on the side smiled: "I'll draft the message, and you can send it." ”

Director Xiong was worthy of being a top student who graduated from the Saint-Cyr Military Academy, and he quickly drafted a telegram in the tone of a Japanese commander. Zheng Weiguo was very satisfied with it after reading it, so he asked the telecommunications personnel to send a report immediately.

With the sound of tick-tick news, radio waves flew towards the Jin Temple, Yangqu, Jinyuan, Qingxu, Yuci, Shouyang, Gujiao and other Japanese puppet army garrisons around Taiyuan.

Duan Shuanghu was suspicious of this "high-tech" method, saying: "Can this method be done? If you are detected by the devil, it will be troublesome. ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "We will do what we need to do well, and God will arrange the rest, I hope God bless China." ”

Everyone was very excited when they heard this, and said in unison: "God bless China!" ”

While cheering, a company commander came to report and said: "Division, our unit has taken the military station of the 109th Division and found a large number of supplies. ”

Zheng Weiguo did not have a happy look on his face. He said solemnly: "I remember that your company was specially strengthened, and there was also a sniper squad temporarily. Among the various units that have cleared the city of remnants of the enemy, you have the largest number of troops and the strongest firepower! But how do you behave? Why did you complete the task after the most difficult of the siege departments? ”

The company commander said aggrievedly: "We can't be blamed for this, it's the underground party's intelligence that is not accurate!" ”

According to the company commander, there was far more to the station than just "a businessman-like manager of the station," the fortifications inside were very tight, and the soldiers stationed there were also very resolute in their will to fight. At the last moment, some outlaws even tried to blow up the munitions, if it weren't for the excellent performance of the snipers, I was afraid that half of Taiyuan City would be blown up to the sky.

Zheng Weiguo rebuked: "What nonsense! Why is it allowed anywhere else, but not you? In his opinion, it doesn't matter if a soldier makes mistakes, but he must face up to his own mistakes and not blame others.

Just as he was scolding, Director Lu Zhan of the Ordnance Department arrived. He stopped the furious Zheng Weiguo and said, "Shizuo, this military station is indeed strange, you have to go over and deal with it immediately." ”

Zheng Weiguo said strangely: "What can be strange about the military station? ”

Director Lu looked very anxious and said, "The matter is urgent, let's talk about it as we go." ”

The group quickly rushed to the military station in the east of the city, and there was nothing unusual from the outside, but after entering, everyone was shocked. The compounds were all converted into warehouses by the Japanese army, one after the other, which was both hidden and strong. When I opened the warehouse, I saw that it was almost all full, and it was not enough to describe the amount of materials here.

Director Lu introduced everyone as he walked, saying: "You see, there are not only military uniforms, food, and clothing, but also weapons, ammunition, and oil, and even a gun repair shop and an automobile repair shop under construction. In short, none of the things that can be used in the war are pulled down here, and the amount is very amazing! ”

The more everyone looked at it, the happier they became, but Zheng Weiguo couldn't help but be a little afraid, if all the Japanese troops in the city were concentrated here to defend it, he might not be able to take it with the little soldiers in his hands, and the Japanese army was likely to destroy the arms in advance. Hundreds of tons of supplies exploded at once, and I was afraid that even the mushroom cloud would blow up.

Chief of Staff Zhou was a little puzzled and said, "How can a division-level military station have so many supplies? ”

Director Lu said: "I personally think that this is not the military station of the 109th Division at all, at least not all owned by this division. According to the Central Military Commission's report on the enemy's situation, the Japanese army divided the logistical support of its military stations into three levels: strategic, campaignal, and tactical, and established a deployment of military stations in the occupied areas in which the main area of the military station, the main area of the military station, and the rear station were connected in echelons. Among them, the main place of the military station is equivalent to the base military station, and it is a military station with a certain degree of stability set up by the front army in the deep transportation area of the rear of the campaign. This kind of military station is not only a base for the supply of the front army, but also a transit station for the front-line military stations. ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "In this way, this should be the main place of the military station?" ”

Director Lu said: "So far, that's the case. Since Shanxi did not have a command organ at the level of the Japanese army, it was likely that this military station was directly subordinate to the North China Front. If that's the case, it's not surprising that there are so many supplies. ”

In fact, the judgment of the main location of the military station was correct, but the Taiyuan military station was not directly under the North China Front, but was prepared for the First Army that was about to move to Taiyuan. The amount of this batch of supplies was so staggering that it took a long time for the Japanese Northern Branch to send troops to get them together (compared to Europe and the United States, Japan lacked supplies and had poor transportation capacity), and even Taiyuan had not been taken at the time of the earliest preparations. In fact, the materials captured by the Pingxingguan victory were used by the Japanese army to build a military station. After the transfer of the 5th Division, the supplies were handed over to the 1st Army.

Getting such materials all of a sudden, Zheng Weiguo was really surprised and delighted, not to mention joy, the surprise was that the Japanese army would definitely retaliate frantically. It is not easy to swallow such a large piece of fat, at least the 33rd Division does not have such a big appetite.

Duan Shuanghu finally closed the big mouth that he could stuff into the duck egg, but his saliva couldn't help but flow out. He wiped his mouth vigorously and said happily: "Master, there are so many materials that are enough for us to use for a few years!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou, who came with him, was not so optimistic. He frowned and said, "We have to transfer this batch of materials immediately, because if it's too late, I'm afraid that the Japanese army will send planes to bomb it!" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Without further ado, we will start this work now." Where is the baggage camp now? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said anxiously: "The baggage battalion is also busy now!" I can't get out of it at all, I'm afraid I can only re-form a baggage force. ”

Although Taiyuan is far from returning to the pre-war level, it is the capital of a province after all, and the essence of the Three Jin Dynasty lies here. After the Japanese army invaded Shanxi, they looted a lot of materials and wealth in this area, and most of these things were still in the hands of Zhengjin Bank and various secret agencies.

In addition, the newly established Taiyuan Repair Institute of the Japanese army also has a lot of good things. Although the machine is average, it has a lot of spare parts for weapons, which is of great significance for the 33rd Division, which relies on a large number of captured weapons. As long as these things are brought back to Ping'an County, the cannons captured in Dongyang Pass last time can basically be repaired as before.

Given that there were so many supplies to be delivered, it was clear that the former baggage battalions were not enough. At the suggestion of Chief of Staff Zhou, a new baggage force was formed on the spot. They were formed from a company of the former 33rd Division, and most of the new members were newly liberated prisoners of war, and there were also a small number of guerrillas. The first thing this team of more than 2,000 people did after it was established was to move materials, and the first thing to move was explosives, oil, and other materials, so as not to be bombed by the Japanese army and cause secondary damage.

There are already a lot of troops of more than 2,000 people, but there are so many supplies in the military station that they can't be moved at all. I was worried about this matter, and the good news finally came, and there were two of them.

After receiving the order, the various units quickly abandoned their original positions and rushed to Taiyuan desperately, only to be wiped out by our army's reinforcements.

First of all, the Japanese puppet army stationed in the Jin Temple was ambushed by the reinforcements of the 33rd Division on the way to Taiyuan, and the Japanese puppet army in Jinyuan, Yuci and other places also crashed into the pocket array laid by our army like moths to the fire. Although only seven or eight hundred people were annihilated in total, including a large number of puppet troops, after the end of this battle, the area around Taiyuan had already become a Japanese puppet army.

In addition, the reinforcements sent by the Eighth Route Army finally arrived. It was not the guerrillas who came back, but the main force of the Eighth Route Army. A total of three teams of people came, and the first to arrive was a brigade from the Jinchaji Fourth Division, whose captain was surnamed Ruan. Immediately afterwards, the 761st Regiment, the main force of the Northwest Military Region of Shanxi, also arrived, led by their old regiment commander, He Bingy, the commander of the three detachments.

As soon as the two groups arrived, they asked for assignments. In Commander He's words, last year was not a good year when I was tossed by the devil, this time I can be regarded as seizing the opportunity, and I must pay tribute to the devil well. Zheng Weiguo was about to speak, when the messenger ran to report that reinforcements from the 129th Division had also arrived. They were busy again to meet them.

I saw an old acquaintance from afar-Brigade Commander Chen of the 386th Brigade. There were a lot of people behind him, but he was afraid that he would bring the entire 386th Brigade over.

Zheng Weiguo was surprised and said, "Brigadier Chen! How is your old man leading the team? ”

Chen Geng smiled proudly and said, "Ha Luha, I didn't expect it!" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Didn't you say that there was only one detachment? ”

Chen Geng didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "At first, I was going to send only one detachment, but I heard that you were tossing around here, and you were busy with the main reinforcements." What do you think? Brother, I'm funny! ”

Zheng Weiguo said vigilantly: "What, I want to beat my brother's local tyrant again!" ”

Brigade Commander Chen waved his hand and said, "Go!" I think your brother and I are someone, this time we will seize it by ourselves, and it is not rare to see your things. Assign the task! ”

Commander He and Captain Ruan were also busy: "That's right! Master Zheng, the superiors ordered us to fully cooperate, just say where there is a shortage of people! ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "We don't need you for the time being, but we are short of manpower here, so you can help move the supplies!" ”

Brigadier Chen shook his head and said, "That's not good, we are the main force, what is our turn to move supplies?" ”

Commander He and Captain Ruan were also a little unhappy, feeling disregarded.

Zheng Weiguo didn't explain, and took them straight to the big soldier station, pointed to the mountains and seas of supplies, and said: "Whoever moves away is whoever, can you move?" ”

Grand Master He hurriedly said: "Move, move, move!" Leave it all to us here, Brigade Commander Chen, you can lead the main force to block the reinforcements. "Northwest Jin has always been the hardest of all the units of the Eighth Route Army. Although Commander He is an iron-like man, so many materials piled up together are simply magnets, which makes it impossible to refuse.

Brigade Commander Chen scolded with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, you still want to swallow so many materials alone, and you are not afraid of dying." He said to Zheng Weiguo again: "You are looking at our jokes, right?" ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled and said, "You still have to think about how to thank me!" ”

With the participation of these three groups, the materials were quickly transferred. Of course, it will take a long time to get it back. To this end, the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee of the Red Party has been fully dispatched to rush to transport materials.

Zheng Weiguo took the opportunity to withdraw and launched a military operation against Taigu and other cities around Taiyuan. It's not that he is greedy, it's just that these cities are very close to Taiyuan, and cities such as Taigu are still the location of the Japanese army's military station, and if they don't take it, the Japanese army can use this to launch a counterattack on Taiyuan.
