Chapter 127: The Sweep Begins

Gaoyi, also known as Fengcheng, is also an ancient city with a very long history, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it already exists, while the underground mineral resources are extremely rich, currently belonging to Baoding, located in the western edge of the North China Plain, at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, only 70 kilometers away from Baoding.

Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, it has been occupied by the Japanese army and has become an enemy-occupied area.

There is a village in the western suburbs of Gaoyi, called Wangjia Village, and there is a school in the village, called Wangjia Village Middle School, which is very famous, with more than 300 teachers and students.

At this moment, Zhou Weiguo was leading a battalion of more than 500 soldiers to come here to persuade the principal to let him lead the teachers and students away, but they were all rejected by the principal Li Hanlin.

Li Hanlin looked at Zhou Weiguo and the others, and sneered: "Sir, don't worry too much, this is the school, no matter how rampant the Japanese army is, it will definitely not attack the school, you should go back and forth from where you go." ”

"Don't interfere with the students' lessons!"

At the moment, Zhou Weiguo was in a hurry and repeatedly persuaded him, but he was still rejected by the principal Li Hanlin and several teachers, who said:

"This is the school, since the Japanese army dares to shout about the so-called Greater East Asia Co-prosperity, they will never attack the students."

"Director Yu is reasonable!"

"A few years ago, the commander of the Japanese army in North China, Terauchi Shouichi, also came to our school and asked us to serve them, but the principal rejected them verbally, and I didn't see them go crazy, and he still respects Principal Li!"

"Please keep the students out of the fighting!"

In the Japanese sweep in early 1938, more than 300 teachers and students in the school were brutally killed by the Japanese army, and none of them were spared.

Before leaving, Ouyang repeatedly explained to Zhou Weiguo, "At all costs, all teachers and students in the school must be moved to safety." ”

Zhou Weiguo turned around and walked to the battalion instructor, and immediately asked, "How is the transfer of the people progressing so far?" ”

The camp instructor immediately said: "At present, the people in the countryside in the two counties of Zanhuang and Yuanshi have completed the transfer work, and a total of more than 30,000 people have been transferred. ”

Subsequently, the camp instructor also went to do some work with Principal Li, but in the end, it was the same as what Zhou Weiguo said.

They don't want to leave school!

Zhou Weiguo was helpless, gritted his teeth, immediately turned pale, and made a decision: "We can't wait any longer, the commander has already sent us the news that the 14th Division of the Japanese Army has begun to sweep, and nearly 1,000 people in Dongti Village and Xiti Village in Daying Town have been slaughtered by the Japanese army, and only a dozen people have escaped." ”

After a pause, he gave an urgent order: "Company commander, immediately arrange for the transfer of teachers and students from the school!" ”

"If you don't cooperate, you'll tie me up!"

"Yes, Battalion Commander!" The commander of a company replied loudly.

At the command of the order, the soldiers of the first battalion moved quickly, and in a short time a skirmish broke out in the school.

"You ruffians! I'm going to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to accuse you! ”

"Let go of me, what kind of ability is it to tie us up, you have the ability to do it with a real knife and a real gun with a little devil!"

"Let go of me, I don't want to leave!"

"Sir, the Japanese army will definitely not attack us, we are students!"

Nearly half of the teachers and students quarreled and expressed fierce protest against the violence in the first battalion.

The battalion instructor hurriedly ran over, his face was distressed, and he strongly refuted Zhou Weiguo's actions: "Battalion commander, we can't do this, this violates the discipline of our Eighth Route Army, once the matter hits it, you will be shot!" ”

Indeed, what the battalion instructor said was very reasonable, tying up hundreds of teachers and students, which was an extremely serious mistake in the troops, and the shots were light.

Zhou Weiguo yelled at the instructor: "Even if my superiors shoot me, I can't turn a blind eye to them, do we really have to wait until the students are killed by the Japanese army, and then we will avenge them?" ”

"Instructor, more than 300 lives!"

In the face of such an angry Zhou Weiguo, at this moment, whether it was the instructor or the other soldiers, they were all infected by Zhou Weiguo's words.

Yes, more than 300 lives!

We must not pin our hopes on the so-called "mercy" of the Japanese army!

The same situation is constantly playing out in other parts of North China.

Jiang Daya's 2nd Battalion, Li Yunlong's 3rd Battalion, or other units of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, were rapidly moving the masses and their property.

During this period, Jiang Daya's second battalion was also opposed by a local landlord.

The landlord said: "Although I don't have a good impression of the little devils, didn't your Eighth Route Army also kill many of our landlords?" ”

"If you want to go into the mountains, you will go in! The old man is 70 years old, and even if he dies, I will not leave this place where I was born and raised! ”

Hearing this, Jiang Daya said to the guards: "Come two people, work hard, and carry the old man away for me!" ”

After finishing the matter, Jiang Daya faced the angry old man, and said with a smile: "Old man, I promise you that your money, our Eighth Route Army will not 'communist' your stitches, and please believe me!" ”

And so on.

Liu Bocheng, commander of the 129th Division, urgently ordered all departments: "The safety of people's lives and property comes first, and if there is any non-cooperation, all departments will deal with it as appropriate!" ”

At this moment, Ouyang, who was in Zhenjun Temple, also received a telegram from the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army and Commander Nie Rongzhen of Jinchaji.

"The 14th Division of the Japanese Army, the division commander Tufei Yuan Kenji, has led his troops to leave Baoding, more than 20,000 Japanese troops, plus 10,000 puppet troops, a total of more than 30,000 people, are assembling in Zhengding!"

At the same time, the actions of the 129th Division were also described in the message:

The 385th Brigade of the 129th Division, commanded by brigade commander Wang Hongkun (founding general) and assisted by deputy brigade commander Wang Weizhou, commanded the 769th Regiment and 770th Regiment of the headquarters, with a total of more than 5,000 people.

The officers of the department also included a large number of future founding generals such as Tang Tianji, Chen Xilian, Zhang Caiqian, Ding Xianguo, Wang Naigui, Meng Jingyu, and Hu Qicai.

The 386th Brigade of the 129th Division, commanded by Brigade Commander Chen Geng (Founding General) and assisted by Deputy Brigade Commander Chen Zaidao (Founding General), commanded the 771st Regiment and 772nd Regiment of the Division, totaling more than 6,000 people.

The officers of the department also included Wang Xinting, Li Jukui, Xu Shenji, Wu Fushan, Han Dongshan, Huang Xinyou, Ye Chenghuan, Xie Fuzhi, Wang Jinshan, and others.

After reading the telegram, Ouyang couldn't help but sigh: "The division commander is really bold, if he doesn't make a move, once he makes a move, it's really a big deal!" ”

Ouyang immediately called political commissar Zhao Gang and others for a meeting, and finally issued an order: "Order the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion to go to Wu'an quickly, and all battalions will be built quickly, and the time has come for our White Tiger guerrillas to kill the enemy!" ”

An anti-encirclement war is about to officially start!
