614 Mission of the Mountain Company
Nakajo Mountain.
With the humiliating defeat of the Nationalist army in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the situation of the anti-Japanese war in the north has been greatly reversed, and the Chinese army is in a rather passive situation.
Especially after the defeated Nationalist army retreated south of the Yellow River at Zhongtiao Mountain.
The three divisions and regiments that the Japanese army originally used to blockade the base area of the National Army in Zhongtiao Mountain began to gradually withdraw troops to deal with the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Taihang, Taiyue and other places.
This is tantamount to adding insult to injury to the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the base area, which has been blockaded by the Japanese army in all aspects such as military and economic blockade.
In a remote village in the area of the fall of Nakajo Mountain.
Han Feng and the mountain company were temporarily stationed here.
Not long ago, Han Feng sent a small group of sneak attack troops and blew up three arsenals set up by the devils in the counties of Zhongtiao Mountain in one fell swoop.
At that time, in order to win the merit and redeem the shame of the disastrous defeat at Zhongtiao Mountain, the national army said to the outside world that the guerrillas of the national army were responsible for blowing up the devil's arsenal.
Therefore, the national army that withdrew from Nakajo Mountain was forced by the pressure of public opinion.
Two regiments were sent to prepare to attack Nakajo Mountain while the devil's arsenal was bombed and the ammunition of the Japanese puppet army at Nakajo Mountain was scarce.
As a result, the insidious little devils concentrated the ammunition of the defenders of each county town in one place and ambushed the national army that came to attack Zhongtiao Mountain.
As a result, the national army troops were defeated and retreated, and they no longer dared to easily send troops to Zhongtiao Mountain.
Han Feng took advantage of the war between the Japanese army and the national army, and took advantage of the emptiness of Yuanxian troops, led the team to defeat Yuanxian in one fell swoop, and looted the military granary and material depot of the devils in Yuanxian County.
As for the big hat.
In Han Feng's words: "Of course, it still has to be buckled on the head of the national army, such a big military victory, I think if we give it to the national army, the national army will accept it gladly." ”
As a result, under the covert activities of some anti-Japanese people in Yuan County.
Taking advantage of the emptiness of the Japanese army in Yuanxian County, those who conquered Yuanxian became guerrillas of the national army again.
When the news reached the Kuomintang area south of the Yellow River, everything was as Han Feng and the others expected, and the Nationalist army gladly accepted the news that it was the Kuomintang guerrillas who had conquered Yuanxian County.
And again through the newspapers to publicize it.
In order to boost the morale of the army and the people to resist Japan.
In order to show the determination of the national army to resist Japan and redeem the shame of the disastrous defeat of Zhongtiao Mountain, the national army subsequently sent several troops to move closer to the direction of Zhongtiao Mountain.
At least make it look like you may return to Nakajo Mountain at any time to win back the hearts of the people.
No matter how inconsistent this move of the national army is, the actual effect is still there.
At the very least, the Japanese army did not dare to take it lightly, and sent corresponding troops to garrison on the other side of the Yellow River, where the Nationalist army was stationed.
This naturally reduced the pressure of the Japanese puppet army on Han Feng and his guerrillas to a certain extent.
Han Feng, Zhang Min, and Du Zhongcheng, the three mountain companies that came from the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment.
With the help of looting the devil's material warehouse, money village, pawnshop and the like from Yuan County, he got the seizure.
plus the proceeds of robbing the secret smuggling lines between the national army and the Japanese army during this time.
There are also the people of the vast villages in the base areas who support the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in resisting Japan.
In the mountains that Han Feng took away from the Independent Regiment, there were only one hundred and twenty soldiers, and now it has grown to more than five hundred people.
Zhang Min of the new regiment originally brought 130 soldiers from the mountain company of the new regiment, but now it has grown to more than 300 people.
The company of Du Zhongcheng, commander of the mountain company of the new Second Regiment, has also grown from 130 to more than 300 people.
Taken together, the three mountain armies already have nearly 1,200 troops.
"This is already the sum of the strength of our regiments at the beginning of their establishment!"
At the meeting, Zhang Min said with a smile.
Kong Jie said: "Lao Zhang, Lao Du, at present, there are basically only three of our companies fighting guerrilla warfare in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain, and the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the environment against the enemy is quite grim. ”
"In this case, the development of our mountain company is not as many people as possible, the main thing is to be fine, only if the troops are elite enough, can they rely on the mountains and lead the little devil's nose."
"Therefore, the development of our troops must not be indiscriminately filled at any time. Some of the five or six hundred soldiers who have developed at present are local people, and some have joined our national army. ”
"This can easily cause the hearts of our team to be unified, so on the one hand, we must continue to fight against Japan, and on the other hand, we must integrate the hearts of all our soldiers and soldiers into a rope."
After Han Feng said, the instructors of the three mountain companies who participated in the meeting spoke one after another:
"Old Han, don't worry, we already have a whole set of mature ideas for the ideological education of new comrades, and it is only a matter of time before this changes."
"With our old team, nothing can go wrong with the team."
Kong Jie smiled: "Several instructors have said so, then there will be no problem." ”
Zhang Min echoed: "That is, with our instructor here, Lao Han and Lao Du, the three of us will save trouble, and we can only think about how to fight devils." ”
Hahahaha –
Then he talked about the recent changes in the situation against the enemy at Mt. Nakajo.
Du Zhongcheng said: "Comrades, these days according to the intelligence we have gathered from reconnaissance in various directions.
There are two main points.
First, it's still the same old problem, the devil is withdrawing troops from the area of Zhongtiao Mountain, and it is in the direction of Taiyuan.
Second, the Japanese army has recently arrived at a number of convoys to the Nakajo Mountains, and I suspect that the devils have re-established a secret arsenal, and the Japanese army has once again abundant ammunition.
This means that it is basically impossible for us to take advantage of the lack of troops and the scarcity of ammunition to fight like Yuanxian in the face of the devil's troops. ”
Zhang Min said helplessly: "Yes, in this way, it seems that we will not make any big progress in the situation against Japan in Zhongtiao Mountain for the time being." ”
"The most difficult thing in the follow-up is how to feed the troops."
"Fortunately, last time I defeated Yuan County, Master Shen took the opportunity to gain the trust of the old devil Harada, and with Master Shen's secret assistance, our troops will not go hungry."
Du Zhongcheng said: "I'm afraid that our troops will not be able to continue to expand the army for the time being." ”
Han Feng said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, we should seek stability first, and if we can't directly expand the main combat force, we should first do a good job in mass work, build militia units in dense villages in our guerrilla areas, and train them."
When the time comes, when we really need to replenish and expand the troops, we will have our militia comrades here, that is, in the blink of an eye. ”
As soon as Han Feng said this, the pressure seemed to decrease.
Zhang Min said with a smile: "Your old Han is not in a hurry, your first mountain company has more than 200 people than our second and third companies, and it can basically be said to be a battalion." ”
"In addition, we have heard that when you left the Independent Regiment, Old Han, Regiment Commander Kong promised you."
"If a company's team brings out a battalion, let you be the company commander after returning to the independent regiment, if you can bring out a regiment, go back and let you be the battalion commander."
"What, Old Han, don't you really want to expand your company into a regiment and go back to be the battalion commander?"
"Look at your little pattern." Han Feng said solemnly: "I'm wondering, after we build up the popular base in Zhongtiao Mountain, can we expand our team into a brigade!" ”
After hearing this, the cadres couldn't hold back anymore and laughed together.
"Good guy, old Han, why don't you say that it will be expanded into a division? You kid shouldn't be worried about the position of the head of the regiment of Shangkong, right? ”
Han Feng replied: "What's the matter, no? ”
Zhang Minle said: "Your kid went back to be the head of the regiment, what about the head of the regiment Kong?" ”
Han Feng said: "Then it goes without saying, with the combat exploits and ability of my family commander, it is more than enough to be a brigade commander, right?" ”
Zhang Min was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's to get a commander for Commander Kong, I think you kid also think it should be." ”
"That's it!" Han Feng said with a smile.
Everyone laughed for a moment, and then turned back to the topic, Han Feng said:
"Comrades, before the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, in order to blockade the Zhongtiao Mountain base of the National Army, the little devils put a whole three divisions near Zhongtiao Mountain."
"Now that the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain is over, the national army has withdrawn from Zhongtiao Mountain."
"The Japanese army is seeing that there is no major threat to Zhongtiao Mountain, and these days, the three divisions that were originally stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain have also begun to reinforce in the direction of Taiyuan."
"What is the purpose of the devil in withdrawing these troops? Isn't that obvious? ”
Zhang Min said: "Old Han, do you mean that the devil withdrew the main force, and he is preparing to accumulate strength to deal with our Taihang base area?" ”
"There's only one explanation." Han Feng said, and then analyzed his own views:
"At the end of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the Japanese army occupied the position of Zhongtiao Mountain, and it was seen that the passage to the south was opened, but there was still the Yellow River as a natural barrier in the direction of the south."
"On the surface, since the Japanese army has taken Zhongtiao Mountain, it should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue and continue to fight south to expand the occupied area."
"It doesn't seem to be difficult for the Japanese troops to cross the Yellow River, but it's not so easy for the devil's heavy chariots and artillery to cross the river, and the Yellow River basin in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain is too shallow compared to the sea area, and the devil doesn't have large warships and landing ships to stay in this area."
"In addition, the transportation route across the Yellow River is easily cut off by our army or the national army, and the Japanese army wants to fight south, and there is no guarantee that this Yellow River transportation line is stable, so it will not easily go south and move to Xi'an."
"Therefore, the combat intentions of the Japanese army are very clear, the devils are afraid of our main force in the Taihang area, and they are ready to withdraw their troops before going south, and concentrate on dealing with our Taihang base area."
"If I were a little devil, I would do the same, take the lead in defeating the Taihang base that poses the greatest threat to devils, and after ensuring the stability of the rear, I will wave my troops south and move to Xi'an."
Zhang Min, Du Zhongcheng, and several instructors nodded their heads again and again.
Zhang Min said worriedly: "In this way, if the Japanese troops still stationed in the Zhongtiao Mountain area continue to return to the direction of Taiyuan, the pressure on our Taihang base area will become greater and greater!" ”
Han Feng nodded heavily: "That's true, not long ago, I also received a message from the head of my family. ”
"What our regiment commander means is that it is best to expand the battle line at present, and we must not let the main forces of the devils gather in one place. Therefore, if there is any need for equipment and support in troops, the regiment commander will come over at any time. ”
"There is only one task assigned to us, to do everything our three mountain companies can to find a way to drag more Japanese troops in the area of Nakajo Mountain."
"On the one hand, it is to reduce the combat pressure of the main force in the Taihang base area, and on the other hand, to buy time for the development of our Taihang base area as much as possible."
"Comrades, this is the mission of our mountain company!"
Naturally, the cadres did not say anything, and immediately expressed their positions.
"It's over!"
