Chapter 349 Support
At this time, Political Commissar Yuan interjected: "I'll tell you the truth. Yesterday, a crashed Japanese reconnaissance plane flew to the territory of our independent regiment. I think everyone knows about it."
Everyone naturally nodded. They all had a quarrel about the allocation of the two heavy machine guns plus the Japanese heavy machine guns. In the end, Captain Gu established a new fire platoon and temporarily solved the problem.
Political Commissar Yuan continued: "On the crashed Japanese plane, there were not only two Japanese heavy machine guns, but also a Japanese radio station and a code book."
“After I took it in and translated it, what was inside was shocking.”
Captain Gu looked at Political Commissar Yuan and said, "Old Yuan, don't think about it, just say it directly, I will make the comrades anxious."
Political Commissar Yuan: "Comrades, the situation inside is very urgent. Have you noticed that this time the Japanese raids, although the troops were deployed quite quickly, they did not have the tough offensive capabilities in the past and could basically run away at a touch."
"At first, I thought it was because the strength of our independent group had greatly increased, and the posture of some of the main groups made the Japanese a little afraid of us."
"After this sweep, not only did we not suffer much loss, but our weapons and equipment have been greatly expanded. I am still a little complacent, thinking that we have completed the party's mission."
"Now it seems that this is not the case at all. According to the Japanese's radio intelligence, the Japanese's raid on our Taihang Military Region was fake, and the attack on the newly established Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is real."
There was a huge buzz in the audience immediately, and many people whispered: "This time the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is in danger, what, do we need support, how can we provide resources and so on."
Political Commissar Yuan saw the mood of the comrades in the audience asking for war, and felt reassured, saying: "Comrades, be quiet, be quiet."
After no one spoke, Political Commissar Yuan said: "Since we know that the Japs are all revolutionary comrades, we in the Taihang Military Region must help."
Immediately there were shouts of "Give an order" and "Resolutely complete the task."
After the scene became quieter, political commissar Yuan glanced at Captain Gu. Captain Yuan stood up and said: "Comrades, the Party has considered that our independent regiment was the first to discover the enemy's intelligence."
"Coupled with the actual situation that after the enemy's sweep, the independent regiment's establishment not only did not shrink, but expanded a lot, the party organization decided to hand over part of the task of supporting the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to us."
Comrades are naturally in high spirits.
Commander Gu continued: "Comrades, the party organization has considered that the main purpose of our mission is to attract the attention of the Japanese and reduce the pressure on the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region."
"So the following decision has been made. I know that many of you sitting here came from Commander Chen's 386th Brigade. Naturally, you also know the name of the 386th Brigade among the Japanese."
"So the party organization decided to let our independent regiment take part in the 772nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade and go south to join the Jinan Military Region to defeat part of the Japanese siege."
When the comrades heard that they could not raise the banner of the Independent League, they felt a little aggrieved. However, considering that this was a decision made by the party organization, it was hard to say anything, but they had already made a decision in their hearts to fight.
Soon, Commander Gu began to arrange tasks again. Considering this long-distance support mission, Commander Gu decided to only bring the first and second battalions plus most of the troops of the regiment's security company and reconnaissance platoon.
Because the Third Battalion had more recruits and was still in training, and its combat effectiveness was low, it stayed at the Xishan base together with the logistics troops.
As for weapons, this time the whole regiment dispatched nearly 900 people, and all the soldiers on the sixth floor were issued firearms, ensuring that two out of the three had hot weapons. This was really a treatment only reserved for the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
Four wooden handle grenades per person, twenty bullets for recruits, and forty bullets for veterans were all distributed.
As for heavy weapons, the entire regiment had nine Czech-style light machine guns and four crooked-handled light machine guns, except for one that was broken.
The two newly captured extended heavy machine guns were not brought along because they were too heavy and would cause problems with the speed of movement.
In order to enhance the firepower of the independent regiment, one of the two Type 20 82 mortars was taken away with 40 rounds of ammunition.
On the contrary, the Independent Regiment has five Japanese grenade launchers, and Captain Gu has brought them all. Two of them are evenly assigned to his first and second battalions, and the third is assigned directly to the regiment headquarters.
After knowing that one mortar, three grenades, and five light machine guns were all captured by him, Xie Yu felt indescribably happy.
Thinking of the role of the gourd mark, Xie Yu volunteered to lead the reconnaissance platoon to explore the way forward.
Commander Gu knew that Xie Yu could use a grenade, so he issued Xie Yu another grenade, four special grenade grenades, and eight Japanese-style 91 grenades, and let Xie Yu set out to explore the road. .
As for the others, they also quickly started to go back to prepare. This time, it should be a direct order from the Special Committee. Comrades do not need to prepare too much dry food. The independent regiment first went to the Special Committee to replenish some logistics materials before they detoured to the south of the wing. action.
Xie Yu did not care about the preparations of the other comrades of the Independent Regiment. Although the reconnaissance platoon not only numbered fifty people, they were all veterans and could be regarded as the elite of the Independent Regiment.
Xie Yu first took them to Lao Cui from the Logistics Department. He first ensured that each of them had four wooden handle grenades and fifty rounds of ammunition for their rifles. After receiving some shell gun ammunition, they set off.
As for the tortoise box of bullets, Xie Yu seized a lot of them from the pilot and didn't take any more.
At this time, Xie Yu suddenly remembered the Browning pistol, and asked the reconnaissance platoon leader to lead the soldiers to get some dry food, and then returned to the regiment headquarters to deliver the Browning pistol and the matching 30 rounds of ammunition. Gave it to political commissar Yuan.
Political Commissar Yuan naturally liked it very much, and secretly told Xie Yu a few times, and asked Xie Yu to set off quickly.
Then Xie Yuxian led the prepared reconnaissance platoon soldiers and quickly headed eastward.
After Xie Yu first contacted a local comrade, under the leadership of the local comrades, he first connected with the local guerrillas, and then quickly collected intelligence on the road.
After Xie Yu personally conducted several more investigations, he passed the rough information back to the Independent Regiment.
By the time the order from the independent regiment came through, Xie Yu had already led the reconnaissance platoon and local guerrilla comrades to fight several small battles.
They are mainly reconnaissance teams of the puppet army and maintain their armed forces. These armed forces are not strong in combat effectiveness and their will to fight is not firm.
But they are familiar with local conditions, and they are quite powerful against local guerrillas who only have a few native guns, broadswords and red tassels.
It's a pity that they met Xie Yu.
Xie Yu first used the 38 big cover to pass through the gourd mark and kill those threatening reactionaries. The other enemies immediately surrendered.
The soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon and the comrades of the local guerrillas also looked at Xie Yu strangely. They felt that these enemies were completely different from the usual ones, as if they were made of paper.
After the soldiers fired three shots, they surrendered as soon as they charged the enemy.
Only a few of the soldiers were sprained because they rushed too fast, and none of them received a counterattack from the enemy.
It was not as smooth as Hua's. Thirteen short guns and more than thirty rifles were seized.
After Xie Yu discussed with the local guerrillas, they divided the firearms equally.
Of course, since the reconnaissance platoon soldiers had no shortage of firearms, Xie Yu temporarily lent these firearms to the guerrillas.
The local guerrillas took the initiative to cooperate with Xie Yu's actions, and even local comrades began to let the village militia follow Xie Yu's actions.
Xie Yu frowned, but Xie Yu, who had participated in operations to sweep away and relocate the masses, knew the hard work of local comrades, so he didn't say anything.
