Zhou Wen originally did not intend to clarify the matter of the Sixth Brigade with the commander today, but since the commander took the initiative to bring it up, Zhou Wen naturally acted according to the situation. However, the overall effect was very good, and it also bought Zhou Wen more preparation time.
Zhou Wen's reorganization plan for the Sixth Brigade is actually considered to be in two steps. The first step is to eliminate a few veteran officers and add some firepower configuration. As long as it is not a field battle with the Japanese army and the terrain and solid fortifications are occupied,
, as long as you can stick to the cold words. When the Great Wall War of Resistance is over and you have achieved military exploits, it will be much easier to reason with the commander and negotiate conditions, and then further reorganization will be carried out.
Because Zhou Wen was planning not only this Great Wall War of Resistance, but also friendly forces that could work closely with the mercenary group during the all-out War of Resistance a few years later.
He didn't expect that the commander-in-chief would agree to the final organization plan he envisioned today. In this case, the model brigade would have an organization of more than 9,000 people. Although the number of heavy firepower in the entire brigade is not as much as that of a regular Japanese brigade, it is hard to
A regiment of the Anti-Japanese Army is more than enough, not to mention that individual weapons have far exceeded that of the Japanese army. The firepower of a squad consisting of light machine guns, semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns can suppress a Japanese unit.
Of course, with the establishment and weapons, people still need to use them. Zhou Wen is not worried about this. Now that he has experience in how to train veterans who already have a basic foundation, he can just apply the training and teaching method to the second detachment of the corps.
Thinking that he is about to lead more than 10,000 of the most elite Chinese troops to start a new round of competition with the Japanese, Zhou Wen is now in a state of excitement and high morale.
After coming out of the Marshal's Mansion, Zhou Wen hurriedly drove to Zhao Changshu's headquarters. One of them was hungry. He never came to see the Marshal without caring about food. The other of course wanted to tell the good news to the Marshal.
Senior, please plan carefully later.
…
Time soon entered September. At this time, some moderate rumors emerged in Taiyuan official circles. It was said that General Zhao Changshu, who was originally the commander of the Taiyuan garrison, was dismissed from his post on the spot because he contradicted the commander-in-chief.
All the brigades were transferred to garrison in some nook and cranny of the mountain.
Of course, these turmoils in the officialdom are just a topic for ordinary people to brag about in their spare time, and they have to live their lives as usual.
On this day, the sky was full of mid-autumn rain. Peng Feng came to Qingjing Bookstore with an umbrella. He put away his umbrella under the dripping eaves, glanced around slightly, then opened the door curtain and walked in.
Peng Feng, who came to the back room, saw Xia Boyan and joked: "I said, Lao Xia, if you call me here in such a hurry, is it because you can't get rid of the pot again and want to find me to fight against the autumn wind?"
Xia Boyan looked solemn, handed Peng Feng a cigarette, lit one and took a puff, and then said: "Old Peng, there is something wrong in the city recently! Police and plainclothes are setting up cards everywhere, there are several
The comrades were all taken to the police station for questioning because they did not bring their IDs. Although they were finally released after finding guarantors, the superiors were eager to know what was going on and whether the Office of Appeasement had taken any action against underground organizations."
Peng Feng said with a smile: "You really found the right person to talk to me about this matter. Don't you know that I am also a spy? This is what the sheep head did. It is nominally called "Managing the Urban Environment"
, "Special Struggle to Combat Gangsters and Eliminate Evil" is actually a major operation against Japanese spies lurking in Taiyuan City."
Speaking of this, someone said in a loud voice: "Look, this guy has got such a mysterious name, and he also specializes in fighting crime and eradicating evil. Is this how the word struggle is used?"
"Is it aimed at the Japanese? Why didn't you tell me earlier? This is really troublesome."
"Hey! Comrade Lao Xia, your stance is wrong. Why is it so troublesome to catch the Japanese? Do you still sympathize with the Japanese?"
"Alas! That's not what I meant..."
Xia Boyan frowned, stood up and walked back and forth in the room, as if he was very troubled.
Peng Feng said: "I said, is there anything you can't say to me? Besides, I only found out about it this morning when I happened to meet an acquaintance from the urban management department who taught the cultural department. It's really impossible for ordinary people to know this news."
Xia Boyan said: "According to discipline, I really couldn't tell you, but now I can only see if there is anything you can do."
As soon as Peng Feng heard about the discipline, his expression became serious.
"That's it. After the new leader arrives, he plans to organize a provincial party committee meeting to convey the latest instructions of the organization and the next work plan. The time was originally scheduled for two days later, and the leading comrades from other counties have basically arrived.
This is the most important meeting organized in more than two years. Who would have known that it would coincide with a city-wide cleanup. You know, it is not easy for comrades from the county to come. Some comrades had to walk hundreds of miles of mountain roads to get there.
Yes, if it is cancelled, it will have a huge impact on the enthusiasm of comrades, what do you think we should do?"
Peng Feng knew it was really troublesome as soon as he heard it. It was too dangerous to hold a provincial party committee meeting during this period, and this kind of meeting did not just last for one day, but usually lasted for more than two days. That included all the backbone leaders of a province.
If anything goes wrong, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Wouldn't it be more convenient to hold this kind of meeting in that county? Why should it be arranged to come to Taiyuan City?"
Xia Boyan glanced at Peng Feng strangely, and then said: "It's not because of you."
"Because of me?" Peng Feng was even more surprised. Your choice of meeting location has something to do with me.
"It is because of your relationship with Yangtou for more than a year that the provincial party headquarters and police station in Taiyuan City have not taken any action against the organization, and the development of Taiyuan's underground organization is also the best and smoothest in the province, so
The superiors believe that Taiyuan City is relatively safer."
"I'm going to choke you! It's going around and around, but it's coming back to my head."
Peng Feng thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Are we going to ask Yangtou for help? Isn't this too risky?"
Xia Boyan sighed and said: "It's a bit risky, but it's worth a try. You should first test his tone and see what he says."
…
At this time, Zhou Wen was not the one Peng Feng said he could meet, because he was no longer in Taiyuan, but in Quyang County, about 30 kilometers away from Taiyuan.
Quyang County is an important intersection of the Zhengtai Railway and the Tongpu Railway, and is also an important gateway to the north of Taiyuan City. It is protected by Yunzhong Mountain in the front and backed by the Fortress City in the back. The strategic location is very important. It has been the base of Shanxi's military garrison since ancient times.
land.
At the foot of a mountain more than ten miles north of Quyang County, a huge military camp is bustling with traffic and people. Trucks, horse-drawn carriages, and ox carts come and go. On a simple road from the county town to the military camp, countless people
Migrant workers and ordinary people drove various large vehicles back and forth, and the materials on the vehicles made the vehicles creak loudly.
