Three hundred and fiftieth chapters gather scattered soldiers
When the 280th Regiment of the Central Army was stationed in Linnan, Zhang Hao also led his soldiers to march towards the mountainous area in the southwest of Lin County under the moonlight.
The terrain of Lin County is high in the west and low in the east, so the Japanese army only occupied part of the eastern part of Lin County, while some anti-Japanese armed forces were entrenched in the west.
Zhang Hao and his party were behind Linli Mountain in the western mountainous area of Lin County. The various armed forces hidden in the mountains were all connected to each other. A group of well-equipped central military forces appeared in front of them majestically. How could the various armed forces not respond?
.
An unknown mountain village at the northern foot of Tianping Mountain was originally occupied by a group of stragglers. After Zhang Hao brought his people here, he directly occupied the place.
The stragglers here saw the Central Army uniforms worn by Zhang Hao and his party, and without the slightest resistance, they were recruited by Zhang Hao.
After preliminary testing, it was discovered that the leader was actually a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, so the armed leaders from all walks of life became even more convinced.
"Sir Zhang, my name is He Zhaoqiang, and I am from the Sanlian Village at the southern foot of Taiping Mountain. My parents heard that your Central Army is entrenched here and specially invited you to the village for a banquet!" said a man wearing a shabby military uniform.
Zhang Hao carefully looked at He Zhaoqiang in front of him, and could vaguely see that he was wearing the military uniform of the Jinsui Army.
"You were originally from the Jinsui Army?"
"Our unit is the newly formed second division of the second war zone. The division commander is General Jin Xianzhang. We fought with the Eighth Route Army in the front section and were dispersed. Commander Jin went to the rear. We, a group of defeated generals, were left here and completely lost.
There is no one to care about. Brothers are hungry and full, but there is no hope at all in this day?" He Zhaoqiang said with a wry smile.
Zhang Hao understood, "Yan Laoxi is so shrewd. In addition, foreign troops like the newly formed Second Division obviously cannot be trusted by him."
At this time, most of the Shanxi-Sui Army was trapped in a corner of western Shanxi, and even its direct descendants could not guarantee timely supply of military supplies, not to mention some personnel who had long been crossed off the list of World War II zones.
Zhang Hao happily went to Sanlian Village at the southern foot of Taiping Mountain without any fear.
After a harmonious exchange between the two sides, the Central Army's purpose of coming here spread like wildfire, spreading throughout the surrounding Honggu Mountain, Baijian Mountain, and Longfeng Mountain.
The visitor was part of the defeated 281st Regiment of the 97th Army. He had contacted Shangfeng before and came to Lin County to raise the banner of resistance against Japan.
"I heard that a large amount of supplies will be transported in the future. It seems that the Central Army is serious about it!"
"Nonsense, my troops were miserably trapped by the Central Army. When we were in southeastern Shanxi, the little devils came, and the Central Army retreated without a word, leaving me as cannon fodder at the front. This time it's still...
They are holding up the anti-Japanese banner to deceive us, but I don’t believe it anyway!”
"What's more, they are from the 97th fucking Army. These idiots were made miserable by the Eighth Route Army some time ago. Maybe Chiang Kai-shek didn't give up and wanted to regain his strength in Lin County and continue to compete with the Eighth Route Army. I don't want to
Get into trouble with this!"
This is a cave dwelling, and there are more than a dozen people of various sizes sitting in the cave dwelling, all of whom are armed leaders from the Linlu Mountain area.
The man speaking had a beard on his face, and spittle flew all over the face of the person opposite him.
What he said was not optimistic about the sudden arrival of the Central Army.
After Beard said this, the rest of the people present immediately calmed down. They had been attracted by the name of the Central Army and the large amount of supplies, and they all wanted to get closer.
Now that I think about it, it is not the Central Army's usual tactic to use miscellaneous people as cannon fodder, let alone a group of people like them who don't even have a regular designation.
Some people secretly thought that after the arrival of the Central Army, the lives of the brothers might not be as good as before.
"Lao Fang, haven't you met the major battalion commander of the Central Army before? The rumors came from your village. Tell me!" said one of the people present.
Seeing that everyone else was looking at him, the leader of Sanlian Village, Fang Zhai, said bravely: "That man named Liu Ziming really said that, and he said it with all his heart. I think he is a very decent person, and he can't lie!
"
"During the conversation, he said that he was an officer cadet in Huangpu. He spoke clearly and logically. There should be no problem with this identity!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone sneered and said: "Old Fang, you were originally a company commander in the new second division. Have you met the people in Huangpu? Do you know whether what Liu Ziming said is true or false?"
"Captain Guo, tell us what we should do?"
The name of Captain Guo in this population is Guo Huaiwu, who was originally a guard beside Commander Song of the 29th Army.
Later, the 29th Army withdrew southward, and the troops under his command fell apart. Song lost power and lived in seclusion. Guo Huaiwu led a group of men to continue fighting guerrillas against the Japanese army in Linlushan.
In the Linlu Mountains, because Guo Huaiwu was the most ruthless in fighting the Japanese, he started with more than a hundred people and gradually grew to more than 800 people today, making him the largest anti-Japanese armed force in the Linlu Mountains.
"What's there to say? What will happen if the Central Army comes or doesn't come? I only see the Japs. Whoever fights the Japs is a brother. If anyone takes refuge with the Japs, don't blame me for not recognizing the knife in my hand.
Got it!" Guo Huaiwu said coldly.
On the other side, after Zhang Hao planted a pole and flag on Tianping Mountain, he didn't know whether it was the Central Army's reputation that attracted him or the supplies.
In three days, no less than two hundred people came to the northern foot of Tianping Mountain to seek refuge.
Zhang Hao originally planned to get a ticket and leave. Each person would only carry five days' worth of supplies, if it weren't for the fact that there were some supplies already stored in the village.
The soldiers of the Fourth Regiment are almost exhausted. How can they feed these more than 200 extra people?
Seeing this situation, Zhang Hao made an immediate decision and sent a soldier to contact the main force of the first battalion to meet on the south bank of the Zhang River. The other soldiers took this group of stragglers to the planned meeting point on the south bank of the Zhang River.
Originally they thought it was the Central Army, but a group of Eighth Route Army rushed out. These people were immediately dumbfounded.
Those who were carrying weapons were immediately disarmed and followed obediently to the camp of the first battalion.
On the same day, Wang Yigong and Gao Zhiheng received the news reported by the first battalion.
"Captain, isn't it a little inappropriate to do this? Although we are not wearing the uniform of our Eighth Route Army, if the news is leaked..." Gao Zhiheng said hesitantly.
Even Wang Yigong, who was eager to get the fourth regiment to full strength, hesitated a little at this time, and then said: "The order was given by the superiors, so we should report this matter to the military region!"
On the Yama Mountain.
When Zhao Gang learned about this, he slammed the table angrily: "Isn't this nonsense? Zhang Hao came up with such a bad idea, wearing the clothes of the Central Army to show off and deceive. When did our Eighth Route Army recruit recruits in this way!"
Zhou Weihan also had a headache. He was indeed the one who gave the order, but he didn't expect that such a thing could happen.
After calming down, Zhou Weihan said: "Old Zhao, you have to look at this from both sides. Our Tainan Military Region in Lin County will have a hand sooner or later. It's better to let Zhang Hao stay in Lin County. Didn't he say that he has a large amount of supplies? I
Just allocate a batch of supplies to him and let Zhang Hao gain a foothold in Lin County!"
"You are changing the subject and confusing right and wrong!"
"This cannot be said like this. After the defeat of the 97th Army, it is inevitable that a small force will want to regain its strength. Who can prove that Zhang Hao is not from the 97th Army?
