Chapter 179 The successful anti-encirclement campaign in summer
"Genzi, you are pretty good, but you have too little combat experience." Wei Dayong pulled Liu Gen up and said with a smile.
Liu Gen nodded, "Then we will fight more often. It's just that your fists are too hard, and it will be too painful to fight with you."
Looking at his fist, Liu Gen could see that the skin on it was broken. If he continued to fight with Wei Dayong, the bones would probably be injured. Who made Wei Dayong's fist so hard? Liu Gen didn't understand Wei Dayong's fist.
Why is it so hard.
"That's because you haven't practiced much. Look at my fists." Seeing the injuries on Liu Gen's fists, Wei Dayong said with a smile.
Wei Dayong stretched out his fist for Liu Gen to take a good look at. Liu Gen's eyes fell on his fist, and he could see that there were very obvious calluses on Wei Dayong's hands. And compared with Liu Gen, Wei Dayong's fingers were obviously much thicker.
, the hands look very powerful.
"No wonder, the training of the next battalion of soldiers will be left to you. Be strict, as long as the soldiers have no physical problems." Liu Gen nodded and said.
Looking at the soldiers of the first battalion, Liu Gen asked the soldiers to continue training. Without Liu Gen's words, Wei Dayong started training the soldiers directly. Liu Gen, the new battalion commander, was not idle either. He followed the soldiers.
They trained together. Wei Dayong had real skills. Naturally, he wanted to learn something from Wei Dayong.
With Wei Dayong's teachings, the soldiers of the first battalion worked harder in training. Having seen Wei Dayong's strength, the soldiers naturally wanted to become as strong as Wei Dayong. Not to mention, the soldiers could see Liu Gen
The new battalion commander was also training with them, so naturally they did not dare to relax at all.
In training, Wei Dayong is quite strict. If the soldiers do not perform well in training, he will first point out the soldiers' shortcomings. If the soldiers make the same mistake again and again, Wei Dayong will not be polite. He will directly compete with the soldiers.
If you can't even defeat him, what right do the soldiers have to not train seriously?
Even Liu Gen was trained by Wei Dayong, but Liu Gen had a strong learning ability. Whenever Wei Dayong pointed out his shortcomings, he could quickly correct them. It must be said that Liu Gen invited Wei Dayong to
It is a very wise choice to become an instructor in the First Battalion.
With Wei Dayong's teachings, the soldiers of the first battalion have made significant changes in just two or three days. Coupled with the formation exercises that Liu Gen required the soldiers to do every day, the soldiers' discipline has improved even more.
Significantly improved.
When Zhao Gang came to the First Battalion to be an instructor, no one among the soldiers in the First Battalion objected. The soldiers still had a good impression of Zhao Gang, the political commissar. When Zhao Gang came to the Independent Regiment, he treated the soldiers quite gently.
Whenever any problem arose among the soldiers, Zhao Gang, the political commissar, would patiently solve it.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Gang was able to successfully integrate into the independent regiment soon after joining it and gained the love of the soldiers. Especially after Zhao Gang showed off his marksmanship, the soldiers in the first battalion were even more satisfied. After listening to Zhao Gang
This marksmanship instructor was very serious when explaining.
Two days after Zhao Gang came to the First Battalion to teach marksmanship, Liu Gen selected some qualified puppet soldiers to join the First Battalion. The puppet soldiers selected by Liu Gen were all pretty good. After Zhao Gang's ideological education, he deeply realized his own
Wrong, choose to join an independent group to fight the Japanese.
The puppet soldiers who had just joined the first battalion were somewhat unable to integrate. Liu Gen divided the puppet soldiers into each class and required the soldiers in each class to unite. Every day, the results of each class would be recorded and given.
After corresponding rewards and punishments, this situation will be improved to some extent.
A week later, the new puppet soldiers who joined the first battalion successfully integrated into the first battalion and truly became a member of the first battalion. Of course, this is also because the soldiers are all in similar situations. They all come from poor families and share the same common destiny.
Language can be talked about together.
What's more, with the reward and punishment system proposed by Liu Gen, each squad of soldiers in the first battalion must work very hard and conscientiously, and no soldiers who are lagging behind can be found in each squad. This also means that the newly added pseudo-soldiers in the first battalion must work hard and conscientiously.
The army will get help from the soldiers in the squad, and the exchanges with each other will increase, and naturally they will be better integrated into the first battalion.
Half a month later, the Japs' summer siege and suppression was declared a failure. The small Japs troops that carried out the siege and suppression of the Eighth Route Army base areas withdrew from the base areas and returned to their respective strongholds. In the past month, each unit of the 129th Division had hundreds of battles with the Japs.
These battles, especially the 386th Brigade, under the command of the brigade commander, effectively destroyed the Japanese's effective forces.
The battles between the Eighth Route Army units and the Japs made it difficult for the Japs to advance in the base areas. Various combat methods such as guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare, and mine warfare made it difficult for the Japs to defend themselves. Every little Japs was so annoyed by the attacks by the Eighth Route Army troops that they could only declare
The failure of this siege.
It is said that the success of the Eighth Route Army's counter-encirclement and suppression campaign in the summer made Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army in North China stationed in Shanxi, so angry that many vases in his room were broken. After Yoshio Shinozuka took office, he organized several
The Eighth Route Army encircled and suppressed various base areas, but each time it was resolved by the Eighth Route Army and caused considerable losses to the little devils.
The success of the Eighth Route Army's counter-encirclement and suppression campaign made the militant Yoshio Shinozuka extremely disappointed. At the same time, he paid more and more attention to the continuous growth of the Eighth Route Army's base areas behind him.
Entering July, the Japanese troops shrank, but in order to curb the development of the Eighth Route Army base areas, the Japanese army vigorously promoted the cage policy of "using railways as pillars, highways as chains, and bunkers as locks". Japan established large and small towns, stations and bridges along the railway,
Strong strongholds were built near the tunnels, each guarded by dozens to hundreds of troops, and armored trains were sent to patrol.
Among them, the Zhengtai Railway played an important role in the Japanese "cage policy". The Japanese army used it to isolate the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the Taihang Mountain base area where the 129th Division operated from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area, and relied on the Zhengtai Railway to attack the anti-Japanese base areas.
On the front line, the defeat of the national army in the Battle of Zaoyi allowed the Japanese army to occupy Yichang and directly threaten Chongqing. In order to shake the will of the National Government, the Japanese aviation force further escalated its strategic bombing of the rear area since May 18. The Japanese army
The intensified economic blockade, military offensives and political inducement to surrender against China have made the war of resistance even more difficult. Especially due to the wavering of some people within the Kuomintang, the crisis of compromise and surrender is unprecedentedly serious.
On July 22, 1940, the Independent Regiment received a telegram from the division headquarters, which was a "Battle Preparation Order" issued by the Eighth Route Army Headquarters. The Eighth Route Army Headquarters decided to implement the mature idea of attacking the Zhengtai Railway and take the initiative to attack the Japanese transportation lines.
, dealt a powerful blow to the North China Front Army, supported the battle on the frontal battlefield, defeated the Japanese army's intentions, and improved the situation of the Anti-Japanese War across the country!
"Haha, I knew there would be a big move from the headquarters. It seems that my prediction was quite accurate!" Li Yunlong, head of the Independent Regiment, looked at the telegram sent by the division headquarters and looked excited.
"Yes, this time our 129th Division dispatched at least 8 regiments, the 120th Division dispatched 4 to 6 regiments, and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region dispatched 10 regiments, plus most of the artillery regiment from the headquarters, engineers, and counties in various regions
With the cooperation of the militiamen from the brigade area and the squad, this time it will definitely be enough for the Japanese to drink!" Zhao Gang also said with some excitement.
Kong Jie was speechless, but he kept his eyes fixed on the military map, probably already thinking about how to kill the Japanese!
