Chapter 22 Just in time for the war

Once they passed Jinpu Road, the new recruits and special forces were like fish in water. The mass base here was so good. If you find a village, guerrillas or county brigade personnel would come to pick them up. After another three days of itinerary, they safely arrived at the Wuqiang County brigade headquarters.

Here, they met the county independent regiment Xiao. When He Hongjun asked about Commander Lu and Political Commissar Wang, they learned that they had led their troops and went out to take revenge with the 120th Division.

When Captain He asked the reason, he learned that two months ago, the Logistics Department of the Hebei Central Military Region was attacked by the enemy and puppet, and more than 400 cadres and soldiers were sacrificed. So, the whole army united against the enemy and went out to fight, leaving only the independent regiments with no weapons to defend the rear.

Zhao Hu knew this very well, but he had no say now. The Hebei Central Military Region is now very rich, with more than 30 counties in base areas, and with sufficient food, it was like a big brother.

Of course, what everyone doesn’t know is how dark the result will be if the old Japanese in Danggang Village take advantage of everyone’s confidence and play a big sweep.

Some people think that it was because the Japanese army had a high degree of mechanization and used the endless plains after the autumn harvest to carry out the result, but Zhao Hu didn't think so at all. The Japanese mechanization was only at that level, and at most they could add some cavalry. The entire military region had developed rapidly for several years. Has it been discovered before?

Of course he didn't say these words, and no one believed them even if they said them, right? He couldn't see Commander Lu and Political Commissar Wang, so he had to leave a hand-drawn picture, and after saying goodbye in a hurry, he took a battalion and some supplies to the west.

On this side, Captain Xiao and Captain He worked hard for most of the day, counting the weapons and equipment into the warehouse before they had time to sit down and rest.

During the tea time, Commander Xiao accidentally touched his pocket and found out that it was a picture left by Commander Zhao before leaving. He happened to have nothing to do, so he opened it and participated in the discussion with Commander He.

Commander He was an old Red Army soldier. As soon as he saw the picture, he asked uncertainly: "Captain Xiao, is this an authentic picture? But the authentic picture is not so complicated. If you really do it like the picture, you will be exhausted to death?"

Commander Xiao did not reply, but looked at the various sizes and traps in the picture carefully. The more he looked, the more frightened he became. Finally, he took a few breaths of air conditioning and said, "Old He, you have been in the Jizhong Plain for a short time. I don't know the danger of fighting here. We usually have the protection of the green gauze tent. The Japanese have no choice but to deal with us, but once the autumn comes, the green gauze tent is cut, and there is a field everywhere. Only by connecting the cellars dug by fellow villagers and making it into a tunnel can you temporarily escape from danger when the Japanese enter the village. But I didn't expect that the tunnel can be dug like this. As shown in this picture, in the future, the tunnel can not only hide people, but also attack the Japanese army. It is both offensive and defensive. It's amazing, it's amazing!"

Lao He asked, "Then this picture?"

Commander Xiao rolled up the schematic diagram: "I have to report this important information to Commander Lu quickly. In the future, as long as our Hebei Central Military Region is as shown in the picture, the underground Great Wall will be dug out as shown in the picture. No matter how much the Japanese come, they will not be able to defeat our army. This is the most important information!"

He Hongjun grabbed the regiment commander Xiao who was about to run out: "Old Xiao, don't worry first. Even if this picture is handed over to the headquarters, it will take a long time to send it to us. Why don't we draw one or two copies first? When others take pictures, our regiments will be ahead for a long time..."

Captain Xiao suddenly was stunned, and then pointed at Lao He with a smile: "I said you old fox, you want to take the lead. If you can do it, let's draw two copies first, but I don't need to mention this confidentiality issue?"

Old He quickly patted his chest: "I, He Hongjun, climbed through the snow-capped mountains and walked through the grassland. I guaranteed it with my party spirit..."

"Okay, go find two pieces of paper first, let's draw them together. Others can't believe it, but I can't believe it?"

The two local regiment commanders were busy drawing pictures behind them. The special forces and the first battalion of recruits were also dealing with the dirt road and rain. On this day, it was like someone poked a big hole. There was no sun all day long, and the soldiers' clothes were not dry. They were either rain or sweat, and they fell all the same as those of mud monkeys. However, Zhao Hu also told everyone not to say hello to the local guerrillas, and they kept moving forward in seclusion. In the end, even the food was purchased by the special forces and fellow villagers on the road, so that they could satisfy their hunger.

There is a reason for Zhao Hu to do this. He knew that he must have stabbed the Japanese army this time. No one who is the commander of the Japanese army in North China would not care about ten thousand machine guns. You must know that a Japanese division has only so many weapons. If it is taken by the Turkish Eighth Route Army, it will arm more than a dozen regiments in minutes to fight them!

Zhao Hu thought he could return to the base quietly, but he happened to get the new recruits. Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Heavy rains lasted for several days, causing frequent floods on both sides of the Hutuo River. After the Lingshou, they had to turn north.

Unexpectedly, before we arrived in Dalonghua, the weather began to clear up. When we saw Section Chief Li, he was waiting for everyone anxiously.

Seeing Zhao Hu bringing so many weapons, Section Chief Li was shocked. The telegram from the Jidong Military Region just said that they had seized a large number of Japanese weapons and had not lost a single soldier. No one would have thought that it would be more than 10,000 pier machine guns!

Apart from the weapons left to the Central Hebei Military Region, more than 3,000 amphibious machine guns were brought to Jin, Cha, and Hebei. After seeing this, Section Chief Li, who was so anxious that his hair turned white for the Japanese winter offensive, immediately sent the news to Commander Nie. As a result, all the guns and ammunition were asked to be sent to the headquarters, and even the new recruit battalion was not spared.

Zhao Hu was very persuasive and detained more than 170 non-combat-reduced soldiers from Section Chief Li. These people were all the ones he had liked before. They were innocent, hardworking and simple, and worked hard on the road. They walked more and were all sick halfway. If Zhao Hu hadn't secretly used some medicines and herbal medicines to treat them, they might have fallen on the road.

Now, when Zhao Hu applied to Section Chief Li to go to the front line, he was asked by Lao Li to strictly recuperate, saying that Commander Nie was always angry with him, and said that after the battle, he came to teach him a lesson himself!

Zhao Hu had no choice but to touch his nose. It seemed that Commander Nie was really angry this time. If it weren't for more than 10,000 guns, he would have to sit in the confinement room.

He couldn't go to the battlefield or stay idle, so he led the special forces to train these hundreds or dozens of new recruits. Since he had taught a lot of knowledge on the road, these simple peasant children had a foundation in martial arts and learned very quickly.

The first-district arsenal was located not far from the main road. In addition, it was moved to another place secretly after a heavy rain. Zhao Hu was unable to work for the moment, so he naturally began to train troops.

More than 30 special forces team members taught new recruits with a foundation, and their combat effectiveness could be described as rapid progress. In addition, Zhao Hu asked everyone to practice live ammunition every day at any cost. After only one week, the shooting results of these new recruits were comparable to those of the old soldiers of several main groups in the first division.

Of course, they have not yet experienced actual combat, and their combat effectiveness on the battlefield can only be described as rookies. If a battle is fought, it can be said that they are passing the exam if they are not scared and can still shoot all the bullets according to the training standards.

If anyone says that the recruits are fighting accurately on the battlefield, it is a joke. There are bullets and bullets on their heads, and blood is pouring around them. If they don’t scare them, they are already the old man. They still hope to give you a hundred-step piercing poplar? That’s no different from dreaming!

However, this time it was rare to encounter a big battle. Zhao Hu said that he had to let these soldiers see the atmosphere on the battlefield, so as not to get out of trouble.

He did it as soon as he said, and that night he found Section Chief Li: "Old Li, look at our recruits' health has almost recovered. Can we let them go to the front line to do their best? Even if you lift the stretcher, it's good!"

Section Chief Li pondered for a moment, then said, "It is said that they have not had enough time to join the army and are far from being pulled on the battlefield, otherwise they will fall apart. But now our army is short of troops, and the logistics department is even short of people, so I will reluctantly help you apply. But don't think about going to the battlefield. Who made you a squad battalion? This is all under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Department of the Military Sub-district. I can't help much."

Zhao Hu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Whether it is carrying a stretcher or delivering ammunition, as long as you can hear the sound of gunfire and smell the smoke of gunfire, it will not be in vain. Please send a telegram as soon as possible. I will thank you for this group of new recruits!"

The next morning, Zhao Hu received an order from Section Chief Li: the recruits company planned the engineering battalion, led by Zhao Hu, and left Huangtuling to perform logistics tasks!

"Haha, as long as you can go to the battlefield, you will definitely get some meat and eat it. Comrades, hurry up and bring more ammunition and organize military affairs. Depart in twenty minutes and the troops will be released in Huangtuling!"
