Chapter 462: The new designation of the rebel forces: Baogushan Independent Battalion
“The reason why there are so many light and heavy machine guns and bullets in the Dawang Town stronghold is because of this.
This is mainly because Dawang Town is an important economic and military town.
If it were not for the terrain restrictions that prevented it from expanding outward, it would have been changed from a town to a county long ago.
Therefore, in order to effectively control Dawang Town.
The first group of Japanese soldiers to station here were a large group of Japanese soldiers.
It's just that in the past year or so, the Japanese have taken advantage of this road.
They continued to divide and encroach upon the base areas of our Eighth Route Army.
Therefore, the Japanese soldiers stationed in Dawang Town were constantly being dispatched.
Many new strongholds based on watchtowers were built on both sides of the highway.
As a result, there is only the last infantry squadron of Japanese soldiers stationed in Dawang Town.
However, this Dawang Town is still a supply point for weapons and ammunition in the nearby Japanese strongholds.
That’s why you can see here that we have seized so many light and heavy weapons and ammunition.”
Since this is a weapons and ammunition supply point for a Japanese battalion.
Then it makes sense that so much preparation has been made.
The two captains, Chen and Yu, then continued to look at the list of seized items.
One thousand Japanese Type 97 grenades, thirty grenade launchers, and one thousand special grenades.
This time, after the battle to capture the town, they did not seize the Type 92 infantry gun.
Because the Eighth Route Army troops near the highway were all outside their defense circle.
As a garrison force in a relatively safe situation, their battalion's Type 92 infantry artillery was transferred to the field troops for use.
Therefore, the number of Type 82 mortars captured was a little less, only twelve.
The shells were OK, there were more than 400 of them. This number made the two regiment leaders' eyes light up.
They fought a siege all night and their artillery ammunition reserves were almost exhausted.
Although the comrades from the guerrilla division said that you can use the ammunition as you like, the logistics department of the Eighth Route Army headquarters will help you replenish it when the time comes.
If there is really no time to replenish ammunition, you can also ask their guerrilla division for help.
You can get it from their logistics department and use it first, and you don’t have to return it.
But that is like distant water that cannot quench immediate thirst, and it is not as convenient as replenishing it directly now.
These two regiment commanders also wanted to divide the Imperial Army in Dawang Town.
These imperial army soldiers all revolted on the battlefield, so their awareness is not low.
They also took the initiative to lead the Eighth Route Army to the town to kill the Japanese.
It is impossible to go back and join the Japanese army again.
I guess even if they surrendered, they would be tortured and then shot on the spot.
So we just need to bring them back to the base and give them a little education.
At that time, we could have pulled out a brand new main company of the Eighth Route Army.
However, Captain Mu did not agree to their request, because the current King Zhenhuang Army has the same surname as him, Mu.
Now Captain Wang has given them a new designation: "Eighth Route Army Baogushan Military Sub-district Independent Battalion", but they can no longer go to any other unit.
"Ugh!"
The two group leaders, Chen and Yu, sighed deeply, and they both rubbed their wrists and sighed.
Captain Wang never draws a salary for his troops without working them, and his troops are always fully equipped and staffed.
That was a battalion of 400 men, and it just fell into the hands of Captain Mu!
Now Captain Wang has returned to his home in Dawang Town.
As soon as he returned home, the clan elders ordered him to kneel in the ancestral hall in pain and joy.
He was whipped twenty times by the elders in his family.
Only then was the reformed Captain Wang included back into the family tree.
This action made Captain Wang, who was still kneeling, sweat profusely.
He himself didn't know when his family had removed his name from the family tree.
Fortunately, he led his men to revolt on the battlefield today and became a Chinese soldier again.
The elders in the family were so happy about his change that they cried, and even reopened the ancestral hall to accept him once again.
Captain Wang raised his knife and cut his finger, vowing never to work for the Japanese again.
Only then was he helped up by his family, who gave him a long-lost sincere smile.
There are many traitors involved in business in Dawang Town, and they store cloth, grain, and salt in their warehouses.
Because the bases of the two commanders, Chen and Yu, are not close to here.
They left after distributing the weapons and ammunition, and they didn't ask for much other supplies.
But Captain Mu was still too polite and gave them many of the carts in the town.
At the same time, a lot of supplies were placed in the car.
Finally, they were very enthusiastically sent out of Dawang Town.
Seeing Captain Mu, who has always been unwilling to do anything without benefits, being so generous now, I admire him even more.
We all feel that in the year since we last met, Lao Mu has made a lot of progress.
I used to have some doubts about Captain Mu, thinking that he was trying to drive me away, but now I have no doubts at all.
As soon as they left the Dawang Town stronghold, Captain Mu closed the gate. The other captains praised him for his high vigilance.
The two regiment commanders, Chen and Yu, soon separated. They escorted the supplies and retreated to their respective bases.
They had walked more than ten miles when a telegram from the military sub-district arrived.
The raid in Shanxi was so fierce that the Japanese were frightened and had to guard their gates tightly, not daring to come out to rescue for the time being.
After they set out on guard, they can establish their own revolutionary regime in the devil's stronghold.
The two team leaders suddenly realized that Team Leader Mu was still the same as always, not willing to do anything without profit.
He really just chased me away!
They were worried that Captain Mu would give all the trucks to them.
How he moved a large amount of supplies back to the Baogushan base by himself.
It turned out that this old comrade had received the news in advance and had no intention of withdrawing back to the base.
The reason why we closed the gate of the stronghold in a hurry just now was not to prevent the Japanese from launching a sneak attack, but to prevent the two of them from coming back to settle the score.
Captain Chu came over and asked, "Captain, your old comrade is too much, why don't we go back and get some supplies?"
Captain Yu said with a smile: "Forget it, these materials were obtained for free, so we are not losing out anyway.
Don't even think about going back to ask for an explanation. Don't disbelieve it, you can't even enter the gate of Dawang Town.
I can guess their reasons. If they want to open the door, they must have the order from their leader.
If you ask them about their leader, they will say that Lao Mu has returned to the base and they don’t know when he will be back.”
As expected of Captain Mu’s old comrades, their guess was correct. This was how Captain Mu arranged it with the sentinels.
After seeing off his two old comrades, Captain Mu immediately returned to the headquarters.
They will definitely not leave recently because there are a lot of work to be arranged.
Some materials must be moved back to the base as soon as possible, and all the business of die-hard traitors must be confiscated.
Those businessmen who waver from side to side need to be given a break.
Apart from necessary punishments, all their businesses and supplies were returned.
Of course, you can also donate the supplies to the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians.
It can also be sold to the base government. The Baogushan base is no longer short of money.
If the base's economy is to prosper, the sources of intelligence must be abundant.
We also need these businessmen to support the base secretly.
As soon as he entered the meeting room, Captain Feng shouted, "Captain Mu, you gave all the trucks to them.
Our troops will retreat soon, so how can we send supplies back to the base?"
