Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

Thousands of officers and soldiers with combat experience.

Moreover, these people did not surrender even after being captured by the enemy.

If they could come to the Jirecha Military Region, they would immediately bring in a large number of veterans who had fought in the war, as well as many grassroots cadres. But there was only one question: was what they said true?

It would take the Eighth Route Army at least half a year to identify these cadres.

Can we trust them and use them directly?

No one can guarantee it.

Wei Hongjun was also in a dilemma. This wasn't some game; it was explained by the saying, "If you doubt someone, don't employ him; if you doubt him, don't doubt him." Many people in later generations, watching the TV series, felt that the Eighth Route Army's investigation of those cadres found to have problems was truly inhumane.

How can you treat people who escaped like this?

But these are lessons learned through bloodshed. A single moment of negligence could bring immense danger to the troops and the base. There were even instances in history where traitors were released and attempted to assassinate the Chairman.

So this is an iron rule.

I cannot accept the organization's review and I cannot accept this kind of "grievance"

It is impossible for them to stay in the revolutionary ranks for a long time.

But this time it is indeed a good opportunity.

Wei Hongjun thought about it and decided it was worth the risk. If successful, there would be a lot of good things to gain. So Wei Hongjun made up his mind and said, "Let's take a gamble. If successful, it will be of great benefit to our Jirecha Military Region. A few thousand veterans can easily form two regiments. Our newly established Special Agents Regiment 5 and 6 need training. If we can have a few thousand veterans, not to mention the current Special Agents Regiment 5 and 6, even forming the Special Agents Regiment 7 and 8 will not be a problem. We will have more than enough grassroots cadres."

"Political Commissar, if something goes wrong, it won't be a small matter."

"I take responsibility."

Having made up his mind, Wei Hongjun did not shirk his responsibility.

How can we develop if we are afraid of tigers in front and wolves behind?

When it's time to take a risk, you have to take it. Wei Hongjun weighed it. If this was a trap, there would indeed be some problems, and Wei Hongjun would even be criticized or even punished.

Of course, in the worst case scenario, you may have to sit on the bench for a few years.

But once you succeed, the rewards are plentiful.

After all, they rescued so many people. Furthermore, the Eighth Route Army's capture of Chaoyang and Fuxin was also a form of propaganda. It told the people of Northeast China that the Eighth Route Army had arrived. It didn't matter if you didn't recognize the Eighth Route Army; you just had to recognize it from now on.

As long as we have influence, it will be much easier to develop in the Northeast in the future.

So Wei Hongjun was willing to take a risk.

Wang Qiuyun nodded and said, "Old Wei is right. At this point, we can definitely take a gamble. The chances of success are still very high. Let's cause a big commotion in Chaoyang and Fuxin as a way of celebrating the arrival of 1943 in advance. However, we must choose the leader of this unit carefully. We must choose a commander who is both brave and resourceful."

"How is Comrade Li Wanfu, Deputy Commander of the Eighth Brigade?"

Wei Hongjun proposed the candidate.

He said: "Comrade Li Wanfu is from the Northeast and has served in the Northeast Army for many years. He is quite familiar with the situation in the Northeast.

The Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region has no shortage of former Northeast Army officers.

Besides Li Wanfu, Song Zhiyuan, the commander of the 35th Regiment, was also an officer from the Northeast Army. Among the battalion-level officers, there were also many grassroots officers from the Northeast Army. However, Li Wanfu was the most suitable person to lead this attack.

Wang Qiuyun nodded and said, "Li Wanfu is fine."

Li Wanfu was one of the earliest members of the base area. Shortly after Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun established the Shengxian Guerrilla Army in Shengxian, Li Wanfu joined the Caoyangzhuang Guerrilla Unit. He subsequently served as the commander of the 16st Battalion, then the th Regiment, and currently serves as the deputy commander and chief of staff of the th Brigade.

Since joining the Eighth Route Army, he has been working hard and without complaint.

Whether it was the 16st Battalion or the later th Regiment, he was present in all the tough battles of the column.

Xu Luomin also supported it, saying, "He's from Northeast China, and he's indeed the most suitable candidate."

Han Weiguo did not object.

Because Li Wanfu joined the Party soon after joining the Eighth Route Army, and he has performed very well in the army over the years.

"I propose drawing troops from the 16th Regiment. Li Wanfu had previously served as its commander and was familiar with its operations. I have Li Wanfu dispatch a reinforced company from each of the 16st, 16nd, and 16rd Battalions of the th Regiment to participate in the assault. Equip them with the submachine guns we captured in Zhangjiakou.

The 700th Column captured Zhangjiakou at that time and seized submachine guns.

However, there are many restrictions on the use of submachine guns.

The Jin-made submachine gun, in particular, had many problems, so it was never deployed to the troops. However, one thing no one could deny was that the submachine gun was extremely powerful at short range.

This advantage is unmatched by anyone.

So Wang Qiuyun planned to equip the troops with some submachine guns.

"can."

"support."

For the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region, the 16th Regiment has always been a first-class regiment.

For such a difficult task, the first thing that comes to mind is always the 16th Regiment. Three reinforced companies were drawn from the 16th Regiment, which already had a large number of people.

“My idea is that we should temporarily form an eastward detachment.

Comrade Li Wanfu served as commander of the Eastward Detachment, Sun Jiahe, commander of the 16th Regiment, served as deputy commander, and Sha Xuewen, director of the Political Department of the th Brigade, served as political commissar. Sha Xuewen himself was also from Northeast China and had previously participated in the Northeast Volunteer Army.

"it is good."

"support."

The Party Committee of the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region finally decided to establish the Eastward Detachment.

Although I have made the decision, I am still worried.

After all, this is crossing the mountains and entering Chaoyang and Fuxin. Although Chaoyang and Fuxin are currently under the jurisdiction of Rehe, in fact, entering Chaoyang and Rehe is already entering the Northeast.

Yan Rui stood in the front.

Although he had recuperated for a few days, Yan Rui's health was still relatively poor.

But he is not afraid.

Yan Rui was deeply moved to hear that the Yirecha Military Region had listened to his advice. He had never expected that the leaders of the Yirecha Military Region would trust him without hesitation, even though he was still under investigation.

Not only did he listen to his opinions, but he also asked him to serve as a guide for this troop.

Three reinforced companies, a force of more than 800 people.

In the night, they followed Yan Rui and began their journey into the Northeast.

“Hopefully they will be successful.”

Chapter 506: Raid on Fuxin

The temperature in Northeast China in November is very low.

Especially at night.

Many parts of Northeast China were already snowing by this time, with some mountains even heavily covered in snow. The Eastward Detachment traveled the mountain roads, eating only dry rations. If there was anything edible in the mountains, they would dig some during the day.

The troops hid during the day and moved at night.

After crossing the mountains, they entered Chaoyang. In Chaoyang, they split up their forces, and part of them followed Yan Rui to Fuxin.

Came to Xinqiu Coal Mine in Fuxin.

"is it here?

"Yes."

Sun Jiahe was also amazed when he looked at the Xinqiu Coal Mine.

The coal mines here are really big.

Sun Jiahe had seen coal mines before; he had captured several during the Chahar Campaign. But he had never seen a mine this large. It was significantly larger than the one in Xiahuayuan. And after arriving here, Sun Jiahe felt relieved. Before setting off, Wei Hongjun had explained the situation to Li Wanfu, Sun Jiahe, and Sha Xuewen.

This battle shouldn't be a trap.

But there is also a slight possibility that Yan Rui is a traitor.

So they were told to pay close attention to Yan Rui's actions. If he did anything unlawful, they would immediately stop him. However, having come this far, such suspicions had been basically ruled out.

"Captain Sun, those barbed wire fences over there are electrified. When we rioted, we thought they were just the barbed wire fences in front of the former Japanese fort, so we planned to cut them down quietly. We didn't expect the barbed wire fences to be electrified, which is why the mining area security team discovered them. Otherwise, more than 200 of us would have been able to escape."

"power ups?"

"Yes."

"Damn you devil traitor."

Sun Jiahe couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll send someone to cut the surrounding wires so there's no electricity here. Can you tell me where the mining area security team is?"

"That's the guard's dormitory over there. They rest there at night, and some are on duty. But they don't do their duty very well. They say they're on duty, but few actually do. Otherwise, we wouldn't have found the opportunity to riot. If the barbed wire hadn't been electrified and we hadn't noticed, we would never have alerted the guards."

"How many people are in the security team?"

"The Xinqiu Mining District Security Force has about two hundred people. But there's a police station not far from here, about three miles away. That police station manages several surrounding police stations and has about four hundred officers."

Yan Rui told Sun Jiahe everything he knew.

Sun Jiahe looked at the terrain of the mine, then at the location of the guard's dormitory and their duty station. This time, he led a reinforced company of 280 troops to attack Fuxin.

There were few of them, so he was very cautious.

"Take a squad and take down their guard room. Then look for the gate that connects the wire fence to the power supply. If you find it, shut it down. If you can't find it, look for the surrounding wires and cut them."

"Yes."

"Comrade Yan Rui, take us to the dormitory of the mining area security team.

Everyone, listen to my orders. No one is allowed to shoot after entering. If they resist, they will be killed with bayonets. If we open fire and alert the police station not far away, our operation will be completely failed. Do you understand? "

"clear."

Sun Jiahe led the main force straight to the mining area security team dormitory.

It has really been a long time of peace.

Fuxin hasn't seen war in a long time. The police there participated in the suppression of the Anti-Japanese United Army in the early years, but there haven't been any anti-Japanese armed forces operating here for four or five years. When they arrest so-called anti-Japanese elements, they're usually arresting civilians to earn merit. The truth is, anti-Japanese forces haven't been seen in this area for years.

Over the years, the locals have gradually become accustomed to their current lives. Although they are very dissatisfied with the Japanese and puppet troops, without a leader, they dare not resist them. Humans are truly highly adaptable. In the years after the September 50th Incident, the volunteer army in Northeast China was surging, with a peak of volunteer troops. They even organized troops to attack Changchun, Harbin, and Qiqihar.

Although they failed each time and suffered heavy casualties, they were able to regroup after being disbanded. The Kwantung Army's strength expanded rapidly at that time, thanks to the successive Northeast Volunteer Army movements.

After the defeat of the Volunteer Army, the remaining tens of thousands of troops became the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces under King Jing. Unfortunately, more than ten years had passed since the September 18th Incident, and everyone had gradually become numb and adapted. As a result, no anti-Japanese forces emerged in this area for many years.

There wasn't even any underground party activity.
