Chapter 57: Return to Binh Duong

Today's weather is sunny and sunny, and the trees on both sides of the official road outside the north gate of Pingyang are already full of vibrant branches and leaves. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Guoren led the team to the north gate unhurriedly, and the cavalry reconnaissance company had already taken the lead in entering the city, surveying the city, and sending men within a radius of 100 miles to closely monitor any possible enemy.

Guo Xiaoliu, the commander of the reconnaissance company, and more than a dozen soldiers of the reconnaissance company were standing outside the city gate waiting at this moment, and behind them were thousands of Pingyang people who had heard the news.

Before Xu Guoren took the security team to leave, he opened a warehouse to release grain, which won the support and respect of all the people in Pingyang, and now they heard that Xu Guoren came back with the team, and they were all overjoyed, so they spontaneously helped the old and the young to rush to the north gate to welcome the heroes in their minds, and the good people came back.

When Guo Xiaoliu saw the arrival of the main force, he immediately grinned.

Soon, Xu Guoren rode his horse and stepped forward from the team.

Guo Xiaoliu hurriedly smiled, took the lead in saluting and said in his throat: "Salute!" ”

More than a dozen scouts followed suit and stood up to salute Xu Guoren.

They are also veterans of the security regiment, following Xu Guoren from birth to death, fighting so many victories, and witnessing the development and growth of the security regiment from scratch, so they are absolutely loyal and admired to Xu Guoren.

Therefore, everyone's eyes are full of respect and adoration.

Xu Guoren returned a military salute to them on his war horse, and said with a smile: "Brothers, you have worked hard. ”

"What's the matter with the people? Liuzi, did you inform the organization? Xu Guoren looked at the crowd of people behind them, and couldn't help frowning and asked, although he likes to be lively and pompous, but he still can't do things that cost the people and money, otherwise, wouldn't the previous hard work be in vain?

Guo Xiaoliu looked aggrieved, and just wanted to step forward to explain, a white-haired old man walked forward tremblingly on crutches, and beckoned to Xu Guoren with a smile: "Mr. Xu, don't blame this chief, it's our people who came spontaneously. ”

Xu Guoren recognized that the old man was the white-haired old man who took the lead in keeping him when he opened a warehouse to release grain and was about to leave.

Seeing that thousands of people behind the scouts were looking at him eagerly, Xu Guoren hurriedly turned over and dismounted, walked to the old man and said, "Uncle, why do you bother, let everyone mobilize the people, Xu is deeply uneasy." ”

The old man hurriedly said: "Hey, Mr. Xu, your words are serious, I learned that you and the security team are coming back, the villagers are very happy, and they voluntarily come to welcome you and the troops into the city, you don't have to feel guilty!" ”

"Yes, Mr. Xu, you are a big hero in the eyes of our people in Pingyang, and we are willing to support you!" Another middle-aged man in his fifties also stepped forward, his face full of excitement.

"The big hero Xu doesn't dare to be it, but since the villagers are here today, Xu also made a promise to everyone that as long as I am here, I will ensure that Pingyang's father and elder will not be bullied by anyone!" Xu Guoren said proudly.

"Pingyang has Mr. Xu, you are really a blessing to the people!" The white-haired old man was moved, and praised loudly in a slightly old voice.

"Our department is about to be reorganized into the commander of the 88th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army, and everyone will call me Brigade Commander Xu in the future, don't call me the boss." Xu Guoren always felt a little weird to be called the boss, as if during the anti-Japanese period, the traitors and puppet soldiers were called so by some Shunmin.

The common people couldn't tell the difference between the regiment commander and the brigade commander, as long as Xu Guoren was happy, they could call him whatever he wanted, so they all called Brigade Commander Xu in unison.

This made Xu Guoren not yet become a brigade commander, so he passed the addiction of a brigade commander, exchanged greetings with the people, and appeased some excited people, Xu Guoren led the team into the long-lost Pingyang City.

After entering the county seat, Xu Guoren found that the military camp he had built had already been burned down by the Jin Sui army, which had been withdrawn, and it was said that if the people had not put out the fire in time, I am afraid that the fire would have affected the entire Pingyang.

Xu Guoren stood in front of the ruins of the military camp in the south of the city, pointed to the military camp that was burned to ruins, and turned his head to Guo Shiyin behind him and ordered: "Write it down, go back to Shaoshuai Zhang for reimbursement!" ”

Guo Shiyin smiled and said: "This also needs to be compensated by the Northeast Army!" ”

Xu Guoren said with a serious face: "Of course, otherwise it would be so easy to co-opt Lao Tzu?" Besides, this army will be expanded soon, so we will have to build a barracks! ”

Guo Shiyin shook his head lightly, helpless against Xu Guoren's rogue ruffian, but still wrote it down.

Three days later, the security corps resettled in Binh Duong. Xu Guoren sent someone to Guojiabao and picked up Guo Hu, Guo Danian's relatives, and Guo Papi and others.

Now that everything is going around, it's time to reunite their relatives, and treat his brothers and women Xu Guoren can't be too selfish, right?

After settling down the troops and meeting his relatives, Xu Guoren took Guo Hu and them and began to get busy again.

Although at present, the Northeast Army's promised food, military salaries, weapons and ammunition, and even various daily necessities have not yet been fulfilled. Xu Guoren also decided to start recruiting new recruits immediately, because after the last raid and the recent victories in the battle, Xu Guoren was able to arm at least three security regiments with only the booty in his hands.

If you don't expand now, when? In layman's terms, being rich is capricious!

In these years, when we seize the opportunity, we have to expand, because only when there are enough guns, the weight of speech is heavy, and the safety is guaranteed.

Because of Xu Guoren's good reputation in Pingyang, as soon as the news of the large-scale recruitment of recruits by the security regiment was released, it immediately aroused enthusiastic responses from the people within a radius of hundreds of miles, and even under the rule of other counties, there were a steady stream of young people who came to Pingyang to sign up for the army.

After formulating a plan for recruiting troops, Xu Guoren asked Guo Hu and Guo Danian to carry it out, and this time Xu Guoren wanted to recruit at least 2,000 people and expand the army to three regiments.

Xu Guoren took Niu Dagen to the prison of the former county police station, where nearly 1,000 Zhou Shibin were imprisoned, and the Jin Suijun and the Northwest Army were captured.

Although Yu Xuezhong mentioned in a later telegram that Xu Guoren wanted to release Zhou Shibin and the soldiers under his command, Xu Guoren didn't want to do it completely, it didn't matter if Zhou Shibin wanted it or not, the hundreds of soldiers under his command were basically veterans of a hundred battles, and if they could be successfully recruited, it would be much better than recruiting new recruits to retrain.

Therefore, Xu Guoren came over in person.

Zhou Shibin's injuries have been stabilized under Chen Zhiyuan's full treatment.

In order to prevent accidents, Xu Guoren was separated from other soldiers of the Northwest Army and held him in solitary confinement.

Seeing Xu Guoren's arrival, Zhou Shibin, who was originally sitting on the bed to rest, turned around and slept directly facing the wall, and didn't even give Xu Guoren a straight face.

"Are you a boy who owes a beating? Our brigade commander is here, and you dare not see it. Niu Dagen pointed at him with some displeasure and scolded.

Zhou Shibin was taken aback, and glanced back at Xu Guoren: "Brigade commander? ”

Xu Guoren sorted out his military uniform very calmly, and said proudly: "That's right, Xu has now been officially awarded the rank of colonel in the army, and the department has also been reorganized into the 88th Independent Brigade of the Army, how about it, Commander Zhou, are you interested in joining my 88th Brigade?" ”

Zhou Shibin thought that Xu Guoren's success was based on defeating himself, and he suddenly became angry and said, "Then you can kill me." ”

"Yo, it's quite backbone!" Xu Guoren was in a good mood today, and his solicitation for him was only successful if it could be successful, and if it didn't work, he didn't get angry, and said: "Commander Zhou, you and I are both Chinese soldiers, in the final analysis, the battle between us is like two brothers fighting.

It's not a life-and-death battle with foreign races, so you don't need to take it too seriously, you are a person with backbone, what I admire most in my life is a kind of man, I hope that the next time we meet again, not again, but to join forces with the outside world to resist foreign humiliation! ”

After speaking, Xu Guoren waved his hand and said generously: "Come on, open the door to Captain Zhou and send him out of the city!" ”
