With the needs of the struggle and the continuous growth of the base areas, the anti-Japanese armed forces of the Eighth Route Army are also constantly growing, not counting the militia-style anti-Japanese armed forces of those local district squads and county brigades.

The regiment-level scale alone is already hundreds, but although the number is large, the actual combat effectiveness is uneven, the personnel of the troops range from hundreds to thousands, not to mention the equipment, and the broadsword and spear are almost becoming standard weapons, otherwise how can they be called the Eight Roads by the devils.

In view of this situation of chaotic establishment and different quality of personnel and equipment, the Eighth Route Army began to carry out one after another retraining of the troops in various base areas.

The independent brigade is the first unit to complete the whole training, and this kind of training can be regarded as a kind of thorough investigation, after all, the troops that have completed the whole training have a standard personnel and firepower allocation.

This kind of regiment with a standard number of personnel and equipment is called a basic regiment or a local infantry regiment, and in order to distinguish it from the existing regiments of this type, two new words have been added.

The topic is a bit far away, the soldier has a resolute character, an iron will, and conversely, it is a clear distinction between love and hate, and the axis is compared.

And the new regiment was mainly formed from two units of the same origin, the independent regiment and the Xinqing detachment, which should have been a good thing.

However, things are often so strange, these two units are not only not close, but have a long-standing grudge, if they do not like each other, they can arouse fighting spirit and competition, and if they have goals and opponents, they can also improve cohesion and combat effectiveness, and play a positive role.

The problem is that if it's not merged now, troublesome things will come, and this kind of mutual disagreement is not a good thing, which will become a kind of internal friction.

The first battalion and the second battalion of the new regiment were fine, they were composed of officers and men of the independent regiment and the Xinqing detachment respectively, but the third battalion was different, consisting mainly of surplus personnel from these two units, plus guerrillas drawn from the localities.

This battalion is a bit complicated, although there is no real grudge between the soldiers, but if it is not handled well, it will also hurt morale and fighting spirit.

Therefore, this battalion commander is a bit difficult to give birth, if it comes from one side, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction on the other side, and it is not okay to transfer a cadre abroad.

The same will make it difficult for foreign cadres to do, how can he carry out his work? Standing on one side will inevitably cause dissatisfaction on the other side, neutrality is even more terrible, both sides are dissatisfied, that is really not people inside and outside.

Of course, this is not impossible to solve, just send an old cadre to ensure that they are suppressed, but the army wants a group of howling and unruly wolves, not a group of sheep like good grandsons.

Outsiders can only exacerbate the contradictions, and suppression is equally undesirable, so Zhang Yunfei became the only candidate at this time, he has the background of both the independent regiment and the Xinqing detachment, and his actions and decisions will not be understood as being on one side or the other.

And he is a rare general, so he was naturally targeted by the new group, so he became the best choice to clean up this mess.

The predecessor of his Xinqing detachment, which was also a hodgepodge, was not brought out by him.

Since they have a request for themselves, Zhang Yunfei naturally made a request unceremoniously, but he didn't know what it was to be reserved.

It's impossible to think about materials and equipment, and you can only ask for manpower when you think about it.

Of course, people are also knowledgeable, you can't really get an inch, you have to grasp the proportion, the leader thinks that you are all for the work, is to actively solve the problem, if it is over, it is a lion's mouth, pure nonsense.

So Zhang Yunfei only needed four people, Huzi, Tiedan, Li Da Tobacco Bag and Li Ergou.

Gu Political Commissar smiled and said that his specifications are really high enough, the head of a regiment can bring at most one or two guards or something, good guy, you are really ruthless, you directly dug the corner of your old army, and also dug away four generals at once, which is enough for the three battalions to be painful.

Zhang Yunfei sweated profusely, if these four people really want to be counted as talented generals, they will be Li Da cigarette pouches, and the others are really not counted, and the fact is that the third battalion was happily released.

When Zhang Yunfei selected people, he really didn't start from the aspect of talents, but because they had flaws in their personalities, they were not at ease with them, so it was better to take them away.

Huzi is nothing, this guy is actually very adaptable, of course, his real heart is actually quite sensitive, afraid of being abandoned, he is used to following himself, so let him continue to follow himself.

Needless to say, Li Ergou is like that, and he can look at him objectively, people in this era are too pure, either white or black.

In the eyes of many political cadres, he is the number one suspect of the traitor and spy, in case he commits something or some incident involves him, and he can't get rid of the suspicion, he can basically be determined to be him, who called him a bad guy by nature.

There is also Li Da Cigarette Bag, this guy is a talent, but his character and negative attitude, not many people can stand it, Zhang Yunfei is afraid that he will be buried under other people's hands.

As for the last iron egg, although the gossip is quite annoying, but his personality is not bad, barely unlikable and unpleasant, bringing him is considered a work need and a little selfishness.

The personnel of the third battalion of the new regiment are complex, and there is just a place for him, a gossip man, and in Zhang Yunfei's heart, he has always thought that he is familiar with history and is relatively safe by his side.

Of course, this is just his own self-feeling, and Li Ergou has something to say about it.

"When are you leaving?" Zhao Min asked when he saw Zhang Yunfei packing his bags.

"Tomorrow." Zhang Yunfei replied.

"Let's wait a day."

"Why?" Zhang Yunfei asked in astonishment.

"Spend a holiday with me."

"Holidays? What's the holiday? Zhang Yunfei was stunned.

A woman, and a beautiful woman, said that she wants you to accompany her for the holiday, what kind of holiday can it be, Valentine's Day? Thinking of this, Zhang Yunfei's heart beat half a beat faster.

"Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, you don't know."

"Well, I really didn't pay attention, it turned out to be the New Year." Zhang Yunfei suddenly, there seemed to be a trace of loss in his heart, although Zhao Min studied Western medicine, he didn't know how to learn from foreign devils, and people in this era didn't have any foreign festivals.

Recently, I've been injured and lived too much comfortably, and even my thoughts have begun to grow hair, and I'm always floating inexplicably.

"That Doctor Zhao, I think my back still feels a little faint pain, do you see if you can help me check again, is there any shrapnel left inside, you haven't cleaned up, maybe you won't be able to get out of the hospital tomorrow."

Zhao Min: "......"

What a bad excuse this is, and dare to question the old lady's medical skills, why don't you want to live.

"Your wound is not good yet, it should be pulled by the activity, don't worry, it's not a big deal." Zhao Min is serious and very professional.

Zhang Yunfei: "......"
