A few days later, Liu Yizhang officially became the commander of the 535th Regiment, becoming the youngest commander of the 77th Army. Liu Yizhang and Liu Yan rode back to Maxiling from Xinfengli, and Li Wenzhong led the cadres above the company level to welcome them.

"Welcome back to the team!" Liu Xingzhang took the lead in chanting, and many soldiers also gathered around after inquiry, and shouted together, "Welcome Commander Liu back to the team!" No one called the third brother anymore.

Liu Yizhang smiled at Li Wenzhong, and then waved to the soldiers frequently, the soldiers gathered more and more, and ran out of the barracks, some of the clothes did not have time to put on, and they ran out with their shoes on their feet, and surrounded Liu Yizhang three layers inside and three layers outside, and did not see Liu Yizhang for a few days, the soldiers missed it beyond words, he used to be a temporary commander of Liu, and now he is the head of the veritable 535th Regiment, and the soldiers support it from the bottom of their hearts, Li Wenzhong said to Liu Yizhang with a smile, "Commander Liu, tell the soldiers a few words, Otherwise, you won't be able to break out of the 'encirclement'. ”

Liu Yizhang nodded, he took the war horse from Liu Xingzhang's hand, patted the horse's face gently, jumped on the horse's back, and then stood up steadily, the soldiers let out thunderous applause and cheers, Liu Xingzhang and Liu Huizhang stood on both sides of the horse, and held the stirrups tightly with both hands to prevent the war horse from suddenly moving.

Liu Yizhang pressed his hand to the soldiers, and said improvistically, "Comrades, comrades-in-arms, I am very happy to continue to stay in the 535th Regiment to train and fight with you, the just concluded Seed Mountain Resistance Battle, I have formed a deep revolutionary friendship with everyone, this kind of comradeship is deeper and heavier than my own brothers, I will always remember the glorious years when we fought together in Seed Mountain, and I will cherish the moment every minute and every second, the military department sent me to the 535th Regiment as the regiment commander, I feel the supreme honor, and I also feel a great responsibility, I will work with Political Commissar Li Wenzhong to lead everyone in the common struggle to build the 535th Regiment into an invincible iron army, ready to go to the battlefield at any time, and make new contributions to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and defend the country. ”

"The 535 team is invincible!"

"Resist US aggression and aid Korea, protect the home and defend the country!"

The unanimous slogans of the fighters resounded in the sky.

Liu Yizhang solemnly said to Li Wenzhong, "Political Commissar Li, let's have a small meeting with the members of the Youth League team to arrange the current work, what do you think?" ”

Li Wenzhong looked around and responded, "Okay, everyone happens to be here, now let's go to the regiment headquarters for a meeting." ”

Liu Xingzhang grabbed Liu Yizhang's arm and asked anxiously, "Third brother, the martial arts special team has been changed to a special service company, I am the company commander, what should I do with the badge?" Why is there no position on the paper? Before Liu Yizhang could answer, Li Wenzhong became angry and asked loudly, "Liu Xingzhang, what did you just call the head of the regiment?" ”

Liu Xingzhang immediately changed his words with a smile, "Head Liu, what should I do with the badge?" ”

Li Wenzhong didn't give up, he still didn't let Liu Yizhang speak, so he reprimanded Liu Xingzhang sharply, "Liu Xingzhang, you don't give me a hippie smile, stand upright!" ”

Liu Xingzhang saw that Li Wenzhong was really angry, and it didn't look like a joke, so he hurriedly stood upright and waited for Li Wenzhong's lecture.

"Liu Xingzhang, you listen to me, this is a military camp, not your hometown Shuangliu Village, there is no third brother for you here, only the commander of the 535th Regiment, in this regard, I especially told you and Liu Badge, ordinary soldiers can do the order and prohibition, as the commander of the spy company, why can't you do it? You think that if you call the third brother of the regiment commander, it means that you are close to the regiment commander, right? Do you know? By doing so, you're pushing the regimental commander into the fire pit! Punish you for one day of confinement, and next time you commit three days of confinement! ”

It was the first time Liu Yizhang saw Li Wenzhong making such a big fuss, it seemed that Wu Xiangsen had given him a strict explanation, he glared at Liu Xingzhang fiercely, and scolded, "Brainless thing, I've been a soldier for more than half a year, and I still don't know that the order prohibits?" ”

Liu Xingzhang regretted it in his heart, Qiu Wei and Li Wenzhong have repeatedly emphasized this matter to him in the past few days, and he also realized the seriousness of the problem, but the third brother, who had been shouting for more than ten years, pouted baldly without paying attention.

Liu Huizhang didn't face him this time, he poked Liu Xingzhang's head with his finger and said, "Xingzhang, what are you asking me to say about you?" You are the emperor and the eunuch is not in a hurry, I don't care about my position, what kind of heart do you? The regiment commander and political commissar are really angry this time, you deserve to be locked up and confined so that you can have a long memory, if you don't get rid of this self-righteous problem, you won't be able to stay in the 535th regiment! Liu Xingzhang was so frightened that tears were about to flow out, and he begged Liu Huizhang to intercede for himself in front of the third brother.

Walking into the regiment headquarters, Liu Yizhang said to Li Wenzhong with a smile, "Political Commissar Li, you are really good, it is rare for you, a Confucian general, to be able to make such a big fire, Xingzhang is a difficult to return, calling my third brother for so many years, you let him be reborn at once It is indeed a little difficult for him." ”

"Commander Liu, you can't let that kid Liu Xingzhang hear this, I also know that he didn't mean to, but overkill sometimes has to be corrected, do you know what I ask of the soldiers? The first offense was confined for one day, the second offense was confined for three days, and the third offense automatically left the 535th Regiment. Yizhang, this is a political task, because in Seed Mountain, everyone is used to calling your third brother, and it is difficult to eradicate if you are not strict, this is like curing a disease, and you don't have to worry about it, I and Director Liu of the Political Department will do a good job. ”

Liu Yan heard someone call himself director for the first time, and his heart was very useful, he knew that he could even be promoted to three levels thanks to his good brother Liu Yizhang, in the past few days in the military department, Liu Yizhang was busy being asked by Wu Xiangsen, Wang Shiguang, Zhou Zhengkang, Zhang Qingyun and other leaders to talk, he was busy writing the report materials of the Muluyuan Resistance Battle, and Liu Yizhang had no time to communicate, when he saw the cadre appointment documents of the 535th Regiment, he was taken aback, he thought that Wu Xiangsen was likely to transfer himself to Liu Yizhang's side after the Seed Mountain Resistance Battle, I didn't expect that I jumped directly from the company level to the deputy regiment level, not to mention the promotion of three levels, the key is to serve as the director of the political department, the original director of the political department was transferred to the 408th regiment, I thought that Wu Xiangsen's trick was very clever, let himself be the political chief of the 535th regiment, and achieved the most powerful political protection for Liu Yizhang in terms of personnel, Liu Yizhang did not disclose a word of relevant information to himself, obviously he already knew it.

"Regiment Commander Liu, don't worry, I will fully cooperate with Political Commissar Li to do a good job in the political work of the whole regiment, the cadres at the regimental level have been adjusted, and the commanders of all regiments will come to our 535th Regiment one after another to observe and study, the speech and demeanor of officers and men is the window of the 535th Regiment, and those words and deeds with the color of the rivers and lakes in the past must be resolutely banned, this is an urgent political task."

Liu Yizhang saw that Liu Yan seemed to be a different person, and he changed his past problem of speaking casually, and his serious appearance was a little funny and a little cute.

"Okay, let's hold the first team meeting after the adjustment of the cadres of the 535th Regiment now, and everyone has already read the cadre appointment documents. The military department has recently carried out a major reshuffle of the cadres of all regimental-level units in the whole army, which is related to the current military situation of the 77 th Army; since the end of the Muluyuan blockade battle, the 77 th Army has been ordered to go to a long-term rest and recuperation, and there will be no battle to fight in a short period of time. The next work of our 535th Regiment is to vigorously grasp the work of regimental building in accordance with the unified arrangements of the military department; the leading body of the 535th Regiment is relatively stable, and Regiment Commander Li Wenzhong has been transferred to the post of political commissar, and he knows the roots of the 535th Regiment, has prestige, and is very good at doing ideological and political work, and this will play a vital role in the continuity and stability of the regimental building; Chief of Staff Shi Mingliang has been serving as a staff officer in the military headquarters, and this time he has had close contact with the commanders and fighters of the 535th Regiment at all levels in Seed Mountain. Liu Yan and Qiu Wei will respectively cooperate with Political Commissar Li and me to do a good job in political work and enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, and the overall division of labor among the five of us is basically the same. I now arrange a few specific tasks that need to be done immediately, the first is to improve the living environment of the soldiers, after the Seed Mountain blockade battle, our regiment still has a lot of explosives left, use these explosives to expand the soldiers' living bomb shelters, the regiment headquarters should also be expanded, at least to accommodate more than 30 people to attend the meeting, this work is in charge of Qiu Wei, Liu Yan and I still live in the regiment headquarters, this time we sleep separately, one person on a marching bed, I really squeeze enough with him. ”

Everyone laughed, Liu Yan was the happiest, "Captain Liu, it's better to sleep separately, I don't have to smell your stinky feet anymore, listen to your snoring and fall asleep, you are embarrassed to say that you have enough to squeeze with me, and your skin is so thick that you are about to catch up with the deck of the tank." ”

"Director Liu, don't be too happy, Head Liu just sleeps in a separate bed with you and not in a separate room, you two are still under the same roof, what you should smell and hear is the same, otherwise I will change it with you? You squeeze with those battalion commanders, and I'll suffer for you? Qiu Wei said to Liu Yan with a smile. He really wants to live with Liu Yizhang, since Li Wenzhong has been paying close attention to the style of the team in the past few days, Qiu Wei is much more vigilant than Liu Xingzhang, he knows that Liu Yizhang became the head of the regiment at a young age, and he will definitely be secretly targeted by many eyes, his identity as Liu Yizhang's sworn brother must be hidden, and he can't let people grab the pigtails and cause trouble to Liu Yizhang, of course he knows that Liu Yan is just playing tricks, and it is impossible to really dislike Liu Yizhang's stinky feet, but no, Liu Yan immediately rejected Qiu Wei's 'kindness', and said with a smile, " Deputy Head Qiu, I understand your kindness, I have been plagued by Captain Liu for a long time, and I am used to it, so you don't want to be ravaged by him. ”

Liu Yizhang knocked on the table and pretended to be serious, "What about the meeting, you two are not done playing poor?" ”

"Liu Yan, where did I just talk about?" Liu Yizhang's speech is never drafted, and once it is interrupted in the middle, it is easy to get stuck.

"Speaking of the soldiers' dormitories and the renovation of the regimental headquarters." Liu Yan immediately became serious.

"Everyone, it is strictly forbidden to interrupt my train of thought for no reason in the future meeting, hold it back if you are funny, put aside any doubts, and it is not too late for everyone to discuss it after I finish speaking, in addition, every work I arrange must be recorded, Liu Yan is a part-time stenographer, and it also saves you from interjecting."

Liu Yizhang then arranged the task, "The second thing is that Chief of Staff Shi Mingliang has drafted a training program on improving military literacy in the past few days, and the audience of this program is commanders at and above the platoon level. The third thing is the military training work of the troops, which is carried out separately for veterans and recruits, and different plans are drawn up for long-term intensive training of about three to five months. Speaking of Liu Xingzhang, I explain why the Wushu Einsatzgruppen was reorganized into a special service company directly under the regimental headquarters, after discussion with Chief of Staff Wang Shiguang, I felt that it was very necessary for the Wushu Einsatzgruppen to be reorganized and preserved, if the team members were dispersed to various combat units, their special talents would be greatly weakened, and it was reorganized into the 535th Regiment Special Service Company, which was a sharp knife that could perform special tasks of the military headquarters at any time. After the meeting, I will talk to Xingzhang and badge alone. Fourth, we must vigorously carry out self-rescue work, and now that we have just entered May, we must carry out large-scale reclamation of land under the guidance of local Korean villagers, especially to increase the cultivation of vegetables, because many soldiers eat too little vegetables, resulting in health problems, and also to raise more pigs, and strive to let the soldiers eat a few meals of pork during the rest period. The fifth thing is to immediately set up an engineering unit, the number of people does not need to be very large, about 100 people, select some skilled such as bricklayers, carpenters before joining the army, such fighters, the captain of the third battalion commander Jiang Canghai concurrently, this engineering team does not have to be set up separately, these members are usually in their respective companies, that is, they can be quickly gathered when they are needed, why set up an engineering unit? The roads and bridges near our station are often blown up by the US imperialists, and we need to go quickly to repair them so that the transport vehicles can pass unimpeded......"

Liu Yizhang arranged eight tasks that urgently need to be completed at present, involving politics, economy, culture and other aspects, and the most exciting thing for everyone is the cultural arrangement, including speech contests, singing competitions, essay competitions and other events, and also plans to invite the Corps Art Troupe to Ma Xiling to give condolence performances.

Although everyone's work is particularly heavy, but everyone's enthusiasm for work is unprecedentedly high, the 535th Regiment has opened the curtain of team building, like the rising sun, an invincible ace army is being born!
