The pistol was aimed at Yang Chaoran.

Political Commissar Zhao Gang was afraid that the situation would expand, so he hurriedly blocked in the middle and sternly asked Yang Chaoran: "Hey, Comrade Yang Chaoran, what did you do?" Are you really a comrade from the Eighth Route Army? Don't you know the mass policy of the Eighth Route Army? ”

Political Commissar Tang Bin hurriedly came over.

Now, his identity has changed, if Yang Chaoran changes from an independent regiment commander to an infantry battalion commander, he, the regimental political commissar, will correspondingly become a battalion instructor.

"No, it must be a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding, Commander Li, Political Commissar Zhao, this is definitely not the case, Comrade Yang Chaoran will never arrest soldiers casually, let alone force the people, really, I swear! I vouch for Comrade Yang Chaoran with my political life and personality. Tang Bin waved his hands, shouted to Li Yunlong, and also pleaded with Political Commissar Zhao Gang.

Li Yunlong was furious: "Tang Bin, are you still quibbling for him?" Can you guarantee it? Are you guaranteed alone? You say, do we believe you alone or do you believe in so many masses of fighters? ”

Yang Chaoran smiled: "Head Li, Political Commissar Zhao, I guess, you have misunderstood, really misunderstood!" ”

Li Yunlong walked over and put the pistol against Yang Chaoran's head: "Okay, you can explain to me, what is the misunderstanding!" Is it false that you are forcing the masses and arresting soldiers? ”

Yang Chaoran also had to explain that over there, hundreds of cadres and soldiers were already noisy.

"Hey, you can't make things difficult for our Captain Yang like that!"

"Our regimental commander is a great hero!"

As he spoke, many soldiers rushed over and blocked Yang Chaoran behind him.

Especially the female soldier Caiying, "Commander Li, Political Commissar Zhao, you are too much, our Commander Yang Chaoran is a very good person, you don't ask about indiscriminately scaring people, are you the Eighth Route Army?" ”

Li Yunlong immediately put away the pistol, Zhang Dabiao hurriedly rushed to the front to protect Li Yunlong, and Li Yunlong pushed him away: "What are you doing?" Protect me? Don't. ”

Political Commissar Zhao Gang immediately realized something, and waved his hands to make everyone stop the noise: "Cadres and soldiers of the infantry battalion, I believe this is a misunderstanding, your battalion commander who loves you so much is definitely not compulsory, but, why do you say that you are forced to come?" ”

Chaeyoung was in front and said loudly, "It's mandatory." Captain Yang Chaoran is a very good person! ”

Hey, he who forced you, and you still speak for him?

Li Yunlong clapped his hands and pointed at Yang Chaoran: "Hey, what kind of trick are you doing?" ”

Yang Chaoran pushed away the cadres and soldiers who were protecting him, and explained: "It was my negligence, I taught everyone before, no matter what the circumstances, you must firmly say that you were captured by Yang Chaoran's forced soldiers!" In this way, in the hands of the Japanese puppet army, you may be able to reduce personal injury. ”

As soon as his voice fell, the cadres and soldiers nodded one after another: "That's it, that's it!" Regiment Commander Yang said that we were really captured by the enemy, so he said that we were captured by the soldiers of the Independent Regiment. ”

Caiying said: "Also, we did arrest it, I am from Huaide County over there, we are all vying to be soldiers, but the number of recruits in the army is too small, we can't grab it, so Commander Yang said, let's catch the soldiers, catch lots, whoever catches it, who is a soldier, what can't be caught, it's the ordinary people, we can only wait for the next time to have the opportunity to be a soldier." ”

I see?

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and others suddenly realized and laughed again.

Let the troops return to their formation and stand in line.

Individual cadres and fighters were repeatedly questioned, lest they would speak against their will under pressure.

After the head of the regiment Li Yunlong asked, he strode towards Yang Chaoran, held his hand tightly, and shook it vigorously: "I'm sorry, Comrade Yang Chaoran, I apologize to you!" I need to be self-critical, because I have a rough work style, misunderstood you and my comrades, and almost made a big mistake! I hope you can forgive me! ”

Political Commissar Zhao Gang also apologized.

Zhang Dabiao smiled dryly: "Comrade Yang Chaoran, if you apologize, count me in!" ”

Yang Chaoran was overjoyed: "It doesn't matter, it's a trivial matter, besides, it is also necessary to maintain the mass discipline of the Eighth Route Army, it is me, and I will do the same!" ”

After rectifying the ranks again, Li Yunlong gave a lecture, directly saluted all the cadres and soldiers, and bowed and apologized.

The cadres and soldiers were very curious and very moved: "The Eighth Route Army is really a good person, Bodhisattva Chief!" ”

After the speech, he asked the cadres of various units, company commanders, platoon commanders, and squad leaders, and Li Yunlong shook hands one by one and expressed encouragement.

Finally, he said loudly: "From now on, your independent regiment will be officially reorganized and become a special battalion of the independent regiment of the regular army of the Eighth Route Army!" ”

Before the words fell, a soldier raised his hand, and the female soldier of Caiying said: "Chief, our battalion is a special battalion, what battalion should the other battalions of our independent regiment be?" Special camp, isn't it a bit bad? ”

Li Yunlong said with a smile: "Your independent regiment, from now on, will be officially abolished, and all of them will be reduced to one battalion, and all of them will be infantry special battalions. ”

A company commander raised his hand: "No, chief, we are asking, what will they do with the other units of our original independent regiment, the first battalion, the second battalion, the third battalion, the fifth battalion, and the artillery battalion?" Won't it be disbanded, right? ”

Li Yunlong said patiently: "What did you say? Could it be that your independent regiment still has several battalions that can't be formed? ”

The commander of this infantry battalion said loudly: "Yes, our independent regiment has five barracks, Beicang Town Battalion, Xiangu Town Battalion, Xiaolizhuang Battalion, Yucun Battalion, County Town Battalion, and ...... Artillery battalion, cavalry company. ”

Li Yunlong was stunned, he asked the battalion commander to stop, and asked Yang Chaoran himself: "Comrade Yang Chaoran, how many troops do you have?" Isn't there only such an infantry battalion? ”

Yang Chaoran happened to see Su Chenxi, Su Xiaoyue and others looking at the entrance of Yucun Village, and followed a few female soldiers, so he said, "Also, no, there are in Yucun Town." ”

Li Yunlong said briskly: "Then why don't you hurry up and summon it?" Our whole army assembles! Isn't this an integration meeting? Let's do it all! ”

Yang Chaoran stood up and saluted, turned around and shouted.

Immediately, someone turned on his horse and rushed towards the entrance of the village over there.

Everyone waits.

Soon, someone from there came out.

Hulala, four people in a horizontal row, including infantry and cavalry, all rushed to the vicinity of the Yucun stronghold and stood in formation.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao, and all the cadres and soldiers of Zhang Dabiao's cavalry company were dumbfounded.

"Me, boom, so much? None of the battalions could hold up, so this gang was simply organized into two battalions. ”

Over there, Su Tengyun and other officers came over and asked Yang Chaoran for instructions, and Yang Chaoran called the cadres above the platoon commander to report to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong asked the officers and soldiers to report the number.

The total number of people is 832.

It does not include Su Tengyun, Tang Bin, Su Chenxi and some soldiers from the communication office and baggage department.

Yang Chaoran originally handed over more than 700 people to Tang Bin's political commissar, plus the original Feiyan Castle, that's all.

Li Yunlong asked several company commanders and platoon commanders, discussed with Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao, and finally came to consult Yang Chaoran's opinion: "Comrade Yang Chaoran, you are very remarkable, you have developed more than 1,300 soldiers in just over a month, and have made great contributions to the development of the Eighth Route Army and the construction of base areas!" On behalf of the superior organization, I would like to express my condolences to you and commend you! ”
