The headquarters quieted down, and the brigade commander spoke: "You already know the decision of the headquarters, except for the new regiment, our brigade will go to Shandong to open up a base area, and I will send you the expanded establishment in a while." ”

After the brigade commander finished speaking, the four regiment commanders sitting there were silent, after dividing the troops, the danger in both directions was not small, Brigade Commander Chen wanted to take the troops to Shandong, and Li Ping had to face the heavy encirclement and suppression of the devils alone.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the political commissar patted the table lightly and said: "The weapons and equipment that Chongqing has given us are now at the brigade headquarters, and it is imperative to reorganize, so we don't have to have a psychological burden." ”

Regiment Commander Zhang, who was in silence, raised his head and said, "Brigade commander, allocate some of the weapons assigned to our regiment and leave them to Li Ping!" As soon as we left, they ......"

The other two regiment commanders immediately nodded in agreement, and they all agreed to transfer weapons to Li Ping's new regiment, after all, the new regiment is now equivalent to blocking guns for everyone.

The brigade commander and political commissar were about to agree, when Li Ping said: "Brigade commander, there is no need to transfer weapons and equipment, you want to go to Shandong, there is no supply all the way, and before you build a base area, you will lose all the way." ”

"We captured it in the last war, I prepared a lot of medicine for you, and I won't give the rest of the things, you also know the situation."

After Li Ping finished speaking, everyone fell silent, and what Li Ping said was right, without a base, the troops would be rootless and wandering, and the losses would not be replenished.

Li Ping looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Brigade commander, I will be careful, if it really doesn't work, I will return to the mountain first, and then I am not without capital, I can still do it after a few months of dealing with devils." ”

The brigade commander and others smiled bitterly, what kind of maneuvering, it would be a fluke if the new regiment was not defeated and the whole army was annihilated.

The political commissar looked at Li Ping and said softly: "Li Ping, the new regiment has been expanded into an independent brigade, and it will be directly under the command of the headquarters in the future, and the boss has already transferred a lot of cadres to you, two regiment commanders, eight battalion commanders, sixteen company commanders, and thirty political work cadres. ”

Li Ping nodded to indicate that he knew, the meeting continued, the adapted documents were issued, Li Ping put away the documents, everyone walked out of the room, looked at the weapons and equipment that had been loaded into the car, and Li Ping came to Commander Zhang.

"Old Chief, be careful, wait for the next meeting, I hope we have won."

Head Zhang wiped away his tears, stared at Li Ping and said, "Boy, live well, don't fight hard, you know?" ”

Li Ping nodded, the two hugged and left, returning to the regiment headquarters, Li Ping gathered the cadres.

After the cadres arrived, the political commissar told him about the reorganization, and everyone didn't look happy at all after hearing it.

"Commissar, we're going to be alone in the future, aren't we?" After Chen Zhong finished speaking, everyone rolled their eyes, this is the reality.

Everyone was obviously worried, Li Ping stood up with a cold snort, stared at them, and said, "What are you worried about?" Brigade commander, if they're gone, you won't fight, will you! ”

Don't look at Li Ping's young age, but the cadres can't figure out his psychology at all, think about what Li Ping said is right, their new group has not come from difficulties.

The cadres who had just been transferred looked at Li Ping, especially the two regiment commanders, the two looked at each other and nodded slightly, what the troops wanted was this temperament, a strong leader, and the soldiers below were fearless.

Li Ping sat down and motioned to the political commissar to start, the political commissar nodded, picked up the document, and said: "The establishment that Chongqing has given us is a brigade, but our number is far more, so now we are reorganized internally. ”

"The original three battalions of the main force of the new regiment were reorganized into three regiments of the independent brigade, and the commander of the unit was promoted to one level."

The political commissar handed over the document to Chen Zhong and them, and several people immediately saluted, they originally had the main battalion, the independent battalion, and the garrison battalion, and now they happened to be regiments when they were expanded.

The political commissar looked at a few people and said: "Your troops already have weapons and equipment, and the weapons that Chongqing gave us this time are not being distributed, do you know?" ”

"Yes, Commissar"

The three of them sat down, the political commissar opened the document, and continued: "Chongqing's weapons and equipment are two regiments and one battalion, and now I order that the fourth and fifth regiments will be built by Commander Ma Hao and Commander Liu, who have just been transferred, and the weapons will be issued immediately. ”

"Yes"

The two newly transferred regiment commanders looked sluggish, are they brigades?

The political commissar smiled and continued: "The troops directly under the original regiment headquarters have been changed to a new regiment and two independent regiments. ”

"The troops captured a lot of horses last time, and they are facing up to forming a cavalry battalion."

After the political commissar finished speaking, everyone calculated in their hearts that there were a total of seven regiments in the independent brigade, and all the veterans had been digested except for the companies that were dispersed.

The two regiment commanders who had just arrived were stunned and asked, "Commissar, do we have so many weapons?" ”

The political commissar shook his head slightly, and said: "It is definitely impossible to have a full number of weapons, and all the weapons in our warehouse are ready to be distributed, but everyone can't rely on us all." ”

After the political commissar finished speaking, everyone quieted down, Li Ping stood up and came to the map, pointed to the map and said: "Brigade commander, they will leave after the expansion, originally our plan was to connect the base areas together, but now the situation has changed, but I still have to complete this layout." ”

"After the reorganization of the troops was completed, the first regiment of Chen Zhong took over the base area of the original independent regiment, and the second and third regiments took over the defense areas of the original two regiments of the brigade headquarters."

"The fourth regiment and the fifth regiment occupy the area between Pingxian and the three regiments, and I only leave the new independent regiment, the new regiment, and the cavalry battalion directly under the brigade headquarters in Pingxian County."

Li Ping's hand drew a circle on the map, Chen Zhong and several people were sluggish, and the regiment commander was going to completely take over the original base area.

"Brigade commander, we are scattered, what should we do in Pingxian? It's right under the nose of a devil. Chen Zhong's problem made everyone worried, Li Ping's brigade headquarters stayed here, if something happened, he didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Li Ping smiled lightly and explained: "We must be separated, hugging together is convenient for the devils to encircle and suppress, you look at the map, as long as you can control the base area, then our brigade headquarters can retreat at any time, and there is another advantage of dispersion, that is, the devils want to encircle and suppress us, then the forces must be separated." ”

"Look at the four counties we control, why do I arrange the fourth regiment and the fifth regiment here, because if these two places are fought, you can control one county each."

"There are six counties of territory for us to wrestle with the devil, and we can drag the devil to death, as long as we support each other and survive the difficulties, Lao Tzu has to make the devil look good."

After Li Ping finished speaking, everyone laughed, if it really met Li Ping's expectations, the devil should not think about it.

Everyone dispersed, and the base area began to draw troops, and three days later, the regiments transferred to various defense areas began to set off.

After receiving a telegram from Li Ping that he was about to take over the base area, Brigade Commander Chen, no, it should be Senior Commander Chen who almost broke his waist.
