After the four combat heroes took the stage to receive the awards on behalf of the special operations detachment, the cavalry battalion, the 2nd battalion and the 3rd battalion, the next step was a grand parade, Han Feng, Tie Xiaogang and two other soldiers wore red and hung colors, rode tall horses along the Dengwen Lane that crossed Meizhen, and then the commendation meeting finally ended.

The villagers who participated in the conference dispersed one after another and went back to their homes.

We must admit that the results of this commendation rally were very good, not only publicizing the great victory that had just been won, but also greatly boosting the confidence and morale of the people in the base areas.

At present, almost the common people in the entire base area are talking about the independent regiment, and it is completely foreseeable that tomorrow, the recruitment office of the independent regiment in the ancestral hall of the Mei family will be crowded with young students from ten miles and eight townships, and in the near future, the Dameishan Independent Regiment is bound to usher in a wave of rapid expansion.

At present, the independent regiment still has only three infantry battalions, one cavalry battalion and an artillery company, and the strength is close to 2,000 people, but it will not be long before the strength of the independent regiment will usher in an explosive growth.

Of course, there must be a premise for all this, that is, this sweep of the devils must be repulsed.

Therefore, whether it is Xu Rui or Wang Husheng, the mood at the moment is very good.

When Xu Rui and Wang Hushengxing hurriedly returned to the League headquarters, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, but the two of them had no intention of washing and sleeping. Of course, we are discussing the effects of this commendation meeting, and then we are looking forward to the future.

Wang Husheng said: "Lao Xu, I am really impressed with you tonight, originally I thought you were a martial artist, except for being able to fight, you don't know anything else, and you can't, but I never thought that you kid was also a good hand at propaganda work, and I, an old political worker, had to bow down." ”

Xu Rui shook his hand again and again: "The political commissar said it was funny, it was funny, heh." ”

"I'm not joking with you." Wang Husheng said very seriously, "I found that you kid is very good at encouraging people's hearts, the same sentence, others say it is dry, but when you say it, it will immediately be a mess, oh, my words may be a little inappropriate, but the meaning is like this." ”

After a pause, Wang Husheng said again: "I've already thought about it, when you have time, I have to ask you to go and make a report to the fellow villagers, and you don't need to talk about international politics and the situation, you can tell the villagers about the battles you participated in, yes, tell the villagers the battle stories." ”

"Pull you down." Xu Rui said, "How can I have such idle work." ”

"It's up to you." Wang Husheng said, "This is a political task. ”

Seeing that Xu Rui wanted to refute, Wang Husheng immediately rushed to say: "We have agreed in advance, you have the final say in the war, and I have the final say in other matters, you have to listen to me in this matter, you have to obey orders, otherwise, don't blame me for using the identity of the political commissar to pressure you, let me tell you, I won't be polite to you, the tiger is not powerful, you really think that I am a sick cat as a political commissar?" You must know that my old king is not an ornament. ”

"Okay, your old king is definitely not a decoration, he is a tiger." Xu Rui didn't have a good breath and said, "Donkey, you are the old king next door, who dares to say that you are an ornament?" ”

"The old king next door? What does it mean. Wang Husheng said, "I didn't live next door to you." ”

Xu Rui naturally wouldn't tell Wang Husheng what Lao Wang next door meant, so he changed the topic and said: "What, Lao Wang, you said last time that the equipment of a team is not very good, a team of 2,000 people, but there are only more than 500 long and short guns, and the army intends to let us support a batch of weapons and ammunition, right?" ”

After the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the guerrillas in the seven provinces south of the Yangtze River were unified and reorganized into the new Fourth Army, with four detachments under its jurisdiction, and the Dameishan Independent Regiment led by Xu Rui joined later.

At present, the first and second detachments of the New Fourth Army have advanced from southern Anhui to southern Jiangsu, preparing to open up a base area behind enemy lines in southern Jiangsu.

The second detachment has won several successive battles in southern Jiangsu and captured a lot of weapons and equipment, and the conditions have been greatly improved, but the first detachment is unfavorable and the situation is relatively difficult, so the army commander Ye Ting hopes that the independent regiment can support part of the weapons and equipment of the first detachment to improve the situation of the first detachment.

Wang Husheng said: "This matter has made me refuse, our independent regiment has won several battles and captured a lot of weapons and equipment, but the question is, our team also needs to be expanded, the captured weapons and equipment are not enough for their own use, and how much surplus support is given to other detachments?" So I just refused. ”

Xu Rui said: "Lao Wang, look at what you are doing, who said that we don't have spare equipment?" ”

Wang Husheng was stunned for a moment, and said: "I didn't do anything wrong with this, our independent regiment has no surplus equipment, we captured a lot of it last time in Huilonggou, but it was all ammunition and supplies, but there were not many weapons, several battles, although a lot of equipment was also captured, but we were barely able to use it ourselves, how could there be extra support for the detachment?" ”

Xu Rui smiled and said mysteriously: "Lao Wang, I won't hide it from you, our independent regiment also has a secret arsenal near Wuxi, where Lao Tzu has stored enough weapons and equipment to arm a regiment, since the team is in difficulty, just support them with this batch of weapons and equipment." ”

"What do you say?" Wang Husheng was stunned and said, "Our independent regiment has a secret arsenal near Wuxi? Where do you have enough weapons and equipment to arm a regiment? Lao Xu, when did this happen? How did I not know? You have to tell me about this, don't you want to keep me in the dark. ”

"How can I be, it's too late for me to respect you, the big political commissar." Xu Rui laughed, and told him about the fact that he had eliminated the headquarters of the Tachibana Wing and seized a large number of weapons and equipment.

After Wang Husheng heard this, he was overjoyed and said happily: "That's really good, Lao Chen will be happy if he knows, no, he went back to southern Jiangsu, he has to invite me to drink!" ”

"What's the point of drinking?" Xu Rui said hesitantly, "I have to ask Commander Chen to send you a Japanese girl." ”

"Okay, you old Xu, why are you pulling Japanese girls again?" Wang Husheng was embarrassed when he heard this, and said with a dark face, "Didn't I mention it casually yesterday, as for you scolding me like this?" Besides, that Junko doctor looks at you differently than anyone else, don't tell me you really don't know. ”

Xu Rui smiled: "You are an old bachelor, can you still understand a woman's strange eyes?" ”

Wang Husheng said: "I haven't eaten pork, I haven't seen a pig run?" I can't understand it. ”

Xu Rui smiled: "It seems that I really have to let the wild goose keep a snack and help you introduce someone." ”

"Go, go, I don't have to worry about my affairs, a Grand Master." Wang Husheng said, "You better deal with the matter between you and those confidants, don't think that I really don't know about you, in addition to Xiaobai and Doctor Junzi, there is also a little peach, and there is a Jiangnan in Nanjing, it really causes trouble, don't say that I didn't remind you." ”

"This matter, you don't have to worry about it, the head of this regiment can settle down."

"Beautiful you, you kid really plan to be Ximenqing? It's still settled. ”

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.

Wang Husheng turned his head and said angrily: "Who?" Still not sleeping so late? ”

The door of the conference room opened, and the figure of He Guangming, the commander of the 1st battalion, appeared outside the door and said, "Didn't the regiment commander and the political commissar also sleep?" ”

"Lao He? Come in, come in and sit. Wang Husheng hurriedly beckoned He Guangming to enter, and then poured a teacup of cold boiled water for He Guangming with his own hands, He Guangming happened to be a little thirsty, and he was not polite at the moment, he took the teacup and drank it all, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve at the end, looking unfinished.

Wang Husheng poured another glass of cold water for He Guangming.

He Guangming didn't drink it immediately this time, but said: "Regiment leader, political commissar, I want to make a request to you." ”

"Request?" Wang Husheng chuckled in his heart, first exchanged glances with Xu Rui, and then said, "Lao He, even if you say that there is something we can't do properly, as long as you bring it up, we will definitely improve as much as possible, in short, we will definitely not let the brothers of the 1st Battalion be wronged." ”

"No, Commissar, you misunderstood." He Guangming said, "I'm not saying that the regiment is not doing well, but I think the regiment takes too much care of our 1st battalion, you see, the barracks where the brothers of the 2nd and 3rd battalions live are leaking on all sides, but our 1st battalion lives in the compound, and our 1st battalion is also the best in the whole regiment, but our 1st battalion has not made any contribution to the regiment, so we feel strange in our hearts." ”

Xu Rui immediately said, "Is there anyone saying strange things in front of you?" You tell them, who said that your 1st battalion did not contribute to the regiment? The main task of your 1st Battalion now is to rest and recuperate, and to develop enough physical strength and energy, and when your 1st Battalion is used in the future, your 1st Battalion will be like a tiger coming down the mountain, biting the little devil to death in one bite. ”

Wang Husheng also said: "Lao Xu is right, the task of your 1st Battalion now is to rest. ”

"The head of the report regiment and the political commissar, no one said strange things in front of us, it's just that our 1st battalion has rested." He Guangming stood up and said loudly, "Now our 1st Battalion only wants to participate in the battle. ”

Wang Husheng glanced at Xu Rui and asked, "Lao He, is this your personal meaning, or the meaning of the officers and soldiers of the whole battalion?" ”

"Report to the commissar." He Guangming said loudly, "This is what all the officers and soldiers of our 1st Battalion mean, the brothers told me, they don't want to be spectators anymore, they want to participate in the battle, they want to fight devils!" ”
