Fifty kilometers north of Cangyan Mountain, Pingshan Hongzidian.

Di Hanming led the 424th Regiment to march to the south except for the second battalion, the guard platoon, and the sharpshooter team.

"Political commissar, fifty kilometers further south of here, you will enter the garrison area of our regiment commander."

By Di Hanming's side, a newly promoted deputy company commander with a slightly immature face said. However, when he said this, a smile flashed in Di Hanming's eyes, and then he reprimanded him half-truthfully.

"Your kid is now the deputy company commander, not the platoon commander of the 424th Regiment, pay attention to the title when speaking in the future, don't say this kind of thing that is easy to cause misunderstanding, as if it was our 424th Regiment pulling the mountain."

Listening to Di Hanming's words, the deputy platoon commander immediately had a teachable expression and nodded seriously, but then laughed again.

As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and promotion is naturally a good thing. This deputy company commander was previously a platoon commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 424th Regiment. After entering Hebei, the first thing the 344 Brigade did was to expand its organization and add a regiment on the original basis. If a new regiment is set up, it will naturally need someone to fill the ranking, and some of the cadres will naturally need to be selected from the existing contingents.

A number of cadres were assigned to each regiment to fill the newly formed contingent. Several cadres were also transferred out of the second battalion, and the same is true of the deputy company commander in front of him, who was originally a platoon commander of the second battalion, but because of his excellent performance, he was selected to be the deputy company commander during the examination.

……

In the Niu Jin Village, Yue Siliang was sitting at the table looking at things at this time.

With a pencil in one hand, he was writing and drawing on paper, and there was a notebook next to it. The other hand pinched a cigarette. Because he fought a few battles with devils and made a few foreign fortunes, Yue Siliang's life was not so tight, and he was smoking a serious cigarette at the moment, not a shabby-looking dry tobacco.

There was a puff of cigarette, Yue Siliang held his eyebrows and competed with the diary on the table. In this notebook, the highlights and mistakes of every battle during this period of time are recorded, as well as a few questions that have been summarized, and the last thing to write is which directions the team may want to focus on next.

It can be said that this is a diary of Yue Siliang's army, and there are also some personal opinions of Yue Siliang.

Now, Yue Siliang wants to select some suitable content from this note, program a simple manual, and plan a draft of the next stage of the troop regulations, and when Di Hanming arrives, he will discuss it with everyone at the meeting.

While he was combing through the information word by word, Lei Zi ran in with his big boat-like feet.

"Captain! Head! ”

"Click~"

Lei Zi's babbling voice made Yue Siliang tremble, and the pencil in his hand slammed down, and the lead was broken off at that time, and an ugly pencil mark was drawn on the paper.

"What are you arguing about, kid!"

The angry Yue Siliang immediately slapped the pencil on the table, and his two eyes stared at Lei Zi angrily. Lei Zi's shout just now not only broke his pencil, but also broke his train of thought.

"Uh, Captain."

As soon as Lei Zi saw that he had stabbed the hornet's nest, his neck was shrunk in fright, and he immediately opened his mouth to change the topic.

"Regiment commander, political commissar, they are back, and now they are in Lubei."

"So fast!"

As soon as he heard Lei Zi say this, Yue Siliang's face changed at that time. I don't blame Lei Zi anymore, and he strode out.

The "north of the road" that Lei Zi just mentioned means the north of the Zhengtai Railway. The whole Jingcheng was crossed by the railway, and after the Japanese came here and occupied Jingcheng, they divided Jingcheng into two administrative districts according to the railway, Lubei County and Lunan County, and the two counties of the south and the north were managed separately and coordinated to govern the railway, which is enough to prove that the Japanese attach great importance to this railway.

"How?"

"Regiment leader, just now the political commissar used the radio to contact us, and they are now in the north of the road, and in front of them is the mining area. The political commissar asked the regiment headquarters if it was necessary to make a detour. ”

Cheng Fei, who manages the radio station, said to Yue Siliang like this, and after listening to Cheng Fei's report, Yue Siliang frowned and said.

"Tell the commissar to bypass two kilometers to the east. Meet at Xuzhuang, and we'll go to pick it up. ”

During this period of time in Hebei, the 424th Regiment and other teams fought several skirmishes with the devils, and the two sides could be said to have their own victories and defeats. The devils who have suffered losses are now not casually provocative, resulting in a delicate balance between them and the devils in the past week.

However, whether it is the previous battles, or the current equilibrium situation. Yue Siliang and the rest of his brother troops also rarely touched one place, and that was the mining area.

Although Jingcheng belongs to Hebei, it is very close to Shanxi, and has very good conditions in terms of natural resource endowment. The first thing the Japanese army did after occupying Jingcheng in October was to take control of the mining area. Japan is a resource-poor country, and coal mines are particularly important for them, so they attach great importance to it and have gathered heavy troops here. Moreover, the Japanese troops stationed in the mining area did not participate in any battles, and they had only one mission, that is, to protect the mining area.

The sickness of the Japanese is world-famous, and Yue Siliang obviously does not want to see it for himself. It's just a simple team assembly, and there is no need to touch the sensitive nerves of the little devil at this time.

"Liu Chuan, you are guarding at the regiment headquarters, and I will take a company to pick up the political commissar."

Yue Siliang said with a smile, and as he spoke, he motioned for Lei Zi to go out and assemble the team.

"Alas! Commander, how can this work! You are the supreme commander of the unit, how can you leave the regimental headquarters casually? I think I'd better pick up the commissars. ”

When Liu Chuan heard Yue Siliang say this, he disagreed at that time. Yue Siliang's temperament of leading the team out for a stroll at every turn really gave him a headache, and when he saw him thinking about it again today, he immediately objected.

"What are you nervous about, I'll take the team out to have a look, and by the way, survey the terrain. The devils suffered a little loss some time ago, and they must have planned to save face. The next time the devil comes back, the intensity will definitely not be comparable to the previous battles. Within a radius of tens of kilometers around us, every inch of land has the potential to become a battlefield. Looking now is also preparing for the future. ”

As soon as Yue Siliang said this, he choked Liu Chuan enough, and Yue Siliang was like this: he wanted to do something heart-pounding on his own, and there were always a lot of reasons. And more importantly, Yue Siliang not only has a reason to gag, he sometimes likes to threaten people. One of my favorite sayings is: "I'm the chief, you dare to care, I'll just stare at me." ”

This soft and hard down, what does he want to do, who dares to stop him in the entire 424 regiment? Liu Chuan had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit the matter. At the same time, he secretly thought in his heart that when the political commissar and the entire regiment headquarters came, he would immediately return to the second battalion to wait for the team with peace of mind.

After leading the team out of the barracks, Yue Siliang and the others did not take the road of Cangyan Mountain, but went down from the fork of the road to the ravine, went over the shallow stream and set up a road for a while, and turned a few more corners before going to the main road, and then walked to Xuzhuang.

When he arrived at Xuzhuang, Yue Siliang did not enter the village. As of today, their team has only been here for half a month, and it can be regarded as an away game. It is unwise to carry out work in a hurry without understanding the local situation, and the lessons of history have made Yue Siliang understand that it is not advisable to rush for quick success and quick gain.

Directly bypassing Xuzhuang, Yue Siliang took the fourth company and settled down under a dirt slope along the railway. Today is the winter solstice, December 22, which is the twentieth day of the winter month according to the lunar calendar. It was still very cold, and the snow on the ground was almost as thick as the sole of a foot. The warriors hid behind the dirt slope, and they were all breathing cold, rubbing their hands and shaking their legs.

But even so, everyone was still with their guns, and their eyes were like falcons looking around vigilantly.

"Commander, I see! Someone is on the other side of the railway! It's our commissar them! ”

In the distance north of the railway, a group of black dots suddenly appeared on the horizon, and then the black dots grew larger and larger. Wei Tiezhu, who was guarding Yue Siliang's left and right, had sharp eyes, and at a glance he could see that the person who came was wearing the same military uniform as himself.

"I see it."

Yue Siliang saw it in the telescope before the iron pillar, and immediately put down the telescope excitedly, jumped out of the dirt slope in one step, and strode over in the direction of the railway with the fourth company. Over there, Di Hanming and Wang Shuangyin also discovered Yue Siliang, and both of them immediately accelerated their pace.

"Haha, Captain!"

Di Hanming strode over, and when Yue Siliang walked in, he grabbed the other party's two arms with one hand.

"Hey! Hamming, it's time for you kid! ”

Yue Siliang also laughed happily, and punched Di Hanming firmly in the chest.

"Now our 424th Regiment is in one place again."

Di Hanming said with emotion, coming all the way from the military region, he had already felt the atmosphere of the mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building. Yue Siliang said with a smile on his face, his eyes swept around.

"That's right, our group can show their strength again! Today is the winter solstice! We have to celebrate well, return to the regiment headquarters, and let's have a good meal together! Dumplings with pork filling! ”

"Good !!"

The surrounding soldiers suddenly smiled, and a cheerful atmosphere wafted in the sky above this section of Xuzhuang of the Zhengtai Railway.
