Chapter 173: The Great Hero is Back!

Anyone who has been with Zhao Tiehu for a while knows that this cold-blooded and ruthless officer in the eyes of the enemy seems to be extremely warm and caring when he treats the people around him and his own people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Some people may think that Zhao Tiehu treats his old subordinates so generously. But for Zhao Tiehu, every time he sees these old subordinates, Zhao Tiehu hopes that they can live until the end of the Anti-Japanese War, and can really live until the day when the war ends.

Whether he was in the army or a mercenary in his previous life, Zhao Tiehu knows the cruelty of war better than anyone else. Even if his old subordinates are all experienced in combat, who dares to guarantee that they will survive to the end in such troubled times?

Giving them some weapons and equipment is more of Zhao Tiehu's heart, a heart that can increase their chances of survival. But this hidden thought, Zhao Tiehu rarely tells people, only he knows it in his heart.

Perhaps, as Zhao Tiehu said in his previous life, only when he has truly experienced life and death can he understand the value of comradeship. There are not many people left in the Tiger Head Battalion, and as the old battalion commander, he hopes that these old subordinates can live well.

When the 3rd Battalion of the 386th Brigade's new 1st Regiment uploaded the news of Zhao Tiehu's arrival in Wuxiang to the regiment headquarters. The new regiment, having received this news, quickly forwarded the message to the brigade headquarters. For this Hutou Mountain Brigade, it is now famous in the 386th Brigade.

Despite the things that the Hutoushan Brigade did in Qixian and Taigu, the officers known to the 386th Brigade were limited to regimental cadres. But many regiment-level cadres know that Zhao Hutou of the Tiger Head Battalion has begun to be vigorous again.

With a company-level combat unit, such a big move can be made behind enemy lines, and even force a large Japanese army to end the sweep ahead of schedule. Such combat effectiveness and command ability are inferior to even some regiment-level cadres.

After receiving the telegram from the new group, Brigade Commander Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said: "Lao Li, it seems that what you said is right, this kid is alive and well!" Every time, I can catch up with the little devil before the encirclement, this scale is very accurate! ā€

'Brigadier Commander, don't praise this kid, this kid can't help but boast. If you boast, something will happen. However, this time he suddenly withdrew to the territory of Wuxiang, and he planned to return to Yushe in the future. Do you want him to come to the brigade headquarters to report something? ’

I haven't seen this old subordinate and Li Xinwu, who is a fellow villager, for a while, and I really want to see what Zhao Tiehu looks like now. In addition, I would also like to talk to him about the next steps for him.

At least Li Xinwu knows that Zhao Tiehu is actually doing well now. If you really want to transfer him to another place, it is estimated that you will also have to ask Zhao Tiehu's opinion. If you only give a paper order, this kid may not sell it.

Hearing Li Xinwu's suggestion, Brigade Commander Chen thought for a while and said, "That's it! Let him go back to Yushe to rest for a while, and two days ago, their regiment commander sent a telegram, hoping that the troops of our brigade would help find out your boy's whereabouts!

After coming out for so long, Wang Jinghe is also very concerned about the guerrilla brigade under him! The victory of this anti-sweep is only due to this kid's troops. It's just that this kid seems to be very picky about recruiting troops, and he doesn't want those captured puppet soldiers.

Judging from the current situation, it is a little difficult for our brigade to form a new regiment. If this kid's brigade can be expanded, I will apply to the division again and give him a supplementary regiment number.

If you really want to transfer him from Hutou Mountain, it is estimated that this kid will definitely be reluctant to save those belongings. If our brigade can expand another supplementary regiment, I believe that in the southwest of Shanxi, our strength will also surpass that of the Jin Sui Army. ā€

Regarding some things about Zhao Tiehu during his time in the Red Army, Brigade Commander Chen also heard about it. In a word, Zhao Tiehu is very brave in battle, but his level of stabbing the basket is not bad. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been a battalion commander during the Long March.

After all, when Zhao Tiehu went to Jinggangshan, he was already the platoon commander of the Red First Division. If you really want to count according to the military age, Zhao Tiehu can be said to be the first batch of Red Army soldiers who rebelled and revolutionized, or the old soldier in Yan'an who took the mountain with one hand!

With Brigade Commander Chen's instructions, Li Xinwu quickly gave the latest instructions to the new regiment. But when the new group conveyed the news to Zhao Tiehu, Zhao Tiehu, who had rested in the mountains for a night, left early the next morning.

Although a lot of weapons and ammunition were sent away last night, it undoubtedly lightened the burden on the combat detachment. Fortunately, the communicator of the new regiment also rode a horse, and finally caught up with Zhao Tiehu, who was retreating towards Yushe.

'Captain Zhao, this is a telegram just sent by the brigade headquarters. You're walking so fast, we almost didn't catch up. ’

'A telegram from the brigade headquarters, for me?' ’

'Yes! This is a telegram to you, and our head of the regiment asked me to thank you on his behalf. ’

'What to thank! It's all one family, so why talk about two families! ’

Why did the commander of the new regiment thank you, I think it was also for the batch of weapons and equipment of the third battalion, and if I didn't make it, the new regiment confiscated it. The four mortars are also a bit eye-catching in the third battalion, and it is also possible to form an artillery platoon in the regiment.

After all, at present, the main regiment of the Eighth Route Army is extremely lacking in artillery. If there is an artillery platoon, it will be relatively easy to defend or attack, so that every battle can only be filled by human lives.

Looking at the telegram placed in the envelope, Zhao Tiehu opened it and said with a little surprise: "The brigade commander and the chief of staff, let me take the troops back to Yushe and report to the brigade headquarters." Okay, what are I going to do with running so far? ā€

Liu Cheng, who was staying on the side, said with a smile: "Captain, I think it must be a great thing to be able to go to the brigade headquarters to report to the brigade commander." I heard the battalion commander say that the brigade commander plans to transfer you to be the regiment commander! ā€

'! There are only a few regiments in our brigade in total, one turnip and one pit. Is it possible for me to be the deputy head of the regiment? If that's the case, then I might as well stay in Hutou Mountain! Your own team is more comfortable to stay in.

Forget it, take some little devil's meat sticks for these comrades in the new group, and work hard for them to run, and these sticks will be used as a thank you gift! Tell you the head of the regiment that I will definitely visit him next time I have the opportunity to come. ’

'Yes, thank you, Captain Zhao! Then we'll go first! ’

After receiving the dozen or so meat sticks that Liu Cheng asked people to pack, the four communication cavalrymen on horseback also felt very happy. Even if they are correspondents of the regiment headquarters, they don't eat this kind of meat head very often.

After all, every time such meat is captured, most of them are given priority to the wounded to supplement nutrition. Occasionally add a meal, maybe you have a chance to taste it. Now Zhao Tiehu is giving more than a dozen strokes at once, which really makes them happy!

After leaving Wuxiang, Zhao Tiehu knew that the soldiers were also like arrows, and they didn't bother with the little devils on the march. After entering the territory of Yushe, Zhao Tiehu still asked the combat detachment to pick a few little devil sentry posts.

Every time he saw these Japanese puppet soldiers who set up cards on the highway to intercept, Zhao Tiehu always felt extremely uncomfortable. There are not many roads in Yushe itself, and these little devils and the puppet army have set up checkpoints to intercept them at two ends for three days.

This kind of investigation and interception will also not play much role in dealing with the anti-Japanese forces in Yushe. On the contrary, those people who had to pass through the highway were not lightly harmed by these Japanese puppet troops. If you don't clean them up, who will clean them up!

Several highway checkpoints were attacked, and not even a single survivor could be found, which really surprised the little devils of Yushe. But it seems that it has become very difficult to find the attacker. After all, they did not get any benefits from this sweeping campaign.

It can be said that some villages that were originally under their jurisdiction were lost in this sweeping campaign. Those local tyrants and inferior gentry who helped the little devils in the sweeping campaign were liquidated by the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas afterwards.

Generally speaking, the Japanese troops stationed in Yushe not only did not expand their influence in this sweeping campaign, but gave the 772nd Regiment a chance to grow. Many villages where landlords and bullies were eradicated became guerrilla bases for the Eighth Route Army.

After some political mobilization, many young people from those villages joined the 772nd Regiment. The 772nd Regiment, which had just finished the anti-sweeping campaign, had a great increase in the number of recruits.

When Zhao Tiehu came to the vicinity of Xinguan Town again, he contacted the three battalions stationed here. Knowing the arrival of Zhao Tiehu and his entourage, the battalion commander Zhu Xin also seemed very happy and personally went to the entrance of the village to welcome the return of Zhao Tiehu and his entourage.

I said how could there be a magpie at the entrance of the village in the morning, and I dared to love our great hero who had returned. Lao Zhao, you are finally back. If you don't come back, it is estimated that the head of the regiment will send someone to find you back! ’

Listening to Zhu Xin's enthusiastic and exaggerated words, Zhao Tiehu also smiled and said, "It's still a magpie!" The magpie didn't see it, but the sparrows came and saw a few on the way. I'm such a big person, and I won't get lost, don't I know the way home?

However, as soon as I entered the village, I noticed that there were a lot of new recruits in the village. It seems that you have also reaped a lot of benefits from this anti-sweep. It's rare for my brother to come over, why don't you give an extra meal today to reward the Five Organs Temple! ā€

'It should be! Let's go, let's talk in the village! Hey, good guy, you guy turned around, and the team grew a lot. Oh my God, eight cannon barrels, and so many machine guns. It seems that you have really made a fortune this outing! ’

'What about that!' It's just that I picked up a few bits and pieces. The real big heads stayed on the Taigu side and let the 385th Brigade take over. Alas, who told us to stay away, so many good things can't be brought back, it's distressing! ’

Faced with Zhu Xin's greed for mortar and machine guns staring at him, Zhao Tiehu naturally would not let go easily. is about to return to Hutou Mountain, and Zhao Tiehu also wants to expand the size of the army. These weapons are the home of the future troops!

With this batch of trained veteran troops, Zhao Tiehu felt that in the future, he would only have to fight a few more battles and capture more weapons and ammunition. After all, one gun per person is the lowest standard configuration in Zhao Tiehu's opinion.

It's just that no one expected that Zhao Tiehu, who returned to the third battalion, would hear something after hearing something. He didn't even bother to eat dinner, so he left the village with the team. What's going on here?
