Sometimes, news runs faster than people.

This remark may seem like an insight in later generations, but it is a bit surprising in the present age, when only rudimentary radios, special telephones, signal flares, and even human power can be used to transmit messages.

At the gate of Yushe County, before Han Xin could speak, he was greeted by a group of comrades of the Eighth Route Army who were guarding.

"Captain Han, you're back! Okay, I'll just say, his little devil on a dog day will definitely not be able to keep you.

The success of our anti-encirclement and suppression in the base area this time is really thanks to you.

No, you have to stay for a while, and the celebration banquet is all done for you,"

District Captain Bao Dafu excitedly held Han Xin's hand, shaking it up and down vigorously, and the words in his mouth jumped out suddenly without answering.

Han Xin was a little stunned, when did the comrades become so enthusiastic, he just responded to Xia Bao Dafu's inquiry, nodded and admitted that he was Han Xin!

"Could it be that Han Xin's reputation is already so good?"

Han Xin thought to himself, but the truth was even more exaggerated than he imagined.

The battle of Pingxingguan Lao Ye Temple, the new regiment became famous in one battle, and the rise of Han Xin was not a great event, and what was annihilated was nothing more than half of the devil's brigade and hundreds of people.

Judging from the entire situation of the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, this is simply a drop in the ocean, and it can't make any waves at all.

However, the fact is so unexpected, although the battle of Lao Ye Temple is inconspicuous, it is a pivot that can affect the three parties, and even the early stage of the Taiyuan Battle at that time.

Naturally, all parties have paid more attention.

And who would have expected that the new group had undergone tremendous changes in Han Xin's hands, and it had a beautiful and rare victory, directly publicizing the new group and even Han Xin.

This is like many buried stars in later generations, it's not that they are not good enough, but they just lack a stage, otherwise there will be no Internet celebrities from all over the world who became popular for the first time on the stage.

Therefore, the battle of this old man's temple is a stage that belongs to the new troupe and Han Xin, a high-profile stage, and the scene staged by Han Xin and the new troupe is nothing less than an exquisite performance, which naturally completes the reputation of Han Xin and others.

After Han Xin's later sneak attack on Yangmingbao Airport, breaking through the small mountains and forests, and ambushing the two squadrons of devils, it indirectly promoted the success of the anti-encirclement and suppression in the Taihang Mountain Revolutionary Base Area.

Han Xin's reputation can be imagined.

Han Xin was a little embarrassed and helpless, he just killed more devils, won more battles, and made more contributions! As for it?

In his opinion, his rise to fame is a bit of a surprise.

Fortunately, this is not the future generation, and the big stars are chased like dogs by fans and admirers.

Han Xin only slightly greeted the cadres of all parties at the checkpoint, and he was familiar with each other, and then rushed back to the new group.

However, when things came to this point, it was far from the time when the dust settled, and a shock caused by Han Xin's return broke out completely, even to Han Xin's own surprise:

Itagaki Seishiro failed to win Han Xin because of the failure of the encirclement and suppression, and the whole person's mood can be imagined, and on the day he learned the news, he didn't care about the image and scolded the poisonous wolf and the blood bee.

Aren't you? Why can't you even get a dirt road, and still ask people to die one? It's a shame, I thought it was really an ace elite, but it was just a vain name.

The poisonous wolf and the blood bee turned red with shame, and finally even made a military order with Seishiro Itagaki : The next time he meets Han Xin, he will definitely let his head fall to the ground.

For the sake of this commitment, the two even finally decided not to return to the First War Zone for the time being, not to destroy Han Xin, who humiliated them, and never to give up.

The paper couldn't hold the fire, and then, in order to cover the evacuation of the new group of wounded, Han Xin went to the danger in person and ambushed most of the devil's squadron by himself, and the entire second theater was once again in boiling and shock because of him.

First, there were all kinds of doubts, just like the battle for the fame of the new group of Lao Ye Temple, and then the intelligence agencies of all parties were overwhelmingly unfolded to seek the real situation at that time.

The result was naturally a big surprise, and the information that came was not only true, but also reserved.

As a result, while the Japanese wanted Han Xin's head more and more, and even increased the amount of Han Xin's head again, the reward from the national army was also uninvited.

Yan Xishan, commander-in-chief of the Second Theater of Operations, personally sent a telegram to commend:

Han Xin, commander of the new regiment of the 18th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, fought bravely and won the title of the three armies.

Then there was a round of greetings, using Han Xin's excuse to praise the contributions made by the Eighth Route Army in recent anti-Japanese wars, and implicitly affirmed the strategy of the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla warfare.

Finally, put forward the finishing touch: the Kuomintang and the Communist Party should work together to defeat the enemy in the Second War Zone, and discuss cooperation in various places in the near future.

On the side of the Eighth Route Army, the return of Han Xin, a figure who made many people admire, worry, worry, and curious, was naturally indispensable for everyone's warm welcome and reception.

Han Xin expressed his gratitude to everyone with a wry smile, and then walked in the direction of the new group without stopping.

Approaching the new group, he felt the faint sadness shrouded in the sky above the new group from a distance, Han Xin's heart calmed down again, and he paused for a moment with a little complicated, and then there was no hesitation, and he continued to move forward.

And the new regiment at this moment, as Han Xin felt, the entire regiment was filled with a sad atmosphere.

In the huge teaching field, there were only less than two hundred soldiers of the new regiment standing in line, and in front of the queue lay neatly rows of corpses covered with various colors of coarse cloth.

Cheng Tiger stood at the front of the line, on the far left of the row of corpses.

There was a huge grief on his face, and he was much thinner than when Han Xin first knew him.

Cheng Laohu's voice was very heavy, and he stood in front of the rows of corpses for a long time, and the tears that quietly slipped down were wiped away by him, and then he said in a low voice: "Comrades, be optimistic, it's not a big deal."

Our brothers are gone, but I know that they must have walked very calmly and proudly, they are all good, they are all heroes and martyrs......

Everyone should not be too sad, our situation is far from being so bad, although most of the comrades of the entire regiment have sacrificed, but our establishment is still there, and many cadres have been retained, and sooner or later there will be a day of resurgence.

The most important thing is that I think you have heard some rumors more or less, yes, it's our regiment leader, he is not dead, he is back! ”

"It's back, it's back!"

Cheng Tiger's voice echoed in the hearts of the warriors, and many of the warriors brightened their eyes, and their expressions, which were still a little sluggish, were rejuvenated with hope.

"Yes, we still have the regimental commander, as long as the regimental commander is here, our new regiment will always be there."

"Big boss, is the head of the regiment really coming back?"

A soldier asked worriedly, Cheng Laohu looked at the hope in the eyes of everyone who looked at him together, and sighed in his heart that he was not like this.

Then he said firmly: "Yes, the head of the regiment is coming back, but if you look at your deputy expression, won't the head of the regiment be disappointed?" So, don't cry like a little girl for Lao Tzu anymore, cheer me up to welcome the return of the head of the regiment!

A new mess is still waiting for us to rebuild! ”

"Big Brother Cheng!"

The familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Cheng Laohu, Cheng Laohu was stunned, and the tough guy who was originally shouting instantly turned red.

He trembled, turned around with difficulty, and his voice stirred up a burst of sorrow:

"Commander, you, you're finally back!"
