Just when Wang Zhaoming was secretly determined and ready to wait for an opportunity to escape from the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, Wang Lushui, Xiao Siming, Huang Hua, Hu Qingyun, Huo Cheng, Ma Zhenhua, Li Qihua and other leaders entered the venue. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Today is the day of the establishment of the eastward advance detachment, Wang Lushui, Xiao Siming and others, all wearing gray Eighth Route Army uniforms, cleaned up, very energetic.

The first item was that Huo Cheng, member of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military and Political Committee and director of the Political Department of the Eastward Advance Detachment, read out the order of Yan'an and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters on expanding the eastward advance brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army into an eastward advance detachment.

After reading out the order for the expansion, Huo Cheng immediately read out the order on the appointment and dismissal of the division's political department, from Wang Lushui, Xiao Siming, Huang Hua, Hu Qingyun, and Huo Cheng to the detachment's organs, the first, second, third, and fourth regiments, the artillery regiment, the recruit regiment, the armored battalion, the heavy machine gun battalion, the cavalry battalion, the engineer battalion, the baggage battalion, the guard battalion, the reconnaissance company, the communications company, the field hospital, the field ambulance team, and the arsenal.

Next, it's time to honor the heroes of the battle.

Since Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui led the wounded squad of the 685th Regiment of the 115th Division to meet the enemy at the Tibetan Mountain Temple, they adopted ambush and attack tactics to severely damage the first brigade of the 136th Infantry Wing of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army that invaded Yuxian, recovered the county seat of Yuxian, and established an independent battalion of the 115th Division in Yuxian for military expansion and training. The newly established independent battalion inflicted heavy losses on the 119th Infantry Wing of the 118th Brigade of the 109th Division, known as the devil's unit, and killed its wing commander Ishida Kanazo Daisa, and then attacked and occupied the Zhengtai Road Stone Measuring Station and blew up the Taohe Railway Bridge, causing the traffic on Zhengtai Road to be interrupted for four months. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Siming led the independent battalion to conduct a long-distance attack, destroying the Japanese Taiyuan airfield and blowing up 48 Japanese planes. Then swept through Yuxian and eliminated a brigade of the Japanese army and a garrison brigade of the puppet army stationed in Yuxian. The unit was then expanded into a regimental advance brigade for the eastward advance. Then there was the battle to annihilate the cavalry wing of the 16th Division of the Japanese army before advancing eastward. After leaving Taihang, the eastward advance brigade swept through the mountainous areas in the western part of Xingtai and eliminated the head of the bandit Liu Mo in Tiankou Town by the Fuyang River. Then it was to advance to the Jilu border, the first battle of Lianzhen, successively capture Ningjin, Qingyun, Wudi, Yanshan, Yangxin County, and reorganize Zhang Ziliang's troops, Liu Yanchen's troops, Cao Zhendong's eastern Hebei and Shandong border wandering forces.

This is a heroic unit and a glorious unit, which has played the inviolable military might of our army in successive battles and victories, and has greatly encouraged the anti-Japanese fighting spirit of the people of the whole country!

The 31st detachment, since its establishment, is not afraid of strong enemies, fired the first shot of the Hebei and Shandong border anti-Japanese war, has successively recovered Yanshan City, Wudi City, Leling City, in the war has been tempered and grown, in the Hebei and Shandong border set up the banner of anti-Japanese salvation!

Compared with the brilliant results of the original eastward advance brigade, the results of the 31st team were much smaller. However, that is also a song and a crying result!

When the independent battalion was established, in Yuxian County, the newly born Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region once commended the independent battalion, and also awarded Xiao Siming the title of "Special Combat Hero" to the Jin-Chahar-Hebei Border Region, and awarded a gold medal. Later, the Eastward Advance Brigade and its predecessor, the Independent Battalion, had no chance to commend the combat heroes because they had been in the midst of the campaign, and the main force of the 115th Division was also in the midst of the campaign. Now, although the base area of the Jilu Border Region is a start-up, it already has seven counties: Ningjin, Leling, Qingyun, Wudi, Yangxin, Yanshan, and Deping.

The order commending the combat heroes was read out by Ma Zhenhua, a member of the Jilu Border Military and Political Committee.

Due to the need for secrecy, the commendation order only replaced the battles before the advance detachment advanced to the Jilu border with previous battles, and only the battles after the eastward advance to the Jilu border were clearly stated.

This time, Jilubian was not awarded the title of "Special Battle Hero". The reason is very simple, the advance detachment fought all skillful battles, and basically did not fight hard with the little devils, so it is impossible to have particularly heroic heroes such as the five heroes of Langya Mountain in the Jin-Cha-Ji period, Liu Laozhuang Company of the New Fourth Army, Dong Cunrui in the Liberation War, and Huang Jiguang during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. The only ones who can deserve this title should be Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui, who led the army to successive victories and made great achievements. However, one of them is the secretary of the Jilu Border Military and Political Committee and the political commissar of the advance detachment, and the other is the deputy secretary of the Jilu Border Military and Political Committee and the commander of the advance detachment.

A total of 16 people were awarded the title of "First-Class Combat Heroes of the Hebei-Shandong Border Region", including Qiu Wei, commander of the first regiment, Zhang Huaide, political commissar, Chen Minghui, chief of staff, Cao Ming'an, commander of the second regiment, Chu Zhenan, chief of staff, Wang Meng, commander of the third regiment, Zhang Pengfei, chief of staff, Deng Wenli, commander of the new regiment, Zhao Xiuchuan, commander of the artillery regiment, Liu Li, political commissar, Zhao Fufu, deputy regiment commander, Yuan Gang, commander of the armored battalion, Mou Guangyao, commander of the heavy machine gun battalion, Wang Shengli, instructor of the heavy machine gun battalion, Wang Quanyou, commander of the reconnaissance company, and Chen Desheng, commander of the guard battalion.

These 16 people, Zhao Xiuchuan, commander of the artillery regiment, Zhao Fufu, deputy commander of the regiment, and Mou Guangyao, commander of the heavy machine gun battalion, were transferred from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region when the independent battalion was established, and the others were all the combat backbones of the 685 Regiment of the wounded squad recuperating from the Tibetan Mountain Temple.

Although Zhao Xiuchuan, commander of the artillery regiment, Zhao Fufu, deputy commander of the regiment, and Mou Guangyao, commander of the heavy machine gun battalion, arrived at the independent battalion a little later, in all subsequent battles, the command of the artillery team and the heavy machine gun team played an important role, and the combat exploits were also very prominent!

Outsiders don't know, they may think that Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming are eccentric, and they have awarded all the special heroes to these main cadres. In fact, when these cadres engaged the enemy in the Tibetan Mountain Temple, they were all squad and platoon leaders of the original 685 Regiment, and they were all fighting with machine guns and rifles with little devils. Without them, Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming would not have been able to lead the wounded squad to Yuxian County!

The battle-hardened backbone of the Red Army, the individual combat effectiveness of one person, withstood the lack of training of guerrilla fighters a few, or even a dozen!

After the sixteen first-class combat heroes, there are twenty-four second-level combat heroes, all of whom are from the old Red Army fighting backbone of the former eastward advance brigade!

After the list of combat heroes was read out, it was a list of meritorious service, first-class meritorious service, second-class meritorious service, and third-class meritorious service, including the cadres and soldiers of the former Eastward Advance Brigade and the 31st Detachment.

Yan Rou also attended today's meeting and stood in the queue of the Jilu Border Military and Political School.

What Yan Rou didn't expect was that she was among the list of meritorious service personnel read out, and she was also a second-class meritorious service!

After returning from Tianjin, Yan Rou went to the logistics office to report for work, and never saw Xiao Siming again.

The work of the logistics department is very complicated, and the director Shi Poshan is very busy, and suddenly a Yan Rou, who is good at financial management, has added a right-hand man out of thin air! It's okay now, Yan Rou is busy from beginning to night every day, and her life is very fulfilling, and she has no time to think about Xiao Siming anymore.

What Yan Rou didn't expect was that Shi Poshan saw that she was educated, had strong financial management ability, and was a material that could be made, so he recommended it to the Political Department and sent Yan Rou to study at the Jilu Border Military and Political School, which was regarded as training her as a cadre.

Xiao Siming's task for Yanrou was to develop the business system of the base area. But she is too busy now, not only to study, but also to find time to go back to the logistics office to help, and there is no spare time. Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army controlled seven counties along the Jilu border, and commercial activities naturally resumed after public buying and selling. In the city of Xiangleling, because the headquarters of the advance detachment is here, the military and political school of the Jilu border is here, and all kinds of newly established organs are here, there are many people and great demand, and the business of those shops and restaurants is good, and there are business shops open almost every day. Gradually, the business in Leling City actually regained its vitality, and it was better than before the Anti-Japanese War!

In addition to fighting devils and traitors, the Eighth Route Army also eliminated bandits. Those bandits who have been rampant on the Jilu border for a long time are now honest, and they dare not run rampant as in the past, blocking roads and robbing, kidnapping and tearing up tickets; some guys saw that the wind was tight, so they ran to take refuge in the Japanese puppets as traitors, and some bandits disappeared and hid, and the public order in the base area was unprecedentedly good for a time.

The most important thing is that the Eighth Route Army did not pay taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and those who did business in Leling City only paid one kind of tax, that is, business tax.

When the social order in the base areas is good and there are no exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, commercial activities will naturally be active. Not to mention anything else, just selling seafood, there are several in Leling City now.

Although this place is close to the sea, it is prone to drought and there are many poor people. There are so many fish and shrimp in Bohai Bay, they can be fished out and transported to the county seat and market town to exchange money, and they can also make up for the lack of rations, and there are naturally more fishers, fish sellers, and fish sellers.

Although Shi Poshan and Yan Rou didn't have time to investigate and study these situations in detail, they knew about the good things in the market.

Yan Rou is the eldest lady of the Yan family, a famous family in Taiyuan, who is familiar with business operations, and still ponders in her heart that after graduating from the military and political school, she will set up a trading company and set up points in Tianjin, Jinan, Dexian, Botou, and Cangxian counties, and exchange salt, seafood, cotton, and dates from the base areas for coal, grain, cloth, and daily necessities.

As for the trading of steel and gasoline, Yan Rou didn't even think about it, she knew that it was a Japanese contraband, and it could only be obtained through combat capture.

Yan Rou wanted to make some achievements in the Eighth Route Army, so that Xiao Siming could see that she was no worse than Xiao Siming's sweetheart Mei Ying!

At this moment, Yan Rou, who was standing in the queue, suddenly heard that she was on the list of meritorious personnel, and she was a second-class meritorious service, and immediately thought that this was to reward her performance in participating in the decoy operation to annihilate the 20th Cavalry Wing of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army in Mafang Town and participating in the battle to blow up the Ziya River Bridge.

As soon as she thought of this, Yan Rou couldn't help but look at Xiao Siming, and a trace of ripples appeared in her heart, as if she thought of the scene when she and Xiao Siming were riding together by the Ziya River, and her pretty face was suddenly dyed a touch of crimson! (To be continued.) )
