Chapter 447: Establishment of the New Second Brigade

When Sun Weiguo returned to the regimental headquarters of Biguan County, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, and the county was shrouded in darkness, and some houses lit kerosene lamps, but the dim light emitted by kerosene lamps could not illuminate the darkness.

The regiment headquarters was located in the county government in the center of the county, and at the same time, the local comrades of the Eighth Route Army also began to prepare for the establishment of an anti-Japanese base area.

Sun Weiguo returned to the regiment headquarters exhausted, Shen Wei was standing in front of the map, looking at Shen Wei's obviously much thinner body, Sun Weiguo couldn't help showing a guilty expression on his face.

For Sun Weiguo, he hopes that the war can make women go away, but at present, China is in danger of destroying the country and extinction, and everyone has the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war, this is not a war exclusive to men, China is now regardless of men, women and children, everyone is contributing their own strength to the war of resistance.

"Weiguo, you're back, this is a message from Mr. Zhu and Vice President Peng, take a look."

Hearing the footsteps behind her, Shen Wei glanced back, and when she saw Sun Weiguo, a smile appeared on her face.

Shen Wei is a few years older than Sun Weiguo, even if Shen Wei has experience in commanding operations, but in terms of command, Shen Wei will never interfere with Sun Weiguo, she is seriously responsible for the ideological work of the officers and soldiers of the First Reserve Regiment, the First Reserve Regiment has such a strong combat effectiveness, Shen Wei also has merit.

Sun Weiguo nodded, he took the telegram and looked at it, after seeing the content of the telegram, Sun Weiguo kept cursing the chairman and Chief Yan for being stingy in his heart, although they gave a brigade number, but they did not give any regimental number, it was obvious that they planned to let this new second brigade only have one infantry regiment under its jurisdiction.

Mr. Zhu and Vice President Peng gave the number of the eight battalions of the new Second Brigade, which was obviously more than the two regiments, but Sun Weiguo was still not satisfied.

"We also need an armored battalion, a cavalry battalion is too weak as a mobile force, Yin Jinshan's armored company will be expanded into an armored battalion, anyway, we still have some tanks, and the gasoline fuel problem can also be solved." After reading the message, Sun Weiguo looked at Shen Wei, and he said softly.

Shen Wei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that she was not satisfied with the establishment of eight battalions, you must know that even the brigade-level units in the three regular divisions of the Eighth Route Army are only six battalions, and Mr. Zhu and Vice President Peng specially approved eight battalions for Sun Weiguo, but they took the greatest care of Sun Weiguo.

But now that Sun Weiguo has taken the initiative to add an armored battalion, counting the communications company, the engineer company, and other directly subordinate units, the number of the newly formed Second Brigade is probably more than 10 battalions.

However, Shen Wei did not object to Sun Weiguo's decision, and she also knew that since the head of the headquarters had given the new Second Brigade eight battalions, it was to make the new Second Brigade the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and she felt that Mr. Zhu and Vice President Peng must have some arduous tasks to be handed over to the new Second Brigade.

From the eight battalions drawn up by Deputy General Peng, Sun Weiguo expanded an armored battalion by himself, so that the newly formed Second Brigade had an establishment of nine battalions.

At present, the leaders of the regiment headquarters are all together, and after it was decided that the unit should be expanded into an armored battalion, Sun Weiguo asked everyone to sit together and began to discuss the appointment of officers in each department.
