Although Zhao Changshou went to Japan to study, his understanding of the Japanese national identity is very superficial!

To put it bluntly, the vast majority of students studying in Japan in this era saw Japan's developed economy and strong national strength, and many of them chose the wrong path in life when the Japanese army invaded China.

Zhao Changshou can be regarded as one of the outstanding students in Japan who recognized the face of the Japanese invaders and rose up to fight!

On this Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Siming talked with Mei Ying, Xu Yan, and Zhao Changshou for a long time. It wasn't until Mei Ying's sleepy eyes couldn't open and she yawned that Xiao Siming let them go.

After the morning exercise the next morning, Xiao Siming received a telegram from the division headquarters, informing him that according to the Japanese puppet Beiping and Tianjin radio stations and newspapers, the independent battalion had killed Ishida Jinzo Daisa, the commander of the 119th Wing of the 118th Brigade of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army, and four other adjutants. All five were honored by the Emperor of Japan, and Ishida was posthumously awarded the rank of Major General. The 109th Division of the Japanese Army held a mourning ceremony in Yangquan. In addition, according to the report of the Enemy Engineering Department of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the Japanese army pulled back the clay pot containing ashes from Yangquan from the Nianzigou and Shishi Railway Station, and loaded five cars!

After reading the telegram, Xiao Siming smiled in his heart, and said in his heart This is the beginning, the one who was killed is only a big Zuo, and the major general who was posthumously awarded after his death is worthless, nothing. Looking back, I have to kill the real major generals and lieutenant generals of the Japanese army, and if I can capture or kill the generals and marshals of the Japanese army commander level like Terauchi Shouichi, Sugiyama Moto, Hata Shunroku, Okamura Ninji, and Umezu Mijiro, it will be really cool! Then you can live up to your soul crossing!

After reading the telegram from the division headquarters, Shi Poshan, the deputy instructor, immediately conveyed it to the companies. The independent battalion was immediately filled with laughter. If it weren't for the need for secrecy, maybe the soldiers would have to find a way to get firecrackers!

What Xiao Siming didn't know was that the little devils had never figured out which unit their opponent was, and said in the newspapers and radio stations that Ishida Jinzo was loyal to the emperor when he surrounded and annihilated the main force of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army. As a result, the large rear mass organizations that received the news from the Japanese army's radio and newspapers sent telegrams of congratulations to the headquarters of the 18th Group Army and the headquarters of the 115th Division.

As for the Eighth Route Army, after Wang Lushui's telegram was sent, because there was no independent regiment or independent battalion at the time of the reorganization, in order not to leave the Kuomintang side with the excuse of expanding the troops privately, the telegram to the Second Theater and the Military Commission that had been withdrawn to Wuhan also said that the 115th Division was the 115th Division, and did not mention the word "independent battalion." Therefore, the Zhu Jie telegrams from the headquarters of the commander of the Second Theater and the 14th Group Army retreating to Jinnan, including the Wuhan Military Commission, were sent to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the headquarters of the 115th Division.

In the entire Battle of Taiyuan, our army did not kill a single Japanese soldier. Excited, the 115th Division of the 18th Group Army was rewarded with electricity, and the 115th Division was rewarded with 100,000 yuan in legal currency!

When this money came into the hands of the Eighth Route Army in the future, it was directly left at the headquarters for unified use. There is no way, the military expenses issued by the Nationalist Government to the Eighth Route Army are not enough to eat! The troops of the Eighth Route Army are expanding so fast, there is a shortage of money everywhere! In the eyes of the leaders, the independent battalion had sufficient food and ammunition, and the 115th Division was supplied with ammunition from the independent battalion, and the conditions were much better than those of other units. So, the money is at the disposal of the headquarters!

What made Xiao Siming even more unexpected was that from then on, in the minds of the headquarters CEOs, he was an expert in making money, and when he needed to fight the autumn breeze, the first thing that came to mind was the words "Red Ghost Xiao Siming"!

Although the name of the "independent battalion" could not be mentioned when reporting to the Second Theater and the Nationalist Government, the Eighth Route Army system knew which unit fought the battle. Therefore, shortly after receiving the telegram from the division headquarters, the secret telegram of the general order and commendation from the headquarters arrived. Immediately afterwards, the Zhujie telegram from the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, the Fourth Division of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, the 129th Division, and the 120th Division flew in one go!

When Wang Lushui was there, Xiao Siming did not have the right to receive and send telegrams. As soon as Wang Lushui left, Xiao Siming, the battalion commander and instructor, became the real leader of the independent battalion, and he could report directly to the division headquarters, or directly contact the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the 129th Division, and the 120th Division.

Xiao Siming, who realized this, suddenly had a feeling of "once in power"!

So, Xiao Siming climbed on the table and personally drafted a reply to the headquarters, division headquarters, Jinchaji Military Region, 129th Division, and 120th Division, repeatedly thanking the leaders for their care, and saying that they must keep in mind the instructions and teachings of the leaders, make persistent efforts, and lead the independent battalion to resolutely fight against the invaders and resist the war to the end!

For a while, the whole army of the Eighth Route Army knew that the independent battalion of the 115th Division was a unit capable of fighting, and also knew that the red imp Xiao Siming had excellent marksmanship and was good at commanding!

Not only that, the division headquarters called to inform that the headquarters had sent Zhang Hao, political commissar of the 129th Division, who was about to return to Yan'an for treatment, to inspect the work of the independent battalion, and asked Xiao Siming to do a good job of guarding in advance to ensure the safety of political commissar Zhang Hao.

Fortunately, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army did not say the number of the independent battalion when it reported the victory to the Second Theater and the Military Commission, otherwise, I am afraid that Yan Xishan, the commander of the Second Theater, would also shoot a condolence group to comfort the troops, and maybe a film crew would come to make a movie like the victory in Parallel Pass, and let Xiao Siming pull the troops out, rearrange the troops, and make a movie!

That's it, Xiao Siming shouted in his heart that he was playing big, this time he was really big!

To let so many future founding generals send him a telegram of congratulations, for Xiao Siming, who has crossed the soul, it is really a big deal! Others don't know, but he knows very well in his heart that these telegrams of Zhu Jie, if they are preserved, will be extremely precious and important historical materials for future generations, and if they are auctioned, they will definitely be able to fetch sky-high prices!

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the troops are fighting and transferring continuously, and they urgently need to rest and recuperate. Deputy battalion commander Zheng Xiuchuan took three more platoons to escort Wang Lushui, and had to wait for them to return to the building. Xiao Siming was anxious and wanted to surprise the Japanese army again, and he had to be patient to rest in Mafang for a while.

The series of battles in the previous stage of the independent battalion was indeed well fought and brilliantly fought. However, in the eyes of the division commanders and headquarters commanders who have experienced a hundred battles, the series of victories of the independent battalion are all based on the skillful battles, on the correct command of Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui, and on the powerful firepower obtained by fighting and relying on capture! In fact, the independent battalion is a new unit, no different from other newly established units of the Eighth Route Army! Moreover, this army also has an Achilles' heel, that is, the composition is complex!

The real combat effectiveness of the independent battalion comes from the backbone and veterans of the old Red Army, and those recruits who have just joined the army can't even shoot accurately, so where is there any combat effectiveness to speak of? And the veterans are all the **** defeated soldiers rescued in Yuxian County, if they want to become real soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, there must be a process of education and transformation.

The transformation of education is completed during the rest and training of the troops!

If there is no strong ideological and political work, it is impossible for those veterans who originated from **** to consciously accept the leadership of our army and then completely melt into our army!

Therefore, after ordering the independent battalion to hand over the captured ammunition supply to the troops of the 129th Division, the headquarters and division headquarters did not give the independent battalion a combat mission. On the contrary, the division headquarters ordered the independent battalion to fight independently on the Zhengtai line!

The meaning of independent combat is to let the red imp Xiao Siming lead the independent battalion to hone in battle, fight when he seizes the fighter, hide it without the fighter, and continue to reorganize and train the troops.

Where could the head of the headquarters and the head of the 115th Division think that Xiao Siming, the red ghost in their eyes, had already died in the Pingxingguan ambush. The current Xiao Siming is a special operations elite in the 21st century who has crossed the soul and fused with the soul of the red ghost Xiao Siming, and Xiao Siming, a training staff officer, is basically two people. The original red ghost Xiao Siming, no matter how witty and brave he is, it is impossible for him to create such an impressive record like the current Xiao Siming!

After the main force of the Japanese 109th Division withdrew to Zhengtai Road, because it was impossible to figure out which Eighth Route Army unit was blocking them at Nianzigou and attacking the Shishi Railway Station, it lost the target of pursuit and retaliation, so it could only sweep and search on both sides of Zhengtai Road, mobilize forces to prepare to repair the Taohe Bridge, replenish the battle damage, and slowly lick the wounds.

In this way, the independent battalion had a relatively stable short period of recuperation in the horse square.

Just when Xiao Siming once again immersed himself in reorganizing the troops, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Hao, political commissar of the 129th Division, went to Mafang to inspect the work of the independent battalion.

Zhang Hao was the cousin of Commander Lin of the 115th Division, and also the guide of Commander Lin on the road of revolution, who played a key role in solving the problem of Zhang Guotao's establishment of a separate Central Committee, and was a person who made great contributions to the Chinese revolution.

Xiao Siming, who received the notice, personally took the guard company to Shiguai Town to greet Political Commissar Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao's face was thin, because of a headache, and he was wearing a brain booster on his head.

Xiao Siming took Zhang Hao's visit to the independent battalion very seriously. He knew that Political Commissar Zhang Hao was about to return to Yan'an, and after he returned, he would inevitably report to the Yan'an Headquarters on the work of the Eighth Route Army since it went to the battlefield of resistance against Japan and make suggestions. Therefore, Xiao Siming gathered all the troops, lined up, and accepted the review of Political Commissar Zhang Hao.

After the training of Yuxian County, the Nianzigou Resistance Battle, and the training of the test railway station, the whole battalion is like being reborn, with high morale and well-equipped, and in the eyes of Political Commissar Zhang Hao, it is already an elite unit!

Zhang Hao was very good at doing ideological work, otherwise, he would not have been able to persuade Zhang Guotao to cancel the establishment of a separate Central Committee and lead the Four Front Armies to the north and join the Central Committee in the name of the Comintern. In front of such a senior leader, Xiao Siming only listened to instructions, and rarely spoke except for seriously reporting his work.

During the meal, seizing the opportunity, Xiao Siming finally said one thing, that is, the **** soldiers rescued by the independent battalion in Yuxian County are basically the brothers of the 17th Division of the 3*8 Army of the Shaanxi Army and the 26th Route Army of Sun Lianzhong who retreated from the front line in Baoding, Hebei. Listening to these soldiers, Shandong and Hebei have strong martial habits on the ground, there are many civilian guns, and they are granaries, so it is more advantageous to pull troops there than in Shanxi. According to the current offensive situation of the Japanese army, the Hebei Plain, the Hebei-Lu border area, the western Luxi region, the central Luzhong and Jiaodong regions have formed behind the enemy's back, the Kuomintang army has withdrawn south, the regime has collapsed, and it has become anarchy, and the Japanese army is busy pursuing the main force along the railway line, and does not care about consolidating the occupied areas. These places are now almost in a vacuum!

Zhang Hao's chopsticks immediately stopped, put the rice bowl on the table, and asked Xiao Siming if the information was reliable?

Xiao Siming said that there was no need for intelligence in this matter, and that he only needed to send a telegram to the comrades in Shandong and Jizhong to verify it. He heard about it when he was talking to the soldiers, and these soldiers have now become real soldiers of the Eighth Route Army after education and combat training, and what they said should not be wrong!

Zhang Hao did not stay long in Mafang, and after inspecting the work of the independent battalion, he returned to Shiguai Town. He also had to rush to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Hongdong and return to Yan'an from Hongdong.
