On the afternoon of 5 March, the 115th Division's eastward advance brigade held a cadre meeting in Shiguai Town, which was attended by cadres above the squad leader level of the former independent battalion and all members of the cadre team. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huo Cheng, director of the Political Department of the Eastward Advance Brigade, conveyed the order of the 115th Division on the establishment of the Eastward Advance Brigade and the order of the General Political Department of the 18th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army on the appointment of Wang Lushui, Xiao Siming, Huang Hua, Hu Qingyun, and Huo Cheng, and read out the order of the Military and Political Committee of the Eastward Advance Brigade on the appointment of leaders of departments directly under the brigade and battalions and companies.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the venue was mobilized at once, although they were all soldiers, this was at the venue again, the captain, political commissar, deputy captain, chief of staff, and director of the political department were all sitting at the venue, no one dared to make a loud noise or talk to each other, but the scene of everyone's eyes shining and full of excitement was there, all recorded by Mei Ying's camera lens.

Hu Qingyun, the new chief of staff of the 115th Division's eastward advance brigade, conveyed the commendation orders for the surprise attack on Taiyuan Airport and the battle of Shouyang by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the independent battalion of the 115th Division of the 115th Division.

The cadres of the cadres attending the meeting knew that the Eighth Route Army, which destroyed Taiyuan Airport and captured Shouyang County, was an independent battalion!

It is a pity that because the independent battalion has always been in combat and movement, and the troops are constantly expanding, and the name "independent battalion" is not recognized by the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government and the Second Theater, the division headquarters and the headquarters will not report it, and the combat heroes will not be praised by the Nationalist Government!

Last time in Yuxian County, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region was also commended for the independent battalion that recaptured the county seat of Yuxian County and achieved brilliant results in the initial stage, awarded the independent battalion the title of "Yuxian Hero Battalion", awarded Xiao Siming the title of "Jin-Chahar-Hebei Border Region Special Combat Hero", awarded a gold medal, awarded Wang Lushui and Chen Yisheng the title of "Jin-Chahar-Hebei Border Region First-Class Combat Hero", Qiu Wei, Yuan Gang and other 11 people were awarded the "Jin-Chahar-Hebei Border Region Second-Class Combat Hero Title", Zheng Xiuchuan, Shi Poshan and other 22 people were awarded" The title of third-level combat hero in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region".

The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region is a first-class anti-Japanese democratic government, and it is famous for its praise of those who have made meritorious contributions to the Japanese and the enemy. The results of the independent battalion's ensuing battle of Nianzigou, the attack on the stone measuring station, the destruction of Taiyuan Airport, and the occupation of Shouyang County were all very large, exceeding the results of the battle of Yuxian. However, the headquarters of the 115th Division was in the process of changing to war, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was also in the process of changing to war, and the 115th Division at this time did not create its own consolidated base area, and it could not declare its combat exploits to the Second Theater and the Nationalist Government for the supernumerary "independent battalion", so it had to issue an internal general order to commend it!

This is a mobilization meeting for the eastward march, and if there is a procedure for awarding flags and awarding medals as in Yuxian County, the mood of the cadres and fighters can be imagined!

Immediately afterwards, political commissar Wang Lushui made a mobilization speech.

Wang Lushui enjoyed high prestige among the cadres of the former independent battalion. The reason is very simple, he is one of the main founders of this army, and together with Xiao Siming, he led the troops from the Tibetan Mountain Temple in Yuxian County to the stone measuring station on Zhengtai Road, and after transferring to Mafang, he said goodbye to the cadres and soldiers, returned to the division headquarters and returned to the team, and served as the political commissar of the supplementary regiment.

Now that the old leader has returned to serve as the political commissar of the 115th Division's eastward advance brigade, which was expanded from an independent battalion, the cadres are naturally very happy. No, as soon as Wang Lushui opened his mouth to say "comrades", the cadres of the former independent battalion at the venue applauded warmly!

Xiao Siming smiled on his face, turned his head sideways and said to Wang Lushui: "Political commissar, the applause represents the voice of the cadres and soldiers!" ”

Wang Lushui was very strict, and quickly stood up and saluted the cadres at the venue!

The applause is getting more and more enthusiastic!

After the applause stopped, Wang Lushui began to speak, first talking about the situation of the War of Resistance after the fall of Taiyuan, Jinan, and Nanjing, then talking about the current situation in the Shanxi battlefield, and finally began to talk about the importance of the eastward advance.

After talking about the importance of the eastward expansion, Wang Lushui put forward requirements for the expansion of the troops, asking the cadres to obey the assignment, happily embark on new posts, and quickly carry out their work; The cadres are required to effectively control the troops and convey the importance of the eastward advance to every soldier; It is called for further strengthening the ideological and political work of the troops, so that the fighters can understand the responsibility of resisting Japan and killing the enemy and defending the homeland and the country. All units are required to make use of the precious time for correction and get a good grasp of the training, especially the recruit companies of the recruit corps, first of all, to teach the soldiers the essentials of shooting, throwing grenades, grenades, and assassination, to have the ability to protect themselves, and to be able to play a part of their role at critical times.

When talking about strengthening political and ideological work, Wang Lushui briefed the cadres on the defection of a small number of cadres by Zhang Shaodong, former commander of the 687th Regiment of the 344 Brigade, and Lan Guoqing, former chief of staff, and informed Zhou Kun, chief of staff of the division, about leaving the unit with money, and further stressed the necessity of conducting traditional education in the Red Army and the necessity of strengthening discipline.

These two incidents were reported on the orders of the division headquarters, and the cadres must be let know that they must be prepared to prevent Zhang Shaodong and Secretary Lan from deceiving the troops and engaging in sabotage activities, causing even greater losses!

The atmosphere at the venue became tense all of a sudden, and the cadres present must have been greatly shaken, their nerves were tensed, and there were no more smiles on their faces.

Wang Lu crossed the Pingxiang Normal School in Jiangxi Province, joined the Communist Youth League at the age of 13, and after becoming a member of the Red Army, he worked from squad leader to political commissar of the regiment, and was a cadre with both civil and military skills. If he is responsible for the ideological mobilization of the cadres to move eastward, it must be clearly organized, clearly hierarchical, and audible!

As soon as Mo Shan, the new deputy director of the Political Department and instructor of the Fourth Battalion, finished his speech, he stood up and led the cadres to shout the slogan: "Go to the rear of the enemy and create an anti-Japanese base area!" "Support the anti-Japanese national united front!" "Get the devils out of China!"

Xiao Siming, the new commander of the 115th Division's eastward advance brigade, began to speak.

During this time, due to the successive battles, Xiao Siming's mood was very good, coupled with the good food in the army, he practiced the Yijin Jing diligently, and he grew very fast, vaguely as if he had already reached 1.73 meters, standing in front of the square table in the middle of the courtyard, although he looked a little thin, but full of energy!

The applause of the cadres rang out again, including the cadres of the cadre team, this time they also began to applaud warmly, and the applause lasted for a long time!

After the applause subsided, Xiao Siming said with a smile: "Why do I see that the word 'treat' is written on everyone's faces!" ”

The cadres burst into laughter!

The atmosphere at the meeting was immediately lively, and the oppressive atmosphere affected by the reported defection of Zhang Shaodong and Secretary Lan and the incident of Zhou Kun, chief of staff of the division, leaving the team, was swept away!

Xiao Siming waved his hand to stop the laughter of the cadres, and still said with a smile: "The troops have won the battle, their strength has grown, and the cadres have been promoted!" The company commander is promoted to battalion commander, the platoon commander is promoted to company commander, the squad leader is promoted to platoon commander, and the combat backbone is the squad leader! This is a good thing, which shows that we fought well, played the prestige of the Eighth Route Army, and suppressed the arrogance of the Japanese army! ”

Huo Cheng, director of the Political Department, immediately stood up, raised his arms and shouted: "Down with Japanese imperialism!" "The War of Resistance will be won!"

The cadres followed and chanted slogans.

After shouting the slogan, Xiao Siming continued: "Just when the three main divisions of our Eighth Route Army were deploying behind enemy lines, letting go of the masses, creating anti-Japanese base areas, and expanding their strength like a snowball, a few people in our team could not see the future of victory in the War of Resistance, were pessimistic and disappointed, and lost the spirit of struggle, Zhou Kun, chief of staff of the division, left the team, and Zhang Shaodong, head of the 687th Regiment, and Lan Guoqing, chief of staff, coerced a small number of cadres into defecting, creating the first defection incident since the reorganization of the Eighth Route Army!" It's not a big deal, it's going to rain, the mother is going to get married, let him go! Our resistance to Japan is to expel the Japanese invaders, save the nation from peril, and save the country, that is, to fight with the Japanese army with our sacrifices, our blood and lives, in exchange for the victory of the War of Resistance! Those who are not determined, pessimistic and disappointed, and want to defect, hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu, the faster and sooner the better, don't delay Lao Tzu to fight against Japan and fight devils! It's just that such a guy don't hit my Xiao Siming's muzzle, Lao Tzu's bullet doesn't recognize people! ”

may be a little excited, when Xiao Siming spoke, his arms waved, history will be the one who has long lost his smile, and his voice is full of power, as if Zhang Shaodong and Lan Guoqing, two rebel generals, are standing in front of him!

Xiao Siming said that since he went to the anti-Japanese battlefield, the conditions were much better than during the Red Army period, and the common people supported the anti-Japanese army, took out all the rice and noodles they were reluctant to eat to supply the army, and hoped that the soldiers would win the battle and drive out the devils as soon as possible. As for the little devil, when he arrived on the battlefield in China, he was unfamiliar with the place, his eyes were black, and the Eighth Route Army won the ambush neatly, and it was able to seize not only Japanese-style weapons and ammunition, but also canned beef, rice, white flour and medicines, and the troops' equipment and food were also improved. Under such conditions, Zhang Shaodong and Lan Guoqing still violated discipline and violated policies to engage in the fight against local tyrants, to prostitute * prostitutes, to hook up with women, and after the matter was revealed, they did not repent, did not take the initiative to report and review, but coerced a small number of cadres to defect, which can only show that the two of them have become bad in nature, and they are no longer worthy of being cadres of the Eighth Route Army, and they are veritable shameful traitors!

What will happen to Zhang Shaodong and Secretary Lan after they defect?

Xiao Siming said that no army in the world will tolerate traitors. It is conceivable that after Zhang Shaodong and Lan Guoqing defected, there would be no good end! They were either slaughtered by the Japanese army or dealt with by ****, there is no third way to go!

Xiao Siming said that the independent battalion of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army is a glorious unit, which originated from the glorious Second Red Division of the Central Red Army and the glorious 685 Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and was gradually developed on the basis of the wounded squad of the 685th Regiment in the Pingxingguan Campaign. As soon as the independent battalion was established, it was awarded the title of "Yuxian Hero Battalion" by the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region, and then it fought the Nianzigou Blockade Battle, severely damaged the Japanese 119th Wing, known as the "Devil Force", and killed the Japanese Wing Captain Ishida Jinzo Daisa! Then went south to Zhengtai Road, attacked and occupied the Shishi Railway Station in one fell swoop, blew up the Taohe Railway Bridge, and seized a large number of weapons and ammunition, causing Zhengtai Road to be unable to open to traffic so far!
