Chapter 137: The Handpicked Brigade Commander

Zhang Dongbei didn't expect that the chairman would want to talk to him, and he was suddenly nervous. Although he is a person from the future, and he also knows about [***] in some historical books and biographies, but at this moment, when he took the phone and heard the voice of the legendary first-generation leader of New China on the phone, Zhang Dongbei's hand holding the phone trembled with excitement.

"Xiao Zhang, I've heard a lot of rumors about you during this time, young man, that's good. Relying on a small amount of strength, Xiao Yueben suffered heavy losses, which is very set. To be honest, if it weren't for the distance, I would really like to go to Peng County to see you, I heard that you are only twenty-five years old this year, but you know a lot of things, especially in leading troops to fight. How is it, are you still used to it after joining the ranks of our Eighth Route Army? Did that guy Ming Zhao bully you, if he dares to bully you, you tell me directly, and I will settle accounts with him for you. The chairman laughed and joked on the other end of the phone.

Although he knew that the chairman was joking, Zhang Dongbei still hurriedly said: "The division commander is very good to me. Joining the ranks of the Eighth Route Army makes people feel like they are back in a big family, and all of us in the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team are very happy to have such a home. ”

"Hehe, it's good to get used to it, our Eighth Route Army itself is a team organized by people from poor backgrounds, and from now on, everyone will be comrades and good partners in fighting devils together." The chairman smiled with satisfaction.

After chatting a few more words, Zhang Dongbei handed over the phone to Liu Bocheng again, and the chairman said to Liu Bocheng: "Mingzhao, after the wolf's tooth special combat team joined your 129th Division, what kind of establishment is it?" ”

Liu Bocheng was stunned for a moment and said: "Chairman, the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team has just joined the 129th Division, and I haven't thought about the establishment and division yet." ”

The chairman said: "Mingzhao, I don't think you have to think about it. Just assign the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team to the 129th Division according to the brigade headquarters level, and the reading ability will be part of it, and you can directly obey your dispatch. ”

Liu Bocheng was shocked and said: "Chairman, I'm afraid this is not good, after all, in terms of numbers, the wolf's tooth special combat team is far from meeting the requirements of the brigade headquarters." ”

The chairman said with a smile: "Although the number of the wolf's tooth special combat team is a little less, but as their name suggests, they are a particularly strong combat team, holding Peng County, killing the Bantian brigade is the best proof, although their number is a little less, but their combat effectiveness is no less than a division." It's just that the 129th Division is just you and Lao Xu, and he has no choice but to be a brigade commander, and the most important thing is that with the ability of Zhang Dongbei and his wolf-tooth special combat team, the regiment commanders below can't suppress them at all. ”

Liu Bocheng was extremely surprised in his heart, although he also knew that the chairman was very fond of Zhang Dongbei in his heart, but he didn't expect that Zhang Dongbei would occupy such a heavy weight in the chairman's heart, but Liu Bocheng had no opinion on the integration of the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team into the 129th Division according to the establishment of the brigade headquarters, just as the chairman said, if the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team was directly incorporated into the regiment headquarters below, there really was no regiment commander in the 129th Division who could suppress these guys. If the relationship is not properly handled at that time, it is very likely that it will cause disharmony to the troops.

"Yes, Chairman. I understand. I'll announce that decision later. After hanging up the phone, Liu Bocheng said to Zhang Dongbei and others: "Just now the chairman said on the phone that from today onwards, the Langya Special Combat Team will be officially incorporated into our 129th Division, enjoying the treatment of the brigade department, and the Langya Special Combat Team is now officially renamed the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army. After reading out this decision, everyone present was in an uproar, many regimental and battalion-level cadres of the Eighth Route Army were envious and jealous of Zhang Dongbei, although there were many people who were not convinced, but there was no way, the brigade commander was specially sealed by the chairman, what an honor this is, no matter how unconvinced he was, everyone would not dare to show it, after all, people have really made great contributions.

Hearing this decision, Zhang Dongbei was also stunned, he didn't expect that he had just joined the Eighth Route Army, and he was promoted to brigade commander after a while, and he was still a little uncomfortable for a while.

Chen Geng congratulated: "Brigade Commander Zhang, you have to invite everyone to have a good drink." It's a great event. And the boss, you brought back a brigade commander for our 129th Division at once, and you also want to invite this wine. ”

Liu Bocheng said with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely invite this wine, but this period is not good." Make a note of it for me first, and I'll make it up when it's too peaceful. ”

Zhang Dongbei said with a smile: "Although we can't drink, but it just so happens that the people in the city are celebrating our victory today, so let's go and have a good time." ”

Since entering the city, along the way, a pile of firewood will be lit on the street every short distance, and the common people will gather around the fire, roasting freshly slaughtered fish, and the bursts of fragrance have long aroused the roundworms in the stomachs of these soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army is known for its hardship and simplicity, not to mention fish and meat, and even decent vegetables are rarely eaten, not that they don't have them, but they give all these things to the poor people, and they themselves eat wild vegetables dug from the ground. Fish and meat, when the situation is good, you can taste a little meat every year, but if there is a war or famine, then there is nothing.

So since entering the city just now, looking at the golden brown roasted by the common people on the fire, the meat pieces that are constantly dripping with oil, and smelling the rich fragrance, the stomachs of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army of the 129th Division have long growled, and they swallow saliva when they look at the fragrant food. If it weren't for discipline, these warriors would have been tempted to rush to the fire and get close to the common people. At this time, hearing Zhang Dongbei's suggestion, all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were grateful to him in their hearts, and some even praised him in their hearts as the reincarnation of Guanyin, knowing the suffering of these soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

At this moment, all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were staring at Liu Bocheng blankly, just waiting for Liu Bocheng to nod. Looking at the eager eyes of the soldiers, and considering that there was a big battle today, and there was still no grain of rice, Liu Bocheng finally nodded. Seeing that the boss nodded in agreement, thousands of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army thundered with joy, and when they were about to rush to the fires everywhere, Liu Bocheng shouted sternly: "Pay attention to the image of me, you are soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, don't make yourself like a bandit and robber." His roar made the noisy crowd suddenly quiet, and no one dared to make a sound again, and they all stood honestly in place, a little overwhelmed.

Zhang Dongbei said to Liu Bo: "Commander, originally this bonfire party was held in the city today to celebrate, if everyone is dead, it will be like a celebration there." Since it's a celebration party, you should be happy, so that there will be an atmosphere. ”

Seeing that the soldiers were indeed a little restrained at this time, Liu Bocheng also sighed in his heart and said: "Today you are the protagonist, just do what you say." ”

Zhang Dongbei smiled: "Thank you, Elder Shi." He turned his head and shouted to the soldiers: "Did you hear it, the boss just spoke, and I have the final say tonight." Listen to me, everybody, and have a blast. ”

Although the boss spoke, all the soldiers still looked at Liu Bocheng and didn't dare to make another attempt. Liu Bocheng sighed: "Remember, don't cause trouble to the people, you can go." ”

"Oh!" A cheer echoed through the streets. The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushed to the various fires on the streets. Seeing this group of soldiers laughing heartily from time to time in the crowd like immature children, Liu Bocheng couldn't help but have a relieved smile on his face.
