After listening to Shen Yuquan's words, not only Nie Rongzhen and the military chiefs of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region were stunned, but even Han Yunhua asked in disbelief: "Old Shen, do our troops have so many heavy weapons?" ”

Shen Yuquan said with a smile: "Yes, this is still counted a few days ago, and some things have been equipped to the troops in the past few days, but due to time constraints, it has not had time to count yet." ”

Nie Rongzhen asked suspiciously: "Yunhua, where did you get so many weapons and equipment troops, I remember that the predecessor of your unit was the new regiment of the 386 Brigade of the 129th Division, I have been to that regiment before, the weapons and equipment are very poor, even Hanyang can not reach one person, why in just two and a half months, your troops have developed to such a point, this is incredible." ”

Han Yunhua said slowly: "It's because the weapons and equipment are too poor, so the last time we met the 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Yue Army, we didn't even have a chance to fight back. In less than an hour, the new regiment was almost completely annihilated, and the regiment commander, political commissar, deputy chief of staff, three battalion commanders, six company commanders, 15 platoon commanders, and more than 800 soldiers were martyred, and I and Chief of Staff Ye Baoguo were seriously wounded. So, since then, I've always wanted to equip my troops with as many heavy weapons as possible. I know that our country's industry is backward and it is simply not possible to produce advanced weapons, but I know that although we do not have it in our hands, we have a lot in the hands of devils. So all the weapons and equipment of my department were captured from the devils through battle. ”

Nie Rongzhen sighed and said, "Yunhua, it's not easy! I can develop the army like this, I am not as good as you! When I separated from Division Commander Lin, I took part of the old foundation of the 115th Division, and asked for a special service regiment and cavalry battalion from the headquarters. ”

Han Yunhua said: "Commander Nie, don't say that, I know that it is not easy for you to be built, the base area has just been built, there are many difficulties, the troops have been moving and fighting, and there is no time to develop. However, the battle to defend the base area has already ended with our victory, and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region will usher in a period of steady development in the future, and at that time, the troops' personnel and supplies will be guaranteed. So don't be presumptuous. This time, our Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment prepared a gift for the headquarters and your military region, and because of time constraints, we could not go anywhere to the headquarters, and Commander Nie could send the gifts to the headquarters for us. ”

"Hehe, and what about the gifts from our military region? What are these things, I hope Yunhua can support us with some weapons and equipment. Nie Rongzhen said with a smile.

Han Yunhua said: "Our gifts to the headquarters are 10,000 Type 38 rifles, 500 crooked machine guns, 200 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 30 mortars, 100 grenadiers, more than 3 million rounds of various bullets, more than 3,000 shells, 100,000 melon grenades, more than 1 million catties of grain, 300 boxes of military canned food, more than 10,000 sets of military uniforms and cotton clothes, a car of gold, four cars of silver dollars, more than 300 carriages equipped with mules, and a number of other military supplies. Regardless of Nie Rongzhen's inability to digest and digest it, Han Yunhua continued: "The gifts that our Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment gave to you from the Jinchaji Military Region are 3,000 Type 38 rifles, 1,900 formal rifles, 80 crooked machine guns, 50 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 10 mortars, 50 grenadiers, more than 1 million rounds of various bullets, 500 shells, 30,000 melon grenades, more than 300,000 catties of grain, 50 boxes of military canned food, 5,000 sets of military uniforms and cotton clothes, gold and silver, these things are too suspicious. That's why I won't give it to you. ”

Nie Rongzhen excitedly took Han Yunhua's hand and said, "Yunhua, brother, I thank you!" This makes me happier than giving me gold and silver, and with this batch of weapons, I can double the size of my base in the shortest possible time. ”

sat until dark, and under the reminder of the captain Yang Chengwu, everyone remembered to eat. The dinner was very rich, although it was not a big fish and meat, but a large pot of stewed canned vegetables, a small pot of braised pork, and white rice still made these senior generals of the Eighth Route Army feel very satisfied.

Han Yunhua did not stay in the Jinchaji Military Region for long, and as soon as it was dark the next night, Han Yunhua set out from Fengzhuang with his troops and began to return to the Daqingshan base area. The reason is that under the instructions of Yan'an, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army accepted the proposal of the Kuomintang Military and Political Department to expand Han Yunhua's department into a brigade, with Han Yunhua as the brigade commander, Shen Yuquan as the political commissar, and Ye Baoguo as the chief of staff. and also accepted the number of the Kuomintang's 77th Brigade, so the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army ordered Han Yunhua to rush back to Daqingshan to reorganize the troops as soon as possible, and report the military and political chiefs of each regiment to the headquarters for the record.

Originally, the headquarters still had doubts about Han Yunhua's division being upgraded to a brigade, although the Mengji anti-Japanese detachment had been winning battles during this time, it killed 10,000 enemies and injured 8,000 themselves, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was afraid that Han Yunhua's division would suffer heavy losses and could not be upgraded to a brigade-level military unit. However, after receiving a gift from Han Yunhua, coupled with Nie Rongzhen's report to the head of the headquarters about the specific situation of Han Yunhua's department, the head of the headquarters unanimously decided to upgrade Han Yunhua's department to a brigade.

When they came, they were slow to march because of the shackles of captured supplies. But when they returned, they all marched lightly, and when they passed Yangyuan, they picked up the weapons and equipment buried in the nearby mountains, but in front of more than 6,000 people, those seizures were too few, and each person took a little and took them all.

After six days and six nights of rapid marching, Han Yunhua and the others finally returned to the Daqingshan base area. After returning to Daqingshan, Han Yunhua could not take a break, and immediately convened a military meeting of military and political chiefs above the rank of captain.

In the conference room, Han Yunhua, Shen Yuquan, Ye Baoguo, Li Dayong, captain of the first brigade, Wang Jian, captain of the second brigade, Hu Tao, captain of the third brigade, Chen Shangming, captain of the fourth brigade, Li Yaoguo, captain of the fifth brigade, Tu Qiangguo, captain of the guard brigade, Liu Wenhua, captain of the machine gun brigade, and Xue Legge, captain of the cavalry brigade, as well as Jia Jinyuan, commander of the fourth battalion, Wan Guoquan, commander of the fifth battalion, and Li Wanlong, commander of the artillery battalion, discussed the issue of troop establishment.

In the end, it was unanimously decided to reorganize all the units in the entire base area into three reinforced field regiments, one cavalry regiment, one artillery regiment, one fire support regiment, one guard company directly under the brigade headquarters, and one special operations brigade. Each reinforced field regiment consisted of three reinforced battalions of 4 companies, a guard company, a machine gun company, a mortar company, and a baggage company, with a total of 2,500 men. The cavalry regiment consisted of three cavalry battalions with a full strength of 390 men, with a total of 1,217 men. The artillery regiment is composed of two mortar battalions, a combined battalion of mountain artillery and field artillery, the whole regiment is equipped with a total of 85 mortars, 12 mountain artillery, and 9 field artillery, with a total of 1,250 people in the whole regiment, and the fire support regiment is composed of three heavy machine gun battalions equipped with 40 heavy machine guns each, with a total of 1,570 people in the whole regiment, and only 156 people in the guard company directly under the brigade headquarters, but everyone is an elite in the army, and was transferred by Shen Yuquan to protect Han Yunhua's safety.

The special operations brigade is an idea of Han Yunhua, who plans to personally train a special operations unit to carry out special tasks after the reorganization of the troops. Due to the limited number of personnel at present, each of the three reinforced field regiments now owes one battalion and two companies.

As for the military commander Han Yunhua, Li Dayong was appointed commander of the 88th Regiment, Hu Tao was appointed political commissar, Wang Jian was appointed commander of the 99th Regiment, Li Yaoguo was appointed political commissar, Chen Shangming was appointed head of the Reading Power Regiment, Jia Jinyuan was appointed political commissar, Xi Legge was appointed commander of the cavalry regiment, Wan Guoquan was appointed political commissar, Liu Wenhua was appointed commander of the fire support regiment and political commissar He Tao, former leader of the No. 1 Squadron of the Machine Gun Brigade, and Li Wanlong was appointed commander of the artillery regiment and Jiang Wanhu, former deputy commander of the artillery battalion, was appointed political commissar.

The reorganized 77 Brigade has become a behemoth with six regiments totaling more than 9,500 people, far exceeding the establishment of one brigade.

At this time, Han Yunhua's power to increase the number of deputy commanders in the army was revealed, as soon as the army was expanded, the original main post was promoted, and the deputy post was changed to the main post, although the whole expansion was busy, it was not panicked at all, everything was so orderly.

After receiving Han Yunhua's reorganization report and the list of military and political commanders, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was another scene.

Commander-in-Chief Zhu said with emotion: "This kid is always so generous, a brigade of more than 9,500 people is not full, and there are cavalry regiments, artillery regiments, and fire support regiments, it's amazing!" The family background is much thicker than ours! ”

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng said: "This bastard boy really dares to do it, he has six regiments in one brigade, which is the establishment of a B division of the Kuomintang, if he reports to the Ministry of Military Affairs like this, he will not be immediately upgraded to a division." ”

Deng Lao also said: "Boss, let him hide a few regiments, on the one hand, he can avoid unnecessary trouble, and on the other hand, he can confuse the enemy." ”

Commander-in-Chief Zhu thought for a while and said: "I think it should be otherwise, the 77th Brigade of Reading Force claims to have two small regiments of 1,200 people, a cavalry battalion of 300 people, and a total of 2,560 people in the whole brigade. ”

"I see it"

"That's it"

The Eighth Route Army was busy here, and the Yue Army was not idle, although it suffered a certain setback in attacking the Eighth Route Army, but the entire North China Dispatch Army still achieved fruitful results, and the Yue Army that attacked Shanxi not only took Taiyuan, but also went all the way south to attack the hinterland of Henan, and the Yue Army that attacked Shandong almost captured the entire territory of Shandong, and Han Fuqu, chairman of the Kuomintang Political Axe Shandong, held hundreds of thousands of heavy troops in his hands, and collapsed without a fight, and the Kuomintang political axe was a flood of bad reviews for a while.
