After the meeting, after dinner, Wang Lushui led Xiao Siming to the cadres drawn from the headquarters, division headquarters, 343 brigade, and Kang University graduates. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although this 100-person cadre team comes from the headquarters, division headquarters, 343 brigade, and Kang Da graduates, it is mainly composed of Kang Da graduates who go to the front line with the headquarters.

The cadres are heavy, there are 64 military cadres, 50 of whom are graduates who went to the front line with the headquarters after graduating from the Qingyang Infantry School in the second phase of the Kang University, and 14 are the special service regiment of the headquarters, the team directly under the 115th Division, the 685th Regiment of the 343rd Brigade, and the 686th Regiment are about to return to the team due to injuries and illness. These 64 people are all backbones of the Red Army, and they can be directly used as battalion, company, and platoon cadres of the expanded advance brigade; Another 36 people are young intellectuals who went to Yan'an from all over North China and the Central Plains after graduating early from the Fourth Brigade of the Second Phase of the Anti-Japanese University.

Wang Lushui led his cadres to arrive in Shiguai Town after a few days and nights of marching, and he was already very familiar with these cadres. Xiao Siming met them for the first time, and more than a dozen of them were familiar comrades-in-arms in the memory of Xiao Siming, the red monster, and more of them were the squad leaders sent to the Qingyang Infantry School in the second phase of the Anti-Japanese University, and they were not familiar with them. The young intellectuals of the fourth brigade of the second phase of the Anti-Japanese University did not know any of them.

Xiao Siming is now very famous among the senior generals of the Eighth Route Army, basically the cadres above the regiment commander of the three main divisions know that the 115th Division has a special red ghost Xiao Siming, in the Pingxingguan ambush, after being seriously injured, he rolled down from the top of the mountain with the devil, and he did not die. From then on, Wang Lushui, deputy director of the Political Training Office of the 685th Regiment of Hull, together with the wounded squad of the 685th Regiment who were recuperating together, fought successive victories, seized the county seat of Yuxian County, pulled up the independent battalion of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, fought the battle of Nianzigou that killed the commander of the Japanese wing, and the battle of attacking and occupying the Zhengtai Road Stone Measuring Station. The most brilliant thing is that Xiao Siming led an independent battalion to attack Taiyuan Airport, completely annihilating the airport's ground staff, pilots, and tower commanders, blowing up all 48 planes, and then attacking and occupying Shouyang County, completely annihilating a devil brigade and a pseudo garrison.

That is to say, since Xiao Siming eliminated the devil search team in the Zangshan Temple in Yuxian County, there have been three or four thousand little devils who have died under Xiao Siming's independent battalion. This kind of record is still a record of a newly built battalion, and it is so brilliant that it is dizzying and fascinating!

However, Xiao Siming and the independent battalion were only famous among the senior cadres of the main division of the Eighth Route Army and those units of the Eighth Route Army who had dealt with them, and they were not well-known among other units and local armed forces. Because the words "Xiao Siming" and the number of "Independent Battalion of the 115th Division" were never mentioned in the public propaganda, they all said the words "the headquarters of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army".

The little devil spy agency can't figure out the number of the Eighth Route Army that destroyed Taiyuan Airport and attacked Shouyang County, and ordinary people don't know it!

If the little devil finds out that the unit that made them suffer so many losses in a row is the independent battalion of the 115th Division, and the battalion commander is called Xiao Siming, I am afraid that all kinds of conspiracies and tricks will be used!

Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming led the independent battalion to fight together, and they knew the importance of secrecy, and when they mobilized the cadres along the way, they only talked about the importance of advancing eastward, but never talked about the achievements of the independent battalion, resulting in the cadres of these cadres not knowing the independent battalion. It was only after the troops of Shiguai Town and the independent battalion converged that the cadres of the cadre team knew that there was such a well-equipped and well-supplied unit in the Eighth Route Army!

After meeting with the cadres of the cadre team, Wang Lushui introduced to everyone that this was Comrade Xiao Siming, the captain of the eastward advance brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

Especially the few people who are familiar with the red imp Xiao Siming, those who know the situation will definitely not say it, and those who don't know are surprised, they can't imagine that in a short period of time, Xiao Siming has become the commander of the Eighth Route Army!

Xiao Siming did not give a speech to the cadres, but asked everyone to sit on the stools, stones, and thresholds in the courtyard, and asked one by one their names, places of origin, the numbers of the original troops, and what more famous battles they had participated in, and then asked those young intellectual cadres who graduated from the Fourth Brigade of the Anti-Japanese University, and asked them in more detail, not only asking where they were from, their family situation, which school and which major they graduated from, but also asking which teacher had the deepest impression and most experience of the lessons taught by them when they were studying at Kang University. I asked and took notes, and I wrote them all down in a notebook I had brought.

For a whole afternoon and one night, Xiao Siming stayed in the cadre team, and even ate dinner in the cadre team!

According to a cadre of the cadre team later recalled, when he first saw Captain Xiao, he did not have any special feelings, but only felt that he was not very old, he was still a young man, younger than us, and he could not understand how he could be the captain of the regiment. Moreover, he did not give us a speech as soon as he came, like other leaders, to talk about the situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and to do ideological mobilization, but to ask us warmly and warmly about our names, places of origin, which school we graduated from, what major they studied, whether they had any specialties and hobbies, and whether they preferred to work in the army or in the local area. In order to save time, I didn't wait for him to ask questions, but I took the initiative to stand up and answer. I felt that at that time, he asked the comrades of our four brigades in more detail than the comrades of the Qingyang Infantry School, and later I realized that he was more familiar with the combat experience of the comrades in the army, and it became clear when he heard the number of the unit. He didn't know much more about us, so he asked more detailed questions.

When they returned to their residence at night, Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui met with Hu Qingyun and Huo Cheng and exchanged opinions, and then fell asleep.

After getting up and washing up the next morning, Xiao Siming, Wang Lushui, Hu Qingyun, Huo Cheng, Zheng Xiuchuan, and Shi Poshan went out with the guard platoon, reconnaissance platoon, and communications platoon for morning exercises.

Among them, Zheng Xiuchuan, the former deputy commander of the independent battalion, was transferred to the post of deputy chief of staff and chief of staff of the advance brigade, Shi Poshan, deputy instructor, was transferred to the post of director of the logistics department, and Mo Shan, secretary of the general branch, was transferred to the post of deputy director of the political department.

The leader of the teaching team is concurrently served by Chief of Staff Hu Qingyun.

The principal of the school is concurrently served by Huo Cheng, director of the Political Department.

For the time being, there was no suitable personnel for the head of the medical affairs department, and Wang Dao, the director of the field hospital, had already had a heavy enough burden to concurrently serve, so he had to transfer Mei Ying, the former head of the propaganda section of the independent battalion, who knew a little medical knowledge, to the post of director of the medical department.

Since the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Battalions were preparing to expand the number of recruits who had completed their supplementary training on the basis of the original 1st, 2nd, and 3rd companies, the former company leaders were promoted to battalion leaders, the company commanders became battalion commanders, instructors became instructors, and the company headquarters became battalion headquarters.

The artillery battalion, heavy machine gun battalion, engineer battalion, baggage battalion, and new battalion were all expanded on the basis of the original artillery unit, heavy machine gun battalion, engineer corps, and baggage corps.

The cadres of the three battalions were directly determined at the meeting, among them: the commander of the fourth battalion was Feng Yong, the company commander of the first battalion of the original 686th regiment, who returned from injury, the instructor was Mo Shan, the former secretary of the general branch of the independent battalion, and Mo Shan, the deputy director of the political department of the advance brigade, the deputy battalion commander was Song Mingjing, who graduated from the Qingyang Infantry School in the second phase of the Anti-Japanese University, and the secretary of the general branch of the battalion was Feng Lun, the secretary of the 115th Division; The commander of the fifth battalion is Liu Yunhai, the former cadre of the West Route Army who graduated from the Qingyang Infantry School in the second phase of the Kang University, the instructor is Hu Bin, a former underground party member of Beiping who graduated from the fourth brigade of the Kang University and participated in the "129" movement, the deputy battalion commander is Zeng Zhiyong, the deputy company commander of the 115th Division Supplementary Regiment who has returned from injury, and the general branch secretary of the battalion is Xu Yan, the former chief of the political and educational section of the independent battalion; The commander of the sixth battalion is Luo Xu, the company commander of the third battalion of the 685th Regiment of the 115th Division, who has returned from injury, the instructor is Chen Qicai, the instructor of the special service regiment of the headquarters who has returned from illness, the deputy battalion commander is Wang Xinhao, a former cadre of the West Route Army who graduated from the Qingyang Infantry School of the second phase of the Kang University, and the secretary of the general branch of the battalion is Wu Anning, an underground party member of Kaifeng, Henan Province who graduated from the fourth brigade of the second phase of the Kang University.

As for the company platoon cadres of the three rack battalions, Xiao Siming said that the power was decentralized, and the battalion commanders and instructors were selected from among the cadres. Including the staff office, the political office, the logistics office, the first, second, and third battalions, the artillery battalion, the heavy machine gun battalion, the engineer battalion, the recruit battalion, the cavalry company, the guard company, the reconnaissance company, the communications company, and the radio station.

Wang Lushui asked, after all the people have been selected, what should I do if I need to select local cadres when the time comes?

Xiao Siming replied that it was easy to do, and then it would be transferred out. Let those comrades who are ready to be sent to work in the localities temper themselves in the main forces, there is only good and no harm!

That's just as well!

As a result of delegating power, Hu Qingyun, chief of staff and head of the teaching team, Huo Cheng, director of the Political Department, Zheng Xiuchuan, the new deputy chief of staff and chief of staff, Shi Poshan, the new director of the Logistics Department, and Mo Shan, the new deputy director of the Political Department and instructor of the Fourth Battalion, all of whom attended the meeting, could not sit still and immediately got up to go to the cadre unit to select people.

In particular, Hu Qingyun, chief of staff, had to consider not only the cadres lacking in the various sections of the staff office, but also the cadres of the teaching team.

Including Mei Ying, they were all in a hurry to run out, for fear that they would be late and the cadres would be robbed by the suffocating department.

Xiao Siming stopped them and confessed that the readers of the Political Department informed that after lunch, the mobilization meeting of the whole brigade to the east was held, the expansion order of the division headquarters was announced, the appointment of cadres was announced, and the cadres above the squad leader level of each unit and all the personnel of the cadre team participated! After the meeting, all units can go to the cadre team to select personnel!

This made Hu Qingyun and Huo Cheng embarrassed, so they had to honestly go back to prepare the appointment order and notify the meeting.

The 10 wounded who remained in Mafang to recuperate have also been found by the field hospital and brought back to Shiguai Town. Not bad, after nearly a month of recuperation, the 10 wounded have basically recovered and returned to the team. (To be continued.) )
