Under Sun Weiguo's persuasion, Commander Nie and Chief of Staff Tang changed their previous thoughts.

The Pingding County Brigade was reorganized into an independent regiment of Pingding County, with Zhong Jian as the commander, Sun Weiguo as the deputy commander, Shen Wei as the political commissar, and Zhao Lerong as the chief of staff of the regiment.

The infantry battalion was headed by Hong Zhiqiang as the battalion commander and Chen Yang as the deputy battalion commander. The cavalry battalion was headed by Chen Guitang as the battalion commander and Zhao Wei as the deputy battalion commander. The artillery battalion was headed by Shishi, the guard communication platoon was led by Wang Erzhu, and the reconnaissance platoon was headed by Zhang Dajun.

The reorganization and personnel of the Pingding County Independent Regiment were all drawn up and recommended by Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and Chief of Staff of Tang, and Sun Weiguo took the initiative to remove the regiment commander from his post, and this incident caused a great sensation in the Military Region.

Commander Nie and Chief of Staff Tang were naturally very willing for Sun Weiguo to stay at the headquarters for a while, but Sun Weiguo was very worried about the situation of the county brigade, so after staying at the headquarters for one night, Sun Weiguo left the headquarters before dawn the next day.

It was already a few days later when I returned to Nanzhuang Village, and many houses had already been built in Nanzhuang Village by this time.

These houses are built of cement, which is very strong, and the houses are for the people to live in.

At present, there are more than 1,000 people in the independent regiment, and it is obviously impossible to live in the village, so Nanzhuang Village has expanded a lot.

Around the trenches outside the village, a number of barracks were built at the same time, which were multi-purpose, which could be used for simple training, but also for housing, and when fighting, they could be slightly modified and used as fortifications.

With the addition of Zhao Lerong and these prisoners of war, the independent regiment is now almost full, and the infantry battalion and artillery battalion have also been supplemented by veterans.

Sun Weiguo returned to Nanzhuang Village, and the soldiers were naturally very happy in their hearts, but they were worried that Sun Weiguo would stay at the military region headquarters.

After coming to Nanzhuang Village, Sun Weiguo immediately called a meeting of the officers.

At the meeting, Sun Weiguo informed the officers of the news that the county brigade had been reorganized into the Pingding County Independent Regiment, and at the same time, Sun Weiguo announced the appointment of officers.

Zhong Jian knew that he had become the head of the independent regiment, he was very surprised, Zhong Jian originally wanted to resign, but Sun Weiguo did not give him a chance to speak, in Sun Weiguo's opinion, Zhong Jian was the most suitable to be the head of the regiment.

"Chief of Staff Zhao, the chief of staff of this regiment may have wronged you, but it's all for the sake of fighting devils, I think you should be able to accept it."

Sun Weiguo looked at Zhao Lerong, and said with a smile on his face.

Zhao Lerong didn't expect Sun Weiguo to directly arrange for him to be the chief of staff of the regiment, and when he heard Sun Weiguo's words, he hurriedly stood up and said politely.

"Hong Zhiqiang, Chen Guitang, Shi, I will give you a week, the army must complete the reorganization, and the personnel must be full, but you must also pay attention to one point, that is, the selection of soldiers must be strict, don't make up the numbers for me." Sun Wei said in a serious Chinese tone.

"Yes, Deputy Commander." The three battalion commanders immediately stood up, and they saluted Sun Weiguo and said.

"Political commissar, the head of the military region has promised us to wear and return my mountain and river armband, you should prepare immediately, a week later we will gather the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment together, we will change the armband together, and at the same time announce the reorganization into an independent regiment."

Sun Weiguo looked at Shen Wei, and he said softly, Sun Weiguo has to explain very seriously when he changes this armband.

You must know that in order to allow the officers and soldiers to wear this armband, Sun Weiguo received a mission from the military region headquarters in exchange.

"Okay, I'll arrange this matter immediately, and strive to let every officer and soldier in the regiment wear this armband in a week."

Shen Wei was very surprised, she didn't expect Sun Weiguo to ask the head of the military region to promise that the officers and soldiers could wear this armband.

She couldn't help but glance at Sun Weiguo, with a strange expression on her face, and then Shen Wei walked outside.

Although the news of the reorganization of the county brigade into an independent regiment was to be announced a week later, the officers revealed the news in advance.

When the fighters learned the news, a smile of excitement appeared on the faces of each of them.

Zhang Dajun's reconnaissance squad has been expanded into a reconnaissance platoon, and Zhang Dajun is currently in the regimental headquarters of the independent regiment in the village, reporting on the situation.

This regimental headquarters was newly established, and it was still a semi-underground building, with two floors of the underground building, and the upper one was a large bunker, which could be used for defense by troops during battle.

At this time, the sign of the regimental headquarters of the Pingding County Independent Regiment of the Fourth Army Subdivision of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region had been hung on the outside of the building, and the two soldiers of the guard squad of the guard communication platoon stood outside with the captured Jinzao submachine guns, looking majestic.

According to our observations, the Japanese troops in the county town not only have cavalry, but also Iron King Ba, and there are vehicles similar to Tiewang Ba, and their number is about 1,000 people, the details are not clear.

There are puppet army troops stationed in each town in Pingding County, and there are almost two or three hundred puppet army troops in each town, and these puppet army troops are very powerful, and almost every town's puppet army has artillery and light and heavy machine guns. ”

Standing in front of the map, Zhang Dajun pointed to several small towns near Pingding County and made an introduction.

"Defend the country, the military sub-district also sent us a telegram, Xiyang County, Shouyang County and Yangquan County are all stationed in a large number of Japanese troops, once there is a battle here in Pingding County, they can immediately come through the railway, road reinforcements, the little devil this time we are treated as the main enemy."

Zhong Jian took the baton from Zhang Dajun's hand, and he pointed to several county towns near Pingding County on the map.

Sun Weiguo's eyes looked at the map, and then his gaze fell on Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong.

Zhao Lerong's eyes were staring at the map, and he didn't notice Sun Weiguo's gaze.

"Chief of Staff, what do you mean by arranging this way?" Sun Weiguo asked pretending to be confused.

"Deputy Commander, you are a smart person, how can you not understand it, but since you want to test me, then I will dare to say it." Zhao Lerong walked towards the map, his face showing a calm expression.

After coming to the map, Zhao Lerong pointed to the location of Nanzhuang Village on the map and said: "All the deployments of the Japanese army are for the independent regiment, and judging from the current deployment of the Japanese army, they still want to annihilate us." The puppet army units deployed in various towns are decoys, and once we go to eat, the Japanese troops will surely be dispatched quickly. The current situation is unfavorable for us, and if we do not break this shackle, sooner or later we will be surrounded or even annihilated by the Japanese army. ”
