When Jiang Fengyi heard Liu Tianshu's words, his heart moved and said, "Brother Liu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”

After getting along with Liu Tianshu for many days, the relationship between the two also became mature and acquaintance, and when there were only two of them, Jiang Fengyi affectionately called him Brother Liu.

"General Jiang, the little devil should know your identity by now, if the prediction is good, the devil must be very annoyed by your escape. You know, since the beginning of the war, the devils have not captured a general of our army, and although you unfortunately fell into the hands of the devils, you slipped out from under their noses, you say, the devil is not crazy or still a devil? Therefore, I personally believe that it is not appropriate for you to follow the squad back to the war zone. Liu Tianshu said contemplatively.

Jiang Fengyi has also been thinking about this problem in the past few days, and the war zone sent Tang Guo to lead a team to meet him, maybe this matter has let the devil know, although it is not a pity to die, but if it falls into the hands of the devil again, the devil will definitely make a big fuss.

Besides, judging from the contact with Tang Guo in the past few days, Tang Guo is a bit stubborn, and it is very likely that he has no actual combat experience, and following him back to the war zone, the risk factor has increased a lot.

"Brother Liu, I know that you are a rare military talent, but unfortunately you are unwilling to follow me to the Central Army, if you are willing to go, I will definitely promote you as the regiment commander. In the future, it is also very promising to become a division commander and a military commander. I don't know if you have any good advice on this, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Jiang Fengyi smiled, looked at Liu Tianshu and said seriously.

"General Jiang, you see, this is our base area, this is the location of the war zone, during which we have to pass through the vast area of southwest Lu, and we also have to cross the railway line heavily guarded by the devils, during which as long as the whereabouts of the small detachment are exposed, they will be rounded up by the devils' large army. So, I personally don't think you should follow the squad, you should travel lightly and go back to the war zone from here. The line drawn by Liu Tianshu on the sketch started from Fuya Mountain, passed through Qingyang Mountain and then went south to eastern Henan.

Jiang Fengyi's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw this route, and then said: "Brother Liu, I know that you have a lot of elite soldiers under you, can I borrow a few people." As soon as I return to the war zone, I will return this person in full. ”

In the past few days, Jiang Fengyi has time to watch the training of the reconnaissance platoon, and he is very appreciative of the reconnaissance platoon's super personal combat effectiveness, he knows that the risk factor is much smaller than following the squad back to the war zone with a detour, and if he can borrow a few people from Liu Tianshu, the safety factor will be much greater.

"General Jiang, I can't be the master of borrowing people, I have to ask my superiors for this matter. In this way, you should discuss it with Captain Tang first, but if you don't go back with the team, this matter must be controlled to a very small extent, Miss Han is very experienced in dealing with this matter, you might as well listen to her opinion. Liu Tianshu looked at Jiang Fengyi and said solemnly.

After sending Jiang Fengyi away, Liu Tianshu immediately contacted the detachment by radio, and two hours later, the detachment's return call arrived, in which the detachment agreed that Jiang Fengyi would pass through the defense area of the Eighth Route Army, and at the same time promised to be responsible for escorting from Shandong to eastern Henan. As for borrowing people from the independent battalion, the detachment directly vetoed it, and only asked Liu Tianshu to arrange someone to send Jiang Fengyi to Qingyang Mountain.

Liu Tianshu knew that the underground party had a secret communication line, and there was also the Eighth Route Army in eastern Henan, and with their response, this route should be safe.

In the afternoon, Jiang Fengyi took Tang Guo and Han Ru to Liu Tianshu, Tang Guo looked at Liu Tianshu with a very dissatisfied expression, and sat on the side without saying anything.

"Battalion Commander Liu, I have contacted Shangfeng, Shangfeng agreed that I will not return with the team, Miss Han and I and a few of my subordinates will stay in the base area, wait for the right time, and then return to the war zone, this time we will have to bother for a few more days." Seeing Liu Tianshu, Jiang Fengyi said with a smile.

Liu Tianshu immediately knew about Jiang Fengyi's detour back to the war zone, and the war zone commander's department had agreed, but this matter was hidden from Tang Guo and Han Ru, and he smiled at the moment: "General Jiang can stay and guide us, Liu Tianshu just can't ask for it." ”

Tang Guo saw that the two of them were talking and laughing, and he couldn't control it anymore, he looked at Liu Tianshu and said, "Battalion Commander Liu, since Chief Jiang doesn't go back with his subordinates, I won't bother me anymore, I have decided that the team will leave here tonight, and please arrange it." ”

"Since Captain Tang is in a hurry to go back, then I won't stop you, so I'll have someone prepare some dry food for you and send you out of the base at night." Liu Tianshu said with a smile.

Just wanted to borrow some weapons from Liu Tianshu, Tang Guo was never able to speak, and in the end, General Jiang offered to borrow a hundred rifles with an IOU.

As soon as Liu Tianshu heard this, he immediately had a toothache, and finally said that he had to consult his superiors about this matter.

Although General Jiang promised to try to return the equipment of a battalion after returning to the war zone, Liu Tianshu still did not dare to make a decision on such a big matter.

Fortunately, the detachment's call back soon arrived, agreeing that the independent battalion would lend the squad eighty rifles plus three thousand rounds of ammunition.

When it was almost dark, Liu Tianshu sent the guns, ammunition and prepared dry food to the team, and then asked Shi Qiang to send the team out of the base area.

However, General Jiang did not leave Fuya Mountain with the detachment, but it was kept in a high degree of secrecy.

Anyway, there are not many rescued anti-Japanese soldiers who know that there is a big man like Jiang Fengyi in the middle, and these people are either Jiang Fengyi's cronies, or these people are left in Fuya Mountain.

Of course, two of Jiang Fengyi's six cronies still followed the team back and made the appearance of secretly protecting a big man, of course, the person who seemed to be a big man was also a Xibei goods.

When bidding farewell to the team, Liu Tianshu pulled Cheng Zhihua aside and whispered a few words.

On the night of the second day after the detachment left, Liu Tianshu asked Shi Qiang to take the reconnaissance platoon to send Jiang Fengyi, Han Ru and Jiang Fengyi's four cronies, and quietly left Fuya Mountain and rushed to the Qingyang base area.

When sending Jiang Fengyi away, Liu Tianshu took the initiative to cooperate with the shell gun and bullets for Jiang Fengyi's cronies, and as for Jiang Fengyi, Liu Tianshu sent a Wang Ba box.

If Liu Tianshu had Browning in his hand, he might have given him one, but unfortunately he only had the captured Wang Ba box in his hand.

When those laborers heard that the people sent by the war zone had taken away more than 100 soldiers, they didn't care about them, and they were full of resentment, but they felt the cruelty of the devils along the way, and most of these laborers came from Anhui, Jiangsu and other places, and they were too far away from home, and most of them did not dare to return home alone.

In the end, more than 600 people volunteered to stay behind and join the independent battalion, while the rest also stayed in the base area and waited for the time to return to their hometowns.

Of course, there are more than 100 people who want to return to their hometowns, and Liu Tianshu saw that the persuasion was ineffective, so he sent a little money to let them leave on their own.

The independent battalion suddenly increased by more than 1,200 people, and Liu Tianshu and Zhu Aiguo were naturally busy enough. With the consent of the detachment, the independent battalion was also expanded into an independent regiment, with Liu Tianshu as the regiment commander, Liao Zhifeng as the political commissar, Zhu Aiguo as the director of the political department, and Comrade Yang Donghu as the deputy regiment commander.

The regiment consisted of three infantry battalions, a machine-gun battalion and an artillery company.

The first battalion commander Jin Zhenbiao, instructor Huang Xiaocheng, and deputy battalion commander Song Guoxun. Subordinate: First Company Commander Guo Donglai, Second Company Commander Yu Yongzhong, Third Company Commander Sun Xiaoxian.

Second battalion commander Hao Mengxuan, instructor Hua Xiaohu, deputy battalion commander Zhan Shulong. Subordinate: Kuang Guosheng, the commander of the fourth company, Chu Siyang, the commander of the fifth company, and Xu Zhongnan, the commander of the sixth company.

The third battalion commander Ma Chaoyuan, the instructor Xiao Xiaolong, the deputy battalion commander Peng Xiaotian, the subordinates: the seventh company commander Liu Sutang, the eighth company commander Sun Bao, and the ninth company commander Hou Guoquan.

Machine gun company commander Xu Yongdong, artillery company commander Shu Zhi.

The reconnaissance platoon was expanded into a reconnaissance brigade, with Shi Qiang as the captain and Chen Jian as the deputy captain.

With the expansion of the troops, many of the backbone of the Sichuan Army, the Jin Sui Army, and the Northwest Army who newly joined the Eighth Route Army have been reused to a certain extent, such as Peng Xiaotian, who was a battalion commander of the former Sichuan Army, Song Guoxun was a company commander of the Northwest Army, and Zhan Shulong was originally a battalion commander of the New Fourth Army.

These people who were activated were all determined by Liao Zhifeng through contact in the prisoner of war camp and after the preliminary examination of the organization, especially those from the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army, who were further confirmed by their superiors.

However, after the expansion of the troops, Liu Tianshu immediately focused on the training of the troops, and as for the huge shortage of guns and ammunition in the troops, Liu Tianshu had no way to solve it for the time being, except for asking the underground organization to increase the collection of information on devils.

After the last series of battles after the train robbery, although a batch of guns and ammunition was captured, the unit was suddenly expanded by half, plus the squad that sent 80 guns to Tang Guo, and finally at least 300 soldiers had no weapons in their hands and could only participate in training with broadswords.

Fortunately, these people quickly adapted to the training method of the independent regiment, especially those soldiers who were rescued, and trained even more fiercely, hoping to kill a few more devils in the next battle.

Seeing that the entire army was immersed in ******** killing devils, Liu Tianshu began to be faintly worried again. He was afraid that these warriors would be blinded by the fury of revenge, and that when they went to battle, they would only kill the enemy, and they would not know how to protect themselves. At the meeting, he stressed the importance of learning to protect oneself on the battlefield and made these cadres at and above the company commander understand that as the commander of a company, he must be responsible for the lives of more than 100 of his brothers, and that he must learn to protect himself in battle, and on the premise of protecting himself, he should try to inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy.

At the same time, he stressed the importance of mutual cooperation on the battlefield to all cadres at and above the company commander level of the regiment, and demanded that all soldiers should have the concept of collective cooperation and never be unsuccessful as individual heroes.

After his stress, coupled with a series of meticulous ideological work by Zhu Aiguo, Liao Zhifeng, Yang Donghu, and others, the impetuous atmosphere that permeated the independent regiment finally gradually subsided.

Seeing that the training of the troops was on the right track, Liu Tianshu's attention began to turn to how to solve the problem of the troops' equipment. (To be continued.) )
