When Liu Tianshu arrived at Songkan Town with the machine-gun battalion, the first battalion, and the second battalion, the troops were already very tired. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Fortunately, the 4th Battalion stationed in Songkan Town received a telegram from Liu Tianshu and made preparations early.

As soon as the troops arrived in Songkan Town, they were immediately warmly greeted by the 4th Battalion, and then they were taken to the village, where the steaming meal was brought up by the enthusiastic villagers, and the soldiers took the food and ate a few bites, many of which fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Liu Tianshu handed over the matter of the placement of the troops to Jin Zhenbiao and several other battalion commanders, and immediately rushed to Pingyuan Town on horseback with the guard squad himself.

The main force came from afar, and the threat of Pingyuan Town was successfully lifted, and he really wanted to put on his wings and go to join the main force as soon as possible.

As for the troops returning from Yeongsan, they stayed in Songkan Town to rest for the time being.

Songkan Town was originally the defense area of Jin Zhenbiao's first battalion, and many of the soldiers in the first battalion were natives of Songkan Town. However, Jin Zhenbiao's heart was not relaxed, but he looked very heavy.

In this reinforcement of the Rongshan base area, the 1st and 2nd battalions and the machine gun battalion successfully completed the task, but the first battalion was successful, and his first battalion had more than 100 lives, which remained in the Rongshan base area forever.

Thinking of these lives that were still alive not long ago, and sleeping in the beautiful mountains and forests of Rongshan in a blink of an eye, he had a shameless shame of seeing Jiangdong's father.

Fortunately, instructor Huang Xiaocheng is very experienced in doing political work. After the troops were stabilized, he immediately convened a series of meetings to express condolences for the martyrs who had died and to commend the brave fighters in battle.

At the same time, with the support of the local government, the 1st and 2nd Battalions began to pay pensions to the families of the fallen soldiers, and at the same time organized village cadres and militiamen to visit their homes and effectively solve their practical problems.

Liu Tianshu rushed to Pingyuan Town, threw the horse to the guard Kang Cheng, and strode towards the regiment headquarters.

As soon as he walked into the gate of the regiment headquarters, a soldier suddenly saw him and immediately shouted in surprise: "Regiment commander, are you back?" ”

Liu Tianshu nodded, "Is the political commissar here?" ”

"The commissar is in the house." The soldier replied respectfully, and when Liu Tianshu walked into the door of Political Commissar Liao's room, the entire regiment headquarters knew that Regiment Commander Liu had returned.

"Tianliu, you're finally back, you've worked hard this time." Seeing Liu Tianshu push in, Liao Zhifeng stood up in surprise, shook hands with him warmly, and asked cordially.

"Political commissar, the first battalion and the second battalion just left the base area, but I didn't expect the devils to come and sweep it, and it's still you who work hard." Liu Tianshu thought that Sasaki sent troops to attack the base area, and he was afraid for a while.

You must know that he not only took away the first and second battalions, but also took away all the machine gun companies, reconnaissance brigades and artillery companies directly under the regiment at that time, so to speak, he took away two-thirds of the troops of the independent regiment.

Fortunately, the main force arrived in time, forcing Saito to take the initiative to withdraw his troops, otherwise the loss of the base area would not be great.

After the two talked for a while, Liao Zhifeng looked at Liu Tianshu and said, "Commander Liu, the main force is now temporarily stationed in Guwang Village in the west, let's go, I will accompany you to meet Commander Du Ningyuan." ”

"Du Ningyuan? You said that the main head of the regiment is named Du Yuyuan? Liu Tianshu's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.

"Yes, it's Captain Du Ningyuan, what's the matter, do you know?" Liao Zhifeng saw his excited appearance and asked with a smile.

"That's an old acquaintance, when I was in Qingyan Town, Commander Du once passed by us with an independent regiment, I met him a few times, but I didn't expect to meet him again here."

At that time, Liu Tianshu was only the captain of the Qingyan anti-Japanese guerrillas, and Du Ningyuan was the head of the independent regiment, and the gap between the two was not a little bit, and now it is difficult to say whether Du Ningyuan has the impression of Liu Tianshu in his heart.

"I didn't expect you to be acquaintances, let's go, let's go. Head Du said that he had brought two bottles of Fenjiu from Shanxi, and we happened to go over to fight him in the autumn breeze. Liao Zhifeng said happily.

When he was in Taihang Mountain, he was only famous for Du Ningyuan, the two did not meet, and then Liao Zhifeng unfortunately fell into the hands of the devil, and after being rescued by Liu Tianshu, he followed the instructions of his superiors and stayed in the Fuyashan Independent Regiment as a political commissar.

This time, he learned that it was Du Ningyuan who led the troops to come to reinforce him, and he chatted with Du Ningyuan affectionately several times.

Knowing that Du Ningyuan brought two bottles of good wine from Shanxi, his alcohol addiction had already been aroused, but Du Ningyuan said that this wine would be drunk when Liu Tianshu came back, so he could only endure it.

The two came to the main force station, and Du Ningyuan heard the news and greeted him with political commissar Deng Xianlong.

Seeing Liu Tianshu rushing forward, Du Ningyuan looked at it and said, "Captain Liu, Qingyan farewell, I didn't expect us to meet again here." ”

"Yes, old leader, the thought of being able to fight devils under your leadership again, Tianshu is really excited." Liu Tianshu said sincerely.

Although Du Ningyuan did not directly lead him when he was in Qingyan, he was the head of the regiment at that time, and it can be said that he was his leader.

"Tianshu is polite, when I was in Qingyan, I knew that you were a military talent, but I didn't expect that in less than a year, you have become the head of a group, and now I don't dare to lead you." Du Ningyuan smiled happily.

After the four of them talked and laughed there, accompanied by Du Ningyuan, they went directly to the regiment headquarters in Guwang Village.

Stepping into the gate of the regiment headquarters, he smelled a smelling fragrance, Liu Tianshu couldn't help but smell hard, looked at the head of the regiment Du and political commissar Deng and said: "Old leader, political commissar Deng, what did you get, it's so fragrant." ”

"Hehe, I heard that you are coming, Lao Du specially asked the cooking class to get a few kinds of game, saying that it was to catch the wind for your big hero, Captain Liu, Lao Liao, we have to have a good drink today, and no one is allowed to play tricks." Political Commissar Deng Xianlong said happily.

Liu Tianshu and Liao Zhifeng glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Then we might as well obey our orders respectfully and listen to Commander Du and Political Commissar Deng." ”

A bottle of Fenjiu was in his stomach, Liu Tianshu also told in detail about how he led his troops to reinforce Rongshan, Du Ningyuan heard that Liu Tianshu with two main battalions not only helped the Rongshan base to smash the sweep of the devils, but also wiped out all the Mi Toma brigade, and was so shocked that he almost couldn't close his mouth.

You must know that the Mi Toma Brigade is an integrated brigade, not only well-equipped, but also has the Imperial Cooperative Army to cooperate in the operation, in terms of numbers, the devil and the puppet army together even have an advantage, but Liu Tianshu stabbed him in the stomach, and knocked out the supply station in the first blow, so that the Mi Toma Brigade immediately fell into passivity, and then used the reconnaissance brigade to attack the Mi Toma Brigade, and resolutely blocked him in the Wildcat Ditch, so that Mi Toma had to call for help.

After forcing Mi Toma to Hutou Ridge, he pretended to be forced by Japanese reinforcements, so he had to draw troops to block it, luring Mi Toma to lead his troops down the ridge, and finally fell into the encirclement of Liu Tianshu's machine gun battalion.

The powerful firepower of 36 heavy machine guns, coupled with the ambush position built by taking advantage of the favorable terrain, allowed the Mito's brigade to be wiped out in just five minutes.

Compared with the weapons and equipment of the Fuyashan Independent Regiment, they are not inferior to the devils.

Thinking of this, he looked at Liu Tianshu's eyes, and there was a lot of indescribable appreciation.

You must know that the Eighth Road, which Liu Tianshu brought to the Fuyashan base area, had only one company at that time, and now it has developed to the size of a regiment, and the base area has more than doubled.

"Commander Du, Political Commissar Deng, we have joined your regiment in the Fuyashan base area, and our strength has been greatly enhanced, I don't know what arrangements the superiors have for the next work?" Liu Tianshu looked at the two of them and said.

Du Ningyuan listened and glanced at Deng Xianlong, looked at Liu Tianshu and Liao Zhifeng and said in a low voice: "Tianshu, Lao Liao, this time the main force rushed to Shandong, in addition to enhancing Shandong's anti-Japanese forces, there is also an important purpose, which is to contain the devil's forces and reduce the pressure on Taihang Mountain. The specific instructions have not yet come down, but I don't think the higher authorities will put our regiment and your independent regiment in Fuya Mountain. ”

Du Ningyuan knew that after the main division arrived in Shandong, the central authorities would definitely make arrangements for the next work, especially the allocation of party and government cadres in Shandong, and so on, which must be considered holistically.

Political Commissar Luo and Division Commander Chen placed his regiment in Fuya Mountain, one should be to strengthen the strength of Fuya Mountain, and the other to prevent the devils south of the Jiaoji Railway from going north.

Of course, the specific work arrangements have not yet been made by the superiors, and Du Ningyuan cannot disclose them.

Coming out of Guwang Village, Liu Tianshu and Liao Zhifeng rode back to Pingyuan Town with their clothes open, the cold wind blew on their hot faces, and the two felt an indescribable comfort.

In the following days, Liu Tianshu supplemented the battalions of the Fuyashan Independent Regiment, and at the same time sent company and platoon-level cadres to Guwang Village to communicate with Du Ningyuan's regiment.

Half a month later, Jiang Jinyong, the former political commissar of the detachment, came to Fuya Mountain.

Looking at the cadres above the battalion commander level of the two regiments and the principal leaders of the county party committee in the base area sitting below, Jiang Jinyong said with some excitement: "Comrades, the arrival of the main division has not only strengthened Shandong's anti-Japanese forces, but also greatly encouraged the confidence of the Shandong people in resisting the war to the end. In order to adapt to the new situation, in accordance with the instructions of the central authorities......"

After Jiang Jinyong made a passionate speech, he announced that according to the division's decision, Du Ningyuan's main regiment would be combined with the Fuyashan Independent Regiment and the Rongshan Independent Regiment to form the new First Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, with brigade commander Hong Feihu and political commissar Jiang Jinyong. Du Ningyuan's main regiment is the first regiment of the new 1st brigade, the Fuyashan Independent Regiment is the second regiment of the new 1st brigade, and Han Fangping's Rongshan Independent Regiment is the third regiment. The brigade headquarters is directly under the jurisdiction of the artillery battalion and the machine gun battalion. At the same time, the cadres of the three regiments were redeployed.

Hearing that the brigade headquarters directly incorporated the machine gun battalion of the Fuyashan Independent Regiment into the direct command of the brigade headquarters, and at the same time assigned Ma Chaoyuan's third battalion to the third regiment system, Liu Tianshu had nothing, but many cadres under his command began to complain.
