Chapter 131: Pioneer Independent Battalion

At such a critical juncture, the appearance of the cavalry battalion of the Anzhou Brigade undoubtedly determined the outcome of this battle. With these elite cavalry, shoot at long range, to slash at close range. The officers and soldiers of the security regiment, who knew that no matter how fast they were, they could not escape the four-legged war horse, and they threw their guns to the side very sensibly, squatted on the ground and raised their hands.

For fear that the cavalry galloping past on horseback would cut off their heads with their shiny sabers. As for the stubborn battalion commander, when the cavalry battalion arrived, he was still about to get on his horse and escape, but the result was naturally that he was chased by several cavalrymen and fell on his horse with a shot, and he could not die again.

The death of this battalion commander completely ended the chaos outside the city. As the cavalry urged the horses from time to time, they ordered the officers and soldiers of the security regiment who had fled to surrender. Soon the officers and men of the security regiment who participated in the siege of the city were all turned into prisoners of this cavalry unit.

After confirming the other party's joint code, the guerrillas in the city acted as porters and quickly removed the sandbags that had been piled up in the city gate hole. When the city gate was completely cleaned, these prisoners who had been copied by the cavalry battalion were also escorted into the camp of the security regiment where they had trained and rested before, with their faces sad, and waited for the unknown fate to be announced.

When the commanders of the two sides met, Qi Lin was undoubtedly taken aback when he learned that the middle-aged man in front of him was actually the deputy brigade commander of the large army advancing into Anzhou. Only Situ Qingyun looked at this somewhat familiar but unfamiliar deputy brigade commander, and seemed to think a little hard.

Maybe it was because he saw that Situ Qingyun couldn't remember, Zhou Dingbian, who was still serious just now, suddenly said: "Little mud monkey, are you still thinking, you should have seen me?" ”

As soon as he heard this nickname, the adult Situ Qingyun's face turned red, and he said with some embarrassment: "Are you Uncle Zhou?" ”

Zhou Dingbian hahadaxiao said: "Think of me? The little mud monkeys back then, I didn't expect to see them for a few years, and they all grew a head taller than me. I heard that you commanded this battle? Yes, at a young age, he dared to surprise his troops, and with the establishment of a company, he took a regiment-level county seat. Not bad indeed! ”

Seeing that the newly arrived deputy brigade commander was so familiar with Situ Qingyun, the guerrillas present were undoubtedly very envious of the relationship with this deputy detachment commander. As for Qi Lin, after Zhou Dingbian's explanation, he learned that Zhou Dingbian was also a student of Situ Baili back then.

When he was in the military academy, because he was often taken care of by Situ Baili, he became familiar with Situ Qingyun, who was with his father at the time. It's just that as he graduated and entered the military, he gradually lost much contact with Situ Qingyun's father and son.

This time, it was only when I saw the telegram reported by the guerrilla detachment that I suddenly wanted to see the son of this teacher. At the same time, it also stabilized the situation in this county, and expanded the results of the Xu Jiajun for the next step and fought for the greatest advantage.

With the arrival of the cavalry battalion, Situ Qingyun and the others could finally start packing up the spoils in the city. Seeing the mountains of guns, ammunition, and food supplies in several military warehouses, Zhou Dingbian undoubtedly looked very happy, and said that he would personally send a report to Xu Bin, the supreme commander of the Xu Jiajun, to ask for merit for the commanders and fighters of the Dulongshan guerrilla detachment.

The fact that a small guerrilla detachment leader can enter the sight of the Supreme Commander undoubtedly means that as long as they do not make mistakes, there will certainly be no shortage of opportunities for promotion in the future. In this regard, Qi Lin and the commanders and fighters were naturally grateful, but Situ Qingyun looked at the credit relatively lightly, on the contrary, he was very interested in Xu Bin, who established this Xu family army.

Because he learned from Zhou Dingbian's mouth that the supreme commander of the Xu Family Army, who already had more than 30,000 troops, was still a minor child. This means that when the other party reaches his age, he may be able to achieve better results than him. Therefore, the young man's unwillingness to admit defeat made Situ Qingyun have a strong interest in this commander.

After counting the supplies in Shui'an City, Zhou Dingbian sent a telegram to Bai Diantang, who was preparing to attack the Anzhou border, and at the same time introduced the old chief's son to Xu Bin in his personal name. hopes that Xu Bin, who cherishes talents, can give Situ Qingyun more opportunities to prove himself.

When Xu Bin, who was far away in the Linzhou headquarters, received a telegram from Zhou Dingbian and learned that Shui'ancheng, an important city in Anzhou, had been occupied by a guerrilla detachment. The one who took the lead in commanding the battle was the eldest son of Situ Baili, who was well-known in the Longhua military circles, and Xu Bin also had a little more appreciation for this twenty-four-year-old Situ Qingyun.

After inquiry, it was learned that although Situ Qingyun did not go to a formal military school, he had followed Situ Baili to live in Longcheng Military Academy since he was a child. In terms of commanding operations, he also has a unique talent for leadership. Xu Bin, who was worried that he had no chance to pull Situ Qingyun onto the big ship, soon took the name of the commander-in-chief of the Xu family's army.

A pioneer independent battalion directly under the leadership of the General Headquarters was established, and Situ Qingyun was appointed as the commander of the independent battalion, and the former head of the guerrilla detachment served as the deputy commander of the independent battalion. The rest of the team members, in addition to the subordinate reorganization of the guerrillas, the source of troops was supplemented by Situ Qingyun himself.

Moreover, in order to let Situ Qingyun show more command talent, Xu Bin also specially ordered Zhou Dingbian to allow the independent battalion to give preferential treatment to the weapons captured in this battle as the equipment of the independent battalion. The station is also temporarily arranged in Dulong Mountain, and when the independent battalion forms combat capability, Xu Bin will hand over the most difficult battles to them, as a sign that good steel is used on the blade.

Holding this telegram, I also felt that the commander-in-chief was a little too fond of the son of this teacher. Although the other party's military merits are similar to the promotion of a battalion commander, they are directly under the leadership of the commander-in-chief, and they are given a separate flag after they become an army. This is the only one since the establishment of Xu Jiajun!

thought that he could get a city defense battalion commander at most, but he turned out to be the deputy battalion commander of the independent battalion, and Qi Lin was undoubtedly very excited. The choice he made at the beginning was undoubtedly very correct. As long as he follows Situ Qingyun and does some aftermath work for the other party, he believes that he can follow Situ Qingyun's footsteps in the future and improve step by step.

Perhaps in the near future, after the expansion of the independent battalion, his position will also be promoted. This means that he used to just want to be a city defense battalion commander, but maybe one day he will have the opportunity to try what it is like to be a regiment commander and brigade commander! After returning to his hometown, isn't it a good thing that there is green smoke on the tomb of Guangzong Yaozu?

For this supreme commander, whom he had never seen before, with only a telegram from Zhou Dingbian, he made an exception to make him the commander of an independent battalion who enjoyed this honor and special care. Situ Qingyun's first reaction was whether this young leader made a decision on impulse.

But after chatting with Zhou Dingbian, he also learned from Zhou Dingbian's mouth that although Xu Bin was not yet eighteen years old. But his command and combat ability, as well as his accurate strategic vision, are not inferior to Situ Qingyun's father. Even Situ Baili, who had been to Linzhou, also lamented that Xu Bin was a handsome talent who had not been born for a hundred years.

These words are enough to prove that Xu Bin's order to serve as the pioneer independent battalion does not seem to be a whim, but really wants to give him a platform to show himself. Whether Situ Qingyun can become a dragon or a tiger in the future may depend on whether he can lead this pioneer battalion to achieve new success!

It was learned that in addition to the more than 100 members of the guerrilla detachment, which would form the main company of a pioneer battalion, the remaining three companies needed Situ Qingyun to figure out a way on his own. The headquarters will transfer about ten young company and platoon officers from Anzhou, and the rest of the squad backbone and soldiers need Situ Qingyun to find a way to solve it on his own.

Regarding their welfare benefits, they naturally enjoy the same veteran treatment as the Anzhou brigade, and the weapons can also be selected from this large number of metric weapons. Even in order to increase the attack power of the pioneer battalion, Xu Bin specially gave them the formation of a platoon-level mortar unit. The artillery will also be sent to the pioneer battalion shortly after. As for how to train the soldiers, etc., it was completely left to Situ Qingyun to arrange and deal with by himself.

A battalion-level unit can have a mortar establishment, which is naturally rare in today's Xu Jiajun, and it is enough to prove that Xu Bin is not a matter of self-determination in forming this young independent battalion. On the contrary, he was eager to see how far this vanguard battalion, which was mostly composed of young officers, could go in the future. If Situ Qingyun really has the ability to build this independent battalion into a model unit for the Xu family army, it means that Xu Bin's expectations for him are not disappointed.

Faced with this somewhat tricky but also tempting test question, Situ Qingyun finally bravely accepted it, and soon selected hundreds of young security corps soldiers who were innocent and mostly between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five among the panicked security group captives.

Tell them that they will undergo a month of training, and after passing the course, they will enjoy a generous treatment that they cannot refuse. And these captives don't have much opinion about who to serve as soldiers, all they can do now is to save their lives, and they also hope to be soldiers who can get more salaries.

For them, sometimes military pay also means money for their lives. Whoever sells their lives is selling, so they naturally want to sell to someone who has more money. What's more, in order to take care of the son of this mentor, Zhou Dingbian lent him the company commander of the cavalry battalion, who was good at prisoner persuasion. Relying on the fan of this company commander and Situ Qingyun's promise, these prisoners finally followed the members of the guerrilla detachment with a relatively calm mind.

With the equipment selected from the warehouse, he embarked on the road back to Dulong Mountain for training. And no one knows, this will open the famous Longhua country a double-handsome journey, in the future when Xu Bin is famous, the name of Situ Dashuai, is also remembered and admired by many officers and soldiers of the Xu family!
