Feng Yi's words still counted, and at dawn, they appeared in the Tianmu Mountain Range, and the whole team was neat, talking and laughing and returning to the brigade base.

After leaving their families, the recruits hid their reluctance and longing, joked with each other, and tried to adapt to their new identity with the encouragement and comfort of the veterans.

Back in the familiar camp, Feng Ye did not immediately arrange training, this toss, whether it was a veteran or a recruit, was physically and mentally exhausted, and they needed to rest; In Feng's understanding, proper rest helps to improve the quality of training.

After Feng Ye woke up, he was called to the brigade headquarters, and after dinner, the returning recruits gathered together in piles and began their own happiness crookedly.

"Captured Xinhang, annihilated more than 100 Japanese soldiers, and annihilated more than 50 people of a complete Japanese squad in the First Battle of Nameless Village, and captured a large number of weapons and ammunition; Feng Yi, I really didn't misread you. ”

Mei Chunhua looked at the somewhat haggard Feng Yi, with a smile on his face that could not be concealed.

"I don't count how many devils have been killed in the battle in Nameless Village, I don't know how many."

Feng Ye shook his head, for uncertain killings, Feng Ye never put on his head.

"You don't need to count, the traitors you pressed back have all been confessed, and they testify to you, you don't have to worry; I have already reported your merits to the division commander, and when I return to the 11th Division, your letter of appointment will be issued immediately. ”

"Don't be inhibited!"

Mei Chunhua smiled and waved his hand, and his two eyes were about to laugh into a slit, so many people in the Su Wan detachment were tossing behind the enemy, and the one who destroyed the enemy the most was his own direct battalion, how could he not be happy.

"Zla!"

Feng Yi was not polite, and ordered one for himself, the taste of nicotine stimulated his nerves, making him a little sober from the confusion.

"Do you think that the lieutenant colonel battalion commander of the direct battalion is more suitable for you, or the lieutenant colonel deputy regiment commander is more in line with your merits? You still have a choice, and I will report your thoughts to the division commander. ”

Mei Chunhua asked Feng Ye with a smile, he actually wanted Feng Ye to continue to serve as the battalion commander of the battalion directly under him, but the division commander Peng Shan already had the idea of letting Feng Ye be promoted to the deputy commander of the 62nd Regiment and train him as the commander of the next batch of regiments.

"It's up to the chief."

Feng Yi paused for a moment, he didn't know how to answer; If he wants to be promoted, of course, he will be the deputy regiment commander, and under the intensity of the war, maybe one day he, the deputy regiment commander, will be corrected, and then he will have some autonomy in the war; Although the battalion commander directly under him is a regular position, this position is more often just at the disposal of the brigade headquarters and undertakes the work of attacking fortifications or filling in gaps, and on the battlefield, it is the place with the highest death rate; However, the direct battalion has an advantage, it will never lack soldiers, weapons and ammunition, and it has a firepower advantage that ordinary infantry battalions cannot match, and can inflict greater damage on the battlefield.

"The Japanese army is menacing, Chief Li has just been miserable on the battlefield in Xuzhou, and then the Japanese army should attack Wuhan in a big way, as the government's accompanying capital, it is impossible not to fight the battle of Wuhan, and it is a matter of time before the 11th Division goes to the battlefield in Wuhan."

Mei Chunhua looked at the combat map on the wall, as a brigade commander, although he came to guerrilla behind enemy lines, his eyes never took his eyes off the frontal battlefield.

"You may ask why the 11th Division is bound to enter the war, the government has so many infantry divisions around Wuhan; As the elite 10th Division, the 74th Army, etc., are all waiting there; That's because we are the elite of the civil engineering department, the elite of the elite of the national government, the defense of Nanjing has made us suffer from the tongue of miscellaneous cards, the leader absolutely let us go up and play those miscellaneous cards, this is inevitable. ”

Mei Chunhua muttered to himself, the recent exchange of telegrams had made him feel the arrival of the storm.

"The 31st Brigade needs to have a commando team that dares to fight and fight, and the commander of this commando team must be brave and good at fighting, and must attack and defend at a critical time; This time I came behind enemy lines, I have been looking for this person, and I have been investigating all the battalion commanders of the 61st Regiment and the 62nd Regiment, and now, I have found that person, it is you. ”

Mei Chunhua did not hide his intentions, and stared at Feng Yi in a daze.

"Brigade commander, fight devils, I didn't say it, even if it is to be an infantryman, I will definitely not back down again."

Feng Yi nodded, he understood the brigade commander's thoughts, Mei Chunhua said this, he just hoped that he would stay in the battalion directly under him, connect the battalion directly under him into a sharp knife, and give the devil a fatal blow when he needed it.

"In the past, only the guard company of the direct battalion could be called elite, and the others were auxiliary troops; You are now reorganizing the battalion directly under you as the deputy battalion commander, except for the communication squad and the sanitary platoon, the rest of the troops will be unified and trained by you, weapons, ammunition, food, no matter what it is, there is no limit, I need you to build the battalion directly under you in the shortest possible time; I need a real elite battalion, you understand? ”

Mei Chunhua looked at Feng Yi, this was no longer an order, more like a please.

"Yes, brigade commander, starting tomorrow, all the battalions under the command will be trained, including your guards."

Feng Yi threw away the cigarette butt and saluted, he felt Mei Chunhua's anxiety.

"You don't want to keep the Japanese crooked handles and Type 38 rifles, and all the bullets must be handed in, and all the battalions directly under the battalion must be reequipped with formal and Czech style; There is no limit to the ammunition you can use for training, you don't have to worry; A month, you have a maximum of a month; Do a good job! ”

Mei Chunhua patted Feng Ye on the shoulder.

"Yes, brigade commander, I'll go back and prepare for tomorrow's training."

After Feng Yi saluted, he turned to leave.

"Battalion Commander Feng, this is the current situation of the entire directly subordinate battalion in terms of establishment, personnel, and weapons."

As soon as Feng Yi walked out of the brigade headquarters, the battalion commander Wang Tongguang stopped him, and behind him, a guard was holding a stack of notebooks.

"Battalion commander!"

Feng Yi stood up and saluted.

"I'm just a nominal battalion commander, and when your letter of appointment comes down, I won't even hang up my name, and treat these brothers well, they are all warriors who have survived a hundred battles."

Wang Tongguang slapped the roster and reluctantly handed it over to Feng Yi, he was not reluctant to take the position of battalion commander, but he was reluctant to give up the brothers in the roster.

It was already very late at night, Feng Ye was still lying on the table looking at the situation of the direct battalion, he actually thought that he already knew a lot about the direct battalion, but until he saw the information in front of him, he found that he had underestimated the direct battalion before.

Although the battalion directly under the 31st Brigade is only a battalion-level establishment, its number is almost the same as that of a main infantry regiment, and in addition to the reconnaissance company, guard company, baggage company, engineer company, sanitary platoon, and communication squad, there are also death squads, labor battalions, supplementary companies, cavalry companies, and so on that Feng Ye has not come into contact with.
