"Brother Qiu Fan, brother Qiu Fan!"
Lao Li, who was feeling depressed, looked up and saw Li Qiufan coming back, and immediately shouted loudly.
"Old Li, who is this?"
Ding Wei looked at the excited Li Yunlong with some doubts.
"Haha, this is our Lao Li's brother!"
After saying that, Li Yunlong ran to Li Qiufan and asked: "Brother, how are you? Where did the brigade commander take you?"
"The brigade commander asked my team to set up an independent battalion, directly under the leadership of the brigade headquarters."
Looking at Li Yunlong, Li Qiufan also felt a little regretful.
"Well, if we, Lao Li, were still in the new group, I would have dragged you over at all costs. This might as well save me from making others jealous."
When Li Yunlong heard that Li Qiufan was directly under the brigade headquarters, he felt a little comfort in his heart. Although it was not his, Lao Li's, others did not get it either.
"Old Li, don't you want to introduce me to your old comrades?"
Ding Wei looked at Li Qiufan and poked Li Yunlong.
"Li Qiufan, Commander of the Independent Battalion, has met Commander Ding!"
Li Qiufan saluted Ding Wei with a standard military salute without waiting for Old Li to speak.
After hearing this, Ding Wei returned the salute in surprise and asked: "Little brother, how do you know me?"
"Well, I heard about it from the brigade commander, haha."
The secret was almost exposed again, so Li Qiufan quickly pulled the brigade commander to take the blame.
"So that's what happened. I said that I, Ding Wei, have just arrived here and I have become famous hahaha."
Ding Wei told a cold joke and then burst into laughter.
"Old Ding, please stop laughing. Let me tell you, our brother is not an ordinary person, and the guy under his command is even more ruthless!"
Lao Li patted Ding Wei, and then said proudly, as if Li Qiufan was his soldier.
"Oh? Lao Li, please tell me, my old comrade."
Ding Wei looked curious. He rarely heard Li Yunlong praise others, and Li Qiufan looked so young.
"When I led the new regiment to break out from Cangyun Ridge, it was our brothers who led the people and directly killed old Japs Sakata's headquarters! The Japs were so beaten that they couldn't hold their heads up!"
Lao Li curled his lips and raised his head, saying proudly.
Li Qiufan blushed a little when he was praised by Lao Li, and he hurriedly pulled Lao Li to stop him from talking.
"That's what happened. I asked you why your new group suffered so few casualties after their frontal breakthrough. It's because brother Qiu Fan paved the way for you."
Ding Wei suddenly realized, and then he knew the reason why the new regiment suffered so few casualties.
"Captain Ding, don't listen to Lao Li's nonsense. I'm not that good. It's just my brothers who can fight."
Li Qiufan waved his hand and said.
"Harm, this is nothing to be modest about. This is all about ability. If I, Old Ding, are in trouble in the future, brother Qiu Fan will help me."
Ding Wei smiled and didn't care, and clasped his fists at Li Qiufan.
The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while before going their separate ways.
Back at the station, Heizi and his people gathered around him: "Brother, are we really following the Eighth Route Army?"
Li Qiufan rolled his eyes: "What, you're not happy?"
"Hey, how could it be? I'm just asking, brother, I'll be where you are!"
Heizi scratched his head and laughed dryly.
Li Qiufan nodded, and then said to Heizi: "Call all the brothers over, and I will say a few words."
After a while, less than 300 brothers remained and stood over, looking at Li Qiufan in confusion.
Li Qiufan looked around at everyone, and then said: "Brothers, from now on I will eat with the Eighth Route Army. What do you think?"
"Leave!"
Everyone shouted in unison that these people were from poor backgrounds, and it was Li Qiufan who gave them food. Even if Li Qiufan asked them to die, these people would not blink an eye.
"Okay! Since you have chosen to stay, we will become a regular army from now on."
"Regular troops must behave like regular troops. Give me a break from your previous loose temper. Otherwise, don't say that I don't treat you as brothers!"
Li Qiufan vaccinated everyone in advance. In fact, there was nothing serious wrong with this group of people, but Li Qiufan was afraid that if they got into trouble, it would be too late.
Everyone took Li Qiufan's words to heart and nodded in unison.
"Kuroko!"
Li Qiufan shouted at Heizi.
Heizi scratched his head and was confused: "What's wrong, brother?"
"Shout to me!"
As he said this, Li Qiufan gave him a kick.
"Hey, here we come!"
Kuroko smiled, then straightened his back and shouted.
"Starting today, I appoint you as the deputy battalion commander of the independent battalion!"
Li Qiufan looked at Heizi solemnly. He gave the position of deputy battalion commander to Heizi, because in case of his absence, only Heizi could lead this group of people.
"Yes!" Heizi replied and gave a decent military salute.
"Erhu!"
"arrive!"
As the voice fell, a burly man stood up.
"From now on, you are appointed as the commander of the first company of the Independent Battalion!"
Next, Li Qiufan appointed two company commanders, the second and third companies, and also established an artillery platoon, with Lao Ma as the platoon leader.
"I don't care about the platoon leader and squad leader below. You three company commanders can discuss with Erhu and give me the list. The entire independent battalion will start training tomorrow. Let's disband!"
After arranging the company commander's position, Li Qiufan, who was below, ignored it and left them to take care of things on their own while he ran back to formulate a training plan.
In the room, Li Qiufan frowned and thought. He was a little worried about which training method to use to train them.
Li Qiufan's first thought was to train according to the training methods of special forces and create a special operations force.
But after thinking about it, he gave up. Not to mention how many people can withstand the intensity of training, the food alone cannot keep up. The greater the intensity of training, the more nutrients you need to consume every day.
And not only food, but also equipment was nowhere to be found. He didn’t have a golden finger, so he couldn’t carry out special operations with a rifle.
I thought that in the end I could only make a compromise and integrate some special operations things into ordinary soldier training, such as hand signals, field survival, etc.
the next day.
Before dawn, Li Qiufan called up all the people in the independent camp, and everyone stood in the open space yawning.
"Please keep your spirits up! You are now a regular army. There may be emergency missions at any time in the future. How can you go to war with your appearance! You thought you were in Cangyun Village!"
Li Qiufan shouted loudly, which shocked everyone to wake up.
Seeing that everyone was awake, Li Qiufan nodded with satisfaction, and then arranged today's training subject: standing in military posture!
Standing in the military posture is a great exercise for soldiers and can hone a person's willpower. This kind of willpower is very necessary in war.
In this way, in the days that followed, everyone in the independent camp began inhumane hell-like training, while Li Qiufan ran to the surrounding villages to recruit new soldiers.
