"It's all full of stuff?"
The brigade commander was a little surprised. Three months ago, Li Qiufan had less than 300 people. Unexpectedly, it increased to more than 400 people in three months.
"Yes, they are all made up."
Li Qiufan nodded and said.
The brigade commander nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the original idea of letting Li Qiufan establish an independent battalion was right. He was a good team leader.
"That's right. It just so happens that a college student is coming to our place in the next few days, and he will be assigned to your independent camp as an instructor."
The brigade commander said happily to Li Qiufan.
When Li Qiufan heard that an instructor was to be arranged, he didn't think much about it and nodded his head in agreement.
He didn't stay long at the brigade headquarters. After unloading the equipment, he took the people back to the station.
After returning to the station, Li Qiufan first issued guns to the recruits, and then transferred dozens of good soldiers from each company to form a machine gun platoon using the six captured crooked guns. The only drawback was that the machine gun platoon did not have heavy machine guns.
After forming the machine gun platoon, Li Qiufan assigned the five grenade launchers to Lao Ma, and then considered the formation of the cavalry company.
But after thinking for a while, he discovered a problem, that is, he ran out of guns again!
Previously, there were only more than a hundred rifles left. I originally planned to form a cavalry company, but I forgot that there were still new recruits. After dividing the rifles, I had nothing to do.
Li Qiufan slapped his forehead, secretly thinking that he had miscalculated, and then looked up to the sky and sighed: "Goldfinger, when will you come!"
I had no choice but to let go of the Lancer Company, but it was useless to raise more than a hundred military horses by myself, so I could only take them to the brigade headquarters again and exchanged two boxes of mortar shells and a Thousands of bullets, and was laughed at by the brigade commander.
Three days later, the independent battalion was training on the open ground, and suddenly a sentry from outside the village came in to report.
"Report to the battalion commander, there are two people outside. One is wearing the uniform of our Eighth Route Army and the other is wearing the uniform of the National Army. They say they are here to find you."
Li Qiufan was a little surprised when he heard what the sentry said. Why did the Eighth Route Army people come to him with the national army? What was going on.
After rubbing his head, Li Qiufan decided to take a look first, and then followed the sentry towards the entrance of the village.
When they were approaching the entrance of the village, Li Qiufan saw the two of them clearly, but was shocked. He rubbed his eyes and looked again.
"Monk Zhao Gangwei?"
Li Qiufan couldn't help but exclaimed that it was Zhao Gang and the monk standing at the entrance of the village. Li Qiufan thought he was dazzled.
"Hello, Battalion Commander Li, my name is Zhao Gang, and I am an instructor assigned to the Independent Battalion by the headquarters!"
Zhao Gang said with a military salute after seeing Li Qiufan.
Li Qiufan was still a little confused and returned a military salute blankly.
The monk looked at the stunned Li Qiufan and couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous, wondering why the battalion commander of the Eighth Route Army acted like a fool.
As if he felt the monk's eyes, Li Qiufan came to his senses and held Zhao Gang's hand.
"Hello, the brigade commander said before that he would send an instructor over. Welcome."
After being polite, Li Qiufan took Zhao Gang and the monk into the village.
Li Qiufan looked at Zhao Gang on the way and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Old Li, this is really not because I want to poach you, I really didn't expect it either!"
All the way to the open space where soldiers trained, Li Qiufan asked Heizi to gather the people.
"Brothers, this is the instructor appointed by the headquarters to our independent battalion. Everyone applauds and welcomes him!"
Li Qiufan pointed at Zhao Gang and introduced the soldiers, and then there was a roar of applause in the open space.
"Battal Commander, it doesn't have to be like this. I'm new here. I can just get in touch with my brothers slowly in the future."
Zhao Gang waved his hand and said modestly.
Seeing this, Li Qiufan sighed to himself, "Look, what a humble and polite person you are. Old Li, you are really a bad example to others!"
After the introduction, Li Qiufan took the two of them to the small courtyard where he lived.
"Forgot to ask, who is this?"
Li Qiufan pointed to the monk and asked Zhao Gang. Although he knew, he still had to go through some formalities.
"Oh, this is the national army brother I rescued on the road. He ran away from the Japanese prison camp."
Zhao Gang looked at the monk and then said to Li Qiufan.
"My name is Wei Dayong, and I used to be a member of the Central Army."
The monk's face was filled with disdain, and he raised his head and said to Li Qiufan.
"Oh? From the Central Army? The Central Army is awesome. Those weapons and equipment are so awesome."
Li Qiufan pretended to be surprised and praised the Central Army.
The monk looked even more proud when he heard Li Qiufan's compliment.
But Li Qiufan changed his tone and said: "The Central Army is so powerful, why did you end up in a prisoner camp?"
Zhao Gang frowned when he heard Li Qiufan's words. He was about to speak to persuade but was stopped by Li Qiufan.
The monk immediately became furious when he heard Li Qiufan's closure and glared at Li Qiufan.
"What, you don't accept it?"
Li Qiufan looked at the monk playfully and asked.
"Humph, I don't accept it!"
The monk snorted coldly and said coldly to Li Qiufan.
"Since you don't accept it, why don't you make some gestures?"
Seeing that the monk had taken the bait, Li Qiufan continued to speak.
"Battal Commander, Wei Dayong once became a monk in the Shaolin Temple and had extraordinary skills. In the prisoner camp, he even knocked down three or four Japanese with his bare hands. Don't do anything to him."
When Zhao Gang heard that Li Qiufan was going to compete with the monk, he anxiously advised him.
Li Qiufan waved his hand to Zhao Gang: "It doesn't matter, saying that I knocked down three or four people, who knows if it's bragging!"
Hearing Li Qiufan say that he was bragging, the monk became even more angry and immediately hit Li Qiufan.
Li Qiufan had been paying attention to the monk's reaction. He didn't panic when he saw the punch. He sidestepped and grabbed the monk's wrist with his left hand. He threw the monk to the ground with a throw over his shoulder.
"Haha, are you trying to sneak attack? You can't do a sneak attack either!"
Looking at the monk on the ground, Li Qiufan continued to mock.
The monk couldn't stand this kind of humiliation. He stood up like a carp, and after he stood firm, he kicked Li Qiufan with a high whip.
Li Qiufan raised his arms and carried him hard, but his feet were so stunned that he didn't move even half a step. The monk's eyes shrank when he saw this scene. He knew his own strength. He didn't expect that the battalion commander was just shaking when he carried him. Shake your body.
When the monk was retracting his legs and turning around, Li Qiufan responded with a high-whip kick, not being disrespectful.
Seeing Li Qiufan's high-whip-legged monk, he didn't hide. He chose to resist this attack purely out of anger.
But when Li Qiufan's leg whip hit his arm, the monk secretly thought something was wrong. A huge force came from Li Qiufan's leg, and the monk's body lost its center of gravity and flew into the air.
After flying more than two meters, the monk rolled on the ground before standing up. His face changed drastically, and his arms were trembling slightly.
