"Isn't Li Yunlong very capable? It's time to give full play to his strengths!"
The division commander spoke out Li Yunlong's arrangement proposal, "I propose that Li Yunlong be divided into the Taiyue Army Division, and we will provide some help and let him develop the army on his own!"
The deputy commander thought about it seriously and finally agreed to the proposal, "I agree, let's talk about your specific arrangements!"
The division commander told him the arrangement told by the brigade commander, "The 386th Brigade will provide the backbone and weapons of a company to Li Yunlong, and give him half a year of development time to build his own troops!"
The deputy commander was stunned, "How can he be so willing?! Isn't this a disguised demotion for him?!"
If he hadn't known about Lao Chen's other conditions and Li Yunlong's brother who suddenly appeared, the division commander would have thought that he would still be punishing Li Yunlong.
"Haha, what's more, during the development period, all seizures do not need to be handed over. Unless there are special circumstances, we will not proactively issue orders to them!"
"The most important thing is to simply not give him clear organizational regulations. After half a year, as long as he, Li Yunlong, can raise a regiment, he will still be the regiment leader. If he can raise a division, it doesn't matter if he becomes the division commander!"
The deputy commander raised his chin, "Let me tell you, you have enough confidence in Li Yunlong! Where do you get the confidence?!"
The division commander no longer concealed anything and revealed that Li Yunlong might have obtained a stable source of arms.
The deputy commander laughed out loud, "Humph, now that Li Yunlong doesn't have the binding curse, and he also has the Sea-Dinging Needle, isn't he going to poke a hole in the sky!"
The teacher also laughed loudly, "Hahaha... Then the one who should have a headache is the little devil!"
"By the way, who should be appointed as the replacement for the new regiment?"
The deputy commander thought for a moment and went through the personnel list in his mind, "How is Ding Wei? He just completed the handover two days ago and is preparing to go to Yan'an from Jizhong to study!"
The division commander was impressed by him, "Absolutely, Ding Wei is very capable, and he is Li Yunlong's old comrade in the Fourth Front Army!"
The deputy commander-in-chief immediately made the decision, "Okay, I will give the order to Ding Wei right now!"
In this way, Ding Wei followed the original trajectory and took over the position of leader of Li Yunlong's new regiment, and got a big deal!
Ding Wei and his guards, who had just passed through Wanjia Town, were discovered and pursued by a group of puppet cavalry.
While fighting and escaping, Ding Wei did not forget to covet the puppet cavalry equipment of that battalion. Finally, with the help of his brother's troops, the crisis between the two was relieved.
When he learned that it was someone from the headquarters, Ding Wei knew that he would not be able to go to Yan'an this time. "Okay, something happened again!"
Soon, Ding Wei arrived at the Eighth Route Army headquarters after a long journey. Before entering the cave, he arranged his clothes and straightened his armed belt.
Walking into the cave dwelling, passing by the hurried confidential documents, I came to the command room and saw the deputy commander-in-chief and deputy chief of staff who were discussing.
"Report!"
The deputy commander-in-chief and deputy chief of staff raised their heads together and saw Ding Wei saluting.
"Hello, Chief! Ding Wei, the leader of the 28th Regiment, has been ordered to report! Please give instructions!"
The deputy commander-in-chief and deputy chief of staff came to Ding Wei happily, "Haha, Ding Wei!"
"I haven't seen you for several years, and I'm getting more and more energetic!" As he said that, the deputy commander punched Ding Wei with a smile.
"How's it going? Did you encounter any trouble on the way here?"
The deputy commander-in-chief knew that Ding Wei's journey here had been uneventful.
"It's okay, I met a few thieves on the road, but I sent them away!" Ding Wei was confident and dismissed his experience lightly.
The deputy commander-in-chief was very satisfied with Ding Wei's momentum, and the deputy chief of staff paved the way for this temporary transfer, "Ding Wei, you have also seen along the way that the enemy and we are stubborn. The situation is extremely complicated!”
Ding Wei naturally picked up the topic, "Indeed, the Japanese, the puppet army, the Central Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army, and those in our base area all have their own territories!"
The deputy commander spoke very directly, taking the responsibility on himself, "Time is pressing, let's make a long story short, I canceled your order to study in Yan'an!"
"The reason... is very simple. I lack military cadres here. We will talk about learning later. Especially for the army you are going to this time, it is difficult to decide on the candidates. In the end, I decided to find you, Ding Wei!"
The deputy commander-in-chief fully expressed his trust in Ding Wei, "You will report to the 129th Division immediately and you will be appointed as the leader of the new regiment!"
Hearing this, Ding Wei reacted immediately, isn't this Li Yunlong's group?
And didn’t I just hear that this kid led a new group to kill Sakata and made a great contribution? It's only been a few days since the whole army was informed? Did he, Old Li, make a mistake again?
"New regiment? Li Yunlong's troops?!"
The deputy chief of staff answered Ding Wei's doubts and nodded affirmatively, indicating that it was exactly what you thought, "Yes, it's Li Yunlong!"
"You are old comrades of the Fourth Front Army. Because of this, we consider you to be the most suitable candidate!"
Ding Wei suddenly realized that this kid Lao Li must have gotten into trouble again.
The deputy commander said that he could not be spoiled, "You are in Jizhong and do not understand the specific situation. Li Yunlong has made meritorious service, but he did so under the premise of disobeying orders on the battlefield!"
"After the organization decided, I removed him from the position of group leader, and you take his place!"
"Go to the 129th Division immediately to complete the handover procedures, and bring him the organization's decision on Li Yunlong's punishment!"
After receiving the order, Ding Wei readily accepted it and solemnly said goodbye to the deputy commander-in-chief and deputy chief of staff, "Take care, old chief!"
Then with the appointment, Ding Wei rushed to the 129th Division headquarters without stopping and met with the division commander and the 386th Brigade Commander.
The division commander and brigade commander looked at each other and smiled, "Haha, Ding Wei is here, I will handle the handover procedures for you immediately!"
"Ding Wei, this new group is in your hands, so don't let it slip!"
Ding Wei raised his head confidently, "Sir, don't worry, he can't collapse as long as I'm here!"
The brigade commander's mysterious smile made Ding Wei a little confused, "When we arrive at the new regiment, there may be a surprise waiting for you!"
After hearing this, Ding Wei secretly wondered in his heart, could there be any treasure in Lao Li's new group? Infantry artillery?
The brigade commander didn't know what to say, but instead looked like he was watching a show, "You'll know when you go there. You have to be mentally prepared, maybe Li Yunlong will scold you when he sees you!"
Ding Wei also laughed, "Ha, then I have to praise Li Yunlong in person!"
We are all old comrades in arms, who is following whom?
Soon, after completing the handover procedures, Ding Wei led the guards through the mountains and ridges, and finally arrived at Xingjia Village, where the new regiment was stationed.
After passing the guard post and entering the village, Ding Wei observed carefully and looked at several groups of soldiers passing by. He couldn't help but nodded, "Lao Li, this guy is not bad. The troops are in good spirits and he can do his job well!"
At this time, another group of soldiers happened to pass by. Ding Wei narrowed his eyes and immediately noticed the difference.
"What kind of gun is this? Is this the first time we've seen you?"
And not only was the gun seen for the first time, but the bullet belt on the soldier was also gone, replaced by several ammunition bags around his waist!
