When the headquarters received the telegram reporting the victory of the Independent Battalion forwarded by the 386th Brigade, they could hardly believe their eyes. The boss even joked, "Isn't this bastard Chu Xiong lying about the victory?"
"Boss, even if Chu Xiong dared to lie, Gao Wancheng would never dare to sign this, and the brigade commander would not forward it intact. The Independent Battalion really won a big victory this time, wiping out a field brigade. This Definitely the most annihilated enemies by a whole organization since the War of Resistance!"
The deputy assistant is a real person. He still seriously corrects the boss's jokes, which makes the boss's jokes no longer possible.
"Well, this is definitely a first-of-its-kind victory. Chu Xiong still has two skills in fighting. Report the victory to Yanzhou and commend Chu Xiong and the Independent Battalion."
After being happy, the boss started talking about business, and the deputy counselor continued:
"This time the Independent Battalion captured the equipment of a brigade, but it didn't have much ammunition. The Japanese almost ran out of ammunition and food!
The independent battalion is very stylish. They handed over 5 radio stations to the headquarters, 200 light and heavy machine guns, 3,000 38 guns, 100 grenades, and 5 92 infantry guns;
There are also 20 Wei Yixiao flying thunder cannons and 100 explosive packs that they developed and prototyped at the local arsenal at their base, and the drawings and explosive pack formulas for producing the flying thunder cannons were reported to the headquarters;
Chu Xiong said that this flying thunder cannon has a simple production process and strong firepower. It can kill a squad with one shot and can also blow up iron bastards, gun towers, etc. He suggested promoting it to the entire Eighth Route Army! "
"Because there was too much equipment in this batch, he suggested sending powerful troops to receive it. The Independent Battalion suffered too many casualties this time and was unable to escort this batch of equipment."
The boss couldn't help but be moved after hearing this, and praised "good" three times! Then he said:
"Chu Xiong is a good comrade. This equipment is enough for us to arm three regiments. We can't be stingy anymore!"
"As for the troops escorting the equipment, they will be received by the two main regiments supporting Liu Town. They are close and can organize some fellow villagers to help. This batch of equipment is too important to us."
One day later, in Liu Town, the Independent Battalion received a reply from the headquarters. When Chu Xiong got the telegram, he was stunned and couldn't help but muttered:
"Independent group? Damn it, am I stealing Li Yunlong's role?"
"Old Chu, what kind of independent group are you talking about, what kind of Li Yunlong are you? You must be possessed by evil spirits!"
Gao Wancheng was confused by Chu Xiong's sudden words. He also wanted to know the content of the call back from the headquarters.
"Lao Gao, congratulations on your promotion to political commissar, you have to buy me a drink!"
After Chu Xiong finished speaking, he handed the message to Gao Wancheng with a smile.
After Gao Wancheng took it, he picked out the important ones and read them:
"With immediate effect, the 386 Brigade Independent Battalion will be upgraded to the 386 Brigade Independent Regiment. Gao Wancheng will serve as political commissar, Chu Xiong will serve as regimental commander, and Zhong Guoliang will serve as chief of staff. The establishment and personnel appointments below the battalion will be drafted by the independent regiment party committee and reported to the headquarters for review..."
Gao Wancheng looked at it again, and then he was sure that he was really promoted to the political commissar of the regiment, and was still an independent regiment! It seems that he has really been promoted and it's time for a treat.
"No, Lao Chu, you have been promoted, Zhong Guoliang has also been promoted, the staff has been upgraded, and everyone has been promoted, why should I treat you alone?"
Gao Wancheng finally reacted and immediately protested to Chu Xiong.
"Because you are the political commissar and you are in charge of life. I don't have a dime on me. If you don't invite me, who will?"
"That's right. Lao Chu, you just got back 5,000 silver dollars last time. You handed the bag to me without even holding it to heat. Okay, I'll be generous for once! The whole group will have an extra meal tonight, braised pork and potatoes, that's enough!"
The battalion headquarters, no, it should be called the regiment headquarters now, cheered after hearing the words of the Higher Education Commission;
Finally eating meat again!
"Lao Gao, the 28th Regiment and the New Regiment are coming to receive equipment in the next two days. The two regiments have also helped us a lot this time. We need to receive them well and give each regiment a souvenir. There are still more than 20 flying thunder cannons. There are still 8 gates left, one regiment will support them first, 40 explosive packs, and 10 heavy machine guns per regiment."
"Lao Chu, thank you, you have allowed me to show my face in front of the old captain."
"Brother, I have to thank Captain He for giving me a big political commissar! In addition, prepare a banquet when the time comes, and I'll treat the two big brothers to drinks!"
After Chu Xiong finished speaking, he laughed and left. He had to think about the reorganization of the independent regiment troops. This was a big deal.
Two days later, the 28th Regiment and the New Regiment were ordered to rush to Liuzhen to receive the weapons and equipment handed over to the headquarters by the Independent Regiment. Gao Wancheng was responsible for organizing the people to welcome the brother troops, and the political commissar Gao was responsible for providing food for the more than 2,000 people of the two regiments. arranged.
Chu Xiong hosted a separate banquet at the regiment headquarters for He Wei, Li Tiejun and the two political commissars. The independent regiment was accompanied by Gao Wancheng and Zhong Guoliang.
"Captain Chu, congratulations! What a great joy!"
Li Tiejun started to congratulate his little fellow from afar. Of course, congratulations were only secondary!
This time, the little fellow won a big victory and made a fortune. According to the rules of the Dabie Mountains, everyone who sees it has a share, and this is the most important thing.
"Captain Li, you're welcome, we share the same joy. I would like to thank the two commanders for sending troops to help me this time. Don't worry, I will have enough wine for today."
He Wei joked upon hearing this:
"Captain Chu, if you are in charge of the wine, you can't send us two old brothers away!"
Gao Wancheng happened to come in and quickly answered:
"Old commander, commander Li, comrades' dinner has been arranged. Pork stewed vermicelli. This vermicelli is produced in our base area. It's enough. The staple food is white flour steamed buns!
You can just drink with confidence. Our Commander Chu has already prepared your souvenirs. Each regiment has 8 latest-model flying thunder cannons with 40 explosive packs, and there are also ten chicken necks! "
When the two regiment leaders heard this, their eyes narrowed in laughter. They had already heard that the Independence Battalion had a kind of flying thunder cannon, which exploded into a large area. They handed over twenty guns to the headquarters. This time, they thought that the closest to the water was first served. Yue, asked Chu Xiong for how many doors to open for foreign food. Unexpectedly, Chu Xiong took the initiative and gave them eight doors for each of them. This was a great gift!
It made the two of them blush for a rare moment, but they immediately returned to normal.
Once the important matter was settled, the two of them could concentrate on drinking. First, they introduced the two political commissars to Chu Xiong, and after getting to know each other, they started drinking;
They are all brothers. It is rare to get together. In the future, they will have to cooperate to fight the Japanese. Naturally, they need to keep in touch and bond.
Gao Wancheng originally came from the 28th Regiment, and he and He Wei were old brothers for several years, so the atmosphere was easily stirred up. If I really had to write about men drinking, I wouldn't be able to finish it in ten thousand words, so here... …
The next day, the 28th Regiment and the New Regiment escorted the equipment handed over by the Independent Regiment and left Liuzhen. Chu Xiong and Gao Wancheng also exchanged words of respect with their two old brothers, and then each went back to his home, each to find his own mother, and fight the Japanese together!
