Soon, a telegram was sent from the new regiment to the headquarters.
The communication soldier quickly brought the received telegram to the deputy commander-in-chief, saluted and said: "Report to the deputy commander-in-chief, the telegram from the new regiment has arrived."
"So fast?" The deputy commander hurriedly took the message and looked at it, with a look of surprise on his face: "Hahaha, this bastard Shen Quan is so awesome, he actually found the place where the Japanese plane crashed."
After waiting for so long, we finally have clues about the Japanese code book and cipher machine.
At this time, the division commander walked in. Seeing the deputy commander-in-chief smiling so happily, he asked, "What made the leader smile so happily?"
The deputy commander held the message in his hand and said: "I asked Shen Quan to find the whereabouts of the Japanese plane crash before, but I didn't expect that he actually found out the specific location."
"This is great!" The teacher also smiled when he heard this: "This kid Chen Quan is so efficient at work!"
The deputy commander nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, this boy seems to have never let me down."
"Leader, do you know why Shen Quan was able to find clues to the Japanese plane crash so quickly?"
"Why?"
"According to the situation reported below, Shen Quan's new group has reached 10,000 people!"
What?
Ten thousand people?
The leader was shocked!
Chen Quan's new regiment is a regiment-level combat unit. How come it has reached 10,000 troops?
This is so fucking terrifying!
The leader was dumbfounded.
Seeing the surprised look on the deputy commander-in-chief's face, the division commander smiled and said, "When I just heard the news, I was even more shocked than you, the leader!"
"I had heard that the New Group was developing rapidly, but I didn't expect the speed to be so terrifying. In just half a year, the New Group has grown from a hundred people to tens of thousands. It's incredible."
After leaning for a moment, the deputy commander came back to his senses and said in shock: "Oh my God, how many things has this kid Shen Quan hidden from us?"
"The last time Wu Jiapo fought, I heard that his new regiment had more than 5,000 people, and in the blink of an eye, it reached 10,000 people.
If he is allowed to continue to develop, I am afraid that within a year or two, this kid will form a corps..."
According to the organization of the Eighth Route Army, a division usually consists of three brigades. A standard brigade has about 7,000 troops, and a division has only a little over 20,000 troops.
However, due to many practical reasons, the strength of many troops has not reached full strength.
For example, Shen Quan's 129th Division now only has more than 17,000 troops (excluding the New Regiment). Therefore, the deputy commander-in-chief and division commander couldn't believe it when the New Regiment reached 10,000 troops.
After a long time, the deputy commander finally came to his senses and said, "That's right, that's right. This kid Shen Quan is a genius who is born to thrive on war. The new regiment has become stronger under his leadership, which is pretty good!"
There are only a handful of united combat units with more than 10,000 troops, not to mention northwest Shanxi, even if you look at the whole of Daxia!
The division commander continued: "At the beginning, the New Regiment suffered heavy losses, so we gave the New Regiment the policy of independent development. I used to think that doing so would have a bad impact, but now looking at the results, it is indeed a wise decision. choose."
"Yes!" the deputy commander said, "Special issues should be treated specially!"
"At the beginning, there were only about a hundred people left in the New Regiment, and even a company could not gather the strength. If they were not given some policies, the New Regiment would have completely collapsed!"
"Now it seems that we still have many areas for improvement in our work. In the future, we must come up with corresponding policies for different teams, and we cannot beat them to death with one stick."
The teacher smiled and said: "In any case, the development of the New Regiment has exceeded our expectations, and since Shen Quan took over from Li Yunlong, the New Regiment has never caused trouble again, which is also a good thing.
Now he has also found the whereabouts of the Japanese crash site for us. Once we get the Japanese code book and cipher machine, this will be of great significance to our next work! "
The deputy commander nodded: "In order to find the Japanese's code book and cipher machine, I gave orders to several teams, but all failed. Now that there are clues here in Shenquan, it can be regarded as a solution to my problem. worry!"
The Japs crash site was wide, so the deputy commander-in-chief naturally would not let the new regiment search alone, so he also mobilized several other troops in the North China region.
Shangguan Yufei is one of them!
But he didn't expect that Shangguan Yufei would be ambushed by Japanese soldiers on the way. He had no choice but to escape to Feihuling to recover from his injuries, and therefore lost contact with his superiors.
Now it depends on Shen Quan whether he can get the Japanese code book.
Division Commander: "Now that the New Regiment has grown stronger, I heard that it has its own intelligence department. If the intelligence is accurate, I believe it won't be long before Shen Quan can find the Japs' lost code book."
…
…
Qingyang Town
New regiment headquarters.
Now that the Japs crash site had been determined, Shen Quan immediately decided to go to Feihuling.
When Zhao Gang learned that Shen Quan was going to Feihuling, he immediately became worried.
Now Shen Quan is the only leader of the New Regiment. If Shen Quan is lost, the New Regiment will fall apart in a short time.
Zhao Gang looked at Shen Quan and said worriedly: "Old Shen, why don't you send Zhang Dabiao to find out the news first? You are the leader, you can't leave the team easily!"
"Old Zhao, don't worry. Xue Min also said when he came back that the bandits in Feihuling used to be part of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong. I might be able to recruit them this time!"
"But Lao Shen, they have become bandits after all. I am still worried about your safety."
"Old Zhao, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Feeling Zhao Gang's concern for him, Shen Quan felt warm in his heart.
Since Shen Quan couldn't be persuaded, Zhao Gang had no choice but to agree, but asked Shen Quan to bring more people to accompany him.
Afterwards, Shen Quan took the commando team of Wei Monk and Long and set off.
We set off at eight in the morning and didn’t arrive at Feihuling until one in the afternoon.
Feihuling, as a branch of the Taihang Mountains, has a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It also occupies a natural danger, and its location is very conducive to combat.
If we attack rashly, we will definitely suffer heavy losses, and large-scale troops will not be able to deploy here.
But when Shen Quan came this time, he did not intend to use force with the opponent, but wanted to incorporate the bandits from Feihuling into his own team without spending a single soldier.
Arriving at the foot of Feihuling Mountain, Xue Min pointed to the mountain and said: "Captain, this is Feihuling!"
"Zhou Weiguo? I'm here!" Shen Quan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Let's go up the mountain. I'll go meet the master of Feihuling!"
For convenience, Shen Quan did not wear military uniform this time, but put on ordinary people's clothes.
After walking for a few minutes, Shen Quan said: "Xue Min, you take the dragon group and sneak up Feihu Ridge from the cliff to conduct reconnaissance. Monk Wei and I enter from the front!"
The two of them broke into Feihu Ridge alone!
This is Shen Quan’s gift to Zhou Weiguo: first with courtesy, then with soldiers!
