Brigade Headquarters.
"Zhao Gang, I heard that the Independent Regiment has made a fortune, why did you come alone?" The brigade commander asked with a worried look, staring at Zhao Gang who came back to report the situation.
Zhao Gang smiled bitterly. With Li Yunlong's stingy personality, he would like to hold all the good things in his hands, so how could he take the initiative to hand them over.
"Brigadier, our regiment just won a big victory." Thinking of Li Yunlong's instructions before coming, Zhao Gang had to bite the bullet and bear it. "However, the team expanded a bit quickly during this period, and the seized guns and ammunition just filled the gap."
Zhao Gang was right. Once Li Yunlong captured Zhao Jiayu with a full load, he immediately added the original supplementary battalion, known as the New 1st Battalion, and the captured weapons were all used up at once.
Of course, Zhang Dabiao was first come first, and he was the first to implement the daily weaponization of the team. All the rifles were replaced with 38-gauge rifles. The Hanyang-made ones they replaced were officially retained by the new 1st Battalion.
Seeing the power of Gao Jianwu's commando team, Li Yunlong also formed an assault squad in Zhang Dabiao's 1st Battalion, with 3 crooked guns. In addition to 1 crooked gun in each platoon, the 1st Battalion now also has 6 light machine guns. , in addition to two 81mm mortars and three grenade launchers.
Judging from the firepower configuration, although it is much worse than Gao Jianwu's Dagushan Independent Guerrilla Brigade, it is more than doubled than before.
However, Li Yunlong did not issue the remaining mortars. After all, there are only the 1st Battalion and the New 1st Battalion around him. The New 1st Battalion has just come from the militia and they haven't even figured out how to use machine guns. Not to mention high-end weapons.
There are 2 infantry guns, 4 90mm mortars, 4 81mm mortars and 4 92 heavy machine guns left. Li Yunlong is preparing to form a firepower battalion. Now he has just transferred a company from the 1st battalion, and then sent Wang Chengzhu to The ducks are on the shelves and an artillery battery is being formed.
"Stop talking nonsense." The brigade commander didn't listen to Zhao Gang's explanation, "The labor-managed artillery battalion is not fully staffed yet, but he, Li Yunlong, made trouble with the artillery battalion first."
Zhao Jiayu really couldn't hide anything from the brigade commander.
"That's all the other seizures. Bring me the 92 infantry cannon and the 90mm small steel cannon." With a wave of his hand, the brigade commander reduced Li Yunlong's artillery battalion to a single platoon.
Zhao Gang had a bitter look on his face, "Brigadier, Brigadier, you can't do this." After following Li Yunlong for a while, Zhao Gang became a little independent in his thinking.
"No matter what, we must leave some tough guys for our independent regiment. The 92nd Infantry Artillery is a good opportunity to knock on the gun tower. Our independent regiment should at least leave one for us."
Zhao Gang looked bitter, which made the brigade commander look a little strange. It's been a long time since he joined the independent group, and Li Yunlong's stingy spirit has really become 70-80% imitated.
"Zhao Gang, where are your organizational principles? Don't you know that everything captured must be handed over to the public?" the brigade commander said with a straight face, pretending to be angry, but he soon laughed out loud.
"Well, I heard that you won this battle with almost no casualties, and a new main force of the Dagushan guerrillas emerged. I heard that they caused a huge disturbance in Heyuan. Come, tell me what happened. thing."
...
"More than ten cannons, dozens of light and heavy machine guns, and thousands of people." The brigade commander listened to Zhao Gang's simple report. Even the brigade commander who had seen big scenes couldn't help but his eyes widened a lot. He was so shocked that he didn't dare to Believe it or not.
However, the brigade commander knew Zhao Gang well as a person and knew that this high-achieving student was very principled, unlike Li Yunlong who sometimes talked nonsense.
"Did Gao Jianwu say how it developed?" the brigade commander asked, focusing on the key points.
"Yes, their platoon first set foot on Heiyun Village, beheaded the bandit leaders under the cover of night, captured the unsuspecting bandits, and then collected them. In one fell swoop, they developed a team of more than 300 people. It is said that Xie Baoqing's fortune has been accumulated over the years. It was relatively thick. After reorganization, they captured the prisoner-of-war camp and brought in about 700 prisoners of war. They captured the prisoner-of-war camp and strengthened a squadron to annihilate the Japanese reinforcements. They captured a large number of weapons and prepared them, and it suddenly grew to its current scale."
Zhao Gang's description was basically repeated concisely according to Gao Jianwu's statement, but not to mention that the brigade commander couldn't believe it, even Zhao Gang himself was like a fantasy at first.
But when Zhao Gang, Zhao Dalei, Yu Jinshui, Lu Fan and other seniors from the Independent Group listened to the process again, they had to believe it.
These are the things that happened to them following Gao Jianwu. If they colluded to deceive the group, the tough guys they had couldn't lie.
"Brigade Commander, our regiment has unanimously decided to let Gao Jianwu lead the Dagushan guerrillas and continue to develop independently as the Dagushan Independent Brigade of the independent regiment. I am here today to fight for their establishment and a group of grassroots officers. There are also a group of basic cadres who work in base areas. Now they have developed a base area with dozens of villages in one town and a population of tens of thousands."
"Wait a minute!" The brigade commander could still understand what was happening in front of him, but when he heard that there was a base with a population of tens of thousands behind him, he felt that things were a bit mysterious again.
"How long has it been since the Gao Jianwu you mentioned immediately became an independent regiment?"
"It's less than two months," Zhao Gang looked up and recalled, "It's really less than two months."
"Then how the hell did you do it?" The brigade commander couldn't help but continued to swear.
"It is indeed hard to believe, but I have repeatedly confirmed with the old team members that Gao Jianwu is very good at setting up base areas, and he has a thorough understanding of our rent and interest reduction policy. First, he led Zhao Dalei, Lu Fan and others in Xiaogulunao Village to work vigorously sample.
Zhao Dalei, Lu Fan and other veteran team members knew it well, and then they developed several villages to save their fortunes. When they later captured Dagu Town in one fell swoop, Gao Jianwu asked those veteran team members to lead the militia teams and the Women's Rescue Association of the sample villages in Xiaogu Nao. , quickly captured the villages around Dagu Town.
Hi, brigade commander, having said that, I also think that this kid Gao Jianwu is really a talent. Every move he makes takes one step and three steps, as if he is fighting for this kid. That is really a commanding command. "
Zhao Gang looked back on the past battle to annihilate the Kwantung Army's baggage train. If he hadn't been at the scene in person, who would have believed that Gao Jianwu, as the supreme commander at the scene, would receive them so elegantly.
"No, this is a genius." After listening to Zhao Gang's report, the brigade commander was stunned for a while and then said quietly. "There is no problem in giving him an independent brigade. We have never had a tenable main force in Heyuan. It would be good to have Gao Jianwu to cause trouble."
"We have to focus on grassroots officers. After all, his guerrillas are almost all adapted from bandits and prisoners of war, and the composition is complicated." The brigade commander raised his glasses, cleared the shock from his mind, and looked at the map. The location of Dagushan began to enter a state of thinking.
"These company-level cadres cannot be lost. Although we are far away from each other and don't know the situation on the scene, since Gao Jianwu is so capable and has spoken out, there is indeed a shortage in this area. In this way, your independent regiment will deploy 2 to 3 company-level cadres. I am in the New 1st Regiment, and I will transfer 2 more from the New 2nd Regiment, plus a dozen or so newly trained platoon-level cadres, and send them to Gao Jianwu, and the labor and management of this Dagushan Independent Brigade must be taken good care of!"
The brigade commander knew much better than Zhao Gang about the character of the bandits and local troops he had collected.
In the past few years, Route 8 had suffered a lot in this regard, so when it later became an organizational system and recruited miscellaneous players, it was usually a big fish eating small fish model, with large troops eating up small teams, and dispersed placement to prevent backlash.
I don’t know what kind of magic Gao Jianwu used. He was able to combine bandits and prisoners of war for so long and achieve such a brilliant record. The brigade commander secretly became curious and prepared to invite this magical boy to the place one day. The brigade headquarters came to impart some experience.
