I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 307 Establishment of the 1st Rapid Response Brigade

Political Commissar Ding finished his speech, and the division commander announced the new appointment.

Division Commander: "The Taiyue Military Region is now officially established, and the commander is the head of a brigade of a certain division of the Eighth Route Army.

It has two regiments, Cheng and Ye, as well as the Wu Changfeng Regiment and part of the First Death Column.

The Taiyue Military Region has as many as nine counties, and it was also a severely affected area by the Japanese invaders' raids.

The ones who are now holding back the Japanese are Wu Changfeng's regiment and "part" of the First Death Column.

Since Wu Changfeng separated from the New 1st Regiment, the troops have developed vigorously with the support of the guerrilla division.

In addition, there is the support of a certain unit of the First Death Column that appears from time to time.

The Japanese were blocked outside the Taiyue Military Region and could not advance an inch. They really had no temper at all.

This is also the reason why the brigade commander dared to leave his family behind and bring a regiment back for rescue.

In fact, all the leaders above knew that a certain unit of the First Death Column was just a fictitious number.

Even their own Death Squadron did not know how many regiments were under them.

As for Wu Changfeng's regiment, it was only a matter of a piece of paper to separate from Wu Changfeng's brigade.

According to the brigade chief's own guess, Wu Changfeng's regiment might have tens of thousands of people.

At this time, the brigade commander had already received the order and sat down, and the division commander continued to issue orders.

“Order: Four military sub-districts will be established in the Taiyue Military Region this time.

The commander of the first division is headed by Cheng Tuanzhang, who is in charge of the fifth and sixth battalions of the numbered regiment and Wu Changfeng Regiment.

The commander of the Second Division is Commander Ye. He is in charge of the Seventh and Eighth Battalions of the No. 1 Regiment and the Wu Changfeng Regiment. "

The commander of the Third Division..., under whom were the First Death Column, the First Regiment, the Second Regiment, and... several "so-and-so" regiments.

Wu Changfeng will be the commander of the Fourth Division. Wu Changfeng's regiment will be upgraded to the new Second Brigade, with two regiments under its command.

With a buzz, the league cadres below began to discuss when they heard the two appointments.

The focus of everyone's discussion was not Wu Changfeng's regiment, but the fact that it had been split into four battalions by the leader.

In their view, the splitting and transfer of the team are normal.

Although it was painful that their main force was transferred away, no one wanted to be left behind and be branded as a member of "factionalism".

What shocked everyone was that even though Wu Changfeng had four main battalions transferred away, he still had two regiments.

The most surprised people here were the two team leaders Cheng and Ye.

They had also seen the fifth and sixth battalions assigned to them.

It was a large camp of 600 men with strong soldiers and artillery.

From this point of view, the strength of the Seventh and Eighth Battalions assigned to Captain Ye should be the same as that of Captain Cheng.

These two people didn't expect that Wu Changfeng, who usually laughed and joked and kept a low profile, had expanded to this level of strength.

The appointment of Wu Changfeng was planned by Song Wenwan.

In fact, this is also Song Wenwan's selfish desire, because there are so many benefits to joining the number group.

This is a heroic unit with the heritage of the Red Army.

If it weren't for Wu Changfeng's great fame, Song Wenwan would have wanted to give Wu Changfeng to Captain Cheng to be the deputy captain.

Just like that, the division commander, feeling embarrassed to take advantage of others, decided to promote Wu Changfeng to brigade commander.

Of course, with Wu Changfeng's current strength, the position of brigade commander is also suitable for him.

Captain Cheng and Captain Ye would not have any emotions because they did not become brigade commanders.

Whether it is the new Second Brigade or any independent brigade, they all belong to the second-line military organization.

When they arrive on the battlefield, they generally have to obey the command of the regiment.

"The artillery battalion of Lianzhuang Team of Fengu County is directly under the command of the brigade commander of Taiyue Military Region..."

Inside the conference hall, sounds of "ha" expressing gloating were heard one after another.

Now everyone's eyes were on Li Yunlong, who was fidgeting in his chair.

When Lao Li was anxious, he still dared to say a few words to the brigade commander.

But when he met the division commander, he didn't dare to act rashly. After all, he was someone else's guard in his early years.

The brigade commander beside him laughed and said, "Li Yunlong, you really shouldn't be ungrateful.

You already have two artillery battalions, and you are not planning to split one off.

Are you really planning to let me fight with the devils with bayonets?"

Li Yunlong quickly apologized with a smile: "Commander in Chief of the Brigade, according to your reputation, you are qualified to be assigned an artillery division.

It's just an artillery battalion, I'll send you both the men and the artillery."

The brigade commander said: "Comrade Li Yunlong, you are not allowed to fool me.

If you lose even one round of the allocated artillery shells, you won't be able to keep your artillery battalion."

Seeing Li Yunlong's conspiracy being exposed, everyone looked at the brigade chief and gave him thumbs up.

It seems that the scene of making Li Yunlong suffer a setback has become everyone's regular program, comparable to Uncle Ben's skit in the Spring Festival Gala of later generations.

Division Commander: "The Fourth Militia Battalion of Lianzhuang Team and the Zizhong Company will be merged into Comrade Kong Jie's Independent Regiment.

Comrade Lei Shizhu is the deputy commander of the independent regiment and concurrently the commander of the third battalion.

Comrade Shen Quan is the Chief of Staff of the Independent Regiment and concurrently serves as the Commander of the First Battalion, while Comrade Li Wenying remains the Political Commissar of the Regiment.

Kong Jie said excitedly: "Commander, can our Political Commissar Li come back?"

Commander: "It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, why do you need to rest for two months?

But the director of our hospital said that it's not a big problem and he will be able to return to the team in early April."

Thinking that he had poached another one, Li Yunlong's militia battalion.

I thought Li Yunlong would be furious, but I didn't expect him to be as calm as an old dog this time.

Li Yunlong: How can I be unstable now? How dare I be unstable?

Even a good kid like Wu Changfeng was chased away four times.

As a regiment commander, I am thankful that I can leave behind 6,000 troops. How could I dare to have any other thoughts?

Seeing that Li Yunlong was not angry, the division commander nodded to him with satisfaction. Then he continued to announce the new appointment.

"Next, let's talk about the personnel arrangements for the new regiment."

When he heard that it was finally his turn, Lao Li sat up straighter.

Division Commander: "This time the leader of the new regiment will be Comrade Ding Wei from Hebei.

The new regiment was reorganized from the 8th and 9th militia battalions of Lianzhuang Team of Fengu County.

Before the regiment commander takes office, the two captains will jointly organize the troops' study and military training."

Li Yunlong was dumbfounded. What the hell? What big mistake did we make?

Could it be that we were expelled from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters?

That's impossible. There are eight or nine thousand troops here. How can they just give up on them?

Division Commander: “With the approval of the Headquarters Commander, we have established a new “First Rapid Response Brigade”.

The members were composed of the entire original New 1st Regiment, plus the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th and 1st Battalions of the Lianzhuang Team Militia.

The political commissar of the 1st Rapid Reaction Brigade is Comrade Zhao Gang, the former political commissar of the New 1st Regiment.

Comrade Xing Zhiguo serves as the deputy brigade commander, and Comrade Zhang Dabiao serves as the brigade chief of staff.

The rapid reaction brigade is temporarily composed of three infantry regiments, one logistics regiment, and one artillery battalion.

Lu Shanlai was appointed as the head of the logistics regiment, and Wang Chengzhu was appointed as the commander of the artillery battalion.

Of course, if your brigade does not have enough artillery, you will need to solve the problem yourself."

Originally, the rapid reaction brigade should have enough artillery.

However, several leaders still felt that the militia battalion's artillery should be assigned to the brigade chief of the Taiyue Military Region.
