The brigade commander admired Xu Dalong, Sun Desheng, Wang Chengzhu and others for their respect for the old commanders and their concern for the old troops. They did not forget their roots and repaid their kindness with kindness.
He nodded towards Xu Dalong and others and said: "You are very good. After all, the Independent Group is your natal family. Never forget their support for you."
Xu Dalong hurriedly said on behalf of Sun Desheng, Wang Cheng and others: "Thank you, brigade commander. The Independent Regiment will always be our natal family, and Commander Li, Political Commissar Zhao and Chief of Staff Zhang will always be our leaders."
Li Yunlong was very satisfied when he heard what Xu Dalong said.
He said: "The brigade commander, chief of staff, Xu Dalong, Wang Chengzhu, and Sun Desheng are all benevolent and righteous. They have never forgotten the Independent Regiment. They want to send any good things home. I felt sorry for them in vain."
Zhao Gang said: "Yes, brigade commander, chief of staff, Xu Dalong and the others were not easy in Mawu Mountain, but once they captured something, they immediately thought of their superiors and old troops. They did an excellent job in this regard."
The banquet officially began. Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and others toasted to the brigade commander and chief of staff.
Xu Dalong and others lined up at the back. When the old leaders finished drinking with the brigade commander and chief of staff, they also toasted to the brigade commander and chief of staff.
During the chat, the brigade commander cordially asked about some conditions of the Mawushan guerrillas, and also affirmed and praised Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu.
Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu were both emotional and a little excited. You know, when they were in the New First Regiment and the Independent Regiment, they were just company and platoon-level cadres. They had no chance to talk to senior officials like the brigade commander, let alone
They said they were sitting together drinking.
They were very grateful that Xu Dalong gave them this opportunity to quickly grow from low-level officers to mid-level commanders.
While the leaders were drinking, the two of them also toasted to Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong is also very satisfied with his two generals, Heng Ha. Although Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu are both very thoughtful, they are still real people. They cooperate with Xu Dalong very well and are very brave in battle. After a lot of battles, they
After testing and training, he has now become an excellent mid-level commander and a good helper for Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong picked up his wine glass and greeted the two of them. He said sincerely: "Desheng, brother Chengzhu, our Mawushan guerrillas' achievements today are inseparable from the efforts of the two of you. I'd like to toast you two."
, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your support in work.”
Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu sincerely admired Xu Dalong. Sun Desheng said: "Captain, I am a rough guy and I don't know what nice words to say. Anyway, I will follow you from now on. I will fight wherever you point me. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will not say half a word."
No word."
Wang Chengzhu also said: "Brother Desheng is right, what he means is what I mean."
"Cheers!" The three people clinked their glasses together and drank them all in one gulp.
When Li Yunlong saw the three brothers drinking, he also picked up the wine glass and said: "Dalong, Desheng, Chengzhu, you three boys did a good job. I didn't hurt you in vain. You gave me and our independent group leader face."
You usually toast to me, and I will toast you today too."
Xu Dalong, Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu all respected Li Yunlong very much. When they saw the old regiment leader toasting to them, they hurriedly held the wine glasses with both hands and expressed their gratitude to the old regiment leader.
The brigade commander and chief of staff were both in a good mood, chatting and laughing at the banquet. In the end, they both drank a little too much. They were too drunk, so Xu Dalong arranged for a car to take them back.
After the limousine drivers sent the brigade commander, chief of staff and others to the brigade headquarters, according to Xu Dalong's instructions before leaving, they simply left the limousine there and returned to the independent regiment.
Xu Dalong did this because he saw that the brigade commander and the others were either riding horses or riding motorcycles. He felt that it was unreasonable for a small guerrilla leader to ride in a car, so he decided to leave these cars at the brigade headquarters.
Honor the leaders.
Of course, this is where Xu Dalong showed off that the Mawushan guerrillas continued to win battles and seized many cars. After returning to the base area, they could just drive other cars.
The next day, the brigade commander and others sobered up and heard from the guards that Xu Dalong had left two cars for them. Knowing that this was Xu Dalong's sincere wish, they felt very happy and left them without saying anything.
The brigade commander and chief of staff were very satisfied with Xu Dalong's Mawushan guerrillas. They never caused trouble to their superiors, and they quickly honored their superiors when they had any good things. Who wouldn't like such subordinates?
That morning, the leaders of each regiment, as well as Xu Dalong and others, received a notice from the brigade headquarters, asking them to rush to the brigade headquarters to hold a combat meeting.
Xu Dalong, Sun Desheng, and Wang Chengzhu now no longer have cars, so they also ride horses to the brigade headquarters with Li Yunlong and others.
Accompanying Xu Dalong and others was Cui Zhenyue. In the notice from the brigade headquarters, Cui Zhenyue was named to participate in this combat meeting.
At noon, the leaders of each regiment rushed to the brigade headquarters and prepared to have lunch at the brigade headquarters.
At this time, they unexpectedly discovered that not only the heads of the original five regiments came to attend the combat meeting, but also the heads of the 70th and 71st regiments, as well as an old acquaintance, the new
Ding Wei, leader of the first regiment.
Ding Wei, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie are all old comrades-in-arms, so they naturally became friendly after meeting. When he saw Xu Dalong, he also greeted him warmly.
While Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and others were talking, Xu Dalong, Wang Chengzhu, and Sun Desheng were already waiting aside. When they saw Ding Wei turning his face, they hurriedly stepped forward to stand at attention and salute, and said respectfully: "Hello, Commander Ding."
Today's Mawushan guerrillas have strong troops and outstanding military achievements, and have already won the respect of leaders at all levels.
Ding Wei was very happy to see that Xu Dalong and others were very respectful to him and showed no pride at all. He shook hands with the three of them cordially and greeted them.
Ding Wei said happily: "Brothers Dalong, Sun Desheng, Wang Chengzhu, you guys did a great job in Mawu Mountain. I heard that you also built a chariot brigade. This time I want to see it.
Xu Dalong said: "Thank you for the chief's praise. The Mawushan guerrillas have achieved some small results. We still have to thank Captain Ding for his great help."
Xu Dalong's words were not false compliments. Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu were members of the New Regiment. Although Li Yunlong wanted them out, if Commander Ding did not let them go, others could not say anything.
In this sense, Captain Ding indeed helped a lot.
Ding Wei smiled and said: "Brother Dalong, they all say that you are upright and never forget your roots. It's true. Li Yunlong is a lucky guy. I got to know you first. Otherwise, I won't let you leave Xinyi Tuan no matter what."
