Soon after, Xu Dalong, Wang Limin and Huang Jingzhong received the notice and went to the conference room of the brigade headquarters for a meeting.
After entering the conference room, I saw that in addition to the brigade commander, chief of staff and others, there were dozens of cadres from the underground party armed forces sitting inside.
The brigade commander said: "Xu Dalong, Brigadier Wang, and Chief of Staff Huang, let me introduce to you. These are the Zhenggong cadres assigned to your independent brigade. From now on, they will work with you in the independent brigade."
The brigade commander first said to the cadres: "Let me introduce to you, these three are the leaders of the independent brigade, brigade commander Wang Limin, Zheng Commissioner Xu Dalong, and chief of staff Huang Jingzhong."
The Zhenggong cadres all looked at these three people curiously. When they were introduced to Xu Dalong, although they had already heard of Xu Dalong, they were still a little surprised to see Xu Dalong so young.
Everyone has already heard that Xu Dalong is a recruit who has been in the army for just over a year and was born in a cooking class.
They didn't expect that he could be so powerful at such a young age. Not only did he achieve amazing results, fight so many beautiful battles, and also create the Mawu Mountain base, they all found it a bit incredible.
Zhenggong cadres burst into warm applause.
Next, the brigade commander introduced those Zhenggong cadres one by one.
The first to be introduced were Gao Zhiyong, the newly appointed deputy commissioner of the independent brigade, and Lu Xiaosong, director of the brigade's political department.
Gao Zhiyong is in his early 30s, with a medium-to-high build, a round face, and a pair of glasses. He looks very elegant. He was originally the deputy section chief of the Education Section of the Propaganda Department of the Taiyue Military Region. This time he was transferred to the Independent Brigade as deputy chief.
Commissioner Zheng.
Lu Xiaosong is twenty-seven or eighty years old, short, dark, lean and capable. He was originally the deputy Zheng commissar of the Supplementary Third Regiment, but this time he was transferred to serve as the director of the Zheng Zhi Department of the Independent Brigade.
Other Zhenggong cadres serve as Zheng Committee members, deputy Zheng Committee members, directors of the Zheng Management Department of each regiment of the independent brigade, instructors of each battalion, and company-level instructors.
After the introduction, Wang Limin, the commander of the independent brigade, welcomed the arrival of these Zhenggong cadres and delivered a warm speech on behalf of the independent brigade.
He said: "You are all veteran brothers who have been in the army for many years and have been tested for a long time. Not only do you have a high degree of Zhengzhi awareness, but you also have rich Zhengzhi work experience. With your arrival, the independent brigade will definitely accelerate its transformation into a qualified team.
The People's Army has transformed into a strong and powerful fighting force, and you are welcome to join the Independence Brigade."
Xu Dalong's speech was very short, clean and consistent with his own temperament, which left a deep impression on the Zhenggong cadres present.
The brigade commander and chief of staff gave some instructions and then left, leaving the conference room behind so that Xu Dalong, Wang Limin and Huang Jingzhong and the Zhenggong cadres could take the time to get acquainted with each other.
Huang Jingzhong introduced the basic situation of the Independent Brigade, and Xu Dalong also introduced the basic situation of the Mawushan base area.
Soon after, Xu Dalong, Wang Limin and others bid farewell to the brigade commander, chief of staff and others and returned to the Mawushan base area.
Before leaving, Li Changshui came to see him off and once again told Xu Dalong to hurry up and find the afternoon of finding the batch of treasures, weapons and ammunition.
Xu Dalong sent a telegram to Zheng Xirong, asking him to go to Ping'an County. In order to appease Wang Xinmin's mood, he also specially approved Su Xiaoyan to follow Zheng Xirong.
Guancheng County.
Xu Dalong and Wei Monk led the special forces to escort Zheng Gong cadres to the independent brigade. After arranging work for them, they held a meeting of cadres above the company commander of the independent brigade.
One of the items on the agenda of the meeting was Xu Dalong’s report on the situation of the anti-Japanese struggle.
Before making the report, Xu Dalong announced some good news on behalf of the Mawushan Guerrillas. In order to show his attention and support for the Independence Brigade, Xu Dalong decided to allocate 12 infantry fighting vehicles, 20 military trucks, and 2 military trucks from the Mawushan Guerrillas to the Independence Brigade.
A car, 12 motorcycles, 4 Type 92 infantry guns, 24 60mm mortars, 50 Czech light machine guns, as well as a large amount of ammunition, 30,000 oceans, and a large amount of military uniforms, uniforms and other supplies.
The officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade enjoy the same salary benefits as the officers and soldiers of the Mawushan Guerrilla Force.
The officers of the Independent Brigade saw Xu Dalong's strong support for them in real money and money, and deeply felt the sincerity of the Mawushan guerrillas towards them, and everyone burst into warm applause.
Next, Xu Dalong formally gave them a situation report.
The situation report made by Xu Dalong was similar to what he gave to Wang Limin and Huang Jingzhong last time.
The officers of the Independent Brigade, including the newly arrived Zhenggong cadres, did not expect that Xu Dalong's vision was so far-reaching and his knowledge was so profound. Only then did they understand why he could achieve such great achievements.
Everyone does not understand. Xu Dalong is a boy from the mountains who was born as a farmer. He has only been in the army for one year. How did he learn so much profound knowledge, and how did he develop such excellent military literacy and commanding skills? In short, the officers
They all admire Xu Dalong very much.
In the days that followed, Xu Dalong handed over the leadership of the Zheng Zhi work related to the Independent Brigade to Deputy Zheng Zhiyong and Political Department Director Lu Xiaosong.
Xu Dalong said: "Deputy Political Commissar Zhou and Director Lu, you are all experts in political work. I don't have much experience, so the political work of the Independent Brigade mainly depends on you. I am only responsible for providing logistical support.
"
Gao Zhiyong looks gentle and gentle, but he is impatient and speaks quickly.
He said: "Captain Xu, you are the Zheng Committee member of the independent brigade appointed by your superiors. You cannot be the boss of the independent brigade. Your prestige in the army is very high, and you will be relied on to hold the battle in critical moments."
Xu Dalong said: "Easy to say, easy to say. The work mainly depends on you, and I will definitely cooperate with your work."
Zheng Zhi's ideological work is a matter that requires a lot of patience and a lot of energy. It requires long periods of time with the officers and soldiers of the army. Xu Dalong does not have so much time. He still has many things to do. He believes that from the old army
These Zhenggong cadres who came here are all capable of civil and military skills. With them here, there is no need to worry about whether the independent brigade can bring them out.
He has more important things to do now, which is to get money and supplies to feed the officers and soldiers of the Mawushan guerrillas and the Independence Brigade.
Wang Xiaohu is now the director of the Logistics Department of the Mawushan Guerrilla Force and the squadron leader of the Directly Affiliated Comprehensive Squadron. He is the de facto steward of the guerrilla force.
After breakfast that day, he came to Xu Dalong with his account book and said with a sad face: "Captain, there are more than 6,000 people at once. Although there is no problem with food at the moment, we don't have much cash in hand. Military pay will be paid monthly."
, it can only last for three months at most. I still have to find a way to get money quickly.
The arsenal has just reported that they want to purchase a batch of equipment and raw materials, which costs 13,000 oceans at a time. I haven’t given them the money yet, so I won’t give it to them until I have more money.”
Xu Dalong shook his head and said: "This is not possible. Most of the independent brigade and our Mawushan County Brigade and basic militia use Type 79 rifles and Czech light machine guns. The production of bullets cannot be stopped for a moment. The arsenal must
To purchase equipment and raw materials and increase production capacity, their requirements must be met. Just give them the money first. As for the funding gap, I am thinking of a way."
Wang Xiaohu said: "If we allocate this amount of money at once and pay military salaries to the troops, the cash in our hands can only last for two months at most. This is really too tight."
Xu Dalong asked: "How many more Japanese weapons have we captured?"
Wang Xiaohu said: "There is no shortage of this. There are still 29 mortars in stock, 65 crooked machine guns, 3,760 Type 38 rifles, and 4 Type 92 heavy machine guns, but there are not many machine gun bullets left."
Xu Dalong said: "Prepare 4 Type 92 heavy machine guns for me. It is useless to keep them if there is no ammunition. Our troops cannot use so many weapons now. Prepare 1,000 Type 38 heavy machine guns and 10 crooked machine guns. I
useful."
Wang Xiaohu agreed and went to the weapons warehouse.
Xu Dalong drafted a telegram, called Lin Xueying, and asked her to send the telegram to the World War II District Chief's Department.
Soon after, Li Kun sent a telegram back to Xu Dalong, telling Xu Dalong to wait for the letter and he would be responsible for finding the buyer, hoping that the price could be cheaper.
Xu Dalong sent a telegram back to Li Kun, saying that these weapons were all new and could be sold at 80% of the market price.
Li Kun always worked neatly and was very resourceful. It didn't take long before he sent a telegram back to Xu Dalong, saying that he had found a buyer and asked Xu Dalong to send someone to deliver the weapons to Machang Town, where someone would hand them over.
The reason why Li Kun found a buyer so quickly is because there are many troops in the Jinsui Army who have no chance to fight the Japanese army, or they cannot take advantage when fighting the Japanese army. In order to have an explanation to their superiors, they also claim credit and reward.
, you need to purchase a batch of Japanese-style equipment, claim that it was captured by your own troops, and then ask your superiors for credit.
Xu Dalong can't control that much. Anyway, these weapons are not sold to the Japanese and puppet troops. Anyone else can buy them if they want. As long as they give a good price, Xu Dalong doesn't mind selling more.
According to the price of 22 oceans per Type 38 rifle, 1,000 type 38 rifles were exchanged for 22,000 oceans. The price of four Type 92 heavy machine guns was relatively high, with each machine gun sold for 180 oceans.
