Xu Dalong and others were taken to a courtyard, where they would rest for the next two days.
Xu Dalong washed his face and when he came to the yard to pour the washing water, he saw Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu walking in.
Sun Desheng was not very familiar with Xu Dalong, so he said hello to Xu Dalong and stopped saying anything.
Wang Chengzhu admired Xu Dalong very much and was very happy to see him and greeted him affectionately.
Xu Dalong invited the two of them into the house and sat on the kang.
Sun Desheng asked: "Why did the regiment leader ask me to go to the independent regiment?"
Xu Dalong said: "Not long ago, our regiment defeated the puppet cavalry camp in Wanjia Town. Now the regiment has more than a hundred horses and a full set of cavalry equipment. The regiment is planning to set up a cavalry company and let you be the company commander.
.”
Sun Desheng was a cavalryman. After joining the Eighth Route Army, he changed his career to become an infantryman. He had always felt aggrieved. When he heard the good news, he said excitedly: "The regiment commander understands me. I can finally be a cavalryman again."
Wang Chengzhu was so angry that he was not a chatty person. He asked: "Why should I go to the independent group?"
Xu Dalong said: "Of course I still want to do my old job and become an artilleryman."
Wang Chengzhu said with some hesitation: "I heard that the equipment of the Independent Regiment is not as good as that of our New Regiment. If I go, I can't do much. Otherwise, I will stay in the New Regiment."
Xu Dalong was a little unhappy. He said: "Wang Chengzhu, our Captain Li values you so much, but you don't know how to appreciate him."
Wang Chengzhu respected Xu Dalong. Seeing that Xu Dalong was unhappy, he hurriedly said: "Brother Dalong, I didn't mean that. The independent regiment doesn't have many cannons, let alone the Type 92 infantry cannon. What can I do?"
In fact, Wang Chengzhu's main reason is that he likes the Type 92 Infantry Cannon. He plays with the Type 92 Infantry Cannon every day. Now he has feelings and is reluctant to leave.
Xu Dalong was so angry that he said: "You are a bit stupid. Isn't it just the Type 92 infantry gun? When you get to the independent regiment, I can get you a few more in the future."
Wang Chengzhu remembered that the Type 92 infantry gun in the new regiment was bought by Xu Dalong. He also laughed and said, "Okay, I will go to the independent regiment with you."
In the next two days, Ding Wei organized the entire regiment of officers and soldiers, and Xu Dalong taught them individual infantry tactics, squad and platoon offensive tactics, and field fortification construction, etc., and also led a special service platoon to perform demonstrations.
The smooth tactical performance of the special service team won warm applause from the officers and soldiers of the new regiment.
Looking at the high-spirited Xu Dalong on the training ground, Ding Wei couldn't help but envy Li Yunlong. He regretted that when he came to the new group, he didn't understand the situation in the group, and ended up letting go of a treasure like Xu Dalong. Now it's too late to regret.
This morning, Xu Dalong and others said goodbye and left.
Ding Wei personally went to the entrance of the village to see them off. Before leaving, he asked the guard to hand over two bottles of Fenjiu.
Said: "Brother Dalong, bring this to your commander Li, go back and tell him what actions will be taken in the future. Our two regiments will cooperate with each other and send more people to move around each other. When you are free, you should come and sit more often.
.”
"Thank you, Commander Ding." Xu Dalong gave a military salute to Ding Wei and left with the special service platoon.
On the way back to the independent regiment, Xu Dalong asked Sun Desheng to help the soldiers of the special service platoon learn riding skills.
Sun Desheng is worthy of being an experienced cavalryman. Not only is his personal riding skills superb, he is also good at teaching.
The officers and soldiers of the special service platoon quickly improved their riding skills.
Yangcun, Independent Regiment Headquarters.
"Reporting to the leader, Sun Desheng, deputy commander of the Sixth Company of the Second Battalion of the New Regiment, and Wang Chengzhu, commander of the artillery platoon of the New Regiment, are reporting to you."
Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu said excitedly when they saw the old regiment leader.
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Kong Jie were all very happy. Li Yunlong briefly asked about the situation of Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu, and said to Xu Dalong: "Ding Wei won't let them go so happily, right? What benefits did you give him?"
Xu Dalong said lightly: "It's nothing. When we arrived at the New Regiment, we happened to catch up with the New Regiment to fight, so we helped out a little. Commander Ding was very generous. He heard that you wanted someone, so he came without saying a word.
I have released you, and I have also brought you two bottles of wine, telling you to move around more in the future, and if there are any combat operations, the two regiments will cooperate more."
Li Yunlong took the two bottles of wine and put them on the table. He said with some disbelief: "It's that simple? When did Ding Wei become so easy to talk to?"
Li Yunlong knew Sun Desheng well and knew that this guy couldn't lie. He said, "Sun Desheng, tell me what's going on?"
Sun Desheng recounted what he heard in the New Regiment about the battle at Zhaozhuang.
Kong Jie also knew Ding Wei and said: "No wonder. Our special service platoon helped Lao Ding and his friends kill the puppet troops for more than 300 days and seized so many weapons and ammunition. He, Ding Wei, is really not a master who will suffer losses."
Li Yunlong was very happy and said with a smile: "Well done to Dalong! You have given face to the leader of our independent regiment. Zhaozhuang fought well in this battle. Otherwise, if Ding Wei gave it to others, he would use this matter to accuse us of being independent in the future."
The regiment owed him a favor. This time he didn't suffer any loss, seeing that we, Lao Li, didn't make irresponsible remarks."
Zhao Gang was also very happy. He said, "About Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu's work arrangements, should we tell them now?"
Li Yunlong said: "Just follow what we discussed, you can say it."
Zhao Gang said: "After the decision of the Party Committee of the Independent Regiment, Sun Desheng was appointed as the commander of the cavalry company of the independent regiment, and Wang Chengzhu was appointed as the commander of the artillery company of the independent regiment."
Sun Desheng was not surprised that he became the commander of the cavalry company, because he was very confident. Not to mention the independent regiment, there were very few cavalry talents in the entire division. He must be the best candidate for the commander of the cavalry company. He said very calmly
Thank you.
Wang Chengzhu was different. He originally served as the artillery platoon leader in the New Regiment. He originally thought that he would continue to serve as the artillery platoon leader in the Independent Regiment, because in the Eighth Route Army, a regiment could only have one artillery platoon at most. Unexpectedly,
He actually became the commander of the artillery company. Of course he was very excited to be promoted to two ranks, and he thanked him profusely.
Regarding the establishment of an artillery company in the independent regiment, Li Yunlong made a temporary decision. When he agreed to give the equipment of the two cavalry companies captured from Wanjia Town to the brigade commander, he felt that it was a bit of a disadvantage, so he added the requirement to establish an artillery company.
condition.
The brigade commander was in high spirits at the time and agreed without saying a word. Of course he hoped that his troops would be stronger. If Li Yunlong had the ability to capture the artillery of an artillery company, he asked him to set up an artillery company.
Xu Dalong discovered that Li Yunlong was really a master who knew how to take advantage, and decided to make his request while the three regiment leaders were happy.
He said: "The regiment leader, political commissar, deputy regiment commander, and special service platoon currently only have 24 people and are not fully staffed yet. Can we be allowed to recruit troops on our own? Please rest assured, regiment leader, we will handle all the weapons and equipment ourselves."
The 20 soldiers recruited from the special service platoon are the backbone of each battalion and company. If he asks for people from each battalion and company, they will definitely not be happy. So he plans to recruit some people with special talents from the private sector to enrich the special service platoon.
strength.
Li Yunlong said: "No problem. If you see capable people, recruit more."
Hearing this, Xu Dalong's heart moved and he hurriedly said: "Captain, are you saying that we can exceed the establishment and recruit more capable people?"
Li Yunlong said: "No problem, the more, the better."
Zhao Gang felt that something was wrong. After all, there were regulations on the establishment of the Eighth Route Army. But seeing Li Yunlong agreeing so readily, he hesitated, wondering whether he should put forward different opinions.
Kong Jie was a careful person, and he sensed Zhao Gang's thoughts and said: "Political Commissar, I agree with Lao Li. In our Eighth Route Army's fight against the Japanese, the more troops the better. Look at our brigade, the formal establishment is two regiments.
Now there is a new regiment, a new regiment, an independent regiment, and a supplementary regiment, and the head of the headquarters has not interfered."
Zhao Gang thought about it. In fact, he also wanted the independent regiment to develop and grow, but he had just come down from the agency and still had to adapt to the field force.
Seeing that Li Yunlong and Kong Jie had the same opinion, he said: "I don't have any opinion either."
This is Xu Dalong's biggest gain. He is very happy. With the consent of the three leaders, he can start working freely from now on.
Unexpectedly, there was another good thing waiting for him.
