Chapter 45: I am a member of the Independent Regiment
Xu Dalong and Zheng Xirong found two people wandering on the street outside Wang Xinmin's alley. The two people were dressed completely differently. One was wearing a suit and tie. The other was dressed as a day laborer. They were obviously not from the same class.
On the surface, they didn't seem to know each other, but Xu Dalong felt that there seemed to be some kind of connection between the two of them.
Xu Dalong thought that it was abnormal that these two people had time to hang out here so early when most people were busy with their own livelihood.
At this time, Wang Xinmin came out.
Xu Dalong's eyes did not focus on him, but continued to stare at the two people.
Sure enough, the two men nodded to each other across a long distance, and then followed Wang Xinmin one after another.
Xu Dalong did not follow him. He and Zheng Xirong found a place to have breakfast, and then returned to the inn.
Zheng Xirong asked: "Platoon leader, Doctor Wang is being followed, what should we do?"
Xu Dalong said: "Someone is following Wang Xinmin. It is certain that the news about Miss Su's escape from Taiyuan reached here.
Judging from Wang Xinmin's appearance, it seemed that he did not know about this matter, which also meant that those who were monitoring him were hiding it from him.
Wang Xinmin is just an ordinary surgeon, but those people are staring at him. Don’t you think these things are a bit strange?"
Zheng Xirong said: "If that's the case, it means that Miss Su and Doctor Wang's Japanese teacher have some secrets. Those people are staring at Doctor Wang, I'm afraid they are worried that their secrets will be leaked."
Xu Dalong praised: "Yes, your analysis makes sense. Wang Xinmin should be unaware of these things. In order not to alert others, my opinion is to let this matter go for now. The Japanese monitored Wang Xinmin and saw that there was no movement.
It won't be long before they get tired.
Let’s return to the Independent Group today and come back after a while.”
Zheng Xirong asked: "Will Doctor Wang be in danger?"
Xu Dalong said: "Probably not, at least not yet. The Japanese don't know where Miss Su is going, and they don't know how much of their secrets Miss Su knows. They will definitely continue to stare at Wang Xinmin to see if anyone contacts him.
I also want to find Miss Su through him.
Therefore, the Japanese will not attack him for the time being."
After making up their minds, Xu Dalong and Zheng Xirong checked out of the room, then went to the street to buy some daily necessities such as cigarettes, and especially bought some things commonly used by women for Miss Su.
Xu Dalong and Zheng Xirong returned to Yangcun. He is now a celebrity in the independent group, and everyone knows him.
The soldiers on guard saw them coming back and greeted them warmly.
Xu Dalong took out a few pieces of fruit candies from his pocket and handed them to the two soldiers standing guard. The two soldiers smiled happily and thanked them repeatedly.
After Xu Dalong and Zheng Xirong left, a young soldier said enviously: "The life in the special service platoon is so good. I really want to go, but it's a pity that I don't have the ability."
Another young soldier said: "I heard that the special service platoon may be expanded into a special service company, and they should be recruiting people. When we train, we have to work harder and try to be selected into the special service company."
After Xu Dalong and Zheng Xirong entered the village, they met a soldier from the police platoon.
He said: "Platoon Leader Xu, the regiment leader said that if he sees you, he will ask you to go to the regiment headquarters."
Xu Dalong and Zheng Xirong arrived at the gate of the regiment headquarters yard. He handed the horse to Zheng Xirong and asked him to go back first. He entered the regiment headquarters yard to find Li Yunlong.
Zhang Dabiao has now become chief of staff and moved to the regiment headquarters.
When he saw Xu Dalong coming back, he came forward to greet him and said happily: "Brother Dalong, you are back. You did a great job in the battle against Pingtian Brigade. The leader is waiting for you. Come with me."
In Li Yunlong's room, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were discussing things. They were very happy to see Xu Dalong come in.
After Xu Dalong saluted the two regiment leaders, he took out the gift he had brought.
Li Yunlong was given two bottles of Fenshui Daqu, and Zhao Gang was given a Parker gold pen bought from Taiyuan. He didn't bring a gift to Zhang Dabiao originally, so he gave him half of the Laodao brand cigarettes he bought for Sun Desheng.
The three chiefs were very happy.
Li Yunlong asked: "Brother Dalong, why did you bring back a girl from Taiyuan this time?"
Xu Dalong said: "I am just about to report this matter to the three chiefs."
Xu Dalong told the whole story of his trip to Taiyuan.
Li Yunlong pondered for a moment and said: "It seems that the Japanese really have a conspiracy. You will be responsible for this matter and find an opportunity to investigate it carefully.
The Wang Xinmin you mentioned and this Su Xiaoyan are both surgeons, exactly what our independent regiment needs. You find a way to mobilize them to stay in the independent regiment."
Zhao Gang said: "According to the regulations of the headquarters, troops below the regiment level cannot have female soldiers. This matter is more troublesome."
Zhang Dabiao also said: "Yes, commander, if there are female soldiers in this regiment, it will be difficult to lead the team, and it will be a burden in the war. It is better to send her to the brigade headquarters."
Li Yunlong said: "What you said makes sense. I think this is the case, so I will send this bitch to the brigade headquarters. When Wang Xinmin comes, I will keep him in our independent regiment."
Xu Dalong couldn't laugh or cry. He hadn't even decided whether Wang Xinmin and Su Xiaoyan were willing to stay in the independent group. The three bosses had already begun to make allocations.
Xu Dalong said: "I have to seek other people's opinions on this matter. Let me give it a try."
Zhao Gang said: "Xu Dalong, your special service platoon has very strong combat effectiveness and excellent performance. After the regiment leader proposed, the regiment party committee studied and reported to the brigade headquarters for approval, and decided to expand your special service platoon into a special service company with four platoons and your personnel."
Solve it yourself."
Xu Dalong was very happy and said: "Thank you to the three regiment leaders. Please rest assured that all personnel, equipment, and funds will be taken care of by ourselves."
Li Yunlong said: "Dalong, don't be too busy thanking me. Let me ask you, if the head of the headquarters or the brigade commander likes you and wants to transfer you to a higher-level agency, what are you going to do?"
This is a very serious question. Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao both stared at Xu Dalong to see how he would answer.
Xu Dalong said: "Three commanders, I like to lead troops to fight. I don't want to go to the headquarters or brigade to be a staff officer. Besides, I was just a cook originally. I relied on the cultivation of the regiment leaders to achieve my current progress.
.I am willing to stay in the Independent Regiment, accept the command of the three leaders, and contribute to the development and growth of our Independent Regiment."
"That's great!" Li Yunlong said happily.
Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao are also very happy. Xu Dalong is now the treasure of the independent regiment. With him, there is no need to worry about weapons, ammunition, medicines, and funds. What's more, he also has a powerful special force in his hands. This is
The independent group has strong strength.
Li Yunlong said: "Okay, you go back and have a rest first. Let the cooking team cook some dishes in the evening. Let's have some wine and have a good chat."
Xu Dalong returned to the special service platoon. The soldiers were listening to Zheng Xirong talking about his time watching movies and visiting nightclubs. They were all envious.
Seeing Xu Dalong come in, everyone gathered around and said hello to him.
Xu Dalong took out a pack of fruit candies and handed them to Wang Xiaohu, asking him to share them with everyone.
The soldiers were very happy, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Xu Dalong took advantage of everyone's happiness and announced: "The regiment leader just said that our special service platoon will soon be expanded into a special service company, with four platoons, and we will appoint all the backbones of the company ourselves."
"Wow, wow, wow." The soldiers applauded excitedly.
No wonder everyone is so happy. As the army expands, there are more key positions. Quite a few of the dozens of soldiers in the original special service platoon have the opportunity to be promoted, and everyone begins to think about what new positions they can take.
Xu Dalong chatted with the soldiers for a while, and then went to see Su Xiaoyan accompanied by Zheng Xirong.
Su Xiaoyan is very beautiful. When she came to the independent group, the bachelors were all impressed.
For safety reasons, Su Xiaoyan was placed in the special service platoon, a house was found for her, and there were people standing guard at the door.
Su Xiaoyan had always been concerned about Wang Xinmin's safety. When she saw Xu Dalong coming, she hurriedly asked: "Where is Xinmin?"
Xu Dalong said: "Miss Su, he is safe now, but there are people watching him now. If we go to pick him up now, it will easily put him in danger.
I plan to bring him back after a while, when the people monitoring him relax their vigilance.
Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."
Su Xiaoyan was rescued from the chemical plant by Xu Dalong and others, and she trusted them very much. After hearing what Xu Dalong said, she felt much better and said, "Thank you then."
Zheng Xirong put the purchased daily necessities for women on the table and said: "Our platoon leader bought these for you. The conditions here are poor and cannot be compared to Taiyuan City, so you should make do with them first."
Xu Dalong did have the idea of keeping both Wang Xinmin and Su Xiaoyan in the independent group, but he knew that it would be useless to say anything until Wang Xinmin was rescued.
So he didn't mention this matter, but asked Su Xiaoyan if she had any other needs in life, and then left.
Xu Dalong returned to his room and saw a strange little soldier standing in front of the door.
When he saw Xu Dalong coming, he quickly stood at attention, saluted, and said, "Hello, Platoon Commander Xu."
Xu Dalong asked kindly: "Which battalion are you from? Do you have anything to do with me?"
The little soldier said: "Report to the platoon leader, my squad leader is looking for you."
Xu Dalong asked: "Who is your squad leader?"
The little soldier said: "Platoon leader, my squad leader is waiting outside. I want to ask you to go out, as long as you go alone."
Xu Dalong found it very interesting and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go now."
The little soldier led Xu Dalong to the east of the village. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a tall and thin soldier standing not far ahead.
When Xu Dalong saw him, he couldn't help but smile. His name was Wang Gensheng, and he was a squad leader of the Second Battalion. Before Xu Dalong came to the Independent Regiment, he was recognized as the top bomb-dropper in the Independent Regiment.
Wang Gensheng was born as a shepherd. When he was herding sheep, he used to throw stones to manage the sheep. Eight years of experience in herding made him good at throwing stones. He could hit wherever he pointed. After joining the army, he changed to practicing hand grenades. Yes, it's still superb.
When the special service platoon was first established, Xu Dalong went to the second battalion to recruit people. Wang Gensheng was very well-respected in the second battalion at the time and was still a squad leader. When he was selected to the special service platoon and could only be a soldier, he rejected Xu Dalong.
The later special service platoon was so impressive that Wang Gensheng always regretted his original decision, but he was too embarrassed to come to Xu Dalong. This time he heard that the special service platoon was going to be expanded, and he couldn't help it anymore, so he found the second battalion commander. Chen Quan, please tell Xu Dalong that he wants to join the special service company.
Shen Quan was very supportive, but asked him to come to Xu Dalong himself, saying that Xu Dalong was a generous man and he would not care about the little things at the beginning.
Wang Gensheng finally made up his mind, but he was still a little embarrassed, fearing that he would be rejected in public if he went to the special service platoon, so he asked the young soldiers in his class to invite Xu Dalong out.
Seeing Xu Dalong approaching, Wang Gensheng hurriedly stepped forward, stood at attention, saluted, and said, "Hello, Platoon Commander Xu." After saying this, his face turned red and he lowered his head a little shyly.
Xu Dalong guessed his purpose and said happily: "Brother Gensheng, I was just going to find you. The special service platoon is about to expand and needs a backbone like you. What do you think? Are you interested?"
Seeing Xu Dalong's attitude, Wang Gensheng's anxiety disappeared and he immediately said: "I am willing, even if I become a soldier under you, I am also willing."
Xu Dalong said: "Good brother, when we arrive at the special service platoon in a while, you can show your skills to the brothers first."
Wang Gensheng understood that when he refused to join the special service platoon, he was afraid that the soldiers in the special service platoon would have objections to him. Xu Dalong asked him to perform his bomb-dropping stunt in front of the special service platoon, just to give him a step down so that the soldiers could accept him. .
Seeing Xu Dalong thinking so thoughtfully about him, he said happily: "Thank you, platoon leader."
Xu Dalong took Wang Gensheng back to the yard of the special service platoon, called all the soldiers who were active in the yard, and said: "Brothers, Brother Gensheng is the bomb-throwing master of our independent regiment. Now, let him perform for us His bomb-throwing skills."
In the corner of the special service platoon's yard, there is a tall locust tree with an old stork's nest on it.
Wang Gensheng took a grenade, held it in front of his eyes, took aim, and then threw it up.
The grenade fell right into the old bird's nest.
"Wow, wow, wow." Xu Dalong took the lead in applauding, and the soldiers also responded with warm applause.
Xu Dalong said: "Brother Gensheng will be members of our special service platoon from now on. From now on, we are all good brothers and we must care and love each other."
Wang Gensheng was very happy. He quickly stood at attention and saluted the soldiers with a circle salute and said: "I am new here. Please take care of me, brothers."
Everyone admired Wang Gensheng for showing such skill, and seeing his sincere attitude, everyone's opinions about him disappeared.
Monk Wei liked him very much and said, "Let Brother Gensheng stay with me first."
Xu Dalong agreed, and Monk Wei and his soldiers enthusiastically took Wang Gensheng to their class.
Soon after, the Independent Regiment held a general meeting, at which the order to establish the special service company was announced.
The special service company is organized into three combat platoons, a fire support platoon, a police communication squad, and a logistics and logistics squad.
Special service company commander Xu Dalong and deputy company commander are temporarily vacant. First platoon leader Zhang Xirong, second platoon leader Wei Heshang, third platoon leader Wang Xiaohu, and fire support platoon leader are temporarily vacant.
The company currently has 56 men and all Japanese weapons and equipment. There are two mortars, four crooked light machine guns, two grenades, fifty Type 38 rifles, and 19 horses.
According to Xu Dalong's plan, the special service company must be equipped with at least two Type 92 infantry guns, six mortars, two Type 92 heavy machine guns, and one crooked machine gun for each squad, at least 12, with a manpower of 38
A rifle, a shell gun, and everyone has a horse. There must also be a large number of horses for carrying supplies, and a large amount of funds.
Nowadays, these equipment and supplies are still far behind, so Xu Dalong went to Li Yunlong to ask for a fight.
