Check in from the bright sword

Zhang Dabiao said: "Commander, our 4th Battalion is really short of people right now."

"That's what I said." Sun Desheng said angrily, "Where is there no shortage of people now? Lao Tzu's cavalry platoon is still short of people, and there are more than 400 people short, or you can make up for me?"

Zheng Erbao also said: "Da Biao, I still want to continue to be a cavalry soldier."

"Okay." Zhang Dabiao said, "Fortunately, we are in the same regiment, so we can see each other often."

After speaking, he said to Sun Desheng: "Old Sun, you don't object to letting Erbao go to our 4th Battalion for a few days?"

"Of course." Sun Desheng said with a chuckle, "But Lao Zhang, don't be a fool."

"Okay, okay, let's all go back." Li Yunlong began to chase people away, but Wang Yan turned to leave, but Li Yunlong stopped him.

"Consultant Wang, don't rush away." Called Wang Yan, Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang again, "Lao Zhao, give the order."

Zhao Gang took out a telegram from his pocket and read: "Wang Yan, the staff officer of the independent regiment, is hereby appointed as the chief of staff of the independent regiment to fully preside over the work of the staff department."

Speaking of this meal, Zhao Gang went on to say: "Also, your application for joining the party has been approved. Lao Li and I are your introducers. Take some time to swear an oath to the party flag. The three of us are Comrade."

"Old Zhao, what you said is now a comrade." Li Yunlong said, "Comrade Wang Yan, now I solemnly announce that you have officially become a member of the Youth League Party Committee, and you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity in the future."

Speaking of getting stuck, Li Yunlong asked Zhao Gang, "Old Zhao, what did you say later?"

Zhao Gang went on to say angrily: "We must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, strive for greater progress, must do a good job in unity, take into account the overall situation, and strive to win greater victories."

"Yes, these are the few words, Comrade Wang Yan, you" Li Yunlong suddenly cheered, and then continued, "I still think it is more friendly to call Staff Officer Wang."

"How can that be done?" Zhao Gang said, "Comrade Wang Yan is now the Chief of Staff."

Li Yunlong scratched his head and said, "Or should I be called Old Wang?"

"Old Wang?" Zhao Gang nodded and said, "I think it's okay, this title is kind."

"No, head and political commissar, what are you doing?" Wang Yan said anxiously, "I'm only 27 this year, and I haven't even married a wife yet. Why did I become an old king?"

"No, absolutely not."

"All of you call me old."

"How can I marry a wife in the future?"

"Why not, just call him Old Wang." Li Yunlong said.

"Are you so fucking worried that you won't be able to marry a wife? You have Yingzi!"

Zhao Gang also said: "Old Wang, this is also a business. Now that you have been promoted to the rank of deputy regiment, you are already qualified for the marriage standard of the [-]th regiment. You can make a report."

"No, I'm not in a hurry to get married." Wang Yan said hastily.

Li Yunlong said: "Then what do you mean you can't marry a wife?"

"No, you call me Old Wang, what about Old Wang?" Wang Yan said.

"Isn't this easy to handle?" Li Yunlong pouted and said, "From now on, you will be called Laowang. As for the cooking class Laowang, you will be called Laowangtou from now on."

Speaking of this meal, Li Yunlong shouted towards the door again: "Old Wangtou!"

After shouting several times, Lao Wang walked in with his head poking around: "Head, are you calling me?"

"Who else can you call me if you don't call me?" Li Yunlong said angrily, "I will officially inform you that from now on you will be called Lao Wangtou, and the title Lao Wang will belong to the Wang Staff."

"Old Wangtou?" Old Wang glanced at Wang Yan, nodded and said, "All right."

Wang Yan could only droop his head in frustration, it seemed that Lao Wang's title would never be taken off.

In this case, when the dormitory is divided in the future, I will definitely not live next door to Li Yunlong, otherwise, wouldn't I really become the old king next door?This is not acceptable.

Zhao Gang said again: "Then let's hold a meeting. This can be regarded as the first official meeting of our independent group since it transferred to Northwest Shanxi. The topic is how to open up the situation as soon as possible."

Li Yunlong said: "This matter mainly depends on the local comrades."

Zhao Gang said: "Of course the work is mainly done by the local comrades, but our independent group must also provide some help to the local comrades within our ability."

"Of course." Li Yunlong said, "This is also our old tradition. The military and local families are close."

Zhao Gang said: "That's how it is. Half of the supplies will be distributed as subsidies to local comrades. It is not easy for local comrades to persist in their work, so they should be given material compensation."

"No problem, no problem at all." Li Yunlong supported Zhao Gang 100% for all work other than the military, and he didn't feel any pain when he took out more than 300 tons of supplies.

Having said that, more than 300 tons of materials were distributed to the local party committees in more than a dozen counties. The materials distributed to each county were actually very small, which barely solved the living difficulties of some members, so that they could devote themselves to local construction without any worries. In the work, I tried my best to assist the independent group to open up the situation in Northwest Shanxi.

Zhao Gang turned his head and asked Wang Yan, "Old Wang, what's your opinion?"

Wang Yan said: "I also agree that poverty is not, we cannot let our comrades bleed and shed tears, and we should take care of them within the scope of our ability."

Chapter 374 Development of the economy

The effect of killing Qiao Sheng was immediate.

As soon as the news spread, the attitude of Zhaojiayu's folks towards the Independence Group changed drastically.

Zhaojiayu's elders also gave their full support to the independent group's request to rent a house. Old man Zhang, the first householder in the village, gave up the entire north house and rented it to the independent group.

The independent group finally no longer has to sleep in the open.

The regiment headquarters, guard company, communication platoon, artillery platoon and Spike squad are stationed in Zhaojiayu.

Four infantry battalions and cavalry platoons were stationed in five villages around Zhaojiayu.

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and the time has come to late July of 1942.

In the past half month, the independent regiment has basically gained a firm foothold in Northwest Shanxi. At least the local people no longer resist the existence of the Eighth Route Army.

But it is far from opening up the situation.

An obvious fact is that the number of young adults who signed up for the Eighth Route Army is very small.

No matter how much the comrades in the localities preached, they just couldn't arouse their enthusiasm for joining the Eighth Route Army.

So in the past half month, the independent group still has more than 1500 people, and it has not grown at all.

Li Yunlong was not in a hurry, but Zhao Gang was in a hurry, and once again called the members of the party committee of the group to discuss countermeasures.

"Lao Li, Lao Wang, you can't go on like this." Zhao Gang has lost a lot of weight after running for half a month. As long as the work is done well, the enthusiasm of the people in their jurisdiction to join the Eighth Route Army is also good. I heard that the Xinyi Regiment has grown to nearly 1500 people!"

"The new second regiment is not bad either, and has grown from 500 people to more than 800 people."

"As far as our independent group has nothing to do, there are still more than 1500 people."
