After finishing dealing with the arsenal and chemical factory, Xu Rui spent another half day to deal with all the things that had been accumulated since leaving Dameishan. On the second day, he could finally make time for a meeting, and judging from the time, , the leaders of the three main regiments and their respective battalion commanders are almost back.
During this period, the troops of the Dameishan Military Division have been undergoing training. However, if you think that the training means staying in the base area for training, you are wrong, and you are completely wrong. In fact, except for the security regiment and the four directly affiliated battalions, In the base area, the three main regiments were dispersed in company units to implement combat training.
It is precisely because of the continuous operations of the three main forces that the control area of the Dameishan base has more than doubled. The original control area of the Dameishan base only included Meizhen and the Meihe Basin surrounded by Qingfengling and Qingniuling. , now, the power of the Dameishan base has already expanded to Puxian, Guanxian and Shanxian.
Among them, Pu County is located in the southeast corner of Damei Mountain, Shan County is located in the northwest corner of Damei Mountain, and Guan County is located in the northeast corner. Except for the county seat, these three counties are still under the control of the Japanese and puppet troops, and the other towns and villages are all under the control of the Dameishan Army. Even these three counties are under zoning control, and a considerable factor is left deliberately.
Why stay? Because the county seat is left to encircle and provide reinforcements.
In short, while Xu Rui was away from home, his group of arrogant soldiers were not idle at all, and they continued to expand their territory. For this reason, the local militia organization sent troops to Dameishan in the past few days. When the military division was transporting new recruits, five thousand people came from one guy!
Because there are battles to fight, the three main groups are living a good life.
In comparison, the life of the garrison regiment and the four directly-affiliated battalions is inevitably a bit boring.
There were still several hours before the official start of the meeting. Gao Chu came to the conference room of the headquarters early, holding the enamel teacup that Chu Chu bought for him, slowly drinking melon tea. Why do you think he is here like this? morning? Because he was so idle at the regiment headquarters that he almost faded away. He was tired of staring at the political commissar and several battalion commanders every day.
Not long after Gao Chu sat down, the cavalry battalion commander Tiegang also wandered in. I don't know if it was because of long-term horse riding training. The cavalry's legs would be somewhat bowed, but Tiegang's bowed legs were obvious. It is much more serious and even affects normal walking.
"Hey, Lao Tie is here." Gao Chu deliberately looked at Tie Gang's legs with his only remaining eye, and joked, "You have been away from the cavalry camp for an hour or two, right?"
The cavalry battalion is located next to the headquarters, less than a hundred meters away. Gao Chu said this with the intention of being disgusting.
Tiegang's face changed when he heard this, and he retorted: "Lao Niu told me yesterday that the artillerymen of your guard regiment could never learn to measure distance with their thumbs. I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it. What kind of regiment leader can you really do?" What kind of soldiers are there, hey!"
Tie Gang is ironically saying that Gao Chu is a one-eyed dragon, because one-eyed people cannot use the thumb distance measurement method to measure distance.
One-eye is also a taboo for Gao Chu. Hearing this, Gao Chu immediately became furious: "Old man, you won't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, and you won't expose someone's shortcomings when you expose them. What do you mean? Do you want to fight?"
"Just beat me." Tiegang said angrily, "I have long disliked you, but you are now a big deal just because you have a beautiful wife?"
"Hey, hey, I asked you why every time you pass by my house, you always look into the yard when you have nothing to do, and you dare to try to take advantage of our family Chu Chu." Gao Chu really didn't agree now, and stood while stroking his sleeves. Get up.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, the guard battalion commander Qiu Feng and the artillery battalion commander Niu Dazhuang walked in and quickly stopped the two. After a long time of talking, they finally persuaded the two.
Niu Dazhuang pushed Tiegang back to his seat and said with a wry smile: "You two actually have the heart to fight."
"That's right, the two of you are really getting back together more and more." Qiu Feng also said, "Haven't you heard that yesterday, Lao He gathered three main battalions and a machine gun battery to knock down Guanxian County."
Tiegang said in surprise: "What? Lao He captured the county seat of Guan County?"
But Gao Chu said angrily: "Lao He, this is nothing. The last time we met, he swore to me that he would leave the county town to me. Why did he just beat me? Damn it. "
In anger, Gao Chu didn't care that He Guangming was his old commander and scolded his mother directly.
Niu Dazhuang said: "Lao He is really powerful now. After conquering the county town, he followed the leader's example and directly killed the squires in the city. He seized a total of 500,000 yuan and more worth more than 1 million yuan. Not to mention gold, silver, jewelry, food, cotton and other materials, they are piled up like a hill at the gate of the Logistics Department. You haven’t seen it. Minister Xiao’s face is almost bursting with laughter. He always says “Old Man” to everyone he meets. How good."
Qiufeng said: "I am really worried about Lao He now."
"Why are you worried about me?" Tiegang asked puzzledly, "Why?"
Qiu Feng spread his hands and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the veteran will beat him up when he sees this scene."
Tiegang, Niu Dazhuang and Gao Chu were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then burst into laughter.
While the four people were laughing, chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded outside the conference room, and more than a dozen people rushed in. The four Tiegang people turned around and saw the three regiment leaders He Guangming, Wan Zhongshan, and He Shuya filing away. Coming in, behind the three people, there were nine battalion commanders including Yao Lei, Zhu Chen, Yang Banan, Li Hai, Hei Pi, Sun Changhe, Ji Cheng, Ding Li, Lei Peng, etc., and more than a dozen battalion commanders walked together. Dui'er gives people a strong visual impact of strong people and strong horses.
"What are you talking about, laughing so happily?" He Guangming shouted loudly as soon as he came in, "Say it to make us all happy and happy."
Qiu Feng waved his hand: "Commander He, we can't talk about this."
He Guangming turned to Gao Chu: "Lao Gao, tell me."
Gao Chu said with a sad face: "Yingzuo, I really can't talk about this."
He Guangming snorted and said: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it, as if no one wants to hear it."
As soon as He Guangming and other dozen regiment and battalion commanders entered the conference room, the place immediately turned into a vegetable market, and there was a quarrel. The two guards standing guard at the door looked at each other, and then took out two balls of cotton from their pockets in a tacit understanding. Put the ball in your ear, and the whole world suddenly becomes quiet.
These two guards also had experience standing guard.
Not long after that, engineer battalion commander Mei Jiuling and Langya captain Leng Tiefeng also arrived one after another.
Xu Rui was the last one to appear. When the two guards standing at the gate saw Xu Rui's appearance, they immediately shouted at the top of their lungs: "The commander is here..."
Because their ears were blocked, the two guards yelled extra loudly.
The conference room, which had been noisy like a vegetable market just now, immediately became silent. Then, all the participating regimental and battalion-level cadres stood up in unison and turned their gazes to the door of the conference room. Then, Xu Rui's tall figure appeared at the door of the conference room and walked in with his chest held high.
Xu Rui strode to the main seat and sat down. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, sit down. Please sit down."
Only then did Leng Tiefeng, He Guangming and more than a dozen regiment and battalion-level cadres take their seats, and the atmosphere in the conference room became relaxed again.
He Guangming chuckled and asked Xu Rui: "Captain, are you going to do something big this time when you convene everyone for a meeting?"
Hearing He Guangming's words, the eyes of more than a dozen regiment and battalion commanders suddenly became hot, because He Guangming's thoughts were also the inner thoughts of most people. They all thought that Xu Rui had summoned all regiment and battalion commanders this time. When officials come to the headquarters for a meeting, they must be making big moves. This is also Xu Rui's consistent style.
Xu Rui's consistent style is not to let the devils stop, nor to stop himself!
However, the officers attending the meeting were looking forward to the upcoming big move, especially the guard regiment commander Gao Chu, the cavalry battalion commander Tiegang and the guard battalion commander Qiu Feng. They all dreamed of a major event involving the entire military division. Action, then they can go to the battlefield to try their skills, instead of having to stay at home and train all day long.
There are few chief officers, especially those in the army with strong combat effectiveness, who are not looking forward to fighting, because for them, fighting means military exploits, captures, and promotions! It means that the troops can be expanded, which means that they will have more powerful power! Men, who doesn’t want to become stronger
Xu Rui looked at He Guangming with a smile and said, "You have defeated Guangxian County, are you still not satisfied?"
"How many Japanese are there in the county? Only half of the brigade." He Guangming said, "Not enough to stuff my teeth!"
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Then tell me, where do you want to hit? How many little devils do you need to eat to be satisfied?"
He Guangming said: "Commander, if you want me to say it, we might as well attack Feicheng again. I heard that the old devil Okabe Naosaburo has done a good job in restoring Feicheng, and there should be no shortage of oil and water. Or it would be good to attack Yangzhou. If that doesn't work, then Just go to Pukou, I heard that the little devils have stocked up a lot of supplies in Pukou recently."
Xu Rui smiled and said, "You have a pretty good nose."
"That's necessary." He Guangming said with a sly smile, "You don't even want to see whose soldier I am!"
"I like to hear that." Xu Rui chuckled, then straightened his face and said, "But I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint everyone here, because I don't plan to launch a major offensive against the Japanese in the near future. Firstly, the strength is not strong enough, and secondly, now is not a good time, but..."
Just when everyone was about to despair, Xu Rui changed the topic and continued: "But don't be too disappointed. Although there are no big actions, small actions are indispensable. And this time it is not just the three main groups, the guard Regiments, cavalry battalions, guard battalions and even engineering battalions must be dispatched. Except for the militia, no regular army is allowed to stay in the base area! As for the task, it is just one, to turn several counties around the base area upside down!"
After hearing Xu Rui's words, everyone immediately cheered. (To be continued.)
