Liuzhen, Independent Brigade Headquarters

"Scorpion" sent back Zhao Sihu's reply. Chu Xiong chuckled after reading it, and then handed the message to Gao Wancheng. The matter of the 78th Division was at the brigade headquarters, and the scope of knowledge was limited to the two of them.

It is not appropriate for too many people to know about this matter. Scorpion's side is also a one-way contact, and it is related to the overall situation of the united front, so we must be cautious.

After Gao Wancheng read it, he asked Chu Xiong in disbelief:

"Old Chu, is this matter settled like this? Is there any conspiracy?"

"Lao Gao, I've told you a long time ago that Comrade Zhao Sihu is a smart man. I could have guessed that he would choose the first option, but I still didn't expect that he would be so single. This is throwing the ball to us again.

!”

"Lao Chu, don't mention it. With Comrade Zhao Sihu's skills, we really can't treat him badly. Even if they are worth a thousand gold worth of horse bones, we still have to give them a high enough political status."

Chu Xiong nodded and said:

"Give it, why not give it, he deserves it. His unconditional acceptance of the adaptation has really helped us a lot. With this awareness, he can afford the position of leader of the main force!

As for his future development in the Eighth Route Army, it depends on his own performance in the future. As long as he always stands on the side of the people, even if he is less capable, he will get what he deserves.

Lao Gao, I suggest that the 78th Division be reorganized into the fifth preparatory regiment, with Scorpion as the political commissar, and other positions to be drafted by Comrade Zhao Sihu and reported to the brigade headquarters for filing. They can temporarily be at the battalion level. This is top secret, and the designation of the 78th Division is still open to the outside world;

Scorpion is responsible for developing Comrade Zhao Sihu to join the organization secretly. You and I will be the introducers. 100 military and political elites will be transferred from each regiment to work in the 78th Division, under the unified leadership of Scorpion;

To establish a temporary branch of the Pre-Fifth Youth League, the party committee should not be established for the time being. We still need to pay attention to strategy. Xie Zi serves as the branch secretary and Zhao Sihu serves as the deputy secretary. One or two of their group leaders can be recruited as committee members to start the branch work first!

As soon as the branch work starts, within three months, this unit will completely belong to the organization, and no one can try to pull it away.

We must pay attention to the way we work. In the military area, the key personnel sent there are only responsible for training. Do not interfere too much in the management area, so as not to cause resistance among battalion and company-level officers;

If you want to boil a frog in warm water, first sink to the grassroots level and mingle with the soldiers!

One principle must be grasped. We are all comrades now and cannot be treated differently. Even if there are some conflicts, they can only be internal conflicts among comrades and can only be resolved through criticism and self-criticism;

It is strictly forbidden for anyone to go online or say anything that hurts the feelings of gays!

Political work is your strong point. I will make these few requirements. You must personally check the selection of personnel. Don't let a mouse drop ruin the whole pot of soup.

The reorganization of the 78th Division is related to the success or failure of the entire Zhongtiao Mountain strategy, and we cannot pay too much attention to it;

Scorpion is good at intelligence work, so he was given the position of political commissar just to make it easier for Zhao Sihu and the comrades of the Pre-Fifth Regiment to accept it.

Regarding political work, I suggest that Minister Wang of the Political Department should take charge personally, and that he should serve as the special commissioner of the Brigade Headquarters;

Minister Wang will be responsible for distributing all the equipment, materials, and food allocated by the brigade headquarters to the Fifth Preliminary Regiment. This will increase his voice in the Fifth Preliminary Regiment. What do you think, Lao Gao?"

Gao Wancheng nodded and said:

"I completely agree with your opinion. With Comrade Wang Junjie in charge, there will be no problem at all. Let's do it this way. I will sort out our conversation today as soon as possible and submit it to the confidentiality department for archiving after we double-sign."

Although for the sake of confidentiality, no party committee meeting was held, the conversation between the two people still had to formulate a resolution and file it. This was an organizational procedure, and Chu Xiong would naturally not object.

A week later, 100 cadres led by Wang Junjie and 500 soldiers transferred from the old camp garrison to escort the first batch of equipment and supplies secretly arrived at the 78th Division's station. All personnel were wearing civilian clothes and supplies.

Also disguised.

"Comrade Zhao Sihu, this is Comrade Wang Junjie, the special commissioner of the brigade headquarters. He will stay at the division headquarters from now on."

As soon as Zhao Sihu heard that he was the special commissioner of the brigade, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically and said excitedly:

"Commissioner Wang is welcome to guide the work!"

"Comrade Zhao Sihu, I have an important order from the brigade here to announce that the secrets can only be known to a few regimental commanders. Let's go to the conference room first. The security department will be temporarily taken over by the comrades I brought here. Do you have any objections?"

Zhao Sihu knew that a big dinner was about to be served, so he had to keep it secret. He had already done the work of the group leaders.

"Commissioner Wang, you can make the decision in everything. It's all for the sake of work. Everyone can understand."

Ten minutes later, several important personnel gathered in the conference room, waiting for the brigade commissioner to read out important orders, which were also related to their vital interests.

After seeing everyone present, Wang Junjie began to read out the order of the Independence Brigade Party Committee:

"Comrades, first of all, on behalf of the Party Committee of the Independent Brigade, I welcome you all to join the Independent Brigade of the 81st Division of the Eighth Route Army. From now on, we are a real family."

Everyone nodded excitedly to each other and continued to wait for Commissioner Wang to read out the order.

"Comrades, the 78th Division was secretly reorganized into the fifth independent brigade preparatory regiment. Since the government only gave us the establishment of two regiments, 881 and 882, we established 4 additional reserve regiments. The establishment, personnel, level, and treatment of each regiment are all the same.

It’s the same, it’s the same for the Pre-Fifth Group.”

"Comrade Zhao Sihu is appointed as the leader of the fifth preliminary regiment, Chen Chao is appointed as the political commissar, Wang Junjie is appointed as the special commissioner of the brigade, and four comrades including Zhao Musheng are appointed as the battalion commander. All the above appointments are secretly archived in the independent brigade party committee, and the term of office is calculated from today;

We are at the battalion level for the time being. This time I brought over the equipment and part of the food for an artillery battalion, which is enough for the whole regiment to eat for ten days. The subsequent supplies and ammunition will be delivered within a month.

The 100 military and political backbones and 500 veterans from the brigade headquarters supporting the Fifth Preliminary Regiment are also in place. They will assist me in completing the reorganization of the Preliminary Fifth Regiment. I hope that comrades can actively cooperate;

According to the brigade commander's plan, after the fifth regiment completes its reorganization and training, there will be no problem in single-handedly challenging one or two Japanese regiments!"

"After the order has been read out, if you have any ideas or opinions, please feel free to mention them. Our Eighth Route Army is the most particular about military and political democracy."

Zhao Sihu and others all expressed no objections. Although they were downgraded by one or two levels, everyone could accept that food, ammunition, and a battalion of Wei Yixiao cannons were real.
