After arranging military production matters, Chu Xiong decided to go to the 78th Division a year ago to inspect the situation in Zhongtiao Mountain and obtain first-hand information, which would facilitate him to make better decisions in the future;

Without investigation, there is no right to speak. Chu Xiong’s understanding of the Zhongtiao Mountain area only comes from some memories of later generations, and the intelligence is even more limited. This is completely insufficient for launching a grand strategy!

This time Chu Dapeng's Preliminary Fourth Regiment was about to escort a large amount of equipment and supplies to the 78th Division at Langtou Mountain. Chu Xiong took the Siberian Tigers Squadron with him to go with the Preliminary Fourth Regiment to get a real feel for the Nationalist Army's weapons in Zhongtiao Mountain.

end.

The Siberian Tiger Squadron happened to be the pioneer for the Fourth Preliminary Regiment, escorting a large amount of equipment and supplies, as well as more than 100 political cadres supported by Yanzhou, and safety came first.

Since Chu Xiong became the commander of the regiment, he rarely personally led the troops in action, and even more so after he became the brigade commander. Let alone sending special forces to the battlefield, any command at the front of the command post would be opposed by Lao Gao, and he would complain to the boss at every turn.

;

Even the division commander was directly ignored by him. This time he came to the 78th Division and had to talk a lot before convincing him to allow Chu Xiong to go to Zhongtiao Mountain for investigation and research. The premise was that he could only stay within the jurisdiction of the 78th Division.

The road from Liuzhen to Zhongtiao Mountain happens to be in the opposite direction to Chenjialing, which is another exit of Feilongxing;

Since Zhongtiao Mountain, a guerrilla zone adjacent to the national government in the north, is surrounded by mountains that are not suitable for large-scale troops, the Japanese have never sent troops to attack Liuzhen from this direction.

Troops have been stationed since the independence regiment period. Previously, Chu Dapeng led four battalions of the Second Company to garrison, and later it was replaced by one battalion of the garrison regiment. Business travelers from the Central Plains Province entered Liuzhen from here.

From Liuzhen to Wangjiawa, they belong to part of Feilongxing, but not all of it. After leaving Liuzhen, you still go to Feilongxing to the south, which is about ten kilometers away. The terrain here is dangerous, with mountains and mountains. There are only a few villages, each of which is only a few.

Villages with ten or hundreds of people are rare large villages.

After leaving Feilongxing, they entered the Zhongtiao Mountain area. Chu Xiong no longer acted with Chu Dapeng's large army, and began to let himself go, operating with the Siberian Tiger Squadron. Chu Dapeng would not care about him.

Chu Xiong, who was letting himself go, was in a very good mood. Chen Yan led the first team to search and advance in front, and he led Li Guoping's team in the middle;

After the expansion of the Tiger Battalion, Li Guoping was promoted to the squad leader of the second squad due to his merit, which corresponds to a full company rank.

"Guoping, it's almost the Chinese New Year and I'm pulling you out to perform a mission. Erni won't scold me, Brother Chu, behind my back."

Chu Xiong was in a good mood and joked about Li Guoping. He had seen Li Guoping's progress over the past year and had grown into a qualified special operations commander. It is estimated that few people still remember his previous name, Li Er.

You must be stupid.

"Reporting to the brigade commander, Comrade Li Erni is now a squad leader of the Lijia Village Soldier Company. She knows what organizational discipline is and will never scold a leader behind his back."

"Guoping, can you stop being so formal and just like before, talk about home affairs?"

Li Guoping was about to say that this was organizational discipline, but Chu Xiong blocked his words before he could say anything:

"Guoping, our Eighth Route Army has always been united between officers and soldiers, and the army and the people are united. We are not fighting, so we can just chat!

Uncle Qi, when do they plan for you to get married?"

Chu Xiong started to gossip, which made Li Guoping very embarrassed. Uncle Qi and his wife had hinted to them several times, and even said they wanted to find Chu Xiong.

"Brigadier, Erni and I don't comply with our Eighth Route Army's marriage policy. It's still early. We will wait until the Japanese are driven away before we return to Lijiacun to get married."

After being reminded by Li Guoping, Chu Xiong remembered that the Eighth Route Army also had a "258th Regiment" that tightened the spell. Erni was better off, she was a militiaman;

Li Guoping is different. He is in the Eighth Route Army. He is only a squad leader now and belongs to the company level. It is still early for him to reach the regiment level. He, Chu Xiong, can't do anything about policy matters.

"Guoping, our special forces are one level higher than ordinary troops. I will apply to the headquarters specifically for this in the future. If the commander of the special forces wants to get married, he only needs to be the squadron leader!

So if you work hard, there is hope, and do a good job in the ideological work of Uncle Qi and others;

If the Japanese want to fight, then we can get married and start a career!"

When Li Guoping heard this, he immediately became excited. The special operations brigade was small-minded, and the captains were all deputy commanders. If they were to get stuck, the entire special operations brigade would have to be single.

It's fine now. Even if the squadron leader meets the standard, he is still one level behind. There is hope!

Of course, I think so in my heart, but I can't say it out loud. If I'm too impatient, I'll be laughed at by the brigade commander.

"Brigadier, we are not in a hurry, let's fight the Japanese first!"

Li Guoping said sarcastically, but at first glance it seemed that he didn't mean what he said. Chu Xiong pursed his lips and said:

"Hypocrisy, I don't believe you don't think in your heart that we revolutionaries should fight the devils when we should, and we should have a family when we should;

We are fighting the Japanese and throwing our lives and blood just so that our descendants will no longer fight. Revolutionary successors are also needed, as long as they meet the conditions.

Boy, keep up the good work!"

Li Guoping nodded solemnly, the brigade commander's words were just a boost.

Chu Xiong and others arrived at the 78th Division smoothly. Looking at the endless supplies and equipment lined up in a long queue, everyone couldn't help but cheer;

You can have a prosperous new year. In war years, food and equipment are the most important things to boost morale!

Other Central Military officers, let alone the Chinese New Year, cannot guarantee two meals of porridge a day.

Now the 78th Division cooks three meals a day and eats pork stewed vermicelli once every half month. Although there is no pork, at least you can see the oil star seeds. Each person can still get a small piece.

"Old Zhao, long time no see, you still look good!"

Chu Xiong took the lead in greeting Zhao Sihu. This old Zhao warmed his heart. It was more cordial than calling him comrade. The brigade commander regarded him as one of his own.

"Hello, brigade commander! I feel ashamed of my humble position and took a wrong turn——"

"Old Zhao, we are all comrades, so don't be humble. If our Eighth Route Army doesn't get promoted, I will treat it as a slip of the tongue. We fought together in Zezhou City against Chaoxiang Palace. That old Japanese guy is here. You are here for the revolution."

People who have made great contributions!

Now we are eating from the same pot again. We are all comrades. We may have higher or lower positions, but politically we are equal. You should not complain that you are too outsider in the future.

Many of our leaders came from there, including the boss, Mr. He, and Commander Ye, etc. The revolution is in no particular order, as long as they come here, have the same beliefs as us, and devote their whole life to their beliefs.
Chapter completed!
