"Today, our Eighth Route Army has strong troops and horses. It is time to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese in Shanxi!"
"The Eighth Route Army Headquarters decided to attack Taiyuan and completely eliminate the Japanese First Army!"
"After capturing Taiyuan, we will counterattack the entire North China, Northeast China, and even all of China!"
"New victories and missions call ahead!"
"Failure and retreat do not belong to our Eighth Route Army!"
Second Battalion Commander Zheng Yu and Third Battalion Commander Chen Dagu both climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed grasslands for 25,000 miles. They have experienced hundreds of battles and have extremely firm beliefs and willpower.
However, at that time, they were both platoon commanders of the Red Army, and when they were first reorganized, they were only company commanders of the new regiment.
Later, most of the battalion commanders and company commanders of the new regiment were killed in the battle with the Japanese.
Due to their excellent military quality and strong ability to lead troops, Zheng Yu and Chen Dugu were promoted to battalion commanders one after another.
Of course, although Zhang Dabiao joined later, compared with Zhang Dabiao, they are still slightly inferior in all aspects.
Bang bang bang——
The officers and men of the Second Battalion applauded one after another, and everyone looked excited. Some soldiers even shed tears of excitement. They had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Only by driving the Japanese out of China can the people live a good life.
The vast majority of these soldiers who joined the Eighth Route Army were ordinary people.
Even though tears were shed, the eyes and faces of the soldiers were extremely persevering.
Zheng Yu said loudly: "Now, please ask the company commanders of each company of our second battalion to come up and speak!"
Amid a burst of applause, the commander of the first company of the second battalion, with a steel helmet on his head and a Zeiss telescope and an M3 submachine gun hanging on his chest, boarded the bed of the truck.
The first company commander gave a military salute:
"Our First Company of the Second Battalion is the sharp knife company of the Second Battalion and also a special agent company. We must learn from the Seventh Steel Company of the First Battalion, carry forward the spirit of dare to die and fight, kill more Japanese soldiers, and drive the Japanese soldiers out of China as soon as possible!"
Conventional regiment-level troops and company-level establishment numbers are generally 1 to 9 companies.
However, after the new regiment was reorganized, each battalion had 12 companies, so the company numbers of each battalion were independent. For example, the company numbers of the second battalion were the 1st company of the 2nd battalion to the 12th company of the 2nd battalion.
Amidst the applause, the company commander gave a military salute, turned around and jumped out of the truck.
Immediately afterwards, the company commanders of each company of the second battalion came to the stage to speak, expressing their determination and courage to fight the Japanese invaders to the end.
After the pre-war mobilization was completed, each company began to distribute ammunition. Each soldier received 2 base numbers of bullets, grenades, canned meat and canned fruit.
Afterwards, all the soldiers went back to rest and prepared to leave for Taiyuan in the evening.
In front of a house in Taoshugou.
An "Eighth Route Army soldier" who looked a little older and looked like a cooking soldier looked around and found no one nearby, so he opened the door and walked in.
This person is none other than the senior agent Pangolin lurking in the new group.
