After the defense areas of each regiment were divided according to the requirements of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and others led the troops to their respective defense areas.
After everyone left, Zhou Weihan immediately decided to hold an internal meeting and sent a report asking Zhao Gang to go from Wuyi to the West Garden to meet up.
That night, Zhao Gang arrived after a long journey.
In the West Garden, all the cadres of the independent detachment gathered together.
"Old Zhou, this battle was fought very happily and with great momentum, showing the majesty and momentum of our Eighth Route Army!" Zhao Gang couldn't stop talking as soon as they met.
"Old Zhao, those who don't know better think you personally commanded it? Why are you happier than me?"
"Hey, Lao Xing, look at this guy, even if he praises him a few times, he still gets angry. You have a great time on the front line, and I am almost bored to death in the rear!" Zhao Gang saw the opportunity and secretly gave it to Zhou Weihan.
He punched his fist and then hurriedly ran to the other side of the table.
Zhou Weihan clutched his chest, pretending to be in pain, and lowered his eyes, actually looking for an opportunity to retaliate.
The three of them have been getting along very happily since they formed a team, and none of them called them comrades in private.
Xing Zhiguo is a down-to-earth man who works hard and does not complain. Although he has no extraordinary plans, he works steadily and considers everything.
After Xing Zhiguo arrived, Zhou Weihan handed over many tedious matters in the army to Xing Zhiguo and became the boss himself. However, Xing Zhiguo did not complain at all, which is a true portrayal of the revolutionary martyrs of this era.
Zhao Gang was a principled person. In his own words, he was like a rope tied to Zhou Weihan, and he had to tighten it from time to time.
He has strong political skills and is also the manager of the independent detachment. He is responsible for logistics and stays at the rear for a long time.
Zhou Weihan was responsible for military command and firmly controlled the general direction of the army's construction. Sometimes it was inevitable that Qian Gang would be a bit arbitrary, and he would have to rely on the big brother Xing Zhiguo to smooth things over when he had disputes with Zhao Gang.
The three have a clear division of labor, and at the same time they help each other and understand each other. In Li Yunlong's words, this is like pissing into a pot.
With Zhou Weihan and the others as examples, the commanders and political commissars of the regiments below naturally followed suit, and there was no disagreement between the military chief and the political commissar.
Therefore, the independent detachment is tightly united in a group with Zhou Weihan as the core. The effect of uploading and declaring is obvious, and it is easy to implement one thing.
"Old Zhou, the riot by the prisoners of the 97th Army was handled very appropriately!" Zhao Gang mentioned accidentally.
"This is all due to Comrade Luo Benzhong and Lao Xing, who investigated the riot clearly that night. Especially Comrade Luo Benzhong, who has rich experience in struggle and came up with countermeasures in time to avoid further deterioration of the situation!" Zhou Weihan praised from the bottom of his heart!
road.
"You are right, we should also think more about old comrades like Comrade Luo Benzhong and learn more. I have to communicate more with him when I have time!"
The three of them chatted and discussed the content of the meeting.
Not long after, all the cadres involved in the independent detachment had arrived.
When Zhou Weihan saw that all the personnel had arrived, he coughed slightly and said, "The first is the issue of the defense areas of each regiment, and the second is rewards based on merit!"
As soon as Zhou Weihan finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up. This was an issue related to the real interests of each group.
"Let's talk about the defense area first. The main force of Wang Yigong's fourth regiment is stationed in the East and West Gardens. At the same time, a battalion of troops is sent to guard Qijialing!"
"The Second Regiment of Xu Dali is operating in Shexian County and south of the Handan-Changchang Highway; the Third Regiment of Wuqin is operating in the territory of Wu'an and south of the Handan-Changchang Highway and is radiating to Ci County at the same time!"
"Jing Dagang's regiment serves as a mobile force and will temporarily stay in Wuyi with the headquarters!"
"After each of your regiments arrives at the defense area, send small troops to the villages and towns where they are sinking, contact the local county brigade and militia teams, and do a good job in training local armed forces so that they can pull up a defense regiment at any time. At the same time, I want you to always
Keep an eye on every move on the Handan-Changchang Highway!"
After Zhou Weihan finished speaking, Wu Qin immediately said: "Zi Lingyuan, what do you mean, from now on we will have to rely on the Hanchang Highway to eat and drink!"
"That's right, that's what I mean. I'll give you the power to be self-reliant. Whether you eat meat or drink the northwest wind, it all depends on your own abilities!" Zhou Weihan replied with a smile.
After Zhou Weihan finished his statement and confirmed that this was what he meant.
Wang Yigong couldn't sit still: "Our four regiments are surrounded in the middle. The surrounding areas are either national troops or brother troops. What should our four regiments do?"
"Hey, you don't have a bright mind, and you still blame me. I came here, staring with two big eyes, and couldn't see the railway line!" Zhou Weihan scolded with a smile.
Wang Yigong was born in the National Army. Although he had joined the independent detachment for a while, his thinking still hadn't changed. He always regarded the Ping-Han Line as a Japanese blockade and turned a blind eye to its rich oil and wealth.
"The Ping-Han Railway seems to be severely blocked by the Japanese army, but it cannot be without loopholes. I heard from the Division Operations Section that the brother troops in Shandong have made a fortune relying on the Jin-Pu Railway, and have specially formed a railway guerrilla force for this purpose.
Team!" Xing Zhiguo reminded him at the right time.
"I understand, I understand!" Wang Yigong smiled stupidly, and Zhou Weihan didn't know whether he really understood or pretended to understand.
Zhou Weihan planned to conduct a detailed investigation of the Ping-Han Railway when he had free time.
"Now let's talk about rewards for merit. In this battle, Xin Tiebing, commander of the first regiment and the first battalion, served as the assault captain. He fought bravely and took the lead. After research by the headquarters, it was decided to let him concurrently serve as the chief of staff of the first regiment!"
"Jing Dagang, this regiment suffered a lot of casualties this time, and there are also many soldiers and cadres with outstanding military exploits. Make a list. After the headquarters inspection, you will find out who should be promoted! The same goes for your other regiments!"
Everyone nodded. The independent detachment has recently gone through two battles. Many soldiers fought bravely. There were also casualties among grassroots cadres. It was time for promotion.
Zhou Weihan then looked at Xing Zhiguo and said, "The chief of staff will continue to make targeted adjustments!"
"The headquarters has learned about the casualties of your four regiments. Before the war, each of the supplementary battalions left behind by each of your regiments had 350 people. All of them have been reorganized. In view of the situation of the first regiment, the headquarters will select from the local armed forces below.
The 200 capable personnel will be supplemented separately. In this way, the number of your four groups will generally reach 1,500-1,600 people!" Xing Zhiguo said.
"Don't worry about the weapons and equipment captured by a regiment of the 281st Regiment. The headquarters has other plans," Zhou Weihan interjected.
In terms of personnel, after the regiments were replenished, they were actually larger than before the war.
All the weapons and equipment regiments made a lot of money after the war, and Zhou Weihan gave up their thoughts with just one word.
Finally, Zhao Gangyou began to talk about the work he was responsible for: "All the soldiers from each regiment who were injured and disabled were gathered in the West Garden. After the meeting, I took them back to the rear, and the headquarters will deal with them properly."
"Yes" everyone agreed one after another.
Originally, according to Zhou Weihan's wishes, the disabled soldiers of each regiment were assigned to the nearest county brigade and militia team in the defense area to which each regiment belonged.
However, Zhao Gang was worried that the situation would be complicated when the regiments first arrived in the defense area. For the sake of safety, he arranged the soldiers to join the county brigades and militia teams within the base areas of Wuyi and Wu'an.
After the meeting, Zhou Weihan made another suggestion to Zhao Gang.
"Old Zhao, whether the disabled soldiers are in the factories at the rear or in the grassroots troops, although they are still in the establishment of our independent detachment, they are no longer a front-line combat unit after all!"
"I promised to wait until the war was victorious and introduce my wife to the troops. Now I think about it, this matter cannot wait. I am disabled and my life is already inconvenient. I need someone who knows both cold and hot to help me. I don't want it.
We must adhere to the marriage regulations of the 285th Regiment!"
"Well, this is indeed a problem, but as the old saying goes, don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality!" Zhao Gang frowned and did not express his position for a long time.
"Leave this matter to me. I will arrange for people to do the ideological work of the other soldiers. However, you should mention this to your superiors!" Zhao Gang said.
"Haha, that's right. At a small level, the soldiers were injured fighting for the army. At a large level, it was for the country and the people. As long as our independent detachment is here, we have to take care of them!" Zhou Weihan
He smiled and punched Zhao Gang, which was considered as returning Zhao Gang's sneak attack.
