"Zhou Weihan, we have organized a group of people to come to visit and study. What is your plan?" asked the chief.
Zhou Weihan was delighted. He had already prepared. Except for the Wuqin Third Regiment, which was far away in southern Hebei, the rest of the independent detachment had temporarily returned to Yamawang Mountain.
Previously, all the ministries had responded upwardly. After successive battles, the soldiers were generally in a low combat mood. Although they had gone through nearly ten days of rest, their morale had improved slightly.
But Zhou Weihan still decided that since the head of the headquarters was here, he would let the soldiers show their faces in front of the head. On the one hand, he would boost the morale of the soldiers, and at the same time, he would also show the comrades of the fraternal units the independent detachment, the Iron and Steel Army of the Eighth Route Army.
Therefore, as soon as he received the news that the head of the headquarters was coming, Zhou Weihan ordered all ministries to train their teams.
"After lunch, and after the weather cools down a bit, I will first let you visit the farm in the back mountain and the good things developed by my independent detachment's repair department. In the evening, I will explain to the comrades the experience of fighting in the city!"
"Tomorrow morning, each department of our independent detachment will organize a military parade. At that time, all the leaders will be invited to come on stage to review!" Zhou Weihan explained the itinerary of the two days.
"Hehe, we can't finish it all in one afternoon, Lao Peng. It seems we can't go back today. That's fine, then let's just do as we please and let's enjoy Zhou Weihan's place as much as possible!" the chief of staff joked.
"The Fourth Regiment that attacked Changzhi Airport is here too?" the chief asked with concern.
"Yes! Except for the absence of the third regiment, I asked the other regiments to be temporarily stationed at the foot of the mountain!" Zhou Weihan was very curious as to why the chief cared so much about Wang Yigong's fourth regiment.
"This Fourth Regiment fought well and should be set as a model for all units of our Eighth Route Army. The Fourth Regiment is a strong proof that our Eighth Route Army practices the anti-Japanese national united front. The Fourth Regiment is a special existence with special political significance and should be given special
Commendation!" The leader mentioned three special items in a row, indicating that he attached great importance to the Fourth Regiment.
"The headquarters has reported it to Yanzhou before, and ** and others have also agreed to this matter, and will award the fourth regiment the title of Tainan Heroes. This time, there are also comrades from Xinhua Daily who will come together with you. They will be in your independent detachment
I will stay for a few days to do in-depth reporting, and you must cooperate with the work then!" the chief instructed.
"Tainan Heroes? Is this title too heavy?" Zhou Weihan's first thought was to refuse.
You must know that titles like the Hero Group had not appeared before. There were very few during the Anti-Japanese War, and most of them appeared during the War of Liberation and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.
The first heroic regiment appeared at the end of 1941 during the Huangyadong Defense Battle. In order to cover the transfer of personnel and equipment in the arsenal, the Headquarters Special Agent Regiment, with a strength of 1,500 troops, severely damaged more than 5,000 Japanese troops with minimal casualties.
The Japanese army attacked for eight days and finally entered an empty city. They also paid a heavy price with more than 700 killed and hundreds injured.
However, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters Special Agent Regiment had only over 140 casualties, and the exchange ratio between ourselves and the enemy reached an astonishing 8 to 1, creating a miracle of counter-mopping up behind enemy lines.
In December 1941, the Military Commission awarded the Special Agent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters the honorary title of "Huangyadong Defense Hero Regiment".
The battle at Huangyadong became famous all over the world.
You must know that the predecessor of the Special Agent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters was the Special Agent Battalion of the Fourth Red Army established in 1929, which was dedicated to protecting the safety of the commander.
Later, the personnel were expanded and split several times, and the Secret Service Regiment Headquarters and the 4th, 5th, 7th, and 9th Companies were transferred to the command of Commander Nie, and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Anti-Japanese Base Area was established. Today's Secret Service Regiment still has a large number of veterans from the Red Army era.
"Is there anything inappropriate? I think it is very appropriate. This is what those sacrificed soldiers paid for with their lives, and it should be widely publicized to the outside world to show the outside world how our Eighth Route Army troops became a steel army.
Yes!" Deng** said.
Zhou Weihan nodded after hearing this, then stood up and solemnly saluted with a military salute.
This military salute is Zhou Weihan's gratitude to his superiors for their recognition and recognition on behalf of the sacrificed soldiers of the Fourth Regiment and the surviving soldiers.
The next itinerary was just decided.
Not long after, the lunch prepared by the cooking class was ready.
Because there were so many people, the soldiers rarely used plates to eat, so this time each person was given a sea bowl.
Several prepared dishes are put in buckets. The staple food is steamed buns and rice. You can eat whatever you want.
The chief and others were not in a hurry and asked other comrades to prepare their meals first.
After the crowd dispersed, the chief came closer and said, "Oh, I haven't eaten so well during the Chinese New Year. Isn't this a bit extravagant?"
The leader was an ascetic monk who always lived a frugal life. During difficult times, he took the lead in reducing food rations and leaving food for the wounded.
The chief of staff also came forward: "There is a lot of oil and water. To be honest, my mouth is watering just looking at this big fat guy!"
"Lao Peng, you are usually frugal, but now that Zhou Weihan is here, this is specially prepared by him!" the chief of staff advised: "I am not happy to hear what you say. Little comrade, give me this.
Get one!"
The chief of staff's words were still very effective. The chief patted his head and said: "Oh, I'm used to being poor. I can't get enough of it. I'm not used to it yet. Eat!"
Then several people occupied a table.
At the dinner table, the chief of staff asked: "Zhou Weihan, is this pork raised on a farm? Is it a native pig or a foreign pig? To what extent have foreign pigs been bred now?"
"This is a native pig raised on the farm. The foreign and white pigs all keep their litters. They are used as breeding pigs. The foreign and white pigs have given birth to piglets twice. There must be hundreds of them. The first batch of piglets have grown up!
"
"If that's the case, then I have to open my mouth to you. Give me a few of the foreign white pigs and bring them back to the headquarters for the logistics comrades to raise!"
Ever since Zhou Weihan reported the situation on the farm to the Chief of Staff a few months ago, the Chief of Staff has been thinking about the foreign white pigs, but the number was too small at that time.
Chicken farms are developing in full swing in various base areas of the Eighth Route Army. Soldiers can eat an egg every now and then, stew a chicken and eat meat from time to time.
As soon as he finished speaking, the brigade commander was so smart. He saw the advantages of the foreign pig from just a few words and said directly: "Zhou Weihan, I listen to you. This foreign pig breeds very quickly and grows very fast. You can give it to me."
I will also prepare a few, and our Taiyue Military Region will also have a special breeding farm by then!"
"Hey, this good thing cannot be without our Jinan Military Region!" Commander Chen answered.
"You all have the nerve to open your mouth. It's easy for Zhou Weihan to get such a small fortune!" Deng ** first pretended to criticize, and then said: "They all want it. If the division headquarters doesn't want it, it would be too unsocial. I have to follow
Follow in the footsteps of our comrades!"
Deng **’s joke made everyone laugh.
Zhou Weihan said with a wry smile: "This is just used as seeds. We will expand the scale little by little, and strive to raise a few in each military division next year. We will achieve large-scale breeding the year after that. Now we won't have to worry about eating meat!"
