Commander Meng glared at Chang De, so frightened that Chang De shrank his neck, quickly straightened up, closed his mouth and didn't dare to speak again.Commander Meng smiled slightly, then took the document in his hand and read it aloud: "Letter of Appointment: Comrade Chang De, the former political commissar of the Anguo Independent Regiment, is hereby appointed as the political commissar of the Seventh Independent Brigade.This is the headquarters of the Jizhong Military Region of the 18th Group Army. ”"Huh" Changde couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, took a step forward, stretched out his hand to take the letter of appointment from Commander Meng's hand, and said with a dissatisfied face: "Commander, you scared me to death, I thought there was really something." ”"Don't worry," Commander Meng smiled, and then said loudly with a serious face: "Letter of Appointment, Comrade Li Guotao, the former head of the Anguo Independent Regiment, is hereby appointed as the commander of the Seventh Independent Brigade, the headquarters of the Jizhong Military Region of the 18th Group Army." ”"Yes" Li Guotao replied with a serious face, and stepped forward to take the letter of appointment from Commander Meng.Later, Commander Meng read out Ma Zhenguo's letter of appointment, and there was no doubt that Ma Zhenguo was appointed as the commander of the Seventh Independent Brigade.At this time, Commander Meng still had the last piece of paper left in his hand, and Commander Meng smiled and said, "Do you want to know what is written on this?"
Li Guotao, Chang De and the others couldn't help frowning, they didn't expect that the commander was in such a good mood today, and he actually sold the guanzi with them again.Chang De's quick temper was the first to hold back, and he said: "Of course I want to know, Commander, don't sell Guanzi, hurry up" "Hmm" Commander Meng deliberately cleared his throat and said loudly with a serious face: "Order: After a solid and tenacious battle, our army finally succeeded in smashing the Japanese army's winter sweep of our Jizhong base area, and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army in North China.After study by the party committee and the military region headquarters, it was held that our army should seize this favorable opportunity to take the initiative to attack and further expand the scope of our base areas, so the Seventh Independent Brigade was specially ordered to form an advance force and go north to the Pingnan area to open up new base areas.This order, the 18th Group Army Jizhong Military Region Command. ”"It's a guarantee to get the job done."
Li Guotao took the order from Commander Meng with a serious face.Chang De frowned and said: "Commander, our independent regiment has just been replenished with a large number of recruits, these recruits have just enlisted in the army, and they have not yet formed combat effectiveness, and now the troops are going to expand again, and they have to go north to open up new base areas, this" Commander Meng nodded and said: "I know all your situation, so I just said, this may not be a good thing for you, but this is an order from the military region command, even if there are many difficulties, you must carry it out, and you must give me a beautiful completion of this task." ”"Rest assured, commander, we promise to complete the mission."
Li Guotao replied loudly with a serious face.Commander Meng nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't stand, let's sit down and talk" Li Guotao and others sat down one after another, and Commander Meng also sat down, sighed slightly and said: "I know you have your difficulties, but this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only the military region headquarters, but even the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army attach great importance to this matter, and require us to expand the base area to the Pingnan area as soon as possible." ”Commander Meng paused when he said this, beckoned, and the guard next to him immediately came up with a map and spread it on the table, Commander Meng pointed to the map and said: "You see, the Pingnan region I am talking about refers to the southern area of Beiping, but our Jizhong Military Region is only responsible for the area east of the Pinghan Railway.Therefore, the new base area that you are responsible for developing this time is this area, the eastern area of Zhuozhou and Xincheng County, plus the three counties of Gu'an, Yongqing, and Bazhou. ”Li Guotao looked at the map, looked up at Commander Meng and asked, "What is the situation in this area?"
Commander Meng replied: "Since this area is relatively close to the two big cities of Beiping and Tianjin, the Japanese puppet army has deployed relatively more troops in this area.Although after the establishment of the Hebei Central Military Region, it continued to develop in the Pingnan region, but the results were limited.At present, in this area, there are only five of our armed engineering teams, and some guerrilla units, but the scale is not too large, and our largest armed force in this area, that is, the county brigade in Bazhou, but this county brigade is only more than 200 people.On the militia side, only about a few dozen villages have established militia organizations, and the militia coverage rate is less than 10 percent.That's why we need you to advance into the Pingnan area, develop and strengthen the anti-Japanese armed forces here, and make this area truly part of our base area in Jizhong. ”Li Guotao frowned slightly, the situation in this area is much worse than Li Guotao imagined, it is foreseeable that it will not be easy to expand this area into our base area, and this task is definitely not something that can be completed in a short time.However, even in the rare task, since the military region has already issued an order, it must be completed.Thinking of this, Li Guotao asked with a serious face: "Then when will we leave" Commander Meng frowned and said: "According to the meaning of the military region command, the sooner the better." ”Chang De frowned and said with an embarrassed expression: "Commander, you also know our current situation, the troops will be reorganized soon, and I am afraid that there will be no way to go north in a short time." ”Li Guotao frowned and thought for a while and said: "Commander, do you think this is okay, I will take the special combat team to the north first, and the main force will temporarily stay in Anguo for reorganization, and after the reorganization is completed, they will go north to support us." ”"Of course you can, but it can't be too long."
Commander Meng nodded and said, "According to the meaning of the headquarters, you must transfer at least one regiment of the main force to the north, and as the situation develops, if possible, maybe all of them will go north."
Just do as you say, you will personally lead the special combat team to the north first, and Changde and Zhenguo will stay behind and be responsible for the reorganization of the troops, but you must seize the time, take the battalion as a unit, reorganize a battalion, and immediately go north and go to the Pingnan area. ”"It's a guarantee to get the job done."
Li Guotao replied with a serious face."
Then when are you going to go," Commander Meng then asked.Li Guotao thought for a while and said: "Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, we still need to prepare, and we also need to discuss the specific matters of the reorganization of the troops. ”Commander Meng said with a frown."
Commander Meng, rest assured, there is enough time for a whole day tomorrow," Li Guotao said with confidence.Crying for a monthly pass, book friends, good help, thank you, aa2705221:
