Chapter 131 Zhao Gang Takes Office as Political Commissar of the Independent Regiment
Li Yunlong looked around but did not see the second battalion commander Shen Quan.
"Zhang Dabiao, where is Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan? Where did this guy go? Why can't we see him?"
After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Zhang Dabiao looked around but did not find Shen Quan.
"Captain, he was by my side when we were attacking just now. How come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?" Zhang Dabiao asked puzzledly.
"Is there something wrong?"
"Zhang Dabiao, you crow mouth, shut up."
Li Yunlong turned to the guard and shouted, "Guard, go find the Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan right away."
The guard turned around and went looking for Shen Quan.
At this time, the second battalion commander Shen Quan was leading a company of soldiers to chase Zhang Youcai's platoon of Japanese invaders.
At the beginning of the battle, Zhang Youcai fired a few shots and then led the two devils to run towards the back mountain.
When Shen Quan in the attacking team saw that some Japanese soldiers were trying to escape, he immediately led a company of soldiers to chase them madly.
The fleeing Japanese soldiers discovered the independent regiment pursuing them from behind.
The squad leader found Zhang Youcai and said in fear: "It's not good, platoon leader, the Eighth Route Army is catching up with us."
"Shut up, I know the Eighth Route Army is chasing us. Run quickly, why are you still talking?"
The Japanese troops sped up their escape.
After running for about a mile, all the Japanese soldiers began to feel exhausted. After a long period of no training, their physical strength had seriously declined and they were out of breath after running not far.
The soldiers of the independent regiment chasing from behind quickly closed the distance.
The second Japanese squad leader panted and said, "Platoon Leader, I really can't run anymore. Why don't we surrender? After all, the Eighth Route Army treats prisoners well, right?"
Zhang Youcai took a few deep breaths and said, "Let's surrender. We can't run away anyway. At least the Eighth Route Army treats prisoners well."
The traitors sat on the ground, waiting for the arrival of the independent regiment.
Shen Quan and his men chased after them and surrounded the Japanese invaders.
"Raise your hands and surrender. Hand over your guns and you won't be killed."
The traitors threw their guns to the ground and raised their hands.
Shen Quan began to escort the Japanese devils back to the base.
On the way back, Shen Quan met the guard who came to look for him.
"Captain Shen, I finally found you. The regiment commander was worried about you. Come with me and report to the regiment commander that you are safe."
Shen Quan immediately followed the guard and quickly returned to the base.
"Report to the regiment commander, Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan is here to report."
Li Yunlong looked at Shen Quan in front of him and said, "Captain Shen, where did you go during the battle just now?"
"Captain, when we were attacking just now, I saw a group of Japanese soldiers trying to escape. I led my men to chase them and now we have captured them all."
Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Captain Shen, don't take the team on your own next time. I thought something happened to you."
"Yes, Captain. There won't be a next time." Shen Quan promised.
"Go and take your men to clean up the battlefield."
After 10 minutes.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Li Yunlong led the independent regiment back to Yangcun.
The entire Japanese Huting stronghold was cleaned up thoroughly, and even the clothes on the Japanese corpses were stripped off, leaving only a pair of underpants for the Japanese soldiers.
..............
The next morning.
After counting the spoils early in the morning, Zhang Dabiao ran to the headquarters.
"Captain, we made a fortune attacking the Huting stronghold this time."
"We seized 38 Type 80 rifles, 31142 rounds of ammunition, three Type 21000 light machine guns, and rounds of ammunition from the Japanese.
Among them, one light machine gun was destroyed, three grenade launchers were seized, 3 artillery shells, 60 grenades... and a number of other military supplies. "
After hearing the seized intelligence, Li Yunlong nodded without showing any extra expression.
Zhang Dabiao was very confused when he saw this. What happened to the regiment commander? He was not even happy about such a huge capture.
If Li Yunlong knew what Zhang Dabiao was thinking, he would definitely say, "I have seen all kinds of spoils in the county brigade. This little bit of spoils is nothing. I, Li, don't even care about it."
After Li Yunlong had been in the county brigade for a period of time, his entire ideological concept changed greatly. When other Eighth Route Army troops were short of guns and bullets, Li Yunlong now looked down on the captured items.
Then Li Yunlong said, "Zhang Dabiao, distribute the captured guns to the soldiers."
"Yes, Captain."
.............
The Eighth Route Army Headquarters in Daxiawan.
Today, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters welcomed a special person.
Zhao Gang, a top student from the Anti-Japanese University assigned from YA.
A few days ago, the head of the headquarters was very happy after receiving a call from YA.
The current Eighth Route Army is very short of senior command talents, and every senior commander is very valuable to the Eighth Route Army.
When the leader learned about Zhao Gang's educational experience and background, he was very much looking forward to his arrival.
Zhao Gang came to the general headquarters under the leadership of the Eighth Route Army soldiers.
He strode into the command post and saluted.
"Reporting to the commander, Eighth Route Army soldier Zhao Gang has arrived to report for duty."
The leaders in the command center couldn't stop smiling when they saw the handsome Zhao Gang.
"Comrade Zhao Gang, welcome to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters."
"It's been a long journey. I hope you didn't encounter any danger." The leader asked with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Commander. The journey was very smooth and we did not encounter any danger."
The chief nodded.
"Comrade Zhao Gang, I have arranged a dormitory for you. Go and have a rest first."
"Commander, I'm not tired. I want to get down to work right away." Zhao Gang replied.
The chief smiled and said, "Hahaha, that's right, being young is good, full of energy."
"Zhao Gang, I wonder what position you want to hold in the Eighth Route Army."
Zhao Gang replied: "Commander, I want to serve in the front-line troops."
After hearing what Zhao Gang said, the leader advised: "Xiao Zhao, you have to think carefully. The front line is very dangerous. As a top student of the Anti-Japanese University, I can let you serve as a combat staff officer in the headquarters."
Zhao Gang shook his head.
"Commander, before coming to the Eighth Route Army, I had already made preparations. I will go to the front line to command the troops in battle. I am not afraid of danger."
The head of the headquarters saw that Zhao Gang had a determined look on his face.
"Okay, since Comrade Zhao Gang wants to go to the front line, I won't stop you.
You have just arrived at the Eighth Route Army and have never led troops in battle before, so I cannot let you directly serve as the military commander of the unit. "
After hearing what the chief said, Zhao Gang said, "Chief, I will follow your arrangements."
The commander pondered for a moment in the command center and looked up at Zhao Gang.
"Comrade Zhao Gang, I plan to transfer you to the independent regiment to serve as the political commissar.
The Independent Regiment is one of the main force regiments of our Eighth Route Army. Its commander is Li Yunlong, who has always been active on the front battlefield. You can learn a lot by going to the Independent Regiment.
Especially the leader of the independent regiment, Li Yunlong, he is an expert at leading troops in battle."
Zhao Gang answered loudly: "Yes, Commander, I am willing to serve as the political commissar of the independent regiment."
