After the battle, Liu Hong truthfully reported the results of the battle to the headquarters of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and on the morning of the next day, the armed forces received a call back from the headquarters.

"Uh-huh~!" Wu Feng cleared his throat, held a telegram in his hand, and read it in a serious manner: "Liu Hong is hereby appointed as the captain of the First Brigade of the Armed Forces of the Jizhong Military Region, and the headquarters is immediately reorganized into the First Brigade of the Armed Forces Brigade, and Liu Hong is given full authority to command all the guerrilla militias of the Jizhong Military Region. Wanger and others made persistent efforts to make another miraculous contribution to the anti-Japanese cause. This order: Eighteenth Group Army Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region Headquarters, August 12, 31st year of the Republic of China. ”

Wu Feng had just finished reading, and Bai Ling smiled and leaned in front of Liu Hong and said, "Captain? So you're promoted again? ”

Liu Hong shook his head with a smile and said, "What's the difference between being promoted and not being promoted?" As long as I can fight the little devils, let me be a big soldier. ”

"Cut~! It's cheap and good. Bai Ling said with a disdainful expression.

Wu Feng interjected with a smile: "Nothing else?" However, the headquarters authorized the brigade commander to have full authority to command all the guerrillas and militia in the entire Jizhong Military Region, and with this letter of appointment, we will be able to hold the sword of Shang Fang in our hands, and in the future, as long as we are in the Jizhong Military Region, we can mobilize all local guerrillas at will to assist us in fighting. ”

Liu Hong smiled and nodded and said: "This is not bad, but after the devil's sweep is over, the main force has all retreated, and the guerrillas and militia in various places have also been devastated by the devils, and I am afraid there are not many troops left, the headquarters gave us this right, just hoping that we can integrate this part of the force and minimize our losses." It's not a right, it's a responsibility, a heavy burden. ”

Bai Ling said with a smile: "I remember you once said a sentence, what is it called, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." The command has put this burden on your shoulders, does it mean that your ability is particularly strong! ”

Liu Hong shook his head with a smile and said, "I really didn't expect you girl to become so good at talking." ”

Bai Ling said with a smile: "Now that you have been promoted, we also want to ask for some money, of course we have to pick up the nice ones." ”

"Good!" Liu Hong nodded, and then said seriously: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." Comrade Bai Ling, after the organization's inspection of you, I feel that you have outstanding ability, and I have decided to entrust you with greater responsibility, hoping that you will not live up to the trust of the organization. ”

"What?" Bai Ling asked curiously.

Liu Hong said with a serious face: "As the captain of the first brigade of the martial arts team, I officially appoint you as the captain of the second squadron of the first brigade, and I will take up my post immediately." ”

"That's it?" Bai Ling stared at the big eyes and asked, "Then how many guns and how many people are you going to allocate to us?" ”

"One person, not a single gun, just those under your command, immediately reorganize into the second squadron, carry out the order!" Liu Hong said with a smile.

Bai Ling said with some disappointment: "What's the use of that!" You're too stingy! ”

"What about us?" Zhao Lei hurriedly asked.

Liu Hong said with a smile: "Zhao Lei is the leader of the first squadron, and Zhou Wenxuan is the leader of the third squadron. ”

"And me? You've all been promoted, so you can't leave me behind! Wu Feng said with some dissatisfaction.

Liu Hong said angrily: "You are now the battalion commander, how can you be promoted?" ”

"You think I'm willing to take those recruits, I said respected comrade captain, you can't be alone! Can't we change people and find someone to take over my shift? I can't go to the battlefield with those recruits all day long, and I can't go to the battlefield, so I can't fight a battle, and I'm still scared, for fear that these recruits will suffer too many casualties, I've really had enough of this kind of life. Wu Feng couldn't help but complain.

"Someone else?" Liu Hong smiled and said, "That's not impossible. ”

"Great!" Wu Feng said excitedly.

Liu Hong continued: "Let's do this, as long as you can find a candidate who is more suitable than you to be the commander of this recruit battalion, we will replace him immediately." ”

"Him! Zhao Lei! Wu Feng stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Lei and said.

Liu Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think he will do better than you?" Don't worry, I'm not worried about him, I'm afraid he's stupid to my boot camp. ”

Zhao Lei was very cooperative, and he smirked and said, "What the captain said is right, I'm really not suitable." ”

Wu Feng also seemed to think that Zhao Lei was not very reliable, his fingers moved slowly, and fell on Bai Ling, only to see Bai Ling's eyes glaring, and said softly: "Huh~?" ”

Frightened, Wu Feng hurriedly pointed at Zhou Wenxuan, and said with a smile: "Zhou Wenxuan, this kid is steady, he must be better than me as the commander of this recruit battalion, so it's good to give him this position." ”

Liu Hong glanced at Zhou Wenxuan up and down, nodded first, then shook his head, and said: "Lao Zhou is indeed a good candidate, but I don't think he may do better than you, I think you should be the battalion commander first!" Let's do this, I'll give you a position of deputy captain, the commander of the recruit battalion is only part-time, if you can find a more suitable candidate, you can come back at any time, how about it? ”

When Zhou Wenxuan heard this, he was relieved, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Captain, the captain is really wise!" It was immediately clear that I was not as good as Camp Commander Wu. ”

Wu Feng's old face drooped, like a deflated ball, he looked at these people with resentment, and gritted his teeth and said: "I can see that you guys are just ganging up to bully me!" I don't know where there is oppression, there is opposition. ”

"Objections are invalid!" Liu Hong smiled and said, "Do you want to raise your hand to vote, if it's not four to one, even if you win, dare not!" ”

Wu Feng glanced at the four guys, and saw that all four of them were looking at him with a smile on their faces, and there seemed to be a hint of provocation in their eyes, Wu Feng sighed helplessly and said, "Okay!" I obey the organization, but I reserve my opinion. ”

Liu Hong waved his hand and said: "Okay, it's okay, it's fun, it's fun, it's trouble, but we must not delay the right thing, especially the training task of the recruit camp, we must pay close attention to it, and we must train this group of soldiers as soon as possible into a group of elite divisions that can fight and win battles." ”

Wu Feng nodded and said: "You can rest assured, through this battle, the recruit camp has also exposed many problems, I will seize the time to train well, and let these rabbit cubs grow into real warriors as soon as possible." ”

Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction and said: "The war situation we are facing is becoming more and more severe, and the burden on our shoulders is getting heavier and heavier, none of us can take it lightly, don't start to our tails because of a few small victories, the current situation is still that the enemy is strong and I am weak, as long as we are a little careless, it is possible to capsize in the gutter, this is the scene I don't want to see." ”
