The high political commissar laughed and said: "You stinky boy want to give me a good life, you are seriously injured, once the order is issued, send your independent regiment to the western battlefield, you haven't given me a good idea, then you stay at home and guard your Santougu cave barracks, hahaha." ”

"Report to the high political commissar, I won't frown when I go to the battlefield tomorrow." Lei Jian replied loudly again.

Luo Jinchuan said to Lei Jian: "Commander Lei, you are now much more productive than before, only fighting in Fengwang Mountain, it really opened my eyes, from the overall command ability to the individual fighting skills with the enemy, it can really be called flexible command, killing like a tiger descending the mountain, the devils who beat are fleeing in embarrassment, and the devils who are killed cry wolves, which is really convincing." ”

"Battalion Commander Luo, no, Political Commissar Luo, I'm your soldier, praising me like this, isn't that praising yourself? Hahaha, my thunder sword is in front of you, don't dare to be presumptuous, don't spank me when the time comes. Lei Jian laughed wittily, twitching the wound on his shoulder, grinning in pain, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his head.

The high political commissar looked at the two new partners and the old superiors, and said very happily at this time, his worries at the time were only settled down at this time.

He continued: "Seeing that the two of you can cooperate so much, Commander Wu and I are relieved, I hope that you will cooperate sincerely and strive to play a majestic role on the battlefield, but don't lose the face of our Jiaodong Fifth Detachment." ”

"Please rest assured that the Independent Regiment will become more and more courageous and will definitely make new contributions on the new battlefield." Lei Jian and Luo Jinchuan spoke, two pairs of big hands clasped tightly together.

Political Commissar Gao waved his hand and told them all to sit down, he continued: "The second thing I want to say is that the newspapers and radio stations are now publicizing the great victory of Linyi and the Suizao Campaign, and there is quite a controversy about the generals who died heroically in the Suizao Campaign. ”

Lei Jian looked at Luo Jinchuan, Luo Jinchuan shook his head, although he was a political commissar, he really didn't know much about this matter, he smiled and said to Lei Jian: "Captain Lei, it is more appropriate for you to guide this matter, what do you say?" ”

Political Commissar Gao also wanted to hear what Lei Jian's attitude was, so he said on the side: "Commander Lei, you stinky boy, you like to collect intelligence wherever you go, you should have known this matter a long time ago, right?" ”

Lei Jian looked at Political Commissar Gao modestly, and said embarrassedly: "Political Commissar Gao, let me explain this matter, isn't that an axe in the class gate?" Are you a superior leader, and the director of the political department of the detachment headquarters is here, or a ....... ”

Director Liu of the Political Department of the Fifth Detachment stood up and said very principledly: "Hehe, the Political Department of the Detachment, I really can't explain clearly if I haven't received accurate information and materials from the positive channels of the superiors. ”

Lei Jian frowned and asked, "Wouldn't it?" The general who died heroically in the Battle of Suizao, the No. 1 head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, clearly issued a document, saying that General Zhang, who commanded the heroic martyrdom in this battle, is a heroic martyr who is 'loyal to the country', is it ....... ”

"Where did you, you kid hear that? Don't talk nonsense. Luo Jinchuan was afraid that Lei Jian would make a mistake, so he hurriedly stopped him.

Lei Jian had read the relevant materials of the 'Xifengkou Campaign', the 'Linyi Victory' and the 'Suizao Campaign' many times before crossing over, and if his independent regiment participated in the battle known as the 'Battle of the Hundred Regiments' and the 'cage policy' of the Japanese army, the participating troops did not have a correct understanding of the merits and demerits of General Zhang (Zizhong) during this period, and I am afraid that there would be friction in the cooperation with friendly forces, which would affect the overall situation of the War of Resistance.

He felt that he had this historical responsibility, and he should restore the historical truth of General Zhang (Zizhong), so as to help unite the War of Resistance, and the people of the country should share the same hatred and defeat the little devils.

Lei Jian stood up with a serious expression and said: "Political Commissar Gao, I want to explain clearly the issue that the soldiers are arguing about when the appointment of the Independent Regiment is announced, carry forward the spirit of anti-Japanese national heroism, and bravely kill the enemy in the battle against the Japanese army, so that every one of our soldiers can be a true patriotic and patriotic anti-Japanese hero." ”

Political Commissar Gao agreed with Lei Jian's proposal, and he made it clear: "Commander Lei, you take care of your injuries for three or five days, and when your injuries improve, I will set up a stage for you, and you will be the main speaker, this is also the best opportunity for political education in the imminent war, and I support you." ”

Two days later, Lei Jian's shoulder wound has been swollen, coupled with Chun Tao's careful conditioning and dietary supplements, Lei Jian's spirit has improved, on this day, the newly formed independent regiment concentrated in the largest main cave in Santougu, and held a general meeting of all soldiers.

More than 1,000 soldiers of the Independent Regiment, according to the topography of the cave, sat in a relatively concentrated cave with the company as a unit, and on the rostrum in front sat Political Commissar Gao, Lei Jian, Luo Jinchuan, and Director Liu of the Political Department of the detachment.

Luo Jinchuan stood up and said in a loud voice: "All the soldiers are here, please be quiet, and the order will be announced by the senior political commissar of the fifth detachment of the Eighth Route Army." ”

The soldiers on the field knew a little bit of the rumor, but they didn't know much about it, and the mentality of longing to understand the details in their hearts was speeding up their blood, staring at the rostrum with big eyes one by one, and looking at the rostrum with their chests held high.

Political Commissar Gao stood up and said loudly: "I announce the order on behalf of the Eighth Route Army Mountain Column Headquarters and the Fifth Mountain Column Command Headquarters.

The independent battalion of the Fifth Detachment of the Mountain Column of the Eighth Route Army was ordered to form an independent regiment of the Fifth Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, which was composed of the original Leijian Independent Battalion and the independent battalion of the old base area that rushed to Santougu yesterday. ”

After reading out the order, Political Commissar Gao took a piece of paper handed to him by the director of the political department of the detachment, shook the piece of paper in his hand, cleared his throat and said: "At the suggestion of the detachment headquarters, it will be submitted to the mountain column headquarters for approval, and the appointment is as follows.

appointed Lei Jian as the head of the independent regiment of the fifth detachment; appointed Luo Jinchuan as the political commissar of the Independent Regiment; Dong Dayong was appointed director of the Political Department of the Independent League, and ...... was appointed. ”

After reading out the appointment order, Political Commissar Gao said briefly: "On behalf of the higher-level organization, I hope that the newly formed Independent Regiment of the Fifth Detachment of the Eighth Route Army Mountain Column will obey the orders of the higher-ups, bravely kill the enemy, and make new contributions under the new anti-Japanese situation. ”

He looked at the soldiers who were listening carefully and straightened their waists and listened carefully, and raised his voice and asked, "Do you have any determination?" ”

"Yes, yes, resolutely obey orders, kill the enemy bravely, and make new contributions." The soldiers stood up, and under the leadership of the thunder sword, they made the strongest sound of the soldiers in the earth-shaking era, and the sound shook the cave, and the small birds hidden in the dark place of the cave, the frightened 'fluttering ridge' flew out, and flew out of the cave with the soldiers' heads, and with the loud shouts of the soldiers, it spread to the mountains and valleys near and far, constantly causing echoes.

Luo Jinchuan saw that the soldiers were full of spirit and high morale, and he said excitedly: "Soldiers of the Independent Regiment, as the first political commissar of the Independent Regiment, I am very happy and proud to become comrades-in-arms who will bravely kill the enemy on the battlefield in the future with the comrades here.

Among the more than 1,000 cadres and fighters of our independent regiment, except for the cadres and fighters of the independent battalion in the old base area that I brought, they are not very familiar with the new independent battalion, but there are some cadres who have come out of the old independent battalion, and I still have the impression that I hope that the independent regiment formed by the new and old independent battalions, under the leadership of the commander of the Lei Jian regiment, must be a steel force that cannot be defeated or dragged down.

In the past few days, before the formation of the independent regiment, the cadres and soldiers of the Lei Jian Independent Battalion still have some ignorance and misunderstanding about an anti-Japanese national hero. ”

Lei Jian didn't expect that Luo Jinchuan's opening was really in the same vein as modernity, and the propaganda and agitation were in place.

He stood up, looked at the soldiers on the field, and looked at him one by one with a hot and eager look, he, a half-grown child who was about to mature, was surging with his heart, and said in a loud voice: "My Lei Jian and the cadres and soldiers of the new and old independent battalions have a fate in this life, and they have formed a relationship of life and death on this anti-Japanese battlefield that has not been killing devils for a long time.

Today, when the national crisis is at hand, the people of the country are rising up to resist Japan, and in order for us to soon participate in the new and arduous great battle that can leave a name in the annals of history, we have to be here to clarify with you the tragic deeds of a famous general who sacrificed his life to kill the enemy and bravely went to the death to resist Japan, he is General Zhang (Zizhong), a national hero of the anti-Japanese resistance. ”

As soon as the cadres and soldiers on the field heard their new regiment commander praise a very controversial friendly general so sonorously and powerfully, some were dumbfounded, some were dumbfounded, and some stood up dissatisfied, and asked loudly: "Battalion Commander Lei, don't talk nonsense, Zhang is a big traitor and traitor." ”
