Lei Jian let go of Commander Chen's hand holding him, held the door frame with his left hand, insisted on standing a little bit, raised his right hand, and returned a military salute to the independent regiment cadres who were still saluting, although he had a lot of reluctance in his heart, but this was a heroic unit of the Eighth Route Army, he Lei Jian was not the head of this army, this army has always been a heroic unit that cannot be broken or dragged down.

He whispered to Commander Chen: "Commander Chen, now that the cadres of the Independent Regiment are all here, can I say a few words, and you will announce the list of cadres who have been approved by you?" ”

"Okay, you can say it."

Lei Jian said simply and forcefully: "The Independent Regiment of the Fifth Detachment of the Eighth Route Army Mountain Column is now reorganized into the comrades above the company of the East Vertical Independent Regiment, I, Lei Jian, am no longer the head of this unit, and has been appointed as the head of the newly formed Independent Regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. ”

Lei Jian pretended to be calm and said these words to hide his inseparable blood and fire feelings for these life and death comrades standing in the courtyard, he still couldn't help but shed tears, crying, crying upper body twitching, crying whimpering.

The soldiers standing in the courtyard looked at their regimental commander Lei, who was about to leave the independent regiment, and in the end, they choked up, and the inseparable feelings in their hearts erupted, and they cried loudly.

They knew that Lei Jian had left this army since then, leaving the comrades-in-arms who got along day and night, in order to give Commander Lei Jian a strong trip, in order to show that they could reassure Commander Lei to leave the independent regiment, they followed Lei Jian with tears in their eyes and shouted, 'We are about to separate, I hope that we, the comrades-in-arms who have been condensed with life and blood, will fight bravely and kill more devils on different anti-Japanese battlefields', and kill devils——。 ”

Lei Jian controlled his feelings, shook his head a few times, shook off the tears in his eyes and face, but he couldn't shake off the comrade-in-arms condensed with blood and life, his face showed a smile of flavor, and said with a smile: "Comrades, we must resolutely implement the orders issued by the superior leaders, and when we are about to leave, please ask Commander Chen of the East Column to announce the new orders and personnel appointments." ”

The cadres of the Independent Regiment in the courtyard were staring at the paper in Commander Chen's hand, they didn't know how to arrange Lei Jian, and they didn't know if they could follow Commander Lei Jian and continue to fight the devil bloodily.

Commander Chen coughed lightly and made a few simple opening remarks: "Comrades, we are all cadres of the Eighth Route Army, and all actions are under command, and now I announce the order, ordering the East Column to form a new independent regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region in the Peacock Valley, composed of new soldiers who broke through Deshi Road to participate in the Eighth Route Army, and ordered the cavalry battalion of the independent regiment of the fifth detachment of the original mountain column to be assigned to the new independent regiment sequence of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region;

Comrade Lei Jian was dismissed from the post of head of the Independent Regiment of the Fifth Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, and Comrade Ma Mingshan was removed from the post of director of the Eastern Column Operations Division; Comrade Lei Jian was appointed as the head of the newly formed Independent First Regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region; Comrade Ma Mingshan is the political commissar; Comrades Wang Xiaoliang and Li Gang are the deputy heads; Comrade Kong Xiang, the former staff officer of the Eastern Column, was the director of the Political Department; Comrade Zhang Ping is the director of the Electrical Investigation Division, and Comrade Ma Ming is the commander of the cavalry battalion; Comrade Zhang Ting was the commander of the first battalion; Comrade Song Zhida is the commander of the second battalion; Comrade Huang Yong is the commander of the third battalion, and Comrade He Chuntao is the captain of the health team; Deputy battalion commander ....... ”

The cadres standing in the courtyard, listening to Commander Chen's appointment to a position, the eagerness and anxiety in their hearts increased a few points, when Commander Chen finished announcing the order and the appointment, some people were really happy and some cried, they didn't shout or cry, they just stood silently in the courtyard, looking at Lei Jian with tears in their eyes.

Lei Jian saluted the cadres of the Independent Regiment again, and shouted in a loud voice: "All the cadres of the Independent Regiment are here, Lizheng ——, salute and send off Commander Chen, and ask Regiment Commander Luo to lead the cadres of the newly formed Independent Regiment of the East Column to return to the army, and I, Lei Jian, will always be your comrade-in-arms and brother." I would like to ask Regiment Commander Luo and Political Commissar Dong to represent me and the cadres who have left the Independent Regiment and express my respect to the cadres and soldiers of the Independent Regiment. ”

Commander Chen couldn't bear to look at these comrades-in-arms who were condensed together with blood and life on the battlefield, and the reluctance to give up when they parted, he said to Lei Jian: "Lei boy, we will have a date later." ”

There were only Wang Xiaoliang and a few cadres who were reappointed and served in the newly formed independent regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region in the courtyard, he saw Wang Xiaoliang and several people with spring on their faces, laughing and rushing over, Lei Jian's hands hurriedly made a movement to push out, Chun Tao's body moved, blocked in front of Lei Jian and shouted: "Don't be excited, the injury on the head of Lei is not yet good, don't accidentally touch the wound, leave a step and then speak." ”

Wang Xiaoliang shook his head and laughed "Haha" and laughed: "Captain Lei, you haven't come back for more than three days, the head of the regiment has no share of you, I'm really afraid that you won't have a position when you come back, I'm so anxious, I'm afraid of ......." ”

"You bastard, you're afraid that my thunder sword will come back alive, right?"

"No, no, no, there is a misunderstanding, I am afraid that I will transfer you alone, and leave the brothers of the independent regiment and go by myself, haha, I didn't expect that you would form a new independent regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and bring a few of us with you, enough brothers, along the way, I can still live to continue to follow you to kill devils, comfortable, according to your words, 'cool'."

"Wang Xiaoliang, don't get carried away, it seems that your kid has a weak feeling, separated from his comrades-in-arms, not only does he not have nostalgia, but he can also laugh out loud, I doubt that you took the soldiers back to the position twice to find me Lei Jian, is it sincere, now it seems that I have a number in my heart, hey, it is all clouds fluttering in the sky."

Wang Xiaoliang felt that he had been wronged by Lei Jian's words, he rushed to Lei Jian, stretched out his hand to grab Lei Jian's collar, suddenly paused and shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Captain Lei, you say these words, it is like a piece of ice in winter stabbing into my heart, cooling my heart, I was ...... at the time, woo woo ......." ”

"Hahaha, you bastard, you made me cry while talking, is it a little promising? I'm kidding you, you kid is so careless, okay, okay, now it's all ready for me. ”

The cadres of the newly formed independent regiment in the courtyard stood upright, looking at Lei Jian with bright eyes, Wang Xiaoliang took a step forward and turned to the cadres standing in the courtyard and shouted: "Take a break, stand upright——、 report the number." ”

'One, two, three...... ’

Wang Xiaoliang waited for the report to finish, then turned around and reported: "Report to Regiment Commander Lei, the number of cadres of the newly formed independent regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has reached twelve, please instruct." ”

Lei Jian looked at the cadres standing in front of him and said: "Comrades, the new independent regiment is a newly formed army, everything has to start from scratch, you are all the backbone and backbone of the new regiment, in this new army, you must lead this army with extraordinary ability and ...... way. ”

At this moment, Ma Mingshan, chief of the East Column Operations Division, carrying a backpack, pistol, and briefcase, ran into the courtyard and immediately reported: "Report to Regiment Commander Lei, and Ma Mingshan, political commissar of the regiment, have come to report. ”

"My Director Ma, do you really want to partner with me? Welcome, welcome, come into the house, let's immediately convene the first cadre meeting of the new independent regiment, do you say? Lei Jian said and ordered the cadres in the courtyard: "Wang Xiaoliang, Deputy Regiment Commander Li Gang and Director Kong of the Political Department will stay, and the others will immediately rush back to the recruit unit, make preparations for pacification, and wait for the regiment to finish the meeting, and then make the next arrangements." ”

Back in the house, Lei Jian said straight to the point: "The first military meeting of the new independent regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was officially held, and we don't have time to sit down and carefully study the next step of the work.

Wang Xiaoliang and Li Gang, deputy head of the regiment, are now returning to the recruit unit, reorganizing the team and carrying out a thorough investigation, you must know that in this area, the practice of martial arts is very strong, and these new soldiers who have joined the army will basically play two tricks, and we must select 100 new soldiers with excellent skills through the easiest method, and I have other arrangements.

Kong Xiang, director of the Political Work Department, led the backbone of the grassroots to do a good job in the ideological work of the new soldiers, so that these new soldiers initially know who to be a soldier for, and for whom to be a soldier. ”

Ma Mingshan didn't expect Lei Jian, the young head of the regiment, to speak so simply, he nodded appreciatively and said: "Commander Lei, I don't have any opinions in front of me, everything will be implemented according to the orders you issued, and I will handle the personnel handover with Regiment Leader Luo immediately." ”

Lei Jian knew that his time was pressing, and now the New Seventh Brigade and the New Ninth Brigade of the East Column in Peacock Valley had left, and the East Vertical Independent Regiment would leave soon after completing the handover.

At that time, there will be only a new contingent of recruits left in the noisy Peacock Valley, and he will reorganize this unit in the shortest possible time, quickly leave the Peacock Valley, continue to advance westward, and lead the troops as soon as possible to the location of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to accept new combat missions.
