Chapter 302, Honorary Title of Heroes
It starts with holding on to Huangya Cave and ends with the ambush of the Ninth Brigade of the Japanese Army.

After the Hundred Regiments War, the most massive battle ended with the victory of the Eighth Route Army.

half a month later.

The residence of the New Second Regiment.

The cadres of each company, platoon and battalion will gather in the courtyard of the regiment headquarters, waiting for the announcement of a major event.

Before that, they exchanged pleasantries with each other.

The third battalion commander stepped forward happily and gave him a hug: "Oh, old Sun, is your arm okay?"

"Hey, the doctor made too much fuss. He was drilled by the devil Sanba Dagai. You see, it's all right now."

Sun Desheng also patted the wounded arm wrapped in bandages vigorously, boldly expressing that it was okay.

The commander of the third battalion said, "Thank you very much. Without the help of your cavalry company, our battalion would have suffered a lot. Your cavalry company is doing well."

Several waves of charges by the cavalry company completely killed four or five hundred devils, and the record achieved was extremely proud.

But it also paid a considerable price. Nearly half of the casualties were left, and only half remained.

It will take another three months to half a year to return to the peak.

The commander of the fourth battalion is pulling the commander of the second battalion to ask: "I heard that you have installed submachine guns, one for each squad?"

"That's right, the firepower of the whole battalion has almost doubled." The second battalion commander couldn't help grinning.

Thirty submachine guns have a qualitative improvement in combat effectiveness.

The first battalion was the first to be equipped with a large number of submachine guns, and its combat effectiveness could compete with a brigade of little devils.

He is now looking forward to how surprised the little devil will be when he meets their second battalion again when the troops form a fighting force.

Guaranteed to beat them crying father and mother.

The Fourth Battalion Commander was left with a grudge, not to mention the number of submachine guns, even if they had them, they would definitely be equipped with them last.

Who made their fourth battalion the worst combat effectiveness, the worse it is, the less good equipment it has.The less you have good equipment, the more you will be compared. It has become a vicious circle.

No, after going back, you have to practice hard and take off the hat of the last one.

Zhang Dabiao was in the back room, serving tea and water to the brigade commander and the others.

The brigade commander came here in person, and Li Yunlong's blessing can be very small.

Sixty submachine guns, rounds of ammunition, and other odds and ends of rifles and grenades, the New Second Regiment's seizures on the battlefield were reduced by half.

Hugging grass and beating rabbits has become a habit.

Li Yunlong complained with a mournful face: "Brigade Commander, can you let me go?"

The others don't matter, the sixty submachine guns were originally intended to supplement the firepower of the third and fourth battalions.

The brigade commander blew on the tea leaves floating on the water, and took a sip. It was really good tea, and the young life was more comfortable than him.

"Why, you Captain Li, do you really want all your troops to fight with machine guns?"

Li Yunlong said: "How can there be, this is where it is, one class will add one, and the rest will have to use rifles, which is far behind."

The implication is that he really thought about it, but the current conditions are not enough.

The brigade commander was taken aback.

"You kid really dare to think! There are so many guns, do you have so many bullets?

Besides, the number of light and heavy machine guns and artillery in your regiment is already much stronger than that of little devils of the same size.

That's enough, the other regiments don't have as many machine guns as one of your companies.Give others a way out! "

The brigade commander really couldn't stand it, and ridiculed Li Yunlong for his lack of greed.

If it wasn't for Yuan Lang being in the New Second Regiment, he would be able to win the moon first, so would some good things get his turn, Li Yunlong?
Really, the one who picks and searches is like a rich landlord.

Naturally, Li Yunlong didn't dare to contradict the brigade commander, he promised submissively on the surface, but complained in his heart.

It was clearly agreed that it was here to present honors and awards.I didn't listen to what the reward was, anyway, it was robbed first.

How can there be such a truth in the world!

The brigade commander still wanted to fool him. He had already found out clearly that the two boys Ding Wei and Kong Jie wiped out the team behind the devil.

Four intact heavy artillery pieces, guns and ammunition supplies, etc. were seized. There were too many of them, and no figures could be calculated for a while.

The devils that the New Second Regiment wiped out in Huangyadong did not capture too many weapons. They were all picked up by the Japanese army, and now they all fell into the hands of the brigade commander.

So many weapons and equipment are enough to equip several regiments, and they are still crying and robbing him like this.

... Sigh, forget it, who let the official rank crush people to death.

"The tea is good, pack two catties for me when you leave." The brigade commander has tasted the taste, he is all broken tea and wild tea, not as good as Li Yunlong's tea.

"It's all from friends. I still have less than five catties. I'll wrap it up for you when I leave." Yuan Lang, who was watching the play, said with a smile.

The tea was obtained in Yangquan last time, and he didn't drink anything good. It is also great to borrow flowers to offer Buddha.

The brigade commander just wondered when Li Yunlong would drink tea, so it turned out to be like this.

"Okay, it's really good tea, so I won't be polite to you."

The affection of fighting side by side together, too polite will appear to be born.

Everyone outside has already arrived, and there are no. 80 cadres at the third level of the battalion, company and platoon.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang surrounded the brigade commander and came to the courtyard. The cadres had already heard the news in advance. After all, in the battle of Huangyadong, their new second regiment did achieve a proud result.

The award is definitely a certainty.

It's just not sure how the superiors will reward them.

"Very well, just by looking at your spirits, I know this is a unit that can win the battle." The brigade commander's eyes swept over everyone, and he used this as his opening remark.

In the Huangyadong battle, the New Second Regiment fought fiercely with five times as many enemies for eight days and nights, killing and wounding more than Japanese soldiers, achieving a casualty ratio of one to ten.

The central government commented that this was the most successful and exemplary battle against mopping up in the past years.

The Eighth Route Army headquarters awarded the honorable title of "Huangyadong Defense Heroes Regiment" to the new second regiment in charge of defending the arsenal.

The defense of Huangyadong showed the tenacious style of the Eighth Route Army's millet plus rifles, and created a miracle of winning more with less.

Every time the brigade commander finished reading a paragraph, the cadres in the yard returned warm applause.

Appraised by the central government, commended by the headquarters, and the honorable title of the hero group.

Not to mention the other cadres, Li Yunlong was stunned when he heard this, and only mechanical applause remained.

"Leader Li, can you tell me a few words?"

The brigade commander's kind voice sounded in his ears, and Li Yunlong finally came back to his senses.

Facing the eager eyes of the cadres, his whole heart was pounding. Even on the most intense battlefield, he had never been so nervous as he is now.

The honor is too heavy, like a heavy mountain on the shoulders.

The title of the hero group is both an honor and a responsibility.

Li Yunlong said proudly, "We played well in Huangyadong, the head of the headquarters awarded us the title of hero group, and our new second group can afford it.

But, we can't be proud because of this. We must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, show better results, and prove to the heads of the headquarters that we can afford more honors. "

Li Yunlong asked loudly: "Do you have confidence?"

"Have……!"

The cadres responded loudly.

Under the leadership of the team leader, they have won one victory after another.

They believe that in the future, the team leader will still lead them to more victories and more honors.

Zhao Gang also stood up and said something briefly. The brigade commander didn't make a long speech, and the two of them couldn't say too much.

After receiving such a great honor, there is nothing to say next, adding a meal to celebrate, it is like celebrating the new year in advance.

The logistics department of the regiment moved out boxes of various canned food, and two of the pigs were killed.

Everyone was beaming. Even the villagers in the village where the camp was stationed asked what happened. Is the Chinese New Year ahead of schedule?

The soldiers said proudly: "Our army won a big victory and beat up the little devil. The headquarters said we are a heroic regiment!"

The villagers were a little hard of hearing, but they were still very happy to hear about killing the devil: "Killing the devil is indeed a hero."

Several tables were set up in the regiment headquarters, pancakes were baked, pork stewed with vermicelli, and canned meat fried with cabbage.

It looks very simple, but this is indeed a good meal that the Eighth Route Army can't usually eat.

"Come, come, let the brigade commander tell us a few words."

At the dinner table, the person with the highest status is invited to speak a few words. I don't know when it became a custom.

Li Yunlong couldn't avoid it, and set up the brigade commander who stayed for dinner.

The brigade commander is very friendly, Li Yunlong can't praise it, but he can praise the soldiers who fought bloody battles and are not afraid of sacrifice.

"Substitute water for wine today, and I wish you all the best in the days to come!"

Picking up the bowl and taking a sip, the brigade commander realized something was wrong: "How could it be wine?"

"Brigade Commander, today is a day of great joy, you have to drink!" Li Yunlong picked up the wine bowl.

"Don't take this as an example, I will do it first as a respect." The brigade commander didn't continue to struggle, he drank the bowl in one gulp, and showed the empty bowl to everyone.

Li Yunlong and the others also followed, having a bowl of wine and dinner.

Halfway through the meal, the telegraph operator in the telecommunications room hurried over and called the brigade commander away.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other, hurriedly finished the food, and followed him out.

Sending the telegram to their regiment, they can't wait for a moment, obviously something big happened.

Sure enough, when the two of them went to the telegraph room and saw the brigade commander, the brigade commander had a heavy face and his brows were tightly frowned, not at all like the calm brigade commander in the past.

"Brigade Commander, what happened?" Zhao Gang asked.

The brigade commander opened his mouth, and finally used a very blunt address: "Lao Jiang has made an old problem again."

old problem?
Before Zhao Gang thought about it, Li Yunlong, who had fought against encirclement and suppression several times, realized it: anti-Communist.

Four words were used to summarize this incident in history: the Southern Anhui Incident.

To fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside. This is the most famous sentence of the Chairman of the Chongqing Municipal Committee.

After the September th Incident, the basic national policy of the Chairman's Nanjing government was to secure the internal affairs first.

What did he think?
The chairman believes that facing two wars against Japan and the Communist Party, the Nationalist Party will be attacked from both sides.

He said: "External aggression is not a concern, and internal bandits are really a confidant's trouble."

Strictly order to clean up the internal bandits first, and then talk about resisting Japan.

Claim: The central government is now putting down civil strife as its top priority.

This is the basic basis of the policy of "safety at home and resistance to foreign affairs".

The chairman of the committee made it clear that the first responsibility of the Kuomintang government is to suppress the bandits to secure the country, and the second responsibility is to resist Japan and fight against the outside world.

The work of suppressing the Communist Party is actually a prerequisite for resisting Japan.

The attitude towards Japan in the anti-foreign policy is to "bear humiliation" and "bear the burden of humiliation".

An important reason why the Nanjing government adopted a policy of compromise with Japan was determined by their class characteristics.

In their view, China, which is backward, is unable to defeat Japan, and "everything in China is inferior to others."

The chairman of the committee has repeatedly stated that "do not seek quick success for a while" and do not "gain vanity for a while".

Therefore, the Hundred Regiments Battle of the Eighth Route Army exposed the strength of 40 troops, which once again provoked the chairman's sensitive nerves.

In October last year, the Hundred Regiments War had just ended.

The chairman instructed He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi to send a telegram (namely "Haodian") to the Eighth Army in the name of the Military Commission of the Guodang government and the chief and deputy chief of staff.
"Haodian" carried out various attacks and slanders against the Rabbit Party and the armed forces led by it, and demanded that the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army that persisted in the war of resistance in the north and south of the river all march to the north of the Yellow River within one month.

The 50 Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were merged and reduced to 10.

At the same time, the Guo Party authorities secretly ordered Tang Enbo, Li Pinxian, Han Deqin, Gu Zhutong and other departments to prepare to attack the New Fourth Army.

"Haodian" became the starting point of the second anti-communist upsurge.

On January 1, more than 4 people from the headquarters of the New Fourth Army and its southern Anhui troops, which were ordered to move north, departed from the Yunling garrison and headed north by detour.

On the 6th, in the Maolin area of ​​Jing County, AH, they were suddenly surrounded and attacked by more than people from seven divisions of the Guo Party army.

The New Fourth Army fought bravely for seven days and nights, but was outnumbered and ran out of ammunition and food. Except for about people who broke through the encirclement, some were scattered, and most died heroically or were captured.

Li Yunlong was already cursing, Zhao Gang also frowned like the brigade commander.

Half a month ago, it was their Eighth Route Army who fought bloody battles for the country and the nation and wiped out Japanese troops.

But in a blink of an eye, the official government of the country directed the army to turn their guns and shoot at their own people.

How not to make people feel cold!

The telegram also wrote that the Guo army in North China publicly surrendered to the Japanese army, and the number was about 3.

The reason is that the Chongqing government secretly promulgated a policy of passively resisting Japan and actively opposing the Communist Party.

Taking refuge in the Japanese is not counted as a traitor, nor will it be liquidated.

As long as we actively carry out military attacks and economic blockades on the base areas of the Eighth Route, we are still heroes of the Guo Party.

Under this traitorous policy of "saving the country with curves", the Guo party army on the North China battlefield began to resist Japan passively.

Although they said they wanted to preserve their strength, it was obvious what kind of heart they were actually hiding.

The Japanese reached a tacit agreement with the Guo army to reduce the input of troops in the confrontation, and the manpower deployed will fall on dealing with the Eighth Route Army.

Next, the life of the Eighth Route Army will be even more difficult.

"You all know the matter. Instead of scolding the enemy, you should put more energy into the training of the troops. It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself."

The brigade commander patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder, nodded at Zhao Gang, and immediately led him back.

"It's not a fucking thing." Li Yunlong cursed, and Zhao Gang knew who he was cursing without guessing.

Who else could it be?
The one who wrote the diary in Chongqing.
