Holding the original shares, they fought all the way to the Korean War!

"That's not your fighting ability!"

"It's not because you're good at leading a team!"

Brigade Commander Chen's tone became serious.

"You're a reliable person."

"You never do anything you're not sure of, and you never fight a battle you're not prepared for."

"I've never worried about you going out to build up the team."

"Because I know you can definitely get the team together."

Zhou Tianyang straightened his back and remained silent.

Commander Chen remained silent for a moment.

"Tianyang, I have something to tell you."

Zhou Tianyang looked up at him.

"During this period, the brigade headquarters also recruited quite a few new recruits."

"There are probably around three hundred."

Zhou Tianyang's eyes lit up slightly.

Brigade Commander Chen's tone carried a hint of smugness.

"They were all mobilized from various places; they are strong and have plenty of strength."

"Although he has never been on the battlefield, he has a good foundation. With proper training, he will definitely be a good soldier."

As Zhou Tianyang listened, he began to make plans in his mind.

If all three hundred new recruits were added to the Second New Regiment, the total number of the Second New Regiment would exceed one thousand two hundred.

There are three battalions, each with more than four hundred men.

Although it's not quite a full-strength battalion, it's already fully equipped and manned.

"Brigadier, what do you mean?"

Zhou Tianyang asked tentatively.

Commander Chen's lips curled up slightly.

"What I mean is, all three hundred new recruits are yours."

Zhou Tianyang was stunned for a moment.

"Give it all to me?"

"Yes, I've given you them all."

Brigade Commander Chen's tone left no room for argument.

Consider this a reward from the brigade headquarters.

"You've done something so big, and now you can't make it public."

"As the brigade commander, I can't treat you unfairly, can I?"

His tone carried a hint of emotion.

"So, I'm giving you these three hundred new recruits as a token of my appreciation from the brigade headquarters."

"After you go back, train hard, lead your troops well, and strive to make the New Second Regiment the ace regiment of our 386th Brigade."

Zhou Tianyang immediately stood up, stood at attention, and saluted.

"Brigade Commander, thank you!"

Brigade Commander Chen waved his hand.

"No need to thank me, you deserve it."

He paused, his tone becoming serious.

"However, Tianyang, let me make this clear to you."

"These three hundred new recruits weren't given away for nothing."

"You have to promise me that you'll train them well and not send them to their deaths on the battlefield."

"yes!"

Zhou Tianyang stood at attention and answered in a loud voice.

"Don't worry, Brigade Commander, I will definitely train them well!"

Brigade Commander Chen nodded and said.

"I will have them report to the new Second Regiment within three days."

"After you go back, make sure you have a place to stay and everything is arranged."

"yes!"

Zhou Tianyang sat down again.

Commander Chen looked at him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"The deputy commander-in-chief spoke highly of you during your trip to headquarters."

Zhou Tianyang nodded.

"Brigade Commander, I will certainly live up to the expectations of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief and you."

Brigade Commander Chen waved his hand.

"Alright, stop making declarations of resolve."

He paused, picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, and then put it down.

"By the way, do you know how Li Yunlong is doing lately?"

Zhou Tianyang shook his head.

"Brigade Commander, I haven't been in contact with Lao Li recently."

"I guess he's busy recruiting soldiers too."

Brigade Commander Chen snorted.

"That Li Yunlong, if I don't ask him, he won't report it on his own initiative."

His tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

But there was something indescribable in his eyes.

There was helplessness, appreciation, and a faint sense of anticipation.

"Tianyang, what do you think of Li Yunlong?"

Zhou Tianyang thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Brigade Commander, Old Li is a master of combat."

"They have guts, courage, and tactical acumen."

"The soldiers he trained were all fierce and fearless in battle."

Commander Chen listened and nodded.

"you're right."

"Li Yunlong is indeed skilled in warfare."

"But he has quite a few flaws too."

"Too much troublemaker, too much troublemaker, too unruly."

"Every time I see him, I get a headache."

Zhou Tianyang smiled but didn't say anything.

Brigade Commander Chen picked up the teacup, took another sip of water, and then put it down.

"However, on the other hand..."

"Our Eighth Route Army needs people like him."

"They have guts and courage; they dare to fight the Japanese devils to the death."

"Such cadres may have many flaws, but if used properly, they can be a sharp knife."

His tone carried a mix of emotion and seriousness.

"Tianyang, you have a good relationship with Li Yunlong."

"When you have time, talk to him more."

"One of you is steady, and the other is daring."

"If you can learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses, it will benefit you all."

"yes!"

Zhou Tianyang stood at attention and answered.

"Brigade Commander, I've got it."

Brigade Commander Chen nodded and leaned back in his chair.

"Alright, Tianyang, you can go back now."

"After you go back, lead your troops well and train them properly."

"Those three hundred new recruits will report to your regiment within three days."

"yes!"

Zhou Tianyang stood up, stood at attention, and saluted.

"Brigadier, I'll head back now."

Brigade Commander Chen waved his hand.

"Go."

Zhou Tianyang turned around and strode out of the courtyard.

Political Commissar Wang watched his figure disappear outside the courtyard gate, then turned around and looked at Brigade Commander Chen.

"Old Chen, you just said that Tianyang did something big."

"What big thing is it?"

Brigade Commander Chen looked at him and remained silent for a moment.

Then, he lowered his voice and said, word by word.

"Old Wang, the matter of Kiyoshi Kaori is Tianyang Qian's doing."

Commissar Wang's pupils suddenly contracted.

"What?"

His voice rose a few decibels, filled with undisguised shock.

"Old Chen, what did you say?"

"Kiyoshi Kazuki was assassinated by Tenyo."

Brigade Commander Chen spoke calmly, but every word he uttered carried weight.

Political Commissar Wang's Adam's apple bobbed.

He picked up the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and then slammed the teacup down on the table.

"good!"

He slammed his hand on the table.

His voice was loud, carrying an irrepressible sense of satisfaction.

"Good riddance to that old Japanese devil, Kiyoshi Katsuki!"

He paused, looking at Brigade Commander Chen.

"Old Chen, is the deputy commander aware of this matter?"

"understood."

Brigade Commander Chen nodded.

"I took Tianyang to headquarters today to report this matter to the deputy commander-in-chief."

"The deputy commander-in-chief said that this matter is classified as top secret, and it is not to be mentioned to anyone without his order."

Political Commissar Wang nodded.

"Of course, of course."

"The new Second Regiment is still too weak and cannot withstand the Japanese retaliation."

"This matter really cannot be made public."

Brigade Commander Chen leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Old Wang, tell me, isn't Tianyang giving our 386th Brigade Commander a hard time?"

Political Commissar Wang smiled.

"It's more than just a source of pride."

"They have done a tremendous service to our 386th Brigade."

"A Japanese army lieutenant general was sniped by a regimental commander of our 386th Brigade."

"If word gets out, our 386th Brigade's reputation will be even greater."

Brigade Commander Chen smiled as well.

"That's why I gave him those three hundred new recruits."

Consider it a reward for him.

"The rewards from headquarters belong to headquarters, and the rewards from the brigade belong to the brigade."

"Who made Tianyang look good for me?"
