Chapter 479: Three Days Later
November 15, 1938.
Three days have passed since the grand event of the 512th Brigade.
5 a.m.
The soldiers of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army got up early as usual, and they all went out on the training ground to practice their skills in killing enemies.
The soldiers' expressions were all excited! Everyone could not forget the grand event of the military parade, promotion, and awarding ranks three days ago.
Especially the new soldiers who joined were extremely high-pitched, and they trained more vigorously and harder than the veterans of the 512th Brigade.
This scene made the veterans of the 512th Brigade very pleased.
"Look at it, this Guangzhou is worthy of being the revolutionary holy land of China. The people's anti-Japanese sentiment of joining the army is so high!"
"That's right? In just three days, as many as 4ooo people joined the team of my 512th Brigade. Now the total strength of my 512th Brigade has recovered, and it's almost 7,000 people."
"If I want to tell me, our brigade commander is very capable. After a large military parade, my 512th Brigade has really made my 512th Brigade a star force that is watched nationwide. The joining of these 4,000 people is just the beginning. When the 512th Brigade has a few more victories in the future, it will not be a problem for our team to exceed 10,000 people!"
"Old Zhang, you are wrong. If our brigade commander and political commissar had not strictly screened the new troops this time, our 512th Brigade would have exceeded 10,000. You have seen that on the day the military parade ended, tens of thousands of ordinary people were clamoring to join us."
"Xiao Liu is right!"
"That's true. Anyway, the 512th Brigade's soaring into the sky is already the general trend, like a torrent, unstoppable!"
"Now our 512th Brigade is strong and rich. I have seen it so hard these days. The people who came to work hard in Guangdong have almost broken the threshold of our logistics department."
"Yes, I saw it too. Good guy, bags of white rice and white flour poured into our team like no money. If our chief hadn't resolutely implemented the policy of not taking the common people one by one, just the supplies of our 512 Brigade, then we would have to pass a division!"
The veterans said and laughed, and their words were filled with excitement.
Because they never thought that the 512 Brigade Exhibition has grown to its current level, it is famous throughout the country, and has reached the point where no one in the world knows you.

Brigade Department of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.
Brigade commander Ouyang, political commissar Zhao Gang, chief of staff Wang Yaqiao, deputy brigade commander Liu Tongluo;
Zhou Weiguo, leader of the 885th Regiment, and Kong Jie, deputy leader;
Jiang Daya, leader of the 886th Regiment, political commissar Zhang Pujing, and deputy leader Chen Feng;
Li Yunlong, the commander of the 887th Regiment, and Zhang Dabiao, the deputy commander of the New First Regiment, were transferred back to Li Yunlong's troops again);
The leader of the new 1st regiment, Long Dagu, and political commissar Cheng Mo;
Yang Zhihua, the commander of the artillery regiment, and Li Da, the deputy commander;
The captain of the Wolf Fang Brigade is Gao Dazhuang, and the captain of the Wolf Warrior Squadron, Long Xiaoyun;
So, a total of more than 30 people participated in the military meeting of the 512th Brigade.
The atmosphere in today's conference room was particularly warm, and everyone's face was filled with smiles and a hint of excitement.
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Brig Commander, what do you want to say at today's meeting? Just keep your words. Anyway, if you ask me to go east, we will never go west. If you ask me to beat a dog, I will never chase chickens!"
Suddenly, Kong Jie also said, "Old Li, you are good at saying this. Why didn't you explode the thorn today? Now that you become a colonel, your awareness has improved a lot! Hahaha."
"Go and go, you Kong Erlangzi are staying there, don't you see me talking to you?"
Li Yunlong retorted: "As for the colonel leader, our old Li is not interested. Are you envious of Kong Erlang? You kid is not bad now, and you are not an orthodox lieutenant colonel."
Jiang Daya said, "Old Li, Kong Jie asked you, why don't you explode the thorn today? Don't talk about it. You know, just a few days ago, you rolled up your sleeves, stared at our brigade commander and slapped the table, threatening to destroy Zeng Yangfu."
"hehe!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong also smiled embarrassedly, and his old face turned red with a rare hint.
"Okay, stop talking!"
Ouyang stopped their play in time and said, "It's a military conference now, let's talk about the serious business."
After Ouyang finished speaking, the entire conference room immediately became quiet.
With the rapid growth of the 512th Brigade, especially the successful conclusion of the military parade a few days ago, Ouyang's status in the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army rose even more and reached a peak.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current prestige of all three tied together by Zhao Gang, Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao, and Deputy Brigade Commander Liu Tongluo is less than half that of Ouyang.
Ouyang's words are in the 512th Brigade, which is the highest order!
Any of the arrogant soldiers and generals such as Li Yunlong, Jiang Daya, Zhou Weiguo, etc., who are not convinced by Ouyang's discipline now? They are all honest and honest under Ouyang's hands!
"I'll just talk first!"
Political Commissar Zhao Gang stood up and said, "This time we gather everyone together, there are four main problems. The first one is the training for recruits to join the army."
After pausing, he said: "As for the past three days, the reputation of my 512th Brigade has been completely opened in Guangzhou, Guangdong, and even the whole country. It can be said that it is at its peak. There are countless people who actively participate in my 512th Brigade. As of yesterday, the strength of my 512th Brigade has reached 7,156."
"Therefore, the training of the recruits in the subsequent training, each regiment and battalion must pay special attention to it, and take this as the thing my 512th Brigade wants!"
As soon as Zhao Gang finished speaking, Zhou Weiguo and others nodded in agreement and made a promise.
Seeing this, Ouyang also smiled with relief.
Zhou Weiguo, Jiang Daya, Li Yunlong, Yang Zhihua and others, who are not good at training soldiers? Ouyang is still very relieved about them.
"Now let's talk about the second question."
Zhao Gang continued: "Our headquarters received news yesterday that due to the achievements of our 512th Brigade in Guangzhou, the Japanese army in North China made the clearance of our Taihang Mountain Eighth Route Army a focus of attack. Therefore, the headquarter was urgently sent to ask our 512th Brigade to set off quickly, turn to the Taihang Mountains, and carry out anti-Japanese resistance."
Turning around Taihang Mountain?
go home?
For a moment, everyone's emotions ignited again!
Li Dashi said bluntly, "This is a good thing, don't you say it. When I think about going home, I think of Shanxi's mutton dumplings. Don't mention how delicious that guy is!"
Immediately, everyone present burst into laughter.
Although Guangzhou is so beautiful, it is not as good as the land in my hometown.
After a brief discussion, Ouyang decided that the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army would set off north in the 3rd and leave Guangzhou on November 18th.
"Then let's talk about the third question."
Zhao Gang's face turned right and said, "The third issue is the issue of deciding that we will go north and go home. The Battle of Wuhan has ended 5 days ago. The National Government has transferred all the supplies and equipment to the rear of Chongqing. Therefore, the Battle of Wuhan ended with the voluntary evacuation of **. Now the Japanese army has occupied the three towns of Wuhan, so the way we came is not feasible!"
As soon as the words came, everyone's expressions suddenly became solemn.
Chapter completed!
