Chapter 554: The 129th division is fully active
385th Brigade, 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
Brigade commander Chen Xilian (founding general), political commissar Xie Fuzhi (founding general), deputy brigade commander Wang Naigui (founding major general), chief of staff Fan Chaoli (founding lieutenant general), and commanders of each regiment under his jurisdiction. Except for some people who are far away, half of the regiment-level commanders and fighters who met today came to participate in the combat meeting.
The focus of the meeting is consistent with Ouyang's 512th Brigade.
All are for the upcoming counterattack in North China!
"Brig Commander, our headquarters has really played a ruthless game this time!"
"Yes, my 385th Brigade is different from the past today, and it is enough to have a tough battle with the Japanese!"
"You two are very light-hearted. You don't feel bad when you stand and speak. Our regiment has just arrived in the enemy's backbone in Hebei for a few days. It hasn't been a few times. It's not like you all are rich!"
"Old Zhang is right. Our regiment is not in good condition. The number of soldiers has increased a lot, but the weapons and ammunition are still very scarce. If we fight with the Japanese army to the death, our regiment will definitely suffer a loss!"
"You're right!"
Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the 385th Brigade was formed. A few months ago, the 385th Brigade broke up and divided the main forces, and most of the main forces were all heading behind the enemy.
Even Wang Hongkun, the first brigade commander of the 385th Brigade, left the 385th Brigade and served as deputy commander of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region.
The development status of the 385th Brigade departments is also very different.
Some groups are getting stronger and stronger as they fight, and their territory is getting bigger and bigger;
However, the development of some groups is not satisfactory and they are still often facing the problem of lack of supplies, ammunition, medicines, etc.
Although the development of each department was unbalanced, everyone's development momentum was excellent. But suddenly I learned that it was necessary to fight a big battle covering half of North China, which really caught everyone off guard.
It is also natural for everyone to be surprised!
Even these founding generals are no exception!
A great man is also a human being!
"snort!"
Brigade Commander Chen Xilian said coldly: "This time I am ugly, this time. This battle is a battle dispatched by all the departments of our Eighth Route Army. It is a joint decision between the headquarters and Yan'an.
Therefore, no matter what difficulties each department encounters, it must overcome them. If there are conditions, it can also create conditions without conditions."
Deputy Brigade Commander Wang Naigui agreed, "Brig Commander, don't worry. Even if we have all the bullets and bite them with our teeth, we will definitely be able to bite the Japanese to death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, other commanders and soldiers of the 385th Brigade present also promised.
The headquarters and Yan'an Command have both flags raised. Even if some people are unwilling to do so, no one dares to refuse.
In a word, this battle is decided!

386th Brigade, 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army
Brigade commander Chen Geng (founding general), deputy brigade commander Xu Shiyou (founding general), political training department director Wang Xinting (founding general), chief of staff Zhou Xihan (founding general), and other main regiment leaders were mostly present.
Brigade Commander Chen Gengyan said: "I won't say much more. This battle is the first such a large-scale battle since its establishment. If anyone gets rid of his legs, even if I spare you, the headquarters and Yan'an will not spare you.
In a word, this battle must bring out the momentum of our 386th Brigade, the iron-blooded style of our Eighth Route Army, and beat him hard~Damn it!”
"Aoah!"
Everyone present responded loudly.
"Brig Commander, look at what you said, what can we do to be afraid of us!"
"That's right, we can't always watch the 512th Brigade eat delicious food and drink spicy food. No matter what we say this time, we should be proud of!"
"Hehe, don't fight with me this time, our team must play the main attack!"
"Why! Why are your team playing the main attacker? Our team is not vegetarian!"
"You two will just pull you down. Just the two of you group together are not our group's opponents. Scream, don't stare at me. It's a mule or a horse. Let's pull it out!"
Hearing the words of the crowd, the brigade commander Chen Geng opened his eyes angrily and pretended to be angry at everyone, "You guys, don't even yell at me, you're so happy now, don't go to the battlefield, just embarrass me, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!"
Deputy Brigade Commander Xu Shiyou also laughed and echoed: "Look at you, this battle has not started yet, and his tails are rising one by one."
"Hahaha!"
At that moment, everyone present burst into laughter.
Although they kept the words of the brigade commander and the deputy brigade commander in their hearts, they still didn't let it go. They were all doing their own things and were full of personality.
Compared with the 385th Brigade, the commanders and soldiers of the 386th Brigade are obviously more aggressive than war!
At the same time, compared with the development of the 385th Brigade, the development of the 386th Brigade is obviously much better, and its results are much more exciting.
In history, the 386th Brigade has always been the strongest brigade of the 129th Division, and it can even be said to be the most capable brigade of the entire Eighth Route Army.
Carlson, the military officer of the US Embassy, once praised the 386th Brigade as "the best brigade in China."
Japan and China specifically put forward the slogan of "specializing the 386th Brigade".
Most of the plots of the TV series "Bright Sword" are also based on the 386th Brigade. One of Li Yunlong's main prototypes is the commander of the 386th Brigade.
Interestingly, as the 386th Brigade of the Heroes, it has two very strange "nicknames".
——Three sons and Yiro;
——Sizi opens a store.
This is because the main leaders of the 386th Brigade were a bit "unregulated", so the troops also had nicknames after being "unlucky".
The commander of the 386th Brigade, General Chen Geng, had a leg that "saves Chiang Kai-shek's life", but was penetrated by a bullet on the battlefield. Although he was not disabled in the end, his legs were still not as flexible as before. So Chen Geng got a nickname - "Crip Man".
General Wang Xinting, the political commissar and director of the political department of the 386 Brigade, is highly myopic. If you don’t have glasses, you can basically see nothing. So in order to support the team, Chen Geng, the "lame" called Wang Xinting a nickname - "Blind".
The Chief of Staff of the 386th Brigade and Lieutenant General Zhou Xihan are tall and thin, which left a deep impression on **. Since the brigade commander and political commissar both have nicknames, Zhou Xihan, the Chief of Staff, cannot be avoided and is known as "slim man".
The former deputy brigade commander of the 386th Brigade, General Chen Zaidao, was brave and tenacious when fighting wars and specialized in tough battles. Marshal Chen Yi called it "the courage of Zaidao". Because he was good at fighting tough battles and dared to fight desperately, he was called "Deathly Saburo".
The leader of the 386th Brigade's strongest combat effectiveness is Lieutenant General Wang Jinshan. Many of Li Yunlong's stories in "Bright Sword" are based on Wang Jinshan. He destroyed the Japanese army's "Battlefield Viewing Team". Because he has a rebellious personality, he is afraid of life and death and does not follow the rules of the normal, so he is called a "madman".
Therefore, the 386th Brigade was the commander of the "Crip" brigade, the political commissar of the "Blind" , the chief of staff of the "Skinny" , the deputy commander of the "Fast Saburo", and the leader of the "Crazy" regiment gathered together.
Therefore, the 386th Brigade is also known as "Sanzi Yiro" and "Sizi Opening a Store".
"alright!"
Finally, brigade commander Chen Geng concluded: "Don't be smiling, the war is coming, I only have one requirement for you, don't consider the issue of saving ammunition, and make it so hard for me. As long as you can eliminate more Japanese devils, you will be wiped out, and that's worth it!"
"Yes, brigade commander!" Everyone answered loudly.
Chapter completed!
