"Please enlighten me, Chief!" Wang Ye listened attentively.

The chief of staff took the cigarette handed to him by Wang Ye, thought for a while before lighting it up, took a deep breath and said,

"The government was generous and gave a brigade of over 316 people, as well as artillery and cavalry. However, if I remember correctly, the th Brigade should be the unit under Yan Laoxi's command.

As long as we accept it, we will offend the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army if we do nothing else."

"Hey, it's no big deal. Old West Yan is hiding in western Shanxi and named his base Jingnanpo. If he dares to cause trouble for me, I can't kill him!"

"With your ability," the chief of staff laughed and scolded, "don't say anything that is not conducive to unity.

No matter what Yan Laoxi is like, he has always made contributions to the anti-Japanese war! "

"Let's talk about the stationing issue. You are very capable and can resist one or two divisions of the Japanese, but you can't resist three or five divisions.

Once the Japanese know the government's plan, I believe they will not miss such a good opportunity, and it is very likely that someone will cooperate with them.

Being too good is dangerous, you should know that.

If they don't give you the order to retreat after you've been assigned to the organization, you'll be considered a deserter if you leave, and you'll be wiped out by the devils if you don't leave. What can you do?"

Wang Ye touched his chin, thinking very fast in his mind. Soon he slapped his thigh and laughed,

"Commander, I have an idea for you to listen to. The government's order is for me to be the brigade commander, and I will select the other personnel and report to them.

You see, we can do this. Anyway, the independent brigade has already planned to go north to Yu County, and Ping County will be taken over by other brother troops.

The 316th Brigade is composed of other troops. I am just a figurehead. You will be in charge of the actual work under the guidance of a deputy brigade commander.

In this way, the independent brigade can jump out and continue to fight against the devils, and we may also get more things from the government.

The formation of the 316th Brigade, whether it is soldiers, weapons and ammunition, war horses, or logistical supplies, should be borne by the government. This is a huge income, don't waste it! "

After listening to Wang Ye's words, the chief of staff said, "Your method is feasible, but it does not solve the key problem."

Wang Ye smiled indifferently, "Commander, the Eighth Route Army is also under the leadership of the National Government. We also cooperate with the National Government in normal battles.

But when it comes to your own survival, you have to do what you have to do, right?"

The chief of staff's eyes lit up, "Yes, even if we accept the reorganization, the 316th Brigade will still be under the leadership of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

If the Japanese army approaches, we can retreat as long as we get the order from headquarters!"

Wang Ye added, "And our independent brigade can also give the devils a hard time on the periphery."

"Let's do it this way. You draft the document immediately, and I'll sign it and report it to the headquarters. Let the headquarters worry about whether it will work or not."

Wang Ye joked, "Commander, you are also the leader of the headquarters. It's not good to just pass the blame to your old friends, right?"

The chief of staff smoked comfortably, "I'm not at the headquarters. Besides, I'm just the deputy chief of staff. I can't care about so many things!"

It was already that evening when the boss saw Wang Ye's report.

"Come and take a look at Wang Ye's report. This method is not bad!"

After everyone read it, the political commissar emphasized, "When you call the government back, you must make sure that the 316th Brigade is included in the sequence of our Eighth Route Army, otherwise we will not agree."

The National Government was very happy when it saw the telegram from the Eighth Route Army. As long as they accepted the organization of this brigade, subsequent transfers would be much simpler.

Ten days passed in a flash. That morning, many people came to the gate of the isolation hospital. Zhao Gang, Wu Gang, Wang Su, Wang Dabao and others were waiting here.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the gate of the isolation hospital that had been closed for half a month slowly opened. The chief of staff and Wang Ye took the lead and walked out. Behind them, Wu Chengkai and Wu Zhen walked out with rosy faces.

"Brother!" Wang Su ran forward.

Wang Ye looked at Wang Su happily. He was indeed a family member. His younger sister must have been worried sick outside.

He stood there and stretched out his hands, intending to give a loving hug to his sister, with whom he depended on each other for everything.

Wang Su ran in front of Wang Ye and kicked Wang Ye three meters away. Before Wang Ye landed, Wang Su rushed forward again.

She grabbed Wang Ye by the collar and pulled him up, then yelled viciously,

"Who told you to go to the isolation hospital on your own initiative? Have you ever considered my feelings?"

Wang Ye looked at Wang Su, whose facial features were distorted, with a confused look on his face, not quite understanding why she was so angry.

Wang Su started to cry as she spoke, "There are only two of us at home. If anything happened to you, would you have the heart to let me live alone in this world?"

Wang Ye looked at Wang Su's tears, and his mood, which had just calmed down, was instantly disturbed. The battles over the past six months made him subconsciously ignore the fact that Wang Su was just a child under ten years old.

"Little sister, I'm sorry, I will pay more attention next time!"

"There won't be a next time. Remember this!" Wang Su roared, baring his white teeth.

"I promise there won't be a next time!"

Only then did Wang Su stop Wang Ye. No one expected that Wang Su was so powerful. Even such a strong man as the captain did not dare to fight back.

"Oh, you two siblings have such a great relationship!" The chief of staff had never seen Wang Ye being humiliated, so he praised in a good mood.

Wang Ye gave him a displeased look. This man was so unserious at his age. Humph, we will ignore him.

Zhao Gang saw that everyone who came out was in good health, so he pulled Wu Chengkai and Wu Fenglin and said,

"I am Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the independent brigade. On behalf of the independent brigade, I welcome you to join us!"

Wu Chengkai and Wu Fenglin smiled at each other. They understood what Zhao Gang meant.

The comrades who were exchanged back this time basically have to return to their respective posts to continue fighting.

Zhao Gang meant to let Wu Chengkai and Wu Fenglin stay in the independent brigade.

Wang Ye's stay in the isolation hospital during this period was not in vain. Among the more than 1800 people in the hospital, there were only 356 combat personnel.

Wang Ye has already talked to these 356 people, and they will join the independent brigade.

There are also 481 political workers and local staff members, and Wang Ye is also trying to win over these people.

The remaining 1000-plus people were all underground workers. Wang Ye wanted them, but the headquarters wouldn't give them to him.

The independent battalion took almost half of the people, so some had to be given to other troops, and the Yanzhou Social Department had other arrangements for them.

Wu Chengkai was the representative of the local staff, and Wu Fenglin was the representative of the combatants. Zhao Gang contacted them only after receiving Wang Ye's call.

"Hello, Political Commissar Zhao. I'm Wu Chengkai, and this is Wu Fenglin. I'm very grateful to the Independent Battalion for rescuing us from the devil's lair and treating our illnesses.

We are very proud to join the Independence Brigade family!"
