Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

When Zhang Ling heard this, he immediately became interested.

"Commander, commendation order, what commendation order?"

The division commander looked at him and then said cheerfully: "After research by the headquarters, it has been decided to award the 772nd Regiment the first-class collective merit."

"In view of your decisive performance in this battle, the headquarters has decided to award you a special merit award and promote you to the new commander of the 772nd Regiment."

ha?

Zhang Ling thought he had heard it wrong.

Leader of the 772nd Regiment?

Isn't this what you've always dreamed of?

He had previously planned to go to the headquarters and make trouble if the division headquarters did not give it to him.

Based on his contribution in this battle, it is not excessive for him to be appointed as a regiment commander.

But unexpectedly, the CEO of the headquarters directly gave me an order for promotion.

Sure, this time I can give an explanation for my contribution.

He was promoted directly from company commander to regiment commander, the level jump is really high.

Zhang Ling also said cheerfully: "Thank you, Boss, thank you, Division Commander and all the leaders."

At this time, Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang on the side also said happily: "Captain, congratulations."

Unexpectedly, his battalion commander actually became the commander of the 772nd Regiment.

Then the 772nd Regiment was saved.

At this time, Zhang Ling also followed Xu Erniu's previous suggestion and said directly: "Commander."

"Well, our 772nd Regiment has made a great contribution this time."

"I'm the new leader, and I have an unreasonable request."

Upon hearing this, the commander rolled his eyes at Zhang Ling and said, "Don't push your luck, kid."

"How dare I? But this matter concerns the life and death of our 772nd Regiment. The division commander has to listen to it."

After saying that, Zhang Ling also quickly toasted with a glass of wine.

It's true that even if the time-traveling male protagonist comes, we have to toast him.

The political commissar at the side also said cheerfully: "You kid, the great achievement of the 772nd Regiment this time is indeed mainly due to you kid."

"Since you are so capable, please tell the commander first, and then we will consider it accordingly."

Seeing the political commissar say this, Zhang Ling also said happily: "Thank you, political commissar."

"Actually, this matter is also related to the future development of our 772nd Regiment."

"I think our 772nd Regiment suffered heavy losses this time. Although we got our revenge, we only have 200 people left."

"The flame of revolution cannot be extinguished." Zhang Ling was heartbroken.

"If the revolutionary flame of the 772nd Regiment is extinguished here, how can I face Commander Cheng in the afterlife?"

"You kid, stop talking big here. If you have something to say, just say it. If you have nothing to say, just fart." The commander never stopped using his chopsticks.

The mutton was indeed delicious.

Zhang Ling also chuckled: "Commander, this is what happened. I have been thinking about this for a long time these past few days."

"I would like to ask you, the division commander, about the independent development rights of our 772nd Regiment."

"After all, the 772nd Regiment only has so many people now, and the most urgent task must be to recruit more soldiers and expand the force."

"If I can lead the 772nd Regiment to develop independently, I am confident that I can make a name for myself."

After hearing Zhang Ling’s words, the commander also lost his composure.

No matter how delicious the mutton is or how good the wine is, you can't make such a request.

"Zhang Ling, you are not asking for more. Are you planning to work on your own and leave the organization?"

Zhang Ling said quickly: "Division Commander, please listen to me first. Our 772nd Regiment wants to develop independently."

"It is also to expand the team, quickly develop the troops, and respond to the call of Yan'an."

"We suffered a lot of losses during the Japanese raid and encirclement this time."

"Division Commander, if you give me one year, I guarantee that I can directly develop the 772nd Regiment into a force of over people."

"If I can't do it, you can punish me by military law, Commander."

Hearing this, Li Dazhuang and Xu Erniu quickly followed suit: "Commendations, our entire regiment will unite closely around Commander Zhang."

"We will strive to carry forward the revolutionary flame of the 772nd Regiment. Please trust us, leaders."

Zhang Ling immediately followed up and said, "Please rest assured, Commander and all the other leaders."

"Although I am leading the 772nd Regiment to work alone, the 772nd Regiment is still affiliated with the Eighth Route Army."

"Our 772nd Regiment will always be a revolutionary team and will never do anything to betray the country and the organization."

"Please believe us, Commander and all the other leaders. As long as you allow us to develop independently, the 772nd Regiment will not let you down."

Zhang Ling almost said something like give the 772nd Regiment a chance and give everyone a miracle.

After hearing this, the division commander thought for a moment and looked at Brigade Commander Chen standing beside him.

Brigade Commander Chen said, "Division Commander, this matter is indeed serious."

"I'm afraid I need to ask the boss for instructions."

"If the boss has no objection, then it won't be too late to do it."

The commander nodded after hearing this and said, "Zhang Ling, I will report this matter to the boss."

"But I can't guarantee that the boss will agree. If the boss doesn't agree, then you should just listen to the organization's arrangements."

"As for personnel replenishment, you are indispensable." said the division commander.

Zhang Ling quickly picked up the wine glass: "Thank you, commander, thank you, leaders!"

After a meal, 200 kilograms of mutton were all eaten up.

There are also many vegetables.

This meal was a comfortable and satisfying one for the teachers and others.

Even though he was a high-ranking leader of the division, he actually only ate tofu with green onions on a daily basis and rarely got to eat meat.

There was no way. The Eighth Route Army was indeed short of supplies at that time.

If you say the Eighth Route Army was poor, that's not true.

Speaking of which, the Eighth Route Army was not poor.

The counterintuitive thing is that the Central Army was not poor, but the Eighth Route Army was very poor.

Actually.

Because after a series of transformations, the Eighth Route Army was no longer a warlord army, but a people's army.

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army was able to maintain unity among officers and soldiers.

The monthly food allowance is two yuan, so it is two yuan.

Everyone is treated the same, and no one is skimping.

Many times, the Eighth Route Army’s salaries were paid very quickly.

The reason why the food was not as good as that of the Central Army was actually because the Eighth Route Army was blockaded too severely, resulting in a severe shortage of supplies and no way out.

In this respect, it is not as good as the Central Army.

But in fact, as long as the situation permits, the Eighth Route Army will try its best to help improve the soldiers' food.

In this regard, the Central Army could not even catch up.

Of course, eating mutton like we did today at Zhang Ling’s place.

That really counts as the beginning of meat.

Wait until the commander and others leave.

Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang asked worriedly, "Captain, do you think the boss will agree to our request?"

"I don't know, but it's a good start after all."
