After graduating from Huangpu, he rose to prominence as a regiment leader.

"Don't scare me! Can we build an airport in our area? Where will the brigade commander get the planes and tanks?" A cadre swallowed and said.

Granted, having armored units and aircraft is every military unit's dream, but they also need to consider the practicalities.

Even the Second War Zone Command might not have tanks and planes, so how could their independent brigade get them?

"Then I don't know. Anyway, I took advantage of the time I just got back to walk around the base and found that there was an area where they were tinkering with something... It seems to be called... a hydroelectric power plant!"

The fourth company commander told everyone about his experiences in vivid detail.

"And I heard that our independent brigade will select intellectuals and related talented soldiers to form a military industry department. The brigade commander will train this group of people and let them develop weapons and equipment."

Originally, everyone was still wondering how to realize things like "power plant" and "military industry department", but when they heard that it was the brigade commander who gave the order personally, they immediately no longer had any questions.

As long as the host takes care of everything, there will generally be no major problems.

Just like the last railway battle in Wanjia Town, a group of soldiers who had only mined mines and blew up mountains were able to blow up a train directly, and they could even accurately control the time period of the bombing.

A group of soldiers who used to mine and blast mountains suddenly became blasting experts? Who would believe this?

Only in their independent brigade is such a thing commonplace.

In short, when they heard that it was the brigade commander who gave the order personally, everyone stopped discussing the matter and immediately changed the subject.

So the conversation got back to normal.

The second company commander perked up: "Old Huang, tell me seriously, how many troops did you bring back this time?"

As the second company captain spoke, the rest of the people also perked up!

"Not many! My Fourth Company went to the county town this time, and the recruited troops plus the non-combat organizations total only a few thousand people." The Fourth Company Commander spoke slowly.

"Not much?"

"'Only' a few thousand men?"

"You, the fourth company commander, have really transformed yourself. After being a daughter-in-law for many years, you have finally become a mother-in-law!" The second company commander smacked his lips and said.

"If you don't speak, people might think you are the leader of some group!"

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present burst into laughter.

Amid all the jokes and teasing, the atmosphere of the whole scene became more and more harmonious.

......

Independent brigade operations conference room.

At this time, all the staff and cadres of the independent brigade gathered together!

Among them, the battalion commanders who rushed back were the most excited. They were the battalion commanders of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Battalions of the 359th Regiment.

In addition, there are the battalion commanders of other main battalions and other cadres directly under the brigade!

For example, Wang Chengzhu, Sun Debiao, Zhou Weiguo and others also took their seats at this time.

"Hey everyone, since Quartermaster General Wang hasn't arrived yet, why don't we introduce ourselves and show off our financial resources first?" Battalion Commander Li Liansheng suggested, seeing that everyone was there.

God knows how long he has been preparing for this moment.

His battalion had been trying its best to expand madly, and naturally they were waiting for this moment!

The second battalion commander Wang Zhongsheng started to make a noise: "Captain Li, who doesn't know that your first battalion came prepared? I won't compete with you!"

"Tsk!" Li Liansheng curled his lips, "How boring! Just pretend I didn't say anything!"

Then these battalion commanders started to make a commotion again!

At the side, Sun Debiao, the commander of the cavalry battalion, looked at the happy faces of the commanders and asked curiously, "I say, did you find gold while working outside? Why do you keep smiling like that and can't even get off the bed?"

"The rest of the regular troops have already returned to their bases. Why are you taking so long to come back? What's so good about that?"

In response to Sun Debiao's words, Li Liansheng just chuckled and did not directly answer the whole question.

He even looked left and right to see if everyone had arrived.

After a week of observation, Li Liansheng immediately asked, "Where is Captain Yang? Where is Captain Yang?"

"And Adjutant Leng, has Adjutant Leng not arrived yet?"

"And the monk that Captain Zhou saved, I saw him once. Isn't that monk here too?"

As he asked, several other battalion commanders who had returned to their posts also noticed that there were still people who had not arrived!

You have to know that these battalion-level cadres present were basically soldiers under Yang Song before.

Yang Song never misses such occasions, so why is he late?

There is also Adjutant Leng. Adjutant Leng is the brigade commander's true confidant. Although the Sharp Gun Company is organized at company level, they are affiliated with the brigade commander after all. In terms of status, they are definitely not lower than the battalion-level cadres like them!

It’s a bit strange that these people didn’t appear here!

"Could it be that the brigade commander took them to have special treatment?" Li Liansheng suddenly asked.

Everyone expressed their agreement.

At this time, Zhou Weiguo spoke up: "Don't guess blindly! The brigade commander has already given them an important order!"

"Captain Yang is leading a battalion of troops and an artillery company to Ping An City!"

"Safe City?"

"Safe City?"

Everyone shouted out subconsciously!

This Ping'an City is not an ordinary stronghold, it is a transportation fortress heavily guarded by the Japanese!

And everyone present here knows how much money a county town has!

Such a good thing was actually taken advantage of by Captain Yang?

Immediately, these battalion commanders became eager to try.

"Isn't this too unfair, sir?"

“This is Ping’an County!”

"We haven't even returned to our base yet, and this piece of fat meat has been snatched away by someone else!"

"I just returned from a county with my troops. It won't be a problem for me to capture another Ping'an city!"

"The brigade commander is biased. Our fourth battalion should be the one to take the lead!"

Looking at the eager looks on the faces of these returning battalion commanders, Sun Debiao could not help but frown.

He felt that these battalion commanders who had returned to their posts late seemed a little too excited.

The battalion led by Captain Yang Song was a battalion established after a large-scale expansion, while these battalions that returned late were newly established battalions.

The family had a weak foundation and little assets, so it was basically built from scratch.

Why do these people look so confident and don't take a Japanese county town seriously?

Thinking of this, Sun Debiao kindly reminded them, "You came back late, and you may not know that the devils in the entire northwest of Shanxi have started a new round of major actions!"

"The third major sweep has been launched!"

After saying this, Sun Debiao thought that these battalion commanders would be shocked and look at him in surprise.

But the next second!

The eyes of these battalion commanders were shining, like wolves entering a flock of sheep.

If Sun Debiao heard correctly, he even heard the sound of someone swallowing saliva!
