Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

After hearing Wang Zhuo's words, Zeng Jiwen laughed out loud.

"Old Wang, you're wrong. This is our junior fellow student." After saying that, he introduced Zhou Weiguo to the two. When the two heard that Zhou Weiguo was a ninth-term student, their eyes lit up immediately and they greeted Zhou Weiguo enthusiastically.

At the same time, he did not forget to pull Xu Hu in.

After the few people exchanged greetings, Zeng Jiwen continued, "Weiguo, you have a few seniors who are currently arranging things in the local area. I will introduce them to you when they return."

After listening to this, Zhou Weiguo nodded repeatedly, indicating that he had been looking forward to seeing the others for a long time.

Afterwards, he asked the guards to take Zhou Weiguo and Xu Hu downstairs to rest and arrange work for them later.

Watching the two men leave, Zhou Xi turned to Zeng Jiwen and asked, "Old Zeng, what are you going to let our junior be responsible for?"

Wang Zhuo, who was standing by, agreed after hearing what Zhou Shi said. He said, "Yes, Zhou Weiguo was a member of the ninth term and had studied abroad in Delin. He was previously the commander of the 87th Division, which was ours. That was the German-equipped division."

"This degree is among the best in our Eighth Route Army."

After hearing what the two said, Zeng Jiwen said confidently, "Since I have let him come, there must be a place for him, and it will be suitable."

After saying that, he continued to say to the two people: "I plan to let him and Xu Hu take over the special operations brigade. The special operations brigade is currently a direct regimental unit. It just so happens that he studied special operations in Delin and also knows Japanese."

"In the entire special operations brigade, I think he is the most suitable person to take over Hu Di's position. Although the others have been trained over the years, I want to release them and transfer them to the army."

"As you know, we are about to expand and need a large number of military cadres at the grassroots level. We should take this opportunity to transfer them to the grassroots level to serve as company commanders or battalion commanders."

"I'll wait until he's familiar with the situation for a few months, then I'll transfer Hu Di out completely. Honestly, having Hu Di do special operations work all the time is a bit of a waste of his talent. I plan to have him take over the security and intelligence departments completely."

After hearing Zeng Jiwen's words, the two nodded. Indeed, Hu Di had been in charge of this area before. Ever since he was sent by Zeng Jiwen to manage the special forces, the intelligence and security work of the entire brigade has slowed down.

After the 108th Division was completely wiped out, Japanese intelligence personnel swarmed towards the base. At that time, a mistake was made, which resulted in the spies almost reaching the brigade headquarters. They were discovered by a special operations team guarding the brigade headquarters.

Hu Di is currently having to balance work on both sides and is extremely busy. He has already told Zeng Jiwen about the current problem many times. If this continues, Zeng Jiwen is afraid that Hu Di will get sick from overwork.

However, there is no suitable candidate at present. Many people in the headquarters and at home are in important positions, and Zeng Jiwen is not in a position to ask his family for help. It happened that the defense zone was expanded and Zhou Weiguo arrived again.

It is entirely possible to let Zhou Weiguo and Hu Di work together for a while. After Zhou Weiguo is familiar with the situation, Hu Di can hand over the special operations brigade to Zhou Weiguo, and his focus will be on the intelligence protection work of the entire 389th Brigade.

Two days later, Zeng Jiwen and Wang Zhuo took Zhou Weiguo and Xu Hu to a secret mountain base of the special operations brigade near Songjiazhuang.

When Zeng Jiwen and others just entered the outskirts of the special operations brigade’s base, they saw Hu Di running towards them from a distance.

In fact, it is no wonder that Hu Di is so anxious. Ever since he heard the brigade commander say two days ago that he would bring two people to him, one of whom is a top student proficient in special operations and has studied abroad, he immediately became interested.

After all, the special operations brigade cannot find anyone to take over at the moment. The brigade commander has said before that the brigade commanders under him will be transferred out to serve as regimental-level cadres if nothing unexpected happens.
