Behind Pingtuo Mountain, there is the camp of the 5th Battalion of the 1st Regiment.

"Brother Qiang, I almost caught up with you." Song Zicheng handed the two steamed buns in his hand to Xu Jingqiang.

Three or four consecutive days of high-intensity ideological work also allowed Song Zicheng to see Xu Jingqiang's bloodshot eyes.

After hollowing out the 33rd Division, they finally had a rare chance to rest. His eyes were full of admiration. After all, in their minds, there was basically nothing that the Taoist couldn't do, and this time, Xu Jingqiang was obviously stronger.

"Hmph, although I may not have a high level of education, my years of hard work in Pudong are nothing but a testament to my achievements." Xu Jingqiang spoke with some pride.

After all, because of this great event, the entire Tiger Brigade knew his name. Especially because of this battle alone, he was promoted to company commander, with more than a thousand soldiers under his command.

Naturally, this made him feel very proud, but Xu Jingqiang also had some troubles. At this time, he was holding a copy of the Three Character Classic and reading it seriously.

"Hurry up and teach me a few more words." Xu Jingqiang came close to Song Ziwen and urged him to speak.

Now he is a company commander after all, with more than a thousand men under his command. These are not gang brothers, and commanding operations is no joke.

Gang fighting on the front battlefield of the Tiger Brigade is like playing house.

Especially since this was a special instruction from the brigade commander, the cultural level of commanders and fighters at all levels must be improved. If it were someone else's words, Xu Jingqiang might have hesitated or refused, but since it was Brigade Commander Lin who said it, he had no choice but to learn it.

"Have you learned the ten words before?" Song Zicheng thought for a while and said.

"........."

It was just Xu Jingqiang's silence that made Song Zicheng slap his forehead involuntarily, his tone full of disbelief.

"You haven't even learned these ten simple words?" Song Ziwen was silent for a few seconds and couldn't help but speak.

"It's really difficult to learn to read. Can you teach me again..."

Xu Jingqiang spoke in a muffled voice, his tone filled with sadness.

Compared to learning to read and write, he would rather charge directly into the battlefield, but now that he has become the company commander and even the news has reached Brigade Lin, he has no choice but to go ahead.

Song Zicheng saw that Xu Jingqiang wanted to say more, so he waved his hand and changed the subject.

"Brother Qiang, it seems that a new team has come to Jincheng." Song Zicheng quickly found the best target to change the subject, and even his eyes were looking at the team entering the city with burning eyes.

As soon as Song Zicheng finished speaking, it was obvious that he had achieved his goal. Xu Jingqiang turned his head instantly and looked at the team entering Jincheng.

"Help me up, I can contribute to the Tiger Brigade and join in the great cause!" Xu Jingqiang stood up immediately. The size of the Brigade was about that of a regiment, and although the number of people was small, his heart was filled with excitement.

Zou Min was originally counting the roster, but after hearing Xu Jingqiang's excited voice, he couldn't help but look in the direction Xu Jingqiang was looking, and his pupils shrank slightly in an instant.

"The 33rd Division is just a special case. Don't let it affect internal harmony." Zou Min held down Xu Jingqiang who wanted to take action, and spoke in a serious tone.

Looking at the team entering Jincheng, Zou Min was really afraid that Xu Jingqiang would do something like this and directly empty his old troops.

The 714th Regiment had obviously experienced a great battle. The soldiers had tired eyes on their faces, their uniforms were covered with dirt, and they entered Jincheng in a long and orderly formation.

Looking at some familiar figures, Zou Min's heart trembled slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards the 714th Regiment.

The reason he left at the beginning was actually just to fight a better battle, so he would rather choose to become a soldier in the Tiger Brigade. But now when he met some old friends again, Zou Min thought about it seriously. Now that he has become the battalion commander, it is difficult to hide the news.

Just like Chu Yunfei, when Chu Yunfei comes back, the doubts in the hearts of many people in the 33rd Division will probably be resolved.

Zou Min's expression suddenly became serious, which was instantly caught by Xu Jingqiang. He couldn't help but poke Song Zicheng next to him and asked curiously:

"Who is the battalion commander going to see?"

"How do you know that the battalion commander is going to meet someone?" Song Zicheng was a little confused.

"I told you you're naive, but you still don't believe me. Look at the battalion commander's eyes. They're the look of someone you haven't seen for a long time. Of course, that old acquaintance could be a comrade-in-arms or an old lover. Anyway, there are a lot of stories involved."

Xu Jingqiang spoke with great certainty. He felt that the former possibility was more likely.

After all, this is a battlefield.

Song Zicheng, who was standing aside, suddenly had an admiring look in his eyes. To be honest, he had completely changed his opinion of Xu Jingqiang these past two days.

It is also acknowledged that Xu Jingqiang is the boss of a gang in Pudong. He is indeed a rough but meticulous person. He has a low level of education and may have done a lot of things.

"Hmph, your brother Qiang is your brother Qiang after all..." Xu Jingqiang said arrogantly, then took the Three Character Classic and began to read it seriously.

After just a few seconds of looking, he turned around and asked:

“Is this the same as…”

“This is close…”

"Then is this a photo?"

"This is far..."

"...Learning characters is so hard! I want to kill the devils!!!"

The faint wailing did not affect Zou Min, but he walked towards the troops.

The sun was scattered, and everyone followed some instructions to go to the resting place. At this time, the soldiers of the 714th Regiment had a rare moment of relaxation.

After all, this is the base of the Tiger Brigade, which gives them a rare sense of security.

Luo Wensheng stood halfway up the mountain, gazing at Jincheng. Although he had not been able to catch up with the Battle of Jincheng due to the bloody battles along the way, he was filled with joy that the Tiger Brigade had captured it.

A strategic location in the south that had been in the hands of the Japanese for more than ten years finally returned to their hands.

He knew very well how powerful the Kwantung Army was. You know, their 714th, 771st and 772nd Regiments encountered a brigade on their way north. After several struggles, they were able to escape and go to Jincheng for support.

But when they arrived, they had already received the clear text telegram.

Northern Expedition...Luo Wensheng couldn't help but mutter to himself. Now, after many twists and turns, he finally stood at the forefront of the Northern Expedition.

When he arrived at the location of the Tiger Guards Brigade, he turned his head and suddenly his focus was fixed in one direction. He saw a figure standing next to a stone, staring at him.

The militiaman's clothes were taken off, and the scar on his forehead was covered by the military cap. He looked less like a bandit, his eyes became sharper, and he seemed extremely resolute.

Luo Wensheng was stunned for a moment, looking at the person walking towards him with his arms open.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Captain." Luo Wensheng showed a bright smile on his face.

The comrades who were once friends in life and death, one is now the battalion commander of the Tiger Brigade, and the other is the committee member of the 714th Regiment. Compared with other titles, he is still accustomed to calling them captain.

In this era, it is extremely lucky to see each other again. The farewell in Yuancheng seems like yesterday, and the railway lines running through the mountains are still vivid in my mind.

But now, they have all changed in their own ways, moving forward on different paths, climbing towards the mountains, walking towards the flames.

"Let's go and have a good chat."

Zou Min put his arm around Luo Wensheng's shoulders and walked to the side.

Luo Wensheng waved his hand obediently, signaled to the guard, and followed obediently.

.........

...

Pingtuo Mountain, the garrison of the independent regiment.

Li Yunlong has been conducting simulations on the sand table he built.

After the battle at Changling Mountain, Li Yunlong felt that he had learned a lot, but when he wanted to repeat the battle, he felt he had no idea where to start.

Li Yunlong knew everything very well. He was just a rough man and it was really difficult for him to make tactical arrangements like Lin Dabing. Especially the regimental commanders of the Tiger Guard Brigade were also very smart when fighting. They were not comparable to the battalion commanders under him.

In addition, Lin Tianchen, who fights even more wildly than himself and can control the situation delicately, is like a tiger with two wings.

Just as Li Yunlong was looking at the map sand table in distress and thinking seriously, a voice came from outside the independent regiment.

"Old Li! Look who's here." Kong Jie's voice arrived before he even showed up.

Soon, several figures walked into the headquarters of the independent regiment.

"You're finally here." Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Tiesheng behind Kong Jie and Ding Wei, his expression stunned for a moment, and immediately greeted them with a curse, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, and subconsciously looked behind Zhang Tiesheng, but did not find the eyes of the person he was afraid of.

"Our three regiments marched separately," Zhang Tiesheng explained.

The Japanese had gone completely crazy in the later stages of the Jincheng battle. If the troops were not divided, none of the three regiments would be able to arrive. The Japanese were biting them like mad dogs, and their numbers were increasing instead of decreasing.

But after arriving in Jincheng, Zhang Tieshan was a little surprised that even the plane did not show up.

This was what he found strange. He had learned from the telegram that Jincheng had been recaptured, but the Japanese hadn't actually sent planes to bomb it. This was a bit unlike the Japanese style.

"Old Li, stop dithering. It's time to go out and take Tiesheng to report to Brigade Lin."

Ding Wei, who was standing by, also saw the map on the table. He saw that Li Yunlong had drawn many lines on the map, and he also understood that Li Yunlong had been in seclusion these days.

But Ding Wei's suggestion instantly made Li Yunlong unhappy.

"Now it's non-wartime. I won't see Lin Dadan without combat orders. He is not my direct superior, and sooner or later I will be on equal footing with him." Li Yunlong sat down and said arrogantly.

Now that he finally has time to rest, he has to make progress. Only by improving his command ability and accumulating military merits will he have the possibility of making further progress.

Li Yunlong's words made Kong Jie and Ding Wei look at each other and shake their heads.

"It will be difficult for you to be on par with Lin Lu." Kong Jie shook his head speechlessly. Only Li Yunlong dared to dream of such an unrealistic goal.

Seeing the confusion on Li Yunlong's face, Kong Jie couldn't help but explain again:

"In less than four days, the Tiger Guards Brigade has grown by over 15,000 men. Have you ever seen a brigade with over 30,000, or even close to 40,000? Furthermore, nearby troops from all over the country are still continuously gathering in Jincheng."

Kong Jie interrupted Li Yunlong's unrealistic fantasy. After all, after the Jincheng victory, the clear-code telegram seemed to have a siphon effect, madly absorbing the remnants of the troops and new recruits.

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt, exploding in Li Yunlong's mind.

"Nearly 40,000? Lin Dadan has dug up the secrets of the 33rd Division?" Li Yunlong suddenly thought of something. Although he had not gone out in the past few days, judging from the data, there was only the 33rd Division.

"Yes, there are only 600 people left in the 33rd Division... and they have all been stripped of their guns." Ding Wei nodded.

After receiving the definite answer, Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment. The army was close to 4, and it might even exceed 4 at any time. The difference between the two was huge.

You have to know that when we were fighting at Niangzi Pass with the Huben Brigade, there were only a few thousand people at that time. It has only been a short time, but they have already reached such a scale. Not only did the Northern Expedition not reduce the number of troops, but the number of troops increased with each battle!

For a moment, Li Yunlong felt under tremendous pressure. Facing someone who wanted to be on equal terms with him, he didn't know who to turn to for justice for such an unreasonable promotion.

But just a moment later, Li Yunlong immediately picked up his military cap and greeted others.

"What are you still standing there for? Let's go to the headquarters. I'm going to try to get some benefits from that stingy guy." Li Yunlong was helpless when he saw that things had come to this point, but it was obvious that he had not lost his fighting spirit.

He stepped out of the independent regiment and took the lead.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei couldn't help but shook their heads. They were not surprised that Li Yunlong did not lose his fighting spirit, but it was obvious that Li Yunlong had really chosen the wrong opponent.
