The victory of the battle at Lou 'er Ridge made Commander Shawk look at Bai Yihua and his Independent Regiment in a new light. At a military meeting above the regiment level, Commander Shawk took Bai Yihua's hand and introduced him to the officers present."This is the Little White Dragon who has been fighting against the Japanese for five years in the northeast. Once they occupied Louer Ridge, their independent regiment not only wiped out a squadron of the Japanese and more than 300 puppet soldiers of the Takeno Brigade, but also seized the logistics supplies of the Takeno Brigade. They seized a large number of weapons, equipment, and supplies for our advance army.”
Although Commander Xiao Ke's words contained a hint of praise, Bai Yihua could clearly feel that Commander Xiao must have a plan brewing in his heart. Sure enough, after that military meeting, Bai Yihua was called to the Advanced Army Command. In the war room of the headquarters, Commander Xiao pulled Bai Yihua in front of the map.""Little White Dragon, look, this is the location of our advance army, Mount Miao Feng. The area under our control is still very limited. Since I came to Pingxi with the advancing army, I have always had such an idea in my heart, that is, to build a large base area in the vast rural areas of Peiping and the surrounding areas of Peiping. The Pingxi Anti-Japanese Base had already begun to take shape, but it was still not consolidated. Our main task now is to consolidate the Pingxi Anti-Japanese Base Area. The next step was to create a new Pingbei base. After the advanced army's discussion, it was decided that your independent regiment would complete the mission of the Gong Pingxi Anti-Japanese Base. How was it? Do you have the confidence to complete the mission?"
Bai Yihua was very touched by Commander Shawk's trust. He said confidently,""I promise to complete the mission. I'll immediately rush back to discuss the specific plan with the political commissar and report to the headquarters.”
Commander Shawk held Bai Yihua's hand tightly and said,""I believe that your Independent Regiment will definitely complete the mission.”
After Bai Yihua returned to the regiment headquarters, he immediately held a military meeting for the independent regiment. Only Shan Haitao, Cai Shan, and Shi Shoutian attended the meeting. At the meeting. Bai Yihua first conveyed the mission given by Commander Shawk to them. Then, he opened the map and pointed to the area of Pingxi."Now, our Pingxi base area has begun to take shape. There are the advancing army led by Commander Xiao, the local armed forces, the democratic regime, and the mass organizations such as the Wanping County Government He County the County Brigade. This has laid a good foundation for our regiment to consolidate the Pingxi base. It won't be a problem for us to complete this mission. Right now, the main task of our Independent Regiment is to hold on to the Wanping Mountain area and use offense as defense. We'll go around in circles with the devils and find an advantageous opportunity to attack them ruthlessly.”
Shan Haitao took over Bai Yihua's words and said,"We need to win a few more battles and use our victories to announce to the citizens of Peiping and the people of the whole country that our Eighth Route Army is fighting around Peiping. We need to use our practical actions to declare to the National Government that our Eighth Route Army is truly fighting the devils and is definitely not a team that just goes around and doesn't attack.”
Cai Shan also came to the map, his fingers moving on the map."As long as we can win a few more battles in Pingxi, not only can we consolidate the Pingxi base area, but we can also go to Pingbei and establish the Pingbei Anti-Japanese Base Area as soon as possible. At that time, our Independent Regiment will be able to rely on the Pingbei Anti-Japanese Base Area. We will follow the Great Wall on the Yan Mountain Range and fight our way back to our hometown in the northeast, chasing the Japanese out of China. To realize our original dream."
Bai Yihua took over Cai Shan's words and said,"Now let's discuss the specific action plan."”
So the four of them stood in front of the map and talked about their thoughts one by one. From time to time, they would argue. Their voices were sometimes high and sometimes low, and there was even the sound of banging on the table. The guard standing outside the door did not know what was going on inside. He went in several times to see what was going on. However, once they saw him come in, their quarrel would come to an abrupt end. This was a military secret. When the guard walked in for the third time, Bai Yihua slammed the table.""Get out. Don't bring it in without my order. Don't you know we're in a meeting? If you dare to come in again, I'll shoot you."
Just like that, in the midst of the quarrels, a complete and thorough battle plan was formulated. Then, Bai Yihua held a meeting with all the officers above the company level. At this meeting, Bai Yihua announced the next step of the battle plan and action orders. The regimental headquarters would remain in Huo Village. The transfer would be carried out when the conditions were ripe. The first battalion was stationed at Banqiao and Datai to monitor the enemy at Mentougou. The 3rd Battalion was stationed at Yanhe City and Qingbai Pass to monitor the enemies in Kangzhuang and Nankou. The guards were stationed with the regiment. The medical team and the supply department were stationed at the flood valley not far from the regiment headquarters. Bai Yihua emphasized in the order that if each department encountered the enemy, they should immediately report to the regiment headquarters, and if possible, report to the Wanping County government in time.
For the convenience of action, Bai Yigong also made corresponding adjustments in the cadre. He transferred Hu Zi to the guard company as the company commander, also to keep Hu Zi by his side. At this time, Old Six requested to be transferred to the guard company. Bai Yihua said to him,"You are now a company commander. If you join the guard company, you might only be a soldier.”
"I don't know if I'll suffer a loss or not," replied Sixth Brother. I joined the security company to learn some real skills from Hu Zi. As for being an official, without this ability, no matter how high the official position was, he would still lose his life. I don't care about these false reputations."
Bai Yihua and Shan Haitao discussed and decided to let Sixth Brother be Hu Zi's assistant. Firstly, he could help Hu Zi lead the troops and free up Hu Zi's energy to do other work. Secondly, he wanted Sixth Brother to learn some skills and fulfill his wish. Third, the company commander of the original guard company had a place to be arranged, so he could be the company commander of Sixth Brother's company.
Speaking of the guard company, when he first reported this to the commander, Shan Haitao was still a little worried."Commander Xiao doesn't even have a company of guards. Our regiment has one company of guards.”
Bai Yihua waved his hand and said,"Don't worry, Commander Xiao won't care about this." Besides, the guard company was just a name. In reality, he was a combat unit. Look, there's a reconnaissance platoon in the guard company. Is that logical? We're just doing it for the sake of our work. What they were called was not important. What was important was that they had to have strong combat abilities.”
As expected, when Commander Shawk signed their report, he did not notice the name of the establishment at all. He only paid more attention to the fact that the Independent Regiment did not have a second battalion."Little White Dragon, when will your second battalion be built? This is what I care about the most. I hope that your independent regiment will be able to build up the second battalion within half a year and make the independent regiment a complete 3 - 3 system.”
It could be said that this division was the first major division since Bai Yihua had established his team, and it was in several places. When Cai Shan and Shi Shoutian parted ways with Bai Yihua and the others, they expressed their concerns to Bai Yihua. They were worried about the safety of the regiment headquarters because they were in a dilemma. The regiment headquarters only had one company of soldiers. Bai Yihua smiled and said,"With you guys protecting me on the outside, what else do you have to worry about?" The more victories you win, the safer we will be. You should understand this."
Bai Yihua had been looking for a chance to strike at the encampment. Almost every day, he would send Hu Zi or Sixth Brother out to understand the situation.
That evening, Hu Zi rushed back from outside, travel-worn. The moment he entered the house, he did not even bother to wipe the sweat off his face. He shouted at Bai Yihua,"Guild Leader, there's a situation." Then, he scooped up a ladle of water and drank it.
Bai Yihua, who was looking down at the map, asked anxiously,"What's going on?"
