In a row of camps, eight. The brigade commander of the 386th Brigade of the Lu Army, the future famous founding general, was pacing back and forth in the yellow house where Chen Weidong lived in high spirits. Along with him were the leaders of the Independent Regiment, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, the first battalion commander, Zhang Dabiao, and the guard, Monk Wei.
In fact, on the second day after Chen Weidong and the others attacked Heyuan County, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang submitted the situation and the report to the brigade headquarters in the name of the independent regiment.
However, the brigade commander, who had always been rigorous in his work, did not immediately approve the report submitted by the independent regiment.
Three days later, a comrade on the intelligence front who was hiding beside a high-ranking officer of the Japanese came back with insider information. VIII. Li Yunlong, the commander of the Independent Regiment of the Road Army, Chen Weidong, the platoon leader, and Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, joined forces to make a scene in the county town. They killed more than 40 high-ranking officers, including the commander of the county town garrison, Takada Ichiro. This shocked the commander of the Japanese army in North China.
In the intelligence report, the name of Chen Weidong was highlighted. He was listed as the main leader of the attack on the county town, including the killing of Takada Ichiro, the explosion of the arsenal, and the robbery of the tank. He was the leader of all the operations. On the contrary, Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei played a supporting role in front of him, responsible for some of the side drums.
The intelligence also showed that Toshida had ordered Shinozuka Yoshio, the commander stationed in northwestern Shanxi, to conduct an in-depth investigation into the incident and make Chen Weidong, Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei, and the others pay the corresponding price.
At the same time, they also announced the latest bounty price for the three of them. The bounty on Chen Weidong's head was 100,000 yuan. Li Yunlong's head on the neck, 100,000 dollars in the ocean; Chu Yunfei's head was worth 100,000 yuan. Anyone who provides useful information will be rewarded with 50,000 dollars in cash.
After receiving this information, not only the brigade commander, but even Mr. Peng of the 8th Route Army headquarters was shocked. Chen Weidong, this unknown kid, had become as famous as Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei, the elite commander of the Jinsui Army, overnight. His fame had even surpassed those two.
Therefore, the brigade commander decided to personally make a trip to Zhao Family Village.
Firstly, he personally delivered the commendation letter from the headquarters and the Second World War Area's Officer Yan to the Independent Regiment and the Independent Regiment's First Battalion, Third Company, and First Platoon, as well as Chen Weidong's personal commendation letter to Zhao Family Village.
Secondly, he also wanted to see with his own eyes whether this Chen Weidong was really a monkey with the 72 Transformations. He was able to escape unscathed after wreaking havoc in Heyuan County.
He had almost forgotten that this kid had gotten a tank from the arsenal of the devils in Heyuan County.
Speak of the devil.
While the brigade commander was talking about Chen Weidong with Li Yunlong, hurried footsteps and the sound of a report came from outside the house.
"Brigadier General, the platoon leader of the Independent Regiment's First Battalion, Third Company, First Platoon, Chen Weidong, reporting for duty!”
Chen Weidong had already barged into the house.
This was the first time he had seen the brigade commander. The brigade commander was tall, wearing a black leather jacket and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. His three-dimensional facial features had a knife-like determination. His sharp eyes looked like he was a man of the army.
The brigade commander was also sizing up Chen Weidong. He was strong and handsome, and there was a hint of intelligence between his brows. He was a dragon among men.
This was the brigade commander's evaluation of Chen Weidong for the first time.
After Chen Weidong entered the room and stood still, he first saluted the brigade commander, then turned to Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, and the others. He said,""Guild Leader, you're here too."
"Haha, Chen Weidong," Li Yunlong said with a laugh,"we're all here to study with the prince today. You and the brigade commander are the main characters."”
"Li Yunlong, you're everywhere. If you don't speak, no one will sell you off as a mute!”
The brigade commander glared at Li Yunlong and said to Chen Weidong,""Chen Weidong, were you the one who blew up the Japanese's arsenal and brought back a tank?”
Chen Weidong nodded and replied with confidence,""Yes, Brigadier General, but it's not just me. There's also our platoon leader, Lin Xiong.”
"Haha, as expected of a young hero.”The brigade commander laughed loudly and then changed the topic."I also heard that you rejected the invitation of Chu Yunfei from the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. You didn't even want to be a battalion commander.”
" Reporting to the brigade commander," Chen Weidong said." I'm the 4971st soldier of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment. I was, I am, and I will always be!"”
"Haha!"
Such an answer immediately made the brigade commander smile with pride. He punched Chen Weidong's chest and shouted,""Good kid, you have ambition. You are a soldier of my 386th Brigade! Someone, take out the commendation order from the headquarters for Chen Weidong.”
As he spoke, the guard beside him immediately took out a commendation order with a red stamp from his briefcase.
After the brigade commander received it, he read it out personally.
The general idea of the content was that the headquarters praised Chen Weidong's heroic feat of destroying the enemy's arsenal behind enemy lines. They wanted to mold him into a role model in the army and call on all the soldiers to learn from him, fight bravely against the enemy, and fight for the country and the freedom and independence of the nation.
Finally, the brigade commander cleared his throat and said,""Ahem, from now on, the independent regiment that Chen Weidong belongs to, the first battalion, third company, first platoon, will be expanded to a reinforced company directly under the regiment headquarters. Chen Weidong will be promoted to the position of company commander of the reinforced company.”
As soon as the brigade commander finished speaking, Li Yunlong handed over a bowl of hot tea and said with a smile,"Brigadier, come, come, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat.”
Then, someone said to Chen Weidong," Chen Weidong, you're not bad. You've been promoted three times in less than a month. You've jumped from a soldier in the kitchen to the first reinforced company commander of our Independent Regiment. You have to work harder in the future and kill more Japanese. That way, you'll be worthy of the brigade commander's nurturing of you, understand?”
" Yes, regiment commander," Chen Weidong said seriously." I will fight bravely and not let down the brigade commander and the regiment commander's training."”
At this moment, the brigade commander suddenly slapped his head and placed the teacup on the table.""Look at my memory. After Officer Yan of the Second World War Area learned of this news, he also sent you a commendation order. Guard, pass me the telegram.”
Then, the brigade commander cleared his throat again and read seriously,"" To Brigade 386, I heard that your unit cooperated with our 358th Regiment in the battle in Heyuan County the day before yesterday. They destroyed the Japanese's arsenal and killed the commander, Takada Ichiro. This heroic act of bravely killing the enemy has touched everyone in the Second World War Area. I hereby send a verbal commendation to the entire army. I hope that your unit will be cautious and continue to resist the enemy.”
At this point, the brigade commander stopped.
"Brigade Commander, there's nothing else besides this verbal commendation?" Li Yunlong asked after waiting for a long time.”
"Yeah, there's nothing else!" the brigade commander said.
Chen Weidong muttered,""This Yan Laoxi is indeed a stingy landlord. It's fine if he just wants to give a verbal reward, but he'll even give me two machine guns!”
