"Giddyup!"
"Giddyup!"
Because the route to the Eighth Route Army headquarters was mostly mountainous, Meng Liang did not bring a tricycle. He let Wu Song Lin bring a cavalry company and follow him to Great Summer Bay.
Hundreds of warhorses passed by, stirring up the yellow soil. Ding Wei and Meng Liang rode side by side on their warhorses." Brother Meng, your riding skills are not bad. You know how to fire cannons, ride archers, and drive tanks. I want to know what you don't know."”
"I don't think I know how to fly a plane yet, but I've collected some information now and am preparing to learn by myself.”
"Self-taught flying? If our Eighth Route Army has planes in the future, you might even be able to become the commander of the Air Force.”
"Hahaha…"
When they arrived at the Great Summer Bay, a staff member from the headquarters immediately came to welcome them.
"It must be Commander Ding and Commander Meng. The boss has been waiting inside for a long time.”
The two of them walked into the war room one after the other. They saw a mighty and domineering middle-aged man in a very simple gray military uniform. When he saw the two of them, he immediately smiled.
"Reporting to Old Chief. The commander of the 28th Regiment, Ding Wei, arrived.”
"Reporting to the deputy commander, the new regiment commander Meng Liang has arrived.”
"Alright, the two of you are capable generals of our Eighth Route Army.”
"I didn't call you here for anything.”
"The 386th Brigade has won a great battle. Thanks to your new regiment, we are going to expand into two regiments soon. We are currently lacking in officers.”
"Yes." Ding Wei's face was bitter. He was the commander of the main force, but now he had to lead new soldiers.
"I say, Ding Wei, don't look so depressed. Other than the recruits in your regiment, the weapons and equipment are all 38s, Type 92 heavy machine guns, and grenade launchers. These are all the assets of the 4th Brigade that the new regiment seized.”
"Alright, then Old Chief. I'll take my leave first."
As he spoke, Ding Wei patted Meng Liang's shoulder." Brother Meng, let's meet again when we have time.”
"Alright."
Meng Liang watched him leave and was brought to a table by the deputy commander-in-chief.
Soon, the Left Chief of Staff and Division Commander Liu arrived.
"Little Meng, you haven't joined our 8th Route Army for long, but your performance is outstanding enough. With your achievements, it's not difficult to give you the position of regiment commander.”
"Now that Li Yun Long has made a mistake, you will temporarily take over the new regiment. I would like to ask you about your future plans.”
Division Commander Liu glanced at the president and met Meng Liang's gaze." We've discussed this and decided to give you two choices.”
"First, I'll let you be the commander of the 8th Route Army.”
"Second, I will let you stay in the new regiment and form your own armored mechanized unit. I studied with the Russians in the north and know about their steel flood. Our Eighth Route Army is not well-equipped, but the mechanized units under your command are all created by yourself. We can give you free space to play. As for the time, we will temporarily set it at three months. What do you think?”
Meng Liang nodded seriously." I choose 2. Commander, our army lacks mechanized units. Even the only mechanized unit on the national army's side was completely wiped out during the Battle of Shanghai.”
"In fact, when we were fighting head-on with the Japanese's armored forces on the battlefield, they were not at a disadvantage. The only thing they lacked was an air defense unit, so I formed an air defense company.”
"If possible, I want to gain a certain degree of autonomy within three months.”
"I won't hand over the supplies, and the soldiers will remain. I will decide on the appointment of some commanders myself.”
"Sure, but we have to assign you some political workers. Your new regiment has recently recruited too many puppet troops. If you don't manage them well, there will be trouble.”
"No problem. I will definitely work well with them.”
"Alright, then we don't have any problems here. In the next few months, the new regiment won't have any battle orders.”
"Yes."
Meng Liang stood up and saluted them. Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and said," Boss, your high-power radio station is on 24 hours a day. The frequency is a little too high. The Japanese have close cooperation with foreign countries. It's very likely that they'll be monitoring your radio station. You should pay more attention to your safety."”
"I understand. Thank you for your concern.”The boss waved his hand in satisfaction." Go on, go on. I'll wait for the good news from your new regiment."”
"Yes."
Meng Liang saluted again and left the command room in large strides.
