Chapter 44: Independent Regiment Political Commissar Zhao Gang
A group of ragged soldiers, about two hundred in number, were walking in the mountains.
Only half of the people carried guns , but they were divided into two groups, one leading the way and the other covering the rear.
"Is your school within the sphere of influence of the Eighth Route Army?" Li Xiongfei was a little surprised after finding out the answer: "So is your school a member of the Eighth Route Army?"
Chen Xiao smiled and shook his head: "I am not a member of the Eighth Route Army, but my students are all Eighth Route Army soldiers."
Are there members of the Eighth Route Army in the primary school? Li Xiongfei was puzzled.
Zhang Shicheng then thought of a question they had overlooked: "Mr. Chen, what school do you go to?
I think the way you kill the enemies is not something that an ordinary scholar can do. Even the veterans on the battlefield are not as skilled as you.
It's a pity for you to be a teacher. You should be a general!"
Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Saying that I can be a general is too flattering for me. There are many people stronger than me on the battlefield.
I can only shoot a gun, and I am not good at battlefield command.
Thank you, thank you!
As for my primary school, it was formerly called the Northwest Shanxi Scout School, which specialized in teaching scouts.
Now it has been renamed as Northwest Shanxi Scouting Agricultural Science School, which means it teaches both scouts and farming.
My teachings are rather mixed, I am sorry to embarrass you!"
Scout?
The scouts are familiar with them!
However, there is no school in this world that specializes in teaching scouts. In their understanding, the scouts of general troops are teams dedicated to reconnaissance, which are formed by selecting some capable soldiers from each main force.
But suddenly I realized that this is a military academy!
The principal of a military academy, although I have never heard of the name of this school, it cannot be compared with famous military academies such as the Baoding Military Academy, Yunnan Military Academy, and the Central Army School.
But the status of a principal of a military academy, no matter how bad it is, is not that bad. He is always better than these stupid soldiers. This was the mainstream idea of the Kuomintang army at that time.
Li Xiongfei and Zhang Shicheng quickly stopped and saluted Chen Xiao again, "Principal Chen, Li Xiongfei and Zhang Shicheng were impolite just now. Please forgive us!"
After all, military academy, military academy, no matter whether you have studied there or not, as long as you are a military academy instructor, you will have the status of a teacher in front of ordinary soldiers.
The two of them thought to themselves, no wonder Principal Chen’s shooting skills were so sharp just now, it turns out he is the principal of the military academy.
"Don't be so polite. This is a small school. It's not recognized by the government yet. It's a private school."
Chen Xiao smiled and returned the salute. This was the first time he returned a salute to someone.
"Where is the principal going? Although we are going back to our old unit, it is still dangerous for the principal to walk alone in this Japanese-controlled area. Why don't we send the principal off?
After we send the principal off, we will leave and go find our old unit."
Although they were very grateful to Chen Xiao for saving their lives, Li Xiongfei and Zhang Shicheng gave up the idea of following him after hearing that Chen Xiao was the principal of a military academy for Eighth Route Army soldiers .
However, there were also fifty or sixty people following Monk Wei, and they planned to follow Monk Wei wherever he went.
Most of these people had deep hatred for the Japanese. They saw that Monk Wei acted cleanly and efficiently, killing the enemies without any delay, so they thought that following him would give them many opportunities to kill the Japanese.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see what Li Xiongfei and Zhang Shicheng were thinking. Chen Xiao smiled without commenting. He was not a member of the Eighth Route Army and he did not have the authority to recruit people for the Eighth Route Army, so he did not have that intention.
"Okay! If you want to hurry, go ahead! I'll be waiting for someone here.
The food we found in the prisoner-of-war camp should be enough for you to walk for a while. As for the guns and ammunition, you can take half.
But the heavy machine guns have to be left behind. After all, when you return to the troops, the Central Army will have no shortage of guns and ammunition, and it will not be convenient for you to carry the heavy machine guns on the road.
But there is still a shortage of machine guns in my school."
Missing a fart!
When he fought against Yamamoto's special forces, he seized dozens of submachine guns alone. The firing rate was faster than that of a machine gun, but the range was a bit short. If the range exceeded 200m, no one knew where the bullets went.
He just wants heavy weapons, it's that simple.
Waiting for someone?
Who are you waiting for?
Li Xiongfei and the others were puzzled, but as for Monk Wei, he didn't care what Chen Xiao did!
Anyway, he was determined to follow Chen Xiao, and he would do whatever Chen Xiao asked him to do!
Let him wait for someone, then he will wait for someone; let him kill people, then he will kill people; he will do anything as long as he can defeat the Japanese!
"Okay, then Xiong Fei will accompany the principal, and we will head south when we get there."
Li Xiongfei and his men simply looked down on the Eighth Route Army, they were not heartless or ungrateful.
After all, a heartless, ungrateful and spineless person would have surrendered and become a traitor long ago. How could he stay in a prisoner-of-war camp and be picked out as a sparring partner in life and death?
Of course, it is impossible to leave Chen Xiao like this. At least he will wait until he reaches a safe place before leaving.
Chen Xiao smiled and did not refuse. It didn't take long for him to reach where he wanted to go, which was the only way from the headquarters to the independent regiment.
It has to be said that the independent regiment’s garrison location has changed. It is a little farther away from the original location, about fifty or sixty kilometers away from the headquarters.
He was waiting for someone, Zhao Gang, the new political commissar of the independent regiment.
As for Li Yunlong's future best partner, the top student at Yenching University, the scholar who was assigned to the Independent Regiment right after graduating from the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, and the sharpshooter who could shoot someone in the head with one shot from 500 meters away, Chen Xiao was still looking forward to meeting him.
According to his estimation, Zhao Gang should be arriving soon.
"Principal, someone is coming!" Li Xiongfei held up a telescope and looked at two horses galloping a few kilometers away.
Chen Xiao took the telescope and took a look. There were two men in gray military uniforms riding on the two galloping horses. They were definitely from the Eighth Route Army. They must be the people he was waiting for.
The person who came was very alert and saw them from a long distance. He slowed down and stopped at a distance.
"Monk, go ask if it's Zhao Gang, Political Commissar Zhao?
If so, just say I am Chen Xiao."
Chen Xiao originally planned to go there by himself, but Li Xiongfei, Zhang Shicheng and others would definitely follow him if he went there, so he had to let the monk go over to ask.
"yes!"
A monk's run is not much slower than a horse over short distances. When the two people on the opposite side saw someone coming, and there was only one person, they did not turn around and run away, but waited where they were.
After all, he was followed by a communicator from the headquarters, and those who could be communicators these days were all very capable people.
After all, once a person is sent out, his life and death depends on himself. If he is not capable enough and cannot be a communicator, he may be killed by others at any time.
For example, the monk in the original plot was killed by bandits while working as a communicator.
Therefore, whether it is Zhao Gang 's own marksmanship or the communicator's marksmanship and ability to kill the enemy with bare hands, it can give him the confidence to wait here for the person running towards him.
"Is that Political Commissar Zhao Gang?"
The monk did not run too close, but stopped just outside of his own and the other party's alert range and shouted loudly.
Zhao Gang looked at the other party in confusion. He was wearing the uniform of the Central Army, but in his hands were Japanese submachine guns and German-made submachine guns.
Who is this person? How does he know his name?
"I'm Zhao Gang. Are you from the friendly forces of the Central Army? Which unit?"
