Independent camp meeting room.

Wang Chengzhu, who was sitting at the top, looked around and asked, "I believe you must be curious as to why I suddenly called you here?"

Everyone nodded.

Wang Chengzhu said: "The boss just gave the order to the group leader to assemble our new group immediately."

Hearing this, Wang Shugen wondered: "Battal Commander, there is still nearly one month left before the three-month deadline. Why did the boss suddenly ask our new group to assemble at this time? Is he planning to hold the leader accountable?"

Wang Chengzhu said: "Probably not. What kind of person is the boss? How could he go back on his word?"

Hearing this, Wang Shugen let out a sigh of relief. He was a veteran of the new regiment and had been following Li Yunlong for several years. Naturally, he did not want Li Yunlong to become the director of a quilt factory.

Wang Chengzhu continued: "I just received news that the officer exchange group from the World War II zone will arrive at the Eighth Route Army headquarters in three days to conduct military exchanges."

"In addition, the Japanese army has recently implemented a comprehensive martial law. They are probably preparing for some big move."

"I guess the reason why the boss asked our new group to assemble urgently is related to these two things."

"Okay, no matter what the reason is, you should prepare. The 1st company, the baggage company and the supplementary company will stay at the station. The other companies will assemble immediately and follow me to the regiment headquarters to report."

"The meeting is dismissed!"

Although it was an emergency gathering, Wang Chengzhu had to leave a certain amount of troops behind to ensure the safety of the Wangjiacun base area.

"yes!"

Everyone agreed in a loud voice, and then stood up one after another, saluted Wang Chengzhu, and left each other.

…

Noon the next day.

Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao led their troops one after another to the vicinity of Liujiacun and met together.

Zhang Dabiao glanced at the team behind Shen Quan: "Old Shen, it's not bad. We have developed so many troops recently. There are almost 600 people, right?"

Shen Quan: "Lao Zhang, please stop being sarcastic. Who doesn't know that you have developed more than 1,000 people in one battalion."

Wang Huaibao echoed: "That's right, that's right, this guy Lao Zhang knows how to be sarcastic."

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Dabiao laughed: "The main thing is that the third company has developed well, otherwise, my first battalion will not be as good as your second and third battalions."

Shen Quan: "When Zhuzi comes, I'll see you playing harp again!"

Wang Huaibao: "That's right, that's right! Lao Zhang, just be arrogant in front of me and Lao Shen. When Zhu Zhu comes, I'll see how you can still be arrogant."

Zhang Dabiao: "We are mortals, how can we compare with that Zhuzhu Tai."

Having said this, Zhang Dabiao paused for a moment, then changed his voice and continued: "By the way, why hasn't Zhuzhu come yet? Didn't the regiment leader inform him?"

Shen Quan: “The independent battalion’s station is farthest from the regiment headquarters, and should still be on the way.”

Zhang Dabiao nodded and said: "A month ago, the strength of the independent battalion exceeded a thousand people. I heard that they captured the equipment of the 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment Rebels a few days ago.

I really don’t know how far the independent camp has developed during this time.”

Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao both nodded in deep agreement and said, "Yes, it's really exciting!"

Zhang Dabiao: "We will know when the time comes. Let's report to the regiment headquarters first."

Immediately, several people led the team towards the regiment headquarters.

After marching for a while, Zhang Dabiao and the others soon saw a team of more than 300 people training enthusiastically in the snow.

Zhang Dabiao asked curiously: "Huh? Did the Independence Battalion arrive one step ahead of us?"

Shen Quan: "That shouldn't be the case. Even if the independent battalion comes, training won't start right away, right?"

Wang Huaibao: "I think it is possible, otherwise how could the independent battalion's combat effectiveness be so terrifying?"

At this time, an Eighth Route Army soldier suddenly hurried over from the front.

He came to Zhang Dabiao and the others, saluted, and said: "Battle Commander Zhang, Camp Commander Shen, and Camp Commander Wang!"

"You are here just in time. The regiment leader has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me to the regiment headquarters quickly."

The three of them bowed in return, and Zhang Dabiao asked curiously: "Xiao Liu, who are these warriors training in the snow?"

Eighth Route Army soldier Xiao Liu glanced at the direction Zhang Dabiao was pointing, and explained with a smile: "Battle Commander Zhang, those soldiers are you talking about? They are soldiers of the Fourth Battalion."

Xiao Liu didn't say anything, but it was okay. When he mentioned Zhang Dabiao, he became even more confused: "Fourth Battalion? When did our New Regiment have a Fourth Battalion? Why didn't I know?"

Xiao Liu: "Oh, that's right, the fourth battalion was just formed by the regiment commander."

Zhang Dabiao and the others suddenly realized that the weapons and equipment that Li Yunlong, the regiment leader at that time, extorted from them at Lion Mountain were used to form this fourth battalion.

10 minutes later.

Independent Regiment Department.

Li Yunlong smiled and looked at Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao, and asked, "Have everyone brought them?"

"I brought them all." The three nodded in response.

Li Yunlong asked again: "Tell me, how many people have you developed in each battalion during this period."

Zhang Dabiao: "Back to the group leader, there are not many, just over 1,000 people."

Li Yunlong: "Good boy, yes, we have grown by nearly 400 people compared to last time."

After saying that, Li Yunlong looked at Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao again: "Where are you two?"

Chen Quan: "Return to the group leader, 633 people."

Wang Huaibao: "Return to the group leader, 645 people."

Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it's a lot more than last time."

Li Yunlong is indeed very satisfied. There are more than 1,000 people in the first battalion, plus nearly 1,300 people in the second and third battalions, that is 2,300 people. In addition, more than 300 people in the fourth battalion and dozens of troops directly under the regiment are included.

Not counting the independent battalion, the new regiment had nearly 2,700 people.

The last time the Independent Battalion reported, there were 1,200 people. Even if the development slows down this time, there will still be 1,500 or 600 people. Taken together, the number will exceed 4,200.

Although there is still a certain gap between the number of 5,000 people, there are still more than 20 days left.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong was full of confidence in his future.

At this time, a sentry suddenly hurried in. After saluting Li Yunlong, he reported: "Report to the head of the regiment, the independent battalion is coming!"

"Oh? Really?"

Li Yunlong was overjoyed: "You really are talking about Cao Cao. Cao Cao will be here soon. Let's go and see how Wang Chengzhu has developed the independent battalion after this period of time."

Immediately, Li Yunlong led Zhang Dabiao and the others out.

In the open space outside Liujia Village, Wang Chengzhu saw Li Yunlong and immediately rushed to greet him, stood up and saluted: "Captain!"

Li Yunlong nodded, and then looked behind Wang Chengzhu. There was a crowd of good guys. Although the strength of this independent battalion was not as large as the first, second, and third battalions combined, it was not much different.

Withdrawing his gaze, Li Yunlong looked at Wang Chengzhu in front of him again and asked: "Zhuzi, how many people did you bring this time?"

Wang Chengzhu: "Only 2,000 people will come..."
