On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Deng Chenggong slept until 8 o'clock in the morning before getting up. When he opened the door, he found that the leaders of Hu Guangzong and other bases all wished him a happy New Year with a smile on their faces. It was not difficult to find out that they had been here for quite a while.

When he felt that he had suddenly lost the vigilance that special forces should have, Deng Chenggong also felt warm in his heart when he looked at these smiling subordinates. Just looking at these smiling faces, Deng Chenggong didn’t know how many of these people could wait until the spring was blooming after eight years of the War of Resistance. What’s more, the end of eight years does not mean that the war ends. If we look at the civil war, we are afraid that many people will die in this war.

Deng Chenggong, who seemed to realize that he had become a little sentimental, quickly squeezed out a smile and welcomed these subordinates into the room, took out the New Year's goods sent to him by the logistics department, and tasted them for the military and political officials who came to pay New Year's greetings.

After talking with the core backbones of these columns with a happy mood, Deng Chenggong decided to go to the grassroots level in the afternoon to greet the soldiers who were still on the front line during the New Year. From the first day he founded this unit, he should understand that his entire life in the future was inseparable from this unit. With these more than 30,000 militias, in a sense he had more than 30,000 relatives. Therefore, he should not feel lonely!

After giving himself such hints, Deng Chenggong took six elite special forces members to pay his respects to the commanders and fighters in the rear base for an early age. Then he went to the special forces members in the Flying Eagle Base not far from the base to send New Year's greetings. Compared with ordinary column militias, although their conditions are better, they enjoy several times the living allowance. However, during this Spring Festival reunion time, the Flying Eagle Base can only give home two indicators. For the Flying Eagle Team, which has more than 100 people, the indicators are undoubtedly pitiful.

Although he was unable to go home to reunite with his family, Deng Chenggong, who was the commander of the column and captain of the special forces team, was the first to express his condolences to the beginning of the new year, which still made these somewhat lost special forces members excited. In order to highlight their special forces team special forces, Deng Chenggong did not arrange other itineraries on the night of the first day of the New Year, but accompanied the special forces team members to enjoy a strong comradeship until they were drunk at the dining table.

This kind of stern wartime force, but privately like a brother's commander, made many special forces members who saw Deng Chenggong drunk, feel that there is a warm current in their hearts. Wu Zhongyuan, the squadron leader who served as Deng Chenggong's guard, knows Deng Chenggong better than others. In fact, he also thought about living with Deng Chenggong. If Wu Zhongyuan lost his parents, he at least had a pair of extremely healthy younger brothers and sisters who are living now.

But according to him, this commander, who was a few years older than him, was truly a lonely man and had never heard of Deng Chenggong's family background. He rarely learned about his life background from Deng Chenggong's mouth. Only those who lost their family members could understand this feeling.

If we want to repay Deng Chenggong's kindness with death, Wu Zhongyuan would undoubtedly be the first to stand up. Deng Chenggong not only let him avenge his family's grudges with his own hands. Even his brothers and sisters regarded him as if he had already left, but Deng Chenggong privately asked him not to call him commander, but to call him elder brother. Now, two younger brothers and sisters who are not often met now, every time he goes home to visit him, he will say that Deng Chenggong is still kissing them more than his elder brother.

Many times, Wu Zhongyuan is not a good person. When he saw Deng Chenggong who was drunk on the ground, he personally helped Deng Chenggong to his room to rest. Looking at his brothers who were concerned about his situation, Wu Zhongyuan couldn't help but say, "Didn't you always want to know where the captain is from? Today I will tell you what I know, just hope that this matter will not be promoted, because the captain doesn't like others to inquire about his family background.

You all know that I was the captain of the brigade and I served as his guard for a while before, but I rarely heard news about his family from him. Moreover, according to the scholar in Lijiazhuang, he came back from abroad. But I have never seen a young master who came back from abroad work hard like the captain. The column can have the situation today, which is mostly due to the captain's efforts.

You may not know that the column was a bandit unit incorporated by Yingzui Ridge. The current Lijiazhuang Detachment is the first militia unit of the militia column. From a few people, it has been developed to a regular unit of nearly 20,000 and a reserve unit of more than 20,000. These were all formed by the captain's hard work. But who do you know that the captain usually eats like us, and I have never even bought a decent piece of clothing when he sees him.

Usually when we go to the army, we just go to bed in a random place and continue to work the next day. If we can still enjoy different gifts every month, then he basically has no deposit. It is the gift that should belong to him. Many times, he is bought condolences to give to some poor people in the base area and poor families with orphans and widows. Who have you seen or even heard of such a captain and such commander before?

I don’t know what you think. Anyway, I only recognize the captain of the brigade in my life. As long as I can follow the captain, even if I die in the battlefield in the future, I will die on the road of charge with a smile. Because being able to fight with such a brigade is a blessing that I have cultivated in my life."

Wu Zhongyuan, who left these words, turned around and left them quickly. The special forces members standing not far away in front of him could easily discover that this squadron leader, who never complained about hardship and fatigue, and did not even frown when he said this, his eyes were said with tears in his eyes.

It is precisely because of this tonight that the Flying Eagle Brigade became the most loyal unit of Deng Chenggong, even after the end of the Liberation War, many militia officers in the column were converted into national defense forces. This special forces that only obey Deng Chenggong's orders have always been by his side.

Deng Chenggong, who woke up from a hangover the next morning, felt that the soldiers of the entire special forces brigade had a hint of fanaticism in their eyes when they looked at him, and did not think about why. Because, he felt that it might have been a gang with them last night, which made these special forces feel that he was also an ordinary member of flesh and blood, not a high-ranking column commander!

After having breakfast at the Flying Eagle Brigade, Deng Chenggong continued to visit the troops' itinerary and ran through the militia organizations of all sizes in the control area. The situation in the entire control area still satisfies him. Although several village-level militias relaxed their vigilance at this time, in Deng Chenggong's view, he still sent his commander's New Year's greetings, so that these criticized militias were repeatedly discovered in advance by the Japanese and contacted the large army, and gave these Japanese and Japanese who were attacking them inexplicably anti-sneak attacks.

When he returned to Yinlong Base, it was only three days before Xu Mingyuan got married. He, the master of marriage who was strongly requested by Xu Mingyuan and his wife, naturally could not wait until they got married. Moreover, this wedding, which was originally just for Xu Mingyuan, attracted the attention of the North China National Party garrison and government officials. They all sent specialists to contact the column and would send corresponding officials to attend the wedding at that time, which surprised Deng Chenggong very much.

What surprised him the most was that Li Hao, the secretary of the Xingtai People's Party branch who had not contacted him for a long time, sent someone to the column control area to deliver a letter, hoping to come and visit them at that time, and at the same time send the People's Party greetings to Xu Mingyuan and his wife. And according to the return of Deng Chenggong's intelligence personnel who invaded the People's Party organization, this matter seemed to be the opinions given by Li Hao after asking for instructions. In order to make friends with this militia column, which has gradually deepened its influence in the ground in North China.

It was originally just a wedding to gather the hearts of the people in the base area, but unexpectedly, it attracted such a monster. Even the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army and Yan Laoxi on the other side of the mountain sent representatives, which was really beyond Deng Chenggong's expectations.

If they came for Xu Mingyuan, the political director of the column, Deng Chenggong felt that it was more suitable for them to come with people with more than 30,000 guns from his column. With these people involved in the affairs of his column, I think something could happen. Fortunately, Deng Chenggong knew that although he only had the Flying Eagle Brigade in his commander.

But those people really thought that by winning over a few senior officials in the column, they could take down the troops they commanded. Deng Chenggong would definitely let them understand what it means to eat candle coats and shoot them back. Since they were willing to come and send money and things, how could Deng Chenggong refuse!

After returning to the base, Deng Chenggong's words relieved everyone.

'If they even bribe the people in the base area, then I don't have to be the commander of the column. I believe in my troops and the loyalty of their commanders at all levels. There is no need to worry that it will rain. My mother wants to get married. If they really think that others will live better than here, it would be more appropriate to let them leave earlier! As long as the grassroots militia will not leave, just one or two officers are afraid that they will want to sell for a high price, and others may not necessarily want it. Okay, spend more time preparing for the upcoming wedding, and let the rest go!'

Just when Deng Chenggong told the base commanders and fighters this, a familiar person who had not seen him for a while came to the command center of Hu Guangzong, far away in Yingzui Ridge, where the column was divided into bases. What he said to Hu Guangzong at this time was exactly what all the commanders and fighters at the rear base were worried about. This old commander of Hu Guangzong brought the promise from the Northeast Army headquarters far away in Peking. That is, if Hu Guangzong was willing to return to the establishment of the Northeast Army with his troops, the Northeast Army could give him the position of commander and apply for treatment at the lieutenant general level from the Nanjing government. This was really a great temptation for Hu Guangzong.

Just when Chief of Staff Liu Guang was worried that Hu Guangzong would really agree to the other party's conditions, what Hu Guangzong said made Liu Guang and even the old commander understand that this army formed by Deng Chenggong could not be taken away by anyone. Not to mention, he was asked to withdraw his rank and reorganize.
