Just as the soldiers from both sides were looking at each other in the base, a team was speeding up from the road in the center of the base. When the team riding horses stopped not far ahead of Chen Geng's troops, Chen Geng stared at the young man walking in front of him, carrying a star on his shoulder. If he expected it well, this person would be Deng Chenggong, the actual controller of the troops in front of him.

When he was looking at Deng Chenggong, he got the second regiment of the 386th Brigade, the brigade commander Chen Geng and the political commissar, Deng Chenggong quickly summoned several special forces members of the Flying Eagle Team and rode his horse to the base entrance.

Looking at this general of the Republic who came from a general, Deng Chenggong felt that the real person and the photos looked a little weaker. He thought that the current situation of the Eighth Route Army was naturally incomparable to the People's Liberation Army that founded the country later. It is normal for the generals in the army to appear thin and thin because of their living conditions and combat environment.

He walked up and smiled and said, "I have always known that the Eighth Route Army has a general whom we Chairman Jiang loves and hates. Chenggong has long wanted to see him. Today he finally saw the real person. Haha! Brigade Commander Chen, hello! I am Deng Chenggong, commander of the North China Militia Column."

Chen Geng was really a little amused when he heard the other party's evaluation. No one had ever said such words that were neither like praise nor criticism when he saw him for the first time. But from the other party's tone, he could not hear that the young general in front of him who he was also looking forward to seeing was a person with a somewhat straightforward personality. Otherwise, he would not have said what he had said before.

Chen Geng smiled and shook hands with the other party and said, "As the same, I really want to see who the person who pretends to be me, Chen Geng, is. Now when I see the real person, I feel that Commander Deng doesn't seem to have much similarities with me except for being younger than me!"

The two military generals who do not belong to the same party have a tone of intriguing when they first met, but they have to say that neither of them hides anything, and they are more concerned about their tempers.

After smiling at each other, Chen Geng introduced his political commissar and the two main commanders to Deng Chenggong. After Deng Chenggong did not forget to introduce several officers around him, Deng Chenggong asked those Eighth Route Army soldiers to arrange rest and the garrison place, he brought Chen Geng and Wang Xin to his base command center.

In the reception room of the command center, Deng Chenggong did not show who was the host and who was the guest. Everyone sat opposite him and savored the tea, as if they were looking forward to how to discuss the next topic.

When entering North China, several leaders of the People's Party headquarters just felt that this militia column had a high influence in the minds of the local people, and had some strength. While helping the Eighth Route Army in time, they had never thought about the intention of accepting or annexing the other party. Although this strategic meaning was not mentioned, how could Chen Geng, a senior military leader, not guess it!

But as he entered the Evil Wolf Valley, the so-called militia team with neatly equipped troops made him a brigade commander who led the regular army a little ashamed. Although he had no idea of ​​the opponent's combat ability, he could guess the opponent's strength only at first glance. In short, all the forces were afraid that the strength of this militia column was underestimated. Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army was the first to come to support, and at least this favor would still be remembered. Compared with other warlord forces who were watching the tiger fight, their future chances of joining the militia column would definitely be higher than others.

As the landlord, Deng Chenggong had long known that the Eighth Route Army would sooner or later enter North China. What he was now confused about was what kind of mentality he had to treat others. Although the other party resolutely insisted on advancing into North China when the militia column was surrounded, he resolutely insisted on advancing into North China to support them. However, while Deng Chenggong thanked him, he could also see the true intention behind it. It was just that some words that everyone knew were the same, and it was the same that he said it out loud.

On the first day of this era, Deng Chenggong knew that his troops would join the People's Party sooner or later in the future. However, Deng Chenggong was disgusted with the political struggles within the People's Party. Therefore, in his subconscious, he would not join the People's Party, nor would he participate in the political struggles of various parties. He only needed to protect the peace of the people in North China, and he could not control other external affairs and did not want to care about them.

In the end, Chen Geng couldn't help but say: "Commander Deng, as far as I know, your base should be in a period of heavy Japanese encirclement and suppression. But I think Commander Deng doesn't seem to be anxious about the situation outside, but instead he seems confident to accompany us to drink tea. If you don't mind, can Commander Deng tell me where your confidence comes from?"

yes!

From what they learned, the regular militia team of this militia column should be only 20,000 to 30,000. In such a large North China region, there are only a lot of troops stationed on each piece of land. As for the large number of grassroots militias below, in Chen Geng's opinion, fighting and blocking is OK, and it is probably not very effective to engage in a head-on battle.

Deng Chenggong smiled at this question: "Braft Commander Chen is so serious. The Japanese are coming here for a lot of momentum this time. To be honest, I, the commander, are still a little worried about the people in the base area. But I understand one thing, and it is unnecessary to worry about it any more. You can't just worry about it because of me, the Japanese will leave with kindness. Therefore, this big battle will still be fought sooner or later, but the time is not yet here.

I am not good at commanding major battles, so in response to the Japanese's second-way attack, I have sent two column officers who are good at fighting major battles to fight. As for me, I am good at fighting mobile wars, small-scale harassment and raiding wars. The reason why I sit here is waiting for the appearance of a fighter plane. As long as the time is ripe, I believe you can see it. I am not as calm as I am now!"

Really confessed!

Chen Geng laughed secretly and continued: "I believe Commander Deng should understand that our Eighth Route Army is here to attack the Japanese and support your war of resistance. I wonder if Commander Deng has any place we need help?"

Deng Chenggong smiled and said, "First of all, on behalf of the North China Militia Column, I would like to express my gratitude to the Eighth Route Army and the People's Party for coming to support from thousands of miles. In fact, even if you don't say it, I will be like you seeking help when encountering a crisis. I am not afraid of Brigade Commander Chen's joke. I seem to have many troops under my command, but there are too few officers who can stand alone.

In this regard, I believe that this problem should not exist in your Eighth Route Army. If Brigade Commander Chen doesn't mind, next time he needs help, I hope Brigade Commander Chen doesn't mind leading our militia column troops to fight a few battles with the Japanese. Of course, you can also ask me what you need during the battle. As long as you can meet your requirements, I will try my best to meet your requirements."

How could Deng Chenggong not want to take the initiative to come to his door to help?

As for handing over the troops to the other party to command, it was a bit risky. But Deng Chenggong knew very well that the organizational discipline of the militia columns is now mature. Unless the Eighth Route Army changes the existing military discipline, it will be difficult for them to integrate into the other party's management. Moreover, most of the militia teams in their own militia are locals. Even if they want to go with the other party, they have to depend on whether their family agrees!

Is it really generous or is the other party very ignorant in this regard?

When Chen Geng heard the other party's answer, he could not guess the true meaning for a while. Unfortunately, there was not much time left for him to continue inquiring. The intelligence department of the militia column had already received news that the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army had also entered Jiulong Mountain. He immediately asked Deng Chenggong how to arrange nearly 10,000 troops next.

It is not appropriate to invite nearly 10,000 troops to the Evil Wolf Base. Fortunately, Deng Chenggong was prepared in this regard and told the correspondent to ask the troops responsible for leading the way to welcome the troops of the 129th Division to the garrison of the former Xingtai Militia Corps, where not only has built permanent fortifications, but also material reserves and terrain are suitable for garrisoning like the 129th Division.

As for the original Xingtai militia regiment, it has been expanded into Xingtai militia brigade. They were now selecting and forming a column directly under the Marine Infantry Brigade with Deng Chenggong to cooperate in training in this base. Therefore, the base of the Xingtai militia regiment was just empty, and there was a lot of arms and supplies stored there, so people came to help from thousands of miles away. Of course, some blessing fees were indispensable. It happened that a lot of supplies were seized by the Japanese last time to fight the Japanese. Then, just leave it to the other party for handling!

With this consideration, Deng Chenggong discussed with Chen Geng and decided to rush to the militia garrison at the border between Xingtai and Taihang after dinner at the base. Chen Geng naturally had no objection to this. After following Deng Chenggong to the slightly luxurious cafeteria at the base, he really enjoyed a lunch that he thought was a bit luxurious.

But Deng Chenggong told him very casually that this kind of food is very common in their militia columns. As long as there is a combat mission, the troops will enjoy this kind of treatment. In Deng Chenggong's words, the emperor will not be short of hungry soldiers. If he could not even eat enough for the soldiers, how could he let the other party fight with his life?

After enjoying the lunch that almost made them over, the soldiers of the 386th Brigade 2 had left the Wolf Base with some reluctance. When they marched to the former Xingtai Militia Regiment, the militia regiment stationed here was responsible for garrisoning here. When they saw that the army was brought by the commander Deng Chenggong, they were very happy to let it go.

But he felt a little uncomfortable about giving up his garrison to the Eighth Route Army. Fortunately, Deng Chenggong explained and told these militiamen that they were here to help them fight the Japanese. The soldiers who had lived here for a long time reluctantly packed up their personal belongings and returned to the Wolf Base with Deng Chenggong later.
Chapter completed!
