Chapter 430 Gu Changfeng's Plan
The next day, under the watchful eyes of thousands of people in Gaojia Town and the battalion commanders of the independent regiment, Gu Changfeng received the appointment letter from the national government.
There was nothing special about it. Gu Changfeng simply signed his name, and then while reporter Xiao was taking pictures, the whole thing ended smoothly.
It was organized into the 8rd Independent Brigade of the 3th Division of the National Revolutionary Army.
In fact, the principal had no intention of letting the independent regiment leave Laiyuan, and recruiting them was just for the sake of face.
He was indeed afraid. If the independent regiment was mobilized to the front battlefield and Gu Changfeng was dissatisfied and took him hostage again, he would be humiliated. After all, this could not happen again.
The whole thing ended smoothly. Chen Yaoting turned down the independent regiment's lunch banquet and took his men directly back to the mountain city. He wanted to report the matter as soon as possible to prevent any accidents.
Naturally, Chen Yaoting also said that the equipment and personnel of the independent regiment would be in place within a month, including a reward of 100,000 oceans for the independent regiment, which was considered a special reward for the independent regiment.
Gu Changfeng happily accepted the free money. After buying food and paying for the production line, he was in dire straits. Although one hundred thousand was not a lot, it was enough to solve his urgent needs.
After Chen Yaoting left, Tang Renli stayed for a few days, but seeing that there was nothing else to do, he also got up and went back to Hunan.
Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Gu Changfeng began to arrange the next steps.
Although the independent regiment achieved a glorious victory this time, the losses in supplies, personnel, property, etc. were shocking. They killed 3,000 enemies but lost 800 of their own.
Uh...it doesn't seem like that many. The Japanese casualties were still several times more than those of the independent regiment.
Of course, although the Japanese were hurt this time, they are far from being seriously injured. It won’t be long before the Japanese are ready and they will come back again. The overall situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak has not changed at all.
The conference room behind Xianyaling.
The battalion commanders sat down one after another, and Gu Changfeng was the first to speak: "Independent Regiment..."
As soon as he finished saying these words, he laughed to himself and changed the subject: "We should now be called the Third Independent Brigade, after the person who appointed us!"
"Ha ha………"
As soon as he said this, the whole audience burst into laughter, and their joy was beyond words.
Since the regiment commander has been promoted to brigadier general, it is natural that these old brothers should also be given the position of regiment commander.
After all, they all heard what Chen Yaoting said. As long as Gu Changfeng reported the list, the government would directly file everyone's information and the promotion orders would also be announced. How could they not be happy with this result?
Especially Huang Zhengkui, who went from being a small company commander in a ragtag army to now being incorporated into the Central Army with Gu Changfeng, it is normal for him to be happy.
"Brigade Commander, we are now a regular army. Are you going to give a speech?"
Huang Zhengkui said while looking at Gu Changfeng with a smile.
Huang Zhengkui laughed, but Gu Changfeng's expression turned serious. He said seriously, "Everyone has followed me, Gu Changfeng, all the way here. You all know my personality."
"Before the Kuomintang's troops arrive, I'm going to tell you the truth. We agreed to this agreement just to make some money so we can recover quickly. Don't take anything else seriously."
In fact, Gu Changfeng did not mention this during the previous discussion, and at present, no one else knows about it except himself.
"Changfeng, what do you think?" Zhou Qianli asked with a frown. In fact, he had a vague guess of Gu Changfeng's plan, but he was not sure.
Obviously, other people had the same idea as Zhou Qianli.
Why don't you use the Central Army to serve in this good place and insist on going down this path all by yourself?
Huang Zhengkui hesitated for a moment and said, "No matter what the brigade commander chooses, I, Huang Zhengkui, will follow him to the end."
Then he looked at the other battalion commanders and said, "Brothers, we are where we are today thanks to the brigade commander. No matter what the future holds, I hope you brothers will not give up."
Although he did not understand Gu Changfeng's ideas, as the first person to follow Gu Changfeng, he had always been the first to support him.
Although he is usually careless, he can see things clearly in this kind of matter. Without Gu Changfeng, they would not have the good life they have today.
Gu Changfeng didn't say anything at this moment. He wanted to see everyone's reaction, because what he was going to say next might shock everyone.
"Haha, don't be so nervous, everyone. I believe the brigade commander must have his own considerations. Anyway, no matter what, I will definitely follow the brigade commander."
Seeing that no one else spoke, Zhang Guofu could only smile bitterly and speak first.
He was the last one to join and was promoted the fastest. Naturally, his gratitude was no less than Huang Zhengkui's. He had already decided that he would go wherever Gu Changfeng went.
Because he believed that as long as he followed Gu Changfeng, his status and other aspects would definitely rise.
Seeing Zhang Guofu standing up, Wu Mazi shook his head and raised his hand, saying, "I'm probably the oldest here, so let me have a say."
After finishing his words, he gathered his thoughts briefly and continued, "Actually, the so-called regular army is just that. Now that we've made a name for ourselves, our future development will surely be smooth. Whether we have government support or weapons is actually irrelevant."
"Having weapons and personnel will only help us develop faster. Don't forget, the brigade commander also has secret channels. Are weapons and equipment a problem for us?"
"In fact, if the Japanese invaded China, I, Wu Mazi, would have been farming in my hometown."
"But the Chinese people were being massacred by the devils. As a Chinese, I couldn't just stand by and watch, so I came out."
"As for whether or not to be an official, it's really not that important to me. After driving the Japanese out of China, I plan to return to my hometown to farm."
This sentence made everyone solemn.
Having said that, the other battalion commanders naturally had nothing more to say and all echoed the sentiment.
Seeing this, Gu Changfeng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you all for your support, brothers. Now let me tell you my thoughts."
"Firstly, the KMT is in chaos. Following them is not a good option. I hope to find a good path for my brothers."
"I've discussed this with Old Ji before, and someone from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters will be coming to discuss the specifics in the next few days."
"So, Changfeng, you mean to secretly join the Eighth Route Army?" Zhou Qianli reacted quickly and interrupted Gu Changfeng's next words.
Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant, but this matter won't be spread out in the short term, so the rest of the story doesn't matter."
Seeing his confirmation, the battalion commanders immediately understood. No wonder Gu Changfeng chose to get so close to the Eighth Route Army. It turned out that this was his idea.
They didn't say anything at this point, all listening to Gu Changfeng's next arrangements. After a while, everyone finally understood Gu Changfeng's painstaking efforts and expressed their willingness to follow all the arrangements...
