"Okay! Those who are willing to stay and join the Eighth Route Army are welcome!" Wang Liang said.

In this way, all 474 prisoners chose to join the Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion.

Wang Liang asked Sun Shulin to organize elite personnel to conduct secret political reviews, and at the same time arranged for Zhou Weiguo and Ou Xiang to conduct military training and political studies on these people respectively.

After the prisoner matter was dealt with, Wang Liang called the members of the independent battalion team together for a meeting. This time the scope of the meeting was expanded to the company commander and instructor level.

The theme of the meeting was the rescue of Hao Yiren, leader of the Xing City guerrilla detachment.

In fact, Wang Liang has never forgotten this matter and has always kept it in mind.

The Japanese claimed that Hao Yiren had defected, but according to the information obtained through Wang Liang's investigation, there was no direct evidence that Hao Yiren had defected and surrendered to the enemy.

So the mission is still defined as rescue.

Wang Liang directly stated the theme of this meeting:

"Currently we have received information that Captain Hao has been transferred from Xing City to the Lincheng Gendarmerie. I plan to launch a rescue operation in the near future. If you have any suggestions and ideas, please discuss them."

Yin Hua was very excited as he listened and took the initiative to ask for help:

"Battal Commander, Hao Zhi is my old superior and a friendly and friendly brother. I want to personally participate in this rescue operation. Please approve it!"

Wang Liang smiled and told him to calm down: "Old Yin, don't get excited yet. We will work out a preliminary plan for today's meeting. A specific action plan will be formulated later, and you will be invited to participate."

Ou Xiang first said: "After the Japanese and puppet forces in the Lincheng area suffered successive defeats, it can be clearly felt that Kawamoto is increasing his rule and security measures in the county have been increasing."

"I think we can think of ways to get the Japanese to move Captain Hao out of Lincheng. We can do it on the road, so the chance of success is higher."

Wang Liangming nodded: "Lao Ou provided a good idea, and everyone discussed it."

After saying that, Wang Liang looked at Zhou Weiguo again: "Old Zhou, please tell me."

Zhou Weiguo expressed a different opinion: "Our independent battalion has won several battles in succession. My idea is that while morale is strong, we can carry out rescue operations by raiding Lincheng County."

"At the same time, if possible, take the opportunity to kill Kawamoto Masato, a strong opponent, so that he will not be left behind as a nuisance."

Zhou Weiguo could be said to have refused to say anything shocking, and directly proposed to raid Lincheng County.

After hearing this, Chen Feng, Sun Chenghai, Sun Desheng, Magnet, Ji Zhengshan and others couldn't help but look at each other, feeling that Zhou Weiguo really dared to think.

It is true that the independent battalion now has strong troops, but it still sounds unbelievable to attack the county town.

Moreover, Masato Kawamoto is a thoughtful person. Whether it is city defense or public security, he manages everything in an orderly manner, and it is difficult to find loopholes that can be exploited.

In this way, after Ou Xiang and Zhou Weiguo expressed their thoughts, everyone began to discuss it.

After the meeting, Wang Liang left Yin Hua alone.

Wang Liang handed Yin Hua a cigarette, lit it for him, and then opened his mouth:

"Old Yin, this time the enemy sent a guard to attack our battalion headquarters. Fortunately, you provided the information in time. I have already reported it to the brigade headquarters to ask for credit for you."

Yin Hua smiled modestly: "Hi, battalion commander, I, Old Yin, have been working in Xing City for such a long time and have developed a lot of underground traffic officers. They are spread across all walks of life and they work seriously and responsibly."

"The intelligence this time was compiled and analyzed based on the information they provided. If I really deserve an award for meritorious service, the credit should not go to me alone. It should go to them. Their contribution is greater."

Wang Liang admired Yin Hua's attitude of taking credit but not being arrogant: "Then you, old Yin, will convey the praise given to them by the organization to these underground traffic officers on my behalf, and also ask them what difficulties they have."

"These traffic officers risk their lives to collect intelligence and deliver letters for us. We must care about their lives, provide timely help and solve difficulties."

For the safety of underground traffic personnel, single-line communication is generally adopted.

Even as a superior, Wang Liang would not ask Yin Hua for specific information about these traffic officers.

Therefore, praise and concern can only be conveyed by Yin Hua.

As for receiving awards for meritorious service, Yin Hua can only keep them in mind and award them later when the traffic officer goes to the ground.

"Okay, no problem. I will convey the organization's concern for them on your behalf. I think they must be very encouraged." Yin Hua smiled.

Wang Liang continued: "Old Yin, when we fought against the enemy's newly formed 10th regiment, I saw your performance in the battle."

"Ever since you joined our independent camp, I have kept your work ability and attitude in mind."

"Let me say hello to you in advance. The organization is studying how to use you further. You must be prepared for this."

Wang Liang's intention has been very clear, and he wants to promote Yin Hua.

Yin Hua looked very indifferent. He pinched off the cigarette that had burned to the butt and expressed his position:

"Yes, battalion commander, I will definitely obey the order, obey the command, and do my job well."

After sending Yin Hua away, Wang Liang looked thoughtful as he looked at the cigarette butts on the table with a hint of smoke still coming out.
Chapter completed!
