Chapter 156, Brigadier Chen arrives

"Yangquan was captured in one night, and a devil major general was also killed. It's time to see the results of the independent regiment."

After receiving the order from the General Headquarters, Brigadier Chen Da decided to set off after being very quiet and thoughtful.

In order to better coordinate the command, the headquarters of the [-]th Brigade moved forward, not far from Yangquan City.

They also did not send a telegram to the independent regiment, and launched a surprise attack.

Quietly, Brigadier Chen has brought a dozen people to the outside of Yangquan City.

One of the staff officers, Wang Dajiang, once came to Yangquan, pointing to the city wall that had been baptized by cannons and changed its appearance: "This is Yangquan. It seems that the battle last night was fierce."

The city wall not far away was full of potholes, as if it had been bitten by a dog.Concentrated around the city gate, there are even more potholes. They don't need to think too much, they know that this must be the crater left by the cannon.

Looking back on the past, the city walls of Yangquan should be very majestic and magnificent. Standing under the city walls gives people the feeling of looking up at the mountains.

Now, it has become like this, I have to say that the destructiveness of war is really terrible.

When everyone came to the gate of the city, they saw many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army busy carrying corpses and cleaning up the minced meat and dregs on the ground.

The weather has gradually turned hot, and the mosquitoes and flies have become very active. After a night of fermentation, the stench here is unstoppable.

Everyone from the brigade headquarters quickly covered their mouths and noses.

Wearing a gas mask, the commander of the fourth company of the first battalion who was cleaning up the scene with an engineering shovel stood up when he saw the cadres coming on horseback.

One or two riders may be cavalry correspondents, and a dozen riders are most likely superior leaders.

Staring round his eyes and taking a closer look, the fourth company commander recognized the brigade commander Chen Da who had been in the regiment before, and quickly put the engineer shovel on the ground, and ran to meet him.

"Hello Brigadier." He greeted with a salute.

Brigadier Chen returned a salute and pointed with a whip: "What's going on here, why is it like this?"

It can be seen that the road out of the city and both sides are full of corpses.

The soldiers shoveled limbs, broken meat, intestines and other things on the ground into the cart, apparently to drag them away and bury them.

And what caused this scene?

The fourth company commander who witnessed it with his own eyes could really tell, and briefly described the battle last night.

Together with their rifles, they charged with the falling rockets and entered the city in one breath.

The remains and debris all over the ground are the remnants of the more than 300 Japanese puppet army.

They didn't even have the chance to fight against the Independence Regiment. The rocket bombs covered the soldiers' bodies repeatedly for more than ten seconds, leaving only a few whole bodies, and most of them turned into scum.

"The Independent Regiment has a rocket launcher company, and a wave of rockets is worth three artillery regiments. It's also the enemy's bad luck, and more than 300 people were reimbursed at once."

Combat staff officer Wang Dajiang slammed his mouth after speaking, quite envious of Li Yunlong's good luck.

The commander of the fourth company said: "Brigadier, we haven't received any news of the reception, so I will immediately notify the regimental commander to come and meet you."

"Don't notify him." Brigadier Chen waved his hand, he made a surprise attack just to see the real situation.

After I have prepared, I am afraid that some things will not be seen.

The stench here was extremely foul, and everyone hurried through and entered the city.

Today is a rare sunny day. Although the temperature is not very high, there is not much wind. Under the sun, you can still feel a lot of warmth.

Walking along the road paved with bluestones, everyone saw a large number of independent regiment fighters carrying the corpses left on the ground to clean up the blood.

The sandbags piled up on the barricades have been removed, but the walls of the houses damaged by the fire still stand there, explaining to visitors how fierce the previous fighting was.

"We resisted the invaders, the city gate caught fire and the common people suffered disaster."

Seeing this scene, Brigadier Chen felt quite heavy in his heart.

Every dust of the times falls on an individual like a mountain.

"Brigade Commander, when the work of cleaning up the battlefield is over, I think the damaged houses and courtyard walls should be repaired immediately for the common people. The common people cannot be made to bear the loss just because we are fighting the Japanese."

Leading the horse, he said to the combat staff officer Wang Dajiang who was beside him.

The Eighth Route Army is a force that fights entirely for the people, and the common people are also the greatest source of strength for the Eighth Route Army.

Soldiers in the army usually help the common people carry water to work and protect the property of the common people.

The bandit style of the Central Army and the Japanese army are completely two extremes.

Because the war has damaged the property of the common people, we must find a way to make up for it, and we must not sit idly by.

Brigadier Chen nodded: "Well, that's it, let Zhao Gang handle this matter."

They came in from the north gate of the city, and the road they took was the road that the Independence Regiment drove in last night.

There was no life in the streets.

The people in the city have just experienced the flames of war, and they don't know that the city has completely changed its master. It is the famous Eighth Route Army.

Past experience told them that rebellious soldiers are not as good as bandits, and it is safest to close the door and hide at home at this time.

The grass on the grave was three feet high for those who ran out foolishly knowing the chaos outside.

"It turned out that the city was quite prosperous, and there were everything sold on the street. Later, the Japanese came, cleverly set up various taxes, seized land and bullied the market, and the shops could not continue to operate.

However, in order to maintain the prosperity of the market, the Japanese do not allow shops to close.The shops have no choice but to hold on half-dead.

It would be great if we could defend Yangquan and make it a place to stand. "

Wang Dajiang said with a little expectation with emotion.

When he was a child, he worked as an apprentice in a shop in Yangquan City. At that time, he longed to be a counter man and wear a decent long gown.

Earn some money to settle down in the city and bring your parents back.

Now that I am following the army, I feel a little like returning home, and I am very excited.

"Whether Yangquan is retained or not depends on the overall arrangement of the higher authorities, but one thing is certain, it is not so easy for the Japanese army to take it away."

After answering Wang Dajiang's question, Brigadier Chen nodded with a smile and greeted the soldiers who saluted him.

They went straight to the former headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade. Not surprisingly, it had become the headquarters of the Independence Regiment.

The penetration rate of walkie-talkies in the independent regiment was slightly higher, and as soon as Brigadier Chen Da and the others entered the city, someone notified the regiment headquarters.

I didn't make a mistake, and the original plan was completed ahead of schedule, and I made great contributions.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yunlong didn't panic anymore, and his waist was very stiff.

He led the crowd to welcome them out, saluted and greeted: "Brigade Commander, hello."

"People are refreshed on happy occasions, and it's different after a big victory." Brigadier Chen returned a salute and joked with a smile.

Li Yunlong hadn't caused any trouble for two months, and the mistakes he made were trivial.

This somewhat made the brigade commander a little unaccustomed.

"It's too much." It was rare for Li Yunlong to hear the brigade commander praise him, as if he had eaten a big iced watermelon in summer, his smile was so beautiful, his eyes narrowed into slits.

Everyone exchanged greetings and walked inside.

After entering the room and taking a seat, Wang Dajiang couldn't help asking: "Commander Li, I have a question, your rocket launchers and tanks, why didn't we see any of them?"

He knew about the strengthened deployment of the Independent Regiment, and he was curious about the roles played by the two from telegrams and field surveys.

Li Yunlong had a little impression of Wang Dajiang, and replied: "Considering that the Japanese army still doesn't know much about our weapons, it is of course best to keep them secret.

So tanks and rocket launchers are currently placed outside the city.If you want to see it, I can have someone show you there. "

Wang Dajiang nodded suddenly, it seemed that he didn't think carefully.

The situation written in the telegram is relatively brief.

Now that the brigade commander has arrived, Li Yunlong took this opportunity to describe in detail the battle last night and his command ideas.

It was the first time to take down a famous big city, and there was no too fierce offensive and defensive battle, and it only took one night.

How many people can achieve such a good result?
Which army can be as powerful as their independent regiment?
"Brigade Commander, how did we fight this time? Is there anything we can improve?"

Li Yunlong's words were a bit boastful, and he was so frightened that he had to raise his tail like a pole and puncture the roof.

Brigadier Chen frowned, he couldn't see Li Yunlong's excitement.

It's not about targeting Li Yunlong.

The main past experience shows that once Li Yunlong is complacent, his courage will multiply, and there will be a high probability of making trouble next time.

This arrogance must be suppressed.

Brigadier Chen secretly made up his mind and quickly sorted it out in his mind.

In terms of commanding the battle, Li Yunlong did nothing wrong. At most, he took the lead and charged too far ahead, which was too dangerous.

This can be said to be a mistake, but it can also be said to be a brave and fearless merit of a commander.

Especially in the case of a big victory just now, no one will be convinced to criticize this trivial matter.

Have it.

"Li Yunlong, you have done a good job in other areas, but there is only one point, how can you let Consultant Chen take risks?

Don't you know his importance?In case something goes wrong, let alone take down Yangquan, even if you take down Taiyuan, it won't make up for it! "

Brigadier Chen turned his face away and immediately turned his back.

Just like a skilled swordsman, if he doesn't make a move, he's done, and when he makes a move, he pokes in the heart.

The people in the room are all high-level cadres, and they are all well aware of the changes brought about by Chen Hao.

Hitting Yangquan without the weapons and equipment brought by Chen Hao?Dream it!
To put it bluntly, the [-]-day puppet army in Yangquan City can at least fight two or three of the Eighth Route Army before the change of clothes.

Fighting Yangquan with an independent regiment with a [-]-year-old cover will only end up being abused by the Japanese army, and will not achieve the current results at all.

Everything here shows the importance of Chen Hao.

Putting such a person at risk... anyone who stops has to shake his head.

Snow in June, snow in June!Li Yunlong felt very wronged, how could he blame himself?

The importance of Chen Hao is there, don't you want to let him stay in the headquarters, sit quietly and watch the battle?
It's not that he is not allowed to do that, it is really impossible to let him do that.

The independent regiment has all assault rifles, light machine guns assigned to the squad, and heavy machine guns assigned to the platoon.

The tank company and the rocket launcher company that have been strengthened now, which one has nothing to do with others?
The old man said: The mouth is short for eating people, but the hand is short for grabbing people.

Li Yunlong has gained so much glory, and it is not enough to worship people like a Bodhisattva. How can he control Chen Hao?
What qualifications does he have to manage people?
Therefore, Li Yunlong can now understand Zhao Gang's mood, no, it should be said that he is in a worse mood than Zhao Gang.

After all, Zhao Gang couldn't control himself, he made mistakes on his own shoulders, and it was enough for Zhao Gang to bear a few criticisms.

But he couldn't control Chen Hao by himself, the brigade commander hit him with the board directly, how could this be reasonable.

Leader Li Datuan felt that he was more wronged than Dou E, and he complained about his grievances, but he didn't look like he was proud before.

In fact, Brigadier Chen did not place the blame for improper restraint on Li Yunlong in his heart, it was just a small means to suppress Li Yunlong's arrogance.

Seeing Li Yunlong's aggrieved look, Brigadier Chen was satisfied: "Then where is Chen Hao now?"

Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang, Zhao Gang understood it quite clearly, and replied: "After the battle last night, Chen Hao rested in the Japanese bank building, and he should be there now."

"Then go and see him first, and I'll tell him about it."

Brigadier Chen got up and walked out. The number one task he got from the headquarters was to persuade Chen Hao to evacuate from the front line.

This one thing is more important than all the other things put together.

At the door, several black Buicks had already parked.

Li Yunlong went up and opened the car door: "Brigade Commander, this was seized from the Japanese, you get in the car and we go."

He experienced the taste of a car last night, and he fell in love with this means of transportation.

It is more comfortable and faster than riding a horse.

"Learning really fast, Li Yunlong, remember, don't try to enjoy corruption."

Brigadier Chen Da knocked a word, but got into the car happily.

Li Yunlong's expression changed slightly, he closed the car door, went around and sat down in the passenger seat of the car, and directed the soldiers driving to the bank building.

It is not convenient to ride a horse in the city, and a car is indeed much faster than walking.

After a while, they came to the somewhat exotic Bank of Japan building.

As soon as Li Yunlong entered, he asked, "Where is Consultant Chen?"

"It's in the underground vault." Wang Gensheng replied, and recognized Brigadier Chen who was following up behind him, leading the way.

The commando team led by Wang Gensheng was guarding the bank building. It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that there are three steps, one guard and five steps, one sentry, but they did set up several levels of checkpoints, with a high level of security.

Seven and a half tons of gold were not transported away, and all were stored in underground vaults.

Such a large amount of wealth is several times more than what the Eighth Route Army currently owns combined, so it is impossible not to pay attention to it.

Pushing open the heavy vault door, there was a mountain of gold inside, exuding a dazzling golden light.

It's just that there is a person lying on the gold pile, which makes this scene not very harmonious.

"Chen Hao, why are you lying on it?" Li Yunlong said.

Hearing the movement, Chen Hao sat up from the golden bed. He was a little sleepy, with a look of surprise on his face: "It's the brigade commander, why are you here?"

Lying on a gold bed worth billions, with excited hearts and trembling hands, I am afraid that few people can sleep well.
