Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 250 The news spread to the mountain city of Chongqing, the shocked principal
Lingyang.

Telegrams back and forth.

Director Zhang received a reply from Yan Laoxi from the war zone commander's department, and immediately took the translated message to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and couldn't wait to tell the boss the news.

"Boss, the situation is like this. Commander Yan said that at most one battalion of weapons and equipment and 1 silver dollars will be given to you, but you must also hand over the other six Japanese commanders to the Commander's Department for disposal.

If you are not satisfied with this condition, Chief Yan said, then he has no choice. "

The boss could tell that this should be Yan Laoxi's final bottom line, although it was far from his psychological expectation.

But he couldn't really return Hattori Naotomi to Shinozuka Yoshio in exchange for a brigade of weapons and equipment.

Yan Laoxi and the Chairman fought against the war, perhaps for the sake of the country and the nation, but it was also for their own interests.

However, the boss is different from them. The boss's war of resistance is purely for the nation, for the country, and for the common people who have been bullied and suffered.

Therefore, in the face of national righteousness, the boss is always willing to make self-sacrifice.

It is true that returning Naoto Hattori to Yoshio Shinozuka can at least exchange for a brigade of weapons and equipment, which is much more generous than what Yan Laoxi offered.

But in that case, it would be impossible to use this as propaganda to boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians across the country and the belief in the victory of the War of Resistance.

On the contrary, it may be used by those who want to say that the boss chooses to bow to the Japanese for his own benefit.

In that case, the gain outweighs the loss.

After thinking for a while, the boss agreed to the conditions proposed by Yan Laoxi, and said, "Director Zhang, I can accept Chief Yan's conditions, but I have one request."

Director Zhang was overjoyed when he heard the first half of the boss's sentence, but when he finished listening to the second half of the boss's sentence, the expression on his face disappeared immediately, and he hurriedly asked: "Boss, what else do you want?"

Boss: "I need you to send this batch of weapons and equipment to my Eighth Route Army garrison first, and then pay and deliver the goods."

When Director Zhang heard that it was such a small request, he immediately felt relieved: "Boss, there is no problem at all, but I need to report to Chief Yan."

Boss: "Then trouble Director Zhang."

……

Second War Zone Commander's Department.

Telegrams back and forth.

After listening to Zhang Riming's report, Yan Laoxi finally showed a long-lost smile on his face, which was a little gloomy because the boss opened his mouth like a lion.

Naturally, he would not refuse the boss's request, because it was reasonable, and he never thought of reneging on his debt.

"Riming, call Meng Ting immediately and say that I agree to Mrs. Peng's request."

"Yes!"

Zhang Riming made a promise, and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Yan Laoxi: "Wait a minute."

Zhang Riming turned around suspiciously, and asked, "President, do you have any other instructions?"

Yan Laoxi: "You ask the military supply department to count out the weapons and equipment of a regiment plus a battalion, and 4 silver dollars, and then send them to the Eighth Route Army station in Lingyang immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Laoxi seemed to think of something, and said again: "Forget it, after the military supply department finishes counting the supplies, you can go to Lingyang personally on my behalf."

"Yes!"

Zhang Riming obeyed Yan Laoxi's orders everywhere, and after making a promise, he turned and left.

……

The mountain city of Chongqing.

Principal's residence.

It was early spring, and the vegetation had not yet sprouted, but the principal's mansion was full of red flowers, green grass, and the fragrance of birds and flowers.

The chairman and his wife are admiring the flowers in the back garden of the mansion.

At this time, Wang Shihe, the head of the guard, suddenly walked in from the outer courtyard through the stone arch: "Your seat, madam."

Hearing Wang Shihe's voice, the chairman and his wife turned around together.

The chairman saw Wang Shihe holding a document in his hand, so he asked, "Shihe, do you have anything to report?"

"Go back to the committee seat, Shanxi has just sent a secret message."

Wang Shihe didn't seem to expect that his wife was there, so he hesitated and didn't continue.

The chairman's expression changed, and he said rather displeasedly: "My wife is not an outsider, what can you not say?"

Madam seemed to see that Wang Shihe was in a bit of a dilemma, and said empathetically, "Darling, since you have business to discuss, I won't bother you."

After speaking, the lady left directly.

The chairman looked at his wife apologetically, then turned around and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Wang Shihe: "Committee, according to a call from intelligence personnel in Lingyang, Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army has captured a Japanese major general and six Japanese commanders.

In addition, it also severely damaged the 9th Japanese Infantry Brigade, the 22nd Regiment, and the Black Island Cavalry Regiment, killing more than 8000 enemies in total. "

Hearing this remark, the Chairman was stunned. He even suspected that his ears had misheard: "What? Shihe, what did you say?"

"According to a call from intelligence personnel in Lingyang, Shanxi, it was reported that the Eighth Route Army had captured a Japanese major general and six Japanese commanders.

In addition, it also severely damaged the 9th Japanese Infantry Brigade, the 22nd Regiment, and the Black Island Cavalry Regiment, killing more than 8000 enemies in total. "Wang Shihe repeated it again, and then handed the document in his hand to the Chairman.

The chairman finally heard clearly this time, but he still asked in disbelief: "Is the information true?"

Wang Shihe: "I have confirmed this matter to the military commander in detail. In addition, the officer corps sent by the Jinsui Army to exchange and study at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also reported this matter to Yan Laoxi, so the information should be true."

Chairman Lao Huai nodded in relief, and then began to look at the documents in his hand.

It recorded in detail how the Independent Battalion ambush the Devil Watching Group, and lured the 9th Brigade to Huluxia, and then the 22nd Regiment and the Black Island Cavalry Regiment came to help, but were repelled.

There was even an incident where the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Army attacked the Eighth Route Army defense area, and the Yamamoto Special Forces attacked the Eighth Route Army headquarters and were repelled.

It is even more detailed than what Director Zhang reported to Yan Laoxi!
The military command of the national army is still very good at intelligence work.

"Okay, really good! I didn't expect the Eighth Route Army to fight another beautiful battle!"

"By the way, Shihe, the capture of a Japanese major general, is this the first time in our war history?"

The chairman temporarily forgot the conflicts and grievances between the two parties, and felt sincerely happy for the victory of the Eighth Route Army.

Since the Anti-Japanese War, the national army has been retreating steadily, so that it has lost thousands of miles. Even the country has moved twice, from the original Jinling to Jiangcheng, and then moved to the current mountain city of Chongqing.

Although the Ninth War Zone withstood the Japanese attack during the Battle of Changsha, the chairman knew that the Japanese would not let it go, and would definitely make a comeback and launch a new attack.

As long as Hunan is lost, the Japanese army can drive straight in and invade the three southwestern provinces. If the three southwestern provinces are lost again, China will really perish.

In order to ease the pressure on the southern battlefield, the chairman has always asked Yan Laoxi's second theater to put as much pressure on the Japanese army in the north as possible.

Unfortunately, due to various reasons, the Second War Zone has not been able to achieve any impressive results.

This time, the Eighth Route Army opened up the situation and not only captured 1 Japanese major general and 6 Japanese commanders, but also wiped out more than 8000 Japanese troops.

With such a big victory, the Chairman is happy.

As a result, his hands that were holding the documents in excitement trembled a little.
