Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 299 Attacking Wanjia Town Again, Xu Hailang's Cousin
"Cuckoo, cuckoo."

The independent battalion rested for about 10 minutes.

Suddenly there was a cuckoo's sound in the dark night ahead. The vigilant Wang Shugen heard the sound and immediately responded a few times like the bird's song.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo."

After confirming his identity, Duan Peng finally led a few Spike team members and quickly walked over from the front.

"Company Commander Wang, is the Battalion Commander here?"

Wang Shugen nodded: "Come on, let's go, I will take you to see him now."

Immediately, Wang Shugen led Duan Peng and the others towards the grove behind.

"battalion commander!"

After seeing Wang Chengzhu, Wang Shugen, Duan Peng and others saluted quickly.

Wang Chengzhu bowed back and asked, "How is it? Have you figured out the situation of the little devil?"

Duan Peng: "I figured it all out. Masao Nishiyama, an old devil, led the remnants of the 4th Brigade into Wanjia Town, and then directly occupied the magpie's nest and the barracks of the 8rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 3th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army.

It is also the barracks of the original Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion. "

As Wanjia Town is an important stronghold, there is also a train station, so the little devil will naturally not give up.

Therefore, after Wanjia Town was attacked by the Independent Battalion, another battalion of the Imperial Association Army was dispatched.

However, due to successive attacks on the strongholds in the northwest of Shanxi, there was a shortage of troops.

This time the Japanese army only deployed a small team at the train station, plus a company of the 3rd Battalion of the Imperial Association Army.

After listening to Duan Peng's narration, Xu Hailang, the deputy battalion commander next to him, immediately lit up: "Captain Duan, you said that the 8rd Battalion, 1st Regiment, 3th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army is stationed in Wanjia Town?"

Duan Peng: "Yes, deputy battalion commander, is there any question?"

Xu Hailang slapped his thigh and said: "Coincidental, what a coincidence! I only knew before that the little devil sent another battalion of the Imperial Association Army to garrison Wanjia Town, but I didn't expect it to be the 8th Mixed Brigade 1 of the Imperial Association Army." Regiment 3 Battalion."

Wang Chengzhu knew that Xu Hailang was also a member of the 8st Regiment of the 1th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army before he turned to the light, so he asked, "Deputy Battalion Commander, do you know the battalion commander of the 8rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 3th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army?"

Xu Hailang: "I know it, I know it too well. This person's name is Song Hongwei. He is the eldest son of my second uncle's family and also my cousin."

Wang Chengzhu: "Hearing your tone, could it be that your cousin is not sincerely devoted to the sun?"

"Not bad!"

Xu Hailang nodded heavily: "At that time, my cousin was forced to join the Japanese because of the order of the chief.

But after he voted for Japan, he has never done anything traitorous, and he has always thought about rebelling against the water, but he has no chance.

At that time, after leaving Shilipo, I also tried to contact my cousin, but at that time I didn't know where his troops were stationed.

Unexpectedly, he actually came to Wanjia Town. "

Wang Chengzhu: "This is really great. If your cousin is willing to join my independent battalion, then it will be easier for us to destroy the remnants of the Japanese 4th Brigade this time."

Xu Hailang: "Battle Commander, I am willing to go to Wanjia Town to persuade my cousin to rebel. Please give me two hours."

Wang Chengzhu originally wanted to go to Wanjia Town in person, but after thinking about it, he gave up this idea.When he was in Shilipo, he had to go out to lobby Xu Hailang himself because his artillery platoon was weak and he didn't have any combat exploits.

But it’s different now. The independent battalion has already gained a reputation, and its strength will no longer be questioned. The effect of the deputy battalion commander Xu Hailang’s dispatch is the same as that of himself, so he nodded in agreement with Xu Hailang’s initiative: “Okay, Then I’ll trouble you to go to Wanjia Town, after this is done, you will be the top performer.”

Xu Hailang: "I don't dare to take the credit, this is my job."

After finishing speaking, Xu Hailang was about to go to Wanjia Town with Monk Wei and the others, but was stopped by the second company commander Tian Shuisheng: "Wait a minute!"

Xu Hailang turned his head back and asked with a puzzled look: "Second Company Commander, is there anything else you need?"

Tian Shuisheng: "Deputy Battalion Commander, although this Battalion Commander Song is your cousin, of course he didn't want to be a traitor before.

But the conditions of our Eighth Route Army are notoriously difficult, and you have not been in contact with your cousin for a long time, so it is hard to guarantee that his original intention will not change. "

"If you go hastily, and he has never thought about and is unwilling to join our Eighth Route Army, then not only will you be in danger, but our operation will still be aborted.

So, let's take a long-term view. "

Xu Hailang: "I am willing to use the head of the item to guarantee that my cousin will never really want to be a traitor."

Tian Shuisheng: "Deputy Battalion Commander, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this matter is so important that we can't be careless."

"It's okay if it's normal, but today it's still related to whether we can wipe out the remnants of the Japanese 4th Brigade."

Xu Hailang also knew that Tian Shuisheng's worries were not unreasonable. Besides, he might not be able to convince the crowd with his empty words, so he turned his attention to battalion commander Wang Chengzhu.

Wang Chengzhu didn't immediately make a conclusion. Tian Shuisheng is a member of the Communist Party. He has no selfishness, and there is nothing wrong with remaining suspicious. This is also for the consideration of the entire independent camp.

So Wang Chengzhu turned his attention to Wang Shugen: "Genzi, what do you think about this matter?"

Wang Shugen thought for a while, and said with a serious face: "I have never been in contact with Battalion Commander Song, but through the investigation during this period of time, I can confirm that Battalion Commander Song's troops are very different from other Imperial Association troops.

After they entered Wanjia Town, they did not harm the people, nor did they run rampant in the village to oppress good people.

It can be seen that his rule of the army is relatively strict. "

Wang Chengzhu turned his head to look at Tian Shuisheng, and said with a smile: "Second Company Commander, it can be seen that Song Battalion Commander's heart is for the people, and he is very different from other traitors who turn to the enemy for glory and wealth.

So, your worries are completely unnecessary. "

Tian Shuisheng said no more: "Well, I hope my worries are unnecessary."

"Commander, let's go then."

After Xu Hailang finished speaking, he and Duan Peng and others rushed towards Wanjia Town, and disappeared into the night not long after.

……

two hours later.

Xu Hailang and Duan Peng went and returned, and beside them was a major officer in the uniform of the Imperial Association Army.

Needless to say, Wang Chengzhu also guessed the identity of this person.

"Battalion Commander, this is my cousin Song Hongwei, who is also the current battalion commander of the 8rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 3th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army."

"Cousin, this is Wang Chengzhu, the battalion commander of my independent battalion."

Wang Chengzhu stretched out his hand and said at the same time: "Battle Commander Song, I have been admiring you for a long time."

Song Hongwei hastily reached out his hand and shook hands with Wang Chengzhu, and then said: "Battalion Commander Wang is joking, I am the one who is famous for your reputation. The Independent Battalion has killed more than 1 enemies successively, killing the little devils. 6 devil major general, [-] devils commander, strengthen our army!

It is not an exaggeration to say that such military exploits are ancient and brilliant. "
