Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

The power to kill first and play later is something Li Yunlong dreamed of, but never had.

With this power, it is much easier for Wang Chengzhu to quietly develop troops, whether he is hunting devils to fish for foreign water, or engaging in production.

As for ensuring the safety of himself and his allies, of course there is no problem at all. Wang Chengzhu's previous actions seemed risky, but he never fought a battle that he was not sure of.

So he said in an almost assured tone: "Brigade Commander, we have a sense of propriety. All my actions are aimed at destroying the Japanese invaders and driving them out of the country. Naturally, it is impossible to put the Second Independent Regiment and friendly troops in danger. "

After a pause, Wang Chengzhu changed his voice and said again: "That...Brigade Commander, we have another small request."

Not only did Wang Chengzhu never take credit for his military exploits, he would not be like Li Yunlong. Every time he made a meritorious service, before the headquarters appreciated him, he would definitely make a bigger mess.

This time Wang Chengzhu raised so many oceans again, which greatly eased the Eighth Route Army's urgent need for funds.

At this moment, the brigade commander looked at Wang Chengzhu like a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, no matter how satisfied he was, he naturally responded to his request in any way.

So he said with a smile: "Zhuzi, just say it, why are you being polite to me?"

Wang Chengzhu: "That... brigade commander, there is no problem with delivering these oceans to the brigade headquarters, but can I take back the horses and vehicles that carry the oceans?"

"..."

The brigade commander was speechless for a while, you damn it, you have already given 50 yuan, and you still can't bear to part with those broken horses?
I just praised your generosity as a waste of praise, but you are still the same stingy, nothing has changed.

But it seems that only in this way can the team be pulled up, otherwise the team will be overwhelmed by the extravagant.

Therefore, the brigade commander didn't care too much, and he agreed with a wave of his hand: "Okay, no problem!"

……

Taiyuan.

Japanese 1st Army Headquarters.

Commander Shinozuka Yoshio is studying the map and working with Chief of Staff Jun Miyano to perfect the battle plan to eliminate the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi.

At this time, Intelligence Staff Officer Iijima Mori hurried in from the door with a message in hand: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Chief of Staff!"

"According to reliable information, the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi has recently been secretly transferred to Southeast Shanxi!"

Hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshio's face suddenly burst into a bright smile like a chrysanthemum: "Yo Xi! The fish is hooked!"

"Order all the troops to immediately increase the attack on the bases of the Eighth Route Army and increase the fire a little more! We will strive to wipe out all the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi once and for all!"

The chief of staff Miyano Toshi next to him frowned and analyzed: "Your Excellency, at the moment we only have the 1st Brigade, the 2nd Brigade, the 8th Brigade, and the 9th Brigade, etc. Ministry, the total strength is less than [-], and it is also responsible for the defense of Zhengtai Railway Eyeliner strongholds and various counties, is the strength too small?"

"In order to be safe, should we also call the 36th Division here?"

Shinozuka Yoshio asked without answering, "Miyano-kun, who do you think is more powerful than the Eighth Route Army of China or the Central Army of China?"

Jun Miyano: "Naturally, the Central Army's combat effectiveness is stronger. After all, whether it is weapons and equipment or logistics supplies, these are not comparable to the Eighth Route Army."

Yoshio Shinozuka: "That's right. Any regiment of the Imperial Army can easily defeat a division of the Central Army of China. Even if the Eighth Route Army of China has more combatants, it is impossible to defeat a division of the Imperial Army." Brigade.

What's more, the imperial army also has armored troops and aviation troops, these are not what the Eighth Route Army of China can handle. "

"In addition, in addition to the imperial army, we also have tens of thousands of imperial association troops in our hands. Although they are embarrassing to use, they can still play a little role."

Jun Miyano nodded approvingly: "Your Excellency, Commander, your analysis is good. The general Eighth Route Army is naturally far from the opponent of the Imperial Army."

"What we really need to guard against is the Independent Battalion, which is the Second Independent Regiment that was expanded not long ago. Wang Chengzhu is an extremely unstable factor!"

Yoshio Shinozuka: "Miyano-kun, your worries are not unreasonable, this Wang Chengzhu is indeed a difficult opponent.

But no matter how difficult he is, he is only one person after all, and he only has the strength of a regiment in his hands. As long as the imperial army strengthens its guard, forgive him, he will not be able to make much trouble. "

"I have put the air force on standby at any time, and as soon as the Second Independent Regiment is spotted, it will take off and attack immediately.

Therefore, a mere independent second regiment is nothing to worry about! "

Miyano Jun: "If this is the case, then the Second Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army can indeed be crushed to death, and the remaining Eighth Route Army will be easy to deal with."

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another two days have passed.

Baijiagou.

Independent Second Regiment Headquarters.

Wang Chengzhu was drawing a topographic map of the sand table when a sentry on duty suddenly rushed in to report: "Report to the head of the group, head Li is here."

Wang Chengzhu was taken aback: "Which Captain Li? Is it our old regiment leader?"

Sentinel: "Yes."

Wang Chengzhu frowned: "What is this pork chop skin doing here?"

Wang Shugen, the battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion, came from the new regiment. He knew Li Yunlong very well, and said, "The old regiment commander is probably a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken. He has no good intentions."

"It makes sense!" Wang Chengzhu nodded, and said to the sentry: "Go and tell the old regiment leader that I'm not here, and went out to perform a secret mission."

After Wang Chengzhu finished speaking, he was about to go out to hide for a while, but at this moment, Li Yunlong's broken voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Zhuzi, we came to see you."

Together with the voice, there was also the sound of Li Yunlong's footsteps, and Wang Chengzhu was shocked.

The regiment headquarters had no back door, and the window opening was also in the direction of the yard. It was too late to escape at this time.

Helpless, Wang Chengzhu could only greet him with a smirk: "Hey, Captain, what kind of wind has brought you, a busy person, here today."

Li Yunlong chuckled: "Zhuzi, I congratulate you on getting rich."

Wang Chengzhu pretended to be puzzled and said: "Get rich? Why did you get rich? Who did you hear that my independent second regiment is so poor that it's almost impossible to get rid of it."

Li Yunlong walked straight into the regiment headquarters of the Second Independent Regiment, found a seat by himself, and sat down firmly.

"You kid won't recognize me as the head of the regiment after you get promoted?" After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he picked up the cigarette case Wang Chengzhu put on the table, took out one and put it in his mouth.

Then he picked up the kerosene lighter on the table and ignited it with a 'snap'.

Wang Chengzhu said coyly: "Leader, don't say that we are just a small head now, even if we are lucky enough to become brigade commander, division commander, or even a higher-level official in the future, it is impossible to deny you."
