Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

The screen is pulled to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Not only the heads of the brigade headquarters of the 386th Brigade have strong confidence in the Second Independent Regiment and the New First Regiment to win Jinzhong County, but also the heads of the headquarters.

At this time, the deputy boss was looking in the direction of Jinzhong County through the window, and said, "It's already dawn, so the battle in Jinzhong must be over, right?"

Deputy Chief of Staff: "I believe there will be good news from the 386 brigade soon."

After a pause, the deputy chief of staff changed the subject and continued: "What I'm curious about now is what kind of results the Second Independent Regiment and other departments have achieved, whether they have wiped out all the Japanese and puppet troops in Jinzhong City, and how many have been wiped out. Japanese reinforcements coming from Taiyuan.”

Vice President: "This is what I'm curious about. I hope Wang Chengzhu can bring me another surprise."

As soon as the deputy boss finished speaking, a communications soldier hurried over with a translated message.

He walked up to the deputy boss, stood upright, saluted and reported: "Report! The 386th Brigade sent an urgent call, and Brigadier Chen said that the Second Independent Regiment and other departments have successfully captured Jinzhong County and wiped out all the Japanese and puppet troops in the city."

"In addition, they also wiped out a lot of devils who came from Taiyuan as reinforcements, but the specific statistics will not be known until they make statistics."

"Okay! That's great!" The vice president couldn't help clapping his hands after hearing this.

After a while, he seemed to think of something, and asked again: "By the way, as far as I know, the new brigade commander Hattori Naotomi of the 9th Japanese Infantry Brigade was also in Jinzhong City. I don't know if he was killed or captured? "

Communication soldier: "Brigade Commander Chen didn't say anything. He only said that the Second Independent Regiment and other departments wiped out the Japanese and puppet troops in Jinzhong City."

Vice President: "Call the 386 brigade immediately and ask about this matter."

The telegrams went back and forth, and the 386 brigade didn't know whether Naotomi Hattori was alive or dead, so they sent an inquiry telegram to the Second Independent Regiment, finally got an accurate answer, and reported to the headquarters immediately.

Upon receiving the news that Hattori Naotomi was shot dead, the vice president couldn't help showing a trace of regret on his face: "It's such a pity, if this old devil Hattori Naotomi can be captured alive again, our Eighth Route Army can at least expand another regiment."

The deputy chief of staff smiled indifferently and said: "Boss, the officers of the Japanese army are more arrogant than each other. Naoko Hattori has been captured by our army once before. He is obviously unwilling to suffer such a shame." Bear it twice.

Presumably when Jinzhong County was breached, Naoko Hattori knew that there was no hope of breaking through, so he chose to commit suicide by drinking a bullet. "

"Well, it should be so."

The vice president nodded. If he knew that Wang Chengzhu had a chance to capture Naoto Hattori again, but killed him directly, he would definitely reprimand him for being a prodigal and make him lose money.

Deputy Chief of Staff: "It's a pity that Naoko Hattori was killed, but the Second Independent Regiment and other units captured Jinzhong County this time and wiped out a large number of reinforcements from Taiyuan.

It is enough to make up for this loss. "

After a pause, the deputy chief of staff went on to say: "According to calculations, Naoto Hattori should be the fourth major general of the Japanese army killed by Wang Chengzhu, right?"...

Vice President: "To be precise, there are three. Although Kazuo Watanabe, the former major general of the 3th Japanese Infantry Brigade, died because of Wang Chengzhu, he was not killed by Wang Chengzhu, but committed suicide in fear of crime."

"exactly."

The deputy chief of staff nodded with a smile. It's not that he has a bad memory. The reason why he said this was to pave the way for the next words.

Then he said: "Boss, this time Wang Chengzhu captured Jinzhong County, not only wiped out at least one regiment of Japanese troops, but also killed a major general brigade commander and a leader of the Great Left Alliance. In any battle, it can be said that another unprecedented military exploit has been made.

I don't know how you plan to reward him? "

Hearing this, the vice president's face immediately darkened: "A merit is a merit, and a fault is a fault. These are two different things. Wang Chengzhu didn't ask for instructions, and he disobeyed orders on the battlefield, and he still wants to reward him?
It's almost the same as punishing him! "

The deputy chief of staff still had a faint smile on his face: "Boss, Zhuzi is not only a good fighter, but also a good fighter in developing troops and collecting military expenses.

Let's not talk about how many weapons and equipment Wang Chengzhu has seized in the past few days, and how many troops he can help our Eighth Route Army expand.

Those few million dollars alone will at least save our Eighth Route Army from having to worry about military expenses for a long time to come.

With this money, we can buy medicines, which can greatly reduce the non-combat casualties of our Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, the prelude to the Hundred Regiments War has just begun, are you really willing to punish Wang Chengzhu at this juncture? "

Of course, the deputy boss was also reluctant to punish Wang Chengzhu. This kid was different from Li Yunlong. Although he disobeyed orders on the battlefield, he never stabbed anyone.

And strictly speaking, he gave Wang Chengzhu the power to kill first and play later.

However, as the supreme commander, the deputy boss has to consider far more issues than others. He must not act according to his own thoughts, but must consider the overall situation.

The anger on his face was all disguised, the purpose was to show a fair and strict image, but in fact his heart was already blooming with joy.

It has only been about half a year since Wang Chengzhu showed his prominence in the true sense, and his military exploits have already surpassed the sum of the other Eighth Route Army, and he has never made a fool of himself. Where can we find such a reliable and easy-to-use commander?

Didn't look at Yan Laoxi next door, is Halazi almost hungry?
There is also the chairman of the committee who is far away in the mountain city, and he has praised Wang Chengzhu more than once. Although he praised the 18th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, which seemed to be boasting, everyone who understands knows that the 18th Army of the National Revolutionary Army is actually the Eighth Route Army.

If it weren't for worrying about unnecessary friction between the two armies, which would affect the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, and worrying about Wang Chengzhu's position.

I believe that whether it is Yan Laoxi or the chairman of the committee, they are very willing to poach the wall and promise Wang Chengzhu a high-ranking official and generous salary.

Don't even worry about Wang Chengzhu's position.

The current Wang Chengzhu seems to have become a banner and the belief of countless Chinese people.

The power of faith is endless.

Therefore, the chairman does not need to give Wang Chengzhu military power at all, and send him to the front line. As long as he is left behind and used as a banner, it can achieve the effect of boosting the morale of the army.

Because he has proved more than once that even though the Japanese army is very powerful, it is not invincible!
So, how could the boss really punish Wang Chengzhu? What he is really worried about now is how to reward Wang Chengzhu for his great military exploits.

The boss pretended to think carefully for a while, and then slowly said: "As for how to deal with Wang Chengzhu, we will talk about it after the Hundred Regiments War is over. Now let him perform his crimes and meritorious service on the front line."

The deputy chief of staff showed an expression that I see through you, and smiled without saying a word...
