Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

The end of the first phase of the Hundred Regiments War of the 129th Division was not the complete end of the entire Hundred Regiments War, but the change from the previous large-scale attack to a small-scale sneak attack.

One is to destroy the progress of the Japanese army in building the Zhengtai Railway, and the other is to contain the Japanese forces in the southeast of Shanxi, so that the brother troops on the Baijin Line, Tongpu Line, and Pinghan Railway Line can continue to expand their victories.

Afterwards, after the division's research and decision, the 4th Independent Brigade of the Royal Association Army was not merged into the Second Independent Regiment, but formed a separate Third Independent Regiment, which belonged to the 386th Brigade.

However, the original organizational system was disrupted and reorganized.

It is worth mentioning that Liu Dong, who was originally sent by the division to serve as the political commissar of the Second Independent Regiment, was temporarily assigned by the division to the Third Independent Regiment to assist Sun Yuliang in his work.

Sun Yujiao naturally followed to the Third Independent Regiment.

After Wang Chengzhu heard the news, he was suddenly delighted.

You know, there are too many dense bodies on his body. If Liu Dong is parachuted to serve as the political commissar of the Second Independent Regiment, some of his secrets may be exposed.

After the battle, the 129th Division did not return to Northwest Shanxi, and Wang Chengzhu's Second Independent Regiment was stationed at the western foot of Taihang Mountain, a small village called Majiapo.

Wang Chengzhu ordered the battalions to open up base areas, and while recuperating, he also explored suitable locations for building arsenals nearby.

In his system space, there is also a production line for the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle, two bullet production lines, and a total of 1 tons of comprehensive raw materials.

In addition, there is a production line for penicillin, that is, penicillin, plus 100 tons of comprehensive raw materials.

Now that the Second Independent Regiment has finally ushered in a rare rest time, Wang Chengzhu must put these production lines into production as soon as possible.

The M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle can be said to be the most advanced rifle in the world today.

If the Second Independent Regiment, the entire 386th Brigade, and even the entire Eighth Route Army were to be equipped with this gun in large quantities, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army would inevitably soar.

Of course, it is still somewhat impractical to equip this firearm to the entire Eighth Route Army at present, and it is even difficult for the entire Second Independent Regiment to equip it.

Because a faster rate of fire means greater consumption of ammunition.

The Eighth Route Army is not even self-sufficient in bullets for bolt-action rifles, let alone ammunition supplies for M1 Garand rifles.

However, even if only the Second Independent Regiment is equipped with the M1 Garand rifle, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army can be greatly improved.

And penicillin, an antibiotic, was almost a life-saving medicine that was hard to buy during World War II. If the Second Independent Regiment produced penicillin, the non-combat attrition of the Eighth Route Army would be greatly reduced, which is equivalent to promoting the Eighth Route Army. Strength.

……

the other side.

Yan Zhirou and Zhang Riming arrived at the border of Hongyunzhai in the southeast of Shanxi after several days of traveling.

At noon, after driving for several hours, they decided to take a rest under a small hill.

At this moment, more than 100 bandits suddenly sprang out from the hill. They held weapons and surrounded Yan Zhirou, Zhang Riming and dozens of officers and soldiers in the guard platoon.

Zhang Riming and the officers and soldiers of the guard platoon immediately drew their guns and confronted each other with alert expressions. …

There was a trace of worry in Zhang Riming's eyes. Of course, he was not intimidated by these bandits, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves with Yan Laoxi.

Mainly worried about the safety of the young lady Yan Zhirou.

But seeing that the bandits didn't open fire directly, and didn't intend to drive them all out, Zhang Riming relaxed a little.

At this time, a bandit leader with a pistol stuck in his waist suddenly separated from the crowd and came out.

This person is none other than Liao Boguang, the head of Hongyunzhai who ransacked the Sun's compound in Sunjia Town, Yangquan, and was later taught by Wang Chengzhu.

Liao Boguang had already been scared out of his psychological shadow by Wang Chengzhu, so he didn't dare to go down the mountain to fight the autumn wind during the Hundred Regiments War, until it was confirmed that the first stage of the Hundred Regiments War was over, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army withdrew to the Taihang and Taiyue mountains.

Only then did he dare to come out to fight and rob.

However, this guy has learned his lesson. He didn't dare to rob the Eighth Route Army and the common people, but pointed the finger at Yan Zhirou and his party.

Firstly, the Eighth Route Army and the common people didn't have much oil and water on them, and secondly, he was worried about being retaliated by Wang Chengzhu.

In particular, after recently hearing about Wang Chengzhu's stellar record in the southeast of Shanxi, he was even more concerned.

Of course, during this period of time, although Liao Boguang did not go down the mountain to make trouble, he subdued several bandits nearby, so that the strength of Hongyunzhai was improved again.

Zhang Riming saw that Liao Boguang was the bandit leader, so he said: "I don't know which way this hero is, and why he stopped us. If he is asking for money, I have 1000 silver dollars here, so I can treat it as making friends with you heroes." .”

As he said that, Zhang Riming took out a bank note from his pocket, and planned to go forward, but was stopped by a bandit, Hengqiang: "Stop!"

Zhang Riming didn't expect the vigilance of these bandits to be so high. Originally, he planned to use the bank notes to get close to Liao Boguang, and then come to capture the thief first to solve the crisis, but now he had to make another plan.

The bandit minion took the bank note from Zhang Riming, then walked up to Liao Boguang and handed it to him.

Liao Boguang originally belonged to the national army, and was the old company commander of Monk Wei, and then turned to the devils as a puppet army. He had seen it with his own eyes, and easily recognized the banknote in his hand.

Then he looked at Zhang Riming sadly, then turned his eyes to Yan Zhirou who was at the side, and said wretchedly, "Leave the guns and ammunition in your hand, as well as the money and women on your body, and get out!"

Zhang Riming never expected that Liao Boguang would actually set his mind on the young lady Yan Zhirou, and immediately became angry: "Presumptuous! Do you know who she is?"

If Liao Boguang dared to be so presumptuous in another place, his head would have exploded and turned into a rotten watermelon.

But at this time, he who was being cautious, did not dare to act rashly.

Liao Boguang had a full view of Zhang Riming's expression, but his expression became more and more arrogant: "I don't care who she is, since she has come to the boundary of my Hongyun Village, she is my Mrs. Yazhai of Liao Boguang!"

Yan Zhirou, as Yan Laoxi's favorite, had never been insulted like this before, his brows were frowned, and he said sullenly, "You're looking for death, if you dare to bully me, my father will definitely not let you go!"

Liao Boguang: "Oh? But I don't know my father-in-law's name?"

Yan Zhirou: "My father is the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone. If you dare to bully me, he will definitely lead his troops to destroy your Red Cloud Ridge!"

Hearing this, Zhang Riming couldn't help frowning. Since these bandits dared to kidnap them, even using the name of Chief Yan would not have the slightest effect.

The Jinsui army is all in the west of Shanxi. Even if Yan Laoxi is the commander-in-chief of the second theater, he can't touch the southeast of Shanxi.

It is even more dangerous to expose your identity.

But the matter has come to this point, Zhang Riming can only take a step forward...
