The end of the first phase of the 129th Division's Hundred Regiment War did not mean that the entire Hundred Regiment War was completely over, but that the previous large-scale attack was changed to a small-scale sneak attack.

Firstly, it was to disrupt the progress of the Japanese army's construction of the Zhengtai Railway, and secondly, it was to contain the Japanese forces in the southeastern Shanxi region so that the fraternal forces on the Baijin Line, Tongpu Line, and Pinghan Railway Line could continue to expand their achievements.

Afterwards, after a study by the division headquarters, it was decided that the 4th Independent Brigade of the Royal Association Army was not merged into the 2nd Independent Regiment, but instead formed a separate 3rd Independent Regiment, affiliated with the 386th Brigade.

However, the original organizational structure was disrupted and reorganized.

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

Naturally, Sun Yujiao also went to the Third Independent Regiment.

After Wang Chengzhu heard the news, he suddenly burst into joy.

You must know that he has too many secrets on his body. If Liu Dong is parachuted into the Second Independent Regiment to serve as political commissar, some of his secrets may be exposed.

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

Wang Chengzhu ordered each battalion to open a base area and while recuperating, he also explored a suitable location for building an arsenal 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 700 tons of comprehensive raw materials.

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

Now that the Second Independent Group finally has a rare break, 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, even the entire 386th Brigade, and even the entire Eighth Route Army were equipped with this firearm in large numbers, the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness would inevitably soar.

Of course, it is currently unrealistic to equip the entire Eighth Route Army with this firearm, and it may even be difficult to equip the entire Second Independent Regiment.

Because a faster rate of fire means greater ammunition consumption.

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

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.

Penicillin, an antibiotic, was a life-saving medicine that was difficult to buy even with money during World War II. If the Second Independent Regiment produced penicillin, the Eighth Route Army's non-combat attrition would be greatly reduced, which would be equivalent to upgrading the Eighth Route Army.

Strength.

…

The other side.

After several days of traveling, Yan Zhirou and Zhang Riming have arrived at the boundary of Hongyun Village in the southeastern Shanxi region.

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

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

Zhang Riming and the officers and soldiers of the guard platoon immediately drew their guns and faced each other with wary expressions.

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

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

But seeing that the bandits did not open fire directly, and had no intention of killing them all, Zhang Riming relaxed a little.

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

This person was none other than Liao Boguang, the head of Hongyun Village who ransacked the Sun family compound in Sunjia Town, Yangquan, and was later scolded by Wang Chengzhu.

Liao Boguang was already psychologically frightened by Wang Chengzhu, so he did not dare to go down the mountain to fight the autumn wind during the Hundred Regiments War until the first stage of the Hundred Regiments War was determined.

It has ended, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army has withdrawn to the mountains of Taihang and Taiyue.

Only then did he dare to come out to block and rob others.

However, this guy learned his lesson. He did not dare to rob the Eighth Route Army and the common people, but instead targeted Yan Zhirou and his party.

Firstly, the Eighth Route Army and the common people did not have much luck, and secondly, he was worried about Wang Chengzhu's revenge.

In particular, after recently hearing about Wang Chengzhu's brilliant record in the southeastern Shanxi region, he was even more frightened.

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

Zhang Riming saw that Liao Boguang was the bandit leader, so he said: "I don't know which road this hero is from, and why he stopped us. If it is to ask for money, I have 1,000 silver dollars here, so I can make friends with you heroes."

.”

With that said, Zhang Riming took out a banknote from his pocket and was about to step forward, but was stopped by a bandit with a gun: "Stop!"

Zhang Riming did not expect that the vigilance of these bandits would be so high. He originally planned to use the banknotes to get close to Liao Boguang, and then capture the thief first to solve the crisis, but now he had to make another plan.

The bandit took the banknote from Zhang Riming's hand, walked up to Liao Boguang and gave it to him.

Liao Boguang was originally affiliated with the Communist Party and was the old company commander of Monk Wei, but he later defected to the Japanese and became a puppet soldier. He had some eyesight and easily recognized the banknote in his hand.

Then he looked at Zhang Riming with a sinister look, then turned his gaze to Yan Zhirou aside, with a hint of vulgarity on his face and said: "Leave the guns and ammunition in your hands, as well as the money and women on you, and then get out!"

Zhang Riming never expected that Liao Boguang would actually target the eldest lady Yan Zhirou, and he immediately became angry: "How presumptuous! Do you know who she is?"

If in another place, Liao Boguang's head would have exploded into a rotten watermelon if he dared to act so recklessly.

But at this time, he dared not act rashly.

Liao Boguang saw Zhang Riming's expression clearly, and his face became more arrogant: "I don't care who she is, since she has come to the territory of my Hongyun Village, she is my wife of Liao Boguang!"

Yan Zhirou, as Yan Laoxi's beloved daughter, had never been insulted like this before. She frowned and said angrily: "Looking for death, if you dare to bully me, my father will definitely not let you go!"

Liao Boguang: "Oh? But you 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 wipe out your Hongyun Ridge!"

Hearing this, Zhang Riming couldn't help but frown. Since these bandits dared to hijack them, even mentioning Chief Yan's name would have no effect at all.

The Shanxi-Sui army is all in the western Shanxi area. Even if Yan Laoxi is the commander-in-chief of the second theater, he cannot touch the southeastern Shanxi area.

Exposing your identity is even more dangerous.

But now that the matter has come to this, Zhang Riming can only take one step at a time...
Chapter completed!
