Chapter 275 Brigade Commander: Li Yunlong, you are brave enough
"Replace a bad gun with a good one, exchange one intact 38 big cover for two Hanyang-made guns... Xiao Huang, you really dare to think!" On the way back to the village, the brigade commander thought of Huang Yu's talk with Adjutant Zhou of the Jinsui Army.
I can’t help but sigh at the transaction price.
Huang Yu confidently explained: "Brigadier, my asking price seems high, but the Jinsui Army will not suffer!"
"According to past combat experience, if they wiped out a Japanese infantry squad, they would lose more than a hundred people, consume thousands of rounds of ammunition, hundreds of grenades... and also lose a lot of weapons!"
"A little Japs shoulder patch and nameplate cost a hundred rounds of ammunition, plus the bullets and grenades exchanged for the helmet, military flag, officer's sword... If we destroy the junk seized by an infantry squad of the Japanese army, we can exchange for six to seven thousand rounds of ammunition.
Four to five hundred grenades..."
"The Jinsui Army has a World War II area to replenish their ammunition... Just replenishing the battle damage can replenish the ammunition we exchanged!"
"As for the pensions from the war zone, 80% of them will go into their own pockets... Maybe their regimental leader will be promoted to a higher rank by the war zone..."
“After all calculations, our asking price is not only not high, it’s even a little low!”
When the brigade commander heard that it was really what happened, he followed Huang Yu's words: "Commander Yan was very stingy to our Eighth Route Army during World War II and spared no money... but he was very generous to their own people..."
"You just ignored the rewards given to troops participating in the war in the war zone... In this way, the Jinsui Army who traded with us really didn't suffer at all!"
"Comrade Huang Yu... you must stabilize this trading channel for me..."
"When I get back, I will send you the damaged weapons captured by each unit, as well as the Japs' epaulettes, nameplates, samurai swords, helmets, military flags... all of them, and slowly trade them with the Jinsui Army to prevent them from lowering the price...
The 354th Regiment of the Jinsui Army was stationed. As soon as the adjutant came back, he hurried to the regiment headquarters.
He made the decision without permission to buy the Japs shoulder straps that Huang Yu brought to Zhujiapo. Although he knew that the group leader would definitely agree, he had to report the matter immediately in order not to make the group leader angry.
While reporting, he introduced the treasure he bought to the regiment leader: "Regiment leader, these are the little devil's epaulettes... A pair of epaulettes with a nameplate, a total of fifty-eight sets, including one lieutenant, one second lieutenant, and four commanders.
Four sergeants...the rest are ordinary soldiers, just a full infantry squad..."
"This is the best proof that we have annihilated the Japanese..."
"Send it to the war zone and annihilate an infantry squad of the Japanese army, and you will get the credit!"
"I took the initiative without authorization and used our own weapons and ammunition in exchange for them from Nanfeng Village!"
"Although it's a bit expensive, it's nothing compared to the compensation for our battle losses and the awards given to us in the war zone!"
"When Nanfengzhai joins forces with other bandits in northwestern Shanxi to severely inflict heavy damage on the Eighth Route Army there, seize all the Eighth Route Army's epaulettes, weapons and ammunition that they captured, and sell them to us... there will be no problem if we can collect the merits of an infantry squadron!"
"At that time, the war zone will not only reward our 354th Regiment, but maybe even give you a promotion... The 354th Regiment can also be transformed into an independent brigade or a guerrilla column behind enemy lines... Your military rank can also be changed.
Become a major general!"
The regimental commander knew better than Adjutant Zhou how eager the war zone was for victory.
In order to preserve his strength, avoid angering the Japs, and avoid causing fatal disasters for the Jinsui Army, Commander Yan has been secretly contacting the Japanese army in Shanxi and reached a secret agreement in private not to attack each other.
But Chongqing and the people did not want Chief Yan to do this, and they have been putting pressure on the war zone to attack the Japanese, learn from the Eighth Route Army, and seize territory from the Japanese.
The pressure from Chongqing and the civilian population was quickly transferred to the frontline combat troops and combat troops behind enemy lines in the war zone.
The 354th Regiment has received several telegrams actively attacking the Japanese and puppet troops.
But the regiment leader did not want to break the balance between the 354th Regiment and the Japanese.
I have been thinking of ways to fool the war zone, delay time, and try not to fight the Japanese...
Although the epaulettes and nameplates brought back by Adjutant Zhou were a pair of tatters, they were the best evidence that the 354th Regiment had annihilated a large number of Japanese.
After being sent to the war zone, the achievement of annihilating a single infantry squad of the Japanese army can be confirmed and will fall to the 354th Regiment.
After listening to Adjutant Zhou's introduction, the regiment leader was not only not angry because of his unauthorized decision-making, but also looked excited. He patted him on the shoulder and said happily: "You did a good job..."
"If I am really promoted to major general, I will definitely promote you to lieutenant colonel..."
"If you want to stay with me, become an adjutant. If you don't want to stay with me, then go down and become the deputy commander..."
"You should contact Nanfeng Village immediately and ask them to seize the opportunity to attack the Eighth Route Army!"
"We don't have enough weapons and ammunition, we can continue to sell them to them."
"But the Japanese-style equipment, nameplates, epaulettes, and samurai swords they seized from the Eighth Route Army... must all be resold to us, and the price can be easily negotiated..."
"Don't they want the weapons, ammunition and food in our hands?"
"Just use these things to exchange for the Japanese equipment they grabbed from the Eighth Route Army..."
"Broken Japanese weapons can be exchanged for good guns from us... The intact 38-type cover can be exchanged for two Hanyang-made or Chinese-made weapons... crooked handles, heavy machine guns, mortars, infantry guns... as long as
If they can grab it, I will trade with them!"
Adjutant Zhou reminded in a low voice: "Regiment leader, if we change so many at once, the higher-ups will definitely doubt us after we are sent to the war zone... How about we just change the equipment and epaulettes of an infantry squadron!"
"What do you know?" the leader scolded without hesitation.
"As long as I can get it back, I can afford the equipment of an infantry brigade..."
"There are several regiments of the Jinsui Army in western Shanxi alone... Their life is not easy... just like me, they collect Japanese equipment everywhere to fool their superiors!"
"We use part of the weapons, ammunition and food to exchange those Japanese-style equipment and epaulettes into our own hands, and then sell them to them. We will definitely be able to count the money until we are weak!"
"You don't need to worry about these things... As long as Nanfeng Village snatches back the Japanese-style equipment, we can get as much as we want!"
"Kill...kill...kill..."
At the training ground of Nanfeng Village, a murderous shout suddenly rang out and quickly spread throughout the village.
The brigade commander heard the news and arrived. The first company of the assault battalion was conducting bayonet training under the command of Wei Dayong.
Wei Dayong had been a monk, practiced kung fu, and was very good with a bayonet. Even Huang Yu was no match for him.
Although the independent regiment is equipped with a large number of pistols and rarely fights with the Japanese with bayonets face to face, the regiment has not given up its bayonet training.
In Huang Yu's eyes, fighting with a bayonet is not only a soldier's last resort to save his life, but also the best way to show a unit's strong fighting will.
Once the bayonet fighting is well trained, the spirit of the troops will be different.
Looking at the assault camp, the strongest man with bayonets is Wei Dayong... The most powerful unit with bayonets is undoubtedly the 1st Assault Company...
"The training is good, and you look a little like a veteran...given time...this unit will definitely become an elite force!" The brigade commander nodded repeatedly and sighed with a smile.
Huang Yu answered with a smile: "Report to the brigade commander... This is the first company of the assault battalion, and it is also the company with the strongest combat effectiveness in the assault battalion!"
"Company Commander Wei Dayong, his kung fu is extremely impressive!"
"My positioning for the First Assault Company is to be able to attack and defend... Judging from the current training situation, they are still far behind and need to continue to work hard!"
The brigade commander didn't expect Huang Yu to value Wei Dayong so much, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times before looking away, staring at Huang Yu and continuing to ask.
"I remember that after the First World War in Taiyuan, the total strength of the assault company had been reduced sharply to a hundred people. I estimated that there were at least 400 people in the barracks... The assault camp suddenly expanded from 100 people to more than 400 people, which is equivalent to eating in one bite.
Will becoming a big fat man and having enough veterans affect the overall combat effectiveness of the commando battalion? If the puppet troops attack one day, will the commando battalion still have troops to fight against it?"
"The newly expanded troops of the assault battalion mainly come from prisoners of war and ordinary people in the defense zone!"
"The prisoners of war here are all trained by the Japanese, and they are very capable in combat!"
"I will directly replenish the troops with this group of people and mix them with the original veterans of the assault battalion to ensure that each company has two platoons that can go into battle immediately!"
"The new recruits recruited from among the villagers have formed three or four platoons separately, and each platoon has four veterans for training. They have no combat effectiveness for the time being!"
"When they complete the recruit training, I will add them to the main force, and three or three main companies will be fully staffed!"
"If the Japanese and puppet troops suddenly attack, the assault battalion can mobilize at least six main platoons and one fire platoon to fight, ensuring that the Japanese and puppet troops will be wiped out!"
"Not bad..." The brigade commander was very satisfied with Huang Yu's answer and looked at him with admiration.
"From now on, you only need to do two things...no, it should be three things!"
"While training the troops well, stabilize the deal between us and the Jinsui Army, and by the way, hand over Commander Kong to your armory to take care of it!"
At the headquarters of the Baipogou Independent Regiment, the brigade commander walked in and heard Li Yunlong shouting: "Kong Er is stupid...this time we surrounded the point to call for reinforcements, my new second regiment will definitely outperform the independent regiment!"
"Although the brigade commander doesn't allow us to fight a big battle, I will pull out my teeth when the devil comes!"
"There is a little devil transfer station in the New Second Regiment's defense area. It has a large amount of weapons, ammunition and food. It has more than 600 troops stationed in it and is equipped with two infantry guns and six mortars. It is very powerful!"
"I took advantage of the darkness to dig the offensive position right under their noses, and put all the thunder cannons equipped by the New Second Regiment to the forefront of the position..."
"Three rounds of explosives were thrown at it. Guess what?"
"The Japanese and puppet troops were afraid that the weapons, ammunition and food in the transfer station would be destroyed by flying thunder cannons, so they sent more than 200 people to launch a counterattack against us in an attempt to destroy those flying thunder cannons..."
"Although the New Second Regiment doesn't have many guns or many troops, it does not lack light and heavy machine guns!"
"When we retreated from Taiyuan, I brought back more than fifty light and heavy machine guns..."
"Twenty light and heavy machine guns were drawn and one was placed on the position, and the Japanese and puppet troops rushed to 50 meters before firing..."
"What the heck, as soon as the heavy machine gun fired two bullets, we killed all the puppet troops in more than two hundred days!"
"The remaining Japanese and puppet troops at the transfer station were directly frightened by me. They only dared to hide in the transfer station and fire artillery outside. While defending, they asked for help from the surrounding garrison..."
"The main force of the New Second Regiment took the opportunity to withdraw from the battle and fought two ambush battles and a blocking battle on the only way the Japanese and puppet troops must pass, wiping out more than 400 Japanese and puppet troops..."
"When the Japanese and puppet troops see that the situation is not going well, they call in the plane..."
"I have already left the battlefield with the loot!"
"In less than two days, we killed nearly 700 Japanese puppet troops...isn't it better than the Independent Regiment?"
Seeing Li Yunlong getting more and more arrogant as he talked, Kong Jie wanted to slap him in the face and asked directly: "Destroying the puppet army for nearly 700 days... is really powerful..."
"I just don't know how many prisoners Lao Li has captured... Our purpose in fighting this battle is to severely damage the puppet army. The more prisoners we capture, the greater the shock it will bring to the Japanese!"
Li Yunlong's face immediately turned into a bitter look, and he said very unhappy: "It makes people angry when I talk about this!"
"Although there are several small and medium-sized strongholds around the transfer station, I attacked too hard. Only three medium-sized strongholds dared to send troops for reinforcements. The New Second Regiment only fought two ambush battles and one blocking battle!"
"Although the strategy of attacking Japanese officers first and then forcing the surrender of ordinary puppet troops is effective, the reinforcements are too few and only about two hundred puppet troops were captured!"
After saying that, he stared at Kong Jie and asked: "Kong Er, how many puppet soldiers have been captured by the Independence Regiment... don't hide them..."
"More than five hundred..." Kong Jie said directly.
Li Yunlong's eyes immediately widened, and he asked with disbelief: "This is impossible..."
"I remember that the total number of Japanese and puppet troops killed by the independent group was only more than 600. How could it be possible to capture more than 500 puppet troops..."
"Is it possible that those you ambushed are puppet troops?"
Kong Jie explained with a smile: "I divided the army into three and attacked three small strongholds at the same time..."
"Because the attacking force was very small, it did not attract the attention of the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops. The surrounding strongholds only sent dozens or more than a hundred reinforcements to the battlefield, and the puppet troops were the main force, with the Japanese as a supplement..."
"First use guerrilla warfare to kill the Japs officers in the puppet army, then use ambush warfare to kill the Japs in the reinforcements first, and finally force the puppet troops to surrender..."
"In order to capture a few more puppet troops and let them see our absolute strength..."
"Several flying thunder cannons equipped by the independent regiment did not participate in the attack, and were placed in ambush positions to scare the puppet troops..."
"We threw out a packet of explosives. Before we could persuade them to surrender, the puppet troops were so frightened that they rushed to surrender to us for fear of being blown into pieces!"
Ding Wei finally spoke: "Old Li, the New First Regiment did not kill as many Japanese and puppet troops as the New Second Regiment, but it captured more than 400 puppet troops!"
"I'm asking you to pull out all the teeth... you look down on those small strongholds... so what, you're going to suffer a loss!"
"If you let the brigade commander know, you will definitely get scolded again!"
"Speaking of which... the New Second Regiment killed nearly 700 puppet troops in two days... In terms of results, you are indeed the one!"
After saying this, Ding Wei gave Li Yunlong a thumbs up.
The frown on Li Yunlong's face immediately relaxed and he said happily: "That's right, you don't even know who is the leader of the new second regiment!"
"If the brigade commander hadn't allowed us to fight a big battle, I would have wanted to visit the county seat!"
"Li Yunlong... you are brave enough, why don't I send you to fight Taiyuan again?" the brigade commander suddenly walked into the war room and said.
