The 23rd Regiment returned to Datong under the leadership of Ning Jie that night.
Of course, this was the result of Ning Jie's contact with Boss Qian, and Boss Qian's connection. Otherwise, Ning Jie's two thousand people would not be able to get close to Datong... At this time, the Eighth Route Army's fighter planes had already taken off and landed at Datong Airport, and the Rockets
Although there are not many bullets, it is more than enough to deal with Ning Jie's troops.
Ning Jie was still a little worried about past problems when he contacted Boss Qian, but Boss Qian gave him a very satisfactory answer.
"Team seat!" Boss Qian said to Ning Jie with a smile: "You have been in the military for many years, so you must have heard of 'Little Northeast', right?"
"Of course!" Ning Jie replied.
It might be an exaggeration to say that Xiao Dongbei is known to the whole country, but he is a household name in Shanxi, especially after the Japanese continue to push up the bounty on him, and they even advertise him in disguise.
, various deeds about Xiaodongbei have long been spread among the people, and many of them have been deified.
Ning Jie didn't believe in these myths, but as he was in the military, he certainly knew about the wars in which Xiao Dongbei suffered losses time and time again... Compared with the equipment developed by Xiao Dongbei, Ning Jie admired Xiao Dongbei's wisdom and understanding of the troops more.
of command.
He once told his subordinates that if there was a chance, he would meet this small Northeast one day and see the real results on the battlefield.
Then Ning Jie seemed to understand something. He said, "Boss Qian, you mean that this battle was commanded by Xiao Dongbei?"
Ning Jie always thought that his opponent was Li Yunlong from the Independent Group, but he didn't expect that there was someone else.
Boss Qian soon confirmed this.
Boss Qian nodded and said: "If not him, who else has the ability to win Datong in one fell swoop?"
Then Boss Qian said: "Not only was this battle commanded by him, but it should be said that the equipment of Li Yunlong's troops, such as those tanks, half-tracks, and even the planes flying in the sky, were all produced by Xiao Dongbei through various means.
Obtained.”
These are no longer secrets outside.
Because Ning Jie was in the area controlled by the Japs, he knew less due to the Japs' information blockade... Of course the Japs would not publicize Wang Xuexin's achievements internally. This would only increase the influence of the Eighth Route Army and add knowledge to themselves.
Therefore, even if Ning Jie saw tanks and planes on the battlefield, he just thought they were aid from Yingjiang or Mao Xiong. He did not expect that these were actually related to Xiaodongbei.
"You mean..." Ning Jie asked in surprise: "Xiao Dongbei got these from Yingjiang and Mao Xiong?"
Boss Qian shook his head and said with a smile: "You want to come? How could Yingjiang and Mao Xiong be so kind? Even if they want assistance, they will give priority to aiding the stubborn army instead of the Eighth Route Army! These are Xiaodongbei's technology and equipment from Yingjiang
In exchange for that with the furry bear!"
Ning Jie didn't react for a long time after hearing this.
He also thought that he had heard wrongly, or that Boss Qian was exaggerating to make him feel at ease to surrender to the Eighth Route Army... How could an Eighth Route Army commander have more advanced technology than Yingjiang and Mao Xiong to exchange equipment.
At that time, Ning Jie was still thinking that boss Qian looked down on me, Ning.
Now that Ning has reached this point, can he still regret it?
Later, after Ning Jie joined the Eighth Route Army, he realized that what Boss Qian said was just the truth... The Eighth Route Army did have more advanced technologies than Mao Xiong and Yingjiang, and there were many more.
Boss Qian didn't talk too much nonsense to Ning Jie. He changed the topic and said: "These are not the important points. The important point is... Do you know who gave the order for me to take the risk to save you?"
"Little Northeast?" Ning Jie looked stunned.
Boss Qian nodded slightly.
This made Ning Jie a little unbelievable. The opponent he wanted to compete with on the battlefield had actually saved his life before they even met.
Thinking of Ning Jie, he sighed, secretly thinking that he had overestimated his abilities, and actually thought about competing with Xiao Dongbei... If this was serious, I'm afraid he would have been blown up to the sky without even seeing anyone.
!
But now Ning Jie felt relieved.
Because if Xiao Dongbei wanted to destroy him and his troops, he could just let the 23rd Regiment go to Dongxiao Village. There was no need to go to such a big trouble.
This is indeed the case.
When Ning Jie and his troops returned to Datong, they were immediately warmly welcomed by the Eighth Route Army. They didn't even surrender their guns... Not only did they not surrender them, they also replaced them with new ones.
This "new" refers to the Sanba Gai captured from the Japanese.
The equipment of the Puppet North China Security Army is pretty good, and most of what they have in their hands is the 38-year-old Gai.
However, because the Japs themselves are insufficiently equipped, what they can give to the pseudo-North China Security Army is either the 38 cover that has been repaired due to malfunctions, or the 38 cover that is about to be worn out and is inaccurate... To deal with the guerrilla troops in the rear, there is no equipment.
It was necessary, so I used the rifle that the Japanese had retreated from.
After the Eighth Route Army occupied Datong, they seized a lot of guns and ammunition.
This is not talking about captures on the battlefield.
During the battle, a large part of the Kwantung Army of the two Japanese brigades were burned to death by incendiary bombs.
One disadvantage of using incendiary bombs is that once the equipment is burned by it, it becomes useless. The wooden parts of the rifle are basically burned to coke, and the barrel is mixed with many impurities. Some parts are even "sticky" together and cannot be moved.
, completely unusable.
But to be honest, the Eighth Route Army at this time no longer looked down upon these guns.
Datong is an important transportation hub. The train station here is also an important transfer station. There are a large number of weapons and ammunition waiting to be transported to other places in the warehouse. Li Yunlong had no time to count them. He only knew that there were all kinds of materials and ammunition.
More than a dozen warehouses have been installed.
It's a pity that the Eighth Route Army used repeating rifles, and the bullets of the repeating rifles were not even compatible with those of the Japanese, so the ammunition and arms were useless.
At this time, Ning Jie's troops just happened to surrender, so what else is there to say? Just give Ning Jie and the others a whole new set of equipment, ammunition, grenades and so on.
When Li Yunlong came to see Ning Jie, he said half-jokingly: "Brother, we don't know each other until we fight! Follow me and work hard. If nothing else, your family members are all in Datong, and you don't want to
Datong will be taken back by the Japanese, right? So cheer up for me and fight the Japanese with all your might!"
The soldiers of the 23rd Regiment all laughed when they heard this.
Ning Jie didn't know what it felt like.
In the past, he always thought that the Eighth Route Army's tone of speech had an earthy flavor, and they always said "f*ck" or "I", could they be more refined?
But I don’t know why, but now listening to Li Yunlong say these words, I feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy and a sense of solidity.
