Chapter 159: The Brigade Commander Feels More Uncomfortable Watching Me Make Money than Losing Money Himself

When the second and third battalions of the new second regiment arrived at the battlefield and cooperated with the 769th and 14th regiments to attack the remnants of the fourth independent mixed brigade from inside the county, the balance of victory in this battle had completely tilted towards the Eighth Route Army.

Unless the book was transformed into the Rising Sun Empire in a second, and drove the Tengu mecha and tsunami tanks to support Yangquan, otherwise these devils would have no way out.

After taking down the three city walls, the soldiers of the three regiments entered the county and began to clear out the remaining enemies.

At this time, a very small number of devils were still resisting in the residential area. These little days were still wishful thinking, trying to use familiar terrain and buildings to block the enemy layer by layer.

But the people's army has an indestructible mass base, and there are fellow villagers pointing the way on almost every street.

The soldiers accurately pulled out every hiding enemy as if they had opened a map, and the devils had nowhere to hide.

These infantrymen, who were less than a hundred people and lacked heavy weapons, could not make any splashes under the carpet search of the three regiments.

As for those puppet troops who might have problems even if they were in a favorable situation, they naturally collapsed at the first blow after seeing their wild fathers being beaten and abandoned.

Moreover, there were a group of undercovers in these puppet troops.

On weekdays, these comrades who endured humiliation could only send out some intelligence, but at this time they showed their power.

Under the huge attraction of redeeming their crimes and making meritorious contributions, a few traitors who were not guilty directly pointed their guns at the military police in the city, disintegrating the last resistance from within.

After half an hour of scanning, there was not a single Japanese hair left in the entire Yangquan County.

As for the most important ammunition depot and granary of the 385th Brigade, they were successfully occupied without any danger with the tacit cooperation of the First Battalion of the New Second Regiment and the county guerrillas.

The news of victory soon reached the command post outside the city.

When Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang rushed to the granary to meet the soldiers of the First Battalion, they saw Zhang Dabiao chatting with a flat-headed man from a distance.

This scene surprised them a little.

As the battalion commander and commando captain of the new second regiment, Zhang Dabiao usually pretends to be stern and looks quite arrogant like a martial artist.

But in the current atmosphere of communication, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the flat-headed man must have something extraordinary.

Seeing that his two chief officers finally came to the granary, Da Miao quickly pulled Duan Peng's arm and came to the regiment commander and political commissar, as if he was afraid that others would rob the treasure.

"Commander, political commissar, this is Duan Peng, a comrade of our county guerrillas."

"Don't be deceived by his honest appearance. When our commando arrived here, this kid had already killed three devils with his bare hands."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Duan Peng, and even Wei Dayong at the back of the crowd squeezed out to see this god up close.

The monk first observed the flat-headed man in front of him with a somewhat questioning look, after all, the devils' melee ability was generally not weak. But just a few seconds later, the questioning turned into appreciation.

Considering that his own regiment leader's boxing and kicking skills were only half-baked, Wei Dayong took the initiative to speak out his opinion.

"Captain, look at this young man's neck, it's almost as thick as mine, and his ability to withstand blows is definitely very strong."

"Look at his hands again, the back of his hands are black and there are calluses on his hands. You can tell at a glance that he is a master of external boxing."

The comrades of the New Second Regiment all recognized the monk's kung fu, especially Li Yunlong who was hit by a cloud palm. Hearing that his guard gave the other party such a high evaluation, the commander Li immediately thought of recruiting talents.

This matter mainly has to be blamed on the brigade commander. Since hearing that there was a tough guy who stabbed 27 devils to death with a spear in the Battle of Shentouling, Lao Li has dreamed of having such a tiger general.

Although the monk's strength is also very strong, he himself said that he is not as good as Lu Bu in the army.

But if Duan Peng is absorbed into the New Second Regiment, it will be different. Even if Wenhou cannot be found, the combination of Xu Huang and Zhang Liao is also very strong! Who dares to say that the Five Sons of Good Generals cannot be on the stage!

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong no longer hesitated and immediately invited the other party to join the new second regiment. A regiment commander is fully qualified to transfer a militiaman to the basic regiment.

Facts have proved that Lao Li's name is still very useful in Shanxi Province.

After Duan Peng learned that the man in front of him was the one who killed the Japanese colonel Sakata Nobutsu, he immediately said excitedly:

"Li Yunlong? You are Li Yunlong! Captain Li! From now on, I will do it with you! In the future, even if a knife is on my neck, I will never be vague!"

In this way, the new second regiment happily got a Zhang Liao.

In the happy conversation of everyone, the inventory of the granary and ammunition depot was also successfully completed.

According to the preliminary statistics of the comrades, there are as many as 500,000 rounds of various types of bullets here. There are also more than 5,000 shells for grenade launchers, mortars and mountain artillery.

If Katayama Shotaro had not used the mountain artillery brigade to bombard Lion Head Mountain for a whole night, the number of shells would have at least doubled.

As the headquarters of the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade, the weapons in this ammunition depot are very complete.

Not to mention the Type 38 rifles and Type 99 rifles, the replacement of rifles and light machine guns of the Eighth Route Army has come to an end. Zhang Wanhe will curse if he uses weapons of different calibers.

Even Huang He began to use the military factories within the system to stock up, preparing to find an opportunity to support the Fourth Master.

After all, the Eighth Master has become rich, and the Fourth Master is also the people's armed forces, so we cannot favor one over the other.

The main harvest this time was more than twenty intact Type 92 heavy machine guns, and the comrades also found many spare parts for the heavy machine guns.

The heavyweight contestants are two Type 94 mountain cannons. These should be the backup weapons of the mountain cannon brigade.

It is equipped with nine trucks and fuel. Although Xiaojiizi's truck does not have the carrying capacity of Citroen U23, it is still a rare treasure.

In addition, there are 900,000 catties of grain, mainly staple foods, and a small amount of vegetables.

After reading the statistical data, Li Yunlong smiled so much that his lips reached to his ears. He looked at Zhao Gang with a smile and said:

"Old Zhao, although this time it has nothing to do with our brigade commander, our division commander also wants to make a fortune."

This batch of seized materials must be handed over to the 385th Brigade, and then handed over to the division headquarters by Brigadier Chen for unified distribution, thereby strengthening the overall strength of the 129th Division.

If these munitions were captured independently by the New Second Regiment, maybe the 386th Brigade could reasonably keep a small batch, but now it is obvious that there is no chance.

Although Li Yunlong himself didn't get much, they always had their share in the rewards based on their merits. The 385th Brigade suffered more than a thousand casualties this time, and there is a high probability that they will leave behind the vast majority of these supplies.

Li Yunlong felt relieved when he thought of the brigade commander's uncomfortable appearance, like a serf who had turned over to sing. He said thiefly to the helpless Zhao Gang on the side:

"Based on what I know about the brigade commander, if he can't touch even a grain of millet captured by us, Lao Li, he will probably be unable to sleep for several days."

"According to Huang He, the brigade commander feels more uncomfortable when he sees me getting rich than when he loses money."

"Hahaha, only his injured world has been achieved!"

Although he knew that the brigade commander and Li Yunlong had a good relationship and that the two had their own way of pulling each other off, Zhao Gang could not let his partner talk nonsense here.

He lightly bumped Li Yunlong's ribs with his elbow, and then said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Okay, stop saying a few words! The soldiers are still watching! Do you have the guts to go to the brigade headquarters and act arrogantly? You, Li Yunlong, don't even dare to fart in front of the brigade commander."

"Quickly check the casualties and troop consumption. We will need to strengthen the defenses soon."

"I don't know if the Japanese have any reinforcements. We will be busy next."

At the same time, in the field headquarters of the central column of the 129th Division.

In this raid mission, the section from Shouyang to Pingding was personally commanded by the brigade commander. Just when he picked up a battle report from the front line, he suddenly sneezed unexpectedly.

In the weather in July, it was normal to sneeze, but the brigade commander didn't take it to heart.

But just a few seconds later, two more were beaten. As the saying goes, think about it, scold it, and talk about it. This was somewhat abnormal, and it immediately reminded Rang of a mean person.

"What idiot is scolding me behind my back? If I find out, I'm not done with him."

In the next few days, the surrounding Japanese soldiers mobilized some troops to conduct reconnaissance near Yangquan. But facing the Eighth Route Army, which had more than 6,000 people, almost all of them stopped.

On the afternoon of the 24th, Brigadier Chen received the order from the division headquarters. The 385th Brigade was required to participate in the attack mission and quickly expand the results of destroying enemy traffic.

After everyone's deliberation, the new second group took the lead. At nine o'clock that night, Commander Li led the soldiers and some of the seized materials to leave Yangquan County under darkness.

In the early morning of the 25th, one company of the 769th Regiment and two battalions of the 14th Regiment were left behind. The main force quickly moved towards the Zhengtai Railway and went all out to carry out the task of breaking the road.

At 8 o'clock in the evening on the 26th, the 129th Division's attack mission on the section from Pingding to Yuci was basically completed. The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region even overfulfilled its mission, and the section from Shimen to Pingding was beaten to pieces.

Not to be outdone, the 120th Division not only destroyed a large area of ​​the Tongpu Line north of Pingyao, but also cleared up the Xinjing Highway.

Based on the above results, the headquarters ordered all troops to retreat in sequence, and the first phase of the Hundred Regiment War officially ended.

The deputy commander-in-chief also specifically pointed out in the telegram:

When conditions permit, troops at all levels need to concentrate their superior forces to annihilate the Japanese troops of less than 1 battalion that invade or reinforce, and prepare in advance for the second stage of the attack.

——————————————

September 4th, a French manor in a southwest capital city.

Not only are the buildings exquisite and luxuriously decorated, there is even a huge artificial lake in the park. The lush sycamore trees surrounding the lake make the manor even more pleasant.

Under a pavilion, a bald man holding a cane looked sharply to the northwest.

His life was really troublesome during this period.

In May, the battle of Zaoyi started, and it didn't take long for Yichang to disappear. As a result, the city where he was now was often bombed by the Japanese, and all the domestic pressure and public opinion poured into him.

As luck would have it, at this moment, the Gaul chicken was killed by Sandoku. The old man still hasn't figured out one thing, how could the most powerful country in Europe just say no and disappear.

After the surrender of Gaul Chicken, the biggest impact on the Republic of China was that the China-Vietnam channel was completely gone.

One of the passages, the Guiyue-Vietnam Highway, ends in Nanning, where it is connected to the Hunan-Guangxi Highway. Aid materials imported from Haiphong Port can be transported to Hunan through this line, and then transferred to the inland provinces.

After the outbreak of the war, Guofu deliberately invested a lot of manpower to rebuild the Guiyue and Hunan-Guangxi highways. Even new bridges were built and new ferry crossings were opened, all of which were to improve transportation capacity.

But Xiaorizi was not stupid. It was impossible not to fight for such an important transportation line. So Nanning fell, which caused the Guiyue Highway, one of the passages, to be cut off arbitrarily.

At that time, there was only one Yunnan-Vietnam Railway left, but before the supplies were transported for a long time, the Gallic chicken surrendered!

Although Sandezi and Benzi did not formally form an alliance, the relationship between the two has always been ambiguous. After all, the Zeppelin aircraft carrier also referred to the initial design drawings of the Akagi aircraft carrier. Who would believe it if there was no leg.

So in June, Vichy Gallic chicken accepted Xiaorizi's request and directly closed the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway.

From then on, no matter whether it was the goods of ordinary merchants or military supplies, they could not be transported into the Republic of China through the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway.

In order to solve the problem once and for all, Benzi directly destroyed the Hekou Railway Bridge and other bridges on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, dismantled the tracks, destroyed the roads between China and Vietnam, and sent troops to garrison along the line.

Now there is only one Yunnan-Burma Road left. Xiaorizi will naturally not let go of this last passage in the southwest. They directly threatened Daiying.

Daiying's situation is not very good. In May, he and Gaul roosters fought in a double row at Dunkirk, and recently they have to prepare for the Battle of Britain.

God and heaven are conscientious. At that time, the air force of Sandezi was still very strong on paper, with advantages in both quantity and quality.

And at that time, Goering had not changed his name to Meyer, and he had not yet planted a flag and said the classic bold words that no enemy bomber could reach the Ruhr industrial zone.

At this time, if he was threatened by Xiaorizi, he would definitely be scared.

After all, the British Empire has always been a naval power, and the army still does not even have a royal prefix.

The Japanese army can directly march into Southeast Asia. Who else would be scared if Daiying is not scared? This led to the last passage being cut off.

"Ah, the policy of following the border is really disgusting."

Originally, there was another passage in the northwest, which was used by Dalinzi to support Guoxuan. But the problem is that after the fight between the bear and Japan, they directly signed an armistice agreement.

Dalinzi doesn't need you, Baldy, to help him in the front battlefield. This transportation line is basically useless.

"The Yellow River has caught up with the last wave."

During this period, all international aid has been cut off, which is really difficult for the 53-year-old man. For the industry he developed in his golden decade, domestic productivity is no different from decoration.

Multiple pressures have caused the morale of the fruit preserves to be extremely low. Some people have even discussed moving the capital again, preparing to use space to exchange time.

Just when the bald captain was worried, a middle-aged man who looked like a staff officer came to him, opened the folder in his hand and said:

"Principal, the commendation order for the Eighth Route Army has been drafted."

After saying this, the middle-aged staff officer stood at attention and dared not move, as if the Zhejiang man in front of him was a tiger that could suddenly hurt people at any time.

The bald man picked up the coffee cup on the table with his left hand, stirred it with a spoon, and took a sip. Then he glanced at the staff officer beside him, tapped the table with his finger and said:

"Read it."

"Your unit saw this good opportunity and attacked decisively, dealing a heavy blow to the enemy. I am here to commend you."

"In addition to ordering other war zones to actively attack to support your unit's operations, I hope you will quickly order your unit to take active actions, not to give the enemy a chance to breathe, and to completely cut off their transportation."

It was obvious that the content of the telegram made the bald man feel physically uncomfortable. He suppressed his inner disgust and waved to the staff officer, indicating that he should send this telegram.

When there was no one around, he showed a trace of fear in his eyes, and then said to himself: "Humph, a hundred regiments, damn it."

This matter was very entangled for him. Winning the battle was certainly a good thing, but the problem was that his mortal enemy was inexplicably getting stronger and stronger.

There will be more later, I will continue to write
