my bright sword career

Chapter 173

Although most of the Japanese soldiers are stubborn and very few people will be taken as prisoners, but there is no absolute. The Eighth Route Army has fought the Japanese for so many years, and there are not no Japanese soldiers who have been captured, but all of them are only soldiers, above the rank of lieutenant There are basically no officers, let alone rank and file officers.

Today, a major can be caught unexpectedly, which is good news.

And Li Changan was also very happy. Gao Hongming, the leader of the Liantai militia, was very indifferent to money. After all, he was a rich and wealthy landlord, but he was only interested in some rare gadgets of the Japanese army, such as the regiment flags and military officers' guns. Command knives and other items, so the general officers and soldiers of the Liantai militia will present them sensibly after capturing the Japanese army's command knives.

Of course, Gao Hongming would not take it for nothing, and would always buy it at a price higher than the market price.

And today I actually captured a Japanese major. If Gao Hongming knew that he captured a major today, he would be very happy.

After capturing a major, both of them were very happy, but after they were happy, the problem came.

Ding Wei thought for a while, and suddenly found out with some embarrassment that the Shao Zuo seemed to be captured first by the Liantai militia.

After hesitating for a while, he poked Li Changan's arm a little embarrassedly, "Battle Commander Li, I have something to discuss with you."

"Officer Ding just say whatever you want." Li Changan didn't take it seriously, thinking that Ding Wei didn't want to speak out because of the seizure, so he said happily, "Just take whatever you like about the seized materials."

"No." The more straightforward Li Changan was, the more embarrassed Ding Wei became, and he was at a loss for words for a long time before he said, "That's... can you give me this prisoner."

"Give the captives to you?"

Li Changan was startled, then shook his head like a rattle: "Mr. Ding, if you want those captured guns and ammunition, you can just take them all away, but this prisoner is not good. Our group is still useful to the devil's captives." , this can't be allowed, if you have to, then we have to nod."

"Oh...that's fine."

Seeing Ding Wei's disappointed expression, Li Chang'an explained: "Mr. Ding, our regiment formed a Japanese National Salvation Army some time ago, and it is full of captured Japanese soldiers. It is short of manpower, so I really can't give this to you."

"You...have formed the Japanese National Salvation Army?" Ding Wei was surprised when he heard this, "How did Commander Gao think of forming this thing?"

"I don't know that." Li Chang'an smiled: "We don't dare to guess what the commander is thinking, just follow the order and just follow the order. Some time ago, our group also issued an order that the prisoners caught by the devil should be sent there as much as possible."

"In this case, why did your brothers kill the devil's wounded just now?"

Ding Wei said with some dissatisfaction that just now he saw with his own eyes that some militia soldiers actually stabbed the devil's wounded to death with bayonets. You must know that this is a violation of discipline in the Eighth Route Army. If he hadn't stopped the soldiers of the new regiment in time, Otherwise, the two sides will have a conflict.

Li Changan said indifferently: "Those are seriously injured devils. If you don't kill them, it will be a waste of medicine? Or is it that your new batch of medicine is too much to use up, and you want to give some to the little devils?"

Ding Wei stopped talking. Li Changan's words just now contained a lot of information. Gao Hongming actually formed a Japanese National Salvation Army?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

Japanese prisoners are notoriously difficult to catch. Countless battles have been fought in the War of Resistance, and the Eighth Route Army has captured only a few hundred prisoners.

Gao Hongming, a mere militia that has just been established for less than a year, at best captured more than ten or twenty prisoners, so he wanted to set up some kind of Japanese National Salvation Army. This guy did it purely to disgust the Japanese.

However, he still planned to ask Gao Hongming when he saw Gao Hongming, to see if they could hand over this major to them. After all, the captain of the major is already a mid-level officer, and it is still very useful to the Eighth Route Army.

…………

"Commander Gao...Brigade Commander...Great victory..."

While Li Chang'an and Ding Wei were leading their troops to clean up the battlefield, Gao Hongming and Brigadier Chen from Yushe County, tens of kilometers away, also received the good news.

"Okay... that's great!"

Brigadier Chen looked at the telegram sent by the staff, and couldn't help but be overjoyed because of his calmness, "The Xinyi Regiment fought well with the Armored Battalion, not only drove back the reinforcements of the 41st Division, but also ate them backhand A team of them.

Not only that, they also seized more than 1000 rifles and more than 30 light and heavy machine guns, and even captured more than 30 prisoners. This is a remarkable result. "

Political Commissar Wang also said happily, "We will report this good news to the head of the headquarters immediately."

"Old Wang, you are right...let's send a report to the headquarters immediately." Brigadier Chen would naturally not refuse such a good thing.

Unlike Brigadier Chen and Political Commissar Wang, Gao Hongming felt a little distressed.

"Three No. 20 tanks were damaged, a Lynx reconnaissance tank was blown up, four armored soldiers were killed, and more than [-] machine infantry companies were killed or injured."

Gao Hongming muttered the numbers, frowning a little. The loss of the tanks was second, but the loss of the armored soldiers made him feel very distressed.

Unlike ordinary infantry, it takes a lot of time and energy to train a qualified armored soldier. A position like a gunner even requires a certain cultural foundation, which is extremely troublesome to supplement.

It was Political Commissar Wang who first noticed something wrong with Gao Hongming's expression, and he played tricks on Brigadier Chen.

Brigadier Chen is such a shrewd person, he understood immediately after turning his head, and patted Gao Hongming on the shoulder: "Commander Gao, we also know the loss of your department. In order to cooperate with the new regiment, your department lost four vehicles." Tanks and dozens of soldiers, this loss is indeed not small, I wonder what our Eighth Route Army can do for you?"

Gao Hongming smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to help me with this. The loss of tanks comes second. What bothers me is the loss of armored troops. This is a technical branch, and it's very troublesome to replenish."

"Uh……"

Brigadier Chen was a little dumbfounded. Although the Eighth Route Army has grown to a scale of hundreds of thousands, it is really not easy to find someone who can drive a tank. They really can't help with this.

However, Gao Hongming just complained. Seeing Brigadier Chen's helpless appearance, he sighed and said, "Look at me, I'm being hypocritical again. There is no one who survives a war. I'm just lamenting that our huge China has Forty-five million people.

Liantai County, where I live, is considered a large county, with a permanent population of over 30, but it is so difficult to find a few people who have graduated from elementary school. "

Brigadier Chen also let out a long sigh: "Yes...the country has been weak for a hundred years, and we have a long way to go if we want to revitalize China."

Seeing Brigadier Chen's flicker of sadness, Gao Hongming was moved. If someone else said the truth, he must suspect that the other party was hypocritical, but for an older generation of proletarian revolutionaries like Brigadier Chen, he But I know that the other party's words must be sincere.

He couldn't help saying: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, our Huaxia will definitely benefit the forest of the world again, let alone elementary school students, even college students are everywhere."

Brigadier Chen couldn't help laughing, thinking it was Gao Hongming comforting himself, and said casually: "I'll borrow your good words. In fact, not to mention college students, I'm satisfied that [-]% of the people in the country have graduated from elementary school."

Hearing this, Gao Hongming couldn't help bursting into laughter. In later generations, it would be a curse to say that someone is a primary school student, but now, a person who has graduated from primary school can already be called a scholar in the local area.

The mood that was a little depressed because of the loss of three armored soldiers was also relieved a lot.

He pointed to the map and said: "Mr. Chen, Political Commissar Wang, look... After the reinforcements of the 41st Division were beaten back by us, they will definitely not dare to come out again in a short time. Now the only devil who has the courage to reinforce Yushe County is the right wing." Those strongholds are devils.

I think that although we don't have to worry about the arrival of a large number of reinforcements from the devils in the short term, I think that in order to avoid long nights and dreams, we should take down Yushe County as soon as possible, otherwise the longer the delay, the more variables will become. "

"Well……"

Brigadier Chen and Political Commissar Wang nodded at the same time. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee that there will be any changes. Since they have already repelled the reinforcements sent by the 41st Division, and they have taken advantage of it, they should accept it as soon as they see each other. Otherwise, if they continue to procrastinate, they may still be able to take advantage of it, but the risk will also increase exponentially.

"That's good... we can't wait any longer. It would be a joke if we let the cooked duck fly away. Order all the troops to attack the city and launch a general attack in an hour. This Yushe County should also be taken down."

"Old Kong...Old Li...the order from the brigade headquarters has come down, and the brigade commander ordered to launch a general attack on Yushe County in one hour!"

In a courtyard outside Yushe County that was blown down at a corner, Zhao Gangxing hurried in, and happily said to Li Yunlong, who was chatting with Kong Jie: "The news from the new regiment in charge of fighting on the left wing has come. Today, the Xinyi regiment and the armored battalion of the Liantai militia blocked the devils from the five brigades of the 41st division who came to reinforce them. It’s a great victory.”

Li Yunlong was the first to question: "What... That kid Ding Wei actually repelled the reinforcements from the five brigades of the little devil. Why do I not believe it?"

Kong Jie also said: "What bragging? How can we not know the level of the new regiment? I still believe that he can deal with a brigade of little devils, but against the strength of five brigades of devils, he can still drive the little devils away. Eating a large team, I am afraid that this scene did not happen in a dream."

It's no wonder that Li Yunlong and Kong Jie didn't believe it. The new regiment was brought out by Li Yunlong alone, and Li Yunlong knows its combat effectiveness best.

Although the combat power of the new regiment is good, its real combat power is actually about the same as that of a Japanese army brigade. If you really want to face the five Japanese brigades with almost 6000 troops, let alone eat up one of the opponent's brigades, you can retreat completely. That's fine.

"This is real."

Seeing that Li Yunlong and Kong Jie didn't believe his words, Zhao Gang became a little anxious, and shook the order in his hand: "Look, this is the battle report personally issued by the brigade headquarters, and the brigade commander also ordered to launch an attack on Yushe County an hour later. Make a general attack and strive to end the battle today."

Seeing Zhao Gang's swearing appearance, Li Yunlong took the battle report in his hand with some doubts, read it twice and then slapped his thigh: "I know, the key to that kid Ding Wei's victory lies in his high Brother's armored battalion...

I heard Brother Gao say that his armored battalion has dozens of tanks.Think about it, when dozens of tanks started to move together, what a momentum it was. The devils from the 41st Division came in a hurry and were rushed by dozens of tanks. It is estimated that their commander's first reaction must be to be beaten The troops surrounded.

Moreover, the Dulong Ridge is dangerous and a good place to set up an ambush, so he immediately ordered the retreat, which gave Ding Wei a big advantage. "

Li Yunlong is worthy of being a soldier with extremely rich experience in the battlefield, and he guessed the course of the battle with only one piece of battle report.

Kong Jie understood what Li Yunlong said, "Old Li, I also remembered what you said. Although I have never seen tanks charging, I have seen those tanks of Commander Gao. The gang weighs dozens of tons, and once it charges up, its posture is absolutely amazing, and it is not uncommon for the little devil to retreat hastily when he sees the situation is not good."

Li Yunlong said angrily: "Damn it, Ding Wei is really lucky, let him pick up such a big bargain, wipe out more than 300 enemies, such a big result is enough for him to be published in the newspaper, the head of the headquarters I still don't know how to reward him."

Kong Jie laughed, and pointed at him with a pipe: "Old Li, if you want to say that, why not apply to the head of the headquarters after this battle, and you and Ding Wei will have an exchange, and you will return to the new school again." Is this old troop of the regiment going to be the regiment leader?"

When Li Yunlong heard this, he jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Don't even think about it... My old Li has worked so hard to develop the independent group to its current size. Why should Ding Wei eat ready-made ones? He thought Beautiful!"

Kong Jie and Zhao Gang were delighted to see Li Yunlong's distraught look, and they laughed loudly.

Li Yunlong grumbled angrily for a while and then laughed. Under his painstaking management, after nearly half a year of development, the current strength of the independent regiment, not to mention the new regiment, is among the best in the entire 386 brigade .

Especially with the support of Gao Hongming, the big benefactor, the independent regiment has become a full-time armed force. Light machine guns have been equipped to the platoon, and each company has two heavy machine guns. Li Yunlong has also formed artillery companies and cavalry troops. Even, the number of people has reached more than 2000, and it is equipped with a radio station for the first time. Let alone the new regiment, even the old main regiments like 771 and 772 are far behind.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, Lao Kong, you should hurry back to your new second regiment, get ready, we will launch a general offensive, if you have anything to say, wait until we win Yushe County!"
