The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 137 The Brigadier's Promise
Yoshio Shinozuka of the First Japanese Army Headquarters in Taiyuan had confirmed that the Fujiwara brigade had been wiped out, Yangquan county had been looted, and the Eighth Route Army had left nothing but corpses and empty warehouses.

Seven or eight hundred tons of materials, weapons and ammunition is not a small amount. If all of them fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, it will definitely greatly improve their combat.

After the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness becomes stronger, the difficulty for the Shanxi garrison to destroy them will also increase exponentially.

This was the last thing he wanted to see.

Almost all the aviation troops stationed in Taiyuan were sent out by him to find the Eighth Route Army transport team.

In the absence of transport trucks, it is almost impossible for the Eighth Route Army to return the seized goods to the base area within a few hours, so most of the materials, equipment and ammunition lost in Yangquan County are still on the way.

Just find them, destroy them...

I can minimize the influence of losing Yangquan, and I can use the results of defeating the three main regiments of the Eighth Route Army in the battle of Lijiapo to block the mouths of my superiors.

"I found it... Your Excellency, Commander, the Eighth Route Army transport team has news!" The chief of staff rushed all the way into the war room to report.

Pointing to a line on the sand table, he said, "Aviators found a large number of Eighth Route Army transport convoys on this mountain road, stretching for nearly [-] kilometers... and also found a large number of mules and horses in the convoy...all of them were loaded with weapons, ammunition and supplies..."

"Great..." Shinozuka Yoshio punched the sand table with his fist, and opened his mouth to give orders.

"Notify the air force that all planes should go to this area to assemble, and bomb the target when they see it. Don't be afraid of wasting bombs... Then transfer all the troops stationed nearby to block them at all costs!"

Seeing Chief of Staff Xing hurried out of the war room, Shinozuka Yoshio finally eased his nerves that had been tense for several hours, he sighed and said, "I hope there is still time!"

On the edge of the base of the Independent Regiment, Li Wensheng, the chief of staff, stood on the high ground looking forward to it, with a very anxious expression on his face.

The head of the regiment made it very clear in the telegram that the first transport team will return to the base at [-]:[-] in the morning...

It had been half an hour now, and he hadn't seen the shadow of the transport team yet, so he couldn't help but feel nervous, for fear that something might happen to them.

I studied the retreat route twice against the map, but found no danger, so I could only stay here and wait...

"Chief of Staff, the transportation team is back..." The scout who went into the mountain to meet him ran towards him panting. Before he arrived, the sound of excited reports had already come!
"The reconnaissance company came back... brought back two hundred mules and horses, all of which were weapons and ammunition..."

Li Wensheng raised his binoculars and saw several scouts appearing at the mountain pass, with rifles in their hands, very vigilant...

After confirming that there was no danger ahead, the team of mules and horses entered Li Wensheng's field of vision.

"The first company of the new barracks is ready to respond... As soon as the reconnaissance company arrives, the mules and horses they brought back will be sent to the predetermined area, and the equipment and ammunition will be stored in different categories. Without orders from me and the regiment leader, no one can approach those weapons and ammunition!"

"The cooking class hastened to deliver the prepared hot meals..."

"The attacking troops must be tired and hungry after fighting continuously. After finally returning to the base area, they must eat well, drink well, and rest well!"

The reconnaissance company is not only the first unit of the assault force to return to the base area, but also undertakes the task of pioneering the way to ensure that the follow-up transport team can return to the base area safely.

As soon as they came back, the follow-up troops entered Li Wensheng's field of vision one after another.

"Chief of Staff... The attacking force has sent back [-] mules and horses... They are all weapons and ammunition... How many good things did the regiment commander capture in Yangquan!" Yang Wanhe, the battalion commander of the new army battalion, took the time to run to Li Wensheng with emotion.

"Too much?" Li Wensheng asked with a smile.

"No... No matter how many weapons and ammunition the regiment leader brings back, I won't be too many... I've never seen so many weapons and ammunition, so I'm happy!"

"Then I'll show you the truth!" the chief of staff said.

"The trophies you see are just the beginning, and there will be more in the future..."

"Let the soldiers cheer up..."

"These seizures are not only related to the future of our independent regiment, but the entire [-]th brigade will also benefit!"

"Everyone must be more vigilant and store the trophies in different categories. There must be no accidents!"

"Li Wensheng...the chief of staff and I couldn't help coming over when we saw the telegram sent by Kong Jie...It's almost twelve o'clock, is the transport team back?" The brigade commander's voice came over suddenly, scaring Li Wensheng Big jump.

"Hello, Brigadier...Hello, Chief of Staff..." Li Wensheng welcomed the arrival of the Brigadier, with a particularly bright face.

There are so many main regiments in the [-]th Brigade, and the brigade commander didn't go anywhere else, so he came to the independent regiment, which shows that the independent regiment is deeply trusted by the brigade commander, and reported quickly.

"Five transport teams have come back..."

"The reconnaissance company came back first, carrying two hundred mules and horses...the next four patrols carried a hundred mules and horses!"

"The trophies received so far are all weapons and ammunition. There are three to four thousand shells alone, and there are also a large number of unopened rifles and heavy machine guns..."

"Regimental Commander, another transport team has returned!" The recruit battalion reconnaissance platoon leader reported from a long distance away.

"The third company of the recruit battalion went over to meet them...the cooking team prepared hot meals and hot dishes... hurry up!" Li Wensheng ordered in an orderly manner.

"Let's go and have a look!" The brigade commander said with interest.

On the mountain road, more than a dozen soldiers guarded with guns, and more than [-] soldiers led mules and horses...

Five mules and horses were strung together with ropes, led by a soldier, and walked slowly towards the base...

Every soldier is staring at a pair of red eyes, very tired, strenuously walking forward, falling asleep...

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and lead the mules and horses... Take them there to eat and sleep..." Li Wensheng hurriedly greeted the troops behind him.

After more than [-] soldiers were taken away, the brigade commander turned his attention to the mules and horses...

"They are all good things!" The brigade commander patted the box on the horse's back with emotion.

Yang Wanhe, the battalion commander of the new army battalion, has already taken care of several transport teams. He knew what kind of box contained what kind of ammunition, so he hurried over to introduce: "Chief..."

"This kind of long box is filled with [-] big lids..."

"Five pieces in one box... This transport team brought back a total of one hundred [-] caps..."

Seeing that the brigade commander nodded in satisfaction, Yang Wanhe pointed to another box and continued to introduce: "This is filled with mortar shells, ten shells in a box..."

"This transport team brought back a total of forty boxes of four hundred shells each..."

"The smaller box contains [-]-caliber rifle ammunition...[-] rounds in a box...there are forty boxes of [-] rounds in all..."

"And here..."

The brigade commander listened and watched, when a figure suddenly entered his field of vision, and then hurriedly walked towards him!

"Comrade Huang Yu... when did you come here..."

"What about the armored vehicle and troop carrier that Kong Jie asked you to drive back? Are there any problems?"

"Report to the chief, the assault platoon successfully completed the task..." Huang Yu replied proudly.

"Three armored vehicles, three troop carriers... all returned to the base intact!"

"I also brought back more than [-] catties of oil...in order to avoid the little devil's aerial detection...I hid them when I returned to the base area, and sent two squads to protect them, and drove back to the station after dark!"

Chief of Staff Zhou of the brigade headquarters was delighted after hearing this: "Great, from now on, our [-]th Brigade will also have its own armored force!"

Then he stared at Huang Yu and praised without hesitation: "Comrade Huang Yu, your assault platoon has done a great job!"

"The last time we fought against the Yamamoto Secret Service, the brigade commander decided to reward you with dozens of submachine guns..."

"I'll be the master this time too. Feel free to ask for any rewards you want, as long as I can do it, I will promise you!"

"What the chief of staff means is what I mean..." The brigade commander answered with a smile, in a very good mood.

"Our Eighth Route Army pays attention to rewards for meritorious service. Your kid has made such a great contribution in this raid, and the brigade must reward you!"

"Don't be embarrassed, just ask for it!"

Huang Yu's mind immediately came alive.

It took me a lot of effort to persuade the regiment leader to bring the three armored vehicles back to the base, otherwise they would have been blown to pieces.

The main purpose of doing this is to deal with the upcoming May [-]st raid by the devils...

According to the original direction of "Bright Sword", both Li Yunlong and Kong Jie will suffer heavy losses in this battle.

In particular, Sun Desheng's cavalry company was directly defeated by the Japanese cavalry regiment.

If the Independence Regiment had three armored vehicles to help out in this sweep, Huang Yu was confident that he would help Kong Jie break out of the encirclement of the Japanese and puppet troops with the least cost, and by the way, kill the cavalry regiment, which is the devil's domineering force, and reduce the pressure on other troops to fight back.

After the brigade commander finished speaking, the first thought that popped up in his mind was to leave the armored vehicle in the assault platoon.

Otherwise, in the style of the regiment leader, the armored vehicle will definitely be handed over to the brigade headquarters.

His mind was running fast, analyzing the chances of the brigade commander agreeing to himself.

Although the armored vehicle is powerful, it also has great limitations. This is the main reason why the regiment leader wants to blow up the armored vehicle after capturing it.

To put it more directly, an armored vehicle is a powerful foe in the eyes of the Eighth Route Army...

Even if the head of the regiment turns over to the brigade headquarters, the brigade head will not be of much use, it is better to stay in the assault platoon.

The more I thought about it, the more confident I became, and I immediately proposed to the brigade commander: "Chief, I want the three armored vehicles that the assault platoon just brought back from Yangquan!"

"No problem..." Chief of Staff Zhou agreed without hesitation.

"Although the armored vehicles are very powerful, they have little effect on our Eighth Route Army and will affect the mobility of the troops. They can only play a role in some local battles. The meaning of staying in the independent regiment is the same as turning over to the brigade headquarters!"

"But if other troops need to borrow armored vehicles, the assault platoon must be on call!"

Huang Yu didn't expect the chief to agree so happily, so he quickly replied: "Please rest assured, chief, the assault platoon is a member of the Eighth Route Army, as long as there is a need, we will definitely kill it as soon as possible!"

"I have one more request!" The brigade commander said suddenly!

"When the battle is over, I will ask the regiments to transfer some soldiers to the assault platoon to learn how to drive armored vehicles... I can use the armored vehicles that I capture in the future, instead of blowing them up and wasting them like before."
