Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 159 The brigade commander feels more uncomfortable seeing me getting rich than losing money himself.

 When the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the New 2nd Regiment arrived on the battlefield and cooperated with the 769th Regiment and the 14th Regiment to attack the remnants of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade from within the county town, the balance of victory in this battle had completely tilted towards the Eighth Route Army.

Unless Benzi transforms into the Empire of the Rising Sun instantly and uses Tengu mechas and tsunami tanks to support Yangquan, these devils will have no choice but to die.

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

 At this time, a very small number of Japanese soldiers were still resisting in the residential area. These days I am still daydreaming, trying to use the familiar terrain and buildings to block the attack.

 But the People's Army has an indestructible mass base, and there are fellow villagers guiding the way on almost every street.

The soldiers picked out every hiding enemy as accurately as if they had drawn a map, and the little devils had no way to hide.

These infantrymen, who numbered less than a hundred and lacked heavy weapons, could not make any splash under the blanket search of three regiments.

As for those puppet troops who may have problems even if they fight with the wind, they naturally collapsed after seeing their wild father being beaten and losing his armor.

What's more, there are already a group of undercover agents of our army among these puppet troops.

 Normally, these comrades who endure humiliation can only send some information, but at this time they showed their power.

Attracted by Dai Zui's meritorious service, a few traitors who did not feel guilty directly aimed their guns at the military police in the city, disintegrating the last resistance force from within.

 After half an hour of scanning the map, not even a single Japanese hair existed in the entire Yangquan County.

With the tacit cooperation of the 1st Battalion of the New Second Regiment and the county guerrillas, the most important ammunition depot and granary of the 385th Brigade were successfully occupied without any danger.

 The news of the victory soon spread to the command post outside the city.

When Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang rushed to the granary to join the soldiers of the first battalion, they saw Zhang Dabiao smiling and chatting with a man with a crew cut from a distance.

This scene made them a little surprised.

As the first battalion commander and commando leader of the New Second Regiment, Zhang Dabiao always pretends to be stern, and he looks quite arrogant like a martial arts practitioner.

 But in the current communication atmosphere, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there must be something special about a man with a crew cut.

Seeing that his two chief officers finally arrived at the granary, Da Miao quickly took Duan Peng's arm and came to the group leader and political commissar, as if he was afraid that others would **** the treasure.

“Head of the regiment and political commissar, this is comrade Duan Peng of the guerrillas in our county.”

“Don’t be deceived by his honest appearance. When our commando team arrived here, this kid had already killed three Japs with his bare hands.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present focused their attention on Duan Peng. Even Wei Dayong from the back of the crowd squeezed out to get a closer look at this divine man.

The monk first looked at the flat-headed man in front of him with a somewhat questioning look. After all, the Japanese's hand-to-hand combat ability was generally not weak. But after just a few seconds, doubt turned to appreciation.

Considering that his team leader’s boxing and kicking skills were only half-experienced, Wei Dayong took the initiative to express his opinion.

“Captain, look at this young man’s neck. It’s almost as thick as mine. He’s definitely very strong in resisting blows.”

"Look at his hands again. The backs of them are black and have calluses. You can tell he is a master of foreign boxing."

Comrades in the New Second Regiment all recognized the monk's kung fu, especially Li Yunlong, who suffered a move of Pai Yun Palm from the front. Hearing that his guard gave such a high evaluation to the other party, Captain Li immediately started to recruit talents.

The brigade commander was mainly to blame for this incident. Ever since he heard about the fierce man who stabbed 27 Japanese soldiers to death with a spear in the Battle of Shentouling, Lao Li had always dreamed of having such a tiger general.

Although the monk is also very powerful, he himself said that he is not as good as Lu Bu in the army.

But it will be different if Duan Peng is absorbed into the new second group. Even if Wen Hou cannot be found, the combination of Xu Huang and Zhang Liao is still very strong! Who dares to say that five good generals cannot be on the stage!

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong no longer hesitated and immediately sent an invitation to join the new second group. A regiment commander is fully qualified to transfer a militiaman into a 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 man who killed the Japs Osaka Sakada Nobutetsu, he immediately said excitedly:

"Li Yunlong? You are Li Yunlong! Commander Li! I will work with you from now on! From now on, even if the knife is placed on the neck, there will be no ambiguity!"

 In this way, the new second regiment was pleased to mention Zhang Liao.

 While everyone was chatting happily, the inventory of the granary and ammunition depot was also successfully completed.

According to preliminary statistics from comrades, there are a full 500,000 rounds of bullets of various types here. There were also more than 5,000 rounds of grenades, mortars and mountain guns.

If Katayama Shoutaro hadn't used the mountain artillery brigade to bombard Shi Nao Mountain for a whole night, the number of artillery shells would have been at least doubled.

As the headquarters of the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade, the weapons in this ammunition depot can be said to be very complete.

Let’s not talk about the 38 big cover and crooked handle. Now that the Eighth Route Army’s rifle and light machine gun replacement work has come to an end, Zhang Wanhe will be scolded if he uses weapons of different calibers.

Even Huanghe began to use the military factories in the system to stock up on goods, preparing to find opportunities to support Fourth Master.

 After all, the eighth master has become rich, and the fourth master is also the armed force of the people, 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 a lot of spare parts for the heavy machine guns.

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

It is equipped with nine trucks and fuel. Although Xiaojiizi’s truck is not as powerful as the Citroen U23, it is still a rare treasure.

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

After reading the statistical data, Li Yunlong smiled so much that the corners of his mouth reached 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, perhaps the 386th Brigade could reasonably keep a small batch, but now it is obviously out of the question.

Although Li Yunlong himself didn't get much share, they still had their share in terms of 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 comfortable all over 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 from what we Lao Li captured, he will probably be unable to sleep for several days.”

“According to Huanghe’s saying, 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!”

Even though he knew that the brigade commander and Li Yunlong had a good relationship and the two had their own way of pulling each other off, Zhao Gang couldn't 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."

"Hurry up and check the casualties and troop consumption. We will have to strengthen the defenses later." "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 hit. 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.

"Which idiot is scolding me behind my back? If I find out, I will never end it 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 Regiment 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, the 769th Regiment left one company and the 14th Regiment left two battalions. The main force quickly moved towards the Zhengtai Railway and went all out to carry out the task of breaking the road.

 At eight 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:

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

　　————————

 September 4th, a French-style 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 soon Yichang was gone. 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.

Unfortunately at this moment, the Gaul chicken was killed by San Dezi. 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 Sino-Vietnam corridor was completely gone.

The Gui-Vietnam Highway, one of the passages, 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 war broke out, Guozhou devoted a lot of manpower to rebuilding the Guangxi-Vietnam and Hunan-Guangxi highways. Many new bridges and ferries have even been built, all to improve transportation capacity.

 But we are not stupid in our small days. It is impossible not to build this important transportation line. As a result, Nanning was lost, which cut off the Guiyue Highway, one of the passages.

At that time, there was only one Yunnan-Vietnam Railway left, but the supplies had not been transported for long before the Gaul Chicken was abandoned!

Although San Dezi and Benzi did not form a formal alliance, their relationship has always been ambiguous. After all, the Zeppelin aircraft carrier also referred to the original design drawing of the Akagi aircraft carrier. Who would believe it if I didn't know it?

So in June, Vichy Gaul Chicken accepted Xiaozhi’s request and directly closed the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway.

From then on, neither ordinary merchants’ goods nor military supplies could 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 bridges such as the Hekou Railway Bridge on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, demolished the rails, destroyed various highways between China and Vietnam, and stationed troops along the route.

There is only one Yunnan-Burma Road left. Naturally, Xiaozhi will not let go of this last passage in the southwest. They go directly to threaten Dai Ying.

 The situation with the British is not very good either. In May, we teamed up with Gallic Chicken for Dunkirk, and recently we have to prepare for the British Air War.

Tiandi Conscience, at that time, the Santoku Air Force was still very strong on paper, and it was superior in both quantity and quality.

At that time, Göring had not yet changed his name to Meyer, and this guy had not yet planted the flag and uttered the classic boast that no enemy bomber could reach the Ruhr Industrial Area.

If you are threatened by Xiaozhi at this time, you will definitely become timid.

  After all, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets has always been a naval power, and its army does not even have a royal prefix.

Our army can directly march into Southeast Asia. Who would be afraid of leading the British? This resulted in the last channel being cut off.

“Hey, the border-based policy is disgusting.”

 Originally there is a passage in the northwest, which is used by Dalinzi to support preserved fruits. But the problem is that after the fight between Mao Xiong and Benzi, they signed an armistice agreement directly.

Da Linzi no longer needs you, Baldhead, to help him contain Xiaoli on the frontal battlefield. This transportation line is basically useless.

“The Yellow River has finally caught up with the last wave.”

During this period, all international aid was cut off, which was really difficult for a fifty-three-year-old man. Judging from the industries he developed during his golden decade, domestic productivity was no different than furnishings.

 Pressures from multiple aspects have caused extremely low morale within the company. Some people have even discussed moving the capital again, preparing to trade space for time.

Just when the bald captain was feeling sad, 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 remained standing at attention and did not dare to move, as if the Zhejiang man in front of him was a fierce tiger that could rise up and injure anyone 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 department saw this opportunity and attacked decisively, inflicting a heavy blow on the enemy. I will give you a special telegram for commendation."

“In addition to instructing other war zones to actively attack in response to your troops’ operations, we still hope to instruct our troops to take active actions as soon as possible, not to give the enemy a chance to breathe, and to completely cut off its communications.”

 Obviously, the content of this telegram made the bald man feel some physical discomfort. He suppressed the disgust in his heart and waved to the staff officer, gesturing for him to send the telegram.

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

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

There will be more later, I will continue writing
