Check in from the bright sword

Zhao Gang couldn't help feeling a little disappointed after hearing this.

But Zhao Gang is a gentleman after all, and he didn't threaten him with life-saving grace.

Zhao Gang just said euphemistically: "It's a long way from here to Hexi, and you have to pass through the area heavily guarded by devils. It's not something that can be done in a day or two. Why don't you go to our independent group first?"

"You don't need to go here." Wei Dayong said bluntly, "Sir, I know what you mean, but your Eighth Route Army is too rustic and the equipment is too poor. I still want to go back to the Central Army."

"I didn't mean to be reluctant, I just invited the two of you to visit the independent group."

"Alright, let's go to the independent group to have a look." Wang Yan quickly agreed.

Seeing that Wang Yan had agreed to Zhao Gang, Wei Dayong had no choice but to agree: "That's fine."

……

After a night of nothing, the next morning, I finally arrived at Yangcun, the residence of the Independence Group.

The independent regiment rented a compound compound at the head of the village as the regiment headquarters. The door is the gatehouse. Now it has been changed into the dormitory of the regiment headquarters' guard company. Several guards and soldiers came out of the dormitory.

Wang Yan noticed that these guards were all wearing brand new cotton clothes.

However, his expression is a bit sluggish, which can be seen from Teng Tun Tun's movements.

Obviously, the entire independent group has not recovered from the previous defeat.

In the battle with the Yamamoto Secret Service, the Independence Regiment was beaten by a disparity of two hundred to zero, which caused a fatal blow to the morale of the Independence Regiment.

To put it bluntly, the spirit of the independent group has been beaten.

Zhao Gang first asked Wang Yan and Wei Dayong to rest in the dormitory of the guard company, and then went to see Li Yunlong.

After a while, a guard from the regiment headquarters came out and called them, saying that the political commissar invited them in.

Wang Yan and the two followed the guards to the backyard. When they entered the main room, there was a living room. Then they turned left and entered the bedroom. When they entered the door, there was a big pit next to the window. Two men sat in the pit, and Zhao Gang stood aside.

Two lines of small characters jumped out.

Li Yunlong, head of the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

Kong Jie, deputy head of the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

Zhao Gang pointed to Li Yunlong and Kong Jie respectively and said, "This is Captain Li and Deputy Commander Kong."

"Regimental Commander Li?" Wang Yan said, "There seems to be only one commander of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army whose surname is Li, Li Yunlong, the commander of the new regiment."

Zhao Gang hurriedly said: "I forgot to tell you, Captain Li has been transferred from the Xinyi Regiment to the Independent Regiment, and is now the head of the Independent Regiment."

"You are Li Yunlong, the head of the new regiment?" Wang Yan stood at attention, saluted Li Yunlong with a standard military salute, and said sincerely, "On behalf of our army commander, our division commander, and our division, I would like to die in battle. The more than 7000 brothers in the Xinkou battlefield say thank you to Commander Li, thank you for defeating the Bantian United and avenging us!"

"I also want to thank Captain Li." Wei Dayong's eyes lit up when he heard the words.

He had heard Li Yunlong's name in the prisoner-of-war camp, and a regiment defeated the Bantian United from the front.

"You two are..." Li Yunlong cast doubtful eyes at Wang Yan and the others.

Zhao Gang hurriedly said: "Wang Yan is the lieutenant company deputy of the 54th Division Guard Battalion of the Central Army. Their division commander is General Liu Jiaqi, and their army commander is General Hao Mengling. They both died in the Battle of Xinkou."

"The 54th Division was defeated by Bantian United in the Battle of Xinkou, with almost all casualties."

"Wang Yan was also captured because of his injuries, and he just escaped from the devil's prisoner-of-war camp."

"Wei Dayong was originally a sergeant squad leader in the 27th Division, and he just escaped from a prisoner-of-war camp."

After Zhao Gang finished speaking, Wang Yan said without losing the opportunity: "Commander Li, you have avenged our army commander, division commander, and more than 54 brothers of our 7000th Division. My life is yours!"

Wei Dayong said: "Captain Li, my life is yours too!"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "I heard from the political commissar that you two killed nine devils with your bare hands?"

"What's the matter." Wei Dayong said with disdain, "It's just nine devils, and it can be solved by urinating."

"It was just a fluke." Wang Yan said modestly, "If it wasn't for the devils who were worried that they would accidentally injure their own people, so the bullets in the gun chamber had not been ejected in advance, and the monk and I would definitely have to confess."

"Oh, by the way, I also want to thank Political Commissar Zhao for his support."

Zhao Gang let out a sigh and said, "Oh, by the way, Wang Yan is still a student of the [-]th Infantry Department of the Central Military Academy. Before joining the army, he practiced Shaolin Neijiaquan in his hometown in Dengfeng for many years."

"Wei Dayong has also been a monk in Shaolin Temple for ten years."

"No wonder, you are so skilled." Kong Jie said.

Li Yunlong's expression moved slightly: "A high-achieving student from the Central Military Academy?"

Chapter 5 Spike Squad

"I dare not take it." Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "I just went to military school for a few days."

Li Yunlong said: "Can you understand the map?"

Wang Yan nodded: "I understand."

Li Yunlong spread out the map on the table and said to Wang Yan, "Come and see."

Wang Yan took a step forward and saw an intersecting curve drawn on the map. This curve was centered on Yangquan, but it stopped abruptly after reaching Yangcun.

This is obviously the interspersed curve left by the Yamamoto special team.

This interspersed curve moves very coquettishly, but the drawing is very rough.

Wang Yan knew that Li Yunlong was testing him, so he deliberately said: "Commander Li, which staff officer drew this map? The work on the map is a bit rough, and the use of team marks and numbers does not comply with the regulations."

Li Yunlong said: "Then you can draw a new one for me now."

"No problem." Wang Yan picked up the square, compasses and pencils from the pit table and began to work on the drawing.

But in a moment, the originally rough interspersed curve was transformed into a standard interspersed curve schematic diagram by Wang Yan's hands.

However, the team number of the Japanese army that left this interspersed curve is still unmarked.

Because so far, the Eighth Route Army has not figured out the origin of this group of Japanese troops.

Although Wang Yan knew it, he wouldn't say much because he couldn't explain it.

Looking at the beautiful interspersed curves redrawn by Wang Yan, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up.

What does the Eighth Route Army lack the most?Lack of quilts, lack of food, especially weapons and ammunition, but these are not the most lacking, the most lacking are staff officers who have gone to military academy and understand the operations on the map!

If he had a good staff officer, how much trouble would he, Old Li, have saved?
