Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

When Chen Yan was leading his men back to Heiyun Village, he suddenly thought of Ding Wei again.

This batch of military horses has just arrived in Wanjia Town, and Ding Wei probably doesn’t know about it yet.

There are still a lot of military horses in Wanjia Town. I can't eat them all anyway, so I might as well do them a favor and make friends with Ding Wei.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan gave some instructions to Huang Yi, and took Gouwazi on horseback to the headquarters of the 28th Regiment of the Hebei-Central Military Region.

After some inquiries, Chen Yan arrived at the entrance of Ding Wei's regiment headquarters early in the morning.

After the young soldier at the gate reported to Ding Wei, Ding Wei became suspicious.

"Black Cloud Village? Xie Baoqing's people? I have never dealt with them."

At that time, the policy of the Eighth Route Army was to unite all anti-Japanese forces.

Ding Wei was also very curious about Chen Yan's purpose.

"Go and bring the person in."

After a while, Chen Yan came in with the dog.

Ding Wei was shocked to see Chen Yan's dignified and extraordinary appearance.

"You are Mr. Xie's man. What can I do for you?"

Ding Wei asked politely.

Chen Yan bowed with both hands, very modestly.

"Captain Ding, my name is Chen Yan, and I am the commander of the Heiyunzhai Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army."

"Master Xie was murdered by the villains in Black Cloud Village. I am now in charge of Black Cloud Village."

"What? The Black Cloud Village Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army."

Ding Wei was shocked after hearing this.

The bandits have become so smart that they have even set up an anti-Japanese armed force.

Chen Yan also saw what Ding Wei was thinking, but did not point it out. He continued with a smile.

"Captain Ding, I am also of Chinese descent. In this moment of national crisis, I also have a sincere heart to serve my country."

At this moment, Ding Wei's eyes widened even more.

This person's conversation and behavior are extraordinary. When did such a person appear in the northwest of Shanxi?

Ding Wei quickly regained his composure and no longer dared to look down on Chen Yan.

"Captain Chen, what instructions do you have for my 28th Regiment this time?"

"I have heard of Captain Ding's great name for a long time and I have great respect for him."

"This time, one is to make friends, and the other is to give Captain Ding an opportunity."

"What chance?"

"I want to give Captain Ding a cavalry battalion?"

"Cavalry Battalion! Where is it, brother?"

At this time, Ding Wei's eyes lit up and he addressed her in a more cordial manner.

Chen Yan sighed inwardly:

"Li Yunlong's evaluation is so accurate. Ding Wei is really a guy who will not do anything without profit, and now he starts to call him brother."

Chen Yan also continued speaking along with what Ding Wei said.

"Brother Ding, the cavalry battalion of the 8th Mixed Brigade arrived at Wanjia Town, Zhengtai Road three days ago to change guard."

"You know the combat effectiveness of the puppet army."

"Isn't this a young lady delivered to your doorstep? Wouldn't it be a waste if you don't want her?"

After saying that, Chen Yan gave Ding Wei a look that said, "You understand."

After hearing this, Ding Wei was overjoyed.

"Brother, there is one thing I don't understand. Why did this good thing happen to me?"

Chen Yan, who comes from a business family, knows all too well what social etiquette is.

I am nice to you, I must have some ulterior motive!

Chen Yan thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.

"Captain Ding is a veteran since the Red Army days, and I have long wanted to make him my acquaintance."

"Although our Black Cloud Village Volunteer Army is weak, we are also a team that fights against the Japanese. To use the words of your Eighth Route Army, we can also be considered friendly forces."

"I know that Captain Ding is in urgent need of this batch of military horses, so I came here to tell you."

At this time, Ding Wei also understood Chen Yan's purpose.

He looked Chen Yan up and down, thinking:

What he said about being in urgent need was just an excuse. It seems like he really wants to be friends with me.

Thinking of this, Ding Wei said with a smile:

"Thank you for your kindness, Captain Chen. I would be honored to accept it."

After Chen Yan gave the instructions, he rushed back to Heiyun Village without staying for long.

After Chen Yan left, Ding Wei immediately sent people to Wanjia Town to inquire.

The situation the investigator reported to Ding Wei was consistent with what Chen Yan said.

"Captain, I also found out that the New 60st Regiment launched a surprise attack on the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion last night and stole more than military horses."

The deputy head of the group said at this time:

"The cavalry battalion that just changed its guard has become popular so quickly, and the new regiment has taken action first."

Hearing this, Ding Wei narrowed his eyes and began to think.

"I understand Li Yunlong's character. He would share the meat that is right in front of him with others."

"If it was done by the New 1st Regiment, it would have swallowed up the entire cavalry battalion."

Suddenly Ding Wei understood.

"This kid Chen Yan is hiding something from us. He was the one who attacked Wanjia Town last night."

"He has a small appetite and can't eat a whole battalion, so he did me a favor."

The deputy head asked doubtfully:

"Then why does he use Li Yunlong's name?"

Ding Wei had a look of understanding:

"Don't be fooled by this boy's gentle appearance, but I can see from his eyes that he is definitely a proud and arrogant person."

"Heiyun Village is near the defense zone of the New 1st Regiment. I guess they are not on the same page with Li Yunlong and want to trick him."

The deputy head suddenly realized, "Captain, this matter is too complicated."

"I think it is necessary to report to my superiors and inform the 129th Division."

Hearing this, Ding Wei quickly waved his hands.

"No, absolutely not."

“Once I report this, how much of this fat piece of meat of the Cavalry Battalion can I get?

The big share will be taken away by my superiors, I can’t do business at a loss.”

"I think this kid is very understanding and is friendly to me. He will definitely not do anything that is detrimental to the Eighth Route Army. Li Yunlong will definitely be fine."

"Besides, Li Yunlong is a arrogant kid, it's time for someone to deal with him. I might as well just watch the fun."

After saying that, Ding Wei looked at the deputy head with a wicked smile on his face.

After Chen Yan returned to Heiyun Village, he spent every day in the training ground.

The training went very well. In just three days, the soldiers were already in good spirits.

Just as Chen Yan was thinking, Gou Wa came running over from a long distance.

"Captain, the guy who got away with something for free in the mountains a few days ago is here again."

When Chen Yan heard about prostitution, he was overjoyed.

This bastard must be sending me equipment.

"Let's go and welcome the God of Wealth."

Seeing Li Xianren and his group entering the mountain village, Chen Yan stepped forward to greet them with a smile.

"Commander Li, thank you for your hard work along the way."

"Boss Chen, you're too polite. Brother, I mean what I say. The equipment of an entire reinforced battalion is yours."

Having said that, Li Xianren ordered his men to open ten trucks of equipment, which made Chen Yan's eyes sparkle.

"My Type 99 light machine gun and Type 92 heavy machine gun are so awesome!"

"Oh my god, there's still oil on this Type 97 mortar, it's so brand new."

"Hey, that's not right. I only want two doors, why are there four?"

Li Xianren stiffened his neck and said, "Brother, how can I let you down?"

"General Shinozuka has to give face to our brother-in-law if he says so."

Chen Yan felt so happy at this moment. He looked at Li Xianren with a half-smile and thought:

"I sold this guy, and he even counted the money for me. He's so thoughtful."

Chen Yan waved his hand and said, "Brothers, unload the car."

After a long time, Chen Yan didn't mention the 40,000 yuan in cash, which made Li Xianren a little anxious.

At this time, when Chen Yan's men were preparing to unload the last five large boxes from the truck, Li Xianren suddenly stopped them with a big hand.

"Brother Chen, according to our previous agreement, you can keep one of these five boxes of cash, and you don't need to unload the other four. I will take them away directly."

Chen Yan didn't expect that Li Xianren would actually bring all the 50,000 yuan in cash.

He was only thinking about weapons and ammunition, and thought that Cai Xiongfei and Li Xianren had directly withheld the money.

Unexpectedly, they actually delivered it.

How can I let the duck that has already come to my mouth fly away?

Then am I not an idiot!
