Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

Heiyun Village was still immersed in the joy of victory.

Late at night, Chen Yan was still tinkering with something in the room alone.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, and said with emotion:

"The Battle of Cangyunling will be held in a month, and it's time for me to show my face on the stage of northwest Shanxi."

Among the prominent figures in Northwest Shanxi, if you want to fight the Japanese, you have to rely on me, Chen Yan.

When the time comes, I will beat the Japanese so hard that they will call me daddy. Brother Yunlong, don't say that I am stealing your reputation.

Chen Yan quickly pulled his thoughts back to his senses.

"We urgently need to improve the combat effectiveness of our soldiers. With it, I feel more at ease."

After saying that, Chen Yan picked up a 7.92mm Hanyang bullet and looked at it repeatedly under the light of the candle.

"Disassemble the bullet and replace it with a rubber bullet, remove more than half of the primer and gunpowder, and it will be a simple training bullet."

"In this way, soldiers can conduct actual combat training during the exercise, which can not only improve their combat effectiveness and combat experience, but also minimize casualties."

"Heiyun Village also has its own production line, and the empty bullet shells can be picked up and refilled."

"My training costs almost nothing, and I don't believe that my soldiers can't defeat the Japanese."

Thinking of this, Chen Yan's little heart was filled with excitement.

The thought of being able to stand out in a big battle like the one at Cangyun Ridge and have a head-on fight with the Japanese made all the fatigue from days of continuous busyness disappear instantly.

For a whole night, Chen Yan stayed in front of the production line, repeatedly adjusting the amount of primer and was very busy.

The next morning, he had 2000 rounds of training ammunition carried to the Juyi Hall and called together officers and soldiers at all levels.

Chen Yan looked tired, but he still showed the dignity of a group leader and said seriously;

"Starting from today, Heiyun Village will officially launch a practical exercise to attack the stronghold."

"Li San and Huang Yi are the heads of the exercise director team respectively."

At this point, Chen Yan pointed to the ten boxes of training ammunition and said:

"The guns used in the exercise are tentatively Hanyang-made. These are special bullets. We can provide you with at least 3000 rounds every day in the future."

After saying that, Chen Yan picked up a training bullet and loaded it neatly into the Hanyang rifle.

Then the gun tip moved suddenly and aimed at the plaque of the Juyi Hall.

With a "bang", the bullet hit the target, followed by a dull sound of impact.

The plaque shook a few times, but was not broken into pieces. Only a white spot caused by friction was left.

At this time, everyone understood what Chen Yan meant by reducing the casualty rate to a minimum.

Huang Yi shouted excitedly:

"Oh my god, this bullet is so magical."

"No, it's the commander who is magical. If he lets the bullet kill people, it will kill them. If he lets it not kill people, it will behave itself and have no temper."

"Hahaha... Captain, don't worry. With this, I am confident that the soldiers' combat experience can be quadrupled."

At this time, Chen Yan interrupted Huang Yi and looked at him with interest:

"Hey, Huang Yi, you've been with me for a long time, and you've become more and more skilled at flattering me."

"It's no use saying anything else, I just want to get training results."

"The exercise has only one principle: we train day and night, and no one in the regiment is left behind."

"What I want is a force that dares to show its teeth to the Japanese and, when angry, dares to tear a piece of meat from the Japanese's thighs."

"Do you understand?".

Seeing Chen Yan's serious expression, their spines tingled.

"Yes, Commander."

The two of them answered in unison.

"The kitchen team is on call 24 hours a day to ensure the soldiers' food. There is no upper limit on the food standard. Don't cry poor to me. I will allocate 3000 yuan in cash for this exercise."

Hearing Chen Yan's words, not only the kitchen squad leader Lao Zhang, but everyone present gasped.

What happened to the team leader?

This is no ordinary training at all.

When things are abnormal, there must be something wrong. It seems that something big is about to happen.

At this point, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter and everyone was on high alert.

"Everyone start moving, the exercise officially begins!"

On the other side, the headquarters of the new 1st Regiment in Handan.

Li Yunlong walked around the room with his hands behind his back, unable to make up his mind.

Although Chen Yan was from the Military Control Commission, he was good at fighting and had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

It was indeed a bit reckless to squeeze him out before.

Heiyun Village fought well in this battle, and maybe the higher-ups will consider recruiting him.

This is a good thing for strengthening the Eighth Route Army.

But if the brigade commander knew that I had squeezed out this kind of talent before,

I will definitely be scolded.

Li Yunlong walked around the room several times like a donkey pulling a mill.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, slapped his thigh and said, "Go ahead and scold me, I don't need another beating."

"This matter must be reported to the brigade commander."

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong picked up the phone.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

The phone was busy all the time and Li Yunlong's palms were sweating.

At this time, a familiar and deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey, who's there?"

At this time, Li Yunlong was all smiles, and said with a humble look:

"Hey, Brigade Commander, I'm Xiao Li. How are you feeling recently?"

Li Yunlong is not afraid of anything except the brigade commander scolding his mother.

To be more precise, he truly respected the brigade commander from the bottom of his heart.

"Xiao Li...?".

"Li Yunlong, damn it, you've caused trouble for me again!"

The brigade commander roared at the top of his voice.

Hearing this, Li Yunlong got angry again, having long forgotten his guilty feeling just now.

"Who is it? He always reports me to the brigade commander."

To put it in modern terms, Lao Li has a typical defensive personality. No matter whether someone is right or wrong, he will draw his sword as long as someone attacks him!

"Stop accusing me. I'm just guessing. When the hell did you ever call yourself Xiao Li?"

"In your eyes, Li Yunlong, the sky is the boss, the earth is the second, and you are the third. Are you still Little Li?"

"Bah!".

The brigade commander had a way of dealing with Li Yunlong, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to keep this troublemaker under control.

At this time, Li Yunlong smiled bitterly:

"The brigade commander is right. In my eyes, the brigade commander is the heaven and the earth."

"Stop flattering me and get to the point. I don't have time to waste on talking to you."

Afterwards, Li Yunlong reported in detail the situation of Heiyun Village and his encounter with Chen Yan.

After hearing this, the brigade commander fell into deep thought for a long time before he spoke:

"Li Yunlong, your cautious attitude is correct."

"The Kuomintang spies have endless new tricks up their sleeves. Our party has paid a bloody lesson for this before, and we must learn from it."

"However, if Chen Yan is truly willing to join us, our party's policy has always been to actively strive for him."

"After all, there are many former Kuomintang members in our party who are now actively participating in the people's war. We cannot simply judge everything by one blow."

Li Yunlong understood and asked again:

"Brigade Commander, please tell us what we should do next."

"You must keep monitoring the Black Cloud Village at all times and find out the truth first."

"Yes, Brigade Commander, you are really far-sighted and thoughtful..."

Chen Geng hung up the phone halfway through Li Yunlong's flattery.

Old Li wiped the sweat from his head.

"I am taking the risk of being scolded and indirectly recommending Chen Yan to the brigade commander."

"If this brat knew about this, he would be so moved that he would serve me tea and water and give me two kilograms of liquor!"

Li Yunlong was laughing alone in the room.
