Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

Chen Yan and his team ran all night long, and only stopped to rest when they saw that they had completely shaken off the Japanese army.

Seeing Li Yunlong walking towards him, Chen Yan quickly stood up.

"My little brother, I see that you have extraordinary skills, and your military qualities and ability to control the battlefield are extraordinary."

"He can remain calm in the face of danger from the Japanese invaders, he must not be an ordinary person."

"In the northwest of Shanxi, the Central Army, Shanxi Suiyuan Army, Japanese Army, Puppet Army, and bandits are all intertwined. I don't know which side my brother belongs to."

This night's performance made Li Yunlong feel much more favorable towards Chen Yan, and his previous contempt was long gone.

Chen Yan was delighted to hear Li Yunlong's praise.

My idol is so polite to me, haha!

Even Li Yunlong has praised me, so I will have something to brag about in the future.

"Captain Li, you're too polite. Compared to you, the difference between me and you is like a sesame seed meeting a watermelon. The difference is huge."

"You may not know it yet, but it won't be long before your fame spreads throughout northwest Shanxi."

"If you stamp your feet, the land in northwest Shanxi will tremble."

"Your head is more valuable than that of Brigade Commander Chen of the 386th Brigade to the Japanese."

Chen Yan was so excited that he accidentally blurted out the words.

Li Yunlong just thought that this boy was flattering him, but he had no idea that what Chen Yan said was the truth.

Seeing someone praising him so much, he became a little too proud and raised his neck up to the sky.

Suddenly, Li Yunlong leaned down, put his head close to Chen Yan's ear, and said mysteriously:

"Brother, just tell this to your big brother later, and don't tell anyone else. Our brigade commander is notoriously petty. If he says that my head is more valuable than his, he will whip me."

After saying that, Li Yunlong laughed, patted Chen Yan on the shoulder, and gave him a look that said "you know".

At this time, Li Yunlong found Chen Yan more and more pleasing to his eyes. The two of them seemed to be very close, as if they had met too late.

Looking at the smug Li Yunlong, Chen Yan began to have some ideas.

I have nowhere to go now, so I might as well join Li Yunlong and kill the Japanese to my heart's content.

Among the influential people in northwest Shanxi, Li Yunlong is one of the few who follows the rules but does not abide by them.

By following such people, I will have more room for self-development in the future, and I will have the opportunity to compete with others in northwestern Shanxi and build a real career.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan made up his mind.

"Brother, please see whether I have the ability to serve you and make contributions to the country."

Hearing that there was a brainless fan who wanted to join him and had great skills, Li Yunlong laughed even wilder.

This kid is good at fighting, has brains, and is brave. When he gets angry, he even dares to beat me up...

He is indeed a good man. If I recruit him, I will have another powerful general. From now on, my New 1st Regiment will dare to fight against the Sakata Regiment.

What's more, this kid beat me up last night. If this gets out, where will I put my face?

However, if he was a member of the new regiment, it would be easy.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong put his arm around Chen Yan's shoulders.

"You and I really get along well. If you follow me, I'll make you a battalion commander. We'll be a family from now on."

Li Yunlong actually agreed to let me work with him. It would be worth it even if I die in this life.

If I could personally witness Cangyunling destroying the Bantian regiment with one shot, the bloody battle at Lijiapo, and the encirclement of Ping'an County...

As he thought about it, Chen Yan couldn't help but blurt out: "Fuck, I must do it with you."

Li Yunlong was very satisfied with Chen Yan's answer and smiled:

"Okay, okay, brother."

"By the way, who are you?"

Chen Yan cleared his throat and said, "Captain Li, I am a graduate of the 14th class of Whampoa Military Academy. I work in the Taiyuan Group of the Shanxi Station of the Military Control Commission. Because of a traitor, the entire Shanxi Station was..."

The original owner of the world of Bright Sword, Chen Yan, was not an incompetent person. He graduated from the 14th class of the Whampoa Military Academy and was among the best in firearms, intelligence, and physical fitness.

However, due to being squeezed out by party disputes, he has been staying in the General Affairs Office, feeling frustrated...

Chen Yan has now completely merged with the original owner, and therefore, the original owner's strength and memory are all under his control.

Chen Yan was talking to himself, but he didn't notice that Li Yunlong's face was getting uglier.

Li Yunlong was furious and said: "Okay, I know about the Military Control Commission's affairs. Wasn't it just that the Japanese wiped out their entire nest? He is a stray dog."

"What a bullshit Whampoa students and Military Control Station."

"Aren't you just Chiang Kai-shek's student and Dai Li's dog? You think you can get along with me? You must be a dog spy planted by the Kuomintang."

At that time, Chen Yan thought that with his resume, he would be a popular person wherever he went, but he didn't expect that he would become a piece of shit in front of Li Yunlong.

Looking at the furious Li Yunlong, Chen Yan couldn't control his temper anymore.

Although you are an old member of the Red Fourth Front Army and were bullied by Chiang Kai-shek in the past, the Kuomintang always likes to make small moves openly or secretly.

But why do you scold me?

I've only been here a few days, and I've either been chased and beaten by the Japanese or been scolded like a grandson by you.

I'm not a soft persimmon. I'll give you a squeeze whenever you ask me to.

Looking at Li Yunlong who was still defeating Ma Zhang Fei, Chen Yan felt embarrassed.

"Li Yunlong, you really are a dog-faced person. You change your mind as soon as you say so."

"I just saved your life, and you just pulled up your pants and ignored me!"

"Aren't you just a bamboo basket weaver in Dabie Mountains? Why are you so proud of me? You tell others everywhere that you are a handsome young man, and there are so many people who want to propose marriage to you that they have broken down the door of your house. Bah, look at your big brain, you are so shameless."

"I respect you as a hero who fought against the Japanese invaders. I sincerely want to join you, but you don't take me seriously."

"We will never meet again in the underworld. If we meet again, I will scold you every time I see you."

Chen Yan cursed and left with Li San without looking back.

Only Li Yunlong was left disheveled in the wind, "Hey, this kid knows a lot."

"It's more interesting to call a donkey the one that can kick its head."

The young soldier at the side walked up and said, "Captain, the blind date really kicked down the door of your house."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong put on a bitter face again: "Go away, your hair hasn't even grown out yet, why are you making trouble? Reorganize your men and go back to the regiment."

After Chen Yan took Li San away, the two walked forward angrily.

Li San quickly asked: "Brother, where are we going next?"

Yes, where should we go now?

Li Yunlong was so embarrassed that his face turned hot.

I would like to join the Eighth Route Army, but Li Yunlong is right, everyone will suspect that I am a spy.

If I go and beg for shelter, not only will I be rejected, but I might even be kicked out.

Central Army? Shanxi-Suiyuan Army? Forget it.

I am still carrying the title of the Military Control Commission. Not to mention in the Eighth Route Army, even in the Kuomintang, this identity is infamous.

In that case, you might as well go to the Eighth Route Army and sit on the bench.

Go back to the Military Control Commission? Pah! I have no power or influence, and if I go back I will have to retire in the General Affairs Office. Then wouldn't it be a waste for me to travel through time?

If I don't kill tens of thousands of Japanese devils, I will never be able to go back in my lifetime.

Well... that leaves us with one last option. As the saying goes, a good blacksmith must be strong himself.

Since the regular army is not enough, we have to take unconventional measures.

I might as well seize territory and raise my own armed forces.

Chen Yan pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered the group of bandits who had killed Monk Wei.

Heiyun Village is a Feng Shui treasure land that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If I can take down these bandits, I will have people, guns and territory.

When the time comes, no one can strip me just because they want to.

The more he thought about using Black Cloud Village as the first step in development, the more feasible it seemed to him.

Chen Yan pondered for a while and said firmly: "Heiyun Village".

"Brother, why does this sound so much like a bandit's den?" Li San said with a bit of disgust.

"Yes, it is a bandit's den, and a bunch of unlucky bandits at that."

Chen Yan vaguely remembered that after Xie Baoqing's men shot and killed Wei Heshang, they touched Li Yunlong's reverse scale. The independent regiment took less than an hour to wipe out this group of bandits.

"Brother, why do we have to go to the bandit's lair?"

"I don't want to go back to the Kuomintang. The Eighth Route Army doesn't think highly of me. If I don't want to be a bandit, what other choice do you have?"

"Okay, I get it now".

The two men passed by a puppet army checkpoint. Chen Yan, who was still furious after being scolded by Li Yunlong, went over, pulled out his gun and killed a platoon leader. The other five or six puppet soldiers knelt down and surrendered.

The two men stole two horses and sped away.

After riding for a day and a night, the two arrived near the border between Shanxi and Hebei.

That’s right, this is the Black Cloud Village, the Line of Sky.
