Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

The commander smoked a cigarette and listened to the chief of staff's analysis.

"Commander, our Eighth Route Army is currently lacking decent military talents, especially military commanders like Chen Yan who have attended regular military academies and are knowledgeable."

"And look at this guy, he sneaked into Qingshan Town quietly, did such a big thing, and came out unscathed. I guess the enemy has just reacted now. Such a person is really rare."

"Kong Jie is also a veteran of the Fourth Front Army, and he is full of experience. But why did Yamamoto end up in such a mess while Chen Yan caused a big disturbance in Qingshan Town? This is very telling."

"He is courageous, strategic, and knowledgeable, not to mention his ability to lead troops in battles. Therefore, I think Chen Yan is the most suitable candidate to lead the independent regiment."

The commander laughed as he heard the chief of staff praising Chen Yan generously.

"Chief of Staff, what kind of magic potion did this kid Chen Yan give you? Look how much you pamper him."

"Okay, although this kid's identity is a bit special, but in wartime, we are not restricted to using talents."

"However, this kid is quite courageous. Let's leave him alone for a few days to temper his temper."

"Let him stand guard in the yard for me all day today, and then I'll let him go in the evening."

"By the way, let the guard inform everyone that no one can talk to him today. See if he is in a hurry."

"Haha, just listen to the commander."

At the same time, at the gate of the Qingshan Town POW camp, Yamamoto Ikki looked at the corpses on the ground with anger.

"Captain, I just checked and found that one of our team members is still missing."

"Damn it, he must have been captured by Chen Yan."

Yamamoto Ikki came to the telecommunications room again, looked at the words left by Chen Yan on the wall, and said with gritted teeth:

"Chen Yan, you are challenging me. I will definitely tear you into pieces."

......

Chen Yan squatted in the yard of the headquarters, bored, with only Zhang Dabiao beside him.

Just now, the brigade commander was also called into the room by the chief of staff.

At this time, Chen Yan was feeling very nervous and confused.

Chen Yan tried to ask the staff coming in and out of the headquarters about the situation in the house, but no one responded. They just glanced at him and left.

Chen Yan looked at Zhang Dabiao awkwardly and had no choice but to start chatting.

"Da Biao, when are you planning to return to the New 1st Regiment? Don't worry, I will talk to the brigade commander in person when the time comes."

After Chen Yan's performance last night, Zhang Dabiao was completely impressed by him.

Zhang Dabiao looked at Chen Yan and kept muttering to himself.

To be honest, I really want to stay in Heiyun Village.

It’s so fucking fun to follow Chen Yan.

But how can I explain this to the old captain? I can't let anyone poke me in the spine and call me ungrateful!

Seeing Zhang Dabiao in a dilemma, Chen Yan smiled and put his arms around Dabiao's neck.

"I admire your loyalty. Can't you let go of Captain Li?"

"However, you must remember that you are first and foremost a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, not a slave of some wealthy landlord."

"Besides, Captain Li is no longer in the New First Regiment. If you still want to follow him, you can only operate a sewing machine."

"You chose one: embroidering and the other: fighting the Japanese. You can choose it yourself."

At this time, Zhang Dabiao was deeply moved by what Chen Yan said.

Yes, following the old leader, I can only operate the sewing machine.

I don't know how to do that, unlike Captain Li who has experience in weaving baskets and has a good foundation.

Zhang Dabiao was still immersed in his thoughts. Chen Yan's eyes turned and he said again:

"So, if Li Yunlong is reinstated one day, I won't stop you from leaving if you want to."

"real?".

Zhang Dabiao was very surprised. Now he no longer had to be in a dilemma.

Chen Yan smiled and said: "That's right, when you want to leave, I will personally send you to the warm arms of Captain Li."

In fact, Chen Yan had other plans in mind.

Hehe, I'll trick you into getting it first.

The eagle is locked in a cage. If you want to fly out, doesn't it mean I have the final say?

Chen Yan was so bored the whole afternoon that he picked up a big tripod in the yard.

At this time, Gouwazi and Huang Yi brought a few horses to the headquarters gate, with the horses carrying a lot of things.

When Chen Yan saw this, he quickly said, "Send them all to the kitchen quietly and tell the head cook that it is the commander's order to improve the food tonight."

That’s right, Chen Yan ordered people to go back to Heiyun Village and ask the kitchen to kill a pig and send it to the head of the headquarters.

Chen Yan stared at the door of the operations room and muttered quietly:

"As the saying goes, one who has eaten the food should be grateful. I don't think the leader has the nerve to scold me this time."

At night, the operations room was brightly lit and bustling with people.

At this time, the commander, chief of staff and brigade commander were discussing their work in front of the battle map.

Only then did the guard bring dinner to the leader.

"Chief, the food has been heated up several times. You three leaders should eat first."

"Just leave it there, we'll eat it later."

After hearing this, the guard didn't say anything else. He put it down and walked out.

As the commander spoke, he picked up his bowl and started eating.

"Chief of Staff, the Japanese forces are still the most powerful in the northwest of Shanxi. We have had a hard time in the past two years. The soldiers often don't have enough to eat. As a result..."

The commander was talking as he ate, and suddenly felt that something was wrong with today's food.

He lowered his head and looked into the bowl, "Huh? Where did the meat come from?"

Then he called the guards and scolded them:

"Didn't I tell you not to give me any special treatment? I eat what the soldiers eat. Where does this meat come from?"

"Go and call Fatty Wang for me. I want to ask him why the cook squad leader is so powerful now and dares to disobey my orders."

At this time, Chen Yan, who had been hiding outside the door, secretly poked his head out and looked at the commander with a grin.

"Commander, please don't look for Sergeant Wang. I got the meat. If you want to scold me, just scold me."

The Chief of Staff asked with great interest:

"Where are you from? The Japanese have imposed a strict blockade in the past two years, and they often launch large-scale raids. We rarely get to eat meat."

Chen Yan said even more proudly:

"Isn't this what we learned from the leaders in Yan'an? To actively develop the base area. We in Heiyun Village should raise pigs and grow vegetables ourselves and be self-sufficient?"

"And this time we brought a whole pig to the headquarters, so everyone got to eat the braised pork. This is not just special treatment for a few leaders."

"We in the Eighth Route Army believe in equality between officers and soldiers. I understand that."

As he spoke, Chen Yan winked at everyone.

Hearing this, the leaders' expressions softened.

The chief of staff praised: "You always surprise us. Black Cloud Village has even launched a 'mass production campaign'."

"Commander, didn't the Chairman once say 'work hard and you will have enough food and clothing'? Don't get so angry."

When the commander heard this, he waved at Chen Yan.

"You little brat, get out of here quickly and don't hang around in front of me. I'm confused just by looking at you."

Hearing that the commander let him go, Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief and ran away without even saying goodbye.

The commander was a little amused and said, "Chief of Staff, this guy is always unexpected."

The Chief of Staff said lightly:

"Commander, Chen Yan actually knows how to revitalize the economy. None of our group leaders have his brains."

"It seems that he is the only one who can be the leader of the independent regiment."
