Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

Seeing that both of them had left, Zhao Gang immediately called the headquarters to submit a request to recommend Kong Jie as deputy head of the group, but received a reply from his superiors: not approved.

Zhao Gang was looking worried and didn't know how to communicate with Kong Jie, so he found Chen Yan again.

Chen Yan also frowned after reading the telegram. Things had come to this point and he had done what needed to be done. In the end, he simply didn't care.

Whatever happens, Kong Jie is not my biological father. What's more, he is targeting me everywhere. Why should I bother about it?

He said with a sly smile:

"Political Commissar Zhao, the first and second battalions are being integrated. I'm quite busy. I'm confident you can handle this matter."

After saying that, Chen Yan ran out of the house without looking back.

On the other side, Huang Yi, who was sent to Wanjia Town to investigate the situation, immediately found Chen Yan after returning.

"Commander, we have figured out the situation of the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion. Since we robbed 60 military horses last time, the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association has replenished them with military horses and equipment. It is now a complete reorganized battalion."

"I guess they have been living a comfortable life with peace and quiet for some time. These bastards are quite carefree. Their defense is extremely poor. I had nothing to do last night, so I sneaked into their barracks to take a look. Don't mention it. I guess these bastards don't even wash their feet. The room was so stuffy that I almost got pharyngitis."

Chen Yan didn't listen to Huang Yi's endless chatter. He was more concerned about the fact that the cavalry battalion was actually a reorganized battalion.

Chen Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Great! This group of puppet soldiers is quite considerate. They gave me everything I needed and even replenished the losses.

If I don't let you guys eat it all up this time, I'd feel a little sorry for you.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan quietly called Zhang Dabiao.

"Da Biao, there is a group of military horses in Wanjia Town. You go and assemble the troops immediately. I will lead the team personally tonight to 'get' the military horses of our independent regiment back."

"We must hurry up and do this matter. We mustn't let the duck that has already been in our hands fly away again."

After listening to this, Zhang Dabiao said with some embarrassment:

"Captain, I guess you went to 'get' something without following instructions from your superiors and acted on your own. Given the brigade commander's temper, I'm afraid..."

Chen Yan became unhappy before Zhang Dabiao finished speaking.

He circled around Zhang Dabiao twice, looking him up and down, which made Zhang Dabiao very confused.

"Captain, why do you keep looking at me like that? My spine is a little tingling."

"I have to take a good look at whether the person standing in front of me is my battalion commander, or another chief sent by the headquarters who is meddling in my affairs."

Hearing this, Zhang Dabiao quickly stood at attention.

"Report, Commander, I am Zhang Dabiao, the commander of your first battalion."

"It's good for you to know. I'm not afraid, so why should you be afraid? Hurry up and gather the team. Remember to keep the noise down and don't cause trouble for me."

After saying that, Chen Yan glanced in the direction of Zhao Gang's room. Zhang Dabiao immediately understood, gathered his troops and quietly left Yangcun.

At the same time, the new regiment was stationed in Handan.

Ding Wei smoked a cigarette and listened to the scout's report.

"Captain Ding, we went to Wanjia Town to investigate as you instructed, and found that there was indeed a cavalry battalion of puppet troops stationed there. You are going to make a fortune this time."

"As soon as you arrived at our new regiment, our living standards really rose sharply."

Listening to the flattery from his subordinates, Ding Wei felt very comfortable. He said proudly:

"This is just a small amount of money. You look like you have never seen the world."

"Okay, you go tell the battalion commander to get ready. We're going to slaughter this bunch of puppet soldiers tonight."

No one on either side had expected that everyone would simultaneously set their sights on the Wanjia Town Cavalry Camp.

At night, Chen Yan led his troops up with ease.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Chen Yan ordered his troops to charge forward.

Just at this moment, the New 1st Regiment also rushed over from another direction. The two groups got closer and only discovered each other's existence in the moonlight.

The two sides held their breath and confronted each other, neither of them could figure out the other's approach, and a conflict was about to break out.

However, everyone was very cautious, fearing that they would alert the puppet army and not even be able to get a sip of soup.

At this time, Zhang Dabiao was sharp-eyed and saw that the other party was wearing a gray military uniform, so he quickly reported to Chen Yan.

After listening to this, Chen Yan looked at the person opposite him carefully, and then whispered:

"We are the same people. We are from the independent regiment. Which unit are you from?"

The leader of the opposite side also breathed a sigh of relief, "Hey, it turns out he's one of us."

"We are from the new group."

Upon hearing that they were from the new group, Chen Yan's mood, which had just relaxed a little, became tense again.

It's over. I did Ding Wei a favor before and told him the news about the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion. The New 1st Regiment must be here to pick the peaches this time.

How could they be so stupid? They bumped into the new group, and it was a serious collision.

Hey, I'm planning to take back something I promised to give to someone. This is a bit shameless.

However, even if I offend Ding Wei, I have already taken over the Cavalry Battalion. There is no reason for me to spit out the meat that is already in my mouth.

Chen Yan put away his greedy eyes and called Zhang Dabiao over.

"Come on, follow me to your old boss's place."

As soon as Chen Yan and his men came over, the newly appointed battalion commander of the New 1st Regiment recognized Zhang Dabiao.

"Oh my, who should I think I am? The flood has flushed the Dragon King Temple. Isn't this Brother Biao?"

Zhang Dabiao walked up to the person who was speaking, took a closer look at him, and then kicked him in the butt.

"Oh my god, who am I, Leo?"

"Why? I heard that the market has been booming recently. I'm leaving and you can take over my job."

Little Leo chuckled and said, "That's because the old battalion commander taught me well."

Little Lizi was originally a company commander under Zhang Dabiao. After Zhang Dabiao went to Heiyun Village, this guy actually "succeeded" him.

Immediately afterwards, members of the New 1st Regiment greeted Zhang Dabiao in a low voice one after another, and Zhang Dabiao waved to everyone.

Seeing this, Chen Yan felt relieved and an idea instantly came to his mind.

Okay, since we are all old acquaintances, don’t blame me for taking advantage of me today.

The meat of the Cavalry Battalion is bound to rot in my, Chen Yan's, pot.

Especially when seeing that little Leo wasn't very smart, Chen Yan felt very confident.

Little Li looked at Chen Yan, nodded and asked:

"Brother Biao, who is this? Please introduce him to me."

"You have a sharp eye, kid. This is Captain Chen of our independent regiment."

After listening to this, Little Li patted his head and said with sudden enlightenment:

"Look at my memory. I have met Captain Chen in Cang Yunling once. Captain Chen, nice to meet you."

Chen Yan looked at Xiao Lizi cunningly, handed him a cigarette, and said mysteriously:

"Brother, since we are old acquaintances, let's speak frankly."

"Cavalry Battalion, you, the New 1st Regiment, should stay out of this. Go back early so you can get more sleep."

Hearing this, Leo was a little unhappy.

I just became the battalion commander and wanted to show off in front of the new regiment commander, but just because of your words, all my credit is gone. Why?

Then, he said with displeasure:

"Captain Chen, what you said doesn't make sense. If your independent regiment wants to take it all for itself, then you can't order me around."

"I only listen to Captain Ding. If you have anything to say, go talk to him."

Hearing this, Chen Yan raised his eyebrows.

Oh, okay, you want to challenge me.

If I don’t have some fun with you today, you really don’t take me seriously!

Okay, Leo, you're unlucky. You'll cry later.
