Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

Seeing that the people of the independent regiment were a little hesitant, Chen Yan went up without saying anything, holding a machete and stabbed a little Japanese soldier in the neck. With a hiss, blood gushed out from the aorta and splashed all over Chen Yan's face. Under the setting sun, it was extremely scary. Then Li Yunlong cursed, "Fuck you," and rushed up. The soldiers were all excited, and soon the more than 100 prisoners were chopped to the ground.

Chen Yan looked at the corpses all over the ground, and his tense spirit finally relaxed. He wiped the blood off his face, and suddenly seemed to think of something, then rushed to the middle of the pile of corpses and started to tumble around anxiously.

Zhao Gang hurriedly asked: "Captain, what's wrong?"

Chen Yan roared: "MD, who has seen this bastard Yamazaki Yeping? He has been busy for a long time and it's just a waste of time."

At this time, Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong realized that they really had not seen the old man Yamazaki. So they quickly ordered people to help find the "corpse".

Chen Yan sat weakly on the top of the mountain, listening to everyone's reports one after another, with a lonely look on his face.

"Bah, Yamazaki really got away, what a disgrace."

Zhao Gang comforted him, "Captain, there is nothing shameful about our great victory today. Yamazaki has blood on his hands and he will die sooner or later. We are just letting him live a few more days."

Chen Yan sighed as he looked at the battlefield of Lijiaopo. Suddenly, two figures in the distance caught his attention.

He yelled, "Monk, where have you been? I couldn't find you when I needed you."

At this time, Monk Wei was carrying a red tasseled spear on his shoulder, and Gou Wazi was walking side by side with him. They were dragging a man behind them, and each of them was pulling one of Chen Yan's legs as they strode towards Chen Yan.

The monk scratched his barren head and said naively: "Captain, Gouwazi and I are going to chase Yamazaki."

"Who? You caught this bastard."

Chen Yan couldn't hide his joy and ran towards them.

Looking at the epaulettes on the Japanese army uniforms, Chen Yan's heart finally settled down.

The monk pointed at the dog and said jokingly:

"This kid is so cruel. He cut the tendons of Yamazaki's hands and feet and almost killed him."

"It's good enough as long as this beast doesn't run away."

A group of people were staring at the unconscious Yamazaki, when suddenly someone kicked Chen Yan in the butt from behind, causing him to stagger.

"Damn it, who is disrespectful to me? What are you making a fuss about?"

After Chen Yan finished speaking, he looked up and his heart tightened. At this moment, the brigade commander was glaring at Chen Yan ferociously, his hair almost stood up in anger, and he waved the whip in the air twice.

"Oh, it's the brigade commander in person. He must be here to praise our independent regiment for the victory. Everyone gather and listen to the leader's speech."

Chen Yan kept trying to please the brigade commander and tricked him. As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. No matter how angry the brigade commander was, he could not reveal the massacre of prisoners of war in front of all the soldiers. That would be a slap in his own face.

The brigade commander looked at the exhausted soldiers, then glared at Chen Yan fiercely, and forced out a sentence, "Comrades, you fought well."

Then he took the three leaders of the independent regiment back to the brigade. Chen Yan was in good condition, but Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked depressed and had no hope.

"Chen Yan, you bastard, you are lawless when you can fight. What's the crime of killing prisoners of war? You thought you were in your bandit's lair."

Chen Yan showed an innocent expression.

"Brigade Commander, are you kidding? How can you casually accuse me of killing prisoners of war? It was obvious that the Japanese intended to resist. I acted calmly and decisively and ordered a counterattack. This was a normal battle."

"Oh, now that's the case, I have to praise you."

"That's not necessary. This is what I should do as the team leader."

The three giants of the independent regiment had been secretly in collusion for a long time. Although Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang felt guilty, they gritted their teeth and said that it was a normal battle.

"Okay, it's only been a short while since you three became friends. The independent regiment's Party Committee has quite unified ideas, and you're good at telling lies with your eyes open."

"Commander, please understand. It is easier to lead a team with unified thinking. I feel a little embarrassed that you have been praising me all the time today."

"Damn it, get out of here."

The brigade commander was fully aware of the seriousness of the massacre of prisoners of war and immediately rushed to the headquarters without stopping.

Listening to the brigade commander's battle summary, the commander and chief of staff all smiled widely.

The commander said with his hands behind his back:

"I knew Chen Yan was okay. This guy has a lot of clever ideas. He even thought of using chili peppers to force the enemy out of the trenches. This battle showed the momentum and wisdom of our Eighth Route Army. He even captured Yamazaki alive. Not bad, I will give him credit for it."

The Chief of Staff was also in a very happy mood:

"This kid always has some creative thinking at critical moments. He is extraordinary! When I recruited him, I was always worried that he would cause trouble. It seems that I was overthinking."

The brigade commander looked like he had eaten shit, his face turning red and white.

Wait a minute, let me see if you two can still laugh.

"Chief, there is one more thing I want to report to you two."

Then, the brigade commander reported Chen Yan's order to massacre the prisoners and his shameless excuses. Suddenly, the commander's face changed, and the chief of staff's smile disappeared.

"Damn it, Chen Yan is so bold, doesn't he know our army's policies? He did it on purpose."

"He is just using the discipline of our Eighth Route Army as a dirty trick. Is this the talent you recommended to me?"

...

Listening to the commander's scolding, the brigade commander nodded repeatedly, not daring to say a word. He glanced at the chief of staff for help from time to time.

"Boss, don't be angry. Things have happened. Let's see how to solve it."

"And is it necessary to report this situation to Yan'an?"

The chief of staff finally spoke, and the brigade commander breathed a sigh of relief.

After a long time, the commander thought carefully and looked at the brigade commander expressionlessly.

"Since Yamazaki has been caught, then you may have seen it wrong. It should be that the Japanese intended to resist, and the independent regiment is counterattacking normally."

"Commander, I am sure..."

The brigade commander was halfway through his words when the commander's authority suddenly emerged, frightening him.

"Xiao Chen, maybe you have seen it wrong? We cannot wrongly accuse a revolutionary cadre."

Having followed the leader for so many years, the brigade commander immediately reacted and said:

"Commander, this is all my fault. I was too nervous. Now that I think about it, I realize that it was the Japanese who had bad intentions and it has nothing to do with our army."

"Xiao Chen, I won't blame you this time. But you must not be careless about this kind of thing in the future. It won't happen again."

The brigade commander looked helpless and sighed in his heart:

Old leader, you are really protective of your child. That would be fine, but why did you have to scold me just now?

If I had known I would not have reported it, what a bastard I am!
