Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

The brigade commander was relieved to see that the commander was willing to protect Chen Yan. The chief of staff was experienced and had worked with the commander for many years. How could he not see through the commander's thoughts? This was definitely to focus on training Chen Yan.

In the future, Chen Yan is likely to become a rising star in our army. If his resume contains serious political issues such as the massacre of prisoners of war, his future will probably be ruined even if he is appreciated by the commander.

The crime Chen Yan committed this time could be a big one or a small one, depending on how you look at it. This guy is smart and knows how to avoid the problem. He put all the blame on the Japanese, which gave the commander a chance to help him.

After careful consideration, the Chief of Staff finally spoke:

"Boss, although Chen Yan's treatment of prisoners of war was a bit radical, it was still in line with our military procedures. I thought that there was no need to report it to Yan'an. It is better for us to handle it internally to save the leaders from worrying.

Moreover, in such a short period of time, Chen Yan was able to turn the mess of the independent regiment into a team with such strong combat effectiveness. It can be seen that Chen Yan also spent a lot of effort. Everyone makes mistakes, and comrades must be given the opportunity to correct them.

This time Chen Yan defeated the Yamazaki Battalion and captured Yamazaki alive, which can be regarded as a great achievement. He also avenged more than 100 comrades who died in the military hospital. We still have to look at the problem dialectically."

"Well, Chief of Staff, you are really thoughtful. However, Chen Yan's extreme behavior has caused a bad impact and must be dealt with seriously."

After hearing this, the brigade commander thought that the commander had changed his mind and was not going to let Chen Yan go, so he asked anxiously:

"Commander, it's okay for me to discipline my subordinates. You won't shoot Chen Yan, will you?"

"Bullshit! He's already caused trouble, it would be too easy for him to be shot."

"Commander, should we remove him from his post and investigate him? Let him be a horse feeder like Kong Jie and Li Yunlong?"

"Bullshit, I work so hard every day, but I let him have such a leisurely life. Isn't it too easy for him?"

The commander's next words almost made the brigade commander drop his jaw.

"Let's put it this way, since you fought well in the battle of Lijiaopo, your merits and demerits will be offset and you won't give him any commendation. At the same time, demote Chen Yan to the deputy commander of the independent regiment and let him be in charge of the work. Then let this kid come to the regiment headquarters to serve as a service soldier for three days. He has to prepare water for me to wash my feet every night so that I can embarrass him."

"By the way, Chief of Staff, please go to the Archives Section of the Political Department in person to explain this matter. These civilian staff don't understand the actual situation, so don't make random comments in the files."

"Okay, boss, I'll do it myself."

After the two leaders left, the brigade commander was left alone and in a mess.

Can you still do this? Killing more than a hundred prisoners of war, and nothing happened?

Although it is said to be a demotion, in reality the deputy head of the group who is in charge of the work is still the top leader.

In the end, Chen Yan was punished to wash his feet with water for three days.

The brigade commander left the headquarters, shaking his head with a wry smile.

The independent regiment won a great victory, which could be said to have avenged the previous defeat. The soldiers were in high spirits and the regiment headquarters was filled with jubilation.

Chen Yan was not too worried about how the headquarters would deal with his massacre of prisoners of war. His original intention of traveling through time was to kill the Japanese devils. Although the method of massacre was a bit inhumane, he did not regard the Japanese soldiers as human beings at all.

The worst that can happen is that I will be dismissed completely. Why not just shoot myself? With my abilities, will the leaders be willing to let me do this? The most I can get is a suspended death sentence. Then I can just come up with a couple of invention patents and the leaders will still have to use me.

The Lijiapo battle yielded a lot of results, killing more than 500 enemies, seizing more than 400 rifles, 48 ​​light and heavy machine guns, 12 mortars, 5 boxes of grenades, and more than 3 rounds of ammunition. The independent regiment suffered more than 120 casualties, which was a great victory during the Anti-Japanese War. This battle allowed Chen Yan to gain a firm foothold in the Eighth Route Army, and no one dared to look down on this bandit leader anymore.

Chen Yan called Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, and the three giants held a battle summary meeting.

At this time, the brigade commander walked in from outside.

"Oh, brother three is busy."

When the three saw each other, they quickly stood up and saluted.

"Okay, I'm here to inform the headquarters of the disciplinary decision."

There was not much emotion on Chen Yan's face, as it was all within his expectations. On the contrary, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked worried.

"Our Captain Chen is indeed a hero. He remains calm even when facing a huge disaster. Let's see how long you can keep pretending.

I hereby announce the removal of Chen Yan from his position as head of the independent regiment..."

Having said that, the brigade commander paused deliberately, wanting to see Chen Yan's reaction. The result disappointed him greatly, as Chen Yan acted as if nothing had happened.

Li Yunlong, on the other hand, had swept away his previous gloom and his face was full of anticipation.

Shit, Chen Yan got ripped off? That's not good, my chance has come.

Brother, even though we are as good as one, it still feels a bit frustrating to be the deputy head of the group.

The key point is that you always interrupt my lines when you speak, which is really annoying.

If you get fired, I will definitely be the team leader.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong straightened his military uniform, wiped the dirt off his shoes, and started coughing again, making the three of them look at him as if he were a fool.

"Brigade Commander, please continue with the announcement. I, Old Li, am listening."

"Li Yunlong, why are you showing off? Calm down. Chen Yan has been removed from his position as regiment leader and appointed as deputy regiment leader of the independent regiment to take charge of the work."

The brigade commander privately announced the order for Chen Yan to go to the headquarters to serve as a service soldier for three days, and then left in disappointment.

After hearing this, Li Yunlong felt like a deflated ball.

"What the hell? The deputy head of the group is in charge of the work. Does that mean Chen Yan is still the boss? And I am still the runner-up?"

At this time, Zhao Gang added with a smile: "Old Li, you are at most the third in command for a thousand years, don't flatter yourself."

Chen Yan looked at Li Yunlong and said jokingly:

"Old Li, I didn't realize that you have been thinking about usurping the throne for a long time. Should I take the initiative to prevent future troubles?"

At this time, Li Yunlong quickly shrank his neck and ran away.

At the same time, he kept explaining, "Brother, we are blood relatives, it's all a misunderstanding. I have a stomachache, let's talk later."

Chen Yan was also very surprised when he heard the punishment decision from the headquarters. He didn't expect that the leader would let him off so easily. Is this his personal charm?

From now on, I can get whatever I want in the Eighth Route Army!

You can't be too outstanding as a person. You can't hide it even if you want to.

If I write an autobiography in the future, the title will be: During those years in the Eighth Route Army, I put my hands in my pockets and had no idea what an opponent was.

Chen Yan was in a good mood. He went to the yard, found a chair, sat down in the sun, and continued to fantasize:

Why among so many regiment commanders in the Eighth Route Army, why did he favor me alone?
