Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

After Chen Yan arrived at the headquarters, he simply sorted out his emotions and looked at Wei Dayong.

"Monk, look at how I smile."

"It's okay, but it's uglier than crying."

Chen Yan looked resentful, snatched the wine and cigarettes from the monk, and shouted loudly:

"Chief, Xiao Chen is here to see you. You are really my lucky star..."

Hearing this all-too-familiar voice, everyone in the room looked towards the door.

As soon as Chen Yan entered the room, he immediately examined the people inside.

"The chief, chief of staff, division commanders, and brigade commanders are all here! Which leader's birthday is today? You see, I didn't prepare any gifts in advance."

"Puchi~".

The brigade commander could not help laughing when he heard this, but he forced himself to hold his laughter back when he saw the commander's murderous look.

In the house at this time

Quiet!

silent!

Cold!

At this moment, Chen Yan was digging the ground with his feet in embarrassment.

After a while, the commander said solemnly:

"Why was the telegraph turned off before the battle? Please give me a reasonable explanation."

"Boss, that...um...can you believe me if I say I forgot to bring my telegraph machine?"

"You bastard, you are deliberately trying to piss me off, right?

Why don’t you say that you forgot to bring the team when fighting, or forgot to bring the bullets when shooting.

Just keep making it up."

I would like to continue writing, but I really can’t go on. This is going to be a three-court trial for me!

The chief of staff smiled and helped Chen Yan.

"Okay, let's talk about the combat situation first. I'll deal with you later."

Chen Yan looked at the chief of staff with gratitude.

No wonder you can be the chief of staff, you are really good at smoothing things over!

"Reporting to the leaders, the independent regiment successfully completed the 6-hour blocking mission.

Well~, and we wiped out all the Japanese troops in the warehouse and captured the commander of the regiment, Inoue, who was late.

"!!!"

"What???"

"Did I hear that correctly?"

OMG!!!

"Say it again, annihilate all the Japanese troops!!!"

"Yes, Chief. Say it again, we wiped out more than 2200 Japanese troops and captured the Japanese regiment commander."

The facial expressions of the leaders instantly changed from shock to smiles.

Especially the commander, who pounded the table with his fists so hard that it made loud bangs!

"Great, this is the best result so far in the Hundred Regiments Campaign."

After saying that, he punched Chen Yan on the shoulder and said, "You are really good!

I have to report to Yan'an to commend you. Commander Chen handled things calmly, made accurate battlefield analysis, and was flexible in commanding the campaign. He decisively turned the blocking battle into a decisive battle, and achieved remarkable results. I must report this to the entire army to commend you."

Come on, this superior is quite realistic.

If you fight well, it means you are flexible in commanding the battle; if you fight badly, it means you are disobeying military orders.

"Thanks to the commander's cultivation, the independent regiment can be what it is today, and it is all because of your good leadership and your keen eye for talent."

"Okay, are you trying to flatter me or praise yourself? What does it mean to have a discerning eye for talent?"

Chen Yan smiled and said nothing.

"Tell me more about the battle process, it will make me happy for a while."

After this, Chen Yan felt even more confident.

It’s just bragging, it’s easy to do what I do!

Chen Yan then started talking about how he had formulated the combat meeting in the early stages, and how he adjusted the combat plan in actual combat, and how he used the assault team to storm the warehouse defenders. He described the whole thing vividly and with great enthusiasm.

The leaders also asked the guards to grab a handful of melon seeds, and several people seemed to be listening to the story! Especially the brigade commander, his participation was too high, when it came to the key moments, he even cheered and applauded!

Chen Yan wanted to say, "Leaders, why don't we have a drink tonight? I'll have someone prepare some snacks!"

After the event, the commander was still not satisfied and praised Chen Yan: Among the crazy figures in northwest Shanxi, Chen Yan is the best!

When the other leaders heard this, they looked at Chen Yan with a smile and muttered in their hearts: "Oh damn, this young man has a bright future!"

Chen Yan felt a little shy when he heard the commander's high evaluation and saw everyone looking at him.

"Chief, you say I'm crazy about fashion, but I'm not vulgar."

"Hahaha, this brat!..."

In the battle at the Zhengtai Road warehouse, the independent regiment was awarded the first-class collective merit, Chen Yan was awarded the first-class individual merit, and Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and nine other members of the assault team were awarded the second-class individual merit.

After lunch, two large truckloads of gifts that Chen Yan had given to the head of the headquarters arrived. Looking at the truckloads of weapons, ammunition, food and medicines, the commander's face froze with a smile.

The commander pointed at Chen Yan's nose and said, "There's still room for improvement for you, kid."

"Leader, no matter who I forget, I will never forget you."

Of course, when Chen Yan reported, he only mentioned that the equipment of one regiment was seized, and the bulk of the money had to be taken secretly by himself.

The brigade commander's face became increasingly darker as he looked at the truckloads of weapons and ammunition. Chen Yan quietly slipped up to him while no one was paying attention.

"Brigade Commander, how could I forget to honor you when there are benefits? You also have a share, and it's exactly the same as the chief's."

"Hahaha, my love for you is not in vain, you are such a nice guy!"

The two were whispering to each other when suddenly one of them got kicked in the butt.

Chen Yan understood what happened as soon as he looked back, and his teeth almost broke.

"Okay, commander. Your share isn't too much. I'll send it to the division headquarters later."

Chen Yan looked at the room full of senior leaders smiling happily, and his heart was bleeding!

Whether a leader is good or not depends on whether he can easily fleece the people.

MD, I am the only one who can do this, I am almost like Ge You.

This is what it means to truly fleece socialism!

After chatting for a while in the afternoon, everyone left the headquarters one after another.

The commander looked at Chen Yan's departing figure, feeling still unsatisfied.

"Boss, Chen Yan is almost becoming the apple of your eye."

"I am very proud of him. Chief of Staff, do you think we can move the area under this kid's butt?"

The chief of staff was surprised at first, then he smiled and said: "All conditions are met. Young cadres like him should be in more suitable positions."

The second phase of the Hundred Regiments Campaign was a complete success, especially the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment's brilliant performance in an annihilation battle. This news also reached the ears of the Kuomintang transport captain, who praised it highly. After all, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated, and the Eighth Route Army also belonged to the Kuomintang army.

But when he learned that the commander of the independent regiment that fought the annihilating battle was from the Military Control Commission and was also his student, he was so angry that he cursed!

"What a joke! Whenever there is a capable person here, he ends up going to the Eighth Route Army. After all, Whampoa Military Academy was opened for the Eighth Route Army!"

Since then, the Kuomintang has started to make small moves again. For this reason, Yan Xishan sent a group of senior officers from the Jinsui Army of the Second War Zone to the Eighth Route Army to observe the tactics and learn from them. Chen Yan once again ushered in a highlight moment!
