Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

It was almost dinner time when Chen Yan and the chief finally stopped. They sat among the crowd, both exhausted and out of breath.

Li Yunlong's head was swollen like a pig's head, and he squatted in the corner and dared not speak. Seeing that the two were sweating profusely, he handed them two towels.

Leader: "Huh! That's quite thoughtful."

Chen Yan turned away and ignored him.

The room was eerily quiet; the only sound that could be heard was everyone's breathing.

The chief of staff, who had just arrived, acted as a peacemaker after understanding the whole story.

"I've already beaten you, what else can I do? Li Yunlong, you should admit your mistake first. Why can't you change your habit of disobeying orders?"

Li Yunlong's face was bruised and swollen, but he could still laugh:

"My two leaders, I will definitely change in the future, hahaha..."

Leader: "Hmph! You're only good at talking."

Seeing that Chen Yan didn't say anything, the chief of staff said:

"Chen'er, don't be stubborn. You can still shoot Li Yunlong!"

Then the Chief of Staff whispered:

"You know the discipline of our Eighth Route Army. Why did the leader take action? It's not a small matter for you to beat up a deputy regiment commander! He is paving the way for you. Don't let him down!"

Chen Yan raised his eyelids, looked at the boss again, and hesitated for a long time:

"Commander, I was wrong to hit him just now. I apologize to Comrade Li Yunlong..."

Before Chen Yan finished speaking, Li Yunlong came over:

"Brother! This is my fault. I am happy to be beaten by you.

If Fatty Wang from the Political Department causes trouble for you, you can ask him to come to me and then you will be rebelling against him."

Li Yunlong's voice became louder and louder, as if he was saying it on purpose for others to hear. The leader glared at him and he finally stopped talking.

"Commander, this time it was my fault, Chen Yan, who was incompetent. I let Yamamoto Ikki escape and failed to complete the mission. I am the head of a regiment, and I will take responsibility for this."

"Don't act like the sky is falling. Ask these people in the room who can kill 200 Japanese officers.

Moreover, the independent regiment successfully completed the task of protecting the headquarters' flank, so it should be the first to achieve the credit.

As for the beating incident, it was just a conflict between the two brothers in your family, and no one outside can interfere."

Then the leader looked around with sharp eyes.

"Besides, I have already taken action. If anyone wants to sue, let him sue me too."

In this way, Chen Yan's beating incident was over. After the Eighth Route Army reported the destruction of the Japanese military observation group to the Second War Zone, it completely shocked the Kuomintang authorities. The Military Commission also ordered Yan Laoxi to compile the entire incident into detailed materials and report it.

The transport captain was the one who did the flattering. He made a big fuss in newspapers across the country, saying that the 200th Group Army of the Kuomintang wiped out Japanese officers, and that the famous Japanese general Hattori Naoomi was hacked alive by our Chinese soldiers!

As soon as this report came out, the whole country of China celebrated, and the people once again restored their confidence in the Kuomintang.

At the same time, Yoshio Shinozuka was looking at the newspaper and slapping himself in anger.

"Baga, you are such a jerk, but you are still an excellent soldier selected by the Empire to be trained in Germany?

I have no place to put my old face. The honor of the First Army has been disgraced.

You're just bragging. The special forces team has been disbanded, and you're still standing in front of me with a flattering face.

Get out of here and don't let me see you again."

On the other side, Chu Yunfei came to Yan Xishan’s headquarters.

"Yun Fei is here, please sit down.

This time, the Eighth Route Army annihilated the Japanese Major General Hattori Naoomi. The Military Commission attaches great importance to this matter. You are a witness, and I want to hear your opinion."

Old Yan poured a cup of tea for Chu Yunfei and smiled without saying a word.

"Old commander, I think you must pay special attention to Chen Yan, the leader of the independent regiment."

“Well, I’ve heard of this person a long time ago.

Nobutsu Sakata, Yohei Yamazaki and Chida Inoue were all defeated by him. It seems that he is a powerful general.

I also checked his identity and found out that he was from the Military Control Commission. As for why he joined the Eighth Route Army, whether he was a spy planted by them earlier or something else, I don’t know.

"Old sir, you are wise. Chen Yan is a man of extraordinary military talent, while I am a humble subordinate and I think we are a thousand miles apart.

And after much inquiry, I found out that he is also a military expert. His regiment has independently developed a variety of weapons that are extremely powerful, and in terms of firepower, they are almost catching up with the German mechanized regiments."

Yan Laoxi: “???.”

Is this true? "

"It is true. I saw with my own eyes the 60mm round they developed. It is extremely powerful and easy to carry. It is a single-soldier weapon."

"Yun Fei! It seems that it was right to ask you to come here today.

This matter is known only to God and the earth, you and me, and must never be known to a third person.

While the Central Army has not paid special attention to his talents in this area, you should have more private contact with him..."

"You mean..."

"That's right! What's the most important thing in this era? Anyone with a gun is a king. If this guy is really a military expert, then our Jinsui Army has a chance. You also know the old man's character...

You should get in touch with him more and see if you can get him to join our side.

As long as he agrees, I will give him women, money, power and status."

After Chu Yunfei left, Yan Laoxi's face was filled with sorrow. Since the Japanese came, he, the King of Shanxi, didn't have much territory left, and his back was not as strong as before...

......

After pulling out the tiger's front teeth, why are you still running away?

After the Huting Incident, various units of the Eighth Route Army began to move.

The independent regiment came to a village in southeastern Shanxi for rest and recuperation.

After the last battle, Chen Yan witnessed the advantages of Yamamoto's special forces in mountain warfare. They are short and efficient, flexible in command and highly mobile, which is particularly suitable for the current situation of the Eighth Route Army.

So he decided to form a special operations team, which not only required strong individual combat capabilities, but also the ability to be integrated into large-scale operations to give full play to advantages.

It would definitely not be enough to rely on Zhang Dabiao, Wei Heshang and a few others, not to mention that these people are the backbone of the regiment and cannot be moved easily.

It turns out that Li San is the battalion commander of a special operations battalion, but his special operations battalion is more powerful than ordinary troops due to the support of 60mm fire and other equipment.

What Chen Yan wants now is not just this, he wants more.

He called Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang to discuss the matter. Li Yunlong was still somewhat afraid of Chen Yan, since he was beaten last time, he was somewhat traumatized, but Chen Yan didn't think too much about it.

"My two brothers, the Japanese raids are becoming more and more frequent. It seems that it will be difficult for us to fight a big battle in the short term.

I would like to take this opportunity to reorganize the special operations battalion and carry out reforms in terms of individual combat quality, weapons and equipment, and personnel allocation. The new special operations battalion will be able to conduct decentralized operations as well as participate in large-scale operations.

Taking both into account, I hope to build a real spearhead force."
