Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

According to the data mentioned by Li Yunlong, what does this mean?

This means that in this ambush, the Eighth Route Army killed more than 180 Japanese soldiers without suffering any casualties.

The casualty ratio between the two sides was about 0:180.

You must be kidding!

This data!

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is obvious to all. In addition to their excellent equipment, their solid military qualities cannot be ignored.

On the front battlefield, the Japanese army advanced rapidly and won victory after victory, causing the Nationalist troops, including the most elite Central Army, to suffer repeated defeats and even lose most of the country.

The Japanese are so powerful, who dares to say that their combat effectiveness is low?

But why did they become like weaklings in the hands of the Eighth Route Army?

In a trance, Chu Yunfei even wondered if the Japanese troops ambushed by the Eighth Route Army were not the same Japs that their Shanxi-Suiyuan Army encountered on the front battlefield?

Of course, this was indeed just a logistics unit of the Japanese army. Although the military qualities of the Japanese logistics soldiers were quite good, they were ultimately not as powerful as the field army.

In addition, the battle was not a conventional frontal offensive and defensive battle but an ambush.

But even so.

The casualty ratio of 0 to 180 is still a bit too exaggerated.

After a battle, in addition to the casualty ratio, the strength gap between the two sides can also be judged by the spoils of war captured by the victorious side.

For example, at this moment, the Eighth Route Army soldiers quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

In the end, it was determined that more than a dozen carts of supplies carried by the Japanese army's mule and horse carts, as well as military supplies carried by five transport trucks, were seized.

Including the guns and ammunition carried by the killed Japanese devils, especially the ammunition carried by the Japanese soldiers. According to the Japanese devils' usual practice, a single soldier usually carried 120 rounds of bullets.

After the final battlefield cleanup.

The soldiers reported that they had not had time to use up most of the ammunition the Japanese carried.

Some were killed before they could even fire three bullets.

Therefore, it can be said that the New Second Regiment has completely seized the equipment and ammunition of a Japanese squadron this time.

It also includes the large amount of military supplies they carried.

“A total of 165 rifles, more than 20 pistols, and at least rounds of ammunition were seized.

In addition, we also seized more than 20 trucks of military supplies, canned food, compressed biscuits, various seasonings, and fabrics that the Japanese were transporting. "

You have to know that this was the most difficult period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Even though the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's material situation was relatively good, such a batch of supplies was enough to make people excited.

Even Chu Yunfei couldn't help but think that it would be great if such a batch of supplies belonged to his 358th Regiment.

And what did Li Yunlong say?

After listening to the soldiers' report on the captured data, he was quite unhappy and cursed:

"Alright, alright, stop talking so much, isn't it just a handful of spoils of war?

Do you need to report this to me so clearly?

Didn't I tell you long ago that you don't have to report to me if you have less than 50 trucks of supplies, less than ten artillery pieces, or a caliber less than 75?

For such a trivial matter, you can report it to your battalion commander and let them make the decision themselves."

After scolding the officer who reported the incident, Li Yunlong turned his head and said to Chu Yunfei in a pretentious manner, "Brother Yunfei, I'm sorry, but the brothers under my command are useless and have made a fool of themselves!"

Chu Yunfei: “…”

If he knew what Versailles meant, he would definitely jump up and curse Li Yunlong as a Versailles old man.

How long have you been in the New Second Regiment? How many times have you, Li Yunlong, acted pretentiously and boasted in front of me, Chu Yunfei?

Li Yunlong said in his heart, this is just the beginning. You, Chu Yunfei, have come to my, Li Yunlong’s territory, so I have to open your eyes, right?

At this time, it took seven or eight minutes, which was exactly the 20 minutes Kong Jie expected.

The soldiers quickly cleaned up the battlefield and carried away all kinds of equipment and supplies.

Including the five Japanese transport vehicles that were destroyed in the bombing, they were basically cut up, sealed, and packed up and taken away by the soldiers.

Logically speaking, the Eighth Route Army had such combat effectiveness and seized such a rich amount of spoils in one go, so they should have been quite generous.

Chu Yunfei noticed that these Eighth Route Army soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, seizing the supplies carried by the Japanese, taking away their guns and ammunition, and even stripping them of their clothes, leaving only a piece of loincloth with a foul smell.

Even the bullet casings left on the battlefield were not left behind. They were all picked up and packed up and taken away.

This……

Isn't this too frugal?

Kong Jie noticed the strangeness in Chu Yunfei's expression and explained earnestly:

"Brother Yunfei, I'm sorry to make you laugh. This is the thrifty tradition of our Eighth Route Army.

After all, the current situation of the War of Resistance is difficult, especially for our Eighth Route Army, which is located in the battlefield behind enemy lines, isolated and helpless, and has a weak military industrial foundation.

Unlike you, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, who have a large family and a huge business, we have to live frugally. Even if we are lucky and get some supplies, we dare not squander them.

In any unit of our Eighth Route Army, was there anyone whose supplies, equipment and ammunition were blown back by the strong wind?

Isn't it all accumulated bit by bit through the seizure of spoils from fighting the Japanese? Without these accumulations, what would we use to continue fighting the Japanese?"

"Of course, if Brother Yunfei is willing to support our Eighth Route Army, he can bring a few trucks of supplies, a few thousand guns, and hundreds of thousands of bullets to our Eighth Route Army.

Then just pretend I never said anything, and you don’t have to pick up the bullet.”

How could Chu Yunfei agree to this? He laughed and said, "It's good to be frugal. All Chinese troops should learn from you, the Eighth Route Army!"

When leaving, Li Yunlong also arranged for the soldiers to leave some special gifts for the Japanese devils, and arranged some grenades into booby traps and hid them under the bodies of the Japanese devils.

"Brother Yunlong, what is this?"

Chu Yunfei was surprised by this.

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "When dealing with beasts like the Japanese devils, no cruel means are considered cruel. This is the gift I asked the soldiers to leave for the Japanese devils.

Hide these grenades under the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, tie the fuses to their pants, and the Japanese reinforcements can just turn over the bodies of these little Japanese soldiers to immediately detonate the grenades, and maybe even kill a few more of them! "

Chu Yunfei remained silent, but his heart was already deeply shocked.

To be honest, he admired these Eighth Route Army cadres very much.

It seemed that when he farted, he was thinking about how to use his fart to suffocate the Japanese to death.

No wonder they have been able to grow to where they are today.

No wonder even the Japanese were terrified when they mentioned the Eighth Route Army.

Then, under the command of Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and others, the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield and left the ambush area.

It was on the way that Chu Yunfei came into close contact with the elite steel-helmeted soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, whose combat effectiveness was so shocking that they killed an entire Japanese squadron with a casualty ratio of 0 to 180.

He witnessed how well-equipped the elite steel-helmeted soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were.

An entire squad was equipped with a machine gun, a grenade launcher, a submachine gun, and even a modified 50mm cannon with a mount.

The situation was even more exaggerated when it came to a platoon and a company.

With such sophisticated equipment and powerful firepower, even the Japanese army with the same strength would probably be far inferior to them.

In comparison, Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment, with the same company and platoon, could not compare in terms of equipment level with the elite Eighth Route Army in front of them.

If the two sides fight, Chu Yunfei's troops might not be able to match these Japs.

Maybe we can achieve a casualty ratio of 0:300 or even 0:500.

Chu Yunfei couldn't help but ask in amazement: "Such sophisticated equipment, such exaggerated firepower configuration, Brother Kong, Brother Yunlong, are the resources of your Eighth Route Army already so abundant?"

Li Yunlong did not hide it and said frankly: "If all our Eighth Route Army had such firepower configuration, the old brigade commander, the teacher commander and the general would probably wake up laughing in their dreams.

I won’t hide it from Brother Yunfei.

The equipment of this company you see in front of you was basically put together temporarily by using up all the resources of my entire New Second Regiment.

After this battle, these equipments have to be returned!

Our Eighth Route Army had limited equipment and scarce ammunition. In order to concentrate firepower to deal with the Japanese army, we often had to concentrate the equipment and ammunition of the entire regiment or even the entire brigade on a small-scale force before we could engage in a head-on confrontation with the Japs.

In fact, the overall equipment level of the troops is far inferior to that of the Japanese devils! "

What Li Yunlong said was seven parts true and three parts false, and the truth and falsehood were so mixed that Chu Yunfei couldn't tell the difference.

Overall, the Eighth Route Army's equipment level and material conditions were indeed still very scarce.

His new Second Regiment indeed consumed a great deal of resources in creating elite steel-helmeted soldiers.

But in fact, so far, the number of elite steel helmet soldiers in their New Second Regiment has exceeded 200, and it is also a standing elite force directly under the regiment headquarters.

Unlike what Li Yunlong said, these equipments have to be returned to other troops after the battle.

Naturally, the family's assets cannot be completely exposed.

Chu Yunfei nodded. This made sense. He then expressed his amazement at the Eighth Route Army's tactics of concentrating resources to build a small-scale elite force.

"It turns out that the construction of the army can be carried out in this way!"

Kong Jie explained: "This is also a helpless move. Our Eighth Route Army has limited resources, so we can only temporarily concentrate limited resources on veterans with solid military literacy and rich combat experience to enhance the combat effectiveness of small-scale troops.

As long as our resources are sufficient.

The entire army has long been made into an elite force."

Chu Yunfei deeply agreed with this. This situation was not only the case with the Eighth Route Army, but also with other Chinese troops, including the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and local military forces.

Even the Central Army, although its equipment was much better than that of the Eighth Route Army, was actually equally scarce and limited.

At that time, the National Army almost exhausted the country's resources and material resources to build three German-equipped divisions, but they were basically destroyed in the Battle of Shanghai.

If the country's strength is sufficient, we can directly transform all the millions of troops into German-equipped divisions.

Then what does that little devil have to do with us?

New Second Regiment Headquarters.

As the host, Li Yunlong arranged a cooking team, prepared some delicious dishes, and took out several bottles of fine wine from his own collection.

Add wine, turn on the lights and resume the feast.

They were all like-minded people, including Chu Yunfei. Although he was in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army camp, he was a pure soldier and a patriotic soldier. He was also welcomed by Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei.

Everyone talked about the future changes in the war situation and the development of the situation.

Chu Yunfei was obviously a very far-sighted soldier. He said, "Brother Kong, Brother Yunlong, Brother Ding, thank you for your sincerity. This visit to your Eighth Route Army base has really broadened my horizons.

Although we each serve different masters, our goal is the same when it comes to defending our country and fighting the Japanese invaders. In this sense, we can be considered friends.

As a friend, I would like to give you a few reminders.

Now that your Eighth Route Army is growing rapidly, it will sooner or later become a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese army. It is very likely that a large-scale mopping-up operation against your Eighth Route Army is already in the works.

Brother Kong, Brother Yunlong, you must prepare early!"

Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei were slightly stunned by these words. They didn't expect Chu Yunfei to give such a heartfelt reminder.

Li Yunlong was thick-skinned. He held up the wine glass and insisted on having a drink with Chu Yunfei.

The two drank it all in one gulp.

Li Yunlong opened his mouth and said, "Brother Yunfei, you have said so much, why not be more practical? If the Japanese army launches a large-scale sweep against our Eighth Route Army,

I wonder if Brother Yunfei can help the brothers?"

"How can I help?" Chu Yunfei asked.

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Brother Yunfei, don't worry. If we ask your regiment to send troops directly to help our Eighth Route Army fight the Japanese, it is not very realistic. Even if you are willing, I am afraid Commander Yan will not do it.

But it doesn’t matter. No matter whether others fight the Japanese or not, we, the Eighth Route Army, will definitely fight the Japanese.

I was just thinking about whether I could do some business with Brother Yunfei before the Japanese launched their raid. Don't worry, it's a win-win situation for both of us, and we both stand to gain!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfei said solemnly, "Brother Yunlong, if you are talking about the private sale of arms, I'm sorry.

Brother, I am afraid I can’t help you!”

After these words were spoken, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Ding Wei looked at each other and thought to themselves that it was indeed true.

Chu Yunfei is a pure guy at heart and there is no way he would agree to go along with the crowd.

But Chu Yunfei was not originally in the target of several people.

Kong Jie quickly said:

"Brother Yunfei, you are overthinking. We will certainly not let Brother Yunfei become the kind of villain who smuggles arms. We are just wondering if Brother Yunfei can act as a middleman.

Please introduce us to some officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army who are willing to do this business.

I'm also speaking frankly.

There were many corrupt officials in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Many officers took advantage of the war to enrich themselves and engaged in arms and material smuggling in private. It is unknown how much resources flowed into the pockets of the Japanese.

The Japanese used them and remade them into guns and cannons to attack us Chinese.

I think Brother Yunfei cannot be completely unaware of these things.

In this case, Brother Yunfei, wouldn’t you be willing to lend a little help and allow these resources to flow into the hands of our Eighth Route Army?

It's better than falling into the hands of the Japanese!"
