Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 465 Chu Yunfei: 2nd Battalion Commander, I want to see if you can use the 155mm howitzer!

After the battle, on the afternoon of the third day, the commander finally waited for the meritorious team that had returned from a hundred battles in the outskirts of the base.

Due to continuous battles and forced marches, the soldiers had almost finished the dry food they carried with them.

Furthermore, the successive battles had left the soldiers covered in dust, and many of their clothes had been torn by weapons, tree branches, and thorns. The entire team looked ragged and extremely tattered.

Among the two brigades, the uniforms of the 386th Brigade appeared particularly dirty and tattered, because they had fought two consecutive annihilation battles plus a miracle-creating battle in between, which had almost drained all the physical strength of the soldiers. They had no time to pay attention to whether their military appearance was neat and tidy.

When the commander saw the vanguard appear, he quickly stepped forward, saluted all the soldiers, and then showed concern for their wounds and fatigue.

When the division commander and two brigade commanders appeared in sight, the commander stepped forward quickly and held the division commander's hand for a long time.

"Old buddy, you guys fought really beautifully this time!"

"Commander, I won't be modest this time."

The division commander joked with the commander with a smile, and he was very excited, but the fatigue between his brows could not be concealed.

The commander then turned to the brigade commander and saw that he was covered in smoke and dust. His black jacket had holes all over it and was scratched with marks. His uniform inside was also scratched with many holes. The commander frowned.

The brigade commander was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Commander, I'm really too tired and have no time to take care of my uniform, so the army is not in good shape and its prestige is not there."

"No! You are wrong. Your team is the most orderly and majestic I have ever seen in my life!"

After saying that, the commander saluted the brigade commander.

The brigade commander's eyes instantly filled with tears, and all the soldiers of the 386th Brigade raised their hands and saluted.

The commander looked around and saw that all the soldiers were looking at him. He was inspired and said: "Those who can march fifty miles a day are called elite troops, and those who can march seventy miles a day are called tiger soldiers!

I call the army that can travel over a hundred and twenty miles and participate in high-intensity battles the Eighth Route Army!

I have never seen a team like yours, but you really created a miracle!

Long live the 386th Brigade!

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

......

There was a commotion throughout the team, and everyone was obviously surprised by the commander's title.

But then everyone shouted excitedly, they deserved the title!

Just as the Eighth Route Army was returning, another team followed the retreating Japanese all the way to the outskirts of Jincheng.

Chu Yunfei led his 358th Regiment of more than troops to follow the Japanese until the Japanese entered Jincheng, and then they set up camp at a suitable location outside the city.

"Commander, have you thought it through? Do we really want to attack Jincheng?"

Fang Ligong, the chief of staff of the 358th Regiment, asked Chu Yunfei who was looking at him worriedly in the temporary tent.

"Now that we've come this far, is there any reason not to fight?"

Chu Yunfei looked at the battle map that had just been hung up, and responded crisply without even turning his head.

"Commander, would you please reconsider this? With just one regiment of ours, with only over 5,000 soldiers and horses, can we attack Jincheng?"

Fang Ligong tried to persuade him earnestly. He thought Chu Yunfei must be crazy, otherwise he would not have made the decision to attack Jincheng with a regiment of troops.

"Brother Ligong, the Japanese have just been defeated. They are in despair and their morale is low. Isn't this a perfect time for us to show our skills?

What? Now that the time has come, are you afraid, Brother Ligong?"

"No, Commander, someone on our side has been ready to sacrifice himself since the day he went to the battlefield. The Japanese have indeed been badly defeated, but they still have more than 10,000 remnants left after the withdrawal.

What's more, they are defending the city, and we only have 5,000 soldiers, how can we possibly win?"

"Brother Ligong, you should know that the Eighth Route Army only had more than 4 soldiers participating in the battle this time, but they still defeated the Japanese army of more than 10 soldiers, didn't they?

Not only that, this time the Eighth Route Army also killed more than 80,000 Japanese devils.

They achieved a victory greater than we have ever achieved.

Why, they can beat me, Chu Yunfei, but I can't?"

Chu Yunfei turned around, looked into Fang Ligong's eyes, and asked in an extremely serious tone.

Fang Ligong almost blurted out "Commander, don't you think about how we can compare with the Eighth Route Army?" But when he saw Chu Yunfei's serious expression, he swallowed the words back.

"Brother Ligong, our national army was too cowardly this time. If the Eighth Route Army had not intervened in the battlefield at the end, I am afraid that this battle would have ended in a complete defeat.

According to the information I have at present, if the National Army alone were to fight this war, it would not only be a rout, but the casualty ratio would also reach an exaggerated level.

I am a little unconvinced. What the Eighth Route Army can do, can't our Shanxi Suiyuan Army do it? Can't our 358th Regiment do it?"

Chu Yunfei is a little excited now. This is a rare time when he loses his composure like this.

"Brother Ligong, the recent victories of the Independent Regiment and even the Eighth Route Army have made me itchy. How can a real man be depressed and inferior to others for a long time?

So, this time we have to show the power of our 358th Regiment.

Our weapons are at the same level as the independent regiment. There are more than 10,000 demoralized devils in Jincheng now. I don’t believe we can’t take the city.”

"Brother Ligong, I remember that the 155mm howitzer I bought from the Liaoyuan Arsenal was handed over to the Second Battalion of the 358th Regiment, right? When I set out this time, I specifically asked Yu Ye for 20 shells.

Go call the second battalion commander, I want to see if he can use this 155mm howitzer!"

"Yes, Danzao!"
