The 8th Route Army was happy, but the Japanese definitely couldn't.
However, the 98th Brigade had lost 2550 people in this war. The worst was that the 387th Battalion had almost become a brigade, with only 950 people left.
The 387 Chief of Staff was still anxiously waiting for the brigade commander's arrangements.
The commander of the 98th Brigade, Ergong, couldn't be bothered to arrange for him. He was watching whether the 8th Route Army had released any news or written in the newspaper. As long as the 8th Route Army didn't write in the newspaper, I could conceal it.
It was mainly because Lieutenant General Xiaozhong usually paid attention to the enemy's newspapers. The national army's Eighth Route Army's newspapers would usually publish their military achievements.
Lieutenant General Xiaozhong had always wanted to be promoted to a general. As long as he plundered more resources and maintained the rule of Shanxi, he would eventually be promoted. The prerequisite was that the enemy did not make any big moves, and small moves could be hidden.
According to the report on the retreat of the US military in afghana, even the US military had more than 2 billion US dollars in corruption. The US military had been in afghana for 20 years and had spared no effort to build afghana. The supplies left behind after the retreat were almost all brand new. Even pakistani was jealous. Although most of them were conventional weapons of the US military, one could not help but think that others did not have them. (Now the Independent Regiment is jealous of the Japanese equipment.)
Of course, it was very difficult to be promoted. Only the commander-in-chief of North China could be promoted to a general. However, if one did not have the dream of being promoted, one would not be a good Japanese. As long as one wanted to be promoted, one would do very well (on the surface). If one had no desires, one would be pulled down by others, and one would not be able to advance.
Would the independent regiment, the new regiment, and the new regiment care about that reputation? If the war report was released and the Japanese saw it, they would attack. If Brigadier General Chen saw it, he would be rewarded with a few packs of cigarettes? There would be supplies to be handed over, but if the army saw it, would they give a certificate of merit? Give me some money? Then, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause in private.
Now, no one would even want a share of the legal currency. It was worthless and too small.
This was the tacit understanding of the battlefield. All three sides had to abide by it and maintain it. If anyone broke this tacit understanding, the pressure on the other side would be released.
It was precisely because the Japanese invaded Shanxi that they were attacked by guerilla forces every day.
There were more than 60 strongholds controlled by the 98th Brigade. Each stronghold had reported five casualties. It would take ten days to gather all the casualties. Of course, this was just an exaggeration. Under normal circumstances, if they missed out a little, they would have everything. (Three years to clear the prefect, 100,000 snowflake silver. Since ancient times, people have greed.)
In any case, the higher-ups usually had a lot of things to do, so they couldn't read the 8th route every day. Weren't their colleagues reporting the losses every day? The 8th route army attacked strongholds every day, so my battle report was nothing.
Anyway, the 387th regiment is still there. I'll just say that the 200 people in the Jade Shattering Regiment are perfect. They won't have to be criticized.
The Japanese had to turn big things into small things. Otherwise, if the exploration team leader was dismissed, they would have nothing to eat and drink. The benefits of the exploration team leader were very generous. Where else could they find such a profession?
Just look at the commander of the 358th regiment, Chu Yunfei. The chef was a chef hired from Shandong. He ate all kinds of delicacies and managed the entire regiment of more than 5000 people. He was awe-inspiring wherever he went. It was good to be a soldier during wartime, and even better to be a commander.
It was different for the 8th Route Army. The 387th Regiment had come to attack, and it was enough to attract the attention of the leaders. They were simply defeated and did not cause many casualties.
When the Japanese retreated, the entire independent regiment suffered losses. They did not find any resources in the surrounding base, so they did not pay attention to it.
This time, it was two regiments attacking and three regiments defending, and they even won. This was too eye-catching. If the intelligence officer of the boss could let it go, would the political committee not report it?
Brigadier General Chen had to come. Of course, he was nominally going to Shaanxi to report the situation. This time, he was passing by to see the next three regiments.
This time, Brigadier General Chen's focus was definitely on the independent regiment. Who asked the boss to find out the secret? Could these three regiments hide their battle results from the boss?
In the independent regiment command center, Brigadier General Chen was sitting while Regiment Commander Li was reporting.
As for Wang Yuanliang, he would definitely hide as far away as possible. Do you want to talk to the higher-ups?
I won't go into detail about Regiment Commander Li's report. Can you report it truthfully? No, the equipment has been distributed to the soldiers and the other two regiments. If you report it truthfully, how many will be left?
Fortunately, Brigade Commander Chen did not expose him. Who should he give the loot to? Southeastern Jin troops? Crossing the Japanese's firepower and transporting it from Northwest to Southeast? Brigadier General Chen's trip this time was not easy. The underground intelligence agents had contributed a lot.
Fortunately, Li Yunlong had been assigned to the other two groups. Forget it, this argument could not suppress Li Yunlong. He had to think of a way to beat him up.
"Li Yunlong! You're quite impressive this time. You commanded three regiments to defeat two Japanese regiments and didn't report it to me? Do you want to be the brigade commander?"
"Reporting to Brigadier General, I, Li Yunlong, definitely did not. I am not very far from you, so there is no way for me to report to you. Previously, I sent out many messengers, but there was no news.”Li Yunlong could only beg for mercy and did not dare to answer. "Brigadier General, the devils have already attacked. We didn't have time to ask you for instructions. I didn't dare to command those two regiments. I was just asking for help. They were all old comrades who used to sleep in the same dormitory. They saw that I was in trouble and came to help me. Brigadier general, please calm down.”
"Li Yunlong, you're really something. These two times, you've defeated a Japanese regiment many times. The base area has developed even bigger than mine. Why don't I make you a deputy brigade commander?”
"Brigadier General, I have been following you since the Long March. In terms of military achievements, qualifications, and commanding experience, I am not as good as you.”
"Favor? I think you want to be one. Since I'm at the headquarters, I'll give you a word of advice.”
"How can I be a brigade commander? Those two old comrades won't listen to my commands.”
"I don't care about that. It's your business if you can't command. If this is an order from the higher-ups, you won't be able to be the deputy brigade commander. You can go to the weapons factory to make weapons.”
"My brigade commander, please don't. I don't know how to read, so please don't mock me. I'll take it as it's okay. Look, I've prepared a banquet to welcome you.”
"Alright, let's talk about the banquet later. What methods do you have to fight the devils these two times? Take them out and let the other troops learn from them.”
"Brigadier, there must be. We have a sniper company commander here, Wang Yuanliang. With his marksmanship, he can kill a Japanese player with a single shot from 900 meters away. Not only is he strong, but he also leads the sniper company and has trained more than 50 sniper soldiers.”
"Is that so? If there's such a person, bring him over for me to take a look.”
"Brigadier General, what a coincidence. He went out in the afternoon. I heard that he went to a stronghold 83 kilometers away and will only be back tomorrow afternoon.”
"Alright then, forget about it this time. You better be more careful in the future and train your troops to fight the Japanese. You have to take good care of the other two regiments. After the order is given, if you retreat when fighting the Japanese, I'll ask you.”
"Don't worry, Brigadier General. I promise to complete the mission.”
Brigadier General Chen and Li Yunlong had a simple meal at the regiment command center and rushed to the headquarters early the next morning.
