Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

The enthusiasm for training spread from the independent regiment to the entire 386th Brigade, and Yan Laoxi also noticed that the base area had burst into unprecedented vitality.

The Eighth Route Army has indeed fought several brilliant battles recently, especially the Guanjiazhai Battle, in which the Yamazaki Battalion was completely annihilated, and the Dushan Battle, in which the Katayama Regiment was defeated, and both were commended by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs.

Therefore, Yan Laoxi organized an observation group from the Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army of the Second War Zone to go and have a look, and learn the skill of the old cat climbing a tree.

A group of seven or eight people in the observation group rode fast horses and ran to the Eighth Route Army's defense zone. The Eighth Route Army soldiers who had been waiting for a long time saluted.

"Commanders, welcome to visit our Eighth Route Army. There is a base of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment nearby. Is there anyone you want to visit? If not, we will go to the division headquarters!"

Chu Yunfei, commander of the 386th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, raised the whip in his hand.

"386th Brigade Independent Regiment? Li Yunlong's troops?"

"That's right, Captain Li's troops."

"Brother, please lead the way. I want to go and take a look."

The Eighth Route Army made a gesture towards the valley, and the messenger rushed out on horseback, saluted, and took Chu Yunfei to the independent regiment’s base.

As soon as Chu Yunfei arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw dense tire tracks.

"Little brother, does your independent regiment have a car?"

"Sir, there are some. Shall I take you to the regiment headquarters?"

Chu Yunfei waved his hands. He thought he was just bragging. The Eighth Route Army was usually very poor and they were running out of bullets. How could they have cars? He was probably just bragging!

"I'll just walk around the village!"

The messenger trotted over and found Li Yunlong and Wang Meng who were wandering around the village.

"Report to the commander, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army Observation Group has sent someone, the commander of the 358th Regiment, Chu Yunfei."

Li Yunlong got angry when he heard it. It was the 358th Regiment again.

Recalling the Battle of Xinkou, Li Yunlong led the New 358st Regiment to cross the Yellow River, but the th Regiment guarding the ferry refused to let them cross.

The reason is that the New 1st Regiment is not included in the organization chart of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs.

Finally, they crossed the Yellow River by following behind the 772nd Regiment of Cheng Xiazi. Cheng Xiazi later told everyone that Li Yunlong was able to cross the Yellow River by following behind him because of his help.

"Captain, should we hide our artillery?"

"No need. Northwest Shanxi is so small that even if you fart, you can smell the stench everywhere. You can't hide it for long. Just hide the 150mm infantry gun."

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he asked Monk Wei to call Zhao Gang, and the three of them walked towards the training ground at the entrance of the village.

The training ground was bustling with activity, as the special forces company was conducting shooting training.

Chu Yunfei became interested when he saw the pitch-black Type 95 rifles in the special forces company's hands and the desert camouflage on the soldiers.

This camouflage outfit, hiding in the thatch, really blends in with the environment. Even if you stare closely, you can't tell it.

Li Yunlong coughed lightly twice.

"Li Yunlong, the commander of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment."

"Political Commissar Zhao Gang."

Chu Yunfei stretched out his hand.

"Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, I have long heard of your great name, Commander Li. The entire Second War Zone and even the Ministry of Military Affairs can hear the resounding name of the Independent Regiment. We defeated the Sakata Brigade head-on, annihilated the Yamazaki Battalion at Guanjiazhai, and defeated the Katayama Brigade at Dushan. Even the Chairman personally issued a commendation order!"

"Hahaha, our Old Li is still so famous? The chairman even issued a commendation order? Didn't they find the number of our independent regiment in the organization table of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs?"

Chu Yunfei naturally knew that Li Yunlong was referring to the incident at the Yellow River ferry that year.

"Haha, Captain Li, that's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore. We are all fighting under the banner of the devils now, under the unified leadership of the Second War Zone and Chairman Chiang, so let's look forward!"

Li Yunlong had no interest in such official jargon, so he pointed to the training ground in front of him.

"Captain Chu, do you want to take a look here or go to the regiment headquarters?"

"Sitting in the regiment headquarters and drinking tea, observing and learning are all done by the officials. Although I, Chu Yunfei, don't have the demeanor of a great general, I still want to learn from your army, so let's watch on the training ground!"

After Chu Yunfei finished speaking, he left the training ground. Wei Dayong, the acting company commander of the special forces company, immediately stopped shooting and organized the soldiers to line up.

Except for the lack of throat-vibrator intercoms and night vision goggles, the special forces company's other equipment, including firearms, bulletproof vests, helmets, etc., are exactly the same as those of the special forces.

The more than 130 special forces team members were in high spirits and full of fighting spirit, and they saluted in unison.

Chu Yunfei walked up to Wang Xikui and touched his sniper rifle and optical sight.

"Brother, is this a sniper rifle?"

"Report to the commander, yes!"

Li Yunlong didn't waste any words. He pointed to the target three hundred meters away and signaled Wang Xikui to shoot.

Wang Xikui lay on the ground, held up the sniper rifle, put his face on the butt of the gun, pulled the trigger, and there was a bang.

Chu Yunfei took a look through the telescope and saw that a clod of earth 300 meters away was shattered and turned into yellow smoke in the sky.

"Okay! Well done!"

Chu Yunfei then touched the 95 automatic rifle on Wei Dayong's back.

"Brother, can you lend it to me, Chu, to have a look?"

Li Yunlong nodded, and Wei Dayong handed the rifle, which he treated like his beloved wife, to Chu Yunfei, and then taught him how to turn on the safety and pull the bolt.

Chu Yunfei stood in front of the target and pulled the trigger, "da da da".

"Haha, Captain Chu is a great shooter. He hit all the targets, reaching the standard of our reconnaissance company!"

Chu Yunfei took a look at this nice gun and couldn't let it go, and he didn't care about Li Yunlong's teasing.

"What a nice gun! Is it a foreign product?"

"Haha, I don't know either. Anyway, it was captured from the devils."

Chu Yunfei despised Li Yunlong a hundred times in his heart. How could you seize such good equipment? And more than a hundred at a time?

Chu Yunfei returned the gun to Wei Heshang and glanced at the 92 pistol on Wei Heshang's waist.

"Brother, take another look at your pistol?"

Monk Wei took out his pistol and fired at the target again.

"Good guys! They are all good guys! Captain Li, your individual weapons are so good now that they are outrageous!"

"Alas, only these one hundred or so people have better equipment. These are all the equipment that the entire regiment has put together. The other soldiers are using all kinds of guns."

"Really?"

Chu Yunfei took out two Browning pistols from his pocket and fired at the target again.

"Captain Li, we are all brothers fighting against the Japanese. These two guns, one male and one female, I'll give you the female one! Let's work together sincerely to fight against the Japanese!"

"Hahaha, if you're going to give a gift, give a male one. I'll be laughed at if I, a grown man, go out with a female one!"

"Okay, I'll give you the Xiong one. Captain Li, I have an unwelcome request. Can we call each other brothers from now on to make each other closer?"

"Of course, of course. Brother Chu, let's go and take a look ahead?"
