Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

The boss was also smoking a cigarette, looking confused.

"Logically speaking, the 772nd Regiment was doomed to be annihilated from the moment it was surrounded by the Sakata Regiment."

"But I still don't understand how Zhang Ling led the remaining 200 soldiers to wipe out the Sakata regiment."

"To be honest, when I heard the news, I was just as shocked as you. I couldn't believe it. It was really unbelievable."

"From any perspective, the 772nd Regiment cannot completely wipe out the Sakata Regiment. Even if all of your 129th Division attacks together, they may not be a match for the Sakata Regiment."

"But the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has also personally confirmed this news, and our own intelligence system has also confirmed this news. It is indeed true."

"Also, Zhang Ling has sent someone to deliver the Sakata Brigade's flag to the headquarters. It should be on the way now."

"So, the story about Zhang Ling leading 200 people to wipe out the Sakata Brigade should not be false."

At this time, the political commissar next to the division commander was also surprised and happy: "My God, our 129th Division may have produced a big figure."

"Even if our 129th Division could wipe out a regiment of the Japanese, it would be unthinkable, let alone Zhang Ling only has 200 people with him."

"It was still just 200 people who were defeated. This can't even be described as defeating a larger force with a smaller one. This is simply Xiang Yu in the world."

The commander also took a breath of cold air.

He really couldn't understand how a battalion commander of the 772nd Regiment under his command could have such powerful means.

The strength of both sides is completely unequal to this point. How did he achieve this?

At this time, the chief of staff of the headquarters saw that the division commander, political commissar and others couldn't figure it out, so he came over happily and revealed the answer.

The chief of staff told the division commander, the political commissar of the 129th Division and others the details of how Zhang Ling used the coal and coal mines buried under Cangyun Ridge as a fuse to detonate the entire Cangyun Ridge position, directly killing the entire Sakata Regiment in Cangyun Ridge.

The division commander and the political commissar listened attentively, with incredible expressions on their faces.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ling is such a smart person and could come up with such an idea.

However, this can also explain why 200 people were able to wipe out the elite of the Sakata Regiment.

Isn’t this what is called having the right time, the right place, and the right people?

Only after hearing the chief of staff's words did the division commander come to his senses.

"No wonder Zhang Ling was able to completely wipe out the Sakata Brigade. It turns out that he made use of the coal and coal mines buried under the Cangyun Ridge."

The commander did know Zhang Ling.

Although Zhang Ling joined the army not too early, he still went through the Long March with these old leaders.

When Li Yunlong was teaching a blind man how to shoot, Zhang Ling was still being taught how to use a Red Guard.

At this time, the boss also looked at the division commander: "Okay, now you know the details."

"This Zhang Ling is a treasure. We must protect such a treasure well."

"Tell me, what do you plan to let him do in the future?"

This concerns Zhang Ling's future prospects.

In this era, there were not many people in the Eighth Route Army who could command battles, and those who could fight such a miraculous battle were even rarer.

Therefore, the boss must want to see how the commander of the 129th Division arranges it.

If the arrangement is not good, the boss may ask for the person directly.

If we send such talents to the headquarters for a few years of training, there is no need to worry that they cannot become generals.

Upon hearing this, the division commander immediately understood what the boss meant: "Zhang Ling led 200 people to perform great merits. Since the headquarters has confirmed this, there is no problem."

"The 772nd Regiment is now almost destroyed. The remaining 200 people must be the spark of reconstruction."

"My idea is, why not let Zhang Ling be the acting head of the 772nd Regiment and see how he performs in the future?"

"Acting group leader?" The boss frowned. "You hold this official hat in your hand. Do you want to have a baby? Or what do you want to do?"

"Zhang Ling's achievements are enough to be seen internationally, so you'll just give him an agent?"

"I think you should just be an acting division commander." The boss said angrily.

The commander quickly apologized with a smile: "Hey, Boss, I'm just worried that he might get too proud."

"There is no deputy. He is the regimental commander. The task of rebuilding the 772nd Regiment is given to him and those 200 soldiers."

"But he is still young after all, and he has become the regiment commander. I'm worried that he will get into trouble out of his arrogance." The division commander said worriedly.

The chief of staff then said cheerfully: "It is inevitable for people to make mistakes. A comrade who knows his mistakes and can correct them is a good comrade."

"Besides, since he is the head of a regiment, he can't be without helpers. Let's assign him a political commissar with strong military qualities and abilities."

"Having culture and ideals complements each other perfectly."

The Chief of Staff's words were agreed by everyone.

"Then who should we send?" the commander asked curiously.

The chief of staff thought for a moment and said to the boss, "Boss, I remember there was a top student named Zhao Gang in the Anti-Japanese University."

"Although this person is an intellectual, he has ideals and drive. He can be sent to the 772nd Regiment for training. What do you think, Boss?"

After hearing this, the boss thought for a moment and said, "I have heard of Zhao Gang, but he is an intellectual after all."

"You also know that the people in this army are all rough and uncouth. If you don't have some skills, you won't be able to control them."

"What if Zhang Ling has a stubborn temper? Then Zhao Gang will be..."

The chief of staff smiled slightly and said, "If you don't polish jade, you won't be able to make it into anything useful. You have to suffer a little to know what's good for you."

The teacher nodded when he heard it: "Yes, yes, it's just right for the two of them to supervise each other."

"The Chief of Staff's suggestion is good. It's Zhao Gang. It's Zhao Gang."

Then the general said to the division commander: "The 772nd Regiment has made such a great contribution. We commend the entire 772nd Regiment with first-class merit."

"The commander of the 3rd Battalion, Zhang Ling, has been promoted to the commander of the 772nd Regiment. As the division commander, you should lead the 772nd Regiment to hold a memorial service for the soldiers who died in this battle."

"Oh, by the way, give some pork, grain, sweet potato stew, etc. to the 772nd Regiment so that the soldiers can have a good rest and eat and drink enough so that they can continue to fight the Japanese."

Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don't have enough food, you will not survive.

Originally, Zhang Ling planned to apply to be the commander of the 772nd Regiment.

Unexpectedly, the boss had already appointed him as the team leader and assigned Zhao Gang to him.

If Zhang Ling didn't know it now, he would be so happy if he knew it.

Moreover, Zhang Ling's promotion this time is a big step forward.

It is not just a simple step from battalion commander to regiment commander.

It also includes positions such as deputy regiment commander, regiment political commissar, regiment chief of staff, and director of the regiment political department.

The ancients often said three consecutive promotions.

This time, Zhang Ling was promoted N levels in a row!
