Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Under such circumstances, Yan Laoxi felt that the Japanese were too powerful and his Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was definitely no match for them.

Moreover, although the bald man was ostensibly the supreme leader of the War of Resistance, he actually still had ulterior motives.

In addition to continuing to pay compensation to Xiao Ri, they even retreated from Nanjing to Wuhan and even Chongqing.

They did not forget to take away the embassy staff who were doing their daily lives.

It would be strange to say that the bald man didn't have any ideas.

Even before December 41, before the Ugly Country declared war on the Japanese.

The bald guy didn't declare war on the Japanese, even though his own capital was being slaughtered like that.

But the bald guys did not declare war on the Japanese.

Therefore, under such circumstances, if you say that Yan Laoxi has the confidence to hold out until the Japanese are defeated and win the final victory, isn’t this just a fantasy?

At the same time, the emergence of the Eighth Route Army also posed a hindrance to Yan Laoxi's control over the land in northwestern Shanxi.

The Eighth Route Army has gained widespread support and endorsement from the people and is no longer a force that can be ignored or easily exploited.

They might even join forces with other forces to overthrow the foundation of his rule in northwestern Shanxi, which would be absolutely unacceptable to a warlord like Yan Laoxi.

Because of this, for Yan Laoxi, the threat of the Eighth Route Army and Chiang Kai-shek's inhumanity instead prompted him to have the illusion that Xiao Zi was an object with which he could cooperate.

Moreover, in Yan Laoxi's opinion, the Japanese devils are really difficult to defeat, and to be honest, the prospects of the War of Resistance are really pessimistic.

Instead of doing this, it is better to get on the train and surrender to the enemy early, and join forces with Xiao Rizi to deal with the Eighth Route Army. In the future, if Xiao Rizi takes over the Central Plains.

After all, I can be considered a meritorious person.

Because of this, the Japanese were very happy to send representatives to secretly contact Yan Laoxi.

The Japanese also offered Yan Laoxi a lot of conditions to tempt him to join or even surrender to the Japanese.

The Japanese naturally had their own plans for luring Yan Laoxi to surrender. They also hoped to weaken the resistance by luring the powerful local warlords to surrender.

Then better implement your own invasion plan.

Therefore, Yan Laoxi's collusion with the Japanese was actually a very beneficial choice for both parties.

But Yan Laoxi is not a fool after all, he also knows what the consequences of being a traitor and a collaborator will be.

If I succeed, not only will my reputation be ruined, but the Japanese might even abandon me.

If the Japanese failed to succeed in the end, Yan Laoxi would still be executed as a traitor.

Therefore, asking Yan Laoxi to rely on Xiao Li was a very serious matter in Yan Laoxi's view.

To the extent that when the Japanese representatives came into contact with him, Yan Laoxi always behaved very tough.

This naturally made the Japanese very unhappy.

But although Yan Laoxi knew that for his own benefit, he had to be tough to the end, his purpose was to gain more benefits for himself.

Because of this, last month, Okamura Neiji sent representatives to contact and negotiate with Yan Laoxi again but failed.

Okamura Neiji also decided to teach Yan Laoxi a lesson. He immediately ordered Zhushan Hui's regiment to take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the headquarters of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

He wanted to wipe out the entire 358th Regiment and give Yan Laoxi a warning so that he would agree to cooperate with the Japanese as soon as possible.

Of course, Chu Yunfei didn’t know about these things. After all, these things were top secret.

But it was also because of Okamura Neiji's actions that the 772nd Regiment was given a godsend opportunity.

He immediately recovered Heli County.

Chu Yunfei served as a tool for the 772nd Regiment, which also allowed Zhang Ling to successfully lead the 772nd Regiment to recover Heli County.

Not only did the 772nd Regiment finally have a base for independent development, but it also obtained a large amount of weapons, ammunition and supplies.

Moreover, there are many good things stored in the warehouse in Heli County.

For the 772nd Regiment, which was in urgent need of weapons and ammunition, these were like a sleepy face meeting a pillow.

Most importantly, the 772nd Regiment also seized a radio station.

Radio, good stuff.

You have to know that the Eighth Route Army was really poor at that time.

Radio stations are only equipped at the brigade level, and regimental-level combat units basically do not have radio stations.

However, after this battle, the 772nd Regiment became the first unit in the Eighth Route Army to have a radio station at the regimental level.

It can be said that Zhang Ling decisively led the 772nd Regiment to attack Heli County this time, allowing the 772nd Regiment to make a fortune.

This made the whole group very excited.

However, this is not Zhang Ling's ultimate goal.

After the 772nd Regiment completely occupied Heli County, in the next five days.

Zhang Ling asked the comrades in the Intelligence Bureau and the Operations Bureau to quickly draw up a plan to eliminate the traitors and potential threats in the city.

Then take five days to eliminate all potential threats within Heli County.

And successfully stabilized the situation in Heli County and related work.

After Zhang Ling and others worked non-stop for several days.

Heli County has finally been completely stabilized.

Then, Zhang Ling went to the warehouse alone and asked his guards to stand guard nearby.

No one was allowed in without his order.

After entering the warehouse, Zhang Ling looked at everything inside the warehouse.

At his request, the 772nd Regiment temporarily renovated the warehouse originally built by the Japanese.

Most of it was used as food for the enemy troops.

This is what Zhang Ling requested.

He exchanged some refrigeration equipment through the system mall, which could convert the warehouse into a cold storage and installed it in the warehouse.

Zhang Ling didn't know how these refrigeration equipment worked.

Anyway, after it is exchanged, it can be used directly, and the energy drive is based on the system's explanation.

It is like a special energy stone, and this energy stone is probably only as big as a thumb.

But it can provide a refrigeration equipment with 100 years of operation.

This saved Zhang Ling from having to worry about electricity.

After the refrigeration equipment was installed, Zhang Ling exchanged tens of thousands of tons of various materials through the system mall.

These include various foods, medical supplies, as well as cotton clothes for winter and military uniforms for summer.

These were all redeemed by Zhang Ling through the system mall.

And these things are basically the best things for points.

It was about 6000 tons. Zhang Ling calculated that it was enough to feed the people in the regiment for at least a year or so.

Then, Zhang Ling directly exchanged the remaining points for a large number of Type 56 semi-automatic rifles.

Also, each gun was issued with 1000 rounds of ammunition.

The reason for exchanging such light weapons is that the 772nd Regiment is currently short of guns and ammunition.

Using the points in his hand, Zhang Ling can redeem at least 2000 swords.

In addition, each Type 56 rifle comes with 1000 rounds of bullets, and Zhang Ling uses his points to give another 1000 rounds.

That means 2000 soldiers each have a Type 56 rifle and 2000 rounds of ammunition.

The combat effectiveness of the 772nd Regiment must at least be raised to a higher level.
