Bright Sword: Koi, we have reached the enemy's base camp

As soon as the guerrilla fighter saw Brigade Commander Chen, he knew he was the leader.

He stood at attention and said, "Reporting to the commander, we are Wang Hao, deputy squad leader of the kitchen squad of the first company of the new first regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

You cannot salute on the battlefield. This is the rule of the Eighth Route Army.

gah...

The troops of Wang Hao, deputy squad leader of the cooking squad of the New 1st Regiment?

Brigade Commander Chen Ya was stunned.

The chief of staff was also stunned.

Everyone, including the political commissar, was stunned.

Wang Hao, he saw this name in the telegram sent by Lowe yesterday.

I know that he is the deputy squad leader of the new regiment’s kitchen squad.

But, he was just a deputy monitor!

A deputy squad leader led you to kill a battalion of Japanese devils?

This was really more shocking than when he received Lowe's telegram yesterday.

Just unbelievable.

Even if this news was confirmed, he wouldn't dare to send it to the boss!

If he dared to send it, the boss would scold him for lying about military intelligence.

Even though they were already on the battlefield, they didn't dare to believe it. Would the boss believe it?

The leaders looked at each other.

Brigade Commander Chen asked in disbelief, "Are you sure you are really Wang Hao's soldiers from the New 1st Regiment's kitchen squad?"

The soldier quickly said: "Report to the commander, I am sure."

Brigade Commander Chen didn't know what to say, so he could only ask, "Where is your deputy squad leader Wang Hao now?"

The soldier said quickly, "I heard from our platoon leader that they are now attacking Heyuan City. They should be at the east gate of Heyuan City. You should be able to find him there."

The three leaders and their Eighth Route Army soldiers were confused again.

What is this mess?

Isn't Wang Hao a deputy squad leader? How come there is another platoon leader?

The most important thing is, what the hell is the point of attacking Heyuan City?

Brigade Commander Chen asked quickly, "Are you attacking Heyuan City? How many people do you have?"

As he spoke of this, the warrior's eyes dimmed and a sad expression appeared.

There was no way out. In this battle, more than half of their comrades were lost.

There were originally 100 people, but now there are probably only about 50 people left.

Just at this moment, a platoon leader under Wang Hao hurried over with a few people.

"I'm sorry, Commander, I've kept you waiting. I'm Li Ming, the platoon leader of the New 1st Regiment's kitchen squad. May I ask who you are?"

Brigade Commander Chen stood at attention in front of him to show his respect, and then said, "I am the brigade commander. I have never heard of a platoon leader named Li Ming in the New 1st Regiment's kitchen squad! Who are you?"

Yes, Brigade Commander Chen often went down to comfort the soldiers, but he felt that these people were so unfamiliar.

The most important thing is, how can a platoon leader be a member of a kitchen squad? Isn't this nonsense?

All of this seems so weird.

If he hadn't seen these people fighting the Japanese just now, he would never have believed that they were his own people.

Li Ming was startled and said quickly: "Report to the brigade commander, I will take you to see our first mate now. After you meet him, you will understand."

What the hell is the first mate?

Brigade Commander Chen almost went crazy.

It really is getting more and more confusing the more I talk.

"Okay, lead the way. We'll talk on the way."

Brigade Commander Chen had no choice but to let Li Ming lead the way to meet Wang Hao.

He felt that he couldn't explain it clearly to these people.

"Yes. Please follow me, Chief."

Li Ming hurriedly led the way.

Brigade Commander Chen and Li Ming walked side by side.

"Um, Comrade Li Ming, how many people are there in your unit?"

This is the issue that Brigade Commander Chen and his colleagues are most concerned about.

They guessed that this force had at least three to two thousand people, otherwise, it would not have been possible to wipe out a large group of Japanese devils so easily.

Li Ming spoke truthfully: "Reporting to the brigade commander, we had 110 people before the battle with the Japanese. Then I just counted them, and there should be no more than 70 people."

The data he mentioned included Wang Hao, Duan Peng and others.

In fact, of the 100 people brought by the guerrillas, there are only more than 50 left now.

Almost half of it was lost.

"What? You only have one company of troops?"

Brigade Commander Chen was surprised.

The chief of staff and the political commissar were also shocked.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers who heard this also widened their eyes and looked at Li Ming in disbelief.

Li Ming nodded and said, "Yes, our original number was exactly 111."

"Then how did you kill this group of Japanese soldiers? I heard that you are still attacking Heyuan City?"

Brigade Commander Chen asked in shock. The defense was almost broken.

Li Ming said: "It is thanks to the wise leadership of our first mate that we won a great victory."

Brigade Commander Chen was speechless and said, "When did my New 1st Regiment have the position of first mate?"

The others also looked at Li Ming speechlessly.

Forehead?

Li Ming said somewhat embarrassedly: "Brigade Commander, it is like this. In fact, before our unit was established, it was a guerrilla force near Heyuan City.

The night before yesterday, our captain brought us here to receive the weapons and ammunition seized from Heyuan City.

At the same time, we were left with three platoons, a total of 100 people, and handed over to our deputy squad leader Wang Hao for leadership. That's how our unit came into being.

We were not originally members of the New 1st Regiment. Because our deputy squad leader had three platoon leaders under him and he could not be promoted to company commander himself, we called him the first mate.

Otherwise, it would be bad for a deputy squad leader to command three platoon leaders."

"Haha... So that's how this first mate came about! Haha..."

The chief of staff next to him couldn't help laughing.

The political commissar laughed and said, "This kid is quite interesting. He can even lead his own troops. Interesting."

Brigade Commander Chen couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing, Brigade Commander Chen asked, "Then tell me, how did you kill a battalion of Japanese soldiers with only one company's strength?"

This is the most important thing.

Li Ming quickly said: "It is thanks to the wise leadership of our first mate that we were able to win this great victory."

Brigade Commander Chen was speechless.

The chief of staff and the political commissar were also speechless.

Why does this guy keep saying this over and over again?

How would they know?

Those who were taught by Wang Hao would not reveal Wang Hao's secrets, no matter who they were or whether Wang Hao had explained it or not.

The three leaders are all shrewd people. How could they not see what Li Ming was thinking? I know that I can't get anything out of you.

"Interesting. Now, I can't wait to meet this guy."

He just took over a guerrilla force of a hundred people and was able to wipe out a battalion of Japanese invaders.

Moreover, he can make his soldiers protect him so much.

This Wang Hao is definitely not a simple person.

The east gate of Heyuan City.

Wang Hao had no idea that Brigade Commander Chen had arrived.

He was still there commanding Xiao Cao to bombard the Heyuan city wall, in order to scare the Japanese and puppet troops and force them to surrender.

Yes, he would not be so stupid as to attack the city with such a small number of people.

He wanted to make these puppet soldiers lose hope and slowly fall into despair.

Once the pressure is enough, according to Wang Hao's understanding of these puppet troops, they will most likely fight among themselves.
