Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Da Mu had no objection to Zhou Weiguo and Liu Wu's arrangement, he just wanted to meet the boss.

He has turned over a new leaf and is loyal to China.

He now hates the fascist bandits from the bottom of his heart.

He agreed to infiltrate Yamamoto's special forces only after his boss threatened his life, but now he really believes in his boss.

"It will probably take another half a month for the commander to come back, so you should stay in Taiyuan first and do some intelligence translation work for us. Wait for the commander to come back and see how he arranges you," said Zhou Weiguo.

Although Da Mu was a devil in the past, he is now his comrade.

For matters like this, we should just follow Oki's own wishes.

"Thank you, Captain Zhou and Minister Liu." Da Mu bowed.

"Oh, Weiguo, I have another thing to do today. The headquarters has incorporated Kong Jie's unit from the New Second Regiment into our First Division. They will arrive in Taiyuan today. Come with me to welcome them."

After talking about Damu, Liu Wu got to the point.

In order to show his importance to Kong Jie, Liu Wu decided to find someone with a higher position to receive him together.

After much thought, only Zhou Weiguo and Fang Zheng spoke and behaved properly. However, Fang Zheng was busy with Chu Yunfei's matters and could not spare the time. After much thought, Zhou Weiguo was the only one who could go.

"The New Second Regiment? Sure! I heard that the New Second Regiment has more than 6,000 soldiers, and they all have combat experience. They are very valuable to us. Let's go. I'll go with you." Zhou Weiguo said in surprise.

He knew that Kong Jie was also a great general.

Including the 6,000 men brought by Kong Jie and the 1,500 men brought by Chu Yunfei, this time the first division recruited a total of 40,000 troops.

Together with the original force, Division 1 now has more than 50,000 troops.

The strength of an army is more than enough.

"Let's go. Kong Jie and the others should be here soon. We should go pick them up early and not be late." Liu Wu said and went out first.

Zhou Weiguo and Da Mu followed closely behind.

……

Ten miles outside Taiyuan city.

"Commander, Taiyuan is ahead. Look... it seems to be people from the First Division. Are they here to pick us up?" Gao Shan, the chief of staff of the New Second Regiment, said, pointing in the direction of Taiyuan.

"It's indeed the people from the first division. Judging from the formation, they are here to pick us up. Let's go! Speed ​​up!" Kong Jie picked up the telescope and saw that the formation of a company in front was standing in neat order.

There was also a gong and drum team, which seemed to be invited by local villagers.

In front were several cadres from a sub-district, eagerly waiting.

In the formation, military flags were fluttering and the soldiers were holding a banner.

The letter reads, "Warmly welcome the comrades of the New Second Regiment."

The large force of the New Second Regiment marched towards Taiyuan at an accelerated speed.

……

"Old Liu, people are coming! Folks, beat the gongs and welcome our comrades!" Zhou Weiguo also saw the New Second Regiment running over and gave the order.

"Boom-boom-boom!"

"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"

"Welcome comrades from the New Second Regiment!!"

Following Zhou Weiguo's order, the gong and drum team began to beat gongs and drums, and the soldiers also shouted words of welcome.

The atmosphere was warm...

"Welcome, Comrade Kong Jie. I am Liu Wu, the logistics director and chief of staff of the First Division. On behalf of all the comrades in the First Division, I would like to welcome the comrades of the new Second Regiment!" Liu Wu took a few steps forward, held Kong Jie's hands, and said happily.

"Thank you very much, thank you very much, Minister Liu, for coming to pick us up! Thank you so much!" Kong Jie was also very excited and said while holding Liu Wu's hand.

He didn't expect that the First Division would send out cadres of all ranks to welcome them, and he was very excited.

This also shows the importance that the First Division attaches to their new Second Regiment.

"Come, Comrade Kong Jie, let me introduce you. This is the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment Zhou Weiguo, the commander of the Artillery Regiment Wang Chengzhu, deputy commanders Wang Erhu and Han Guang, and the commander of the Machine Gun Regiment Zhao Dahai..." Liu Wu took Kong Jie's hand and came in front of a group of cadres from the First Division and introduced them one by one.

"Hello, Comrade Kong Jie..."

"Hello... Hello..."

The cadres shook hands with Kong Jie one by one.

Kong Jie also introduced the main cadres of the New Second Regiment to Liu Wu and others.

The soldiers also greeted each other.

The soldiers of the New Second Regiment were very excited when they received the order to be incorporated into the First Division.

The First Division has now become a holy place in the hearts of all Eighth Route Army soldiers.

In their view, being able to join a sub-district is a great blessing.

The scene was very lively.

"Comrade Kong Jie, let's go into the city. Comrades, you have been traveling for several days and you must be tired. Wash up and take a rest. We will have a welcome banquet in the evening to welcome everyone!" Liu Wu looked at the time and said to Kong Jie.

"Okay, okay, to be honest, our weapons and most of the baggage have been handed over to the brigade headquarters. We have been traveling light these days, so we are not that tired. Since Minister Liu is ready, I would like to thank you on behalf of the soldiers of the New Second Regiment!"

Kong Jie laughed and said, then waved his hand: "Comrades, enter the city!"

Before the New Second Regiment set out, the brigade commander sent people and vehicles to collect most of the weapons, equipment and supplies of the New Second Regiment.

When the new Second Regiment arrives at the First Division, it will be completely re-equipped with weapons and equipment of the First Division.

The brigade commander took into consideration that Kong Jie and his companions had to hurry and it would be difficult for them to travel with so many things.

Once they arrived at the destination and changed their equipment, the weapons and equipment became tattered and it took up too much space to keep them in the warehouse.

Then send it back to the brigade headquarters. Going back and forth is a waste of time and energy.

It would be better to collect it in advance, so that Kong Jie and his companions will have less burden and can travel more easily on the road.

The weapons and equipment of the new Second Regiment are not bad either, and the brigade can take them away to equip other troops.

Kill two birds with one stone.

At first, when the soldiers heard that they had to hand in their weapons, they were very reluctant.

This is their close comrade-in-arms who they spend every day with.

The guns in their hands were treasured and were captured from the Japanese.

But later Kong Jie did some ideological work and told the soldiers that better weapons and equipment would be waiting for them when they arrived at the first division.

The soldiers then reluctantly handed over their weapons.

Liu Wu and others brought the New Second Regiment to the military camp in the city. Everything here overturned the cognition of the soldiers of the New Second Regiment.

Huge and heavy tanks, guns that had never been seen before, and cannons with long and thick barrels.

The mental outlook of the soldiers here is also different from that of ordinary troops.

Everyone's face is filled with confidence, with an invincible aura that radiates from the inside out.

Even Kong Jie was surprised.

He had come into contact with Division One in Yi County before, but at that time Division One did not have this kind of momentum. It has only been a few days, and it has developed to this extent.

"Plane! Look, that's our plane!" At this time, the sound of a plane whistling was heard from the sky, and a soldier looked up and exclaimed.

This is a MiG-15 fighter jet on a divisional patrol.

“This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of plane!”

"Faster than the Japs' planes!"

"We have our own plane now!"

"So beautiful! So beautiful!!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers all looked up with joy on their faces and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
