Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

With the experience of attacking the Japanese outpost at the small mountain pass last time, it was even easier for Zhang Dabiao to deal with the Fujiaopo outpost.

In less than ten minutes, the Fujiaopo outpost was taken down.

Of course, the reason why it happened so quickly was that when the puppet soldiers in the outpost saw the fierce firepower of the Eighth Route Army, they killed the Japanese in the house without saying a word, as a token of their surrender.

"After passing this outpost, we won't encounter any more devils later."

Looking at the flames at the Fujiaopo outpost, Zhang Dabiao said to Zhao Tianyang who was watching the excitement on the side.

"What to do with these prisoners?"

Zhao Tianyang asked as he looked at the twenty or so puppet soldiers squatting on the side of the road.

“I have no choice but to bring it with me!”

Zhang Dabiao also had a headache. He couldn’t just kill them all!

"Take them first and let them pull the cart. When we get to the brigade headquarters, we'll hand them over to the brigade commander."

It was not that Zhang Dabiao was unwilling to absorb these puppet soldiers who had taken up guns into the New 1st Regiment, but it was because these puppet soldiers were incapable of achieving great things.

Not only are they all thugs, they can't even hold a gun steadily. It would be more convenient to train those kids from good families than to train them.

The next day, at the foot of a hill, Zhao Tianyang looked up at the endless mountain road and couldn't help feeling tired.

"The flatbed cart is not easy to move on the road behind, so we have to carry it by people."

Zhang Dabiao came over and said, "Director Zhao, I've sent someone to notify the brigade to pick us up. Let the workers take a break, and I'll have the soldiers push the carts!"

"Row."

Zhao Tianyang did not refuse. Along the way, for fear of delaying the battle of the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment, the workers of the arsenal took turns pushing the cart.

Many workers had blisters on their feet and really couldn't bear it any longer.

After the soldiers took over the cart, they walked for another twenty or thirty minutes, and then a group of soldiers holding ropes came running over from a distance.

"Report, the brigade has sent someone to pick us up!"

A soldier who was exploring the way came back and reported.

"Great!"

Zhang Dabiao breathed a sigh of relief. The mountain road was difficult to navigate and pushing a cart weighing dozens or hundreds of kilograms was not a job that a human could do.

With the support of the brigade, there is strength in numbers. Originally, five or six soldiers pushed a cart, but now it is more than ten soldiers pushing a cart. The efficiency has increased immediately, and even the difficult mountain roads have become easier to walk on.

Two hours later, in an unnamed mountain village, Zhang Dabiao, Zhao Tianyang, Liu Lao and others arrived at the brigade headquarters of the 386th Brigade.

"Report, New 1st Regiment, Zhang Dabiao has been ordered to escort all employees of the Arsenal. Please give instructions after the mission is completed!"

"Haha, put your hands down."

The brigade commander came over with a smile and asked: "Why doesn't Li Yunlong come in person?"

"Reporting to the brigade commander, the regiment commander said that the Japanese nearby have been making unusual movements recently, and he wants to stay behind to guard the New 1st Regiment in case of any accidents!"

Zhang Dabiao answered seriously.

"Hahaha, Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong!"

The brigade commander smiled and shook his head: "You go down and rest first, we will talk about Li Yunlong later."

"Yes."

Zhang Dabiao saluted and left the room.

"Comrade Liu Ding, please take a seat first. I want to chat with Comrade Zhao Tianyang!"

The brigade commander looked at Liu Ding standing beside him and said.

"Okay, you guys chat. I'm tired after walking all the way."

Old Liu nodded, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Sit here."

The brigade commander led Zhao Tianyang to sit aside and asked with a smile: "You shot down four planes this time. Logically, you should be notified to the whole army and be awarded a big red flower."

"I'm just giving you a certificate now, don't think too much about it, it's for your protection!"

"I know!"

Zhao Tianyang nodded and said, "Our army is weak now. Neither Chiang Kai-shek nor the Japanese would want to see an arsenal appear in our army."

"If I become too famous, I will definitely become a thorn in some people's side."

"Well, it's good that you think so."

After hearing what Zhao Tianyang said, the brigade commander became more and more satisfied with this smart and capable young man.

"Don't worry, whether it's the blueprints you handed over to Yan'an or the weapons you invented these days, your contributions will be recorded!"

"Thank you, Commander. I will work hard to invent more and better weapons and strive to drive away the Japanese as soon as possible!"

Zhao Tianyang assured excitedly.

"Good, very energetic."

The brigade commander thought for a moment and asked, "You probably haven't joined the party yet, right? Do you want me to be your party introducer?"

"May I?"

Zhao Tianyang stood up in surprise. Damn, this is General Chen! Let me introduce him to the party!

"Don't get excited, sit down and talk, sit down and talk!"

The brigade commander waved his hand, asked Zhao Tianyang to sit down, and said kindly: "As for you, write an application to join the party when you go back, and leave the rest to me."

"Yes."

Zhao Tianyang stood up and saluted.

"Okay, you guys must be tired from the journey, go and rest first, we can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything else."

The brigade commander stood up and said, "Remember, don't forget to write your application!"

"Don't worry, Commander. I won't forget anything!"

The next morning, after Zhao Tianyang handed the application for joining the party that he had written overnight to the brigade commander, he went to drink two bowls of corn paste.

After dinner, Zhao Tianyang and Liu Lao came to the brigade commander’s office.

"You are here."

The brigade commander looked up and greeted the two men: "Sit down for a moment while I finish reading this telegram."

"it is good."

After a while, the brigade commander put down the telegram, rubbed his eyes, looked at the two men and said with a smile: "Sorry, I kept you waiting."

"We didn't wait long!"

Mr. Liu said with a smile.

"Then let's get down to business!"

The brigade commander paused for a moment and then slowly said, "You are going to Changzhi this time, the journey is long, and you are carrying so much supplies and so many workers."

"The target is too big and it's easy to get into danger. We have come up with a solution. Would you consider it?"

Zhao Tianyang: "Please speak, Brigade Commander."

"That's right. We have discussed that in a few months, the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, the Jin-Ji-Yu Military Region, and the Ji-Nan Military Region will be established one after another."

"The military will definitely be expanded on a large scale by then, and military expansion requires weapons and equipment. We are thinking of distributing the materials in your arsenal and the workers from level one to level seven to the three major military regions."

"And the three major military regions will compensate the arsenal with some dollars accordingly. This way, you only need to bring a few machines and some dollars, and you will be much safer along the way."

Zhao Tianyang glanced at Old Liu, who raised his eyebrows and said, "You are the director of the arsenal, why are you looking at me?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tianyang touched his head awkwardly: "In fact, our arsenal has always been considering allowing each army to have a certain degree of weapon self-production capabilities. Since the troops now have this need, how can I not agree!"

"Hahaha, okay."

The brigade commander stood up with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss. Go and do some ideological work with the employees of the arsenal, and I will help you talk to those military ruffians about the rest."

"Thank you, Commander."

Zhao Tianyang said gratefully.
