Bright Sword: The brigade commander is shocked! You call this a county brigade?

After all the Japanese devils in Pingshan Mine were wiped out, the soldiers of the county brigade began to clean up the battlefield.

Their faces were filled with smiles of victory.

During the attack on the Japanese Pingshan Mine, the soldiers of the county brigade performed exceptionally bravely.

Among them, the artillery squad's cannons played a huge role.

If the artillery squad had not destroyed the Japanese machine gun fire points in the first place, the county brigade would have paid a heavy price for its attempt to capture the Pingshan mine.

After the battle, Gundam knew that the victory of this battle was inseparable from the contribution of the artillery team.

Therefore, he decided to give top priority to artillery in the future development of the county brigade.

Cannons often play a decisive role in battle.

If the county brigade now has dozens or hundreds of cannons, then he will have the courage to attack Ping'an County directly. This is the confidence given by the cannons.

The battle had just ended and the smoke had not yet cleared when the Gundam quietly took action.

He avoided everyone's sight and quietly came to the Japanese mine warehouse.

That was where the Japanese stored their supplies.

Gundam wants to put the two sets of lathes, milling machines, boring machines, drilling machines and grinders rewarded by the system here.

These machine tools are the cornerstone of his future plans.

"With these machine tools, I can build my own arsenal for the county brigade." Gaoda was full of anticipation.

In modern industry, machine tools play an irreplaceable role. The manufacture of weapons and ammunition cannot be separated from the precise processing of these machine tools.

Gundam imagined the scene in the future when the county brigade had its own arsenal: machines roared in the arsenal, and brand-new weapons, cannons and ammunition flowed out from the production line continuously.

The soldiers of the county brigade will no longer have to worry about the shortage of ammunition. They will have inexhaustible weapons and ammunition.

When he thought of this scene, Gundam couldn't help but burst into laughter, and his laughter echoed in the empty warehouse.

The soldiers outside heard laughter coming from the warehouse, and out of curiosity they immediately ran in.

"Captain, what are you laughing at?"

Hearing the voice, Gundam turned around and saw that it was his team member: "Comrades, come and have a look, I found the treasure!"

The soldiers gathered around, and saw Gundam pointing to a row of machine tools nearby, and said excitedly:

“Don’t be fooled by the insignificant appearance of these devices, they are our hope for the future.

With these machine tools, we can build our own arsenal for our county brigade, and we won’t have to worry about weapons and ammunition anymore!"

The soldiers came closer and looked at the machine tools curiously.

"Captain, can these big black lumps of iron really be made into weapons and ammunition?" a young soldier asked doubtfully.

"Captain, is this the legendary chicken bed? I think they are just some big iron lumps. Are they really so magical that they can be used to make weapons?" said another soldier.

Gundam couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this.

He understood that these soldiers dealt with farmland every day and naturally knew little about such high-end equipment.

He shook his head and thought: Instead of expecting them to understand the intricacies of these devices, it would be better to tell them how to grow fuller rice.

He patted the soldier on the shoulder and patiently explained: "These things may be difficult for you to understand, but they are indeed good things.

You don't need to understand how they work, just that they can be used to make weapons for us.

Now, go and call some people over to help me carry these machine tools back to Lijiazhuang."

The soldier nodded, an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face, as if he understood something important.

He turned and left. Not long after, the soldiers brought dozens of people into the warehouse and started moving the machine tools.

Each machine tool was very heavy, and it took dozens of people, with the help of equipment, to laboriously move these machine tools onto the carriage.

…………

Inside the mine, the soldiers were busy collecting the spoils of war.

At this moment, from the depths of the mine, a group of miners walked up tiredly but full of expectation.

When their eyes swept over the Eighth Route Army soldiers in earth-gray clothes, they instantly became moist with tears of excitement because they knew they were finally saved.

The soldiers noticed the group of miners coming out of the mine. They immediately stopped their work, gathered the miners together, and brought them neatly to Deputy Captain Li Dakang.

Li Dakang looked at the more than 300 miners in front of him, all of whom had long-lost smiles on their faces.

He cleared his throat and said loudly to everyone: "Hello everyone, I am Li Dakang, deputy captain of the Ping'an County Brigade, and we are from the Eighth Route Army.

We have already wiped out all the Japanese in the Pingshan Mine. You will no longer have to suffer their oppression and torture!"

When Li Dakang's words were heard, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became boiling.

More than 300 prisoner-of-war miners burst into cheers.

"Great! We are saved! We don't have to be bullied by the Japanese anymore!"

"Yes! I am really excited now! Thank you to the Eighth Route Army! Thank you to Deputy Captain Li!"

Li Dakang was also infected by the warm atmosphere, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

This time they not only wiped out a small group of Japanese devils and achieved great results, but more importantly, this was the first time that the Ping'an County Brigade wiped out so many Japanese devils.

Immediately afterwards, Li Dakang extended a sincere invitation to all the prisoners of war.

He stood in front of the crowd and said: "Everyone, you may have belonged to the Northeast Army, or you may have come from the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, but we have all been oppressed and humiliated by the Japanese.

Now, the Ping'an County Brigade opens its doors to you, and welcomes you to join us in fighting against the Japanese invaders and defending our homeland!"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became excited.

The eyes of these more than 300 prisoners of war were shining with desire for freedom and hatred for the enemy.

Many of them expressed their willingness to join the Ping'an County Brigade and become one of its members without hesitation.

In the end, 271 prisoners of war chose to join the Ping'an County Brigade.

As for those who chose to leave, Li Dakang did not make things difficult for them. He knew that everyone had their own choices, so he let them leave on their own.

Afterwards, Li Dakang began to register the 271 people who were willing to join.

During the registration process, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there were many talented people among these people.

Some are artillerymen, some are experienced junior officers, and others also have their own specialties and skills.

Most of these 271 people are veterans who have fought on the battlefield for many years. They have extremely rich combat experience and will become a valuable asset to the Ping'an County Brigade.

Finally, when Li Dakang scanned the names in the registration book, his eyes suddenly stopped on a special name - Meng Debiao.

His eyes widened, almost unable to believe what he had discovered.

This person turned out to be an expert from the Taiyuan Arsenal. Such high-tech talents were rare in the Eighth Route Army, which made Li Dakang ecstatic.

Meng Debiao, there is an extraordinary story behind this name.

He is a young man of about 35 years old, a senior technical talent at the Taiyuan Arsenal, and an elite returnee who has studied in Germany.

He is proficient in various weapons manufacturing and military technology, and is a rare talent in the Taiyuan Arsenal.

However, when the Japanese attacked Taiyuan, he was forced to evacuate with the main force.

Unfortunately, he got separated from the main force in the chaos and eventually fell into the hands of the Japanese.

While being captured, he cleverly concealed his true identity. The Japanese treated him as an ordinary soldier and sent him to the Pingshan Mine to do heavy mining work.

Every day, Meng Debiao sweated profusely in the mine, and his mind and body suffered great torture.

He thought he would be trapped in this dark mine forever, never to see the sun and freedom again.

However, just when he was almost in despair, the Ping'an County Brigade descended like heavenly soldiers and wiped out the Japanese devils in the mine in one fell swoop.

When Meng Debiao was rescued, he knew that he was able to regain his freedom thanks to the rescue of the Ping'an County Brigade.

Therefore, when Li Dakang made an invitation, he joined the Ping'an County Brigade without hesitation.

One was to repay the life-saving grace; the other was that he wanted to take up arms and destroy all the Japanese devils.

He believed that the Ping'an County Brigade was a brave team. They dared to attack the Pingshan Mine with only such a small number of people, and he deeply admired their courage.
