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

As soon as Gundam came out of the warehouse, Li Dakang ran over in a hurry, his face full of excitement.

"Captain, our Ping'an County Brigade made a fortune this time!"

“Did you know that we rescued more than 300 miners, and 271 of them were willing to join us!

They are all veterans who have experienced many battles. With their joining, the strength of our county brigade will be greatly enhanced."

After hearing this, Gaoda's eyes flashed with surprise and he nodded with satisfaction: "Captain Dakang, you did a good job. These veterans are precious assets. Their joining will inject new vitality into our county brigade.

You must do a good job of ideological work among them, so that they can truly identify with and accept the philosophy of our Eighth Route Army."

"Yes, Captain!"

“I will definitely do my best to integrate them into our county team.”

Then, Li Dakang approached Gaoda mysteriously again and said in a low voice: "Captain, among the new members this time, there is one person you will definitely be particularly interested in."

Gundam raised his head curiously: "Oh? Captain Dakang, tell me quickly, who makes you so happy?"

Li Dakang said excitedly: "Captain, this time among the miners, we found a senior technical talent from the Taiyuan Arsenal!

His name is Meng Debiao, and he is a weapons expert at the Taiyuan Arsenal!

Such high-tech talents are very rare in our Eighth Route Army.”

After hearing Li Dakang's report, Gaoda's joy burst out like a spring, and he could not believe his good luck.

Just as he successfully developed the machine tool equipment, he unexpectedly learned that he had found such a high-level military engineering talent. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He knew that experts like Meng Debiao were not something that could be easily found on the street. Looking across the country, talents of this level were extremely rare.

"Captain Dakang, take me to see this military expert Meng Debiao."

Li Dakang immediately led Gaoda through the bustling crowd and finally came in front of Meng Debiao.

Gaoda recognized the legendary expert at a glance. He stepped forward quickly and shook Meng Debiao's hand tightly.

"Hello, Expert Meng! I am Gao Da, the captain of the Ping'an County Brigade. It is a great honor to meet you and welcome you to join our Ping'an County Brigade.

Our Eighth Route Army is growing stronger and stronger, and we urgently need high-level talents like you to help us."

Meng Debiao looked at Gao Da and said, “Captain Gao, I am also very happy to join your county brigade.

Thank you for the heroic actions of your county brigade, which saved my life and allowed me to escape from the clutches of the Japanese devils.

I will do my best to contribute to the development of the county brigade."

In the following conversation, Gaoda said to Meng Debiao: "Expert Meng, I have an important plan. I plan to build an arsenal in our county brigade, and you are the best candidate for the director of this arsenal. I hope you can serve as the director of the arsenal."

When Meng Debiao heard Gaoda's proposal, a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes.

This is the battlefield he has not seen for a long time, and also the stage for him to display his professionalism.

He readily agreed to the proposal and responded with a smile: "Captain Gundam, this is indeed my specialty. I am very willing to serve as the director of this arsenal. As for charging into battle, that is indeed not my strong point. I may be better at working behind the scenes."

Gaoda was delighted to see Meng Debiao's agreement. He knew that with Meng Debiao's joining, their arsenal would have a qualitative leap.

He smiled and said, "Director Meng, it is an honor for our county brigade to have you join us. I believe that under your leadership, our arsenal will surely shine."

After agreeing to serve as the director of the arsenal, Meng Debiao asked Gao Da a practical question: "Captain, I want to know how many people and equipment we have in our arsenal now?"

After hearing this question, Gundam touched his head and smiled awkwardly:

"Director Meng, to be honest, you are the only one in our arsenal right now, and the arsenal has not been fully built yet, and we don't even have a factory building yet."

Meng Debiao was stunned when he heard this. He shook his head helplessly: "Alas, there is nothing. Doesn't it mean that I, the director of the arsenal, am left with nothing?"

Gao Da hurriedly explained: "Director Meng, you don't have to worry about the equipment. We have seized two complete sets of machine tools this time. These equipment will be the cornerstone of our arsenal."

When Meng Debiao heard this, his eyes lit up immediately and he stood up excitedly: "Oh? Really? Captain, where is the equipment? Take me to see it!"

Gaoda brought Meng Debiao to the entrance of the mine and pointed at the carriages loaded with machine tools and equipment.

"Director Meng, look, these are the machine tools we got, and they have been loaded onto the trucks."

As soon as Gundam finished speaking, Meng Debiao rushed to the front of the carriage as if attracted by a magnet.

He looked at the machine tools on the carriage, his eyes flashing with a fiery light, as if he saw rare treasures.

He gently stroked the devices as if caressing his lover's face, his face filled with satisfaction and excitement.

Meng Debiao turned around and said to Gundam excitedly:

"Captain, this is great! With these machine tools and equipment, our arsenal can start production immediately.

In the arsenal, these machine tools and equipment are our lifeline, and personnel can be trained slowly.

I believe that with these equipment, our arsenal will be able to develop rapidly!"

After hearing what Meng Debiao said, Gao Da said: “Director Meng, the future development of the arsenal depends entirely on you.

You have to train a large number of military talents for me so that our weapons and equipment will be more sophisticated. Please!"

Meng Debiao nodded and answered confidently: "No problem, Captain. With these machine tools and equipment, I promise to make good weapons and equipment for you. As a military expert, I am confident in my ability."

While Meng Debiao and Gaoda were having an in-depth conversation, the cleanup work on the battlefield had been quietly completed.

In this battle, they successfully eliminated nearly 60 Japanese devils, including 54 Japanese soldiers and 6 Japanese leaders who managed the mines.

The results of the battle were fruitful. Not only did we seize a large number of weapons, equipment and supplies, but the morale of the county brigade also reached an unprecedented level.

The soldiers of the county brigade were busy loading the seized items into the trucks one by one, with smiles of victory on their faces.

This time, they returned with a full load. Not only did they bring back a large amount of weapons and ammunition, but more importantly, they welcomed 271 new comrades.

Gundam looked at these newly joined warriors.

In his opinion, the addition of these new comrades is more valuable than any captured spoils.

Their arrival not only increased the number of people in the county brigade to over 500, but also made a qualitative leap in the combat effectiveness of the entire army.

Now, there are more than 270 veterans in the county brigade. Their rich experience has brought the combat effectiveness of the county brigade to a new level.

Both in terms of numbers and combat effectiveness, the county brigade has become an elite force in the local area.

The current county brigade has extremely strong combat effectiveness no matter where it is placed, and is not weaker than any main regiment.
