After hearing this, Captain Bai and Political Commissar Pei immediately became interested, but when they saw the weapons and equipment all over the ground, their eyes had become spoiled.

If it were before, the two of them would have been so happy that they couldn't sleep for half the night just because the army seized a Type 99 light machine gun.

Now there are three heavy machine guns and ten light machine guns at once, which have already dazzled the two men and their expectations for surprise have been infinitely raised.

Of course, if there is a mortar in front of you, that's another story.

After the two young soldiers put their bags on the ground, the second captain picked up the contents with his hands and said loudly:

"Captain, Political Commissar, we just found a big box in a corner of the Japanese stronghold. It's full of dollars. There are so many dollars, more than I have ever seen in my life."

The bag in front of Political Commissar Pei was filled with dollars, and he was extremely excited.

To be honest, their troops have always lived a hard-pressed life. The Second Independent Regiment has seven or eight hundred people, but their funding has never exceeded one hundred dollars.

There was even a time when all the money of their entire group added up to only five dollars. Those were truly difficult times that are hard to look back on.

Political Commissar Pei and Captain Bai both held a handful of silver dollars in their hands, and the cold touch made them both feel refreshed.

Then, the two of them picked up the ocean and put it down like little children, and the scene was immediately filled with joy.

At this time, the second company commander took out a few yellow cube-like objects from his pocket.

"Captain, Political Commissar, there are a few things in the box, two large and five small. They are quite heavy, but I have never seen them before."

Political Commissar Pei took a closer look and immediately became even happier.

"Small yellow croaker, big yellow croaker, and there are so many. Oh my God, I'm going to get rich now."

After saying that, he quickly took the two gold bars and hit them against each other to identify their authenticity.

Then there was a wonderful sound coming from his ears. Although Political Commissar Pei seldom came into contact with it, he still had to have basic identification skills so as not to miss out on such a rare thing as gold in daily combat.

It is normal that the second company commander does not know them. After all, in his daily life, he only deals with dayang at most. Big yellow croaker and small yellow croaker are too advanced and ordinary people cannot get in touch with them at all.

"Political Commissar, what are these big yellow croaker and small yellow croaker you are talking about?"

"It's what we often call gold, but it's rarely seen on the market. Only rich people have it."

"A large yellow croaker is worth ten taels of gold, and a small yellow croaker is worth one tael. That makes a total of about twenty-five taels of gold, which is no small amount of money."

After hearing this, the second captain suddenly realized what was going on, and continued quietly:

"So this is a gold bar. Come to think of it, this is the first time I've seen one. It really broadens my horizons."

Captain Bai thought for a moment, and then issued a new order:

"Second Captain, have a squad of soldiers guard these oceans and gold. They should form groups of three and take turns to guard them. They are not allowed to leave their sight."

"Political Commissar, I'll leave the matters here to you. I'll go check out the front to see if there are any big surprises."

After saying this, he led the first battalion that had rushed over to another Japanese stronghold.

At the 385th Brigade Headquarters, Brigade Commander Wang is commanding the entire brigade to fight against the Japanese. The war is now in a stalemate and fighting is happening everywhere.

The brigade headquarters was also bustling with people. Many combat staff officers constantly marked the enemy and our own situation on the sand table based on the battle reports from the front line for the leaders to refer to when formulating tactics.

Chief of Staff Geng also summarized the intelligence and made a unified report.

"Brigade Commander, the Japs are coming with great force this time. Old Yan is in big trouble now."

"Two divisions have been defeated, and several counties have been lost. Fortunately, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is good at defense and has no shortage of weapons and ammunition. Our commander Yan has finally brought out all his resources to fight the devils this time."

"We have withstood the first few waves of attacks from the Japanese. In addition, the nearby Central Army, Shaanxi Army and Sichuan Army have also joined the battle, pinning down a large number of enemies. The battle has become a stalemate. Although everyone has suffered heavy losses, the Japanese are not feeling well either."

"Especially the news from the headquarters that Commander Chen of the 386th Brigade broke through a train station of the Japanese and seized at least one brigade's worth of weapons and equipment and tens of thousands of tons of various supplies. This has seriously affected the sustainability of the Japanese field division's attack."

After listening to all the information, Brigade Commander Wang asked with concern:

"Where are Li Yunlong's troops now?"

"Li Yunlong's group has a large number of people and they are carrying a lot of heavy equipment. It will take two days for them to reach us."

Brigade Commander Wang thought about it and continued to ask:

"Which part of the battlefield is the most tense right now? Li Yunlong is the best at fighting tough and dangerous battles, and he has never suffered a loss."

"Thinking back to those days..."

When Chief of Staff Geng heard the brigade commander talking about his great achievements in the past, he quickly interrupted:

"Commander, come on, stop repeating it. We all know about Li Yunlong's little troubles."

"When it comes to fighting, that guy is a good fighter. With the strength of a regiment, he defeated the Sakata regiment and became the commander of the Sakata regiment. Even if he is in a main regiment with an organization, few people can achieve such a record."

"Soon after, the Independent Regiment, with the cooperation of the New First Regiment, wiped out the Yamazaki Battalion at a very small cost, which opened everyone's eyes."

"You know, the Yamazaki Battalion is a reinforced battalion with more than 1,500 people. It is a strong force."

"Our brigade has also fought against such a reinforced brigade of the enemy before. To be honest, they are indeed very strong. It would be good if two unorganized regiments could hold out for a day. Li Yunlong is really a capable guy."

"But Li Yunlong is good at fighting, but he is also good at causing trouble. His great achievements could never be fully described even if we talk about them for a long time. If there is a conflict with friendly forces, it will be a big trouble for us."

After hearing this, Brigade Commander Wang also laughed and said proudly:

"Li Yunlong was my bodyguard for a period of time. I know him well. I can't blame him for some things. He just had no choice at the time."

"Besides, we are here to help. How could the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army have any objection? Aren't they really afraid of being driven out of their lair by the Japanese? Then they will have nowhere to stay."

"Brigade Commander, since you said so, it would be best to transfer the independent regiment to Hexian. The garrison there includes the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, one regiment each from the Shaanxi Army and the Sichuan Army. They have to resist the attack of an enemy field regiment. The situation is very critical."

"Based on the current situation, the enemy and us are now in a stalemate. Once the strategic key node Hexian is captured, the entire defense line of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army will fall into a passive state due to the chain reaction, and may even collapse."

"Obviously Commander Yan has also realized this, so he sent his ace unit, the 358th Regiment, to defend the area."

"The 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had troops, the best equipment, and even an artillery battalion. However, they were beaten by a regiment of the Japanese devils and could only defend themselves without any chance to fight back."

"In this situation, a normal infantry regiment wouldn't be of much use. Only a brave general like Li Yunlong can do the job."
