Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

As for the Independent Regiment, they had already obtained a lot of good stuff from intercepting the Noda Corps' supply convoy last time, so they no longer worried about these things.

Next, the big spoils were the weapons and ammunition of an enemy field regiment, including a number of mountain cannons and Type 92 infantry guns.

However, no one present had a good idea of how to distribute the weapons. After all, their four regiments belonged to different units and they would have to report the results of the battle to their respective superiors after the war, and the captured weapons were of utmost importance.

In the end, it was the wealthy Chu Yunfei who made the final decision and made a major decision:

"Captain Li, Captain Kong and Captain Qin, our Jinsui Army is in trouble. Thank you for your three regiments' great help, which led to this great victory in Hexian County."

"Regarding the distribution of the spoils, I have a suggestion. The weapons and equipment that are not damaged and can be used should be divided equally among your three regiments. Our 358th Regiment will take the damaged Japanese weapons and all the shoulder straps."

"Also, I have another request, and I hope everyone can agree to it."

Li Yunlong, Captain Long and Captain Qin were all overjoyed when they heard that the 358th Regiment would not participate in the distribution of spoils.

To be honest, the main battlefield of this battle was in Hexian County, and the main force of Noda's regiment was also annihilated by the 358th Regiment. According to the rules of the battlefield, it is reasonable to take half of the spoils.

However, whether it is the Eighth Route Army, the Sichuan Army or the Shaanxi Army, they all need this batch of weapons and equipment to enhance the strength of each unit and are reluctant to let go. The current handling of the matter is a win-win for everyone.

As for the Japanese's shoulder straps of various levels, although they are worth some money, they are not as important compared to weapons and ammunition.

Captain Long calculated in his mind that this time their regiment would be allocated a lot of weapons and ammunition. In addition, they had annihilated a battalion of Japanese devils before. All these weapons combined could completely re-arm an infantry brigade.

The Sichuan Army has been looked down upon since it left Sichuan, simply because of its poor equipment. Now that it has these heavy firepowers and can be handed over to the division headquarters or even the army headquarters, it will definitely improve the combat effectiveness of other troops.

Captain Long said excitedly, "Captain Chu, since you are so understanding, just tell me what you want. I will agree to ten requests, not just one."

"Well, in that case, I hope that this great victory will be reported to the theater headquarters in the name of my 358th Regiment. Of course, I will write down the achievements of your three regiments clearly and will never let any regiment suffer any loss."

After hearing this, the three group leaders present all showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, but they all sighed that after all, they are from Shanxi and they really know how to do business.

In fact, if Chu Yunfei reported a great victory like today's, he would gain the greatest benefits and receive the highest reward, after all, his boss is the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone.

If the Sichuan Army and the Shaanxi Army reported it, they would receive a lot of rewards, but they would probably be just verbal and would not deliver on their promises.

If an independent regiment reported it, the effect would be even worse, or even just a commendation telegram.

However, if the report was made by the 358th Regiment, Commander Yan's direct subordinates, then the rewards would be countless, and even the other three regiments would benefit from it.

Besides, it was indeed the 358th Regiment that contributed the most to this great victory. The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army wanted fame, and the other three regiments benefited, so why not?

After hearing this, Li Yunlong, Captain Long and Captain Qin looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Chu Yunfei was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately asked Chief of Staff Fang to draft a telegram to report the victory to the headquarters of the Second War Zone.

Chief of Staff Fang was also extremely delighted. This was a chance to show his face in front of the entire war zone, and he felt extremely honored.

Besides, this is a real battle record. Although they did not exaggerate in any way, it would cause malicious speculation from those who are not aware of the situation. However, their 358th Regiment does not care and is not afraid of anyone coming to investigate.

They have the shoulder straps and certification documents of all members of the Noda Regiment, as well as a large number of command swords, which cannot be faked.

However, Li Yunlong said, "Wait a minute, I have one more thing to say."

Chu Yunfei was in a good mood at this time, and said with a smile: "Brother Yunlong, please tell me if you have anything to say."

"Brother Yunfei, I suggest that we delay the telegram reporting victory. I have a bigger plan that will allow us to gain greater merit."

The strength of the independent regiment was obvious to everyone present, and even Chu Yunfei admired Li Yunlong's vision.

He had said before that with the strength of four regiments, they could completely wipe out the Noda Regiment, and now they had done it easily.

As for the next plan, everyone is full of interest. After all, being able to make military achievements again is what everyone wants to see.

Li Yunlong came to the wall of the conference room, pointed to a place on a military map hanging above, and said confidently:

"Youxian, I'm sure everyone here will be familiar with this."

Chief of Staff Fang at the side quickly took over the topic and gave a detailed introduction:

"You County is close to our Jinsui Army's territory. It is the most important material transfer base for the Japanese First Army. However, according to our intelligence, this place is nearly a hundred miles away from us. There are enemy artillery towers and strongholds everywhere along the way. It is very difficult for a large army to get close."

"Even if we reach You County, there is a garrison battalion and a regiment of puppet troops there, totaling more than 2,000 people. With the support of the tall city walls, we can't defeat them with such a small number of people. Instead, we will easily be surrounded by the enemy and eventually be wiped out."

As soon as he finished speaking, his words immediately resonated with the others present, and even Chu Yunfei nodded in agreement.

This kind of siege warfare is different from field battles. The latter can use the terrain advantage to ambush the enemy and reduce some casualties, but siege warfare is a real head-on confrontation, which is no joke.

Most of the Chinese army is good at defense but not good at attack. The main reason is that they lack heavy artillery capable of siege cities. It is indeed a bit difficult for everyone to use light weapons to attack a solid city.

It's not that I don't want to, it's just that my ability is limited and I simply can't do it.

Chu Yunfei said seriously: "Brother Yunlong, your idea is good, but reality does not allow us to do this."

"My 358th Regiment, Sichuan Army Corps and Shaanxi Army Corps have all experienced a long period of fighting. The soldiers are very tired and need to rest."

"Besides, the outcome of this battle has already exceeded everyone's imagination. We should quit while we are ahead."

Captain Qin at the side also took the opportunity to respond: "After the battles in the past few days, our 244th Regiment has suffered more than half casualties. I'm afraid we don't have the strength to fight anymore."

It’s not that he was afraid, but he didn’t want to make a fearless sacrifice. To be honest, attacking a fortified city was not something their current army could do.

The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has been going on for several years. Every day we lose cities, but rarely do we recover cities occupied by the enemy. This is the reality.
