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

As for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, they have made great efforts after all, so they deserve the money.

Chu Yunfei did not expect that Li Yunlong's vision was so grand, but it was also good this way, after everyone spoke out, there was no need to be suspicious of each other, and his soldiers would not say much either.

"Since Brother Yunlong is so generous, I will also express my opinion. These foreign currencies will all be converted into dollars according to the latest international prices. Our Jinsui Army has relevant channels, so it will be more convenient for everyone."

"Brother Qin, Brother Long, after you figure out the total, you two regiments will divide the gold bars equally. If it's not enough, you can divide the dollars. The rest can be given to our Shanxi Suiyuan Army."

Captain Long was overjoyed after hearing this. The two of them were extremely impressed by Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei's heroic deeds. They stood up and saluted to express their gratitude.

Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei also returned a military salute, which could be regarded as the friendship that allowed the four regiments to fight side by side against the Japanese.

Next, Chief of Staff Fang read out the commendation order from the headquarters of the Second War Zone. However, these commendations were basically given to their respective troops. However, after this battle, the reputation of the four regiment commanders would definitely be feared throughout Shanxi.

There is also the latest order, which basically tells the four regiments to act according to circumstances. If the Japanese army approaches, everyone can retreat with the spoils. There are no specific requirements.

From this perspective, our Commander Yan is still a relatively competent theater commander. At least he will not give orders blindly without knowing the situation clearly, or put four regiments in danger for the sake of face. He is much better than a certain micro-manipulation master.

In the end, everyone decided to make preparations for both scenarios. If the Japanese did not make any moves, they would stay in You County for two more days; but if the Japanese came with great force, they would have to burn the supplies and then run away.

In fact, Li Yunlong also knew that this was everyone repaying his favor. Otherwise, all combat objectives had been achieved at present, and there was no need to keep the troops here to take risks. He also remembered this favor.

Next, in order to reward everyone for their efforts, all the soldiers from the three regiments in You County were awarded one year's military pay as a reward for their efforts, which again caused cheers from everyone.

Winning a great victory was already a happy thing, and now I have received a year's military pay. It is really a double happiness. I have never encountered such a wonderful thing in my entire life.

The most important thing is that the rewards this time are distributed in the form of ocean dollars, which are absolutely hard currency and cannot be compared with the legal currency that depreciates every day.

The soldiers' morale reached its peak as they touched the oceans they had obtained. Now, even if the Japanese field troops dared to stand in front of them, everyone could rush forward and tear the enemy to pieces.

Now all troops have sufficient weapons and ammunition, and their weapons and equipment are equally matched. If a real fight breaks out, no one will be afraid of whom.

Of course, compared with the gains of each regiment, the reward of one year's military salary is nothing.

After the meeting, the transport team of the 385th Brigade also arrived. Zhao Gang immediately sent people to load the two production lines in the warehouse and transport them back to the base as quickly as possible. This was the only way to be safe.

At the same time, in order to protect these valuable production lines, after the soldiers of the Second Regiment had replenished their ammunition and various supplies, they were sent over to serve as escort troops.

It is no wonder that Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang attached so much importance to it. After they had a preliminary understanding of what these two production lines were, they realized that this was the biggest gain of this Youxian campaign.

If he was really unable to spare the time, he would have wanted to lead the independent regiment to escort them personally, as this would have been the safest way.

However, Chu Yunfei was willing to give face to Li Yunlong because of the strength of the independent regiment and the fact that the two sides had fought side by side. If the leader of another main regiment came, he might not be able to control the situation.

Of course, if it was the commander of the 386th Brigade who came, no matter how arrogant Chu Yunfei was, he would have to salute the commander and regard himself as his junior.

The brigade commander's reputation was so great in the Whampoa Military Academy that he was like a leader. The title of "Three Heroes of Whampoa" at that time was enough to scare many people to death.

As for Captain Bai, after leading his troops to Youxian County, each soldier was replenished with 200 rounds of ammunition, 20 compressed biscuits and two cans of beef. Then the logistics company of the regiment headquarters was also filled with various supplies and followed the troops.

After all this was done, they escorted a large transport convoy slowly towards the base.

Fortunately, all transportation routes have been opened up and are relatively safe along the way. Even if there are small groups of bandits, they will not be so impatient as to run down the mountain to rob a convoy escorted by a regiment.

Moreover, as early as during the day, the Eighth Route Army had sent people to warn all the mountain strongholds along this line. A large number of transport convoys of the Eighth Route Army passed by in the past few days. If anyone is not careful, don't blame them for being rude.

The reputation of the Eighth Route Army was built on the corpses of the Japanese devils and puppet soldiers. Anyone who dared to go against them would be seeking death. Especially when the bandit leaders heard that the Eighth Route Army had captured Youxian County and killed thousands of Japanese devils, they became even more afraid to cause trouble.

There was once a time when a group of reckless bandits robbed a transport team of the Eighth Route Army. More than a dozen soldiers escorting the supplies were killed and the supplies were also stolen.

Commander Chen of the Taiyue Military Region was furious when he received the news and sent a main force regiment to the mountainous area to suppress the bandits, determined to eliminate these cancerous creatures cleanly and efficiently.

By the way, the person in charge of this incident was Li Yunlong and his New 1st Regiment, and it happened before the battle of Cangyunling.

Li Yunlong's approach was very simple, but very effective. He used the scene of the incident as the center and the battalion as the combat unit to sweep through more than a dozen bandit nests of varying sizes.

Unless you have fought the Japanese and can produce evidence, we will definitely strike back without mercy and destroy the roots of all the bandits.

Bandits are generally good at mountain warfare, but the Eighth Route Army is also good at it, especially Li Yunlong and his New 1st Regiment, who are the best among them.

It was also in that battle that the Eighth Route Army demonstrated its prestige and left a rule in the bandit circle: "It is better to mess with the King of Hell than with the Eighth Route Army."

Even in many areas of Shanxi, the bandit leaders have established a rule that if anyone provokes the Eighth Route Army, the others will attack him together without the Eighth Route Army having to take action.

This is also what Xie Baoqing of Heiyunzhai kept emphasizing: "He robbed the Central Army's supplies, and also robbed the Shanxi Suiyuan Army's supplies, but he never robbed the Eighth Route Army's supplies."

It's not that they don't want to, but that they dare not. This is the reputation that the Eighth Route Army has earned through victory after victory.

In this area, no one dared to challenge the might of the Eighth Route Army. After all, we were not ambiguous in beating the Japanese devils, let alone suppressing bandits.
