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

"Master Li, tell me the truth, how did you capture these equipments from the Japanese?"

"Sun Chenghai, it's not that I look down on you, but your Ninth Route Army has nothing, it's just a bunch of rabble."

"Don't you see what we have behind us? We have three main regiments in the Ninth Column base, with at least 8,000 troops. They are all heroes who can shoot accurately from a hundred paces."

"We were sent by the commander to Wuyi County to fight the Japanese invaders. It's like a married woman who is being bullied. Her family will definitely send someone to support her."

"Yesterday was just a trial run. Without hurting anyone, we killed more than 60 Japanese soldiers and rescued more than 300 fellow villagers who were captured by the enemy."

"Just wait. Within three days, the heroic deeds of our Eighth Route Army will be spread all over Wuyi County."

In fact, what Li Dabenshi said was not wrong. The members of the special forces were indeed capable of hitting the target accurately. In addition, many of the rescued civilians would spread the news widely after returning, which would definitely increase the reputation of the county brigade.

In the future, when ordinary people mention Li Dabenshi’s troops in the Eighth Route Army, they will definitely give them a thumbs up and praise them.

After hearing this, Sun Chenghai didn't say anything more. They had received support from their superiors, but they didn't, so they had to accept their defeat.

He saluted towards Li Dabenshi and the others, and said loudly:

"I am willing to accept the defeat. I am not the kind of person who cannot afford to lose. From now on, Wuyi County will respect the Eighth Route Army. If you need any help from now on, we, the Ninth Route Army, will not hesitate."

Seeing that Sun Chenghai had surrendered on his own initiative, Li Dabenshi knew that the man of Yanzhao could take it and let it go, so the matter was over. Originally, the dispute between the two families was just a dispute of pride, and both were heroes who fought against the Japanese, so there was no need to be so petty.

But he rolled his eyes and came up with a good idea.

"I say, Old Sun, if you really want to lead these men to fight the Japanese, without logistical support and specialized military training, how long can you, these dozens of men, hold out?"

These words really touched Sun Chenghai's heart. When it came to fighting alone and settling scores, he was quite good at it, but worrying about what to eat every day was indeed something he was not good at.

It's not just him, but also his subordinates. There is no one who can be trusted.

He asked hesitantly, "What is the charter, then?"

Seeing that the fish had been hooked, Li Dabenshi immediately struck the snake with a stick:

"Old Sun, fighting the Japanese is not a one-man show. We need everyone to work together."

"Especially when you raise a team, it's not something you can do on impulse. You have to provide good logistical support, intelligence support, and professional military training for your subordinates. Only in this way can you compete with the Japanese who are armed to the teeth."

"Besides, look at your Ninth Route Army, which stays in this dilapidated mountain temple all day long and has no idea what's going on outside. I think it won't be long before your brothers starve to death with you."

After hearing these words, Sun Chenghai could no longer sit still. In fact, what Li Dabenshi said was very reasonable. He was just a ranger who didn't understand these things at all, and there was no one around him who could make decisions.

"So what should we do from now on?"

"I think our two teams should unite to fight together. You lead your brothers to join our Wuyi County Brigade. I appoint you as the captain of the second squadron of the county brigade. You can also lead your brothers to fight the Japanese together."

"As long as you join our county brigade, we will give you guns, brand new Type 38 rifles and a Type 99 light machine gun. Abacus will be responsible for logistics and we will also send professional military personnel to train you in combat skills."

Hearing such good conditions, Sun Chenghai was very tempted, but he still had to maintain his composure, so he decided to wait a few days.

Just as he opened his mouth, two people suddenly rushed in from outside, a man and a woman. The man was wearing the uniform of the National Army, and the woman was dressed like an ordinary citizen.

The man who came was Chen Feng, who had had interactions with Li Dabenshi and others. He was a former captain and company commander of the Northwest Army and also a college student. Because the enemy invaded the country, he angrily gave up his pen and joined the National Army to fight the Japanese.

It's a pity that because he was not a direct descendant, he was ostracized everywhere and was frustrated. After his previous unit was defeated by the Japanese, he himself was seriously injured. Fortunately, he was rescued by Li Dabenshi and his men and his wounds were healed.

However, Chen Feng was a bit stubborn and insisted on returning to the National Army. When his injury healed a little, he chose to leave Wuyi County to look for the National Army.

As soon as he walked in, he smiled and said, "Hey, you guys are all here. I just happened to need something from you guys."

Ding Abacus and Magnet were furious when they saw Chen Feng. They had saved this ungrateful man with good intentions, but he just left without even saying hello and took away a Hanyang-made rifle and ten bullets from the county brigade.

If Li Da hadn't been able to calm everyone down, everyone would have wanted to settle the score with this guy.

Now seeing this old friend with whom he had a grudge, Magnet suddenly became furious and immediately said sarcastically:

"Who do you think you are? Aren't these the two thieves who stole our rifles? How dare you show up in front of us? Aren't you afraid that we will beat you up?"

Chen Feng had indeed acted unkindly in the beginning, and now that he was being mocked he couldn't say anything.

But Cui Jiuwo, the little Peking girl, was not happy. She put her hands on her hips and said angrily:

"Who stole it? It's so ugly. We didn't steal it. We just borrowed it."

"Let's not talk about these nonsense today. We have something that needs a man of blood to do. I wonder if anyone dares to go?"

The big dog was a little unhappy when he heard this. He touched his sparse beard and said proudly:

"All the men who can be considered as real men in the whole land of Yanzhao are standing here. Every one of them is a hero."

Chen Feng quickly gave a brief account of what he had discovered in Hengshui, and also emphasized that once the Japanese's new weapons were put on the battlefield, it would be a heavy blow to all the Chinese troops and civilians.

No one present had any experience with this kind of thing, especially Sun Chenghai. He could still get by in Wuyi County, but if he went to the neighboring county, where he was unfamiliar with the place and was completely in the dark, what would he do?

Li Dabenshi also looked embarrassed. He had a strong sense of the overall situation. The Japanese army would drop poison gas bombs on the battlefield and the Eighth Route Army would also encounter them. It would be best if they could be destroyed directly.

Moreover, the county brigade is now strong and powerful, unlike before when they only had a few broken guns. Even if they want to help, they don’t have the money.

However, they currently have important tasks to complete and must give priority to completing the tasks assigned by their superiors. Otherwise, they will not be able to explain to the commander and the political commissar, and he, the captain of the county brigade, may even be dismissed.
