Anti-Japanese War: Plunder the devils to create a super army

On the way back, they passed through many villages.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Lin also proposed to recruit some new soldiers from these villages.

Many of these villages supported the Eighth Route Army, and even had many members of their underground organizations.

These villages played an indispensable role in the Eighth Route Army's ability to hide so well. No matter how many times the Japanese army checked, they would never reveal the intelligence.

Li Yunlong naturally had no doubts about this, and even took the initiative to explain that a lot of food had been distributed.

The lives of ordinary people were not particularly good, especially in this era when there was not much technological optimization of food.

So Li Yunlong directly distributed some flour and canned food they had looted from the Japanese to the villagers.

This made the villagers feel the goodwill of the Eighth Route Army, and many young people hoped to join the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese.

The independent regiment also gained a group of new recruits as a result.

However, the troops are still not enough to build a new battalion, and we need to continue expanding the army and recruit more soldiers from other villages.

The troops quickly returned to Yangcun.

Seeing the troops of the first battalion returning, the troops of the second battalion quickly came out to greet them.

When he saw the first battalion of troops carrying a large amount of supplies and equipment, his eyes widened.

"Oh my god, I thought they had harvested enough before, but I didn't expect there would be so much more."

"How many battles did the regimental commander lead the battalion in to harvest so many supplies?"

"That soldier has three guns hanging from his body. Damn it! I want a new gun too!"

The soldiers of the second battalion were envious and jealous when they saw the troops of the first battalion returning with a full load.

Of course, all the jealousy was just because they wanted to join the battle too.

The most regrettable thing is that this time the regiment commander led the first battalion out and did not bring their second battalion.

This also made the troops of the Second Battalion train more actively. They also wanted to demonstrate their combat effectiveness and let the regiment commander know that they also had the ability to fight the Japanese.

After arranging the supplies, a big meal is prepared tonight.

Whenever the independent regiment won a battle, they would have extra meals and reward themselves well.

......

News of the devil's many strongholds soon reached the Eighth Route Army headquarters and other troops.

Upon hearing the news, the Eighth Route Army commander was stunned.

"Four of the Japanese strongholds were taken down by the Eighth Route Army. How come I didn't know about this?"

It would definitely be a difficult task for local forces to eliminate the Japanese strongholds.

Ordinary local troops do not have this ability. If the Eighth Route Army really took such an action, news would definitely be passed on.

The chief of staff came over and spoke.

"According to our investigation, the stronghold that was taken out fell under the jurisdiction of the 386th Brigade. I believe we should question Brigade Commander Chen."

In order to find out what had happened, the boss called Brigade Commander Chen over.

Brigade Commander Chen was also confused. Although he had received the news, he knew nothing.

This is really strange.

The boss didn't know whether to be happy or angry for a moment.

"It was our own Eighth Route Army troops who wiped them out. The Japanese refused, and our Eighth Route Army headquarters didn't even know about it. This means they acted on their own."

As soon as the words "act on your own" were spoken, the boss suddenly thought of something and looked at Brigade Commander Chen next to him.

Brigade Commander Chen also reacted at this moment and spoke immediately.

"I'll go check on Li Yunlong right away to see what they're up to."

Li Yunlong was the most disobedient person in the entire Eighth Route Army, but he was also the one who dared most to fight the Japanese devils.

There is no doubt that if we talk about acting on our own, it must be Li Yunlong who is the only one who can do it.

Brigade Commander Chen nodded and knocked on the table.

"Li Yunlong is a fool. I'm afraid he's the only one who has the guts to do something like this."

However, at this moment, a communicator suddenly walked in from outside.

"Report to the commander, the political commissar of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment has just sent a report. Please review it personally."

The boss and Brigade Commander Chen looked at each other and quickly took the report to read it.

After reading the report, both of them looked extremely strange.

The report clearly describes the general situation of the independent regiment's actions.

Neither the boss nor Brigade Commander Chen had expected that it was actually the independent regiment that destroyed the four Japanese strongholds, and the losses caused to themselves were very small.

You have to know that those were four Japanese strongholds, and there were probably thousands of Japanese soldiers in total.

All of them were pulled down by the independent regiment.

The division commander next to him had also read the report and suddenly said something strange.

"Li Yunlong is still as bold as before, acting on his own again."

"Although the gains from this operation were enormous, with such a small price to pay, we eliminated such a large force of the Japanese, allowing the independent regiment to regain its vitality."

"But it's really hard to judge if they acted without applying or reporting to us."

Hearing this, Brigade Commander Chen touched his head awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

"Actually, I agree with this."

"The independent regiment's development was too slow, so I gave them the right to act on their own and let them get their own weapons and equipment."

"But I really didn't expect that this independent regiment could actually wipe out four of the Japanese strongholds."

The boss also understood at this moment, and immediately laughed and said to the division commander, Brigade Commander Chen beside him.

"Before, we said the independent regiment was just a dough, but now that Li Yunlong has been there, huge changes have taken place so quickly."

"It seems the Independent Regiment is truly not made of dough. Li Yunlong is indeed quite capable. He managed to train the Independent Regiment so quickly."

The commander nodded and said.

"Before, we sent Li Yunlong to the New 1st Regiment. At that time, the New 1st Regiment was in the same situation as the Independent Regiment. We were short of ammunition and supplies, and we were broke. We even had to use two or three people to share one gun."

"As a result, within a year, this stubborn Li Yunlong managed to transform the New 771st Regiment into a leading regiment, whose combat effectiveness was no less than that of the 772st and nd Regiments."

"I have to say, this Li Yunlong is truly a talent."

The boss nodded slightly, but no one else said anything else.

After all, although this matter has been approved by Captain Chen, for other troops, the independent regiment must have acted on its own.

The boss will definitely not pursue the matter further, but if the independent regiment wants to be commended, it will definitely lose this opportunity.

But in the final analysis, the boss must be happy in his heart.

As for Brigade Commander Chen, after learning the whole story, he quickly left the headquarters and seemed a little hurried.
