Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

As soon as the independent regiment left, Kong Jie led two battalions of the new second regiment to the Xiaowangzhuang position.

Revisiting old places.

Looking at the clean battlefield, Kong Jie felt a pang in his heart.

I thought, oh no, I’m too late!

He knew that it was not the independent battalion that cleaned up the battlefield, but he really couldn't imagine who else would get there before him.

"Go, help move the devil's body!"

"Yes!"

With the spoils of war from last time, Kong Jie's new Second Regiment developed rapidly. During this period, they recruited a lot of soldiers and the team expanded more than doubled.

Compared with the last time, the two battalions brought this time are both fully staffed with more than 700 people, all fully armed.

After two battles, Lin Qiang has decided to build Xiaowangzhuang into the first and strongest line of defense of the base.

He has ordered the deployment of four 105mm howitzers and four DShK anti-aircraft machine guns. The remaining mortars and infantry guns are all deployed at the Xiaowangzhuang position.

In addition, he also intended to build Heiyun Village into a semi-permanent defensive fortress, moving from ground fortifications to underground, and having effective air defense and counterattack means.

This plan will take a long time to complete, at least it cannot be implemented at the moment, so Lin Qiang put it aside temporarily. The most important thing right now is to build the defense line of Xiaowangzhuang first.

Upon learning that the new Second Regiment had arrived, Lin Qiang went to greet them immediately.

"Captain Kong, I didn't expect to see you again so soon!"

At this moment, Kong Jie was wondering who had gotten there first. When he heard Lin Qiang's voice, he came to his senses: "Brother Lin, I, Old Kong, have gotten the upper hand again this time!"

"Hahaha, no problem!"

Lin Qiang changed the subject and said, "But Captain Kong, you're a step too late. Someone has already taken advantage of you."

"who is it?"

It can be seen that Kong Jie really wants to know.

"Tell me, who is closest to me in Northwest Shanxi?"

After hearing this, Kong Jie understood that apart from the Japanese, Li Yunlong of the independent regiment was the closest to the independent battalion.

Under certain circumstances, Li Yunlong even understands the situation of the independent battalion better than the brigade commander.

"This Li Yunlong!"

Kong Jie's tone was full of helplessness: "This is the case of those who are close to the water get the moon first!"

the other side.

Li Yunlong, who returned with a full load, had a completely different look on his face.

The road back to the regimental headquarters is almost entirely the independent battalion's own defense zone. With only one reinforced company, Li Yunlong is not worried about any accidents.

Li Yunlong traveled leisurely all the way and found an empty seat on the donkey cart to sit down, holding Fenjiu in one hand and stuffing peanuts into his mouth with the other.

"Look at you, you're so greedy that you're drooling!"

Li Yunlong handed the wine in his hand to the soldier pulling the donkey cart behind him and warned: "You are only allowed to drink a small sip. If you drink too much, I will get angry with you!"

Everyone in the independent regiment knew that the regiment commander Li Yunlong was addicted to alcohol. The soldiers didn't dare to take the bottle in their hearts, but their bodies were very honest. Not only did they take the bottle, they also tilted their heads back and took a big gulp!

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Li Yunlong was so anxious that he almost jumped out of the car. He snatched the bottle of wine handed to him by the soldier, looked at the wine that was only two-thirds full, and cursed with heartache: "You bastard, didn't I tell you to drink a small sip? Why are you so stupid?"

Although he was cursing, he still handed a handful of peanuts to the soldier.

Drinking alone is not satisfying without some snacks to go with it.

The soldier took the peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth, looking at the regiment commander with a silly smile without saying a word.

By the time they arrived at the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong had not finished the wine in his hand and still had most of the peanuts.

"Xiao Li, come here."

Xiao Li was his bodyguard, and the original bodyguard became the platoon leader of the guard platoon.

Li Yunlong took out a few bottles of Fenjiu and handed the peanuts to the other party: "It's cold, take them to warm up the brothers."

"Thank you, leader!"

There aren't many people in the regimental headquarters, less than a battalion in total.

After the last training of the new recruits was completed, Li Yunlong did not let them stay idle in the regiment headquarters, but sent them all out to develop.

Now the Japanese's main attention is on the independent battalion, and Li Yunlong is not worried at all that the Yangcun incident will happen again.

"Old Zhao, Old Zhao!"

As soon as he got off the car, Li Yunlong shouted towards the regiment headquarters: "Old Zhao! Come and see what cool stuff I brought back!"

Political Commissar Zhao Gang, who was sorting materials, ran out of the house upon hearing this. When he saw several trucks full of supplies, he was so shocked that he was speechless for a while.

He originally thought that Li Yunlong would take at least three to five days to come back, but he didn't expect that he would bring back so many spoils in just one day.

Look what's there.

Mortars and grenade launchers, light and heavy machine guns, Type 38 rifles, and what was most incredible to him was that they actually brought back two Type 92 infantry guns!

"Be good!"

Zhao Gang forgot what he had learned at this moment and cursed: "Old Li, are you going to the county town to rob people?"

"Hahaha!"

Li Yunlong said proudly, "So? I, Old Li, keep my word, don't I?"

Zhao Gang was stunned for a long time. After coming to his senses, he shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry and move to the warehouse!"

Just when the two were happy, the communicator ran out in a hurry, his face very grim: "Report to the regiment commander, political commissar, the brigade commander called and asked the regiment commander to answer the phone in person."

Li Yunlong's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came over him: "Did the brigade commander say anything?"

"No."

The operator shook his head and said, "He just said that you should answer the phone in person."

"Okay, I understand, I'll go right away."

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other, and the former had no choice but to answer the phone.

After spending a long time with Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang's personality has undergone subtle changes, which he himself did not even notice.

Looking at Li Yunlong's back, he muttered, "Don't let it be what I think, don't let it be!"

inside the house.

Li Yunlong took a deep breath, picked up the receiver and said, "Brigade Commander, this is Li Yunlong."

After waiting anxiously for a few seconds, Li Yunlong's heart finally settled down after hearing the brigade commander's words.

"Li Yunlong, congratulations on your fortune!"
