A magazine of 30,000 rounds, you call it Hanyang

When Zhang Dabiao and his group arrived at Heiyunkou, the battle between the 4th Battalion and the Sakata Regiment had ended for a long time, and Heiyunkou had long since returned to peace.

Looking at the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion and the Independent Regiment coming in and out near Heiyunkou, Zhang Dabiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"My brothers are all fine. It seems that the Sakata team hasn't arrived yet. I arrived just in time."

Zhang Dabiao jumped off his horse and handed the reins to the soldier beside him. Then he ran quickly to Zheng Kaixuan with big strides.

"Brother Kaixuan, good news. Black Cloud Pass no longer needs to be defended. You and the Independent Regiment can withdraw from here now."

Zheng Kaixuan smiled slightly and did not answer Zhang Dabiao's words. Instead, he introduced him to Kong Jie and others beside him.

"Da Biao, this is the independent regiment's commander, Kong Jie, and this is deputy commander Xing Zhiguo."

Zhang Dabiao immediately looked at the two of them seriously.

"Zhang Dabiao, commander of the first battalion of the new first regiment, has met with Commander Kong and Deputy Commander Xing."

Xing Zhiguo quickly shook Zhang Dabiao's hand.

"Captain Zhang, nice to meet you."

Kong Jie laughed carelessly.

"I've heard for a long time that Lao Li has recruited a powerful general. Today I finally have the chance to meet him. Zhang Dabiao, right? I heard you used to be in the Northwest Army?"

Zhang Dabiao immediately straightened his chest.

"Reporting to Captain Kong, it's the former Northwest Army's 29th Army's Big Knife Team!"

Kong Jie gave Zhang Dabiao a thumbs up.

"He's a real man! He's got a lot of energy! I have to say Old Li is lucky."

Kong Jie took a puff of his pipe, sighed for a moment, and then began to answer what Zhang Dabiao had said when he just came over.

"There's really no need to defend Heiyunkou anymore, because the Sakata Regiment has been driven away by our Independent Regiment and Lao Zheng's Fourth Battalion."

"What! How is this possible?"

Hearing Kong Jie's words, Zhang Dabiao widened his eyes in surprise, somewhat unable to believe what he had just heard.

That was the famous Sakata Regiment, known as the elite among the Japanese! An entire regiment of Japanese soldiers was actually driven away by Zheng Kaixuan and Kong Jie?

is it possible?

When did the Independent Regiment and the Fourth Battalion become so powerful?

"Reporting to the battalion commander, the Eighth Company has captured 86 Japanese light machine guns and 28 heavy machine guns."

At this moment, the eighth company commander Hu Zhenguo came to Zheng Kaixuan with more than 30 soldiers, carrying more than a dozen large boxes.

Zheng Kaixuan nodded with satisfaction and signaled the captain of the tenth company beside him to take out a small notebook to make the registration.

"Reporting to the battalion commander, our third company has captured twelve Japanese Type 92 infantry guns and twelve mortars from the battlefield."

"Report to the battalion commander, our company has captured 8 mountain guns and 6 anti-tank guns."

"Reporting to the battalion commander, my company has seized 72 grenade launchers."

"Report to the battalion commander, a total of 150,000 rounds of ammunition have been seized..."

"Reporting to the battalion commander, our transport company has seized 300 horses, 33 trucks, and countless supplies..."

However, the facts were right in front of him, and Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but believe it.

Company commanders of the Fourth Battalion and groups of soldiers from the Fourth Battalion lined up to report to Zheng Kaixuan.

Zhang Dabiao raised his head and looked outside, unable to look away.

Grenade launchers, mortars, infantry guns, mountain guns, anti-tank guns, light and heavy machine guns, ammunition and supplies were piled up in the open space outside Heiyunkou for hundreds of meters, stretching as far as the eye could see. Moreover, soldiers in the distance were constantly transporting supplies here.

"hiss!"

Zhang Dabiao took a breath. It seemed that Kong Jie and Zheng Kaixuan did not lie. They actually won the battle.

However, Zhang Dabiao also discovered a problem.

In front of Zheng Kaixuan, Kong Jie did not act like a regiment leader.

Moreover, the soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield were mainly from the Fourth Battalion, supplemented by the Independent Regiment.

When reporting, it was basically the company commanders of the Fourth Battalion who made the report to Zheng Kaixuan.

Zheng Kaixuan seems to be the main focus here.

Zheng Kaixuan was just a battalion commander, but Kong Jie and Xing Zhiguo actually listened to him. This only meant that the battle was mainly led by the Fourth Battalion, and was won under the command of Zheng Kaixuan.

"Brother Kaixuan, congratulations! Congratulations!"

Zhang Dabiao was sincerely happy for Zheng Kaixuan.

Then, he quickly explained his purpose to several people.

The division headquarters, brigade headquarters, including the New 1st Regiment, have left Xiyang and are heading towards the Taihang Mountains.

The division and brigade headquarters planned to consult Kong Jie and Zheng Kaixuan on whether the 4th Battalion of the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment should stay or leave.

If you are willing to go, then follow Zhang Dabiao to find the division headquarters and report there.

"Lao Kong, let's discuss this."

Xing Zhiguo was afraid that Kong Jie would make a decision on impulse, so he pulled Kong Jie aside.

After a while, the two came back.

"Da Biao, Captain Kong and I have unanimously decided to follow the division headquarters and advance into the Taihang Mountains."

Zhang Dabiao turned his gaze to Zheng Kaixuan and Wang Xikui again.

Zheng Kaixuan had already convinced Wang Xikui at this time, and they had made a decision.

"Our Fourth Battalion intends to stay and continue fighting the Japanese in the eastern Shanxi region."

Zheng Kaixuan thought it through clearly. If he stayed here, he could have greater autonomy.

Moreover, most of the soldiers in the four battalions under his command are locals. If given a choice, the soldiers would definitely not want to leave their hometown.

"Old Zheng, you have to think carefully. This is not a joke."

Out of good intentions, Xing Zhiguo hurriedly dissuaded Zheng Kaixuan.

"Although the Japanese 136th and Sakata Regiments near Xiyang County have suffered heavy losses, the Japanese now have two divisions in eastern Shanxi, the 108th and 109th Divisions, totaling tens of thousands of troops, as well as the Japanese th Independent Brigade. They are bound to launch an even more frenzied sweep soon..."

Zheng Kaixuan waved his hand.

"Old Xing, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I have thought it through."

"Ugh!"

Xing Zhiguo sighed and stopped talking.

Strangely, Zhang Dabiao did not show any surprise at Zheng Kaixuan's choice, but instead laughed.

"Da Biao, what are you laughing at?"

Wang Xikui asked in confusion.

"Haha, congratulations to both of you on your promotions!"

???

Everyone looked at Zhang Dabiao in confusion.

"The division commander and brigade commander had long guessed that Kaixuan and the 4th Battalion would make this choice, so they prepared the letter of appointment in advance. Now I will read the document on behalf of the division headquarters."

Upon hearing that Zhang Dabiao had brought the letter of appointment from the division headquarters, Zheng Kaixuan and Wang Xikui immediately perked up and stood up respectfully.

"Commission Order No. xxx from the Headquarters of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

"Zheng Kaixuan is hereby appointed as the commander of the Sharp Knife Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division.

此令
