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

Next, Zhang Dabiao read out another letter of appointment, which was about appointing Wang Xikui as the deputy commander of the 386th Brigade's spearhead regiment. Except for the name, the format was exactly the same as the previous one.

"Zheng Kaixuan and Wang Xikui thank the division headquarters for their trust and will definitely live up to the organization's trust."

Zheng Kaixuan and Wang Xikui saluted respectfully, and Zhang Dabiao returned the salute on behalf of the division headquarters. Then, they both extended their hands and accepted their respective letters of appointment.

"Here is also the letter from the brigade commander."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Dabiao read again the letter that the brigade commander wrote to Zheng Kaixuan.

"Headquarters of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. In view of the outstanding performance and numerous military exploits of the th Battalion of the New st Regiment under the command of Battalion Commander Zheng Kai, in compliance with the instructions of the Division Headquarters, the th Battalion is now reorganized into the th Brigade's Spearhead Regiment."

"As things stand, guerrilla warfare has become a major issue in North China, particularly in Shanxi. Divisional and brigade headquarters have decided to grant the spearhead regiment the authority to conduct independent guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines."

"The spearhead regiment, deep behind enemy lines, must strive to be self-sufficient, mobilize the masses, gain the support of the people, and grow stronger."

"We must abolish the exorbitant taxes and levies in our localities, crack down on and eliminate traitors, help and inspire the masses. Only by gaining their support and participation can we continue to develop until complete victory!"

"The Sharp Knife Company must not only strike down landlords, powerful people, puppet troops, and traitors, but must also take the initiative to attack, winning more small battles and victories to annihilate the Japanese. We must let the Japanese see the determination and faith of the great Chinese and the Eighth Route Army in the war of resistance!"

"The Sharp Knife Regiment, be a sharp knife that plunges into the enemy's heart!"

Zheng Kaixuan's blood boiled when he heard the letter from the brigade headquarters.

"Brother Da Biao, thank the brigade commander for me when you get back."

To say he wasn't excited would be a lie. Being a group leader was something he had dreamed of, and today his dream came true. And he was an independent group leader.

This means that from now on, as long as he does not go against the organization in the general direction, he can independently decide the development direction and combat plan of the entire spearhead group.

Autonomy was gained.

The brigade also stressed the need for the spearhead regiment to be self-sufficient.

This means that Zheng Kaixuan has the priority to use the equipment seized by the regiment in his own regiment, and does not need to report or hand it over every time.

Strictly speaking, the Sharp Knife Regiment is not a regular organization, and this number is not a serious number.

The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was recognized as a regular regimental-level organization, and there were only two regiments with regular numbers.

386st Regiment of the 771th Brigade, 386nd Regiment of the 772th Brigade.

The Sharp Knife Regiment, Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment, and Kong Jie's Independent Regiment are basically of the same nature and are external forces.

But Zheng Kaixuan was still very moved. Although it was an external unit, the word "sharp knife" was the greatest recognition for him and the Fourth Battalion.

Even the division and brigade headquarters believed that they were a sharp blade flashing with cold light, a knife that could penetrate the heart of the devil!

What an honor! It's truly an unparalleled honor!

"The division commander even joked that he wanted to transfer you to the logistics department to work on military industry. Now it seems fortunate that he didn't do that, otherwise he would have buried such a talented warrior."

Zhang Dabiao continued with a smile.

Zheng Kaixuan felt warm in his heart. He could even imagine the expression on the commander's face when he said this.

"Our brigade commander also asked me to bring you a message."

"What?"

Zhang Dabiao suppressed his laughter and spoke in a low voice.

"The brigade commander said, when you meet Zheng Kaixuan, tell him for me that I congratulate him on his fortune..."

"Buzz!"

When Zheng Kaixuan heard what Zhang Dabiao said, his head suddenly buzzed and he felt unwell.

As a modern person who traveled through time, he knew very well the value of the brigade commander's words.

Even if the God of Wealth passed by the Brigade Commander and said "Congratulations on your prosperity", the God of Wealth would tremble...

The brigade commander's phone call was the earliest example of 'telephone fraud'...

No matter how hard Zheng Kaixuan racked his brains, he could never have imagined that he, who didn't even have a phone, could actually receive the brigade commander's 'blessing'...

When the brigade commander wished Li Yunlong well, Li Yunlong could at least cry about his poverty on the phone, saying that he was so poor that he was almost begging for food, and asked the brigade commander to show some mercy...

It’s a pity that I can’t even see the brigade commander. Where can I seek justice? Who can I go to and cry poor to?

The brigade commander had no intention of giving him a chance to refute!

Looking for Zhang Dabiao? It's useless.

Zhang Dabiao had just witnessed with his own eyes the soldiers of his spearhead regiment returning with cart after cart loaded with weapons, equipment and supplies.

Zheng Kaixuan was a little amused and helpless, with a slight bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The brigade commander had already guessed you'd have that expression. He said he wouldn't say much else. Just think about it. Just think about how much equipment the words 'independence, self-reliance, and self-sufficiency' he helped you achieve are worth. Think about it yourself."

"Okay, I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you."

Zheng Kaixuan didn't hesitate too much.

Indeed, the four words "independence" are worth a thousand gold, even priceless.

He now has more equipment than he can use up, so there is no problem in giving some to the brigade commander.

In the future, the spearhead company will develop independently and stay away from the brigade headquarters. It will be difficult to even meet the brigade commander at that time.

"Brother Kaixuan, there is one more thing..."

Zhang Dabiao took Zheng Kaixuan's hand and pulled him aside. He looked back and saw that Kong Jie and Xing Zhiguo did not follow them. Only then did he feel relieved.

"Our regimental commander also congratulated you on becoming the commander of the Sharp Knife Regiment. He asked me to tell you that when you drink water, you should always remember the well-digger. When you first joined the Third Battalion of the 772nd Regiment, he even taught you how to shoot a gun."

"Also, when the New 1st Regiment was just formed, he defied all odds and made you the commander of the Fourth Battalion. Now that you've gotten rich, you have all the guns and cannons you need, but you can't just turn your back on us and forget about the regimental commander and the old brothers in our New Regiment..."

"Of course, the 'damn' was said by the captain, not me..."

The regiment commander Zhang Dabiao was referring to was naturally Li Yunlong.

Zheng Kaixuan finally understood why Zhang Dabiao pulled him out and said these words behind others' backs.

It seems that Lao Li also wanted to congratulate him on his wealth, but Lao Li didn't dare let others know that Lao Li had congratulated him on his wealth. Because once Kong Erlangzi knew that Li Yunlong had congratulated him on his wealth, Kong Jie would tell the brigade commander that Lao Li had congratulated Zheng Kaixuan on his wealth, and the brigade commander would definitely go and congratulate Li Yunlong on his wealth, and then Lao Li would not be able to get rich...

Zheng Kaixuan waved his hand, signaling Zhang Dabiao not to continue.

"I understand what you mean, Captain. Just tell me directly, what do you want?"

"Hey! Brother Triumph, it's great."

Zhang Dabiao gave Zheng Kaixuan a thumbs up.

"The regimental commander said that your modified mortar is making me want it so badly. You have to get two of them at least."

"I heard you have those grenade launchers, which are very useful for dealing with Japanese thieves. Get a few for our regiment, and some fully automatic and semi-automatic rifles as well."

"The commander also said that you have more war horses, so he asked for a cavalry battalion. Is that not too much to ask for?"
