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

Appearing in front of Zheng Kaixuan was a soldier who was also wearing the blue-gray uniform of the Eighth Route Army.

His head was not much smaller than Li Yunlong's. He was holding a big pipe in his hand, his face was full of stubble, and he looked very weathered.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his slightly worn military uniform was stained with mud.

Zheng Kaixuan recognized him at a glance.

What a coincidence, isn’t this Kong Jielong, one of the iron triangles of northwest Shanxi!

He never thought that he would meet Kong Erlangzi here.

"Where's Li Yunlong? Where's Li Yunlong? Old Li!"

Kong Jie walked into the valley and saw unfamiliar faces all around him. He began to shout for Li Yunlong at the top of his lungs.

Chen Shengli turned around and looked at Kong Jie helplessly.

"Captain Kong, didn't I already tell you that our commander is away and that our battalion is on a combat mission this time? You just don't believe me."

Chen Shengli quickly introduced Zheng Kaixuan to Kong Jie.

"This is our Fourth Battalion Commander Zheng Kaixuan, whom I just mentioned to you."

Then he introduced Kong Jie to Zheng Kaixuan.

"This is the commander of the independent regiment, Kong Jie."

"According to Captain Kong, their independent regiment was also established not long ago." Chen Shengli said in a low voice.

Zheng Kaixuan only knew that Kong Jie was indeed the leader of the independent regiment when he was watching the drama before, but he never expected that the independent regiment was established so early.

"It turned out to be Captain Kong."

After all, Zheng Kaixuan was only a battalion commander now, so he took the initiative to salute Kong Jie.

Kong Jie also immediately straightened his back and raised his hand to return the greeting.

Then, the two big hands were clasped together.

"Li Yunlong is really not in the team?"

Kong Jie still seemed a little unconvinced.

"No, there's only one unit here, our Fourth Battalion. The commander went to Xiyang over a month ago to join the brigade headquarters. Captain Kong, where are you from?"

Zheng Kaixuan was also extremely depressed. How could Kong Jie suddenly appear from the ravine in the early morning when it was freezing and snowing?

"Hey! Don't mention it!"

Kong Jie took a puff of his pipe, his face showing a depressed look.

"I, Kong Jie, have finally gotten screwed this time! Yesterday, we encountered a squadron of Japanese soldiers near Dazhai. I led the entire regiment in a fierce battle with them for half the night, but while we were fighting, a large group of Japanese soldiers rushed over."

"I had no choice but to retreat into the mountains with my brothers. I had heard that Lao Li's New 1st Regiment was stationed near Weizhuang. This time, I planned to ask Lao Li to lead the brothers of the New 1st Regiment to deal with the Japanese in Dazhai and find a factory for the Independent Regiment."

Having said that, Kong Jie put down his pipe and seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Captain Zheng, I just heard Captain Chen say that your battalion has a combat mission. Could it be that?"

Kong Jie immediately thought of Dazhai.

After all, over the big mountain in front is the territory of Dazhai, and the nearest Japanese base is Dazhai Town.

Zheng Kaixuan did not hide it.

"Yes, our Fourth Battalion is preparing to go to Dazhai to fight the Japanese."

"what!"

Kong Jie stared at Zheng Kaixuan with his eyes wide open in surprise, somewhat unable to believe what he heard.

"Captain Zheng, I, Kong Jie, am not trying to boost others' morale and destroy our own people's prestige. Do you know how many Japanese soldiers there are in Dazhai?"

"know."

Zheng Kaixuan replied calmly.

"A battalion of Japanese infantry."

"Did you know that there's a puppet army battalion of over 500 people in Dazhai?"

Zheng Kaixuan's tone remained calm.

"I've heard there's a puppet army camp that was established not long ago. These idiots have committed many bad deeds, so we just wiped them out together and got rid of this harm to the people."

Kong Jie could hardly hold it in any longer.

"Knowing this, you still dare to go? You're bringing a battalion and planning to wipe out a Japanese infantry battalion of over a thousand plus a security regiment of over five hundred?"

"That's right."

Zheng Kaixuan nodded without hesitation.

"Captain Zheng, this is really a bit risky. I advise you to think long-term..."

Zheng Kaixuan did not continue to argue with him on this issue.

"Captain Kong, where are the brothers from the Independent Regiment?"

Kong Jie sighed.

"We're all at the front. Many are injured and have no medicine to treat them. It's freezing and snowy, and the soldiers are wearing thin clothes. They've been running in the mountains for half the night and haven't eaten. It's all because of my incompetence! I feel so sorry for my brothers!"

Seeing that Kong Jie was getting excited again, Zheng Kaixuan hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Captain Kong, you don't have to blame yourself. I've heard the captain talk about you a long time ago. You two have a close friendship, and we are all brothers in the same unit. Now that you've met me, everything will be fine."

Having said that, Zheng Kaixuan quickly gave orders.

"Chen Shengli, have the brothers bring a few more first aid kits and follow me to the front to check on the brothers of the independent regiment."

"Yang Wanli, tell the guys in the kitchen to add more food so our friendly soldiers can have a hot meal too."

"Yes! Battalion Commander!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Chen Shengli brought more than 20 people, took the first aid kit, and followed Zheng Kaixuan and Kong Jie forward.

"Your Fourth Battalion actually has a first aid kit? Great! Great! Lao Zheng, thank you on behalf of the brothers in the Independent Regiment. Kong Jie owes you a favor!"

After seeing the first aid kit, Kong Jie was so excited that tears almost came out, and he held Zheng Kaixuan's hand tightly.

Even the address was changed from Captain Zheng to Old Zheng, and the distance between the two of them was suddenly shortened a lot.

We continued walking forward, and after about three or four hundred meters along the valley bottom, we saw a large group of people in the distance, about five or six hundred people.

They held guns in their arms, huddled together back to back, their lips all black and blue from the cold, and they were shivering.

Seeing Kong Jie bringing people back, several people quickly stood up and walked over.

"Old Li, this is the commander of the 4th Battalion of the New 1st Regiment, Zheng Kaixuan."

Kong Jie said to the leader.

The man called Lao Li by Kong Jie immediately showed a very sincere smile on his face and shook Zheng Kaixuan's hand enthusiastically.

"Captain Zheng, I'm Li Wenying, the political commissar of the independent regiment. It's great to meet you."

The two exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and Zheng Kaixuan immediately asked Li Wenying to take people to treat the wounded.

After bandaging the wounded, Zheng Kaixuan invited Kong Jie and all the soldiers of the independent regiment to have dinner.

In fact, many soldiers' injuries were not serious. They just consumed a lot of physical energy, and were cold and hungry, which made them look a little listless.

After the two groups met, the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion quickly distributed the prepared meals and delivered them to the soldiers of the Independent Regiment.

"Old Zheng, are you sure you want to lead a battalion to attack a battalion of Japanese soldiers?"

Kong Jie had no appetite and gritted his teeth.

"Actually, I can't bear this from him either! If you really decide to go, count our independent regiment as one of yours!"

Zheng Kaixuan naturally understood what Kong Jie was worried about.

"Old Kong, are you worried that our Fourth Battalion can't defeat a Japanese battalion? Look what that is!"

Kong Jie raised his head and looked in the direction Zheng Kaixuan pointed, and was immediately surprised.

"Old Zheng, how did your Fourth Battalion get so much equipment? This damn thing almost rivals the firepower of an entire division!"
