Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Hearing that Li Yunlong had set his sights on his reconnaissance battalion, Zeng Jiwen immediately laughed. Only he had the courage to do this. Everyone knew that the reconnaissance battalion was the brigade commander's treasure.

"You really know how to ask for help when the time is right. I can only give you one team. The people in other teams all have tasks. I will give you one team on your side. It depends on you whether you can seize the opportunity." Zeng Jiwen thought for a while and said.

"Thank you, Brigade Commander. I promise to bring out the new regiment."

"Okay, enough nonsense, I'm hanging up."

"Yes, Brigade Commander." After saying that, Zeng Jiwen hung up the phone.

At this time, Deputy Political Commissar Liu Ming smiled and said after hearing the conversation between Zeng Jiwen and Li Yunlong,

"Brigade Commander, you are trying to get something for nothing."

Zeng Jiwen listened and responded, "Li Yunlong, I originally wanted to send people to operate in the area around Yangquan and Jingxing, but as you know, there are many Japanese troops nearby recently. The 20th Division is in Yangquan, and there is also a regiment of Japanese troops in Jingxing. I am afraid that the others cannot handle it."

"If the others were killed, it would be a pity for my regiment, so I asked the guard battalion to send a company to follow Li Yunlong."

"There are few people in front, so we don't have to worry about him causing any trouble. It will be their chance when the Japanese army starts attacking Changzhi next year," Zeng Jiwen explained.

"Then why don't you gather all the people for him? There should be at least five or six hundred people, right?" Cai Xu looked confused.

"Haha. If I give him so many people, I don't know how much trouble this kid will cause me recently. Now is the right time for the development of various troops. I can't let Li Yunlong cause trouble for me in the north, otherwise I will have to clean up his mess." Zeng Jiwen said unhappily.

After saying this, everyone in the brigade laughed.

Suddenly, Cai Xu heard something about the reconnaissance camp and asked.

"Brigade Commander, I've noticed that the soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion have been coming to you a lot lately. I've been asking about the train schedule on the Zhengtai Line and the Japanese troop positions. Some of them have gone to Yuci."

"Brigade Commander, what are you thinking?"

Liu Ming was also confused after listening to what the deputy chief of staff said. He just said that he was afraid that Li Yunlong would cause big trouble, but then the brigade commander began to investigate the situation of the Zhengtai Line train. This made people speechless.

"Haha, do you think I would do a business that would lose money?"

Zeng Jiwen stood in front of the map and said to the two people, "After the fall of Taiyuan last month, many of the equipment of the arsenal opened by the Shanxi man were not moved to the rear. What do you think the Japanese army would do if they took over this equipment?"

Zeng Jiwen didn't give them time to think before continuing, "The equipment in those military factories is the best outside of Fengtian. Even the Japanese covet it. I think the Japanese will leave behind some small production lines for light and heavy weapons and artillery, and probably move everything else to Fengtian."

"Once transportation begins, I'm afraid we'll have to take the Zhengtai route."

After hearing this, both of them looked puzzled. "But, Commander, the Japanese army can also take the Tongpu Railway. Why do they have to take the Zhengtai Line?"

"Haha, do you think I can let them take the Tongpu Railway?" Zeng Jiwen sneered.

"I'm planning to ask Commander Xu and his men to blow up the Tongpu Railway, and to do it in sections, so that it will be paralyzed until at least next summer. What do you think? Should they transport the goods via the Zhengtai Road or wait until it's repaired next year before escorting them?"

"And if we bomb them, they won't think we're targeting these devices. They'll just think we're delaying their attack. That way, Zhengtai Road will be bustling."

"But how can we transport so much equipment to our base? And once the Zhengtai Road becomes busy, the Japanese army will definitely increase the number of troops to guard it." Liu Xun looked confused.

"Hehe, from Yuci to Jingxing, the surrounding areas are all mountainous areas, and we have to pass through Shouyang. These mountains are dangerous and full of gullies, so it is no problem to hide some equipment." Zeng Jiwen explained.
