Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Wang Zhuo looked at the two of them and immediately shook his head in amusement.

Cai Xu turned his head and looked at Wang Zhuo. "Is this how the commander and Old Chen usually act?"

After hearing this, Wang Zhuo thought of something and immediately burst out laughing.

"It's not like they're not fighting. One has a leg injury, the other has an arm injury. In Zeng Jiwen's words, they're just a bunch of weaklings fighting each other."

Hearing the chief of staff's words, Cai Xu and Ye Chenghuan couldn't help laughing.

But he immediately endured it, fearing that Zeng Jiwen and Chen Shukang would discover it.

Seeing that Zeng Jiwen and the other man were about to enter the house, several people immediately followed.

After entering the house, Zeng Jiwen poured water for the two of them, handed the cup to Chen Shukang, and then sat on a chair beside him and asked.

"Tell me, what's the use of that mountain cannon? It's so big that it's hard to move."

Chen Shukang was a little surprised to hear Zeng Jiwen's words.

"As expected of the master, he actually knows how to use it."

Zeng Jiwen glanced at it.

"That's nonsense. That thing is so bulky. I can't think of any other reason except that you want to cause trouble."

After hearing Zeng Jiwen's words, Chen Shukang took a sip of the water in the cup, and then spoke to Zeng Jiwen.

"I didn't expect you to actually guess it right."

"Yes, I plan to place him in the south of Jincheng."

After hearing what Lao Chen said, Zeng Jiwen instantly became energetic.

"South of Jincheng?"

"The national army in Zhongtiao Mountain wants to cause trouble!" Zeng Jiwen's expression changed immediately.

When Old Chen heard Zeng Jiwen's words, his expression suddenly became serious.

"It's possible, especially after you and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region recaptured Shijiazhuang, the Nationalist troops in the Zhongtiao Mountains became somewhat restless."

"Commander Wei is holding the line now, so the situation is not so bad, but I have to be on guard!"

Hearing what Lao Chen said, Zeng Jiwen nodded in agreement.

"I've said it before, the South can't be trusted, but you insist on believing them, saying you have to consider the overall situation. Just wait and see, the South will definitely have a conflict with us next year."

"If you really arrange it, you have to keep it secret." Zeng Jiwen thought of something and said.

Old Chen nodded.

Afterwards, everyone talked about Zeng Jiwen's plan to go back in a while.

After listening to this, Old Chen said to Zeng Jiwen with some concern.

"Hey, Lao Zeng, when you go back and meet people, please control your temper, otherwise, they will find trouble with you again."

Zeng Jiwen immediately became excited when he heard this.

"What do you want from me? Do you think I am them?"

Hearing this, Old Chen ignored Zeng Jiwen's expression and continued speaking.

"You want to negotiate with the North, but I'm afraid some people won't be willing."

Zeng Jiwen listened to it and rarely refuted it.

"So, you didn't hear what I said then. I plan to incorporate Jizhong into Tainan by the end of next year."

When Old Chen heard Zeng Jiwen's words, he was a little confused.

“You are really…”

"I guess they're a little regretful now about letting you join Jin."

Hearing Lao Chen's words, Zeng Jiwen sneered and said, "It's too late to regret. I've been saying this for a while now, and I'm almost hoarse. After all, it's because of me that they can't have the final say in the north."

When Old Chen heard Zeng Jiwen's words, he didn't say much, but just reminded him to be careful.

After talking about this, Zeng Jiwen asked about the situation of the 129th Division in the south.

After understanding the situation, Zeng Jiwen looked a little serious.

After all, it is not the original time and space, and the 129th Division is now in a difficult situation in central Henan.

Because a large number of southern troops have gathered in central Henan, the enemy, our own and stubborn forces are distributed in an intertwined manner.

After understanding the situation in the south, Zeng Jiwen said.

"After this battle, our relationship with the South has become more delicate. You better be careful not to be taken advantage of by the South."

"In an emergency, make a decisive move!"

After listening to Zeng Jiwen's words, Old Chen nodded.

"I understand. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you for those 18 cannons. If something really goes wrong, we can just retreat. If we want to enter Jin territory, they will have a tough time with us."

After saying these things, Zeng Jiwen took the two of them to the temporary warehouse built by the logistics department outside the city.

After opening the warehouse, Lao Chen felt a sense of emotion when he saw the boxes of Type 38 rifles, the stacked light and heavy machine guns, and the 75mm mountain cannons.

"I didn't expect that you would still think of us poor guys at the critical moment. These weapons are enough to expand our division by more than 30,000 people."

"I'm afraid your military region has suffered a lot of losses this time. It's such a large defense zone, but you didn't expand it. How come most of the troops were distributed?" Old Chen said to Zeng Jiwen.

Zeng Jiwen listened and nodded.

"It can't be a small number, more than 20,000 people have been lost!"

"We have retained weapons and equipment for two divisions. Combined with the output of the Taihang Army Factory, we don't need that much conventional equipment for the time being."

"This battle has squeezed out all the water from this year. What remains is to train troops and expand to the North China Plain."

"Besides, we got a great advantage this time. The Japanese air force and heavy artillery were not in North China. In addition, the mountainous plains are different from the previous combat methods. We did not fight the Japanese army head-on, and this time the Japanese army in North China suffered a great loss."

"I guess the Japanese troops in North China learned their lesson later."

After hearing Zeng Jiwen's words, Lao Chen suddenly remembered something.

"Looking at the battle report this time, your special forces team did a great job. Many county special forces teams also made great contributions."

Zeng Jiwen became unhappy when he heard this.

"I've given you the artillery, and you still want men! If you want, just provide the men and equipment, and send them all over. I promise to train a team for you, too."

When Old Chen heard this, he immediately became interested.

"You're telling the truth!"

"I'll send a group of people over here someday, and you can train them for me!"

When Zeng Jiwen heard what Lao Chen said, he thought for a moment that Lao Chen was wrong.

"What did you say?"

"A regiment!"

Zeng Jiwen stared at Lao Chen with his eyes wide open.

When Old Chen saw Zeng Jiwen's surprised look, he immediately became dissatisfied.

"Why are you so stingy? You're a master, and you're asking me for the rest. That's too much."

After hearing what Lao Chen said, Zeng Jiwen immediately decided to live in Bengbu.

"A group, you thought of that."

"Well, you stay for a few days. I'll take you to Songjiazhuang tomorrow. The special operations team's base is there. I'll show you how they train."

"There's still one more group!"

Hearing Zeng Jiwen's words, Lao Chen was a little confused. No, how could a group react so strongly?

Even if a regiment consumed more ammunition and food, there shouldn't be such a big reaction.

"You are a commander, but who in our Eighth Route Army can be as wealthy as you now?"

"........."

Zeng Jiwen was suddenly speechless.

"You'll know when you see it tomorrow."
