Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 96: Is there a smart person in Heiyun Village?

 In recent months, Kong Jie’s life has been prosperous.

 Although the basic regiment can develop independently to a certain extent, recruitment needs to be done with caution. Regardless of whether there is approval from the headquarters, just recruiting troops will reduce the productivity of nearby villages, which is enough to cause a headache.

The independent regiment completely wiped out the Japanese's Yamamoto special agent team in June this year, and this time it became famous in the defense zone.

Ordinary people who wanted to join the army came to Yangcun where the Independence Regiment was located in an endless stream. This really made Kong Jie experience a feeling of pain and happiness.

With the approval of the brigade commander, the Independent Regiment absorbed some qualified people from the common people who came to join the army. Even though they were carefully selected, one hundred and fifty new warriors were added.

Since the troops began to change equipment, Kong Jie first equipped the most elite battalion in the regiment with new rifles and light machine guns. After the soldiers mastered the new weapons, they began to attack the Japanese and puppet troops outside the defense zone.

After more than a month of boiling frogs in warm water, the Independence Regiment has dismantled two small Japanese artillery towers and cleared a puppet military stronghold.

 Under the leadership of the veterans, the new recruits have grown rapidly and have become qualified warriors who can stand alone.

Moreover, the seizures during this period were also good, and a lot of new weapons were added to the regiment.

At present, the independent regiment has more than 40 new and old light machine guns, three Type 92 heavy machine guns, and one Type 24 heavy machine gun.

Each soldier in the regiment is armed with a rifle. Except for some recruits who still use old sleeves, the rest mainly use MAS-36 and 38 caps.

In terms of bullets, except for the newly captured Civilian Type 24 heavy machine gun, which is slightly insufficient in ammunition, the bullet reserves of other weapons can completely fight a blocking battle with the Japanese brigade.

The only shortcoming now is the lack of heavy weapons. The newly added grenade launchers in the regiment last time were sent by Captain Yamamoto of the Transport Brigade, and there are only two pitiful mortars.

However, Kong Jie is already very satisfied with the current situation. The Independent Regiment is just a basic regiment, so what else do you want? Their regiment's current combat effectiveness has more than doubled compared to the last time the Japanese raided the area.

Moreover, Lao Kong’s biggest worry now was solved by the brigade commander.

The sacrifice of the previous political commissar Li Wenying was an eternal pain in Kong Jie’s heart. Whenever he encountered difficulties, he would always shut himself in his room and remember his old comrades.

 Even if someone mentions Li Wenying, his heart will feel cramped.

 After the considerate brigade commander learned about this, he specially found a very suitable political commissar for the independent regiment. After all, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. If a bowl of water cannot be leveled, it will be unfair to some extent.

 After Comrade Li Wenying left, the Independent Regiment was without a political commissar for more than half a year, and this vacancy had to be filled. The most suitable candidate is Li Wenying's younger brother, Li Wenjie.

This comrade not only has a high level of education, but also has studied in the rear areas. He is a political commissar trained with Zhao Gang.

Originally, Li Wenjie came to the base area with Zhao Gang, but he was delayed for a few days because of something.

Today is the day when he officially takes office as the Independent Regiment. Kong Jie has already thought about turning all his regrets for his brother into concern for Li Wenjie.

Considering the recent unrest in Shanxi Province and the fact that Li Yunlong, a bastard, had made a big move two days ago, Kong Jie decided to personally take the security platoon to pick up his political commissar.

　　————

At the same time, just as Kong Jie was preparing to set off, a group of transport teams was driving on the mountain roads in Jin Province. These nearly fifty people belong to the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.

As usual they chose lonely roads with caution, and sent out scouts in every direction. Although it is a transportation team, its training level and equipment are no different from those of the regular army.

 In addition to rifles, five warriors were equipped with Jin-made Thompsons. Because they often encountered bandits in the early years, the combat effectiveness of this No. 50 man was not bad.

Just when everyone in the transport team thought they could return to the regiment headquarters safely this time, a man dressed as a commoner appeared in the middle of the road ahead. It seemed that there was something wrong with the mule cart.

Egg Dancer worked hard during his promotion to high-ranking officials and spent many years guarding his one-third of an acre of land.

 During this period, he did not adopt many ruling policies that oppressed the people. Instead, he focused on developing the economy and trying to improve people's lives. In addition, most of the troops of the Jinsui Army come from the local area, so the relationship between the soldiers and the common people is not bad at this stage. Although it has not reached the level of the Eighth Route Bureau base area, there is still basic trust.

When the transportation captain saw the broken down mule cart, he felt a little strange, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that he was overly worried.

 He ​​himself used to be a farmer, and he had also experienced the broken axle of a mule cart. Naturally, he would help if he could. Moreover, the scouts he arranged did not issue a warning, so the nearby area must be safe.

After thinking about it, he ordered the soldiers in the transport team to stay alert, and he took the three people around him to help.

But when he got closer, the commoner-looking coachman showed his fangs. He turned around and looked at the transport captain fiercely, holding two shell guns in his hands.

Facing the panic-stricken Jinsui Army, the bandit blocking the road had a playful smile on his face. He ignored the soldiers pointing guns at him in front and said:

"Hey, Master Jun! I'm so sorry that I failed to live up to your good intentions. Tell your brothers not to be nervous, we are only interested in making money."

At this time, the transport captain discovered that the commanding heights were full of bandits. They had powerful firepower and each had a rifle, and even several light machine guns and two mortars.

And the scouts he sent out all had bruises and swollen faces, and had a piece of rag stuffed in their mouths, as if they had been captured for a long time.

They were ambushed by more than a hundred people, and there were light machine guns and mortars on the commanding heights. Now they couldn't even kill them. Forced into desperation, the captain could only order the soldiers to put down their weapons.

Seeing that the enemy had given up resistance, the three leaders of Heiyun Village walked out of the crowd. The leader, Xie Baoqing, pointed at the transport captain and asked:

“This brother is very unfamiliar. Why haven’t I seen you before? Which department are you from?”

Even though he had given up resistance, the captain still maintained his last dignity as a soldier and ignored the enemy's questions.

But as the largest bandit leader within a hundred miles, Xie Baoqing naturally knows the situation and situation nearby very well. The closest one to here is Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment.

He first sent people to collect all the firearms in the transport team, and then personally inspected each truck. The weapons, ammunition and clothes made his eyes shine.

“Thank you for your weapons. On behalf of Heiyun Village, I would like to thank you, Commander Chu, and welcome you to come again.”

"But remember to bring more supplies, otherwise you will only be greeted by the guys in the hands of brothers, get out!"

Although they were very reluctant, everyone in the transport team could only leave in despair. Although these materials are very important, if they are lost, they will be punished by military law at most, but if they fight against the bandits, they will definitely lose their lives and money.

Looking at the Jinsui Army fleeing in despair, the second leader of Heiyun Village asked with some confusion:

“Brother, why did you let them go? The look in that boy’s eyes just now made me very unhappy. He might come to beat us in the future.”

Xie Baoqing looked at his brother with some irony, but just when he was about to speak, Gao Jianwu, the newly appointed third leader beside him, spoke first:

"We don't need to kill them. The Jinsui Army has money and a strong family background. Without these supplies, they will not go to war with us. Even as long as we are strong enough, we can continue to rob them of their supplies."

"But things changed once they took action. Although they are not like the Eighth Route Army that suppresses bandits every day, if they bully them and don't fight back, they are cowards."

“Shanmaozi, do you think our mountain stronghold can withstand Chu Yunfei’s artillery camp?”

 After hearing these words, Xie Baoqing nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with the third master who came to join the village a few months ago.

I'm coming.

The name of the third master of Heiyun Village comes from a book written by the same group and channel as me.

"Bright Sword: Conquering Heiyun Village at the Beginning"

This book already has 52,000 words, and it is said that the author still has many manuscripts in reserve! Everyone should rush when it’s time to rush!
