This time, because the battle was large and the battlefield was relatively scattered, it took two days to count the results.

Two days later, Zhao Gang submitted the complete list to the headquarters of the Northwest Shanxi Column that had been moved to Anhua City, and submitted it to the brigade commander.

When he saw the list, the brigade commander was convening a meeting of major cadres.

Except for Wang Ye, the cadres present at the meeting were all at the detachment level, and Wang Ye was the only regiment-level cadre present.

After taking the list from Zhao Gang, the brigade commander cleared his throat and said with a smile: "The results of the battle in the northwest of Shanxi have been counted. I'll read it to everyone."

The cadres attending the meeting all showed expectation.

Although they knew the results of the big battle, they annihilated a division of the Japanese, right?

However, it is impossible to know how many Japanese devils were wiped out and how many weapons, equipment and combat materials were seized, so I was eager to hear the exact number.

The brigade commander then recited: "In this battle, a total of 9,617 Japanese invaders were killed and 5,928 prisoners were captured. In addition, more than 5,000 puppet troops were shot or captured."

Hearing this, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and others immediately cheered.

"Beautiful!" Ding Wei said, "The total number is 15,545 people. The Japanese three-unit field division is only 15,000. In other words, the 69th Division is indeed completely wiped out by us."

Kong Jie knocked on the foot of the conference table with a dry tobacco pipe, and said excitedly: "The record of annihilation of a Japanese division in an established manner will eventually break our Eighth Route Army and our Northwest Shanxi Column."

Li Yunlong laughed and said, "When Chu Yunfei left, he was a little dissatisfied. When I see him next time, I want to ask him, are you convinced or not?

"Look at your promising prospect." The brigade commander said angrily, "Would you fight for Chu Yunfei when you fight?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Brig Commander, Chu Yunfei is second to me. The key is that I want to be angry. We have to let Lao Chang know that these American equipment are similar to fire sticks in the hands of the National Army. Only when we reach our Eighth Route Army can we truly play the role of weapons."

Wang Ye sighed.

Unfortunately, Li Yunlong's words were astonished.

Because of the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi two years later, the national army, which had been equipped with American equipment, was still defeated by the Japanese army, whose military quality and equipment level had severely declined. It abandoned its troops by millions and lost thousands of kilometers of land, which was a great humiliation. The beautiful president of the country, Frank, was so angry that he trembled all over his hands and feet.

Isn’t the US equipment in the hands of the national army just a fire stick?

The brigade commander turned his gaze to Wang Ye and asked with a smile: "Xiao Wang, don't you say a few words?"

"Me?" Wang Ye said with a smile, "I am happy that we have more than 5,900 free labor, and it is also free labor. Now our northwest Shanxi base areas have been connected in a large area, and there are more than 7,000 Japanese prisoners of war as free labor, so we can carry out a vigorous large-scale production and construction campaign."

"Yes, yes." Speaking of this, Li Yunlong suddenly felt spirited, "Arsenal! After being delayed for so long, our arsenal should start construction."

"There are also steel plants and power plants," Ding Wei said. "If you want to build an arsenal, you won't be able to do without steel plants providing raw materials and power plants providing electricity."

"Agricultural production cannot be pulled down," Kong Jie reinstalled a pot of cigarettes and said, "Now we have liberated the entire northwestern Shanxi and liberated more than one million people. More people have opened their mouths to eat. Grain production cannot be left behind, and the villagers must not be hungry."

The brigade commander nodded lightly and said, "But before starting large-scale production and construction, there is something that must be done first."

After a pause, the brigade commander said again: "According to the establishment of the 69th Japanese Division found from the stove, there are still seventy-six Japanese devils. These seventy-six Japanese may have been smashed by shells, but they may also be hidden in the homes of ordinary people in several counties, or they may be hiding in the wild cornfields."

Speaking of this, the brigade commander said to Zhao Gang again: "Xiao Zhao, the task of clearing out is left to your political department. We must find these 76 remaining Japanese soldiers as soon as possible, and do not let them threaten the lives and property of the people in the base area. The lives and property of the people are above everything else."

"Yes." Zhao Gang responded with a serious expression.

Li Yunlong asked the brigade commander with a flattering look and said, "Brig Commander, how many weapons and equipment have you seized?"

"Oh, yes, I forgot to say that the weapons and equipment were installed." The brigade commander smiled, picked up the list and said, "In this battle, more than 14,000 Type 38 rifles were seized."

"More than 4,000 Liao thirteen rifles."

"Eighty-one Type 92 or civilian two-four-layer machine guns."

"There are more than 400 studs, crooked or imitated Czech light machine guns."

"The four-type 75mm caliber mountain cannon thirty-six."

"The 18th Infantry Cannon Gate of the 92nd."

"More than 200 grenade launchers."

"More than 400 military telescopes for four times or six times."

"Eighteen telephone switchboards."

"More than 500 telephones."

"One thousand-meter long telephone line is more than 600 rolls."

“Forty-six radio stations of all sizes.”

"Seventy trucks and more than six thousand gas masks."

"Arakusa rifle bullets of more than 3.6 million times."

"Arzaka rifle bullets of more than 1.2 million times."

"More than 3,000 shells of various 75mm caliber shells."

"More than 1,000 shells of various 70mm caliber shells."

"More than 10,000 grenades thrown by 50mm caliber."

After a pause, the brigade commander said again: "There are also steel helmets, bayonets, lunch boxes, etc. below. Oh, there are also Southern Fourteen Pistols."

"I'm sorry, let's forget about the turtle box, this thing is only for militia or women's rescue."

Li Yunlong said with a rant and said, "Brig Commander, there are not many weapons and ammunition captured, and it is not as good as the weapons and ammunition seized when we attacked Taiyuan last time."

"Can this be the same?" The brigade commander said angrily, "You have robbed an arsenal when you fight Taiyuan."

Li Yunlong immediately beat the snake and came on the stick, saying, "Brig Commander, you see, this battle is only a little bit seized, otherwise you won't hand it over to the brigade headquarters, right? Just stay in our Northwest Column of Shanxi."

"Submitted to the brigade department?" asked the brigade commander, "Have I said I had handed to the brigade department?"

"Don't hand over?" Li Yunlong's mouth immediately grinned to the root of his ears, "Stay all behind?"

"Stay all? You think beautifully!" the brigade commander snorted, "In the next period of time, our Northwest Shanxi Column will accept the real reorganization. Not only will the personnel system be formalized, but the weapons and equipment should also be unified as much as possible considering the problems of logistics support. All the additional weapons and equipment and ammunition after the reorganization will be handed over to the headquarters."

Li Yunlong's donkey face collapsed and he said oh.

Li Yunlong's parochial thoughts are still very serious.

It is even more uncomfortable to ask him to hand over his weapons, equipment and ammunition than to cut his flesh from him.

"Look at your promising prospect." Seeing Li Yunlong's expression, the brigade commander was furious.

I thought to myself that Li Yunlong is good at everything, especially a good guy, but he just can't change this bad habit. Can't your fucking vision be broader?

Can you always keep staring at your own acre of three-point land?

How come this is like a detachment commander? Is it good to have a little structure?

Thinking of this, the brigade commander began to shake again. He was already preparing to recommend Li Yunlong as the acting commander of the Northwest Column of Shanxi to the headquarters, with Ding Wei and Kong Jie as the deputy commanders.

But now, the brigade commander feels that Li Yunlong is still not very qualified.

If Li Yunlong did not get rid of this bad habit, he would not be able to bear this important task.

Thinking of this, the brigade commander turned his attention to Wang Ye again, thinking that Wang Ye was actually the most suitable commander of the Northwest Shanxi Column, but unfortunately his qualifications were too shallow.

For Wang Ye, it is already the limit to go to the team level at this stage.

Wang Ye is not qualified enough to go to the first level of the detachment, let alone the column level. It is completely impossible, and Wang Ye himself may not be willing to serve as the commander of this column.

This kid seems to be more keen on special operations.

Facing the brigade commander's gaze, Wang Ye smiled.

Wang Ye could probably guess what the brigade commander was thinking.

It's nothing more than worrying about the personnel issues of the Northwest Shanxi Column.

The situation where the brigade commander is in charge of four positions will not last for too long, especially the two positions of commander of Taiyue Column and commander of Northwest Shanxi Column. It is estimated that one of them will be removed in a short period of time.

Moreover, the position he removed will most likely be the commander of the Northwest Shanxi Column.

If it were a cadre who was good at picking fat and checking thin, he would definitely take the initiative to choose the commander of the Northwest Shanxi Column, because the Northwest Shanxi Column was strong and at least now it was significantly stronger than the Taiyue Column.

Not to mention anything else, the equipment of the artillery regiment is much stronger than that of the Taiyue Column.

However, the brigade commander is very noble and will most likely turn down the position of commander of the Northwest Column of Shanxi.

Therefore, the brigade commander must be worried about recommending who to serve as the commander of the Northwest Column of Shanxi, because Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie all have obvious shortcomings.

Li Yunlong's parochialism is too serious and he likes to pull mountains.

Ding Wei has the strongest ability, but his qualifications are lower than those of Li Yunlong, and he also has many minor problems.

Kong Jie has the best personal qualities, but the three of them have the least qualifications and cannot suppress Li Yunlong and Ding Wei at all, so it is not suitable for any of these three people to join.

It is even more inappropriate to transfer people from outside.

Because the entire northwestern Shanxi was fought by Li Yunlong and the other three.

If an outsider is transferred to eat ready-made ones at this time, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie will not do it, and most of the cadres and soldiers below will be in a state of great emotion. In short, the mountain doctrine exists everywhere.

It is a delusion to completely eliminate the mountain doctrine in the army.

Wang Ye could also guess that the brigade commander was probably feeling a pity for him.

Because his qualifications are too shallow, he cannot hold a higher position.

But Wang Ye didn't think so, because as a time traveler, Wang Ye knew better than anyone else that our party and army did not lack military cadres to command large corps operations, otherwise the War of Liberation would not end within three years. So no matter how many of them, Wang Ye, would be just a icing on the cake and would not change anything.
