"Commander, this watch?"

Ignoring the head of the 218th Regiment, the guard Xiao Liu and the head of the 770th Regiment, Luo Wen, who were so distressed that their faces were distorted, left the 218th Regiment station without looking back and returned to their own camp.

duration

Xiao Liu handed the watch on his wrist, which had just been brought over from the 218th regiment, to his own regiment commander.

"You bring it yourself!"

Rowan had no interest in the watch.

"Huh?"

Xiao Liu was stunned.

He remembered that his head had always wanted a good watch.

The watch seized from the devil's side, although it can still be used, the shell is damaged, the time is also a little inaccurate, and it needs to be calibrated from time to time.

It's troublesome!

And this watch was obtained by the regiment commander's strategy.

"Who wants this garbage."

Rowan spoke disdainfully.

If it was a week ago, that is, before he went to the independent group to change clothes, he would probably drool over this watch and take it as soon as possible.

This is a top Swiss watch, and the foreign price starts at 300 US dollars, and even exceeds 500 US dollars in China.

But now...

has seen Li Yunlong's high-quality military watches, and he can't look at this garbage.

Li Yunlong's watch,

Anti-falling, more than ten meters, more than 20 meters down, the skin is not broken a little, falling in the water, immersed in the mud and sand, diving more than ten meters deep, it has no effect at all.

There is also anti-exposure luminous.

And this so-called Swiss watch··

Rowan looked at the watch in the guard's hand with disdain.

When you leap into the charge, you have to be careful to protect it.

Not suitable for other purposes at all.

It's not as good as the devil's watch he seized - at least it's not distressing if it's broken.

"Okay..."

Xiao Liu happily put away his watch.

He finally had a watch, too.

···

It was noon.

Half a day has passed, and the head of the 218th Regiment is still shaking his hands.

It's even getting worse.

Because during this time, he not only saw clearly the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army - it was really stronger than an infantry wing of the devil, and it was much stronger.

The most terrifying thing is that

It's terrible to have more ammunition.

The boxes of shells make people's scalps tingle when they look at them.

and

His troops were still surrounded on the other side, leaving no gaps.

And he didn't dare to ask how long this siege would be.

"Commander."

Suddenly, a staff officer ran up to him and said:

"They're going to have a fellowship with us!"

"Fellowship?"

The 218th regiment was stunned, followed by a burst of intense distress.

What a fellowship.

It's just that he took a fancy to the supplies in his warehouse.

"Go, send someone to pull all the food out."

His tone grew more and more heartbroken.

Three hundred oceans of Swiss imported watches are gone.

He originally thought that he would buy some military rations, deduct some military salaries, and make up for the losses, but he didn't expect that...

"No, the Eighth Route Army said that they provide food, and we will just wait for it."

"Except for the necessary guards, the rest must pass, and no one is allowed to be left behind."

The debriefing staff officer continued.

"Huh?"

The commander of the 218th Regiment was stunned for a moment, and huge doubts appeared in his heart, as well as vigilance - what bad ideas did those people have?

"Captain, we..."

Seeing that his regiment commander was stunned, the staff officer asked.

"Go."

Although his heart was not good, the commander of the 218th Regiment was panicked.

···

"What are they going to do?"

There are straw bales in the preserved fruits.

That's right.

And there are really a lot, such as Sun Desheng's old boss Shi Yousan and others, who grabbed a lot of them.

But to say that the preserved fruits are all straw bales would be very wrong.

Even in the preserved fruit, there are many who have really done it with real knives and guns with devils.

The commander of the second battalion of the 218th Regiment, Cheng Shun is one of them.

At that time, the commander of the first battalion of the 218th Regiment took the lead in running away, and the position of the second battalion was attacked by the devils on both sides.

Thanks to the example of the second battalion commander, coupled with the hard work of his subordinates, and the support of some soldiers of the first battalion, the devil was finally driven back.

It can be said that

Among the cadres at the regimental and battalion level, only the second battalion commander is a real soldier.

At this time, Cheng Shun looked at the Eighth Route Army in front of him, his eyes showing doubts.

Recently, the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army have become very good, although the commander of the 218th Regiment is still unclear, but Cheng Shun has long known!

He had read a Xinhua newspaper.

Although the head of the 218th regiment has also seen Xinhua News, he has not read it, or he disdains it.

However, the equipment of the eight roads in front of him still exceeded Cheng Shun's expectations.

It's really good.

It's a lot better than the devils!

Especially light weapons.

And, although the weapons are brand new and the uniforms are brand new, it is clear that this is a unit that has just experienced the flames of war.

Cheng Shun can see it at a glance,

What is the purpose of such a force, first with heavy artillery to deter, and then to surround them?

Cheng Shun was puzzled.

It is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to use so many manpower and materials just to scare them, and he can see the previous shelling clearly, the 770th Regiment in front of him fired a total of 120 shells, including 10 heavy artillery shells.

"Battalion commander, the regiment commander ordered us to go over there for dinner."

At this time, a communication soldier came over and reported to Cheng Shun.

"Eat?"

Cheng Shun was stunned.

This order was indeed unexpected.

Invite them to dinner?

"Yes."

"The regimental commander ordered us to go over."

"He also said, let us not bring anything, leave weapons and ammunition behind, and people just go over."

The communications soldier continued.

"It seems..."

"Our regiment leader, you don't want to see me!"

Cheng Shun narrowed his eyes.

Three battalions of the 218th Regiment.

His second battalion was not welcomed.

Even half a year ago, the regiment commander and the first battalion commander fled in battle, and he led his brothers to resist the devil to the death.

Thanks to this time, the two men were not held accountable afterwards.

Staying in such a unit, if it weren't for the reluctance of his soldiers, he would have brought them out, many of them were still fellow villagers, if it weren't for the devil coming, he would have thought about it a long time ago.

So when I don't know what the Eighth Route Army thinks, let them test it with the second battalion first.

"Assemble."

Thinking of this, Cheng Shun gave the assembly order.

···

"This is the second battalion."

In the temporary regiment headquarters of the 770th Regiment, the head of the regiment, Luo Wen, said excitedly:

"This man is a man of personality and a real soldier."

"Half a year ago, the 218th Regiment of the Central Army was responsible for garrisoning Shizishan, and encountered an attack launched by a brigade of devils under the cover of six artillery pieces, and the first battalion and the regiment commander fled at that time."

"It's this Cheng Shun, with hundreds of people, who stubbornly blocked the devil's attack."

"And the soldiers are also very strict, never deduct military salaries, and eat and live with the soldiers."

"Eat and live together."

In the regimental headquarters, the staff officers talked to themselves.

Eat and live together.

It's easy to say.

But even in the Eighth Route Army units where the superiors have strict regulations, not everyone can do it, and recently many guys who deduct and embezzle salary subsidies have been discovered.

In the preserved fruit, it is rare for a battalion commander to be like an ordinary soldier.

"Our purpose this time is Cheng Shun and his second battalion."

"There are more than 700 people in these two battalions, but they are all veterans, with a little training and good equipment, they are definitely the main force of the first class."

The more he spoke, the more excited his tone became.

He spent so much movement, consuming close to two hundred shells, for what?

Is it for the watch of the 218th regiment commander?

No!

It is for the most essential part of the 218th regiment,

Second battalion!

The one who was under the cover of no fire, blocked more than 700 soldiers of the second battalion and more than 50 company and platoon squad officers supported by six guns.

For this, even in the Eighth Route Army, he can be regarded as a very good battalion-level officer.

"I'm afraid that the head of the regiment won't let people go so easily."

The guard's tone was worried.

A five-hundred-dollar watch is not a big problem.

But a main battalion of more than 700 people, even without weapons and equipment, is very problematic.

Once the other party makes a big fuss about it, it will be very troublesome!

Unlike the recent shelling.

Conflict is not a problem, and neither are casualties.

Take the situation over there with the preserved fruit.

Let more than 700 people join the Eighth Route Army!

Compared with the conflict with the troops, the casualties were heavy, and the problem was more serious than the more than 700 people who defected to the devil and became traitors.

"It's simple."

Rowan spoke confidently.

In the Independent Regiment, Grand Master Li and Political Commissar Zhao prepared a solution for him.

That is, the brigade headquarters has already agreed.

"Simple?"

The guard was stunned.

Can it be solved very easily?

"Will the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of the 218th Regiment agree?"

"Will Cheng Shun agree?"

The regiment commander sold the guanzi, and the guards simply changed the topic.

They didn't have contact with Cheng Shun in the early stage,

There was no contact with the soldiers of the first battalion of the 218th Regiment.

"Sometimes..."

Rowan looked at the busy cooking class,

Then he took a deep breath, the fragrant aroma of bacon, the fragrance of steamed rice, and the mellow aroma of pure white noodles, and after intoxicating for a while, he continued: "You must know that many times, canned meat is more effective than cannonballs!" ”

"And it's much more effective!"

"Canned meat is more effective than cannonballs..."

The guard Xiao Liu was stunned, and then showed a sudden expression.

He knows one thing.

The grass-roots soldiers of preserved fruit ate worse than when the troops were poor.

Basically, ordinary soldiers can only eat eight-treasure rice.

This is especially true of this kind of troops whose superiors brazenly withhold military salaries.

···

"It smells so good."

"It's meat, and rice, and white flour, and cornmeal."

As soon as the 2nd Battalion of the 218th Regiment entered the position of the 770th Regiment, they smelled the fragrance coming to their faces, and also saw the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army squatting and sitting in groups of three or five in battalion and company formations, eating meat from their bowls.

I couldn't help but drool.

Almost every soldier smelled the uncontrollable scent.

"Come on, come on..."

Unexpectedly, almost no one from the Eighth Route Army came to pick them up, only a few regimental personnel came over and said to them:

"Pick up one cutlery per person."

"Then go to the meal and get food."

"Fill up, but don't waste!"

"Don't eat to death, every meal is the same dish, and you will be full."

The officers of the regiment headquarters are very familiar with the process. (End of chapter)
