Bright Sword: I checked in amidst the aftermath of the battle

The regimental commander cried during the 16th chapter.



The regimental commander cried during the 16th chapter.

The two are sparring on the training field.

The two sides attacked and defended, resulting in a stalemate.

It's a classic case of "you can't hurt me, and I can't hurt you."

Clang!

Wang Yousheng once again gathered his strength for another attack.

Unfortunately, Li Dahai neutralized the force again.

"Ahem!"

Just then, the soldiers were drawn to a cough and saw Li Yunlong walking over with his hands behind his back.

Li Yunlong raised his hand and said, "Little Li, I've seen you two spar for a long time, and it looks like you can't decide a winner. Let's just call it a draw."

"Um?"

Li Dahai glanced at Li Yunlong, then immediately stopped and shouted, "Greetings, old commander!"

At this moment, he was feeling frustrated. Logically speaking, he was the battalion commander of the guard battalion directly under the division headquarters, and had been in the army for six years. Yet today, he had fought a bayonet duel with a new recruit to a draw.

However, it seems there's no way to break through Wang Yousheng's defense, so continuing like this is pointless.

He then withdrew from his fighting stance and said, "Alright, Secretary Wang, let's call it a draw."

After saying that, he handed the wooden gun to the soldier next to him and said, "Secretary Wang, your thrust and defense just now are different from ours! I have practiced kung fu for a few years and found that your technique is a bit like Tai Chi, a kind of using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds."

Wang Yousheng also sensed it: "It seems so."

Li Yunlong chuckled and joined in the critique: "This kid's a natural, no-nonsense talent. Little Li, what do you think? Not bad, right? The soldiers my new regiment trained?"

"Yes, he really has some skills!" Although it was a draw, Li Dahai still admired him.

Li Dahai added, "Secretary Wang, these moves of yours look quite good. If you can teach them to the comrades, the soldiers' bayonet fighting skills will definitely improve greatly."

Li Yunlong chimed in, "Not bad, not bad, you've learned it all. Now kill a few more Japanese devils."

Wang Yousheng was waiting for this, and immediately nodded: "Of course, no problem. We can all learn from each other. It's just that as a secretary, I can only practice with you for about half an hour in the morning."

Li Dahai did the math in his mind. Half an hour wasn't a long time, but as long as he accumulated experience over time, he could learn these moves.

For the next half hour, Wang Yousheng began to share his techniques, which were essentially just copying the methods from the "Golden Finger" book, demonstrating them to everyone several times on the spot.

Then it's about helping with details and such.

At the same time, Wang Yousheng gained an unexpected advantage: Li Dahai was also a soldier trained by Li Yunlong. Back when they crossed the grasslands, Li Dahai was a squad leader in Li Yunlong's army, and it was Li Yunlong who personally taught him how to fire a gun.

Li Dahai has now risen to the rank of battalion commander of the division's directly subordinate guard battalion, while Li Yunlong is still a regimental commander. This shows how many mistakes he has made in recent years...

Nine o'clock in the morning, in the warehouse of the clothing factory.

Yesterday, a new batch of military uniforms, a total of two hundred sets, were piled up here.

At this moment, Wang Yousheng was directing several soldiers to move things.

Although there were only two hundred sets of military uniforms, this was the clothing factory's monthly production capacity.

It's not that production efficiency is slow, but rather that there is a lack of various resources.

A military uniform mainly includes a military cap, a military jacket, military trousers, and insignia. Winter military uniforms and cotton-padded hats both require the use of cotton.

The conditions for the Eighth Route Army were indeed a bit tight. The Republic of China government only recognized troops that were already in the establishment. Soldiers who were expanded did not have uniforms. In recent years, the Eighth Route Army had expanded significantly, and the extra soldiers could only be produced by the Eighth Route Army's arsenal.

Two hundred sets of winter military uniforms, only slightly thicker than summer uniforms. Due to material shortages and the expansion of the army, the clothing factory could only produce them this way. Something was better than nothing.

"Secretary Wang, the logistics team from the 772nd Regiment has arrived."

At this moment, the head of the security section of the logistics department led several soldiers in.

After the two sides exchanged glances, Wang Yousheng ordered them to start moving the military uniforms.

There were two horses outside the warehouse, each carrying a hundred sets of clothing. They finished moving everything in just a few minutes. Wang Yousheng glanced at them with his analytical eye and found that Cheng Chenghuan, the commander of the 772nd Regiment, was not there.

I remember Li Yunlong told him yesterday that Cheng Chenghuan was going to come to the logistics department to visit and comfort Li Yunlong. Why is he nowhere to be seen now?

He grabbed a soldier and pressed, "Comrade, where's your regimental commander? Hasn't he come?"

The comrade shook his head and said, "No, our regimental commander is already in the factory director's office."

"I see. Here's the approval document. Just sign it and you can leave." Wang Yousheng handed over the approval slip.

The distribution of new uniforms requires the approval of the division headquarters, followed by the logistics minister issuing an approval slip. Only after the approval slip is issued can the subordinate units come to collect their uniforms, leaving their signatures for filing before leaving.

After completing all the procedures, Wang Yousheng hurriedly returned to his office.

Wang Yousheng had never met Cheng Chenghuan, the commander of the 772nd Regiment, and this was an opportunity he had to seize.

Although Cheng Chenghuan was not as famous as Li Yunlong in Northwest Shanxi, he was able to become the commander of the main force regiment of the 386th Brigade, which was a regular unit, so he must have had some outstanding abilities.

Outside the factory director's office, the door was tightly closed. Before Wang Yousheng could even enter, he heard a series of sobbing sounds.

That was the sound of a man sobbing.

"Um?"

Wang Yousheng stopped and wondered what was going on with the door closed in broad daylight.

He immediately reported it.

"Come in!"

Only after receiving permission from the regimental commander did Wang Yousheng push open the door and enter.

There were only two men in the room. One was Li Yunlong, and the other was wearing a gray military uniform. His head was turned to the side, so his face could not be seen clearly, but since he was sitting face to face with Li Yunlong, it should be Cheng Chenghuan.

"Commander, the uniforms for the 772nd Regiment have been issued. Here is the approval slip."

Wang Yousheng handed over a list.

After taking it, Li Yunlong didn't look at it closely and put it directly into the cabinet, saying, "Kid, if you don't have anything else to do, go out. I want to catch up with my old comrades."

"Yes."

Before leaving, Wang Yousheng glanced at Cheng Chenghuan and, from the side, saw that his eyes were filled with tears.

What exactly did Li Yunlong and Cheng Chenghuan talk about that could make the commander of a main force regiment shed tears?

Naturally, he wasn't high enough in rank, and since Li Yunlong had given the order, he certainly didn't want others to see Cheng Chenghuan in this state.

After leaving the office, Wang Yousheng saw the soldiers from the 772nd Regiment's logistics team waiting in the courtyard.

Outside the gate, two soldiers were leading several horses, clearly waiting for Cheng Chenghuan to come out.

It should have been a joyous day to receive new military uniforms, but several soldiers from the 772nd Regiment looked gloomy and seemed to be in a bad mood.

Taking the opportunity, Wang Yousheng stepped forward and asked in detail, "Comrade, has something happened to your 772nd Regiment?"

The person in charge was the head of the logistics team, who said indifferently, "It's nothing, it's just that things haven't been going well lately."

"What's wrong? Tell me about it?" Wang Yousheng asked curiously.

The logistics team leader glanced at Wang Yousheng, then, without hiding anything, explained, "Oh! We recently fought a skirmish, and the political commissar was killed. It was Shi Yousan who killed him!"

"Shi Yousan".

Wang Yousheng was startled. Wasn't this the infamous traitor who had defected to the enemy?
