Mountain cannons were placed one by one in the open space.

The brigade commander couldn't put it down and inspected each gun one by one. When he saw mud on the gun mount, he carefully wiped it clean.

After looking at each cannon, he stood up straight with satisfaction and looked at Chen Shanhe.

"Chen Shanhe, don't you regret it?"

Although Chen Shanhe was in great pain, he still nodded and said through gritted teeth: "Don't worry, Brigadier!

A manly man, every spit is a nail, once I tell you, I will never go back on it!"

Sun Tiansheng stood by and looked at the mountain cannons in front of him. He couldn't help but said to Chen Shanhe with anguish in his heart: "Batalion Commander, how about we keep two mountain cannons!"

Even if it’s just two doors, that’s fine!

Not much, just two doors!”

Chen Shanhe was a little helpless: "This thing, do we have that many artillery left?

Besides, in addition to the mountain artillery battalion directly under the brigade, we captured two mortar companies directly under the regiment. In addition, our mortars were not fully equipped.

We only have one battalion, a battalion of three to four hundred people, and our current position is to consolidate our base!

Mountain artillery is a heavy offensive weapon, we don’t need it yet!

One door is enough!

Some regiments of the Eighth Route Army didn’t even have a mortar!

We must be content!

I'm right, Brigadier!"

Chen Shanhe's last words were directed at the brigade commander.

The brigade commander smiled and shook his head: "Okay, there's no need to talk to me. I said I would give you 200 veterans in exchange for equipment from a mountain artillery battalion.

Now that I have said it, I will not regret it!

But you kid, don't be afraid that you will completely recover your memory and find that you are not from the Eighth Route Army, but a high-ranking official on the Young Marshal's side.

When the time comes, you want to go back to the young marshal and enjoy the high official position and generous salary, but you find that all your troops are our people, and you are left empty-handed!

After all, I heard that you seemed to have studied together!"

Chen Shanhe shook his head:

"We haven't studied together, but we have been in contact with each other, and we have met many times when we were learning boxing and practicing martial arts.

But I can confirm that I have never served as an officer under him!

Brigadier, don't worry!

Even if I had another identity, I would not do anything harmful to the Eighth Route Army.

He doesn't have that ability either.

I am very aware of your Brigadier's ability to strategize.

With your words, let me tell Brigadier Wang, the temporary sixth brigade of the Jinsui Army, that he can only take the route of Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment in Liao County.

In fact, if it hadn't been for what you mentioned, Brigadier Wang might have taken the soldiers from the temporary sixth brigade back through the Eighth Route Army's territory!

After all, this road is the safest because they have not yet clashed with the Eighth Route Army.

But because of these words, they could only take the path of Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment.

Between the Shanxi faction and the Huangpu faction, hey hey hey!

Brigadier, when you play chess, you always take one move and look at five or six moves.

With my level, if I want to play chess with you without knowing my capabilities, then the only way is to lose. Why should I bother!

Besides, since I want Gu Qiu to be the instructor, and I will adopt a natural attitude towards the several instructors and dozens of veterans you sent to carry out ideological education and study in the army, you can know that I don't care about your actions.

I only have one request, that is, obey orders and fight the Japanese!"

The brigade commander listened and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, I have brought 200 veterans!

You have to think carefully. After recruiting these 200 veterans, the nature of your team will change. Although it does not have a designation yet, from now on it will be the armed forces of the Eighth Route Army!

Don’t regret it!”

Chen Shanhe nodded and gave an order to Sun Tiansheng: "Go and arrange for the 200 veterans to be broken up and organized into each company.

Then, using these veterans and our original troops as the backbone, we can expand to six more companies!

Integrate all the village soldiers into the army and start the integration. Each village must have a platoon of troops stationed, and then develop the local militia!

Mainly our original soldiers, supplemented by veterans brought over by the brigade commander.

We also need the veterans brought by the brigade commander to learn and get used to our fighting methods.

Such as tunnel warfare and mine warfare!

Especially mine warfare.

And I set the tone for actual combat training. If there are no enemies within the scope of our base area, then we will look for the enemy outside the base area and take the initiative to attack!"

"yes!"

Sun Tiansheng saluted and left.

After looking at the cannon, the brigade commander looked at the 120 horses: "You don't want the horses and equipment of this cavalry company?"

Chen Shanhe shook his head.

"Brigadier, you are asking questions knowingly!

I used to have a cavalry company. After raising a cavalry company, I realized that one horse needs to eat the food of 10 people. 100 horses are the food of 1,000 people!

I only have the establishment of a battalion, and the territory is only half a town, with more than a dozen villages.

Raising a battalion of men plus a cavalry company is already stressful enough.

Another cavalry company?

These are more than 120 horses, and they can feed 1,200 people just by eating them. It’s scary to think about it!

I can’t afford it, I can’t afford it, I don’t want it anymore!”

It was only after Chen Shanhe got a cavalry company that he realized why in the original plot, Li Yunlong got a cavalry battalion equipment when he first joined the independent regiment, but was robbed by the brigade commander, leaving only one cavalry company.

Because I really can’t afford it.

Li Yunlong wants to build a cavalry battalion for an independent regiment. How can he support it?

At that time, it was considered good if an independent regiment could barely support a cavalry company.

The same goes for Chen Shanhe. He can only raise a cavalry company now, not to mention that he is now engaged in defensive operations. The tone he has set now is tunnel warfare and mine warfare.

However, it was difficult for the cavalry's horses to enter the tunnel. If the Japanese army carried out a raid soon, without orders, the cavalry would have to run into the mountains and hide.

If there are too many horses and people, it will be difficult to hide.

This was one of the reasons why Chen Shanhe decided to give up the horses and equipment of this cavalry company.

After hearing what he said, the brigade commander burst out laughing: "I thought your kid would lose his mind after winning a few battles!

I didn’t expect that you could still understand the problem clearly!

Very good, very good!”

Chen Shanhe hit the snake with his stick: "Brigadier Commander, I thought about it, if the sixth brigade of the Shanxi-Sui Army temporarily came to attack me, why would it bring the mountain artillery battalion with it?

After much deliberation, I only got one answer: He brought the entire brigade, fully armed, with mountain artillery and mortars. The one we have to deal with is you, the brigade commander!

Otherwise, if I only have a battalion of 300 people, would I need to bring over the mountain artillery battalion?

Brigadier, I’ve helped you so much, why don’t you treat me to a drink?”

The brigade commander was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this young man would be so bold as to ask him to invite him to drink.

But then he smiled: "Okay! I came here in a hurry. I will definitely bring two jars of good wine with me next time I come!"

how?"

Chen Shanhe nodded with satisfaction: "That's okay too!"

However, the brigade commander rolled his eyes: "Chen Shanhe, drinking is fine, but why do I think there are fewer shells?

I heard that the mountain artillery battalion of the temporary 6th Brigade was captured by you without even firing a shot!

However, these cannonballs are a little short!

There are quite a few shells for the 105-caliber mountain cannon, but half of the shells for the 75-caliber mountain cannon seem to be missing!"

Hearing the brigade commander talk about this, Chen Shanhe chuckled.

"Brigadier Commander, it turns out that I didn't cooperate with Commander Li to capture two Japanese mountain cannons. He had one for me and one for me.

During this period, I used mountain cannons to knock down the Japs' bunkers, and the shells were consumed a bit.
