Chapter 161: The 8th Army Makes a Sensation
The brigade commander couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
"If my 386th Brigade can wipe out a reorganized brigade of the Japanese, we will be truly prosperous."
"I didn't expect that Gundam would make a fortune without telling anyone. He didn't even bother to inform me when he had such a good thing."
"Tch, no, this time Gundam has to treat us."
Originally, the brigade commander wanted to rob another wave of Gundams, but when he thought about the fact that the Gundams were now at a higher level than him, he felt frustrated and it would be difficult to rob Gundams again in the future.
Fortunately, he still has some shares in the arsenal and can get some dividends. During this period, his 386th Brigade has become strong after receiving weapons and equipment from Gundam.
Basically, each unit had a gun per person, and the excess weapons were used to support brother units.
The chief looked at the muttering brigade commander.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh.., nothing."
"This is Gundam's letter of commission. Go give it to him."
The chief took the letter of commission from the table and handed it to the brigade commander.
"Yes, Chief. I will go to the Pingan County Brigade now."
"Well, let's go."
Just as the brigade commander was about to leave, the chief spoke up.
"By the way, after you deliver the letter of appointment, bring the Gundam to the headquarters. I want to meet this captain who created miracles."
"No problem, Chief."
The brigade commander turned and left the command center, running towards Ping'an County with his guards.
The leader looked at the chief of staff and said.
"Chief of Staff, immediately report Gundam's achievements to the entire army."
"Yes, Chief."
As the Eighth Route Army Headquarters sent out a telegram of commendation, all units of the Eighth Route Army received the telegram sent by the headquarters.
When the various troops learned that the Japanese Fourth Brigade was wiped out by a county battalion, it instantly caused a sensation throughout the army.
No one could believe that a county brigade was so powerful. All the Eighth Route Army troops felt ashamed.
The regular army of the Eighth Route Army is not as good as a county brigade. If this were to be told to others, who would dare to believe it?
The commanders of various troops began to feel depressed.
...........
Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.
Li Yunlong was holding a telegram sent from headquarters.
The whole person was stunned.
"Damn, Lao Gao is really rich now."
"The commander of the independent column has great rights for independent development."
"Tsk, when will this good thing come to me, Old Li? I'm so envious."
Zhao Gang on the side said with emotion: "I never thought that the county brigade would be so awesome. This is the fourth brigade of the Japanese devils. It's shocking."
Both of them were extremely envious of the county brigade, especially this time the county brigade was directly promoted to an independent column, and Gaoda became the column commander.
An independent column is at the same level as an army, and there are only a few columns in the entire Eighth Route Army. Gundam's promotion speed is faster than riding a rocket, and he has become a high-ranking general of the Eighth Route Army.
Li Yunlong said sourly: "This time Kong Jie is going to be very successful. He will definitely become the brigade commander this time."
"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have taken over this independent regiment. I would have been much happier staying in the county brigade..."
No, this time we have to go to the county brigade and give Kong Jie a beating.
..............
Lijiazhuang, Ping'an County.
The brigade commander and his guards arrived at the county brigade headquarters after a long journey.
The soldier standing guard at the entrance of the village already knew the brigade commander, and when he saw it was the brigade commander, he immediately saluted and let him pass.
The brigade commander nodded and ran towards the village with his guards.
After riding to the headquarters, the brigade commander jumped off his horse.
With a horsewhip in hand, he walked towards the county brigade headquarters.
The sound arrived before people even entered the yard.
"Gundam, I want to congratulate you again this time."
When Gundam in the yard heard the brigade commander's voice, his heart trembled.
I hurriedly got up and prepared to greet him.
The brigade commander walked into the yard and saw the Gundam immediately.
"Gundam, you've really made it this time."
"Hey, brigade commander."
"What's the point of being rich? This time, in order to wipe out the Japanese Fourth Brigade, the county brigade spent all its resources." Gaoda said dejectedly.
The brigade commander walked to a chair in the yard and sat down.
"Gundam, you are still crying poor here, your arsenal produces so many weapons and ammunition every day.
The ammunition consumed by the county brigade can be replenished in a matter of minutes." The brigade commander joked.
Gundam smiled and sat down next to the brigade commander.
"By the way, Brigade Commander, what brings you here today? You're not here just to congratulate me, are you?"
"Gundam, I'm here to give you a letter of commission today."
"In view of the fact that the Ping'an County Battalion wiped out the fourth brigade of the Japanese invaders and achieved outstanding military exploits, it has won great honor for the Eighth Route Army.
The Central Committee decided that the Pingyang County Battalion would be appointed as an independent column, and Gao Da would be appointed as the commander of the independent column.
When Gundam heard what the brigade commander said, he was completely stunned.
"I...I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"Commander, you are kidding me."
The brigade commander said seriously: "Gundam, how dare I joke with you about this kind of thing."
"This is a telegram sent directly from the central government. Your letter of appointment was signed by the chief himself."
After hearing the brigade commander's affirmative reply, Gundam almost floated up.
This surprise was so great that Gundam was filled with immense ecstasy.
The brigade commander looked at the Gundam in front of him and said enviously.
"Gundam, I will call you Commander Gao when I see you next time."
Gundam spoke quickly.
"No, no. Brigadier General, you will always be my superior. Please call me Gundam from now on."
"I guess you still have a conscience."
"By the way, this time, in addition to announcing the order, the commander also asked me to take you to the headquarters. He wants to meet you." The brigade commander said.
Gundam nodded heavily.
"No problem, Brigadier. I just happened to be going to the headquarters as well."
"This time, the county brigade destroyed the fourth brigade of the Japanese and seized a large amount of weapons and equipment. We can take this opportunity to send all these weapons and equipment to the headquarters."
The brigade commander's eyes lit up and he spoke quietly.
"Gundam, you must have seized a lot of good stuff this time."
"Can you let me take a look first and pick some?"
"The 386th Brigade is extremely poor now and is in urgent need of weapons and equipment."
Gundam looked at the brigade commander who was acting pitiful and said with a smile.
"No problem, Brigadier."
"Whatever weapons and equipment you want, I'll take you directly to the warehouse to pick them out. There are a lot of weapons and equipment in the warehouse, and it's almost full." Gundam said generously.
“Hahaha, I knew you were straightforward, Gundam.
In that case, I won't be polite. Let's go and pick now."
