Chapter 304 Chu Yunfei is stunned
Chapter 304: The Stunned Chu Yunfei Speaking of which, after the 358th Regiment led by Chu Yunfei followed the st Battalion to the st Regiment’s base, he was stunned by the scene before him.
He had never thought that the Eighth Route Army could have such sophisticated equipment, which completely overturned his previous cognition.
In his sight, dozens of cannons were quietly displayed in the regiment's camp, and what shocked him even more was that every soldier carried a semi-automatic rifle on his back.
Chu Yunfei recalled his previous observations of the First Battalion. At that time, he thought that the First Battalion was the elite in the independent column, so it was equipped with semi-automatic rifles.
He didn't expect that this was the standard equipment for all Eighth Route Army soldiers.
Chief of Staff Fang Ligong stood beside Chu Yunfei and said, "Commander, is this still the Eighth Route Army? It's simply too amazing. Even the German-equipped divisions in the Central Army are no better than this. How did they do it?"
Chu Yunfei shook his head. He didn't know what was going on.
Although he knew that the independent column was very powerful, he did not expect that its weapons and equipment were so luxurious.
He knew that semi-automatic rifles were rarely equipped even in the Central Army, mainly because they consumed too much bullets, at least 10 times more than single-shot guns, and also had very high logistical requirements.
Wang Shu took Chu Yunfei through the camp and walked towards the regiment's headquarters.
Along the way, the soldiers of the 358th Regiment had been arranged to rest next to the camp.
Chu Yunfei said to Wang Shu as they walked, "Captain Wang, your regiment's equipment is too good. It must be the strongest main force in the independent column, right?"
Wang Shu shook his head and explained with a smile: "Captain Chu, you think too highly of our regiment. Our regiment is barely ranked fifth in the independent column."
After hearing what Wang Shu said, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong were shocked again.
They didn't expect that the regiment, which they thought was very powerful, could only rank fifth in the independent column.
There were actually four regiments in front of them that were stronger than the first regiment, which gave them a deeper understanding of the strength of the independent column.
The Independent Column is indeed the strongest main force of the Eighth Route Army.
For a moment, Chu Yunfei felt a strong curiosity about the independent column.
He said to Fang Ligong: "Chief of Staff, it seems that we knew too little about the Independent Column before.
I really want to meet the legendary independent column commander Gundam and see how he led such a powerful force. "
Fang Ligong nodded.
After walking for about 10 minutes, Wang Shu, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong passed through the regiment's camp and finally arrived at the regiment's command post.
Wang Shu stood at the entrance of the command department and reported loudly: "Report to the regiment commander, the mission was successfully completed, and the 358th Regiment has been successfully rescued."
After hearing the report, Zhang Dabiao nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, well done."
"Commander, Commander Chu of the 358th Regiment is outside the headquarters now. He wants to thank you in person." Wang Shu continued.
"Let Captain Chu in quickly." Zhang Dabiao said immediately.
Wang Shu turned and walked out of the command center, then took Chu Yunfei into the command center.
As soon as Chu Yunfei saw Zhang Dabiao, he immediately stepped forward and thanked him solemnly: "Captain Zhang, I am Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment. Thank you very much for your rescue."
Zhang Dabiao responded with a smile: "Captain Chu, we are all brothers in arms, and we should support each other. On the battlefield, we should help each other like a family."
"Guard, go and make a few cups of tea." Zhang Dabiao ordered the guard beside him.
After hearing the order, the guard immediately took action and walked quickly out of the command center to prepare tea.
After a while, he returned to the headquarters with a few steaming cups of tea and handed the tea to Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong and Zhang Dabiao one by one.
In the following time, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong sat in the command center and had an in-depth conversation with Zhang Dabiao, telling Zhang Dabiao all the information about the Japanese regiment encountered by the 358th Regiment.
Chu Yunfei said: "Captain Zhang, the Japanese regiment we encountered is well-equipped and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated."
Fang Ligong added: "Yes, Commander Zhang, the firepower configuration of this regiment is also quite dense."
Zhang Dabiao listened carefully and nodded from time to time: "Captain Chu, Chief of Staff Fang, thank you for providing such important intelligence. It is crucial to our next action."
Just as several people were talking deeply, the communicator hurried into the command center.
"Report to the commander, the brigade sent an urgent message."
Zhang Dabiao immediately stopped talking with Chu Yunfei, quickly took the telegram from the communicator, and quickly scanned the contents of the telegram.
Then he stood up and said, "Captain Chu, I just received a telegram from the brigade headquarters. My regiment needs to evacuate here and rush to the outskirts of Yangquan."
Chu Yunfei was surprised when he heard the news: "Captain Zhang, you are stationed here well, why are you suddenly transferred to the vicinity of Yangquan City? Did something big happen?"
Zhang Dabiao shook his head. "I don't know exactly what happened. The telegram just said there were major strategic adjustments. Except for our regiment, all the troops in our brigade were transferred back."
Chu Yunfei originally wanted to continue asking some questions about the independent column, but the regiment was about to withdraw, and he knew that now was not the time to discuss in depth.
After saying goodbye to Zhang Dabiao in the command center, he brought Fang Ligong back to the 358th Regiment.
On the way back, Fang Ligong said to Chu Yunfei: "Commander, have you noticed that the number of people in the first regiment is also very large, much larger than the number of ordinary troops. In my opinion, the number of people in the first regiment has exceeded more than 4000."
Chu Yunfei nodded: "Ligong, you are right. I also found this point. Did you notice that I saw their soldiers' meals had canned meat just now? This is very luxurious, which shows the strength of the independent column's logistics."
He continued, "If they weren't wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, I would have suspected that they were disguised as the Central Army. Even the Central Army doesn't have such good weapons and equipment and food treatment."
Fang Ligong nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the strength and equipment of the independent column far exceeded our imagination."
Chu Yunfei's heart was full of curiosity, and everything about the independent column seemed very mysterious to him.
He said with emotion: "I really hope that after this war is over, I can personally visit the commander of the independent column, Gundam."
Chu Yunfei was very curious, and everything about the independent column seemed very mysterious to him.
He didn’t think so before, thinking that the Eighth Route Army was bragging. But now after seeing it with his own eyes, everything has changed. The Independent Column is indeed a very mysterious team.
