Chapter 160 The Youngest Column Commander
After Gundam exited from the system space.
I came to the lounge chair in the yard and lay down, ready to rest.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I heard hurried footsteps outside the yard.
Li Dakang excitedly rushed into the yard with the report.
"Captain, the spoils of war have been seized. Our county brigade has made a fortune this time."
Gundam opened his eyes and saw Li Dakang.
"Captain Dakang, tell me about our seizure this time."
"Captain, in this battle we have seized a total of 5230 Type 38 rifles, 100 million rounds of ammunition, and 140 rounds of ammunition from the Japanese, including 80 light and heavy machine guns. More than 30% of the firearms were damaged and unusable."
"We seized 78 grenade launchers and mortars, and 1380 shells. As for the mountain artillery, they were all blown into pieces by rockets. The soldiers dragged them back and prepared to send them to the arsenal for re-smelting, ............."
"There are also a number of other military supplies that have filled up our warehouses."
After listening to Li Dakang's report, Gaoda was very satisfied.
“By the way, Captain Dakang, this battle must have attracted the attention of the headquarters. It will be difficult for us to develop quietly from now on.
You load all the weapons and ammunition seized this time onto the truck. Except for some useful ones that we keep for ourselves, take the rest to the headquarters."
"No problem, Captain. I'll go down and arrange it now."
Li Dakang turned and left the yard.
Gundam had his own reasons for sending these weapons and ammunition to the headquarters.
He wants to fight for greater autonomy in development from the headquarters.
Not knowing what kind of reward the headquarters would give for this great victory, Gundam couldn't help but start looking forward to it.
..............
The rear area of Shaanxi mountainous area.
When the commander-in-chief learned that the Eighth Route Army had actually wiped out an entire Japanese brigade in Shanxi, he was extremely happy.
A high-level military meeting was immediately convened.
At the meeting, the top leader was very pleased with the achievements made by the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.
This great victory was a great encouragement to the national war of resistance.
When the chief learned that it was a county battalion that wiped out the Japanese brigade, he was shocked.
All the leaders present were also shocked.
"Gundam is really amazing. We should make use of people like him."
Afterwards, the chief proposed at the meeting to upgrade the county brigade led by Gaoda to an independent column.
With the current number and strength of the Ping'an County Brigade, it is fully capable of forming a column.
After discussion, many leaders in the conference room unanimously agreed to the chief's proposal, mainly because Gao Dali's contribution this time was too great. The Eighth Route Army had never achieved such a brilliant record since its establishment.
If such a record were achieved by the National Army, it would be publicized vigorously and all kinds of honors and awards would be given to it.
After the meeting, the chief personally wrote the promotion telegram and sent it to the Eighth Route Army headquarters.
When the communications room of the Eighth Route Army headquarters received the telegram from the top leader, they did not dare to neglect it.
The communications director trotted to the headquarters with the telegram.
At this time, the chief was discussing with the chief of staff how to commend the county brigade.
"Chief of Staff, please tell me how we should reward the Ping'an County Brigade for their great achievements this time?"
The Chief of Staff thought for a moment and replied.
"Commander, I really can't think of how to commend the county brigade. They have made such a great contribution in this battle.
In addition to giving the county brigade a first-class collective merit, I think we should also... "
The Chief of Staff had just finished speaking.
A report was heard at the door.
"Report to the commander, the commander in the rear called."
"Show me the telegram."
The communications director handed the telegram to the chief.
The leader took the telegram and read it.
Ten seconds later.
The commander exclaimed: "Oh my god, this time Gundam is going to be awesome. He is the youngest column commander in the entire army."
The chief of staff next to him heard what the leader said.
"Commander, what did the commander-in-chief say in his message?"
"See for yourself."
The chief of staff took the telegram from the leader and began to read it.
"Damn, this is too big a deal, Commander. This is unique in the entire army." The chief of staff said in shock.
"That's right. This is the first time in all these years that I've seen the chief praise someone so much. This time, Gundam has really caught the chief's eye."
Everyone began to envy Gundam, his promotion speed was even faster than riding a rocket.
He was directly promoted from the captain of the county brigade to the commander of the independent column.
The most important thing is that the commander-in-chief also emphasized in the telegram that the independent column should be given a very high degree of autonomous development rights. This alone would make many generals in the Eighth Route Army envious.
The chief looked at the chief of staff in front of him and said with a smile.
"Chief of Staff, it seems that we don't need to discuss the commendation for Gundam any further. The telegram from the commander-in-chief is more valuable than any other commendation."
"Hahaha, yes, Gundam is really lucky this time."
The leader shouted to the communicator next to him:
"Communicator, go and notify the commander of the 386th Brigade to come to the headquarters."
"Yes, Chief."
The communicator immediately called the 386th Brigade.
It didn't take long.
The brigade commander rode quickly to the headquarters on horseback.
As soon as he got off the horse, he rushed into the command center in a hurry.
"Commander, you called me so urgently, is there something good?"
The chief looked at the brigade commander in front of him.
"I'm telling you to come to the headquarters today to deliver an order."
The brigade commander asked curiously, "What order do you want to convey?"
"The chief called and the central government decided to upgrade the county brigade to an independent column. Gaoda is now the commander of the independent column."
The brigade commander was stunned when he heard what his leader said.
He couldn't believe what he just heard.
This kid Gaoda actually became the commander of the column, and the county brigade became an independent column.
Oh my god, this guy Gundam is so lucky.
I am so envious.
I am the commander of the 386th Brigade. I have been in this position for so long, but I am still just a brigade commander.
This guy Gundam has been promoted directly from battalion captain to commander of an independent column, and his rank is actually two or three levels higher than mine.
The brigade commander said enviously: "Commander, I really envy Gundam now. I didn't expect that the commander-in-chief would think so highly of Gundam. I am jealous."
The chief smiled and said, "Why are you so jealous? If you can show us your record of destroying the Japanese brigade, you can also be rewarded and promoted."
After hearing what the leader said, the brigade commander smiled and said nothing.
