I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 737: Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, both red and professional

The captain of the Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan Column was no ordinary person. He was born a slave and was absolutely both red and professional.

Song Wenwan said that with him leading the First Column, there would be fewer people coming to the Sixth Militia Division to cause trouble in the future.

The further Commander Ma of the National Brigade walked in, the more surprised he became.

As a local, Commander Ma had no idea when so many elite troops had been hidden in Yehu Valley.

He used to work for the National Army and is now in the Eighth Route Army, so he knows what the real elite troops look like.

But the troops before him were truly different; strong and powerful was not enough to describe them.

In order to quickly encircle and annihilate the two Japanese divisions, they took out all the weapons they had.

As they walked, Commander Ma asked Political Commissar Liu: "Political Commissar Liu, how many people came to Wei County this time?"

Political Commissar Liu: "I dare not hide it from Commander Ma. This time, there are more than 100,000 troops coming, just to target these two divisions of the Japanese devils."

Commander Ma nodded after hearing this. This time he believed that Commander Ma really was not bragging to him.

However, it was still a bit risky for 100,000 people to fight 40,000 Japanese invaders on the plain.

You have to know that the Japanese Kwantung Army is not so easy to deal with.

There is also the Japanese's newly formed 201st Division, but their combat effectiveness is not high.

But that is only compared with their own people. If they encounter the government troops of the temporary capital, their advantage is still obvious.

"Reporting to Commander Yun, we have completed the mission of luring the enemy deep into our territory, and now we are applying to rejoin the team."

Yun Guichuan: "Comrades, you have worked hard. Were there any casualties when you came back?"

Captain Ma: “Only a few comrades were accidentally injured.

They have been bandaged now and will not delay the next battle."

Seeing Yun Guichuan observing Commander Ma, Political Commissar Liu hurried over and introduced the two of them to each other.

"Reporting to the column commander, this is Commander Ma from the Jizhong Plain National Brigade."

When Yun, Gui and Chuan heard that the person opposite them was Commander Ma, their expressions became particularly interesting.

"Political Commissar Liu, that..."

“Captain Yun Zong, don’t worry, we have already apologized to Commander Ma.

Our Commander Ma also gave Commander Ma and his men 20 submachine guns."

Yun Guichuan: "Haha, I have also heard of your great name for a long time, so I borrowed your name, please forgive me."

Commander Ma said: "Okay, okay, we are all armed forces against Japan.

As long as we are fighting the Japanese, let alone using my name, even if we let our detachment attack together, there will be no problem at all."

Yun, Gui and Sichuan: "We are all part of the revolutionary team, so we should be one family and not have different opinions."

Commander Ma was stunned. He thought to himself, is the "revolution" you are talking about the same as the revolution I am thinking of?

Yun Guichuan: "Captain Ma, come here, we are all comrades, why are you still so stingy?

Twenty submachine guns, is that considered an apology to Commander Ma?

Don’t blame Commander Ma. This guy was the one who got me into the Red Army just by using his mouth.

He even promised to give me a dollar, but guess what happened.

He told me that the money would be given to my family, but you said I was just a slave, so how could I have any family?

Even so, he still owes me a dollar and hasn’t given it to me yet.”

Captain Ma was not embarrassed at this moment. Instead, he smiled and said to Yun Guichuan.

"Well, you are now the commander of a column, and I am only the commander of a regiment. There is a huge gap between you and me."

Commander Ma: "Aren't you from the National Army? How did you become the Red Army?"

Yun Guichuan: “Don’t ask too much, I’m an old party member who joined the army three to five years ago.

I can’t tell you anything else now, I can only say one thing, we have been red from the beginning to the end, so you can rest assured.

Captain Ma..., Political Commissar Liu, you are an old revolutionary after all.

Are you just going to watch our old comrade Ma lose face for your cavalry division?"

Political Commissar Liu muttered to himself: Yes, yes, what you said is right.

It's as if if the cavalry division loses face, you infantrymen will be glorious.

Besides, you don’t dare to say anything about your old superior, so you drag me out to criticize me. What’s the big deal?

Yun Guichuan: “Commander Ma, to express my apologies to you.

I will give you thirty Czech guns and five Maxim guns.

Don’t complain about the small number of bullets. You will be equipped with 30,000 rounds for light machine guns and 25,000 rounds for heavy machine guns.

I will give you five 82mm mortars and two hundred rounds of ammunition. How about that? Isn't Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan generous enough?"

Commander Ma: "Hahaha, Captain Yun, you are so kind.

On behalf of all the comrades in the National Brigade, I would like to thank you for your support. "

You have to know that the ethnic detachment is indeed capable of fighting, but it is restricted by the limitations of weapons and equipment.

Their troops had grown to more than 3,000 people and were almost reaching a bottleneck.

Now we have accepted the thirty light machine guns and five Maxim guns sent by Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.

With the addition of five mortars and artillery shells, its strength soared directly to the main force regiment.

That’s not true, they are the main force in this area.

The Japanese traitors who had been killed in the past were terrified by the news, and now the Japanese in this area are probably going to flee at the sight of them.

Commander Ma: “Well, since you are so righteous, we can’t just stand by and watch.

I will send someone back to mobilize the troops to help you guys out."

Yun Guichuan: “Ahem, you don’t need to send anyone back to mobilize the troops.

I know they are all good people.”

Captain Ma and Political Commissar Liu looked at each other and both noticed a gleam in Yun Guichuan's eyes. There must be a story here!

Yun Guichuan: "They are all great people. When they heard the gunshots in Weixian County, they came out to help.

You know, our operation needs to be kept secret, so we shielded the battlefield..."

Commander Ma had attended an officer training class and he knew what battlefield shielding meant.

He quickly asked, "Are there any casualties on either side?"

Yun Guichuan: "Don't worry, no one was killed, just a dozen or so were injured.

However, we have already asked doctors to treat the injured. They have already eaten and are resting.

By the way, we only ate steamed buns, rice porridge and salted duck eggs. We definitely did not give the comrades any random food.

Many of our cadres and soldiers are from the Northwest, and we all understand ethnic policies.”

Commander Ma: Should I thank you again?

"Are they so obedient that they follow your instructions?"

Yun, Gui and Sichuan: “We seized a lot of Type 38 rifles in the county arsenal.

I gave them a thousand of them in exchange for their old guns and some cold weapons."

Commander Ma now has a splitting headache and he has the urge to hit someone.

No wonder the weapons thrown by those Gannan cavalry looked familiar to him.

It turned out that these weapons were all snatched from his subordinates.

Yun Guichuan: “This time, the comrades of the National Brigade will not suffer any loss.

In addition to the rifles, we also gave them five hundred Garand semi-automatic rifles.

One hundred thousand rounds of Type 38 rifle bullets and one hundred and sixty thousand rounds of semi-automatic rifle bullets were delivered.

Later, your Battalion Commander Han spoke up, saying that Commander Ma was very strict in disciplining the troops.

If there weren't two Type 92 infantry guns and two hundred rounds of ammunition.

It is impossible for them to leave the Japanese alone and run back to the rear to rest and recuperate."
