Bright Sword: Let my company hold off the Yamazaki Battalion

Chapter 12 The Brigade Commander Summons Me! Zhang Wanhe: "How about you come and be my regimen

The ceremony for recognizing meritorious service lasted for more than half an hour.

After the event, when each platoon was led back, the new recruits surrounded the veterans and officers who had received awards and commendations, chattering incessantly with questions.

Company headquarters!

Minister Zhang Wanhe and the headquarters leaders sat at the head of the table, with Chu Feng and Huang Zhenggong accompanying them.

"Chu Feng!"

The headquarters leader looked at Chu Feng with admiration in his eyes: "When the leader came, he asked me to pass on a message to you."

"You little rascal, you're still the same little tiger! Well done, excellent job!"

Chu Feng's eyes lit up with excitement. To be praised by the leader was an incredibly good thing.

"Oh, right!"

After relaying the leader's words, the headquarters leader, realizing something, smiled and said, "I have good news for you."

"That damned Yamazaki Battalion has been completely wiped out by us, not a single one left. They all died at Lijiapo."

Chu Feng and Huang Zhenggong were taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled.

"Sir, which unit launched the attack?"

Chu Feng was curious about how his appearance had changed the fate of the Yamazaki Battalion. He wondered if this change would affect the Independent Regiment's famous battle at Lijiapo.

"Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment!"

Minister Zhang Wanhe spoke up, laughing heartily: "This kid, my 20 boxes of grenades weren't wasted."

"However, even though the Japanese only had three or four hundred men, the battle was very difficult and the casualties were considerable."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's expression also became much more serious.

It must be said that the Japanese were incredibly powerful in the early and middle stages of the full-scale War of Resistance Against Japan. Even though they had already eliminated some of their own troops and destroyed their artillery units, the fighting was still so difficult, and they suffered considerable casualties.

Next, the leader inquired about the situation of the guard company.

Chu Feng didn't say anything, but instead gave Huang Zhenggong the opportunity to shine.

The leaders didn't linger; they sat for a while before leaving. As they were leaving, Zhang Wanhe pulled Chu Feng aside and said, "There should be some progress on your assignment to the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. The notification will be issued soon."

At this point, Minister Zhang Wanhe looked at Chu Feng expectantly: "I'm not very clear on the specifics, but after our General Logistics Department applied and the headquarters leadership approved, our General Logistics Department is preparing to establish a guard regiment."

"The goal is to integrate the guard forces of various factories and units under the Central Logistics Department, making them our strongest and most reliable last line of defense."

"So? Interested in becoming the group leader?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's heart stirred: "Guard Regiment? What's its organization? How will its weapons and equipment be handled? What specific areas will it be responsible for?"

Upon hearing this, Minister Zhang Wanhe immediately understood that Chu Feng was quite interested. Overjoyed, he quickly explained, "The organizational structure is not yet finalized, as the new regimental commander will determine it based on the actual situation after taking office."

"As for weapons and equipment, I will provide some, and the rest can be given to you with some autonomy in combat, which you can replenish through capture."

"The specific area I'm responsible for right now is the General Logistics Department area, which is a bit complicated and has a lot of different tasks."

"But as I said before, adjustments need to be made based on the actual situation after the new regimental commander takes office." At this point, Minister Zhang Wanhe paused, looking at Chu Feng with anticipation: "This unit belongs to the General Logistics Department."

"However, our General Logistics Department leaders do not participate in actual management and command; the entire responsibility rests with the regimental commander."

"Chu Feng, I hope you can consider this."

"After all, this guard regiment is the only one of our General Logistics Department's. Although there are few opportunities for combat, the work is very challenging."

Minister Zhang Wanhe's words were very blunt, almost like he was pulling Chu Feng's ear and saying, "The Guard Regiment is the General Logistics Department's own son. We provide weapons, equipment, and support. Once you arrive, you will be the regimental commander."

"You're in charge of the whole group. You can develop however you want, fight however you want, we won't interfere. You have absolute freedom."

Chu Feng was truly moved!

However, he did not agree rashly, but said to Minister Zhang Wanhe, "Minister Zhang, please allow me to consider it."

"Moreover, at my level, the issue of transfers depends more on the superiors."

"But if given the chance, I would still like to serve in your army."

Zhang Wanhe, who was initially somewhat disappointed, suddenly beamed with joy. Although he couldn't say he was 100% sure, he could tell that Chu Feng was interested.

"Um!"

Minister Zhang didn't urge him, but smiled and patted Chu Feng on the shoulder before leaving the guard company.

Nothing more was said that night!

Two days later, around noon, a communications officer arrived at the guard company.

"Company Commander Chu, the brigade headquarters has called, requesting that you proceed to the brigade headquarters immediately!" The communications officer saluted and shouted loudly after finding Chu Feng.

"Brigade headquarters?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng was taken aback, but then he remembered what Minister Zhang Wanhe had said. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and replied, "Yes!"

A few minutes later, he led a soldier and rode his horse at full speed toward the brigade headquarters.

More than forty minutes later, they arrived at the brigade headquarters.

"Report!!"

Chu Feng dismounted and strode to the command post, stopping in front of it: "Chu Feng, the guard company commander of the Huangyadong Arsenal, reporting for duty!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a voice rang out: "Come in!"

"yes!"

Chu Feng went inside and found the brigade commander already waiting.

"brigadier!"

Chu Feng quickly saluted.

"Alright, come over here and talk!"

The brigade commander greeted him with a smile, showing none of the intimidating aura that Li Yunlong had described as that of a powerful figure.

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng went over, and the brigade commander poured him a glass of water.

"I called you here today to inform you that your trip to the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University will be postponed for the time being." Putting down his water glass, the brigade commander didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"You know the specifics. We just launched a few raids on the Japanese, and their retaliation followed."

At this point, the brigade commander sat down and looked at Chu Feng: "Regarding your work assignment, there are three directions. Which one would you like to go?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng put down his water glass and sat up straight.

The brigade commander adjusted his glasses and said, "First, the Independent Regiment is short of a chief of staff. Are you going to go?"

Chu Feng was taken aback: "The Independent Regiment? Li Yunlong's troops?"

The brigade commander laughed upon hearing this: "That's right, right there."

"So, do you want to go?"

Chu Feng thought for a moment, not rushing to refuse, intending to hear the other two opinions before making a decision: "Brigadier, let me hear the others!"

After all, this also concerns the Japanese battlefield observation group, and as the chief of staff, he could make a profit by planning things out.

But then he realized that with Li Yunlong's domineering personality, he would never be in command of the troops, and he, as the chief of staff, might actually become a staff officer.

"Hehehe!"

The brigade commander didn't care. After all, everyone knew that Li Yunlong could fight but also cause trouble.

Partnering with someone like that is indeed difficult.

"Secondly, he will go to the New Second Regiment to serve as its deputy commander." The brigade commander then explained to Chu Feng, "The commander of the New Second Regiment is Kong Jie, the former commander of the Independent Regiment."

"He was rewarded for his meritorious service in the Battle of Lijiapo and was promoted to regimental commander."
