Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

Chapter 132: Make money! Make money! Make more money!

After dealing with Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, Chen Yan quickly called together the core members to hold a pre-war meeting.

He stood in front of everyone with a rosy face and said, "Brothers, good news, we are alive again."

The Independent Brigade is just a bunch of howling wolf cubs. When they hear about going to war, their eyes light up green.

Only Zhao Gang looked at everyone with resentment.

Just say war is war, what do you mean by coming back to life?

If he continues like this, Chen'er will sooner or later bring up a bunch of psychopaths.

At this time, Chen Yan patted the table, and the noisy meeting room immediately quieted down. The soldiers had serious expressions and sat up straight.

"Let me say a few words! Um...everyone get ready, we're going to attack Ping'an County tonight."

"What???".

Zhang Dabiao's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief:

“Brigade Commander, are you going to attack Ping’an County?

There are at least 800 defenders in Ping'an County, what a joke."

At this time, Li San, who was sitting next to him, kicked Zhang Dabiao's stool.

"Biaozi, what are you yelling about, did the brigade commander ask for your opinion?

Just listen with your ears open, what’s the matter, are you scared?”

"San'er, you said I was afraid?

What a joke! I was afraid that the devils’ blood wouldn’t be enough to feed my sword.”

......

The two of them joked for a while, and the room became quiet again, with everyone looking at Chen Yan.

"Cough! cough! cough!

You all heard it right just now, I am going to attack Ping'an County!

It is said that Ping'an County is a tough nut to crack, but I have a mouth full of steel and iron and I just don't believe it and I really plan to give it a try.

However, there is a way to fight this battle. You need to use your brain and not just rely on brute force.

Everyone remember that the battle tonight is not about storming the county town, but about infiltrating behind enemy lines."

After Chen Yan said this, it was clear that as a veteran with many years of experience, he probably had an idea in mind.

The brigade commander is trying to do something evil again.

Chen Yan continued, "Tonight is different from usual! I want money over life.

Let me tell you straight, I'm short of money.

I used to live a lavish life, and I can't live a poor life. I plan to borrow some money from the Japanese tonight.

Brothers, this is a good deal. You are all famous monsters and demons. You must show off your unique skills tonight and don’t embarrass me.”

After Chen Yan finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

"Hahaha...the brigade commander is right. If the Japs don't take the initiative to give us supplies, don't blame our independent brigade for taking it ourselves."

Chen Yan pointed at the soldier who had just spoken and said sarcastically:

"What you said makes sense, but I have to tell you, since we took the initiative to 'take' it, then take more and not less, otherwise I will be unhappy."

"Hahaha...".

At this time, the atmosphere in the operations room finally relaxed a lot.

Chen Yan waved his hand to calm the atmosphere.

“Next, I will introduce tonight’s mission in detail.

Our main targets of looting tonight are the Mitsui Bank in the Japanese financial street, the East Asia Trading Company in the commercial street, and the Japanese military hospital.

To put it bluntly, if you see anything valuable, just put it in your pocket and don't pretend to be polite to the Japanese."

"Hahaha...how polite of you to be!

If you happen to run into a Japanese woman, I will bring her back to you!"

"Get lost, fuck, now anyone dares to tease me, right?

Is a Japanese woman enough? If you want to do it, you have to get me a pair of Japanese sisters."

"Hahaha...".

Although Chen Yan's language is a bit rough, it is still very down-to-earth and can quickly get everyone excited.

This can be considered as a warm-up before the battle.

"Play is play, jokes are jokes, but I, Chen Yan, will make it clear in advance.

You little bastards, you are used to being wild, but this time when you come into the city you must behave yourself and don't cause any trouble.

I would like to remind you that you must pay attention to two points during your actions:

First, the defenders in the county town are not pushovers, so they should move as quietly as possible. If they alert the Japanese, it will be a disaster.

Second, Japanese soldiers can be killed, but ordinary Japanese expatriates cannot be killed. We, the Eighth Route Army, are different from the Japanese beasts and cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately.

After saying this, Chen Yan looked sharp and said, “If anyone crosses the line, be careful or I will come back to settle the score with him.”

Then Chen Yan talked about the background of the battle.

"A month ago, with the help of underground party comrades in the county, Gouwazi had successfully infiltrated with 30 people.

In other words, the plate is already ready and waiting for us to take it.

"As for the task of stealing houses in the city, in addition to Gouwazi's 30 men, I plan to lurk another 100 men in there."

At this time, Chen Yan stared at Li San and said, "Find some experienced people from your special operations camp who are more skilled in hand work."

"Brother, you can rest assured. The old man from Heiyun Village may not be able to do other things, but he is very good at sneaking into people's homes, picking locks, smashing and looting, and intimidating people."

At this moment, Chen Yan's old face turned red.

Damn it! How could this guy make such a vulgar statement about something so important?

However, Chen Yan did not hesitate and continued:

"In addition, there are three artillery towers closest to Ping'an County, each about 3 kilometers away. In order to complete the mission with greater certainty, I plan to divide my troops into three groups and make some noise at these three artillery towers to attract the attention of the Japanese troops in Ping'an County.

Troops outside the city, please pay attention, your mission is to contain the enemy's forces, not to show off your skills. If anyone gets itchy and wants to destroy a turret, I will never forgive him."

"Hahaha...".

“Now that I have introduced the battle background, I will assign tasks and division of labor.

Step 1: At 2 o'clock in the morning, led by Li San, the troops inside the city took the lead and started actions simultaneously in three directions against Mitsui Bank, East Asia Trading Company and Japanese Army Hospital.

After setting the target, everyone first cut off communications and controlled personnel, and then began to empty their pockets, taking whatever was most expensive.

The entire operation only gives us 30 minutes, and no matter whether we succeed or not, we must retreat by :."

Step 8: After the various groups succeeded, they sent the property to No. Dongming Hutong, which was our underground liaison station, and all the property was handed over to underground party comrades for storage.

Step 2: At 40:, Lao Zhao and Lao Li were responsible for launching a battle against the three artillery towers outside the city to attract the enemy's attention. The people in the city took the opportunity when the Japanese soldiers went out of the city to provide support, disguised themselves, and sneaked out of the city.

"Everyone must remember one thing, this time the mission is to make money! Make money! Make more money!

Don't cause trouble for me, do you understand me?"

At this time, everyone in the room stood up and said in unison: "Understood."

After hearing Chen Yan's battle arrangements, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were completely relieved.

After everyone left one after another, the two of them came up.

Li Yunlong showed his cunning peasant smile again:

"I tell you, tell me honestly, when did you plan to attack Ping'an County? You seem to be well prepared."

Chen Yan glanced at him and said, "It's been about three months.

Do you think it’s easy to be the head of the family? The brigade depends on me for everything, including food, drink, and toileting.”

"You really are a bandit. When you run out of money, the first thing you think of is to rob!

You seem to be quite knowledgeable when talking about robbery."

"Old Li, stop being so sarcastic, otherwise you can be the brigade commander."

.......

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a man wearing a top hat, a long jacket and a walking stick appeared in front of the gate of No. 8 Dongming Hutong, Ping'an County with two followers.
