Rise from the sword

Chapter 414 is so interesting!

Day three.

in the morning.

Chu Yunfei led his guard platoon, plus Fang Ligong and his party along the horse path, to a pass that was only more than ten miles away from the independent regiment. This was already a safe zone, so Chu Yunfei sent his guard platoon all Assembled, a group of people walked, and the horses were led, because there were not enough horses for everyone to ride.

"The front is the pick-up location for the independent regiment."

Said one of the accompanying soldiers.

"Walk."

Chu Yunfei walked towards the pass first, and the others quickly followed.

Walking out of the pass, everyone was stunned by the situation in front of them.

The original bumpy and winding road was gone, replaced by a flat dirt road. The road was very new, and traces of stone rolling could be seen, indicating that it had just been built.

Looking around, the road stretches straight to the direction of the Independence Regiment in the distance, and there is another road that extends to the other side. .

"This···"

The situation in front of them made Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong stunned at the same time.

They knew that the Independent Regiment was widening the horse trails, building roads, and even using a lot of manpower.

But how long has it been?
Let's start building roads for fifteen days at the most.

It is about ten kilometers away from the Independence Regiment's base. How far has it been built in such a short period of time?

and···
Chu Yunfei looked at the road in the other direction. He naturally knew that this was the direction leading to another base of the Eighth Route Army. It should be called the New Second Regiment, and the head of the regiment was Kong Jie.

And this road is still invisible at a glance.

"How many people did they use to build the road?"

Fang Ligong couldn't help muttering to himself.

Although the road in front of me is not wide enough to accommodate only one car, and the roadbed is not solid, pits are prone to collapse after a long time, but it is still a road, which can greatly increase the speed of transportation and the marching speed of troops. Increase material transportation capacity.

"do not know."

Chu Yunfei spoke solemnly:
"However, it is estimated that it will not be less than 1 people."

It is not a problem to mobilize manpower, there are enough people here.

The problem is that everyone on the other side gave at least six to ten catties of grain per day. This is the most unimaginable thing. To build such a long road in such a short period of time, even if it is expanded by horse roads, at least 1 people are needed. Then the food supplies spent for this.

Chu Yunfei had investigated, and all the people who went to the independent group to build roads, whether it was one day or three days, were given a sufficient amount of food without any deductions.

"Are they so rich in supplies?"

Fang Ligong muttered to himself.

"Is it Commander Chu of the [-]th Regiment of the Jingjin Sui Army?"

At this moment, several independent regiment soldiers on horseback came from a distance.

"It's down."

Chu Yunfei regained his composure and replied.

"We are soldiers of the independent regiment's guard platoon, and we are responsible for meeting your army here."

The squad leader who came to meet him paid a military salute, and then said:
"Leader Chu can wait here, and political commissar Zhao of our regiment will come to pick you up soon."

"pick me up?"

Chu Yunfei was a little taken aback for a while.

Zhao Gang was coming to pick him up, which was a bit unexpected.

Nominally, his [-]th Regiment is higher than the Independent Regiment. After all, in terms of unified organization, the [-]th Regiment is a regular army with a national government organization, while the Independent Regiment is just a local army. It is strength, not establishment.

In terms of strength, the two sides are completely equal. When he comes to visit the independent group, Li Yunlong only needs to send a few ordinary soldiers to meet him, and there is no need to send a political commissar to meet him.

So, what is this Zhao Gang here for?

"Our political commissar also asked me to inform you that our head Li is out and won't be back until a week later."

Said the soldier who came to meet him.

"Ok."

Chu Yunfei was relieved when he heard the news.

Although he didn't meet many times, Chu Yunfei knew very well that Li Yunlong's unscrupulous personality made getting along very troublesome and a headache. It would be better without him. As a college student, Zhao Gang speaks well and is easy to get along with.

Anyway, he is here to inspect the strength of the independent group this time, so it doesn't matter if there is Li Yunlong or not.

However, he still didn't quite understand, why did Zhao Gang come to pick him up in person?
Everyone waited in place for a few minutes. After a while, Chu Yunfei, who had been looking towards the direction of the independent regiment, found a small truck appeared at the end of the road, and then several other small trucks appeared one after another. Finally, enough Five small trucks appeared in Chu Yunfei's eyes.

The independent group actually has a truck...
He couldn't help picking up the binoculars and looking.

The co-pilot of the front car was Zhao Gang, Political Commissar Zhao of the Independence Regiment. Suddenly, this made Chu Yunfei realize that something was wrong. Zhao Gang came to pick him up, I'm afraid...

In addition, the independent regiment can get trucks and spend such a huge amount of resources to build roads, so...
Chu Yunfei's expression became more solemn in addition to being horrified.

The head of the regiment can still think normally, as for the other soldiers of the Jinsui Army, including Fang Ligong, they are already stunned.

The Eighth Route Army actually has trucks?
Moreover, it seems that the quality is not bad, and the speed is very fast.

"Captain Chu."

On the flat and newly built dirt road, the empty Dodge Jeep raced all the way, and soon came to Chu Yunfei.

At this moment, seeing the shock and solemnity on Chu Yunfei's face, and the horror of the rest of the Jinsui Army soldiers, Zhao Gang initially felt the taste of showing off—it was indeed so exciting.

interesting···

"Brother Zhao."

Although he tried his best to control his expression, Chu Yunfei's expression became more solemn at this moment.

He found that on the back of each small truck, there was a heavy machine gun pointing directly at the sky, with thick bullets protruding from the receiver. With just one glance, Chu Yunfei could tell that it was an American M2 heavy machine gun.

Their government has applied for this machine gun many times and wants it, but the United States has never given it to them because they need to give priority to supplying the European battlefield...

Where did the independent group get it?
Could it be that the force that provided equipment to the Independence Regiment belonged to the United States?

This truck seems to be an American truck.

"Captain Chu, get in the car."

Looking at Chu Yunfei's more and more dignified expression, Zhao Gang felt that he was in a happier mood. The exhaustion accumulated in the past few days until midnight seemed to be swept away, and he was very energetic:
"Let's go back to the group and talk."

"It's not safe here. If a ghost plane comes over, it will be troublesome."

"it is good."

Chu Yunfei nodded and walked into the jeep where Zhao Gang was.

His guard platoon, including Fang Ligong, also entered the back seats of the rest of the Dodge Jeep one after another, leaving only some of them on horses.

Five big Dodge jeeps started, turned on a wide road, and then drove towards Zhaojiayu at high speed.

After about five miles, passing through a section of winding mountain road, Chu Yunfei saw a dense crowd building a road in the distance, and the crowd spread like ants moving along the gradually formed road. The scene was very spectacular.

People are digging, picking soil, packing... everything is in order.

This section of the road is three kilometers long, and about 3000 people are building the road... Chu Yunfei calculated in his mind, and then his eyes stretched out, his expression became more serious, and he saw more road construction teams not far away.

Even, bridges are still being built.

"Brother Zhao."

Taking a deep breath, Chu Yunfei finally controlled the shock in his heart, pointed to the crowd who were building a road in the distance, and said:

"If you build roads, you won't be afraid of the Japanese army..."

After the initial shock disappeared, Chu Yunfei discovered the problem. The independent group built roads with such fanfare, so they are not afraid of the future, and the army of devils will attack, using these roads?
Devils with roads will increase their strength by three points.
