You are ordered to support the War of Resistance against Japan; China enters Level 1 combat readines

brigadier?

The brigade commander mentioned by the deputy general was naturally the 386th Brigade.

After some thought, the leaders agreed that sending a brigade commander was indeed the most suitable and reliable option at the moment.

In terms of geographical location, the Independent Regiment is within the defense zone of the 386th Brigade, so the brigade commander's trip there is perfectly legitimate and there is plenty of time.

In terms of status and weight, the brigade commander, as the military commander of the main brigade, is sufficient to represent both the division and brigade levels.

It can even reflect the will of headquarters to a certain extent.

Don't forget, the reason a brigade commander is a brigade commander is because the Eighth Route Army only has three divisions in total!

"I think it's a good idea!"

"Okay!"

"He'll be the brigade commander!"

The executives all nodded in agreement, unanimously approving the decision.

The order was quickly transmitted to the headquarters of the 386th Brigade via radio waves.

When the brigade commander received this order, along with a brief explanation of the situation, even this seasoned veteran couldn't help but gasp in shock!

"That kid Li Yunlong... he almost really caused a huge disaster this time!"

The brigade commander adjusted his glasses, repeatedly looking at the words "captured eighteen strongholds in succession," "killed and captured more than two thousand," and "zero casualties" on the telegram, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Li Yunlong, you fought a brilliant battle!

But the brigade commander also knew Li Yunlong well. He knew that it was impossible for him and a cavalry company alone to create such an incredible record!

The core and key to all of this undoubtedly points to the mysterious "Mr. Shen"!

"Incredible... truly an extraordinary person!"

The brigade commander instantly realized the unparalleled importance of this matter.

No wonder headquarters sent such an order.

Without any hesitation, the brigade commander assigned all his tasks and, with the necessary guards, rode at full speed to the Independent Regiment's garrison.

The brigade commander arrived that evening.

He immediately summoned Xing, the deputy regimental commander, Zhang Dabiao, the second battalion commander, and other key members of the independent regiment who were in charge of the work at the time.

At the same time, he also gave a brief explanation of the orders from headquarters to the group.

This time, Zhang Dabiao, the second battalion commander, and others were blown up.

"What? The regimental commander... he led his cavalry company and wiped out eighteen Japanese strongholds in one afternoon?"

"My God! ...and zero casualties?"

"More than two thousand Japanese and puppet troops... that's almost the result of a major battle we fought..."

"Our Independent Regiment has really met a benefactor!"

Shock, ecstasy, disbelief...

Let alone eighteen strongholds, even if their entire independent regiment attacked together and managed to capture just one stronghold at a very low cost, it would still be a great victory!

The brigade commander waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Therefore, the headquarters leadership attaches great importance to this! They have ordered us to welcome our hero home with the highest honors!"

"Your Independent Regiment, get to work immediately! Make the scene lively and bright! Let Mr. Shen feel the utmost enthusiasm and sincerity of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Yes, Commander! Mission accomplished!"

Deputy Regiment Commander Xing and the others responded enthusiastically, their faces flushed with excitement.

The entire independent regiment immediately mobilized overnight to clean up, post slogans, and organize a welcoming procession.

Even more unusually, the cooks slaughtered a whole pig that was meant to be eaten during the Spring Festival.

That night, the entire Independent Regiment was in an uproar!

Eighteen strongholds!

All the soldiers of the Independent Regiment felt honored!

. . .

The next day, the sun was almost at its zenith.

As the soldiers of the Independent Regiment eagerly awaited their arrival, the column finally appeared on the horizon.

The first thing that catches the eye is the 99A tank, which looks like a mobile fortress!

Its massive size and cold, steely texture instantly caused a huge sensation and gasps of surprise!

Immediately following behind was a spirited cavalry company equipped with brand-new Type 56 assault rifles.

Li Yunlong, mounted on his horse, looked at the dense crowd of people welcoming them and the bright red banners at the village entrance, feeling somewhat bewildered.

"What's going on? Why all this fuss? I was only gone for a few days..."

However, when he saw the familiar figure at the front of the crowd, wearing glasses and standing tall, Old Li instantly understood!

He quickly dismounted and trotted over, exclaiming, "Brigadier! What brings you here?"

To everyone's surprise, the brigade commander seemed not to have seen him or heard him at all.

He even reached out and nudged Li Yunlong, telling him not to block the way.

Then, the brigade commander walked straight past Li Yunlong and strode towards the 99A.

Li Yunlong awkwardly lowered his hand, rubbing his nose: "Well, old Li's become a shrew..."

At that moment, inside the 99A tank, when Shen Wang saw the bespectacled, distinguished commander, his heart skipped a beat.

Holy crap!

What brings you here!

"Little Sand, stop the car!" Shen Wang hurriedly ordered.

Without hesitation, he pushed open the hatch and jumped out of the tank with a deft gait.

That's a brigade commander, damn it!

We must respect this!

Zhao Gang, who was standing next to him, was very perceptive and immediately understood who the brigade commander had come for.

He and Li Yunlong combined probably aren't worth the brigade commander personally waiting here.

Zhao Gang quickly stepped forward to introduce the two parties:

"Brigade Commander! This is the man I reported to you about, our savior, Mr. Shen Mingyuan!"

"Mr. Shen, this is the brigade commander of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of our Eighth Route Army!"

The brigade commander looked at the handsome young man with clear eyes and secretly admired him.

He reached out and grasped Shen Wang's hands tightly, shaking them vigorously.

"Mr. Shen! I've long admired your name! It's legendary! I've been eagerly anticipating meeting you, my great hero!"

"Thank you! On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the 386th Brigade, I thank you for your righteous act of saving our comrade! You've worked so hard!"

Shen Wang shook hands firmly in return, saying sincerely, "Brigadier, you're too kind! You are truly a pillar of the nation!"

"I, Shen, have only done my humble best; I am utterly unworthy of such praise!"

The two held hands tightly, their eyes met, and everything was understood without words.

Then, the brigade commander solemnly shook hands with Ding Zhijian, Meng Guanglin, and Sha Zhenjiang one by one, expressing his warm greetings and welcome.

At this moment, a prompt finally sounded in Shen Wang's mind:

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission! You have been granted a Gold-level 10-pull (guaranteed SSR)]

Shen Wang smiled.

After four days and three nights, we finally completed this mission!

Finally, the brigade commander's gaze fell back on Li Yunlong, who had been scratching his head and waiting for a long time.

Seeing that it was finally his turn, Li Yunlong immediately puffed out his chest, grinned, and prepared to brag to the brigade commander.

However, before he could even speak, the brigade commander's warm smile vanished instantly, replaced by a half-smile that sent chills down his spine.

Then he slowly began to speak, and that classic tone instantly sent a chill down Li Yunlong's spine:

"Li Yunlong, congratulations on your fortune!"
