Chapter 163 The Brigade Commander was furious
The commander walked into the headquarters with Gundam.
"Congratulations, Gao boy."
"You are now the youngest column commander of the Eighth Route Army. Tell me honestly, how many people are under your command now?" the leader asked.
Gundam said with a smile.
"Commander, the county brigade doesn't have that many people right now, only a little over 1."
"Oh my goodness, no wonder your county brigade was able to wipe out the Japanese Fourth Brigade. You have more people than a division."
"I heard that your county brigade has its own arsenal. How did you set up the arsenal?"
When Gundam heard the chief asking about the arsenal, he thought for a moment and answered.
"Commander, this is what happened at the Arsenal, ......."
Gundam explained how the arsenal was established and its main personnel, but only briefly mentioned other important things.
After hearing Gundam's narration, everyone present began to envy Gundam's luck.
By robbing the Japanese train, we actually got a large number of machine tools and equipment. These are all good things. No wonder the county brigade has its own arsenal.
Everyone estimated that the arsenal must be quite large, otherwise it would not be able to provide so many weapons and ammunition.
The chief praised.
"Yes, the county brigade can develop to its current size thanks to your decision-making."
"Gundam, the central government has officially promoted your county brigade to an independent column. If you have any difficulties, you can raise them today and I will find a way to solve them for you."
Gundam was overjoyed when he heard the chief's words. This was exactly what he had been waiting for.
Gundam wove some words and spoke.
"Commander, the independent column has just been formed, and we need to continue to expand our forces. However, we are currently in great need of grassroots officers and commanders. I would like to ask the commander to transfer a group of people to my independent column."
The chief spoke upon hearing this.
"Gao, just tell me which people you want."
"Hey, Chief, I want to bring the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment over here." Gundam whispered.
At this time, the brigade commander who was watching the show at the back heard Gundam's words.
He immediately shouted, "Impossible, don't even think about giving Gundam to you. The New First Regiment and the Independent Regiment will never give it to you."
The brigade commander was almost furious, he didn't expect Gundam to target his two main regiments.
His 386th Brigade only has three regiments of troops in total. If Gundam poaches two regiments of troops, he will be left alone.
Damn Gundam, why did I say I had a bad feeling today? Turns out this guy was really after me.
Humph, it’s useless no matter what anyone says today.
I will never give the two regiments to Gundam.
After hearing what Gundam said, the chief felt a little embarrassed.
The 386th Brigade was the main force of the Eighth Route Army. If the New 386st Regiment and the Independent Regiment were given to the Independent Column, the th Brigade would be ruined.
"This? Hmm."
"Gao boy, your request is a bit too much." The leader said in embarrassment.
Gundam spoke up upon seeing this.
"Commander, I will discuss this matter with the brigade commander. If he agrees, you can transfer these two regiments to me."
The chief nodded slightly.
"Okay, if that's the case then you can go talk to him alone, I won't get involved."
Then, Gundam pulled the brigade commander out of the command center.
"Gundam, don't even think about it. I will never give you these two regiments."
"You little bastard, you actually tried to poach my people." The brigade commander cursed.
Gundam pulled the brigade commander under a tree.
"Brigade Commander, I don't have any other options. The independent column needs a large number of veterans and commanders, and I am familiar with Li Yunlong of the independent regiment."
"Like this? Commander, do you think this will work?"
"If you give me the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment, I will give you two regiments of new soldiers, equip them with a full set of German equipment, and give you an infantry artillery battalion."
The brigade commander's eyes widened when he heard Gundam's conditions.
I rely on.
This guy Gundam is really generous.
Two regiments of German equipment plus an artillery battalion, this is too good to be true.
What should I do? I am a little tempted.
If the 386th Brigade could have two German regiments, wouldn’t its combat effectiveness soar?
If I think about it this way, it seems like I have made a fortune.
No, we have to make this guy Gundam bleed more, otherwise it won’t be so easy to kill him next time.
The brigade commander cleared his throat twice.
"Gundam, these two main regiments are the strongest troops in my hands. If I give them to you, the combat effectiveness of my 386th Brigade will be crippled in a short period of time..."
As soon as Gundam heard what the brigade commander said, he understood.
The brigade commander wanted to take the opportunity to ask for a high price.
Gundam rolled his eyes and spoke.
"Commander, this is the greatest sincerity I can offer. If it still doesn't work, then I won't want it. I will ask other troops for people.
I don’t believe that other troops can refuse this great gift from me.”
After saying that, Gundam turned around and prepared to leave without any hesitation.
When the brigade commander saw Gundam preparing to leave, he immediately became anxious.
He knew very well that Gundam's condition could be exchanged for a large number of officers in any unit of the Eighth Route Army.
If Gundam stated this condition in the headquarters, all the troops would probably rush to send people to him.
Not everyone can resist the temptation of two regiments of German equipment, not to mention an artillery battalion.
He might not believe it if someone else said this, but he had to believe it when it came from Gundam's mouth because he knew how awesome Gundam's arsenal was.
"Gundam, wait a minute, don't leave yet."
The brigade commander quickly caught up with the Gundam.
"I agree to your terms. I will give you the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment, but I have one request. You must give me the new soldiers for the two additional regiments as soon as possible."
Gundam agreed immediately.
"No problem. I will get you the new soldiers for the two regiments within half a month. However, the equipment for the two German regiments will take a while. The arsenal will do its best to produce it."
The Brigadier nodded slightly, agreeing with Gundam's words.
The brigade commander became excited at the thought that the 386th Brigade would soon have two German-style regiments and an artillery battalion.
This wave is not a loss, I made a lot of money.
Afterwards, the two returned to the headquarters together.
The brigade commander reported to the chief.
"Commander, I agree to hand over the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment to the Independent Column."
"Oh, is that true? Are you willing to give these two regiments to the independent column? What benefits can this Gundam kid bring to you?" the leader asked curiously.
The brigade commander whispered quietly in front of the chief.
"Gundam promised to send me two regiments of new soldiers plus an artillery battalion."
The brigade commander did not disclose the German equipment of the two regiments, mainly because he was afraid that other troops would become jealous.
