Chapter 56 Meeting with Ding Wei "Captain Ding, Captain Ding!" In the wilderness, Ding Wei glanced at the puppet cavalry going away, and then looked at the Eighth Route Army soldiers riding horses and rushing towards him. "I bet there's been a change of plans." Looking at the Eighth Route Army soldiers rushing over, Ding Wei spoke to the guard beside him. "Captain Ding, the head of the headquarters wants you to go to the headquarters." After notifying the soldier of what he had said, Ding Wei nodded: "Did something happen?" As soon as Ding Wei finished speaking, the puppet cavalry that had just escaped rushed towards them again. And from behind came the rumbling sound of horse hooves. "Oh no! A large force of puppet troops!" Ding Wei, who had seen the Japanese cavalry regiment in Yizhong, quickly recognized that the sound was the sound of a large group of horses galloping.

He immediately prepared to retreat with the other two soldiers. "boom!" Gunshots rang out and a puppet soldier fell to the ground. "Captain, it seems that the people behind us are not cavalry from the puppet army." "It's the Eighth Route Army, our cavalry!" "No, we don't have any cavalry here!" The communicator from the headquarters said quickly: "Captain Ding, let's go quickly!" "Let's go? How?" "At such a long distance, the puppet soldiers were knocked down with one shot, and their horses are faster than ours!" Ding Wei pointed at a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers who rushed forward and used sabers to chop down the puppet soldiers to the ground and spoke. The team of Eighth Route Army soldiers also discovered Ding Wei and his two companions, and they all stood in place, turning around and looking at Ding Wei and his companions. Ding Wei was the first to ask, "What part of the Eighth Route Army are you from?" A soldier rode forward and answered. "From the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army!" "The New First Regiment? Li Yunlong's regiment?" "Do you know our leader?" "Of course I know. When did the new regiment have cavalry?" “There are still so many people?” "Which part are you from? Why are you asking so many questions?"

"How can you find out military secrets?" When Ding Wei heard this, he laughed out loud and took out his ID and was about to hand it to the other party. The Eighth Route Army soldier looked at the certificate handed over and waved his hand. "I can't read." "Hey!" "Captain, they still have people!" I saw a group of men in blue-gray military uniforms slowly appearing on the distant horizon. The man in the lead was riding a warhorse that was larger than the others. Not only are horses bigger than other horses, but people are also bigger than other people. From time to time, a small group of cavalry would come from a distance to report the situation to the other side. If it were in ancient times, if the leader wore armor, he would be a match for thousands of enemies. "Battalion Commander, we caught a few guys wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms here." "No, we are the Eighth Route Army." "What do you mean by a guy wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, young comrade? Explain it more clearly." Qin Yangming naturally saw the three people who were surrounded, and rode forward to look them over. The old guy Yamamoto was always thinking about taking over the Eighth Route Army headquarters, and he was also wondering if these people were spies. Ding Wei and his companions were so frightened that they didn't even dare to say a word. It was fine if he was far away, but once he got closer, Qin Yangming's huge body and the hideous scars on his face were so huge that it would be an understatement to say that he could stop a baby from crying. Ding Wei thought that his body was pretty good, but when he compared himself with Qin Yangming, the other man's fist was thicker than his neck. As for the other person's neck, it was almost as thick as his head! Even the warhorse under him was shaking its body in fear. "Is it Captain Qin of the Vanguard Battalion?" Before Qin Yangming could ask, the correspondent at the headquarters took the lead and called out his identity. "you are?" "Captain Qin, I'm the headquarters' correspondent. This is Captain Ding. I've been ordered to take Captain Ding to report to the headquarters." "Oh? In that case, let's go together." When Qin Yangming heard the other party say that he was going to the headquarters, he had no way of confirming the other party's identity. Even if the three men were from Yamamoto's special forces, they couldn't cause any waves in his hands. "Strange, why does this guy look familiar?"

Qin Yangming glanced at Ding Wei and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. "Forget it, we'll know the identities of these three guys when we get to the headquarters." It wasn't just Qin Yangming who was looking at Ding Wei. Ding Wei was also looking at Qin Yangming. Seeing the luxurious equipment of Qin Yangming and others, Ding Wei couldn't help but ask: "Little brother, are the equipments of your new regiment the same as yours?" Goudan, who was acting as Qin Yangming's messenger, shook his head. "How is that possible? Only our Vanguard Battalion has such good equipment." As Goudan spoke, he patted the submachine gun on his chest. His tone was full of pride and his face was full of pride. "Oh my God, did your captain Li Yunlong give it to you?" "It wasn't given by the regiment commander. It was the equipment our battalion commander brought us." "Moreover, most of the equipment in the regiment was snatched from the Japanese by our Vanguard Battalion." "Do you know our group leader Li Yunlong?" Hearing the other party mention Li Yunlong, Qin Yangming instantly thought of the person in front of him, Ding Wei, the last member of the Northwest Shanxi Iron Triangle to appear. “Well, my name is Ding Wei, and I’m the commander of the 28th Regiment of the Yizhong Military Region. Your commander’s old comrade.” "I was planning to go see him, but I was in a hurry, so I didn't go." "I heard that your New 1st Regiment defeated the Sakata Unit this time?" "It's the Sakata Brigade, not the Sakata Regiment." Goudan on the side corrected. Because the Sakata Brigade was defeated by the Shinichi Regiment just after it was formed, its organization was directly disbanded and the remaining soldiers were all transferred to the 4th Brigade. Therefore, many people don’t even know that the Sakata Regiment became the Sakata Brigade. "I'm sorry, I'm so disrespectful. I didn't know it was Captain Ding in person." After confirming that the other party was Ding Wei, Qin Yangming's tone became polite. He had to be polite, as this person would soon be his immediate superior. If he offended him, his life would become difficult. Ding Wei's appearance means that Li Yunlong will soon go to embroider. I guess after I go back, Li Yunlong will have to go to the clothing factory to embroider. I don't know how long it will take before he can go to the independent regiment. Ding Wei looked at Qin Yangming enviously and said, "It's okay, it's okay. If it were me, I would also wonder if it was the Japanese who sent people to pretend to be the Eighth Route Army. Hey, little brother, how do you train your body? How come you are so strong? How old are you this year? " "It's a natural ability for me. I can't train it. I just turned 20 this year."

"Just turned twenty? How long have you been in the army?" "It should be thirteen." "Thirteen months? You're not bad, little brother. You've made it to the position of battalion commander so quickly. I believe it won't be long before you can be on par with me." "Thirteen years." "What the hell? Thirteen years? "Little brother, are you framing me?" "You joined the army when you were seven?" Ding Wei originally wanted to say that even if they were to conscript men, they would not capture a seven-year-old boy like you, and then he suddenly thought of the time when our army was founded. "You joined the Red Army when you were seven?!" "Hehe, you didn't expect that our battalion commander is a veteran who has participated in the Long March." "Comrade, which front are you from?" "I've been in almost all of them. I was in the Red Army Fourth Regiment during the Long March." "Oh, it seems we are still old comrades." "When your regiment commander was on the Long March, he even carried a big pot in the kitchen..." "Yeah, I know that. At that time, he and I shared the blame." "He was a bad boy at that time. When it was hailstorming, he lied to me and said it wouldn't hurt if it hit my head. Then he was lying on the ground with the pot on his back." "Hahaha, I think so too. He is quite evil." With a common topic, the relationship between the few people quickly became closer. Ding Wei also asked Qin Yangming and his team what their mission was. When he heard that a batch of mechanical equipment had been seized, Ding Wei was also happy and hurried to the back to see the mechanical equipment. "Well, with these devices, our arsenal can finally produce some good things." "Finally, we won't be called the headquarters repair shop anymore. When we encounter materials during battles in the future, we don't have to find a place to throw them away. We can use them instead." Ding Wei looked at the equipment and said with some emotion. There was a severe shortage of weapons in the Yi Zhong Military Region, and most of the soldiers didn't even have a decent gun. We need support from headquarters from time to time and cannot even be self-sufficient. Life is hard. (End of this chapter)
