Chapter 41
The Brigade Commander's Evaluation of Su Yang! New Recruit Combat Training

.

Is this Su Yang?

Chen, the Brigade Commander, was also shocked by Su Yang's deeds.

He had been through many storms and hardships, and Su Yang's exploits were almost like a small legend.

Is this really a new recruit?

This made Chen, who had worked in the Special Intelligence Section, feel a bit suspicious.

After all, he was too outstanding!

Or, his abilities were too strong.

Either he was like Zhang Liang said, with strong learning ability, growing rapidly.

Or he was an undercover, trying to infiltrate our army.

But from killing Japanese devils and handing in materials, he was almost certainly friendly.

And if he wanted to infiltrate, why did the 772nd Regiment want to transfer him to the 772nd Regiment but he refused, instead staying in the county detachment?

The reason for staying in the county detachment was quite convincing.

If that were the case, Su Yang was a man of loyalty, with strong learning ability, a worthwhile target for cultivation.

"Based on the reports, this Su Yang is indeed a talented individual!"

Hearing the brigade commander's affirmation, Zhang Liang's face also beamed with a smile.

"This is the most outstanding new recruit I've ever met, I feel inferior!"

"Initially, I also had some doubts about Su Yang, but from all aspects, Comrade Su Yang is indeed a new recruit, just growing faster than many others."

"Furthermore, he has strong learning ability, high awareness, and is educated..."

Chen, the Brigade Commander, listened to Zhang Liang's praise for Su Yang, and he also kept Su Yang in mind.

However, being cautious, he did not make any decisions but silently observed him.

"I understand."

"Regarding the munitions workshop, I will arrange for someone to handle it. Now that the Japanese and puppet troops have strengthened their blockade and sweeps are frequent, it's better to leave it there for now."

"Since Comrade Su Yang has laid the foundation there, your county detachment can consider going there to develop."

"On the one hand, you can achieve rapid development, and on the other hand, you can strengthen your defense capabilities, better protect the munitions equipment."

"For Su Yang's performance, the organization will give him a commendation, you can raise any needs you may have."

Zhang Liang nodded slightly: "I will discuss this with the county committee after I return."

"As for needs, when the third company eliminated the Black Dragon Society, they captured some weapons, I just hope the Brigade Commander can agree to let us distribute them autonomously, as a form of commendation."

Chen, the Brigade Commander, did not hesitate and readily agreed.

"This time your county detachment handed in a field gun, along with several boxes of shells and a heavy machine gun, well done!"

"Considering the difficulty of your county detachment's development, then keep them!"

"During this period, protect those munitions equipment well, when conditions are ripe, hand them in, gather production, and maximize their advantages."

Zhang Liang saluted, said in a cheerful tone: "Thank you, Brigade Commander!"

"I guarantee to complete the mission!"

Chen, the Brigade Commander, returned the salute, smiled: "Go then!"

"Yes!"

After Zhang Liang left, Chen, the Brigade Commander, immediately had someone call for Regiment Commander Cheng and instructed him to investigate and review Su Yang.

After all, the Brigade Commander also valued such talents.

"Brigade Commander, don't worry, I've already had the Political Commissar handle it before coming here."

Hearing this, Chen, the Brigade Commander, nodded approvingly.

"Well done, you're making progress!"

"Let me know as soon as you have news!"

"Yes!"

Regiment Commander Cheng, receiving the praise of the Brigade Commander, happily saluted, and left the Brigade Command Post with a satisfied grin.

Black Dragon Mountains.

Third Company Base Area.

At this time, in the hall, Shui Sheng and the others looked at Su Yang with puzzled expressions, not understanding why he was spending so much money to buy these things.

They were even more confused about what Su Yang had been doing all this time.

"Captain, these things have already cost us half of our funds, what are you trying to do?"

Su Yang glanced at the confused group, then explained: "Don't you think the power of this black powder is not very good?"

"While the Japanese and puppet troops' shells are so powerful, it's because they use different gunpowder."

"We can't be too far behind, we must get this thing sorted out."

Shui Sheng, Gou Sheng, Li San, and Yang Zhi Hua were all dumbfounded.

The Captain was actually researching gunpowder?

This..... refreshed their understanding.

Su Yang didn't bother to explain further and then instructed: "The team has been training for a while now, it's time for practical training."

"There are still quite a few bandit strongholds in this Black Dragon Mountains area, I'm giving you a mission, clear out these bandits."

"Leave a small team to take turns in charge of the base area's safety, two infantry squads plus an artillery squad are enough to deal with these bandits."

"Yang Zhi Hua, it's time to show your stuff."

"I only have one request for you, minimize casualties, especially pay attention to the training of the new recruits."

The four immediately perked up upon hearing this, they all said in unison: "Understood!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

This bandit eradication mission was both practical training for the new recruits and to increase the cooperation and coordination between the various squads.

Su Yang did not participate in the operation besides making the deployment.

After all, the strength of a team is greater than that of a single individual.

In the future, he will have more and more things to handle, cultivating subordinates is a necessity.

Su Yang has been doing this all along.

After making the arrangements, he left the rest to the various squad leaders to discuss.

Su Yang then began to set up the production line for smokeless powder.
