Day 3.

In the morning.

Chu Yunfei took his guard platoon, plus Fang Ligong and his party along the horse road, and came to a pass only more than ten miles away from the independent regiment, which was already a safe area, so Chu Yunfei gathered his guard platoon, and the group was on foot, and the horses were led, because there were not enough horses if everyone rode horses.

"Ahead is the pick-up point of the independent regiment."

Said one of the soldiers who accompanied him.

"Let's go."

Chu Yunfei took the lead in walking towards the pass, and the rest of the people hurriedly followed.

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

Gone are the potholed and winding horse paths, replaced by a smooth dirt road, the road is very new, and you can see the traces of stone crushing, indicating that it has just been built.

As far as the eye can see, the road stretches straight in the direction of the independent regiment in the distance, and there is a 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 roads, building roads, and even using a lot of manpower.

But how long has it been?

It will take up to fifteen days to start building the road.

This is about a dozen kilometers away from the station of the Independence Regiment, and in such a short time, it was built so far?

And...

Chu Yunfei looked at the road in the other direction, he naturally knew that this was the direction leading to the other Eighth Route Army base area, it should be called the New Second Regiment, and the regiment commander was called Kong Jie.

And this highway is still not in sight.

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

Fang Ligong couldn't help but mumble to himself.

Although the road in front of us is not wide, it can only accommodate one car to pass, the roadbed is not solid, and it is easy to collapse over time, but it is still a highway, which can greatly enhance the transportation speed, as well as the speed of the troops, and also increase the transportation capacity of materials.

"I don't know."

Chu Yunfei's tone was solemn:

"However, it is estimated that it will not be less than 10,000 people."

Mobilizing manpower is not a problem, there are enough people here.

The problem is that each other has given a minimum of six to ten catties of food per day, which is the most unimaginable thing, and it will take at least 10,000 people to build such a long road in such a short time, even if it is expanded by horse roads, so the food and materials spent for it.

Chu Yunfei had investigated, and all the people who went to the independent regiment to repair the road, whether it was a day or three days, gave a sufficient amount of food without any deductions.

"Do they have so much supplies?"

Fang Ligong muttered to himself.

"Is it the head of the Chu Regiment of the 358th Regiment of the Jingjin Sui Army?"

At this time, several soldiers of the Independent Regiment on horseback came in the distance.

"Exactly down there."

Chu Yunfei regained his composure and replied.

"We are fighters of the guard platoon of the Independent Regiment, and we are responsible for receiving your army here."

The squad leader who came to meet him gave a military salute, and then said:

"Commander Chu can wait here, and the political commissar of my regiment Zhao will come to pick you up soon."

"Pick me up?"

Chu Yunfei was a little flustered for a while.

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

After all, in terms of unified establishment, the 358th Regiment is a regular army, and the government has an establishment, while the Independent Regiment is only a local unit, but in wartime, it is based on strength, not establishment.

In terms of strength, the two sides are completely equal, he came to visit the independent regiment, Li Yunlong only needed to send a few ordinary soldiers to respond, and there was 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 will not be able to return until a week later."

Said the warrior who came to meet him.

"Okay."

When Chu Yunfei heard the news, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although they didn't meet many times, Chu Yunfei knew very well that this Li Yunlong's unstinting personality was very troublesome and a headache to get along with, and it was better without him, Zhao Gang, as a college student, spoke appropriately and got along very well.

Anyway, he came to inspect the strength of the independent regiment this time, and 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, and after a while, Chu Yunfei, who had been looking in the direction of the independent regiment, found that at the end of the road, a small truck appeared, and then immediately after, several small trucks appeared one after another, and finally, five small trucks appeared in Chu Yunfei's eyes.

The Independent Regiment actually has a truck...

He couldn't help but pick up the binoculars and look at them.

In the co-pilot position of the car at the front, it was Zhao Gang and Zhao Political Commissar of the Independent Regiment, and suddenly, this made Chu Yunfei realize that something was wrong with the situation, this Zhao Gang came to pick him up, I'm afraid it would ·····

In addition, the independent regiment can get trucks, and the energy consumption costs such a huge amount of resources to build roads, then...

Chu Yunfei's face became more and more solemn while his face was shocked.

The regiment commander could still think normally, as for the other soldiers of the Jin Sui Army, including Fang Ligong, they were already stunned.

Eighth Route Army, there are trucks?

Moreover, it looks like 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 soared all the way, and soon came to Chu Yunfei.

At this moment, looking at the shock and solemnity on Chu Yunfei's face, as well as the horror of the rest of the Jin Sui Army soldiers, Zhao Gang initially realized the taste of the showmanship—it was indeed a little energetic.

It's kind of interesting...

"Brother Zhao."

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

He found that on the body behind each pickup truck, there was a heavy machine gun pointed straight into the sky, and the thick bullets were exposed from the outside of the receiver, and at a glance, Chu Yunfei could see that this was the American M2 heavy machine gun.

Their government applied for this machine gun many times and wanted it, but the United States never gave it because it wanted to give priority to the supply of European theaters...

Where did the Separate Regiment go?

Could it be that the power that provided the equipment for the independent regiment was American?

This truck, it seems, is also an American truck.

"Captain Chu, get in the car."

Looking at Chu Yunfei's more and more solemn complexion, Zhao Gang felt that he was in a more and more happy mood, and the tiredness accumulated in the past few days from being busy until midnight seemed to be swept away, and his spirit was very uplifted:

"Let's go back to the group."

"It's not safe here, and if the devil plane comes, it'll be in trouble."

"Okay."

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

His platoon of guards, including Fang Ligong, also entered the back seats of the rest of the Dodge Jeeps one after another, leaving only some of them on horseback.

Five Dodge Jeeps started up, turned around a wide section of road, and headed for Zhao Jiayu at high speed.

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

People dig, pick up soil, fill in... Everything was in order.

This section of the road is three kilometers long, and about 3,000 people are building it... Chu Yunfei calculated in his heart, and then his gaze extended, his expression became more and more solemn, and he saw that more road repair teams could be seen not far away.

Even, the bridge is still being built.

"Brother Zhao."

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

"If your regiment builds a road, you won't be afraid of the Japanese army..."

After the shock of the first sight disappeared, Chu Yunfei found a problem, the independent regiment built roads with such fanfare, is it not afraid of the future, the army of devils is coming, with the help of these roads?

There are devils on the road, and the strength will go up by three points.
