Due to the communication blockage, Chu Yunfei did not know at this moment that Shen Quan not only broke through the encirclement, but also killed Sakata Shengjie and the Japanese Fourth Brigade Major General Murakami Takamasa.
If he knew the news, he would definitely be even more excited.
One day later, Qinggang Village!
Chen Quan led the new regiment to set up camp in Qinggang Village after a five-hour long journey, taking a rest and resting to restore the strength of the troops.
The two battles at Cangyun Ridge and Guying Ridge caused heavy losses to the New Regiment, with only ninety-three men left, less than a company's strength.
As soon as nine o'clock arrived that morning, Shen Quan immediately went to the system to sign in.
"Sign in!"
"Ding, if you sign in successfully on August 6th, you will be rewarded with a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War!"
"Sun Tzu's Art of War: It was written by the ancient military strategist Sun Bin. The system has integrated Sun Tzu's Art of War into the host's mind, reaching a state of comprehensive understanding."
Although signing in today is not a very useful reward, having Sun Tzu's Art of War can give Shen Quan an advantage in future wars.
Before he could experience Sun Tzu's Art of War through his consciousness, the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao hurried in again: "Commander, the brigade headquarters is calling!"
The phone number of the brigade headquarters?
Shen Quan couldn't help but be stunned. Could it be that he had caused trouble and the brigade headquarters knew about it?
Or is it that the news that he killed Murakami Takamasa reached the brigade headquarters so quickly?
"Let's go and listen to the brigade commander's new arrangements!" Holding his military cap, Shen Quan followed Zhang Dabiao to the phone room.
After clearing his throat, Shen Quan picked up the phone and said, "Boss, what are your orders?"
As a time traveler, Shen Quan knew that the commander of the 386th Brigade was the founding general mentioned in history books.
Now that he has traveled to the Anti-Japanese War era, Shen Quan couldn't be more excited to be able to make a phone call with such an important person.
"Chen Quan, your wings are stiff now. It took you so long to come over and answer the phone." The voice of the brigade commander was on the other end of the phone.
"Boss, I'm really unjust. I've had diarrhea for the past two days, and I was squatting in the toilet just now!" Shen Quan found an excuse and said, "Boss, what are your plans?"
The brigade commander said unkindly: "You are so awesome. In the battle at Cangyun Ridge, you made your reputation in northwest Shanxi. The reputation has almost surpassed that of Li Yunlong."
"Isn't this the brigade commander's teachings? Without the brigade commander's daily teachings, I, Shen Quan, would not be where I am today." When it comes to flattery, except for Li Yunlong, Shen Quan refuses to accept anyone.
"Stop blowing pig farts in front of me, I won't do this!" Although the voice of the brigade commander on the other end of the phone was scolding, there was some appreciation in his tone.
"I heard that your boy caught a pot of big fish in Lone Eagle Ridge, and that you beheaded Murakami Takamasa, the commander of the Japanese Fourth Brigade?"
Chen Quan chuckled: "Leader, this is just good luck. If you reward me for this, I will thank you first on behalf of Xinyi Tuan."
The brigade commander said: "Chen Quan, please stop playing tricks on me. I have already exempted you from disobeying orders on the battlefield. Do you still want a reward?"
"If you don't give it, I won't give it!" Shen Quan shouted aggrievedly.
The brigade commander on the other end of the phone immediately said seriously: "Commander Shen Quan of the new regiment, follow the order!"
"In view of your unit's heroic deeds at Guyingling, after reporting to the headquarters for approval, the new regiment will be awarded a third-class merit award once, and the regiment leader Shen Quan will be awarded a second-class merit award!"
Was he actually commended?
Shen Quan didn't expect the result to be like this at all, and was a little confused for a moment.
"No?" He only heard about meritorious service but not about any actual rewards. Shen Quan was a little reluctant: "Leader, the headquarters didn't give any rewards?"
"What do you want?" the brigade commander said angrily: "I don't know that everyone is poor recently. The new regiment does not belong to the national combat order. What do you want? Why don't you write a letter to my surnamed Jiang? ?”
"Brigadier, I'm just joking!" Shen Quan quickly smoothed things over, "But Brigadier, I won't give you weapons and equipment, but you have to give me some people. The new regiment doesn't have the strength of a company now. I am the bare commander." !”
