Bright Sword: I Build My Forces Alone, and You Bring Back a U.S.-Equipped Division

In 1942, during the Japanese army’s first major sweep, the Independent Regiment suffered heavy losses.

To preserve the revolutionary cause, Li Yunlong broke the entire regiment into small units and sent them off to develop independently.

Three months later, the whole regiment regrouped:

First Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao: My battalion isn’t very big, just over a thousand men, plus a few heavy and light machine guns.

Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan: My battalion has only a little over nine hundred men, plus a few Italian cannons.

Third Battalion Commander Wang Huaibao: I can’t compare with you. I don’t have any decent weapons, just a few thousand men.

Just as everyone was congratulating themselves, an armored division appeared before them,

with a tank battalion, a cavalry battalion, an artillery regiment, a special forces unit...

Zhu Hongzhen sighed: I didn’t do that well either. It’s all just stuff that’s not worth mentioning...
