Chapter 188: What The Hell Did That Bastard Do This Time
386 Brigade Headquarters
“Brigade Commander, I’ve done a preliminary tally of the ammunition that Li Yunlong brought back.”
A brigade staff officer walked up to the brigade commander and handed him a data list.
The brigade commander took it and looked, then laughed: “So much.”
Bullets and grenade launcher mortar shells aside, there were actually over five thousand rounds for the Type 92 Infantry Guns.
From this, it can be inferred that Li Yunlong’s side must have captured quite a few Type 92 Infantry Guns.
This bastard didn’t leave a single one behind, brought every single one to brigade headquarters, what a huge appetite, do you have that many artillerymen!
“Yeah.” The staff officer also laughed, “The Border Region Arsenal over there is now making bullets, and shells too. With our ammunition so plentiful now, we don’t even need to apply to the Border Region Arsenal.”
“Apply for what, we can’t even use it all ourselves.” The brigade commander said seriously, then waved his hand and said, “We’ll keep one-third of this ammunition for ourselves, send the rest to division headquarters.”
“Two-thirds to division headquarters?” The staff officer was stunned.
Even if we can’t use up all this ammunition, no need to give that much to division headquarters. Are we not fighting wars later?
“The grenade launcher mortars and Type 92 Infantry Guns in that dog Li Yunlong’s hands combined, I estimate there are plenty.” The brigade commander laughed and cursed as he said, “Think about it, Li Yunlong made such a huge haul, when he brings back all that artillery, the division commander won’t… you get it?”
“Yes, Brigade Commander.” The staff officer understood the brigade commander’s meaning.
Sending two-thirds of the ammunition over now is plugging the division commander’s mouth in advance.
Then, with the artillery, we can keep a bit more as appropriate.
After all, the Border Region Arsenal is now starting to produce conventional shells too. Once we use up the shells we have, are we worried about not getting new shells to replenish?
And another thing!
Once the Japanese Invaders launch a raid, division headquarters will definitely need a lot of ammunition support too.
As soon as the staff officer left, the deputy brigade commander hurried over: “Brigade Commander, Li Yunlong’s side is trapped in Heyuan County Town. They’ve tried to break out several times but haven’t gotten out.”
Li Yunlong is trapped?
The brigade commander didn’t believe it upon hearing, and immediately cursed: “Impossible. Just based on that dog Li Yunlong bringing so much ammunition back to brigade headquarters, he must have at least one or two hundred artillery pieces in hand. The Japanese Invaders can’t trap him!”
Forget the artillery Li Yunlong captured from the Japanese military train, even if it was just him, Ding Wei, and 772 Regiment’s three Hell Cannons, the Japanese Invaders couldn’t stop them.
“Brigade Commander, that’s what I think too.” The deputy brigade commander nodded in agreement, “But I can’t figure out why Li Yunlong deliberately got himself trapped in Heyuan County Town. Could it be he hasn’t found Sato Jino’s whereabouts and is turning over people there?”
“Even if Li Yunlong wants to turn over people, he wouldn’t do it like this.” The brigade commander shook his head, somewhat annoyed as he said, “From the looks of it, it’s probably that Li Yunlong isn’t having smooth success dealing with that little Japanese Invader Sato Jino.”
“Brigade Commander, what do we do?” The deputy brigade commander hesitated as he looked at the brigade commander, “Should we send someone out…”
“No need.” The brigade commander waved his hand directly to interrupt: “With Ding Wei there, no problem. Don’t send people randomly, lest we disturb that kid Li Yunlong’s plan.”
No need to think, that kid Li Yunlong deliberately trapping himself in Heyuan County Town definitely means he has a follow-up plan.
As long as Ding Wei is leading that stubborn donkey by the nose, the brigade commander isn’t worried about anything.
“What plan could Li Yunlong have?” The deputy brigade commander pondered.
“You know that kid, his brain turns faster than automobile wheels can chase. How would I know that dog’s plan.” The brigade commander cursed, “Forget it, let him mess around. I want to see just what he can mess up for me…”
Alright!
Before the brigade commander finished speaking, an intelligence officer hurried over, his tone extremely grave: “Brigade Commander, Brigade Commander, Brigade Commander, emergency situation.”
“What emergency situation?” Seeing the intelligence officer reporting like this, the brigade commander’s heart immediately tensed up.
Could it be that kid Li Yunlong really screwed up.
“The Jin Sui Army has dispatched a large force of troops charging toward Heyuan County Town.” The intelligence officer answered.
The Jin Sui Army is charging toward Heyuan County Town?
The brigade commander and deputy brigade commander were immediately dumbfounded by this intelligence.
What is the Jin Sui Army doing going to Heyuan County Town?
Although the Japanese Troops’ ammunition is low, the Jin Sui Army doesn’t need to dispatch a large force to openly charge over there.
They could completely fish in troubled waters behind enemy lines. Charging head-on to hard fight the Japanese Invaders like this is too unreasonable.
Even if the Japanese Invaders’ ammunition is low, they’re not paper tigers.
The deputy brigade commander asked the intelligence officer: “The Jin Sui Army really dispatched a large force?”
“Yes.” The intelligence officer nodded, his expression also stunned as he said, “These Jin Sui Army are friendly forces on the surface, but actually hoping we die on our own. With Regimental Commander Li and them trapped in Heyuan County Town, the Jin Sui Army dispatching a large force over, could it be they want to rescue Li Yunlong!”
“Nonsense!” The brigade commander cursed, “Even if Li Yunlong really got completely wiped out, the Jin Sui Army wouldn’t be that kind-hearted. The Jin Sui Army charging in large numbers to Heyuan County Town side must be because Li Yunlong damn well stirred up some mess again.”
That bastard Li Yunlong trapping himself in Heyuan County Town definitely has a reason. Now it seems, most likely he provoked the Jin Sui Army.
We haven’t caused friction with the Jin Sui Army in a long time, and this bastard is stirring things up again.
The deputy brigade commander upon hearing looked suspiciously at the brigade commander: “Brigade Commander, Li Yunlong attacked the Japanese military train, then assaulted Heyuan County Town. That doesn’t even border with the Jin Sui Army side, right?”
The deputy brigade commander’s meaning was that Li Yunlong hasn’t even contacted the Jin Sui Army, so how could he provoke them?
“Doesn’t border, so he can’t stir up trouble!” The brigade commander glared and cursed: “That Ding Wei too, why didn’t he send someone back in advance to give me a heads-up. Li Yunlong that dog drew so many Jin Sui Army over, the matter definitely isn’t small. Later when the Jin Sui Army comes to me to argue, and I don’t even know the reason, wouldn’t that put me in a passive position.”
“Could it be that Li Yunlong stirred up trouble so urgently that Ding Wei didn’t have time to send someone?” The deputy brigade commander judged.
“Or maybe Li Yunlong trapped himself in Heyuan County Town, and Ding Wei’s people can’t get out.” The brigade commander still preferred to trust Ding Wei, continuing, “But still, quickly send someone to Heyuan County Town side to keep watch. Once that dog Li Yunlong breaks out, immediately grab him and see just what this bastard did.”
“Who to send?” The deputy brigade commander asked.
The deputy brigade commander’s meaning was that based on the current situation, the trouble that kid Li Yunlong stirred up isn’t small.
Besides you the brigade commander going personally, probably no one can grab him.
“Looks like old me has to go there personally.” The brigade commander cursed.
The brigade commander quickly instructed the deputy brigade commander on a few things, then took his guard troops and rapidly left brigade headquarters.
……
Seeing Ding Wei and Cheng Xiazi’s troops fail to break out, Chu Yunfei’s guard company commander Company Commander Huang became even more restless.
“Special Envoy Yan, these Eighth Route Army fight wars too strangely. I’m feeling more and more uneasy.” Company Commander Huang leaned close to Yan Kai and said, “You should communicate with Li Yunlong’s side early, see what he really wants to do.”
Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and 772 Regiment clearly have very ample ammunition in hand, yet they failed to break out and aren’t assaulting Heyuan County Town. Company Commander Huang had a very bad premonition.
What premonition? Feeling like these Eighth Route Army are using Special Envoy Yan as bait for some big operation.
This is Special Envoy Yan, how can we sit by and let the Eighth Route Army continue like this!
Yan Kai also couldn’t sit still anymore. He found Li Yunlong: “Regimental Commander Li, what medicine are you selling in your gourd? Why not continue assaulting Heyuan County Town? Your two friendly force regiments clearly have ample ammunition, why not charge out?”
“Mr. Yan Kai, when you came with me back then, you said everything would follow my arrangements.” Li Yunlong of course wouldn’t tell him that old Li was using him.
“But you…” Yan Kai wanted to say more.
Li Yunlong interrupted: “Mr. Yan Kai, rest assured. You’ve seen it, I have ample ammunition in hand. Whenever I want to charge out, I can charge out then. Your life safety is completely guaranteed.”
“Well, alright then.” Yan Kai saw Li Yunlong wouldn’t reveal his military secrets, knew asking further was pointless.
Instead, Company Commander Huang shouted: “Regimental Commander Li, properly speaking, we shouldn’t inquire about your military secrets, but…”
Alright!
Before Company Commander Huang finished, Ding Wei happily ran back and pulled Li Yunlong aside: “Old Li, the Jin Sui Army has come charging over.”
“Haha.” Li Yunlong laughed upon hearing and asked: “How many?”
“Can’t tally the exact numbers, but the troops are really quite a few. Having them contain these Japanese Invader reinforcements definitely won’t be a problem.” Ding Wei said.
“Great, that’s too great.” Li Yunlong was extremely excited, “With a large Jin Sui Army force holding the Japanese Troops for us, then we can go eat the main course.”
Li Yunlong quickly ordered: “Dabiao, stop pretending with Fujita Ichi. We’re leaving, breaking out.”
“Yes, Regiment Commander.” Zhang Dabiao quickly carried out Li Yunlong’s order.
Company Commander Huang seeing this asked: “Regimental Commander Li, you’re not fighting this county town anymore?”
Li Yunlong didn’t directly answer Company Commander Huang’s question, but said: “Weren’t you always worried about Mr. Yan Kai’s safety? Now your large Jin Sui Army force has come charging over. I’m breaking out now, coordinating with the Jin Sui Army to hit the Japanese Invaders from both sides. Breaking out will be as simple as eating and drinking. Then, you can take Mr. Yan Kai to find your Jin Sui Army troops.”
With the Jin Sui Army containing these Japanese Invader reinforcements, Yan Kai is useless to Li Yunlong, no need to bring him anymore.
That guy’s eyes look very sharp. If he really turns into a spirit and through patting and probing figures out the core technology of our Hell Cannon, when we get back the brigade commander will definitely hang me up and beat me.
“Our large Jin Sui Army force has come charging over?” Company Commander Huang was stunned, looking at Li Yunlong, “Regimental Commander Li, what’s really going on here?”
Of course, Company Commander Huang’s heart felt relieved.
Li Yunlong using Mr. Yan Kai as a gun to wield had really made Company Commander Huang uneasy.
Now it’s good, a large Jin Sui Army force has come charging over, so we can take Mr. Yan Kai back safely. No more following Li Yunlong.
“Why ask so much. Weren’t you anxious to take Mr. Yan Kai back? Now it’s just as you wished.” Li Yunlong didn’t explain.
As soon as Li Yunlong took his troops and left, no longer fighting Heyuan County Town, Fujita Ichi was very puzzled: “Baka, weren’t these Eighth Route Army going to persuade us to surrender? Why did they leave?”
“Captain, do you think maybe our reinforcements have come charging over and the Eighth Route lost?” His confidant leaned close to Fujita Ichi and said.
“Our reinforcements don’t have sufficient ammunition, probably can’t fight their way over.” Fujita Ichi shook his head, speculating, “But since the Eighth Route withdrew, we should still hurry and leave Heyuan County Town. I have a hunch, if we don’t rush to escape, later there really might be no escape.”
Although Fujita Ichi didn’t understand why the Eighth Route withdrew in such a hurry, he also realized that continuing to stay in Heyuan County Town wasn’t a good strategy.
Just like that, Fujita Ichi took the chance to escape Heyuan County Town.
Later the large Jin Sui Army force charged here and although they took Heyuan County Town, Fujita Ichi dodged a disaster.
Ancient saying has: A fool’s thousand concerns will have one gain!
That’s talking about Fujita Ichi.
