Chapter 160: You Idiot, What Did You Do This Time?!
“Look, Old Kong, look at you, look at how pathetic you are.”
Li Yunlong immediately said with scorn, “It’s just a mere arsenal, look how excited you are. Let me tell you, snatching such an obscure arsenal doesn’t count for anything. Sooner or later, elder brother I will take you and Old Ding to snatch back the Taiyuan Arsenal, that will be the real big fortune.”
“Snatching the Taiyuan Arsenal, that’s too far off.” Kong Jie shook his head, that was the heartland of the Japanese Invaders’ First Army, not that simple.
“How did you find this Japanese Invaders’ arsenal?” Kong Jie still asked directly.
“That new Gendarmerie Captain Fujita Ichi in Heyuan County Town is a real idiot, he actually used equipment that can make bullets for fishing, think about it, where did his equipment come from.” Li Yunlong laughed.
“So you judged that there is a Japanese Invaders’ arsenal in this area.” Kong Jie said thoughtfully, remembering something, still asked, “But there’s still something off, the Japanese Invaders’ army has huge demand for weapons and ammunition, how could they stop equipment production just to use it for fishing.”
“Simple, I judge that the enemy fears our Hell Cannon, worried that we will sooner or later find this arsenal, so the enemy side is preparing to move this arsenal.” Li Yunlong explained.
“Then how did you get this intelligence?”
“Didn’t I get lucky and snag a few Japanese Invaders’ military dogs.” Li Yunlong chuckled and said, “Think about it, a place where the Japanese Invaders arrange military dogs for patrol, could it be an ordinary place? I had people quietly reconnoiter…”
Li Yunlong hadn’t finished speaking when Kong Jie jumped up happily: “Haha, Li Yunlong, looks like I, Kong Jie, really caught your luck this time.”
If we can get an arsenal back for Factory Director Li’s side, then I can ask for a few more rocket launchers.
Not afraid of Head of Logistics Old Zhang always suspecting I’m badmouthing Factory Director Li.
This time, I, Kong Jie, am getting the rocket launchers with real skill!
“Let me tell you, Kong Er Lengzi, don’t get too happy yet.” Li Yunlong’s expression was very serious, “This operation is very important, you have to cooperate well when the time comes, don’t fly off the handle with your stubborn temper at the key moment.”
This Kong Er Lengzi’s brain is different from Old Ding’s.
At any moment, Old Ding sees problems very clearly, spotting details and key points at once.
So, Old Ding cooperates very well with us at key moments, and the Brigade Commander is also at ease with Old Ding following my operations.
But this Kong Er Lengzi, at key moments, is really still a bit lacking.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry, to get military industry equipment over to Factory Director Li’s side, I’ll definitely listen to you.” Kong Jie quickly stated his position, then remembered something and couldn’t help asking: “I still have a question, why not pull Old Ding and go straight to the Japanese Invaders’ arsenal, why go to Chu Yunfei’s side and waste time.”
“Simple, right now the Japanese Invaders’ troops attacking the Jin Sui Army and Direct Line Army are mostly infantry, cavalry has only one Kuroshima Morita Regiment, mechanized regiments have two, one of which is active around Gao Liujin. And after we take the Japanese Invaders’ arsenal…” Li Yunlong’s words trailed off.
Kong Jie nodded emphatically: “I understand, this is to first heavily damage the Japanese Invaders’ rapid reinforcement troops, so they don’t chase and bite us later, affecting us moving the stuff back.”
“One more point, this operation has to be fast, can’t let the logistics transportation team follow, because the target is too big.” Li Yunlong added, “Snatch war horses from Black Island Morita, we can use war horses to quickly carry the arsenal’s equipment back.”
“Yeah, with war horses helping transport the stuff, our marching speed will be guaranteed then.” Kong Jie nodded again, happily said, “Old Li, this time following you to win a big victory, I’ll treat you to drinks later.”
Li Yunlong laughed and cursed: “I don’t care for your booze, you dig your coal well at the arsenal side, do good security work, at the key moment if you can protect the arsenal and protect Younger Brother Li, that’ll do.”
“Don’t worry, unless my New Second Regiment is completely wiped out, I won’t let the arsenal and Factory Director Li…”
“Get out, get out, you blockhead, shut your dog mouth!” Li Yunlong cursed loudly, my mood is so good, and you say inauspicious words at the key moment, ruining my mood.
Smack!
Kong Jie directly slapped himself, cursing: “Yes, yes, yes, deserves it, this mouth of mine deserves it, can’t talk.”
“Right, what does this Japanese Invaders’ arsenal produce, not just bullets, right?” Kong Jie asked again.
“Not sure exactly, we’ll know after we take it.”
……
Heyuan Japanese Gendarmerie
“Captain, according to your orders, the bait is fully prepared.” The assistant came before Sato Jino and reported.
Sato Jino didn’t come alone, but brought his own people.
This assistant had made great contributions to Sato Jino, so he was also brought along by Sato Jino.
“Mm, very good.” Sato Jino nodded, said to the assistant, “Next is to leave traces, don’t make it too obvious, just leak a little bit. The Eighth Route Army’s intelligence officers aren’t freeloaders, they can judge the bait from traces.”
“Yes, Captain.” The assistant nodded again.
“Go, handle this personally, don’t let that idiot Fujita Ichi and his people get involved.”
“Okay.” The assistant was about to leave.
Then saw Fujita Ichi rushing in hurriedly: “Deputy Minister, bad news, bad news…”
“Fujita, you idiot, don’t you know to knock before entering!” Sato Jino saw Fujita Ichi’s panicked look, his emotions immediately flared up.
Looking at this, could it be this idiot caused trouble again?
Fujita Ichi was roared at by Sato Jino, still obediently went out, then knocked: “Deputy Minister, can I come in?”
“You idiot, you’ve already barged in, why bother.” Sato Jino cursed again, then asked sharply: “What happened now, did the combat troops suffer a big loss?”
Although the supplies were already loaded on the military train, the railway line hadn’t been repaired yet.
Every day delayed, the combat troops’ supplies were consumed a portion.
Sato Jino was really worried, if the combat troops suffered a big loss due to supplies consumed too fast, that would really be trouble.
He’d locked onto the Eighth Route Army Arsenal, the operation would need a lot of troops.
“Not the combat troops suffering losses, but our military dogs are gone.” Fujita Ichi answered.
Military dogs gone?
Sato Jino heard it, his expression immediately turned extremely ugly: “Baka, what exactly happened?”
To find and lock the Eighth Route Army Arsenal’s location, the most critical was military dogs scenting.
Without military dogs scenting, no way to track the Eighth Route Army’s arsenal.
Fujita Ichi this idiot, what did you do again.
“Because the Eighth Route Army’s heavy cannon threat is too great, Heyuan County Town can be casually shelled, Cuicun Arsenal not moved, sooner or later discovered by Eighth Route Army, would fall into their hands. So this arsenal has to be transferred, to avoid enemy eyes and ears noticing, the military dogs were moved there for alert.” Fujita Ichi explained, “Then the patrol team leading the military dogs unexpectedly ran into a group of Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army wiped out the patrol team, military dogs all missing!”
Regarding this, Fujita Ichi was also quite helpless.
These Eighth Route Army weren’t hiding without showing up!
Result, they show up and run into our military dog patrol.
Of course.
Not ruling out the military dogs scented Eighth Route Army smell or discovered their traces, then both sides clashed, Amaterasu didn’t bless them.
“Baka!” Sato Jino heard it, slammed the table hard, scolded: “Fujita, Cuicun Arsenal to be transferred, military dogs moved there for alert, why didn’t you report to me in advance, I thought our military dogs were still in the kennel. Baka, such an important matter, you hid it from me completely, you idiot!”
“Deputy Minister, I was also preparing to report this to you, who would have thought…” Fujita Ichi’s expression was ugly.
At the beginning, Fujita Ichi originally planned to hand over to Sato Jino.
But Sato Jino coming here mainly to hunt Eighth Route Army and their arsenal, Fujita Ichi thought, this arsenal transfer doesn’t need immediate reporting, don’t distract Sato Jino.
As for leading military dogs there for alert patrol, in Fujita Ichi’s view, not a big deal.
As long as Sato Jino’s bait gets swallowed by Eighth Route Army, when military dogs needed, by then the arsenal should be transferred successfully, military dogs can be pulled over for use.
Who knew this accident happened.
“Military dogs gone, can borrow from elsewhere!” Sato Jino roared, “Mainly this Cuicun Arsenal, if something goes wrong, no one can bear the responsibility, you idiot understand!”
Military dogs are precious, not easy to train in short time.
But for hunting Eighth Route Army Arsenal, such important operation, Sato Jino could still apply for military dogs from elsewhere.
In Sato Jino’s view, Fujita Ichi having people lead military dogs to Cuicun Arsenal for alert, that was the real stupidity!
After all, our military dogs are few in number.
Places needing military dogs are definitely military strongholds.
You Fujita Ichi afraid enemies don’t know Cuicun Arsenal isn’t our stronghold?
Very likely, enemy eyes and ears already frantically searching for clues there.
“Deputy Minister, aren’t you too sensitive…” Fujita Ichi blinked at Sato Jino, words not finished, interrupted by Sato Jino’s roar: “You idiot first lost equipment that can make cannonballs and half-finished cannon barrels, then used equipment that can make bullets for fishing, afraid enemies don’t know you have an arsenal here! And you pull military dogs there for training and alert, isn’t that like no silver three hundred taels!”
Sato Jino roared till his liver hurt, didn’t want to say more, asked sharply: “Cuicun Arsenal side, how’s the transfer going?”
“Half packed.” Hearing Sato Jino roar like this, Fujita Ichi immediately woke up.
Thought it was seamless, didn’t expect, in front of Deputy Minister this professional, full of loopholes, his emotions quickly tensed.
This Cuicun Arsenal though small, if any mishap, really have to commit seppuku.
“First secretly transfer away this half that’s packed immediately.” Sato Jino urgently said, “The rest, hurry and pack.”
“Deputy Minister, now enemies have eyes and ears searching there, this time to transfer, not good timing…” Fujita Ichi wanted to say, transferring now would directly expose it.
“Baka, didn’t hear secret transfer? Secret transfer, you idiot understand!!!” Sato Jino angrily rebuked, “You really plan to delay further, let enemies take it all in the end!”
“Yes, yes, yes, secret transfer, I understand, secret transfer.” Fujita Ichi nodded repeatedly.
“You go follow this idiot, in case he does something stupid midway. As for leaking bait traces, I’ll do it personally.” Head-aching Sato Jino had the assistant follow Fujita Ichi.
The assistant reminded: “Deputy Minister, how about I take full responsibility for this.”
The assistant meant, didn’t want this idiot Fujita Ichi following.
In one sentence, unwilling to work with this idiot.
Who knows if this idiot will have some stupid operation later, dragging me down.
“Yes, makes sense, I almost made a big mistake.” Sato Jino immediately nodded, said to Fujita Ichi, “You don’t need to get involved in this, stay put honestly, don’t do anything.”
“Deputy Minister, trust me, I definitely…” Fujita Ichi swore, to make Sato Jino believe he won’t mess up again.
“Get out!” Sato Jino directly kicked Fujita Ichi out.
Damn idiot, only fools would continue trusting you.
“Deputy Minister, I’m off.” The assistant nodded and left.
“Working with idiots, really so tiring.” Sato Jino plopped down, rubbed his temples, tried hard to calm his mood.
As long as Cuicun Arsenal can smoothly secretly transfer away, Eighth Route Army Arsenal smoothly locked and found, finally successfully capture the Eighth Route Army Arsenal’s mastermind, then himself… hopefully no more mishaps in between.
