Chapter 106: I’ve Got My Eye On The Emperor’s Wife, No One Else Can Touch Her
386 Brigade Headquarters
“Brigade Commander, the Japanese Army Third Regiment has come under attack.”
A staff officer hurriedly ran up to the brigade commander and reported to him, “According to preliminary judgment, the force attacking the Third Regiment is one of our troops.”
“What did you say!!!! Someone is attacking the Third Regiment!!!”
Upon hearing this, the brigade commander’s voice was loud enough to flip the ceiling.
After Li Yunlong took down Mine No. 9, the kid slipped the reins again and rolled off somewhere unknown.
The brigade commander was very worried; this kid was definitely going to stir up trouble.
After all, this kid had been replenished with soldiers and weapons and ammunition, so his wings were stiff again.
Now, upon hearing that the Japanese Army Third Regiment had come under attack from our troops, the brigade commander’s first reaction was that it must be related to Li Yunlong!
The Third Regiment was the so-called elite of the Japanese Invaders!
On Cangyun Ridge, hadn’t Li Yunlong and the New First Regiment already experienced the prowess of the Third Regiment?
If not for Li Yunlong holding the advantage of terrain, if not for his successful decapitation strike, he absolutely couldn’t have been a match for the Third Regiment!
And now, this dog-day bastard had truly eaten leopard’s gall.
He even dared to blatantly provoke the Third Regiment.
Did he really think the Third Regiment was a soft persimmon?
“Brigade Commander, what do we do now?” The staff officer was very nervous. “The Third Regiment is not to be trifled with. A frontal hard fight is definitely not feasible.”
Although they hadn’t yet determined the specific designation of this force, the 772nd Regiment and 771st Regiment were both here now, the New First Regiment was here too, and the New Second Regiment was coal mining at the arsenal.
The force attacking the Third Regiment—besides Li Yunlong, no one else came to mind.
“What else can we do!” The brigade commander flew into a rage and roared: “Immediately give all eighteen cannonballs I brought back from the arsenal to Ding Wei, have him take the New First Regiment to urgently reinforce Li Yunlong. Tell Ding Wei, once he finds this scoundrel, immediately drag him back for me…”
The brigade commander hadn’t finished speaking when an intelligence officer hurriedly ran over and reported to him: “Report, Brigade Commander, the 22nd Regiment’s jurisdiction has come under attack.”
The Japanese Army 22nd Regiment’s jurisdiction also came under attack?
The brigade commander was stunned and looked at the intelligence officer: “Who is attacking?”
In the brigade commander’s view, Li Yunlong was attacking the Third Regiment.
So he definitely wouldn’t have the energy to also hit the 22nd Regiment’s jurisdiction; this must be someone else.
The brigade commander’s heart eased a bit.
Since someone was attacking the 22nd Regiment’s jurisdiction, for Li Yunlong, it meant someone was helping divert the Japanese Invaders’ attention.
That way, the Japanese Invaders’ reinforcements wouldn’t all press toward Li Yunlong.
“According to preliminary judgment, it’s our troops…” The intelligence officer hadn’t finished speaking.
The brigade commander glared and roared, cutting him off: “Impossible!”
Li Yunlong the dog-day only had about a thousand men; wasn’t he attacking the Third Regiment?
While attacking the Third Regiment, could he still split forces to attack into the 22nd Regiment’s jurisdiction?
How was that possible!
The Third Regiment was tough; even if Li Yunlong went all out, he couldn’t match them—how could he split forces?
“Brigade Commander, the force attacking the 22nd Regiment’s jurisdiction brought Hell Cannons; our eyes and ears won’t mistake the sound.” The intelligence officer was very certain. “As for this unit’s designation, it will take a bit more time to report back to you.”
“This doesn’t add up; it just doesn’t add up.” The brigade commander shook his head repeatedly. “Even if Li Yunlong is that bold, he couldn’t possibly…”
The brigade commander hadn’t finished speaking when the staff officer beside him said to him: “Brigade Commander, I just thought of a possibility.”
“What possibility?” The brigade commander turned to look at this staff officer.
“When you came back from the arsenal side, didn’t you say you ran into Gao Liujin? Gao Liujin took a Hell Cannon and ten cannonballs from the arsenal. Could it be…” The staff officer hadn’t finished speaking.
Bang!
The brigade commander immediately slammed his fist hard on the table and roared in fury: “I get it; it must be Gao Liujin this scoundrel attacking the Third Regiment. This dog-day bastard, instead of staying put in their own sector, came over to my side to stir up trouble!”
What kind of character Gao Liujin was, the brigade commander knew better than anyone.
Ever since this scoundrel had his grain robbed by Li Yunlong’s troops running wild, he had to compete with Li Yunlong in everything.
Even after the brigade commander kicked him over to the 120th Division, this scoundrel still couldn’t change his ways.
Li Yunlong had beaten the Third Regiment on Cangyun Ridge; now with a Hell Cannon, Gao Liujin was very likely to go after them too—and to outdo Li Yunlong, this scoundrel would definitely choose a frontal assault.
The one attacking the Third Regiment right now was absolutely Gao Liujin!
This was a scoundrel who didn’t even know what danger was!
“Brigade Commander, since it’s Gao Liujin attacking the Third Regiment, then the one killing into the 22nd Regiment’s jurisdiction must be Li Yunlong.” The intelligence officer judged. “With the 22nd Regiment out, their jurisdiction is definitely vulnerable. We probably don’t need to worry about Li Yunlong’s safety…”
“Wrong!” The brigade commander cut him off directly. “On the contrary, it’s even more dangerous.”
“How so?” the intelligence officer asked.
“Why is Li Yunlong hitting the 22nd Regiment’s jurisdiction while Gao Liujin attacks the Third Regiment?” the brigade commander countered.
“Brigade Commander, are you saying these two troublemakers have teamed up again?” The intelligence officer thought for a moment, his face visibly turning very ugly.
Li Yunlong was bold!
Gao Liujin didn’t know what danger was!
These two together had caused the brigade commander countless headaches before.
It had been hard enough to separate these two.
Now they were together again—what was that if not pouring oil on the fire!
“Here’s the plan: no changes. Have Ding Wei immediately take the cannonballs to reinforce Li Yunlong and drag him back.” The brigade commander still gave the stern order.
“Brigade Commander, what about Gao Liujin?” the staff officer asked.
“I’ll call the 120th Division side and let them come fish him out themselves.” The brigade commander was very wise.
It had been hard enough to kick this menace Gao Liujin over to the 120th Division.
He wasn’t going to help fish him out himself.
If he wasn’t careful, helping out like that, the 120th Division might just shove this menace back to him and wash their hands of it.
Wouldn’t that leave him holding the bag!
…
386 Brigade New First Regiment
Ding Wei handed over the equipment to the brigade commander and led his troops back to regimental headquarters to rest.
Who would have thought, before his butt was even warm on the seat, men from brigade headquarters arrived.
“Ding Wei, these are the eighteen cannonballs from the brigade commander for you. Take the cannonballs immediately to the 22nd Regiment’s jurisdiction and drag Li Yunlong back.” The brigade staff officer commanded Ding Wei in a very serious tone.
Upon hearing this, Ding Wei was somewhat suspicious: “The 22nd Regiment has already come out, right? Their jurisdiction is just an empty shell. Li Yunlong will grab some stuff and come back on his own, won’t he? Do I really need to take cannonballs to reinforce him?”
“Have you heard of Gao Liujin?” the staff officer said.
“Gao Liujin?” Upon hearing this, Ding Wei nodded. “I’ve heard of him. Back when crossing the grassland, Old Li ran wild with his troops to rob grain, and it was Gao Liujin he robbed.”
Back then, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and Li Yunlong were all from the Fourth Front Army.
Naturally, they had a deep impression of the target of Li Yunlong’s grain-robbing escapade.
“This Gao Liujin got sugar from somewhere and traded it at the arsenal for a Hell Cannon and cannonballs. He’s now attacking the Third Regiment.” The staff officer said quickly. “To prevent Li Yunlong from joining him and causing even bigger trouble, we’re sending you to drag Li Yunlong back. We’re having you bring cannonballs just in case.”
Gao Liujin attacking the Third Regiment!!!
Ding Wei jumped in shock upon hearing this.
This Gao Liujin was truly a scoundrel who didn’t know what danger was.
Even Li Yunlong, who was so badass, didn’t dare frontal assault the Third Regiment, yet Gao Liujin dared!
Suppressing his shock, Ding Wei immediately said solemnly: “I’ll take my troops right away to link up with Li Yunlong.”
Then Ding Wei asked: “What about Gao Liujin? Should we deal with him?”
“The brigade commander has already notified Gao Liujin’s superiors; they’ll send someone to handle it. You don’t worry about it.” The brigade staff officer said.
“Yes.” Ding Wei nodded and immediately led his troops and cannonballs to set off urgently.
…
“Damn it, this 22nd Regiment is just a bunch of paupers!”
Li Yunlong led his troops and effortlessly wiped out the Japanese Invaders and traitors in the 22nd Regiment’s jurisdiction, actually capturing some conventional weapons and ammunition and supplies.
It was just that Comrade Old Li’s standards had become very high now.
These conventional captures seemed worthless to him, not even a fraction of the mine’s haul.
Then Li Yunlong roared at Zhang Dabiao: “Dabiao, have men transport the captured supplies back first. We’re going to the Third Regiment side to see just which son of a turtle dares to fish in my bowl!”
“Yes, Regiment Commander.” Zhang Dabiao nodded, immediately arranged manpower to clean up and transport the supplies, then led the remaining men to follow Li Yunlong to the Third Regiment side.
But they’d only gone a couple steps when they saw Chu Yunfei of the Jin Sui Army 358th Regiment rushing over in a hurry.
Chu Yunfei hadn’t arrived yet, but his voice did: “Brother Yunlong, what you’re doing is not righteous.”
“Brother Chu, what do you mean by that?” Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes and asked.
“How could you enter the Japanese Army 22nd Regiment’s jurisdiction? This is something Chu has had my eye on for a long time.” Chu Yunfei pointed out.
“Brother Chu, what you’re saying is off.” Li Yunlong said seriously. “By that logic, if I set my sights on the Emperor’s wife, does that mean she’s mine and no one else can touch her?”
“Brother Yunlong, that’s sophistry.” Chu Yunfei glared, but seeing that Li Yunlong’s troops hadn’t taken much here after all, he dropped the topic and questioned instead: “I won’t argue with you about the 22nd Regiment’s jurisdiction, but how could your troops attack the Third Regiment? You’re drawing the Third Regiment’s Japanese Invaders over, and then four regiments of Japanese Invaders will attack my 358th Regiment—Chu can’t handle that heavy a burden.”
“Brother Chu, you’re really wronging me.” Li Yunlong had a face full of grievance. “Look, all my troops are here. Do you think I, Li Yunlong, don’t understand that having you hold off three Japanese Invaders regiments is already the limit? How could I possibly give you extra trouble and draw more Japanese Invaders, making it so we can’t even finish our business?”
Chu Yunfei took a general look; Li Yunlong’s troops really were all here.
Chu Yunfei was still suspicious: “Brother Yunlong, it’s really not you?”
This is your Eighth Route Army’s troops doing it—who would believe there’s no connection between you?
“Brother Chu, to be honest, I’m just heading over there now to see which grandson is causing trouble for us two.” Li Yunlong said hypocritically.
Not mentioning at all that he had planned to ambush the Third Regiment himself.
“Alright then, Chu will go with you to take a look.” Setting aside the influence of the attack on the Third Regiment, Chu Yunfei was still very curious about the fierce one daring a frontal assault on the Third Regiment.
