Chapter 73: Brigade Commander: Li Yunlong, You Say You Took The Wrong Road, Why Not Go All The Way To Tokyo?
“Ouch, you, Brigade Commander Li, also have times when you’re embarrassed.”
The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong in surprise, “Come on, come on, you give me an order too and let’s see.”
“Brigade Commander, you’re really not joking with me!” Li Yunlong was like a little chick, very honest.
“You know you can’t just joke around casually!” The brigade commander’s posture quickly returned to normal, and he started cursing furiously: “Li Yunlong, you’ve got some nerve, I told you to hit a small scrap yard, and you dared to attack Ping’an County Town, you’ve made such a huge mess…”
Li Yunlong defended himself: “Brigade Commander, listen to me explain it to you.”
“What’s this, looking at your posture, have I wronged you!” The brigade commander glared at Li Yunlong, “Fine, I’m all ears, I want to see what kind of explanation you can give me.”
“Brigade Commander, actually I took the wrong road, I didn’t mean to go to Ping’an County Town…” Li Yunlong explained in a low voice.
“Even if you, Li Yunlong, took the wrong road, you could have just turned back the way you came, why did you attack Ping’an County Town!”
“Brigade Commander, you know my temper, since we were already at Ping’an County Town, and the Japanese Invaders’ profits were right at my mouth, if I came back empty-handed, wouldn’t that be…” Li Yunlong didn’t finish his words.
The brigade commander’s anger completely erupted, and he kicked Li Yunlong hard in the butt: “Still bullshitting me, I’ll shoot you!”
The brigade commander quickly drew his gun, and the guard platoon hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: “Brigade Commander, you mustn’t, you mustn’t, if you fire, you’ll alert the Japanese Invaders at the scrap yard.”
Ding Wei also hurriedly stepped forward: “Brigade Commander, if you want to deal with us, do it after we get back, the Japanese Invaders’ mechanized troops and cavalry troops are contained, but our time to attack the scrap yard is still very tight, Brigade Commander, business first!”
The brigade commander put his gun away, still very angrily glaring at Ding Wei: “Ding Wei, the reason I sent you to act together with Li Yunlong was hoping you could hold down this stubborn mule at key moments, how did you end up messing around with him too.”
“Brigade Commander, I know I was wrong.” Ding Wei nodded, “After we get back, I’ll definitely make a deep self-criticism.”
Seeing Ding Wei’s sincere attitude, and then looking at Li Yunlong beside him, the brigade commander felt a headache coming on.
Why can’t you, Li Yunlong, look at Ding Wei, he admits his mistake proactively when he’s done wrong.
And look at you, you bastard, not only don’t you admit your mistake, you babble on to me.
Weren’t you born able to read maps, how could you take the wrong road?
Why didn’t you go all the way to Tokyo, right into the Emperor’s wife’s bedchamber!
However, hearing Ding Wei say that the Japanese Invaders’ mechanized troops and cavalry troops were contained, the brigade commander was still very curious and asked: “Ding Wei, how were the mechanized troops and cavalry troops contained?”
Li Yunlong immediately grinned and came over: “Brigade Commander, that’s simple…”
“Get the hell out of here!” The brigade commander directly kicked Li Yunlong to the side.
Ding Wei stepped forward to explain: “Brigade Commander, it’s like this, after we captured the supplies in Ping’an County Town, we deliberately came back from the edge of Jin Sui Army 358th Regiment’s defense zone. And for the Japanese Invaders’ mechanized troops and cavalry troops to save time pursuing us, they had to pass through the 358th Regiment’s defense zone…”
Ding Wei didn’t finish his words, but the brigade commander understood the rest, and immediately turned to glare at Li Yunlong again: “Li Yunlong, this was another of your sneaky ideas, wasn’t it.”
Making the Jin Sui Army 358th Regiment help you contain the Japanese Invaders’ mechanized troops and cavalry troops, only you, Li Yunlong, would dare to do that!
“Brigade Commander, can’t we march on our own land? If I want to come back from wherever, is it…” Li Yunlong said righteously.
“I’m telling you, if the Jin Sui Army 358th Regiment comes back later demanding compensation, see how I deal with you!” the brigade commander said through gritted teeth.
“It won’t happen, Brigade Commander, Chu Yunfei’s 358th Regiment has five thousand men and an artillery battalion waiting for the enemy at ease, the Japanese Invaders are fatigued troops, if they hastily fight Chu Yunfei, he’s got a high chance of winning, worst case, he might even come to thank me.” Li Yunlong immediately said.
“Look at you, so smug.” The brigade commander cursed Li Yunlong again, then got back to business, “When we get back, I’ll deal with you all, now hurry up and take the scrap yard for me, oh right, how many cannonballs are left?”
“Two left, both lethal shells.” Ding Wei hurriedly answered.
“That’s enough, hurry up and get to work.” The brigade commander nodded.
The scrap yard’s defenses weren’t strong, and lethal shells were sufficient.
“Yes, Brigade Commander.” Li Yunlong and Ding Wei quickly got to work.
“Old Ding, see, the brigade commander cursed us out, let off his anger, and now it’s all fine.” To regain his lost face, Li Yunlong said to Ding Wei.
“Old Li, I don’t think it’s as simple as you think.” Ding Wei didn’t believe it.
“It’s really that simple.” Li Yunlong had a been-there-done-that expression, “Worst case, when we get back, the brigade commander curses us out again, it won’t cost us any flesh.”
Ding Wei didn’t bother wasting words with Li Yunlong, and the troops quickly got ready.
Boom!
One cannonball hit the scrap yard’s gate, and the explosion’s power blew the gate to pieces at the same time.
Nails and iron beads flew everywhere, and the machine gun firepower points on both sides of the gate suffered devastating strikes.
Taking this opportunity, immediately have the troops attack.
The brigade commander was a bit surprised on the side: “Li Yunlong, your cannonball hit pretty accurately. But the explosive power seems to have decreased quite a bit.”
Li Yunlong explained: “Brigade Commander, this is the arsenal’s test cannonball, it’s improved, it’s not that I hit accurately, it’s that the cannonball’s trajectory is more stable. As for the explosive power, this kind of cannonball mainly relies on nails and iron beads for lethality in crowded areas, so the explosion power isn’t that important.”
“True.” The brigade commander nodded, “Our arsenal’s materials are limited to begin with, while ensuring lethality, we still have to save materials as much as possible and make more cannonballs.”
The Japanese Invaders at the scrap yard were quickly suppressed to the open area in the back, and Li Yunlong didn’t hold back.
The last cannonball was fired.
Not a single one of the last Japanese Invaders at the scrap yard was left, all turned into pincushions.
The brigade commander lowered his head to record the data from this last cannonball.
Li Yunlong and Ding Wei led the troops in hurrying inside to grab things: broken steel helmets, broken guns, bayonets with dulled edges, broken military water bottles, and so on.
No matter what it was, take it all.
The brigade commander finished recording and closed the notebook. It wasn’t long before he saw Li Yunlong trotting over happily, saying, “Brigade Commander, we seem to have found some good stuff in this scrap yard too, do you want to come take a look?”
“Good stuff in the scrap yard?” The brigade commander was stunned, disbelieving, it’s all scrap, what good stuff could there be, but he still asked, “What is it?”
“You’ll know when you come look.”
“Alright, I want to see what good stuff it is.”
