Chapter 66: Brigade Commander Blows His Top
Facing the Deputy Brigade Commander’s questioning, the Brigade Commander still tried hard to control his emotions and said: “The Intelligence Officer is only saying that someone is attacking the County Town, and didn’t say that this person is Li Yunlong.”
Although the Brigade Commander said this, his subconscious judgment was still the same as the Deputy Brigade Commander’s.
If things go wrong, it might really be Li Yunlong attacking the County Town for the third time. This bastard has some guts.
“Now besides Li Yunlong, who else would have the guts to do this?” the Deputy Brigade Commander questioned again. “Moreover, now he Li Yunlong has four Hell Cannon Shells on hand, so he also has the conditions to attack the city.”
“Did the troops attacking the city use heavy weapons?” the Brigade Commander turned his head and asked the Intelligence Officer.
“No.” The Intelligence Officer answered.
The Brigade Commander immediately turned around and said to the Deputy Brigade Commander: “Listen, the troops attacking the city have no heavy weapons. If Li Yunlong arbitrarily changed my orders, he would use Heyuan County Town to test the shells, but Heyuan County Town has not been shelled, so we still cannot jump to conclusions.”
Obviously, a trace of fantasy still lingered in the Brigade Commander’s heart.
He still was unwilling to believe that Li Yunlong had caused him trouble.
Attacking Heyuan County Town for the third time, the mess was too big, and the Brigade Commander couldn’t cover it up.
“Brigade Commander, besides him Li Yunlong, no one would dare to do it.” The Deputy Brigade Commander still firmly believed the city attack was related to Li Yunlong.
“Go and investigate closely again to find out exactly who is attacking Heyuan County Town.” The Brigade Commander ordered.
“Yes.” The Intelligence Officer left.
Not long after, the Intelligence Officer ran back and reported: “Report to the Brigade Commander, we’ve checked it out. The troops attacking Heyuan County Town are our Local Armed Forces, including the County Brigade District Squad. Preliminary judgment is that this might be an action by the local troops.”
The Deputy Brigade Commander was stunned: “Are you sure it’s not him Li Yunlong?”
The Intelligence Officer answered: “No trace of Regimental Commander Li has been found.”
The Deputy Brigade Commander’s tone grew heavy again: “These local troops don’t even have basic artillery. How could they so recklessly attack Heyuan County Town? Isn’t this just asking for death!”
The Brigade Commander analyzed: “I judge that they saw the opening in Heyuan County Town hadn’t been sealed yet, so they wanted to break in through the opening.”
Immediately after, the Brigade Commander frowned: “This is troublesome now. Once they start fighting, the Japanese Invaders’ Encirclement Troops from Ping’an County Town will move out, and we won’t even have a chance to save them.”
How to save them.
The 22nd Regiment, Heidao Cavalry Regiment, plus a Mechanized Regiment—they’re armed to the teeth, just waiting to clean people up.
The Intelligence Officer continued: “They’ve already been caught by the enemy’s tail.”
“Brigade Commander, we can’t really just stand by and watch them die, right? After all, they are our armed forces.” Upon hearing that the Local Armed Forces had been caught by the Japanese Invaders, the Deputy Brigade Commander also frowned.
Caught like that, if we don’t help, once the Japanese Invaders’ Encirclement Troops come, they’ll be wiped out.
“No, this isn’t right, this isn’t right!” Remembering something, the Brigade Commander shook his head.
“What’s not right?” the Deputy Brigade Commander asked suspiciously.
“These Local Armed Forces generally wouldn’t easily launch a big operation. If they do, they would notify us in advance. But now, these Local Armed Forces suddenly banded together to attack the city—it’s not reasonable.” The Brigade Commander raised the question. “Moreover, up to now, there’s been no movement from the Scrap Yard side.”
“You mean…” The Deputy Brigade Commander thought thoughtfully.
Having analyzed to this point, no matter how unwilling the Brigade Commander was to believe that Li Yunlong had stirred up trouble, he had to accept it. Furious, he cursed: “The local troops were most likely incited by Li Yunlong. This son of a bitch really wants to piss me off. I’ve already sent Ding Wei and Zhao Gang out, and still can’t hold this bastard down!”
Who knows how this bastard fooled Ding Wei and Zhao Gang. These two really dared to follow him in messing around, and even dragged the local troops into it.
“Brigade Commander, what do we do now?” the Deputy Brigade Commander asked nervously.
Li Yunlong inciting the local troops to attack the city was probably just one part of it.
He definitely has other actions planned afterward.
Could it be.
This kid deliberately wants to lure out the Japanese Invaders’ Encirclement Troops from Ping’an County Town, then use the four shells to ambush the Encirclement Troops.
This is too fanciful.
That’s three Japanese Invaders Regiments, two of which are fast-moving troops—not a joke.
The Infantry Regiment holds you Li Yunlong in front, while the Mechanized Troops and Cavalry Regiment quickly encircle from left and right. Even if you Li Yunlong were Sun Wukong, you couldn’t escape the Buddha’s palm.
“What do you mean what to do? What can I do? Besides waiting and seeing, what else can I do!” The Brigade Commander was furious. Now he didn’t even know where this bastard Li Yunlong had gone, so how could he act rashly.
“So the local troops that are caught—we’re really not going to do anything?” The Deputy Brigade Commander was very worried. “We might still have a little time now. If Ping’an County Town’s Encirclement Troops move out, then we really won’t have…”
The Deputy Brigade Commander didn’t finish his words when another Intelligence Officer quickly ran over, saluted the Brigade Commander: “Brigade Commander, the Japanese Invaders’ Encirclement Troops from Ping’an County Town have come out.”
The Deputy Brigade Commander fell silent. The Japanese Invaders’ Encirclement Troops had come out—nothing more to say.
Even if he Li Yunlong had any skills, with just four Hell Cannon Shells, he couldn’t possibly rescue these local armed forces, right.
“Li Yunlong ah Li Yunlong, you’d better have the ability to turn the tide for me. Otherwise, when you get back, I’ll really shoot you, you bastard!” The Brigade Commander slammed the table hard.
The Deputy Brigade Commander said to the Intelligence Officer: “Go continue monitoring.”
“Yes.” The Intelligence Officer saluted and withdrew.
The Deputy Brigade Commander comforted the Brigade Commander: “Brigade Commander, as you said, Li Yunlong never suffers in fighting wars. Maybe he really will create a miracle.”
At this point, they could only think positively.
“Hopefully!” The Brigade Commander squeezed the words through his teeth.
……
Ping’an County Town
Li Yunlong and Ding Wei’s troops had long prepared for battle. Zhang Dabiao ran over to report to Li Yunlong: “Regimental Commander, the Japanese Invaders have run far. It’s about time to act, right?”
“Mm.” Li Yunlong hummed, immediately picked up the match, and lit the fuse of the Hell Cannon.
The fuse burned shorter and shorter.
Boom!
The armor-piercing shell was fired out, landing very precisely right at the front gate of Ping’an County Town.
A big opening was blasted at the front gate, with bricks and stones flying chaotically from the smoke, clattering everywhere.
The city wall defenses of Ping’an County Town were directly torn open.
“Eh, this new shell seems to hit even more accurately.”
Li Yunlong noticed something different about the new shells—the trajectory was steadier and more accurate.
Ding Wei also said: “This opening is a bit smaller than before, and the power seems reduced.”
Li Yunlong didn’t mind at all and said: “Although this opening is a bit smaller, it’s still enough. Probably the Arsenal side wanted to save some raw materials. Dabiao, get to work, move fast.”
“Yes, Regimental Commander.” Zhang Dabiao led the troops and immediately charged toward this opening.
