Chapter 122: Give You A Bit Of Sunshine, And You Shine Bright!
On the way back.
The Brigade Commander asked Li Yunlong: “Li Yunlong, I heard Gao Liujin say that when you attacked the Iron Smelting Plant, Gao Liujin still fired two of your Armor-piercing Shells. What’s going on?”
If Gao Liujin hadn’t fired those two shots, I could have gotten eighty percent of the Iron Smelting Plant’s share.
How could you be so careless and make such a low-level mistake.
Hearing the Brigade Commander say this, Li Yunlong immediately slapped his forehead: “Oh, Brigade Commander, why didn’t you remind me earlier? Gao Liujin used two of my Armor-piercing Shells and I forgot to ask him to return them.”
Just now, our attention was all on the equipment missing parts, and we overlooked this detail.
Damn it, Gao Liujin didn’t even mention it himself, thinking he could get away with it.
Later, I’ll definitely get them back.
Ding Wei explained to the Brigade Commander on the side: “Brigade Commander, it was like this. At that time, several Bunkers’ firepower from the Iron Smelting Plant side exposed again, suppressing the Troops. To avoid increasing the Troops’ casualties, we let Gao Liujin use Li Yunlong’s two Hell Cannon Shells to bombard together. Li Yunlong did this for the overall situation, to avoid increasing the Troops’ casualties.”
“If you can’t get the shells back later, I’ll deduct them from your share.” The Brigade Commander, upon hearing this, didn’t say anything more, but still said seriously to Li Yunlong.
“Don’t worry, Brigade Commander. I guarantee that bastard Gao Liujin won’t get away with it.” Li Yunlong nodded heavily.
“That batch of Large Caliber Steel Pipe equipment you handed over to the Arsenal earlier, where did you snatch it from?” the Brigade Commander asked again.
If we can get Li Yunlong to go snatch it from there again, then we’ve won too easily.
Of course!
There’s still one opportunity.
That’s the Japanese Invaders’ Military Train.
We’ve already gathered intelligence on this in advance. If we find a Military Train carrying Large Caliber Steel Pipes, no need to say anything, we’ll seize the opportunity amidst danger.
“Brigade Commander, didn’t I tell you? In Lu Ye.” Li Yunlong answered.
“I know you said Lu Ye. I’m asking specifically where in Lu Ye?”
“There’s a General’s Temple in Lu Ye, right next to the main road by that General’s Temple.” Li Yunlong looked at the Brigade Commander, “Brigade Commander, you want to see if there’s a chance to rob Large Caliber Steel Pipes from there again, but Lu Ye is a bit far away.”
As long as we snatch the Japanese Invaders’ Train next, the Japanese Invaders will definitely mobilize more Troops to deal with us.
They might even immediately launch a cruel large-scale sweep on the Base Area.
If we still go far to attack Lu Ye, the risk is enormous.
“Nonsense, of course I know it’s far.” The Brigade Commander nodded solemnly and said, “First, send people there in advance to reconnoiter and search carefully to see if there are any clues.”
“As long as there’s a clue, even if it’s a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, I’ll go snatch the Large Caliber Steel Pipes for you!” Li Yunlong immediately pledged.
“I don’t just want Large Caliber Steel Pipes, I want the equipment to make Large Caliber Steel Pipes!” the Brigade Commander said solemnly.
Since the Japanese Invaders are transporting Large Caliber Steel Pipes, they must have the equipment to make this stuff.
We can’t just rely on snatching Large Caliber Steel Pipes. Snatching the equipment so we can make them ourselves is the truth.
“Yes, Brigade Commander.”
“You managed to snatch the equipment from the Japanese Invaders. Tell me, how exactly did you and Chu Yunfei do it?” The Brigade Commander was still very curious. Li Yunlong actually succeeded in seizing an opportunity amidst danger, and it was against three Japanese Invaders Regiments.
“Brigade Commander, what’s so hard about that…” Li Yunlong began to boast about his glorious deeds.
“Fine, your wings have hardened, huh? You can even command Chu Yunfei now.” The Brigade Commander cursed, “Since you’re so awesome, I’ll give you another task.”
“What task?”
“This time we’re attacking the Jingtai Line. The Japanese Invaders will definitely send quite a few Reinforcements again. You figure out a way to get Chu Yunfei to come out and contain the Japanese Invaders Reinforcements for us.” The Brigade Commander said, “If you can do it, then I won’t hold your sneaking off this time against you.”
Chu Yunfei’s Jin Sui Army has five thousand men. If they can help contain the Japanese Invaders Reinforcements, that would be great.
“Hahaha.” Li Yunlong laughed heartily and patted his chest: “No problem, Brigade Commander. Isn’t it just getting Chu Yunfei to stir things up? Piece of cake, leave it to me!”
“I still need to make it clear to you in advance!” The Brigade Commander’s tone was serious, “I don’t care how you do it, and I don’t want to know. But one thing: if you let the Jin Sui Army lose, then I’ll…”
Before the Brigade Commander finished speaking, Li Yunlong arrogantly interrupted: “Brigade Commander, don’t worry. I guarantee Chu Yunfei won’t lose. Moreover, Brigade Commander, your vision is actually a bit small.”
“My vision is small? Explain.” the Brigade Commander asked.
“When we attack the Japanese Invaders’ Jingtai Line this time, it’ll make too much noise. Worst case, even the Japanese Invaders in Taiyuan will come as Reinforcements.” Li Yunlong said arrogantly, “So, just getting Chu Yunfei involved isn’t much. We need to pull in more Jin Sui Army, even the Direct Lineage side, drag them all in, and do a big one…”
The Brigade Commander was directly startled: “Li Yunlong, shut your damn mouth. Pretend I didn’t say anything just now!”
Give you a little sunshine, and you shine brightly!
Let you pull in Chu Yunfei, and you damn well want to make things this big every time. I really want to live a few more years.
“Ding Wei, after you go back with Li Yunlong, you station at Li Yunlong’s Regimental Headquarters. Watch him for me. Don’t let Li Yunlong cause trouble.” The Brigade Commander solemnly instructed Ding Wei.
“Yes, Brigade Commander!” Ding Wei nodded heavily.
Of course Ding Wei understood what the Brigade Commander meant.
With Li Yunlong stirring things up like this, the more Troops involved, the less pressure we’ll face from the Japanese Invaders Reinforcements.
But making this matter too big completely exceeds the Brigade Commander’s tolerance.
Having Ding Wei directly bring Troops to station at the Independent Regiment is partly to watch Li Yunlong, and partly…
Ding Wei understood the Brigade Commander’s meaning: if conditions allow, we’ll cooperate and do it!
Some things, even if the leadership doesn’t state them explicitly, we still need to appropriately analyze and figure out the leadership’s true intentions.
“You’ve worked hard too. Go back and rest. Get the Troops reorganized quickly. Once the shells from the Arsenal arrive, we’ll get to work right away.” The Brigade Commander let Li Yunlong and Ding Wei go back to rest.
Although the two of them rescued the Prisoners of War from the Concentration Camp and won their hearts, the Prisoners of War still need to be reorganized.
Their thoughts need to be addressed too.
Fighting the Japanese Invaders relies not on personal worship, but on national righteousness!
“Yes, Brigade Commander.” Li Yunlong and Ding Wei saluted the Brigade Commander and led the Troops back.
Back at the Brigade Headquarters, the Deputy Brigade Commander immediately asked expectantly: “Brigade Commander, is there really an Iron Smelting Plant? How many shells did we exchange at the Arsenal?”
“There is an Iron Smelting Plant, but with the 120th Division getting involved, now we and they each got thirty shells. Whoever can get Large Caliber Steel Pipes first can get another forty shells.” the Brigade Commander said.
“Getting seventy shells isn’t bad at all.” The Deputy Brigade Commander was very confident about us getting the Large Caliber Steel Pipes.
Hearing this, the Brigade Commander couldn’t help asking: “What’s up? Could it be that the Japanese Invaders have a Military Train carrying Large Caliber Steel Pipes?”
“No intelligence on that yet.” The Deputy Brigade Commander shook his head, “Li Yunlong snatched Large Caliber Steel Pipes once before. We just follow the same pattern.”
The Japanese Invaders’ Railway intelligence isn’t easy to get. Right now, we can only control the departure times of their Military Trains.
But what’s specifically loaded on the Military Trains is too hard.
The Japanese Invaders are too cautious. Our undercover agents have no chance to get close to the Carriages.
“Put aside the matter of snatching Large Caliber Steel Pipes for now. The most important thing right now is to figure out the specific cargo intelligence on the Japanese Invaders Military Trains.” The Brigade Commander’s tone was serious, “We can’t end up grabbing blindly like catching a eunuch. If luck is bad and we rob empty cars, that’d be a huge loss.”
“Brigade Commander, I understand what you mean. Mainly, the Japanese Invaders keep this intelligence too secret. In the short term, it’s tough.” The Deputy Brigade Commander said with a headache.
“Didn’t we capture two enemy undercover agents? One of them seems to work on the Japanese Invaders’ Railway, right?” The Brigade Commander remembered this.
“Brigade Commander, although this guy has talked, he’s very cunning. The intelligence he gives is thirty percent true and seventy percent false. We don’t have enough time to verify.” The Deputy Brigade Commander had an even bigger headache.
This bastard either doesn’t cooperate, and we execute him easily.
Or he cooperates honestly, saving time.
The most annoying are these cunning enemies who spit out thirty percent true and seventy percent false intelligence. We have to send people to verify each one, wasting time and manpower, and risking exposure for our people.
“Put pressure on him. As long as he doesn’t die, I don’t know anything. I don’t believe we can’t get valuable clues from him!” The Brigade Commander gritted his teeth. He hated such slippery fellows the most.
“Yes, Brigade Commander.” Hearing the Brigade Commander say this, the Deputy Brigade Commander gained confidence.
“Any reaction from Fujita Ichi’s side yet?” the Brigade Commander asked again.
“According to intelligence, the Japanese Invaders there are gathering Supplies to restore the vitality of Black Island Morita and other Troops. Fujita Ichi currently has no reaction.” The Deputy Brigade Commander answered, then asked suspiciously, “Brigade Commander, what’s wrong? Did this Fujita Ichi piss you off?”
The Deputy Brigade Commander could tell that when the Brigade Commander mentioned Fujita Ichi, his tone was a bit off.
This puzzled the Deputy Brigade Commander.
Before, every time we mentioned Fujita Ichi’s stupidity, you were always very happy, Brigade Commander.
Why not now?
“Li Yunlong successfully made Fujita Ichi’s bait that he used to fish us swallow it, but this Japanese Invader drew out the key parts inside in advance. You tell me, isn’t that infuriating!” The Brigade Commander said angrily.
“That happened?” The Deputy Brigade Commander, upon hearing this, immediately cursed along: “I thought this Fujita Ichi was really that stupid. Didn’t expect him to be quite cunning. Underestimated him.”
Then, the Deputy Brigade Commander said: “Should we deal with him then?”
Daring to toy with us, he’s asking for death!
“Attacking the Jingtai Line to snatch the Japanese Invaders Military Train is the most important. Leave this idiot Fujita Ichi aside for now, just keep an eye on him.” The Brigade Commander’s tone was indifferent. Honestly, although tricked by Fujita Ichi once, the Brigade Commander didn’t take this Japanese Invader seriously at all. He wasn’t worthy to be our opponent.
“Yes, Brigade Commander.”
