Chapter 145: Not A Moment’s Peace!
The Brigade Commander returned to Brigade Headquarters, and the Deputy Brigade Commander immediately came up, handing him the report: “Brigade Commander, this operation involved not only our Division Headquarters, but also many troops from the Jin Sui Army and Direct Line Army. Take a look, this is the preliminary report.”
The Brigade Commander took it and looked, his expression still a bit shocked: “So many troops joined the battle, the effect is no less than launching a major campaign.”
It wasn’t just the 129th Division side; the 115th Division and 120th Division also took the opportunity to fish for profits.
As for the Jin Sui Army and Direct Line Army, they all fished in troubled waters, each gaining something.
It was precisely because so many troops got involved that Old Zhang’s transportation team was indirectly covered and smoothly entered the mountains.
“Exactly, even launching a major campaign might not have such a good effect.” The Deputy Brigade Commander was very pleased, “The most clever part is that Gao Liujin from the 120th Division also attacked the Japanese invaders’ military train, plus Li Yunlong this kid and Ding Wei attacked Yuehua Station on the 120th Division side, drawing all the Japanese invaders’ reinforcement troops over there. It’s just…”
The Deputy Brigade Commander paused, then said: “It’s just that the 120th Division side is cursing, the Japanese invaders’ reinforcement troops all went over there, and they were forced to relocate.”
The Brigade Commander said indifferently: “Relocation is nothing, we’ve fought the Japanese invaders for so many years, we’re experienced in relocating. Avoid the enemy’s sharp edge, wait for the Japanese soldiers’ momentum to pass, then relocate back, that’s it.”
In his heart, the Brigade Commander was still very satisfied with Li Yunlong this kid’s action.
It’s just that this bastard made it a bit too big.
He actually dared to attack Yuehua Station, his guts are getting fatter and fatter.
And that Gao Liujin, he actually dared to attack the military train too.
Such a good military train, why didn’t you say hello to Li Muzhi’s side in advance.
Not disassembling that military train back is really a waste.
However, the Brigade Commander soon felt relieved.
With so many Japanese invaders’ reinforcement troops drawn over there, even if they wanted to disassemble the military train, there probably wouldn’t be time, they could only destroy it.
After this battle, the Japanese invaders will definitely protect their military trains more targetedly.
That is to say, attacking military trains again is still feasible.
After all, the Japanese invaders can’t deploy heavy troops and fortresses along the entire railway.
Our Hell Cannon has strong assault capabilities, getting close to the railway is still very easy.
But disassembling it, the Japanese invaders probably won’t give that much time.
“Exactly, in this operation, their 120th Division also got quite a bit.” The Deputy Brigade Commander nodded, then still somewhat troubled: “There’s just another matter that caught us off guard.”
“What matter?” the Brigade Commander asked.
“Division Headquarters called, asking if we’ve eaten leopard’s gall, daring to sell the Division Commander’s Hell Cannon. Brigade Commander, you’re back, they want you to go to Division Headquarters right away.” The Deputy Brigade Commander looked puzzled at the Brigade Commander, “Brigade Commander, did you do this?”
The Brigade Commander, upon hearing this, glared: “What, I sold the Division Commander’s cannon? How come I’ve never heard of this?”
The Deputy Brigade Commander nodded: “Yeah, that’s the Division Commander, our superior, how could the Brigade Commander do such a thing.”
Then, the Deputy Brigade Commander said: “I’ve thought about it, could it be Li Yunlong this kid causing trouble again, but then I thought, if even the Brigade Commander doesn’t dare, Li Yunlong shouldn’t dare either, right?”
The Brigade Commander, upon hearing this, immediately cursed: “It can’t be that Li Yunlong this bastard is selling the Division Commander’s cannon behind my back, how dare he!”
This bastard really dared to target the Division Commander’s cannon.
You damn dog, go ahead and scheme, but you actually sold it, isn’t this completely done for.
The Division Commander isn’t unreasonable, if you Li Yunlong take the cannon over, in a sense it’s still the Division Commander’s, after all the artillery is in subordinates’ hands.
But selling the Hell Cannon, that’s completely different in nature, it’s someone else’s now!
Not to mention, the Hell Cannon is rare in number, it’s now important artillery cover for our army, you Li Yunlong are tired of living or your brain is waterlogged, daring to sell the cannon!!!
The Deputy Brigade Commander questioned: “But Li Yunlong is on the battlefield, doesn’t even have time to commit the crime.”
“He has no time to commit the crime doesn’t mean he has no opportunity!” The Brigade Commander angrily rebuked, “Worst case, it’s really this damn dog causing trouble behind my back, I was even thinking this kid fought well this time, give him a commendation or something, just got back, haven’t even caught my breath, and run into this infuriating matter, he doesn’t let anyone rest for a moment!”
Then, the Brigade Commander looked at the Deputy Brigade Commander: “Did Division Headquarters say who exactly Li Yunlong is selling to, and what the operation details are?”
“No, just called and cursed a storm, telling you to go to Division Headquarters right after returning.” The Deputy Brigade Commander said.
“Li Yunlong this bastard!” The Brigade Commander was so angry his teeth itched, fist clenched tight, wishing he could immediately string up Li Yunlong this damn dog and beat him.
But since Division Headquarters is furious and specifically called for the Brigade Commander, he can’t not go.
So, the Brigade Commander could only say to the Deputy Brigade Commander: “Then I’ll go to Division Headquarters right now, you wait for Li Yunlong this damn dog to return, immediately grab him and lock him in the detention room, don’t let him sleep, wait for me to come back.”
Damn it, tossed all night, I come back wanting to sleep and can’t, have to go to Division Headquarters right away.
You Li Yunlong come rolling back, you won’t get to sleep either!
“What about Ding Wei?” the Deputy Brigade Commander asked.
“Let him go rest.” The Brigade Commander, mentioning Ding Wei, had his anger subside a lot.
This time Li Yunlong fought well, definitely because Ding Wei cooperated well.
And something like selling the cannon, eighty percent it’s Li Yunlong this damn dog doing it behind Ding Wei’s back.
That is to say, Ding Wei is unaware.
If he knew, he would definitely report it.
“Got it.” The Deputy Brigade Commander nodded.
The Brigade Commander then took the guard troops and immediately rode to Division Headquarters.
……
“Old Ding, that scholar guy got dog’s luck and snagged over a dozen little dogs, we gotta hurry.”
On the way back to Brigade Headquarters, Li Yunlong leaned close to Ding Wei and said, “Didn’t know these things were so valuable before, now that we do, we can’t lag behind. That damn scholar is insidious, took advantage of us not being there to overstep, if we don’t hurry, he might clean out all our little dogs here.”
“And cats!” Ding Wei added, “We gotta hurry and corner the market on those too.”
“Yeah, exactly.” Li Yunlong nodded, then cursed, “Now Old Zhang’s logistics is bulging, warehouse full of stuff, if rats ruin the grain or chew up things, with Old Zhang’s stingy temper, he might very well spread the losses to our combat troops, we can’t let Old Zhang take that advantage.”
“Right, can’t let Old Zhang take advantage of us.” Ding Wei deeply agreed.
When the two arrived at Brigade Headquarters, they clearly felt the atmosphere there was off.
Li Yunlong strangely asked the headquarters guard: “We clearly won a victory returning, why isn’t the Brigade Commander coming out to welcome us?”
“Regimental Commander Li, the Brigade Commander did return overjoyed, but for some reason flew into a huge temper at headquarters, now he’s already ridden off quickly, seems like to Division Headquarters.” The guard explained.
“Brigade Commander went to Division Headquarters?” Li Yunlong was stunned, suspicious, “Could something big have happened at Division Headquarters?”
This time, many participating troops got involved, lots of people fished for profits.
But that doesn’t mean no losses.
Could there be major losses at Division Headquarters?
Making the delighted Brigade Commander change color.
“Don’t know.” The guard shook his head.
The Deputy Brigade Commander got the notice and quickly came out, directly shouting: “Person, lock Li Yunlong in the detention room for me.”
The Deputy Brigade Commander’s move immediately stunned Ding Wei beside him.
We clearly returned victorious, haven’t even reported yet, and the moment we arrive, first thing is to lock Old Li in the detention room.
Ding Wei couldn’t help looking at the Deputy Brigade Commander: “Deputy Brigade Commander, what’s going on, we…”
Ding Wei’s words unfinished, the Deputy Brigade Commander cursed loudly: “Ding Wei, looks like you really don’t know, Li Yunlong this damn dog, he’s selling the Division Commander’s Hell Cannon!”
The Deputy Brigade Commander’s voice roared very loud, this time everyone at headquarters, including the guards, heard it.
Li Yunlong is selling the Division Commander’s cannon!!!!
Instantly, everyone’s gazes converged on Li Yunlong the protagonist.
No joke, right, Regimental Commander Li, you really dare?
Aren’t you afraid of getting shot?
Even if you’re selling Hell Cannon, why not sell your own, instead selling the Division Commander’s, isn’t that making things even bigger.
If you sell your own Hell Cannon, maybe there’s some leeway.
But selling the Division Commander’s cannon, that’s like the God of Longevity hanging himself, tired of living long.
Ding Wei, hearing the Deputy Brigade Commander, was even more baffled, turned to Li Yunlong: “Old Li, when did you do this?”
Li Yunlong’s been with me the whole time, always out in action, where’d this kid get the chance to sell the Division Commander’s cannon?
Of course, in his heart, Ding Wei was still extremely shocked.
Earlier, when Li Yunlong wanted Old Kong’s cannon from the Division Commander, Ding Wei thought it was mostly joking.
After all, even the Brigade Commander doesn’t dare, how could he Li Yunlong.
And now, Li Yunlong this gutsy guy actually sold it!
This makes the nature even more serious.
Ding Wei couldn’t help shifting two steps aside, putting some distance from Li Yunlong, afraid of being implicated.
Though our comrade bond is ironclad, this matter I really can’t cover for you.
Facing the Deputy Brigade Commander’s roar, Ding Wei’s suspicion, and the headquarters people’s gazes, Li Yunlong immediately cursed in his heart: “You Old Zhang, I kindly pull business for your logistics arsenal, you damn sure didn’t do the right thing.”
Facing these people’s looks, Li Yunlong said seriously: “Don’t wrongly put the shit pot on my head, that’s our Division Commander, how could we dare do this, this must be logistics Old Zhang…”
Before Li Yunlong finished, the Deputy Brigade Commander interrupted: “Li Yunlong, the Brigade Commander has already been called by the Division Commander, you now have two choices, one is you obediently go stay in the detention room. The other, you say it’s not you, then go to Division Headquarters right now, help the Brigade Commander explain clearly, it’s a misunderstanding.”
Li Yunlong let out a huge yawn, tossed all night, I’m really sleepy.
Not going to Division Headquarters.
What would I go to Division Headquarters for.
To take the Division Commander and Brigade Commander’s mixed doubles beating?
Li Muzhi only gave ten cases of grenades as mental compensation, why should I take such big pressure.
So, Li Yunlong cooperated: “I’ll go to the detention room then.”
Finished, Li Yunlong turned to Zhang Dabiao and others: “I’ll stay at headquarters temporarily, take the troops back.”
“Regiment Commander, did you really sell the Division Commander’s Hell Cannon?” Zhang Dabiao and others crowded to Li Yunlong, incredulous.
But had to believe.
If Regiment Commander Li Yunlong didn’t do it, why would he willingly go to headquarters detention room, he definitely has a guilty conscience.
“I didn’t sell, where would I sell.” Li Yunlong irritably said, “I was definitely pitted by Old Zhang that damn dog, I can’t stay in this detention room for nothing, I’ll go in first, then go find him Old Zhang for compensation.”
“Regiment Commander, then we’ll head back first.” Zhang Dabiao and others shrugged, looks like there’s some transaction between our regiment commander and the Head of Logistics, not for us to meddle in.
Better take the troops back to rest.
“Ding Wei, you go rest too.” Watching Li Yunlong’s troops return, the Deputy Brigade Commander said politely to Ding Wei.
This attitude compared to speaking to Li Yunlong was worlds apart.
“Yes, Deputy Brigade Commander.” Ding Wei nodded, slipped away, taking troops back to New First Regiment station.
You Old Li stirred up this huge mess, don’t blame brother for not being righteous, really can’t cover for you.
