Chapter 46: Eager To Get Started
386 Brigade Headquarters
“Brigade Commander, it’s started, it’s started.”
The Deputy Brigade Commander woke up the Brigade Commander who was sleeping, “Hirata Ichiro has raised the reward conditions for our heavy cannons again. Whoever provides clues to the heavy cannons will have their position promoted three levels! Those Puppet Army traitors all got up overnight to work, all going crazy.”
Upon hearing this, the Brigade Commander laughed, “Position promoted three levels? It seems Li Yunlong this kid has irritated the Japanese Invaders badly again.”
In the Brigade Commander’s view, even promoting two levels would be very generous for Hirata Ichiro.
Promoting three levels, it was obvious that Li Yunlong this kid had used the Hell Cannon to poke the Japanese Invaders’ sore spot again, which was why Hirata Ichiro reacted this way.
“Definitely.” The Deputy Brigade Commander nodded and said, “I’ve already sent people to investigate, and we’ll soon find out what Li Yunlong this kid has done again.”
“No need to investigate, recall the manpower.” The Brigade Commander waved his hand, “Since these dog traitors are so eager to get our heavy cannon clues, let’s start casting the net. Remember this well: all traitors who are given sugar, make sure to secure the evidence firmly. Do you know what I mean?”
Li Yunlong this kid must be on his way back. Once he returns, just ask him, and we’ll know what this kid has done again.
“Of course I know. As long as they give us sugar, even just one grain, to the Japanese Invaders, they are collaborators.” What the Deputy Brigade Commander admired most was the Brigade Commander’s this move; it killed two birds with one stone.
It could get sugar and also hold leverage over those traitors.
With leverage, would those traitors dare not obey?
“Go, hurry up.” The Brigade Commander’s tone was still very serious, “Although I don’t know what Li Yunlong this kid has done again, I estimate the Japanese Invaders will definitely launch large-scale retaliation operations. Get as much sugar as possible. Once the arsenal produces the Hell Cannon shells, our pressure will be less.”
“Yes.” The Deputy Brigade Commander left.
The Brigade Commander was no longer sleepy and simply waited here at the Brigade Headquarters.
As the Brigade Commander expected, late into the night, he saw Li Yunlong bouncing back like he had eaten bee dung.
“Li Yunlong, how come only you this kid came back? Where is Ding Wei? Where are your troops?” the Brigade Commander asked.
“They took the stuff and went towards the arsenal first. I’m here to report to you.” Li Yunlong laughed, “We snatched the Japanese Invaders’ No. 5 Supply Station and got quite a bit of fuel.”
Upon hearing this, the Brigade Commander couldn’t help but pause, “Li Yunlong, you’re not joking with me, are you? You snatched the No. 5 Supply Station?”
The Brigade Commander was of course familiar with this No. 5 Supply Station; it was the fueling station for the Japanese Invaders’ mechanized troops.
No wonder Hirata Ichiro raised the reward conditions for heavy cannon clues to position promoted three levels; so that’s what happened.
Fuel was the lifeline of the Japanese Invaders’ mechanized troops!
Li Yunlong this kid had struck at the Japanese Invaders’ vital point; no wonder they went mad.
“Brigade Commander, when attacking Heyuan County Town, I only got one meal; that was too humiliating. So, I definitely had to regain my face.” Li Yunlong said seriously, “You know me, as long as I Li Yunlong make a move, I never return empty-handed; that would ruin my reputation!”
“Don’t I know you? If you don’t pick up something while walking, it’s a loss.” The Brigade Commander cursed, “You had a great time causing trouble, but I was worried sick for you this kid at the Brigade Headquarters. Afraid you’d poke a hole in the sky over Northwestern Shanxi.”
“Brigade Commander, didn’t I come back safe and sound? How dare I poke a hole in the sky over Northwestern Shanxi for you.” Li Yunlong wore a smiling face, “Brigade Commander, in the future, you really should give me more such opportunities; I can also…”
“Stop it, shut up!” The Brigade Commander immediately interrupted seriously, “From now on, without my orders, you stay put honestly, and don’t go anywhere!”
With the No. 5 Supply Station attacked, the Japanese Invaders would also try every means to track Li Yunlong’s trace.
At this time, Li Yunlong absolutely must not be let out.
“Yes, Brigade Commander.” Li Yunlong let out a big yawn. After messing around all night, he was sleepy too and temporarily didn’t want to go out and make trouble.
After resting well, he’d ask the Brigade Commander for autonomy for the next operation.
The Brigade Commander continued, “I won’t go to the arsenal side; you go negotiate with Li Muzhi yourself.”
Hirata Ichiro’s reward for our heavy cannon clues had driven the traitors crazy, and many details needed the Brigade Commander to personally steer, so the Brigade Commander couldn’t easily leave the Brigade Headquarters and had to stay there to hold the fort.
“Yes, Brigade Commander.” Li Yunlong nodded.
Thinking of something, Li Yunlong asked, “Brigade Commander, Ding Wei snatched quite a bit of money from Heyuan County Town. Have you taken back the cannon? According to merit, this cannon should be allocated to Ding Wei, right?”
“The cannon hasn’t been produced at the arsenal yet.” The Brigade Commander shook his head and glanced at Li Yunlong, “This money was really snatched by Ding Wei, not given by you this kid?”
“Brigade Commander, it’s really Ding Wei’s merit.” Li Yunlong nodded seriously.
“Alright then. Once the sugar is obtained and the Hell Cannon is delivered, I’ll summon you regiment commanders for a meeting.” The Brigade Commander nodded.
“Good, Brigade Commander.” Li Yunlong was overjoyed. Although the Brigade Commander didn’t say it explicitly, Ding Wei getting the Hell Cannon was basically secured.
Why did the Brigade Commander want to summon all the regiment commanders for a meeting? It was to motivate the subordinates!
Before, our stepmother-raised one was always used by the Brigade Commander as a negative example for criticism and education, telling us to learn well from the biological-mother-raised ones, which let the biological-mother-raised ones steal the show in front of us.
Now, our Independent Regiment has the Hell Cannon, and Ding Wei’s New First Regiment will soon get a cannon too. It was time for those biological-mother-raised ones to be used as negative examples, time for them to learn from us stepmother-raised ones; time for us stepmother-raised ones to steal the show.
Just thinking of Regiment Commander Cheng Xiazi of the 772 Regiment looking deflated then made him impatient with anticipation, hahaha.
“Brigade Commander, I’m off.” Li Yunlong left the Brigade Headquarters and caught up with the main force heading to the arsenal at the fastest speed.
Before Li Yunlong caught up with Ding Wei, his voice did first: “Old Ding, I congratulate you; your Hell Cannon is secured.”
Upon hearing this, Ding Wei said delightedly, “Old Li, you’re not joking, are you? I can really get the Hell Cannon?”
Whether attacking Heyuan County Town or hitting the No. 5 Supply Station, the power of this Hell Cannon had really hooked Ding Wei.
Looking at the grenade launcher mortars and such in the troops’ hands, Ding Wei felt they weren’t appealing at all.
A real man should be equipped with a Hell Cannon!
He hadn’t expected he really had this opportunity; he couldn’t believe it.
“Hahaha.”
Li Yunlong laughed twice and said, “No joke. The Brigade Commander said he’ll summon us regiment commanders for a meeting then, and for sure, the Brigade Commander will give you the cannon, to anger those biological-mother-raised ones to death.”
