Chapter 61: This Is The Brigade Commander’s Attitude
Facing this question from Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang said seriously: “What’s wrong, do you think your cognition of Hell Cannon Shells is better than Factory Director Li’s?”
“No, no, how can I compare with Younger Brother Li, he’s a genius among geniuses.” Li Yunlong waved his hands repeatedly, “Comparing me to him, isn’t that just wasting talent?”
“That’s exactly it, so you should obediently carry out the Brigade Commander’s orders.” Zhao Gang said, “I’ve already gathered the troops, we’re setting off now, and when we pass by the New First Regiment, we’ll bring Regimental Commander Ding along too.”
“Attacking a small Scrap Yard with four Hell Cannon Shells and mobilizing two regiments, isn’t that giving the Japanese Invaders too much face!” Li Yunlong questioned.
“You worry about whether the Brigade Commander gives the Japanese Invaders face or not, just hurry up and execute the orders.” Zhao Gang instructed, “The Brigade Commander said to take the Scrap Yard and withdraw immediately, don’t give the Japanese Invaders’ encirclement troops in Ping’an County Town any opportunity.”
“Got it, got it.” Li Yunlong nodded repeatedly.
The troops set off quickly, Li Yunlong took out the map and began studying it.
Using four shells all on the Scrap Yard is a bit too wasteful.
The junk in that Scrap Yard isn’t worth four shells, one shell can take the Scrap Yard, why can’t the remaining three shells be used on more valuable targets? It won’t delay the test anyway.
What?
Am I disobeying the Brigade Commander’s orders?
No problem, I understand our Brigade Commander, as long as we win the battle, it’s fine.
As long as it doesn’t delay the Arsenal’s test of these new shells, and we take the Scrap Yard along the way, fishing more stuff back, the Brigade Commander will just grin from ear to ear.
The troops arrived at the New First Regiment headquarters, Ding Wei of the New First Regiment had already received the Brigade Headquarters orders, the New First Regiment’s troops were ready early, and they came out together with Li Yunlong.
Seeing Li Yunlong studying the map, how could Ding Wei not know what Li Yunlong was thinking, Ding Wei said solemnly: “Old Li, the Brigade Commander seriously emphasized only to attack the Scrap Yard, not for you to do anything else, don’t make it hard for your old comrade.”
“Old Ding, don’t worry, how could Elder Brother I make it hard for you, absolutely not.” Li Yunlong answered Ding Wei seriously, but his eyes never left the map.
“So, what have you figured out?” Ding Wei didn’t believe it and asked.
“Suppose we have four shells now, if we can find a way to lure out the Japanese Invaders’ heavy troops from Ping’an County Town, couldn’t we attack into Ping’an County Town and grab a haul…” Li Yunlong didn’t finish his words.
Zhao Gang said sternly from the side: “Old Li, how do you treat the Brigade Commander’s orders like wind past your ears? Didn’t I say, only hit the Scrap Yard, not for you to do anything else! You really dare to go hit Ping’an County Town!!!”
Ding Wei said to Zhao Gang: “Zhao Gang, you came to the 386th Brigade a bit later than me, you don’t quite understand our Brigade Commander’s style yet.”
Ding Wei did indeed come to the 386th Brigade before Zhao Gang.
In the Battle of Cangyun Ridge, Li Yunlong was removed from his position as New First Regiment Regiment Commander, Li Yunlong was sent to the Clothing Factory to do embroidery, and Ding Wei took over as New First Regiment Regiment Commander.
Kong Jie was shaved a 200-to-1 goose egg by Yamamoto Ichiki, Li Yunlong was yelled at by the Brigade Commander to go be Independent Regiment Regiment Commander, and then Zhao Gang came to the Independent Regiment to partner with Li Yunlong.
“The Brigade Commander’s style?” Zhao Gang looked at Ding Wei suspiciously.
“Don’t you think, for just a small Scrap Yard, is it worth the Brigade Commander using four shells? Even for testing, it’s a bit wasteful, we could totally find two more targets.” Ding Wei analyzed for Zhao Gang, “Besides, for a small Scrap Yard, is it worth mobilizing two regiments?”
Zhao Gang defended: “The reason the Brigade Commander called you along is he’s worried I alone can’t hold down Li Yunlong, so he called you too.”
“Zhao Gang, the problem is right here.” Ding Wei said pointedly, “Testing four shells, attacking the Scrap Yard, this task is very simple, the Brigade Commander still has one Hell Cannon on hand, he could totally have the 772nd Regiment take that cannon to do the task, why insist on having Li Yunlong do it. Does the Brigade Commander not know what kind of person Li Yunlong is, does the Brigade Commander not know Li Yunlong often causes trouble, does the Brigade Commander not know…”
Zhao Gang was a bit stunned by Ding Wei’s words, it did seem like that.
Li Yunlong loves causing trouble, he’s already on the record in front of Headquarters Leader.
The Brigade Commander clearly knows what kind of guy Li Yunlong is, yet still has him do this job, could it be, this really is the Brigade Commander’s attitude?
Seeing Zhao Gang stunned, Li Yunlong immediately pretended to shout from the side: “Old Ding, you Scheming Advisor stop fooling Old Zhao. Old me just glanced at the map a couple times, how could I really go hit Ping’an County Town. This time out, I’m being the good boy, no one stop me from attacking the Scrap Yard to test the four shells, you two don’t make it hard for old me!”
In his heart, Li Yunlong still really admired Old Ding.
Look at Old Ding’s awareness, after doing a wave with us at Heyuan County Town and tasting the sweetness, his awareness shot up like a rocket.
If it were Kong Er Lengzi, that blockhead brain of his would be hopeless.
He, Kong Er Lengzi, is only fit to be a Coal Miner.
“Cut it out, Old Li, don’t act like you’ve got the best of both worlds, this is ‘near ink turns black’!” Ding Wei glanced at Li Yunlong, “Hanging with you, old me got stained black too.”
Zhao Gang immediately agreed with Ding Wei’s words: “Indeed near ink turns black, I used to not touch a drop of alcohol, and wouldn’t say dirty words. After partnering with this Li Yunlong not long, look, I learned to drink, and dirty words jump out at the drop of a hat. I’m even thinking, if I run into old classmates from Yanjing University again, will they still recognize me.”
“Yo, you two are wearing the same pants now.” Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei and Zhao Gang in surprise.
“Go go go, Li Yunlong, stop playing dumb, hurry up and tell us your plan.” Ding Wei urged.
Zhao Gang also looked at Li Yunlong: “Old Li, tell us.”
“Isn’t it just hitting Ping’an County Town, the key is luring out the Japanese Invaders’ heavy troops inside, and we need to figure out how to contain the Japanese Invaders’ mechanized troops and cavalry, otherwise, our two legs can’t outrun their wheels and hooves.” Li Yunlong boasted confidently.
“First say how to lure out the Japanese Invaders’ heavy troops?” Ding Wei asked.
“Simple, we go hit Heyuan County Town again, the Japanese Invaders in Ping’an County Town will definitely come to reinforce.” Li Yunlong said casually.
“Hit Heyuan County Town again?” Ding Wei paused, cursed: “You really treat Heyuan County Town like a public toilet, huh? We go hit it again, the Japanese Invaders will lose it for sure!”
Ancient saying: Once is one, twice is two, third time!
The previous two attacks on Heyuan County Town already got the Japanese Invaders extremely pissed.
Now we go hit it again, the Japanese Invaders will explode with rage for sure.
The Japanese Invaders’ heavy troops in Ping’an County Town will absolutely rush out to reinforce at the first moment, no doubt about it.
This Li Yunlong really knows how to make the Japanese Invaders hate him!
