Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 597 I Inspect the Troops You Are About to Sweep Away
"What old lady is worth your going to pick up?" Li Yunlong's eyes widened: "And you want my people to go. Can you mobilize my army?"

"I am a member of a local security group. Will they trust me when I go to pick someone up? When they see my soldiers, will they know whether I am picking someone up or robbing them?"

He Songling turned a blind eye to Li Yunlong's anger and said, "I'm looking for the people sent by Lao Zhao. What's the matter? You, the regiment commander, are allowed to sneak out and attack the enemy without telling the political commissar, but Lao Zhao, the political commissar, is not allowed to mobilize the soldiers in the regiment to carry out the mission?"

"No! You you you..."

Li Yunlong was so anxious that he slammed the table and stood up. He was not afraid of going deep into the city occupied by the Japanese alone, but now he looked extremely anxious: "Old He, Old He, how could you do this? I, Li Yunlong, thought I was pretty good to you. I thought we were brothers, but you went to tell on me to that kid, Old Zhao?"

"You're not nice to me at all. You usually eat my food and use my things. The food in your mouth and the gun in your hand, all of them are mine. What have you given me?"

In the original novel, Li Yunlong is thick-skinned, shameless and mercenary, like a bandit and a profiteer. Except for the brigade commander, Zhao Gang, Kong Jie and other people of the same rank as him can't beat him at all. But He Songling is different. Profiteer? Why don't you ask who is the number one profiteer in the world now! Do you understand the value of the world's richest man?
"I'm telling you, Li Yunlong, you just have to admit your mistake. When I told Lao Zhao about this, I was using you to find him a talent, bring him some wine and food, and let him command the operation behind your back in exchange for him not reporting to his superiors. Otherwise, Lao Zhao will report you to the brigade commander in a telegram, and you'll die."

"Hey!"

Li Yunlong was shocked at this, and then his dog face changed from furious to full of smiles, with wrinkles around his eyes. He held He Songling's hands with both hands and said:
"Old He, look, I told you that we are brothers, and you must not cheat me. I, Li Yunlong, have said that I will never forget your kindness in this life, and I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"

"It will be more convincing if you open your teeth instead of grinding them." He Songling shook off Li Yunlong's rough hands and said to the insider, "Don't be nervous. Just say what you need to say. When we inspect the troops outside the city, we will send you away directly."

"Ah? Oh oh..." Wang Shusheng thought to himself, what kind of person is this? He comes here to inspect the army. Are you a senior officer of the Japanese?

But now that things have come to this, he can only say: "Captain Hirata Ichiro held a birthday party at Juxianlou today. It was originally a matter of Heyuan County, and only officers above the rank of second lieutenant in the city and officers of the Imperial Army would come to attend, but somehow, martial law was suddenly imposed, as if a big Japanese figure was coming.

I heard that the colonels of the nearby Luye Regiment and two major general officers are coming here."

"Just to welcome this kid. If it weren't for the remoteness of northwest Shanxi, the high-ranking Japanese officials would have come, and the lieutenant general and general would have come. However, even so, I'm afraid they will have to come in a few days to continue to invite this kid."

Li Yunlong said with disdain: "Don't talk about that, talk about something more important."

"Okay, okay." Wang Shusheng was almost scared to death when he heard this. Who is this person in front of him? He is just a platoon leader of a puppet army who defected to our army. Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?
"It was originally planned that tomorrow, the Japanese would go to the countryside to clean up the area. The main force of the Japanese garrison in the city, the Military Police, would be the auxiliary force, and the Road and Field Army stationed in Yangquan would cooperate with the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army to carry out the mopping-up operation. The target was the Dagushan area where Chu Yunfei was stationed."

"You have quite a big appetite." Li Yunlong sipped his tea and laughed, "I was wondering why Chu Yunfei couldn't sit still and asked me to come to the city for tea. I was wondering why he had so much time to spare, ha!"

"This is just the original plan." The insider shook his head. "Now it seems that two major generals will come, at least a brigade commander, and two brigades may be sent. Then the intensity and scope of the sweep will be increased. I'm afraid that our puppet army will be useless." Wang Shusheng added. "No. I will definitely not be the one who directly leads the troops. If two brigade commanders come, the commander, staff officer, adjutant and the like of the Luye Regiment will not be invited separately." He Songling shook his head and said, "Remember the Japanese observation group that you and Chu Yunfei killed? It should be similar to that."

"I see. That's easy then." Li Yunlong chuckled. "Just shoot those bastards!"

Wang Shusheng really wanted to ask how dare you say that on the street, but it was obvious that he didn't have the courage.

"Let's go out of the city first and inspect the Japanese army."

He Songling took three people with him and went to inspect incognito from inside the city to outside the city. Don't say that although the puppet army is just a niche for farting and adding to the wind, the troops of the Japanese headquarters are really well-organized, well-trained, and their weapons and equipment are much better than our army.

Li Yunlong was drooling at the sight.

"Old He, is there any way to kill these bastards and take all the equipment back to us?"

"Just calm down. If you kill the officers, the troops will definitely be on martial law. You can't get such a good thing by killing officers and stealing their equipment. If you really have the ability to do this now, the Japanese would have driven us out long ago."

He Songling mocked Li Yunlong's wild idea: "Not only can you not move, but your troops that have been divided into small units should also keep quiet recently, and don't let others injure them seriously. We didn't lose many people in the mopping-up operation, and it would not be worth it if hundreds of people died this time."

"Stop talking." Li Yunlong glanced at the enemy camp behind him unwillingly, "Humph, these territories and equipment will have to be returned to Lao Zhong sooner or later."

"Yeah, our territory was occupied by these bastards, how can we tolerate that?"

He Songling agreed with him and turned to Wang Shusheng and said, "Okay, follow me. I'll ask the Japanese officers for a permit. You can take your platoon with you. If you trust someone, you can take more, but no more than a company. You can take more weapons and equipment."

"Ah?" The insider in the puppet army was still confused and even doubted whether the world in front of him was real: "Where should I go?"

"You go west along this road. There is a Duanjiagou at the mountain pass. The people of the independent regiment are there. When you get there, remember to throw away your guns, kneel on the ground and shout surrender. If you disturb the people, I will shoot you when I go back." He Songling warned.

"Yes, yes, sir, don't worry, we have joined the Eighth Route Army from today on."
