Bright Sword: I am an undercover agent in the puppet army

Chapter 71: Li Yunlong acted like a rogue, and Chu Yunfei vomited blood: I actually killed the witness myself, and there is no evidence to prove my mistake.

Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "Brother Yunlong, you are too kind. I just arrived not long ago."

Li Yunlong said again: "I heard from our leader that Brother Yunfei, are you here to exchange and learn with our independent regiment this time?

Isn't this nonsense?

We, Old Li, are a rough man, but your brother Chu is not only a top student from the Whampoa Military Academy, but also a trusted and beloved general of Commander Yan.

Even if we want to exchange ideas and learn from each other, it should be our old Li who should come to visit us. There is no need to bother Brother Chu to come."

Chu Yunfei waved his hand and said, “Brother Yunlong, you are joking. When you killed Sakata Nobutsu with one shot at Cangyun Ridge and defeated the Sakata regiment, I have been yearning for you.

Later, you won victory after victory and helped my 358th Regiment escape danger twice in a row.

I'm afraid there are few who can match this military capability in the entire Second World War zone.

Last time you left in a hurry, Chu didn't even have time to thank you. This time I finally have time, firstly to learn from Brother Yunlong, and secondly to express my gratitude for Brother Yunlong's assistance."

"We are friendly forces and should help each other. Brother Chu, you are being too polite when you say this."

Li Yunlong smiled but was thinking in his heart, since you came to express your gratitude, why did you come empty-handed? This is clearly like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken, you have no good intentions.

After a brief chat, Li Yunlong took Chu Yunfei back to the regiment headquarters and asked Monk Wei to bring some boiled water.

That’s right, boiling water.

It’s not that Li Yunlong has no tea, he even has coffee. He is just pretending to be poor to pave the way for the subsequent negotiations.

"Brother Chu, I'm really sorry. The conditions in our Eighth Route Army are difficult. Unlike your Jinsui Army, which is the son of Commander Yan and has abundant wealth, we can only use boiled water instead of tea. Please forgive me if I have been negligent."

"There is no essential difference between tea and water. Both are used to quench thirst."

Chu Yunfei didn't think anything of it. He picked up the water cup and took a sip.

However, Chen Baitao, who was standing aside, gave Li Yunlong an unfriendly look.

You bastards, you have gained so many benefits in these few times, not to mention the benefits. There was a lot of tea in the three months' rations of our 358th Regiment alone.

You are clearly disgusting!

"By the way, Brother Chu has come from afar, so you probably haven't eaten yet, right?"

Without waiting for Chu Yunfei to speak, Li Yunlong instructed Monk Wei beside him: "Monk, bring me some baked potatoes."

"Yes, Captain."

Monk Wei responded and quickly brought a small basket of baked potatoes.

Li Yunlong took the basket and placed it on the Eight Immortals Table in front of him, which was supported by a wooden stick and had a missing leg, and said, "Brother Chu, our Eighth Route Army was raised by a stepmother, and the conditions were tough. The soldiers usually didn't have enough food, and they were all skinny and pale from hunger.

It's just this basket of baked potatoes, which the soldiers squeezed out specially to treat you after learning that you were coming.

I guess Brother Chu wouldn't mind, right?"

Chen Baitao's face became even uglier.

The face of the political commissar Zhao Gang beside him also became a little unnatural, and he complained in his heart: "Old Li, what are you doing? The brigade commander called and told him to treat Chu Yunfei well and not to neglect him, and you just treat him with a few baked potatoes?
If we tell others about this, won’t they laugh at our independent regiment’s hospitality? "

However, he would not try to undermine Li Yunlong at this time.

Chu Yunfei still didn't care, picked up a baked potato and started peeling it: "This potato is a good thing, it is rich in almost all the nutrients needed by the human body, and eating too much will not cause heartburn like sweet potatoes.

Starting in the 17th century, Europe experienced a population explosion, which was due not only to the Industrial Revolution but also to the fact that they had mastered the technology of growing potatoes.”

Li Yunlong pretended to be surprised and said, "Brother Chu is really knowledgeable. I am not so good as him. I am just a peasant who can't even read a single word."

...The two chatted briefly for a while.

Chu Yunfei suddenly changed the subject and said, "By the way, Brother Yunlong, last time I asked you to find out which friendly army unit of the Eighth Route Army helped our 358th Regiment find a place to destroy the Black Cloud Village. Have you found out?"

Li Yunlong: "Well... I asked around, and none of our 386th Brigade units have attacked Heiyun Village recently.

Brother Chu, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?

Perhaps it was one of your Jinsui Army’s troops that attacked Heiyun Village.”

Seeing that the other party still refused to admit it, Chu Yunfei simply got straight to the point and said, "But, why did I hear that it was your independent regiment, Brother Yunlong, that destroyed the Black Cloud Village?"

Li Yunlong said calmly, "Brother Chu, who told you this? Slander, it's blatant slander!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfei almost vomited blood. He didn't expect Li Yunlong to be so shameless. Even after he said so much, the other party still refused to admit it.

If there was no evidence, would he come and ask for it in person?
Originally, Li Yunlong sent troops to reinforce the 358th Regiment twice in a row, and Chu Yunfei thought that he was an upright and responsible person.

I didn't expect that this guy is such a scoundrel!
Chu Yunfei was a man who cared about his reputation and would not do something like swearing directly. However, Chen Baitao, who was remembering the advice of the advisor Fang Ligong, did not care so much.

He slammed the table and stood up, scolding: "Li, our regiment commander wants to talk to you nicely. Don't be so ungrateful and act like a spoiled child in front of our 358th Regiment. You must have come to the wrong place!"

Monk Wei immediately glared at the other party and was about to rush up to teach the other party a lesson, but Li Yunlong raised his hand to stop him.

Li Yunlong turned his head to look at Chen Baitao, and asked Chu Yunfei beside him: "Brother Chu, who is this?"

Chu Yunfei: "He is Chen Baitao, the second battalion commander of my 358th Regiment."

Li Yunlong: "So he's just a battalion commander. With such an arrogant attitude, I thought he was Brother Chu's superior."

After saying this, Li Yunlong's face suddenly darkened: "Captain Chen, do you still remember the regulations? Do you know what the crime is for disobeying superiors?"

Chen Baitao remained unmoved and said, "But this is the order of the National Army."

Li Yunlong: "Am I not a member of the National Army? Tell me, is the 18th Army a part of the National Army's battle sequence?"

Chen Baitao suddenly became dispirited. He didn't dare to respond to this, otherwise he didn't know how much Li Yunlong would accuse him.

Li Yunlong said unyieldingly: "For Brother Chu's sake, I will not use my power to bully you. I will talk to you rationally."

"Everything needs evidence. You said our independent regiment wiped out the Black Cloud Village and robbed your 358th Regiment of its supplies. Do you have any evidence?"

Chen Baitao was speechless for a moment when asked, and Chu Yunfei was extremely annoyed. If he had known earlier, he should not have wiped out the bandits in Heiyun Village, but arrested them and pointed them out to Li Yunlong.

As a result, he killed the witness himself, leaving no evidence to prove his guilt.

Li Yunlong continued: "Captain Chen, as far as I know, your 358th Regiment is a super reinforced regiment with more than 5000 soldiers and an artillery battalion.

Let alone sending out the entire regiment, even if it's just your Second Battalion, it can easily wipe out the bandits in Black Cloud Village, right?"

"It's natural!"

Chen Baitao was so angry that he didn't expect that Li Yunlong had already set a trap for him, so he jumped in without thinking.

Of course, what he said is true.

Although his Second Battalion was not as strong as the First Battalion, it had nearly a thousand people when fully staffed. As Yan Laoxi's direct troops, it was also well-equipped.

Dealing with just a few hundred bandits is naturally a piece of cake.
