Bright Sword: From Northwest Shanxi to Shangganling

Chapter 262 Li Yunlong's legs were slapped red

Yangcun.

After reading Chen Chengxing's letter, Li Yunlong couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, Chen Chengxing is the guy who understands me."

"What good news makes you so happy?" Kong Jie asked from the side.

"Well, nothing." Li Yunlong said casually.

"This is not a counterattack by the Japanese. The main forces of the Eighth Route Army are all on the periphery, and the headquarters' defense is somewhat empty."

"Old Chen asked me to send more troops to the territories of other regiments and take this opportunity to start a side business."

"This is a legitimate opportunity to start a side business." Li Yunlong said with a smile.

The mission of the independent regiment is to protect the safety of the headquarters. We can’t let the headquarters be threatened, right?
"Don't be happy. I think it's useless." Kong Jie took two puffs of his pipe.

"The main force of the Eighth Route Army has already reached the periphery. How can the devils suddenly appear in our hinterland?"

"Old Kong, I'm not saying anything harsh on you, but you're not alert at all." Li Yunlong glanced at Kong Jie.

"Have you forgotten how the Independence Regiment was attacked?"

Li Yunlong didn't know how valuable Yamamoto's special forces were, but since the Japanese could sneak in once, they could sneak in twice.

The military forces in this area are now even more depleted than before. If the Japanese really sneak in, it will be a big trouble.

After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Kong Jie was so angry that his nose was crooked.

This is really a case of bringing up something that is not related to the topic.

"You decide for yourself. I'm just the deputy leader, so I'll just listen to your orders."

Kong Jie stopped smoking, tapped his shoe soles, and left the room.

"Hey Lao Kong, Lao Kong! That's not what I meant! Lao Kong"

Li Yunlong looked at Kong Jie who left angrily and could only scratch his head helplessly.

He really didn't mean that.
For the next few days, Li Yunlong sent out a large number of reconnaissance troops.

Although he didn't gain anything, he still didn't stop.

I'm free anyway, so I might as well try it out.

Li Yunlong had nothing to do, so he decided to build up some foundation for the independent regiment.

Since there is no opportunity to have a side job, I can only find a place to make some money.

"Old Kong, you stay at home. I'm going to the logistics department to get some things."

"You? You're so shameless, but will they give you anything if you go there?" Kong Jie was a little unconvinced.

When he went to the logistics department before, he didn't even get an extra military uniform.

"Zhang Wanhe, the head of the logistics department, is from Dabie Mountain and is my fellow villager. How dare he not help?"

Who is Li Yunlong? He is known for being a tough guy and never makes a mistake when he attacks.

Just by operating the sewing machine, I managed to get 300 new military uniforms.

Kong Jie was skeptical about Li Yunlong's confidence.

But there's no harm in trying, there's nothing to lose anyway.

Li Yunlong led the transport team to the logistics department.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Yunlong saw Zhang Wanhe who was busy.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang." Li Yunlong greeted.

"Hey, isn't this Captain Li? Are you here to return my 300 sets of military uniforms?"

"What military uniform? I'm here to ask my fellow villagers for help." Li Yunlong looked confused.

"What's the deal?"

Zhang Wanhe didn't really think about getting his military uniform back.

Who is Li Yunlong? After you put the money into his pocket, you still want to take it out? That's impossible.

"A little help, a little help. Just bring me 100 boxes of grenades made in that area." Li Yunlong said.

The arsenal is now doing very well, with no shortage of fertilizer, powder, explosives and steel.

Moreover, it was made in the border area using high explosives. Although its power was much lower than the Japanese melon grenade, it was still pretty good.

Li Yunlong doesn't dislike it at all now

"100 boxes? Are you a bandit? You are too evil-minded."

"No, not even a single box." Zhang Wanhe waved his hands repeatedly.

Zhang Wanhe was frightened by Li Yunlong's huge mouth.

When have so many grenades been allocated to a regiment?

"Look, I've heard a long time ago that the Minister of Logistics Zhang Wanhe is not actually from Dabie Mountain. He fled from Shanxi to escape famine."

"I didn't believe it at first, but now I do. You're really stingy. That's not a gold ingot. Can you have a baby if you keep it?"

"I told you, if you don't give it to me today, I won't leave!"

"You still have to provide meals and wine!" Li Yunlong sat there and prepared to start making excuses.

Even if the king of heaven comes today, you have to take these grenades back.

"You are the team leader, aren't you being a rogue?" Zhang Wanhe said with a smile.

"If everyone in your group is so soft and hard, will I still be the head of logistics?"

"But it seems that it's not easy for you to deal with the mess in the independent regiment. How about I give you 30 boxes?" Zhang Wanhe said.

Although the headquarters arsenal was not very large, it could not support the 40-strong Eighth Route Army.

However, the monthly production of hand grenades can now reach 1. After deducting the normal supplies to various troops, he can still provide 30 boxes.

"Okay, okay." Li Yunlong nodded repeatedly.

His initial expectation was 20 boxes, and now there are 10 more boxes. Li Yunlong expressed his satisfaction.

"Don't worry, I have a condition."

"How about you get me a Japanese sword when you fight?" Zhang Wanhe added. He was a logistics staff and could not go to the battlefield, so naturally he did not have any captured weapons.

As for the command swords seized from various troops, except for a small number that were kept, the rest were basically melted into molten iron.

Moreover, these knives are public property and he cannot take them into his own hands.

"Well, what do I do? I can't get Yoshio Shinozuka's sword, but it's no problem for me to get you a lieutenant's sword." Li Yunlong took the responsibility.

This thing can be captured in a war, so the officer's sword is no big deal.

If all else fails, two better lieutenant's swords will do.

Just when Li Yunlong was asking Zhang Wanhe for grenades.

The logistics escort team that came with Li Yunlong also started wandering around.

No matter where Li Yunlong goes now, he will look for opportunities to start a side job.

After the independent regiment's counter-mopping-up operation in Yunling, it suffered severe equipment losses.

Wanjia Town was taken over by Chen Chengxing in advance, so Li Yunlong is now eager to find opportunities for development.

On the top of the hill, a soldier rubbed his eyes as he looked into the distance.

"Squad leader, why is the color of the hill below you not right? Are they the Japanese?"

"How come the Japs are here?" the squad leader said casually.

But he still covered his forehead with his hands and looked in the direction the soldier pointed.

"Damn it! They are really Japanese!" said the squad leader in horror.

This is the core area of the base. How did the Japanese get through the outer blockade and get here?

"Xiao Li, go and report to the regiment commander immediately. I will lead the comrades to move forward and take a look." The squad leader ordered.

"Yes!"

At this time, Yamazaki Yeping led the Fifth Infantry Battalion forward.

His goal was to infiltrate Tunkou Town and cooperate with the main force to complete the blockade of the Eighth Route Army in that area.

The Japanese combat staff looked at the map and found something was wrong no matter how they looked at it.

After taking out the compass and checking carefully, he finally discovered that the troops had taken the wrong road, and it was a big mistake.

"Sir!"

"What's the matter?" Yamazaki Yehei walked out of the queue.

"Sir, we've taken the wrong road, 60 degrees north!" the operations staff reported.

When Yamazaki Yehei saw the map, he almost vomited blood in anger.

When marching, a deviation of a few degrees is a big deal. A deviation of 60 degrees, do you want to walk back to Tokyo?
At this time, they were separated from their original destination by several hills, and there was no possibility of reaching it directly.

"Bakayarō!" Yamazaki Yohei slapped the operations staff officer to the ground with a slap on his face.

"Stop marching!" Yamazaki Yehei shouted.

If you take one more step now, you will have to take one more step when you retreat.

“Check the map to see if there’s a shortcut back!
"Send out a reconnaissance team to investigate the roads in this area!"

If they returned by the original route, the Fifth Battalion would have no chance of reaching Tunkou Town within the specified time.

By then, if you get any demerit, you won’t be able to make any progress.

However, before the reconnaissance team could set out, gunshots suddenly rang out from the hilltop nearby.

"Bang!" "Bang!".
"Enemy attack! Take cover!"

"On the hill over there, kill a chicken and give it to me!"

The Japanese vanguard immediately dispersed and launched a counterattack.

"Baga, pass on my order. Have the vanguard destroy this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers. The main force is preparing to move in."

From the sound of the gunfire, Yamazaki Yehei could tell that this was a small group of enemy troops, probably the Eighth Route Army guerrillas.

The Fifth Battalion was located in the heart of the Eighth Route Army. Once gunshots were heard here, the surrounding Eighth Route Army would quickly rush over.

The 5th Infantry Battalion is composed of elite troops drawn from the entire brigade and is responsible for important combat missions.

There is no time to play hide-and-seek with the Eighth Route Army in this mountain valley.

After the small unit has eliminated or driven away the Eighth Route Army, the main task is for the large unit to quickly head to the target area.

"Hai!" The messenger at the side immediately ran to pass the message to the vanguard troops.

On the other side, Li Yunlong stood up suddenly after hearing the report.

But before he could come up with any good ideas, gunshots were heard in the distance.

Hearing the gunshot, Li Yunlong slapped his thigh.

Now that the independent regiment is not around, we can’t eat this piece of meat.

What is more painful than not being able to eat meat is that you found the meat yourself, but you can only watch others eat it.

Now Li Yunlong could only watch jealously as the special forces regiment took action.

"Boom!" "Boom!".
Yamazaki Yeping, who was looking at a map and trying to find a road to get back to Tunkou Town, widened his eyes when he saw the sudden intensive artillery bombardment.

"What's going on?" Yamazaki Yehei was a little confused.

Aren't they Tubalu? Why did a mortar suddenly appear? And more than one?
Although the headquarters arsenal did not produce 60mm and 82mm mortars.

However, the maximum range of the 50mm small cannon produced can reach 600 meters.

Therefore, the sudden and fierce artillery bombardment by the troops sent by the Special Forces Regiment caused heavy casualties to the attacking Japanese vanguard squad.

"Captain, this location is the core area of the Eighth Route Army. It is too dangerous. We must move immediately!" said the combat staff.

"Well, order the troops to move in immediately!" Yamazaki Yehei nodded and gave the order.

In such a short time, the Eighth Route Army reinforcements arrived.

If we wait another hour or half an hour, I'm afraid there will be more troops arriving.
