Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 16 Whose general is this?

Chu Yunfei also followed behind Zhang Lanfeng, commander of the 211th Brigade.

The battle is over. The Sakata Regiment was defeated, and more than 1500 devils were killed.
Chu Yunfei also understood what was going on.

Li Yunlong, commander of the New 1st Regiment, led a reinforced battalion and somehow got behind the Japanese.

Under the double-sided attack, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army worked together to defeat the Sakata Regiment.

He led a reinforced battalion and dared to stab the Sakata Regiment.

The commander of the new regiment, Li Yunlong, was in complete chaos.

Chu Yunfei also wanted to meet Li Yunlong.

"I am Li Yunlong."

Looking at the group of Shanxi-Suiyuan Army officers who gathered around him, Li Yunlong said indifferently.

Although it was a coincidence, the New 1st Regiment and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army cooperated to fight a beautiful defeat.

But Li Yunlong did not forget that Yan Laoxi sent the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to northern Shaanxi to attack the Red Army.

I am guarding against you, my ally.

Brigade Commander Zhang saluted. "I am Zhang Lanfeng, commander of the 73th Brigade of the 211rd Division of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Thank you, Commander Li, for leading your troops to support us. If it weren't for the New 211st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, our 211th Brigade wouldn't have been able to... Our th Brigade has already been wiped out by the Sakata Regiment."

Zhang Lanfeng originally wanted to say that if it weren’t for your New 211st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, our th Brigade would not have been able to defeat the Sakata Regiment.

Defeating the Sakata Regiment was a great achievement, but it was a bit shameless for Zhang Lanfeng to say it in front of Li Yunlong.

So Zhang Lanfeng quickly changed the subject, and his tone and expression were full of gratitude towards Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong returned the salute with a forced smile. "You're too polite, Brigade Commander Zhang. Our New 211st Regiment's target is Sakata Nobutsu. Saving your th Brigade was just a matter of convenience. Look, I've already chopped off that old devil Sakata's head, along with his command saber."

Li Yunlong pointed at Sakata's head wrapped in a piece of cloth on Hu Zi's back, and the colonel's command knife on Hu Zi's waist.

Zhang Lanfeng looked in the direction Li Yunlong pointed, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

This Li Yunlong is so fucking fierce.

Even Sakata's head was chopped off.

Zhang Lanfeng gasped, "Captain Li is truly a formidable general. I, Zhang Lanfeng, will definitely be your friend."

Li Yunlong smiled slightly. "Let's not talk about making friends for now. If Commander Zhang really wants to thank our New 1st Regiment, then he should give all of these devils' weapons and equipment to our Eighth Route Army. Commander Zhang, you can see that our Eighth Route Army is so poor that we're almost begging for food."

"no problem."

Brigade Commander Zhang nodded:
"The Japanese army's equipment is useless to us, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. We can give these weapons and equipment to your army, but I have a request."

Li Yunlong: "Brigade Commander Zhang, please feel free to speak."

Brigade Commander Zhang said, "I want Sakata Nobutsu's command knife or head. I wonder if Commander Li can give one of them to our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army?"

Li Yunlong flatly refused: "That won't do!"

Are you kidding? These are weapons and ammunition. What if Mr. Lin doesn’t acknowledge it after I give them to you?
Can you, Brigade Commander Zhang, provide me with weapons, ammunition and cannons?

Brigadier General Zhang asked, "Where's the Lieutenant Colonel's command knife?"

"can!"

Li Yunlong nodded and turned to guard Zhang Hu and said:
"Huzi, give Brigade Commander Zhang a lieutenant colonel's command knife."

Just now, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army fought the Japanese without hesitation, using a lieutenant colonel's command knife to exchange for so many of the Japanese equipment.

Earn blood.

"Yes, Commander!" The burly Zhang Hu pulled out a lieutenant colonel's sword from a bundle of swords and handed it to Brigade Commander Zhang.

Brigade Commander Zhang took the lieutenant colonel's command knife and looked at it.

Then he clasped his fists towards Li Yunlong and said, "Captain Li, we will meet again."

With this lieutenant colonel's command knife, he can report to the division commander.

Li Yunlong casually bowed and said, "See you later."

It would be best if we never meet again.

After Zhang Lanfeng left, Chu Yunfei, with the rank of colonel on his shoulder, came over again, saluted, and said with a smile, "Captain Li, I am Chu Yunfei, commander of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Just now, our two regiments fought together and cooperated well, eliminating over a thousand Japanese invaders. Our Chinese army has a brave general like Captain Li. Our nation is very lucky!"

Li Yunlong lazily raised his hand and returned the military salute.

Who are you?
You start talking to me in official language right away. Do you think I know you well?
Oh.

It turned out to be the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. It was you who blocked the ferry and prevented my New st Regiment from crossing, right?

Although the deputy commander did that thing, Chu Yunfei is the commander, so you have to take the blame.

Li Yunlong has always held a grudge. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, and Li Yunlong takes revenge from morning to night.

"I don't deserve it, Captain Chu."

Li Yunlong said with a forced smile:
"Your 358th Regiment is a regular army, and our New st Regiment is a beggar. Even the National Army's organizational chart doesn't have our New st Regiment number. We were not even allowed to cross the ferry. We almost didn't find a way to fight the Japanese."

Chu Yunfei looked embarrassed. "Captain Li, it seems there's some misunderstanding between you and me... I heard that Taiyuan Juxianlou's cooking is pretty good. After this battle, I'll invite you to have a drink at Juxianlou. I hope you'll honor us with your presence."

Li Yunlong said, "Drinking? I'm quite interested in that."

Chu Yunfei glanced at Li Yunlong's subordinates. They were all armed with light machine guns and submachine guns, which made Chu Yunfei's pupils shrink slightly.

After a pause, Chu Yunfei clasped his fists calmly and said, "I still have military duties to attend to. Captain Li, we'll meet again later."

Yunlong clasped his fists and said, "Captain Chu, see you later." Then Chu Yunfei left with his subordinates.

The other officers of the Jinsui Military Academy also left one after another, with no intention of coming over to say hello or make friends.

Watching Chu Yunfei lead the troops away, Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes and said, "Chu Yunfei, this kid is quite interesting."

Although it was a period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, anyone who knew a little about politics knew that the Eighth Route Army was a major concern for Principal Chang.

Others were afraid of being associated with the Eighth Route Army, but Chu Yunfei came to make friends with him and even invited him to drink.

Either Chu Yunfei is a young and inexperienced person, or this guy has a backer.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army took the wounded away and left all the captured weapons and ammunition to the New 1st Regiment.

The soldiers began to clean the battlefield.

"At least several hundred Type 38 rifles, Captain, we're going to make a fortune this time!"

The second battalion commander carried three Type 3 rifles on his left shoulder and a Type rifle on his right shoulder. He looked so handsome:
"There are also several Type 92 heavy machine guns!"

Li Yunlong couldn't help but laugh wildly: "Haha..."

Suddenly, Li Yunlong seemed to remember something, his smile faded, and he shouted loudly: "First Battalion Commander!"

Song Daying hurried over: "Yes!"

Li Yunlong said, "We still have a lot of weapons and ammunition on the other side of the road in Gouzi Village. You lead the first battalion to get them back. Remember to strip the Japanese of their cotton-padded clothes and trousers. Except for their underwear, don't leave a single hair behind."

"But you must be careful and don't let the devils take you away."

"Go!"

"Yes!" Song Daying straightened his body, turned around and shouted loudly, "First Battalion, everyone assemble!"

Taking advantage of the gap when the first battalion was gathering, Li Yunlong shouted loudly.

"Second Battalion, Third Battalion, speed up the cleanup of the battlefield. In addition to weapons and ammunition, strip the Japanese of their cotton-padded jackets, cotton-padded pants, cotton-padded shoes, and helmets!"

……

At the headquarters of the 73rd Division of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

When he heard the gunfire stop, Division Commander Liu Fengbin was suddenly startled.

The cessation of gunfire from the second line of defense meant that the 211th Brigade had been wiped out by the Sakata Regiment.

Liu Fengbin was ready to run away.

The 73rd Division suffered more than half its members in casualties, and its morale was low, so it was absolutely unable to stop the attack of the Sakata Regiment.

Liu Fengbin gritted his teeth.

I can hold on until night at most. If reinforcements don’t arrive, I will retreat!

The troops have held their ground for so long, and have done their utmost to live up to Commander Yan and the people of Shanxi Province!

It's important to save your life.

Ding ding ding, ding ding ding——

Just then, the phone at the division headquarters rang.

The Major General Chief of Staff picked up the phone and said, "Hello, this is division headquarters!"

"What did you say?"

After listening to the report, the chief of staff suddenly opened his eyes wide, his expression was dull, and he was in extreme shock.

The chief of staff seemed to be in disbelief at what he heard, and his expression was completely off.

"Can you say that again!?"

"sure?"

After hanging up the phone, the Chief of Staff took a deep breath and then walked over to Commander Liu:

"Report to the division commander, Sakata Regiment..."

Having said that, the Chief of Staff paused and prepared to reorganize his words.

"What happened to the Sakata Unit?"

Commander Liu was staring at the map, thinking about the retreat route, and asked casually.

"Report to the division commander, the Sakata Regiment has been defeated."

"What did you say?" Liu Fengbin suddenly raised his head, thinking he had misheard, and his tone suddenly rose eight degrees. "The Sakata Regiment was defeated?"

"Yes, Master!"

The Chief of Staff said affirmatively:

"This was reported by Brigade Commander Zhang himself..."

Immediately, the Chief of Staff repeated Brigadier General Zhang's words to Division Commander Liu verbatim:
"Even the Eighth Route Army chopped off Sakata Nobutsu's head."

After listening to the chief of staff's report, Commander Liu breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time frowned, puzzled.

"Li Yunlong?"

"Whose general is this? Why is he so brave?"
