Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 18 The brigade commander has to treat me to a drink!
Afterwards, Liu Fengbin of the 73rd Division reported to the superiors the defeat of the Sakata Regiment.

Liu Fengbin wanted to take all the credit for defeating the Sakata Regiment.

But Sakata's head and the colonel's command sword were in their hands, so he had no choice but to report the truth.

If the Eighth Route Army's Li Yunlong had not taken timely action, the 73rd Division might have been defeated by the Sakata Regiment.

After hanging up the phone, the chief was briefly shocked, then laughed:

"This Li Yunlong usually keeps a low profile, but suddenly he gives you a big surprise."

The Deputy Chief of General Staff hurriedly asked, "Commander, what happened?"

Just now he only heard one sentence, that the Sakata Regiment was defeated, but this one sentence alone piqued the appetite of the Deputy Chief of General Staff and the Chief of Operations Staff.

The combat staff on the side also looked at the leader with anticipation.

The chief smiled slightly and then repeated Liu Fengbin's report to everyone.

After hearing this, the Deputy Chief of General Staff and the operations staff were in an uproar at the headquarters.

"Good job!"

"Li Yunlong is such a fierce general!"

"awesome!"

"..."

The combat staff were talking to each other.

The commander nodded, his expression extremely satisfied: "Pass on my order. Order the New 1st Regiment to immediately report the wounded, killed enemies and the battle process. I will reward Li Yunlong and the New 1st Regiment handsomely."

If the Sakata Regiment is defeated, the defense line of the entire right-wing army group will be impregnable.

……

Brigade Headquarters.

Ding ding ding, ding ding ding——

The phone on the table rang and a combat staff officer picked up the phone.

After a while, the combat staff officer put down the phone and reported to the brigade commander with a shocked expression.

"Report to the brigade commander, the head of headquarters just called."

The brigade commander stared at the map and asked without looking up, "What's the matter?"

The combat staff officer replied, "It's a verbal commendation for Comrade Li Yunlong and the New 1st Regiment. Li Yunlong led his troops to attack the Sakata Regiment, killed the Sakata Regiment Commander, and cooperated with friendly forces to defeat the Sakata Regiment. The commander of the headquarters ordered the New 1st Regiment to immediately report the wounded, the enemy killed, and the details of the battle."

Since the New 1st Regiment was not equipped with a radio, the headquarters called the brigade headquarters directly, bypassing the division headquarters.

As the operations officer finished speaking, the brigade commander suddenly raised his head and asked, "What did you say?"

Not only the brigade commander, but also Deputy Brigade Commander Chen, Chief of Staff Zhou, and a group of combat staff officers turned their heads in surprise.

Killed Captain Sakata?
Defeat the Sakata League?

Oh my God, is Li Yunlong so awesome?
Since the outbreak of the July 7 Incident, there has been no record of an elite Japanese regiment being defeated, let alone the regiment commander being killed.

Being stared at by all the leaders, the reporting operations staff officer swallowed his saliva, repeated the report content, and said affirmatively:

"This is an instruction personally issued by the Deputy Chief of General Staff."

Smiles suddenly appeared on everyone's faces.

Since the Deputy Chief of General Staff said it himself, it must be true.

"Good job!"

The smile on the brigade commander's lips was harder to suppress than a Czech light machine gun:

"Call the New 1st Regiment immediately and have Li Yunlong answer the phone."

The New 386st Regiment is a unit of the 386th Brigade, and the combat record of the New st Regiment is equal to the combat record of the th Brigade.

The New 386st Regiment received a commendation, which was equivalent to the th Brigade receiving a commendation.

Just very comfortable.

"Yes!"

The reporting operations officer straightened up, then quickly walked to the phone, shook the handle rapidly, and put the phone to his ear:

"This is Brigade Headquarters, connecting with the New 1st Regiment!" A moment later, the combat staff officer covered the microphone and reported, "Brigade Commander, the operator of the New 1st Regiment reports that Commander Li is still on the battlefield."

The brigade commander said, "Immediately send the signalman to the battlefield to call Li Yunlong to answer the phone!"

At this time, even the headquarters knew that Captain Sakata had been killed and the Sakata Regiment had been defeated.

This means that the battle has ended long ago. What is this kid Li Yunlong still doing?
Operations Staff: “Yes!”

……

At this time, Li Yunlong was on his way back with a full load.

He carried a PPSh submachine gun on his back, three Type 3 rifles on his left shoulder, and a Type 38 rifle on his other shoulder.

There were several bullet bags and five or six grenades hanging on his chest.

Although he was carrying a heavy load, Li Yunlong's steps were very brisk.

Li Yunlong is only about 26 years old now, but looks like he is about 30 years old.

Red Army soldiers who experienced the Long March generally looked a few years older than their actual age.

Li Yunlong may not look very strong, but his physical strength is top-notch.

Except for Li Yunlong, every soldier of the New 1st Regiment returned with a full load.

Even the special forces battalion sent by the brigade headquarters gained a lot.

In front, a soldier came running and his eyes lit up when he saw Li Yunlong.

"Captain."

The man who came was a young but clever Eighth Route Army soldier. He ran up to Li Yunlong and stood up straight:
"Report to the regiment commander, the brigade headquarters orders you to go to the regiment headquarters immediately to answer the phone."

"I see."

Captain Li secretly said in his heart: "It's bad!"

But then I thought, I didn't violate any discipline, so why should I be afraid of the brigade commander?

At most, he failed to report the information about Sakata Nobutsu in a timely manner.

This time, he led his troops to kill the commander of the Sakata Regiment, and cooperated with friendly forces to defeat the Sakata Regiment and captured 7 Japanese prisoners.

The brigade commander not only has to commend me, but also has to treat me to a drink!

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong ran towards the regiment headquarters at full speed.

More than twenty minutes later, Li Yunlong returned to the regiment headquarters carrying his weapons.

Without blushing or panting, he first put away the PPSh, Type 38 rifle and Type rifle, then walked quickly to the table.

After reviewing his thoughts and making sure he hadn't violated any major discipline, Captain Li grabbed the phone.
"This is the New 1st Regiment, please connect me to the brigade headquarters."

While Li Yunlong was feeling anxious, a ding-ding-ding sound came from the telephone receiver, indicating that the call had been connected.

After a moment, someone picked up the phone and a voice familiar to Li Yunlong came out: "Hello."

It was the voice of the brigade commander whom he respected most in his life.

Li Yunlong immediately shouted, "Report to the brigade commander, I am Li Yunlong!"

The brigade commander immediately cursed, "Li Yunlong, why are you so loud? You want to make your voice sound louder, don't you?"

The sudden loud voice made the brigade commander's ears numb.

Li Yunlong smiled proudly: "Brigade Commander, hehe..."

The brigade commander asked with a smile, "Li Yunlong, I heard you made a fortune. How much did you gain from this battle?"

"Get rich?"

Li Yunlong quickly denied it:
"Commander, you know the situation of our New 1st Regiment. We're so poor we can barely make ends meet. The soldiers are almost begging for food. Where can we get rich?"

After a pause, Li Yunlong said affirmatively:
"No, no, absolutely not!"

"Are you sure you don't have any?" The brigade commander laughed. "Deputy Regimental Commander Zhong told me everything, but you're still hiding these few things?"

Li Yunlong led the New 1st Regiment to a great victory, and the brigade commander was very happy!
