Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 201 Departure with the ecstatic Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

"Captain, I want to go too."

Li Yunlong was about to order the meeting to end when Zhao Gang's voice rang in his ears.

"Xiao Zhao?"

"What are you going to do?"

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang unhappily:
"This is a special forces decapitation operation. Why are you, an intellectual, joining in on the fun?"

If the New 1st Regiment had a political commissar, Li Yunlong would even want to go on special operations missions with the Blade Commando Team.

Generally speaking, there is no problem in letting Xing Zhiguo guard the house.

But this time the situation is special.

Because the New 1st Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the New 3rd Regiment had to move, there were still a lot of things to do when they arrived at the Jinzhong base.

On the other hand, if Li Yunlong went with him, Xiong Shanglin's command would inevitably be restricted, and Xiong Shanglin would have to lead the Blade Commando to independently complete a special operation.

This irritated Zhao Gang a little. He said, "Captain, I usually train with the Blade Commandos in physical fitness and marksmanship. Although I'm not as proficient in special operations as them, I can still be considered a semi-special forces soldier. Besides, I also want to gain more practical combat experience."

Although Zhao Gang is an intellectual, he is quite courageous. So far, he has only had one practical experience in Lubei Village.

Ever since he killed three devils in Lubei Village, Zhao Gang found that he not only had no psychological problems, but was rather excited.

When he was in school, he read a book that said some soldiers would suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome after leaving the battlefield.

However, Zhao Gang had no such problem at all, and neither did most of the soldiers in the New 1st Regiment.

Later he figured it out.

He and his fellow soldiers fought to defend his country and resist the invaders. We killed animals, not humans, so he did not feel guilty.

After figuring this out and coming to a clear mind, Zhao Gang naturally wanted to seize every opportunity to kill more Japanese devils.

Xiong Shanglin said, "Captain, please ask Staff Officer Zhao to go with you. He's familiar with special operations and might be able to help."

Zhao Gang was the second person in the New 1st Regiment besides Li Yunlong to read the book How Special Forces Are Trained.

"Row!"

Li Yunlong thought for a moment and nodded:
"Staff Officer Zhao, then you should move with the Blade Commando Team and pay more attention to safety."

Then Li Yunlong looked at Xiong Shanglin again and instructed:
"Xiong Shanglin, you must ensure the safety of Staff Officer Zhao. He is the only college student in our New First Regiment."

"After completing the mission, return to the Jinzhong base as soon as possible. I still need to learn cultural knowledge from Staff Officer Zhao."

Xiong Shanglin said, "Don't worry, Commander. I will definitely ensure the safety of Staff Officer Zhao."

Zhao Gang has good physical fitness and marksmanship, but as for safety... he can't guarantee safety in a big battle, and there's no need to guarantee safety in a small one.

"There are still four days until Guan Yuanliu arrives in Shimen City. Time is tight and the mission is heavy. Once you are ready, you will depart tonight."

Then Li Yunlong looked at the logistics staff officer Wang Shoujin:
"Old Wang, cooperate with the Blade Commando to quickly prepare the necessary horses, mules, food, and ammunition."

"Yes." Wang Shoujin said, his eyes as shrewd as ever, "Captain, I will complete the mission as soon as possible."

"Xiong Shanglin, you stay at the regiment headquarters and help me plan the marching route."

"Meeting dismissed."

……

The logistics department prepared all the necessities for the forced march.

Li Yunlong and Xiong Shanglin worked out the marching route together.

Wang Chengzhu and several elite artillerymen he selected, along with four 4mm mortars and 82 rounds of artillery shells, Zhao Gang and the Sharp Blade Commando were ready to set off.

It was a moonless night, and Li Yunlong gave a pre-war mobilization to everyone who was going to carry out the mission.

Then everyone set off on horseback and mule carts, and under the cover of night, they marched quickly towards Shimen City.

the next day.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei brought their respective troops to Chenjiazhuang to meet up with the New 1st Regiment, preparing to go to the Jinzhong base together.

"Haha, Lao Kong, why are you here just now?"

Kong Jie rushed into Li Yunlong's regiment headquarters and saw Ding Wei greeting him happily.

Ding Wei was also very happy about being transferred to Jinzhong to set up a base. He could finally let go and work hard.

And more importantly, you can make a fortune by following Li Yunlong.

Although the superiors did not explicitly ask Li Yunlong to command Kong Jie and Ding Wei, they had issued a document appointing Li Yunlong as the main person in charge of the Jinzhong base.

Doesn't this clearly mean that Li Yunlong will be in command of the Independent Regiment and the New Third Regiment?
Kong Jie and Ding Wei had no objection to this.

Although the three brothers are from the same class, their qualifications are similar.

However, during this period, the military achievements and weapons and ammunition that Li Yunlong had obtained were enough to make him a brigade commander, so there was nothing wrong with letting them obey Li Yunlong's command.

As long as Li Yunlong gave them weapons and ammunition, they would not only give them command in battle, but even call them daddy.

"Li Yunlong, did you report me?"

Kong Jie turned a deaf ear to Ding Wei's words, and glanced at Li Yunlong who was sitting with his legs crossed.

Raise an army to punish the culprit.

Li Yunlong pretended to be dumb and looked innocent: "Lao Kong, what are you snitching on?" "Still pretending!"

Kong Jie frowned and snorted coldly:
"My cavalry battalion was robbed by the brigade commander, and they only left me with a cavalry platoon's worth of horses and equipment. It really pissed me off. Was it you who leaked the information to the brigade commander?"

Because of the good confidentiality measures, the brigade commander did not know at first that the Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment had seized the military horses.

Moreover, the independent regiment handed over a batch of captured weapons and ammunition to confuse the brigade commander.

But unexpectedly, the weapons and ammunition were gone, and the military horses were robbed by the brigade commander, which was a huge loss.

"How is that possible? Old Kong, don't wrongly accuse a good person." Li Yunlong's tone suddenly rose. "Ask Old Ding, is our Old Li like the man who betrayed his old comrade?"

"Not like."

Ding Wei shook his head, and then immediately said:
"You are the one."

Li Yunlong naturally refused to acknowledge him and said, "What do you mean by 'I am'? I'm saying, can you two still happily be old comrades?"

Ding Wei was also upset: "Bah! He's my old comrade! What a great opportunity to make a fortune last time, but you didn't even invite me. You two ate all the food? I even got criticized by my superiors because of this."

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows and said, "Who told you, Ding Wei, not to be from our 386th Brigade?"

"And you, Old Kong, you should hand over whatever the brigade commander robbed you of. You're too honest. You're crying poor, but at least you can keep the horses and equipment for a cavalry company."

"If all else fails, just fight the brigade commander. What are you afraid of?"

Kong Jie was also honest. He handed over whatever the brigade commander asked him to do without any bargaining.

The cavalry battalion that was originally planned to be formed was directly turned into a cavalry platoon.

"You are so spoiled by the brigade commander that he didn't even rob you of a single horse."

"Let me fight with the brigade commander?"

"The brigade commander comes from a family of martial artists. The two of us combined are no match for him."

"Anyway, I don't care. You, a rich man like you, have to give me some compensation."

Kong Jie sat down on the bench and couldn't help cursing.

As for whether Kong Jie holds a grudge, that is definitely not the case, because Li Yunlong's analysis is correct. His independent regiment cannot afford to support a cavalry battalion at all.

The Independent Regiment could not handle the daily food consumption of the 300 Japanese military horses. During the few days the 300 military horses were with the Independent Regiment, they ate tens of thousands of kilograms of food.

But Kong Jie felt upset because an entire battalion's horses and equipment were robbed.

Although Li Yunlong did not admit it, it was definitely this kid who betrayed him.

"And me." Ding Wei naturally did not want to be left behind. "You two are eating alone, you should at least give me some compensation."

"Hahaha…"

Li Yunlong's expression changed and he smiled broadly:

"I thought it was something else, isn't it just weapons and ammunition? Old Li doesn't have much else, but he has a lot of weapons and ammunition."

"When we reach the Jinzhong base, I'll give each of you a heavy artillery piece, with three basic shells."

"I'll give you both a radio and a radio operator for easy communication."

"How about it, old comrade?"

After establishing the Jinzhong base, Li Yunlong naturally wanted to make a fortune with Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

When the Japanese learned that Li Yunlong and the New 1st Regiment had arrived in Jinzhong area, they would definitely gather heavy troops to encircle and suppress them.

The New Third Regiment and the Independent Regiment cannot be weakened. The New First Regiment alone cannot withstand the Japanese attack.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie immediately smiled happily, calling him "Old Li" as affectionately as possible.

In the Eighth Route Army, if others said they could get heavy artillery, it would be bragging, but if Li Yunlong said he could get heavy artillery, it was absolutely true.

……

Two days later.

Hongtuling, seven in the morning.

Xiong Shanglin, Zhao Gang, Wang Chengzhu, Wei Heshang, Wang Xikui and Yang Shaoqing were gathered together to discuss the next marching route.

Wei Heshang, Wang Xikui and Yang Shaoqing are the first, second and third combat team leaders of the Blade Commando respectively.

Yang Shaoqing was from the 772nd Regiment. He killed six elite Japanese soldiers with his bayonet in the ambush at Qigeng Village, and his individual combat skills were extremely strong.

Wang Xikui is an extremely accurate shooter and is one of the top three sharpshooters in the New 98st Regiment. Now that he is using a Mauser k sniper rifle, he is even more powerful.

Duan Peng, Lu Yingjun and Wang Gensheng are all team members. They have just joined the army, but they will gradually stand out in the upcoming battles.

"We have just crossed the border between Shanxi and Hebei provinces. Our current location is about 15 kilometers southwest of Jingxing County."

"To avoid being discovered by the Japanese puppet army, we must go around from the southern part of Jingxing County, head north from the eastern part of Jingxing County, and then march northeast to reach the vicinity of Daguo Village Airport in Shimen City."

Pointing to a precise map, Xiong Shanglin explained the next marching route.

After a pause, Xiong Shanglin said solemnly, "After arriving in the eastern part of Jingxing County, the number of Japanese and puppet army checkpoints will increase, and the possibility of being exposed will increase. Everyone must obey orders. If anyone messes up this operation, the regiment commander will definitely skin him alive."

Zhao Gang touched his sniper rifle, his eyes firm and determined.
