Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 77 Made a small fortune!
Li Yunlong didn't know when he fell asleep.

When he woke up, he felt dazed for a moment, his mind was confused, and he didn't know what year it was.

But soon, all kinds of information flooded into his brain. This was Hujiazhuang. Three months had passed since he led his troops across the Yellow River to fight the Japanese invaders. He had won three victories and eliminated over 3,000 Japanese soldiers. This afternoon, he had to go to the brigade headquarters to see the brigade commander.

Li Yunlong looked at the Roman watch he had seized. The hands showed 3 p.m. He put away the book "How Special Forces Are Trained" beside him.

Then he took out a pack of Lao Dao brand cigarettes, struck a match, and lit a Lao Dao brand cigarette.

After smoking a cigarette, Li Yunlong, feeling much clearer, walked out of the house.

Hujiazhuang is a poor village. There is not even a family that can be called a rich peasant in the entire village, so there are no decent houses. The guard platoon and the regiment headquarters personnel all live in farmers' homes.

"Old Li, are you awake?"

At this moment, Cheng Shifa walked in:

"The brigade headquarters just sent a messenger with news that Yangquan has fallen. All the Northeast Army soldiers defending Yangquan were killed. The Japanese cut off the heads of all the national army soldiers and hung them on the city walls. They also killed many civilians."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes when he heard this, silently took out a cigarette and handed it to Cheng Shifa. Cheng Shifa lit a match and started smoking.

The Japanese devils wantonly slaughtered Chinese soldiers and civilians. Li Yunlong has seen this many times in the past few months. He has seen so many things, and there are even more that he has not seen.

But the Japanese were powerful and their troops were strong, so Li Yunlong could only take revenge within his ability.

For example, Li Yunlong attacked the Japanese cavalry battalion, and led his troops to attack the Japanese field artillery positions last night.

But most of the time, I can only grit my teeth and endure it, and I can't even take revenge.

After all, we are not as strong as the Japanese, and going to seek revenge is tantamount to seeking death.

Li Yunlong said calmly: "Killing means killing. One day, we will demand that the Japanese pay back everything they have done to our compatriots."

Although Li Yunlong's words were calm, Cheng Shifa could sense the murderous intent in his tone.

"Yes."

Cheng Shifa took a puff of his cigarette:
"To deal with the devils, we must repay tooth for tooth, blood for blood, and kill to stop the killing."

Cheng Shifa changed the subject, "By the way, the brigade commander's signalman also told you to lead your troops to the brigade headquarters immediately after you wake up. The brigade headquarters is located in Dazhai Mountain, 10 kilometers away from here."

"Okay!" Li Yunlong nodded. "By the way, did any Japanese planes come here today?"

"Why didn't they come?" Cheng Shifa asked. "The Japanese reconnaissance planes came several times this morning, but they probably didn't find anything, so they didn't come much this afternoon."

The Japanese air force assigned to the Zhengtai Road offensive was also a flying squadron, just like the devils fighting in Xinkou.

The airport is located at Dagu Village Airport in Shimen City (Shijiazhuang) and has more than 20 aircraft.

After the 20th Division and the 109th Division captured Yangquan, they rushed to attack Shouyang. In addition, the Japanese reconnaissance planes did not find anything in the Pingding area, so they went to Zhengtai Road to scout the movements of the National Army.

Li Yunlong nodded, then called the signalman and ordered the entire regiment to assemble.

Soon, all the officers and soldiers of the regiment were assembled, and Li Yunlong led the soldiers of the new regiment towards Dazhai Mountain.

After more than two hours of marching, Li Yunlong led his troops to Dazhai Mountain.

At the Dazhaishan Brigade Headquarters, Li Yunlong met the brigade commander.

"Haha, Li Yunlong!"

The brigade commander's voice was as resolute as ever:
"A soldier should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence. Wangdongbao won a great victory and killed more than 2500 Japanese soldiers. You have made me proud recently." Although the 771st Regiment was ambushed by the Japanese soldiers and the troops were almost dispersed, they were successfully gathered in the end and regained their ground in Qigeng Village.

However, Li Yunlong led his troops to a great victory in Wangdongbao. After all, the New 386st Regiment was a unit of the th Brigade, which made the brigade commander very proud.

Who doesn’t know nowadays that in addition to the two main regiments, the 386th Brigade also has a new regiment that is even more powerful than the main regiment?
"hey-hey."

Seeing the brigade commander, Li Yunlong smiled his signature smile:
"Commander, a mere 2500 devils are nothing to worry about. To be honest, our New st Regiment made a small fortune in Dai County."

"A mountain artillery regiment and two basic shells, right?" The brigade commander's smile widened. "You call that a small fortune?"

Chief of Staff Zhou, standing nearby, beamed. "Headquarters has already notified the division and brigade headquarters of this matter. You've accomplished a tremendous feat this time. Even Ya'an sent a telegram commending you."

A mountain artillery regiment and two bases of artillery shells were nothing to the Japanese and Nationalist armies.

But for the poorly equipped Eighth Route Army, it was like a timely rain after a long drought and a timely help in times of need.

Greatly enhanced the artillery firepower of the Eighth Route Army.

The smile on Li Yunlong's face suddenly fell: "Brigade Commander, Chief of Staff, it seems... you already know everything?"

He had wanted to show off in front of the brigade commander, but he ended up showing off in vain.

Miscalculated.

The brigade commander seemed very happy. "How could I not know about such a big thing? By the way, did you bring the weapons and ammunition you said you would turn in to the brigade headquarters last time?"

"Report to the brigade commander, they have all been brought."

Li Yunlong nodded, took out a prepared list and said:

"Brigade Commander, congratulations on your fortune! This is the list of weapons and ammunition our regiment submitted to the brigade headquarters: 30 Maxim heavy machine guns, 15 rounds of machine gun ammunition, 2 Mark II grenades, two 2mm Bofors mountain guns, 75 rounds of artillery shells, and 400 training rounds."

The brigade commander kept a faint smile on his face, but he was ecstatic in his heart. He took the list from Li Yunlong and began to look at it.

"Oh, and there are also the 100 light machine guns and 100 submachine guns from last time. We lost about 20 of each in the battle, leaving us with about 80 light machine guns and 80 submachine guns, as well as two Type 2 infantry guns and over 300 rounds of ammunition. All of these have been returned to the brigade this time."

Chief of Staff Zhou's mouth almost widened when he heard this. The 386th Brigade was about to become a wealthy unit.

In the last ambush at Shimenkou and Qigen Village, if we had so much heavy firepower, the battle would have been much easier and fewer soldiers would have been sacrificed.

The brigade commander sounded surprised: "Why are there only 15 rounds of machine gun ammunition? I remember when this batch of weapons and ammunition was given to you, there were 10 rounds of machine gun ammunition and 10 rounds of submachine gun ammunition, right?"

In order to support Li Yunlong's ambush at Wangdongbao, the brigade commander gave all the weapons and ammunition handed over by Li Yunlong to Kong Jie's independent regiment.

After the great victory of Wangdongbao, Kong Jie's independent regiment and Ding Wei's new third regiment each left half of their submachine guns and light machine guns.

In addition, Li Yunlong did not take the spoils from the last victory at Wangdongbao. They all went to the Independent Regiment, the New Third Regiment and the 769th Regiment. Of course, the bulk of the 80 tons of combat supplies seized belonged to the headquarters.

The results of the battle were great, but the consumption of ammunition was also great. The 10 machine gun bullets and 10 submachine gun bullets were almost used up.

"So that's how it is." After Li Yunlong's explanation, the brigade commander suddenly realized it, but he did not ask Li Yunlong to return the damaged weapons and consumed weapons and ammunition.

As a core regiment commander, Li Yunlong is not only self-sufficient, but also able to support the brigade headquarters with so many weapons and ammunition.

What other bicycle do you want?
"Don't worry, Brigade Commander." Li Yunlong smiled slightly. "In addition to a mountain artillery regiment, I also made a small fortune."
