Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 99 Crazy Li!
Li Yunlong put on his military cap and gave his orders.

I thought about it.

He put a cassette and a Mauser pistol into the holster, fastened his belt, and draped the Mauser pistol and cassette on his left and right.

He also hung a telescope given by Boss Lin on his chest, and picked out a lieutenant's sword from several bundles of command swords and hung it around his waist.

He picked out another gold watch, thought about it and put it back, then put on an ordinary watch.

He wore a gray woolen military coat made from a captured yellow woolen military coat from the Japanese.

Only then did Captain Li walk out of the regiment headquarters with satisfaction.

Political Commissar Zhong and a number of battalion, company and platoon leaders behind him all had their lips curled up.

"Tiger!"

Li Yunlong shouted loudly.

"To!"

Zhang Hu ran in quickly from outside the courtyard gate:

"Commander, I am taking Staff Officer Zhao to familiarize himself with the troops and the regimental headquarters."

Because Zhao Gang was a member of the regiment headquarters, he had his own separate room.

Just then, Zhao Gang also walked in from outside the door.

Li Yunlong said, "Hu Zi, I'll give you one minute to give Staff Officer Zhao a Mauser pistol, a tortoise box, a watch, a Japanese lieutenant's sword, and a pair of six-power binoculars."

"Yes!"

Zhang Hu turned around and rushed into the regiment headquarters.

A moment later, Zhang Hu ran out of the regiment headquarters with the things Li Yunlong mentioned and handed them to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang: “???”

Political Commissar Zhong, who had just walked out, laughed heartily: "Staff Officer Zhao, don't be surprised. This is the standard configuration for our new regiment's headquarters staff."

Zhao Gang looked at Zhong Zhicheng, Zhang Dabiao, Song Daying and others. Almost everyone was wearing two pistols, a watch, a Japanese command knife, and a pair of binoculars on their chest.

Even the regimental commander's guards were the same.

So rich.

Zhao Gang felt emotional.

"Staff Officer Zhao, put them on and follow me to the meeting at brigade headquarters."

Li Yunlong's emotionless voice rang in Zhao Gang's ears. Zhao Gang had just arrived, and Li Yunlong planned to show him the world.

"Yes."

Zhao Gang put it on quickly.

Looking at Zhao Gang, who had a pistol on each side, a six-fold telescope hanging on his chest, a Japanese army knife slung around his waist, and a watch on his hand.

Captain Li nodded with satisfaction. This was more like someone from the new regiment.

What did Zhao Gang look like before when he was carrying a Hanyang rifle with the rifling almost worn out?

At this time, Zhang Hu had already led three chestnut military horses from the stable. Zhao Gang recognized this kind of horse. It was a Japanese horse. He had seen the head of the headquarters riding it once from a distance at the headquarters.

He looked towards the stable and saw dozens of maroon Japanese military horses like this!
Li Yunlong: "Zhao Gang, this Japanese horse is yours. Can you ride a horse?"

"Report to the regiment commander." Zhao Gang replied with surprise, "I can ride."

"Mount!"

As he spoke, Li Yunlong had already jumped onto the horse with a graceful movement.

"Gee!" Zhao Gang and Zhang Hu also quickly jumped on their horses, grabbed the reins, and rode to catch up with Li Yunlong.

When passing by the threshing ground, Zhao Gang saw that the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment were still unloading goods, and a steady stream of soldiers were bringing in weapons and ammunition.

On the way to the brigade headquarters, Li Yunlong and his team caught up with the brigade's transport team, and Zhang Hu introduced them to Zhao Gang.

These are the weapons and ammunition handed over to the brigade by our new regiment.

"This new regiment is simply too wealthy. Is it a god-like army?"

Zhao Gang became more and more shocked and confused.

……

The new regiment’s base is relatively close to the brigade headquarters, only 5 kilometers away.

Li Yunlong and his two companions arrived in less than 20 minutes riding their Japanese horses.

The entire village where the brigade headquarters is located is filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere that is visible to the naked eye.

Li Yunlong asked Zhao Gang and Zhang Hu to wait outside while he went straight to the brigade headquarters.

In order to conceal itself and prevent bombing, the brigade headquarters was located in a cave.

When he stepped into the brigade headquarters, all the staff were not there, but Kong Jie, Commander Xu and Cheng Shifa had already arrived.

"Haha, Old Li."

When Kong Jie saw Li Yunlong come in, he burst into laughter.

The last cooperation with Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment made Kong Jie's independent regiment a fortune. Now the firepower of the independent regiment is stronger than that of the main regiment.

Captain Xu also greeted Li Yunlong with a smile.

Cheng Shifa looked at the equipment on Li Yunlong and said with envy: "Isn't this Crazy Li?"

A command knife, a watch, a box, a telescope, a military coat... this bastard is so rich.

Why do all the good things belong to Li Yunlong?

"What did you say, Blind Cheng?" Li Yunlong asked, "Who is Crazy Li?"

"Old Li, you don't know yet?" Kong Jie said, "The news that you personally led the assault team to attack the 20th Division, blew up the Japanese field artillery position, and killed the 500th Japanese has spread to all the troops. Everyone now calls you Crazy Li." In order to boost the morale of the troops, the headquarters conveyed the news of the New st Regiment's surprise attack on the Japanese field artillery position to all the units.

Compared with the ambush against the Japanese, Li Yunlong's sneak attack on the Japanese field artillery position made all the Eighth Route Army commanders and fighters tremble with fear.

It's just crazy.

There were tens of thousands of elite Japanese soldiers attacking Yangquan that day.

If there was even the slightest mistake, the entire New 1st Regiment assault team, including Li Yunlong, would be eaten by the Japanese.

In fact, in that battle, Li Yunlong also learned that the Japanese were burning, killing and looting near Yangquan, so he made a temporary decision to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese artillery positions.

Li Yunlong admitted that there was a gambling element in his behavior, but he made the right bet.

This is how war is. Heroes are determined by victory or defeat. If you win, you are a hero. If you lose, you are nothing.

"Haha." Li Yunlong laughed. "Crazy Li is a good nickname."

While laughing loudly, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie saw Ding Wei also walk in.

Putting away his smile, Li Yunlong asked, "Old Ding, this is our 386th Brigade's combat meeting. What are you doing here?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Ding Wei sat down on the bench:
"I was wondering, why did you call me to the meeting of the 386th Brigade?"

At this moment, Commander Chen of the 385th Regiment of the 769th Brigade also walked in.

"Old Chen, you're here too?"

Li Yunlong became even more confused.

At that time, the 769th Regiment, the New st Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the New rd Regiment fought against the Japanese ambush in Wangdongbao together.

Now the four groups are together again.

Commander Chen said succinctly, "I received an order from the brigade headquarters and rushed here immediately. What's going on?"

"It's quite lively!" At this moment, Commander Yang and Commander Li of the 115th and 343th Regiments of the 685rd Brigade of the 686th Division walked in together.

Everyone asked each other, but no one knew what was going on.

Only Li Yunlong heard the brigade commander mention that the troops would have a major combat operation.

Kong Jie counted them and said, "Oh my God, eight main regiments! This is a big deal! It looks like our Eighth Route Army is about to launch a major combat operation!"

Cheng Shifa said, "Old Kong, there are only five main regiments and three core regiments. Where did the eight main regiments come from? I think you are trying to pretend to be an elephant by sticking a green onion in your pig's nose."

"Haha." Kong Jie said sarcastically, "The combat effectiveness of our three core regiments is no worse than your 772nd Regiment. Especially Lao Li's New 772st Regiment, its combat effectiveness is stronger than your nd Regiment."

"Hey! You fool." Cheng Shifa was choked and couldn't refute.

Although the New 772st Regiment's strength is not as great as that of the nd Regiment, its combat record is real, and it has achieved results that many main regiments cannot achieve.

Just then, footsteps were heard at the entrance of the brigade, and everyone looked towards the door.

The head of the headquarters, Division Commander Liu, Division Commander Lin, and the brigade commanders came in one after another.

"salute!"

Ding Wei, who was closest to him, stood up quickly and shouted.

Immediately, eight regiment commanders, including Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Ding Wei, stood up straight and saluted.

The leaders raised their hands to return the greeting. Behind them, several combat staff officers brought in a combat map and placed it on the table.

Li Yunlong looked at Commander Lin and saw that he was absent-minded, as if he was thinking about something.

He planned to wait until the combat meeting was over, then take two mountain cannons and 2 rounds of artillery shells to Division Commander Lin to exchange for Xiong Shanglin.

"Before the war conference begins, I would like to read out a commendation telegram from YA."

The Deputy Chief of General Staff took out a telegram from his pocket, glanced at Li Yunlong, and then read:

"The New 20st Regiment attacked the artillery positions of the Japanese 12th Division at night, ambushed the Japanese Officer Training Corps, destroyed 75 enemy 800mm field guns, and killed over Japanese soldiers and officers. Comrade Li Yunlong was skilled in seizing opportunities and fought bravely and tenaciously. He is commended for his excellent performance. We hope that all units will study the New st Regiment's experience in victory, maintain high morale, and win more battles."

Li Yunlong was immediately flattered. Just from the writing style, Li Yunlong could tell who drafted this telegram.

"Thank you for the commendation, Chief."

Li Yunlong saluted, took the commendation telegram, folded it carefully and put it in his pocket.

Li Yunlong was too lazy to even look at the commendation telegrams from Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Xishan, but he attached great importance to this commendation telegram.

This is something that can be regarded as a family heirloom.

The group leaders looked at Li Yunlong with undisguised envy in their eyes.

Commander Liu, the brigade commander and the heads of the headquarters looked at Li Yunlong with extremely satisfied expressions and eyes.

Even Commander Lin couldn't help but look at Li Yunlong a few times. Is this kid so good at fighting?

The commander looked at Li Yunlong and said with a smile, "Li Yunlong, you've become very rich recently. Your equipment is more luxurious than that of us commanders."

Li Yunlong reported truthfully and said with a smile: "Report to the commander, two days ago our regiment ambushed the Japanese officers' training team. Those damn Japanese officers are really rich. Our New 1st Regiment made a small fortune. We seized a lot of sabers, watches, binoculars, turtle boxes and compasses. If I knew the leaders were coming today, I would have brought those captured items to give to them."

The boss's smile grew more and more satisfied: "You can have the soldiers send it to headquarters later."

Li Yunlong straightened his body and said, "Yes! I will have the soldiers send the captured items to the headquarters later."

"Li Yunlong," Commander Lin said, "Don't just give it to the head of headquarters, give us one too."

"No problem." Li Yunlong patted his chest, "Everyone who sees it gets a share."

The boss looked at Li Yunlong more and more satisfied. This kid is smart!
There were so many sabers, watches and other items captured in the battle the day before yesterday that even if every commander above the rank of squad leader in the New 1st Regiment was equipped with a set, there would still be a lot left.

Since the heads of the headquarters and the commanders of the brother units like him, Li Yunlong is also happy to go out and make friends with him.

Everyone laughed, and the air in the brigade was filled with a happy atmosphere.

At this time, the headquarters' operations staff had already laid out the battle map, and the boss's expression became serious:
"Now officially convene a combat meeting."
