Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 73: The merits are offset by the faults
In response to Kong Jie's questioning, Wang Gensheng smiled and waved his hands:
"A few were injured, but none of them were serious. However, the harvest was not bad. We killed 38 Japanese special forces soldiers and seized 38 submachine guns and some bulletproof equipment."

Kong Jie looked at the wounded soldiers of the cavalry company and nodded.

"It's good that they're not dead. Take them to the medical team right away! Don't let them get infected!"

After hearing Kong Jie's words, Wang Gensheng immediately took the injured people to the medical team.

But when they arrived at the door of the medical team, Wang Gensheng just waved his hand and let them go in by themselves, and Wang Gensheng himself did not follow them in.

Because among these wounded people there was Li Xiu, the younger brother of the medical worker Li Xue, so it was naturally difficult for Wang Gensheng to go in, because he was afraid of seeing Li Xue's resentful eyes!
In fact, Li Xiu himself is also having a headache now! Because he is afraid of seeing his sister Li Xue's heartbroken eyes.

Sure enough, when Li Xiu walked into the clinic, Li Xue saw Li Xiu's bandaged arm and her eyes were filled with heartache. She then complained to Li Xiu:

"How's it going? It's okay!"

Hearing Li Xue's worried words, Li Xiu quickly smiled and said:
"It's okay, it's okay, I just got hit in the arm by a Japanese bullet. It's okay, no bones were hurt, just take the bullet out and it will be fine!"

That’s right, unlike the Type 38 rifle commonly used by the Japanese, which has strong penetrating power, the Yamamoto Special Forces used the .45 bullet.

Although this type of bullet has a large caliber, its initial velocity is low, so not only is its range short, but its penetration is also weak.

Even though it hit the arm, it still couldn't penetrate and got stuck in the muscle.

After hearing this, Li Xue checked carefully and found that the bullet did not hit the bone, but was simply stuck in the muscle. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he handed Li Xiu a towel and said to Li Xiu:
"The medical team is out of anesthetic, so just bear with it!"

Li Xiu smiled and said:
"Just do your job without worry, sister! In ancient times, Guan Gong scraped his bones to heal his wounds. My little injury is nothing!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Bite it!"

When Li Xue heard what Li Xiu said, she stuffed the towel into Li Xiu's mouth.

Then he picked up the tweezers and inserted them into the wound on Li Xiu's arm to remove the bullet head.

As Li Xue inserted the tweezers, Li Xiu's eyes widened in pain and his face turned pale because of the pain.

Li Xue naturally saw Li Xiu's expression, so she quickened her movements. As the bullet was pinched out by tweezers, Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

But before Li Xiu could breathe a sigh of relief, he was bandaged with sterilized cotton soaked in disinfectant alcohol. This time, Li Xiu almost fainted from the pain.

There is no other way. Antibiotics are as valuable as gold nowadays, so if disinfection is not done properly and infection occurs, that would be the worst thing to do.

"Next time, let's see if you'll still be in the front!"

After bandaging Li Xiu, Li Xue breathed a sigh of relief and said:
Li Xiu took the towel with deep teeth marks from his mouth and smiled at Li Xue:

"Sister, what you said is wrong. I am the squad leader of the cavalry company. If I don't lead the charge, do I have to let my men take the lead? We don't have such rules in the Eighth Route Army! Not to mention me, a squad leader, even Deputy Captain Wang took the lead! Besides, if everyone is afraid of death, how long will it take to drive the Japanese out?"

"Okay! Okay! I can't argue with you. I just hope our parents can bless you in heaven!"

Li Xiu didn't know what to say about this, so she could only sigh and change the subject: "Sister, you can take care of it for the others! I'm going back to rest!"

Li Xue, with red eyes, didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly, because she knew that anything she said now would be redundant.

After all, everyone is afraid of death and doesn't want to fight the Japanese, so the harm the Japanese will cause will be even worse. For example, the women in Lijia Village now no longer have to worry about being dragged away to be played with by the Japanese.

So Li Xue understood that she couldn't stop her brother from fighting the Japanese just because she was worried about him.

However, after Wang Gensheng returned to the New Second Regiment, Li Yunlong also returned to Yangcun with the First Battalion.

As soon as he returned to Yangcun, Li Yunlong's immediate superior came to his door, ready to teach Li Yunlong a lesson. After all, Li Yunlong disobeyed orders and took away a reinforced battalion without permission, which reduced the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment by half and almost made it impossible to defend the headquarters.

However, Li Yunlong was not ambiguous and immediately took out the Japanese general's knife and presented it to him, directly explaining the situation and results of the battle.

The final result was that the merits and demerits offset each other, and the confiscated sword was also taken away by the chief.

So Li Yunlong had no choice but to find Chu Yunfei who was about to leave with a deputy officer's knife and said to Chu Yunfei:

"Brother Yunfei, this deputy officer's sword is for you. Please let my deputy take the sword. It's rude not to reciprocate!"

Li Yunlong said this because of the pistol Chu Yunfei gave him when he first came. So when Chu Yunfei was leaving, he naturally had to give him a lieutenant's sword in return.

Chu Yunfei took the deputy officer's knife and took a look at it, then smiled and said to Chu Yunfei:
"Brother Yunlong is truly a lucky general! You wiped out an entire observation group of the Huali Dispatching Army, over a hundred elite Japanese soldiers, with just a single battalion!"

Li Yunlong sighed when he heard Chu Yunfei's words:
"How can I be called a lucky general! If it weren't for my capable general, the brothers of the second and third battalions sacrificed their lives, I, Li Yunlong, would have been executed by military court long ago. This is not a reward for not compensating for my mistakes! I've long been accustomed to it."

What Li Yunlong said was indeed correct. If Zhao Gang failed to hold on this time and something happened to the headquarters, then Li Yunlong's head might really be in danger. After all, how could an observation group be as important as the headquarters?

Chu Yunfei just laughed it off when he heard Li Yunlong's decision, then changed the subject:

"Brother Yunlong, it seems your group is about to set off?"

Li Yunlong did not hide this:

"How can I live in peace after taking such great advantage of others?"

That's right, Li Yunlong is not stupid, so he naturally would not think that the Japanese could not figure out that it was Li Yunlong who did it, so Li Yunlong had to take the independent regiment away before the Japanese could react and change the location to station. Anyway, there were many empty villages after the damage caused by the Japanese.

After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Chu Yunfei also agreed with Li Yunlong's decision to prepare for a rainy day, so he immediately said:
"Well, a life of war has made the world my home. Before we part, I have a question for you. You must tell me. You have no intelligence, no instructions. How do you know that there will definitely be a battle along that road? What is your basis? Intuition, or something else?"

In response to Chu Yunfei's question, Li Yunlong answered confidently:

"It's simple. My opponent doesn't know how powerful I am!"

Chu Yunfei was speechless at Li Yunlong's answer!
Originally he wanted to learn some fighting skills from this question, but Li Yunlong's answer made it impossible for Chu Yunfei to learn anything!
Therefore, Chu Yunfei could only laugh dryly and stop talking about this topic. After all, since Li Yunlong had said so, it was obvious that he did not intend to tell Chu Yunfei. Chu Yunfei did not want to make himself bored anymore, so he packed up and left the independent regiment.
