Bright Sword: From Border Region Manufacturing to Major National Heavy Industry

Chapter 108 Absurd Acts on the Battlefield
Li Yunlong and Gao Liujin were evenly matched.

The two argued more and more fiercely, and it almost came to a physical confrontation.

Chu Yunfei stepped forward and reminded them in a serious tone, "Gentlemen, this is a battlefield!"

Chu Yunfei truly hadn't expected that Li Yunlong and Gao Liujin would almost come to blows at this critical juncture.

Who would do something so absurd?

"Li Yunlong, who is this?" Gao Liujin realized that it was not appropriate to start a fight with Li Yunlong at this time, so he used Chu Yunfei to change the subject.

"This is our friendly Jin-Sui Army's 358th Regiment Commander Chu Yunfei, a top student from the fifth class of the Whampoa Military Academy, Bald Head's prized student, and Commander Yan's favorite general!" Li Yunlong introduced to Gao Liujin. "You better watch out in front of him, kid. The 358th Regiment is a reinforced regiment with five thousand men!"

Upon hearing that Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment had 5,000 men, Gao Liujin's eyes immediately lit up: "Regimental Commander Chu, let me introduce myself. My name is Gao Liujin, and I am the commander of the New Third Regiment of the 120th Division. Regimental Commander Chu, I have a business deal that requires a partner. You have 5,000 men, which is perfect for this. Would you be willing to cooperate with me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong, without waiting for Chu Yunfei to respond, cursed: "Gao Liujin, you're asking for trouble, don't drag Commander Chu into it."

"Li Yunlong, if you weren't so unqualified, I would have pulled you in." Gao Liujin gave Li Yunlong a disdainful look.

"Yo yo yo, Gao Liujin, can't you stop bragging?!" Li Yunlong glared at him. "Let's not talk about anything else, just look at this battle right now. If it weren't for my support, you would have seen the Japanese's hidden bunkers and trump cards. You might have died here today, and you still say I'm not qualified!"

"Hmph, it's just a few bunkers, I can have someone attack from the rear..." Gao Liujin didn't finish his sentence.

Someone ran up to report: "Reporting to the regimental commander, the Japanese have not really retreated. They have circled around to our way back and are now rushing to build fortifications."

Upon hearing this, Gao Liujin immediately cursed, "Damn it, these little devils are trying to hold us back and buy time for their reinforcements!"

Li Yunlong immediately said to Gao Liujin, "Gao Liujin, didn't you say you could kill all the Japanese in this area? I'll give you those Japanese. Go and kill them. Your troops don't need to help you take the factory's stuff."

Gao Liujin immediately flew into a rage: "Li Yunlong, didn't you say I overstepped my bounds? I'm not taking these Japanese devils anymore, I'll leave them to you, so you won't say I overstepped my bounds!"

"Gao Liujin, you son of a bitch..." Li Yunlong glared at him and was about to roll up his sleeves again.

Chu Yunfei spoke up: "Commander Li, I have a serious question for you."

"What's the problem?" Li Yunlong asked.

"The Japanese are already preparing to intercept the two of you, and their reinforcements are definitely on their way. I want to ask, is it still possible for us to do the job?" Chu Yunfei was in a real headache.

Li Yunlong and Gao Liujin seem to be sworn enemies, which is why things have turned out this way.

It seems that Li Yunlong's Hell Cannon has run out of shells.

In this way, the agreement between himself and Li Yunlong seemed to have become meaningless.

“Brother Chu, of course we can do it, we definitely will.” Li Yunlong nodded solemnly and said, “Brother Chu, don’t worry, once I’ve taken everything from this factory, I’ll go work with you.”

Li Yunlong, of course, understood that the biggest threat was not actually the Japanese soldiers who were preparing to intercept them.

At most, they just want to hold them back and buy time.

The real threat was the Japanese reinforcements.

Only by joining forces with Chu Yunfei to cut off the supply lines of this group of Japanese reinforcements can the problem be truly solved.

Chu Yunfei questioned, "You've run out of ammunition, how can you still do it?"

Li Yunlong replied seriously, "Don't worry, my reinforcements are on their way."

Li Yunlong knew his brigade commander all too well.

We're trying to skim some profits from the 22nd Regiment, but that kid Gao Liujin is attacking the 3rd Regiment and making such a big fuss.

The brigade commander certainly won't be idle; he'll definitely send Old Ding with artillery shells to strangle him back... cough cough, to reinforce him.

As long as Lao Ding comes, he'll be a sensible person.

If the Japanese reinforcements aren't dealt with, no one can expect to go home safely.

This is a Japanese factory! How can we let the fat meat that's already in our mouths fly away again?

Therefore, Lao Ding knows how to cooperate with Lao Li.

"You have reinforcements?" Chu Yunfei looked at Li Yunlong suspiciously. "Brother Yunlong, this is no joke. Those are three Japanese regiments!"

"Brother Chu, don't worry, my reinforcements will arrive soon..." Well, Li Yunlong didn't finish his sentence.

The sound of hellfire cannons firing came from behind.

Li Yunlong immediately pointed and said, "Brother Chu, did you hear that? This is my reinforcement. He must have brought artillery shells."

Before Chu Yunfei could even respond, Gao Liujin shouted, "You, Li Yunlong, you already have reinforcements to deal with those Japanese devils, and you still want to lie to me!"

If I were to foolishly go and deal with those Japanese devils, wouldn't Li Yunlong have looted everything from the factory? That kid is truly wicked.

"Go away, go away." Li Yunlong pushed Gao Liujin aside and looked at Chu Yunfei: "Commander Chu, I suggest you go back to your command post right now. I'll deal with the factory matters here and immediately lure the Japanese reinforcements to your side, and then the two of us will take care of those little devils together."

"I still need to see the shell with my own eyes," Chu Yunfei said, still worried.

"Alright, alright." Li Yunlong nodded, then joined Gao Liujin in a fight. "Gao Liujin, let me tell you, my old brother is here too. If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame us for teaming up to beat you up." Gao Liujin retorted arrogantly, "Li Yunlong, you think I'm afraid of you? The guy you called is just Kong Erlengzi. You two together couldn't beat me before!"

Gao Liujin was unaware that Ding Wei had arrived and assumed that Li Yunlong's reinforcements were Kong Jie.

"Old Kong and I didn't eat that day, did you really think you could take on both of us!" Li Yunlong roared. "But you're still wrong. My reinforcements aren't Old Kong, they're Old Ding. Do you remember how Old Ding dealt with you back then?"

"What? It's Ding Wei?" Gao Liujin's expression immediately turned liver-colored upon hearing this. "That despicable bastard!"

Ding Wei is the most thoughtful member of the trio, and he knows he can't beat Gao Liujin on the surface.

Once, Gao Liujin had an upset stomach and went to the toilet eight times, almost collapsing from exhaustion.

Ding Wei seized the opportunity and gave Gao Liujin a good beating. This was the second humiliation Gao Liujin suffered after Li Yunlong's troops robbed his grain!

"Hahaha." Li Yunlong laughed loudly, "Old Ding's best strategy is to outwit your opponent, that's exactly what you're capable of, you simple-minded, big-brute!"

……

Meanwhile, Ding Wei arrived in a hurry with his team and the Hell Cannon.

It was clear that Li Yunlong had already squeezed all the profits out of the 22nd Regiment's territory, but he did not return.

Meanwhile, the fighting on the Third Regiment's side was still ongoing.

Therefore, Ding Wei concluded that Li Yunlong must have also led his troops to the Third Regiment.

Just as Ding Wei was about to go over, he saw a group of Japanese soldiers circling around from the side, hurriedly repairing fortifications.

Ding Wei understood immediately.

This must be the Japanese trying to cut off Li Yunlong and Gao Liujin's escape route.

Ding Wei, of course, didn't stand on ceremony and immediately loaded the Hell Cannon.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The Hell Cannon only needed three shells to send the Japanese soldiers fleeing in disarray.

"Chase them down! Kill these bastards to the last drop!" Ding Wei did not give up.

Chasing the dog away won't solve the problem.

Since I still need to get to Li Yunlong's side, this dog might still run back and continue blocking the road.

The best way is to eliminate these bastards completely.

Even if we can't completely eradicate them, we must drive them far away so they can't come back and block our way again.

The Japanese battalion commander's remaining troops were already few in number, and after Ding Wei fired three shots and dealt them a severe blow, only a pitiful three hundred or so men remained.

Relentlessly pursued and attacked by Ding Wei's two battalions, they were frustrated and vomited blood, so they had no choice but to withdraw completely, giving up any thought of coming back to block the road again.

Ding Wei and his men arrived to meet up with Li Yunlong.

Upon meeting, Ding Wei angrily cursed, "Old Li, what did you promise me before? You said you wouldn't make things difficult for me, but you ran away again. When I got back, I got a scolding from the brigade commander."

"Old Ding, getting a scolding from the brigade commander won't cost you anything," Li Yunlong said with a grin, leaning closer to Ding Wei. "How many shells did you bring?"

"Li Yunlong, the brigade commander has given a stern order for you to come back with me immediately." Ding Wei glanced at Gao Liujin beside him, completely ignoring him, and said to Li Yunlong in a solemn tone.

I've never been able to get along with this guy before.

Right now, I don't want to be involved with him.

Attacking the Third Regiment—that bastard has caused such a huge mess; it's best to strictly distance ourselves from him!
"Old Ding, the brigade commander gave the order, so I will definitely carry it out unconditionally." Li Yunlong immediately stated, then pointed to the factory and said, "Old Ding, this looks like the Japanese ironworks. We should take this easy money that's been delivered to our doorstep, right?"

It's understandable that Li Yunlong, after taking over the mine, didn't recognize the ores or know what kind of ore it was.

This ironworks is different.

We know Tie Shazi.

The ironworks also has finished iron bars, which we recognize.

Therefore, Lao Li initially judged that this should be an ironworks.

Upon hearing that this was an ironworks, Ding Wei's eyes widened immediately: "Old Li, you're not kidding, are you?"

Once the locomotives are recaptured, the arsenal's power problem will be solved.

This ironworks is of great significance!

Petroleum is the lifeblood of industry!
Steel is the cornerstone of industry!

“Old Ding, do you think I’m joking with my attitude and tone?” Li Yunlong said seriously, then pointed at Gao Liujin and said solemnly, “Gao Liujin has overstepped his bounds. His troops are robbing our stuff. We have to take everything back.”
