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

Chapter 64 The Brigade Commander Was Startled

Kobayashi Iji retreated, looking utterly defeated.

Kuroshima Morita was still cursing: "These lowly infantrymen guarding the city are getting more and more clueless. They actually want my cavalry to transport things for them. If it weren't for the fact that they're wearing Imperial Army uniforms, I would have pried open their heads to see what's inside!"

Ueno no Mura chimed in, "Our mechanized unit is a rapid deployment force. We're only temporarily stationed in Ping'an County for combat. Once we receive information about the Eighth Route Army, we'll be deployed immediately. This Kobayashi is a complete idiot. Putting aside military intelligence, isn't our mechanized unit's fuel precious? We've run out of fuel at Supply Station No. 5. I've been trying my best to conserve fuel this month, tightening my belt."

"Two regimental commanders, an urgent telegram has arrived from Heyuan County." Kasahara Koizumi, the 22nd Regimental Commander of the 4th Brigade, walked over with the telegram.

The 22nd Regiment was an infantry regiment that, together with mechanized and cavalry regiments, formed an encirclement and suppression force.

Upon hearing the urgent telegram from Kawamoto Prefecture, both Kuroshima Morita and Ueno no Mura immediately became solemn.

They formed a siege force because the Eighth Route Army was rampant and had repeatedly caused heavy losses to the Imperial Army with heavy artillery.

An urgent telegram has now been sent from Heyuan County, which most likely means the target has appeared.

Ueno no Mura immediately asked, "Have the Eighth Route Army appeared again? Where are they?"

Supply depot No. 5 was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the mechanized troops in Ueno Village ran out of fuel. His emotions were the most intense!
“Yes.” Kasahara Koizumi’s tone was also very angry: “The military police in Heyuan County sent an urgent telegram saying that the Eighth Route Army is attacking the city again.”

Is the Eighth Route Army attacking the city again?
Upon hearing this, Kuroshima Morita and Ueno no Mura's eyes widened in disbelief: "Baka! Really? The Eighth Route Army really treats Heyuan County like a public toilet! This is the third time, isn't it? Do they really not take us seriously?!"

Kasahara Koizumi nodded: "Yes, this is the third time. They know we've already formed a siege force and are waiting to take them down, yet they still dare to attack the city. This is simply a blatant provocation against us!"

"Baka!" Kuroshima Morita slammed his fist on the table and stood up, shouting, "Then let these farmers taste the power of my saber!"

Uenomura immediately stood up: "Kuroshima and I are faster, so we'll go ahead. Your infantry regiment will follow."

"it is good."

Just as Kuroshima Morita and Ueno no Mura were about to depart, another urgent telegram arrived.

"Gentlemen, the garrison in Heyuan County has caught up with this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers and provided their location." Kasahara Koizumi handed the newly arrived urgent telegram to the two men.

"Yoshi!" Kuroshima Morita took it and looked at it, a satisfied smile on his face: "Good that it bit into the hole. Don't let us make a wasted trip like before."

Previously, when the Eighth Route Army attacked the city and raided the supply depot, we made several wasted trips, and we were exhausted and frustrated.

"This time, we've outflanked them and taken care of the Eighth Route Army. Let's see who dares to provoke us now!" Ueno no Mura smiled with satisfaction.

Thus, Kuroshima Morita's cavalry regiment and Ueno-no-mura's mechanized regiment left Heian-kyo ahead of everyone else.

Kasahara Koizumi followed closely behind with the 22nd Regiment.

Watching the three regiments quickly leave Ping'an County, Kobayashi Iji was still somewhat stunned: "The three regiments left so quickly, could it be that they discovered the Eighth Route Army?"

"It's good that we found the Eighth Route Army." The Japanese soldier next to Kobayashi Iji said in a relaxed tone, "If they wipe out the Eighth Route Army, then we won't have to worry about them attacking the city anymore. We don't need to rush to transport this batch of supplies; we can wait until the trucks are repaired."

"Hmm, that makes some sense." Kobayashi Iiji nodded and said, "Then let's wait and see."

……

"Commander, the Japanese troops that were encircling and suppressing the enemy in Ping'an County have come out."

An informant ran over to report to Li Yunlong, saying, "An infantry regiment, a cavalry regiment, and a mechanized regiment have all come out."

Li Yunlong smiled and said to Ding Wei, "Old Ding, it seems your Second Battalion Commander did a great job." "It's just dangling the Japanese devils around, how difficult is that?" Ding Wei said casually, then added expectantly, "Once the Japanese devils are far away, we'll start working right away. I wonder what we can get back from this Ping'an County."

"Who cares what we can get? We'll just take whatever we see. We can't expect to only get one meal again." Li Yunlong didn't think his luck would be that bad this time.

Zhao Gang reminded them from the side, "Both regimental commanders, you still need to remain calm. Don't get so caught up in the profits that you forget about time. Once we attack the city, the Japanese mechanized and cavalry regiments will quickly turn back."

"Old Zhao, don't worry about this, it won't cause any problems." Li Yunlong nodded, but still said, "Old Zhao, you must record the test data for this new shell carefully."

"No problem." Zhao Gang nodded.

"It's getting dark, Lao Ding, let's get ready to work. Let's both take the lead and see who gets the most!"

We need to act quickly.

The two quickly charged in with their cannons, looted a bunch of loot, and left.

The tactic of launching a main attack on one side while simultaneously launching a feint attack on the other is not suitable.

"Is there any need to say more? The fact that they've been robbing people in the city has already proven that you, Old Li, are no match for me," Ding Wei laughed.

"Hahaha, I don't believe it." Li Yunlong laughed loudly.

……

386th Brigade Headquarters

"Brigade Commander, something's not right."

The deputy brigade commander walked over with a serious tone and said to the brigade commander, "Up to now, we have not received any intelligence that the scrap yard has been attacked."

If the scrap yard is attacked, the Japanese troops in that area will definitely be alerted.

But now, the Japanese soldiers in that area are very quiet.

Since the Japanese soldiers are quiet, it must mean that the junkyard hasn't been attacked.

Judging by the timing, Li Yunlong should have already started fighting.

"Perhaps Li Yunlong was delayed on the way." The brigade commander said this, but his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Li Yunlong, that bastard, is up to something again?
But he had already called Ding Wei and Zhao Gang over; surely he couldn't still not control this stubborn mule.

"Nothing along the way could delay Li Yunlong..." The deputy brigade commander didn't finish his sentence.

An intelligence officer rushed over, his voice serious: "Reporting to the brigade commander, someone is attacking Heyuan County!"

Someone is attacking Heyuan County!
The brigade commander and deputy brigade commander were both startled when they heard this!
Li Yunlong and Ding Wei's two attacks on Heyuan County have angered the Japanese, and the Japanese encirclement and suppression forces are ready to fight at any moment.

At this critical juncture, who would be so bold as to provoke Heyuan County?

The deputy brigade commander quickly came up with an answer. He turned to the brigade commander and said, "Could it be that Li Yunlong disobeyed your orders and changed his attack from the scrap yard to attack Heyuan County instead?"
