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

Chapter 85 Training Subjects of the Japanese Special Forces

“Even if the brigade commander is only temporarily keeping the Hell Cannon for you, how can Ding Wei still take it?” Blind Cheng and Regiment Commander Xu felt a lump in their throats.

The brigade commander was far too biased this time.

Giving his Hellfire Cannon to Ding Wei, a semi-outsider, was really inappropriate.

"Gentlemen, actually, Lao Ding and I were just joking with you two. How could Ding Wei possibly take the brigade commander's hell cannon? That would be the brigade commander's lifeline," Li Yunlong said, feigning ignorance. "Just a joke, you really believe it?"

Ding Wei understood immediately and chimed in, "That's right, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously."

Ding Wei thought to himself: Old Li, you really know how to tease people.

Later, the brigade commander actually gave me the Hell Cannon. I wonder what kind of faces those two main regimental commanders will have then.

Upon hearing what Li Yunlong and Ding Wei said, Blind Cheng and Regiment Commander Xu immediately felt relieved.

That explains it. How could the brigade commander be so unfair? It turns out those two were just joking.

Blind Cheng's expression was grim: "Li Yunlong, I want to see if you can actually take your Hell Cannon back."

Regiment Commander Xu also said, "I don't believe that the brigade commander would return the Hell Cannon to you."

"Haha." Li Yunlong laughed and said, "If you don't believe me, just open your eyes and watch."

While Li Yunlong's stepchildren and his biological children were arguing amongst themselves, the brigade commander walked into the brigade headquarters.

Upon seeing the brigade commander return, the deputy brigade commander immediately approached and asked expectantly, "Brigade commander, what did you exchange the items for at the arsenal?"

"Not bad, we replaced the shells with twenty-five rounds of Hellfire cannon shells," the brigade commander replied.

"Twenty-five rounds?" The deputy brigade commander paused for a moment, then laughed, "That's quite a lot."

This batch of supplies couldn't compare to the oil Li Yunlong got from Supply Station No. 5, mainly because there was too much waste in it.

"What's wrong? I'm not at the brigade headquarters. Is there anything wrong?" the brigade commander asked. "If not, call all the staff officers to the conference room and have a meeting together."

“Brigade Commander, the remaining safes have all been opened,” the deputy brigade commander said, handing the brigade commander two folders. “I’ve looked at the other documents. The Japanese aren’t stupid; the information is probably outdated. These two documents seem somewhat useful. Take a look at them.”

The brigade commander took it and looked at it.

One of these two folders contains a list of twelve Japanese spies planted on our side.

The other folder contains information about the training subjects of the Japanese special forces.

The Japanese special forces training was temporarily suspended, and a small Japanese unit launched a surprise attack on Yangcun, giving Kong Jie's Independent Regiment a 200-0 defeat.

In addition, according to Li Yunlong's report, the Japanese were using prisoners of war for hand-to-hand killing training.

It has been confirmed that a small group of Japanese soldiers, specially trained and skilled in mountain warfare, existed.

This small group of Japanese soldiers is very well hidden; based on their training regimen, it's impossible to find them.

When our conditions improve, we might be able to refer to these training programs.

The list of undercover agents is very important and must be taken seriously.

The brigade commander looked at the deputy brigade commander and asked, "Have these twelve people been arrested?"

"We only caught two people; the others escaped," the deputy brigade commander replied. "The others were probably recalled by the Japanese in time, but these two were caught because we received the notification a little late due to other matters."

"Hurry up and interrogate them to see if we can get anything of value out of them," the brigade commander nodded.

Catching two people is not bad. The most important thing is that they wiped out all the enemy spies on our side in one fell swoop, that's the most important thing.

"Yes, Brigade Commander." The deputy brigade commander nodded. "The interrogation has been arranged. These two are a bit tight-lipped; it will take some time."

"It's alright, I can wait," the brigade commander said, indicating that he didn't mind.

The deputy brigade commander continued, "Just a short while ago, our intelligence agents intercepted another very strange signal from the Japanese."

"What's so strange?" the brigade commander asked.

"The Japanese have a batch of military supplies to transport to Heyuan County," the deputy brigade commander replied. "The Japanese military supply transportation is always top secret. How could it have leaked out so easily this time? I think this might be a trap."

The brigade commander listened with a serious expression: "Needless to say, this is definitely a trap. That kid Li Yunlong attacked Heyuan County again and also went into Ping'an County to cause some trouble. The Japanese are trying to lure us in; they're betting big!"

The transportation of the copper billets, copper wires, and industrial acid that Li Yunlong seized in Ping'an County was kept top secret by the Japanese; not a single word was leaked.

It wasn't until Li Yunlong stormed into Ping'an County that he learned the Japanese had a batch of copper wire, copper billets, and industrial acid waiting to be transported away from Ping'an County.

Right now, a batch of military supplies is to be transported to Heyuan County, eliminating the unreasonable loophole that the Japanese were not keeping secret.

Objectively speaking, we have cannons that can kill people, and Heyuan County was attacked three times.

Are the Japanese devils idiots?

Knowing full well that Heyuan County was unsafe, the fact that they still allowed this batch of military supplies to be transported there clearly shows that the Japanese had ill intentions.

"Yes, I think so too." The deputy brigade commander nodded and added, "The Japanese cavalry and mechanized regiments have now entered Heyuan County. They're definitely going to set up an ambush."

After thinking for a moment, the brigade commander said, "You should still follow up on this intelligence carefully."

The deputy brigade commander paused, then said, "Brigade commander, we knew it was a trap, why did we still follow it?"

"The Japanese aren't stupid either. They'll figure it out. We won't fall for their tricks easily," the brigade commander analyzed. "Do you understand what I mean?"

"You mean, the Japanese are very likely to use real weapons to lure us in?" the deputy brigade commander said thoughtfully.

“Yes, our arsenal is in dire need of all kinds of military supplies. Whatever those Japanese military supplies are, get me a clear picture of what they are,” the brigade commander said sternly. “As for how to get them to cooperate later, I have my own methods.”

"Brigade Commander, the Japanese have definitely laid out a large force to trap us. Are they really planning to take the risk?" The deputy brigade commander's eyes widened.

"You can follow along for now," the brigade commander said.

He certainly understood that if the Japanese dared to use real weapons as bait, then the ambush was definitely not a joke.

But our arsenal has supplied the shells for the Hell Cannon. When we go to attack the Japanese railway line and seize the Japanese trains, the Japanese ambush troops will have to be sent to reinforce us. They certainly won't just sit idly by.

Then, the opportunity to take the bait will come.

"Yes, brigade commander." The deputy brigade commander nodded.

"Is there anything else to report?" the brigade commander asked.

"No more," the deputy brigade commander shook his head.

"Then let's call all the staff officers to the conference room and have a meeting together."

"Yes, Brigadier."
