"Lao Zhang, there seems to be some movement in your pigpen. Could someone be trying to steal the pigs?"
"That's impossible, I'll go check it out!"
Yamamoto Ikki could understand Chinese. After hearing this, he immediately gritted his teeth and lay down, completely ignoring the pig feces on the ground, and crawled towards the deepest part of the pigpen. Now the sky was beginning to darken, and the deep part of the pigpen was pitch black. Without careful observation, you could not see clearly.
"Nothing, our two babies are eating!"
"It's good that they're not lost. Our whole village is counting on your two pigs for the New Year. You must keep a close eye on them and make sure they don't get eaten by wolves!"
"Well, I'm not afraid of wolves, but I'm afraid the Japs will come and raid us again. If we're discovered, we won't even have pig hair to eat!"
"Damn little Japs!"
After the two villagers took a look at the pigpen and found that there was nothing wrong with it, they slowly left. However, when they were a distance away, one of them suddenly whispered, "Did you see clearly?"
"Look carefully, it's a devil, and he seems to be injured!"
"When the Eighth Route Army passed by this afternoon, they said they were chasing the Japs. Could they be chasing this?"
"It should be him, probably a high-ranking Japanese official!"
"You keep an eye on it, I'll go report to Lao Li!"
"it is good!"
After waiting for the two villagers to leave, Yamamoto Ikki crawled out from the depths of the pigpen again. He took a look at the trough where the two pigs were eating, swallowed his saliva, and then prepared to crawl out of the pigpen. However, just when he was halfway up, a wooden shovel suddenly appeared and hit Yamamoto Ikki on the head.
Yamamoto Ikki felt a black screen before his eyes and he passed out without knowing anything.
Half an hour later, another villager returned to the village with a group holding torches. "Erlangzi, Erlangzi, are you still there?"
"Here I am, Lao Zhang. I knocked him unconscious with a shovel when he tried to run. Now I've tied him up!"
A villager named Lao Zhang immediately brought the soldiers from the district squad to the entrance of the pigpen and saw Yamamoto Ikki tied up.
"This is a devil colonel!"
"When the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment came today, they said they were trying to capture a Japanese colonel. That must be him!"
"Of course it is! Let's get him out quickly and send him to the New 1st Regiment!"
"what!"
The captain of the district team took out the few dollars and some food from his pocket and handed them to Lao Zhang, saying, "Lao Zhang, take these for now. I'll give you a reward when I return from the main force!"
When Lao Zhang heard this, he immediately said, "What are you doing? Fighting the Japanese is our job. Take it back!"
After the two of them refused for a while, Lao Zhang finally packed up the things. However, how to bring Yamamoto Ikki to the New Regiment became a troublesome issue. After all, Yamamoto Ikki was covered in wounds. To get to the New Regiment, he had to walk over the mountain at night. The flatbed truck could not go on the mountain road. Some roads could only accommodate one person, and it was inconvenient to carry someone on his back.
"This is easy, just watch me!"
After hearing this, Lao Zhang immediately took out a large carrying pole from his home, and then tied Yamamoto Ikki to the carrying pole like a pig.
"That's all it takes. There's no problem walking on mountain roads. That's how I carried my pig back home!"
Chapter 50 Are you sending away beggars?
In the narrow gap between the sky and the broken walls, the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment were rescuing various supplies from the ruins.
The Japanese bombers came three times and destroyed all the buildings that could be seen within the narrow passage.
Li Yunlong stood silently beside the ruins of the arsenal, smoking a cigarette and watching the soldiers move out some machines that were buried under the rubble.
"Captain Li, we found several bodies. They belong to factory workers!"
Director Yang trotted over to Li Yunlong and reported in a low voice.
"Hasn't everyone evacuated? Why are there still people?"
"Captain Li, the workers were worried about the equipment and wanted to check it out, but the Japanese bombers came again."
Director Yang lowered his head in shame and spoke slowly.
Li Yunlong sighed deeply after hearing this. He understood the workers' feelings. In their eyes, these equipment were indeed very important. They could produce weapons to fight the Japanese. If they could rescue some equipment, the soldiers would have one more bullet and one more gun on the battlefield, and maybe they could kill one more Japanese.
"From now on, we'll issue a military order to everyone: if we're attacked, all of these workers must evacuate. Every one of them!"
Li Yunlong took a bite of his cigarette butt and threw it forcefully to the ground. "Director Yang, you should know how rare it is to have a skilled worker. Even if you don't use a machine to load bullets manually, it takes several months to train a skilled worker. If I lose the machine, I can make it and seize it. But if you lose the man, you lose everything. You must remember that if you save the land but lose the man, you lose both the land and the man. If you save the man but lose the land, you save both the man and the land!"
Director Yang stared at Li Yunlong preaching to him in amazement, feeling a little unbelievable. After all, these words came from Li Yunlong's mouth. Although Li Yunlong had made some practical machines with his hands and invented a submachine gun, Director Yang still couldn't get used to Li Yunlong who was always talking about big principles.
"Don't worry, Captain Li. I will definitely strengthen the ideological training of the workers in the future. We will never lose sight of the big picture again!"
Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Okay, you guys take care of yourself here first, I'll go somewhere else!"
After saying that, Li Yunlong rushed towards the ruins of the field hospital.
After wandering around in the canyon of Yixiantian until dark, Li Yunlong returned to the temporary regimental headquarters. The temporary regimental headquarters was built in the canyon of Yixiantian, and it could not be discovered by bombers when viewed from the air.
The troops that followed Li Yunlong to attack the stronghold have all returned, and the seized supplies have been piled up in the Yitiantian Canyon.
"Captain Li, what are the casualties of the troops?"
Chu Yunfei, accompanied by officers from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, immediately went to meet Li Yunlong when they saw him coming.
"It's not good. The hospital, arsenal, and some other units were blown up by the Japanese. It will take a lot of time to rebuild. Captain Chu, you have a good relationship with Commander Yan. Please say something good to me. I suffered heavy losses this time!"
Chu Yunfei and the others smiled awkwardly after hearing this. They understood the hidden meaning behind Li Yunlong's words and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, Captain Li. I will report the situation of the New 1st Regiment truthfully!"
Li Yunlong nodded and said, "You guys take a rest first. I still have a lot of things to deal with. I can't accompany you today!"
"Okay, we also know about your group's situation and are ready to leave. This time, I learned a lot from studying with Captain Li!"
Chu Yunfei and others came to say goodbye. The New 1st Regiment had suffered such a heavy loss. They would definitely not be able to learn anything if they continued to stay in the New 1st Regiment, so it would be better to leave early.
A regimental commander of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army cheerfully walked up to Li Yunlong, took out some remaining silver coins, and said, "Captain Li, I don't have anything else on me. These are for you, Commander Li. I hope your regiment can overcome this difficult time."
After seeing this, the other officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army also "generously donated" some of the things they had with them and handed them to Li Yunlong.
After seeing this, Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes slightly and his face turned cold: "I appreciate the kindness of the regiment commanders, but the New 1st Regiment is not so poor that it needs to beg for food. Please send us away!"
When the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army heard Li Yunlong's words, their faces immediately turned red. They were indeed in the mood to watch the fun. After all, Li Yunlong had killed two Japanese major generals and a bunch of officers in front of them, and had made great contributions. They were very jealous.
As a result, Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment Headquarters was attacked and bombed by the Japanese, which slightly suppressed their jealousy and even made them feel a little gloating.
Giving some scattered dollars seemed like helping Li Yunlong, but in fact it was more like alms. After all, these people were regiment commanders and battalion commanders. Seeing that the New 1st Regiment had suffered heavy losses, they really wanted to help, so they gave some of the change they carried with them.
"you……"
A regimental commander of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was somewhat unhappy when he heard this. Just as he was about to argue, Chu Yunfei stopped him: "Captain Li, you misunderstood. We really want to help your regiment. How about this, Captain Li, tell us if you need anything and we'll see if we can help you."
Li Yunlong snorted coldly upon hearing this, "That's more like it. I, Li Yunlong, believe that I've been teaching you diligently since you came here, without holding back. I'll just give you some tuition as a disaster relief for the New 1st Regiment, isn't that a problem?"
Zhao Gang touched Li Yunlong lightly, and Li Yunlong pretended not to feel anything. In fact, the longer Li Yunlong was in this world, the more he could understand Li Yunlong's behavior in the original work. If you don't take advantage of others, you are a bastard, so you should take advantage of them whenever you can.
In the original novel, didn't Li Yunlong know that doing so would lead to ridicule? Of course he did, but if a few laughs were made, his soldiers would have an extra uniform for the winter, an extra bullet to fight the Japanese, and an extra bite to eat. So what if they laughed at him? Li Yunlong wouldn't lose any weight anyway.
Li Yunlong's rogue behavior was directed at the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. These people had good food and good things to do, but they were very bad at fighting the Japanese. It would be better to take their equipment to the New 1st Regiment and let the New 1st Regiment fight.
"Since Captain Chu has spoken, I, Li Yunlong, will not be polite. The hospital was bombed, and many medicines could not be rescued. I hope that the captains can help me get some medicine. After all, you have seen that there are many wounded. These are all veterans who were injured in the fight against the Japanese!"
"The arsenal has also been destroyed, and we may not be able to produce bullets for a while. I have no shortage of guns, but I do need bullets. I hope the captains can be generous and donate!"
In addition to bullets and medicines, Li Yunlong also asked for food, military uniforms, etc. He asked about everything he could think of.
After hearing this, several commanders of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army looked at each other, and finally looked at Chu Yunfei. After all, it was Chu Yunfei who started the conversation, and now they could only wait and see how Chu Yunfei would solve it.
Chapter 51: You leaders will not deny your responsibility, right?
"Captain Li, our regiment still has some surplus guns and ammunition. How about this? My 358th Regiment will provide your New 1st Regiment with 100 rifles and 20,000 rounds of ammunition. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Captain Chu for his generous donation on behalf of the brothers of the New 1st Regiment!"
After saying that, Li Yunlong looked at the other regimental commanders of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Originally, Li Yunlong wanted to find an opportunity to collect some tuition fees, and this time he was just taking the opportunity to make trouble. After all, wanting to get rid of Li Yunlong with just a dozen dollars did seem like getting rid of a beggar.
"Captain Li, our 346th Regiment can provide you with some medicine and ammunition, but we really don't have a surplus of weapons!"
"Thank you, Commander Feng! Our hospital is short of medicine. Many soldiers died in their hospital beds instead of being killed by the Japanese because of lack of medicine! Thank you, Commander Feng!"
Li Yunlong had said so much, and Captain Feng could only grit his teeth and agree to send the next batch of medicines and bullets.
"Captain Li, we..."
"Captain Li..."
Li Yunlong thanked the Jinsui Corps commanders one by one, without showing any sign that he had just said angrily that he wanted to see them off.
"Thank you all for your assistance, captains. If you need me, Li Yunlong, please let me know. I, Li Yunlong, will definitely do my best!"
"Captain Li, you're too polite!"
Some of the Jinsui Corps commanders looked at Li Yunlong's smiling face, but in their hearts they were thinking about how to deny what they had just said when they returned. They did have the things, but why should they give them to Li Yunlong? Wouldn't it be better for them to use them themselves?
Even if they can’t be used up, they can be sold on the black market in exchange for a lot of small yellow croakers.
Li Yunlong glanced at the group of Jinsui Corps commanders in front of him. He didn't know how many of these people kept their words, but Li Yunlong didn't intend to give them a chance to regret.
"Zhang Dabiao, take some brothers with you to escort the captains back to the regiment, and then bring back the supplies that the captains promised to our regiment!"
After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he slapped his head and said, "Commanders, although I am a good battalion commander, I am not very smart and can't remember things. Did you write down everything that Lao Zhao just said?"
Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong and asked himself, but he didn't react for a moment, but still said casually: "I've written it down."
"Write it down, have the group leaders sign it, and have Zhang Dabiao take it with him, so there won't be any mistakes!"
Zhao Gang immediately understood what Li Yunlong meant. He was afraid that the commanders of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would go back on their word, so he asked them to write it down in black and white. This way, he would not be afraid that these people would not admit it. If someone really did not admit it, Li Yunlong could use some tricks later.
Zhao Gang quickly wrote down the supplies that the Jinsui Corps commanders had just wanted to give to the New 1st Regiment. Li Yunlong took it and immediately said with a smile, "You commanders are definitely not the kind of people who would refuse to pay back their debts. However, these people under my command have short memories. Please sign them!"
Several regimental commanders of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army looked at each other, then looked at Li Yunlong who was smiling. They had figured out this guy's temper. He was a dog and could turn against them at any time.
After looking at Li Yunlong for a few seconds, Chu Yunfei took out the pen he carried with him and signed his name directly on the notebook.
The others sighed after seeing this. With Chu Yunfei taking the lead, even if Commander Yan wanted to hold someone accountable, it would be Chu Yunfei who took the lead and they would be forced to do so.
"Captain Li, are you relieved now?"
Chu Yunfei handed the notebook to Li Yunlong and asked with a smile, but there was a hint of indifference in his tone, and it was obvious that he was a little unhappy with Li Yunlong's behavior.
However, none of this matters to Li Yunlong. The most important thing is to get these weapons, ammunition and medicines into his own hands.
"I, Li Yunlong, once again represent the New 1st Regiment and thank all the regimental commanders for their generous donations. Zhang Dabiao, you must escort all the regimental commanders back safely!"
"Yes, Captain, I will ensure that the mission is completed!"
