Chapter 22 Old Li, you've come to visit your relatives?
To gain such a huge profit with the strength of a small squad is definitely a great success.
Zhang Shan and the others were so excited that they danced with joy; they had never achieved such a feat before!
Wang Yousheng truly admired Li Yunlong's combat skills, and now he understood how the New First Regiment had improved its combat effectiveness within a year.
With guerrilla tactics like that, it's no wonder they're making a fortune.
Of course, the Japanese transport convoy was not so easy to defeat.
This battle would have been almost impossible to complete without the help of the natural geographical environment and Li Yunlong's many years of combat experience.
But here's the problem: how do I take it with me?
"Old commander, we can't manage this. Ten boxes of grenades could crush us," Wang Yousheng said with a helpless smile.
Li Yunlong had already considered this problem, and said, "Can't carry them all? Load them all onto oxcarts!"
What to do with the military uniforms on the oxcart?
"Each person carries twenty sets, and the rest can be put on the oxcart. That's enough."
I'm hungry.
"Eating what the Japanese devils have already provided!"
In no time at all, everyone devoured the enemy's remaining lunch...
It took another twenty minutes to clean up the battlefield, and all the ammunition was loaded onto three oxcarts.
Before leaving, Li Yunlong set fire to three transport trucks and a motorcycle.
According to Li Yunlong, what we cannot obtain, we must destroy; we must never leave it to the Japanese devils.
The ten boxes of Arisaka bullets weighed a hefty 600 pounds, crushing the old oxen, but they could still move...
An hour later, the Japanese troops arrived. By then, Li Yunlong and the others had already driven an oxcart, carrying over 100 pounds of military uniforms, for several miles along the mountain road.
Liuchen Village.
Kong Jie's independent regiment has not yet been transferred to headquarters; it has been stationed in this village for several months.
Independent Regiment Command Post.
Li Yunlong came to visit his family with three hundred sets of military uniforms and a battalion's worth of spoils of war.
"Hey! When did I, Kong Jie, ever have such influence that Li Yunlong would personally bring me gifts? Thank you so much..."
Kong Jie sat in the main seat with a smile, smoking a pipe. Thinking of the equipment Li Yunlong had brought in for a whole battalion, tears welled up in his eyes from laughing.
Wang Yousheng sat down next to Li Yunlong. At this moment, he noticed that Li Yunlong's expression was not right, as if he was about to fight with Kong Jie.
Li Yunlong laughed and cursed, "Kong Erlengzi, you're dreaming! Those three hundred sets of uniforms are yours! Do you think you're a brigade commander, daring to covet my equipment!"
Li Yunlong added, "And another thing, I, the director of the clothing factory, personally delivered your uniform. I'm exhausted from the journey, so you'd better prepare some food and drinks so I can have a good meal."
Kong Jie took a puff of his pipe, crossed his legs, and laughed, "Look how arrogant you are. Your uniform was approved by headquarters. I, Kong Jie, didn't invite you here."
"Old Li, hehe, you're not in the front-line combat units, what do you need so much equipment for? My independent regiment has just been expanded and is short of equipment. You can either leave it to me, or I'll call the brigade commander."
Li Yunlong's face darkened, and he said, "Alright, alright, I know what you're thinking. Here are thirty guns and three thousand rounds of ammunition. Keep the rest for me. When I'm transferred back to the front line, you'll have to send them back to me intact."
Kong Jie refused to listen and said, "Thirty guns and three thousand rounds of ammunition? You're trying to fob me off? One price: one light machine gun, forty guns, and five thousand rounds of ammunition!"
Li Yunlong suddenly stood up, angrily saying, "You brat, back when we crossed the grasslands, whose leg was injured, and who carried you for ten miles? It was Old Li! And now you dare to talk to me about prices?"
"Let me tell you, I know tons of people around here. If you don't want to help, fine, I'll find Ding Wei, Blind Cheng, and Old Xu. Lots of warehouses are waiting for me."
After saying that, Li Yunlong waved his hand and said magnanimously, "Shengzi, let's go, let's take the equipment and go find Blind Cheng."
"yes!"
Wang Yousheng responded, thinking to himself that the regimental commander was not here to visit relatives at all, but clearly to find the warehouse where the weapons were hidden.
On the way here, Li Yunlong said that he would not feel at ease if he did not keep all this good equipment for himself.
Store the weapons in Kong Jie's Independent Regiment first, so that when he takes office, he will have enough firepower.
On the surface, Li Yunlong's behavior appears to be typical of a petty bourgeois mentality, clearly indicating a mistake. After all, headquarters has regulations requiring the reporting of captured weapons.
But in reality, Li Yunlong did this to protect the equipment.
If the equipment is brought back to the logistics department, the sheer volume of ammunition and equipment will damage the roads, and the Japanese troops in Mashun County will surely notice.
It would be bad if the location of the logistics department were exposed.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were old comrades-in-arms. He decided to give Kong Jie a little something and keep some for himself, but he didn't expect Kong Jie to ask for an exorbitant amount.
How could Li Yunlong agree to that? He had many old comrades-in-arms in northwestern Shanxi, and plenty of warehouses.
Kong Jie panicked when he saw Li Yunlong was about to leave.
The equipment promised by Li Yunlong could greatly enhance the Independent Regiment's combat effectiveness. I just wanted to push Li Yunlong a bit, but I didn't expect him to be even more ruthless than me.
"Old Li, Old Li, don't go! What's the rush? We can talk this over!"
Kong Jie chuckled and pulled Li Yunlong back into his chair.
Kong Jie chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, I promise you."
Li Yunlong said with slight displeasure, "That's more like it. Damn it, you're just like Ding Wei. The equipment I worked so hard to get is just sitting there being handed to you."
Kong Jie continued, "Old Li, we're all fighting the Japanese invaders. Let me be clear from the start: you've been working at the clothing factory for two months now, and the headquarters hasn't lifted your punishment yet. Consider this batch of weapons something I owe you."
If we really encounter the enemy and run out of ammunition, I might have to use your equipment.
Without hesitation, Li Yunlong said, "Okay, but you have to write me an IOU."
"You're something else, kid!"
The two of them, who had been arguing just moments before, started chatting happily together.
Wang Yousheng stood to the side without saying a word; he was just accompanying the old regimental commander out for some fresh air.
I successfully completed the two tasks given by the cheat code, defeated a squad of Japanese soldiers, and earned a total of over 15,000 points.
This trip was very rewarding!
[Initial detection: Aftershocks of combat detected within 1000 meters]
[Combat Reward: Shen Quan, 2nd Battalion, Independent Regiment, trains soldiers in grenade throwing, +50 points]
The reconnaissance platoon of the independent regiment will deploy sentries, earning +10 points...
Over an hour later, the points in the system kept increasing, and Wang Yousheng finally showed a satisfied smile.
However, this good fortune didn't last long...
Li Yunlong came to visit his family in the Independent Regiment and stayed for three days. During these days, the Independent Regiment's reconnaissance platoon frequently sent back intelligence.
The Japanese troops in Mashun County have clearly discovered the whereabouts of the ammunition and have been frequently mobilizing their troops recently, indicating a clear intention to expand outwards.
To put it bluntly, they came for the equipment of this entire battalion.
The destruction of the Japanese transport convoy and the stripping of the soldiers' clothes on the road was a great humiliation for the Japanese army.
