Bright Sword: I am an undercover agent in the puppet army

Chapter 28: Brigade Commander: Li Yunlong, I congratulate you on getting rich
Li Yunlong slept particularly soundly and slept until the next morning.

He seemed to vaguely dream that the brigade commander called him to congratulate him on his fortune, and he suddenly woke up from the nightmare, sweating profusely.

"Bang Bang Bang."

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door, followed by the distinctive Henan accent of Monk Wei: "Captain, commander, are you awake? The brigade commander called to see you."

Li Yunlong was shocked again, thinking, could it be that his nightmare came true?

The dream is reversed!

"I'll be right away."

Li Yunlong got up nervously, dressed, went out, walked across the yard to the regiment headquarters and picked up the phone.

"Brigadier, are you looking for me?"

The brigade commander's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Li Yunlong, congratulations on your fortune!"

Li Yunlong was struck by lightning. He quickly adjusted his mentality and pretended to be stupid: "What kind of fortune do we want to make? Our independent regiment is so poor that we can barely make ends meet."

The brigade commander frowned and said, "How could this be hidden from my eyes? I tell you, I knew about it yesterday afternoon.

I called you today so that you can have a good sleep.

Tell me the truth, how much benefit did you get this time?"

Li Yunlong: "Oh, not much, just about the food for our independent regiment for a year. I'm planning to expand the regiment, so it will only last for a few months at most."

The brigade commander's face darkened. "Our brigade doesn't even have enough food for half a month. You have enough food for a year, and you're still complaining to me that you're poor and can't even afford to eat?"

Li Yunlong quickly flattered him, "Commander, just for your reputation, if you just raise your arm, the food will come in droves."

Brigade Commander: "Stop talking nonsense, keep 30% of the food, and send the rest to the brigade headquarters.

As for the cash, keep it and use it to buy fertilizer powder from Captain Xu, so that you don't have to pay it back and have to allocate funds to you again."

Li Yunlong said bitterly: "What are you doing, Brigade Commander, robbing? Even if we are fleecing people, you are not as good as you. If you keep catching us and fleecing us, sooner or later you will fleece us bare.

Just shoot me, no, no, absolutely not!"

Brigade Commander: "Well, then we have to talk it over. You did not ask for permission..."

Li Yunlong interrupted, "Yes, yes, Brigade Commander, you said the same thing last time, and you're still saying the same thing now.

A higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking official. I'll admit defeat and I'll send someone to deliver the supplies to you later."

The brigade commander laughed and said, "You should have been so straightforward earlier. All right, the fertilizer powder at the arsenal has been almost used up. Go to Captain Xu to see if his goods have arrived."

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong hung up the phone in frustration and looked at the political commissar Zhao Gang beside him with an unfriendly look: "Old Zhao, was it you who reported it to me?"

Zhao Gang's face darkened and he said, "Old Li, who are you scolding? Can you speak more politely? What do you mean by snitching? Not only did you not ask for permission, but you also didn't allow me to write a battle report afterwards?"

After a pause, Zhao Gang changed the subject and said, "Old Li, your ideological awareness still needs to be improved..."

Before Zhao Gang could finish his words, Li Yunlong waved his hands impatiently and said, "Stop, stop, stop, stop, Old Zhao, I know what you are going to say.

A single flower does not make spring, a hundred flowers in full bloom make spring in the garden. Our independent regiment alone cannot defeat the powerful Japanese invaders. Only when all the Eighth Route Army troops become strong can we defeat the Japanese invaders and liberate all of China..."

"I've heard these words so many times that my ears are callused."

Zhao Gang smiled. Although Li Yunlong looked impatient every time he said it, at least he remembered it in his heart. This was a good start.

Li Yunlong looked at Liang Kang again: "Staff Officer Liang, has Captain Xu received any goods?" Liang Kang said: "Officer Zhu just sent me a message last night that Captain Xu has received more than 200 tons of goods, and there will be a lot of goods arriving later. Please prepare the money and you can go to trade."

"More than 200 tons?"

Li Yunlong was shocked: "Captain Xu must have some skills. He managed to get so much fertilizer powder in just a few days.

It’s just that the little money we have in our hands has to be spent before we can even warm it up.”

Kong Jie: "This money was originally obtained because of Captain Xu."

Li Yunlong: "It seems to be the case. In this way, we are using the money of the Japanese and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to buy the Japanese fertilizer powder, which means we didn't spend a penny at all."

Zhao Gang keenly grasped something: "What money from the Jinsui Army?"

"What? Lao Kong, what did you say about the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army?"

Li Yunlong accidentally let the cat out of the bag. He didn't want to dwell on this issue too much. He pretended to be dumbfounded for a while, then changed the subject and said to Liang Kang: "Liang, prepare the money. After breakfast, we will take people to Liuzhuang to purchase goods."

"Okay, Captain."

Liang Kang nodded.

……

Liuzhuang stronghold.

Li Yunlong brought the soldiers of the independent regiment and the common people of the base to purchase fertilizer powder. After Tan's identity was revealed, he was warmly received by Xu Yang this time.

In the reception room, the dining table was filled with delicious food.

Li Yunlong was not polite as he was on a business trip at public expense. While eating, he talked about the gains made in the attack on Heiyun Village.

Because the information was provided by Xu Yang, Li Yunlong did not conceal the matter of the batch of supplies of the 358th Regiment.

Xu Yang was stunned: "I never thought that the bandits in Heiyun Village were so bold that they not only robbed the Japanese, but also robbed the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army."

Li Yunlong grinned: "But, it's all good for Old Li."

Xu Yang asked again: "What about the mountain cat from Black Cloud Village?"

Li Yunlong: "Don't worry, brother Xu Yang, I have kept your instructions in mind. Not only did I kill the evil Shanmaozi, but I also killed all the other leaders of Heiyun Village, including Xie Baoqing.

We have also confiscated the weapons and equipment of those bandits, so they will not be able to do evil again."

Xu Yang nodded. By killing Shanmaozi, the fate of Monk Wei would be changed.

He seemed to have thought of something, and asked again: "By the way, Commander Li, the 358th Regiment is after all a friendly force of our Eighth Route Army. What are you going to do with their batch of supplies?"

Li Yunlong pretended to be serious and said: "What 358's supplies? Once they are in our hands, they are ours!
Besides, I, Old Li, kept a trick and didn’t reveal my identity and the number of the independent regiment to the bandits in Black Cloud Village. Even if Chu Yunfei went to Black Cloud Village, he wouldn’t know that I got their supplies.”

Xu Yang: "That being said, you did not conceal your identity as an Eighth Route Army soldier. Chu Yunfei only needs to do a little investigation to find out that it was your independent regiment that attacked Heiyun Village.

Moreover, if you stubbornly refuse to return the supplies, the other side will use it as an excuse to accuse you of undermining the united resistance against Japan.”

Li Yunlong: "No matter what, I will definitely not return the supplies."

Xu Yang smiled and said, "If Captain Li can't think of any good countermeasures, I do have a way..."
