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

Chapter 5: The Independent Regiment Cooks Explosives, Li Yunlong's Worries

Nothing happened all night.

The next morning.

Yangcun, the headquarters of the independent regiment.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie had just returned triumphantly from Wanjia Town with their spoils when they learned that Liang Kang, the regiment's chief of staff, had been captured by the puppet army.

"What? Staff Officer Liang was captured by the puppet army? Why didn't you report it to me earlier?" Li Yunlong was shocked.

Political Commissar Zhao Gang said angrily: "Old Li, you are so shameless. If you hadn't acted on your own, I wouldn't have been able to find you. How could I not tell you?"

"..." Li Yunlong was speechless for a moment. After two seconds of silence, he asked again: "Where was Staff Officer Liang captured by the enemy?"

Zhao Gang: "Liuzhuang."

Li Yunlong had also heard of Liuzhuang Stronghold and Xu Yang, and his face suddenly darkened: "Damn it, is this Xu Yang tired of living? I thought he was honest before, so I never did anything to him. I didn't expect him to be so bold now and dare to touch the Tai Sui Lord!"

"First Battalion, assemble immediately!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Dabiao agreed and quickly ran away to join the gathering team.

Zhao Gang asked, "Old Li, what are you going to do? Are you going to act on your own again?"

Li Yunlong: "What do you mean by acting on your own? Our comrades have been captured by the enemy. Are we just going to watch them?

If we delay the opportunity and let Xu Yang hand over Staff Officer Liang to the devils, we will have no chance to rescue him. "

"But……"

Before Zhao Gang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Yunlong: "No buts, Staff Officer Liang must be rescued."

After saying that, Li Yunlong was about to turn around and leave, but Zhang Dabiao suddenly rushed in from outside and almost bumped into him.

"Zhang Dabiao, why did you come back so soon? Has the first battalion assembled?"

Zhang Dabiao: "Staff Officer Liang is back."

Li Yunlong was stunned: "What? Staff Officer Liang is back?"

Zhang Dabiao: “Yes.”

Deputy head Kong Jie quickly asked, "Where is Staff Officer Liang?"

Zhang Dabiao: "Just got back, should be almost at the entrance of the regiment by now."

Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang hurried out and saw Liang Kang pushing a wheelbarrow at the entrance of the regiment.

"Political Commissar, Head of the Regiment, and Deputy Head of the Regiment."

Liang Kang quickly stopped wiping the sweat from his forehead, stood at attention and saluted.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang both joined the Airborne Independent Regiment not long ago, so strictly speaking, Kong Jie was Liang Kang's old superior and was the one he was most familiar with.

After returning the greeting, Kong Jie was the first to ask, "Liang, weren't you captured by Xu Yang? Why are you back?"

"The thing is, to be precise, it wasn't Xu Yang who arrested me, but Tian Jinshui, the deputy captain of the security team..."

At that moment, Liang Kang reported the whole incident truthfully.

Kong Jie was surprised and said, "You mean, Xu Yang not only killed Tian Jinshui and his four men, but also released you, and also gave you a bag of fertilizer powder and five kilograms of sugar."

Liang Kang nodded: "Yes."

Li Yunlong said: "Xu Yang is sensible, otherwise I would have torn his head off."

After a pause, Li Yunlong seemed to have grasped something and continued, "By the way, Staff Officer Liang, you said Xu Yang told you that fertilizer powder can be used to make high explosives, and that adding sugar will make the explosives more powerful?"

Liang Kang: "Yes, that's what Xu Yang told me. He also gave me an instruction manual on how to use fertilizer powder to make high explosives." After saying that, Liang Kang took the instruction manual out of his pocket and handed it to Li Yunlong.

In the TV series "Drawing Sword", Li Yunlong appears as an illiterate rough man.

In fact, the Eighth Route Army had literacy classes for officers and provided literacy training to cadres on a regular basis. By the time cadres reached the regimental level, although they were not extremely talented, they still knew the basic commonly used characters.

So, Li Yunlong acted like a rough guy and played dumb.

He did not recognize any document that was unfavorable to him, but he recognized it immediately if it was favorable to him.

After reading the manual, Li Yunlong handed it to Zhao Gang, who was craning his neck, and asked, "Old Zhao, you are a college student with the highest level of education. Take a look at this manual. Is it reliable?"

Zhao Gang said solemnly: "I don't know either, this is not my major, otherwise I would have gone to the Arsenal.

But, aren’t there detailed steps in the instructions? The materials are also readily available. Wouldn’t it be easy to tell if it’s reliable by experimenting?”

"Well, that makes sense."

Li Yunlong nodded, and then he opened his voice and shouted: "Chief Cook, Chief Cook, quickly take up your responsibility..."

……

Liuzhuang stronghold.

"Yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn..."

Xu Yang yawned several times in a row and couldn't help cursing, "Who the hell is cursing me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Tong rushed in from outside: "Captain, the combat report has been written, please take a look."

Xu Yang took the combat report and read it, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Well, the combat report is very well written, but our combat losses have to be increased by 50% to reflect the intensity and difficulty of this battle.

I have to go to the county town to develop the photos. Please give them to me after you have done the editing."

……

This side of Yangcun.

Li Yunlong and others had set up a big pot in the open space outside the regiment headquarters and started to cook fertilizer powder.

The whole process is quite long.

Li Yunlong then brought Kong Jie and Zhao Gang back to the regiment headquarters.

"Old Kong, Staff Officer Liang knows a lot of our military secrets. Do you think the Japanese might have let him back on purpose?"

Kong Jie said anxiously, "Old Li, what do you mean? Are you doubting the faith of Chief of Staff Liang?"

Li Yunlong: "Of course I don't doubt the faith of Staff Officer Liang, but not everyone can withstand the torture of the devils. To put it bluntly, even you, Kong Jie, may not be able to withstand it.

Staff Officer Liang obviously had many wounds on his body, which meant he had been tortured by the enemy."

Kong Jie: "Didn't Staff Officer Liang say that the person who tortured him was Tian Jinshui, the deputy captain of the Liuzhuang Security Team? This guy has been shot dead by Xu Yang."

Li Yunlong: "Lao Kong, calm down. I know that Liang is your old subordinate. You feel bad for suspecting him. I don't want to either. But now is not the time to be emotional. We have to be responsible for the entire independent regiment and even the comrades of the entire Eighth Route Army.

We have to be extremely careful.”

Kong Jie fell into deep thought.

Li Yunlong added: "There are obviously many loopholes in what Staff Officer Liang said. We know Xu Yang. He is a coward. Although he never makes things difficult for our Eighth Route Army, it is impossible for him to take a huge risk and kill the confidant planted by the devils around him and release Staff Officer Liang.

This will do him no good. Once he is discovered by the devils, he will be doomed."

Kong Jie opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn't find any reason...
