Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 8: Richer than me, the brigade commander?
After more than half an hour of marching in the dark.

Li Yunlong finally led the reinforced battalion to the destination, Gouzi Village.

Near Gouzi Village, there is a cave called Jinggou.

This cave was discovered by Li Yunlong by chance when he was scouting the terrain. The entrance is relatively small, but there is a different world inside. It is easy to hide hundreds of people inside.

Apart from the local people, no one knows what is inside the cave.

The local people had already fled, taking their food, livestock and property and hiding in the mountains.

"This is the cave."

Li Yunlong pointed to a dark hole and repeated his battle plan:
"Our ambush site is on the highway over there. We have to hide in this cave tonight and tomorrow and give the Japanese a blind spot."

"Once the Japanese break through the 73rd Division's first line of defense, Sakata's regiment will definitely move forward. That will be our chance to kill Sakata!"

"First battalion commander!"

"Have!"

"You lead the soldiers into the cave first. I'll take the reconnaissance squad to scout the road to ensure everything is safe."

"Yes!"

Then, Li Yunlong led the reconnaissance squad and headed towards the highway.

Since Li Yunlong had come here for reconnaissance before, he was familiar with the terrain and had it all in his mind.

Not long after, Li Yunlong returned to the cave entrance. At this time, half of the soldiers had already entered the cave.

"Song Camp."

Li Yunlong found the battalion commander and gave an order:
"The remaining warriors who haven't entered the cave yet, don't go into the cave yet. Let them go to the village and the wild to collect dry grass."

"Yes, Captain. What are we collecting dead grass for?" Song Daying first accepted the order, and then asked in a puzzled tone.

Li Yunlong said, "After the Japanese army passes, several hundred of us will ambush them on both sides of the road. We will collect dry grass to keep warm and prevent them from being detected by Japanese aircraft."

"Yes!" Song Daying secretly thought that the captain was very thoughtful.

Then Song Daying whispered to the soldiers, "Everyone, listen to my orders. Go to the village and the wild to collect dead grass. The more the better. Act quickly."

……

Early the next morning.

The brigade commander also led the 771st and 772nd Regiments, two main regiments, into the position.

Although according to the current situation, the right wing of Xinkou is not the main attack direction of the Japanese.

However, the Chinese troops stationed here were also on high alert to prevent the Japanese from making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.

Brigade Headquarters.

The brigade commander, wearing a leather jacket and a pair of round-frame glasses, stared at the map on the table with a frown on his face, showing an extremely determined look.

Immediately, the brigade commander looked up and asked in a deep voice, "Old Chen, are the telephone lines of each regiment connected?"

Deputy Brigade Commander Chen immediately replied, "Reporting to the Brigade Commander, the telephone lines of all regiments have been connected."

The brigade commander immediately said, "Get me a new regiment immediately. I'm not worried about anyone else, I'm only worried about this Li Yunlong. What trouble will he cause me?"

Chief of Staff Zhou said, "That shouldn't be the case. It takes capital to start something. The New 1st Regiment is broke right now. What can Li Yunlong do?"

Brigade Commander: "That's hard to say!"

At this moment, Deputy Brigade Commander Chen covered the receiver and handed the phone over: "Brigade Commander, the call from the New 1st Regiment has been connected."

The brigade commander took the phone and put it to his ear: "Hello, this is brigade headquarters. Has your regiment entered the position?" The voice of Deputy Regimental Commander Zhong came from the receiver: "Report to the brigade commander, our regiment has been ordered to enter the right wing position."

Brigade Commander: "Where's Li Yunlong? Let Li Yunlong answer the phone."

"Report to the brigade commander, the regimental commander he...he..." Deputy Regimental Commander Zhong's tone suddenly became hesitant.

"What happened to Li Yunlong?" The brigade commander was shocked. Could something have happened to Li Yunlong?
The brigade commander personally inquired about the matter, and Deputy Regiment Commander Zhong did not dare to hide it, and immediately reported the whole matter to the brigade commander.

The brigade commander asked sternly, "Why didn't you report yesterday?"

Deputy Regimental Commander Zhong answered cautiously and truthfully, "The Regimental Commander forbade us to report this, saying that the ambush on the Sakata Regimental Headquarters was a minor matter and not worth alarming you, the Brigade Commander."

The brigade commander immediately scolded him: "Nonsense! Deputy Regimental Commander Zhong, you are also an old revolutionary, how could you make such a mistake? I asked you to go to the New 1st Regiment to manage Li Yunlong, not to let you be a good teacher. When such a big thing happens, you should report it in time..."

Seeing the brigade commander get angry, everyone in the brigade headquarters fell silent.

Although the brigade commander has a good temper, he can be scary when he gets angry.

Deputy Regimental Commander Zhong said, "Brigade Commander, Li Yunlong has a bad temper. I'm the deputy regiment commander, not the political commissar, so I can't control him at all."

Deputy Commander Zhong also feels aggrieved. As a deputy commander, I am asked to manage the commander, and to manage Li Yunlong at that. Isn't this putting him in a difficult position?

The brigade commander quickly regained his composure: "Okay, I understand this matter. You will proceed according to the original plan. In addition, I will send the brigade's direct special forces battalion to support your New 1st Regiment. No matter what happens, I must make sure Li Yunlong is alive!"

Deputy Regimental Commander Zhong: "Yes, Brigade Commander!"

After finishing speaking, the brigade commander hung up the phone with a snap: "Pass my order, the special forces battalion will immediately go to the position of the New 1st Regiment and obey the command of Deputy Regiment Commander Zhong!"

Since Li Yunlong's safety was at stake, the brigade commander ordered the special forces battalion to provide support as soon as he hung up the phone.

"Yes!" Chief of Staff Zhou immediately picked up the phone and conveyed the order.

Deputy Brigade Commander Chen turned around and asked in surprise, "Brigade Commander, what happened?"

Deputy Brigade Commander Chen had just gone to observe the terrain with a telescope, so he didn't hear what Deputy Regimental Commander Zhong said.

The brigade commander then explained the situation of the new regiment.

After hearing this, Deputy Brigade Commander Chen's eyes widened. "No wonder Li Yunlong took such a big risk to kill Sakata. It turns out Li Yunlong has made a fortune."

Suddenly, the brigade commander was happy: "100 Czech-style guns, 100 submachine guns, 5000 grenades, 20 rounds of ammunition, 2 infantry guns and 1000 rounds of artillery shells. This kid Li Yunlong is richer than me, the brigade commander."

眼下整个129师约1万人，装备重机枪 29挺、轻机枪 93挺，手提机枪72支，迫击炮6门。

The so-called portable machine gun is equipment such as submachine guns.

整个师都才120多挺轻重机枪，72支冲锋枪，386旅顶多只有60多挺轻重机枪和30多支冲锋枪。

The 129th Division's mortars were all used in a concentrated manner, so the 386th Brigade did not even have a single gun.

However, Li Yunlong's regiment of less than a thousand people now has 100 light machine guns and 100 submachine guns of top quality and sufficient ammunition.

Li Yunlong also had two infantry guns in his hands, making the firepower of the entire New 2st Regiment stronger than the combined firepower of the two main regiments and the independent regiment.

More importantly, if Li Yunlong could kill Sakata, he would not only make a great contribution, but also receive a batch of weapons and ammunition.

Who is working with Li Yunlong?
Why does the other party have so many weapons and ammunition?
Will there be further cooperation in the future?

How much weapons and ammunition does Li Yunlong plan to hand over to the brigade headquarters?

snort…

If Li Yunlong does not voluntarily hand over his weapons and ammunition, then I would congratulate him on his fortune.
