Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 211 Li Yunlong, who can't stop laughing

At this moment, all of Chu Yunfei's 89 Lions and tens of thousands of soldiers were completely bewildered.

It's absolutely shocking! The battle hasn't even started yet! Their lion chief has been captured alive, and he even explicitly ordered the warriors to disregard his life and attack the command post.

Of course, Chu Yunfei's reinforced artillery regiment of the Eighty-Nine Lions also heard what Chu Yunfei and Wang Gensheng said. At this moment, the staff officer of the artillery regiment had already begun to order the artillerymen of the regiment to turn their guns and aim at the Eighty-Nine Lions' command post.

Honestly, if Chu Yunfei's artillery regiment were to be bombarded by the command post, Wang Gensheng's assault team of over a thousand men would definitely suffer heavy losses.

The artillery regiment staff officer's order had barely been given when the regimental commander kicked him to the ground, drew his pistol, and pointed it at the staff officer, saying:
"What are you trying to do? Do you want to kill Chief Chu? If you dare, I'll be the first to kill you!"

Indeed, Chu Yunfei's Eighty-Nine Lions were not a monolithic entity; they also had their own factions and cliques. For example, the commander of the artillery regiment was Chu Yunfei's staunch confidant, who had been the battalion commander of Chu Yunfei's artillery battalion back in the 358th Regiment.

As for the staff officer of this artillery regiment, he was Qiu Qingquan's man, and his role was to monitor and check him. So when the staff officer heard that Chu Yunfei had been captured, his first thought was to order the artillery regiment to bombard Chu Yunfei's command post.

In this way, not only can the enemy be eliminated, but Chu Yunfei can also be eliminated. After Chu Yunfei dies, he might be able to become the Lion Strategist.

After the artillery regiment staff officer was kicked to the ground by the regimental commander, he said aggrievedly:
"Commander, you heard it too, it was the Lion Chief who ordered the attack!"

"Damn it! Chief Chu just said that the entire lions should attack him, but he didn't say anything about bombarding him! Don't think I don't know what you're up to! If you dare to use cannons again, believe me, I'll shoot you dead right now!"

That's right. In order to prevent warlord conflicts and the emergence of powerful warlords, Lao Zi kept a close eye on all the military units under his command.

For example, the main lions in Qiu Qingquan's army are all graduates of Huangpu Military Academy. In this way, their relationship with Qiu Qingquan is not only that of superior and subordinate, but also that of fellow disciples.

This naturally weakened Qiu Qingquan's control over his troops. After all, we are fellow disciples and students of the same master, so there's no need for pretense. This naturally strengthened the old man's control over the army.

Therefore, Qiu Qingquan could only place his confidants in deputy positions to serve a surveillance role.

Just as the artillery regiment commander and staff officer of the Eighty-Nine Lions started arguing, Li Yunlong had already led the Two Lions over, and the entire artillery regiment, along with hundreds of cannons, became Li Yunlong's prisoners.

Not to mention the great gains on Li Yunlong's side, after Chu Yunfei gave the order, the team closest to Chu Yunfei naturally turned their guns around and attacked back immediately.

Unfortunately, by this time, Wang Gensheng's assault team was already prepared for battle.

Wang Gensheng, armed with an M2 heavy machine gun, stood ready. Facing the charging soldiers, he showed no mercy and immediately opened fire, the barrage of 12.7mm bullets becoming a death reaping line.

Faced with a dense charge, a single 12.7mm bullet can easily penetrate two, or even four or five targets.

Combined with Wang Gensheng's precise shooting based on his mental perception, Wang Gensheng was like a battlefield reaper. After he had fired all 200 rounds of his M2 heavy machine gun, the barrel of the M2 heavy machine gun turned red-hot, making it especially conspicuous in the night.

At this moment, Wang Gensheng also felt the extent of his own enhancement, which was at least half a time stronger, making his physical fitness about five times that of an ordinary person.

That's right, those two hundred bullets just now cost Wang Gensheng at least six or seven hundred soldiers who were charging towards him. Without time to think, he jumped into the trench, poured water on the red-hot barrel of his M2, and then replaced it with a new two hundred-round ammunition belt. Once again, Wang Gensheng transformed into a battlefield reaper.

The battle was quick, lasting only a little over half an hour. At this time, Wang Gensheng silently felt the changes in his body. In this battle, with the help of the night, Wang Gensheng caused at least nearly a thousand casualties when the heavy machine gun was fired at close range.

It should be noted that throughout the entire battle, the number of casualties among the Eighty-Nine Lions was only three thousand. Wang Gensheng alone lost a third of them, and the rest of the Eighty-Nine Lions naturally all surrendered.

Unable to break through Wang Gensheng's defenses, and with Li Yunlong's two lions attacking from behind, the eighty-nine lions surrendered quickly.

"Haha! I've struck it rich! I've struck it rich! Old Wang! Do you know how many cannons I captured this time? Over a hundred!"

At this moment, Li Yunlong was like a crooked-mouthed dragon king, his mouth agape. There was no way around it; although Li Yunlong was already a sergeant, his weapons were very weak. He didn't have a single large-caliber artillery piece, especially one with a caliber of over 100. Naturally, he was overjoyed to have captured so many large-caliber howitzers.

However, seeing Li Yunlong grinning from ear to ear, Wang Gensheng still reminded him:

"Hey! Don't forget, our Marine Corps also has a part in this battle, it's not just yours, Li Yunlong!"

However, Li Yunlong waved his hand dismissively when Wang Gensheng asked for a share of the spoils:

"Of course we'll divide it up! Apart from the artillery regiment, you can choose any equipment from the 89 Lions. I, Li Yunlong, will not hesitate!"

Wang Gensheng's lips twitched at Li Yunlong's words. The most valuable part of the entire Eighty-Nine Lions was the artillery regiment! If you don't let them take over the artillery regiment, its value will be reduced by at least half.

Fortunately, Wang Gensheng's marines focused on lightness, so he was not bothered by howitzers that weighed several tons.

What truly captivated Wang Gensheng was the submachine gun. He now naturally planned to replace two-thirds of the entire Marine Corps with submachine guns.

The battle report from this side was naturally transmitted to the Third Field Army Commander, as well as to Commanders Qiu Qingquan and Xu Zhou.

This result stunned both sides. The commander of the Third Field Army was worried about whether Li Yunlong could withstand it!

As it turned out, they launched a direct attack and wiped out Chu Yunfei's eighty-nine lions in less than an hour.

Old Zi was also stunned. His main weapon, the fully-equipped Lion, which he had spent a lot of money to build, only lasted for less than an hour before it was destroyed.

You should know that Qiu Qingquan's army corps was one of Chiang Kai-shek's five main army corps!
The Eighty-Nine Lions were the main force of Qiu Qingquan's army. At least one-third of the army's artillery firepower was in Chu Yunfei's Eighty-Nine Lions. But in the end, they all benefited Li Yunlong.

However, the cannons that Li Yunlong had just captured were quickly taken by the Third Field Army commander, who planned to use them to fire on Huang Baitao's corps, which had not yet surrendered.
