Bright Sword: From Border Region Manufacturing to Major National Heavy Industry

Chapter 53 What are you doing sneaking into the military police headquarters?

"Quickly, while the enemy is retreating, rush into the Dayue warehouse as fast as you can and move all the sugar for me."

Ding Wei decisively gave the order to the new regiment.

The troops of the New First Regiment surged like a tide, quickly engulfing the Dayue Warehouse.

"Commander, the warehouse has been emptied out." Soon, the battalion commander of the new regiment shouted excitedly to Ding Wei, "Besides three thousand catties of white sugar, there are also a lot of clothing, food and ammunition."

"Go!" Ding Wei decisively ordered a retreat.

"Yes, Commander." Ding Wei's new regiment quickly withdrew from the Dayue warehouse.

"Li Yunlong, what are you doing barging into the military police station, you son of a bitch?" Ding Wei cursed as he saw Li Yunlong and his men emerge from the military police station.

The brigade commander said not to cause any trouble, or you'll end up in the military police headquarters if you're not careful.

"Old Ding, I didn't delay the hauling of sugar, why are you yelling at me!" Li Yunlong pointed to the dozens of people he had rescued behind him, "These are all comrades who were captured by the Japanese and taken to the military police. I rescued them, was that wrong!"

Ding Wei looked behind Li Yunlong and said nothing more.

These comrades were all outstanding. They were captured by the Japanese and taken to the military police headquarters, where they suffered all kinds of torture, but they didn't say a word.

Also, the sugar was obtained without any delay.

"Hey kid, stop doing anything else and get going," Ding Wei said sternly. "The Japanese reinforcements are definitely on their way. We're out of Hellfire cannon shells. If we get blocked, things will get really bad."

"What a great opportunity! There's still so much profit to be made in this county that we haven't had time to squeeze out yet," Li Yunlong sighed, and could only retreat with Ding Wei.

Ding Wei comforted him, "Old Li, don't be disappointed. As long as we bring this sugar back, we'll have enough cannonballs for our Hell Cannon. Are you worried about not having a chance to attack this place again in the future?"

“That’s right, the county town is right here, it can’t escape!” Li Yunlong nodded. If it can’t be taken this time, Old Li will come again next time.

Li Yunlong and Ding Wei came in quickly and left just as quickly.

However, the Japanese reinforcements near the county seat moved faster.

I failed to stop the enemy yesterday and got a severe scolding.

If we can't stop the enemy today, this job will really be difficult.

Therefore, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei were still blocked by a group of enemies.

This group of enemies was afraid of Li Yunlong's artillery, so they spread their troops out in a staggered formation.

Li Yunlong and Ding Wei can break out without any problem, but it will definitely take up time.

The enemy's intention was clear: to hold back Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, allowing reinforcements from other strongholds to surround them. Reinforcements from the Ninth and Fourth Brigades were also on their way.

Once the encirclement is solid, this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers will have no chance of escaping.

"Damn it, if I still had any Hellfire cannon shells, I wouldn't let these enemies hold me back." Li Yunlong cursed angrily and yelled at Zhang Dabiao, "Dabiao, you organize a commando team and charge! Don't worry about casualties, we must save time!"

"Yes, Commander!" Zhang Dabiao roared, immediately organizing the assault team.

boom!
boom!
Da da da!
Da da da!
……

At this critical moment, intense gunfire erupted behind the enemy troops.

Li Yunlong and Ding Wei were taken aback. Who was this?
Upon listening carefully to the sounds of gunfire, Li Yunlong immediately said to Ding Wei, "Old Ding, this is Cheng the Blind from the 772nd Regiment."

That's right, the people who came were the 772nd Regiment, the 386th Brigade's own troops, sent by the brigade commander to pick up Li Yunlong and Ding Wei.

Li Yunlong knew what equipment the 772nd Regiment had, and upon hearing the enemy's gunfire, he immediately identified them. Ding Wei exclaimed with delight, "Old Li, we've truly found a way out today! This 'mother's son' has become our lifeline at this critical moment. We'll have to work on improving our relationship from now on..."

Before Ding Wei could finish speaking, Li Yunlong shook his head and interrupted, "Old Ding, don't get all sentimental. With Cheng the Blind Man from the 772nd Regiment's command skills, which I taught him, he only learned a little bit of what I taught him. How could he possibly have that kind of ability? I bet the brigade commander sent him to meet us."

"That's because we owe the 772nd Regiment a favor," Ding Wei said.

“If you want to remember this favor, I can’t control you, but I’m not going to,” Li Yunlong said. “I personally taught Blind Cheng how to shoot and how to fight. Blind Cheng owes me a lot of favors.”

With the support of the 772nd Regiment, the enemy forces were caught in a pincer attack and quickly collapsed, forced to retreat.

Cheng Xiazi of the 772nd Regiment joined forces with Li Yunlong and Ding Wei's troops.

Ding Wei still thanked Blind Cheng, saying, "Commander Cheng, thank you for coming to our aid in time. Otherwise, Lao Li and I would have been trapped."

"Old Ding, stop dawdling and hurry back." Li Yunlong urged before Cheng the Blind could respond.

The group quickly returned under cover of night, shaking off their pursuers.

On the way, Blind Cheng still wanted to take a look at Li Yunlong's Hell Cannon, but Li Yunlong stopped him: "Blind Cheng, what are you touching? What if you break the cannon?"

"Li Yunlong, this is a lump of iron, you'll break it if you touch it!" Blind Cheng curled his lip and said, "It's just a hell cannon, look at you acting all high and mighty. When we get back, I'll just take the hell cannon from the brigade commander."

"Oh, you blind Cheng, you really are the brigade commander's own son. The brigade commander always gives you priority when it comes to good things." Li Yunlong mocked blind Cheng, then changed the subject, "I don't believe the brigade commander would give you that hell cannon."

“Li Yunlong, don’t be so unconvinced. Watch how I get that hell cannon from the brigade commander.” Blind Cheng glared.

I was trying to help you out, but you won't even let me touch the Hell Cannon. Li Yunlong is as stingy as ever.

Once I get the hell cannon from the brigade commander, I won't care about you anymore.

What? I, Blind Cheng, can get the brigade commander's hell cannon?
Isn't this nonsense?

The brigade commander is a commander, but he doesn't participate in combat. This hell cannon can't just be a decoration at the brigade headquarters; it must be distributed to the regiments below.

I was born of my own mother, no doubt about it.

"Alright, I'll be watching. If you can't get it, don't even think about getting my hell cannon." Li Yunlong glanced sideways at Blind Cheng.

"Go away, who cares?" Blind Cheng waved his hand.

……

386th Brigade Headquarters

"Brigade Commander, I really didn't expect that these remaining small fry would actually be able to produce a few bigger fish." The deputy brigade commander said to the brigade commander with a smile, "We also managed to get over two hundred catties of sugar."

Adding the seventy-odd jin that were previously sent to the arsenal, this makes three hundred jin.

Li Yunlong and Ding Wei returned with 3,000 jin of white sugar, which is now 3,300 jin.

"Two hundred jin is nothing. I'm wondering if there will be any more idiots to surprise us later," the brigade commander laughed.

"Hahaha." The deputy brigade commander laughed too. "Brigade commander, aren't you being a bit too greedy? One fool's surprise isn't enough..."

Before the deputy brigade commander could finish speaking, someone quickly ran over to report: "Reporting to the brigade commander, Regiment Commander Li, Regiment Commander Ding, and Regiment Commander Cheng have returned."

"Looks like Li Yunlong and Ding Wei have finished their work." The brigade commander stood up and said to the deputy brigade commander, "Let's go take a look."
