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

Chapter 84 The brigade commander knows more manners than you

Fujita Ichiji said confidently, "Besides, these baits are being watched by your three regiments. If they were to be lost right under your noses, you would all be excellent commanders who wouldn't let that happen, right?"

joke!

We have three regiments forming an ambush. If the Eighth Route Army can still escape by taking the bait, then what's the point of being a military police captain? He might as well commit seppuku.

Kuroshima Morita immediately said seriously, "If the Eighth Route Army can still steal things right under my nose, they'd have to have wings!"

Ueno no Mura solemnly declared, "Are my cannons and machine guns just for show? Even if those Eighth Route Army soldiers grew wings, I would still shoot them down!"

“That’s right. With your three regiments guarding the area, if the Eighth Route Army dares to come, they won’t be able to escape!” Fujita Ichiji said confidently. “Just in case, I’ve also made another preparation.”

"What preparations?" Kuroshima Morita and Uenomura asked suspiciously.

"I've had all the key components of this batch of machinery removed," Fujita Ichiji said. "Even if the Eighth Route Army successfully takes the bait, they can't manufacture the parts themselves, so the machines are just scrap metal..."

Before Fujita Ichiji could finish speaking, Kuroshima Morita paused, then said, "Fujita-kun, you clearly don't trust us!"

Uenomura also said, "Fujita-kun, you really don't need to do this. If the Eighth Route Army dares to come, they won't be able to go back."

"Go and get some rest. Make sure the troops are well-fed and watered, and wait for my letter." Fujita Ichiji picked up the topic. "You fought a battle with Chu Yunfei, so you need to rest. First, deal with the Eighth Route Army, and then deal with Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment of the Jin-Sui Army."

"Okay." Kuroshima Morita and Ueno no Mura left.

Fujita Ichiji narrowed his eyes, brimming with confidence: "Baka! Watch how I kill you damned Eighth Route Army soldiers first!!"

386th Brigade Headquarters

As soon as Li Yunlong and Ding Wei returned to the brigade headquarters with the brigade commander, they saw Cheng Xiazi of the 772nd Regiment and Commander Xu of the 771st Regiment eagerly awaiting their arrival.

"What are you two doing standing here?" the brigade commander asked, feigning ignorance.

The brigade commander knew perfectly well what the two regimental commanders were up to.

When Li Yunlong attacked Ping'an County, he brought back his hell cannon.

These two regimental commanders dared not covet their own hell cannons; instead, they wanted to take advantage of the situation to target Li Yunlong's hell cannon.

"Brigade Commander, I have some work to report to you," Blind Cheng said with a grin.

"Except for Kong Jie, all four of you are here. Go to the conference room and wait for the meeting. I'll be there shortly," the brigade commander instructed.

"Yes, Brigade Commander." Blind Cheng nodded.

The brigade commander walked towards the brigade headquarters, while Li Yunlong, Cheng the Blind, and the others walked towards the conference room.

On the way, Blind Cheng gloated to Li Yunlong, "Li Yunlong, you thought you were so tough, huh? You even dared to attack Ping'an County. And what happened? The Hell Cannon got taken by the brigade commander, hahaha." "Blind Cheng, I'm tough, so what?" Li Yunlong glared. "I'm not like some people who only know how to take things the old way! If you're so capable, go out on the battlefield and capture some loot, then compare with me."

Commander Xu laughed and said, "Hey, Li Yunlong, your Hell Cannon has been taken by the brigade commander, and you're still so arrogant. If you're so capable, why don't you take the Hell Cannon back?"

"Gentlemen, don't think I, Li Yunlong, don't know what you're thinking." Li Yunlong said with an air of certainty that they were about to be disappointed. "I only asked the brigade commander to keep this hell cannon for me temporarily. Did you really think it was confiscated?"

Ding Wei added insult to injury: "You two, Li Yunlong and I, the two main regiments, have been equipped with Hellfire cannons first, but you two main regiments with official status don't. Don't be envious or jealous when the time comes."

"Hahaha." Li Yunlong laughed and said, "That's right, Lao Ding is right. You two shouldn't envy us later, and don't say it's unfair! The brigade commander is the most fair person when it comes to doing things!"

Blind Cheng and Commander Xu looked at each other, neither of them believing it.

Li Yunlong's attack on Ping'an County angered the brigade commander, who confiscated his "Hell Cannon." This "Hell Cannon" had just been brought to the brigade headquarters and hadn't even been used yet, so it was impossible for the brigade commander to return it to Li Yunlong.

As for Ding Wei also being able to wield a Hellfire Cannon, that's even more ridiculous!
If Ding Wei wants to get the Hell Cannon, he can only take the one that the brigade commander has.

This was the brigade commander's precious lifeline. Even though Cheng the Blind Man only mentioned it briefly, the brigade commander kicked him out of the brigade headquarters.

You think Ding Wei is some kind of stepchild, and he even drifted over from the Third Military Sub-district? Do you think the brigade commander would give Ding Wei that hell cannon? Bullshit!

So, Blind Cheng continued to laugh: "Li Yunlong, I can understand how you feel. The Hell Cannon was confiscated by the brigade commander, and you're feeling bad. You'd better not try to put on a brave face in front of us, lest the brigade commander exposes you in the end, and you'll feel even worse."

Commander Xu: "Ding Wei, you haven't been here long and don't know much about the situation. I still have to remind you, following Li Yunlong won't get you anywhere good. You'd better keep your distance from him. Look at you, you've only been with Li Yunlong for a few days and you've already learned to brag! Two basic regiments equipped with hellfire cannons, while our two main regiments have nothing, isn't that a joke!"

"Commander Xu, thank you for reminding me," Ding Wei said with a smile. "I was thinking, if my two main regiments and Li Yunlong's really were equipped with the Hell Cannon, and you and Blind Cheng were both empty-handed, who would be making a fool of themselves?"

Li Yunlong also burst into laughter, saying, "That's right, we'll have to see who's making a fool of themselves then, hahaha."

Blind Cheng and Commander Xu looked at each other, their expressions somewhat... well, let's just say they didn't know what to do.

Li Yunlong's hell cannon was confiscated, so he should have been cursing.

Provoked by the two main regimental commanders, Li Yunlong might even resort to fighting.

But Li Yunlong's emotions remained unchanged, and he showed no sign of disappointment.

Blind Cheng and Regiment Commander Xu couldn't help but wonder if Li Yunlong's hell cannon was really being kept safe by the brigade commander.
How is this possible!
Li Yunlong's attack on Ping'an County really infuriated the brigade commander.

As for Ding Weineng being able to wield the brigade commander's hell cannon, that's even more absurd!
Ding Wei is a newcomer who has only been here for a short time. To put it bluntly, Ding Wei is practically an outsider.

The brigade commander gave him the Hell Cannon, so what about our two main regimental commanders?
Cheng the Blind asked Li Yunlong suspiciously, "Li Yunlong, is the brigade commander really just temporarily keeping it for you?"

"Blind Cheng, our brigade commander knows more manners than you!" Li Yunlong said with disdain.

Trying to take advantage of my Hellfire Cannon? Dream on.
