"Hayi!" Kuroda Shigenori knew that now was not the time to consider whether he could gain another star and take a step forward, but whether he could escape the blame.
Kuroda Shigenori walked out of the side hall in a daze, but soon calmed down. It was not the most desperate moment yet, and His Royal Highness the Prince had not given up on him. Thinking of this, hope ignited in Kuroda Shigenori's heart. It was indeed as His Royal Highness the Prince said, Datong was only occupied by this group of captives for one night and had not suffered major damage. Everything could still be saved.
As long as Datong is not destroyed, the mines operate normally and do not delay the coal needs of various regions, and with the help of His Royal Highness, perhaps he can survive this crisis.
Thinking of this, Kuroda Shigenori immediately left the banquet hall in a hurry, and several reporters who wanted to interview him were pushed away by him savagely.
At this time, the train Li Yunlong was riding was slowing down and arrived at the designated location.
"Finally back. Tell everyone to change into military uniforms immediately. Put away the Japanese soldiers' clothes."
Li Yunlong touched the heads of several little guys and gave an order that everyone in the car should wear Japanese military uniforms. Now that they have returned to the base, there is no need to disguise themselves as Japanese soldiers.
What if I walk down there wearing the Japanese military uniform and a soldier loses control of himself and his gun goes off accidentally? I don't want to go to the Russians to recuperate.
Not far from the railway, Kong Jie put down his binoculars and said, "Another train has arrived. The previous three trains brought machinery and heavy weapons. What could this train be? Where did this guy Li Yunlong make his fortune? Did he really empty Taiyuan?"
Ding Wei beside him was looking at the train below thoughtfully, and he had already made a rough judgment in his mind.
Chapter 220 Li Yunlong decided to be more generous to Kong Jie
"Hey, Captain, you're right, there really is a lieutenant general in the car!"
Yang Wanli was observing the train with a telescope. After seeing Li Yunlong, he immediately said excitedly to Kong Jie beside him.
"Lieutenant General? Is this true? Who has this brat Li Yunlong captured again? Why does he keep capturing Japanese lieutenant generals one after another..."
Kong Jie immediately looked over with a telescope, then gave Yang Wanli beside him a slap on the head: "You kid!"
"Hey, Captain, just tell me if Commander Li is a Lieutenant General!"
At this time, Li Yunlong had a cigarette in his mouth and looked up at the sky. Compared with Datong, Li Yunlong liked Taihang Mountains more. The moment the train left Taiyuan, Li Yunlong had a feeling that the sky was high and the birds could fly freely and the sea was wide and the fish could jump freely.
Looking at the various supplies loaded on the train, Li Yunlong now only wants to tell the Japanese one thing: little Japanese, from now on, the offense and defense will be changed!
Li Yunlong touched his pocket with a joyful mood, was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Dabiao beside him and said, "Zhang Dabiao!"
"Captain."
Zhang Dabiao blurted out when he heard Li Yunlong calling him seriously.
"Give me the lighter."
Zhang Dabiao looked at Li Yunlong and subconsciously covered his pocket and said, "Captain, you didn't even give me the lighter last time."
"Hurry up, I saw it all!"
Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhang Dabiao reluctantly took out the lighter, then stared at Li Yunlong with his hand stretched in the air, wanting to wait for Li Yunlong to finish using it before returning the lighter. However, Li Yunlong didn't even glance at it and put it directly into his pocket: "Okay, don't look aggrieved. Your lighter was taken away by the political commissar. Go find the political commissar and ask for it back yourself!"
After saying that, Li Yunlong ignored Zhang Dabiao. It was just a lighter. The look in his eyes was exactly the same as the one Kong Erlangzi gave him when he was tricked by him. However, now there are fewer and fewer people in the entire independent column calling him the commander. Although the title of commander sounds impressive, Li Yunlong still likes to hear his old subordinates call him the commander.
Even Wei Heshang, the playboy monk, has been calling him commander more often than regimental commander recently. When Li Yunlong looked up, he saw Kong Jie waving at him excitedly. After thinking for a while, he felt that he seemed to be quite sorry for Kong Jie, this fool, who had been bullying him, an honest man.
Because of poverty before, in order to develop a new regiment, Li Yunlong cheated Lao Kong a lot. After thinking about it, Li Yunlong decided to be more generous this time and give Lao Kong more things. He was not the kind of person who was afraid of his brothers driving a Land Rover.
As for Ding Wei standing next to Kong Jie?
Li Yunlong decided to trick this guy a few times first and then give him more. After all, Li Yunlong was jealous of Ding Wei. He had never been to the rear headquarters to see Mr. Li, but Ding Wei had met him and they reportedly chatted for two hours. Although the topics were all related to him, he was just jealous. It was such an honor to be able to communicate with Mr. Li for two hours. Why did Ding Wei deserve it!
"Don't just stand there, Kong Erlangzi. Come down and move the stuff. There are quite a few good things this time. Just take whatever you like!"
Seeing Kong Jie still waving foolishly, Li Yunlong couldn't help but laugh and scold.
Although Li Yunlong only spent ten days in Datong including the journey, he felt as if he were in another world. It felt great to see his old comrades again.
This trip to Datong only requires finishing work. As long as the large army can safely cross Mount Wutai and return to the Taihang Mountain base, the strength of the independent column and the entire Taihang Mountain base will see a qualitative leap.
With all kinds of machine tools and raw materials, and sufficient weapons and ammunition, Li Yunlong would be able to pull out a 107 rocket artillery regiment in a month, no, half a month, to let the Japanese feel what firepower coverage and equipment disadvantage are.
"You are so kind, aren't you planning to trick me again?"
Kong Jie came to Li Yunlong and looked at him carefully, feeling that Li Yunlong was definitely going to set a trap for him again.
"Take it or leave it, I've made a fortune on this trip. Do you know what it means to make a fortune? I, Li Yunlong, don't care about the little things you're eyeing. Let me tell you, Kong Erlangzi, in addition to the supplies on these four trains, more than 50 large trucks have already driven back to Ping'an County, and tens of thousands of people are rushing back with all kinds of supplies!"
Li Yunlong blew out a smoke ring and said to Kong Jie pretending to be indifferent.
Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong, who was half-raising his head and looking at the sky. He really wanted to say to Li Yunlong, "Look at what you can do!"
But he swallowed the words back and changed the subject, "Alright, Lao Li, I told you before that you would have a lot of potential in the future. Look, you really have. This time I won't be polite with you. Can you give me some of the rocket launchers you used to attack the artillery towers?"
"Here, are twenty enough?"
Kong Jie nodded immediately and said, "That's enough, that's enough. There's also the Type 92 infantry gun. The gun you gave me last time was taken away by the brigade commander before it even got warm. Don't tell on me this time!"
"How about giving you two guns and fifty rounds of ammunition?"
Kong Jie's eyes lit up. He immediately pulled out a small notebook from his pocket and quickly wrote: "Li Yunlong, commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Independent Column, has agreed to donate twenty rocket launchers, one Type 92 infantry gun, and fifty rounds of ammunition to the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division!"
Then he continued: "Light and heavy machine guns?"
"Give you ten guns, one hundred thousand rounds of ammunition!"
After hearing this, Kong Jie continued to write it down in his notebook, his face wrinkled with smile: "Lao Li, Lao Li, I told you that you wouldn't cheat me, Kong Jie. We are comrades who stir the pot and the ladle together. You can cheat others but you can't cheat me, right, Lao Ding!"
Kong Jie kept winking at Ding Wei, signaling Ding Wei to say something nice quickly and ask for some good things while Li Yunlong, the rich man, was in high spirits, otherwise he would not be able to get them by the time Li Yunlong realized what was happening.
Ding Wei coughed lightly and said, "Old Li, have you taken down Datong?"
Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei with some surprise: "Guessed it?"
"At first I thought you were targeting Taiyuan, but then I realized it was unlikely. I looked at the map for a long time and found that Shimen and Datong were the only possible options. The train came out of Taiyuan, so it could only be Datong!"
"Great!"
Li Yunlong gave Ding Wei a thumbs up. It was no wonder that Ding Wei was able to go to the rear headquarters to study. This showed that he had strategic thinking and strategic vision. If this kid did less outrageous things and sold less alcohol, he would not be able to be awarded just a major general in the future.
At this time, Kong Jie came over and said, "Datong, not Taiyuan? I always thought you had emptied Taiyuan!"
As soon as this was said, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei both laughed: "Taiyuan, it's probably going to be soon. The Japanese won't be able to run rampant for much longer. When the time comes, I'll take you with me to move Taiyuan!"
Ding Wei nodded and agreed with Li Yunlong's statement. He had already seen the significance behind Li Yunlong's ability to kill the Japanese 13th Regiment and capture Datong.
As for Kong Jie, he handed the notebook to Li Yunlong and said, "Old Li, we'll talk about moving Taiyuan later. Sign the receipt first, or you'll deny it."
Li Yunlong rolled his eyes at Kong Jie. There was not even the most basic trust between people. Although he had cheated him several times, this time he was absolutely sincere in giving Kong Jie some equipment to help him accumulate some military merits.
“Sign, sign, sign!”
Li Yunlong took the notebook Kong Jie handed over and wrote the word "Linglong" in a flamboyant style. Kong Jie looked confused and said, "You've never seen this before? This is a signature. A signature should be written in a distinctive way that is not easy to imitate, so that no one can forge it!"
After Li Yunlong explained, he saw a warhorse galloping towards him not far away.
The brigade commander flipped over and jumped off his horse. Li Yunlong saw him and immediately rushed over and said, "Brigade commander, brigade commander, slow down!"
"Li Yunlong, congratulations on your fortune!"
The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong with a smile and continued, "I heard you have two thousand war horses?"
"Look, Commander, this is your cavalry regiment!"
"Hahaha!"
The brigade commander laughed when he heard this and pointed at Li Yunlong and said, "Boy, you always manage to surprise me. This is for you!"
"what?"
"You've emptied out Datong this time. Your 12th Detachment is definitely not strong enough. I heard you've even created a new battalion. Headquarters has added some personnel to your independent column. Here's the appointment letter."
Li Yunlong took the appointment letter, glanced at it, and looked at Kong Jie with a strange expression.
……
……
……
Today I'm sending you four chapters with over 11,000 words. Damn it! I'm shouting about taking a break, but every day I still have to write 10,000 words. No, no, I need a break! This is too tiring, my fingers hurt. Finally, I'm begging for a free gift, a five-star review, and a reminder to update! ~
Chapter 221: After three days, I can finally speak loudly...
Li Yunlong could swear on Kong Jie's life that he definitely did not get the news in advance this time. Neither the headquarters nor the division headquarters informed Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong had no intention of tricking Kong Jie. This time he was generous simply because he wanted to give his old comrade some equipment so that he could strengthen the independent regiment and face the Japanese's revenge in the future.
Datong was emptied by Li Yunlong, and it was foreseeable that the Japanese would definitely take crazy revenge later. Li Yunlong really just wanted to give Kong Jie some weapons and equipment to deal with the crisis. He didn't intend to take people, and he sincerely helped Kong Jie.
But what is this now?
The headquarters directly assigned Kong Jie's independent regiment to Li Yunlong's independent column. In other words, Kong Jie was Li Yunlong's subordinate, and the independent regiment belonged to Li Yunlong.
If he had known this would happen, Li Yunlong couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Why did he try to trick Kong Jie in the first place? It would be his sooner or later anyway.
Li Yunlong looked at Kong Jie, thinking about how to start. If he said that he did not get the news in advance, would Kong Jie believe it or not?
"Lao Kong, how about this? I'll give you forty rocket launchers, and you can form a rocket launcher company to specialize in attacking artillery towers and bunkers!"
Li Yunlong looked at the excited Kong Jie and couldn't bear to tell him the truth, so he decided to compensate his old comrade first. Although they were under his command, these weapons and equipment were actually in the independent regiment.
"Really?"
"Really? Then I'll give you three Type 92 infantry guns, and let Zhuzi train you in artillery. You can form an artillery company, and then you can face the main force of the Japanese without any fear. I tell you, if the Japanese lose their advantage in artillery..."
After hearing this, Kong Jie was stunned for a moment, then looked Li Yunlong up and down carefully to make sure that the person in front of him was his old comrade-in-arms and not someone else in disguise. Finally, he looked at the appointment letter in Li Yunlong's hand. Although he didn't see the content, he guessed something.
"Then I'll give you fifty grenade launchers, five hundred rounds of artillery shells, and mortars..."
Kong Jie listened to Li Yunlong constantly giving him good things, sat down on the ground, and smoked his cigarette with his head down.
"Old Kong..."
"Li Yunlong, you... no, I have to call you Commander from now on. Did you know that the Independent Regiment would be assigned to your Independent Column? Are you trying to tease a fool like me?"
Li Yunlong sat down next to Kong Jie, watching the soldiers moving the goods. The brigade commander was also moving in and out to help. He kept smiling and sighed, "Old Kong, I admit that I have cheated you a few times before. This time, I really didn't know. The brigade commander just gave me the appointment letter, and I haven't even read the rest of the letter."
Kong Jie took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I believe you, kid, you wouldn't lie to me about this matter. Otherwise, I, Kong Jie, would quit my position as the regiment commander and wouldn't help you, Li Yunlong."
"then you?"
"I just can't understand why you, Li Yunlong, suddenly came to your senses. You suddenly led the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment to eat and drink delicious food, fight against the Japanese special forces, kill the commander of the Japanese First Army, attack the county town, wipe out the Japanese regiment, and finally take down Datong."
"We are from the same class. You, Li Yunlong, can fight against an entire Japanese division, and you can even win. You can even tear off the head of the Japanese division commander and use it as a chamber pot. But what about me, Kong Jie?"
"During the last winter raid by the Japanese, our independent regiment was held hostage by the Kumamoto Regiment of the Japanese 6th Division. If you hadn't sneaked into Taiyuan and killed Shinozuka Kazuo, the independent regiment might have been sacrificed in Gufengling. You, Li Yunlong, don't owe me, Kong Jie. It's me, Kong Jie, who owes you."
