Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

If Kuroda Shigenori was not punished, then he himself would be punished. After all, this matter was related to him. In order to avoid being implicated, Kuroda Shigenori had to commit seppuku and take all the blame.

Late at night, in the detention room of the Military Police, Kuroda Shigenori finished writing a letter, his eyes filled with madness: "Even if you let me die, I won't let you have an easy life, Amakasu Shigetaro, Takahashi Shigeki, and Asakamiya Hisahiko!"

After saying this, Kuroda Shigenori picked up a samurai sword beside him. His Royal Highness's telegram made it very clear that he had to take the blame. He knew that this was his last dignity. As for how to deal with Shigetaro Amakasu, Shigeki Takahashi and Prince Asaka Hisahiko, that was the business of the Kwantung Army Headquarters. He had already explained everything clearly in the letter.

Kuroda Shigenori slowly drew out his katana with trembling hands, exposing his abdomen...

"what!"

"Someone, kill me..."

"pain……"

Without an executioner, Kuroda Shigenori wailed for more than ten minutes before he died.

Chapter 228 Kotaro Kotaro, do you want to be the captain of the wing?

"This house hasn't been blown down by the Japanese yet?"

In Ping'an County, Li Yunlong looked at the still standing small wooden house in front of him with some surprise, and said in amazement.

This cabin is where Toshiaki Mukai and Takeshi Noda became one.

Li Yunlong already thought it was amazing that the house had survived the Japanese bombing, but he never expected that it could stand until now.

There are ruins all around, but the house in front of you is intact.

Then Li Yunlong patted Gu Shoushuiye beside him and said, "It seems that God hopes that the three of you can completely integrate into one. Don't let God down. There may be some meat on the bones that can satisfy you!"

At this time, Gu Shoushuiye was already dying. Li Yunlong had not given him food since he caught him, nor had he let him rest. He thoughtfully prepared some services for him so that he could enjoy the rest of his life.

At this time, after hearing what Li Yunlong said, Gu Shoushuiye immediately muttered to himself: "Kill me, kill me..."

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I will let you experience the most cruel way to die in this world!"

Li Yunlong patted Gu Shoushuiye's face and said with a smile, if Li Yunlong thought before that lingchi was the best way to punish the Japanese, but now Li Yunlong thought that starving the Japanese to death was the best way to torture them.

Starving to death is the most tragic way to die in the world, no doubt about it. However, because of the Japanese devils, a large number of people in the country are now starving, and people die of starvation every day, so Li Yunlong wants to let these Japanese devils experience the feeling of being starved to death.

"There's still some food in there. I hope you don't waste it and eat more!"

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he signaled his men to open the door. A foul odor could not be stopped even when they stood at the door. After Yu Zhigan threw Gu Shoushuiye into the room, he immediately locked the door. Then someone in the ruins in the distance would keep an eye on the house to prevent the Japanese from escaping.

At this time, Tani Shoushuiye in the house endured the stench and looked into the room. Through the gap in the sealed glass, Tani Shoushuiye saw two corpses in the house, and the stench came from these corpses.

The nearest corpse was right next to him, at the door, and deep scratches could be seen on the wooden door in front of the corpse.

When Tani Shou Mizuno entered the room, he felt like he was being stared at by something. In the corner, a group of mice were looking at Tani Shou Mizuno, observing their future food.

After sending Tani Hisamizuno into the room, Li Yunlong went to see Kodera Kouta. Compared with Tani Hisamizuno, Kodera Kouta was treated well. He had food and drinks, which he bought with his own money. As for the other two penniless Japanese devils, they could only rely on Kodera Kouta for support.

"General Li, has the commander promised to send the money?"

Seeing Li Yunlong coming, Kota Kotera immediately asked.

"You will be free tomorrow, but don't forget your current identity."

Hearing this, Kotaro Kodera lowered his head. In order to survive, he surrendered to Li Yunlong and gave out a lot of key information about the Japanese, such as some information in Shaanxi Province. If the Japanese knew about it, Kotaro Kodera would surely die.

"Okay, it's not a bad idea to follow me. From now on, the business of our independent column and the Fourth Division will be left to you!"

Kota Kotera's eyes, which had been looking dejected, immediately lit up: "Really?"

"Of course, I'm a general, how can I cheat you? But for every transaction, you have to tell me the reserve price. After the transaction is completed, I will give you 5% of the transaction amount. What do you think?"

Hearing these words, Kota Kotera's originally excited eyes calmed down again, only 5%, not much.

But Li Yunlong's next words made Kotaro Kota change his expression immediately: "I seized more than 400 kilograms of gold in Datong!"

"How many?"

When Kotaro Kotaro heard this number, he was stunned. He only earned more than 30,000 oceans by reselling supplies, military supplies, smuggling, and military pay. Or was it because he was only a major that Li Yunlong directly seized hundreds of kilograms of gold in Datong?

"It's the private money of the 26th Division's Kuroda Shigenori, over 470 kilograms!"

Upon hearing this, Kotaro Kota was immediately filled with righteous indignation and said, "Baga, this bastard, as a division commander, actually has so much money. No wonder Datong couldn't be defended. He is simply a disgrace to the empire!"

Li Yunlong stroked his chin and looked at Kotaro Kotera, who had sold out information to the Japanese in exchange for his own life, and scolded Shigenori Kuroda. He couldn't help but feel that there was some black humor.

"Baga, the empire will be destroyed by these bastards, these parasites!"

After Kotaro Kotaro calmed down, he began to think about how much profit he could make. If all 400 kilograms of gold were used to buy weapons and ammunition from him, he could get a profit of 5%, which is more than 20 kilograms of gold.

This amount of money was already more than the ransom he had paid to Li Yunlong. He immediately nodded and said, "General Li, I hope you will give me more guidance in the future."

"Don't be too excited. Besides that, I will support your progress and help you rise higher in the Japanese army. Your current position is too low, and you can't make direct decisions on many transactions!"

"General Li, what do you mean?"

"I can provide you with some intelligence and even financial support to make you a wing commander!"

As soon as these words came out, Kota Kota's eyes lit up immediately, and he whispered: "General Li, the position of deputy commander of our 4th Division can be purchased. It only costs 50,000 yuan."

"Legal currency?"

"General Li is joking. It's Japanese Yen."

“This price is not cheap.”

After listening to the price, Li Yunlong roughly converted it. Fifty thousand yen is equivalent to about one hundred and fifty thousand oceans.

"Hai, so generally speaking, it's the sons of some of our big merchants in Osaka who come here to gild themselves, and then find a way to transfer back to China."

Looking at Kotaro Kotaro's expectant eyes, Li Yunlong thought for a while and felt that it was indeed a good deal to offer him 150,000 yuan to be the deputy commander of the regiment, provided that this guy could continue to work for him.

"Well, I need some rubber, some gas masks, and..."

Li Yunlong stated his current needs. Kodera Kouta was taking notes very seriously. After Li Yunlong finished speaking, Kodera Kouta asked, "Excuse me, General Li, how much do you need?"

"Purchase as much as you can. Oh, and I also want a detailed deployment map of Taiyuan Airport."

"Ha Yi, this is no problem. Our Fourth Division has the deployment map of the Fortress of Sijiu. The commander of the regiment asked for 10,000 yuan per copy, but I don't know the exact reserve price."

"It's only ten thousand dollars, as long as you can buy the defense map. How much you can earn depends on your own ability!"

"Ha Yi, thank you, General Li. Please rest assured, General Li, I will do my best. No, I will definitely buy the Taiyuan Airport defense map!"

Chapter 229 Jia Xiaohou: Li Yunlong, give my son back to me

After making arrangements with Kotaro Kotera and Mizuno Tani, Li Yunlong tidied up his clothes and prepared to meet an important person.

To be precise, it was a person who came to look for his son.

"Hello, Mr. Jia. Let me introduce myself. I am Li Yunlong, commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Independent Column."

The fifty-three-year-old man in front of him was in good spirits. When he saw Li Yunlong, he just snorted coldly and said, "Commander Li, I know your name. You are the one who fights the Japanese. This time, I have only one purpose. I hope Commander Li can return my son to me."

The person in front of him was Jia Xiaohou, the then head of the Xi'an anti-poison team and one of the best weapons and blasting experts in the country.

In 1912, when he was years old, Jia Xiaohou went abroad to study metallurgy and weapons design. After returning to China, he opened a smokeless gunpowder factory and researched various types of artillery shells. Later, he served as the director of many local arsenals.

Not much is known about this person in later generations. Even some of the information on Baidu Encyclopedia is compiled based on limited content and is full of loopholes. However, before Li Yunlong traveled through time, he learned about such a person when chatting with an old professor.

Although he was not as magical as described in later encyclopedias, he was indeed a powerful figure, especially in the field of explosives.

"Mr. Jia, I don't understand what you mean. Jia Ji came to our Eighth Route Army voluntarily. I didn't detain him. I can take you to see him, but whether he is willing to leave is not up to me!"

After hearing this, Jia Xiaohou immediately said, "Okay, take me there!"

"no problem!"

When Li Yunlong heard that Jia Xiaohou was going to meet Jia Ji, he immediately showed a fox-like smile.

Where is the Heiyunshan Arsenal?

It is a place that is kept absolutely confidential by the Eighth Route Army. Of course, there is no problem for Mr. Jia Xiaohou to go there to see his son, but when he can leave is not something he can decide. After all, such an important place cannot be left easily and requires procedures. As for when the procedures will be completed, it depends on Li Yunlong's mood.

"Please wait a moment. I have some people I need to arrange to go with me. We'll go together then!"

Jia Xiaohou nodded, said nothing more, and ignored Li Yunlong. He took out a German book and started reading.

During the time when Li Yunlong left Ping'an County, there were roughly two thousand people from all over the country who came to join Li Yunlong. Some of them had been taken away by people sent from the headquarters, and some student brigade leaders stayed behind to let Li Yunlong make arrangements.

Many of them were classmates called by Jia Ji, and many of them were studying weapons manufacturing. These people were talents that Li Yunlong urgently needed.

"Hello, Commander Li, my name is Zhang Daquan, and I'm Jia Ji's classmate. I major in metallurgy."

A young man in his twenties wearing thick glasses immediately introduced himself after seeing Li Yunlong.

"Hello, Commander Li. My name is Shi Xiaomao. I studied weapons design for a few years. My father once wanted me to study at Krupp in Germany, but I didn't go because of the war."

A fat man with dark skin touched his head and said naively.

"Who is your father?"

"Shi Gongjiu."

After hearing this name, Li Yunlong thought about it and roughly understood why Krupp did not go to study in Cheng Krupp. His father passed away last year. Studying abroad these days requires a lot of financial support. Krupp's family must have fallen on hard times.

"Hello, Commander Li, my name is..."

There were nine people in total, all of whom were Jia Ji's classmates. Basically, everyone who had studied abroad with Jia Ji was fooled by Jia Ji.

In addition, there are several students who were Zhao Gang’s classmates at Yenching University, and the rest are students who came to him on their own.

However, most of them were liberal arts students, and Li Yunlong planned to arrange the liberal arts students to be teachers. It happened that the scale of Li Yunlong's Jin-Cha-Ji Independent Column began to grow, and there were more and more family members and children, so it was necessary to build some schools for these children to go to school.

It was just a makeshift team before, but as Li Yunlong's foundation is becoming more and more stable, Li Yunlong is preparing to establish some supporting units.

In addition to being a place for children to study, the school is also a place for training cadres. The army is expanding rapidly, and the cadres' thoughts must keep up. If there are problems with internal ideology, Li Yunlong will not hesitate to start the rectification. There must be no problems in ideology.

In addition to these liberal arts students, Zhao Gang's classmate Li Yunlong plans to arrange work personally after Old Zhao returns.

Finally, Li Yunlong took Jia Xiaohou and others and rushed to Heiyun Mountain. Because the entire Ping'an County and several surrounding counties were almost under the control of our army, Li Yunlong did not need to take a detour to avoid the blockade of the Japanese and puppet troops, and drove the truck directly to Heiyun Mountain.

"This is the Black Cloud Mountain Arsenal, one of the two major arsenals of our Eighth Route Army. However, compared to the other arsenal, the equipment here is more complete. At the same time, the rocket launcher, our magic weapon for attacking the enemy's artillery towers, is also produced here!"

After everyone came up the mountain from the back, Li Yunlong enthusiastically took the group on a tour and began to introduce the arsenal to everyone, especially Jia Xiaohou, who Li Yunlong kept his eyes on.

Jia Xiaohou still didn't know his current situation. After entering the arsenal, he looked around the environment without much change in expression. After all, he had been the director of the Xi'an Arsenal, which was much larger than this one. In his eyes, the Heiyunshan Arsenal was no different from a small workshop.

However, Jia Xiaohou soon put aside his contempt, because in the Heiyunshan Arsenal, he saw many advanced machine tools. These were moved back by Li Yunlong from Datong, and some of them had been transported back to the arsenal and assembled.

"Father, why are you here?"
