Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Huang Laixing gave him a couplet: Up and down, sooner or later you will come down; life and death, sooner or later you will die. The horizontal scroll reads: Come down sooner, die later.

In addition, there are countless other ways to make money, such as accepting bribes, reselling, etc., and millions of dollars are an understatement.

Moreover, he is just one of the many senior generals of the National Army, and he is not the greediest one. Even above the greediest one, there are still four major families.

This group of people are sucking blood from the country. No, it can’t be described as sucking blood, they are drawing blood, using a water pump to draw blood!

So when he decided to do business with Commander He, Commander He was the God of Wealth in Li Yunlong's eyes, and the command sword of the First Army Commander in his hand was the dragon-slaying sword he used to kill the God of Wealth.

"Not bad!"

Commander He admired the command knife in his hand and nodded with satisfaction. The sword of the commander of the Japanese First Army was bestowed by the Japanese royal family. It was worthy of his status. Not bad!

"Shall we talk about the price?"

Li Yunlong took out the glasses without lenses from his pocket again and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Chapter 282 Are we deserters? What are they?

The next day at noon, Ping'an County.

"Something happened outside."

Commander He was awakened by a loud noise. He frowned and put on his general's uniform. He glanced at General Kazuo Shinozuka's sword in the room, and his heart was bleeding.

Last night, I spent 800,000 yuan to buy a general's sword? I was impulsive. This sword seems to have no use other than decoration. I can't say that I captured it after killing Shinozuka Kazuo, right?

At this moment, Commander He suddenly had an idea. If he went to return the goods now, would Li Yunlong agree? Or would he send troops to surround the mansion and get the money back?

"Report to the commander, the noise outside seems to be because Li Yunlong's troops are recruiting soldiers, and their political commissar is mobilizing the soldiers brought back from Datong!"

Upon hearing this, Commander He couldn't help but frown. These were soldiers of the National Army. Even if they were captured by the Japanese, they were still soldiers of the National Army.

Moreover, Commander He had always been watching the performance of these soldiers on the battlefield. During the battle of Yu County, many of them showed extraordinary bravery, which made Commander He see the shadow of the German-equipped division back then.

Commander He was certainly unwilling to let go of such an army and wanted to recruit and take it away.

Moreover, when Li Yunlong was selling the credit for Yu County to himself, he also mentioned to himself that he achieved victory by commanding this national army rescued from Datong.

"Hurry up and check it out. We can't let Li Yunlong take the people away!"

Commander He said as he was putting on his clothes that he would never keep such a good army in his hands. He would wait until the critical moment to transfer it out and win a great battle, and all the doubts about him would disappear.

At this time, outside Ping'an County, Zhao Gang was standing on a high platform with a large loudspeaker and speaking, while Li Yunlong was watching the excitement from the side without showing up in person.

As the Japanese's hatred for Li Yunlong grew deeper, Li Yunlong had to start staying in seclusion. It was not because Li Yunlong was getting arrogant because of his high position, but to prevent assassinations by the Japanese.

As a nation with no moral bottom line, the Japanese have always used assassination as one of their main methods of attack, otherwise professions such as ninja and male gunner would not have developed.

There were too many people around and it was impossible to ensure safety, so Li Yunlong simply watched the fun from a safe place nearby. Anyway, Lao Zhao was better at recruiting people, so he was waiting for Commander He to come and give him gold coins.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment and listen to me. First, on behalf of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Independent Column and the Eighth Route Army, I want to thank you. I saw your performance in the battle of Yu County. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to completely wipe out the Japanese Sixth Division in the battle of Yu County."

After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he saluted the group of national army soldiers in front of him.

"But as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. It's time for us to part ways. Coincidentally, there are some National Army officers in Ping'an County. You can follow them back to the National Army."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of many veterans in the crowd lit up. They had wanted to leave for a long time, but when they were in Wutai Mountain, they were unfamiliar with the place and did not leave. When they arrived in Yu County, they did not participate in the battle, but hid behind and waited for the battle to end.

If the Eighth Route Army won, they would rush in and fight a favorable battle. If they lost, they would run away. As for joining the Eighth Route Army, they didn't want to do it because they were poor, tired, and had a lot of strict rules.

However, some people fell into deep thought.

In the crowd, Long Wenjian looked at Zhao Gang standing high up with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Sir, can I stay? I want to be a member of the Eighth Route Army and kill the devils. I don't want to go back to the National Army and suffer defeat!"

At this time, Yu Zhigan in the crowd suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.

Huang Zhiyong, who had changed his clothes, shouted, "Sir, I want to be a member of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Yes, I want to be an Eighth Route Army soldier!"

Zhang Dabiao was also joining in the commotion in the crowd. Although many people recognized that these people were spies arranged by Zhao Gang, his words expressed the thoughts of these soldiers.

Finally, a soldier from the Nationalist army loudly shouted out his request: "Sir, I want to stay and fight the Japanese!"

As soon as this sentence was uttered, many national army soldiers immediately followed suit and shouted.

After seeing this scene, Zhao Gang smiled and said, "We in the Eighth Route Army respect everyone's choice. We won't force anyone to leave, and we warmly welcome anyone who wants to stay. Go to the registration office on the left to register!"

Zhang Dabiao immediately shouted, "Come on, follow me to register!"

In the crowd, Long Wenjian hesitated and looked at the people around him. The people around him also looked at Long Wenjian. These people were the soldiers who fought with Long Wenjian during the battle in Yu County.

"I……"

Long Wenjian wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't speak, and finally took out a pack of confiscated cigarettes.

After lighting the cigarette for himself, he took two deep puffs and waited until the cigarette was finished. As if he had made some kind of decision, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with his feet, and then began to unbutton his National Army uniform.

"I'm sorry everyone, I said I would take you home, but I..."

"I want to kill the devils!"

"I'm sorry, I can't take you home."

Long Wenjian threw his clothes to the ground and walked to the left to join the Eighth Route Army.

Some of the soldiers following Long Wenjian also silently took off their national army uniforms and lined up with Long Wenjian.

Some people thought for a while, sat down on the ground, and chose to return to the National Army.

There were about 10,000 people willing to join the Eighth Route Army, all of whom were Kuomintang soldiers who actively participated in the battle in Yun County.

These soldiers have tasted victory, and no one wants to return to the National Army and continue to suffer defeat.

"No one is allowed to join the Eighth Route Army! No one is allowed to join the Eighth Route Army! Stop right there! Someone, stop them!"

"Li Yunlong, what are you doing!"

At this moment, Commander He ran over angrily. These were veterans who had fought in two major battles, the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain and the Battle of Yu County. They were the elite who survived the battlefield, and the Eighth Route Army must not be allowed to get away with it.

Many soldiers were startled when they saw Commander He wearing the general's uniform. They stopped walking to the left and looked at Commander He nervously.

"Follow me back, or you'll be treated as deserters..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately attracted a group of angry glares. But then Long Wenjian stepped forward and said, "Deserter? General, if we had been deserters, we wouldn't have been captured by the Japanese. We were captured in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain because we didn't run away. Who wouldn't run away?"

"The real deserters are the group that fled to the south bank of the Yellow River. They retreated again and again, from the four northeastern provinces to North China, from North China to Central China, and from Central China..."

"You say we're deserters, that we're about to lose all our land to you. Where can we flee? We're deserters, so what about those who fled from Nanjing to Wuhan, and from Wuhan to Shancheng?"

"you……"

Chief He was speechless after being confronted by Long Wenjian, and pointed at Long Wenjian in frustration.

"..."

Chapter 283: Commander He, how can you talk like that?

At this time, Li Yunlong was eating peanuts and watching the excitement. He noticed that Long Wenjian was a little unusual. He turned around and asked Xing Zhiguo beside him in a low voice: "What's this person's name?"

"I think his name is Long Wenjian. He led the escape in Datong. During the battle of Yu County, he was the first to stand up and help us fight in Yu County. He is a captain in the National Army and has good abilities. He made meritorious contributions in this battle."

"Long Wenjian, this guy is great. He's a great leader!"

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows. Doubing is here, Milong is here, Li Liansheng is here, Krupp is here too, and I didn't expect the regimental commander to be here too. Who else is missing from the cannon fodder regiment? I guess Commander Ayi won't be here. He retreated all the way to the southwest without fighting a single battle. Ma Dazhi? Not spicy?

Just when Li Yunlong was lost in thought, he saw Commander He about to hit someone. He put down the peanuts and glared at Monk Wei who was about to steal the food. It was his turn to take the stage. It was time to make Commander He, the old monk, get rich quick.

He rubbed his face, put away his frivolous smile, put on his glasses, put on a kind smile, stood up and walked over: "Commander He, calm down, calm down, listen to me for a few words, I want to say something fair."

Commander He had been having friendly exchanges with the brigade commander for the past two days and was filled with anger. What if he hit Long Wenjian too hard and Long Wenjian retaliated? Then he would be beaten up by Long Wenjian and return to the mountain city with injuries, which would have a bad impact.

"Li Yunlong, you don't even care about your own people. You're openly poaching people like this. How can this be justified? Are you planning to tear up the agreement you signed earlier?"

Commander He glanced at Li Yunlong and scolded him angrily.

At this time, Li Yunlong was wearing glasses and was scolded by Chief He, but he did not get angry. Instead, he took Chief He's hand and said, "Chief He, calm down. Don't get excited. Listen to me."

As he spoke, he pointed at the motionless Kuomintang soldiers and said, "Captain He, from here to the Yellow River, there are still more than 300 kilometers. If you want to take everyone away, that's fine. I, Li Yunlong, have no objection, but this road is not easy to travel."

After hearing this, Commander He calmed down, but he felt a little embarrassed because he had just been refuted by an ordinary officer of the National Army and a prisoner of war who had been captured by the Japanese. He could not help but snort coldly.

"Captain He, let me do the math for you. Each of these soldiers consumed 100 kilograms of food from Datong to Ping'an County. It will take another ten days to get them south of the Yellow River, which requires another 100 kilograms of food. I'm calculating this food at 20 kilograms for one dollar, so each soldier will need 10 dollars."

"There are also escort fees, management fees, nutrition fees, rescue fees, etc. along the way. I will charge you ten dollars for each soldier, so twenty dollars for each soldier."

Hearing this, Commander He gnashed his teeth and looked at Li Yunlong: "You still want to charge these people, Li Yunlong, are you obsessed with money?"

"Captain He, what you said is not my soldiers. I rescued them and brought them all the way to Ping'an County safely. Now they want to leave, what's wrong with me taking some money?"

"These are friendly forces, friendly forces. Don't you admit that we are..."

Hearing Commander He's words, Li Yunlong couldn't help but laugh. "Friendly troops, of course they are friendly troops. But Commander He, friendly troops don't consume food when they eat? Friendly troops don't have to pay for their meals? All this food was painstakingly accumulated by me, Li Yunlong. You can't deny it, right?"

"If you don't admit it, I'll take my troops to your Nationalist army's place to eat tomorrow! Anyway, your commander He said that friendly troops don't have to pay for meals!"

Hearing this, Commander He stared at Li Yunlong. Knowing him well, he knew that Li Yunlong could really do what he said. Finally, he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, I'll pay for the food. But where will the protection fee and other miscellaneous expenses come from?"

"Commander He, this journey has been filled with countless dangers and hardships. Over 300 kilometers, with Japanese planes circling overhead every day, and Japanese troops pursuing us. Many soldiers in our independent column have sacrificed their lives to protect them. Is it reasonable to ask for some protection money?"

Commander He now understood that when Li Yunlong didn't wear glasses, he was indifferent to him. When he wore glasses, he was no longer a soldier, but a businessman, and a complete profiteer at that, whose mind was full of calculations and money.

"Li Yunlong, if that's how you think, then I'll have to say goodbye to you. These Nationalist soldiers fought for you in the Battle of Yu County. You want to pay them, right?"

Commander He spent a lot of money in the past two days on buying news and samurai swords. These were all the money he had embezzled bit by bit. He himself was reluctant to spend it, but now that Li Yunlong had taken a lot of it, he was already feeling a little regretful.

Now he had to buy people and food, and he immediately became so angry that he was ready to have a good talk and settle the accounts with Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Commander He with his mouth and eyes wide open. "Commander He, how can you say that? Didn't these National Army soldiers help you fight the Yu County Campaign? How could they be helping me? Commander He, I, Li Yunlong, am not a person who seeks credit. I don't want any of your credit, Commander He."

As soon as these words came out, it was a direct KO.

Commander He was completely speechless. He moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth. It was obvious that he couldn't refute Li Yunlong's words.
