Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

"Who is fighting the devils?"

"It could also be that the devils are harming people!"

The young people around him asked Mr. Xie nervously. Mr. Xie nodded and continued, "It's the Eighth Route Army fighting the Japanese!"

"The Eighth Route Army? Great, we finally found the Eighth Route Army!"

"Mr. Xie, can you let us take a look through the telescope?"

"..."

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Be quiet, I'll observe the situation!"

Mr. Xie continued to observe the battle situation in the distance as he spoke, and suddenly his expression changed.

"Oh no! The Eighth Route Army has encountered the Japanese tanks!"

"How to do?"

"You stay here, I'll go over. I know how to deal with tanks. The Eighth Route Army may not have fought tanks head-on, so they don't know how powerful the Japanese tanks are!"

"Mr. Xie, we'll go with you!"

"Yes, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to get here. Let's go together!"

"go together!"

Mr. Xie looked at the young man in front of him, sighed and said, "Okay, since you guys are looking for the Eighth Route Army, let's go over and see which unit it is. That way, we can have someone to look after us during our retreat!"

By the time the group was about to approach Wild Dog Ridge, the gunfire had stopped and only sporadic gunshots could be heard. It was obvious that the battle was over. The group of people couldn't help but become anxious. They urgently wanted to know the outcome of the battle, whether the Eighth Route Army won or lost.

"who!"

Just as a few people were climbing towards the back of Wild Dog Ridge, someone suddenly pointed a gun at them.

These are the sentries arranged by Li Yunlong on the flanks and back to prevent sneak attacks by the enemy. At the same time, if the entire army is in a major crisis, these soldiers can withdraw in advance and pass on the news.

"Don't shoot, we're here to find the Eighth Route Army! Everyone, be quiet, these are Eighth Route Army soldiers!"

Mr. Xie spoke first calmly. He also understood the role of these soldiers and comforted the others around him, asking them not to panic.

"Yes, we are here to join the army."

"We are here to look for the Eighth Route Army. Are you from the Eighth Route Army?"

At this time, the secret sentries in the distance also discovered the situation here and quickly surrounded them.

"Looking for the Eighth Route Army? Just go to the recruitment point to join the army. There are recruits everywhere in the village. This is a battlefield!" The young soldier asked with some confusion as he looked at the group of people in front of him.

"We are not from here. We came all the way here..."

"Yes, we are from Sijiucheng. We heard that General Li Yunlong of the Eighth Route Army is very powerful and can kill the devils. We want to follow him and kill the devils together!"

"Correct!"

"Correct!"

"..."

A group of people were talking about their own things. Mr. Xie immediately signaled everyone to be quiet. Then he said to the young soldier, "Brother, which unit are you from?"

"We are from an independent column, are you?"

Mr. Xie's eyes lit up when he heard this: "General Li Yunlong's troops!"

The soldiers of the independent column immediately raised their heads and chests and said, "Yes!"

Mr. Xie immediately said excitedly, "Please ask this young man to tell General Li that I am Xie Yisheng, the former combat staff officer of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army Headquarters, and I would like to meet him."

"Daniu, what happened?"

At this moment, the squad leader in charge of the secret sentry in the back mountain came over and asked.

"Report to the squad leader, this person said he is the combat staff officer of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army Headquarters and wants to see our commander."

After hearing this, the squad leader looked at Xie Yisheng and asked, "Do you have any proof?"

"This is my officer ID."

Staff Officer Xie handed over his ID. The squad leader took a look and asked, "Who are these people?"

"These are my comrades who came with me, and these are students we met on the road. They came from the old city of Beijing specifically to seek to join your army." When Xie Yisheng said this, he felt a little envious. After all, apart from forcibly conscripting young men, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the National Army had hardly encountered people who came from thousands of miles away to join the army.

After hearing this, the squad leader looked carefully at the group of people and nodded, saying, "Wait a moment, I'll go ask the commander."

After hearing this, Staff Officer Xie couldn't help but ask, "Is the battle ahead over?"

"It's over, we're already cleaning up the battlefield!"

After the squad leader finished speaking, he took out Staff Officer Xie's ID and said to Daniu, "Daniu, you keep an eye on it. I'll go report!"

After saying that, he immediately ran towards the top of the mountain.

At this time, in Wild Dog Ridge, Li Yunlong was commanding his troops to clean up the battlefield.

"You prodigal son, can't you see this huge turret? The barrel looks usable. Maybe we can fix it if we take it back and repair it!"

"Put these iron sheets away, they'll be useful when we get back!"

"Come on, move aside, move these scrap metals out of my way. If anyone wants to learn how to drive a tank, I'll teach them!"

Li Yunlong shouted loudly when he saw a captured Japanese tank.

"I come!"

"I come……"

"It's you, you're short! What's your name?"

"Report, Pan Zaiqing!"

Li Yunlong immediately got into the Bean Tank, but considering Li Yunlong's size, the space inside the Bean Tank was very cramped.

Fortunately, the Dodin Tank is very easy to drive, even easier than driving a car. It is just a little troublesome when turning. When you need to turn left, you need to step on the right track brake and the left track accelerator. The same applies to turning right. The rest of the operations are very simple.

"Have you learned it?"

"Learned it!"

"Then immediately select a few soldiers of similar height to yourself and start learning. I'll drive these tanks away in twenty minutes!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, a squad leader ran up to Li Yunlong breathlessly and said, "Report, we've captured over 30 people in the back mountain. One of them claims to be a combat staff officer of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Here's his officer ID. There are also some students who say they're here to join us!"

"Ok?"

Li Yunlong took the officer's certificate and took a look at it, and immediately confirmed that the officer's certificate was real. After all, he had seen the officer's certificates of Chu Yunfei and others before, and could tell the real from the fake at a glance.

"The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's combat staff, what is he doing here? Bring the people over here."

"Yes!"

The squad leader was about to run over to deliver the order, but Li Yunlong looked at the time and realized that he didn't have much time left. He had to attack Ping'an County immediately, so he immediately shouted, "Sun Desheng, Sun Desheng!"

"Commander, I'm here."

Sun Desheng stood up with a feeling of grievance. In this battle, the cavalry battalion did not gain any military merit except going to Ping'an County to lure the Japanese out of the city to attack. Now it has become a means of transportation, carrying machine guns, gun barrels and other things removed from the Japanese tanks on the war horses.

It cannot be said that he had no military merit at all. Ma Renxin led a company and killed dozens of Japanese soldiers, but Sun Desheng's knife only lifted up the Japanese national flag and burned it, without drawing any blood.

"I've got a mission for you!"

Hearing this, Sun Desheng's eyes lit up and he said, "I guarantee that the mission will be completed!"

"Take fifty people, including a squad leader, and go to the back mountain to bring the person over to me. Go quickly!"

"what?"

Sun Desheng was stunned for a moment, and Li Yunlong kicked him directly: "Ah, what? Go!"

"Yes!"

Chapter 121 After the Big Bull

"The coupling is broken. Go look for it on other abandoned tanks and see if you can find a good coupling!"

Li Yunlong checked the broken tank of the Japanese army and confirmed the reason why the tank broke down. He immediately shouted to the soldiers beside him.

"Ah, Captain? What's a coupling?"

After hearing this, Li Yunlong sighed silently. There were still not enough talented people. Although the independent column launched a literacy campaign, it only taught people to recognize words. No one knew things like couplings.

Li Yunlong immediately emerged from under the tank and prepared to go look for it himself. At this moment, Sun Desheng had already returned with his men. One of the young men wearing glasses raised his hand and said, "Sir, I know what a coupling is. I can go and take a look."

"Okay, Xiao Wang, follow him to find a good coupling. Hurry up, and we in the Eighth Route Army don't need to call for the commander!"

"Yes!"

The young man wearing glasses immediately followed one of Li Yunlong's guards towards a pile of scrapped Japanese tanks not far away.

"Report, the person has been brought back!"

Li Yunlong turned his head to look at the group of people in front of him, both men and women. One of them should be Staff Officer Xie of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Most of the others looked more like college students, with a strong bookish air, much like when Zhao first came to the New 1st Regiment, with a childish face. Now Old Zhao...

"Are you Staff Officer Xie? What do you want from me, Li Yunlong?"

After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Staff Officer Xie immediately saluted and said, "General Li, I'm no longer a staff officer. The last time the Japanese launched their winter offensive, I suggested that Commander Yan take the opportunity to attack Taiyuan or recapture a few counties. Commander Yan refused, and after I spoke a few more words, I was demoted to an ordinary soldier."

Li Yunlong did not speak, but continued to listen to what Staff Officer Xie said.

"Later, I heard that General Li had launched a surprise attack on Taiyuan City and captured Shinozuka Kazuo, so I decided to leave the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and join you in fighting the Japanese!"

Li Yunlong laughed when he heard this: "Does the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army know about this?"

"I left a letter."

"You're a deserter, aren't you afraid of being caught and executed?"

Staff Officer Xie nodded and said, "People with different ideals cannot work together. These are my comrades who, like me, do not want to live a mediocre life in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, watching the Japanese invaders wreak havoc while being forced to watch from the sidelines. We have come together to join you."

At this time, the group of students behind him also raised their hands and said, "General Li, we also saw your report in the newspaper and came to join you!"

"Yes, we want to follow you to fight the devils!"
