Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 147: Damn Li Yunlong, stop bragging in front of me! 3-word chapter!

Six days later, the brigade commander led the guard regiment to Zhaojiayu. After Li Yunlong heard the news, he immediately went forward to greet him. When he saw the Type 38 rifles in Li Yunlong's hands, the brigade commander couldn't help but sighed: "Li Yunlong, it seems that you have made a lot of money this time. All the soldiers have replaced their weapons with Type 38 rifles. You are so fucking rich now. I, the brigade commander, may not have a good life like you!"

Li Yunlong knew that his brigade commander loved to take advantage of others, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Brigade commander, our independent regiment suffered heavy casualties this time. The Japanese devils used poison gas bombs on the base area, causing heavy casualties among the military and civilians. Hundreds of people are still in the hospital. These damned Japanese devils are so inhumane that they even directly violated the convention. They are worse than animals!"

After hearing that the Japanese independent regiment used poison gas bombs, the brigade commander's face became very gloomy. He gave Li Yunlong a direct order: "Li Yunlong, no matter how much it costs, you must treat the injured soldiers and civilians. If there are not enough medicines, I, the brigade commander, will find a way for you! Take me to see the injured soldiers and civilians first, and we will talk about business after I come back!"

Li Yunlong took the brigade commander around the hospital, comforted the wounded, and had lunch with them before returning to the independent regiment headquarters. At this time, Zhao Gang and others had returned from outside. After seeing the brigade commander, they were all very excited. After exchanging a few words of greeting, the brigade commander explained the purpose of his visit this time.

"Li Yunlong, after receiving the news that your independent regiment was besieged, I immediately ordered the New Second Regiment and the New First Regiment to support you. However, I didn't expect that the two regiments of Ding Wei and Kong Jie were blocked by the Japanese. They didn't move forward for eight days and suffered heavy casualties."

"I had no choice but to let them retreat temporarily. I personally led the guard regiment to support you. I didn't expect that the battle was over when I arrived. You actually defeated the Yoshino Regiment in one fell swoop and almost captured their regiment commander. I am really curious. When did your independent regiment become so powerful that it could actually confront a fully equipped regiment of the Japanese. There must be a hidden story that I don't know about. Take this opportunity to tell me about it so that I can also broaden my horizons!"

Li Yunlong's face was flushed with praise from the brigade commander, and he boasted: "Brigade commander, I said before that the independent regiment is the main force of our brigade, but Cheng Xiazi was not convinced. However, the record of our independent regiment this time is beyond compare in our brigade, not to mention in our division!"

"I'm not bragging to you, Brigade Commander. It's just that the soldiers of our independent regiment are very arrogant, like little tigers. It's no problem for one of them to fight two or three Japanese devils alone!"

"This time, we defeated the Yoshino Corps head-on. If that old man Yoshino Masao hadn't run fast, I would have had to duel with him and let him see the power of my Oni-do Sword!"

Zhao Gang felt too embarrassed to listen to Li Yunlong's ridiculous boasting. He coughed and reminded Li Yunlong that the brigade commander's face had turned black. If he continued to brag, he would be scolded.

Li Yunlong was also very perceptive and said in a serious tone: "To be honest, in this battle, we relied entirely on our own strength and did not take any shortcuts. We have previously seized two tanks and six armored vehicles from the Japanese. Our experts have modified eight armored vehicles. The protection capability is very strong. Even the Japanese 60mm grenades can be resisted, not to mention that the Japanese machine guns and grenade launchers can't penetrate the armored defense at all!"

"We ambushed in an open area in advance, and when the Japanese were halfway through their march, we suddenly launched an attack. This time, we mobilized most of our independent regiment's firepower, consumed a large number of bullets and shells, and beat the Japanese until they cried and screamed. Who would have thought that the damn Japanese were so evil that not a single one surrendered. Except for the hundred or so people who escaped, all of them were wiped out by our independent regiment!"

"Because we bombed too hard at the beginning, all the shells brought by the Japanese were destroyed. In the end, we only seized some artillery pieces, not a single shell. This is a flaw in the ointment!"

When Li Yunlong finished speaking, the brigade commander's expression turned from gloomy to bright, and he laughed and scolded: "Li Yunlong, you son of a bitch, are you afraid that I will ask you for equipment? You are just that capable, you don't even have a sense of the overall situation!"

"This time, your independent regiment fought very well. I have already asked the headquarters for credit for you. I guess the commendation will come soon! You need to hurry up and repair your radio. It was very difficult to contact you. This delayed a lot of things. If I hadn't received the information sent by the headquarters, I really wouldn't know that you were surrounded by the devils!"

When this matter was mentioned, Li Yunlong complained: "Brigade Commander, it's not that we don't want to contact the brigade headquarters, it's just that the two radios are all broken and can't even be repaired. The communicator I sent out hasn't come back yet, and he might have been killed by the Japanese!"

The brigade commander interrupted Li Yunlong's next words and said helplessly: "Li Yunlong, don't think about taking the brigade's radio. I only have two radios, one of which is broken. If I give you the good one, the brigade will become deaf and blind. You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for whipping you!"

The brigade commander then said, "According to the intelligence we got from the headquarters, the Japanese have already set their sights on the Independent Regiment. This incident is just the beginning. There will be more actions against the Independent Regiment in the future, especially the Yamamoto Special Forces. They simply regard your Independent Regiment as a thorn in their side and are thinking about revenge all the time. You must be careful!"

"Student Lin, I came here this time to ask you, did you really capture the Japanese Zero fighter?"

The brigade commander's question made Lin Zhenhua a little confused. He didn't know how to answer at all. Now there were a lot of people watching this matter. Once today's words got out, the rumors that had been suppressed with great difficulty would probably spread again. The independent regiment might not even have time to develop stably. In order not to disclose the secret of the Zero fighter, it would not be a rare thing for the Japanese to send a division to attack the independent regiment. The importance of the Zero fighter to the Japanese was beyond the imagination of everyone present.

Lin Zhenhua shook his head like a rattle and said firmly: "Captain, don't listen to what people outside say. Those are just rumors. We don't know who spread them. Isn't this putting the independent regiment on the spot? If we really captured a Zero fighter from the devil, we would have reported it to the brigade headquarters long ago. When it was published in the newspaper, it could also boost the confidence of the army and civilians across the country in the war of resistance. If there is such a good thing, even if Captain Li is unwilling, I will drag him to do it!"

"Brigade Commander, you must clarify this matter with the headquarters when you return. Our independent regiment did not falsely report its military achievements. I suspect this is a conspiracy by the Japanese devils. The Japanese devils are definitely up to no good!"

After listening to Lin Zhenhua's explanation, the brigade commander felt that it made a lot of sense. Trying to seize a fighter jet flying in the sky is like trying to catch the moon in the water, which is extremely difficult.

"Student Lin, I originally planned to stay in the independent regiment, but after seeing your current situation, there is no need to stay here. In this case, I will leave two battalions for you to help you strengthen your defense force. This can be regarded as the support of the brigade for you!"

"Li Yunlong, you must support Lin's work and build the independent regiment's arsenal. Relying solely on weapons and ammunition seized from the devils is not a long-term solution. We must build our own military industry. Only in this way can we avoid being controlled by others and drive the devils out as soon as possible!"

"These days, the Japanese have been acting strangely, desperately hoarding all kinds of supplies. The headquarters believes that the Japanese are preparing for a war. As for where this war will take place, they have speculated on several places, but in the end they still haven't determined which place it will be. Your independent regiment must seize the next few days to prepare for war in order to cope with the changes in the situation!"

Li Yunlong immediately assured: "Brigade Commander, our independent regiment has begun to expand its forces again, and the arsenal is also under intensive construction. It will take one and a half months to complete the construction of all the addresses and factory buildings of the arsenal, ensuring that the arsenal can be officially put into production before May this year!"

"Commander, I plan to hand over 200 rifles and rounds of ammunition this time. As for artillery shells, our independent regiment doesn't have many left. At most, we can only support rounds of various artillery shells. This is the limit of what our independent regiment can hand in. Please be merciful and help us!"

The brigade commander didn't expect Li Yunlong to be so proactive. He pointed at Li Yunlong's nose and cursed: "Li Yunlong, you really think I'm here to ask you for equipment. This time I don't want any weapons and ammunition. I'll leave them all to your independent regiment to expand its strength. Next time when I come, if your independent regiment's combat effectiveness doesn't meet my requirements, I'll remove you as the regiment commander and let you carry the big pot in the kitchen!"

When Li Yunlong heard about this good thing, he immediately took advantage of the situation and said with a flattering smile: "Brigade Commander, what kind of person am I, Li Yunlong? Just give me three months, and I guarantee that the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment will increase rapidly. By then, even if a brigade of the Japanese invaders comes, I will not be inferior to them!"

The brigade commander slammed the table with his whip and scolded with a smile: "Li Yunlong, stop bragging in front of me. How can I not know how capable you are? If classmate Lin hadn't given you an armored battalion, it would not be easy for your independent regiment to hold on to the base. It's not that I look down on you, but you may not be able to hold on. Don't be so hasty to refute me. Think about it carefully. Don't be so arrogant just because you have won a few battles and don't even know who you are!"
