Bright Sword: From Border Region Manufacturing to Major National Heavy Industry

Chapter 54 A Flying Kick

"brigadier!"

"brigadier!"

"brigadier!"

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Blind Cheng all saluted in unison as the brigade commander walked out.

"Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, where's Bai Tang?" The brigade commander went straight to the point.

Ding Wei immediately sent someone to bring the white sugar to the brigade commander, who then personally counted it.

“Three thousand catties, not a catty less.” The brigade commander finally showed a satisfied smile. “Ding Wei, Li Yunlong, you two have completed your mission very well. You can go back and rest now.”

Li Yunlong said, "Brigade Commander, can I go with you to the arsenal to deliver sugar? I'm not sleepy at all right now."

Ding Wei chimed in, "Brigade Commander, I want to go too."

"Go where?" The brigade commander's expression turned stern. "I'm sending this sugar to the arsenal. Don't you two trust me? You've been fighting for two days straight, and the troops are exhausted. Go back and rest now. Soon, you'll have new work to do."

The Ninth and Fourth Brigades have already prepared encirclement and suppression forces, which are like a sword hanging over the head of our 386th Brigade.

The brigade commander won't sleep soundly at night until this sharp sword is broken.

Once the combat troops have rested, we'll set up an ambush, and then use that idiot to pass on information about heavy artillery to the Japanese. At that point, we'll have a big battle.

"Brigade Commander, what new tasks are there?" Li Yunlong couldn't stay idle for a moment when he heard there were new tasks.

"Why ask so many questions? Now take your troops back to your unit and get out of here immediately!" The brigade commander said sternly.

Li Yunlong still didn't leave. He said to the brigade commander, "Brigade commander, I still have something to report to you."

"What's wrong?" the brigade commander glared. "You haven't caused me any more trouble this time during the attack on Heyuan County, have you?"

"Brigade Commander, look at what you're saying. How could I dare to cause you any trouble?" Li Yunlong said with a grin. "When Ding Wei ordered the looting of the Dayue Warehouse, I took my men and strolled around Hirata Ichiro's military police headquarters."

Then, Li Yunlong had the rescued comrades brought before the brigade commander.

"Li Yunlong, you son of a bitch..." Before the brigade commander could finish his curse, he looked at his comrades and his eyes widened in surprise.

The brigade commander saw familiar faces inside: "Little Zhang, Lao Yu, Lao Jia..."

These people clearly recognized the brigade commander, and their expressions immediately changed, leaving them speechless: "Brigade Commander Chen..."

"You've suffered." The brigade commander looked at these people. "You are all good comrades who fought to the death against the Japanese military police. I thank you on behalf of the organization."

"Give them clean clothes, some good food, and get the wounded treated as soon as possible," the brigade commander instructed the deputy brigade commander. "When I go to the logistics department, take them to the rear hospital for treatment as well."

"Yes." The deputy brigade commander nodded and immediately arranged for people to take all the comrades away.

The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong again, his expression less serious: "Li Yunlong, you did the right thing."

"Haha." Li Yunlong laughed heartily after receiving the praise. "Brigade Commander, I knew it! I always listen to you the most and never cause you any trouble."

"Stop trying to be nice to me. Don't go to the arsenal. Go back and rest." The brigade commander knew exactly what Li Yunlong was thinking; he still wanted to go to the arsenal with him.

"Alright, Brigade Commander, then I'll go back and rest." Seeing that the Brigade Commander still disagreed, Li Yunlong gave up.

"Brigade Commander, these safes couldn't be opened, so I had them brought back. They must contain important documents from the Japanese military police." Before leaving, Li Yunlong had several more safes brought to the brigade commander.

"Hmm." The brigade commander nodded approvingly.

"Brigade Commander, I'm off then." Li Yunlong took a step to leave.

"Keep the stuff here," the brigade commander said casually to Li Yunlong. "Your tricks, Li Yunlong, can't possibly fool me."

First, they brought the rescued comrades to their front, and then they brought out a safe. These were both normal work reports and cover-ups.

What are we covering up?

In the Dayue warehouse, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei did more than just steal white sugar.

The brigade commander saw it all; there were also a lot of clothing, ammunition, and supplies.

"Brigade Commander, leave me..." Li Yunlong didn't finish his sentence.

The brigade commander interrupted, "Leave the stuff here. I'll take stock of it first. Once you've recovered, you'll definitely be treated well."

"Sigh, alright." Li Yunlong shook his head. There was nothing he could do; once the brigade commander had handled it, it was destined to shrink in quality again.

"Old Ding, we're leaving." Li Yunlong called to Ding Wei.

"Goodbye, brigade commander!" Ding Wei saluted the brigade commander, handed him the data recorded from the last shell, and asked the brigade commander to pass it on to the arsenal.

"Li Yunlong, you should learn from Ding Wei from now on. Look at Ding Wei, his attitude was so good when he handed over his goods. And look at you, what kind of behavior is this?" The brigade commander said, taking the notebook from Li Yunlong as he lectured him.

Of course, although the words were meant to educate Li Yunlong, he wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, he was happy.

After all, Li Yunlong did a really good job with this job.

They managed to retrieve the sugar, and in the process, they also seized a batch of clothing and ammunition, rescued dozens of comrades imprisoned in the military police headquarters, and even brought back several safes.

There's bound to be a surprise if you open these safes.

Perhaps we can uncover the list of Japanese spies infiltrating our side.

Or perhaps, it's another important intelligence document from the Japanese.

"Yes, Brigade Commander." Li Yunlong saluted the brigade commander and, together with Ding Wei, led the troops back to their respective homes.

As soon as Li Yunlong and Ding Wei left, Cheng the Blind, who had been silent the whole time, took advantage of the brigade commander's good mood and quickly approached him, grinning as he said, "Brigade commander, if I hadn't provided timely support to Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, they would have been cornered by the Japanese. I deserve a lot of credit, don't I? Aren't you going to reward me with something?"

"What do you want?" the brigade commander asked.

"That cannon you're holding..." Before Blind Cheng could finish speaking.

The brigade commander was furious and kicked out, yelling, "Get out of my brigade headquarters right now, get out!"

The brigade commander thought that this blind man wanted to ask for some ammunition and food, but he didn't expect that he would dare to make a move on the cannon in his hands!
Even Li Yunlong didn't dare to fight, so where did you, Blind Cheng, get the guts?

Blind Cheng looked embarrassed and awkward: "Brigadier, you're not participating in the battle either, so your hell cannon can't just sit there collecting dust..."

"roll!!!"

The brigade commander roared like a lioness from the east of the river, and Blind Cheng disappeared in a panic: "Brigade commander, to be honest, why are you so angry? Sigh, if we didn't have the hell cannon in your hands, wouldn't Li Yunlong laugh us to death?"

"That blind man Cheng, I've really spoiled you. You dare to covet my Hell Cannon. Looks like I'll have to put some pressure on you from now on. You ask me for everything. Why don't you learn from Li Yunlong and go and rob him if you dare?" The brigade commander cursed as he watched Cheng's retreating figure.

"Load the sugar onto the truck; I need to take it to the arsenal. As for the other supplies, compile a list and put them into storage as soon as possible." The brigade commander suppressed his emotions and directed his men to get to work.

"Yes."
