Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

Eighth Route Army Headquarters

The deputy commander threw his belt on the table, looked at Li Yunlong who looked unhappy, and said angrily: "Isn't your New 1st Regiment known as the Tiger Army and Tiger Generals? I think you are just the Rat Army and Rat Generals."

Li Yunlong also said seriously: "Old leader, I know I was wrong."

The deputy commander-in-chief said with a look of disappointment: "The officer division of the International Youth Column only dispatched two regiments, with less than 20 troops. How could they stop that wave of Japanese invaders? Everyone says that you, Li Yunlong, have made a fortune. The New First Regiment has more than troops, but it stopped the Japanese invaders for less than hours."

Li Yunlong thought of the wave of devils he encountered yesterday, and said with red eyes: "Boss, you can say that I am a softie, but you can't say that about the brothers who sacrificed in our New 1st Regiment. Many of my brothers died on the road of charge, and none of them retreated."

Looking at Li Yunlong like this, the deputy commander pointed at him and said with a look of disappointment: "It is said that you, Li Yunlong, have many clever ideas in fighting. Why is it that when you met this wave of devils, your brain is not able to turn around?"

Li Yunlong said with a wronged look on his face: "Boss, it's not that I can't think straight, it's that the Japanese invaders found our New 1st Regiment's garrison at some point, and by the time our soldiers reacted, they were already surrounded by the Japanese invaders."

Upon hearing this, the deputy commander looked up at Li Yunlong. Seeing that he was speaking sincerely, he asked in confusion, "Are you saying that this wave of Japanese invaders infiltrated secretly? Your base is in the Taihang Mountains. Could it be that the Japanese invaders from Shanxi and Jibei have joined forces?"

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong also had a look of grief and indignation on his face. The wave of Japs they encountered last night was completely different from the previous ones. All the heavy artillery had been pulled into the mountains. Although the New 1st Regiment was very strong now, due to the friction between our army and the stubborn army, it was directly transferred by the headquarters to the Taihang Mountains to guard the command agency.

Unexpectedly, before they received any news, they were surrounded by a large group of Japanese troops, making it impossible for the various units of the New 1st Regiment to coordinate with each other. If the officers' division of the International Youth Column had not happened to pass by, the losses of the New 1st Regiment would have been even greater.

The deputy commander looked at the large map hanging on the wall, the direction from which the devils appeared, and the aggrieved Li Yunlong, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you are being used as a shield by the International Youth Column. This group of devils sneaked from the mountains in northern Hebei to the north of Yangquan, and unexpectedly ran into the New 1st Regiment stationed there. I think they mistook you for the International Youth Column."

Li Yunlong listened to the boss's analysis, clapped his hands, and said with some sudden enlightenment: "I was wondering why this wave of Japanese devils was so difficult to deal with? It turned out that they were the elite Japanese devils coming from the Northeast. Damn it, Zhang Dabiao's battalion had 3000 people, how could they not withstand the fierce attack of a Japanese battalion."

The deputy commander looked at Li Yunlong and knew that the boy had come to his senses. He said with a smile, "You have got a great bargain this time. The International Youth Column just reported that they have ordered the First Division and the Fifth Division stationed in Shimen to dispatch a brigade each to encircle and suppress this group of devils. Even the ace mountain division of the other corps has been dispatched to fight an annihilation war. You must hand over two-thirds of the weapons left behind by these devils, and keep the rest to make up for your losses."

After listening to the deputy commander's arrangement, Li Yunlong's face suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he quickly said with a smile: "Then thank you, Boss, I thank you on behalf of our brothers in the New First Regiment."

Seeing Li Yunlong like this, the deputy commander waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop acting. We are giving you so many weapons this time. First, we want to make up for the losses of your regiment. Second, Shaanxi has ordered your regiment to prepare to go to the Northeast to support the Anti-Japanese United Army. When the backbone division of the International Youth Column is ready, you can go north together."

At this point, the deputy commander-in-chief said seriously: "This time, we are giving you such a large amount of equipment, not to let you lead the group. Going to the Northeast with you are Kong Jie's independent regiment and Ding Wei's Jizhong 28th Regiment. The three of you old comrades will work together to form a main force division. Go back and prepare well this time, don't embarrass our Eighth Route Army in the Northeast."

Li Yunlong straightened his clothes, then saluted and said, "Yes! I promise to complete the mission!"

Looking at Li Yunlong, who was laughing as if he had eaten bee shit, the deputy commander-in-chief said, "The new division will be named the Taiyue Military Region Rapid Reaction Detachment. You will be the acting detachment commander, Kong Jie will be your deputy, and Ding Wei will be your chief of staff."

As soon as the deputy commander finished speaking, Ding Wei rushed over and shouted loudly: "Boss, student Ding Wei is here to report!"

Ding Wei's body was still covered with frost, but his eyes were firm and sharp. The deputy commander looked at this heroic old subordinate in front of him, smiled with satisfaction, and asked: "Are you confused about the fact that I stopped you?"

Ding Wei straightened up and answered without hesitation: "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders! No matter what the reason is, I will resolutely carry out the instructions of my superiors!"

The deputy commander nodded with satisfaction, and then said earnestly: "The situation is extremely critical this time. You are the only one who can be transferred from the front-line commanders to form a team with Li Yunlong. Although it has delayed your plan to study in northern Shaanxi, this is the only way. You can serve as Li Yunlong's chief of staff for a while."

Hearing this arrangement, Ding Wei couldn't help but feel doubtful, but he quickly came to his senses and asked hesitantly: "Boss, I..." He seemed to have something to say, but didn't know how to express it.

"Are you wondering why I asked you to be Li Yunlong's chief of staff? Don't worry, it's not a demotion. You will be the chief of staff of an independent detachment." Looking at Ding Wei who had a puzzled look on his face, the boss explained.

"And I have also sent orders to your Ji Zhong 28th Regiment, and they have been transferred here. After your men arrive, quickly go to the New st Regiment to change their uniforms. Li Yunlong happens to be here too." After saying that, the deputy commander pointed backwards.

Li Yunlong came out from the side with a smile on his face and walked towards Ding Wei: "Hahahaha, Old Ding, I miss you so much."

When Ding Wei saw Li Yunlong suddenly appear, he would be lying if he said he was unhappy, but the deputy commander-in-chief was still there, so Ding Wei just gave Li Yunlong a simple hug and then let go.

The general looked at the two happy people and knew that they had something to say, so he said, "I am busy here, so I will not keep you here. Li Yunlong, take Ding Wei back to the base and prepare your new regiment. I don't want you to have such a messy battle again."

"Yes!" After saluting, the two left the headquarters.
