Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Wang Meng frowned and issued an order to speed up the training, trying to complete the new regiment's outfitting before that matter was settled.

The entire New 1st Regiment entered the "Devil's Week" training, practicing marching, shooting, throwing grenades, and bayonet fighting during the day, and attending literacy classes at night.

Within a month, Zhang Dabiao's First Battalion met all the training standards and changed their equipment as a whole. The Second and Third Battalions followed suit.

At the changing-of-equipment ceremony, the soldiers of the new regiment were still holding on to their old rifle sleeves and were reluctant to throw them away.

"Captain, I see the soldiers are reluctant to change, saying they are used to living in poverty and can't live a good life! Now they fire more bullets in a day than in their entire lives!"

Li Yunlong was so happy when he saw the high-spirited troops that he wished he could pull them out to fight the Japanese right away.

"Damn it, you are so useless. With these good equipment, even if our overseas Chinese brothers don't support us in the future, we can still surrender them from the devils. Hurry and give them to me!"

Li Yunlong's national curse made the soldiers laugh, and the change of uniforms was completed in less than a day.

Looking at the rows of "International" brand rifles, Li Yunlong sighed. These guns used to be treasures, but now our standards have become higher and we no longer look down on them.

"Come here, put these guns in order for me, and organize the matching bullets for me. I will deliver them to the brigade commander when I have time!"

Li Yunlong's heart was beating fast. It had been a month or two since the battle of Cangyunling, but why was there still no news of punishment for his disobedience? Could it be that the bosses didn't want to pursue the matter?

It is better for you to go and pay your respects with weapons and equipment yourself. People who smile at you should not be offended. If it really doesn't work, just demote yourself to a lower level and become a battalion commander. It's not like we, Old Li, haven't we done that before?

There were seven or eight hundred old-style bolt-action rifles, Hanyang-style rifles, and even Type 38 rifles. In short, except for the original Czech-style light machine guns, all the others were loaded onto the vehicle.

As soon as Wang Meng saw Li Yunlong, he knew he was going to give a gift, so he pulled him aside mysteriously.

"Captain Li, are you going to give a gift?"

"Hey, Lao Li has eaten his fill, so let's give some soup to the brothers in the army."

Wang Meng took out a Browning pistol from his pocket like a magician and handed it to Li Yunlong.

"Captain Li, I have a Browning in my hand. Please take it and give it to the commander."

Li Yunlong looked left and right with the pistol in his hand. The more he looked, the more reluctant he became. He began to make calculations in his mind. If these guns could "bribe" the brigade commander, the Browning would be in trouble.

"Hehe, thank you very much, brother. I'll get you a bottle of good wine when I come back from the brigade headquarters!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Li Yunlong put Browning in his arms and led a company led by Zhang Dabiao, carrying several large vehicles, guns and bullets, towards the brigade headquarters.

Along the way, we passed by the defense areas of other troops, and saw all of them equipped with German equipment, which made the brother troops jealous.

"Mr. Li, have you made a fortune again?"

"Oh, I made a little fortune, hahaha!"

"Wow, all of them are Mausers. Don't forget your brothers when you get rich. If you need support, don't hesitate!"

"No, our Lao Li is well-known for his warm-heartedness. If the day comes when you can't carry out the main attack, let our Xinyi Regiment take over!"

"Hahaha, get out of here!"

Li Yunlong arrived at the entrance of the brigade in a mighty manner as if he was attending a parade. Wow, there were more people watching than in his entire battalion.

Li Yunlong's mirror box was passed back and forth, showing them something new.

"Hey, hey, hey, just look, don't use your fucking hands to pick it! All of you go back and report to your superiors, come to our new regiment, and when we get here we'll give you new guns and plenty of bullets!"

"Li Yunlong! Come in!"

Just when Li Yunlong was trying to poach people, the 386th Brigade Commander Chen called Li Yunlong in. If you knew, it would be fine. If you didn't know, you would think that Li Yunlong came to make merit and receive an award!

Brigade Commander Chen threw the magnifying glass onto the table.

"Li Yunlong, I was just looking for you, but you came to my door? Tell me, what do you want?"

"Hehe, this is not Cang Yunling. We broke through and seized some supplies, so we sent them to the brigade commander!"

Li Yunlong was as obedient as a cat in front of Brigade Commander Chen. When he was carrying Zhongzheng on his back, Brigade Commander Chen was carrying Zhongzheng on his back!

(In October 1925, Chiang Kai-shek, who was fond of showing off his power, led a guard regiment to the vicinity of Zijin County and was ambushed by Chen Jiongming. Almost all of the guards were killed, and even some of the officers around him abandoned him and ran away.

Baldy Jiang was also ready to follow Xiang Yu's example and stab himself with a knife, but Brigadier General Chen, who was the commander of the guard company at the time, snatched the knife away, persuaded him with kind words, and ran over a hundred miles with Baldy Jiang on his back to save him.

Brigade Commander Chen walked out of the house and looked at several large carts full of guns and bullets. He suddenly realized that this guy came to give gifts!

"Li Yunlong, you even sent us a Type 38 rifle? In the past, asking for a bullet from you was like asking for your life. Why are you so generous today? Is it like a rooster laying eggs?"

Li Yunlong didn't dare to reveal his past easily. If Brigade Commander Chen became jealous and poached his brother, he would have no place to cry.

"Hehehe, we seized some."

Brigade Commander Chen walked up to Li Yunlong, pulled out his mirror box and took a look.

"The brand new mirrored case was also seized? The brand new Mauser rifle outside was also seized? Stop talking nonsense to me. Was it given to you by someone?"

When Li Yunlong heard this, his face changed drastically and he shouted at the top of his voice.

"Which bastard is telling tales about me again? Stop talking like an old woman every day!"

"Li Yunlong! Stop accusing me. Have you forgotten where I come from? You can hide your little thing from others, but can you hide it from me?"

Li Yunlong lost his temper. Brigade Commander Chen was an intelligence officer and all the people were in his defense zone. How could he hide it from more than a hundred people?

Li Yunlong's horse face turned into a chrysanthemum again, and he reported everything about Wang Meng and the special operations team, including the delivery of equipment and the training of the new regiment.

"Brigade Commander, my brother only recognizes me and no one else."

What Li Yunlong meant was that don't even think about targeting Wang Meng, because he is his own brother and you can't do anything to him.

Brigade Commander Chen nodded. What Li Yunlong said was similar to what he knew. This kid was quite honest.

"Okay, then you should get along well with him in the future, and try to meet his needs, so as not to discourage the overseas Chinese from serving their country. I will accept your guns, you eat the meat, and give soup to the other troops."

These large vehicles and guns are not very valuable in the current New 771st Regiment, but they are very popular in the New 772nd Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and even the st and nd Regiments.

The combat effectiveness of the brother units has been improved. When a battle breaks out, even if the New 1st Regiment launches the main attack, the two wings will be much safer.

Li Yunlong stood at attention with an embarrassed smile.

"Yes! Commander, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first?"
