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

Chapter 15: The Independent Regiment Suffers Defeat

This team of well-equipped devils was none other than the Yamamoto Special Forces led by Yamamoto Ikki. They were preparing to bypass Yangcun and head straight for Daxiawan, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, two miles away.

Yamamoto's special forces did not expect that the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment had already moved to Yangcun.

Just as the vanguard group was about to bypass the village entrance, they were discovered by the independent regiment's secret sentry, and an exchange of fire ensued.

Yamamoto's special forces were equipped entirely with American equipment, were well-trained, and practiced various tactics on captured Chinese soldiers, so the Independent Regiment was naturally no match for them.

In just half an hour, not a single body was left behind, and the independent regiment suffered more than 200 casualties.

The head of the headquarters was furious. He never expected that the independent regiment, which was once boasted to the high heavens, would suffer such a huge defeat.

"What's the point of calling the independent regiment a main force regiment? I think it's just a bunch of sour dough! A regiment lost more than 200 people and didn't even see the enemy. Remove the commander!"

The staff officer immediately stood at attention and said, "Yes!"

"Where is Li Yunlong now?"

The deputy commander thought for a moment.

"Li Yunlong's punishment has not yet ended. He is still the director of the clothing factory."

"Hmph, stop wasting your time, and tell him to go to the independent regiment and set up the stall for me!"

In the clothing factory in the rear area, Li Yunlong was operating a sewing machine. It's amazing that his hands were more dexterous than those of a young wife. He could even embroider a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

The deputy factory director hurried over, touched Li Yunlong's shoulder, and whispered to him.

Li Yunlong stopped working and frowned.

"No, whoever wants to go can go! I'm embroidering well, I won't go! You have to give me an explanation. Breaking through was wrong, at least you have to redress my injustice!"

When Li Yunlong was speaking out loud, he was startled by a thunderous sound.

"Li Yunlong! Stop pretending!"

When Li Yunlong heard this, he realized that this was the "Buddha" Brigade Commander Chen, so he immediately stood up with his tail between his legs and greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, Brigade Commander, you're here in person?"

"How can I invite you, Captain Li, if you don't come? Hurry up and pack up and report to the independent regiment. If you still can't hold on, I will kill you!"

Li Yunlong stood at attention and said, "Yes!"

Then he put on a playful smile again.

"Brigade Commander, I have a condition. Don't assign me a political commissar. I will be the regiment commander and political commissar myself!"

"No, you did it all by yourself? That's rebellious!"

"Then send me the county brigade of your new regiment and Zhang Dabiao of the first battalion. I can use them easily!"

The brigade commander was amused by Li Yunlong who took advantage of the situation.

"Li Yunlong, you know how to choose the right time to lend a hand? Okay, but I warn you, don't try to take over the mountain!"

After Li Yunlong saw the brigade commander off, he began to pack his backpack.

"Deputy Director Zhang, prepare a thousand sets of military uniforms for me. I'll send someone to get them right away!"

"Without a note from the head of the headquarters, I dare not make the decision."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes and distorted the corners of his mouth.

"Did I let you make the decision? I'm the director of the clothing factory!"

The deputy factory director didn't say a word and hurriedly prepared a thousand sets of military uniforms.

Fortunately, with Wang Meng's continuous support, the clothing factory operated around the clock, with more than 2,000 sets of clothing in the warehouse alone.

After receiving the notice, Wang Meng said goodbye to Ding Wei and his comrades in the New 1st Regiment, and took Zhang Dabiao and went directly to Yangcun to meet up with Li Yunlong.

Ding Wei stood at the entrance of the village and looked around as if his wife had been abducted, wondering what would happen if Wang Meng regretted his decision and decided to have sex with him?

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

"Alas, if I hadn't promised Lao Li and the independent regiment was in real trouble right now, I would have kept the county brigade even if I had to be kidnapped!"

Li Yunlong arrived at Yangcun almost at the same time as the special forces team.

Li Yunlong took Wang Meng to meet with the leader of the independent regiment, Kong Jie.

Li Yunlong looked at the bodies of the fallen soldiers. Each of them was shot in the center of the eyebrows, with great force and accuracy.

"Old Li, there's something wrong with these devils. They all have automatic weapons. Our fortifications are all built in front of the village, but these devils sneaked in from behind the village and didn't fight a positional battle with us at all!"

"That's because you, Kong, are incompetent. Close combat and night combat are our Eighth Route Army's advantages!"

"Li Yunlong, you can insult me, but you can't insult my soldiers. Look at the bodies of these soldiers, not a single one of them was not shot in the front! The Japanese retreated as soon as we came up and didn't even engage with us!"

Li Yunlong squatted down, found several bullet casings on the ground and gave them to Wang Meng.

"Captain Wang, can you take a look?"

Wang Meng was now in extreme remorse. He had been so busy fighting the Japanese that he had even forgotten about the attack on the Independent Regiment in Yangcun.

The Japanese have been suppressed and beaten during this period, and they have become a little inflated.

"Captain, this shell is not a standard weapon of the devils. It looks like German equipment. And according to Captain Kong's description, these are specially trained devils. They are better equipped and more powerful than ordinary devils!"

Li Yunlong nodded and looked at Kong Jie with some sympathy.

He asked himself, if the New 1st Regiment encountered this group of Japanese devils, although they would not be so embarrassed, they would definitely not be able to gain any advantage.

Kong Jie looked at his own little piece of land and felt bad that it was going to change owners.

"Okay, I'll leave the independent regiment to you. I'll go feed the horses!"

"Okay, I'll take you there!"

As soon as Kong Jie walked into the regiment headquarters, he saw a large crowd of soldiers blocking the yard.

"What the hell are you doing? You have nothing to do?"

"Captain, we are your soldiers. If you want to leave, we will follow you!"

"That's right. You recognized me the day after I joined the independent regiment. When people asked me why I fought so hard against the Japanese, I said the regiment commander was watching me! I couldn't embarrass him!"

Kong Jie knocked the pipe in his mouth against the sole of his foot and frowned into a knot.

"What are you yelling about? Are you fighting the Japanese for me, Kong Jie? You're fighting for your father, your mother, your sister, and your sister! Disperse!"

Li Yunlong felt unhappy seeing that the soldiers were still gathered in the yard, so he took the opportunity to call the brigade headquarters while Kong Jie was packing his backpack.

"I am Li Yunlong of the Independent Regiment, please pick me up as the brigade commander!"

"The brigade commander is not here."

"Then follow me to headquarters!"

On the other end of the phone, when the deputy commander heard that it was Li Yunlong, he knew that this guy was definitely up to no good.

"Li Yunlong, you just arrived at the independent regiment. How are you adapting?"

"Hehe, the boss still cares about me. Everything is fine!"

"Okay, say it quickly, our time is very precious!"

"Boss, don't let Kong Jie feed the horses. If he does, the horses will lose three pounds. Let him stay and be my deputy commander!"

The deputy commander-in-chief told the commander-in-chief about Li Yunlong's request, and the commander-in-chief was very angry.

"Li Yunlong is still begging for mercy for Kong Jie. If he doesn't do a good job, I will punish him too!"
