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

Early the next morning, Li Yunlong came howling at the door, carrying two bottles of sweet potato soup and a bag of fried peanuts.

"Brother Wang Meng, our Lao Li is here!"

As soon as Li Yunlong entered the house, he saw these soldiers in fancy clothes either running in the yard, sweeping the floor, or fetching water.

Are these the bandits from the mountains?

Li Yunlong tilted his head and walked into the house slowly, but he did not see Wang Meng. Instead, he saw the tall and strong Zhang Xuan.

"Morning, Captain Li!"

Li Yunlong looked furtively into the inner room, but did not see Wang Meng.

"What do you call this brother?"

Zhang Xuan had a heartfelt admiration for these veterans of the War of Resistance against Japan and stood at attention.

"Reporting to Captain Li, I am Zhang Xuan, the deputy captain of our squadron!"

"Squadron? How come they are the same as the Japs? What squadron or squadron?"

Zhang Xuan couldn't explain it and could only giggle.

"Xuan Zi, where is Brother Wang Meng?"

"Hey, he went outside with the instructor to survey the terrain. He said that he could only sleep well after he understood the surrounding terrain."

After saying this, Li Yunlong took the liquor and fried peanuts in his hands like treasures, squatted at the door, and observed the soldiers.

These soldiers were all full of energy and spirit, and they all seemed to know Lao Li, and they shouted "Hello, Commander Li!" as they came and went.

Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Li Yunlong kept returning the greetings and his face became stiff from smiling.

Li Yunlong thought to himself that judging from their performance on the battlefield yesterday, these soldiers were not afraid of death, had high combat qualities, and were all good soldiers.

Moreover, looking at it today, his style is quite good, with some shadows of the Eighth Route Army. He is even more energetic and motivated than the noisy New 1st Regiment he led.

Even if Li Yunlong was fed ten kilograms of sweet potato stew, he would not believe that these soldiers were heroes who had turned to banditry.

Just when Li Yunlong had sorted out all the armed forces, big and small, in northwestern Shanxi and still had no clue, Wang Meng and Lin Shubing stepped in.

"Captain Li, you're here so early?"

Li Yunlong quickly stood up and walked over with a wry smile on his face.

"Oh, I've been waiting for you for an hour. My butt is almost touching the ground!"

Li Yunlong took out the sweet potato cake and fried peanuts in his hand and placed them in front of Wang Meng with a smile.

"Drink?"

Lin Shubing frowned. Drinking on the front line in broad daylight, isn't this a violation of discipline?

Wang Meng was a little greedy because he had never tasted authentic sweet potato cake.

"Instructor, this is for my job. You and Henry Zhang should stop drinking. I'll leave you two on duty."

After Wang Meng finished speaking, he pulled Li Yunlong into the house.

Zhang Xuan licked his lips. A higher-ranking official can crush people to death. He stood beside the table sullenly and poured wine for Wang Meng and Li Yunlong.

"Brother Wang Meng, let's fight first, because you killed Sakata with three shots yesterday."

Li Yunlong bumped into Wang Meng with a clang, then tilted his head back and poured the sweet potato soup into his stomach.

Drinking like this so early in the morning?

Although Wang Meng was a little scared, when had a soldier ever been afraid of a drinking contest?

Wang Meng followed suit, and the highly spicy sweet potato burn went down his throat and into his stomach, which also felt hot.

Li Yunlong raised his eyes quietly, wow, this is great!

"Come on, let's toast to you for your bravery and helping our New 1st Regiment break through!"

Li Yunlong didn't say anything and drank another bowl of sweet potato stew.

Wang Meng wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't expect that the sweet potato would get him so excited so quickly! He had no choice but to follow suit.

Good fellow, you don't want to give in? Then keep going!

Li Yunlong was about to reach for the wine bowl again, but a pair of big hands immediately held the bowl down.

"Captain Li, can you let me take my time? Let's eat first."

Li Yunlong laughed in his heart, "Is that all? You little brat, Kong Erlangzi and Ding Wei combined are no match for me, you want to fight me?"

"Okay, our Lao Li said he would have a good drink with you, but you can't do that! You need to practice!"

Wang Meng looked at the huge wine bowl. The two bowls together should weigh at least four taels. Is that not enough?

"Captain Li, I will learn more from you in the future."

When Li Yunlong heard this, he thought, "You want to follow me?" It's like someone handed me a pillow when I was dozing off. Whatever you want will come true.

"Brother Wang, these troops outside don't look like the green forest heroes in the mountains, right?"

Wang Meng had no choice but to make up a new cover.

"To be honest, we are all overseas Chinese. When we saw our motherland in trouble, we sneaked in from the southern border to help the war!"

Li Yunlong believed it half a point. These weapons and equipment could not be produced by domestic arsenals. They were most likely new weapons brought from abroad.

"Brother, that rocket launcher and that medium-length machine gun are both new foreign weapons, right?"

"Yes, we got them all in exchange for real money from overseas Chinese in Country M."

Oh? No, the overseas Chinese who returned in the past, such as the Nanyang Machinery Team, went to the National Government. Why did this team choose our Tubalu?

Wang Meng also noticed Li Yunlong's doubts.

"We were in Guangzhou before. The Kuomintang was a bunch of bastards. They sold all our weapons and fought a stupid war!"

Hehe, when Li Yunlong heard Wang Meng scolding the Kuomintang, he was happy from the bottom of his heart. When he was in the Red Army, he had dealt with these bastards a lot.

"Brother Wang Meng, what are your plans for the future? I think you are a talented person, do you want to stay and work with me?"

Wang Meng originally wanted to follow Li Yunlong, after all, there were jokes that were popular on the Internet at that time.

"Give Li Yunlong an army, and he dares to attack Tokyo!"

If we could kill the Japanese emperor, wouldn't we be famous in history?

"Okay, but I have a condition. I will only work with you. Wherever you go, I will go. My brothers cannot be separated!"

Isn't this exactly what Li Yunlong wanted? This strong young man holding a "machine gun" has more firepower than an entire regiment.

Damn it, if I had known this guy was hanging out with me, there would be no way I could break out! After dealing with Sakata, I’ll go after Kameda, and after dealing with Kameda, I’ll go after Yamamoto, and then I’ll go straight to Ping’an County!

Li Yunlong took a sip of wine depressedly.

"Brother, in this case, why don't you just join the regular army and call it the Ping'an County Brigade?"

Li Yunlong's calculations were clacking. This precious treasure had to be kept hidden. If the superiors knew about it, wouldn't they be plundering it? Don't send this team to Yan'an, then I, Li, would suffer a great loss.

Wang Meng didn't care whether it was the regular army or the county brigade. As long as he followed a boss like Li Yunlong who dared to fight and loved to fight, he could beat the Japanese devils happily!

"Okay! Captain Li, we came to you and we can't be empty-handed. We brought some small gifts to the New First Regiment. Let's go and take a look?"

Li Yunlong grinned.

"How embarrassing is this?"

When Wang Meng heard this, he sat down.

"Captain Li is just as he said outside, he will never take more than he deserves. So forget it!"

Li Yunlong couldn't sit still. How could this guy be so honest? Whenever I saw the pork stall, I would touch it and get a taste of the meat. How could I not eat the fat meat that was delivered to my mouth for free?

"No, I know you are a person of the moment, I can't let you down, let's go and take a look!"
