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

Kong Jie knocked the pipe against the sole of his shoe and went out to see what tricks Li Yunlong was up to.

"Captain Kong, Captain Li asked you to bring a company of soldiers and a wheelbarrow to help clean up the battlefield!"

Kong Jie seemed to not believe his ears. He and Fang Zhiwei looked at each other in bewilderment. Has Li Yunlong changed? He even asked people to help clean up the battlefield? In the past, even if they dug the battlefield three feet deep and sifted the soil through a sieve, it would be impossible to leave a single bullet behind.

"Comrade, are you right?"

“Yes, Captain Kong, our Captain Li does ask you to help clean up the battlefield!”

Kong Jie felt unhappy. Now his New Second Regiment was hindering the "Iron Triangle" and had fallen into a situation where they had to rely on others for support.

However, he had a scale in his heart. When Li Yunlong made this decision, he had no other intention. He just wanted to provide assistance to the New Second Regiment and send some weapons and equipment to it.

Kong Jie accepted this favor!

Kong Jie, along with the idle Deputy Regiment Commander Fang, led two companies of soldiers and pushed wheelbarrows to the Huanhe position.

Li Yunlong looked at the sea of ​​wheelbarrows and exclaimed that Kong Jie was too cruel. He asked him to bring a company, but it seemed that he brought at least two companies?

"Old Li, I won't say anything more. I'll remember this favor in my heart! How many cabinets did you kill this time?"

Li Yunlong stretched out four fingers mysteriously and shook them towards Kong Jie.

"Four hundred?"

Li Yunlong had a look of disappointment on his face and poked four fingers into Kong Jie's face.

"four thousand!"

"Li Yunlong, you are not bragging, right? Didn't you only bring one battalion of soldiers? How could you defeat four thousand?"

"Why would I lie to you? The Loyalists have 2,000 men, the Yoshino Battalion has 1,000, and the Katayama devils have 500 to 600. That's 4,000 no matter how you count it!"

"Oh my goodness! Lao Li, can you defeat a regiment with just one battalion?"

Li Yunlong curled his lips. He also took advantage of the terrain. The Japanese's large army could not move freely and could only squeeze towards a stone bridge.

They also took advantage of the Japanese's underestimation of the enemy and their eagerness to advance, otherwise the Yoshino Battalion would not have been so easily defeated.

And there are more than 3,000 mobs - the Loyal and Patriotic Army.

Otherwise, even if he had a howitzer, he would not be able to defeat the 6,000 Japanese soldiers who were as numerous as locusts.

"Old Kong, without further ado, just clean up from the west bank to the east bank of the Huan River. I have already sent a company to guard the Anyang direction, so don't worry!"

Kong Jie was also not vague. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment loaded the Japanese Type 38 rifles and the puppet army's Hanyang rifles onto the wheelbarrows like breaking corn cobs.

Fang Zhiwei searched a pile of ruins on the west bank of the Huan River, dug up the bodies of three or four Japanese devils, and a Type 92 heavy machine gun that was completely black was revealed.

"We're rich! Our regiment doesn't even have a heavy machine gun! Come on, move it back!"

Fang Zhiwei was like a bounty hunter searching for treasure. He found a mortar and a grenade launcher one after another, and reaped a lot of rewards.

After cleaning for about an hour, the new group's wheelbarrow was almost full.

Fang Zhiwei happily took a deputy officer's knife and handed it to Li Yunlong.

"Captain Li, I found a lieutenant's sword!"

Li Yunlong didn't even raise his eyelids. He was a man who had held Asaka Naruhiko's command knife. How could it be just a lieutenant's knife?

"Deputy Captain Fang, I already have several lieutenant's swords. I'll leave this one to Captain Kong as a souvenir."

Kong Jie was not polite either. He took the deputy officer's knife back and pulled it out to fight.

Li Yunlong was afraid that Kong Jie would have to cut off a few more fingers to repay the favor, so he immediately put a cross on it.

"Deputy Captain Fang, how's the cleaning going?"

"Hey, four mortars, ten grenade launchers, four Type 92 heavy machine guns, eleven light machine guns, more than 1,200 rifles, and that's not counting the bullets and grenades."

Li Yunlong was so angry that his teeth were itching. All the weapons and equipment on the east bank of the Huan River had been taken away by the Japanese. Otherwise, the seizure could have been doubled.

Kong Jie wanted to give half of it to Li Yunlong so that the independent regiment would not work in vain, but his request was ruthlessly rejected.

"Leave the Japanese canned food to us, give half of the grenades to Lao Ding, and take away the rest."

Li Yunlong is now wealthy and powerful, but he is not so rich that he does not care about the weapons of the Japanese. At worst, he can supply them to the local armed forces, right?

In fact, the equipment of the new regiment is more advanced than that of the independent regiment, such as the county battalion and district squad.

Kong Jie's eyes were filled with tears. If the Eighth Route Army did not accept sworn brotherhood, he would have kowtowed to Li Yunlong.

"Okay, stop being a bitch. These thousand plus good guns can replace your New Second Regiment. Now it's up to you!"

Kong Jie left a company behind to continue screening the position, not letting a single bullet go, and by the way burned the bodies of the Japanese and puppet soldiers to avoid the stench.

Dozens of wheelbarrows loaded with weapons and equipment returned to the New Second Regiment’s base. Every soldier’s eyes lit up.

There are more than a thousand guns, as well as light and heavy weapons. If the New Second Regiment relies on itself to seize them, it will take an unknown amount of time.

"Our Captain Kong is really impressive. This amount of equipment is enough to equip another regiment!"

"That's right. When I heard that the independent regiment's commander Li Yunlong gave these weapons to our commander Kong, he didn't even frown."

"I've heard that the independent regiment was originally headed by our Captain Kong, but was later given to Li Yunlong. It was a big favor!"

A beating drum does not require a heavy hammer. With these weapons and equipment, Kong Jie became more confident and focused on training and fighting the Japanese.

They only provide emergency relief but not poverty relief. If the New Second Regiment fails to develop with the help of Li Yunlong, then it will have no presence in Shanxi in the future.

More than 200 melon-shaped grenades of the Japanese devils were delivered to the Niujiazhuang position of the New 1st Regiment. Ding Wei was still wondering how Kong Jie, who was so poor that he was bleeding from the waist, could be so generous. After asking, he found out that it was Li Yunlong who did it.

"Li Yunlong has a conscience. I will keep this melon grenade. I will give him a share of the credit when I kill the Japanese!"

As they were talking, the Japanese had already built simple fortifications in Niujiazhuang. It seemed that they did not take Ding Wei's new regiment seriously and were preparing to pass through quickly.

The Japs still used the old tactics. Relying on the fact that the New 1st Regiment had no heavy artillery, they placed four Type 92 infantry guns and a dozen heavy mortars on the open ground and began to "plow the land."

Although the New 1st Regiment made a small fortune with the wealth Li Yunlong had earned, and seized a lot of machine guns and rifles, it still had no infantry artillery, only a dozen mortars.

However, the mortar that Ding Wei treated as his treasure was not as powerful as the Type 92 infantry gun, and he was too lazy to take it out to blow it up. He just had to wait for the Japanese to come up and attack the infantry!

Ding Wei was hiding in the bunker and his face was covered with dirt.

"Damn it, aren't you just bullying me because I don't have Li Yunlong's heavy artillery? When your infantry comes up, I'll beat you up!"

"Captain Ding, you have it now!"
