Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Li Yunlong threw the blueprint on the table and said angrily, "Student Lin, don't worry about your shells. They can't be produced at all. You should go to bed early! You made such a flashy thing and asked me to apologize to you. I am really losing money!"

"Li Yunlong, please explain yourself clearly! You came back in such a hurry, and as soon as you entered the door, your eyes were not eyes, your nose was not a nose, and you got angry. What are you trying to do?"

Li Yunlong replied angrily: "I have asked Zhang Wanhe, he told me that they can't even produce the shells properly, let alone the electrical boards inside, and they don't have the production capacity. The drawings are good, but if you want to make them real, it's impossible even for foreign countries to do it!"

"Captain Li, I'm not kidding you! I've already streamlined this thing, but the arsenal can't even produce shells, so it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, the result is out, so I'll go back and have a good sleep!"

Lin Zhenhua left the regiment headquarters yawning, and Zhao Gang also looked grim. He didn't expect that the advanced artillery shells he had high hopes for would only remain on the drawings forever.

Zhao Gang called the brigade commander and reported the situation truthfully. Brigade Commander Chen said a few words and then hung up the phone.

"Political Commissar Zhao, what did the brigade commander say?"

"The brigade commander said that the blueprints have been temporarily sealed and will be produced when we are able to do so. We should continue to support Lin's research and give him suggestions so that he can develop some weapons that can be easily produced. The last flying thunder cannon is a very good invention. Various troops are working hard to imitate it. We will send people to learn from it in a few days!"

Li Yunlong did not say anything strange, but nodded to show that he understood, and began his routine night patrol.

It was the end of November and the weather was getting colder. The Chinese New Year was just a few months away and the personnel who came to learn how to operate the flying thunder cannon had already returned to their units. Lin Zhenhua finally had some free time. When he was idle, he always liked to make some noise.

Not to mention that the signing in over the past month had allowed Lin Zhenhua to accumulate a lot of goodies, but he could only look at them and not eat them. In addition, the Japanese blockade of the base area made Lin Zhenhua's stomach empty, and he had to eat sweet potatoes for every meal, and he was almost vomiting.

Lin Zhenhua came to the regiment headquarters to find Li Yunlong. As soon as they met, he shouted: "Captain Li, if I keep eating sweet potatoes every day, I will become a sweet potato. Besides, the soldiers also eat sweet potatoes every day, how can they have the energy to train? You are the commander of the regiment, but you don't think of ways to make some delicious food for the soldiers and improve their lives. If the soldiers don't eat well, how can they have the energy to fight the Japanese on the battlefield!"

Li Yunlong was smoking a cigarette that he had captured from the Japanese. He was already at the end of the cigarette, but he was still reluctant to throw it away. He rolled his eyes and said, "Student Lin, just be content! I'm not asking you to eat sweet potatoes every meal and coarse grains every few days. You are treated so well. Ask around. What do other regiments eat?"

"Student Lin, Captain Li is right. Our independent regiment has good food. We have captured the spoils of war from the Japanese and stored some food in advance. Otherwise, we would have to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. The Japanese have not stopped their raids on the base. I estimate that the Japanese will return to their base when the weather gets cold. We will have to endure a few more months of hard times!"

Lin Zhenhua found a stool and sat down, curling his lips and said, "The fact that the independent regiment can't eat meat is related to you two! You two can't get food, but I have a way to get food. I can't get it back by myself, so I need your help!"

"Hey, today the sun is really rising from the west. You are usually as lazy as a turtle, but today you come to me on your own initiative. What are you up to? Tell me the truth! I don't want to hear your bragging. If you can really get something good, I will be your deputy this time!"

Lin Zhenhua took out six large bags of laxatives from his arms, put them on the table, and boasted: "This bag weighs one pound, a total of six bags, if you use five times the amount, one bag can knock out 100 people, these six bags can knock out 600 people. This has been tested by Captain Li and I personally. Five times the amount of medicine, in fact, the effect is very good. I once did an experiment on rabbits, and two grams of it was enough to kill the rabbit!"

"I heard from the soldiers who were previously trained in the independent regiment that there were a large number of Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Balipu Town. They were responsible for guarding the supplies looted by the Japanese invaders. There was a squadron of Japanese invaders and two companies of puppet troops guarding them, a total of 400 people."

"Put these six packets of laxatives in their food, and we can occupy Balipu Town without any hesitation and bring back all the supplies that the Japanese have stored here!"

Lin Zhenhua proudly told Li Yunlong about his plan. Li Yunlong couldn't stand his smug look and scolded him angrily: "You little bastard, you have a lot of ideas. I don't know what's wrong with your brain. You actually made a laxative that takes effect after three hours. This made the soldiers of the independent regiment dare not spread your embarrassing stories, for fear that you put laxatives in their food. You are a celebrity in our independent regiment, and no one dares to provoke you. Even monks dare not explode in front of you. It's really unfair!"

"You, a weakling, have become the most untouchable character in our independent regiment. I, Li Yunlong, can only be regarded as the second in command of the independent regiment. When I think of this, I can't wait to kick you a few times to vent my anger!"

"Hahaha, Captain Li, I know you're angry about your bad reputation. It's just that you got the nickname Li the Greedy. Now everyone has forgotten it. No one has mentioned it for half a month. Don't keep remembering it. Tell me about my plan."

Li Yunlong nodded with a smile on his face, and waved his hand happily, saying, "You have a good idea, kid. I will arrange for someone to investigate the situation in Balipu Town in a while. If conditions permit, we will take him down, and it will also be a good opportunity for our independent regiment to have a taste of the spoils!"

Zhao Gang did not object. Lin Zhenhua's plan had little risk. Even if it failed, the loss would not be great. At most, a few packets of laxatives would be wasted. Besides, he still remembered the effect of Lin Zhenhua's laxatives. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a miracle drug. It was surprisingly effective and secretly solved the constipation problem of the soldiers, which in turn improved the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Under Li Yunlong's arrangement, Zhang Dabiao personally sent someone to investigate and rushed back the next night. As a result, he drank the water handed to him by Lin Zhenhua, burped, and introduced: "Captain, Political Commissar, classmate Lin, I have already found out the truth, but it is different from what classmate Lin said before."

"There are two Japanese squadrons stationed in Balipu Town. One is the original Inoue Squadron, and the other is a squadron that looks particularly elite, but no information has been obtained about them. This Japanese squadron is very well-equipped, and their spirit and energy show that they are definitely the elite among the elite Japanese. They just entered Balipu Town yesterday."

"The situation of the puppet army is correct. There are two companies of puppet troops stationed there. The company commanders are Liu Qiang and Xu Hai. They are die-hard traitors. They were originally bandits in this area. Later, they were recruited by the devils and turned into company commanders of puppet troops. They have committed countless blood debts and are even more cruel than the devils!"

"There are a total of 562 puppet troops and Japanese soldiers stationed in Balipu Town. They usually eat separately, and the meal time is one hour. A meal is just divided into two groups. As long as the laxative is added to their meals, it will be no problem to knock them all down!"
