Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Wing County.

It was already evening, and Lin Tian led his troops back to Yi County.

Li Yunlong and his companions seized a lot of supplies from the Japanese this time. Their faces have been stiff from smiling for the past few days, and they were happier than during the Chinese New Year.

The troops had already set up their stoves to cook, and were waiting for the arrival of the First Division to eat and rest.

"Haha, Lin Tian! I heard that you beat up the Central Army's Provisional 86th Army up there!"

"Come on, come on, tell us Lao Li!"

"You don't know, during the Long March, this Liu Yuntao was a fucking division commander! It was this bastard who chased after our regiment and wouldn't let go!"

"Damn it! This son of a bitch has used the heads of our comrades to exchange for military merits!"

"You did a great job this time! Come, let me, Old Li, toast you a glass!"

Li Yunlong stood up suddenly and picked up a bowl of wine.

"Old Li, we have already agreed that you can only drink three bowls at most today!"

"We're not safe here yet, take it easy, kid!"

Zhao Gang reminded in a low voice.

"Hahaha, got it! Lao Zhao! Our Lao Li keeps his word!"

Li Yunlong laughed.

"I didn't expect that Liu Yuntao has such a blood feud with us!"

"Don't worry, Captain! We will avenge this sooner or later! Our great cause will surely succeed!"

Lin Tian immediately picked up a bowl of wine and said seriously.

"That's right, what Lao Li said is right!"

"Back then, the three of us were in the same class! When the team passed through a mountainous area, there was an orphan, only ten years old, who insisted on going with us!"

"Later, the political commissar put the child in the kitchen because there was food there and the child was growing. He was named Xiao Ah Qi because he followed the team for seven days!"

"The result was that the bastard Liu Yuntao broke up the team!"

"After we reunited, we found out that Xiao Ah Qi was captured by Liu Yuntao. In order to force him to reveal the whereabouts of the team, Liu Yuntao, the son of a bitch, skinned him alive! It's tragic! Too tragic!"

"Little Ah Qi didn't say a word until he died!"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie also recalled those difficult years and couldn't help but moisten their eyes when they thought of little Ah Qi's innocent smile.

The two men raised their wine bowls and drank them all.

"Salute to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives! Salute to the steadfast fighters!"

Zhao Gang spilled the wine on the ground and choked with sobs.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the soldiers had already rested.

Lin Tian pulled Li Yunlong and others into the command center.

"Captains, I have an idea that I want to discuss with you."

Lin Tian took out a map and repeated his previous plan for garrison.

"That's true. Our strength and logistics are not enough to support us in occupying the city!"

"The chief has already proposed the strategy of surrounding the cities with the countryside!"

"The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will definitely not give up Yi County. After all, Yi County is an important barrier for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army!"

"Then, how many people does Commander Lin plan to leave in Yi County?"

Zhao Gang agreed with Lin Tian's idea and said.

"Haha, well, our division one still has to go to Qucheng. We only have so few people. If we were to scatter and defend the city, we would be defeated one by one by the Japanese."

"My idea is... to have the regiment commander garrison Yi County."

"The officials of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army are really hard for ordinary people to deal with. Only someone like our commander who doesn't play by the rules can disrupt their plans and seek more benefits for us."

"But for this matter, we still need to seek the opinions of the headquarters and the group leader. After all, this is not a trivial matter."

Lin Tian looked at Li Yunlong and said with a smile.

"There's nothing wrong with what you said, kid, you're so cunning now!"

"But the reason is very simple. We are just helping Old Man Yan by doing some long-term work for a few days!"

"And we bring our own food and tools! Haha! In our hometown, the food and tools are all provided by our fucking employer!"

"So, we've been busy all this time and have contributed a lot! Commander Yan should pay us! That's it! He should thank us!"

"However, this matter must be ordered by the headquarters! Otherwise, if Lao Li does not take the troops back after the battle and keeps troops stationed outside without authorization, the brigade commander will definitely scold me!"

Li Yunlong laughed, but for some reason, the brigade commander's kind smile suddenly flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help shivering.

"Oh, I didn't expect Lao Li to be so disciplined now. I'm really happy for you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gang smiled, shook Li Yunlong's big hand, and said with a smile.

"Hey, Political Commissar Zhao, if Li Yunlong behaves like a good kid, then something bad will happen!"

"He doesn't need to be praised. Once you praise him, he will be so happy that he will lose his mind and will definitely cause trouble for you!"

"Do you think he is a good student? Don't I know his tricks?"

"This kid must be asking for too much. It's too far away for him to stay in Yi County! The headquarters can't even contact him, how can he not be happy?!"

"Another thing, if the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army wants to return to Yi County, they will definitely talk to Li Yunlong first! If they can't reach an agreement, they will contact your headquarters!"

"Hey, in this case, this kid will ask for a huge amount of money and take kickbacks!"

Kong Jie took two puffs of his old pipe and said with a grin.

"Haha, what Lao Kong said is right! This kid always falls on his butt and has to pinch two ounces of dirt to stand up! He will be so uncomfortable that he can't sleep if he doesn't take advantage of others!"

"Old Li must be thinking that as long as he asks for permission, the job will definitely be his!"

"Hey! He was bragging to me when you guys weren't here. This time when he returns, he's going to expand the camp by eight!"

"Listen, this kid is even more awesome than the commander!"

Ding Wei also stood up and hit Li Yunlong right in the heart.

"You are such a fool! Is our Lao Li that kind of person?!"

"And you! Lao Ding! When did you become the same person as Lao Kong?!"

"You are slandering me! I will sue you for slander!"

After all, they were old comrades-in-arms. Kong Jie and Ding Wei immediately thought of what Li Yunlong wanted to do.

"It's okay, it's okay! I mean, the captain is here!"

"When the time comes, just ask for more. It's a negotiation. Only when the price is higher can we have something to talk about!"

"If it doesn't work, just blame it on the headquarters and me!"

Lin Tian said.

Apart from anything else, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army’s arsenal was a very popular commodity.

The submachine guns and artillery made in Jin are of good quality, and even the Japanese are equipped with Jin-made weapons.

For most of the Eighth Route Army soldiers, where there was not even one gun for every three men, these were rare treasures.

Before Lin Tian could equip the entire Eighth Route Army, he had to first solve the problem of whether or not there were weapons.

When Lin Tian’s arsenal is on track and mass-producing weapons, the issue of whether the weapons are sophisticated or not can be resolved.

By that time, no Japanese could withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army.
