Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"Good! Captain Li is a straightforward person!"

"Then I won't say any more nonsense!"

"To be honest, this time, the two of us are here to ask your army to return Yi County!"

"Captain Li also knows that Yi County is the gateway to our Jinsui Army. Its importance is self-evident!"

"This time, the Japanese occupied Yi County, and Commander Yan was furious!"

"Thanks to your army's timely action, we have taken back Yi County. Commander Yan asked me to express his gratitude to your army on his behalf!"

Commander Fu spoke straight to the point.

"Oh, Commander Fu, aren't you making things difficult for me? I'm just a small regiment commander. I don't have the final say on matters like this!"

"If this is the yard of my Li Yunlong family, as long as Commander Yan doesn't look at it much, I will definitely offer it to you with both hands!"

"only……"

Li Yunlong pretended to be embarrassed and said.

"Yes, Commander Fu, we are just following the orders from headquarters."

"As you know, we have always been active in rural and mountainous areas. This is the first time we have liberated a county town, and the head of the headquarters has attached great importance to it!"

"This is the first time in the history of our Eighth Route Army!"

"That's why the headquarters asked our independent regiment to stay and garrison Yi County!"

Zhao Gang also took the opportunity to say that their rank was not high enough and they could only follow the orders from the headquarters on such matters. He also hinted that Commander Fu and his men should go to the headquarters to negotiate.

"Haha, I am indeed reckless. I just wonder if you two can tell me what your military headquarters plans to do with this matter?"

Commander Fu is an old fox. When he came out, Li Yunlong was still working as a bamboo craftsman in Dabie Mountains, and Zhao Gang was nowhere to be found peeing and playing in the mud.

Commander Fu knew this little trick as soon as he heard it.

Although Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang said that they could not make a decision, their words did not imply that Yi County would not be returned to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

There is no mention of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters being determined to occupy Yi County.

That means the Eighth Route Army wants some benefits...

After Commander Fu figured it out, he winked at Chief of Staff Guo Dan.

"Haha, you two, Commander Fu and I have something important to do today. We just happened to pass by Yi County, so I wanted to come in and get in touch with your army!"

"It's getting late. We won't bother you any more. We should go back!"

"Come on, both of you, let us drink this cup to the full, and may our friendship last forever!"

Guo Dan understood what Commander Fu meant and raised his glass.

Li Yunlong was very happy when he heard this. He finally sent them off. He was almost twitching from pretending to smile. He also had to be careful with his words and not swear. It was really hard for Old Li. However, he was still very polite: "You are leaving now? No! Look at all the food on the table. You haven't even taken a few bites yet!"

"Haha, since Commander Fu and Chief of Staff Guo have important matters to attend to, we won't stay long."

"I hope you two can come to Yi County as guests next time!"

At this time, Zhao Gang stood up with a glass of wine and said.

Hearing this, Li Yunlong was surprised. Why was Old Zhao even more impatient than him today?

Then they drank the last glass of wine, and Commander Fu and Guo Dan left with the guard company.

"Haha, Lao Zhao, you are such a fool. Today you even told me not to talk nonsense!"

"I didn't expect you to be so rude. You didn't even stay for a moment when someone asked you to leave!"

Li Yunlong looked at the backs of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army as they left, and immediately burst into laughter. He patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder and scolded him with a smile.

He had been holding it in for several hours without uttering a single curse word, and he was almost going crazy. Now that he was facing Zhao Gang, he finally felt comfortable.

"Old Li, judging from the situation today, you won't die if you don't swear."

"It would be great if it could be like this in the future!"

"I just told them to go back and talk to the headquarters. Isn't it a waste of time for us to talk to them?"

"As you know, the headquarters has issued an order to split up the troops. Now all the troops are developing in a dispersed manner!"

"Our independent regiment always stays in Yi County, which affects the development of the team."

"I heard that Captain Kong and his men have already formed a battalion after they divided up their troops. Aren't you, Old Li, itching to do that?"

Zhao Gang joked with Li Yunlong and then explained.

This made Li Yunlong very anxious. He didn't expect that Kong Jie could raise a battalion just after dividing the troops. He must have relied on the spoils captured this time.

Li Yunlong thought of the full amount of captured spoils in his hands. If he didn't equip himself with these things quickly, the brigade commander would sooner or later keep an eye on them.

"Old Zhao! You're right. We can't affect the development of the team!"

"You are an intellectual! Now the people of Yi County are coming back one after another!"

"Our independent regiment is recruiting soldiers in Yi County!"

Li Yunlong was a man of great intelligence. Since the Japanese did not surround the city when they attacked Yi County, the people in the city evacuated immediately.

Now Yi County has been recaptured. When the people heard the news, they rushed back in a hurry.

They can easily recruit soldiers in Yi County. The people of Yi County now have their homes destroyed by the Japanese invaders, and every man wants to seek revenge on them.

"Okay! Lao Li, you are right! I will do it right away!"

Zhao Gang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He immediately took the propaganda officer of the group to post slogans.

……

Ji County, headquarters of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Commander Fu and Guo Dan were sitting in Commander Yan's office at this time, reporting on today's situation.

"Commander-in-Chief, I think the Eighth Route Army is bargaining with us!"

"Yi County belongs to our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Although the Eighth Route Army helped to break the siege this time, this is too much!"

"We have also delivered our supplies, and we have also given all the equipment we captured from the Japanese to the Eighth Route Army!"

"They are still not satisfied! They want to defend Yi County and eat our Shanxi Suiyuan Army!"

Chief of Staff Guo Dan was furious. In his eyes, the Eighth Route Army was a bunch of peasants. They were so proud of their contribution to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army that they even wanted to blackmail them.

Guo Dan also believed that the Eighth Route Army was able to capture Yi County this time entirely because the number of Japanese troops in Yi County was too small, which allowed the Eighth Route Army to gain an advantage.

In this situation, who can't break in? The six divisions of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army are not vegetarians.

The Eighth Route Army was just chasing the Japanese army all the way and didn't pay any attention to Shangyi County. It was obvious that they were just taking advantage of the situation!

"No, Chief of Staff, you were not at the front line this time, so you have not seen the firepower of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Their division is so well-equipped and has such strong combat capability that I have never seen anything like it in my life!"

"If it was Division I that was stationed in Yi County this time, you would know that we would have no choice but to talk!"

Commander Fu did not agree with Guo Dan's words. The other division wiped out more than 50,000 Japanese soldiers along the way and only then took over Yi County.

Moreover, the Japanese army was preparing to enter Yi County at that time. If they had really entered, even if the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had sent another six divisions, it would not have been able to take Yi County.

If it really is a division guarding Yi County, the Shanxi Suiyuan Army will have no choice but to negotiate.

Although their commander-in-chief was the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone, the Eighth Route Army was nominally under the command of their commander-in-chief.

However, in troubled times, whoever has the bigger fist is right. Trying to suppress the Eighth Route Army by force will probably backfire.

"Commander-in-Chief, why don't we contact the Eighth Route Army Headquarters first and see what they say."

Commander Fu reminded.
