Bright Sword: Double penetration of the dealer, shocking Li Yunlong

Chapter 12: Razing the Huting Stronghold to the Ground

"Li Yunlong, it's this troublemaker again. What does he want to do? Why didn't he inform us of such a big operation?" This is what annoyed the boss the most.

Such a big commotion had occurred, but he, the commander, was completely unaware of it. He only found out after the 358th Brigade reported it to him.

The boss will definitely be unhappy about something that is beyond his control.

The Deputy Chief of General Staff said at this time: "Boss, if you connect the bombing of Taiyuan Airport with this incident, you will understand why Li Yunlong did this."

The deputy commander paused after hearing his words, then shook his head and chuckled, "I actually forgot about him."

"This Deep Blue is really generous. He actually took down the Japanese airport."

"But even so, Li Yunlong has gone too far this time. He must be punished."

"If you have any future actions, just inform headquarters. We know the situation there."

"Does he think I will stop his actions? I'm not that stupid. On the contrary, we will provide the greatest assistance to their actions."

He knew about the business between Li Jingrong and Li Yunlong. It had only been a short time, but so much supplies and weapons and equipment had been brought to the Eighth Route Army through this route.

How could he not be willing to do this kind of business? As long as it did not violate his principles, he would do everything he could to complete it.

It was obvious that Li Yunlong did not trust his superiors and at one point believed that his freedom of action would be restricted after informing them.

Of course, from the boss's point of view, this was secondary. How could an old fox like him not know Li Yunlong's little calculations?

It was obvious that Li Yunlong was afraid that the headquarters would take away his spoils. So this time the boss had made up his mind to teach Li Yunlong a lesson no matter what.

Thinking of this, the boss sighed and said, "Lao Zuo, next time you should go and contact Shen Lan and see if you can use barter to buy supplies, weapons and ammunition from him."

He had originally planned to have Brigadier General Chen go, but due to the Japanese raids during this period, the 386th Brigade had too much to do and he was unable to get away.

Furthermore, Brigade Commander Chen was still somewhat under-qualified. If the Deputy Chief of General Staff went, he could represent the headquarters and communicate directly with Deep Blue, which would be more convenient.

The Deputy Chief of General Staff nodded and said, "Okay, once Shenlan is confirmed to be back, I will go there myself and also work on Li Yunlong."

"Hmph!" Hearing this, Boss Li Yunlong snorted coldly and said, "This time I'll let him clean the toilet. Raising horses and working in the clothing factory are all cheap jobs for him."

The deputy chief of general staff just smiled. He knew that the boss's words were just angry words. The headquarters still needed to contact Shenlan through Li Yunlong. How could he transfer Li Yunlong away from the independent regiment?

However, if Li Yunlong didn't pay a price this time, he would have a hard time getting past the boss. Meanwhile, there were two more obstacles waiting for him to overcome: Brigade Commander Chen and Division Commander Liu. It seemed like Li Yunlong's business would be working for these superiors this time.

At this moment, Li Yunlong was enjoying the performance of the artillery unit. He had never enjoyed such treatment before.

It was always the Japanese artillery that bombarded them, but this time the roles were reversed.

This time it was the Japanese's turn to be hit. Round after round of rockets came overwhelmingly, and all the fortifications on the offensive path were basically destroyed.

Li Yunlong also received news at this time that a large number of Japanese reinforcements were coming. However, the headquarters had already ordered all troops to block the Japanese reinforcements.

For this time, the headquarters mobilized more than 30,000 troops to block the attack. Li Yunlong did not expect that this time the commotion would be so big.

But this time he was able to annihilate an elite Japanese infantry regiment and capture important positions such as the Huting stronghold.

Although his operation this time was a bit against the rules, the headquarters would not blame him. Instead, they should reward him well.

This was a record never before achieved by the Eighth Route Army. Chu Yunfei watched with a complicated expression as rounds of rockets flew overhead. Then they landed in the distance, completely destroying everything.

"Commander, it seems this isn't a barreled cannon, but a weapon similar to a swarm of bees. However, it's incredibly powerful. I don't know how they did it."

Fang Ligong guessed.

Chu Yunfei nodded before saying, "Yes, this is definitely a new type of artillery, a new type never seen before. And I can also confirm that this batch of weapons and equipment has a great relationship with the country to the north. This Li Jingrong is very likely their representative."

Fang Ligong glanced at him in surprise and asked, "Why did the commander come to this conclusion?"

Chu Yunfei snorted coldly and said, "From the style of the weapon and the specifications of the bullet."

"There are many countries using the 7.62mm ammunition, but not many either. And there's only one country nearby that could receive large-scale weapons assistance. From what I've seen, the firing style of these weapons and equipment is quite crude, similar in design to the weapons of that country to the north. That's why I came to this conclusion."

Indeed, they seemed to be the only force in the surrounding area capable of bypassing the Japanese army and delivering weapons to the Eighth Route Army. However, there was one thing Fang Ligong still couldn't figure out.

"Then why is the scale of their aid so small? It seems that only the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has these new equipment." Chu Yunfei sneered and said, "There are two reasons."

"First, the small scale makes it easier to control. Even if the government finds out, they can withdraw at any time without affecting the friendly relations between the two sides. Furthermore, since the scale is small, the government won't dare to harass them."

"The second reason is that they want to test their new weapons on the battlefield here. So this explains why these weapons and equipment are things we have never seen before."

It must be said that Chu Yunfei's explanation was logically sound. So Fang Ligong believed it, and a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.

If Li Jingrong knew about his imagination, he would also give him a thumbs up. If there are any new equipment in the future, just attribute it to the polar bears. After all, these weapons do have a lot to do with polar bears. But they are not from this time and space.

"First Battalion Commander!" Li Yunlong's voice came from not far away, bringing their thoughts back to the battlefield.

"To!"

"You lead the first battalion as the vanguard and clear all obstacles on the offensive path. The rest of the troops will follow behind the first battalion. We must capture Tiger Pavilion today."

The First Battalion was the strongest and most aggressive battalion in the Independent Regiment. After all, with the reckless Zhang Dabiao around, it was normal for them to be aggressive.

"Order the artillery units to extend the fire and raze the Huting stronghold to the ground." Li Yunlong shouted with great enthusiasm.

"Yes!"

The first and second artillery companies pointed their guns at the remnants of the 41st Regiment hiding in the Huting stronghold.

The casualties of the 41st Regiment were now much greater than Li Yunlong knew, mainly due to the general attack order issued by the regiment commander, Shiro Koizumi.

Coupled with the pursuit of the independent regiment, his entire regiment had lost nearly two thousand men. Now, with the troops under his command and the Japanese troops in the stronghold, there were only about three thousand left.

In addition to the approximately 3,000 Japanese troops, there was also a battalion of puppet troops, but Koizumi Shiro did not count them.

When the battle started, they ran faster than anyone else. When the independent regiment's artillery fire began to extend, the Huting stronghold came under heavy bombardment.

Rockets rained down on the stronghold, and the fortifications there were simply unable to withstand such a fierce bombardment.

After all, they did not expect that the Eighth Route Army actually had heavy artillery and dared to take the initiative to attack their strongholds.

Therefore, they did not build too many fortifications inside the stronghold. The stronghold was actually the most unsafe place.

Fang Tianrui was extremely happy now. He had never enjoyed fighting so much in his life. Not only was there an ample supply of shells, but the artillery was surprisingly powerful.

The only pity is that there are too few rocket launchers. If there were a hundred or eighty of them, a regiment of Japanese troops at the Huting stronghold would be nothing.

But he could only think about it. This rocket launcher was indeed a good thing, but its shortcomings were also quite obvious.

The fastest reload time for 12 rockets is about 5 minutes. Furthermore, due to its poor accuracy, it can only be used for covering fire. It is obviously impossible to replace barreled artillery.
