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

The soldier's terrified look stopped abruptly, like a duck with its neck strangled.

He seemed to have seen something indescribable horror. His pupils suddenly constricted, and he pointed his trembling fingers behind Li Jingrong, mumbling incoherently: "Ghosts... Japs..."

Li Jingrong's heart instantly rose to his throat. The instinct he had developed over many years of battlefield life made him roll forward without hesitation. At the same time, he drew out the Mauser pistol from his waist and pointed the muzzle behind him!

However, the expected Japanese soldiers did not appear.

What appeared before him was Chu Yunfei's face, which was both playful and slightly serious.

"Chu Yunfei?" Li Jingrong frowned, but his grip on the gun didn't relax at all. "What are you doing here?"

Behind Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong followed quickly. He nodded to Li Jingrong as a greeting.

"Captain Li, don't be nervous. We're not here to fight." Chu Yunfei walked slowly to Li Jingrong, dusted himself off, and spoke with a subtle admiration. "Shinozuka Yoshio has a new commander. This is no small matter. I, Chu Yunfei, am here to discuss this with you."

Li Jingrong slowly stood up, his eyes as sharp as a hawk. He stared at Chu Yunfei and said in a deep voice, "Discuss? I'm afraid it's not that simple. When did you, the 358th Regiment, become so kind?"

Chu Yunfei laughed heartily, as if he had just heard some truly absurd joke. "Captain Li, let's be frank. If these little devils really attack us, can your New 1st Brigade withstand them? Don't you understand the principle of 'lips and teeth'?"

Li Jingrong snorted coldly and said nothing, which was considered as his agreement with Chu Yunfei's statement.

"Let's go to your headquarters and have a good discussion." Chu Yunfei said, and took the lead to walk towards the temporary headquarters of the New 1st Brigade.

The atmosphere in the temporary command center was solemn.

Kong Jie, Liu Yuan, Zhao Gang and others sat around a simple map with frowns on their faces.

When they saw Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong coming in, everyone looked alert.

"Relax, Captain Chu is here to discuss countermeasures with us." Li Jingrong waved his hand, signaling everyone to stay calm.

Chu Yunfei was not polite and pulled over a chair to sit down. His eyes swept across the map and finally fell on the Japanese positions marked on the map.

"This Yamada Jiro is actually much smarter than his stupid brother." Chu Yunfei sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Knowing that he is no match for his opponent in a head-on fight, he actually adopted the turtle tactic, building fortifications and waiting for reinforcements. How insidious!"

"Yes, these little devils are clearly trying to wear us out now." Liu Yuan pointed at the Japanese defense line on the map and said worriedly, "Their fortifications are very solid, and their firepower is very strong. If we attack them by force, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties."

"What's even more troublesome is that we still don't know what they're waiting for," Zhao Gang added. "If they're waiting for reinforcements or airdrops, we'll be in a more passive position."

"Airdrop supplies?" Fang Ligong pushed his glasses and analyzed calmly, "It's very likely. With Yamada Taro's defeat, their supply lines must have been affected. In order to stabilize the war situation, Shinozuka Yoshio will most likely choose to use airdrops to replenish supplies."

"If that's the case, then we have to get ahead of the Japs!" Kong Jie slammed the table and shouted angrily, "We can't let them recover, otherwise it will be even harder for us to fight!"

Li Jingrong didn't say anything. He listened to everyone's analysis silently, thinking rapidly in his mind.

He knew that the most important thing now was to understand the Japanese army's intentions and then formulate corresponding countermeasures.

"How's the situation with Master Liu? If we had a few cannons, we wouldn't be so passive." Li Jingrong suddenly asked.

Liu Yuan shook his head and sighed, "It's still the same as always. We lack materials and equipment. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice!"

"No, maybe we can change our thinking," Zhao Gang said suddenly. "Although our arsenal can't produce cannons, we can modify grenades! If we can modify grenades to have a delayed explosion, the lethality will definitely be greatly enhanced!"

"A delayed-explosion grenade?" Li Jingrong's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Liu Yuan. "That's a good idea. What do you think?"

Liu Yuan pondered for a moment and nodded: "It's theoretically feasible, but we need to solve the problem of the fuse. Ordinary fuses are too short and the delay effect is not obvious."

"I can solve the problem with the fuse." Master Liu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Really?!" Li Jingrong looked at Master Liu in surprise, "What do you have in mind?"

Master Liu smiled mysteriously, took out a small box from his pocket, opened the box, and found some strange-shaped parts inside.

"These are the parts I removed from discarded artillery shells and tanks. After my modification, they can be made into a simple delay fuse. Although the accuracy is not high, it is enough to deal with the Japanese!" Master Liu said confidently.

"Good! Good! Good!" Li Jingrong said three good words in a row. He patted Master Liu's shoulder excitedly and said, "Master Liu, you are really our treasure!"

"Also, I recently invented a new gadget." Master Liu seemed to be in high spirits. He said mysteriously, "I assembled a simple armored vehicle using discarded tank parts. It's a bit ugly, but it's definitely useful for raiding the Japanese positions!"

"Armored vehicle?!" Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Come on, I'll take you to see it!" Master Liu said, leading the way out of the command center.

In a corner of the arsenal, an "armored vehicle" pieced together from various discarded parts was parked there quietly.

This "armored vehicle" has a strange appearance, with its body covered with rivets and welding marks, making it look like a huge iron lump.

"This... this is the armored vehicle you were talking about?" Kong Jie's eyes widened in disbelief. "Isn't this too... too ugly?"

"It's a little ugly, but it can save lives!" Master Liu said nonchalantly. "It may not look impressive, but its armor is very thick and ordinary bullets can't penetrate it. I also installed a machine gun on it, so its firepower is not weak either."

"Okay, as long as it works!" Li Jingrong nodded. He walked to the "armored vehicle" and observed it carefully.

He knew that although this "armored vehicle" was simple, it would definitely play a huge role at critical moments.

"With this batch of delayed concussion bombs and armored vehicles, we have the capital to challenge the Japanese!" Li Jingrong's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Weapons alone aren't enough. We also need to boost morale!" Zhao Gang stood up and said, "I plan to organize a 'fireside speech' at the field hospital, involving both the wounded and support personnel. I'll let them know that everyone can be a hero, even if it's just delivering a bullet!"

"Good idea!" Li Jingrong gave Zhao Gang an appreciative look. "That's it. Let's split up and try to boost the morale of the troops as quickly as possible!"

Under Zhao Gang's organization, the "fireline speech" began soon.

The field hospital was crowded with wounded soldiers and logistics personnel.

Zhao Gang stood on the makeshift podium and spoke passionately:

"Comrades, I know you are all very tired and scared now. But we cannot fall! Because behind us are our homes and our loved ones! The Japanese want to invade our land and enslave our people. We will never agree to that!"

"Everyone can be a hero. Even if we just hand over a bullet or carry a wounded soldier, we are contributing to the war of resistance! As long as we unite as one and work together, we will definitely defeat the Japanese!"

Zhao Gang's speech was full of passion and power, deeply touching everyone present.

Many lightly wounded soldiers voluntarily asked to return to the front line, and even the kitchen team joined the transport team. The morale of the entire brigade was high.

Just as the New 1st Brigade was working together to prepare for the upcoming war, the War Wolf Squad led by Zhou Weiguo, under the cover of night, quietly approached the Japanese positions.

"Captain, the Japanese supply line is ahead." Duan Peng pointed to the faint firelight ahead and said in a low voice.

Zhou Weiguo nodded, raised his telescope and carefully observed the Japanese defense line.

He found that the Japanese supply lines were very weakly defended and only a small number of soldiers were patrolling.

"It seems the Japs think this place is safe, so they've let down their guard." Zhou Weiguo sneered, "If that's the case, let's give them a surprise!"

"Action!" Zhou Weiguo gave an order, and the members of the Wolf Warrior team moved silently towards the Japanese supply line like ghosts.

Soon, the Wolf Warriors team found themselves near a Japanese ammunition depot.

Zhou Weiguo signaled the team members to get ready, and then threw a grenade.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the ammunition depot was blown to pieces and flames shot into the sky.

The Japanese soldiers suddenly became chaotic and fled in all directions.

The members of the Wolf Warrior Squad took the opportunity to rush into the Japanese positions and frantically harvested the lives of Japanese soldiers with their weapons.

After a fierce battle, the Wolf Warriors successfully destroyed the Japanese ammunition depot and captured several Japanese soldiers.

During the interrogation of the prisoners, Zhou Weiguo learned an important piece of information: the Japanese army will launch a general attack after dawn, and the target is the central line heights!

Zhou Weiguo immediately reported this information to Li Jingrong.

Li Jingrong frowned when he heard the news.

He knew that a fierce battle was about to begin.

"It seems that the Japanese are ready to go all out." Li Jingrong muttered to himself.

"Brigade Commander, what should we do?" Liu Yuan asked.

Li Jingrong took a deep breath,

"Since the Japs want to fight, we will fight them to the end! However, we can't fight them head-on. We have to find a way to lure them into our encirclement!" Li Jingrong's tone was firm and unquestionable.

He slowly walked to the map, his eyes scanning every inch of land on the map, and his mind was calculating rapidly.

Suddenly, his gaze stopped at one place, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Got it!" Li Jingrong suddenly raised his head, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.

He turned around and said to everyone, "I have a plan..."

Just as Li Jingrong was about to lay out his plan in detail, a signalman rushed in and said in a panic, "Brigade Commander! 358th Regiment... Commander Chu of the 358th Regiment, he... he..."

The signalman was interrupted by Li Jingrong's wave of his hand before he could finish his words.

Li Jingrong frowned, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"What's wrong with him?" Li Jingrong asked in a deep voice.

The signalman swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, "Captain Chu is leading his troops... to retreat... to retreat!"

The signalman's words were like a bomb, instantly detonating the silence in the command center.

Li Jingrong's face turned ashen, and a surge of anger rushed to his head.

This old guy Chu Yunfei failed at the critical moment. He is so damn unreliable!

"Damn it! What the hell is Chu Yunfei doing!" Kong Jie jumped up and cursed when he heard it, "Running away from the battlefield, what kind of hero is he!"

Li Jingrong took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and scanned everyone present with sharp eyes.

"Now is not the time to curse! Chu Yunfei is unreliable, let's do it ourselves!" His tone was firm, with an unquestionable domineering attitude.

"Order! Ding Wei, you lead the first battalion to ambush on the enemy's left wing and hit them hard! Kong Jie, you lead the second battalion to detour to the right wing and cut off the enemy's retreat! Liu Yuan, Zhao Gang, you two stay in the command center, keep abreast of battlefield dynamics, and be prepared for support!" Li Jingrong issued orders in an orderly manner, and every word was powerful.

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison and took quick action.

Li Jingrong walked to the map, his eyes sharp as torches, staring intently at the Japanese positions marked on the map.

He knew that Chu Yunfei's retreat had disrupted the original plan, but he would never give up.

"Since you want to play, I'll play big with you!" Li Jingrong curled his lips into a sneer, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

"Pass on my order, the entire brigade will shrink the defense line and deliberately show weakness to give the Japanese the illusion that our army has been defeated! Lure the enemy deep into our territory and catch them in a trap!" Li Jingrong's voice was low and powerful, with a chilling murderous aura.

The light of dawn breaks through the darkness and shines upon this war-torn land.

On the position of the New 1st Brigade, the sound of gunfire gradually became sparse, and the soldiers began to retreat in an orderly manner, abandoning some weapons and ammunition, creating a scene of defeat.

Inside the Japanese military headquarters, Jiro Yamada sat upright with a barely perceptible smugness on his face.

"Report! The Chinese army has begun to retreat, and our vanguard has broken through the enemy's defense line!" A Japanese officer reported excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Yamada Jiro curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer.

"Yoshi! It seems the Chinese army is just so-so! Order the troops to pursue them on all fronts and make sure they are wiped out!"

Following Jiro Yamada's order, the Japanese troops poured into the New 1st Brigade's position like a tide. They greedily looted the weapons and ammunition on the ground, their faces full of fanaticism and excitement.

However, they did not know that they had stepped step by step into the death trap carefully set by Li Jingrong.

"Brigade Commander, the Japanese have all entered the encirclement!" Liu Yuan's voice came from the command center with a hint of uncontrollable excitement.

Upon hearing this, Li Jingrong slowly raised his head, a bloodthirsty smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"The show...is about to begin!"
