Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

"Captain, why are you here?"

On the mountainside, Lin Qiang met the regiment commander Li Yunlong who was climbing the mountain. Just like the last time they met, he was still wearing the slightly blackened military uniform.

"Why did I come here?"

Li Yunlong didn't look at him kindly, but Lin Qiang knew the captain wasn't really angry, but rather, he was feeling resentful...

Just like a grudge woman...

"Captain, I really don't know that."

Even if you know, you have to say you don't know. What's more, Lin Qiang really doesn't know why the regiment commander Li Yunlong came.

"Captain, let's not talk here. Let's go up first."

Lin Qiang has always had a heart of respect and gratitude towards the revolutionary predecessors, especially after traveling through time, he realized how difficult it was for the predecessors back then.

Sacrifice your life and shed your blood!

The happy and safe life of future generations is all earned by our ancestors who charged forward time and time again.

When the group arrived at the base, there was no reception room, so they could only use the kitchen as a temporary reception room.

"Captain, come here and take this."

Lin Qiang took out a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches and put them on the table, smiling, "Authentic Lao Dao brand, captured during the last ambush."

Li Yunlong glanced at Lin Qiang sternly, reaching for a cigarette and saying, "You have some good cigarettes, but why don't you send some to the regiment headquarters?"

He knew that Li Yunlong was not here to call for punishment, and Lin Qiang was also an old revolutionary who had fought the Japanese with Li Yunlong in many places.

Although their relationship is not as good as that between Zhang Dabiao and Li Yunlong, it is not much worse.

Besides, if you have something good in your hands, you will have the confidence to speak with confidence.

Lin Qiangda sat down carefree and said, "Captain, you're a bit greedy. I sent you so much good wine last time, and you're still thinking about the one or two packs of cigarettes in my hand?"

"Hey, kid, you're getting bolder and bolder!"

Li Yunlong was busy as he spoke. After lighting a cigarette, he put the matches into his pocket and said, "You dare to take the blame for me? I'm lucky I didn't hold you accountable for this. What's wrong with smoking a few of your cigarettes?"

Hey?

How come these two words have such a vivid image?

"Nothing, nothing."

Lin Qiang poured a cup of tea and brought it to Li Yunlong, then asked tentatively, "Captain, are you here to inspect the team's development or to provide guidance?"

Anyway, Li Yunlong will definitely not go back empty-handed this time, this is the truth.

He is the regiment commander, so it is normal for him to bring a guard platoon with him when he leaves the regiment headquarters.

But it is very abnormal for the guard platoon to pull a donkey cart!

Li Yunlong took a sip of tea, smacked his lips, and said, "What else could it be? The brigade commander called me and said that you ambushed the Japanese who attacked Yang Village and seized a lot of submachine guns."

After hearing this, Lin Qiang knew what was going on.

The brigade commander must have made the call, but he definitely did not tell Li Yunlong about this matter. Instead, he believed that Li Yunlong was the one who did it.

Lin Qiang could even guess what the brigade commander said on the phone.

Li Yunlong, congratulations on your wealth!

Li Yunlong would definitely answer: What kind of wealth did I make? I’m so poor that I almost have to beg for food.

I guess the main purpose of coming this time is not to get this batch of submachine guns.

Even if we take them all back, it would only be enough to equip the guard platoon.

"Captain, are you here to rob?"

Lin Qiang did not intend to deny this matter. After all, if Li Yunlong was not sure, he would not have come to the base in person.

Li Yunlong exhaled a puff of white mist, blew his nose, and glared at you, saying, "What are you talking about? What do you mean I'm here to rob you? I'm the head of the independent regiment after all. Do I need to rob you?"

But then his expression changed and he said with a smile: "But this time I came here because I wanted to borrow something from you."

Lin Qiang was about to open his mouth when Li Yunlong interrupted him with a hand: "I know what you're going to say, kid. Don't think I don't know the current situation of your platoon. Even those firepower points on the road are equipped with Type 99 rifles. You're more powerful than me!"

Looking along the way, Li Yunlong was shocked to find that the defense of Heiyun Village was even stronger than that of his independent regiment headquarters.

Not to mention that Lin Qiang was the soldier he brought with him, there must be some undetectable firepower points deployed in secret.

"Tell me the truth, kid. How many people are there in your platoon now?"

Hearing Li Yunlong's question, Lin Qiang didn't intend to hide it and said truthfully: "Not many, just under 2,000 people."

"what!"

Li Yunlong slammed his hand on the table and stood up immediately: "You, a platoon, have disrupted a team of nearly 2,000 people!!!"

It's really a fucking ghost!

It is not difficult to form a team, but the difficult part is how to maintain it.

We can ignore the military pay, but with so many mouths to feed in the army, we have to solve the problem of food, right?

It's impossible that during a war, everyone has to dig some grass roots from the ground to satisfy their hunger.

After the battle, we have to dig some wild vegetables and bring them back to prepare for the next meal, right?

The most difficult problem to solve is the problem of weapons and ammunition.

Without enough weapons and ammunition, no matter how many people go to the battlefield, they will all die.

So Li Yunlong was not very surprised by the number, but was surprised that Lin Qiang could afford it.

"I just looked around and saw that there are still quite a few civilians in this base. How many are there?"

Lin Qiang thought about it carefully and replied, "Total, there should be about three to five hundred people."

"Be good!"

Li Yunlong was completely shocked and said, "Since you are like a wealthy landlord, I will let you have it!"

"Don't look at me like that. I've taken the blame for you twice, so what's wrong with me asking for some compensation?"

"I don't ask for much. Ten light machine guns, a Pheasant Neck is enough. Mortars would be even better, and some ammunition, too. How about that? Isn't that enough?"

Lin Qiang nodded and said, "Enough!"

Otherwise, you are Li Yunlong!

Those who knew that they were here to get supplies thought that they were here to deliver them.

For some reason, after saying these words, Li Yunlong just finished smoking a cigarette in silence.

After a long while, Li Yunlong lit another cigarette, sighed, and said, "If you continue like this, it will be impossible for you to return to the Independent Regiment."

Li Yunlong suddenly looked at Lin Qiang and asked, "If I ask you to go back to the regiment headquarters now, you will definitely not be happy, right?"

To answer this question, Lin Qiang can have many answers.

But he would only choose the most honest answer: "To be honest, I really am not happy about it."

"No matter how the team develops, I am still a soldier of our independent regiment, and I am still a soldier of your commander Li Yunlong. But you want me to withdraw to the regiment headquarters? I really don't want to do that."

"Captain, for the sake of the people in the base, even if you give the order yourself, I'm afraid I will disobey."

Hu Zi and Qiang Zi were frightened when they heard this, fearing that the regiment commander Li Yunlong would suddenly get angry.

If it were anyone else, the two would attack without hesitation, but this was the leader, and even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to attack the leader!

Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong was not angry at all. Instead, he burst into laughter: "Haha, you are worthy of being the soldiers led by me, Li Yunlong!"

"Your temper is exactly what I like. Those guys who are obedient are actually not interesting at all."

"You're capable of leading such a team. It also proves that our soldiers, Lao Li, will at least be company or platoon leaders in any unit after leaving our independent regiment."

Li Yunlong threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out. With a complicated expression, he said to Lin Qiang, "You kid, you will set up your own business sooner or later."

"In that case, I won't be polite with you this time. I'll double what I just said. Is that okay?"

"If you bring me another mountain cannon, I'll report it to the brigade commander in person when I get back!"

Lin Qiang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he asked, "Captain, what if I get you a howitzer?"

"If you really have that ability, I, Li Yunlong, promise you!"

Li Yunlong patted his chest and said, "When your battalion commander sees you, he will have to salute you and say hello to you, Commander Lin!"
