Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

(This is chapter 336, there was an error in posting, sorry!!!)

The independent camp has a lot of supplies, and they can’t reproduce if they stay.

As long as the brother troops need help, Lin Qiang will provide support without hesitation.

But Li Yunlong's independent regiment had no shortage of supplies, and he just didn't want to come empty-handed and leave empty-handed.

Commonly known as a money-grubber.

"Captain, I don't need any help. I'm afraid it would be a problem if the independent group didn't have you to lead it."

Lin Qiang said, "I think you should take the supplies and go back quickly."

Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong sat down on the stool and crossed his legs: "Hehe, the independent regiment has the support of Political Commissar Zhao, so I feel much more relaxed."

"You don't know yet, kid? Political Commissar Zhao's ability to lead troops is not much worse than mine, Li Yunlong."

Lin Qiang was very shocked.

Li Yunlong was very arrogant. The 772nd Regiment was the main force, but even so, Li Yunlong looked down on the commander of the 772nd Regiment.

To be praised so highly by Li Yunlong, Political Commissar Zhao must have outstanding abilities.

Otherwise, with Li Yunlong's personality, he would never be a hands-off boss.

"Then, Captain, what do you mean?"

Li Yunlong started calculating: "I'm very familiar with your battle situation this time. You must have captured quite a lot of supplies, right?"

"Also, according to intelligence, the supplies the Japanese are transporting to the train station are for the tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers in Laiyuan County. Your independent battalion only has over 30,000 soldiers. Can you handle that?"

"I don't ask for much. Just give me 50% of the supplies at the train station."

Lin Qiang refused without hesitation: "That's impossible."

Little did he know that it was precisely because of this rejection that a 50-50 split with Lin Qiang became Li Yunlong's biggest dream.

"Sixty percent? Captain, your appetite is too big, isn't it?"

Lin Qiang acted like a miser: "Even if the people in the base area eat and drink your food, the food and supplies we sent last time haven't been consumed yet, right?"

"You don't even peel pig skin like that. Do you really think robbing the Japanese train station is a joke?"

Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong asked back: "Isn't it true for you?"

Without giving Lin Qiang a chance to refute, Li Yunlong continued, "Don't think I don't know. You took over the Japanese train station without firing a single shot."

"Lin Qiang, you're considered a veteran, so why is your ideological awareness still so low? Can't you improve it a little?"

"A unique flower..."

"Stop!"

Lin Qiang interrupted, "Captain, you must be saying that a single flower doesn't make spring; a hundred flowers in full bloom make a garden full of spring. No matter how powerful the independent battalion is, it's still just a sheep. It can't drive away the Japanese. We need to improve the combat effectiveness of all combat teams in order to liberate the country."

Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

These were the words that Political Commissar Zhao Gang said to the commander of the 771st Regiment when he came to borrow supplies.

If it weren't for this sentence, Li Yunlong would never lend the supplies.

Who doesn’t know the situation of the 386th Brigade?

The materials loaned out are like throwing meat buns at a dog or a chicken paying New Year's greetings to a weasel.

"Four percent!"

Li Yunlong came back to his senses and held up four fingers, saying, "Forty percent is fine, right?"

"Twenty percent!"

"Thirty percent!"

"Twenty percent!"

Lin Qiang was very resolute. It wasn't that he was greedy for supplies, but he couldn't give all of them to the Independent Regiment. He had to give them to the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments as well. The Brigade Headquarters also had to give them to the other units, and the Brigade Commander would allocate them to them.

"Captain, that's 20%."

Lin Qiang said, "If you don't want it, I'll send it to the brigade headquarters, and you can ask the brigade commander for it later."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately lost his temper: "No, no, no, 20%, 20%."

If it is really sent to the brigade headquarters, let alone 20%, given the current situation of the independent regiment, I am afraid that even 10% will not be distributed.

Twenty percent has already been earned.

Li Yunlong still felt a little regretful, it would be better if it could be a 50-50 split.

The matter was settled.

It was then that Lin Qiang asked about the situation in the Ping'an direction: "Commander, you just said that it was the First Battalion that blocked the Japs from the Ping'an direction for me. What do you mean?"

Li Yunlong took a sip of water. He had rushed all the way here, and coupled with the argument with Lin Qiang just now, his mouth was dry.

"The situation was this: we were fighting the Japanese in Ping'an, but suddenly they withdrew. The political commissar thought they were up to something, so he sent someone to investigate."

Li Yunlong looked at Lin Qiang and said, "You are such a troublemaker! The Japanese in Ping'an are going to reinforce us at all costs. The First Battalion has been ordered to stop them."

"After the battle, the first battalion's combat personnel were reduced by half, and their old resources were almost exhausted. The battalion commander, Zhang Dabiao, was bitten by a Type 38 rifle."

Lin Qiang asked, "How is Battalion Commander Zhang?"

"The Japanese's Type 38 rifle had strong penetrating power. The bullet passed through his calf, leaving a penetrating wound without leaving any bullet."

Hearing this, Lin Qiang finally felt relieved.

But 20% of the supplies is 20%, and Lin Qiang will not give 10% more because of this matter.

Li Yunlong looks very rude, but he can make a name for himself in northwest Shanxi. How could he really be a rude person?

"You're going to face eighty to ninety thousand devils. The boss said it himself: whether we can win this battle depends on whether you can withstand the pressure."

Li Yunlong said with some concern: "You have provided us with all the ammunition and artillery shells. Can we still hold out on the front battlefield?"

Lin Qiang put away his smile and said firmly, "Don't worry about this. As long as I'm not dead, the independent battalion won't let a single Japanese soldier pass."

"I can't lose, and neither can the Independent Battalion. The safety of thousands of civilians is at stake, and thousands of eyes are watching the Independent Battalion."

The more this happened, the more Li Yunlong could feel how much pressure Lin Qiang was under.

"How about I transfer two battalions?"

"Need not."

Lin Qiang waved his hand and said, "I still have a 10,000-man army that hasn't joined the battle yet."

In fact, what Lin Qiang wanted to say more was that when friendly reinforcements were really needed, the two battalions that came would just be cannon fodder.

Li Yunlong said no more.

He is an old revolutionary and knows what is going on in this situation.

"Okay, since you are so confident, I will go back to my independent regiment."

Li Yunlong looked at Lin Qiang and said, "You are the treasure of our brigade. Remember this: if you have green mountains, you will never run out of firewood."

"Don't worry, Captain."

Lin Qiang had a smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart: All the green mountains have been taken away by the Japanese, where can I go to chop firewood?

Li Yunlong left the independent camp base with two trucks of supplies. Before leaving, he seemed to want to say something to Lin Qiang.

But when he saw Lin Qiang deploying defenses, he gave up the idea.

In the car, Li Yunlong was smoking a cigarette, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

From time to time, I looked back in the direction of the independent camp, not knowing when we would meet again.

Because he knew very well that since the headquarters dared to fight, they must have a plan to win.

The battle in northwestern Shanxi was over, and there were still battles in central Shanxi, southern Shanxi, and even the whole country.

The Anti-Japanese War is over, but there will be other battles to fight.

The team will be randomly transferred to other places, and the chance of meeting again in the future is very slim.

Li Yunlong is not a sentimental man. He likes to keep his emotions in his heart and not show them on the surface.
