Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

At 14 p.m., on the back mountain not far from Nanling Station.

Li Yunlong and his team listened to the reconnaissance platoon's findings about Nanling Station.

"Battalion Commander, the Japanese are lax at the station. There was originally a squadron of Japanese soldiers stationed at the station, but because supplies are scarce at the front and the station is on the transportation line, most of the Japanese soldiers are escorting supplies. In about three hours, two squadrons of Japanese soldiers have returned to the station by train from the front."

"Besides, there was only one Japanese squad guarding the station during these three hours. It was impossible to send troops to inspect this section of the mountain behind."

Second Company Commander Shen Quan reported the intelligence he had gathered to Li Yunlong.

"Hey, Lao Zhong, did you hear that? These little Japs are so arrogant! They thought they could reinforce each other in time on the transportation line, so they arrogantly released a squad of Japs. If I don't give these little Japs a good beating, I'll be unworthy of this opportunity God gave me."

Li Yunlong said to Zhong Zhicheng.

"Battalion Commander, there is another situation. A train arrived from Jingxing this morning. The Japanese put most of their weapons and supplies in the warehouse at the station. This may be the Japanese's weapons and ammunition transit station, where a large amount of supplies are stored." Shen Quan said excitedly.

After hearing Shen Quan's words, the people around him all showed excited expressions. After all, the Eighth Route Army was seriously short of weapons and ammunition at that time. Although the 389th Brigade was better than other brother units, it was still seriously short of weapons and equipment.

Li Yunlong's Third Battalion had only four light machine guns, no heavy machine guns, and no artillery, let alone artillery. On average, each man had less than ten rounds of ammunition. Hearing that a large amount of weapons and ammunition was stored at the station, everyone was immediately excited and looked at Li Yunlong and Zhong Zhicheng.

Although everyone wanted to attack the train station, it was not far from the front line and Jingxing. If attacked, the Japanese army could send reinforcements along the transportation line in two hours. In addition, the order from the brigade was to be on guard to prevent any sneak attacks from the Japanese in the back mountains.

So they all looked at Li Yunlong, counting on him to make the decision.

"Hehe, why are you all looking at me? I'm not a grown-up girl. You're all looking at me, really!" Li Yunlong said with a smile.

"Old Li, stop talking nonsense. We don't know you yet. You treat a piece of iron as a gold ingot and put it in your arms. There is a gold ingot in front of you. You kid can behave well." Deputy Battalion Commander Yang Guilin said.

"That's right, Old Li, you are acting like a big shot. Normally, I would have to stop you. But this time, the brigade commander has spoken in person, so why are you acting like a good boy?" Deputy instructor Qiu Jiayuan said to Li Yunlong with a smile.

"Haha, what are you doing? What are you doing? Why are you all attacking me?" Li Yunlong said with his eyes wide open.

"Hehe, but then again, I completely understand why the brigade commander asked me to come here. Why didn't he give me specific orders to carry out, and let me wait for the right opportunity? Haha, I deserve to get rich today."

After that, he began to arrange the combat mission. He told Shen Quan to lead the troops and wait for the Japanese train carrying supplies to leave, then blow up the tracks on both sides. At the same time, after dark, he would lead the reconnaissance platoon to sneak into the station, kill the Japanese sentries with cold weapons, cut off the Japanese communication lines, and then the others would catch the Japanese in a trap.

After finishing the task, Li Yunlong led the Third Battalion to move quietly to a forest next to the train station and wait for dark.

20 o'clock.

The Japanese were also careless and did not take any action on the surrounding area. Half an hour after the supplies were escorted, the reconnaissance platoon began to cut the barbed wire and sneaked into the Japanese outpost.

At this time, two Japanese soldiers in the outpost were wandering aimlessly on both sides. A soldier from the reconnaissance platoon happened to approach, covered the mouth of a sentry, and stabbed the Japanese soldier's heart with a bayonet, killing him directly.

When another Japanese soldier heard the noise, he looked back and was about to raise his rifle to shoot a warning shot when another soldier came up behind him, quickly approached, covered his mouth, and slit his throat.

After clearing out the Japanese soldiers at the outpost, the entire army quietly moved to the Japanese soldiers' duty rooms and dormitories. The soldiers threw grenades into the Japanese soldiers' dormitories. As deafening explosions rang out, thick smoke filled the air.

Seizing this opportunity, soldiers armed with light machine guns rushed into the house like tigers descending from the mountains, unleashing a fierce barrage of fire on the Japanese who hadn't reacted. For a moment, flames shot up into the sky, bullets rained down, and wailing echoed. However, after a fierce battle, they successfully captured the Japanese Nanling Station without any casualties.

"Hurry, hurry. We only have three hours to move the supplies." Li Yunlong said hurriedly.

No one knew when the Japanese reinforcements would arrive, but no matter what, everyone knew they had to race against time to complete the seizure and sorting of supplies, preferring to blow up the ship rather than leave a single bullet for the enemy. So, everyone worked with all their might, racing against time...

After saying that, Li Yunlong led his men to the Japanese warehouse. When the soldiers pried open the door of the warehouse, the scenes that came into their eyes stunned them.

There were rows of mortars and various large-caliber mountain cannons in the warehouse. There were all kinds of calibers, and there were probably more than 30 of them, and behind them were boxes of artillery shells.

"Oh my God, I'm rich. Hahaha." Li Yunlong shouted happily.

"Hurry, move them quickly. Leave the heavy ones behind and take the light ones. We'll blow up the rest later. Don't leave them for the Japs!"

At this time, Zhong Zhicheng, who was working as a porter in another warehouse, also hurried to Li Yunlong's side.

"Old Li, the other warehouse has a large number of guns, light and heavy machine guns, and ammunition. I think it's enough equipment for an entire brigade. Oh my god, Old Li, we're going to make a killing this time."

"How are we going to transport all this equipment, along with 10 radios, various medical supplies, food, cloth, and canned goods?"

Zhong Zhicheng said hurriedly, his face showing a very anxious expression. After all, if all these supplies were shipped back, they could directly support the entire 389th Brigade to be replaced with a Japanese-equipped brigade.

"It's too late, Lao Zhong. If we notify the brigade commander now, it will take three hours for them to arrive. In three hours, the enemy reinforcements will arrive soon. We can only rush to take the medicine, heavy weapons and ammunition. The rest, including the station, will be blown up by the Japanese. Don't leave a single hair for the Japanese."

Li Yunlong said painfully, after all, he was a man used to being poor, and suddenly he got so many weapons and ammunition, but he couldn't take them away. It was more painful than killing him.

As for blocking the enemy to delay time, Lao Li had also thought about it, but when he thought about the fact that a brigade's supplies were placed in a station, it would be like stirring up a hornet's nest of the Japanese. God knows how many reinforcements there are. It is true that Li Yunlong is afraid of being poor, but he also knows what is important and what is not. He knows that the most important thing at the moment is to take the supplies and evacuate before the arrival of the Japanese army. At the same time, he sent a communicator to Changshengkou to tell the brigade commander about their situation.

Li Yunlong is also in a state of panic now. After all, there is almost a brigade's worth of supplies and equipment stored in a train station, and it is guarded by only a small Japanese squad. Such an outrageous thing is really like wiping your butt with sandpaper. It really shows Li Yunlong's skills.

"Battalion Commander, Battalion Commander!" Second Company Commander Shen Quan ran to Li Yunlong excitedly.

"Battalion Commander, we found the Japanese army horses in the yard not far from the train station. There are more than 500 of them in total. We have made a fortune!" Shen Quan said excitedly.

"What! Damn Shen Quan, you know if you lie to me, is it true or not?"

"It's right behind. Come with me and see."

"What are you waiting for? Lead the way." After saying that, Li Yunlong followed Shen Quan to the inconspicuous stable.

Sure enough, when Li Yunlong saw the war horses in the stable, he couldn't take his eyes off them.

"Hahaha, God has eyes. I, Li Yunlong, deserve to be rich today. Even if the brigade commander robs me, I can still take over the entire cavalry company and artillery company. Hahaha, I'm rich."

Li Yunlong danced with joy.

"Shen Quan, hurry up and get the horses and the people out. Be careful not to hurt my horse."

"Take the horses to the warehouse and have the horses carry the guns and light machine gun shells. Each person will carry a piece of the guns, plus the heavy machine guns. With more than 700 of us, it's enough to transport them all."

"Haha, even if the brigade commander comes, he still has to treat me to a drink today!"

After saying that, he quickly arranged for people to dismantle the parts and transport them as soon as possible. He piled up the unimportant and remaining guns and ammunition together with the train station and blew up the whole place, sending flames shooting into the sky.

Then disappeared into the back mountain.

Three hours later, the Japanese squadron that was returning from transporting supplies discovered that the railway had been bombed. They suddenly felt a chill on their scalps and quickly led their men to run towards the train station.

When the Japanese squadron leader led his men to the train station, he found it engulfed in flames and littered with debris. His expression suddenly changed, knowing that he had gotten into a big disaster and was doomed.
