Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 501: A Silent Slap on Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko's Face

When Zhang Dabiao heard the captain say his name, he was confused. What the hell was going on?

I, Zhang Dabiao, got lost outside Taiyuan city?

If it gets out that I, the battalion commander of the first battalion of the independent regiment, have no face left?

"Da Biao, what's wrong? Don't you want this opportunity to become famous? You know, this is a good thing that is famous in history.

Look at Shen Quan and Huai Bao, they are staring at me eagerly, but I won’t give it to them.”

Li Yunlong couldn't utter such elegant words as "leave a name in history", but his ability to deceive people was not lost at all.

The second battalion commander Shen Quan and the third battalion commander Wang Huaibao looked really uncomfortable as they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

The regiment commander is really good at fooling people. I don't want to be the lost soldier. If others write in the storybook that Li Yunlong led his troops to capture Taiyuan City, and Shen Quan/Wang Huaibao got lost during the exercise, it would be too embarrassing.

"Captain, can you please not name the missing soldier Zhang Dabiao? Anyone else will do, Wei Dayong or Sun Desheng will do. They are not here, so you can just use their names. Why do you have to use my name?"

Zhang Dabiao's face was full of helplessness. He knew that he could not defeat the captain, but he had to at least struggle a little longer.

"Da Biao, let me ask you a question. Who is the leader of the independent regiment now?"

Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao with a cigarette in his hand.

"It's you."

Zhang Dabiao answered tactfully.

"What did you say? I didn't quite hear."

Zhang Dabiao immediately understood what Li Yunlong meant, and stood up and saluted in a standard military salute: "Report, the commander of the independent regiment is Li Yunlong, and the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao has finished reporting."

Li Yunlong smiled and asked Zhang Dabiao to squat down and said, "Dabiao, that's right, follow the order."

"Let me tell you, Da Biao, if Old Yu was here, he would definitely be the one competing with you for this spot."

When the three battalion commanders heard what Li Yunlong said, they nodded hurriedly. According to Minister Yu's funny personality, he might do such a thing.

"Okay, notify Sun Desheng of the Cavalry Battalion and have them deliver a batch of ammunition to us from Ping'an County. We consumed too much ammunition in the battle against Datong and the Japanese Third Independent Mixed Brigade.

In addition, let Yang Xing from the artillery battalion arrange for a batch of anti-aircraft guns to be delivered along with these ammunitions. I am worried that the Japanese will arrange planes to bomb us by then.

Our firepower has indeed improved, but our fear of insufficient firepower is getting worse and worse."

Li Yunlong finished the remaining half of the cigarette in his hand in one gulp, threw it on the ground and sighed.

......

Taiyuan City.

At the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese North China Expeditionary Army, it was not until the news came that Datong City was captured by the Eighth Route Army that these senior Japanese commanders truly felt the terrifying combat effectiveness of the Independent Regiment.

Among them, Yoshio Shinozuka had the most profound feelings. In the beginning, it was still a little difficult for the Lijiaopo Independent Regiment to defeat a battalion. Later, he could fight against a brigade of the Locust Army without losing the upper hand. Later, he could directly defeat a Japanese brigade. Now, he can basically defeat a brigade of the Locust Army silently.

It has only been more than a year, even less than a year and a half, and the speed at which the independent regiment has developed can really be described as terrifying.

Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko remained silent for a long time as he looked at the last battle report sent by the Japanese gendarmerie stationed in Datong before they fled again. He had seen many Chinese troops with strong fighting will, but this was the first time he had seen a Chinese army with such strong combat effectiveness.

The only feeling it had now was that its swollen face was stepped on by this Chinese army, and then rubbed madly on the ground.

At this time, there was still one among these senior Japanese officers who was able to remain calm, and that was General Okamura Yasuji.

"Your Highness, the Eighth Route Army has now occupied Datong City, temporarily cutting off our main artery of communication with Hebei. This is a problem that we are all very worried about.

But there is a more pressing issue before us right now.”

Ningji Okamura reminded.

"What's the problem?" Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko put down the telegram in his hand, looked up at Okamura Neiji and said.

"Your Highness, we have to consider a risk. That is, will the Eighth Route Army troops that have captured Datong City attack Taiyuan City where we are?"

Ningji Okamura slowly expressed his concerns under the puzzled gaze of Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko.

Ok?

All the senior Japanese officers who heard what Okamura Ningji said raised their heads suddenly. They didn't know why Okamura Ningji was so worried. In their opinion, this was simply impossible.

With the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, it would take them a long time to capture the city of Datong. How could they possibly attack Taiyuan?

Is the commander of this team crazy?

"Gangcun-kun, what reason do you think this team has to attack Taiyuan?"

As soon as Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko asked this question, he regretted it. For the entire China at this moment, what reason was there for them not to attack any city occupied by the locust army?

Ningji Okamura also saw the expression of Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko. He remained silent in response to the prince's question because he knew that there was no need to answer this question.

"Mr. Gangcun, or in other words, do this team really dare to attack Taiyuan?"

Ningji Okamura didn't know how to answer this question.

Seeing that his superior was in a dilemma, Shinozuka Yoshio took over the conversation and said, "Your Highness, I have been stationed in Jin for such a long time and have fought against this team many times, so I know this team very well.

Their commander was a very imaginative person and did not fight according to any common sense.

Now they have very strong firepower support. From his perspective, I really can't imagine that he would not try to attack Taiyuan City. "

Yoshio Shinozuka had fought with the Independence Regiment too many times. He paid too much of a price when facing the Independence Regiment, and even lost half of his ear, so he did not dare to underestimate the Independence Regiment at all.

"Oh? Just a regimental-level team. No matter how strong their firepower is, would they dare to attack Taiyuan City where we have 2 to 3 soldiers stationed?" Although his subordinates spoke with certainty, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko still had doubts.

Okamura Neiji, Shinozuka Yoshio: "..."

Even after saying this, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko still doesn't believe it, so there is nothing the two of them can do.

There was a thought that was growing wildly in the depths of the hearts of Yoshio Shinozuka and Neiji Okamura: if Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko was also defeated in Taiyuan City, would the punishment they would bear be lighter?

Neiji Okamura and Yoshio Shinozuka looked at each other and saw the well-concealed madness deep in each other's eyes.

Just when the situation was becoming a little awkward, a Japanese lieutenant came into the headquarters with an urgent telegram.

"Your Highness, this is the intelligence sent by the secret agent we left in Datong City. Please take a look."

Prince Asaka Naruhiko unfolded the telegram and saw that it clearly stated: Li Yunlong's troops of the Independent Regiment had entered Datong and had exchanged positions with the 385th Brigade. Li's troops were now heading towards Taiyuan City.

Snapped.

Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko only felt that he was slapped hard on the face. Although it was silent, it was extremely loud in his heart.
