Chapter 303 Occupy Ping'an County?
Chapter 303 Occupy Ping'an County?
When Yu Ye confirmed with Li Yunlong through the telegraph operator that the gate tower of Ping'an County had been reduced to a blank slate by a bombardment, Yu Ye waved to the monk and said, "Monk, our artillery company has finished the work. Now I'm going to check the results."
"Yes, Minister."
The monk picked up his iconic Gatling machine gun and followed Yu Ye happily.
Leaving behind enough troops to protect a heavy artillery position, Yu Ye led the Liangshan Special Forces and a company of soldiers and drove a truck towards Ping'an County.
"Old Yu, look, we fought beautifully, didn't we?"
When they arrived at the foot of Ping'an County, Li Yunlong opened his arms and gave Yu Ye a big hug, the excitement on his face was beyond words.
"Old Yu, let me tell you, I was right about this little Tang. He was scolded by Yamamoto Ikki so badly that he couldn't even utter a word.
We now have capable people in our regiment!"
Li Yunlong laughed loudly and pointed at the young man named Tang who had just cursed.
"Comrade, what's your name, Tang?"
Yu Ye looked at the young man in front of him and said.
"Minister, my name is Tang Hao Ning."
"Good, good. Are you interested in coming to our Liaoyuan Arsenal?" Yu Ye said with a smile.
"Hey, hey, hey, Lao Yu, I can't tolerate you being like this."
Li Yunlong panicked all of a sudden. Damn it, Old Yu came and poached people right away. It was totally unethical of him.
Having said that, Li Yunlong quickly pulled Yu Ye to look at the craters left by the bombing of the 155 howitzers in front, as he didn't want Yu Ye to have any contact with Tang Hao Ning again.
Now ask the entire independent regiment and even the Eighth Route Army, is there anyone who doesn’t want to go to the Liaoyuan Arsenal?
Every one of them, as long as the Liaoyuan Arsenal took a fancy to them, would rush to the arsenal.
"Old Yu, Old Yu, look at the loose dust raised by the howitzer after the bombing. It must be so fine." Li Yunlong really couldn't find any good topic to talk about, so he grabbed the loose dust on the ground that was like cement caused by the bombing and started joking with Yu Ye.
Yu Ye: “…”
"Old Li, stop talking nonsense. Do you still remember what I said in the telegram? Truth is only within the range of cannons, and dignity is only on the edge of a sword."
"Remember it. I think this is very well said and very accurate. Didn't you say that?"
"No, that's not what I said. It was said by an old friend of mine, his last name is Ai. At this stage, I don't think it's necessary to say so much to the devil, just send him back home with a cannonball.
I don’t give a damn if he repents or not. If that’s the case, let him repent after seeing his grandmother.”
Yu Ye said unhappily.
"Haha, Old Yu, what you said hits the spot for me. We must send a cannonball back to them."
Yu Ye picked up a handful of loose soil and let it flow from his fingertips. Looking at the craters on the ground, he said to Lao Li meaningfully, "Lao Li, in today's chaotic world, scholars are rulers and warriors are swords.
And we as a group should be like swords with a ruler in our hearts.
We just need to pick up our swords and chop down all the enemies that stand in our way. Sooner or later, we will be able to bring peace to the world.
Of course, now we don’t need to chop with a knife, we can use artillery shells as well.”
Li Yunlong was stunned when he heard Yu Ye's words, and looked at the Taiping County City which had become a ruin, thoughtfully.
"Old Li, you said that we have now taken over Ping'an County, what are you going to do next?" Yu Ye asked casually, shaking off the loose soil in his hand.
"Aha?"
Yu Ye's question stunned Li Yunlong on the spot.
Because what Lao Li was concerned about was how to kill Yamamoto Ikki, avenge the political commissar, and retaliate against Yamamoto Ikki for blowing up the Liaoyuan Arsenal.
As for what to do after taking over Ping'an County, Li Yunlong had never really thought about it.
Because at least in Li Yunlong's impression, at least in the entire Shanxi area, up to now 40 years, all Chinese troops have only continued to lose land when facing the Japanese devils, and have never recovered a fallen county.
This is the first time!
For the Chinese army in the entire Jin area, this was an unprecedented victory.
Faced with such a great victory and such an important county, Lao Li scratched his head, not knowing what to do.
"How about we move all the devil's stuff out of the city and run away?"
Li Yunlong asked tentatively.
Yu Ye shook his head: "Old Li, have you ever thought about taking this city back completely? Making it our territory?"
"Ok?"
Li Yunlong's eyes widened instantly, it seemed that Lao Yu's proposal was very tempting.
Before, Ping'an County was like a nail driven between various bases, making everyone extremely uncomfortable. Now that it has been taken over in one fell swoop, the bases have been connected into one.
When you clench your five fingers together, they become a fist, and you can punch out with more power.
The Japanese are few in number and have now occupied large tracts of Chinese land, using core cities and transportation networks as a means of control. If they can occupy the key node of Ping'an County, the network controlled by the Japanese will inevitably become less smooth.
As one thing grows, another grows. This is a very good thing.
Li Yunlong immediately understood Yu Ye’s intention.
"only......"
"But, Old Li, you're worried that we can't defend ourselves, right?" Yu Ye said with a smile.
"Yes."
"The damn Japs can come and give it a try. We must make sure they never return!" Yu Ye's voice was very calm, but his words were full of unquestionable authority.
"By the way, Lao Li, the monument we erected earlier seemed to have been blown up by Yamamoto Ikki, right?"
"Yes."
"Hurry up and find someone else to fight with. I'm going to erect it outside of Ping'an County to prevent the Japanese from getting in. I believe that it won't be long before I erect it in the Japanese's homeland!"
Li Yunlong's eyes lit up and he felt that this was quite encouraging.
When Yu Ye first proposed to build the stone tablet, everyone agreed on the surface, but in their hearts they still felt that it was just a game.
However, as the distance to the stone tablet grew farther and farther and the scope became larger, the object that Lao Yu treated like a toy actually became quite a ritual at this time.
"Okay, I'll do it after I finish cleaning up the battlefield."
Li Yunlong nodded hurriedly.
He had a feeling that one day when the Japanese were completely wiped out, this stone tablet might become some kind of cultural relic and could be worshipped!
