Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

Deputy Head Xing's face turned stern, and he immediately stood at attention and responded: "Yes, sir."

In an instant, the entire independent regiment began to operate intensively.

Li Yunlong returned to the house and walked to Zhao Gang's side.

He said, "Old Zhao, don't be sad. The dead cannot be brought back to life. What we can do now is to seek justice for them."

Zhao Gang finally spoke.

"Old Li, the more than 300 villagers of Zhaojiayu! They were still standing in front of me the day before yesterday, but now they are gone. They died so tragically, being burned alive. These devilish enemy troops were so cruel. It's all my fault!"

Zhao Gang's voice was trembling as he finished speaking.

Li Yunlong said: "What can we do? This is war! The enemy is inhumane and does not abide by the laws of war. They dare to put the butcher's knife on the heads of our people. I, Li Yunlong, will never let them go."

Zhao Gang looked up at Li Yunlong and said with a wry smile, "Old Li, I won't stop you this time. I support you no matter what you do. If the time comes when you are questioned, we will shoulder the responsibility together!"

As the political commissar, he should have dissuaded Li Yunlong at this moment, but this time, Zhao Gang really couldn't speak.

If he opened his mouth, he was afraid that the more than 300 wronged souls of Zhaojiayu would come to him in his dreams.

Li Yunlong said: "You are worthy of being my good political commissar. Your temper is just what I like. This time we are like the heroes of Liangshan. We will avenge our grievances and have a good time!"

Zhao Gang asked: "Did you send anyone to recall that young man?"

Li Yunlong shook his head slightly and whispered, "Forget it. The brigade commander has already set foot in that mysterious place. We should not alarm him about this matter. Otherwise, our journey of revenge may be difficult to continue."

Zhao Gang patted his chest and lamented, "Why didn't this rascal tell us everything? He just said that he would be recalled when the commander got married. Who could have expected such a change?"

Li Yunlong consoled him: "Political Commissar, you can't blame him for this. He is not a wizard who can predict the future. If he knew, he would have returned to the team immediately."

Zhao Gang sighed: "But I still feel mixed emotions!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder, and the two sat opposite each other again, falling into deep thought.

At noon, the soldiers of Duli's regiment returned one after another.

This time, there was no spectacular spectacle of Italian cannons.

Today, the Dule Regiment has two Italian magic cannons, but they dare not show off easily.

Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, Cao Huaibao and others all returned.

As soon as they arrived, they reported to Deputy Commander Xing and gave a brief report on the troops and weapons they brought back.

This is the rule. If you don’t understand your own team and don’t know the soldiers and weapons, how can you talk about winning the battle?

Deputy Head Xing examined the report and was amazed!

There were more than 10,000 soldiers.

At this moment, let alone capturing the small city of Ping'an, even the city of Taiyuan was under their control.

Deputy Head Xing, holding the report, led everyone to Li Yunlong.

More than twenty company and battalion commanders stood in front of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang and saluted.

"Commander, Political Commissar, we are back. Please instruct us on the combat mission."

Li Yunlong looked at everyone and asked, "Tell me, how many soldiers did you bring back for me?"

Deputy Commander Xing stepped forward and said with a smile, "Haha, Lao Li, you are about to become the commander of a division, and a reinforced division. Look, there are more than 15,000 people."

Well, this is the wings of destiny brought by the time traveler.

With these wings, Shen Quan, Cao Huaibao and others were not only safe, but their military strength doubled.

After all, Cao Geng had assembled 3,000 elite soldiers in one company. How could they not expand their army with all their strength since they were so rich and had powerful soldiers?

"it is good……"

Li Yunlong responded excitedly: "Thank you very much! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to lead a large army in battle!"

After saying this, Li Yunlong bowed deeply to them to express his gratitude.

Zhang Dabiao stepped forward and said, "Captain, you don't have to be polite. Just assign the mission! Where are we going to attack?"

Li Yunlong walked to the map and pointed at Ping'an City: "Here, attack Ping'an City."

Hearing this, everyone's blood boiled.

Shen Quan responded loudly: "Okay, Captain, give the order! We will definitely take over Ping An City and rescue my sister-in-law."

Deputy Commander Xing quickly corrected him: "Fighting the Japanese and the enemy is fighting the enemy, how can it be said to save my sister-in-law? Be careful with what you say!"

Shen Quan's face darkened, and he realized that this was a question of political stance, and it really couldn't be said lightly. Otherwise, there would be trouble later...

Li Yunlong's eyes sparkled as he growled, "Nonsense. How could I shrink from the dog demon invaders? My target is Ping'an Ancient City. Rescue your brothers and sisters and avenge the more than 300 undead souls of Zhaojiayu."

"The evil demon Yamamoto Ikki raided the headquarters of my independent army, kidnapped my brother and sister-in-law, and massacred more than 300 of our Zhaojiayu compatriots with flames. He thought he could be safe by hiding in the ancient city of Ping'an? He must be dreaming."

"Even if he ascends to heaven, I will definitely bring him down. Even if he escapes back to Taiyuan City, I will kill him. Otherwise, our independent army will not be able to give an explanation to the dead souls of Zhaojiayu."

Deputy Captain Xing fell silent immediately, showing that Li Yunlong had made up his mind and to anger him at this moment would be tantamount to seeking death.

"That's right. Attack Ping'an Ancient City, rescue my brother and sister-in-law, and avenge the more than 300 heroes of Zhaojiayu."

Zhang Dabiao and others responded in unison.

Li Yunlong responded: "Very good, next we will arrange the tactics. The artillery battalion will prepare to bombard the positions from the reverse slope. Blast open the city gates and destroy the city walls!"

"The rest of the infantry troops are on standby. Once the city wall collapses, immediately charge in and capture that evil monster, Yamamoto Ikki. I'm going to cut off his head and feed it to the hellhounds..."

In the Heian Ancient Castle, Yamamoto Ikki is communicating with Shinozuka Yoshio through a magic communication spell.

At this moment, Yamamoto Ikki had been criticized to pieces.

Yoshio Shinozuka was furious and sent you to capture Li Yunlong, but you brought back a woman. Can the woman be exchanged for Cao Geng's soul?

As a result, the operation was undoubtedly a failure.

Yamamoto Ikki was severely condemned and felt heartbroken, and almost fell into self-isolation.

Yamamoto Ikki's eyes were red. I have tried my best. Is there anything else I can do?

That damn Li Yunlong is extremely cunning.

On the wedding night, he did not enter the bridal chamber but wandered outside instead.

What can I do? I am also very disappointed!

At this time, a lieutenant colonel entered his temporary command room and saluted: "Your Excellency, a large number of the Eighth Route Army and various armed forces have appeared around our Ping'an Ancient City, surrounding the city tightly. It seems that they are about to launch an attack!"

"How is it possible, attack?"

Yamamoto Ikki was shocked when he heard this.

Are these Eighth Route Army troops strong enough to attack the city?

In this world, Yamamoto Ikki did not look down on the Eighth Route Army as he did in the original story.

"Come on, take me to see it."

Soon, Yamamoto Ikki climbed up the city wall and looked into the distance.

God!

Everywhere you look, you can see the Eighth Route Army, who are making intensive preparations.

There is no doubt that they were indeed planning a siege.

"Damn it, where did these Eighth Route Army soldiers come from, and why are there so many of them?"

That’s right, Yamamoto Ikki was shocked.

With so many Eighth Route Army soldiers, unless he knew how to walk on the ground, it would be difficult for him to escape even if he grew wings.

The major hurriedly reported: "Colonel, it should be Li Yunlong's subordinates. His newlywed wife was captured. If he does not come to rescue, then Li Yunlong must be the one who got captured."

Yamamoto Ikki whispered in astonishment: "It's incredible, how can Li Yunlong control so many military forces?"

The young officer responded: "Sir, even if these people are not directly under Li Yunlong's command, they are also the forces he relies on. There is no doubt that the goal is to rescue that woman."

"Hi……"

Yamamoto Ikki felt relieved after hearing this.

To mobilize such a large force for a woman, she must be very important in Li Yunlong's heart.

Yamamoto Ikki smiled.

Seeing this, the young officer suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

"Sir, we must prepare as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be able to resist Li Yunlong's attack with only the few troops in the city."

Indeed, there was only one battalion of his in Ping'an City, and together with the puppet troops, there were no more than about two thousand people.

And those puppet troops were good at nothing except dragging their feet. How could they resist the nearly 20,000 troops outside the city?

Yamamoto Ikki said calmly: "Major Tanaka, don't worry, we will go back and find a solution."

The two then led the crowd back to the office.

Yamamoto Ikki sent a secret letter to Yoshio Shinozuka, who was far away, detailing the current situation.

Just as in the ancient legends.

Yoshio Shinozuka responded quickly, asking him to hold on for the time being, and he would gather reinforcements from various strongholds.

Yamamoto Kazuki then discussed countermeasures with Shinozuka Yoshio and received his full support.

Finally, Yamamoto Ikki put down his work and ordered the soldiers outside: "Go find Zhu Ziming."

In this world, Zhu Ziming is still alive.

Soon, Zhu Ziming was summoned.

"Sir, what do you want to call me for?"

"Hi……"

Yamamoto Ikki asked: "Mr. Zhu Ziming, I want to ask one thing. Is there a person named Cao Geng in your independent regiment?"

After translation, Zhu Ziming understood Yamamoto Ikki's intention.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziming immediately nodded and replied, "Yes, there is such a person. He is the deputy squad leader of our kitchen squad and is now a company-level officer. Your Excellency, why are you asking this?"

"Mr. Zhu Ziming, what is your relationship with this Cao Geng?"

Zhu Ziming replied with gritted teeth: "Sir, to be honest, this man has insulted and beaten me many times, and there is a deep hatred between him and me."

"Hey... Mr. Zhu Ziming is indeed a loyal ally of the Imperial Army. Can you tell me where Cao Geng is now?"

Zhu Ziming said hurriedly: "If nothing unexpected happens, he should be stationed in Da Caozhuang at this moment. The headquarters of our 386th Brigade has also moved there."

"Is the headquarters there too?"

Yamamoto Ikki walked quickly towards the map to check it.

Soon, he marked the location of Da Caozhuang on the map.

"Hi……"

Yamamoto Kazuki stared at the map for a long time.

Then he asked, "Mr. Zhu Ziming, do you know how many troops are stationed in Da Caozhuang?"

Zhu Ziming replied: "Not many, only the brigade's garrison company and Cao Geng's cooking squad. By the way, his cooking squad is also a company-level organization, with about a hundred people."

"Very good, Mr. Zhu Ziming, do you have enough courage to guarantee that your words are correct?"

Zhu Ziming was furious, but he remained calm on the surface and replied, "Colonel, do you think I still have the guts to deceive you at this moment?"

Indeed, Zhu Ziming is now closely tied to the fate of Yamamoto Ikki. How dare he betray easily?

"Very good. If what you said is true, I will apply to the commander-in-chief for a special honor for you."

After saying this, Yamamoto Ikki walked to the mysterious teleportation array and continued to communicate with Shinozuka Yoshio through this strange means of communication.

This time, he had an additional strategy, just like the ancient tactic - besiege Wei to save Zhao.

If you attack my Ping'an City, I will attack your Da Caozhuang. How can you respond, Li Yunlong?

Yamamoto Ikki's plan went far beyond this. He intended to tie down Li Yunlong and give Shinozuka Yoshio a chance to capture Cao Geng and the brigade commander and resolve the predicament in one fell swoop.

It must be said that the success rate of this plan is quite impressive. Once Li Yunlong starts the war, Japanese reinforcements will quickly intervene.

Once the reinforcements arrived, Chu Yunfei, the New 1st Regiment, the New 2nd Regiment, and the 722nd Regiment would all be tied down. No one could have expected that the Taikoo League would penetrate Ding Wei's defense line and head straight for Ping'an City, disguised as reinforcements.

At that time, Ding Wei would definitely try to intercept him, and Yamamoto would leave a team of troops to deal with him. The rest of the troops would go around and raid Da Caozhuang, catching everyone off guard. By then, even if they wanted to rescue him, it would be too late.

After sending the mysterious message, Yamamoto Ikki nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good... someone, bring Li Yunlong's woman here."

In a flash, Yamamoto Ikki stood on the city wall, and was brought along with him were Yang Xiuqin and Zhu Ziming.

He ordered Zhu Ziming: "You, pick up the loudspeaker and announce to the outside of the city, asking Li Yunlong to come out."

After listening to the translation, Zhu Ziming's pupils suddenly dilated. This cunning Yamamoto Ikki wanted to kill him!

But at this moment, everything is insignificant. He, Zhu Ziming, can no longer turn back.

Following Yamamoto's instructions, Zhu Ziming held a megaphone and shouted loudly outside the city:

"Captain Li, Captain Li, look who is that person on the tower?"

"Captain Li, come out and take a look at the man on the tower!"

Soon, Li Yunlong appeared outside the city gate. When he saw the people on the city wall, his eyes instantly turned red.
