Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

Chapter 20: The Scapegoat - Li Yunlong

Looking at Kong Jie who was talking eloquently.

Li Yunlong was stunned.

He suddenly felt that he didn't know Kong Jie anymore.

Is this still the old comrade Kong Erlangzi who I remember as a bit stubborn, who likes to swing a machete and threaten to chop off two fingers when he gets angry?

When did Old Kong learn this skill, and he could actually produce military equipment and even assemble cannons with his own hands?

Looking at the three artillery pieces and a 50mm mortar that were actually in front of him, although it was not a proper mortar.

A 60mm mortar.

There was also a large cylindrical cannon that was thicker than his waist - Kong Jie called it the conscienceless cannon.

Li Yunlong always felt like he was dreaming.

At this pace, in a month, let alone a platoon of artillery, Lao Kong could even build a battery of artillery by piling up these strange cannons.

When Li Yunlong thought of this, his face suddenly fell. Damn it, he was probably going to lose the bet again!

However, Kong Jie brought Li Yunlong much more surprises than that.

Two days later, Kong Jie asked Li Yunlong to attend a meeting at the regiment headquarters. It was a meeting attended by only the two of them. After all, the independent regiment currently only had the commander and deputy commander, but no political commissar!

Kong Jie didn't waste any time and got straight to the point: "I received news that there is a cavalry battalion of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the puppet army stationed in Wanjia Town. It is said that the 8th Mixed Brigade of the puppet army was originally a local security group, but later surrendered to the Japanese and became traitors.

In terms of combat effectiveness, they are not even second-rate.

Are such a group of traitors worthy of having a cavalry battalion?

It's like someone sends you a pillow when you're sleepy. This is just like fat meat delivered to your mouth. I'm planning to build a mobile force for our independent regiment!"

Ga?

As Kong Jie finished speaking, Li Yunlong's expression was extremely interesting.

The reason!

——Because Li Yunlong disobeyed orders from his superiors, he was removed from his position as the head of the New 1st Regiment and transferred to the clothing factory as the factory director.

Before leaving, Ding Wei, who took over the new regiment, promised to give Li Yunlong a cavalry battalion in order to take care of the grievances of his old comrade-in-arms. He shared with Li Yunlong the information that a cavalry battalion was stationed in the 8th Mixed Brigade of the puppet army in Wanjia Town.

Li Yunlong had been thinking about this matter all the time, and was thinking that after becoming the regiment commander, he would defeat the puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town as soon as possible.

As a result, the person who was supposed to be the group leader became the deputy group leader when he arrived at the local place.

Li Yunlong didn't think about this matter for the time being.

But in the final analysis, Li Yunlong had already regarded the Wanjia Town puppet cavalry battalion as meat on his plate.

Who would have expected that Kong Jie would suddenly set his sights on Wanjia Town.

"Lao Kong, where did you get the information?" Li Yunlong asked puzzledly.

Kong Jie smiled but said nothing. I can't tell you that I know the plot of "Drawing Sword" very well, right?

"Old Li, please don't ask me how I got the information. I'll tell you straight away. I'm going to give you the mission of attacking the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion. I'll give you a battalion of troops. Within half a day, you have to bring back the horses and equipment of these traitors!"

Li Yunlong: "..."

Well, the cavalry battalion that Lao Ding originally promised to give me has gone down the drain, and now it has fallen into Kong Jie's pocket.

Li Yunlong advised, "Old Kong, do you want to think about this again? After all, mobilizing a battalion to fight without reporting to the superiors is a serious violation of discipline!"

Kong Jie held back his laughter. How could he not know what Li Yunlong was thinking?

This kid is probably planning to take over the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion for himself!

Even if there was no order from me today.

Looking back, Li Yunlong might be able to lead his troops to defeat the puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town. Even though he was only a deputy regiment commander, he really dared to do it.

If it really comes to that, Li Yunlong will find an excuse to share the benefits with Kong Jie, such as giving him half of the cavalry battalion, and it will be difficult for Kong Jie to refuse.

So Kong Jie took the initiative to propose an attack on the puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town.

As for reporting this to my superiors...

Kong Jie had already thought of a reason: "Come on, when did you, Old Li, become a good boy?

I, Kong Jie, am a good boy. I obey the orders of my superiors without any ambiguity.

But I met you, Li Yunlong, and was led astray by you, Li Yunlong. I sent troops to attack the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion without asking for permission from my superiors. Is this understandable?"

Li Yunlong was stunned when he heard this, and then he started to curse: "So all the good things go to you, Old Kong, and I have to bear all the blame alone?"

Kong Jie laughed and said, "As the saying goes, if you have too many lice, you won't feel the itch. Old Li, this kind of thing is not a big deal to you, right?"

Li Yunlong said: "Go to hell!"

He thought about it and changed his tone: "I can't take the blame for nothing. After you defeat the cavalry battalion, you have to share the benefits with me!"

Kong Jie immediately started to argue: "Old Li, you haven't forgotten, have you? We just made a bet. If I can raise an artillery platoon within a month, you will be doing part-time work for me for free. What benefits will I give you?"

Li Yunlong: "..."

My mother...

After seeing Kong Jie rubbing the cannon with his hands like a madman, Li Yunlong really didn't have the confidence. He was sure that Kong Jie would not be able to form an artillery platoon in a month.

You can do odd jobs for others and not get paid.

I helped to defeat the cavalry battalion, but was blamed for it and got nothing in return. It was really depressing.

Li Yunlong was unhappy and kept silent.

Kong Jie consoled him, "Old Li, take a long-term view. What's so special about a cavalry battalion?

You are the deputy commander of my independent regiment, but to put it bluntly, you are just here for the formality. If you don't produce some tangible results, how can the boss find an excuse to transfer you to the position of commander?

If we can successfully capture the Wanjiazhen Cavalry Battalion, without saying anything else, it will be a military achievement!

Besides, I'm not that stingy. After all, we're old comrades. If we really take down the cavalry battalion, how can I not give you some benefits?"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Of course!" Kong Jie said without hesitation: "As long as you, Lao Li, can stop the brigade commander from extorting money, I will give you a cavalry company later."

Li Yunlong: “…………”

Old Li, who had always been fearless, fell into deep silence.

"I think I'd better just work for you, Old Kong, for free!" Li Yunlong said dejectedly.

The brigade commander called.

Open your mouth.

Congratulations on your fortune!

Then who can bear it?

Looking at Li Yunlong's expression, which was like that of a wronged young wife, Kong Jie couldn't help laughing any longer.

The two then discussed the specific details, and deputy regiment commander Li Yunlong led a battalion to advance at night and launched a surprise attack on Wanjia Town at dawn, capturing the cavalry battalion in one fell swoop.

in fact.

The Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion was not as Kong Jie and Li Yunlong said. It was not a soft persimmon that could be easily picked up and the fat meat could be eaten at any time.

——Wanjia Town is strategically located with convenient transportation, and it is adjacent to Zhengtai Road. Once the cavalry is attacked, Japanese reinforcements will arrive quickly.

One can't handle it well.

Not being able to eat mutton has caused me trouble.

This is also why the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion has not been targeted by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie until now.

It’s not that there were no Eighth Route Army commanders who had thought of this before, but they did not dare to act rashly due to the complicated enemy situation.

Therefore, this battle must be fought quickly and decisively, the Wanjiazhen Cavalry Battalion must be destroyed before the Japanese reinforcements can react, and the battalion must be withdrawn in time.

The task is arduous though.

But Kong Jie believed that Li Yunlong would be able to win this battle with his ability.

Li Yunlong felt the same emotion in his heart.

He still felt a little surprised when he led the team out:

Old Kong is really different from before. In the past, he would not have dared to mobilize a battalion to fight without asking his superiors for permission, even to kill Kong Jie.

But this time, Kong Jie's order was issued very firmly.

Even Li Yunlong had to admit that Lao Kong's order this time was manly enough.

It’s just perfect for my taste!

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem so difficult to accept temporarily serving as Lao Kong's deputy and serving as the deputy head of the group!
