Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 116 Don’t hesitate to do it. I will give up my reputation and get it for you! 3-word chapter

Yamamoto Ikki was very curious about the content of the telegram. After getting the general's consent, he picked it up and read it carefully, with a smile on his face. This was bad news for Hirata Kojiro, but good news for him. It has to be said that it is difficult for people to have the same sorrows and joys.

"General, I never thought that the Zero fighter piloted by Jiro Hirata was shot down by the Chinese army. This is really bad news. The Empire has lost another excellent pilot. I will tell his brother about this and help him take revenge on the Chinese!"

Shinozuka Yoshio wiped his glasses and warned, "Yamamoto-kun, some things can't be overdone. Just know when to stop! Doing too much will only lead to misunderstandings. Sincerity is the real killer. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yamamoto Ikki put away his thoughts, straightened his body, bowed and apologized: "General, I lost my composure just now. I understand what you mean. I will never do anything unnecessary to cause misunderstanding. Please rest assured!"

After two days of travel, Li Yunlong finally arrived at Lijiazhuang before dinner on the second day of the Lunar New Year. He was warmly welcomed by the people who stayed behind in Lijiazhuang. With the help of the folks in Duanjiazhuang, he slaughtered two big fat pigs and made dumplings, allowing the soldiers to celebrate the New Year in a lively manner.

After dinner, I worked until four in the morning of the next day before I finally organized all the supplies and put them into the warehouse.

"We should have some fun during the New Year. We have been busy all year and have no time to rest. I plan to give everyone two days off so that everyone can have a good rest!"

"Team Two will be in charge of today's duty, Team One will be in charge tomorrow, and Company One will be in charge the day after tomorrow. We will take turns. We can't take Lijiazhuang's safety lightly!"

Hearing that they would have two days of rest, the soldiers almost cheered in excitement, but fortunately Li Yunlong stopped them in time. After sending the soldiers back to sleep, Li Yunlong originally planned to have a good chat with Lin Zhenhua, but he was too tired to sleep, so he returned to his residence and fell asleep until the evening.

Li Yunlong had not eaten that day and was awakened by hunger and could not fall asleep again. He ran to the kitchen, took two steamed buns and a bowl of pork stewed with cabbage, and ate them happily.

After walking around Lijiazhuang and checking the situation of the sentry post, he secretly took out some sweet potato wine, drank half a pound of it, and then lay down on the bed and slept for the whole night. All the fatigue in his body disappeared, and he felt radiant again.

Before Li Yunlong could go find him, Lin Zhenhua came over in a hurry and said anxiously, "Captain Li, the Japanese pilot we captured before tried to escape last night, but was shot dead by the soldier on guard!"

Li Yunlong was just about to ask about the situation of the Japanese pilot, but he didn't expect that Masao Kojima was already dead. After he inquired about the situation in detail, he had to admire Masao Kojima's patience. If he hadn't set up two more secret sentries yesterday, this Japanese pilot would have been able to escape without being discovered.

"Student Lin, I've told you before that the Japanese are ungrateful wolves that can never be tamed. Even if they surrender temporarily, they will find a time to bite us hard. Now you finally understand why I don't like Japanese prisoners, right? These damn Japanese are not worth reforming at all. They are fed and watered for free, but they don't even appreciate it. I say that we shouldn't keep any Japanese prisoners, so that we don't have to worry about these damn Japanese in the future!"

This time, the incident with Masao Kojima also taught Lin Zhenhua a severe lesson. He thought he had Masao Kojima under control, but he didn't expect that Masao Kojima had been pretending to be nice and had almost found out the situation in Lijiazhuang. If he hadn't known about this from Duan Peng, he would still be complacent, not knowing that he was the fool who was fooled.

"Captain Li, this incident is a lesson for me. I must never be merciful to the Japanese!"

Seeing Lin Zhenhua's depressed mood, Li Yunlong changed the subject and said, "Student Lin, the rocket launcher you made earlier was really awesome! One salvo directly killed the Japanese artillery unit. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to attack the Zhangzhuang stronghold. You didn't even take out such a good thing and kept it hidden from me. You are such a mean boy!"

Lin Zhenhua laughed and said, "Captain Li, I really didn't mean to hide it before. I really wasn't sure about the effect before it was used. After many calculations and test firings, I felt that the effect was good, so I thought about equipping it. In addition, we don't even have a machine tool. In order to solve the problem of accuracy, I also specially polished two manual machine tools, which solved the production problem!"

"It's not an exaggeration to say that you're wronging me. You have good tools, but we can't produce many things. We have to find a way to get some machine tools and equipment. We can buy them or seize them from the devils. Without machine tools, no matter how many ideas we have, they will be useless!"

Li Yunlong secretly kept Lin Zhenhua's words in mind. He planned to go back and find Lao Zhang to see if he could get two machine tools from him. If it weren't for the lack of machine tools in the independent regiment, they would have been able to produce more artillery shells before the large-scale mopping-up operation, and the troops' losses might have been reduced.

Lin Zhenhua thought about it for a while and suggested: "Captain Li, we have to stay in Lijiazhuang for at least half a month to avoid the limelight. It's a good time to repair the guns that need to be repaired and increase the production of rockets so that we can reserve a round of rockets for salvos when we leave!"

Li Yunlong did not object to Lin Zhenhua's arrangement. Instead, he supported it and said, "Student Lin, I don't understand military affairs. I'll leave it all to you. Except for the company responsible for garrison, you can arrange all the rest, including me, Li Yunlong!"

Under Lin Zhenhua's arrangement, Lijiazhuang started a large-scale military production operation. In just half a month, it produced a total of 36 rockets, more than 100 bullets of various types, more than 20 artillery shells of various types, and submachine guns. The results were very gratifying.

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Li Yunlong called everyone to a meeting, intending to lead the team to Zhaojiayu and reorganize the team in advance to facilitate command.

"Brothers, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense, let's get down to business. After another expansion in recent days, the total number of troops has reached 608 people, reorganized into four companies. The first company is led by Zhang Dabiao, the second company is led by Wang Chengzhu, the third company is led by Lu Xiaohai, and the fourth company is led by me!"

"I have already arranged how to reorganize each company, and you can just execute it. The folks in Duanjiazhuang also plan to go with us, and I will be responsible for protecting their safety! The first company will be the vanguard, the second company will be responsible for escorting, and the third company will be responsible for covering the rear!"

"We will set off on time in two days. The dry food has been prepared and all the supplies have been reloaded. In order to avoid being discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance planes, we can only hide during the day and travel at night. We plan to reach Zhaojiayu within 20 days!"

The meeting lasted less than ten minutes and ended. Lijiazhuang became busy again. Lin Zhenhua did not attend this meeting, mainly because it was the routine system check-in today. He won a big prize and obtained the electron tube production technology. With this technology as a foundation, the radio problem that had been bothering him was solved directly.

"Haha, I have completed the puzzle of producing radio stations. I have mastered all nine production technologies. As long as I can manufacture those three types of equipment, I can start mass production of radio stations. Even the radio proximity fuse shells that I have been dreaming about can be turned from blueprints into reality!"

Lin Zhenhua immediately told Li Yunlong the good news. Li Yunlong was also very shocked and said in disbelief: "Student Lin, you are not lying to me, are you? You can really produce a radio station, and the radio proximity fuze shells we mentioned before, our independent regiment can really make them!"

Lin Zhenhua nodded and replied seriously: "Captain Li, there is no problem in theory now. As long as the equipment problem is solved within three months, I can produce these two things for you and let our independent regiment equip them!"

Li Yunlong patted Lin Zhenhua on the shoulder and said with a red face: "Student Lin, when we return to the base, you can do whatever you want. I will find a way to get it for you. Even if I have to sacrifice my reputation, I will satisfy your request!"

"And that penicillin you got earlier is really a miracle drug. None of the injured soldiers have been infected, and after so many days of rest, they have all returned to the team! I heard that you have more than 100 bottles in stock, so you have to keep them well. This is the wealth of our independent regiment. When the time comes, I will take this miracle drug to exchange for some good things from the brigade commander!"

Li Yunlong already had a plan in mind. This plan was very risky and required approval from the headquarters. He planned to go to the headquarters in person and have a good talk with the boss!

On the evening of the 22nd day of the first lunar month, everyone packed up their luggage, boarded horse-drawn carriages and trucks, left Lijiazhuang, and headed towards Zhaojiayu.

At the Xujiazhen stronghold, Colonel Yoshino worked hard for three days and finally found the No. 3 ammunition abandoned here. When General Tada Shun learned the news that the No. 3 ammunition had been found, he finally felt relieved. If the Eighth Route Army really used the No. 3 ammunition to deal with the imperial army, it would bring heavy losses to the empire.

"Yoshino, suspend the mopping-up plan and immediately deliver the No. 3 ammunition back! No. 3 ammunition is very dangerous. I have arranged for professional troops to go there. You must firmly guard the Xujia Town stronghold in the next few days and wait for the arrival of reinforcements!"

Major Noda read out the contents of the telegram. Colonel Yoshino did not dare to delay and immediately arranged for the guards of the Xujia Town stronghold to drive away all the residents in the town, even the traitors from the Maintenance Association were no exception.

"Noda, arrange the patrol team and change shifts every half an hour to ensure that there are no problems at Xujia Town. Otherwise, our Yoshino United may suffer heavy losses!"

"Hi! Colonel, go and arrange it right away!"
