Bright Sword: We Li Yunlong are fighting elites

Chapter 214 Brother Chu, congratulations on your fortune!

Hirata Kenkichi's telegram was sent to the Devil Command in Beiping. After reading the telegram, Kasahara Yukio quickly found Tada Jun.

"Your Excellency, Commander, Commander Hirata's telegram!"

Tada Jun sighed helplessly, as if he had expected the result, and asked casually, "What's the content?"

Kasahara Yukio replied: "The 37th Division attacked Ping'an County with all its strength and suffered heavy losses. It still failed to capture Ping'an County. Now more than half of the troops have been lost, their combat effectiveness has been seriously damaged, and their morale is low and supplies are scarce. They are no longer able to capture Ping'an County."

"The main force of the enemy army has also returned to Ping'an County, so the 37th Division was forced to stop the attack and is currently on standby."

"Humph~!"

Tada Jun snorted coldly, and said, "Standby? You just want me to give them an order to retreat!"

"Maybe this is life!"

In this disastrous defeat, Jun Tada knew that his commander had come to an end, and it was estimated that the military department's transfer order would come down soon.

Kasahara Yukio hurriedly persuaded: "Your Excellency, Commander, don't be too frustrated. Occasional failures are nothing."

"Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. At worst, we will wait for the next time. If we are more prepared and plan more carefully, we will definitely be able to eliminate these hateful dirt roads."

"next time?"

Toshi Tada smiled bitterly and said, "Kasahara-kun, you may have another chance, but I'm afraid I won't have that chance."

Yukio Kasahara quickly said: "Although we were defeated, it is understandable. We reported the truth to the military department. I believe those people in the military department can understand."

Tada Jun waved his hand and said, "It would be great if things were that simple. In my position, there are already many people staring at me!"

"I was able to take up the position of commander because I boasted that I could pacify North China within one to two years."

"The military department and even His Majesty the Emperor are very optimistic about it, and they are even more optimistic about my battle plan. That's why I will succeed General Sugiyama as the commander of North China."

"But now? The situation here has become even worse. Now the military department and the emperor have completely disappointed me, and the army has suffered such a disastrous defeat. Do you think I can continue to be the commander?"

"Kasahara-kun, I want to ask you something!"

Kasahara Yukio hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Commander, please tell me."

Tada Jun said sincerely: "I'm done, but you may be exempted from prosecution, or you may receive some minor punishments, and the possibility of staying in office is still very high."

"If you can continue to serve as the chief of staff of the North China Dispatch Army, please help me avenge my hatred. It is the greatest regret in my life that I failed to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route, especially the scourge of Li Yunlong."

"So if you can stay, I hope you can help me fulfill this wish. If I'm still alive by then, don't forget to let me know. I'll thank you first."

Yukio Kasahara quickly said: "Your Excellency Commander, please rest assured that I will continue to work hard in this direction, and strive to help Your Excellency Commander realize this wish as soon as possible."

Tada Jun nodded slightly, and said, "That's all, please, go down first!"

"I will personally draft a report of pleading guilty to the military department, and then wait for the military department's punishment."

Yukio Kasahara asked cautiously: "Your Excellency, what about the 37th Division?"

"Let them withdraw to Heyuan!" Tada Jun said casually.

"Hay!"

Yukio Kasahara quickly responded, turned and left.

At this point, Tada Jun has completely resigned to his fate.

The order to withdraw troops was conveyed to the safe front line. After reading the telegram, Hirata Kenkichi ordered: "Command all the troops to prepare to withdraw to Heyuan!"

"Hay!"

A devil officer next to him responded respectfully, and turned around to convey the order.

With an order, the army began to pack up and prepare to retreat.

But this time it's not just a matter of leaving, they don't have much supplies now, at most they have some heavy weapons, which are a bit troublesome to transport.

These are also trivial matters. The most troublesome thing is that there are a large number of wounded and dead bodies, which is more troublesome to deal with.

Since there were too many little devils who had been beaten to death, the little devils could only collect the corpses, and then cremated them on the spot. Put the identifiable corpses, sparks, and ashes into the altar, and then prepared to transport them back to the country.

Some of the corpses could no longer be distinguished, and they were even smashed to pieces, so the corpses could not be found at all.

It doesn't matter, these indistinguishable centralized cremation, when the time comes, the ashes will be separated.

Those who couldn’t find their bodies could just use the ashes and send them back. Anyway, they were all burned to ashes, and they were basically the same.

At this moment, the Eighth Route Army in the city also began to use the gap in the battle to bury the remains of the sacrificed soldiers.

Loyal bones are buried everywhere in Qingshan, and these sacrificed soldiers are all buried on the slopes of Xishan in Ping'an County.

Since there were too many sacrificed soldiers, the entire hillside was occupied by densely packed grave mounds. Those who could identify their identities would have a wooden monument erected in front of the grave.

Those who could not be distinguished could only be buried together in the end, and a large monument was erected.

The little devil gave up the attack, and even stopped the tentative attack. No one even hid in the dark and shot coldly. It seemed that the two sides had formed some kind of tacit understanding, and at this time they were just collecting the remains.

Here in Ping'an County, it is rare to enter a relatively peaceful period.

Li Yunlong led his troops along a mountain road all the way north, and walked out about dozens of miles.

The troops Li Yunlong brought this time included the second battalion, the third battalion, the fourth battalion, the cavalry battalion, and one artillery battalion. All the troops suffered losses, but the total strength was about [-].

When they came to the foot of a mountain, Li Yunlong ordered the troops to rest on the spot.

After fighting all night, the soldiers were all exhausted at this moment. Many soldiers leaned on the big trees and fell asleep immediately.

Li Yunlong also leaned against a big tree and began to close his eyes.

Duan Peng ran up to Li Yunlong and said, "Report to the regiment leader, we have already investigated clearly, and now Chu Yunfei's regiment headquarters is in Lijia Town."

Li Yunlong asked: "How far is it from here to Lijia Town?"

Duan Peng replied: "About ten miles."

Li Yunlong stood up and said with a smile: "Monk Wei, Duan Peng!"

"To!"

The two answered in unison.

Li Yunlong ordered: "You two go to pay a visit to Chu Yunfei with me."

At this time, Guan Dashan, Li Guotao, and Qin Feng, three battalion commanders, came over.

Li Yunlong told the three of them: "I'll leave this to you. The soldiers must be exhausted. Let everyone take the time to rest. After eating and drinking, I will sleep with you and recover your strength as soon as possible."

"There is still a big battle waiting for us to fight! This time, I must restore my combat power as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

The three responded quickly.

Li Yunlong looked around and said: "There should be no enemies in this area, but we can't be too careless."

"The guard posts that should be there must be released, just in case."

Guan Dashan quickly assured: "Don't worry, leader, we will be careful."

Li Yunlong said: "Then you just wait for my news."

"Okay, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong took Monk Wei and Duan Peng, and the three of them rode horses towards Lijia Town.

After not walking far, they met the guard post of the Jinsui Army. After Li Yunlong revealed his identity, the other party did not stop him, but sent two people to Lijia Town with Li Yunlong and others.

For more than ten miles, riding a horse is still very fast.

When Chu Yunfei heard that Li Yunlong had arrived, he hurried out to greet him.

As soon as they met, Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "Brother Yunlong, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you all right?"

"Hehe~!"

Li Yunlong chuckled, and said, "Our old Li has a hard life, and he hasn't been beaten to death by the little devil yet."

Chu Yunfei smiled and said: "Brother Yunlong was joking, with Brother Yunlong's ability, some little devils are your opponents!"

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "These are not some little devils. A 37th Division plus an independent Ninth Mixed Brigade, [-] little devils, all of them came rushing towards us."

"Being able to live until now can only be regarded as my brother's fate."

"But I heard that brother Chu has made a fortune recently!"

"I'm here this time to congratulate you!"

"Brother Chu, I congratulate you on getting rich! Let's see if you can share some with me, brother! My eyes are so envious after watching."

"Haha~!"

Chu Yunfei laughed, and said, "Brother Yunlong is really good at joking, it's not about getting rich, he just robbed a delivery team of the little devil."

"It's not as good as you, Brother Yunlong! I also just got the news that the Ninth Independent Mixed Brigade has been killed by you."

"Brother Yunlong is the real big hand! If you want to get rich, it is brother Yunlong who made a fortune. Brother Yunlong, I can at most get rich with brother Yunlong, and just drink some soup."

Li Yunlong said with a smile: "Brother Chu is too modest, he made a fortune in a silent voice, and he still doesn't admit it!"

"You people from Shanxi are just too picky, I'm afraid I'll steal it from you or something!"

"Brother, I'm far behind. It's true that we killed the Ninth Independent Mixed Brigade, but we dispatched seven regiments of troops, and I was only one of them. In the end, there were not many spoils left. One-seventh, there is not much left, and there is a lot of ammunition that has not been consumed!"

"And I lost a lot of troops. Brother, I really lost my vitality this time, so I came here. Please help Brother Chu."

Chu Yunfei smiled and said: "Brother Yunlong, you are being polite, you and my brother are with whom! If there is anything that needs Chu, just ask, as long as Chu can do it, he will never refuse."

"Look at me, I'm so happy to see brother Yunlong, let's talk slowly in the room."

"Brother Yunlong, please!"

"Brother Chu, please!"

Li Yunlong and others entered the house together, came to the living room, and just entered the door, when an orderly came up with a tray with towels on it.

Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "Brother Yunlong, please."

"Haha~! Then I'll be impolite!"

Li Yunlong picked up a towel and wiped off his sweat. It was summer and the weather was still relatively hot. Li Yunlong and others were also sweating all the way here.

Then Chu Yunfei hurriedly gave up his seat to Li Yunlong, and asked the orderly to serve tea.

After tea.

Li Yunlong said with a smile: "I'm just a rough guy, I don't know how to go round and round, I just speak up when I have something to say."

"This visit, I want to ask for something."

Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "Brother Yunlong, please tell me."

Li Yunlong said: "That's how it is. We have already killed the Little Devil's Independent Ninth Mixed Brigade. The 37th Division's attack on Ping'an County also got a bad nose."

"Before I came here, I just received a telegram over there. The 37th Division suffered heavy losses, and the combat strength is estimated to be out of ten."

"Now these little devils are collecting the corpse and cremating the corpse on the spot. Obviously they are going to run away."

"It's right to think about it. It won't be interesting for them to stay in Ping'an County. If they don't run now, it may be too late."

"And for us, now is a good opportunity to kill the 37th Division."

"Our superiors have made up their minds, and we must take advantage of this opportunity to kill the 37th Division."

"Opportunities are rare!"

Chu Yunfei asked: "What brother Yunlong said is very true. I don't know what Chu needs to do?"

Li Yunlong continued: "If you want to retreat, the little devil must pass through Brother Chu's defense zone."

"At this time, as long as we stop this group of remnants and defeated generals, when the main force of our army surrounds them, we will definitely be able to wipe out this group of little devils."

"It's a great achievement to wipe out a division of devils! Isn't Brother Chu not tempted?"

Chu Yunfei frowned and said, "It's indeed a rare opportunity, but I'm afraid Chu has more energy than he wants!"

"We only have the strength of one regiment, and our strength is limited. We just defeated a heavy army of devils. Although we won a big victory in the end, our own losses are not small."

"Now in a hurry, I am afraid it will be difficult to organize its effective forces to block it."

Chu Yunfei thought that Li Yunlong wanted them to stop him, but this kid was worried that Li Yunlong would trick him, so he deliberately asked him to stand in front of him to stop the little devil.

When the 37th Division wanted to break through, they would definitely do their best. Even if the [-]th Division suffered heavy losses, but a lean camel was bigger than a horse, Chu Yunfei couldn't be careless.

If their 37th regiment went to block it, once the [-]th division started desperately, they might not be able to stop it, and even if they could, they would suffer heavy losses.

That's why Chu Yunfei was so cautious, for fear of being tricked by Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Brother Chu misunderstood, I didn't ask Brother Chu to stop the little devil."

"I just came to say hello to Brother Chu. We borrowed from your army's defense area, and our new regiment will stop it."

"The battle will definitely take place in Brother Chu's defense zone. At that time, Brother Chu only needs to make way for his troops to pass."

"After this battle is over, we will leave immediately."

Chu Yunfei was slightly surprised by this, staring at Li Yunlong, as if he wanted to see through this kid.

Is Li Yunlong, who has always been cunning, just trying to make an excuse?Chu Yunfei felt that things might not be that simple.

It's just that Li Yunlong's words are all about this, if Chu Yunfei doesn't agree, it's really a bit unreasonable.

Of course, if you want to find a reason to prevaricate, it's okay.

But with Li Yunlong's temper, if he drove over directly, could it be possible that he, Chu Yunfei, could really beat Li Yunlong?

Now that Li Yunlong took the initiative to say hello, it was enough to give him Chu Yunfei face.

According to Li Yunlong's previous temper, this rascal would probably bring the troops over directly, so why would he waste this time?
And if Li Yunlong was rejected, Chu Yunfei would not be reconciled, after all, there was a chance to kill the 37th Division in front of him, so he couldn't really miss the opportunity!

But Chu Yunfei was worried again, this kid was holding bad water in his stomach, so he didn't know what to do for a while.

Seeing that Chu Yunfei was in a daze, Li Yunlong quickly said, "Brother Chu, what's wrong with you?"

"nothing!"

Chu Yunfei quickly said: "It's all a trivial matter, but Brother Redemption is taking the liberty, I don't know where your army plans to start?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "This is also the second purpose of my coming. This is Brother Chu's defense zone. No one knows the terrain here better than you, Brother Chu."

"I also want to ask Brother Chu face-to-face. The little devil retreated all the way and returned to Heyuan. In Brother Chu's defense zone, which place is the most suitable for a blocking battle?"

This question is naturally difficult for Chu Yunfei. Chu Yunfei can open his mouth and ask, but he pondered for a while, wondering if there might be any traps in it. After all, Li Yunlong is not a good person, who knows this kid Will you set him up?

Chu Yunfei replied: "If you talk about blocking, it must be in Huanglongling!"

"This is the only way for the little devil to retreat to Heyuan, and the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you defend here, you will definitely be able to block the way of the devil."

Li Yunlong said with a smile: "Brother Chu, I also think this place is good, so let's go to Huanglongling to stop it."

"If Brother Chu is convenient, you can also send troops to assist in the battle. The great achievement of eliminating the 37th Division will be yours."

"After all, even if we have made meritorious service, the Second War Zone or the Chongqing side may not reward us, but Brother Chu is different."

"Brother Chu is a disciple of the Son of Heaven, and Chief Yan's favorite general!"

Chu Yunfei felt that he was being entangled. When did I promise you to excuse me, but now I want to send troops to help, the fox's tail finally showed.

But in order to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, Chu Yunfei could only settle for the next best thing.

Chu Yunfei smiled and said: "Well, Brother Redeem is incompetent. We can mobilize only a limited number of troops, but we will do our best, but in the end it will be up to you, Brother Yunlong."

"At best, we are just icing on the cake. As for the matter of pretending to be rewarded, Chu doesn't even bother to do it."

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "I know Brother Chu is a real man, and I disdain him, but the people above don't think so, maybe for the sake of publicity, we will definitely weaken us by then, and focus on promoting your [-] regiment. "

"So Brother Chu is sure to make money from this business, so don't refuse, Brother Chu."

Chu Yunfei said: "It is of course the duty of Chu to kill the enemy during the War of Resistance. Brother Yunlong has already mentioned this. How can Chu refuse?"

"However, I still say the same thing. Our small business is not comparable to your brother Yunlong. It's a big deal."

"I can only say that I'm doing my best to contribute to this battle. In the end, it depends on your army's achievements."

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as Brother Chu agrees to borrow the way, everything else will be easy to handle."

"Brother Chu, watch the battle and see how we can kill the 37th Division!"
