The battle in Ping An County City had made Li Yun Long famous. First, Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio of the Japanese army in Taiyuan lost his temper again. He stared at the military map of the surrounding area of Ping 'an County in northwestern Shanxi. The red and blue arrows representing the enemy and the enemy were intertwined. A staff officer used a scale to calculate that the area of the two sides was actually thousands of square kilometers. A rough estimation showed that the total number of troops invested by both sides reached more than 300,000. More than 1,000 defenders in Pingan County were all killed, and Yamamoto's secret service team was completely destroyed. More than half of the reinforcements were also killed or injured. The Beitongpu railway was destroyed in several sections, and the entire cable communication network of the Japanese army in the northwestern part of Shanxi was completely destroyed. In most areas, there was not a single telephone pole that stretched for more than 20 kilometers left. Some of the Japanese strongholds were empty due to reinforcements, and the local armed forces of the Chinese army took advantage of it.
All of this was caused by the commander of the Eighth Route Army, Li Yunlong. What kind of person was he? How could it have such destructive power? Even the well-equipped and well-trained Yamamoto Special Agent Team had been wiped out. No one survived. He was only a small commander. How could he mobilize so many troops to participate in the battle? Even the Chinese government was involved. Shinozuka Yoshio could not understand. His intelligence department had already set up a file on Li Yunlong, but there was only a thin page.

[Resumes: 1927, participated in the 'Huang Ma Riot' organized by the government, and later transferred to the Red Army of the workers and peasants.] It was reported that Li had participated in the strategic retreat of the so-called "Long March" in the Chinese army. He was a relatively senior officer in the Chinese army and had made many military achievements. (The reason for his meritorious service is unknown.) He is currently the commander of the independent regiment of the 129th Division of the 18th Army of the National Revolution in the Chinese army. He has no military rank.

Presumably, he has experience as a soldier.] Proficient in shooting, skilled in using all kinds of light weapons, able to use pistols with both hands at the same time to achieve the first hit, has received combat training and knife training, subject is Chinese martial arts, level unknown.
There wasn't even a photo of Li Yunlong in the file. What did this bastard look like? Shinozuka Yoshio thought that one day, he would personally chop off his head and put it on his desk as a specimen.
Sigh, why did they only have fragmented information about Li Yunlong when they had a first-class intelligence system? Shinozuka Yoshio felt a faint pain in his chest, and he couldn't spit out his anger.
The intelligence department explained that this person had never served in the Chinese government and had no contact with the Chinese government. Before the Holy War of the Empire, this person was an unknown figure in the military. According to the regulations, the intelligence department of the Empire only collected information on the major general or division level officers of the enemy country or the imaginary enemy country.
Shinozuka Yoshio angrily closed the file and closed his eyes…
The Eighth Route Army headquarters only figured out what was going on more than ten days after the battle. According to the investigation, seven or eight main regiments and a large number of local troops had joined the battle. Without orders, these troops had become pawns in Li Yunlong's battle pattern. They were busy fighting and ambushing.
The chiefs at the headquarters were rather hesitant. Logically speaking, Li Yunlong had mobilized tens of thousands of troops into battle without asking for permission. He was unorganized and undisciplined, especially when he attacked the county town for his wife, causing thousands of casualties. It was a little like an official taking revenge for his personal hatred. Just based on this point, it was not much to shoot him. However, from the actual effect, this melee caused heavy losses to the Japanese army in northwest Shanxi. The participating troops gained a lot, and some small anti-Japanese base areas were inadvertently connected.
Yan Xishan, the commanding officer of the second battle area, also sent a commendation telegram. Congratulations to the Eighth Route Army for launching an aggressive offensive in northwestern Shanxi and achieving great results.
In the end, the Eighth Route Army's Political Department made up for their mistakes. In view of the fact that Comrade Li Yunlong led his troops to attack the county town without asking for instructions to avenge his personal hatred, causing a large number of casualties, he should have been severely punished. After consideration, it was believed that Comrade Li Yunlong led his troops to wipe out the enemy in Pingan County, causing the various departments to respond positively and causing the enemy to pay a heavy price in the vast combat area. Therefore, Comrade Li Yunlong's serious mistakes were not investigated, and his military achievements were not commended. His merits and demerits offset each other.
It was said that even Chairman Jiang, who was in Chongqing, was alarmed. He looked at the map and said to himself,"Mother Xi Pi, what's going on in Jinxi? What's going on in the Second World War Zone?"
Li Yunlong didn't care much about punishment and meritorious service. Anyway, since he joined the Red Army, he had received more than a dozen punishments and meritorious service. He had been promoted and demoted several times. The first time he was demoted was before he crossed the grassland during the Long March. At that time, all the troops were nervously preparing for food and grass. Li Yunlong was the commander of the four front armies. Because he had allowed his soldiers to rob the Tibetan people of food, he was criticized by the whole army. His position was demoted two levels in a row, from commander to battalion commander. Li Yunlong did not care much about this. Every time he mentioned this matter, he would always say,"I'm willing to break the rules? There was no other way. Tens of thousands of troops had passed by in front of me, but I didn't even have a single grain left. The Tibetans had grain in their hands. Even if you knelt down and called them grandpa, they wouldn't sell it. If you annoyed me, they would rob me. This punishment was worth it. When we crossed the grassland, my regiment didn't starve to death. The other troops were so hungry that they couldn't take it. They ate grass roots and boiled leather belts. They all asked me for grain. I didn't give it to them. I said that this bit of grain was exchanged for this punishment. Oh, I took the punishment. You guys eat food, this is too unfair.”
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Yunlong became the regiment commander again. After less than half a year, he caught up with the Xinkou Battle. The Independent Regiment captured five Japanese prisoners, all of whom were injured and captured. At the beginning of the war, almost all Japanese soldiers were outlaws, and very few were captured. At that time, if a few captives were occasionally captured, it would be considered a great merit. According to the regulations, they should be sent to the Eighth Route Army headquarters immediately. There was an anti-war alliance of Japanese soldiers there. After the captured Japanese soldiers were educated, they could join the anti-war alliance to launch a political offensive against the Japanese invaders. When Li Yunlong saw the Japanese, his hands itched. He circled around the captives several times, afraid of discipline and did not dare to do anything. However, the Japanese captives did not know what was good for them. They lay there kicking, biting, and tearing bandages with their hands, refusing to be carried onto the stretcher by the soldiers. Li Yunlong was furious." They're so shameless! Ask these bastards what they want!"”he said to the Japanese interpreter.
The interpreter said,"They said, Sir, please let us die.”
Li Yunlong was amused when he heard that." Good, you sound like a man. But that's true. He's a five-foot-tall man after all. He didn't die on the battlefield. Isn't it embarrassing to be a captive? I was also worried about how to send you guys off. You five bastards still need me to use a squad of soldiers to carry the stretcher. Everyone, be my witness. These devils begged me. I didn't want to kill them. I'll fulfill their wishes. It's convenient for everyone.”He took out his pistol and shot each of the five wounded soldiers in the head.
Because of this, he was given a major demerit and demoted to vice regiment commander. In Li Yunlong's own words, it was called " no itch when there are too many lice, no worries when there are too many debts." Let it be.
