If it had been earlier, perhaps Li Yunlong would have really been taken down by the Black Cloud Stronghold.
However, it was different now. Xu An had 12,000 people with combat strength under him.
There were also 4,000 people with guns and 1,000 Bobossa submachine guns!
Where was Li Yunlong? Now, the independent regiment was extremely poor, and there weren't many people. There were only a little over 1,000 people.
Under such circumstances, why should he go to the Black Cloud Stronghold to ask for horses?
When the brigade commander heard Li Yunlong's words, he was silent for a long time.
At first, he thought that Li Yunlong was lying to him, but after thinking about it, did Li Yunlong have the guts of a bear or a leopard? She actually dared to lie to him?
If he was lying, he would be exposed sooner or later, and the brigade commander would beat him to death!
Therefore, Li Yun Long did not dare to lie about this matter.
The brigade commander was furious. He scolded Li Yunlong on the other end of the phone,"Li Yunlong, what the hell are you doing? You've transferred an entire regiment out, yet you can't win against a group of bandits?
Usually, he was boasting loudly, but now? You even robbed me of my things. I've lost all my face because of you! Mobilizing the troops without asking for permission, this time I will punish you!”
After cursing, the brigade commander hung up the phone.
Li Yunlong put down the phone with a face full of helplessness.
Of course, the brigade commander only said that he wanted to punish Li Yunlong. He really couldn't bear to let Li Yunlong go.
In addition, the situation of the independent regiment was not good to begin with. It was obviously not appropriate to withdraw Li Yunlong at this time.
However, the brigade commander really did not expect Li Yunlong to fail so miserably this time.
However, thinking about it carefully, that bandit leader was indeed not simple.
"Brigade Commander, what is it? Why are you so angry?" the chief of staff asked.
"It's all because of that trash Li Yunlong! Wan Jia Town was such a fat piece of meat, but in the end, this kid didn't even get a single hair. It was all snatched away by the bandits!”The brigade commander said angrily.
"Are these bandits from the Black Cloud Stronghold?”the chief of staff asked.
"Other than the bandits of the Black Cloud Stronghold, who else can it be? This group was indeed not simple. There were more than 3,000 people. It was a hidden danger!”the brigade commander said seriously.
The chief of staff nodded, thinking that the brigade commander was right."This group of bandits is indeed a hidden danger. After all, I've never seen such a large-scale group of bandits. However…since they were willing to fight the Japanese, they could be considered allies.
For now, I think it's better not to become enemies.”
The brigade commander naturally understood this principle. It was obviously not appropriate to fight with these bandits now.
Not only would the Japanese watch the show, but the national army would also watch the show.
Therefore, he really couldn't touch this group of bandits.
However, the brigade commander really couldn't bear to part with those hundreds of horses!
"I know the logic, but those hundreds of horses are all good horses! I think it's a waste to put it in the hands of bandits. How can I get the horse back…"
At this moment, the brigade commander had ideas about the horse in Xu An's hands.
" Brigadier General," the chief of staff said after some thought." I remember that the bandits didn't have any weapons or equipment when we fought against the Sakata United." "Therefore, I can be sure that what they lack the most now is weapons and equipment.
Why don't we go and talk to the bandit leader and see if we can exchange weapons and equipment for some horses? Cavalry was extremely important to every regiment.”
The brigade commander thought carefully about the chief of staff's suggestion. There was a slight possibility of exchanging them.
After all, the bandit leader rarely robbed civilians. He was basically targeting the Japanese soldiers. However, how much could they steal from the Japanese soldiers?
The daily expenses of over three thousand people were not small. He could use his rations and weapons to exchange for some horses from the bandit leader.
It just so happened that the brigade commander was also very interested in Xu An, the chief of the Black Cloud Stronghold. Therefore, he wanted to go and lie down and meet Xu An.
It would be best if they could be incorporated in the future.
After all, if he could take them in, what he gave them now would be his in the future. Why not?
With this thought in mind, the brigade commander said,"Contact the headquarters and tell them our thoughts.”
The brigade commander didn't have that much authority to mobilize weapons, equipment, and rations.
Therefore, this matter had to be reported to the higher-ups.
The headquarters soon received the brigade commander's report and agreed to his idea.
Although they were also lacking weapons and equipment, they were still lacking horses. These hundreds of horses meant a lot to them.
Using weapons and equipment to exchange for horses was not a loss.
Just like that, the headquarters sent Zhang Wanhe to the 386th Brigade to negotiate with the brigade commander.
The group of people came to the entrance of the Black Cloud Stronghold. In the Loyalty Hall, someone came to report,"Reporting to Chief, the 8th Route Army's 386th Brigade Commander Chen and the logistics department head Zhang Wanhe have come to visit.”
