At the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.
"What? Are you sure it's a group of bandits?”
When Chu Yunfei heard Fang Ligong's report, his face was filled with disbelief.
How could they be bandits?
One or two mortars were fine, but from the firepower coverage, there were at least a hundred mortars!
Have you ever seen bandits with such powerful firepower?
Fang Ligong could not hide his shock, but he still nodded."Yes, Regiment Commander. Whether we believe it or not, the report from the frontline said that the flag had the words 'Qiyun Stronghold' written on it, and Qiyun Stronghold is one of the many bandit strongholds in northwestern Shanxi.”
"Oh? Then what about the bandit forces in Qiyun Stronghold?”
"Hmm…according to the report, Qiyun Stronghold isn't considered very strong among the other strongholds. They only have around three hundred people, and with just one or two hundred spears, their strength is at most equivalent to a platoon of our 358th Regiment.”
"Impossible, how can a platoon have such powerful firepower?”
"Guild Leader, I also think it's impossible, but it's the truth.”
Hearing this, Chu Yunfei furrowed his brows and began to think carefully.
With three hundred people and so many mortars, could it be…
Chu Yunfei suddenly turned around and asked,"Brother Li Gong, do you think there's a possibility that these bandits are spies of a certain force, like the Central Army, or the private troops of a certain officer?"”
"Otherwise, how could these bandits have so many mortars? It's almost equivalent to five or six of my artillery battalions!”
It was currently a time of war.
In order to ensure their own safety, every high-ranking official had trained their own trusted troops. Moreover, many of the national army's big shots had infiltrated the army and wantonly plundered military resources.
It was absolutely possible that this troop was a pawn planted by a big shot.
"Hiss-"
Obviously, after Chu Yunfei's reminder, Fang Ligong also realized this problem.
He took a deep breath." Regiment Commander, in that case, could it be that these bandits were really planted by a certain officer?”
"It's just that…this isn't a frontal battlefield, but a battlefield behind enemy lines. Wouldn't it be a waste to have hundreds of mortars firing here?”
"Yes." Chu Yunfei nodded, his expression still deep in thought,"
"This is also something that I can't understand. We are only in the enemy's rear battlefield. Logically speaking, this unit shouldn't have appeared. Moreover, their firepower is too huge.”
"Alright, no matter what, this faction seems to be a friend and not an enemy.”
"Let's carry out the original plan. Inform the others to pay close attention to this unit and investigate all information about it!”
"We only need to be on good terms with them, not on bad terms!”
"Yes, Regiment Commander!" Fang Ligong saluted.”
……
Great Summer Bay, Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
"Rebel! It's really the opposite!"
The boss stormed into the command center.
The chief of staff looked at the boss and asked,"Boss, what happened? Why are you suddenly so angry?"”
The president said angrily," What else? It's this Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong is really going to rebel. He actually disobeyed orders on the battlefield and disobeyed the previous command. This time, I must punish him properly!"”
Many people in the headquarters liked Li Yunlong's fighting style.
Hearing that the boss wanted to punish Li Yunlong, the chief of staff immediately explained," Boss, I think we should take a long time to think about Li Yunlong's battle at the Gray Cloud Ridge.”
"It's true that Li Yunlong resisted the order on the battlefield, but after all, he was able to resist the powerful artillery attack of the Sakata coalition army. He bought precious time for the division's clerk and the field hospital to evacuate.”
The boss was in a fit of anger. He slammed the table and snorted."Humph, what kind of merit is this? This is what Li Yunlong should do!”
"If Li Yunlong can't even do this, how can he be a regiment commander?”
Seeing that the chief of staff was about to say something, the boss waved his hand and interrupted him."You, don't plead for Li Yun Long. This kid has made a lot of contributions over the years, but he has also made a lot of mistakes.”
"Although this kid is good at fighting, and he is also good at fighting the Japanese, this time, Li Yunlong actually dared to disobey orders on the battlefield!”
"This is a big mistake. We can't let this happen. Otherwise, it will be difficult for our team to lead!”
After hearing this, the Chief of Staff knew that his boss was really angry this time and made up his mind to punish Li Yunlong.
However, the chief of staff was not worried. After all, Li Yunlong was the kind of person who would soon go to war. The boss actually liked him.
"But Boss, how are you going to punish him?" the Chief of Staff asked.”
The boss pondered for a moment.”
"Hey, boss, he has done this before.”
"Why don't we transfer him to the kitchen and make him a cook?”
"Hey! Boss, Li Yunlong had done this before.”
"Heh, I didn't know that Li Yunlong was a multi-talented person.”The boss was amused, and his anger eased a lot.
"How about this, let Li Yunlong go to the clothing factory to embroider. He hasn't done this before, right?”
"He really hasn't done this before.”
"Haha, letting this kid do embroidery is going to be difficult for him!”
The two of them laughed for a while. The boss took out a telegram and handed it to the chief of staff.
"Oh right, take a look at this telegram. Sakata and the other Japanese were actually wiped out by cannonballs. The report also said that the artillery fire lasted for half an hour and consumed thousands of mortar shells.”
"Oh, is there such a thing?"
The chief of staff was surprised. He took the telegram and read it.
