Chapter 198 Preparing to Attack An County
When Li Yilong arrived at the headquarters, he hadn't even met Bai Luo yet when Liu Cheng, who had been waiting for him, caught him red-handed.
"Li Yilong, what kind of trouble are you causing now? You mobilized the entire West First Regiment first thing in the morning. Do you even respect me as your boss? If the militia hadn't contacted me, I wouldn't have known you were so bold."
"Xiao Liu took Li Yilong's gun from me and took me to the solitary confinement room. It's utterly disorganized and undisciplined."
Liu Cheng launched into a tirade against Li Yilong, giving him no chance to explain, and was about to lock him up in solitary confinement.
Only then did Li Yilong realize that he seemed to have forgotten to report to the boss last night. After hearing Xiao Liu's report, he was focused on finding Bai Luo.
Realizing what had happened, Li Yilong gestured for Xiao Liu to release him and give him a chance to explain.
After seeing this, Liu Cheng gave Xiao Liu a look.
After seeing Xiao Liu release him, Li Yilong didn't dare to waste a moment and quickly recounted what had happened the night before.
After a long while, Liu Cheng and Zhuge Ming exchanged a glance.
"Li Yilong, are you sure the information about that man who's your mistress is accurate?"
Seeing that his boss's tone had softened, Li Yilong immediately patted his chest and assured him.
"Don't worry, boss. He's sent me messages many times. He's definitely one of our own. I guarantee there won't be any problems."
Seeing Li Yilong's enthusiastic assurance, Zhuge Ming spoke up.
"This is no excuse for you to act on your own. Go stand at attention in the yard for an hour."
"Yes."
Li Yilong knew that the chief of staff was punishing him for arbitrarily mobilizing troops. Now that he had been punished, the matter was considered over.
We won't bring up the past again. After Li Yilong nimbly stood at attention in the headquarters courtyard...
"Old buddy, you should protect him."
Zhuge Ming smiled and said.
"He just forgot for a moment, it's not something to be taken too seriously, and we might really have to take action against An County."
Liu Cheng nodded after hearing this.
Before Li Yilong arrived at headquarters, Liu Cheng received a report from the underground intelligence station in the original city.
"The Japanese observation group has now arrived in Yuan City, and no Japanese activities of collecting protective materials have been found in Yuan City so far."
At the time, Zhuge Ming and Liu Cheng both had some doubts about whether the news from the northern provinces was wrong, but unexpectedly, when things didn't look good in the east, they found something else.
I learned from Li Yilong that the Japanese were clearing out warehouses in large quantities, which means they might be storing supplies in An County.
Liu Chengdu admired the Japanese commander's audacity in placing such important supplies in An County.
After discussing it for a while, the two decided to go along with Li Yilong's wishes and let the West First Regiment take a look. Time was no longer sufficient for them to conduct a thorough investigation.
If by sheer luck we stumble upon something unexpected and it brings some success, it could disrupt the Japanese plan. Even if we don't succeed, it could boost the morale of the people in the western province to fight the Japanese, and at the same time test the Japanese reaction. Always being on the defensive and taking hits is not their style.
Having made the decision, Liu Cheng and Zhuge Ming didn't waste any time and quickly began making arrangements, while also calling in Li Yilong, who was sunbathing outside.
"The commander and I have approved your plan. You must find out what supplies the Japanese are stockpiling in the warehouse in An County. If you encounter any unusual shells or items, you must bring them all back to headquarters."
Li Yilong was taken aback by Zhuge Ming's words, but he still replied.
"Yes, I guarantee I'll complete the mission, but I promised to share half of these supplies with Xiao Luo."
"Huh? What's going on?" Liu Cheng was surprised to hear that Xiao Luo was involved here.
He was about to lose his temper. He had already whipped Li Yilong, but he didn't expect that this guy would forget the lesson and go and provoke that good boy Xiao Luo again.
Thinking of this, Liu Cheng's anger flared up, and he immediately turned his gaze to the whip hanging on the wall.
Li Yilong has a keen eye; he immediately guessed Liu Cheng's thoughts.
"Boss, let's talk this out. This can't be done without Xiao Luo."
Upon hearing Li Yilong's words, Liu Cheng stopped in his tracks, turned to stare at Li Yilong, and gave him an expression that said, "If you don't explain yourself clearly, I'll whip you."
Li Yilong dared not delay and quickly gave Liu Cheng a brief account of his deal with Bai Luo the previous night.
"What? Little Luo has tanks? Ten of them!!!"
"Really? Li Yilong, you're not just messing with me to avoid a beating, are you?"
Li Yilong looked bitter upon hearing his boss's words.
"Boss, how could I dare? I..."
Li Yilong's next words were interrupted by Zhuge Ming.
"Boss, this might actually be true."
"Ok?"
Liu Cheng turned his gaze to Zhuge Ming, as if gesturing for Zhuge Ming to explain in detail.
"Do you remember when I told you that we encountered Japanese tanks on the way when we were evacuating? Xiao Luo disappeared that night. It's very likely that Xiao Luo was targeting the Japanese tanks at that time."
Besides, that Japanese tank company had 10 tanks and 5 Japanese trucks. And think about it, Xiao Luo came back in a Japanese truck, didn't he?
Upon hearing this, Liu Cheng couldn't help but gasp. It all made perfect sense, but he still found it hard to believe.
"How can a little kid who's barely up to his chest have such amazing abilities?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Is Xiao Luo that amazing?"
Zhuge Ming thought of the strength Bai Luo had displayed before him and the many mysterious weapons he possessed.
"That child is a bit strange."
Li Yilong couldn't help but nod in agreement when he heard Zhuge Ming's words.
"Just ask Xiao Luo, and you'll find out."
Seeing the two of them like this, Liu Cheng decided to ask the parties involved directly.
When Bai Luo was summoned to the command center, he saw Li Yilong and knew roughly what was going on.
As expected, upon hearing Liu Cheng's question, he knew that his guess was correct, only that it was a little later than he had anticipated.
Bai Luo immediately gave Liu Cheng a brief explanation of the origins of the tank, and Liu Cheng listened.
He thought to himself, "Just as my old partner guessed."
The rest was simple; we just split into two groups.
Half of the men Li Yilong brought went with Bai Luo to drive the tanks, while Li Yilong, using a truck driven by Bai Luo, pulled the Type 92 infantry gun that headquarters had lent him, and headed ahead to hide near An County.
At 7 p.m., Bai Luo finally arrived at the ambush site of Li Yilong with 10 tanks and 3 Japanese supply trucks.
When Li Yilong saw Bai Luozhen bring the tank over, he excitedly circled around the Japanese tank, touching it repeatedly.
His gaze was so intense it made Bai Luo's skin crawl.
Li Yilong felt that having these 10 tanks to attack An County was a waste of their potential; they should have attacked Yuan City directly.
Bai Luo was unaware of Li Yilong's somewhat presumptuous thoughts. After waiting for a long time, she still couldn't take her eyes off Li Yilong and look away from the tank.
I couldn't help but speak.
"My eyes are going to pop out if I keep looking."
Li Yilong, interrupted by Bai Luo, gave an awkward laugh and kicked Zhang Biao, who was not much stronger than him.
"I'm talking to you, you've got your eyes popped out of your head, hurry up and contact your brother-in-law's wife's sister's lover."
Zhang Biao felt wronged, thinking to himself that the regimental commander was no better, but he still obediently headed to the agreed location.
Bai Luo was somewhat impressed by Li Yilong's ability to so clearly untangle the messy relationships among his informants.
I couldn't help but give Li Yilong a thumbs up in my heart.
