Chapter 361 What medicine is sold in the gourd?
"Captain, what is the secret that Yamamoto Ikki told before he died?" After the battle, Zhang Ling asked the question in his mind.
Li Yunlong shook his head and exhaled a puff of thick smoke: "Who knows what that old devil is up to. But no matter what the secret is, I'm not afraid of him!"
"But..." Zhang Ling wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Yunlong.
"No buts! If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth! I don't believe that these little devils can still cause trouble!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Yunlong's eyes. "Pass the order, clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded! I want to let these little devils know that our independent regiment is not to be trifled with!"
However, what Li Yunlong didn't know was that the secret that Yamamoto Ikki told before his death would bring an unprecedented crisis to the independent group...
At night, at the independent regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong and Zhang Ling were still studying the woman in the photo and Yamamoto Ikki's "secret".
"This woman is quite pretty, but I don't know what her relationship is with that old devil Yamamoto Ikki." Li Yunlong stared at the photo, touched his chin, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Captain, do you think it could be Yamamoto Ikki's daughter?" Zhang Ling guessed. After all, the woman in the photo was too young and it didn't look like she was his wife.
Li Yunlong shook his head. "No, that old devil Yamamoto Ikki is almost fifty years old. How could he have such a young daughter? Besides, if it was a daughter, why didn't he explain it clearly before he died? Why was he so mysterious?"
Just when the two were puzzled, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"report!"
Li Yunlong shouted impatiently: "Come in!"
The monk pushed the door open and saluted solemnly: "Report to the regiment commander, the brigade commander has an urgent message!"
Li Yunlong's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came over him. The brigade commander sent a telegram at this time, which must be bad news!
"Read!" Li Yunlong said in a deep voice.
The monk unfolded the telegram and read it quickly: "Li Yunlong, your troops... your troops..."
"Can you please stop breathing so hard when you speak? Get to the point directly!" Li Yunlong got impatient again and wanted to kick the monk on the butt.
The monk took a deep breath and said with gritted teeth: "The brigade commander said that your troops... are surrounded!"
"The Japs are coming!" the monk shouted at the top of his voice, scaring all the sparrows in the command center away.
Li Yunlong snatched the photo, stuffed it back into the box, and shoved it into his pocket, cursing, "Damn it, these bastards came at the wrong time! Monk, how many Japanese soldiers are there? Where are we going to fight?"
"Report to the regiment commander, the Japanese are coming in full force, with at least a reinforced regiment heading towards our Zhaojiayuyu!" The monk was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. It was obvious that they were heading for the independent regiment's base.
"Damn it! The Japanese are planning to take over our hometown!" Li Yunlong was so angry that he jumped up and down. "Order the troops to enter the first level of combat readiness immediately! I want to see what these bastards can do today!"
Zhang Ling calmly observed the situation from the sidelines, and Yamamoto Ikki's last words lingered in his mind. What secret? What was related to life and death? Could this photo have something to do with this sudden attack?
He looked at the sweet-smiling Japanese woman in the photo, and an inexplicable uneasiness came over him. His intuition told him that this matter was definitely not simple.
"Old Zhang, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and get ready for battle!" Li Yunlong saw Zhang Ling standing there in a daze, so he pulled him over and said anxiously.
"Captain, I always feel that this matter is weird. The Japanese came too suddenly. I'm worried..." Zhang Ling hesitated to speak. He had a vague feeling in his heart that this battle might be a trap, a trap specifically targeting the independent regiment.
"What's there to be afraid of? If an enemy comes, I'll fight him. If a flood comes, I'll block it with earth. How can I be afraid of them?" Li Yunlong waved his hand and said with great pride, "Old Zhang, when did you become so fussy? This is not your style!"
Zhang Ling knew Li Yunlong's temper. Nothing he said could change his decision. He could only swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became firm. "Captain, you are right. Let's fight these devils!"
"That's more like it! Come on, follow me and beat him up!" Li Yunlong laughed, put his arm around Zhang Ling's shoulder, and strode out of the command center.
The soldiers of the independent regiment had already prepared for battle. They were rubbing their hands in anticipation, their eyes filled with hatred and anger towards the invaders.
"Comrades, the Japanese invaders are attacking our base again, trying to steal our food and kill our compatriots!" Li Yunlong stood on a big rock and said to the soldiers passionately, "Today, let's fight them to the death and let them know how powerful our independent regiment is!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The soldiers were furious and their roars shook the earth.
Fierce fighting soon broke out. The Japanese invaders, relying on their well-equipped weapons, launched a fierce attack on the independent regiment's position. Under the command of Li Yunlong, the soldiers of the independent regiment resisted tenaciously and fought a desperate battle with the enemy.
The sounds of gunfire, artillery fire, and shouting were intertwined, and the entire Zhaojiayu was shrouded in smoke.
Zhang Ling held a machine gun and madly fired at the charging enemy. Bullets poured out like raindrops, and one by one the Japanese soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
"Hit me hard! Hit me!" Li Yunlong roared and directed the battle under the hail of bullets.
The battle was extremely brutal. Although the soldiers of the independent regiment were brave and good at fighting, they were outnumbered by the enemy and their weapons and equipment were far behind the enemy. Gradually, their positions began to loosen.
"Captain, the Japanese's firepower is too strong. We can't withstand it!" The monk ran to Li Yunlong and shouted anxiously.
"We have to hold on even if we can't! Even if we have to use up our last bullet, we have to keep the Japanese out of our position!" Li Yunlong shouted with red eyes.
At this moment, Zhang Ling suddenly discovered that there was a hint of chaos in the Japanese offensive formation, as if there was a problem with the command system.
"Captain, look!" Zhang Ling pointed at the Japanese position in the distance and said loudly.
Li Yunlong looked in the direction of Zhang Ling's finger and found that the Japanese offensive momentum had obviously weakened, and the originally dense formation had become scattered.
"Good opportunity!" Li Yunlong's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Pass my order, concentrate your firepower, and hit hard!"
The soldiers of the independent regiment seized this rare opportunity, concentrated all their firepower, and launched a fierce counterattack against the enemy. The Japanese were caught off guard, their formation was in disarray, and they were defeated one after another.
"Charge! Kill!" The soldiers of the independent regiment rushed towards the enemy like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable.
Li Yunlong and Zhang Ling fought side by side. They led the soldiers and chased the enemy all the way and drove them out of Zhaojiayu.
Just as the soldiers of the independent regiment were cheering for victory, Zhang Ling suddenly felt a severe headache, his eyes went dark, and he fainted on the ground.
"Lao Zhang! Lao Zhang! What's wrong with you?" Li Yunlong was shocked when he saw this. He hugged Zhang Ling and shouted anxiously...
"The devils are coming!" The monk's roar was like thunder, exploding in the headquarters of the independent regiment. Li Yunlong slammed the photo on the table and cursed: "Damn it, these devils have a sharp nose! Monk, how many people are coming? Where are they going to attack?"
The monk panted and shouted anxiously, "At least a battalion of soldiers are rushing towards our headquarters!"
"Damn it, you want to fight me to death, right?" Li Yunlong picked up the turtle box on the table and rushed out with murderous intent, "Order the troops to prepare for battle!"
Zhang Ling followed closely behind, frowning. Yamamoto Ikki's last words, the sweet-smiling Japanese woman in the photo, and the sudden attack by the devils, these things were like scattered beads, making him vaguely feel a little uneasy, but he couldn't grasp the clue.
"Zhang Ling, don't just stand there, grab your weapons!" Li Yunlong turned around and yelled when he saw Zhang Ling still standing there.
"Yes!" Zhang Ling came to his senses, picked up the Hanyang-made rifle leaning against the wall, and quickly followed.
The position of the independent regiment was soon covered by fierce artillery fire from the devils. Li Yunlong commanded the troops to resist tenaciously with simple fortifications, and the battle was extremely fierce. Zhang Ling, relying on his military accomplishments that transcended his time and his keen insight into the battlefield, shuttled through the hail of bullets like a ghost, and every time the Hanyang rifle in his hand sounded, it took the life of a devil.
"Damn it, the Japanese want to fight me to death, I will fight them to the end!" Li Yunlong roared and threw grenades at the enemy.
"Commander, the Japanese firepower is too strong. If we fight like this, there will be too many casualties!" Zhang Ling ran to Li Yunlong and said loudly.
"Don't be afraid of birds! I haven't fought enough!" Li Yunlong spitted and said with red eyes, "I want to see who lies down first today!"
Zhang Ling knew Li Yunlong's temper, and it would be a waste of time to reason with him at this time. He rolled his eyes, and a plan came to his mind. He said loudly: "Captain, have you forgotten what Yamamoto Ikki said before he died? He said he knew a secret that concerns our life and death! We have to find a way to break out and find out this secret!"
Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, then reacted and cursed: "Yeah! I almost forgot about this! Damn it, this old devil is going to disgust me even before he dies!"
"Captain, I know a small path that can get behind the enemy!" Zhang Ling pointed to a dense forest not far away and said, "Let's break out first, and then make plans!"
"Okay! I'll listen to you!" Li Yunlong made a prompt decision and shouted to the monk beside him, "Monk, bring your weapons to me and cover Zhang Ling and me in our breakout!"
Without saying a word, the monk picked up a Type 99 light machine gun and started firing at the Japanese soldiers rushing towards him. Bullets poured out like raindrops, suppressing the Japanese soldiers' offensive momentum.
