Chapter 7 Joining forces with Li Yunlong
"Brothers! The Eighth Route Army is here to rescue us. Break through and kill!"
Under Yang Lin's command, the rebels quickly organized their forces and concentrated their firepower to break through the New 1st Regiment.
Niu Dadan called out to Yang Lin and said, "Brother Lin, what should we do with this old devil? He is too much of a burden to carry around. Should we kill him?"
Yang Lin looked back at him and said, "This old devil is a treasure. We are counting on him to get a reward from Old Man Yan. You have to keep an eye on him!"
After saying that, Yang Lin led his troops to charge out again.
Li Yunlong and Yang Lin coincidentally attacked the enemy from the front and back at the same time.
Without Tian Qi's command, the Japanese devils in the 2nd Battalion were leaderless, unable to take care of both ends, and were defeated and fled in all directions.
Li Yunlong and Yang Lin did not pursue further, but instead combined the two teams together to form a brother force fighting side by side.
"Brother, which part of the Imperial Army are you from?" Li Yunlong asked the leader Yang Lin.
Yang Lin said: "We are not the Imperial Army, we are the uprising army from Hongyunling!"
"The rebels from Hongyunling?"
Li Yunlong was slightly stunned.
"Ahem!" Yang Lin coughed twice and explained, "We became bandits due to some unavoidable reasons, but from now on, we are the insurgents fighting against the devils!"
Li Yunlong clapped his hands and said, "Good! This brother said it well!"
"A hero doesn't care about the way out. As long as they are on the team fighting the Japanese, they are all my brothers, Li Yun!"
Yang Lin also admired the generous yet insidious Li Yunlong. The two exchanged a few brief words and introduced themselves to each other.
Then, Yang Lin tried to sign in again, but the system did not respond after calling it several times.
Yang Lin felt relieved. He thought that he could only sign in once a day. He just didn't know if he could catch one person and keep taking advantage of him.
"This old devil is Sakata?"
Li Yunlong glanced at the Japanese colonel led by Niu Dazhuang. He was less than 1.6 meters tall, but quite strong.
Then he gave Yang Lin a thumbs up and praised him generously: "Brother Yang Lin was able to think of pretending to be the Imperial Army, attacking Huanglong and taking down Sakata's headquarters, and even capturing this old devil for a long time. He really made an extraordinary achievement!"
"There aren't many people I admire, Old Li. You're one of them!"
Yang Lin smiled and said , "If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't get the Japanese uniforms, pretending to be a Japanese soldier would be the best idea!"
Li Yunlong said: "It's good to pretend to be a Japanese soldier, but if you can't speak Japanese, you might end up losing more than you gain."
Yang Lin smiled slightly and said, "I studied abroad in Tokyo, Japan for three years, so I know a little about Japanese."
After saying that, Yang Lin spoke a few more words in Japanese.
Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and others were stunned. Although they did not understand the meaning, they could tell that it was Japanese.
Because the New 1st Regiment had captured many Japanese prisoners, that's how those little devils spoke.
It is not difficult to imagine that with the existence of a guy like Yang Lin, the Japanese devils in northwestern Shanxi will probably have a hard time in the future!
After calming down his inner shock, Li Yunlong pointed in the direction of Yujialing and said, "Brother Yang Lin, we should not stay here for long. Although the enemy has lost their command system, their strength is still there. Once they regain unified and effective command, it will not be easy for us to break out again!"
"Yujialing is a weak spot in the Japanese blockade firepower. We will break out from that direction!"
"yes!"
Zhang Dabiao next to him responded and was about to convey the military order.
"Wait a moment!"
Yang Lin called Zhang Dabiao and suggested to Li Yunlong: "Captain Li, I have carefully scouted the enemy's firepower deployment and the nearby terrain."
"Although the Japanese have not deployed many troops in Yujialing, the terrain is too open and there is nothing to block us. If we break out there, we will be sitting ducks for the Japanese's heavy machine guns, and it will be difficult to shake off the enemy's pursuit."
"Brother Yang Lin, which direction do you think we should break out from?"
Li Yunlong felt that what Yang Lin said seemed to make some sense, so he wanted to hear his opinion.
"Lijiagou!" Yang Lin said, "The enemy doesn't have many troops deployed there, and the terrain is complex. There are also trees for cover, which is undoubtedly more suitable for us to break out!"
Li Yunlong nodded. When wolves are chased by hunters, they often choose to escape on more rugged paths rather than flat and easy roads.
Because the main road is not only easier to catch up with, but may also be filled with traps.
Zhang Dabiao reminded him, "Captain, once we leave Lijiagou, we will be in the territory of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. If we rashly enter their defense zone, will it cause any misunderstandings or friction?"
Yang Lin said: "Behind Lijiagou is the defense zone of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. The commander of the 358th Regiment is named Chu Yunfei. I know a thing or two about him. He is loyal, brave and patriotic. He advocates the joint resistance of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. He will definitely not embarrass our friendly army!"
Yang Lin watches "Bright Sword" several times every year and has a clear understanding of the characters' personalities, especially the two protagonists Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei.
"No matter who is attacking Ping An, our 358th Regiment will definitely help!"
I especially remember Chu Yunfei's words. Of course, there is another line that has been modified countless times: "Brother Yunlong, it's 2021 now. Look at the equipment of my battalion..."
Therefore, Yang Lin could not guarantee the situation for other Jinsui troops, but Chu Yunfei would definitely not make things difficult for his friendly forces, and would even provide help when necessary.
"boom!"
“Boom boom boom!——”
Suddenly, there was a shocking explosion.
"Where did the gunfire come from?"
Yang Lin and Li Yunlong's expressions changed.
At this time, a scout ran over in a hurry: "Commander, it's the Japanese artillery position, the Japanese artillery position has been bombed!"
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Yang Lin's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Captain Li, it must be Captain Chu Yunfei who came to support us!"
"This is a rare opportunity. Don't hesitate any longer. Break through now!"
Li Yunlong was still hesitating whether to break out from the Lijiagou direction. After all, both the brigade commander and the superiors had repeatedly ordered that no unnecessary disputes or frictions should be made with the national army.
Chiang Kai-shek in particular was worried that he would not have the opportunity to cause trouble for the Eighth Route Army.
The sound of the cannon undoubtedly dispelled his last doubts.
He immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Brothers, break out in the direction of Lijiagou! Charge!!!"
After the order was given, Yang Lin and Li Yunlong's troops took the wounded and rushed towards Lijiagou together.
The soldiers of the New 1st Regiment were as brave as wild wolves. The rebel troops were equipped with 50 MP18 submachine guns with powerful firepower.
Under the command of Yang Lin and Li Yunlong, the two troops cooperated with each other, took turns to cover the breakout, broke through the enemy's blockade lines, and rushed to Lijiagou with unstoppable momentum!
