Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 592 Lao Li: You can only blow up half of the wall!

"Monk, who the hell told you to install so much explosives? Can't you blow down half of the first floor of this office building built by the Japanese?"

Seeing that the monk used enough explosives to blow up the Japanese camp building into ruins, Lao Li couldn't help it. He kicked the monk on the butt and cursed.

"No, Commander, if they hadn't all been blown down by the Japanese, could they have left it there?"

The monk didn't understand why the team leader was still arguing with him about this issue.

"Captain, we are not short of explosives now. The current production is sufficient. The explosive packs we brought this time are enough."

The monk didn't dare to talk back to Lao Li directly, and just muttered to himself.

The leader patted the monk on the head and said, "Good monk, you are talking to me and you are talking back, right?"

The monk touched the place where Lao Li had slapped him, curled his lips, and didn't argue any further.

"I'm telling you, monk, we have to learn to save when we can and spend when we can, and use our good steel where it matters most. Look, we've blown up half of the Japanese office building, and when the Japanese come back, can they still live there or will they have to rebuild it?

Just continue living here. I guess these beasts won’t feel at ease living with this guy.

Just tear it down. I guess they'll have to spend more explosives.

I just want to disgust them!"

Li Yunlong said with a smile as he watched the soldiers loading explosives into the office building built by the Japanese.

The monk nodded. The captain's stinginess was probably something he would never change in his lifetime. But what the captain did was completely different from what he said. On the battlefield, the shells were not counted and were not worth the money.

The monk thought about it and thought that the regiment commander was not happy with him for killing more than a thousand wounded Japanese soldiers first, which made him miss the battle. He was being petty. Knowing that he couldn't argue with the regiment commander any more, the monk simply stopped talking and went back to work.

"Comrades, hurry up! We should blow up everything we can see that can serve as a shelter for the Japanese. Then we will force the Japanese to lie on the ground and fight us!"

Li Yunlong kept shouting and even tried to personally instruct the soldiers to install explosives several times, but was politely asked to leave by the artillery battalion commander Yang Xing. As for blasting, our artillery battalion has professional training, so you don't have to worry about it.

"Comrades, if we can't finish the mission within two hours, we should retreat. I estimate that by then the Japanese planes will have reacted.

Alas, it’s really not fun without a plane.

We didn’t bring any anti-aircraft guns, so we couldn’t even get in touch with the enemy’s aircraft. It was really frustrating.”

While giving orders to the soldiers, Lao Li was regretting why he had no planes and wondered if Lao Yu was not working hard enough.

If Yu Ye knew that Lao Li was now pushing his luck and wanted to take someone else's melons, he would just want to punch Lao Li hard on the head. Damn, it's only been more than a year, and there are almost all kinds of weapons on the ground. He's still not satisfied, and has forgotten that he used to treasure the two Type 38 rifles with smooth rifling?

......

While Lao Li and his men were busy carrying out civil engineering work in Shijiazhuang City, the Japanese high-ranking officials far away in Tokyo were in an uproar.

When the news that "Hata Shunroku died in battle and Shijiazhuang was occupied by the Eighth Route Army" reached Tokyo, the high-ranking Japanese officials could not even believe that the battle report was true.

Who is Hata Shunroku?

Now he is the highest person in charge on the Chinese battlefield, but he died for his country.

They had already known that the Kwantung Army that came south to support had suffered artillery fire at the Shijiazhuang Railway Station, and that Hata Shunroku was seriously injured, but they did not expect that Hata Shunroku would die for his country.

If this news is true, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the locust army on the entire Chinese battlefield.

It sounds like a great irony that the locust army was unstoppable in the southern battlefield, but was defeated by the Chinese army in the northern battlefield.

The words following Hata Shunroku's death were another heavy blow to the Japanese high-ranking officials present, making them see stars.

If the news of Hata Shunroku's death was due to his serious injury, then the capture of Shijiazhuang by the Eighth Route Army was something that all the Japanese high-ranking officials present did not dare to and had never thought of.

Iinuma Mamoru had an entire division stationed in Shijiazhuang. Only three days had passed since the Shijiazhuang railway station was bombed, and it was already captured by the Eighth Route Army?

What the hell are these for?

Subsequent more detailed battle reports came, indicating that the Kwantung Army's wounded soldiers' camp was surrounded by a large-scale force of the Eighth Route Army. Except for a very small number of dozens of locusts from the Kwantung Army's First Division who evacuated with the army, all other wounded soldiers of the Kwantung Army's First Division were almost wiped out.

The Japanese Tian Huang was so angry that his face turned blue. Seeing this battle report meant that the 1st Division of the Huang Army that went south to support the North China battlefield was completely wiped out, except for the remaining three or four thousand troops left in the Northeast, the entire 1st Division was almost wiped out and seriously damaged.

What was particularly unbearable for the Japanese Tian Huang was that, although the 1st Division was not the most powerful division, it was also a Type A division that was far ahead of other divisions. More importantly, the 1st Division had a strong symbolic significance because it was the Tian Huang's guard division. In a sense, it was the Huang family division.

According to the agreement reached between the Japanese and the Russians, the 41st Division would be transferred back to the Japanese homeland at the end of 1 to resume the garrison mission of Tianhuang. This time, the battle in Shanxi, North China was too disastrous, and after many earnest requests from Hata Shunroku, most of the 1st Division was transferred to the battlefield in North China.

However, at Shijiazhuang Railway Station, this elite among the elite troops did not even manage to deploy and were suffocated in the carriage by four missiles fired by the Eighth Route Army. The remnants who managed to survive were all killed by the subsequent siege troops.

The Japanese ministers below did not dare to breathe. Looking at the latest battle report and the angry Tianhuang, they felt pessimistic for the first time. A word emerged in their hearts at the same time: the decline of luck.

"Go, find out how Iinuma Mamoru lost Shijiazhuang! Find out how the wounded soldiers of the 1st Division died!"

The Japanese Sky Locust was furious. After such a crushing defeat, it needed to give an explanation to the entire Locust Army, especially those surviving Locust Army soldiers of its own 1st Division of the Imperial Guards Division.

"Yes!"

Someone knelt down and took the order and left.

There was silence for a long time, and Tojo Hideki reported: "Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is to recapture Shijiazhuang City. In addition, since General Hata Shunroku died for his country, a new person in charge of the Chinese battlefield needs to be reappointed."
