Chapter 513 Li Yunlong: I received the things. Now I have to talk about our soldiers who are missing
After this round of intimidation, the Japs became much more honest. Not only were the silver dollars they sent over sealed with red paper, which showed that they had just been withdrawn from the bank, but the amount of gold was also very solid and there was no shortage. This made Zhang Dabiao, who was at the front line of the battle between the two armies, sigh that none of these damn Japs were worry-free and they would only behave themselves after being beaten severely.
As for the items on the industrial equipment list, the Japanese moved quickly. Some of the equipment was taken directly from the Japanese warehouse, and the packaging was obviously intact. Another part was obviously dismantled from the factory in the city, and there was a lot of oil on it.
Since the Japanese invaders captured Taiyuan City, many core heavy industrial equipment were dismantled by the Japanese military and taken back to their homeland. The industrial equipment they have now was all rebuilt later, and is basically dominated by the Japanese invaders' newly built light industry, as well as a small amount of heavy industry that could not be moved, such as the Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant.
Now that the Japanese have taken out so many equipment, it means that they have really spent a lot of time and effort to plunder the factories in Taiyuan City during this period of time, and they will inevitably attack the factories invested by the Japanese themselves.
This can only mean one thing: the Japanese are really scared.
There is a sense of compromise in it.
Li Yunlong looked at the equipment brought over by the front-line troops, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"Captain, what's the big deal? They're just some lumps of iron. You're smiling like it's Chinese New Year."
The third battalion commander, Wang Huaibao, couldn't bear to watch it anymore and asked.
"You know nothing, kid. Usually I treat Minister Yu to a drink. This time, even if Taiyuan City is not captured, Minister Yu has to treat me to a drink!"
Li Yunlong rolled his eyes at the third battalion commander, but he couldn't suppress the smug look on his face no matter what.
"Go, go, Captain Three, don't stand here for me. Arrange people to transport the equipment sent by the devils to the rear as soon as possible.
Just in time to hand over to the trucks that were carrying the ammunition to us.
We can't let these trucks go back empty, that would be rude of us."
Li Yunlong said this with a chuckle.
"Yes, Captain, I promise to complete the mission!"
Wang Huaibao saluted and immediately went to arrange the work.
"By the way, Captain, what should we do with the silver and gold we seized?"
"What should I do? If you dare to lose any of these devices, I will skin you alive. You can install these silver dollars after all the equipment is installed.
Also, you better watch out when moving the silver dollars and gold!
Although I have enough trust in our independent regiment, military discipline must be strict when a large-scale military group is fighting!
If anything goes wrong, I'll still hold you responsible!"
Li Yunlong's words were very serious, like a steel knife placed on Wang Huaibao's neck, which made Wang Huaibao, the third battalion commander, shudder.
"Yes, leader!"
While arranging the reception, Li Yunlong ordered the signalman: "Go, report the equipment list sent by the Japanese to Minister Yu every half an hour."
After receiving Li Yunlong's telegram, Yu Ye, who was 100 to 200 kilometers away, immediately smiled and said, "Old Zhao, our Old Li has really caught a big fish this time.
Come and look at this list.”
Zhao Gang, who was still thinking about how to quickly restore the production capacity of Yukou Coal Mine, put down his pen after hearing what Yu Ye said, took the list and his eyes lit up instantly: "Old Yu, Old Li is really asking for an exorbitant price!"
"Hahaha, that's a really good price! But if Lao Li dares to ask for it, the Japanese must be willing to give it. However, it's pretty good that we can squeeze so much out of the Japanese this time!"
The light in Yu Ye's eyes could not be suppressed at all.
"But, Lao Yu, the fact that the Japanese were willing to give in shows that they were really scared. They never thought that we could defeat 20,000 or 30,000 Japanese with only 5,000 or 6,000 people.
Damn it, I have finally gotten rid of half of the anger I have been holding for so many years."
Zhao Gang is usually a very steady person, but unexpectedly, his emotions were a little out of control at this moment.
"Yeah, Lao Zhao, who would have thought there would be such a satisfying scene."
"Monk, go and pass on my order. Have the eight Type 59 modified tanks that came with me this time reinforce Taiyuan City at all costs!"
Yu Ye shouted towards the door, asking the 8 tanks brought this time to support the independent regiment in siege the city.
It can be imagined that after the Japanese army broke through the city of Taiyuan, they would inevitably organize tens of thousands of Japanese defeated soldiers in the city to fight a street battle, which would be very unfriendly to the soldiers of the independent regiment.
In the past, when our Chinese army was poorly equipped, we had to fight street battles to weaken the Japanese advantage when facing the Japanese who had a huge equipment advantage.
But, what kind of equipment do my independent regiment and the Eighth Route Army have now?
Do we still want to fight street battles with the Japanese?
Then hasn’t my coming here in vain?
"Old Yu, these eight tanks are sent to protect you, why are you......"
Before Zhao Gang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yu Ye: "Old Zhao, the more intense the fighting over there is, the safer we will be here.
After their eight Type 8 modified tanks set off, I retreated immediately and asked the 59nd Regiment to escort me back to Ping'an County.
That's my battlefield!"
Hearing that Yu Ye had made up his mind, Zhao Gang stopped trying to persuade him. He knew that Yu Ye was a man of strong ideas, and that once Yu Ye made up his mind, he would basically not change his mind.
Moreover, Ping'an County may really be the safest place in the entire Jin area now.
"Okay, Lao Yu, I'll stay here with the monk and the Fourth Battalion to help you look after the coal mine."
Zhao Gang said seriously.
......
Under the city of Taiyuan.
"Captain, the Japanese sent us their latest plaintext telegram. They said they really don't have the industrial equipment and components we want this time."
The signalman caught up with Li Yunlong who was inspecting the tunnel with a telegram in his hand, panting.
Li Yunlong's eyes widened: "What the hell are these devils up to? They almost emptied the entire city of Taiyuan from Old Yan, and now they tell me that they can't get anything out of him?
Are you trying to play tricks on me?"
Taking the telegram handed over by the signalman, Li Yunlong read every word carefully. From this telegram, Old Li realized that the Japanese could be so flexible.
It turns out that the Japs could be so polite when speaking. To some extent, they were even begging in a very tactful tone. Our locust army is really gone.
"Fuck it, I just want you to have nothing!"
Li Yunlong spat on the ground fiercely and cursed angrily.
"Signalman, go ask the headquarters where the other brother troops are. Give them an hour. If they don't arrive in an hour, don't blame us, Old Li, for eating alone!"
Li Yunlong immediately gave orders to the signalman.
He knew very well that there must be something wrong with the unusual situation. The Japanese were so flexible that they must be stalling for time to wait for their reinforcements. He could not delay any longer and had to take the initiative to attack at this time.
Li Yunlong held the telegram in his hand and looked in the direction of Taiyuan City: "Now that your industrial equipment has been drained, I will settle accounts with you for the loss of our soldiers under the city of Taiyuan."
