Chapter 217 Li Yilong's Fortune
Meanwhile, at the north gate of the city.
A man in his thirties stood on top of a tank and shouted loudly to the soldiers around him.
"Hurry, hurry, rush into the city!"
The person who arrived was none other than Li Yilong.
4 hours ago.
In the afternoon, Li Yilong received intelligence that there was a cavalry brigade of traitors in Wanjia County.
Upon receiving this news, Li Yilong felt like he was being torn apart, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to seize the cavalry brigade.
Moreover, with the tank as a powerful weapon, Li Yilong became bolder and decided to go and return quickly.
As a result, the newly arrived political commissar was imprisoned.
But as soon as they arrived in Wanjia Town, they heard the sound of an explosion in the original city.
Li Yilong only observed the area briefly through binoculars before continuing to lead his troops toward Wanjia County.
Li Yilong dared not think about Yuan City for the time being. After all, one must take things one step at a time. Taking down the cavalry brigade of the traitors in Wanjia County was the most important thing.
Once the army grows larger, Li Yilong will be able to take over Xiaoxiaoyuan City on his own.
Moreover, regardless of what happened in the city, this explosion will definitely slow down the Japanese reinforcements, giving him more time to take away the spoils.
But when Li Yilong took over Wanjia County, an even bigger explosion rang out.
The warhorses that had just been gathered were startled by the violent explosion and began to run wildly in all directions.
The Red Army soldiers around him hurriedly chased after the horses, but Li Yilong paid no attention to any of it.
His eyes remained fixed on the giant fireball in the sky above Yuan City.
"My goodness, are the Japanese undergoing a tribulation?"
Li Yilong looked at the mushroom cloud over Yuan City and muttered to himself.
At the same time, he realized that something big must have happened in the original city, and Li Yilong's eyes started to dart around.
Looking around at the seven tanks and nearly 3000 Red Army soldiers, Li Yilong felt he had the capability to observe what the Japanese soldiers in Yuan City were actually doing.
Is he really undergoing a tribulation?
Once the idea popped into his head, Li Yilong could no longer suppress it.
"Zhang Biao! Zhang Biao!"
"Commander, I'm here. What's up?"
Zhang Biao, who had just grabbed a horse, heard Li Yilong's shout and immediately led his horse to Li Yilong, who was standing on the tank.
"Go, arrange for a company to escort the horses back to the regimental headquarters. The rest of you, set off immediately with me to Yuan City."
"Ah, what about these 1000-plus traitor prisoners?"
Zhang Biao looked at the densely packed group of traitorous soldiers squatting on the ground not far away and said with some worry.
After hearing Zhang Biao's words, Li Yilong remembered that there was a bunch of prisoners next to him.
He immediately turned to look at the group of prisoners and lowered his head in deep thought.
"Or perhaps we should enforce battlefield discipline?"
Zhang Biao approached Li Yilong with a fierce expression and whispered something.
"Fuck you! You want me to get fired by the boss?"
Upon hearing Zhang Biao's unreliable suggestion, Li Yilong not only cursed him verbally but also kicked Zhang Biao lightly.
"Here's what we'll do: ask them if they're willing to follow me, Li Yilong. Those who are, go back to the regimental headquarters with the horses and hand them over to Political Commissar Zhao. Those who aren't, just disperse on the spot and go do whatever you were doing."
"what?"
"What do you mean 'huh'? Hurry up and go!"
"Yes."
Upon receiving the order, Zhang Biao immediately began to carry it out. But he secretly estimated that few of these traitors would be willing to follow him back to the regimental headquarters.
But to Zhang Biao's surprise...
Of the more than 1400 traitors, 1200 were willing to return to the regimental headquarters, while the rest wanted to go home to take care of their parents.
Li Yilong was overjoyed to see so many people willing to go back with him; it seemed his reputation in Xi Province was growing. But soon Zhang Biao dealt him another blow.
"Commander, didn't you tell me to lock up Political Commissar Zhao? Shouldn't you release him when we get back?"
Li Yilong's face immediately darkened; he had forgotten about it.
"Release them. The soldiers sent back will tell Political Commissar Zhao that a major incident has occurred in the Japanese city of Yuan, and that he should immediately notify the headquarters commander-in-chief, and it would be best if another regiment could be sent."
"Yes."
Li Yilong watched Zhang Biao's departing figure, then turned his gaze to the direction of Yuan City.
He murmured to himself.
"Whether it's a great achievement or a great demerit will depend on this..."
After Li Yilong had made all the arrangements, he led the remaining troops to the original city's north gate.
They had only gone halfway when they encountered a large group of people running out of the north gate.
Through the words of the local people, Li Yilong learned that the Japanese in Yuan City were indeed in big trouble, and that even the north gate of Yuan City was now wide open.
Upon learning this news, Li Yilong was overjoyed. He immediately ordered his troops to accelerate their advance.
He then led seven tanks and charged ahead towards the original city's north gate.
Upon arriving at the North Gate, they saw Japanese tanks preparing to block the city gate. Seeing this, Li Yilong immediately ordered the tanks to fire.
While the tanks blocking the city gate were still wondering why there were their own tanks outside the city, they discovered that one of the tanks from the Big Head had already opened fire.
"Boom."
The tanks inside the city gate were turned into fireballs before they could even react.
The tank commander, engulfed in flames, screamed as he crawled out of the hatch on top of the tank.
But soon there was no more movement, and the smell of roasted meat began to fill the city gate.
The civilians who hadn't yet come out of the city were terrified when they saw this scene and immediately turned around and ran back into the city. Before long, less than a company of traitors remained at the north gate.
Upon seeing this, Li Yilong immediately ordered the tank to accelerate forward. Taking advantage of the small number of Japanese soldiers, they rammed through the tank that had just been destroyed and rushed into the city gate.
Li Yilong jumped out of the tank and shouted behind him.
"The bugler blows the charge."
Time returns to the present.
Upon hearing the bugle call, the Red Army soldiers following closely behind the tanks immediately launched an attack on the surrounding Japanese troops.
Three Japanese tanks in the distance also noticed the commotion at the North Gate and began to turn back to the North Gate. They had received a request for reinforcements and were heading to support the West Gate.
Unexpectedly, something else happened at the North Gate.
Bai Luo led Sha Niu and Sha Xiong quickly toward the north gate, wanting to see which hero was so fierce.
The timing was perfect.
It took almost half an hour to get to Bailu near the North Gate, just in time to see the last Japanese tank being blown up.
The gunfire on this battlefield quickly ceased.
Bai Luo didn't expect that he was too late; the battle here had already ended.
Just as Bai Luo was about to peek out to see whose troops they were, he heard a loud shout.
"Leave some men to guard the north gate. Zhang Biao, you take the first battalion to take control of the Japanese armory. I can't have come here for nothing. Damn it, two of my tanks have been destroyed."
Upon hearing this, Bai Luo knew he didn't need to go look anymore; he already knew who it was.
But Li Yilong's trip was essentially a waste, as Bai Luo had taken away most of the Japanese soldiers' weapons.
However, the Japanese soldiers had enough weapons for Li Yilong to handle.
Bai Luo thought to himself with a hint of cunning.
