northernbook Chapter 139: Command
Chapter 139: Command
"Where is the devil prince? I need to open my eyes. I have fought in wars all my life, and I have never even seen a major general!"
"You said this damn prince was beaten to death by you. Where is his body?"
Li Yunlong really couldn't believe what Lin Tian said, and shouted that he wanted to see it with his own eyes.
Lin Tian waved his hand and asked two soldiers to carry Xian Gong Yihe who was lying in the bomb crater.
Soon, two soldiers came over carrying the already dead Xian Gong Yihe, and also brought Xian Gong Yihe's command knife.
Xian Gong Yihe was still wearing the military uniform of a sergeant, but the command sword with an ivory handle attracted the attention of Li Yunlong and others.
"Wow, Lao Li, this is an ivory handle! I heard from the comrades at the headquarters that only the Japanese royal family members are qualified to wear this kind of ivory-handled command sword!"
"It seems that Commander Lin and his men did kill a prince!"
Kong Jie grabbed the command knife, started playing with it lovingly, and said excitedly.
"That's true. When I was studying in Yanjing, I also heard from my teacher that this ivory-handled command sword can only be worn by members of the Japanese royal family."
"Commander Lin, do you want to report this to the headquarters? This will have a huge impact. If it is reported, it will greatly encourage the morale of our Chinese soldiers and civilians in the war of resistance!"
Zhao Gang also touched the handle of the knife and found it was indeed ivory. He said excitedly.
Li Yunlong and Ding Wei also came over. The knife proved what Lin Tian had just said.
Although everyone knows that Lin Tian would not talk nonsense or brag.
But after seeing it with my own eyes, I was still shocked.
"Haha, Political Commissar, I was thinking of reporting the results to the headquarters after the battle is over. After all, there is still the fat piece of meat waiting for us, the 36th Division of the Japanese devils."
"Let's not bother Mr. Lao and his men anymore. We only need to send the battle report once..."
"How about this? All three captains are here this time. I heard that you brought more than 8,000 people with you, hehe..."
"How about we join forces and take down the 36th Division at once?!"
Lin Tian chuckled and set his sights on Li Yunlong and the others.
"Haha, there's no problem for me and Lao Ding. It's my dream to fight a big battle with Commander Lin."
"A division? My goodness, we put so much effort in last time, but at most we only killed half a brigade of the devils."
"Following Commander Lin this time, we will definitely have meat to eat. It's so satisfying! So satisfying! A division, we can't even imagine it in this lifetime!"
"If we eat this, our three groups will be able to satisfy our local rich man's addiction!"
Kong Jie took two puffs of his pipe and answered excitedly.
He had just listened to Lin Tian talk about so many battle achievements and was already very excited.
Another thing is that Lin Tian is not as stingy as Li Yunlong.
The spoils of this division will be so great that their three regiments will not be able to divide them all.
Ding Wei also nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, Lao Kong is right. If we can do something big with Commander Lin, our lives will not be lived in vain!"
"A division, he's now missing a regiment, at most he'll have more devils."
"We have at least more people on our side, and we are victorious, so our morale is high."
"Besides, Commander Lin has all kinds of tanks and cannons. The Japanese equipment cannot compare to ours."
"His division has at most a hundred artillery pieces, and we have at least five hundred in total!"
"If this battle is commanded properly, I think there is a good chance that we can completely wipe out the 36th Division!"
"We couldn't even imagine such a great victory. Fortunately, we have Commander Lin. I, Old Ding, can also benefit from it this time!"
Ding Wei’s meaning was very simple, that is, if their three groups were combined with Lin Tian, he felt that the four of them were very strong now!
"Hey, you two, why do you sound like you want to hang out with Lin Tian?"
"We just agreed that since the brigade commander is not here, everything will be under the command of Lao Li!"
"Don't think that whoever has milk is the mother!"
When Li Yunlong heard what Ding Wei and Kong Jie said, he immediately felt that a crisis was coming.
Could it be that he really had to listen to Lin Tian's command this time? !
How can I be so embarrassed as to do this?
But following Lin Tian did allow them to eat meat. Compared to Lin Tian, their previous fights against the Japanese were just like playing house.
In one battle, we could kill thirty or forty Japanese soldiers and seize two Type 99 light rifles. We were so happy that we couldn't sleep for several days.
Unlike Lin Tian, who could easily wipe out an entire brigade of the Japanese.
Now they are targeting their division.
It's so irritating that people are so different from each other.
"Hahaha, Lao Li, you're right. Lao Ding and I did say that you can take charge of the command temporarily while the brigade commander is away, but this is also for the purpose of ensuring that the troops can advance and retreat in an orderly manner and exert their greatest combat effectiveness."
"Now that Commander Lin is here, do you think your command level is higher than Commander Lin's, or Commander Lin's rank is not as high as that of a brigade commander?"
"If you think you can do it, show me how to wipe out an entire brigade of the Japanese."
"Then of course we will obey the command of the leader. You, Li Yunlong, are the same as the two of us. You are the head of the regiment. Isn't it reasonable for you to obey the command of Commander Lin?"
Kong Jie teased Li Yunlong while smoking.
Ever since Lin Tian appeared, he has never been bullied by Li Yunlong again. On the contrary, he can now bully Li Yunlong. How could he have enjoyed this blessing before...
"You are such a fool, are you deliberately setting a trap for me?!"
"He calls me Commander Lin all the time, more affectionately than his wife!"
"Old Li is flexible, and Lin Tian is from our independent regiment, so he should just follow orders!"
"Look how happy you are, even happier than when his mother got married!"
Li Yunlong glared at Kong Jiedao.
Since Kong Jie and Ding Wei both accepted Lin Tian's command, Li Yunlong had no choice but to put the overall situation first. The independent regiment could also listen to Lin Tian's command.
I can only satisfy my brigade commander addiction later...
"Commander Lin, we were originally ordered to support the Jinsui Army in Rongcheng."
"Changing the target midway is already disobeying orders. If you don't report it, the headquarters will definitely investigate."
"I think we still have to report to headquarters."
Zhao Gang thought for a moment, looked at Lin Tian, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke.
Although he was not the political commissar of a division, he was also the political commissar of an independent regiment appointed by his superiors.
Then he has to fulfill his duties and give the necessary reminders, even if it might make Lin Tian unhappy.
"Well, Political Commissar Zhao is right, but let's wait until the battle is over before reporting to the headquarters."
"We won't bother General Lao and the others with this matter. Once we defeat the 36th Division of the Japanese, we will naturally head north to Rongcheng."
"Originally, after we killed Fangchengdi's devils, we also wanted to support Rongcheng, but a devil prince showed up halfway and disrupted our plan."
Lin Tian said.
Zhao Gang was a good comrade who was dedicated to his duties and a Confucian general who was both civil and military. He admired him very much.
If there is a chance, Lin Tian also wants to pull Zhao Gang to the first division...
