Chapter 218 Abandoning the Original City
Chapter 218 Abandoning the Original City
However, Bai Luo was not so ruthless in the end. While Li Yilong was attacking the armory, Bai Luo took the opportunity to sneak into the remaining Japanese warehouse and put in a large number of Japanese weapons.
At 9 a.m. that day, with the help of two regiments sent by the Red Party headquarters, the Red Party completely wiped out the Japanese soldiers in the original city.
At 9:30 a.m., a red flag was planted on the city wall of the former city.
"Ah...we've taken Yuan City! Hahahaha..."
When the red flag fluttered on the original city wall, the First Regiment of the West and the two regiments that came to support them erupted in a thunderous roar.
Every Red Party fighter's face was beaming with excitement.
Bai Luo and Sha Niu were standing in front of a woman who looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
The two men hung their heads as they listened to the woman's concerned words.
The person who came was Bai Xiumei.
She had just arrived in Xi Province last night. Upon hearing at the Xi Province headquarters of the Red Party that Bai Luo was currently in Yuan City, she disregarded her fatigue from the continuous travel and immediately drove Bai Luo's cat car to Yuan City.
He gave the two a few words of advice.
Bai Xiumei looked at Bai Luo, who was hanging his head in front of her.
He burst out laughing.
"Alright, little radish, I won't say anything more to you."
He reached out and pinched Bai Luo's dirty little face hard. Then he pulled the silly girl into his arms.
"Come on, you two have been busy all night. Let me treat you to a good meal first, and then you can get some rest."
Bai Luo didn't react at all upon hearing this.
The silly girl immediately raised her head, her eyes sparkling as she stared blankly at Bai Xiumei and said...
"Auntie, I want to eat your braised pork."
"Okay, okay, Auntie will make it for Silly Girl later."
After saying that, he kicked Bai Luo, who was still in a daze, signaling him to follow.
Bai Luo turned around and kicked the silly bear that was taking a nap on the ground, signaling it to follow.
The silly bear was woken up by Bai Luo's kick and followed behind Bai Luo in a daze.
The group of three people and a bear walked into the city.
When Bai Luo woke up, it was already dark outside.
Bai Luo sat on the bed, stretched, and looked out the window.
Looking out the window, I saw that Silly Girl and Silly Bear, who had already gotten up, were helping their aunt cook.
"The system has opened the battle results page."
"Battle over. The host has killed 4834 Japanese soldiers, including two lieutenant generals, one major general, nine colonels, thirteen lieutenant colonels, and twenty-one majors. The host has earned 219960 points and has completed the achievement of 38000 kills. The reward is a fully automatic medium-sized heavy artillery base."
Note: "Medium-sized heavy artillery emplacement base, consisting of 30 2A36 160mm field guns, fully automatic ammunition loading, maximum rate of fire 10 rounds per minute, maximum range 40 kilometers. (Available for collection) {Caliber and range are listed with reinforcement comparisons.}"
"Phew. Finally, another artillery barrage. And these are retrievable heavy artillery pieces. The Japanese will probably feel a lot of pain from these, right?"
"What do you mean, 'it hurts'? You little brat, you're awake now, so hurry up and wash your face and get ready for dinner."
As soon as Bai Xiumei entered the room, she saw Bai Luo muttering something to himself. She looked at Bai Luo on the bed with annoyance and scolded him.
But her eyes were filled with loving gaze as she looked at the little figure on the bed; this was her pride.
"Hey, hey, Auntie, I'll get up right away."
Distracted by her aunt, Bai Luo quickly jumped out of bed and ran outside.
The silly girl outside had already prepared hot water. After Bai Luo finished washing, she immediately followed the silly girl to the dining table inside the house.
Soon after, Bai Xiumei's roar came from inside the house.
"You two eat slower... Little Radish, why are you stealing the silly bear's steamed bun?! It's not even two years old yet and it's still growing!!!"
Bai Luo glanced at the silly bear, who had been fattened up by the silly girl.
He sighed silently to himself.
Indeed, love doesn't disappear, it just moves on.
In contrast to the harmonious atmosphere on Bai Luo's side, things were not so good on Li Yilong's side.
"Hahaha, Li Yilong, congratulations on your fortune! How about it, are you stuffed in Yuan City? Headquarters is almost starving. Here's what we'll do: we'll leave you one-tenth of your food, and send the rest to headquarters."
Li Yilong's legs trembled when he heard his boss's outrageous demands; he hadn't done anything all afternoon.
The phone line has been running nonstop ever since it was connected.
They're all nouveau riche who came to beat up Old Li.
Li Yilong spoke into the microphone with a bitter expression.
"Sir, there really isn't much. The brigade commander just called and asked me to send a batch of weapons. If you ask for so many, I'll have to pay out of my own pocket..."
"Bullshit! The Japanese military depot in Yuan City has so many weapons, how could there be so little? Even if your brigade commander wanted some, it wouldn't be worth you paying extra."
Li Yilong couldn't help but complain to Liu Cheng about this.
"The Japanese armory has been robbed..."
Half an hour later, Liu Cheng learned the details of the battle from Li Yilong.
"Alright, send half back to headquarters. No more haggling, that's an order."
"Yes."
What could Li Yilong say but have to swallow his pride and accept it?
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Li Yilong asked again.
"Boss, who will take over the defense of Yuan City from now on?"
"You assemble the troops tonight, and the KMT members will come to take over tomorrow."
Li Yilong was stunned when he heard this. Had he heard correctly? The KMT?
"Boss, were you referring to the KMT just now?"
"um, yes."
At this point, Liu Cheng's words carried a hint of helplessness.
"Why should we, boss, give up Yuan City, which we worked so hard to conquer, to the Blue Party?"
Li Yilong lost his temper and immediately questioned him.
"Li Yilong, who are you yelling at? Can you defend Yuan City if I give it to you? The surrounding counties have all been occupied by the Japanese. Can your West First Regiment hold it?"
Liu Cheng reprimanded Li Yilong over the phone.
Feeling that he had spoken too harshly, Liu Cheng continued.
“I know it wasn’t easy for you to win this battle. You’re taking 3% of the supplies from this exchange with the Blue Party. Our Red Party doesn’t yet have the strength to confront the Japanese head-on, so giving them to the Blue Party is a last resort. It’s better than having the Japanese take them back.”
After hearing Liu Cheng's explanation, Li Yilong on the other end of the phone fell silent.
Yes, they simply don't have the strength to defend such a large city.
After hanging up the phone.
Zhao Gang, who was standing to the side, patted the silent Li Yilong on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Alright, Lao Li, this order from headquarters was a last resort. I believe that one day our Red Party will become strong again, and we will never have to hand over the cities we've worked so hard to conquer!"
Li Yilong glanced at Zhao Gang, who had a serious expression.
He nodded heavily.
9am the next day.
The original city's west gate was wide open.
At this moment, Bai Luo was driving the cat car with Silly Girl, Auntie, and Silly Bear, waiting in the Red Party's ranks for the Blue Party to arrive.
Not long after, a unit carrying the Blue Party flag was rapidly approaching.
After the handover was successfully completed, Li Yilong returned to the advance station with a large amount of supplies.
Bai Luo, along with Bai Xiumei and Kaisu, headed towards the headquarters of the Western Province.
Bai Xiumei came with a mission.
