Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 432 After getting the supplies, we will go and get the gold back. What do you think, Captain

A day and a half later, Li Yunlong received reinforcements from the base and arranged a battalion to escort food and money back to the base. Under the guidance of Guo Wencheng, Li Yunlong led a large force to the first secret material storage point of the devils. The actions on the road were very careful, and they traveled at night to prevent the snakes from being cleaned up in advance.

"Shen Quan, tell the brothers to be alert. We have entered the enemy's lair. There are quite a few enemy troops in the surrounding counties. Tell the reconnaissance company to send out people and investigate the surrounding situation. We can't afford to fall into the enemy's encirclement without getting any meat. Otherwise, I, Li Yunlong, will become the laughing stock of the 386th Brigade. When the brigade commander sees me, he will have to whip me a few times. Not to mention that I can't afford to lose this person."

"Sanwazi, raise the barrel of the mortar high for me and be ready to fire at any time. There is no need to cover the gun at night. If a battle breaks out, it will take too much time to remove the gun cover!"

"Zhang Dashan, go tell the brothers to eat quickly. No one can survive without my permission. Take out our heating packs, heat up the canned food, and warm up some hot water so that the brothers can have a meal with the bread!"

After arranging the troops' camping and alert, Li Yunlong looked at Guo Wencheng and asked seriously, "Guo Wencheng, let's not beat around the bush. I saved you before, so you can't repay me with evil. I once saved a businessman and introduced him to a lot of business. As a result, after this old man made a lot of money from me, he immediately became greedy and wanted to control all the ways to make money. He also wanted to lower the price of the goods, which made me so angry that I shot him directly."

"Guo Wencheng, you flirted with the Japanese, so you must not be a good person. If I hadn't seen that you were a good person before, I would never have sent anyone to rescue you. Since you are a businessman, let's talk business. I spent nearly 20 to rescue you. Don't think I'm fooling you. This is the list of supplies for the dispatched troops. You can take a good look at it and confirm whether what I said is true?"

Guo Wencheng took the list with a look of suspicion, read it carefully, and calculated secretly in his mind. At first, he really thought that Li Yunlong was fooling him, but after calculating the contents on the list, he realized that what Li Yunlong said was true.

"Captain Li, my friend told me that a cannon shot would bring in a ton of gold. I thought he was kidding me, but after reading the list of supplies Captain Li gave me, I realized that my friend was not lying to me."

"I will definitely repay Captain Li for saving my life. I will also find ways to raise the money for the shells and reimburse Captain Li. I previously told Captain Li about the three secret storage points of the Japanese supplies, but I actually only knew about one of them. The other two were indeed a trick to deceive Captain Li."

"Captain Li, don't be anxious. Wait until I finish what I'm saying before. I had to say that to protect myself. Captain Li's credibility is beyond doubt, but we have never dealt with each other before. In addition, the Japanese kept saying bad things about Captain Li, which made me feel very uneasy."

"But after spending two or three days with Captain Li, I found that Captain Li is a man of character and worthy of trust. So I told Captain Li the biggest secret in my heart. I know the location of the secret vault of the Japanese Specie Bank. I found this out by accident. The Japanese found a lot of gold and silver mines in Shanxi Province and secretly carried out destructive mining. This matter was handled by the Japanese Specie Bank, and the Mitsui family provided support and protection. The cooperation between the two parties complemented each other. I also learned this secret by accident when I was helping Mitsui Taro."

"At this location on the map, there is a reserve of gold that the Specie Bank has secretly looted for three months. The amount is huge, but it is not easy to take it away. There are three squadrons of Japanese soldiers stationed here. It is still very difficult to take it down."

"I am a businessman. I will not do anything without profit. There is nothing to discuss. That is the duty of a businessman. I can help Captain Li get this batch of gold, but I also want 20% of it. If Captain Li agrees, we will take back this batch of gold after we capture the Japanese's secret storage point. What do you think?"

Li Yunlong was in a state of confusion. Although he didn't know whether this batch of gold actually existed, one thing he could be sure of was that Guo Wencheng was definitely eager to turn things around, otherwise he would not have bet everything on this batch of gold.

"Guo Wencheng, I really can't make the decision directly on this matter. I need to discuss it with others first. I will give you an answer before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning at the latest!"

"Monk, go and bring the prepared food over. I have some important things to do after dinner. Guo Wencheng, don't wander around casually after dinner. We have to hurry on our way. We must get to Baliqiao today, otherwise it will delay the rest of our trip."

While eating, Li Yunlong hurriedly sent Guo Wencheng's original words to the regiment headquarters. Lin Zhenhua and Zhao Gang, who received the telegram, gathered together again in a hurry and began to discuss.

"College student, I have never encountered this kind of thing before, and I'm a little confused about what to say right now. I'd like to hear your opinion first!" Zhao Gang asked with some hesitation.

Lin Zhenhua had not expected to encounter such a thing. He calmed down and considered the feasibility of this matter first, and then carefully considered whether this matter was a trap. After thinking for more than half an hour, he replied: "Old Zhao, this matter has only two results. Listen to my analysis first, and you will know which one to choose!"

"If this is a trap, the news about the batch of gold must be fake. The Japanese will never use real gold to set a trap for us. If they go wrong, then the matter will be really serious. Those guys in Ping'an County are really not so brave. It is impossible for them to pay a large amount of real gold and silver to lure Li Yunlong into the trap. Those guys are all misers, as can be seen from the previous incident at the Zhangjia Village market!"

"Once it is confirmed that this is a trap, we can reversely infer that Guo Wencheng is either a Japanese spy or a close confidant of the Japanese. No matter which one it is, this guy will not have a good ending in the end. He will definitely be killed on the spot by Lao Li to relieve his hatred."

"According to the information Lao Li sent us before, we can clearly judge that Guo Wencheng is definitely not a Japanese spy. He may have been a close confidant of the Japanese before, but he has been abandoned by the Japanese. He will definitely not board the Japanese ship again. Otherwise, the more than 100 people in the Guo family's escort team would have died in vain."

"Since this point has been ruled out, we can be sure that Guo Wencheng did not set a trap for us. The second inference becomes more credible. That is, Guo Wencheng did not lie. After he was abandoned by the devils, his property would definitely be taken away by the devils. It is said that some of his property was hidden in advance, but the amount is definitely not too large. Guo Wencheng is likely to be seriously injured this time. After all, the devils are very cruel, not only to their own people, but also to the merchants and puppet soldiers who surrendered to them."

"In order to revive the family business, it makes sense for Guo Wencheng to take the risk and cooperate with us to seize the Japanese treasury. In addition, we have sent fighter planes to escort them. Even if they use the Japanese trap, Lao Li can withdraw with his mobility and firepower advantages."

"The troops that went to support Lao Li were all motorized infantry battalions, and there was no water in them. The three-wheeled motorcycles are flexible and easy to turn around. Apart from their weak defense, they really have no other disadvantages. They can run normally even in the snow, and can exert great combat power in winter operations."

"Not to mention that Lao Li has an armored battalion under his command. If we really fight the Japanese, there is really nothing to be afraid of. There is also Sanwazi's artillery battalion. I have specially replenished three base numbers of artillery shells for him, so he can definitely fight with confidence."

"If Lao Li doesn't have enough ammunition, we can send a light transport plane to transport it. All we need is a flat open space for our light transport plane to land. Lao Li can get reinforcements and ammunition at any time. Even if this is a trap, it's worth a gamble."

"Our independent regiment is facing a financial crisis now. The transaction with Chu Yunfei is based on barter, which does not require money. However, the transaction with Chen Minggeng must be supplemented with money. The medicines we have are far from enough to pay for the goods. In addition, we have to keep some medicines for the war reserve, and we have traded a large amount of medicines to the 358th Regiment. This puts a lot of pressure on our medicine production. Due to the shortage of raw materials, the production capacity of medicines has been greatly affected."

"The only thing that is not affected now is the production of penicillin, but the price of penicillin is too high. If we put a large amount of penicillin on the market, it is likely to have a huge impact on the price. These days I have consciously increased the trading volume of penicillin to see Chen Minggeng's reaction. I thought penicillin was very popular before, but now it is not clear."

"Old Zhao, I think we can agree to Guo Wencheng's conditions. The 20% is worth it to buy information. Compared to the cost, our final gain is greater. As for the ammunition consumed, there is really no need to worry too much. As long as it is used to fight the Japanese, it is worth it no matter how much ammunition is consumed."

Zhao Gang became more energetic and said with finality: "I will go and reply to Lao Li now and agree to the deal with Guo Wencheng. The two of us will fully cooperate with Lao Li to complete the task of seizing the gold!"
