Chapter 5, Two Fierce Generals

Shouldn't such an outstanding student join the Central Army and receive the attention of Commissioner Jiang?

Not only Kong Jie, but also Li Yunlong believed that it was definitely Zhao Gang who saved Wang Ye

Old Li's reputation has long spread throughout the entire northwest of Shanxi

At this moment, Li Yunlong was truly taken aback by the unexpected favor he received

"Do you not also have a guard?" Li Yunlong said, "Then let Wei the monk serve as Comrade Zhao's guard."

"Old Kong, don't be so unconvinced," Li Yunlong chuckled and said, "My name, Old Li, is simply more renowned and effective than your Kong Erlengzi. Otherwise, why is it that only Wei the Monk and the talented student who returned from Germany have come to join me, while we don't see Shu the Monk, Wu the Monk, or the talented students who returned from France and the United States coming to join you?"

Li Yunlong?" Wei Dayong's expression changed, and he said, "Is the commander Li Yunlong?"

Zhao Gang is genuinely worried that Wei Dayong might harm Li Yunlong

A monk from Wei single-handedly defeated four enemies without any weapons

Observing the smug expression on Li Yunlong's face, Zhao Gang appeared to be deep in thought

As he watched Wang Ye and Wei Dayong depart, Zhao Gang sincerely remarked: "Commander, your title is truly effective. I exhausted all my efforts to persuade them, yet you merely mentioned your name and they willingly agreed to join our independent regiment."

Kong Jie fell silent, and although Zhao Gang felt that a fierce general like Wei Dayong should be assigned to the front-line troops, he was new to the position and did not want to oppose Li Yunlong on such trivial matters

"It is!" Old Gou saluted with military respect, leading Wang Ye and Wei Dayong away

Even Wei Dayong cast a look of astonishment at Wang Ye. He was confident that he could take down four or five enemies with his bare hands, but if he were to face more than a dozen opponents unarmed, he would likely have little chance of success

How is that possible? It doesn't seem right? Li Yunlong said, "It's genuine, I am indeed Li Yunlong."

Kong Erlengzi, what are you thinking? How could such a good thing come your way?

"Indeed, I cannot compare to you," Kong Jie said irritably. "However, since I have been so unfortunate, shouldn't you provide some compensation? Otherwise, let Wei the monk be my bodyguard"

Seeing Li Yunlong lying on the ground with his four limbs in the air, Wei Dayong still maintained his punching posture. Could Zhao Gang and Kong Jie not discern what had happened?

However, Li Yunlong's mere name is enough to make Wei Dayong willingly stay

Wang Ye also joined the Eighth Route Army out of admiration for the renowned Li Yunlong

Li Yunlong and several onlookers only felt that Wei Dayong was quick, knocking Li Yunlong down with a single punch, but Wang Ye perceived much more.

Li Yunlong laughed heartily, then turned his head and shouted, "Old Gou? Old Gou!"

"This was purely a stroke of luck," Wang Ye said hastily. "The enemy saw that I was left with nothing but a pair of shorts, so they let their guard down, which ultimately allowed me to find an opportunity to approach their machine gun team. I caught the enemy machine gunners off guard, took their machine gun, and with a single burst, I took out all those bastards.

On the way, he exhausted all his words but could not persuade Wei Dayong

Kong Jiedao: "I have recruited a fierce general"

Even if a gun is drawn, it is not a simple matter

Wang Yedao: "I am flattered, and I still need to learn from the regiment commander, the political commissar, and Deputy Regiment Commander Kong"

However, soon, a look of seriousness reappeared on Wang Ye's face

At that moment, Zhao Gang said: "Deputy Commander Kong, the fierce generals that Commander Li has recruited are likely not just one, but two."

Li Yunlong disdainfully said: "What is a mere Sakata worth?"

The result encountered a cunning thief on the way.

When did our old Li's reputation become so great

Li Yunlong also wore a face of disbelief, taking down a whole squad with bare hands, over a dozen little devils? Who would believe that

Wei Dayong pointed at Li Yunlong and said: "Commander Zhao, he ... ... "

Kong Jie felt both envy and jealousy; Old Li is truly fortunate

At that moment, Kong Jie asked, "Political Commissar, how did you manage to mobilize such a talented student?"

Li Yunlong pointed to Wang Ye and Wei Dayong, saying: "Change their outfits and arrange accommodation for them."

Hmm? Kong Jie and Li Yunlong turned their heads at the same time and asked, "Two fierce generals, what does that mean?"

Wei Dayong, this wine-drinking, meat-eating monk, still possesses some substance

No, such good fortune cannot be attributed entirely to that young man Li Yunlong

Zhao Gang suddenly became anxious

Just when I was about to lose faith in the anti-Japanese cause, I heard about the remarkable achievement of Commander Li leading the New First Regiment to defeat the Sakata Brigade head-on and kill Brigade Commander Sakata Nobutaka

When the time comes to divide the family property, one must take at least one with them no matter what

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard outside, Zhao Gang and Kong Jie also rushed out

Kong Jiedao: "Xiao Wang is truly remarkable, excelling in both literature and martial arts!"

Li Yunlong laughed heartily and said, "So straightforward, are we not going to look for the Central Army's 27th Division?"

Kong Jie originally thought that Wang Ye would be an advisor

What is a mere monk Wei worth?

Fortunately, Li Yunlong has been practicing martial arts since he was young

The result is a fierce general even more formidable than Wei Dayong

Wei Dayong's recent straight punch may seem unadorned, but it is, in fact, quite extraordinary

They took all my belongings, leaving me with just a pair of shorts

"It is indeed Li Yunlong," Wei Dayong said with great joy, "In that case, I will follow you and work together."

Old Li, congratulations to you

Another one is even more astonishing, as he actually took down an entire class with his bare hands

A common person would suffer serious injuries just by touching him with a single finger

"Old Li, look at how capable you are," Kong Jie laughed and scolded, "Do you really think of yourself as a hero of the rivers and lakes?"

Kong Jiedao: "You rascal, don't you already have a guard?"

So that's how it is. Li Yunlong let out a sigh, "I said it, if someone could single-handedly take down a squad of Japanese soldiers with nothing but their bare hands, would they still be human?"

Then he said: "You can go ahead and do it with me, Li Yunlong!"

"Hehe, this is all a small matter," Li Yunlong said with a hint of pride. "I can't say much about Shanxi, but in this little piece of land in northwest Shanxi, my name still carries some weight."

"What did you say?" Kong Jie doubted whether there was something wrong with his ears, incredulously asking, "Are you saying that he single-handedly took down an entire squad of Japanese soldiers with nothing but his bare hands?"

Thus, I decided to seek refuge with Commander Li

Immediately afterwards, they unfortunately encountered a squad of the enemy.

What happened today? Why did I encounter such a formidable person?

Xiao Wang is different from Monk Wei; assigning him as a guard would be a waste of his talents. I need to think this over carefully, " Li Yunlong pondered, " For the next few days, let him stay at the regiment headquarters to familiarize himself with the situation.

I see it as acceptable," Zhao Gang nodded and said

However, the situation of the Central Army on Zhongtiao Mountain is somewhat difficult to describe in words

"Yes," Wang Ye casually remarked, "I actually arrived at Zhongtiao Mountain last year"

Zhao Gang pointed to Wang Ye and solemnly introduced to Li Yunlong and Kong Jie: "Wang Ye, a Chinese expatriate in Germany, has studied military science at the Berlin Military Academy; he is truly an outstanding student"

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie stood there in a daze, a high-achieving student returned from Germany

This punch, in terms of force, angle, and speed, has reached its utmost limit; it is absolutely impossible to achieve this level without tens of thousands of tedious and monotonous repetitions in practice

Li Yunlong walked back to Wei Dayong's side

Are you coming for me

Zhao Gang then said: "How should Xiao Wang arrange it?"

"No, no, no, Deputy Commander Kong, you are mistaken," Zhao Gang waved his hand and said, "I did not save anyone, and Xiao Wang did not need anyone to save him; he single-handedly took down a squad of Japanese soldiers with his bare hands!"

At this moment, Li Yunlong finally regained his composure, and while struggling to get up, he smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, we are just sparring, good lad, you have some skills!"

Li Yunlong scolded: "Wei Heshang was saved by Comrade Zhao, and staying in the Independent Regiment is also for my sake. Even if he wants to be a guard, it should be for Comrade Zhao, not for me. Why should he be your guard?"

"Deputy Commander Kong, I certainly do not have that capability." Zhao Gang waved his hand and then turned to Li Yunlong, saying, "Commander Li, Xiao Wang is also here for you."

This is a formidable individual who can single-handedly eliminate four enemies.

Wei Dayong, what are you doing

Even the overseas Chinese in Germany have already heard about it

Wang Ye stood at attention, saluting Li Yunlong and Kong Jie with a military salute.

Therefore, those who are tough and resilient have nothing to worry about

Li Yunlong chuckled, his face filled with pride

Kong Jie also has no objections

Having just recruited a fierce general like Wei Dayong, I have now also acquired an excellent advisor, who is a top graduate of the Military Academy in Berlin, Germany. It truly makes one envious

A cadre promptly ran out from the east wing, wearing a shrewd expression.

"No more searching, no more looking for it," Wei Dayong said, shaking his head repeatedly. "I have heard of your great name in the prisoner of war camp. You dared to engage in a fierce bayonet fight with the Sakata Unit and even took out Sakata with a single shot.

"Then it was the political commissar who intervened to save you?" Kong Jie inquired

Is there a mistake? How could such a talented individual come to this remote corner of Jinxi Northwest?

Commander, I truly admire a commander like you who dares to confront the enemy head-on and fight with bayonets. From now on, I will follow you.
