"Old Li, th-this..."
Zhao Gang froze.
His memories were still stuck at the moment before Li Yunlong had left.
At the same time.
The other soldiers of the Independent Regiment were frozen as well.
As for Li Yunlong at that moment.
His emotions were incredibly complicated!
Those ten days in the Primordial World.
Had felt like a hundred years!
Now that he had returned to this world.
Facing these former comrades.
Li Yunlong actually felt as though a lifetime had passed.
After steadying himself.
Li Yunlong considered how he should introduce them.
"Old Zhao, let me introduce you."
Li Yunlong introduced the classmates beside him one by one.
Once he had finished.
Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong as though he were an idiot.
The other soldiers of the Independent Regiment also stared at Li Yunlong and the classmates beside him in stunned disbelief.
Li Yunlong simply turned to Luffy and said, "Kid Luffy, come on, show them a special trick!"
"What?"
Luffy said.
Buzz!
Before Luffy could react.
Tushan Honghong rose straight into the air from the void.
Offensive Strategy
"She's flying?"
Watching Tushan Honghong ascend into the sky, Zhao Gang rubbed his eyes hard.
What was going on?
Could there really be immortals in this world?
Ones who could fly?!!
For a moment.
Zhao Gang stood there dumbfounded, unable to say a word.
The other soldiers of the Independent Battalion were also blank-faced with shock.
"Hahaha, do you believe it now?"
Li Yunlong burst into laughter.
Seeing Zhao Gang's utterly bewildered expression, he felt especially pleased.
"I... I believe it."
Zhao Gang was indeed worthy of being a political commissar. He quickly calmed down.
At the sight of this, his heart surged with emotion.
Li Yunlong had actually been taken in as a student by those immortals of legend.
And now he had returned.
With these people joining them, why would they have to worry about failing to capture Ping'an County Town?
Earlier, Li Yunlong had launched a battle on his own without obeying the orders of his superiors.
Zhao Gang had been deeply displeased.
He had thought it was sheer nonsense.
But he did not think so now. Nonsense or not, so be it!
First, they would take that county town—then they could talk!
"Old Li, let's move! Beat the hell out of them!"
Zhao Gang grabbed Li Yunlong's arm.
His face was filled with excitement.
He even burst into profanity.
Though he was a scholar, he had a bold and impassioned side as well.
Otherwise, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang would never have gotten along so well.
"Don't worry. We came back this time to take out that Yamamoto."
At the mention of Yamamoto Ippon, Li Yunlong gritted his teeth.
A fierce killing intent even shot from his eyes!
After cultivating to the Innate Realm, his strength had already become extraordinary.
The fluctuations of his emotions could manifest outwardly and shake his opponents.
"Let's convene a battle meeting immediately!"
Zhao Gang said decisively.
"Alright."
Li Yunlong nodded.
Li Yunlong was a rough-and-ready hero and did not particularly care for military democracy.
He had long since formed a strategy for attacking Ping'an County Town.
Thus, once the battle meeting began, he intended to directly issue orders.
But at that moment, Lin Ye and the others spoke up.
After all, he was from Blue Star.
He knew the timeline of Drawing Sword extremely well.
He knew that the assault on Ping'an County Town had actually gone very smoothly.
But there had been two regrets.
First, the Japanese forces had quickly sent reinforcements to Ping'an County Town.
In order to buy time for Li Yunlong, many soldiers from the Independent Regiment's First Company, as well as the county brigade and district squads, had sacrificed themselves.
To block the reinforcements, they fought until the very last man.
Second, Yamamoto Ippon had used Li Yunlong's wife, Xiuqin, as a hostage.
Li Yunlong had not compromised.
He fired a cannon shell, killing Yamamoto Ippon, but Xiuqin had also died in the process.
Moreover, the Japanese garrison in Ping'an County Town was not weak either.
It was not because their combat prowess was formidable.
Rather, their equipment far surpassed that of the Independent Regiment.
The Yamamoto Special Operations Unit even possessed a full set of American equipment.
M2 submachine guns, Type 92 Heavy Machine Guns, mortars, and the like.
With that arsenal, the Independent Regiment had suffered heavy losses during the siege as well.
Since they had come here to carry out the mission, they naturally had to make everything turn out perfectly.
Without a single regret.
So they had to pay attention to these points.
Thus, Lin Ye immediately explained it to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong had a forthright and straightforward personality.
He was very confident.
But he also possessed the magnanimity to accept others' opinions.
During their time cultivating at Divine Court Academy, he had also placed great trust in Lin Ye and the others.
After listening, he fell into thought.
In the end, he made the final decision.
"Alright. We'll still follow the original plan, but I'll need you to help protect every attacking force. Lin Ye, Ninth Uncle, Li Mang, Wang Qiang—you four will be responsible for intercepting the Japanese reinforcements. Tushan Honghong, Zhang Sanfeng, Feng Yuxiu, and I will be responsible for breaking through Ping'an County Town. With you joining us, holding off those Japanese forces and smashing through the city walls won't be a problem.
He truly displayed the bearing of an invincible general commanding an entire region.
Clear-minded, imposing, and decisive.
"Yes."
At such a critical moment, Lin Ye and the other eight naturally had nothing more to say.
Li Yunlong was a born commander.
Naturally, they had to listen to him.
Following Li Yunlong's arrangements would yield the greatest results and ensure the mission was completed more perfectly.
"Good, move out!"
At last, Li Yunlong gave the order.
Although Zhao Gang knew these people were all extraordinary.
