Chapter 28 The Brigade Commander Came in Person The former Japanese command headquarters in Linyuan County. The current new regiment headquarters. Logically speaking, as the commander of the New 1st Regiment, it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Yunlong is the master of this regiment. But now he was standing in the middle of the hall in a standard military posture as if facing a powerful enemy. In front of him was a big, leather-jacketed man sitting on a throne. After Zhong Zhicheng handed the other party a cup of tea, he quickly fled out of the hall. By the way, he also called away the nearby guards. "Tsk, tsk, what a good tea." "Li Yunlong, you really know how to enjoy yourself. The headquarters of your regiment is even more luxurious than the headquarters of the general."
“Even this tea is good. The boss can only drink some broken wine. You can still drink such good tea, you can do it. " This person was none other than the brigade commander. After learning that Li Yunlong had taken a county town with the New 1st Regiment, Without waiting for any letter from the headquarters, he led his men directly to the New 1st Regiment. The brigade commander really didn't expect that Li Yunlong would be so bold. With just a regiment, he dares to attack the county town! He knew that Li Yunlong would definitely not behave well after he left. But he only thought of Li Yunlong leading his men to attack the strongholds, take down the artillery towers, or attack the towns. But he really didn't expect that Li Yunlong would dare to attack the county town! "Hey, Commander, this is none of my business. I am a rough guy and I don't drink tea at all. The tea leaves were from the Japanese headquarters. As for the regiment headquarters, I just want to avoid wasting such a good place. Too many Japanese soldiers died here, it's unlucky, I can't even sell it, so I can only live here by myself." The brigade commander listened to Li Yunlong's explanation and glared at him: "Oh, are you still feeling wronged? Okay, tell me the truth, how much benefit did you get this time?" When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately felt something was wrong: "Brigade Commander, don't even think about getting any benefit this time. We are almost losing everything we have." "I am almost dying of poverty. You saw on the way here that many of my soldiers don't even have guns or decent clothes." Listening to Li Yunlong's words, the brigade commander did not say anything, just looked at him with a smile. He did see what Li Yunlong described, and there was indeed no problem. After he entered Linyuan County, he saw Eighth Route Army soldiers patrolling with swords and rifles on their backs more than once.
Especially after entering the county town, we saw a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers in tattered uniforms standing guard with some old Hanyang-made rifles. What’s even more exaggerated is that when he passed by a soldier, the bolt of the old rifle in the soldier’s hand actually fell directly to the ground! If you don’t know, you might think that this Eighth Route Army was extremely poor. But who is the brigade commander? Even if he doesn't know the real situation, he can tell there is a problem from the soldiers' expressions and some of their habits. How can the faces of soldiers in a poor and destitute army be so rosy? When did a group of impoverished soldiers start smoking cigarettes one by one? The most important thing is, when will a soldier whose clothes and weapons are tattered be able to wear the Japanese devils' brand new leather shoes? You don’t have money to buy clothes and weapons, but you have money to buy shoes, right? "Okay, Li Yunlong, since you don't want to talk about this, let's talk about something else." Li Yunlong felt a little numb inside when he saw the brigade commander staring at him and smiling. Now that he heard that the brigade commander was no longer talking about equipment and was preparing to talk about other things, he was so happy that he couldn't contain himself. "Okay, Brigadier General, let's talk about something else." "Then let's talk about you mobilizing troops without permission." Li Yunlong was stunned when he heard the topic the brigade commander started talking about. "No, Brigadier General, didn't we agree on this at the beginning?" "You promised me that as long as I can get the equipment, I can mobilize the troops myself..." "Stop, stop. When did I ever promise you that you could mobilize troops without authorization?" The brigade commander interrupted Li Yunlong and continued, "Who can prove it to you? Or is there a written order from me?" "No, Brigade Commander, you admitted it with all your heart at that time, you can't deny it now, can you?!" "Stop talking nonsense, Li Yunlong. I'll give you two choices. One is that we continue to talk about equipment. The other thing is that I will report to the headquarters and hold you accountable for mobilizing troops without authorization!" The headquarters learned that Li Yunlong had mobilized troops without authorization. But Li Yunlong didn't know, and the brigade commander couldn't tell Li Yunlong. He came here with the order from the headquarters to punish Li Yunlong. To make Li Yunlong feel distressed. There are not many things that can make Li Yunlong feel distressed, and one of them is equipment. The brigade commander also made up his mind to get a batch of equipment from Li Yunlong that would hurt him. In this case, it is naturally impossible to tell Li Yunlong that the headquarters already knows that he has mobilized troops without authorization. And headquarters was ready to give him a warning. After listening to the brigade commander's words, Li Yunlong realized that the brigade commander was coming for his equipment. "Commander, you are robbing!"
"Li Yunlong, if you say one more thing I don't want to hear, I'll leave right away." "You don't want to be the leader, but there are plenty of people who want to be the leader!" "Who do you think you can hide your tricks from?" "Carry a broken gun and a broken knife, wear a broken clothes, Knowing that I was coming, you sent Qin Yangming to prevent me from seeing his vanguard camp, and you thought you could hide it from me?" "You are too young to play tricks on me!" "When I was carrying Zhongzheng on my back, you were still working as a bamboo craftsman." Li Yunlong listened to the brigade commander talking about his little thoughts in detail. No matter how reluctant you are, you have to obey. "Brigade Commander, you have to ask our political commissar about this matter. You know, I, Li Yunlong, can’t read a single word, so these logistical matters are basically the responsibility of the political commissar.” The brigade commander also understood this fact, so he asked someone to call Zhong Zhicheng over. "Brigade Commander, because this time the puppet troops have basically surrendered, So the rifles we seized this time were mainly Type 38 rifles, about 2,200 in total.” "There are more than fifty light machine guns and more than a dozen heavy machine guns." "As for mortars, there are only twelve 60mm mortars, and not many shells, only about 400." "Three Type 92 infantry guns, with about 500 shells." Seeing Zhong Zhicheng stop, the brigade commander who was drinking tea asked in surprise: "No more?" Zhong Zhicheng nodded: "These are basically all the spoils of war this time, and the rest are the equipment of some landlords or bandits." "The equipment is too diverse. We haven't finished counting it yet. There are probably about 500 rifles and a few light machine guns." The brigade commander nodded and then said, "Li Yunlong, you keep 500 Type 38 rifles. I won't leave you any light or heavy machine guns." "No, Brigadier..." "Every squad in your regiment has a light machine gun, and a company has a heavy machine gun. Your equipment is already pretty good." "The headquarters also has to consider the overall situation. Many troops don't even have a few decent guns." "Brigade Commander, what does it have to do with me if they don't have guns?" "I'm not a rich landlord, so it's not their turn to attack the local tyrants." "If you want guns, the Japanese have plenty of them." "You're going to rob the Japanese, why are you robbing me?" "If you have the ability, then eat meat. If you don't have the ability, then eat shit."
The brigade commander shook his head and said, "Li Yunlong, just vent your complaints to me. Stop shouting everywhere and keep your mouth shut." "Do you think everyone is as lucky as you? Who has your ability? Or does everyone have a Qin Yangming under his command? Is it reasonable for a grown man to search for such a small piece of equipment? " "You're not as good as Qin Yangming. At least when I ask him for equipment, he won't be so stingy." "He's your nephew, so of course he won't be stingy. Brigade Commander, why don't you go ask your nephew for the equipment?" When Li Yunlong heard the brigade commander mention Qin Yangming, his eyes turned and he wanted to draw the brigade commander's attention to Qin Yangming. This kid's luck is really incredible. He was able to discover the armory by destroying a bandit's den. By beating a few traitors, we can find out the weapons and ammunition they purchased secretly. The one we attacked was a Japanese transport team that was carrying equipment. (End of this chapter)
