Zhao Gang and Xu Zilin this is the first time to meet, when they were studying at Yenching University, Xu Zilin was three years younger than Zhao Gang, Xu Zilin had long heard of his senior, who was a senior who threw his pen from Rong, during the 129 Movement, Zhao Gang was a man of the year at Yenching University.

Xu Zilin even took Zhao Gang as an example during his school days, but it is a pity that he did not catch up with the wave of the 129 Movement when he was three years lower than Zhao Gang, and he was close to Zhao Gang.

When meeting in the independent group, Xu Zilin warmly held Zhao Gang's hand, and his words were full of admiration: "Senior brother, I finally met you, I heard of your name when I was in school, and I have always taken you as an example during school. ”

"You're my junior at Yenching University?"

"Yes! Senior, I remember that you were the spear director's class! I'm three times lower than you, my name is Xu Zilin, you may not have heard of it, but I've heard of your name for a long time, senior, it's just a pity, I just arrived at school, and I heard that you have already joined the army. ”

Zhao Gang was surprised, after the accident was close, how rare it was to be able to meet his former alumni in this war-torn era!

Zhao Gang pulled Xu Zilin and said to Li Yunlong: "Lao Li, let me introduce you, this is my classmate at Yenching University, three years younger than me, I really didn't expect to be able to meet my junior here." Zilin, this is Li Yunlong, the head of the Independent Regiment. ”

Xu Zilin seemed to be taken aback, looked at Li Yunlong and said: "It turns out that you are the famous Commander Li, I have heard of you for a long time, everyone said that you are the general under Brigade Commander Chen, and when I saw you today, it really deserved your reputation." ”

Hahahaha –

Li Yunlong was still wondering where a hairy boy jumped out! It turned out to be Zhao Gang's junior brother, so he is also a college student.

Hearing Xu Zilin praise himself so much, Lao Li suddenly burst into joy, "What day is today, Lao Zhao is enough for a college student to be my independent group, today there are actually two Wenqu stars at once, don't say anything, Zhang Dabiao, go and prepare wine and food, Lao Tzu wants to drink with the intellectuals." ”

Zhao Gang was a little embarrassed: "Zilin, don't mind, Lao Li is used to his military career, and this is his temperament." ”

Xu Zilin said with a smile: "Senior brother, where is this, Head Li is hearty and straightforward, I, Xu Zilin, like to make such friends, since I want to drink, then I won't get drunk and go home." ”

Li Yunlong said happily: "Lao Zhao, I'm going to criticize you a few words, I am also an intellectual, both graduated from Yenching University, I remember the first time I invited you to drink, your kid gave me a cold face, look at your junior brother, you have to learn more from others." ”

Zhao Gang ignored Li Yunlong and just asked, "Zilin, did you come with a mission this time?" "The news that the headquarters is going to send a political commissar to the new third regiment has not yet been received by the independent regiment.

Xu Zilin nodded, "Yes, senior brother, the boss asked me to go to the New Third Regiment as a political commissar, I happened to be passing by here, and I heard that you are in the Independent Regiment, so I came to take a look." ”

Li Yunlong was stunned and said in disbelief: "What? You said you went to the New Third Regiment as a political commissar? ”

"yes!"

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other, the two were still discussing the matter of the political commissar of the New Third Regiment a few days ago, but they didn't expect the headquarters to make a move so quickly.

Zhao Gang is still very happy, Li Yunlong is even more happy for Han Feng, in Li Yunlong's mind, since Lao Zhao is a good example, his junior brother is naturally not a coward, and it is also his blessing to have such a political commissar.

Li Yunlong beckoned: "Don't stand outside and talk, Xiao Xu, listen to me, the new third regiment you are going to, the head of the regiment Han San is stunned that is my old subordinate and brother, I am very happy that you can go to the new third regiment as a political commissar, as the old head of the three stunned regiments, I will invite you to drink for him." ”

Xu Zilin did not refuse, although he seemed to be elegant, he smoked and drank a lot.

When the wine bureau was opened, Li Yunlong, in order to save face, took out a cigarette from the Three Forts that he was reluctant to smoke on weekdays.

This pack of cigarettes was still ordered by Li Yunlong from Chu Yunfei's kid, he saw Xu Zilin looking at the cigarette in his hand, and asked Xu Zilin meaningfully: "Xiao Xu, take two puffs?" ”

Xu Zilin generously took the cigarette, opened the cigarette case and pulled out one, he put the cigarette in front of his nose, first sniffed it, and then showed a look of enjoyment, "Three forts, a cigarette produced by the British and American companies in 1914, this is a rare famous cigarette, they all say that these three forts, Liu Guanzhang, the ancient heroes, this kind of cigarette is not easy to get, Captain Li has good skills and good taste!" ”

As he spoke, Xu Zilin skillfully wiped a match, aimed the outer flame of the match at the cigarette in his mouth, and inhaled it with his mouth, and in the spread of sparks, a puff of strong tobacco smell soon filled the entire room, as for the pack of three-fort cigarettes, he put it in his pocket.

Li Yunlong was dumbfounded, he secretly said that this kid had forgotten it, he had always obeyed other people's cigarettes, and this pack of three forts came from Chu Yunfei's hand like this, shouldn't this kid still want to get things from his old Li's hands?

Zhao Gang frowned, even if a Li Yunlong smokes, he is already a big boss, but Xu Zilin is his junior brother, a graduate of Yenching University, why can't he learn well at a young age?

Xu Zilin spoke at this time: "Alas, the country is in danger, I want to be a dignified seven-foot man but I have a weak heart, every time I think of this, my heart hurts, Fan Wenzheng often says, the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world, I am depressed, senior, you said that in addition to smoking to eliminate sorrow, drinking to forget the pain, what else can I do?" ”

As he spoke, Xu Zilin was furious, and a big smoke ring flew up abruptly.

Zhao Gang no longer frowned.

Although Li Yunlong felt that these words were crepe, and he didn't know what he meant by what worries and what he was happy, he could understand it somewhat.

He said in his heart, this is a cultural person, he worries about the country, and he makes so many twists and turns, looking at Xu Zilin's melancholy appearance, Lao Li's three forts are not good to open their mouths to ask for it anymore.

Then there was drinking, Xu Zilin and Li Yunlong originally wanted to have a good drink, but with Zhao Gang here, the two naturally failed to succeed.

When the wine was drunk, Xu Zilin spoke, "Head Li, I heard that you are the best at trading, I have a business here, I don't know if you would like to hear it?" ”

Li Yunlong, who was three points drunk, said: "You said to listen to it? ”

Xu Zilin said: "That's the case, you also know that I went to the New Third Regiment as a political commissar this time, and it was the first time I went to the New Third Regiment, so I can't do without a meeting gift!"

I have heard that although the county seat of Heyuan has been defeated, the difficulty of attacking the county seat is clear to Regiment Commander Li, and the losses of the new third regiment are very heavy, especially in the guns and ammunition, which have almost bottomed out, each soldier has less than three bullets, and I heard that more than half of the combatants have been killed or wounded.

Heyuan County was captured by us immediately after Ping'an County, will the devil give up? Of course not, if the little devil attacks next time, with that bit of ammunition, the new third regiment is afraid that it will soon be destroyed. ”

Although Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong were concerned about the situation of the New Third Regiment, they were always blind and knew nothing.

And this Xu Zilin said very solemnly, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang no longer doubted that it must have been from the headquarters.

Li Yunlong couldn't sit still, "Xiao Xu, what you said is true?" ”

Xu Zilin was silent, his expression solemn and serious.

Li Yunlong scolded: "Damn, this three stunned people, the situation is so serious, why don't you come to talk to Lao Tzu, although Lao Tzu does not make a loss-making business, but his brother is still willing to do it." ”

Xu Zilin said angrily: "Commander Li, that's what I mean, I hope to take a batch of equipment from you to solve the urgent needs of the new third regiment, of course, I won't treat you badly, there is nothing else in Heyuan County, I heard that the devil has transported a large amount of grain into it, I can exchange the grain for your equipment." ”

"Food!"

Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang, Zhao Gang's expression showed surprise, the most worrying thing about the independent regiment these days is food.

Li Yunlong couldn't sleep because of this, he only felt that the soldiers under his hands were not enough, but now it is better, the independent regiment is strong and strong, this mouth is more, there is more food, and the mountains of grain will soon see the bottom, even if Zhao Gang sent the soldiers out to farm, but the harvest always takes time!

If it drags on any longer, the fighters of the independent regiment will really have to drink gruel every day.

What's more, he still gave the equipment to the three stunned people, hearing that this kid's current situation is bad, Li Yunlong didn't think much about it, "Okay, you wait, I'll ask Zhang Dabiao to get you a company of equipment." ”

"A company...... Captain Li, I'm afraid it's not enough! After the commander of the Han regiment occupies Heyuan County, he will definitely recruit troops again to supplement the loss of troops in the siege, there are a lot of people in Heyuan County, this supplement, the new third regiment, which is already scarce in equipment, needs equipment even more, and the equipment of a company is only afraid that it is far behind!

I've heard that the Independent Regiment now has eight battalions, and as for food, I can prepare five thousand pounds for you. ”

"Can you do the Lord?" Li Yunlong was a little suspicious, the three stunned people were not a guy who was easy to be swayed.

Xu Zilin said: "I vouch for my personality!" ”

Li Yunlong hesitated for a while, and shouted: "Okay, Zhang Dabiao, let each battalion give up half of the company's equipment, which adds up to the equipment of four companies, you can do it immediately." ”

"Yes!"

Xu Zilin stood up, saluted Li Yunlong, and said solemnly: "Commander Li is wise and righteous, I thank you for Captain Han." ”

Li Yunlong nodded, finished drinking, and took advantage of the fact that it was still early to see off Xu Zilin with Zhao Gang, and sent a company to help Xu Zilin transport equipment.

At the time of parting, Xu Zilin said: "Old regiment leader, this way is far from the mountains and roads, and it is not easy for the brothers to transport equipment, otherwise, you can count the brothers of this company to support the new third regiment, as for food, I can promise you another two thousand catties." ”

…… Looking at Xu Zilin's distant back that blended with the white horse, Li Yunlong sighed with emotion: "Lao Zhao, your junior brother is a real person!" With him helping the three stunned, we don't have to worry about it. This time, the food problem was temporarily solved. ”

Zhao Gang nodded, but he always felt that there was something unspeakably wrong in it, and after thinking hard about it, he couldn't figure it out, and looked at Xu Zilin in the distance where he had already disappeared in a daze......
