In the compound of the logistics department of the 386th Brigade, more than a dozen donkey carts were full and had just come in from outside the courtyard.

Logistics Minister Zhang Wanhe walked out of the room when he heard the news, and when he saw his old acquaintance, he was pleasantly surprised: "Yo, Grand Master Li, have you come to deliver the seizure?" I said, "If you hear a magpie cry today, something good will happen." ”

Li Yunlong laughed, but his laughter was full of helplessness and bitterness: "Minister Zhang listened to the call of a magpie, and what I heard was the call of a crow."

Two hundred and seventy long guns, ten short guns, three crooked handles, and seventeen shells, Lao Tzu was bleeding a lot. ”

It is not a lie that all seizures should be returned to the public.

The materials he said were handed over by the brigade commander after they were reported to the brigade headquarters. The remaining bit of weapons and equipment was distributed by their new regiment itself.

Therefore, Li Yunlong came here today and sent the capture to the brigade commander.

Faced with the complaints of his old comrades-in-arms, Zhang Wanhe didn't care, he walked to the donkey cart and looked at the ordnance and materials transported, then turned his head and said:

"I don't know you Li Yunlong yet, just thinking about taking advantage of the good thing. Just say that you are bleeding, not how much you take.

The bullets are white, these hundreds of sets of cotton clothes, let the quilt factory make it for you? And that grenade, your regiment is already very rich, and last time you took twenty boxes from me. The Brigadier has enough of favoring you. ”

Li Yunlong laughed when he was said, "That's right, the brigade commander is good to us, and we know it in our hearts." Isn't this a big victory, give the brigade commander a long face! ”

More than 300 devils and more than 200 puppet soldiers were eaten in one bite, which was enough to give the brigade commander a long face.

I heard that the division commander specially called to ask, and also talked about the previous battle of Shentouling, and the staff officer of the brigade headquarters said that the brigade commander was smiling very happily at that time.

The two chatted a few more words, and Li Yunlong couldn't sit still, "Lao Zhang, then you count, I'll go to the brigade commander first, and I'll invite you to drink when I'm done." ”

"Okay, okay, I know you can't wait, go to the brigade commander to receive the award." Zhang Wanhe waved his hand helplessly, signaling him to leave quickly.

Li Yunlong's quick temper can't be changed.

And when Li Yunlong left, Zhang Wanhe surrounded the dozen or so truckloads of supplies, and finally stopped hiding his excited look, and commanded the people in the logistics department to quickly count them.

It's not easy to be the logistics minister, there are just a few things, but there are too many units waiting for materials with their mouths open, and it is not easy to try to satisfy most people.

The batch brought by Li Yunlong is the most in recent months, and it is normal for him to smile from ear to ear.

Brigade headquarters, operational command room.

The most striking thing about the map hanging on the wall is the thick and thin black lines. The thick line represents the railway, and the thin line represents the road.

The thick and thin lines are densely packed, and the warp and weft are connected, like a huge net covering the map.

On military maps, the transportation network occupies a very important position, often marked by a striking black color.

Now the huge web woven by these striking black lines seems to be waiting for the prey, giving people a very oppressive feeling.

It seems that this is the habit of many military strategists, the brigade commander stands next to the map, staring at the black network on the map, thinking.

"Report."

Lee's loud voice broke the silence.

The brigade commander turned his head and glanced out the door, and saw that it was Li Yunlong coming, "It's really time to come, come in." “

"Hey, hey." Li Yunlong also seemed to know that he was disturbing the brigade commander's thinking, so he first smiled and behaved, "Brigade commander, I sent everything you wanted." ”

"You didn't discount me, did you?"

As soon as the brigade commander asked, as soon as he saw Li Yunlong's expression, he knew that this kid was playing tricks with him: "Say, where is the discount for me?" ”

"Brigade commander, everything else is fine, but I left fifteen mortar shells." Li Yunlong said that this was not a big deal, it was just a trivial matter, and there was no need for the brigade commander to ask such questions.

"You kid's little bit of fancy intestines, can Lao Tzu not know?"

The brigade commander was not polite to him, and pointed at him and said, "No, what are you leaving the shells for, you kid also detained the mortar, right?" ”

For the Eighth Route Army, artillery was a rarity. If an artillery unit is formed in the brigade, it is necessary to let the troops below surrender it after it is captured.

Li Yunlong's behavior is a serious violation of discipline.

But Li Yunlong also had a lot of crooked reasoning, he said: "Brigade commander, you can't bully people too much, your brigade commander has several cannons under his hands, and I am a main regiment commander, and I don't even have a single cannon, which is too cheap." ”

"That's why you're bargaining with me?" The brigade commander's eyes widened, he grabbed the horsewhip from the table, and as soon as he made a threat, Li Yunlong was so frightened that he shrunk his neck at that time.

Of course, it is impossible for the brigade commander to really whip him, after all, Li Yunlong has made meritorious contributions, not made a mistake and pierced the sky.

Rewards and punishments are clearly required.

Li Yunlong naturally knew this, otherwise he would have the confidence to detain a mortar. Light a lamp in the thatched house to find death!

Moreover, he didn't dare to talk about these credits, for fear of making the brigade commander think that he was arrogant.

Therefore, he had to change his angle and reason with the brigade commander: "Brigade commander, do you think, I now have such a cannon, I can be a surprise soldier, and if I can surprise the enemy, the more I can win the battle."

Two more victories in the future, hey, luckily, two more guns were captured. When the time comes, send it to you, the brigade commander, and you will earn two guns. You know better than me which one is worth it! ”

The brigade commander looked at him: "Okay, count you through, you remember this matter today, you owe me two cannons, and thirty shells." ”

"Ah, the shells have also doubled, you are darker than the landlord!" Li Yunlong's eyes widened and he felt very aggrieved.

"Why, if you don't want to, then send me something."

"Don't, don't!" Li Yunlong hurriedly waved his hand, "Brigade commander, I promised, I promised." The official level crushed people to death. ”

The brigade commander pretended not to hear his complaints, put down his horsewhip, turned his head and continued to look at the map.

Li Yunlong, a grandson monkey, can't beat him from time to time. Otherwise, he will easily not be able to figure out what his last name is.

was left aside, Li Yunlong felt bored, looked left and right, and finally came to the side of the map.

"See something?" The brigade commander asked.

"Ahh

Li Yunlong was so fascinated that he reacted when he was called by the brigade commander.

He pointed to the black lines on the map, "The grid formed by these railways and roads is too dense. With this, the devils can quickly move their troops and form a local superiority in troops.

And the road network and the railway network divide our base area, like a rope around our neck, too deadly.

I think in winter, we have to find a chance to him, find something to do for the little devils, and not make them too comfortable. ”

"There are ideas." The brigade commander praised him, and he was able to consider the overall situation, and Li Yunlong already had a little sense of the overall situation.

Of course, this is also the reason why he was able to be appreciated by the brigade commander and division commander.

The brigade commander turned around and found a piece of paper from the pile of documents on the table: "Here, the commendation order sent by the division headquarters." ”

The commendation order is the same existence as the certificate, a thin piece of paper does not seem to be anything, but the meaning contained in it is different.

When discussing promotion, one sentence is the most convincing when you have made meritorious service and what department you have been rewarded.

If Li Yunlong had only been rewarded and not punished, he might not have been a major general in the end, or he might have been a lieutenant general.

But whoever made him make as many meritorious contributions as he received was punished, and he was lucky to be able to evaluate a major general in the end.

If it weren't for the old chief, who evaluated the ranks, saw that he was an old subordinate for many years, and said a few good words to him. Otherwise, in the end, he would be rated a colonel, and he would have no place to cry.

Not to mention the future, just to say that right now, Li Yunlong got the commendation order, and he is still happy in his heart.

Although I have won the award many times, I am not as excited as the first time. But it's a good thing after all, and there is no reason to be unhappy.

He didn't know the words on it, so he looked at it for a while, and then recognized Li Yunlong, who wrote it on it, and the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

folded the commendation order and put it in his pocket, Li Yunlong didn't mean to leave.

The brigade commander glanced at him: "Okay, you also received the award, you don't need me to leave you for lunch, right?" ”

Li Yunlong shook his head: "No, no, I just have a little matter." Yuan Chenming, the big talent in our regiment, is here with the brigade commander. I want to pick him up today if it's okay. ”

It's okay not to talk about it, but as soon as I talk about it, the brigade commander also blew up.

After chatting yesterday, I found that he was indeed a talent, and he was ready for a special promotion, and he was directly arranged to be the deputy director of the grenade arsenal of the new brigade.

But this kid actually refused, and refused to agree to anything, which surprised the brigade commander.

Didn't you say that people had already been recruited? In the end, this kind of oolong was made.

The political commissar also mentioned it to him later, and told him that Yuan Chenming was going to the county seat to do business, and the brigade commander felt more and more distressed.

Such a talent actually wants to do business, which is the loss of the Eighth Route Army!

But it's still the same sentence, the Eighth Route Army comes and goes freely, and it can't be forced.

was a little angry with Yuan Chenming, and the brigade commander threw it all on Li Yunlong's head, "How can you be the commander of the regiment, you can't even keep a person." ”

"I heard that you had a conflict with people at the beginning, but I think there is still a lack of a political commissar to manage you."

Splitting his head and covering his face, Li Yunlong listened to it and pulled out the cold in his heart. The co-brigade commander didn't want to leave people to him at all, and when he had to free up his hands, he had to be assigned a political commissar.

I don't feel good about my little heart.

In the end, the brigade commander said: "With you, I have to live ten years less, get out!" ”

Li Yunlong was scolded and got out of the way.

……

The efficiency of the Eighth Route Army was very fast, especially the grenade arsenal was unanimously valued by the brigade commander and political commissar, and the personnel and materials had been raised the next day.

The first set of tools brought from Zhaojiazhuang became the best object to imitate, and carpenters and blacksmiths did not need to think too much, they just needed to build them step by step.

In order to make the first grenade as soon as possible, Yuan Chenming couldn't wait, and directly with his original team, he took the first set of tools and started to make it.

Gunpowder is prepared, the warhead is cast, the wooden handle of the grenade is made, and finally the fuse is installed, and the whole thing is assembled to make an imitation wooden handle grenade.

It's easy to say that it's easy, it's not too difficult to make, it's just a little time to start from scratch.

Yuan Chenming is in charge of guidance, just move your mouth.

Yesterday, Xing Zhiguo and Bian Xiaowei, who had just met, heard that they were going to make grenades today, so they also came to watch, and they also brought several other staff officers of the brigade headquarters to join in the fun.

After the carpenter assembled the first grenade, Xing Zhiguo couldn't wait to get up and carefully look at the appearance of the grenade.

The blackened cast-iron warhead left a groove in the tunnel. The long wooden handle shows the original color of the wood, but because of the rush of time, the burrs of the wood have not been cleaned, and there are a few small flaws.

Yuan Chenming took it over, but was accidentally pricked by a burr, and almost threw the grenade out in a tremble.

And he almost shuddered, and scared a group of staff officers around him.

"What are you afraid of, this is not pulling the strings." Yuan Chenming asked puzzled.

"yes, what are you afraid of?" Xing Zhiguo also asked.

Several of the other staff officers laughed wryly, their reasons inconvenient to say.

Bian Xiaowei was sincere, and said directly: "Brother Xing, you also know that this kind of thing is not tested without experiments, and the big guy is not reliable if he has not witnessed it with his own eyes, and he is not at ease in his heart." ”

I'm afraid that the quality is not good, so I will blow it up.

People, it is hypocrisy, and Yuan Chenming is also a person in this way, so it is easy to understand their subtext.

To say that he was stupid and bold to carry out the first grenade explosion experiment at that time.

With the craftsmen making the first batch of grenades, he was also worried about the effectiveness of these grenades, and whether there would be potential dangers?

By now, there are four or five hundred grenades made by his subordinates. I'm used to this thing, and I don't have the worry of blowing it up in my hands at first.

Although Xing Zhiguo listened to the introduction of his old comrade-in-arms Xu Xiaoyong, he trusted the grenade made by Yuan Chenming.

However, his trust and persuasion are not enough, and he still has to come up with some solid evidence after all.

The President taught us that seeing is believing and hearing is believing, and that without investigation there is no right to speak.

Xing Zhiguo suggested: "Comrade Xiao Yuan, let's conduct a grenade experiment so that everyone can see the effect." In the future, when I use these grenades, my heart will be steady. You tell me? ”

"This brigade commander has already thought of it." Yuan Chenming said with a smile: "Yesterday, the brigade commander told me that when the first batch of grenades is manufactured, he will come to see the effect in person." ”

He glanced at the three grenades that would be assembled by the craftsmen as he spoke, and said with a chuckle: "I think the time is ripe now, why don't you just invite the brigade commander and political commissar to come!" ”

"Okay, I'll call the brigade commander." Bian Xiaowei agreed, turned around and ran.

Good news!

Another staff officer, who was standing in the back, also said a word to report to the commissar and ran out.

The chief of staff went to the division headquarters for a meeting, otherwise he would have to run out of one.

"Hey, hey." Flashing left and right, Li Yunlong, who avoided the two of them, asked in wonder as soon as he walked in: "What's wrong, the two of them are happy, are they all wives giving birth to children?" ”

Haha, everyone laughed, Xing Zhiguo saw that it was an old comrade-in-arms and explained to him the ins and outs of the matter.

Li Yunlong listened and said: "I said, it turned out that I reported the good news to the brigade commander and political commissar, and I really thought the two of them were happy!" ”
