Yangcun, the headquarters of the independent regiment.

Li Yunlong was pacing in the courtyard with a cigarette in his hand.

"Salute!" Accompanied by the guard's password, Zhao Gang walked in angrily.

Zhao Gang is a workaholic, and after having a meeting with Li Yunlong and Kong Jie yesterday, he turned around and threw himself into work, and went to the various battalions and platoons below to familiarize himself with the situation.

It took more than two days to go through the companies and platoons of the 3rd Battalion and the 2nd Battalion.

Today it should be the turn of the first battalion, but when Zhao Gang hurried to the first battalion station, he found that the station was empty, and the more than 300 commanders and fighters below the battalion commander were all gone.

When I asked the guards who stayed behind, they all said they didn't know what the situation was.

Zhao Gang had no choice but to go back to the regiment headquarters and ask Li Yunlong.

"Commander." Zhao Gang walked up to Li Yunlong and stood still, "I have something to do with you." ”

Li Yunlong looked Zhao Gang up and down a few times, and asked, "What are the instructions of Political Commissar Zhao?" ”

Zhao Gang said: "I want to ask the regiment commander, is there a combat mission?" ”

Li Yunlong said: "Combat mission? No, can I not tell you? ”

After speaking, Li Yunlong turned around and walked away, but Zhao Gang chased after Li Yunlong unrelentingly.

Then he asked, "Where did that battalion go?" Also, Deputy Head Kong and Xiao Wang are not there, I want to ask the head of the regiment, what happened in the regiment? Why are you hiding it from me? ”

Li Yunlong smiled faintly and said, "Look at my memory, forget about it." ”

After saying this, he said: "I'm sorry, big political commissar, it's like this, I asked Deputy Regiment Commander Kong to take a battalion to engage in a little side business, because of the lack of manpower, I will take Xiao Wang with me." ”

"But don't worry, I'll be back before it gets dark today."

"Side hustle?" Zhao Gang asked, "What side hustle?" Please be clear. ”

Li Yunlong said: "A batch of military horses came to Wanjia Town, and I asked the first battalion to bring the horses back, it's as simple as that." ”

"Wanjia Town?" Zhao Gang's face changed, and he said, "The cavalry battalion of the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army? ”

Li Yunlong said with some surprise: "You also know Wanjia Town? ”

"Wanjia Town is next to Zhengtai Road, and I just passed by there last week."

Zhao Gang hurriedly said: "At that time, there was a county brigade to cover me, and I encountered danger like this, the enemy situation there is very complicated, how can you ......?"

Li Yunlong was a little impatient, and interrupted Zhao Gang: "Don't worry, my big political commissar, hehe, those puppet armies are just decorations, and those horses are simply given away for nothing." ”

"What a good horse, it's a waste in the hands of the puppet army."

"Leader, what kind of side hustle are you?" Zhao Gang was furious, and said with a dark face, "This is a combat operation!" What authority do you have to transfer troops without authorization? ”

"Aang, are you a serious violation of discipline?"

Li Yunlong was also angry, and scolded with two eyes: "Zhao Gang, you don't glare at me, when Lao Tzu was fighting in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, you didn't know where he was." ”

"I'll tell you, Lao Tzu did it, what's the matter?"

"Are you going to make a small report to the division commander and brigade commander?"

"If you want to kill or chop, I, Li Yunlong, will hold it!"

Zhao Gang's belly was immediately suffocated.

Because he realized that the quarrel with people like Li Yunlong could not solve the problem, but would only make the situation more rigid, which was not the result he hoped to see.

Zhao Gang quickly calmed down and said, "Commander, let's calm down, don't quarrel, noisy won't solve the problem." ”

"You are an old comrade, and you have more political and combat experience than me, and I should learn from you, but in this matter, what you have done is really inappropriate."

Zhao Gang's reaction surprised Li Yunlong a little.

This white-faced show is not in a hurry? Didn't rush to go to your superiors to make a small report?

At that moment, Li Yunlong also suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Political Commissar Zhao, have you heard of the new group? ”

"Of course I did." Zhao Gang said, "I have heard from the comrades of the Political Department, you Commander Li commanded the new regiment to defeat the Bantian Wing from the front and kill the Captain of the Bantian Wing, who doesn't know our entire Jinchaji troops?" ”

"If you know, it's good." Li Yunlong nodded and said, "When I first took over the new regiment, the troops had not yet formed combat effectiveness, and the troops lacked training, actual combat experience, and most importantly, weapons and equipment. ”

"There are less than ten light machine guns in the whole regiment, and there is not a single heavy machine gun."

"The rifle is an old sleeve, made in Hanyang, and the rifling is smoothed."

"That's it, neither of them can share a gun."

"I'll go to the brigade commander and ask for it, guess what the brigade commander said?"

"The brigade commander said that if you don't have a gun, you will have to die."

"You Li Yunlong saw that my head was worth a few guns, so you cut it off and took it to change the gun."

Zhao Gang imagined Li Yunlong's embarrassment at that time, and couldn't help asking, "Then what should you do?" ”

"That's what I said." Li Yunlong said, "I said brigade commander, I am also the commander of the dignified regular army, I can't even be inferior to the county brigade, right?" Isn't this smashing our division's brand? ”

"Guess what the Brigadier said? The brigade commander said, I have equipment, what do you want Li Yunlong to do? ”

"Ang, since you have the ability to be the head of the regiment, you should have the ability to use a gun, otherwise go home and pick up the child, don't embarrass me here."

"Come on."

"That's what I've been waiting for."

"Let me get a gun? No problem. ”

"But you can't put a shackle on me, can you?"

"You have to give me some autonomy, you can't let your brigade commander take advantage of everything."

"You want me to get a gun, and you want me to be a good child, this is unreasonable."

Li Yunlong said something interesting, Zhao Gang couldn't help but be happy, and asked, "What did the brigade commander say?" ”

Li Yunlong said: "The brigade commander said, go and go, figure it out by yourself, I don't care about anything, I don't ask anything, I warn you Li Yunlong, you don't bother me with these." ”

"That's it, in less than a year, the new group has everything."

"Crooked handles, Type 92, grenadiers, mortars."

"The guy in his hand is good, our waist pole is hard."

"Without this family background, I dare to go head-to-head with the Sakata United? Dream on. ”

"In the past two days, Political Commissar Zhao, you went to the second and third battalions, and you should know what the situation is with the independent regiment."

"The current independent regiment is not much stronger than the new regiment I just took over, there are only nine light machine guns, there is not even one heavy machine gun, and there are only more than 500 rifles."

"Canisters and mortars can't even be seen."

"And this bullet, less than ten rounds per gun!"

"With such a little background, a small-scale ambush battle can't afford to fight."

"If you don't engage in some side hustles, when will the independent regiment be able to form combat effectiveness?"

After a pause, Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang again: "Political Commissar Zhao, do you understand now?" ”

"I guess I kind of get it." Zhao Gang nodded, and said, "Commander, my attitude was a little impatient just now, and I ask you to bear with me, Ang, but if there is something in the future, can we discuss it first?" You said such a big thing, I don't know as a political commissar, it's not a big deal, right? ”

"No problem." Li Yunlong said, "There is something to discuss." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden neighing of horses outside the door.

Li Yunlong suddenly perked up and said, "I'm back, Deputy Head Kong and Xiao Wang are back!" It seems that he should have made a fortune, let's go, let's take a look! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong turned around and ran out.

Zhao Gang was also looking forward to it, so he hurried to keep up.

As soon as the two of them rushed out of the gate, they saw a team of horses heading towards the regimental headquarters.

A dozen and a half children screamed, jumped and laughed as they circled around the front of the team.

Zhao Gang roughly estimated that this horse team also had at least more than 300 war horses, carrying a mouthful of wooden crates and sacks on their backs, which were heavy.

The horses were so crushed that they couldn't walk.

Moreover, the fighters of the first battalion almost all carried two guns on their backs.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong laughed out loud: "Hahaha, you've made a fortune!" ”

Zhao Gang was also a little excited, and he also had a deeper understanding of what Li Yunlong said about "engaging in a side business", it seems that if the armed forces of the Eighth Route Army want to become stronger, this side business is very important!

"Lao Kong!" Li Yunlong saw Kong Jie in the crowd and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Lao Kong, tell me quickly, how much benefit has our independent group made from this vote?"

Kong Jie was in a bad mood, glanced at Li Yunlong coldly, and walked away.

"Deputy Head Kong......" Zhao Gang still wanted to say hello, but was pulled away by Li Yunlong.

"Political Commissar Zhao, don't pay attention to him, he's just a dumbfounder." Li Yunlong smiled.

He knew why Kong Jie was unhappy, such a large sum of oil and water had nothing to do with him, he could be happy?

"First battalion commander? A battalion commander! Li Yunlong called the commander of the first battalion, Guan Dashan, to the front and said, "Tell me quickly, how much benefit has our independent regiment made from this vote?" ”

Guan Dashan is in a very good mood.

"Commander, our independent regiment has made a fortune!"

Guan Dashan said excitedly: "This time we are really rich, 362 war horses, 9 imitation Czech light machine guns, 260 cavalry rifles, 260 sabers, in addition to these, there are 30,000 rifle bullets, more than 50,000 pieces of ocean plus more than 100,000 catties of wheat and millet!" Commander, this year our independent regiment can have a real fat year! ”
