Yangcun has been immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival, and from time to time a group of little children run through the gate of the regiment headquarters shouting, and then the horn sounds, which are firecrackers.

For the people in the base area, although the days are hard, there must still be a sense of ritual for the New Year.

The Independent Regiment is also busy with the New Year, and there are more than 2,000 commanders and fighters in the entire Independent Regiment.

This year, the Independent Regiment has an unprecedented abundance of supplies.

So from the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Lao Wang took more than a dozen men from the cooking class to start working.

Croquettes, dumplings and rice cakes, because the soldiers of the independent regiment have recruits from Shanxi, as well as veterans from Hubei or Sichuan in the south, they have to be taken care of as much as possible.

Needless to say, there are a lot of horse meat, horse sausages and horse offal.

Because tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, so Wang Ye is not going to go out tonight, rest for one night, and cultivate enough spirit to have enough physical strength to fight with the devil tomorrow night.

In his judgment, tomorrow night's Chinese New Year's Eve, the devil will most likely cause trouble.

So not only he had to be ready, but the entire independent regiment had to be ready for battle.

Opportunities are reserved only for those who are prepared, and the same is true for troops, who must be ready at all times.

After getting up at noon and having dinner with everyone, Wang Ye followed Li Yunlong to the training ground of the cavalry company.

The cavalry company's equestrian training had ended, and now it was practicing equestrian stabbing, and I saw a platoon of more than 40 horsemen galloping past the training ground.

In the flicker of the knife, the "human heads" of the scarecrow fell to the ground in rows.

After a month of hard training, the cavalry company is now somewhat interesting.

Li Yunlong stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "How is it, Xiao Wang?" You haven't been idle this month, and the cavalry company hasn't been idle either, isn't there a lot of progress? ”

"It's huge, indeed." Wang Ye said, "It's enough for a devil to drink a pot." ”

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "However, the progress of your wolf warrior squad is greater, and the cavalry of the same strength is dueling, and the cavalry is not even the opponent of the wolf warrior squad in any class." ”

"That's a must." Wang Ye smiled, "How can you be worthy of the name of the Wolf Warrior Squad?" ”

Li Yunlong smiled: "You kid, you really gasp when you say you're fat, don't you know how to be modest?" ”

"I don't understand." Wang Ye said suddenly, "There is no word for modesty in the dictionary of our independent regiment. ”

Haha smiled, Li Yunlong said again: "By the way, I didn't bother to ask during this time, how are you doing with the harassment of the Tiger Pavilion stronghold?" ”

Wang Ye said: "It's okay." ”

Li Yunlong was unhappy: "What do you mean it's okay?" ”

Wang Ye said: "Added up before and after, about forty or fifty devils have been killed, and the Black Island United team has definitely not rested well this month, if nothing else, the more than 1,000 devils in the Tiger Pavilion stronghold are already on the verge of going berserk, and they may go crazy at any time." ”

Li Yunlong's expression moved: "What do you mean?" ”

Wang Ye said: "There is a high probability that the devil will do something tomorrow night." ”

"Then have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tonight and pass this year first!"

Li Yunlong paused and asked, "How much ammunition was consumed?" ”

Wang Ye said: "There are more than 120 bullets and 39 shells. ”

"What?" Li Yunlong was anxious when he heard this, "You are a loser, why did you consume so many shells?" ”

"We only have more than 200 shells in total, and you killed one-fifth of Lao Tzu in one go! Fuck, can't you save some of your shit? ”

Replaced by Wang Chengzhu, at this time he will definitely be aggrieved.

His grandmother has a leg, isn't that your order?

Will you deny it again, think I'm consuming too many shells?

But Wang Ye knew Li Yunlong's weakness, and he couldn't be top with Li Yunlong.

At that moment, Wang Ye followed Li Yunlong's tone and said with a smile: "Commander, there is a way that the child is reluctant to trap the wolf, if you don't spend a little money, how can you kill the Black Island United?" ”

"Just take out the Black Island United? What is this shell? ”

"When the time comes, let alone 40 shells, 400 rounds can be replenished."

"Commander, don't forget, the Black Island Wing has a squadron of cavalry artillery!"

"An artillery squadron, a regimental commander, a full 4 75mm caliber mountain guns!"

Li Yunlong cares most about the Black Island United, as long as the Black Island United is defeated, everything else is easy to say.

"Yes." Li Yunlong turned his anger into joy and said, "Xiao Wang, if you can really kill the Black Island United this time, I invite you to drink, how about half a catty of sweet potato roast?" ”

"That's it?"

"The Black Island United team is only worth half a catty of sweet potato roast?"

Wang Ye said disdainfully: "You are too picky." ”

"Half a catty of sweet potatoes is good, when I first arrived in Shanxi two years ago, I couldn't drink a sip of wine for most of the year at the worst time." Li Yunlong snorted twice, and said, "But you kid is not an ordinary person, in this way, if you can successfully kill the Black Island United this time, Lao Tzu will reward you with a bottle of Apricot Blossom Village, this is always interesting enough, right?" ”

"Funny fart." Wang Ye said angrily, "I don't drink again." ”

"Then it can't be." Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Haven't I married a daughter-in-law yet?" If I marry a daughter-in-law and have a daughter, I will definitely recruit your son as a son-in-law. ”

Wang Zhixin said, You can pull it down.

Waiting for your daughter? The cucumber dishes are cold.

Oda is probably still in elementary school.

Oh, by the way, since Lao Tzu has crossed over, then Xiuqin will definitely not be sacrificed again, so Xiao Tian has nothing to do with you Li Yunlong, don't remember your dog's day.

At that moment, Wang Ye said: "Commander, if you really want to reward me, it is better to reward me with a gold medal." ”

"A gold medal for you?" Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly, "What gold medal?" ”

"Gold medal for avoiding death." Wang Ye said, "In the future, if I catch a prisoner of war again, I will not be punished when I am executed or buried alive, you must bear the pressure on me above." ”

Wang Ye has figured out the rules of the system.

In a word, there is no reward for killing devils on the battlefield.

Rewards are only triggered if they are killed or buried alive after they have been captured.

So this is doomed to him to constantly violate discipline and be punished constantly.

Li Yunlong said angrily: "I said you kid, how can you compete with devil prisoners of war?" ”

"If you kill them on the battlefield, you will kill them, and since they have all been captured, why should they be executed or buried alive?"

"Just according to what the political commissar said, leave it to the people of the enemy engineering section of the headquarters to deal with, can't you instigate them to join some anti-war alliance? The commissar is such a big intellectual, can't you respect it? ”

Wang Ye was silent, there was really no way to explain this matter to Li Yunlong.

You can't tell Li Yunlong that burying devils alive can get treasure chests, right?

Li Yunlong said again: "I said, is there something wrong with your kid?" deliberately didn't kill the devil on the battlefield, but he had to catch the captives and play the rats, and then bury them alive after the play? ”

Wang Ye said angrily: "You have a problem with your dog's day." ”

"Hey, you little rabbit cub, dare to scold Lao Tzu." Li Yunlong is on fire.

"That's because you scolded me first." Wang Ye said, "Don't you allow me to talk back?" ”

"How dare you talk back?" Li Yunlong's eyes widened and said, "Be careful that I beat you." ”

"Then you have to be able to beat me." Wang Ye smiled and said, "Regiment leader, why don't we practice?" This time I'll give you five tricks. ”

Li Yunlong said angrily: "Look at what you can." ”

"That's a must." Wang Ye smiled and said, "Our head is Li Yunlong. ”

One sentence amused Li Yunlong again, and after laughing, he scolded again: "The entire independent regiment, you dare to talk to Lao Tzu like this, you are better than the political commissar." ”

At that moment, Wang Ye smiled and said, "You just say that you can't carry it for me, right?" ”

"Carry a fart, if I really carry it for you, the brigade commander can take me off, do you want Lao Tzu to go up and down or what?" Li Yunlong's eyes widened and he said, "Besides, you kid can't make things more hidden?" Don't let the commissar know, isn't it over? ”

The implication is that he, Li Yunlong, will not have any problems here.

That's what Wang Ye wanted.

Gotcha!

……

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve.

Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the 1st Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi, issued a notice to give a banquet to all senior generals of the 1st Army at the Taiyuan Headquarters and above as major generals and brigade commanders.

It is said that only high-ranking generals above the major general are invited to the banquet.

But there were exceptions, and two large sas also received invitations to dinner.

One of the big ones is Kazuki Yamamoto, and the other is Morita Kuroshima.

Kazuki Yamamoto was able to receive the invitation because Yoshio Shinozuka attaches great importance to Kazuo Yamamoto's theory of special operations, while Morita Kuroshima is purely stained with the light of the royal family.

Kuroshima Morita didn't want to go,

But I couldn't stand Maeda Xiu's warm invitation, so I could only go with me.

However, before leaving, Kuroshima Morita still called Nishitakeichi to him.

"Xizhu-kun, in the past two days that I am away, you must restrain the entire team."

"No one is allowed to take half a step out of the stronghold until I come back."

"Especially this guy Jiro, you must watch him for me, and you must not let him act recklessly."

"Hello!" Xizhu paused, "Captain of the wing, don't worry, in the two days that you are away, I will definitely be optimistic about Jiro and the entire team." ”

"Yo Si."

Kuroshima Morita left with peace of mind.

For safety on the road, Morita Kuroshima took a squadron of armored vehicles with him in addition to the guard squad.

But Jiro Kuroshima, who is the captain of the guard team, didn't follow, saying that he had a bad stomach last night, and Nishitakeichi could probably guess Jiro Kuroshima's thoughts.

It's nothing more than wanting to take advantage of the wing captain's absence to sneak out to burn, kill, and plunder.

But he wasn't too worried about that, because he could stop it.

The military discipline of the Japanese army is still very strict, and in the absence of the wing commander, he is the deputy commander of the wing, and whoever dares to disobey his military orders will be dealt with by military law.

However, the morale of the Black Isle United team does have some problems right now.

So Xizhu wants to boost morale through the New Year.

In order to have a good year as much as possible, Xizhuyi also put a lot of thought into it.

First, he contacted the maintenance president of Baijia Village and bought more than 100,000 catties of wheat straw from the surrounding villages.

The wheat straw was then piled on the periphery of the Huting stronghold, and bonfires were lit every fifty meters.

He also asked the puppet army to keep adding wheat straw to ensure that these dozens of bonfires could continue to burn all night, so that the Japanese troops in the stronghold could find out from a distance.

Doing so consumes a lot of wheat straw.

But the Japanese troops in the stronghold can live a year of peace.

By the way, since the Meiji Restoration, the Spring Festival in Japan has been changed to January 1 of the Gregorian calendar, that is, New Year's Day, and the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar has become the old Spring Festival, but until now, most Japanese people are still used to the original Old Spring Festival, and the Japanese are really used to the New Spring Festival until after the defeat and surrender.

When it got dark, Nishitake invited all the officers to the stronghold cafeteria.

Li Yunlong plans to let the independent group celebrate the New Year early, and Xizhu plans to let the Heidao United team have a two-day party.

He was even planning to contact the comfort station in Yangquan County at noon tomorrow and send a group of comfort women to the Huting stronghold.

The cafeteria has a banquet and a lot of food, including traditional Japanese dishes such as sashimi and sushi, and of course, sake.

"Gentlemen, today is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month,"

"Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the day after tomorrow is the old Spring Festival."

"Here, I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year in advance."

After speaking, Xizhu raised his wine cup, and the officers also raised their wine glasses.

Only Jiro Kuroshima sat and didn't move, and this little devil also dragged his "sick body" to the dinner.

Nishitake glanced at Jiro Kuroshima, and then said: "While wishing everyone a happy New Year, I also want to talk to you about the three chapters of the law, the two days when the wing captain is away, I hope you can restrain your respective troops, don't fight, don't make trouble, especially don't go out without permission, violate military law!" ”

"Hello." Dozens of officers stood up and paused.

Xizhu Yi said again: "But as a gift for the New Year, the room will provide everyone with delicious wine and food in the past two days, and there will be comfort women coming to labor at noon tomorrow, so let's enjoy it." ”

"Onboard!" When the officers heard this, they cheered.

Jiro Kuroshima finally got up and bowed his head.

But one of the little devil's hearts has already flown out of the stronghold.

Today is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve.

For Chinese, it is also the most important festival of the year.

If nothing else, the Eighth Route Army is also going to celebrate the New Year, that is to say, these three days should be the time when the Eighth Route Army's vigilance is the most lax, and maybe you can take this opportunity to teach them a lesson.

It's just that Instructor Xizhu is an obstacle, and he will definitely block it.

Thinking of this, Jiro Kuroshima picked up his glass and walked towards Nishitakeichi.

"Instructor." Jiro Kuroshima held his glass and said, "I respect you." ”

Before Nishitakeichi was transferred to the Kuroshima Wing as the deputy wing leader, like Kei Tojo, he had served as an equestrian instructor for Jiro Kuroshima and his group of non-commissioned officers, so Jiro Kuroshima was more used to calling him an instructor.

"Jiro." Saijo paused slightly and said, "Are you feeling better?" ”

"It's not quite good yet." Kuroshima Jiro said, "But a few drinks should be fine." ”

"It's better to drink as little as possible." Saijo advised, "Alcohol can irritate the stomach and intestines and aggravate the condition. ”

"Hello." Kuroshima Jiro said, "After saluting the instructor's glass of wine, I will return to the dormitory to rest." ”

"Yo Si." Saijo gladly accepted, and then he was out of control.

After Jiro Kuroshima, one after another officers stepped forward to toast.

Xizhuyi originally only wanted to drink a few glasses, but he forgot all about it as soon as he got up.

In the end, he was very drunk.

……

In Yang Village.

It was getting dark.

The backyard of the regimental headquarters of the independent regiment is rarely brightly lit.

Not only the upper room, but even the courtyard is full of tables, with a total of more than a dozen tables.

Although it is simpler, there are still a few hard dishes, which are already considered to be the best banquets for the Eighth Route Army, and it is rare to eat them once a year.

Guan Dashan, Zhang Dabiao, Sun Desheng and other nearly 100 cadres above the platoon level walked into the backyard talking and laughing, and they were immediately happy when they saw these dozen tables of banquets.

Good guys, so hearty?

Hearing the laughter outside, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Kong Jie, and Wang Ye also walked out of the upper room.

"Brothers, come and come, come and sit." Li Yunlong beckoned, "It's time to eat, it's time to eat." ”

While speaking, Wang Wang, the elder of the cooking class, brought more than a dozen pots of hot dumplings with more than a dozen men.

"Ho, and dumplings to eat?" Wei Dayong easily fished a steamed dumpling from the basin in Lao Wang's hand, and said with a smile, "What day is it?" ”

"Monk, are you dizzy from practicing equestrianism?" Sun Desheng quipped, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

"You're just going to get dizzy." Wei Dayong shot back while chewing dumplings, "Chinese New Year's Eve is tomorrow." ”

With the two of them arguing, nearly 100 battalion, company, and platoon cadres have already sat down, and more than a dozen tables are almost full.

Li Yunlong laughed and said, "The monk is right, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

"But our independent regiment's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner doesn't have to wait until tomorrow, we will eat it tonight."

Zhang Dabiao said, "Commander, why should the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner be advanced?" Isn't there anything important? ”

"Hehe, I'll sell it first, and I'll talk to everyone later." Li Yunlong smiled and said, "This year is a rare fat year for our independent group. ”

"So we have to have a good meal and celebrate!"

"By the way, I also wish our independent regiment a fatter year next year!"

After speaking, he turned his head to Zhao Gang and said, "Old Zhao, why didn't I see the wine?" How can a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner be made without alcohol? Such a good dish must have wine, so get it out quickly. ”

"Nope." Zhao Gang flatly refused, "You can't drink." ”

Li Yunlong was not happy when he heard this, and said angrily: "There is no wine to eat a fart Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." ”

Zhao Gang also refused to let it, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to eat, no one will force you." ”

Seeing that the two were about to get into trouble again, Wang Ye hurriedly got up and played a round: "Political commissar, they all say that they are drunk and make mistakes, so you have to be drunk to make mistakes, right?" It's okay to drink alcohol in moderation. ”

Kong Jie also said: "Political commissar, the brothers have also been busy all year, tonight for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, let everyone make trouble, and think about it all year round." ”

At this time, Zhao Gang actually regretted it a little.

It's just that the words just now were too fast, and they can't be recovered.

But now Wang Ye and Kong Jie gave him a step and went down.

At that moment, Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Then everyone has one bowl, and only one bowl is allowed." ”

When Li Yunlong wanted to fight again, he was stopped by Wang Ye, and turned his back to Zhao Gang and said with his lips: "Big bowl!" ”

Li Yunlong comprehended, and when he turned around, he shouted: "Lao Wang, change the big bowl, you must get the big bowl when you drink!" Today, let's learn from the heroes of Liangshan, drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat in large pieces, haha. ”
