Half a month later, the Lantern Festival.

The Independent Regiment can be lively today.

Lao Wang took more than a dozen men from the cooking class to be busy for a whole day, mixing noodles, boiling meat, steaming red beans and pounding bean paste, and finally made enough rice balls for more than 2,000 people in the evening to eat.

And it's also stuffed with bean paste, which makes the whole group very happy.

In times of war like these, sugar is more expensive and scarce than meat.

The sky gradually darkened, but Li Yunlong came to the entrance of the village alone.

With a cigarette in his hand, he paced back and forth on the barn at the entrance of the village.

From time to time, Li Yunlong would look up at the mountain pass not far ahead.

Zhao Gang came back from checking the sentry at the entrance of the village, and saw Li Yunlong at the edge of the grain field at a glance.

"Lao Li, what are you doing here?" Zhao Gang asked in surprise, "Why don't you go to eat Lantern Festival?" ”

Li Yunlong said bitterly: "It's not like I ate a belly of Lantern Festival, so I came out to take a turn and eliminate food." ”

"Slippery? Digestion? Zhao Gang said, "Isn't it?" You kid is not honest, tell me honestly, are you waiting for Xiao Wang and them to come back to spend the Lantern Festival together? ”

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "It's been half a month, it's time to come back, right?" ”

"Yes, Xiao Wang should come back too." Zhao Gang said, "Especially today is the Lantern Festival, Lao Wang and they also made dumplings with bean paste filling, and the group is even more lively than the New Year." ”

"That's for sure." Li Yunlong said.

"Compared with the Chinese New Year, there are more people in our independent group, the equipment is better, and the materials have never been so abundant as today, which is all the credit of Xiao Wang and them."

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wei Dayong once came back.

When he left, he took Wang Xikui away again.

After that, it will be five days at most, or three days at least, or Wei Dayong, or Wang Xikui, will come back.

And every time he came back, he must bring a number of weapons, a number of ammunition, and a number of materials, sometimes there are thirty or fifty catties of salt and sugar, and more than one even more than 10,000 catties of grain.

Needless to say, this was all scavenged by Wang Ye from the traitors.

So far, Wang Ye and the others have brought back a total of more than 9,000 pieces of ocean, more than 30,000 catties of grain, and more than 300 rifles and pistols.

Plus more than 10,000 rounds of various bullets.

Wang Ye, this kid is really good at doing side hustles.

Therefore, Li Yunlong especially hopes that Wang Ye can come back today.

If nothing else, Li Yunlong wanted to have a drink with Wang Ye.

As he was talking, a horse neighing suddenly sounded in the mountain pass ahead.

"It's back!" Li Yunlong suddenly perked up and said, "I'm back!" ”

At that moment, he hurriedly greeted Zhao Gang to the entrance of the village, only to see that in the twilight, a horse team was coming.

There are always more than 40 mules and horses in this horse team, and the horses carry heavy sacks on their backs, and I don't know what they are loading.

By the afterglow of the setting sun, Wang Xikui, who was walking in front of the horse team to lead the way, also saw Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, and even quickened his pace to greet him and salute: "Regiment leader, political commissar!" ”

"Kiko, you're back?" Seeing that it was Wang Xikui, Li Yunlong was both happy and disappointed.

I am happy that Wang Xikui is back again, and I am disappointed that Wang Ye has not come back this dog day.

Since I left the regiment headquarters on the second day of the Lunar New Year, this dog day is like a wild horse that has taken off the reins, and it will not return to the trough!

"I really let the captain say it." Wang Xikui said, "Before leaving, the captain told me that today is the Lantern Festival, and the head of the regiment and the political commissar must be waiting for us to come back." ”

"He also said that the head of the regiment would go to the entrance of the village and wait."

"I didn't expect you to wait at the entrance of the village, the head of the regiment."

"This shit still has a face." Li Yunlong said, "Why didn't he come back?" ”

"The captain really can't leave." Wang Xikui said, "Liu Jincai, this traitor is very treacherous, I can't cure him with the monk, only the captain himself can cure him." ”

Li Yunlong said: "Who is Liu Jincai?" ”

Wang Xikui said: "Liu Jiawa's maintenance president, a hardcore traitor. ”

"Liu Jiawa?" Zhao Gang said, "You went to Yangquan County?" ”

Wang Xikui said: "The Niangzi Pass side has been almost lined up, and then we have to touch the Yangquan County section of Zhengtai Road and the strongholds along the line." ”

Li Yunlong said: "Caught another traitor? How did you hold it? ”

Wang Xikui said: "It's still the old way before, after completing the night survey, the captain took me and the monk to Liu Jiawa before dawn and found the maintenance chairman Liu Jincai's house. ”

"Although this dog traitor said that he raised dozens of nurses,"

"But where is this waste going to stop us?"

"The captain took us directly into Liu Jincai's room."

"This dog traitor was sleeping with his two aunts and wives in his arms......"

Zhao Gang hurriedly interrupted: "Xizi, let's talk about the point, don't talk about these useless things." ”

"Yes." Wang Xikui said again, "The captain just put a gun on Liu Jincai's head, and this dog traitor was scared, no matter what we asked, he agreed to it." ”

"That can't let him go." Li Yunlong said, "The traitor lackeys must be resolutely suppressed. ”

"Repression is for sure." Wang Xikui nodded, "But the captain said that before suppressing this dog traitor, the last drop of oil and water must be squeezed out of him." ”

Li Yunlong's mood immediately became better again.

"Tell me quickly, how much benefit did this ticket make?"

Wang Xikui said: "Regiment leader, there are not many weapons and equipment this time, but there are a lot of oceans, Liu Jincai, a traitor, is in the tobacco business, and he makes a lot of black money." ”

Zhao Gang said angrily: "That's damned." ”

"How much money did you make?" Li Yunlong said.

Wang Xikui didn't speak, only stretched out two fingers.

"Twenty thousand?" Li Yunlong said, "There are so many? ”

Wang Xikui said: "What 20,000 yuan, it's 200,000 yuan!" ”

"What do you say?" Li Yunlong was taken aback, and said in a lost voice, "200,000 yuan is now in the ocean?!" ”

Zhao Gang next to him was also taken aback, 200,000 yuan of ocean is really a huge amount of money, and the border bank in the Jinchaji base area may not be able to come up with so much ocean!

Wang Xikui pointed to the horse team behind him and said: "There are a total of forty-two mules and horses, except for two mules and horses that carry guns and ammunition, and the remaining forty mules and horses are all oceans. ”

"Two large boxes of mules and horses, a total of five thousand oceans."

Hearing this, a few porters hired were also shocked, they actually carried so much money?

But it's no wonder that the shopkeeper had to let them go at night, and they were all on mountain roads, so they didn't hesitate to pay them three times their wages for this, and dared to bring back a huge sum of money!

Li Yunlong said: "These Jin merchants are really rich. ”

Zhao Gang said angrily: "Can you make money in the tobacco business?" ”

Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Lao Zhao, this time we are really rich!" ”

"I really didn't expect that." Zhao Gang sighed, "Xiao Wang was able to get back so many funds. ”

After saying this, he said: "But Lao Li, such a large amount of funds can't be concealed and not reported, at the moment the headquarters, division headquarters and brother troops are very difficult, we can't eat fragrant and spicy food ourselves, but let the boss, division commander and the commanders and fighters of the brother troops eat bran vegetables, what do you say?" ”

"I know that I can't keep this amount of money."

Li Yunlong said: "Look, the brigade commander will definitely call early tomorrow morning." ”

"Li Yunlong, I congratulate you on getting rich again, and this time your kid is really rich!"

Zhao Gang smiled when he heard this: "Lao Li, I'm very happy that you can have this awareness, you have grown up." ”

"Grow a fart, it's not impossible." Li Yunlong said, "The official level crushed people to death, and besides, the brigade commander was from a background in intelligence work, so there is no way, I really can't hide it." ”

Zhao Gang suddenly said: "Lao Li, I have an idea. ”

"What thoughts?" Li Yunlong said, "Can you keep this money?" ”

"That can't be." Zhao Gang said categorically, "You don't have to think about this." ”

"If you can't keep the money, then you kid is still talking a fart." Li Yunlong didn't have a good airway.

Zhao Gang said: "The money must not be kept, but at least it can be settled." ”

Li Yunlong said: "You mean, don't wait for the brigade commander to ask for it, take the initiative to send him over?" ”

"That's what it means." Zhao Gang said, "Isn't today the Lantern Festival?" Let's just say that this is the festival fee provided by our independent regiment to the brigade headquarters, division headquarters and headquarters. ”

"Fuck." Li Yunlong said angrily, "Then this Lantern Festival is really extravagant." ”

Zhao Gang said: "What is extravagant or not, isn't this just to find a name." ”

"Okay." Li Yunlong said, "Then don't enter the village, lest the brigade commander's eyes pass the news first, and this time I have to scare the brigade commander!" ”

"Yes, yes, it's better to scare him to death."

When Zhao Gang heard this, he also laughed.

Li Yunlong said to the guard Xiao Zhang again: "Go, let the first platoon of guards come to the village entrance immediately." ”

Although this is the hinterland of the base area, after all, it involves the safety of 200,000 oceans, so it is better to transfer a guard platoon to escort it.

……

386 Brigade Headquarters.

The chief of staff said: "Brigade commander, today is the Lantern Festival, should you have a supper at night?" ”

"Our brigade headquarters is about to be so poor that we can't open the pot, what kind of supper are we eating?" The brigade commander shook his head, his gaze not taking off the military map on the table for a moment.

This is a map of Shanxi.

Zhengtai Road has been marked with various symbols.

"No, Brigadier." The chief of staff frowned and said, "Didn't Ding Wei just send two thousand pieces of ocean and four thousand catties of white flour a while ago?" How come there is no money for extra meals? ”

"Don't mention it." The brigade commander sighed.

"Didn't I go to the headquarters for a meeting the day before yesterday, and I had two meals by the way."

"Chief of Staff, guess what the heads of the headquarters eat?"

"What are you eating?" The chief of staff said, "It can't be sweet potatoes too, right?" ”

The brigade commander said: "Look at what you said, according to the conditions of our Eighth Route Army, it would be good to have sweet potatoes, I really think that each unit is an independent regiment, and there is meat to eat?" ”

"Not everyone in the Independent Regiment has meat to eat."

The chief of staff waved his hand and said with a smile: "Only the wolf warrior squad has meat and white flour buns to eat." ”

"Don't talk about this, I'll be angry when I talk about this old man, Li Yunlong's ancestor must have been an immigrant from Shanxi, and he was so damn home." The brigade commander scolded.

"Chief of Staff, you don't know, this kid Wang Ye is really a good guy with a side hustle."

"Li Yunlong has reaped a lot of benefits these days, it is said that there are more than 300 rifles alone, tens of thousands of bullets, and the key is tens of thousands of catties of white flour and more than 9,000 pieces of ocean."

"But this goddamn day didn't send us half a point."

"Kong Jie is so poor that he gave 2,000 catties of millet."

The chief of staff smiled: "Isn't Li Yunlong so virtuous?" ”

Speaking of this meal, he said: "What do they eat, boss?" ”

"Wheat bran to eat!" The brigade commander sighed and said, "I ate too much of this thing, and I couldn't get out of the, so I sent someone to send the ocean and white noodles sent by Ding Wei to the headquarters." ”

"That's as it should be." The chief of staff sighed.

You can't let the heads of the headquarters eat bran all the time.

Speaking of this, he said, "Why don't I call Zhao Gang?" ”

"Forget it." The brigade commander said, "So as not to go back and quarrel with Li Yunlong again." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Yunlong's trademark loud voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Brigadier Commander? Brigadier I'm here, hahaha! With laughter, Li Yunlong walked in quickly.

"Huh?" The brigade commander smiled, "What kind of wind is this, blowing Grand Master Li to our brigade headquarters?" ”

"Brigade commander, don't sneer at our Lao Li, in front of your brigade commander, I am a small regiment commander." After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he picked up the cigarette case that the brigade commander had placed on the table, and took one in his mouth.

He took out the flip cover again, and the lighter snapped and caught fire.

This lighter was the loot that Wang Ye sent back last time.

The brigade commander said: "You came to the Laozi Brigade Headquarters this big night, just to smoke?" ”

"Brigade commander, you are wrong to blame our Lao Li." Li Yunlong smiled hesitantly, and said, "Brigade commander, don't hide it, our old Li has made a fortune." ”

"Yo-ho."

The brigade commander said: "This time the sun really hit the west and came out?" ”

"You kid would take the initiative to admit that he made a fortune?"

"Say, how much benefit did Wang Ye help you get this time?"

Li Yunlong said proudly: "Brigade commander, this time you have really made a fortune." ”

The chief of staff couldn't help but ask: "Li Yunlong, let's talk about it quickly, how much benefit have you gained?" ”

"How much benefit did you get?" Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Chief of Staff, when you say this number, you and the brigade commander Zhun Bao will be shocked, really." ”

"Come on, don't sell your shit."

The brigade commander said angrily: "Lao Tzu hates selling Guan Zi the most." ”

Li Yunlong stretched out two fingers and said, "Fished out this number." ”

"Twenty thousand oceans?" The brigade commander was really taken aback when he heard this.

20,000 oceans is not a small amount, how many materials can be bought?

Li Yunlong shook his head like a rattle and said, "No, brigade commander, you continue to guess." ”

"That's two thousand?" The brigade commander said, "Two thousand oceans is not a lot." ”

Li Yunlong said in a sigh: "What 2,000 yuan, it's 200,000 yuan!" ”

"How much should I be, I dare to love twenty ......" The brigade commander suddenly paused when he said this, and then turned his head and looked at the chief of staff in disbelief, and the chief of staff was also shocked.

After a few seconds, the brigade commander shouted: "Li Yunlong, how much? ”

Li Yunlong was very satisfied with the brigade commander's reaction, and said with a smile: "Two hundred thousand yuan!" ”

"Oh my God!" The brigade commander shouted, "Li Yunlong, you really made a fortune?" ”

"That's, haha." Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Our old Li is now the real landlord of the land." ”

The brigade commander also laughed, and after laughing, he said, "Li Yunlong, should I congratulate you on making a fortune again?" ”

"Brigade commander, don't Wishing you prosperity." Li Yunlong's eyelids jumped, and he said, "Such a large sum of money, we Lao Li can't keep it even if we know it, don't you send it to the brigade commander?" ”

The brigade commander said: "200,000 oceans, don't you leave some for yourself?" ”

"Don't stay." Li Yunlong said, "Our political commissar Zhao said that the brigade commander, the chief of staff, and the heads of the headquarters are all eating chaff vegetables, so all the 200,000 oceans are taken out to improve the food for the leaders." ”

"Isn't it the Lantern Festival today? Add a meal to the chiefs for the Lantern Festival. ”

The brigade commander said: "Li Yunlong, this 200,000 yuan of ocean Laozi will be accepted." ”

"But extra meals are free, and what our Eighth Route Army urgently needs to improve right now is not food, but medical conditions."

"With this large amount of funds, we can entrust big cities such as Beiping, Tianjin, and Shanghai to buy medical equipment, anti-inflammatory drugs, anesthetics and other drugs urgently needed by field hospitals."

"How many soldiers of our Eighth Route Army were only slightly injured but died?"

"Many of them were even just burns, but because there were no anti-inflammatory drugs, they were finally amputated and disabled, and they never returned to the battlefield, which is really sad!"

Li Yunlong's face also became serious.

During his years as a soldier, he was also wounded.

I know what it's like to be in a hospital bed.

When the Four Front Army crossed the grassland, how many old comrades-in-arms lived and died together, but just a small cold took their lives, which is really sad.

"Li Yunlong, I salute you on behalf of those wounded!"

After the brigade commander finished speaking, he really saluted Li Yunlong.

"Brigadier don't, I can't stand it." Li Yunlong hurriedly returned the salute.

After returning the military salute, his brain was hot and he said: "Brigade commander, don't you say that I don't know that the conditions in the headquarters hospital are so bad, and there are still thousands of catties of white flour and more than 20,000 catties of horse meat in the regiment. ”

"I'll have people take me to the headquarters hospital when I turn around."

"Improve the food for the wounded soldiers."

The chief of staff said: "Li Yunlong, you have a heart." ”

"Chief of Staff, it's nothing." Li Yunlong said, "Our old Li likes to eat alone, but he is also a soldier, and he will never watch the wounded soldiers on the battlefield become disabled or something because of their nutrition." ”

The brigade commander couldn't help but glance at the chief of staff, Li Yunlong, this kid has changed his sex?

Did Li Yunlong change sex? That's impossible, whoever converts to sex will not change sex.

When he came out of the brigade headquarters, Li Yunlong was so angry that he slapped his mouth, did he hit the evil just now?

What kind of big thing to charge if you have nothing to do? Now it's okay, the only few thousand catties of white flour and the more than 20,000 catties of horse meat left in the whole regiment have been sent out for nothing, how can I tell the soldiers when I go back?

"Fuck, Xu Yougeng, what are you doing on your dog days?"

When he went out and saw Xu Yougeng, Li Yunlong scolded him for covering his face.

Xu Yougeng, the commander of the guard company, was confused by Li Yunlong's scolding.

I haven't been going anywhere, haven't I been waiting for you at the gate?
