Twenty-two.

It was only two days before the end of the Japanese army's spring sweep and the fiasco of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang.

On the Japanese side, after the withdrawal of the sweep troops, they temporarily entered a state of rest and recuperation, and there was no movement.

On the contrary, all sides of the Chinese military have expressed their positions.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Yan Laoxi, who first went to the Second Theater Commander's Department, personally reported and commended the Eighth Route Army, and vigorously affirmed the outstanding achievements of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Base Area in this counter-sweep.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army's outstanding performance in this operation was commended.

In particular, the independent regiment shone in the counter-sweep.

"Lift up the three armies...... It boosted the anti-Japanese morale of the entire World War II zone...... When it is a model and an example...... "Yunyun."

Then, at 11 o'clock in the morning, no one could have imagined that the counter-sweep of the Eighth Route Army would directly alarm the Nationalist Government in Chongqing.

The bald chairman did not hesitate to praise the Eighth Route Army when he reported on the commendation.

The level of ink making is even higher than that of Yan Laoxi in the World War II zone, and he said a few hundred words of commendation in the middle of the excitement.

But what is the actual situation?

At the brigade headquarters meeting, even Li Yunlong, a general who was uneducated and born with mud legs, couldn't help but slap the table and scolded: "This old Jiang is not real at all, what's the use of talking such nonsense?" Damn, if you really have this heart, don't make any false verbal praises, and come up with some real cash rewards, then it's like a thing! ”

Ding Weile, who was sitting next to Li Yunlong's right hand, said: "I said Lao Li, in addition to commending all of our Eighth Route Army, the chairman of the committee is basically expressing his appreciation for the independent regiment throughout the whole article, Lao Kong didn't speak, why are you in a hurry here?" Isn't this a typical emperor who is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry? ”

Hahaha –

The heads of the delegations who participated in the meeting immediately burst into laughter.

At this time, the political commissar spoke: "Verbal commendation is verbal commendation!" It's also rare, since the end of our Zhengtai Battle last year, not only the Japanese army, but even the national army has regarded our Eighth Route Army as a big problem.

Although the united front is still in place by and large, in fact it is not as stable as it was in previous years, and has even reached the point of precariousness.

In this counter-sweep, we have achieved dazzling results.

The commotion was too great for Chongqing to sit still, so it could only take advantage of the situation and offer commendations to appease the people, which was Lao Chiang's usual method.

As far as this matter is concerned, it is generally good to put aside the undercurrents of private surging.

At the very least, Chongqing's initiative to report and commend the troops on its own initiative is enough to show the troops of all sides throughout the country that our united front is still there, and we must still unite as one to jointly deal with the Japanese invaders. ”

The brigade commander continued: "The political commissar is right, the success of this counter-sweep, both military and political, is a great victory for our Eighth Route Army. ”

Speaking of this, the brigade commander's words paused, his eyes stayed on Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie for a moment, and then smiled at everyone:

"Comrades, you have done a good job in this counter-sweep.

The fact that we were able to achieve such a great victory is inseparable from your command.

In Chongqing, Chairman Chiang likes to play with the false, but the brigade headquarters and the general headquarters will never forget the merits and dedication of the comrades.

Chongqing's commendation is over, and the headquarters and brigade headquarters will hold a commendation meeting! ”

As soon as Li Yunlong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Brigade commander, we don't want to commend anything, can you come to something practical?"

The brigade commander held back a smile and glanced at Li Yunlong, "Li Yunlong, what do you want to order?"

Li Yunlong rubbed his hands and said, "Brigade commander, I don't want much, this anti-sweep is to deal with the little devils and support Lao Kong's independent regiment, but my new second regiment is about to lose even its family resources." ”

"If the ammunition is not replenished, the next time the soldiers will have to fight desperately with bayonets and devils."

"Hehe, brigade commander, we don't want to be commended or anything, get promoted and get rich or something, our Lao Li is not rare, you can get me a hundred and eight rounds of ammunition, and it's almost the same."

As soon as Li Yunlong's voice fell, the conference room suddenly fell silent, and the brigade commander looked around again, only to see that the regiment commanders present all had green light in their eyes.

The implication is self-evident: and this good thing?

In such a scene, the brigade commander secretly blamed Li Yunlong for not having any eyesight.

Can this be opened blindly?

One regiment of 180,000 rounds of ammunition, how many regiments does our entire brigade have now?

Even if you lift the brigade headquarters, you can't make up so many bullets.

Thinking of this, the brigade commander coughed lightly, glared at Li Yunlong without changing his face, and said: "Li Yunlong, as the old saying goes, there is a wrongdoer, and there is a debtor, and where the ammunition of your new second regiment is consumed, you can find it." ”

"Ask me for bullets? You see how much my head is worth, how many bullets I can exchange, if it's enough or not, you just have to take it. ”

Li Yunlong: "......"

The brigade commander who is cheating, Lao Li can't resist it.

Kong Jie: "......"

I sighed in my heart, it's not good to say secretly, Lao Li, this kid won't be ordered to collect debts, right?

When he returned to the front, the brigade commander in front of him looked displeased, and Li Yunlong hurriedly smiled and said, "Old brigade commander, where can this be?" ”

"You're right, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, our old Li is not that fool."

"Since you have given the order, old brigade commander, I, Li Yunlong, will resolutely complete the task!"

Kong Jie: "......"

Seeing Kong Jie's depressed face on the side, Li Yunlong was happy in his heart:

Damn, our Lao Li is not stupid, he wants to take advantage of the brigade commander, unless the sun comes out in the west.

But this time after such a big victory, equipment and materials were not less captured, if you don't take the initiative to call for poverty, turn around and the brigade commander comes to the door, and say "Wishing you prosperity", you have to work in vain for half a day!

Therefore, our Lao Li is called the first strike.

Now that you have the law, Lao Kong, Lao Kong, I look at the salary of supporting your independent regiment this time, what else can you say?

The brigade commander's face turned dark, knowing that he was being used by Li Yunlong, a kid, and immediately said, "Order, did I give any order?" ”

Kong Jie: "Report to the brigade commander, you didn't give any orders, we didn't hear anything. ”

Li Yunlong: "......"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lao Li was about to continue to speak, and the head of the 772nd Regiment, who was sitting not far from Lao Li, stood up in an uproar.

"Report to the brigade commander, I have something to report!"

The brigade commander said: "Say! ”

Regiment Commander Cheng responded: "Brigade commander, on the 17th day of the Japanese army's sweep, I led the main force of the whole regiment to ambush a Japanese unit and successfully captured two infantry guns.

When the battlefield was being cleaned in the back, the main forces of the devils from other directions suddenly surrounded them.

I didn't have time to transfer these two infantry guns, so I temporarily ordered them to be buried near the nameless ditch.

But after the war, I led people to search everywhere, almost digging three feet into the ground, and I couldn't find these two infantry guns. ”

"And this strange thing?" Ding Wei asked.

Li Yunlong, who was anxious to speak, suddenly became honest and sat quietly in his position, just peeking at Captain Cheng not far away, without saying a word.

Commander Feng of the newly formed Fifth Regiment also said with a depressed face: "Lao Cheng, don't say it, the two of us are really unlucky to be together."

Our fifth regiment has just been formed, the regiment is poorly equipped, ammunition is scarce, and everyone knows the situation.

After the devil brigade went to encircle and suppress, we almost planted ourselves in the station.

Later, some comrades of the guard company and cavalry company sent by Lao Kong provided timely support, and only then did they join forces to kill the Japanese squadron.

Later, he defeated the Devil Brigade that came to support, and captured eight heavy machine guns, as well as two infantry guns.

These guns and cannons are good things, and even though they were damaged by artillery fire, I was reluctant to lose them.

Later, the sweeping troops from other directions of the devils surrounded them, and before they had time to take these heavy weapons, they were buried near the western slope.

As a result, when I went back to look for it after the battle, I really said that I couldn't find anything, and I really didn't know what the hell I was doing. ”

As a difficult brother, Commander Cheng expressed deep sympathy, and then analyzed: "Lao Feng, you said that the cannon and weapons we buried will be dug up first?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Yunlong, who was a bit of a thief on the side, coughed dryly and said: "I said Cheng Blind, this eliminated the devil in the battle, and it was too late to take away the heavy weapon, bury it on the spot, and it is common to find it when you look back, how do you know that it was dug up?" ”

Commander Cheng hurriedly said: "Where is the cannon buried, I asked the soldiers to mark it in advance, how could it be wrong?"

But if you look back and say that you can't dig anything, it must have been poached. ”

Li Yunlong glared, flicked his ass directly from the stool, and scolded: "Cheng Blind, what do you mean kid?" When you joined the army, who taught you how to shoot a gun? Do you mean that Lao Tzu can't dig it? ”

Kong Jie on the side was a little dumbfounded, what kind of madness is Lao Li doing today?

Pulling Lao Li from the side, Kong Jie said, "Lao Li, what are you in a hurry?" Lao Cheng didn't say that you dug it. ”

Lao Li, who suddenly came back to his senses, was stunned, and the expression that was still grinning immediately turned into a smile, "Oh oh-", and sat down on the stool again.

Regiment Commander Feng snorted and said, "Old Cheng, don't worry, speaking of which, I lost eight more heavy machine guns than you!"

What Lao Li said is also possible, could it be that the situation was urgent at the time, and it was indeed buried in the wrong place, so it couldn't be dug up after coming back?

If it was really poached, could it be dug up by devils and puppet soldiers?

We also know that the devil has a mine detector in his hand, and that thing is very keen to detect metal, and the guns we bury in the ground can be easily detected. ”

"This ......" Regiment Leader Cheng also hesitated a little, "It's really possible, forget it, go back and ask the surrounding villagers to see which troops have been on the previous battlefield after our battle is over." ”

Li Yunlong: "......"

Gotta finish the calf......

"Lao Li, what's wrong with you, your face is so ugly?" Kong Jie, who was perceptive on the side, asked with a smile.

When Commander Cheng and Commander Feng complained that the buried artillery was dug up, Kong Jie didn't think much about it, but now he calmed down and pondered it carefully.

The only one who can do this kind of damage is probably Lao Li.

Looking at Lao Li's anxious eyes before, as well as his current expression, this matter is inseparable.

Kong Jie suddenly had a score in his heart.

Li Yunlong turned his head and glanced at Kong Jie, and turned his worries into happiness: "I'm worried about how to calculate the salary with your old Kong after I get to the independent regiment?" ”

Kong Jie smiled evilly, leaned a little closer to Li Yunlong's ear, and said in a low voice: "The eight heavy machine guns that you Lao Li dug out, as well as four infantry guns, are this not enough wages?" ”

Hearing this, Li Yunlong was dumbfounded, "Damn, Lao Kong, you ......"

……

The tremendous victory of this anti-sweeping campaign has, to a great extent, improved the situation of the Eighth Route Army, which has become more and more difficult since the Zhengtai Campaign.

The meeting was another commendation meeting, and the atmosphere of the whole meeting was quite harmonious, and the laughter of the generals was heard from time to time.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and the brigade commander and political commissar respectively praised the regimental commanders and affirmed the merits of the regiments in this sweep.

In the end, the political commissar said with a smile: "Comrades, in addition to commending you, in addition, the brigade commander and I have one more thing to announce, which is also the latest instruction conveyed by the headquarters.

From now on, our brigade is composed of the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment, and the three regiments of the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi Province led by three comrades, Kong Jie, Ding Wei, and Li Yunlong, and the joint defense base area has been formally established.

Everyone applauds! ”

Thunderous applause rang out instantly, and cheerful smiles filled the faces of the three old comrades-in-arms, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei.

The Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi, from this moment on, is officially recognized by the Eighth Route Army.

The chief of staff said with a smile: "The formation of the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi Province is a gratifying and congratulatory thing, and in this anti-sweeping operation, the three regiments of the Iron Triangle led by Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei have performed amazingly in their joint attack and defense, and everyone has also seen it. ”

"I think that after this battle, the name of the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi will not only spread within our Eighth Route Army, but also in terms of the Japanese army, the puppet army, the national army, and the Jin Sui army."

"What am I trying to say? The three comrades, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei, have set a good example for us. ”

"In the future, in the process of developing the base area and strengthening the defense construction, everyone is the head of the regiment, so you might as well use your brains more, or you can learn from the model of Kong Jie and the three of them, and consider whether the defense of the garrison between each other can be coordinated to achieve a more stable state."

"In this regard, the attitude of the headquarters and the brigade headquarters is encouraging and affirming everyone."

And in fact, even if the chief of staff does not say.

The brilliance of the Iron Triangle in this anti-sweep has long made the other regiment commanders aware of the power of joint operations and defense.

After going back, it is estimated that I will have to figure out which fraternal troops in the surrounding areas will be united to form a unified fortification.

In this way, until the end of the commendation meeting held at the brigade headquarters.

Among them, the most praised by name were naturally Kong Jie and the Independent Regiment, and then the other two regiments of the Iron Triangle, the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment.

So much so that during the whole meeting, Lao Li's big head basically never hung down......
