The two sides officially met, and they haven't seen each other for some years, so naturally they can't help but sigh and sigh.

"Brigadier Commander!"

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie saluted honestly, don't listen to Lao Li's bragging, what is the boss, he is the second.

The man in front of him and the old brigade commander were both influential figures in the same period, and even served as a military commander during the Red Army.

When he saw Lao Li, he still turned into a good baby.

Brigade Commander Zhang smiled heartily: "Haha, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, we haven't seen each other for many years, right?" ”

This is the truth.

In fact, not to mention Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, even although the old brigade commander and Brigade Commander Zhang knew each other, they didn't have many opportunities to get along.

However, the acquaintance and fellowship of these pure revolutionary ancestors can be said to be "confidants are not too short for a moment, and words are not speculative for half a life".

Before the Red Army met the divisions, not to mention the commanders of the grass-roots units like Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, even some high-level commanders, they didn't know each other at all.

But as soon as they met, they still hugged each other warmly, just like brothers.

At the beginning, after the Red Second Front Army and the Red Fourth Front Army met, it was at that time that Li Yunlong and Kong Jie met with the old brigade commander and Brigade Commander Zhang.

When they met, the old brigade commander only focused on Li Yunlong: "Lao Zhang, what do you guess this big-headed guy is doing in our first division?" ”

said that Brigade Commander Zhang also likes to joke, and then replied with a smile: "Isn't it a fellow?" ”

At that time, Brigade Commander Zhang's words directly stunned Li Yunlong.

On the one hand, I feel aggrieved, our old Li is also the commander of the main regiment of the first division, why is he a man?

But when he turned his head, he had to admit that because when he was crossing the grassland, Li Yunlong was directly sent to the cooking class to take the blame, what is this not a guy?

Or I have to say that Brigade Commander Zhang is a ruthless man with eyes like a torch!

The old brigade commander couldn't laugh at the time, and asked rhetorically: "Lao Zhang, how do you know that he is a fellow?" ”

"Big head, thick neck, what's not a guy?" Brigade Commander Zhang asked solemnly.

Hahaha –

As he spoke, the old brigade commander and brigade commander Zhang laughed together.

This is the situation when Li Yunlong met Brigade Commander Zhang for the first time after the two parties met, and it is still fresh in Li Yunlong's memory!

In the end, when the old brigade commander introduced Li Yunlong.

Brigade Commander Zhang said with a smile: "I've heard of it, I've heard that your first division has such a thorny commander, when he crossed the grassland, he dared to set up troops to collect food, but he was directly sent to the cooking class, it turned out to be the one in front of him!" ”

As for Kong Jie, he was also on the left side of the old brigade commander at that time, and Li Yunlong stood on the right side of the old brigade commander.

It's just that Kong Jie's appearance is real, and he has been silent during the period, so he doesn't have much sense of existence, and Brigade Commander Zhang is a little impressed.

But in the past few years, Kong Jie's reputation has spread throughout the entire northwest of Jin, and even throughout the entire Sanjin.

The contrast between before and after made Brigade Commander Zhang and Li Yunlong greet each other, and then said to Kong Jie with a smile: "Kong Jie, you have really impressed us all these years!" ”

Kong Jie smiled: "Brigade commander, you know, I have a stupid head, as the old saying goes, stupid birds fly first!" ”

"What a stupid bird flies first, if you want me to say, you know that the one who flies first, that's not a stupid bird!" Brigade Commander Zhang's words were full of emotion: "In the past few years, the development of your team can be said to be an example and model for our Eighth Route Army!" ”

To say that the commander of the 358th Brigade in front of him and the old commander of the 386th Brigade still have some origins.

At first, after the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the original brigade commander of the 385th Brigade was served by Brigade Commander Lu according to the orders of his superiors, and Brigade Commander Lu was the old brigade commander's hair.

This is later, some people say that Brigade Commander Lu has warlordism.

Since Brigade Commander Lu's temperament is quite similar to that of the old brigade commander, after learning of this, Brigade Commander Lu was immediately furious, did not go to work, and went to the Soviet Union to study.

As a result, the commander of the 358 Brigade was served by Brigade Commander Zhang.

Brigade Commander Zhang graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, was born in a professional class, and has a deep cultural heritage.

Speaking of qualifications, this Brigade Commander Zhang is not bad at all compared to Li Yunlong and Kong Jie's old brigade commanders.

Therefore, in front of this brigade commander, whether it is Kong Jie or Li Yunlong, they are all respectful.

After a few moments.

Almost without a trace, the eyes of both sides looked at the troops brought by each other.

As Kong Jie and Li Yunlong saw as far as they could see, they saw the troops composed of more than 100 soldiers of the 120th Division who followed behind Brigade Commander Zhang, and their faces were also a little surprised.

The first impression for Kong Jie and Li Yunlong was:

The brother troops of the 120th Division are also well equipped!

Unified standard military uniforms, although wearing cloth shoes, but clean and tidy, most of the backs are 38 rifles, and many even carry medium formal.

They all wore steel helmets on their heads, each with two or three grenades tied to their chests, and the bullet bags seemed to be bulging, as if they were full of bullets.

Looking at the past, it can be said that the soldiers are strong and strong, and they are basically armed to the teeth.

It seems that the equipment level of the brother units of the 120th Division is not as bad as we imagined!

As everyone knows.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie didn't notice that when they saw the group of mechanized combat troops coming over with Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, their eyes were almost round.

Boy!

Brigade Commander Zhang swore that he had never seen so many mechanized combat vehicles since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

At least forty or fifty tanks, right?

Among them, there are four or five armored vehicles, as well as twenty or thirty military vehicles, including some military motorcycles and the like.

And they are all modified, those transport vehicles that might have been used by the devils to transport supplies or soldiers, at a glance, you can even see those light machine guns that are clearly stuck on the edge of the carriage, deliberately creating machine gun muzzles, and even heavy machine guns.

Including those three-wheeled military motorcycles, the co-pilot is basically mounted with a machine gun.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie jumped out of the car and met with Brigade Commander Zhang, behind them, the soldiers in the combat vehicles also rushed out.

The steel helmets are all the same, and unlike the captured Japanese-style steel helmets brought by the soldiers of the 120th Division, the steel helmets worn by the soldiers of the 129th Division seem to have been transformed.

It can even be said to belong to the Eighth Route Army-style steel helmet.

These steel helmets are earthy gray as a whole, and at first glance they seem to be similar to the military hats usually worn by the Eighth Route Army, but they are obviously equipped with steel plates, and the inside seems to be lined with softness, and they are worn on the head, which is called a comfortable one.

Anyway, in this cold winter, Layue was standing outside here, and it didn't take long for many of the soldiers of the 120th Division who followed behind Brigade Commander Zhang to have their ears frozen and a little red.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the 129th Division on the opposite side are still full of red light, and they don't know if the daily food is too good, and they are raised, or if the equipment is full of equipment from steel helmets to cotton clothes and pants, as well as cotton military boots, it is really too warm.

As for the equipment used......

In Brigade Commander Zhang's view, the Type 38 rifle and the medium-formal rifle are already the top rifles.

But what did he see at the moment?

Grandma's, it's really more popular than people, the soldiers from the 129th Division, there are five or six hundred people at this glance, and all of them are carrying American-style Garand rifles.

This is the most advanced semi-automatic rifle of the US military, not to mention the larger ammunition capacity, and pulling the trigger is a shot, which is much better than the conventional bolt-action rifles on the Chinese battlefield.

If it is really compared with the 38-type and the Chinese formal rifle, the two sides are not on the same level at all.

In addition to these American-style semi-automatic rifles, there are also many submachine guns that the soldiers carry on their chests, and even Brigade Commander Zhang has never seen before.

It is different from the flower mechanism and Jinzao submachine gun that Brigade Commander Zhang understands.

This is an American M1 submachine gun.

All of a sudden, the equipment of both sides was judged.

Brigade Commander Zhang finally realized how stupid it was to compare equipment with the troops led by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, and he had already brought the most elite guard company of the 358 Brigade over.

As a result, he was directly crushed by the equipment of Li Yunlong and Kong Jie's team.

Ahem, cough, cough –

After retracting his gaze, he coughed lightly twice, and Brigade Commander Zhang said that he would take the comrades brought by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie to the base area to rest and rest temporarily.

"It's been all the way, and it's freezing cold, and the soldiers are just afraid that they will be hungry, right?"

Originally, Brigade Commander Zhang subconsciously wanted to add, "Frozen, right?" ”

But after thinking about it, these soldiers of the 129th Division were simply wrapped into rice dumplings one by one, and it would be hellish if they could freeze.

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion who followed Li Yunlong, didn't think about it, and said: "Brigade commander, we are not hungry, we are eating canned snacks on the road, and our stomachs are still holding ......."

"Da Biao! Look at what you said, when we arrived at the 385th Brigade, could Brigade Commander Zhang still treat us badly? Li Yunlong is also a sophisticated person, and immediately interrupted Zhang Dabiao's words.

】

"Hehe, this kid is just ignorant, brigade commander, hurry up, and let us taste the craftsmanship of our comrades in the Northwest Military Region!"

Brigade Commander Zhang smiled and nodded, and then took Li Yunlong and Kong Jie and his party back to the base area to vacate the residential area for the comrades of the 129th Division.

Li Yunlong said: "Brigade commander, our car is fast, why don't we take the car back together?" ”

As the old saying goes, people are not poor.

Although the entire 358 Brigade seems to have captured three or five military vehicles from the little devils, they are basically piled up in the warehouse because of the lack of fuel, like a pile of broken copper and iron.

But we can't even walk, do we?

Isn't it just a little more than a little wind and snow?

Thinking of this, Brigade Commander Zhang refused on the spot: "No, no, it's only a few steps away, let's still practice our feet if we have nothing to do, and we can't forget the fundamental ...... of our Red Army."

A few minutes later.

Sit in the co-pilot of a military car with glass windows on both sides, and warm.

Feel the behemoth under the ass roaring in the roar of the engine, driving in the direction of the base area at a speed far beyond the foot power of conventional infantry.

Brigade Commander Zhang's face bloomed with joy, "Good thing!" It's more comfortable than riding a horse! ”

As for the soldiers of a company that came with him, they basically crowded into all kinds of combat vehicles.

The company commander sat on the passenger seat of the motorcycle next to the military car, and shouted excitedly: "Brigade commander, I can brag to Lao Liu and the others when I go back this time, saying that we have also been in the car!" ”

Brigadier Zhang: "......"

He looked at the commander of the guard company with an excited face with a black line on his head, and sent two words directly in his heart - out of breath!

The comrades of the 358 Brigade specially vacated the garrison area for Li Yunlong and Kong Jie and their entourage, and the soldiers who had been transferred from various cooking squads had already been busy opening it, and the large cauldrons and small pots were steaming and fragrant.

After the vehicle arrived at the place, the personnel quickly got out of the car.

Not to mention, this car is really comfortable to sit in, Brigade Commander Zhang was quite reluctant, and when he got out of the car, he patted and sat all the way, and was sat in the hot seat of the buttocks.

The scent was already wafting not far away.

Brigade Commander Zhang greeted with a smile: "Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, hurry up, don't delay, beckon comrades to prepare for dinner!"

In order to welcome your arrival this time, I specially arranged for the comrades of the cooking class to cook a good meal for you! ”

The soldiers of the 129th Division, who were following Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, were naturally happy, and hurriedly rushed to the place, unveiled the iron pot according to the fragrance, and immediately recognized that the comrades of the 358th Brigade were making a pot of boiled potatoes with elm noodles for everyone.

The so-called elm noodles, that is, noodles made of elm bark, add potatoes, add a little oil, stir-fry until fragrant, add water and boil a pot, mixed with the mellow aroma of potatoes and elm noodles.

In this way, in this era of artillery fire and lack of expensive materials, it can be described as a delicacy!

The fighters of the detachment and the new regiment were not picky.

However, in the past two years, all kinds of canned meat, snacks, vegetables, and rice have been nourished.

Zhang Dabiao took a bowl of steaming potato and elm noodles enthusiastically handed over by the comrades of the cooking class, tasted it, and couldn't help but say:

"Leader, this taste is good, the fragrance is fragrant, but unfortunately there is too little oil and water, compared to the aroma of meat, it is still worse!"

Isn't this nonsense? Eating meat is eating meat, and being vegetarian is eating vegetarian, can it be the same?

"Da Biao, Da Biao, can't you stop your kid's mouth with such good food?"

Li Yunlong immediately glared at him with his eyes.

Fortunately, Brigade Commander Zhang was still far away and did not hear it.

After half a bowl of boiled potatoes with elm noodles in the bowl, Li Yunlong turned his head, lowered his voice slightly, and said to Zhang Dabiao: "Tell comrades, what conditions to eat, our conditions have been better over the years, but don't forget how I came here a few years ago, no one is allowed to talk nonsense to me."

It has not been easy for the comrades of the Northwest Military Region these years. ”

But in the end, Li Yunlong was still relieved: "...... If you really don't eat well, let's set up another pot by ourselves in the evening and add some food! ”

"Huh!" Zhang Dabiao immediately responded with a smile.

Then. Kong Jie, who was not far away, suddenly asked, "Old squad leader, what do our comrades of the 120th Division usually eat?" ”

The leader of the cooking squad who was questioned replied with a smile: "Wild vegetable ......"

"Lao Zhang, hurry up, add a fire, I see that the fire in the stove is about to go out!" Brigade Commander Zhang's voice suddenly came, interrupting the words of the cooking squad leader.

"Yes!" The old squad leader answered, and hurriedly ran to the stove to fill the firewood.

Kong Jie continued to bury his head in the meal and did not say anything more.

Soon, after all the bowls of potatoes and elm noodles were wiped out, and even the peas were licked clean, Kong Jie stood up and greeted several company commanders and platoon commanders around him:

"You're done eating, aren't you? Let's go, come with me! ”
