Chapter 3: To send a political commissar to the new regiment
"Brigade commander, you dissipate your anger, make it down and drink a glass of water first, I have already sent someone to fetch the cavalry equipment of that battalion, but it will take time to go back and forth, but I promise that I will send a battalion of horse equipment to you to the brigade headquarters tomorrow." Yan Jiecheng picked up the teapot and poured water for the brigade commander, nodding and saying.
If you don't bow your head, who will let you still carry the punishment on your back, if you provoke the brigade commander again, then you will be assigned to the quilt factory as the factory director.
Although he knew that even if he went to the quilt factory, it would not take long for him to be reused, Yan Jiecheng still preferred to stay in the current army, after all, the soldiers of this unit had been trained by Li Yunlong for almost a year, and the combat effectiveness was not comparable to Kong Jie's independent regiment.
Moreover, the weapons and equipment of the independent regiment are not as good as the new regiment now, so there is no need to leave the current good team and help Kong Jie clean up the mess.
"Hmph, let me tell you Li Yunlong, I haven't counted the matter of disobedience on the battlefield last time, don't think that giving me a battalion of horses and equipment can round things up, merit is merit or demerit, even if you make great contributions, you still have to be punished." The brigade commander picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, and then reprimanded Yan Jiecheng with a straight face.
"I know, I know that the brigade commander said that you love me, and I don't want to disobey the battlefield either, but when the order from the headquarters came down, the enemy had already launched a charge against our department, and the distance was only more than two hundred meters, and if we broke through from behind according to the order of the headquarters, the enemy would definitely press up, and even if the new regiment could break through the enemy's siege, the troops would have to suffer at least half of the casualties." Yan Jiecheng stood beside the brigade commander and said with some grievances.
After all, a crying child has milk to eat, and if he doesn't complain, the brigade commander won't know his difficulties.
After listening to Yan Jiecheng's words, the brigade commander was silent for a while, and to say why the Eighth Route Army was able to survive on the battlefield behind enemy lines, it was mainly due to the flexible command of these grassroots officers.
After all, the Eighth Route Army is not as good as the Central Army, the command system can only be contacted at the brigade level, and then it will depend on people to contact.
But this cannot be an excuse for disobedience on the battlefield, after all, the order has already been issued, even if you know that the front is a dead end, you have to carry it out, otherwise how will the headquarters command the troops to fight in the future.
The brigade commander knew that this precedent would definitely not be opened, but he could not take Li Yunlong's cavalry equipment from a battalion for nothing.
So the brigade commander pondered for a while and said: "No matter how many excuses you have, it is not a reason for your disobedience on the battlefield, but I can't take your Li Yunlong's equipment in vain, so let's wait for me to go back and call the head of the headquarters to help you plead for mercy, but I can't guarantee what will happen in the end, and finally I will warn you again, if such a thing happens in the future, I will be the first to kill you without waiting for the boss to speak."
"Yes, yes, yes, I know that the brigade commander is facing me, I promise this is the last time, if there is a next time, you don't need to do it, I will screw off my head and send it to you." Yan Jiecheng knew that since the brigade commander had promised something, he would definitely do it, so he put down his heart and said with a hippie smile. ….
[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]
Said it.
"Hmph, there's nothing in this world that you Li Yunlong doesn't dare to do." After the brigade commander finished speaking, he went out directly, got on his war horse, and rode away.
It wasn't until there was no brigade elder in the distance that Li Yunlong turned around and entered the house, lying on the bed and taking stock of the materials in the space.
In addition to thousands of books of all kinds in a 1,000-meter space, most of the savings are grain and meat, and he didn't know that he would come to this world before, and he didn't prepare in advance.
Although this food seems to be a lot, for an army of more than 1,000 people, it will last for a month at most.
Not to mention those books, which are not as valuable as a bag of grain in this day and age.
After counting the materials in the space, Li Yunlong came to the warehouse and took out some grain and meat, not much, only 2,000 catties of flour and 500 catties of pork.
The main thing is to improve the food for the soldiers, and also to free up some space for the next thing.
At this time, the brigade commander also rode back to the brigade headquarters.
"Go, tell the messenger to give me the number to HQ." The brigade commander did not rush back to the house after dismounting, but ordered to the guards on the side.
"Hey, hello, this is the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, who are you looking for?"
"I'm the commander of the 386 Brigade, and I have something important to report to the chief." The brigade commander came to the communication room, picked up the phone, and said to the other side.
After waiting for a while, the voice of the head of the headquarters sounded on the other side: "Hey, Lao Chen, what are you looking for me?"
"What, you're going to bring that bastard boy to intercede? Tell me, what good has he given you." The head of the headquarters knew Brigade Commander Chen's character, and he would definitely not mention Li Yunlong if it was not beneficial, after all, this was a major matter of battlefield disobedience.
"What, the horse equipment of a cavalry battalion, God, where did Li Yunlong make his fortune." The head of the headquarters asked in some surprise.
You must know that there are only two divisions of the Eighth Route Army now, although the number is a little large, but the equipment cannot keep up, there is no shortage of guns and ammunition, even food and military uniforms, not to mention cavalry. ….
Take the 386th Brigade as an example, the horses of the entire brigade together are not enough to make up a cavalry battalion.
"However, even if he hands over the horse equipment of a cavalry battalion, it cannot revoke the punishment imposed on him by the headquarters, after all, disobedience on the battlefield is not child's play." The head of the headquarters thought about it, he wanted the cavalry battalion, and the punishment for Li Yunlong could not be exempted, but he could not directly remove Li Yunlong from the post of commander of the new regiment as he did at the beginning, after all, people handed over a battalion of cavalry equipment, and it could not make people feel cold.
So the head of the headquarters continued: "In this way, although the punishment is unavoidable, it can also be discussed, you can tell me what punishment is good for him."
"Demoted to the acting head of the new regiment, let him be guilty of meritorious service." Hearing the brigade commander's words, the head of the headquarters thought for a moment and then spoke: "Okay, that's it, but you have to tell him that I won't give him another chance if he makes such a mistake next time, and even if he contributes a lot, I will kill him."
…………
Li Yunlong informed the cooking squad that he would make dumplings for the soldiers tonight to improve their food, and then went back to the house and went straight to bed, and did not even get up at night when the guards called him to eat.
Early the next morning, when Li Yunlong got up, Zhang Dabiao had already brought back a battalion of cavalry equipment.
At this time, he was on the training ground, and he was discussing with Sun Desheng about the establishment of a cavalry battalion in the new regiment.
"Commander, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, and the cavalry equipment of a battalion was brought back to you one by one." When Zhang Dabiao saw Li Yunlong coming, he immediately gave a military salute and then spoke, looking like he was inviting merit.
"Alright, hurry up and tell the soldiers to stop, and wait to get these horses and equipment to the brigade headquarters." Li Yunlong waved his hand and shouted.
"Captain, this ......." Zhang Dabiao didn't know what to say at this time, he had just brought the equipment back to the regiment commander and was about to give it to the brigade commander, so why did he run so far.
And Sun Desheng on the side heard Li Yunlong's words and immediately stopped doing it: "Commander, how can you do this, let's do it."
The cavalry equipment that was finally obtained, the soldiers paid so much sweat, why should they give it to the brigade commander? Even if you send it, you can't send it all, so why don't we have to leave a company in our group."
"Am I willing to give our regiment's cavalry equipment to the brigade commander? I know you'd love to be cavalry, but not this time." Yan Jiecheng said loudly.
"Commander, is it our regiment's last battlefield disobedience?" After Zhang Dabiao heard Yan Jiecheng's explanation, he immediately thought of the last time their regiment disobeyed the battlefield and broke through from the front, so he asked Li Yunlong.
"That's right, the brigade commander said, if you don't send him the cavalry equipment of this battalion, I don't want to do the position of regiment commander, and even if there is no such thing, our regiment can't afford to raise this battalion of cavalry." After speaking, Li Yunlong turned to Sun Desheng and said, "Old Sun, I know that you want to lead the cavalry, I promise, in the future, our regiment will definitely set up a cavalry battalion, and you will be the commander of this battalion when the time comes, but it will definitely not work now, the conditions are not yet ripe."
Although Sun Desheng was still a little reluctant, he couldn't help it, and he didn't want to trouble Li Yunlong for his own selfish desires. ….
"Da Biao, there were no accidents this time." Li Yunlong asked Zhang Dabiao while looking at the horses on the training ground.
"I've gone out in person, what else can I have an accident, besides, it's not that I Zhang Dabiao looks down on them for the combat effectiveness of the puppet army, they don't even deserve to lift shoes for our soldiers." Zhang Dabiao said in a domineering tone.
"It's good that nothing happens, okay, you take the soldiers back to rest first, and come to the command room in the evening, let's have a meeting." Li Yunlong sent Zhang Dabiao away, and said to Sun Desheng on the side: "Old Sun, wait a minute, you will send the horses and equipment of this battalion to the brigade commander. By the way, I will only send equipment, and I will leave all the grain, grass and military uniforms of the puppet army to move to the warehouse."
"Got it." Sun Desheng agreed and then commanded people to start carrying supplies, after all, this is a battalion of puppet troops, especially cavalry, and the supplies needed are not comparable to ordinary troops.
There are tens of thousands of catties of forage for the horses alone, not counting the food for people to eat, and there are some canned food.
"Commander, you can see these boxes of cigarettes ......." One of the soldiers carrying supplies asked Li Yunlong, meaning that he wanted to stay and share a bag to taste.
"Leave me a dozen packets, and you can divide the rest." Li Yunlong said a sigh and left without looking back.
………
The brigade commander received the equipment of a cavalry battalion sent by Li Yunlong, and left one company for himself, and the equipment of the remaining two companies was immediately sent to the head of the headquarters.
"Lao Chen, although Li Yunlong, a bastard kid, likes to make mistakes sometimes, he is really good at leading troops to fight and equipping him." The head of the headquarters looked at the more than two hundred war horses and cavalry guns sent by Brigade Commander Chen, and said with some hot eyes.
"Yes, after all, he doesn't have much culture, so we can't ask too much of him." Brigade Commander Chen sighed and said that most of the grassroots cadres of the Eighth Route Army, especially the military commanders, were born with mud legs, and although they were bent on defecting to the revolution, they still had some bad habits in their bones, some of them were too selfish, and some of them were fond of engaging in small hills.
But this can't be helped, now the domestic situation is like this, most of the people with high education are from good backgrounds, and the most secondary is the landlord class, after all, ordinary people don't have the money and heart to send their children to school.
"Do you think this is good, isn't the new regiment concurrently served by Li Yunlong since the political commissar died, let's send him a political commissar with a high level of education, so that he can still watch him and avoid this kid from making mistakes in the future." The head of the headquarters thought for a while and said to Brigade Commander Chen on the side, after all, the Eighth Route Army is the party's command of the gun, and it is not okay to pick a son at a critical moment like Li Yunlong, there must be someone to take care of him and watch him all the time, so that he can rest assured.
"It's not impossible, but you also know that Li Yunlong has a bad temper and can't get along with several political commissars, if it affects the combat effectiveness of the troops for this reason...... Brigade Commander Chen frowned and said, this is also what he is worried about, otherwise with his character, he would have sent the political commissar over a long time ago, how could he wait until now.
"No matter what, the army can't do without a political commissar, this political commissar must be sent to Li Yunlong, if the troops have no combat effectiveness because of the political commissar being sent, then
It's him Li Yunlong's reason, and I'll see how I clean him up when the time comes." The head of the headquarters slapped his hand heavily on the table and said angrily.
"Okay, so who's going to let you go?"
"Well, that's a problem." When the head of the headquarters heard the brigade commander's words, he thought about it while circling around the table, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered a person in his mind, so he immediately said, "What do you think of Comrade Zhao Gang?"
"Don't say it, it's really good, but isn't he studying at Kang University?" Brigade Commander Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this name, he knew Zhao Gang, he participated in the revolution very early, and led the 129 Movement, not only in terms of culture but also in knowledge, he can be regarded as outstanding, if he is sent to be the political commissar of the new regiment, it is really Li Yunlong's creation.
