Chapter 48: I Don't Want to Go to School!
On May 11, 1940, the Taiyue base of the Eighth Route Army, Zhaojiayu
The news of the attack on Xi'an Airport by Yamamoto's special forces has not yet come back, but Li Yunlong, who is newly married to Yan'er, already feels that his whole person is not good, because early in the morning, Brigade Commander Chen brought him a news that was almost a bolt from the blue, according to the agreement reached between northern Shaanxi and Chongqing, the 1000th Regiment of the Provisional Army of the National Revolutionary Army will be moved to Chongqing in early July, and Li Yunlong himself will enter the "Huaxia Naval Officer School" to study.
Originally, the Standing Committee Chairman wanted Li Yunlong to move to Chongqing, and then he himself went to Chengdu to enroll in the Third Brigade of the 17th Huangpu Squadron, so that it would be convenient for them to dismantle the 1,000th Provisional Regiment and also for them to win over Li Yunlong himself, but the northern Shaanxi side did not agree at all, and after several rounds of negotiations between the two sides, they reached such a plan: The 1,000 Regiment was moved to Chongqing, while Li Yunlong went to the nearby "Huaxia Naval Officer School" on Zhongba Island, Mudong Town, Ba County, to study.
"Brigade commander, you know, our old Li doesn't even know what the navy looks like, what kind of navy it is, isn't this a joke?" Li Yunlong had a bitter face, the joy of the newlywed Yan'er was gone, for him this is definitely a person sitting at home, disaster comes from the sky, it is not terrible to go to the Guotong region, even if he takes a regiment to kill the Guotong area, he will not be timid, but what is it to lead the troops to move to Chongqing? He is the unit of a regiment, there are at least 100,000 elite national troops near Chongqing, even if his 1,000 regiments are iron, he can't bear it, he is really worried that he will not be able to bring the troops back.
As for going to school, although Political Commissar Zhao is also teaching Li Yunlong to read and write, but he knows what level he is, at best, he can roughly understand the level of the document, so he still doesn't know at least thirty percent of the words, let him read, isn't that an out-and-out joke?
"Li Yunlong, this is an order, an order at the highest level, there is no room for bargaining, all you have to do is accept the order, and then complete the task!" The brigade commander couldn't help laughing and seriously scolded Li Yunlong, compared with the frontal battlefield fighting, it may be more dangerous to go to the national control area, and with Li Yunlong's character, if he really goes to study at the Huaxia Naval Academy, it will be difficult, but the decision of northern Shaanxi is the decision of northern Shaanxi, and both he and Li Yunlong must obey.
"Brigade commander, can you have a discussion, a little later, most of the soldiers of the 1000 regiment are from Jin Province, and they will go to Sichuan Province all at once, so everyone has to have time to talk to their families." Li Yunlong's eyes rolled, and he said in his heart Since he can't refuse this order, let the big guys come together to help him, and it's not a combat mission, if the cadres and soldiers are unwilling to go to Chongqing, it is estimated that the superiors will also consider it, and the longer it drags on, the greater the chance of variables, what if Chairman Chang doesn't like him one day?
"Li Yunlong, I warn you, don't think nonsense, this is a well-thought-out decision in northern Shaanxi, no one can change it, you think I want to put the main regiment in my hand to Chongqing, this is the overall situation, in order to consolidate the united front, so that the people of the whole country can see that we are actively resisting the war and obeying the orders of the government, you and the 1000 regiment must carry out the order!" What Li Yunlong thinks, the brigade commander can guess a thing or two, and if he does other things, maybe he can pretend to be stupid and cooperate with Li Yunlong, but now, don't say that this matter is him, and even the opposition of the deputy commander-in-chief is useless.
"Brigade commander, it's not that I don't want to go, I'm worried that I'm going to get into trouble, every day under your nose, I often get into trouble, if I go to Chongqing, your love will really be uncontrollable." Li Yunlong said embarrassedly, this is not a lie, he knows what his temper is, when he arrives in the national control area, he is still in the middle of a bunch of national troops, and when the time comes, there is no need for people to deliberately engage in friction, and the 1,000 regiments will be in constant trouble.
"After arriving in Chongqing, you will temporarily be under the direct leadership of the Southern Bureau, and Comrade Zhou Bicheng (check it yourself) will arrange work for you, in addition, I also have confidence in Comrade Zhao Gang, with him watching by your side, it is not a big problem, you must understand that in the Guotong Region, you must listen to Comrade Zhao Gang's opinions more!" Brigade Commander Chen is actually curious, what will the old leader do to use Li Yunlong, could it be that he let him join the Social Department, this is too nonsense.
"I have a lot of problems, greedy for money, greedy for wine, and Cheng Blind also said that I am lustful, and I am worried that I will not be able to withstand the temptation of the enemy." Lao Li continued to express his worries aggrievedly.
"I'm not worried about being greedy for money, if you Li Yunlong are greedy for money, you won't care about He Yi, the standing chairman, I don't care about the cup of greed, I don't worry about the amount of alcohol you drink, as for being lustful? Comrade Zhao Xiuqin will go to Chongqing with you, if you dare to come here, I believe Comrade Xiuqin will solve it for us! When it came to Zhao Xiuqin, the brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong with bad intentions, he had heard that the little couple had another round of drinks after they went back last night, and the result was that Zhao Xiuqin went to the headquarters hospital early this morning to help, and Li Yunlong was woken up by himself.
"Then our Lao Li will thank you, the brigade leader!" Li Yunlong laughed when he heard this, and let him take his daughter-in-law when he went far away, this matter must be that the organization is taking care of himself, after all, he is newly married, and Lao Li can't bear the taste of blending water and milk.
"I'll be honest with you, the organization is already forming an air force, and soon our Eighth Route Army will have its own air force, and the next step will definitely be to try to form a surface ship force, so you will definitely go to the military academy this time to let you mix your qualifications, but to really learn your skills, maybe, you Li Yunlong will be the future naval commander of our Eighth Route Army." Brigade Commander Chen smiled and patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder, over there Wang Yue took five tons of gold and 10 million oceans of goods from the Eighth Route Army, and soon brought in the corresponding weapons and equipment, including 60 aircraft, although it is not an advanced thing, but for the Eighth Route Army, it is already a great difficulty, and northern Shaanxi has decided to form an aviation team in the Taiyue Military Region and officially start to form its own air force.
"Brigade commander, you know that fooling our Lao Li, now our navy is completely wiped out, and the outlet to the sea is gone, even if our Lao Li learns the navy and buys a warship, there is no place to be a base." Li Yunlong said with some curtle, and said in his heart, Lao Li doesn't know anything about the navy, but he also knows that the navy must have a sea first, and all the outlets to the sea have been lost, where did the navy come from.
"If there are no conditions now, it does not mean that there will be no conditions in the future, and if we defeat the little devils in the future, don't we need the navy? If we capture the devil's warship, will we just throw it away? As for the access to the sea, Monk Xu has many ports. Brigade Commander Chen told him uneasily, Li Yunlong, how many political commissars have told him that he doesn't like to study anymore, and the matter of going to a military school is really not reassuring.
"Brigade commander, don't worry, our Lao Li will definitely not be lazy, but I am afraid that if we don't learn well, we will be embarrassed by the Eighth Route Army, or you let Lao Zhao accompany me to the Raushzi Military Academy." Li Yunlong suggested, of course, what he thought was simply that he could copy Zhao Gang's homework in the future.
"This issue has also been raised organizationally, but Chongqing does not agree, the navy is different from the army, and the cost of training a naval officer is very high, and even your quota is said to be personally asked by the chairman of the committee from the Admiralty." Brigade Commander Chen shook his head, the Ministry of Social Affairs has also investigated the situation of the military academy, and the main reliance is on a few river defense warships of several hundred tons to train officers, and the places that can be provided are mainly practical and supplemented by theory, especially the places in the navigation class like Li Yunlong, which are particularly rare and precious.
"Brigade commander, will my 1000 regiment still have a chance to fight after that? Otherwise, just change all the weapons and leave them to the brigade. Li Yunlong thought that he might have to stumble in the rear, and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated in his heart, and even felt that the weapons and equipment he begged Wang Yue for were a bit wasteful.
"According to the instructions of the superiors, considering the transportation problem, the twelve tanks and nine 75mm guns of your department will remain in the base area, but all the personnel and light and heavy weapons will remain unchanged, let you take them to Chongqing together, and you will never give Chongqing a little excuse!" Brigade Commander Chen said solemnly.
"Take the technical arms with you?" Li Yunlong couldn't help but wonder, since he didn't bring tanks and artillery, what did he do with technical troops?
"Take it away, everything is in accordance with the roster we declared to the Ministry of Military Affairs, no discount!" The brigade commander is also reluctant, if it is left by the technical troops, it can take advantage of the situation to leave Li Yunlong's tanks and artillery in the 386 Brigade, but now, it can only be handed over to the headquarters organs.
"Brigadier, is there something I don't know about?" Li Yunlong obviously felt that something was wrong.
"According to the intelligence of the Ministry of Social Affairs, the Chongqing government, including the Standing Committee Chairman, has opinions on the joint war of resistance, and it seems that a major operation against us is being planned, and with the expansion of the war in Europe, the remarks of the surrender faction have come out again, the situation can be said to be very complicated, sending you to Chongqing is a compromise, but also a gesture, we must maintain the achievements of the joint war of resistance, but also resist the words and deeds of the surrender faction, although you Li Yunlong is going to the rear, but it is also a battlefield!" After a little thought, the brigade commander explained to Li Yunlong that these things were not secrets, but they were rarely reported to the regiment-level cadres below.
"Brigade commander, don't worry, no matter where we Lao Li goes, he is the kind of person who is top-notch, and he will never fall into the prestige of our Eighth Route Army!" Realizing that the situation was grim, Li Yunlong no longer had any bargaining thoughts, but said with a straight face.
"Li Yunlong, the headquarters will give you a week to deal with the problem of the 1,000 regiments, and a week later, lead the troops to go to Chongqing!" Seeing that Li Yunlong finally understood the considerations of his superiors, the brigade commander couldn't help but be a little happy, Li Yunlong had really grown up.
"Brigadier Commander, what about our supplies?"
"According to the agreement, the Ministry of Military Affairs will provide supplies to your department according to the standard of the A regiment, and in addition, the Southern Bureau will give you a thousand oceans of funds every month." Brigade Commander Chen said with a smile.
"Brigade commander, what if you don't have enough to eat?" Li Yunlong had a bitter face, fighting a war is not terrible, but in the national control area, the supply problem is a very big problem, once it is stuck, the problem will be big, you must know that it is more than 3,000 troops.
"Find a way to solve it yourself, Li Yunlong, you must know that it is also your front line, and solving the difficulty is also a battle!" Although he said so, the brigade commander was equally worried about this problem.
