Chapter 10

Yangcun, independent group headquarters.

Li Yunlong was walking in the yard with a cigarette in his arms.

"Salute!" With the guard's order, Zhao Gang walked in angrily.

Zhao Gang is a workaholic. After having a meeting with Li Yunlong and Kong Jie yesterday, he turned around and went to work to get familiar with the situation in various battalions and platoons below.

It took more than two days to travel through the platoons of the Third Battalion and the Second Battalion.

It was the first battalion today, but when Zhao Gang hurried to the first battalion's base, he found that the station was empty. More than 300 commanders and fighters under the battalion commander were gone.

When asked the left-behind guards, they said they didn't know what was going on.

Zhao Gang had no choice but to go back to the regiment headquarters to ask Li Yunlong.

"Captain." Zhao Gang walked to Li Yunlong and stood there, "I have something to do with you."

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang up and down a few times and asked, "What instructions does Political Commissar Zhao have?"

Zhao Gang said: "I would like to ask the regiment commander, do you have any combat missions?"

Li Yunlong said: "Combat mission? No, can I not tell you if there is one?"

After saying that, Li Yunlong turned around and walked away, but Zhao Gang chased Li Yunlong unyieldingly.

Then he asked, "Where did that battalion go? Also, Deputy Commander Kong and Xiao Wang are not there. I want to ask the commander, what happened in the regiment? Why did you hide it from me?"

Li Yunlong smiled faintly and said, "Follow my memory, I forgot about this matter."

After saying this, he said, "I'm sorry, Grand Political Commissar, this is the case. I asked Deputy Commander Kong to take the battalion to do some side jobs. Because of the lack of manpower, I brought Xiao Wang with me."

"But don't worry, I will definitely come back before dark today."

"Side job?" Zhao Gang asked, "What side job? Please explain it clearly."

Li Yunlong said: "A group of military horses came from Wanjia Town. I asked the battalion to bring the horses back. It's that simple."

"Wanjia Town?" Zhao Gang's face changed and he said, "The cavalry battalion of the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army?"

Li Yunlong said with some surprise: "Do you know Wanjia Town too?"

"Wanjia Town is next to Zhengtai Road, I just passed by there last week."

Zhao Gang said anxiously: "At that time, there was a county brigade's troops covering me, and I encountered danger. The enemy situation there was very complicated. How could you..."

Li Yunlong was a little impatient and interrupted Zhao Gang and said, "Don't worry, my major political commissar, haha, those puppet troops are just decorations, and those horses are simply for free."

"What a great horse, it's a waste to put it in the hands of the puppet army."

"Captain, how come you are doing a side job?" Zhao Gang was angry and said with a dark face, "This is a combat operation! What power do you have to mobilize troops without authorization?"

"Ang, are you a serious violation of discipline?"

Li Yunlong was also angry and glared at him and cursed: "Zhao Gang, please stop staring at me. When I was fighting in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, you didn't know where you were."

"I tell you, I've done it, what's wrong?"

"You go and report to the division commander, brigade commander?"

"I want to kill and cut, I, Li Yunlong, hold on!"

Zhao Gang was immediately furious and was immediately held back.

Because he realized that quarrels like Li Yunlong cannot solve the problem, and will only make the situation more rigid. This is not the result he hopes to see.

Zhao Gang quickly calmed down and said, "Captain, let's be calmer and don't make a noise. No quarrels can solve the problem."

"You are an old comrade. You have more experience in politics and military combat than me. I should learn from you, but you are indeed inappropriate in this matter."

Zhao Gang's reaction surprised Li Yunlong a little.

This white-faced scholar was not in a hurry? He was not in a hurry to go to his superior to report it?

At that moment, Li Yunlong also suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Political Commissar Zhao, have you heard of the New Orlean Group?"

"Of course I heard of it." Zhao Gang said, "I heard from the comrades from the Political Department that you, Captain Li, commanded the new regiment, defeated the Bantian United from the front, and killed the Bantian United Team. Who doesn't know about our entire Jin-Cha-Hebei troops?"

"Just you know." Li Yunlong nodded and said, "When I just took over the new regiment, the troops had not yet formed combat effectiveness, the troops lacked training, practical experience, and most importantly, the lack of weapons and equipment."

"There are less than ten light machine guns in the entire regiment, and there are not even one heavy machine gun."

"The rifle is an old sleeve, made in Hanyang, and the rifle has been smoothed."

"That's it, neither of them can get a gun."

"I'll go to the brigade commander to ask for it. What do you think of the brigade commander?"

"The brigade commander said, "I don't have a gun, but I'll have one."

"You Li Yunlong saw how many guns my head is worth, so you cut it and use it to change the gun."

Zhao Gang imagined Li Yunlong's embarrassment at that time and couldn't help asking, "What do you do?"

"I said so too." Li Yunlong said, "I said brigade commander, I am the commander of a regular army at least. I can't even be inferior to the county brigade, right? Isn't this a sign of our division?"

"What do you think of the brigade commander? The brigade commander said, "What do you want Li Yunlong to do if I have equipment?"

"An, since you have the ability to be the leader of the group, you should have the ability to get a gun, or you will go home and take your children and don't embarrass me here."

"Okay."

"That's what I'm waiting for."

"Let me get a gun? No problem."

"But, you can't put a tight curse on me, right?"

"You have to give me some autonomy. You can't let your brigade commander take over everything."

"I want me to get a gun and I want me to be a good boy. This is a fucking unreasonable thing."

Li Yunlong said something interesting, Zhao Gang couldn't help but be happy and asked, "What did the brigade commander say?"

Li Yunlong said: "The brigade commander said, go and go, think of a way, I don't care about anything, I don't ask anything, I warn you Li Yunlong, don't bother me with these nonsense."

"It's just like that. In less than a year, the new bunch has everything."

"Crooked handle, Type 92, Grenade launcher, mortar."

"The guy in my hands is good, and we have a hard waist."

"Without this family background, I dare to fight against Sakata United? Dreaming."

"In the past two days, Political Commissar Zhao, you went to the Second and Third Battalions. You should know what the situation is like in the Independent Regiment."

"The independent regiment is not much stronger than the new regiment I just took over. There are only nine light machine guns, not even one heavy machine gun, and only more than five hundred rifles."

"The grenade launcher and mortar can't even see the shadow."

"And there is this bullet, each gun has less than ten rounds!"

"Just that little bit of money, I can't afford a small-scale ambush."

"When will the independent group develop combat effectiveness without doing some side jobs?"

After pausing, Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang again: "Political Commissar Zhao, do you understand now?"

"It seems to be a little clear." Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Captain, I was a little impatient just now. Please forgive me, Ang, but if you have any problems in the future, can we discuss it first? You said such a big thing, I am the political commissar, so this is not good, right?"

"No problem." Li Yunlong said, "I have something to discuss."

As soon as he finished speaking, a horse's neigh suddenly came from outside the door.

Li Yunlong was immediately excited and said, "Here we are back, Deputy Commander Kong and Xiao Wang are back! It seems that he is getting rich. Let's take a look!"

After saying that, Li Yunlong turned around and ran out.

Zhao Gang was also somewhat expectant and hurriedly followed.

As soon as the two of them rushed out of the gate, they saw a horse team heading towards the regiment headquarters.

A dozen or a half-year-old children shouted, jumped and laughed, surrounding the front of the horse team.

Zhao Gang roughly estimated that this horse team had at least 300 war horses, and the horses were carrying wooden boxes and slags, heavy.

The war horses were pressed so hard that they could not walk.

In addition, almost all the soldiers in the first battalion carried two guns.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong laughed out loud: "Hahaha, I've made a fortune!"

Zhao Gang was also a little excited, and he had a deeper understanding of what Li Yunlong said about "doing side jobs". It seems that if the Eighth Route Army's armed forces want to become stronger, this side job is crucial!

"Old Confucius!" Li Yunlong saw Kong Jie in the crowd and hurriedly came forward.

"Old Kong, tell me quickly, how much benefit did our independent group get in this ticket?"

Kong Jie was in a bad mood, so he glanced at Li Yunlong coldly and walked away.

"Deputy Commander Kong..." Zhao Gang wanted to say hello, but was pulled away by Li Yunlong.

"Political Commissar Zhao, don't pay attention to him, he's just a fool." Li Yunlong smiled.

He knew why Kong Jie was unhappy. Such a huge sum of money had nothing to do with him, so how could he be happy?

"The First Battalion Commander? The First Battalion Commander!" Li Yunlong called the First Battalion Commander Guan Dashan to the front and said, "Tell me quickly, how much benefit did our independent regiment get?"

Guan Dashan is in a very good mood.

"Captain, we have made a fortune in our independent group!"
