Chapter 56 Puppet State and Unexpected Path?

Although the first battalion of the new first regiment has successfully joined forces with the soldiers of the special forces company, it is not the time to relax vigilance. Only when we return to the base can we be truly safe.

At this time, the team's marching speed is very slow, because Zheng Yingqi and his team are really too tired.

After several days of high-intensity tasks, the original special forces company was relying on one breath to hold on. But after seeing the support troops, this breath was dispersed.

Seeing this situation, Ding Wei could only send a communicator to contact the headquarters to ensure that the last section of the journey is foolproof.

Fortunately, the devils are now busy and anxious to maintain public security in various places.

Everyone arrived at the station of the new first regiment safely. The cooking team had already prepared warm food for everyone's return.

It's a pity that the new first regiment is in an expansion period recently, and the food in the regiment is not abundant.

However, the hot millet porridge and steamed buns are much better than the fried noodles that the special forces company has eaten during this period.

This can be said to be half of Li Yunlong's home court. Even the recruits who have never seen him have heard of his reputation. Returning here, Li Da Staff Officer seems to be like a fish in water.

He was holding a big bowl and wandering around the soldiers of the special forces company.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't treat yourself as an outsider here. The millet in Shanxi is good for people, comrades, drink more to nourish your stomach."

Seeing his old comrade-in-arms with a dog-faced look, Ding Wei was completely relieved, and he didn't mind Li Yunlong's use of flowers to pay tribute to Buddha.

After the meal, all the soldiers and doctors of the special forces company collapsed directly on the kang, even Zheng Yingqi was no exception.

In less than three minutes, the snoring in the barracks rose and fell, and the sound was even louder than Sandezi's cloth tearing machine.

The scene and the battle were even more lively than the shooting range of the Central Army. Many recruits thought that the regiment was issuing bullets.

This sleep lasted more than ten hours, and during this period, the brigade and division headquarters also rushed over with troops.

When all the members woke up, more than half of the soldiers were weak in their limbs, and several soldiers even had a fever.

Fortunately, the reinforcements from the brigade and division headquarters took this into consideration and brought enough stretchers.

——————————

Half a day later, everyone in the special forces company returned to the headquarters. The doctors were gathered together for ideological strengthening. These comrades with firm beliefs only needed a short training before they could take up their posts.

After resting, Zheng Yingqi and Li Yunlong went to the staff headquarters to report their work.

"The special agent company was supposed to have 152 people, but only two people actually arrived. Four of them died. One hundred and forty-six people are resting. Please give instructions, chief."

Seeing the two people returning safely, the deputy chief of staff was filled with mixed feelings. He stepped forward and hugged them tightly.

"Thank you for your hard work! You did a great job on this mission. Not only did you have few casualties, but you also rescued all the doctors."

"The headquarters has arranged an interview. We will need your cooperation when the time comes. This is a very good opportunity for publicity."

Because the Japanese did a good job in propaganda in the enemy-occupied areas, some people gradually lost confidence in the anti-Japanese war.

Li Yunlong and his actions had a great inspiring effect on the anti-Japanese morale of the vast rear areas, and were very suitable for publicity. After learning that the New 1st Regiment had successfully responded, the deputy chief of staff began to arrange this matter.

Xinhua News Agency had even prepared the layout long ago, and after getting the specific content of the interview, it would publicize and praise the whole army.

Zheng Yingqi is a man who doesn't care about glory. As mentioned before, he is a sharp knife who only cares about how to complete the task.

But Li Yunlong is different. Although he has made many military achievements, this is the first time he has been praised by so many leaders, and it has to be reported in the newspaper.

This rough man was a little embarrassed by the praise. He scratched the back of his head and said:

"Old leader, when can our little Li go back to the front line to fight? I am still the director of the logistics department now."

"If this is interviewed and others see it, they will think that our Eighth Route Army has no one, and a pig farmer can make great contributions."

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, everyone present laughed out loud. The deputy chief of staff who had the best relationship with Li Yunlong patted him on the shoulder and said:

"I won't let you wait too long. After all, it takes time to transfer personnel. The new regiment has been handed over to Ding Wei. We can't let him suffer any grievances when we intercept him."

The division commander also nodded in agreement. In fact, he had a headache for a long time because the newly established troops belonged to the 129th Division.

But with Li Yunlong, it won't be so troublesome. Director Li is very experienced in this matter.

Li Yunlong was a little disappointed when he heard that he couldn't return to his old unit. After all, he had been with the soldiers of the new regiment for so long and had a deep relationship with them.

Although he was confident that he could lead a new unit, he was reluctant to give up his original assets.

Considering that Li Yunlong had made great contributions this time, our army has always been clear about rewards and punishments, and the division commander decided to promise Li Yunlong some help.

"When you take office, the headquarters will pave the way for you. But don't have too much expectation. At most, we will arrange more grassroots veterans for you."

"As for weapons and ammunition, you can find a way with your fellow villagers, but don't be too arrogant!"

"If Zhang Wanhe and Huang He come to the headquarters to complain, you will continue to stay in the logistics department."

Hearing the division commander's promise, Li Yunlong couldn't even believe his ears.

The importance of veterans to the army is naturally self-evident. Many armed forces behind enemy lines were originally very successful, but eventually disappeared because the veterans had finished fighting.

The veterans that the division commander is about to arrange are not just soldiers who have fought against the devils, but those comrades are the real veterans of the Eighth Route Army.

They are experienced in combat, firm in conviction, educated and very contagious.

The new recruits who have just joined the army will make rapid progress under the guidance of these people, and will understand why they are fighting.

Moreover, many of these veterans have survived air raids and even faced tanks and artillery. With their presence, the combat effectiveness of the basic regiment is guaranteed.

After this period of change, although Li Yunlong is still a rough man who likes to take advantage of small things.

But he has understood what it means to consider the overall situation and what it means to stop when he sees the good.

What's more, the division commander agreed that he would go to Huang He for a sum of start-up funds. Facing his fellow villagers, wouldn't this have a lot of room for operation?

Huang He, who was still drawing blueprints in the logistics department, didn't know that he had been targeted by Li Yunlong. At this time, he was almost confused by the system prompts.

He didn't expect that a combat arrangement at the headquarters would actually give him new gains, and this new gain was a bit confusing.

Now in the system interface, two bright prompts made his mind diverge infinitely.

"Unpredictable road (passive unlock, can only be used in specific countries): As an island country, our citizens are tired of all gambling on national destiny. For a better future, people need to embark on a road that previous leaders have never imagined. Of course, we still need to evaluate all aspects of this choice realistically.

Effect:

The red support rate of the whole people increases by 0.03% every day.

Continuously improve the popular prestige of Deyi Yesan.

The host cannot actively unlock the follow-up of this decision. This decision and its follow-up can only be triggered if certain conditions are met. Please explore it yourself."

"The new module of the system is loaded successfully: the puppet country template is online"

Huang He looked at the system speechlessly. This new function and new decision appeared at the same time. Does it still need to be explored? This is almost throwing the usage in his face.
