Chapter 81 Sun Desheng: I Haven’t Gotten in the Car Yet!

That afternoon, Li Yunlong had been actively handling various regimental affairs in his room.

When he didn't come to report before, although the battalion commander Le Zhengdou, who was on duty, made some basic arrangements, many details still had to be checked personally by Li Yunlong, the regiment leader.

The first is the health issue of the troops. Maintaining daily hygiene is an important part of the lives of Eighth Route Army soldiers and is also an important part of military construction.

This is something that many people will ignore, but veterans will know how important this is, because once something goes wrong, it will greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the army.

First of all, you have to ensure the physical health of the soldiers themselves. At present, because the Eighth Route Army will face severe situations at any time, the food for the soldiers is better than that of the preserved fruit troops.

In summer, the troops eat black beans as their staple food, and occasionally some millet and sorghum. Although there is a high probability that you will not go hungry, long-term consumption of black beans will lead to physical decline.

When the body's immunity is weakened, it is easy for illness to occur, and the number of illnesses will increase sharply in a short period of time, and there is even the possibility of infection.

When Li Yunlong first took over the new regiment, he ignored this reason due to carelessness.

As a result, diseases such as malaria, dysentery, enteritis, and scabies became widespread among institutions and companies. Some soldiers lost weight because of this.

Even in the most serious times, the incidence rate in the army was as high as 80% or even more than 90%. The company became a rest home, the company commander became the director, and he, the regiment leader, became the dean.

If it weren't for a few old doctors from the county who were willing to help and risked their lives to come to the regiment headquarters to prescribe some medicine and write down some folk prescriptions for the soldiers.

The new group will be in big trouble. With that experience, Li Yunlong will definitely not make the same mistake again.

Another problem is that some comrades in the army do not pay attention to personal hygiene. It is normal for them not to rinse their mouths, wash their feet, or take a shower.

They don’t wash their clothes when they are dirty, and they don’t even know to dry them when they are infested with lice. This not only affects the collective environment, but may also breed infectious diseases.

Although it is his first day on the job, the experienced Commander Li has already begun arranging internal inspections in an effort to reduce non-combat attrition.

Moreover, he also needs to worry more about the food problem of the army. Since the "Eighth Route Army Supply Work Regulations" were issued, although the logistics system has been further improved.

However, because the situation in each region is different, the standards have not yet been implemented. The problems of soldiers' insufficient caloric intake and low nutrition in food are common, and we must find ways to deal with them.

But luckily, there was some overlap with another job.

As the people's army, the Eighth Route Army will help fellow villagers reclaim land and participate in agricultural production except when they have combat missions.

This is done to try to ensure that the military can achieve a certain degree of self-sufficiency and reduce the burden on the common people.

Moreover, after the originally poor people had a certain amount of surplus food in their hands, they were more willing to believe that the Eighth Route Army could lead them to live a good life and were willing to provide certain support to the army.

The masses of the people are the basic base of the base area.

This work must be taken seriously by both the main force and the basic regiment. Li Yunlong needs the New Second Regiment to arrange for soldiers to participate in farming activities in batches while ensuring the safety of the surrounding environment.

He is even planning to organize a well-drilling team to help the masses dig wells and expand the available water sources near the garrison.

Planting food, vegetables and yams also requires the arrangement of some experienced warriors.

Because Huang He recently visited the headquarters. Although I don’t know what he said, the deputy commander-in-chief issued a new order a few days ago to plant trees!

Li Yunlong didn't know the reason for this order, but considering that planting trees had the benefits of preventing droughts, preventing winds and fixing sand, he naturally attached great importance to the fact that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

Finally, we must pay attention to the mental health of the new soldiers. Judging from the current situation of the New Second Regiment, it is unlikely that the headquarters will directly issue combat missions in a short time.

Many warriors who have never seen the cruelty of the battlefield will become a little impetuous after a certain amount of training.

This requires combining military training with sports to let them vent their strong energy.

Although the New Second Regiment does not yet have a political commissar, Li Yunlong wears many hats all year round. He can barely handle this aspect of work, at least he can carry out three operations and two lectures.

Based on his own combat experience, he developed training such as shooting, grenade throwing, obstacle running, stabbing, and anti-aircraft/poison/cannon training.

After a busy day, after all the work arrangements were completed, the moon had already come out. Li Yunlong picked up the millet porridge prepared for him by the cooking team and finished his dinner hastily.

This was the first time since he joined the army that he felt that he needed a political commissar to cooperate with him in his work.

The reason why Li Yunlong had such a strong sense of urgency was because he heard some rumors in the logistics department. It seems that the headquarters is about to make big moves, and we can get a glimpse of it from the production tasks of each district.

As the leader of a thousand-man regiment, he not only has to perform combat missions, but also is responsible for his comrades.

Thinking of this, he lost all sleep.

Li Yunlong immediately got up from his bed, lit a candle and carefully studied the map around the station. He was going to find an enemy as a whetstone for the soldiers of the New Second Regiment.

———————————

At dawn the next day, after Li Yunlong finished morning exercises with the soldiers, he immediately set off for Xingjiacun, where the new regiment was based.

Many soldiers and even fellow villagers knew the car driven by Li Yunlong. He parked the car directly at the entrance of the village. Although it was not a glorious return home, the soldiers were still very happy to see their old leader.

Li Yunlong never stopped his hands along the way, patting this back and pinching that shoulder.

After arriving at the headquarters of the new regiment, Ding Wei looked at Li Yunlong in surprise. He didn't expect his old comrade to visit him suddenly.

But judging from the other party's spirit, he should have been transferred from the logistics department.

Li Yunlong sat opposite Ding Wei with a big horse and a golden knife, and poured out the water in the bowl opposite. Then he took out two bottles of treasured Fenjiu, which were the remaining stocks from the last failed "bribery".

Looking at his old comrade's straight eyes, Lao Li asked straight to the point:

"Does your regiment have any important things today? If we drink, will it affect your work?"

Ding Wei thought about it carefully, and asked the guard to call the three battalion commanders in the regiment to arrange today's training tasks.

After seeing Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan, Li Yunlong winked and greeted the two. This familiar feeling immediately let them know one thing.

Their own regiment commander is coming to redeem them.

After instructing the work that needed to be done today, the three battalion commanders left the regiment, leaving only Ding and Li.

Li Yunlong poured wine while pointing at Ding Wei's nose and cursing:

"You kid really picked up a ready-made thing. I worked hard to pull up the new regiment, but ended up making wedding clothes for you."

Ding Wei picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. The dry drink made him angry all of a sudden. Hearing his old comrade cursing, he was not angry, and pretended to be helpless and responded:

"I can't do anything about it. The order was given by the deputy general in person. If you have the ability, go to the deputy general!"

"What's the use of baring your teeth in front of me? Why don't you fight with the brigade commander? And when you went to the logistics department, I said that the army lacked military cadres, and you would definitely not stay for long."

"Now let me be right, at the age of 31, if you don't go to the battlefield to make a name for yourself, what's the point of staying in the logistics department to raise pigs?"

Li Yunlong knew his old comrade very well, and the other party's thick skin was not inferior to his own.

"Don't be so ungrateful. You should know why I came to the New 1st Regiment today. We agreed on it at the time, and I also informed the brigade commander. You have to do it quickly."

Direct personnel transfers in the army are fine as long as they are approved by the superiors. There are many examples of friendly forces supporting work in the Eighth Route Army.

But Ding Wei is not a good person. If it weren't for Huang He getting the production line, and the logistics department trying hard to replenish weapons for various troops, he would definitely make a small profit from Li Yunlong.

"Then don't be too harsh, kid. The two battalion commanders are what we agreed on before. I don't have many grassroots officers, so don't mess around."

Ding Wei had made preparations long ago and trained two deputy battalion commanders. Even if Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan were transferred, it would not affect the combat effectiveness of the New 1st Regiment.

It's just that this matter made him feel a little distressed. After all, no commander doesn't like soldiers who can fight and obey.

Hearing that his comrades were so straightforward, Li Yunlong smiled and showed his iconic big white teeth.

"You, Old Ding, are so straightforward today. Come on, let's drink! I, Li Yunlong, owe you a favor! When the time comes, just tell me what you need. As long as it doesn't violate the discipline, I will definitely do it for you!"

Both of them have a good alcohol tolerance. After drinking a bottle, they started to get down to business. Ding Wei arranged the personnel transfer in a swift and decisive manner.

This time, Li Yunlong came to the New 1st Regiment and it was a great harvest. In addition to Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan, he also took Hu Zi, Zhu Zi, Wang Gensheng and Wang Xikui away.

Needless to say, Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan were the most important people in the New 1st Regiment besides Li Yunlong. It's a pity that the third battalion commander couldn't be taken away. He was also an excellent soldier.

Wang Gensheng was an enemy soldier captured in the northwest that year. Because he yearned for the life in the base, he joined the Eighth Route Army after many tests.

He has been following Li Yunlong for many years and has a lot of experience in throwing grenades. There is no one in the whole regiment who is better than him in using grenades.

Wang Xikui is an accurate shooter, and with Zhuzi and Huzi, Li Yunlong's mouth corners are almost grinning to his ears.

Li Yunlong, who was drunk, walked into the car triumphantly. The two battalion commanders sat in the co-pilot seat, and the others could only stay in the truck bed for the time being.

When preparing to set off, Li Yunlong remembered something!

"Damn it! I'm drunk! How can I drive this way!"

Ever since he had a little problem with driving with Huang He last time, he has kept in mind the advice given to him by his fellow villagers. And he is not a Maozi, not that level.

Ding Wei, who came to see him off, saw the embarrassment of his comrade-in-arms and introduced the driver who had been prepared long ago to Li Yunlong.

This soldier was originally a member of the preserved fruit transport team. When he went home to visit his relatives, he found that the Eighth Route Army was a unit dedicated to the people, so he decisively abandoned the dark and joined the light.

Of course, this happened when Li Yunlong was raising pigs in the logistics department.

After the truck started, Li Yunlong happily ran to the truck bed to breathe and sober up. He leaned on Huzi and imagined a bright future.

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh hard, and then showed a look of blood loss.

"It's over, I forgot about Sun Desheng! Next time I need someone, I must spend some blood!"

The drama version is sometimes a little different from the original. When encountering ambiguous situations, I will use the one that is clearer.

In the encyclopedia, Shen Quan has always followed Li Yunlong, and Wang Gensheng was originally a member of Sanma in the original book.

This volume has a large plot. Before officially starting, I will try to strengthen the combat power of every regiment level that can be written.
