Chapter 94: Brigade Commander: Telecom Fraud Is Boring

At 6:30 the next morning, the 386th Brigade Headquarters.

The brigade commander has been getting up very early these days, and the tasks from the headquarters have kept him and his staff busy for several days. As soon as he got up and washed up, a staff officer came to his room and reported an interesting thing.

"Early this morning, our workers behind enemy lines discovered that the puppet cavalry battalion of the Eighth Mixed Brigade stationed in Wanjia Town had been eliminated."

"Unfortunately, when they wanted to enter the town to investigate, a group of Japanese and puppet soldiers had already entered the town to investigate."

"The people in the town are not in any danger for the time being, so our workers behind enemy lines will give priority to retreating back to pass on intelligence."

After hearing the news, the brigade commander showed a hint of interest, but after a little thought, he understood the general situation of the matter.

Wanjia Town is located at the junction of the defense areas of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment. Kong Jie of the Independent Regiment just won a battle a few days ago and is still resting in Yangcun.

And based on his understanding of Kong Jie, he was a good boy.

Even if the other party wants to go to Wanjia Town to do something, they will definitely report it to the brigade headquarters as soon as possible. The independent group has a radio station.

After eliminating all the impossibilities, the answer must be what remains.

Those who attacked the puppet troops in Wanjia Town must be the troops of the New Second Regiment. And based on his understanding of Li Yunlong, the other party's correspondent is likely to be on the way.

The brigade commander couldn't help laughing. He picked up his glasses and belt from the table in the room. After putting them on, he said to the staff:

"Beima, come with me to the New Second Regiment to see what's going on. Remember to bring the guard platoon with you."

"That kid must be trying to make a time difference with me. I didn't think I could guess that little bit of thinking. I thought he had improved a lot."

——————————

At the same time, inside the command post of the New Second Regiment.

Li Yunlong had heavy dark circles under his eyes and his face was a little yellow. His hair was a mess and it looked like he had been scratching it a lot. He had not slept all night.

This was the first time that Zhao Gang led a team on a combat mission. Although he was assisted by Zhang Dabiao, Li Yunlong was still very worried.

While waiting, Lao Li frequently looked at the time and silently calculated the current position of the 1st Battalion in his mind.

"Monk, monk! Go help me and tell the signal soldier to leave for the brigade headquarters immediately. By the way, go to the cooking team to get me some food. I'm starving to death!"

In another room, Wei Dayong, who stayed up late with his team leader, immediately got up and took action. Unlike Li Yunlong's state, the monk was still walking vigorously at this time, as if he had endless energy.

After notifying the correspondent, he returned to the command post with breakfast, and the two devoured it together.

More than three hours later, Li Yunlong, who was taking a nap in front of the map with his arms propped up after eating, was suddenly awakened.

When he opened his eyes, he found that the table in front of him was shaking, and there was a lot of sound of horse hooves and the cheers of the people in the village coming from outside the window.

This made Captain Li realize one thing, that is, Zhao Gang and the others came back safely, and it was very likely that they had gained a lot.

Just when he was about to go out to welcome the soldiers back in triumph, Wei Dayong ran into the room with excitement and said to Li Yunlong:

"Reporting to the leader, the political commissar and the comrades of the first battalion are back. They also brought back a lot of good things. What I saw alone were a lot of horses and a Type 92 heavy machine gun."

What is unusual is that Li Yunlong seems to have not heard the heavy machine gun. He is now more concerned about personnel safety.

"Damn it, I'm finally back! This makes me worried for a while!"

Li Yunlong was not surprised at all about winning Wanjia Town. In his opinion, there was no suspense in this battle, otherwise he would not have let Zhao Gang lead the team.

Now he just wants to know the casualties of the soldiers and the details of this battle.

So Li Yunlong took Wei Dayong to the open space in the northwest of the village, where the cheers came from. Not long after walking, they saw Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao at the front of the team.

The men of the 1st Battalion were still heading towards the stables, which had been improvised this morning. Five meters away from Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang grabbed the reins and jumped off the horse.

At this time, Commander Li had put away his worried expression and pretended not to care and said, "It's good to be back. How are the casualties among the soldiers?"

Zhao Gang gestured to Li Yunlong to wait for a while. He first arranged for the soldiers to settle the horses they had brought back. The injured people immediately went to the health workers. After doing all this, he said to his partner:

"There are only five minor injuries, and the problems are not major. If I can be more careful, I can even achieve zero casualties."

Seeing the opponent skillfully commanding the soldiers of the first battalion, Li Yunlong felt happy, but he still had to work hard to maintain his personality.

"How was the harvest? I saw a lot of things in big and small bags. I even brought back a heavy machine gun."

This time, in addition to the horses he originally planned to capture, Zhao Gang also packed away almost all of the enemy's weapons arsenal, and even had sabers as spares.

It's a pity that the puppet troops can't take away the food and property. Most of them are plundered from the people of Wanjia Town.

After the public trial, the redistribution was left to the village elders.

Zhao Gang handed his horse to the monk beside him and asked him to help lead it to the stable.

He himself returned to the command post with Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao. Even if he wins the battle, the post-war summary is also very important.

"I think the soldiers have changed a lot after this experience. If anyone tells me that these people were recruits a day ago, I will never believe it."

"It's a pity that such an opportunity is gone. Now only the soldiers of the first battalion have seen blood."

"No accidents happened on the way back, but some soldiers' horsemanship was average, which delayed some time."

After reporting these, Zhao Gang began to make written records.

Li Yunlong secretly pulled Zhang Dabiao to the hut. Through the other party's vivid description, he had to sigh that Zhao Gang was a good political commissar who was both civil and military.

He even learned a new word, "surround three and miss one".

At this time, the brigade commander had arrived at the station of the new second regiment. He walked into the village along the stone-paved village road and saw the busy soldiers.

There were soldiers from two companies who were doing physical training. They ran from the center of the village to the outside world. Some soldiers with good physical fitness even carried weights.

There was probably a platoon of soldiers who divided into groups to dig wells. Although this work had been carried out for three days, the wells that could meet the needs of more than a thousand people could not be dug in a short time.

Some soldiers are helping the people to cultivate the land and plant crops. Now is the season for planting corn and cabbage, and the comrades are sweating in the fields.

The brigade commander was very satisfied with the scene of the military and civilians being one family. The chief of staff next to him was a person who came from this area, so he explained:

"This village was originally influenced by bandits and soldiers, and was very repulsive to all foreigners with guns."

"Later, the division headquarters first sent people to publicize our policies, and the villagers nearby also joined our troops, so the mass base gradually improved."

"Of course, I am not denying Li Yunlong's achievements. This village does look better than before."

The brigade commander nodded. Compared with Li Yunlong in the New First Regiment period, he is more reassuring now.

"Let's go to his regiment headquarters and see what surprises he has prepared for me."

At this time, there were only Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong in the regiment headquarters. After the brigade commander entered, he saw that the two were chatting happily, which surprised him a little.

But this was what the brigade commander wanted. As long as the two could get along harmoniously, his efforts would not be in vain.

When he saw the brigade commander coming in, Li Yunlong felt mixed emotions. He did not expect the brigade commander to come in person, and he came so quickly.

This means that the communicator he sent out should have staggered with the other party, so his mission this time has temporarily become an unreported action.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong immediately became sad, and his original plan was all in vain, but he quickly adjusted his mood.

When he was in the logistics department, Li Yunlong figured out one thing. Although he was often "robbed" by the brigade commander in the past, this was also a way for him to protect himself.

The brigade knew what he did, and the division headquarters must also know it.

As long as the brigade commander accepted the weapons and equipment he handed in, it meant that he recognized the legitimacy of Li Yunlong's actions.

Otherwise, a regimental commander would privately mobilize a large number of troops to perform combat missions during non-wartime. This is a serious violation of discipline and law, and it is not excessive to go to military court.

If one day, the brigade commander did not come to "rob", he would even feel uncertain.

Li Yunlong was very moved when he thought of this, after all, the brigade commander had silently protected him many times in these years.

In the past, he always thought that someone had reported to the brigade commander, but since Huang He introduced Mr. Wang's great achievements to him last time, Li Yunlong knew how ridiculous his thoughts were at that time.

A former spy chief does not need others to give him intelligence, and there is no secret in the whole northwest of Shanxi in his eyes?

But! He still wants to fight for these horses and cavalry equipment, after all, the temptation of cavalry is too great.

The two have been arguing about this kind of side business for more than one or two times, and both sides are very familiar with each other's situation and rhetoric.

He thinks he has performed well recently, and maybe the brigade commander will not be too cruel.

"Li Yunlong, congratulations on your fortune!"

"Tell me the truth, how much did you get this time? I see your regiment's first battalion is very busy."

This move, which was totally out of the ordinary, stunned Captain Li. Shouldn't he praise him first and then praise him?

When he heard this, the DNA engraved in his bones immediately moved. Li Yunlong's mouth made a sound before his brain even reacted.

"What kind of fortune? We are so poor that we are almost begging for food. Look at my new second regiment. We don't even have a phone. We have to send a signalman if there is anything."

"I was going to tell you that I seized the equipment of a cavalry battalion, but I didn't expect you to come first."

But the brigade commander didn't fall for Li Yunlong's pity trick and hit the snake directly: "Who assured me that he was familiar with the three major disciplines and eight points of attention when he was transferred from the logistics department?"

"How about this, on behalf of the D Committee of the brigade, I officially announce! Comrade Li Yunlong will be transferred to the brigade headquarters as deputy chief of staff from now on!"

"I want to see what tricks you can do under my nose."

Although he knew that his brigade commander was just joking with him, Li Yunlong still pretended to be panicked and held the brigade commander's hand.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't. I'm not that good. It would be bad to cause trouble for you when I go to the brigade headquarters."

"I'll hand over all the equipment. I'd better stay in this new second regiment."

The brigade commander knew that Li Yunlong had a hard time from what he had seen along the way, and he still felt sorry for him when he thought of the upcoming war.

"Okay, okay, look at your face, you're almost writing your reluctance on it! You keep one company's equipment for yourself, and I'll take the rest."

"I won't take this for nothing. I'll provide you with a month's worth of food for the cavalry company plus a radio. I remember that your regiment doesn't have a deputy commander yet? I'll arrange this for you too."

Here it comes
