my bright sword career

Chapter 61

Gao Hongming couldn't help laughing when he saw Kong Jie and Li Yunlong asking him for alms like two generals.

Some people may not like this kind of behavior, but Gao Hongming expressed his understanding of it. The Eighth Route Army in this period was really difficult. Apart from giving them a little military salary when they were first reorganized, the national government simply let them fend for themselves.

The Eighth Route Army can only rely on self-reliance. For a commander like Li Yunlong, his first consideration is not to fight, but how to survive.

There are more than 1000 people in the independent group, and just eating food every day can make people worry to death.

Like the sweet potato burn that Li Yunlong brought out to entertain him just now, in Gao Hongming's opinion, it was simply unpalatable, but in Li Yunlong's view, it was a delicacy in the world, and ordinary soldiers couldn't drink it even if they wanted to.

But even in such a difficult environment, Li Yunlong can lead the independent group to continue to grow and develop, this is his ability.

Gao Hongming asked himself that if he were to be the head of the independent group, he might not be able to survive even a month, which is why he admired Li Yunlong.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly: "Brother Li, Commander Kong, just tell me what you want?"

"Ah...this..."

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie didn't expect Gao Hongming to be so straightforward, and he didn't know what to order for a while.

Li Yunlong scratched his head, and scolded with a smile, "Damn it, Brother Gao, when you say that, my old Li is so cold that I don't know how to speak."

Gao Hongming laughed, "Captain Li, the last battle in Cangyunling, didn't you want those hundreds of guns, tens of thousands of bullets and mortars very simply, why are you so embarrassed today? "

Li Yunlong said resentfully: "Don't talk about it, my heart still hurts when I talk about those things. Before the things are hot, they are all cheap to that guy Ding Wei."

Gao Hongming couldn't help laughing again, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Since you are too embarrassed to tell, let me tell you. In this way, I will give you five hundred Mauser 98K rifles, twenty Czech ( ZB26 light machine gun), and give you 20 rounds of 7.92mm bullets, and two American-made M2 ​​60mm mortars, equipped with 100 rounds of shells, what do you think?"

There was silence in the room, and the three of Li Yunlong were dumbfounded.

Although he had long expected that with Gao Hongming's atmosphere, he would never be able to do nothing, but he never dreamed that he would be so generous. He directly gave 500 rifles, 20 machine guns, and even 20 rounds of ammunition.

Especially this Czech-style light machine gun is a very good weapon, both in terms of accuracy and simplicity, it is much better than the Japanese-style 11-year-old machine gun of the same period.

The most admirable thing is that the structure of this machine gun is very simple. There are only a few parts in total. Even ordinary people who have never touched a gun can use a punch and a hammer in less than 3 minutes. The inner gun is disassembled.

If it is a soldier who is already familiar with the gun, it will not even take 1 minute to disassemble it.

It is precisely because its structure is so simple that it can quickly be mastered by Chinese soldiers who are generally not well-educated during this period. This machine gun has also become the most popular machine gun during the Anti-Japanese War.

Li Yunlong grasped Gao Hongming's hand for a long time, "Brother Gao, you are really kind, I will remember this favor brother."

Gao Hongming said sternly: "Brother Li, don't say thank you, as long as it is to fight the devils, I will be willing to give up any more things. I only hope that after you get these weapons, you can kill a few more devils. Our Chinese compatriots who died thousands of innocent lives will take revenge."

Li Yunlong slapped his chest loudly: "Don't worry about this, I, Li Yunlong, have no other skills, and I have never been willing to kill devils."

With Gao Hongming's promise, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Zhao Gang felt relieved. With this batch of weapons, the independent regiment can not only have a gun in hand, but also have mortars. Going forward, it won't be long before the independent regiment will take on a completely new look.

Originally Kong Jie and Zhao Gang treated Gao Hongming politely, but that kind of politeness was tinged with alienation, but now they looked at him with a little more kindness.

After Li Yunlong finished drinking the sweet potatoes in the bowl, he also poured the foreign wine brought by Gao Hongming.

It is also interesting to say that among the three, Li Yunlong likes Lao Maozi's vodka, Kong Jie prefers British whiskey, and Zhao Gang likes drinking wine like Gao Hongming. From this, we can see the personalities of the three.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone felt a little bit drunk.

Zhao Gang, who had a good chat with Gao Hongming, asked through his drink: "Commander Gao, I didn't realize that you know so much about our Eighth Route Army. It seems that you have done a lot of research on weekdays."

"That is."

Gao Hongming said with his tongue wide open: "I'm sure, after defeating Little Japan, this Huaxia must be the world of your party, even the chairman is not your opponent."

"Oh... are you so sure?"

"Of course, I can guarantee that I have absolute confidence in you, let me tell you..."

The drink didn't end until evening. Gao Hongming declined Li Yunlong's three people's persuasion, staggered on the jeep and returned to the army, and Li Yunlong and three people personally sent him to the entrance of the village before returning.

When the figure of the jeep disappeared from everyone's sight, the three of Li Yunlong walked back to the village slowly.

Li Yunlong asked Zhao Gang, "Old Zhao, what do you think of Brother Gao through the contact just now?"

Zhao Gang took a deep breath of the cold air, and immediately felt that his drowsy brain was much more awake.

He thought for a while before saying: "Judging from his words and demeanor just now, he has a good impression of our Eighth Route Army and even our army, and he has shown us a lot of goodwill. In my opinion, he belongs to the kind who can be treated What do you say about the target of the struggle?"

Li Yunlong shook his head: "I can't see it, he certainly has a good impression of us, and he is willing to do his best to help us, but let him work with us...he may not be willing.

Think about it, as far as I know, Brother Gao has been a big landlord for generations in Liantai County. His family doesn’t say he has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, but he does have one or two thousand acres. He also has quite a few shops. Why do you think he will abandon his family and career and follow us? "

Kong Jie also echoed: "I agree with Lao Li, this is like a landlord Lao Cai, he may help his poor relatives from time to time, but you let him live in poverty like poor relatives, probably not many people Will you agree?"

Zhao Gang nodded slowly: "Yes, it seems that I took it for granted just now."
