Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 807

"Li Yunlong, tell us the details of this battle." The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong and said.

"Brigade Commander, you don't know, this time the New 1st Regiment showed great power under my leadership and killed countless Japanese soldiers. If it weren't for the New 1st Regiment, the Japanese soldiers would never have been wiped out. For..." Li Yunlong couldn't help bragging and started to take all the credit for himself. However, he was interrupted by the brigade commander before he could finish his words.

"Be serious and speak properly!" The brigade commander's face darkened.

"Okay, Brigade Commander!" Li Yunlong immediately stopped bragging and began to tell him about what happened after he met Li Jin, from Li Jin making the plan to the subsequent annihilation of the Japanese.

The brigade commander and the political commissar nodded repeatedly after listening.

Li Yunlong spoke for more than half an hour and his saliva was dry. He quickly asked Zhao Gang to pour him a glass of water before continuing.

"In short, this is the specific combat plan. If it weren't for the New 1st Regiment, it would be impossible to wipe out the Japanese in the Yunli Mountains!" Li Yunlong couldn't help but say it again.

This time the brigade commander did not refute, because judging from the circumstances, it was indeed the case.

If the New 1st Regiment had not blocked the Japanese in time, it would have been impossible to wipe out all the Japanese in the mountains.

"Brigade Commander, although the contribution of the New 1st Regiment this time is not as great as Li Jin's, it is also very great." Li Yunlong looked at the brigade commander.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Seeing this, the brigade commander also praised Li Yunlong.

"Hehe, it's not hard. Compared with the brigade commander who is busy with all kinds of things, my hardship is nothing!" Li Yunlong immediately became cheerful.

"By the way, Commander Yan asked me to thank you on his behalf. You are worthy of being the brigade commander. Even Commander Yan thinks highly of you!" Li Yunlong did not forget that Commander Yan asked him to help thank the brigade commander.

"Well, where is the list of seized items?!" The brigade commander didn't take it too seriously and directly asked Li Yunlong for the list of seized items because he knew that the spoils this time must be quite a lot.

"Old Zhao, quickly give the list to the brigade commander." After hearing this, Li Yunlong quickly looked at Zhao Gang and said.

"Brigade Commander, this is a list, please take a look." Zhao Gang quickly took out a list from his pocket and handed it to the brigade commander.

After taking the paper, the brigade commander began to look at it. There were quite a few seized rifles, machine guns, and even heavy artillery on the list. In addition, there were also medicines, ammunition, food and so on.

"Li Yunlong, you've narrowed your eyes a lot, haven't you?!" The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong and said, he didn't believe that Li Yunlong would not be tempted and would really hand over all the things honestly.

If Li Yunlong was really so straightforward, he would doubt whether this was still Li Yunlong.

"Brigade Commander, I swear to God, I am not that kind of person. I have handed over all the spoils and am waiting for your distribution!" Li Yunlong said seriously, and it seemed like he meant it.

"Don't give me that. As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what you are doing. Since you have already kept it, these guns and ammunition have nothing to do with you!" How could the brigade commander believe Li Yunlong?

The other party clearly kept a portion of it, and wanted to take more from the surrendered materials. He knew Li Yunlong's thoughts very well.

"No, Brigade Commander, please give me some more! I really don't have much left, just a little bit. I have handed over the rest. I'm just waiting for you to distribute some more to me." Li Yunlong made a bitter face, as if he really didn't have many weapons left.

After hearing this, the brigade commander didn't even look at Li Yunlong.

"Zhao Gang, when Li Yunlong came back, he shouldn't have caused any trouble, right? For example, did he go to attack the Japanese county town?!" The brigade commander looked at Zhao Gang and asked.

"Brigade Commander, this is really not true. We, Old Li, are very honest people!" Li Yunlong's heart skipped a beat, and he spoke before Zhao Gang could open his mouth.

"I didn't ask you!" the brigade commander retorted directly.

Li Yunlong: “…”

"Zhao Gang, you speak." said the brigade commander.

"Brigade Commander, this, no." Zhao Gang responded. Although Li Yunlong saw that the number of Japs in the county town had decreased a lot on his way back, he did have the urge to fight, but they stopped him, so there was really no problem.

"Oh?! I didn't expect you to be so obedient for once!" After hearing this, the brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong in surprise.

"Brigade Commander, look at what you said. I have always been very well-behaved! Right, political commissar?" Li Yunlong said and looked at the political commissar again.

"If you behave yourself, there will be no one in this world who won't behave himself!" The political commissar didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had once again witnessed how shameless Li Yunlong was.

"Li Yunlong, you fought well this time. Although you did not participate in the command, you did a good job in the specific arrangements!" The brigade commander praised Li Yunlong again.

Although he didn't want to praise Li Yunlong for fear that this kid would get too cocky, he did fight well in this battle. The casualties were not large, but he did kill a lot of enemies.

"It's all thanks to the brigade commander. I'm just an errand boy!" Li Yunlong was flattered by the praise.

"The supplies you left behind can be used to expand the new regiment. I will give you a quota for recruiting soldiers for a battalion.
Of course, you have to take care of the equipment for this battalion yourself, I won’t take care of it!” said the brigade commander.

After this battle, the supplies seized by the New 1st Regiment will allow it to expand again.

"Yes! Thank you, Brigade Commander!" Li Yunlong said hurriedly after hearing this. He was just about to mention the expansion of a battalion, but he didn't expect the brigade commander to say it directly.

In this way, the new regiment will have five battalions. By then, if each battalion recruits more people, the number of people in the new regiment will be able to reach 5,000.

If we calculate based on the 1,500 men in a regular regiment, the number of men in the new regiment would be considered a brigade.

"In short, I'll give you the quota, but you have to train your soldiers well. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" The brigade commander said at the end with a serious face.

"Don't worry, Commander! I will definitely train the soldiers well. If I don't, you can use my head as a chamber pot!" Li Yunlong quickly stood up and promised that he would train the soldiers well.

"I don't need a chamber pot as big as yours!" the brigade commander replied directly.

"Hehe, Brigade Commander, since we're expanding, can you give me two to three thousand sets of military uniforms?!" Li Yunlong laughed.

"Two or three thousand sets?! You really dare to dream about it. No, not a single one. You have spent so much money, you must be very capable, just make it yourself!" The brigade commander refused decisively.

This kid Li Yunlong is extremely rich, but he is still thinking about how to take advantage of him every day.

"No, Commander. If we don't have two or three thousand, we should have at least five or six hundred!" Li Yunlong did not give up.

"Since you have made great contributions, I will not beat you today!" The brigade commander said in a threatening tone.

Li Yunlong shut up immediately.

"I'll have someone send you 500 sets of military uniforms later. Don't come to me for more. If you can't handle the rest, then don't be the regiment commander anymore. Just come back and feed my horses!" The brigade commander finally decided to give Li Yunlong several hundred sets of military uniforms.

"Thank you, Brigade Commander! I thank you on behalf of those new recruits who have not yet been recruited!" When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately smiled and said that the brigade commander was not such a stingy person.

"For a period of time, the threat posed by the Japanese to us will be very small. You must seize the time to develop.

The new regiment is very good now, don't let it be overtaken by other regiments!" The brigade commander warned earnestly.

The Japs are now badly damaged and are unlikely to pose much of a threat to them. This is the opportunity for the various bases to seize the time and develop.

He didn't want Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment to be overtaken by other regiments.

"Don't worry, Commander. I promise not to let you down!" Li Yunlong said seriously.

"Well, give me the combat report and the list of casualties." The brigade commander nodded and said.

"Yes!" Li Yunlong took the thing out of his arms and handed it to the brigade commander.

"The death notices of the fallen soldiers must be sent to their families. As for pensions, if the New 1st Regiment has extra money, we will give more to the families. It's not easy for them." The brigade commander continued, saying that other regiments could not come up with this money, but the New 1st Regiment could.

"I understand!" Li Yunlong put away his playful expression and nodded seriously. When it came to the situation of the soldiers, he was still quite serious.

"It's nothing. You and Zhao Gang can go back to the regiment headquarters to deal with these matters!" The brigade commander waved his hand.

"Yes! Brigade Commander, Political Commissar, we'll go first!" Li Yunlong said, and Zhao Gang also stood up.

"Go ahead." The brigade commander said without even raising his head.

Only then did Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang leave the meeting room.

After reading the list of casualties, the brigade commander stood up, put the list in the cabinet and locked it, then returned to the table and began to read the combat report.

"According to what Li Yunlong said, Li Jin's command ability is indeed stronger. I estimate that this guy can at least command a division!" The political commissar said with a serious expression.

"One division is too few, at least two divisions!" The brigade commander shook his head and said that Li Jin could easily command seven or eight thousand people. In his opinion, Li Jin could at least command twenty or thirty thousand people in battle.

"Li Jin's ability is becoming more and more amazing. I want to see him grow quickly." The political commissar sighed. Li Jin's ability is indeed amazing.

"He is still too young, and needs to temper his character! We can't entrust him with important tasks all at once!" said the brigade commander. He wanted Li Jin to take on the important task, but when he thought of Li Jin's ability to cause trouble, he hesitated.

It would be fine if Li Jin didn't cause trouble, but once he did, Li Yunlong would be so desperate that he would be unable to catch up.

"Yes, it will take at least two or three years. However, after two or three years, our strength will probably become very strong." The political commissar also agreed with the brigade commander.

"Of course. In the past year or so, our number has increased several times compared to before. Our combat effectiveness and firepower have basically increased several times. In two or three years, it will only increase, not decrease." The brigade commander is full of hope for the future.

Their development has been on a straight upward trend from the year before last to now.

"Speaking of which, I think Li Yunlong took a lot of things with him, including money, weapons and so on. I guess he left behind a lot of them." The political commissar talked about the list again.

"That's for sure. Li Yunlong never does business at a loss." said the brigade commander. He was the person who knew Li Yunlong best.

This time, he didn't bother to argue with Li Yunlong because of his great contribution in the long-distance raid. In fact, it was also because Li Yunlong knew his limits. He wanted to keep the supplies, but he didn't dare to keep too much, so he didn't bother to argue with Li Yunlong.

.........

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang walked out of the meeting room.

"Old Zhao, were you just going to tell me that I wanted to attack the county town?!" Li Yunlong said as soon as he came out.

"I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Gang quickly denied.

"I'm just kidding." Li Yunlong grinned and said, "I was so awesome just now. I opened my mouth and the brigade commander gave me 500 sets of military uniforms!"

"Yes, yes, you are awesome!" Zhao Gang praised helplessly.

"I made a profit this time!" Li Yunlong was very happy. Not only did he keep the money and weapons, he also got 500 sets of military uniforms from the brigade commander for free. It was really a big profit.

"Oh, by the way, how many people do you plan to recruit for the newly expanded battalion?!" Zhao Gang remembered this. The brigade commander said that he would expand a battalion for Li Yunlong, but he did not say how many people this battalion could recruit.

"Need I say more? It must be the same as the Fourth Battalion, recruiting a thousand people!" Li Yunlong said directly. Since the brigade commander didn't say anything, he must have followed the number standard of the Fourth Battalion.

"The brigade commander won't say anything, right?!" Zhao Gang was a little worried.

"No, don't worry. I also plan to ask the three battalions in front to recruit more soldiers. It would be best if the number of people in the five battalions is about one thousand!" Li Yunlong told the subsequent plan.

Anyway, one battalion already has a thousand people, so five battalions of a thousand people won’t make much difference. Let’s talk about it after we recruit enough people.

"If enough are recruited, the New 1st Regiment will have 5,000 people, which is the size of a regular brigade." Zhao Gang said. The development of the New 1st Regiment is really ridiculously fast.

"If I wasn't afraid of not being able to afford it, I would want to form a battalion of 2,000 people!" Li Yunlong said. In fact, if he really wanted to form a battalion of 2,000 people, he could do it. The only difference is that the food would have to be similar to what it was when he first arrived at the New 1st Regiment.

After all, supplies for tens of thousands of people is a huge number. It is somewhat difficult for him to feed so many people.

"You are quite ambitious." Zhao Gang was stunned. He didn't expect Li Yunlong to be so bold. He wanted to mobilize tens of thousands of people in a regiment!

"This is nothing. In fact, it's just that there are too many people and we are worried about the imbalance of combat power." Li Yunlong said.

He thought that he might be able to have a regiment of over ten thousand people in a year or two, and that he would have enough supplies to support so many people.

Of course, by then he would have a regiment, perhaps eight or nine battalions. He wanted to see if the Japs still dared to trouble him. If there were fewer people coming, he would just swarm and kill them all.

"Old Zhao, speaking of which, have you married? How about I help you find a wife?!" Li Yunlong changed the subject, and when he talked about the latter part, the corners of his mouth raised.

"Go away, the enemy hasn't finished fighting yet, what are you talking about, wife? Why don't you talk about a wife? According to the regulations,
You have already met the criteria, I think we can consider your situation in advance! How about I find one for you when we get back? ! " Zhao Gang said seriously.

Li Yunlong's current situation meets the criteria for being a daughter-in-law. He is over 25 years old, has been a member of the Party for eight years, and is a regimental-level cadre. Li Yunlong already meets the criteria.
