Chapter 137 Give Zhang Wu a Reward

Scouts had already reported that the brigade commander was waiting at the front. Li Yunlong ordered the independent regiment to rest on the spot, and then he and Zhao Gang trotted to the brigade commander.

He thought the brigade commander was going to give him instructions, but as soon as he stood at attention and saluted, before he could even open his mouth, the brigade commander smiled and said:
"Li Yunlong, congratulations on your fortune!"

not good!

Hearing this, Li Yunlong's heart skipped a beat and he quickly tried to stop the brigade commander from speaking:

"What kind of fortune can we make? We are so poor that we have to sell our trousers. I plan to expand two battalions with the spoils of war this time..."

"You expand one regiment by two battalions, so does my brigade have to expand by two regiments?"

Interrupting Li Yunlong's words, the brigade commander said with an unchanged smile:

"Stop talking nonsense. Send half of what you seized this time to the county. The remaining equipment is enough for you to expand two battalions!"

"No, Brigade Commander, the two battalions I mentioned are just an approximate number. You can't just assume that it's just two battalions!"

Li Yunlong looked reluctant and began to list his achievements:

"I didn't bring shame to our 386th Brigade by cooperating with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army this time, did I?

We captured more spoils and suffered fewer casualties, which made the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army unable to find fault with us and they even had to thank us. We earned you enough face, right?
You, the great brigade commander, can't just abandon the donkey after it has done its job!"

"Kill the donkey after it's done its job? Stop throwing dirty water on me!"

The brigade commander glared:

"Without me fighting for you, can you fight this battle?

Besides, you wanted to transfer out of Zhaojiabao, did I stop you? Not only did I agree directly, but I also worked hard to pick a good place for you to develop. So, you eat the ready-made place, don't you give me some hard work fee?

Originally, I was planning to let you go to Wu County, and I wouldn't care about anything and wouldn't ask anything. Since you don't want to...

Comrade Li Yunlong, considering that your independent regiment suffered heavy casualties in this battle, you are arranged to return to Zhaojiabao for recuperation. As for the possible retaliation of the little devils in the near future, you don't need to worry about it, Commander Li!"

Don't care about anything, don't ask anything?

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that the brigade commander would pick a good place for him and give him so much autonomy!

He suddenly felt that the equipment was not so useful anymore!

"No, no, it's not that I don't want to!"

Li Yunlong waved his hands repeatedly and quickly found a reason to explain:
"I am not from a poor family, so I can't bear to leave! Since you, the brigade commander, have spoken, I, Li Yunlong, will not hesitate and will resolutely carry out your orders!"

Seeing the brigade commander's expression ease, he took the opportunity to say:
"But you have to agree to a small request of mine!"

"I don't care about anything, I don't ask anything, and you still make demands?"

The brigade commander glared again:
"I'm warning you, Li Yunlong, don't push your luck!"

"How dare I?"

Li Yunlong looked like a servile person, nodding, bowing and smiling:

"Our Zhang Wu performed very well in this battle. I want to give him a brigade combat hero award. Just a brigade award will do!"

"That's pretty much it!"

The brigade commander snorted with satisfaction, then pointed at Li Yunlong and warned:

"I asked you to go to Wu County to win the battle. If you become complacent and greedy for merit and rush forward just because you see a little profit, you will lose the battle for me..."

"You cut off my head!"

Li Yunlong loudly took over the conversation, then patted his chest and assured:

"Don't worry, Commander. Haha, I, Li Yunlong, will never do a business that loses money!" The Chief of Staff was nearby at the right time and handed Li Yunlong the detailed information about Wu County and Changzhi:
"I let you go because I think you are smart in a war and won't suffer any loss. You must not disappoint the brigade commander's expectations of you!"

Li Yunlong immediately understood the deep meaning behind the words and nodded:

"I understand. Just wait and see."

"Ok!"

The brigade commander then patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder:

"Have someone send the weapons and equipment to us. Follow me to the county seat and I will write you a commendation!"

At this point, he suddenly looked at Li Yunlong as if he remembered something:

"Didn't you seize two radios from the Tada Regiment? You can keep the high-powered one!

Don't bother me with small matters, but you, Li Yunlong, have to listen to me when it comes to big matters. If you make a mistake, I can also dispatch troops to cover for you!"

Feeling the brigade commander's deep concern, Li Yunlong stood at attention and said:

"Yes, thank you, Brigadier General!"

Seeing that the brigade commander had no further instructions, he asked Zhao Gang to arrange the delivery of the weapons, and then followed the brigade commander to the county town. After receiving the commendation order, he returned to the independent regiment.

The commendation was awarded to Zhang Wu in public, making Zhang Wu the most handsome guy in the independent regiment again and motivating the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the independent regiment. After the weapons and equipment were delivered, he led the independent regiment straight to Zhengzhuang.

Zhengzhuang is located in the mountains southeast of Wuxian County, and 30 kilometers further south is the territory of Changzhi.

After entering Wu County and marching for 10 days, the independent regiment officially entered Zhengzhuang.

The next step was to rest and recruit soldiers. The entire independent regiment proceeded in an orderly manner.

After resting for three days, Zhang Wu had nothing to do, so he wanted to kill the Japanese for fun.

He went to the regiment headquarters to find Li Yunlong and applied to fight alone.

Li Yunlong was not surprised to see Zhang Wu. He spread out the map, pointed to the 70-kilometer area centered on Zhengzhuang, and introduced it to Zhang Wu:

"According to the intelligence of the brigade commander, apart from the three squadrons of Japanese soldiers and one regiment of puppet troops in the county seat, the other artillery towers and strongholds are all smaller than two squads.

You have defeated them all before. I guess if you fight them again, they won’t dare to come out to support you, so there will be no benefits to be gained.

Changzhi is different. It is a medium-sized city with the 29th Brigade stationed there. The Japanese in the artillery towers are very arrogant. If you attack one place, they will definitely support you. They have plenty of money!"

As he said this, he glanced at Zhang Wu:
"How about we go to Changzhi and beat the hell out of the Japs?"

With magical skills in hand, he is not afraid of fighting the Japanese anywhere!
Patting his chest, Zhang Wu said majestically:
"No doubt about it, we will beat up whoever is arrogant, and we will beat up wherever there is profit!
Not to mention those small-scale support, even if the entire 29th Brigade came to support, I would dare to kill them!"

"Good job! These are my Li Yunlong's soldiers!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu's shoulder in agreement, then pointed to several artillery towers near Wu County in Changzhi and said specifically:
"Go due south from here, along the Taihang Mountains for 35 kilometers and you will reach the Yangshuxia stronghold, where there is a squad of Japanese soldiers and two companies of puppet troops.

After passing the Yangshuxia stronghold, 5 kilometers southeast is the Luoshiling stronghold, which contains a squadron and a battalion of puppet troops.

After passing the Luoshiling stronghold, 10 kilometers away is Wuling Town, which houses two squadrons and one simplified regiment of puppet troops.

Within 50 kilometers, everything else is not worth mentioning, not even enough to fill your teeth!"

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued:

"The three places are all located at the foot of the mountain. The mountains connecting them are the remnants of the Taihang Mountains. They are all very suitable for guerrilla warfare!"

Zhang Wu nodded, thought for a moment, and decided:
"Then we can take down the Shiling stronghold. Then more Japanese soldiers from Wuling Town will come to support us!"

 I beg you to support me, give me monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, collection and investment rewards~
