Chapter 37 The Suddenly Generous Brigadier

After receiving the telegram from the boss, the brigade commander summoned Li Yunlong to the brigade headquarters.

In order to preserve other weapons and equipment, apply for commendation for Zhang Wu, and send troops to the brigade artillery company for training after the sweep, Li Yunlong not only brought a radio, but also two Type 92 infantry guns, and was prepared to be robbed.

But what he didn't expect was that the brigade commander not only agreed to all his requests without asking for anything, but also lent him 6 artillerymen, 1 communications soldier, and supported him with 3 basic units of 60 artillery shells.

The brigade commander was so generous that Li Yunlong couldn't be fooled. He swallowed hard, a little bit unbelieving:

"Commander, you, what are you doing?

I originally thought that I would be very lucky if you didn't rob me, but you gave me so many things, which made me very uneasy!"

"What kind of bullshit are you talking about? Am I the one who robbed my subordinates of their equipment?"

Li Yunlong's expression made the brigade commander laugh in his heart, but he glared at him on the surface:

"Besides, this is a loan, not a gift. When the anti-mopping-up operation is over, you have to return all the men, artillery, and radio stations to me!
Is that okay? No, I saved some money..."

"OK, OK!"

Seeing that the brigade commander was not being polite, Li Yunlong quickly stopped him and said:
"How could it not work? I was just worried about not being able to use the infantry artillery, and you solved it all for me. Thank you, Brigade Commander!"

At this point, Li Yunlong immediately came to his senses. He patted his chest and assured:
"Brigade Commander, just give the order. No matter what the mission is, our New 1st Regiment will ensure it is completed!"

"It's easy to talk to smart people!"

The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong with satisfaction, then frowned and said solemnly:
“The main attack direction of the enemy’s sweep has been determined, which is Luo Village where you are, Cangyun Ridge.

Your seduction of the Japs was very successful. Within two months, the large-scale cleanup will surely begin.

By then, it will take at least four hours for the division headquarters and the field hospital to move..."

Before he could finish, Li Yunlong immediately said:

"For 8 hours, my new regiment will stay in Cangyun Ridge for 8 hours. I guarantee that the Japanese won't be able to fly over even if they have wings!"

"Well said, this is inspiring!"

The brigade commander patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder:

"But you don't have to stay there for eight hours. Your mission is to cover the evacuation of the division headquarters, not to fight to the death!

The Japanese are coming with great force this time. In your direction, in addition to the main attacking Sakata Regiment, there are also two squadrons from Fangxian County and the 2th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army, a total of five to six thousand people.

The Sakata Regiment, in particular, was the main field force of the Japanese army, with 3800 people, including 3 infantry battalions, 1 artillery company, and 1 heavy machine gun company. Its firepower was more than three times that of the Fukado Battalion.

You only need to hold on to Cangyun Ridge for 4 hours. By then, the 772nd Regiment and the 771st Regiment that will replace the Independent Regiment will take turns to cover the evacuation of your New Regiment.

As for where to break out, we'll have to wait and see how the Japs attack!"

"Sakata Unit?!"

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up:
"Great, Brigade Commander, just wait and see. If I don't give that old devil Sakata a good beating and vent your anger for the Independent Regiment, I'm not Li Yunlong!"

The brigade commander kicked him on the buttocks and pointed at his nose, warning:
"Don't get carried away, kid. Your regiment's mission is to hold the line, not to attack. What did I tell you last time at the brigade?

If you dare to let the devils break through your defense line..."

"You can just tear my head off and use it as a chamber pot!"

Li Yunlong knew that he had talked too much, so he quickly took over the conversation loudly and laughed:

"Don't worry, Commander. I, Li Yunlong, know the difference between the important and the unimportant. How dare I joke about the safety of the division headquarters?"

"I don't need such a big chamber pot!" The brigade commander cursed, and then his expression eased. He emphasized again in a sarcastic tone:

"You give me some trouble, you give me more trouble!"

Li Yunlong waved his hands repeatedly:
"I dare not, I dare not. I, Li Yunlong, listen to the brigade commander the most. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to beat a dog, I will never scold a chicken!"

"Forget it, I still don't know you?"

The brigade commander was too lazy to argue with him. After the slap, it was time to give him some sweet treats:
"You, Li Yunlong, fought well in this battle. With only 700 casualties, you wiped out the Shen Teng Battalion of more than 1200 people. Even the boss praised you!"

He took out a telegram from his pocket and read it to Li Yunlong himself:

"In view of the outstanding performance of the New 1st Regiment, I will give them a verbal praise. When the sweep is over, I will issue a commendation order to the New 1st Regiment!"

The boss’s praise?!
Li Yunlong's eyes lit up again and he couldn't wait to take the telegram. Even though he didn't recognize many words, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong with a mixture of love and hate. If Li Yunlong didn't cause trouble, he would be the most useful general under his command!

We can fight, we can fight tough battles, and we can fight tough battles well!

At this time, the chief of staff came in with the commendation written. The brigade commander looked at it and found no problem, so he handed it to Li Yunlong. Fearing that Li Yunlong could not understand it, he read it to him again:
"In view of Zhang Wu's outstanding performance in several battles, I hereby commend him!"

As he spoke, he sighed:
"Zhang Wu from your group is really amazing. He has been able to save the situation for you at critical moments several times.

Your combat reports all praise him to the sky. If I have the chance, I really want to see if this famous 'Master Zhang Wu' is really the Erlang Shen guarding Guanjiangkou!"

Hearing his words, Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows, this coincided with Zhang Wu's application!

So he carefully put the two documents into his arms and took the opportunity to say:
"Isn't it easy for you to meet him? When the sweep is over and we have escaped the Japanese encirclement, I will bring him to the brigade headquarters!"

The brigade commander nodded:
"it is good!"

Now that the matter was settled, Li Yunlong was afraid that the brigade commander would go back on his word, so he immediately set off and returned to the New 1st Regiment with his belongings and people.

In order to boost morale and recruit soldiers, Li Yunlong gathered all the soldiers and asked Zhang Dabiao to read the commander's telegram in public.

All the soldiers became excited when they heard that the boss not only praised them but also confirmed the time for issuing the commendation.

This is no longer just recognition, but a guaranteed honor!
Huge honor!
That’s not all. Li Yunlong called Zhang Wu up and gave Zhang Wu the brigade commander’s commendation in public.

Seeing the soldiers looking at Zhang Wu with envy, Li Yunlong took the opportunity to say:

"You want it? Sure, but you have to show results!
Not only did our Zhang Wu hold the Japanese at Panshui Town for three days, he also single-handedly made up for our lack of firepower when we attacked the heavy armored squadron. He even provided support from both sides when we attacked Panshui Town, not to mention the battle against the Shenteng Battalion. Without him, we would have no chance of winning!

This award was earned through hard work!
As long as you have the ability and can perform well, I will apply for you to be the brigade commander, division commander, or headquarters commander!"

Hearing this, the soldiers seemed to see light, and their eyes lit up again. One soldier couldn't help but ask:
"Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

Li Yunlong's expression became serious, and he said with a solemn oath:
"Our Li Yunlong is a man of few words. If you dare to fight the Japanese, you will have meat to eat! Otherwise, it's useless to envy them. It's your own fault that you are incompetent and timid."

"I'm not a coward, I want to eat meat too!"

One soldier shouted with high morale, and the other soldiers began to howl:

"That's right, I also dare to kill the devils, I want a reward too!"

"And I……"

　I beg for your monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, collections, follow-up reading, and investment rewards~
