Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

No wonder he was so excited. The first time he saw Qiao Lin, he was attracted by the unique insights in this young man's mind and decided that he was a talent.

And after the Qiaozhuang operation and the bombing of the heavy machine gun bunker of the Yamazaki Brigade, he was even more sure that Qiao Lin was not only a talent, but also a fierce general.

He believes that Qiao Lin will have unlimited room for growth in the future, and he also looks forward to seeing a radiant new star rising.

It was precisely because of so many expectations that he cared about Qiao Lin. He did not want this young man to go astray and lose himself in reality.

But how long has it been?Qiao Lin has learned how to give gifts through the back door?Although not for self-interest, such behavior is highly undesirable.

We must know that the Eighth Route Army, as an army developed from the ordinary people, has the people at its core.

Don't engage in mutual protection between officials and officials, don't form cliques, don't operate in secret, and pay attention to fairness, justice and openness in life and deeds.

And Qiao Lin's behavior not only violated the principles and discipline of the Eighth Route Army, but also regarded him as an object of bribery.

Brigadier Chen is upright and proud all his life, how can he not be angry?

"Brigade Commander, that, you, have you misunderstood?"

Qiao Lin and Brigadier Chen stood on both sides of the table with narrow eyes, stammering.

"Misunderstanding? Hmph, everything is left at my door, and you still want to quibble? Dare to do it or not?"

Brigadier Chen pointed at the cans and rice still piled outside the door, and became even angrier.

"Brigade Commander, I understand why our regiment leader is so afraid of you. It was purely scolded by you. You are simply indiscriminate. Does this gift-giving have anything to do with asking you for a favor?"

Qiao Lin said with a wry smile, and suddenly he could understand Li Yunlong's feeling when he was a scapegoat.

"Is it okay?"

Brigadier Chen asked back.

"It's ok!"

Jolin said with certainty and affirmation.

Seeing that Brigadier Chen didn't want to continue arguing about this issue, Qiao Lin understood that if he didn't explain this matter clearly today, let alone the food issue of the cavalry company, he might lose the trust of the brigade commander himself.

"Brigade Commander, you said that you can raise your opinion, so now I have an opinion for you, can I raise it?"

Qiao Lin saluted and said solemnly.

Brigadier Chen was stunned by these words. He thought that Qiao Lin would continue to defend himself with rhetoric, but when he opened his mouth, he had an opinion on him, which surprised him a bit.

"Your tone is very similar to Li Yunlong. If you have any opinions, feel free to raise them. I am not a warlord, and I have no habit of not listening to opinions."

Brigadier Chen nodded, as if he saw in Qiao Lin the shadow of the man who dared to challenge him face to face not long after joining the army.

"Your words are too absolute. Do you have to go through the back door to give gifts? Could it be that our Eighth Route Army is all machines and has no human feelings at all?"

Qiao Lin's momentum rose immediately. He knew very well that if he showed any tactful and negotiating attitude, it would be useless for him to say more today.

"Uh... That's not true. The Eighth Route Army is also a human being, and it also has affection, righteousness, and flesh and blood."

Brigadier Chen was very insulted, and wanted to refute, but Qiao Lin's words were well-founded, and he couldn't find fault at all.

"Since we are human beings, it is normal for people to communicate with each other. Ordinary people have to bring some gifts when they visit relatives and friends, because that is the most basic courtesy, but if you follow your logic, as long as you carry something, you just need Go through the back door."

Qiao Lin continued to be aggressive, first overthrowing the notion that he wanted to give gifts through the back door, and then the rest would be easy to handle.

"Uh..."

Brigadier Chen was speechless.

"It's one thing to ask you for help, and another to bring you some gifts. Why do you confuse the two? To be honest, before I came to the brigade headquarters, I went back to the independent regiment headquarters and gave us The head of the regiment brought a gift, but I didn't ask him for anything, may I ask the brigade commander, is this considered a back door?"

Qiao Lin, who had already gained the upper hand in terms of momentum, straightened his waist all of a sudden, picked up the cigarette on the table, lit it on his own, and smoked fiercely, as if he was very angry.

"That's the reason, but what you are doing now is the attitude of talking to the superiors?"

Brigadier Chen slapped the table again.

Chapter 550 Don't Dare To Conceal Something

Qiao Lin quickly threw the half of the cigarette in his hand to the ground, realizing that he was getting carried away, and only wanted to hold down Brigadier Chen in terms of momentum.

But who is Brigadier Chen?What battles haven't you seen?Will he be fooled by his few words?

Although the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are equal, can there be divisions between superiors and subordinates?

A guard questioned the brigade commander one after another with a cigarette in his mouth. Although he could not be said to be guilty of crimes, he was still a bit arrogant.

Brigadier Chen didn't greet Li Yunlong with a belt like he did to Li Yunlong, which is already very face-saving.

"Brigade Commander, our regiment leader is injured. I brought some gifts to see him because I care about him. You are a superior and someone I respect. It is reasonable for me to bring some gifts to see you. I am not an egoist, and Not a conspirator, but expressing feelings with people close to him in the most normal way, which is normal in itself."

Qiao Lin spread out his hands, and his tone softened a lot.

Brigadier Chen let out a breath slowly and calmed down a lot.

In fact, he is not really so rigid that he doesn't even understand human relations, but firstly, he has too high expectations of Qiao Lin, and as the so-called caring is chaotic, secondly, as soon as Qiao Lin put down the gift, he asked him for help. The seamless connection made him have to think more.

"I'm also worried that you will get those bad habits. I was too arbitrary in this matter. I apologize to you."

Brigadier Chen lowered his head slightly and took the initiative to admit his mistake.

Just this kind of bearing and open-mindedness is enough for Qiao Lin to admire.

As the old saying goes, knowing a mistake can make a big difference, but how many people can really do this?

For a person in a high position like Brigadier Chen, even if he insisted on his point of view, Qiao Lin couldn't do anything to him.

But after figuring out the reason, he can let go of his prejudice and apologize to the other party in the first time, which already shows his quality and character.

"Brigade Commander, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, can we continue the previous topic? The cavalry company..."

Qiao Lin heaved a sigh of relief. Before he came, he had envisioned many possibilities, all of which might become obstacles to the food supply trip, but he did not expect that the gift he brought would also become a stumbling block.

"Don't worry, I have a few questions that I want to clarify first. You slipped your tongue about the cavalry company. I didn't ask too much. Today you brought it up again. Are you planning to confess to me?"

Brigadier Chen waved his hand and interrupted Qiao Lin.

Food, equipment, and military strength have always been the three major problems for the Eighth Route Army to coexist.

Except for the registered three divisions, six brigades and twelve regiment-level units that have supplies and rations, the food problems of other troops have to be solved by themselves.

Due to difficulties in purchasing, high prices, and difficulties in transportation, the Eighth Route Army has always been careful about the issue of food, and all the soldiers in the ranks are allocated by quota.

That is to say, from the commander-in-chief down to the ordinary soldiers, everyone has the same amount of rations. It is impossible for everyone to eat enough. Increasing the amount means breaking the existing rations, which is not a problem. It is not a problem that can be solved by talking about it.

Even if Brigadier Chen wanted to help Qiao Lin, he could not make the decision by himself, so he had to figure out the reason so that he could give a reasonable answer when applying to the higher-ups.

Many problems were involved, such as the cavalry company had never participated in a battle, why should a non-combat unit be given a sudden increase in rations, because the soldiers' appetite increased?Or because of combat needs?

"Yes, I thought you knew about the cavalry company, but later I found out that you didn't know, so I didn't dare to tell you, but now I have to confess to you."

Qiao Lin kept Li Yunlong's instructions in mind, and did not lie about this matter. From the time when the independent regiment ambushed the little devil to replenish equipment, and when he talked about completely annihilating a cavalry squadron of the little devil, how did he persuade Li Yunlong to agree to attack the cavalry company? Training, until now the cavalry company has the ability to fight, nothing is hidden, everything has been said.

Brigadier Chen nodded, except that the cavalry company already had combat capabilities, other things were similar to what he understood.

"Okay, let me talk about the second question, you are training the cavalry company, and Li Yunlong is capable of robbing the enemy's supplies, but you said he didn't know about it, can I understand that those things outside are yours? Did it with a cavalry company? How many times did you do it?"

Brigadier Chen then asked.

Ever since Li Yunlong led people to ambush the little devil and seized the equipment for the first time, he had already received the news, but he kept pretending not to know.

The higher-ups can help solve the problem of food, but the equipment has always been figured out by each unit, basically relying on seizures from the battlefield.

After the independent regiment suffered heavy losses, it has not been able to recover. In addition to the shortage of soldiers, equipment is also a major problem.

If the superior doesn't send it out, and I don't think about it, will the equipment fall from the sky by itself?

It can be captured on the battlefield, so can't it be captured outside the battlefield?

Although Li Yunlong's behavior was suspected of robbery, the target was a kid after all, so Brigadier Chen turned a blind eye to every point and never intervened.

But now not only Li Yunlong went to rob, even Qiao Lin also learned to lead others to rob, which made him a little hard to accept.

It's not that Qiao Lin did something wrong, but the cavalry company has never been on the battlefield since its establishment. Now under the leadership of Qiao Lin, the first battle is to rob. He is really worried that the thinking of the entire cavalry company will go astray and be contaminated Get angry.

"I led the cavalry company to do it. I did it once and seized a total of [-] boxes of canned food..."

Qiao Lin recited the list of spoils that Sun Desheng was given to him again.

"Two hundred boxes..."

Brigadier Chen didn't know anything about the cavalry company blocking the road and robbing the little devil's transport vehicle. He thought that at most he had robbed a small stronghold, but these figures almost didn't shock his jaw.

"What kind of place are you robbing, why do you even have trucks?"

Brigadier Chen covered his forehead, secretly thinking that Qiao Lin really couldn't be underestimated, as long as this kid doesn't make a move, it's no small matter once he makes a move.

"Brigade Commander, there is nothing we can do. The army has run out of food, and the grass roots haven't even grown in the ground. We can't let the soldiers starve to death. I just want to get some food from the little devils, so I can deal with it later." During the monthly food distribution, we happened to find that there was a little devil’s supply station more than 100 kilometers away from the station. We judged that it was likely to refuel the passing vehicles of the little devil, so we stayed in ambush on the road and intercepted it for a day. We didn’t get something to eat until evening.”

When mentioning this matter, Qiao Lin was also very speechless, but he wouldn't do such a thing if the cavalry didn't have enough food.

"Supply station?"

Brigadier Chen cried out, startling Qiao Lin.

"Is the supply station you mentioned near the Changlong Highway?"

Before Qiao Lin asked why Brigadier Chen seemed to be stimulated, Brigadier Chen had already stood up, walked around the table and walked in front of him, asking eagerly.

"Changlong Highway?"

Qiao Lin was confused, it was the first time he heard this name.

"Where is your cavalry company stationed? Point it out to me."

Brigadier Chen seemed to be in a hurry, and he directly dragged Qiao Lin to the front of the combat area, asking him to point out the specific location to him.

Chapter 550 The Sixth An Oolong Comes

"right here."

Qiaolin glanced at the map and pointed out exactly where the cavalry company was stationed.

"Then where is the enemy supply station you found?"

Brigadier Chen asked again.

"here."
