The next day, the soldiers of the new regiment finished breakfast.
After a night's rest, the soldiers of the first battalion regained their energy.
This time, a battalion made a surprise attack on Wanjia Town, marching 110 kilometers back and forth all day and night, with a battle in the middle.
It would be too much for ordinary troops, but the soldiers of the first battalion not only did it, they were still full of energy the next day.
The training slogans were shouted loudly in the Huguchang. The soldiers looked neat and tidy, and their eyes were firm and bright.
New Regiment Headquarters.
Wang Xikui stood in front of Li Yunlong with a marching bag on his back and a rifle in his hand.
Wang Xikui is a little thin and has a rather anxious appearance. He is in his prime at thirty-one or twelve years old and looks like he is in his forties.
He looks very ordinary, and there is nothing special about him among the Eighth Route Army soldiers.
But Li Yunlong knew that this boy looked inconspicuous, but he was actually a true king of soldiers.
"Xizi, we meet again." Li Yunlong looked Wang Xikui up and down and said with a smile.
"Captain, I haven't seen you for many years. How have you been these years?" Wang Xikui's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
When the Red Army crossed the grassland, Li Yunlong was afraid that the soldiers would starve to death, so he sent troops to grab food and was demoted from regimental commander to cook.
Because there was food, the soldiers in Li Yunlong's regiment did not starve to death. The soldiers always remembered Li Yunlong's kindness.
Later, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out and the Fourth Red Army was reorganized, Li Yunlong was promoted to regimental commander.
If Li Yunlong hadn't made a mistake that time, Cheng Shifa would not have had anything to do with his position as the main commander of the 772nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade.
"Why are you crying?" Li Yunlong said, "Don't you think I am not doing well?"
"I'm happy to see the leader." Wang Xikui cried with joy.
Li Yunlong nodded: "I used 3 machine guns and 3,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition to get you from Commander Kong. You have to work hard for me!"
"Yes, Commander, I promise to do a good job!" Wang Xikui was a little flattered. He didn't even know that he was worth three machine guns and 3,000 rounds of ammunition.
Li Yunlong said: "Show me your gun?"
"Yes!" Wang Xikui handed the Hanyang-made rifle to Li Yunlong with both hands.
Li Yunlong took it and opened the magazine and took a look: "Why are you still using this gun? The rifling is smoothed. I will replace it with a sniper rifle another day."
"Captain? What is a sniper rifle?" Wang Xikui looked surprised.
Li Yunlong said: "It is a rifle with a scope. It can see further, see more clearly, and shoot more accurately and further."
Seeing that Wang Xikui still had a confused expression, Li Yunlong said again: "Okay, you go to the first battalion assault company first."
Wang Xikui straightened up: "Yes!"
Li Yunlong shouted: "Hu Zi!"
Huang Erhu ran in and gave a military salute: "Arrived!"
Li Yunlong: "Take Xizi to the assault company and report to Company Commander Xu."
Wang Xikui saluted Li Yunlong with a military salute, and then followed Huang Erhu outside.
After Wang Xikui left, Li Yunlong prepared to move the regiment headquarters to Yangcun today.
Now there are 300 military horses, each of which can carry 500 kilograms, and the accumulated belongings can be transported in one go.
Military horses are treasures. In addition to forming cavalry, they can also be used as transportation tools in your free time, which is convenient and fast.
As early as the Red Army period, Li Yunlong had dreamed of having a cavalry unit of his own.
Li Yunlong was going to wait for Hu Zi to come back and ask Hu Zi to convey the order to pack things to each battalion.
But before Huzi could return to the regiment headquarters, a familiar voice sounded in Li Yunlong's ears: "Old Li! Old Li!"
Li Yunlong heard the sound and walked to the door, only to see Ding Wei, carrying a military bag, stepping in from the door of the regimental headquarters yard.
"Haha, Old Ding, why is it you?" Li Yunlong was surprised at first, and then couldn't help laughing.
"Otherwise, who do you think it is?" Ding Wei said.
The two walked up to each other, first gave each other a military salute, and then hugged each other tightly.
"Old Li, long time no see!" Ding Wei patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder.
"I haven't seen you for several years." Li Yunlong said, "I really didn't expect to see you here, Old Ding."
Li Yunlong invited Ding Wei into the regiment headquarters and asked in surprise: "Old Ding, aren't you in the Jizhong Military Region? Why are you here?"
"Don't mention it anymore." Ding Wei took off his backpack and sat cross-legged on the kang, "I originally planned to go to YA to study this time, but halfway through I received an order from the head of the headquarters, asking me to serve as the new second regiment of the 386 brigade.
Commander, aren't you just about to take office? I happened to hear that you were nearby, so I came over to see you and kill you on the way."
"What a good thing!" Li Yunlong smiled, "This time we brothers from the same class can get together again!"
"But you came at the right time, kid."
"The first battalion just killed two military horses yesterday, and we haven't finished eating the horse meat yet. I'm going to ask the cooking team to fry two hard vegetables, and we old comrades will have a good drink."
"Then I'm welcome!" Ding Wei looked slightly happy when he heard this. He hadn't eaten meat for a while.
After Huzi returned to the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong asked Huzi to notify the cooking team to cook two hard vegetables for Ding Wei.
Then Ding Wei asked: "Old Li, when I just passed by the village's grain farm, I saw no less than 300 troops and horses. Didn't your kid set up a cavalry camp?"
Li Yunlong said: "The first battalion of these 300 horses just got them back from the puppet cavalry camp yesterday. They are still warm when I put them in my hands. I want to make a cavalry camp, but I am not afraid of being robbed by the brigade commander."
Ding Wei asked: "The brigade commander often robs you?"
"Isn't that true?" Li Yunlong said, "Last time I managed to get a batch of heavy firepower, but I was almost robbed by the brigade commander."
Ding Wei's expression changed: "Old Li, I have a way to prevent your troops from being robbed by the brigade commander!"
Li Yunlong hurriedly asked: "Old Ding, what can I do?"
Ding Wei looked at the phone on the table and analyzed: "Look, the brigade commander hasn't called you yet, which means the brigade commander doesn't know about this yet."
"You have to deal with these soldiers and horses quickly before the brigade commander knows it yet."
"If you wait until the brigade commander knows about it, it will be too late."
Li Yunlong asked again: "How to deal with it?"
Ding Wei said: "Old Li, think about it."
"The brigade commander robbed horses and equipment, mostly to use them to form cavalry companies for the two main regiments, the 771st and 772nd regiments."
"Instead of doing this, you might as well take out 200 military horses and give me and Lao Kong 100 military horses each."
"My new second regiment and Lao Kong's independent regiment each formed a cavalry company. Isn't it also to strengthen the strength of our Eighth Route Army?"
"Of course, Lao Kong and I won't take your horses for nothing. We can trade weapons and equipment with you."
"In this way, the brigade commander won't be able to rob you, and you will still earn a lot of weapons and equipment for nothing."
“Isn’t it the best of both worlds?”
"Haha... Just do it!" Li Yunlong's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I said, Old Ding, you are really a fucking dog-headed military advisor!"
The corners of Ding Wei's mouth curled up slightly, noncommittal.
