"I asked you, are you stupid? No wonder I call you Kong Er fool every day... Don't you know that the brigade commander is stingy? Will we still have a share in the spoils after they are handed over to the brigade headquarters... Oh, how do I know you, an idiot like you? Good job
An artillery company is just gone..." Li Yunlong was so angry that he almost cried. He stared at Kong Jie and cursed with an expression of hatred!
Ding Wei looked at Li Yunlong and retorted without hesitation: "You kid, don't stand and talk without your back hurting!"
"Artillery is not any other weapon. There are only a few in the brigade headquarters. If these mountain cannons were captured by the New Regiment, should you, Li Yunlong, hand them over or should you? You still can't keep them... You still have the nerve to criticize Kong Jie here!"
"Even if I can't save the mountain artillery and infantry artillery, I can still save the eight mortars!" Li Yunlong shouted unconvinced, his face not red and his heart not beating when he spoke.
"How can I be like Kong Er, who captured all the good things and turned them over to the brigade headquarters..."
"I worked hard to fight and did whatever my superiors asked me to do, but in the end I didn't get any benefits!"
"Li Yunlong, you must have misunderstood the brigade commander!" Kong Jie didn't think the brigade commander was as ruthless as Li Yunlong said, so he subconsciously retorted.
"He is a bit stingy, but it's definitely not as exaggerated as you said. Every time I hand over the loot, he will give a part of it as a reward to the independent group, which is quite a lot!"
"What else is there? Why can't I take anything back with me every time I turn in my loot?" After listening to Kong Jie's analysis, Li Yunlong immediately showed an expression of disbelief.
Ding Wei smiled and said: "I know the reason!"
"After Kong Jie fought the battle, he strictly enforced battlefield discipline and gave credit for any captured items. He handed over as much loot as he should without discount. The brigade commander would definitely take part of the loot as a reward and leave it to the independent regiment."
"It's good if Lao Li can hand over five of the ten guns he seized on the battlefield. He basically keeps the bulk in his own hands!"
"The brigade commander knows full well that he will definitely not give you any more spoils."
Now it was Li Yunlong's turn to be embarrassed.
But he was very thick-skinned and said with an indifferent expression: "Aren't you used to this?"
"If the brigade commander doesn't give it, I won't give it to you. Anyway, most of the loot will be kept by me in the new regiment."
Then he stared at Kong Jie expectantly and asked, "According to what you say..."
"After the independent regiment handed over the loot to the brigade headquarters, the brigade commander came back with a lot of good things. Tell me what treasures you have!"
"Two infantry cannons, four mortars, four heavy machine guns, eleven crooked handles, eight grenade launchers, three hundred 38-guns, and more than a hundred bastard box pistols!" Kong Jie did not
Conceal it, tell all the treasures, and tell all the spoils that the brigade commander distributed to you.
"So many!" Li Yunlong was surprised when he heard this.
"This is equipment for a reinforced battalion and an artillery company. When did the brigade commander become so generous? Give it to you as much as you ask!"
Ding Wei was also jealous after hearing this.
After the New Regiment broke through the front of Cangyun Ridge, the only machine gun platoon had become a frightening empty frame. Kong Jie, who was usually unobtrusive, actually built an artillery battery!
But he quickly regained his composure and looked at Li Yunlong's analysis: "The independent regiment seized the equipment of an artillery battalion in Cangyunling, and the brigade commander rewarded Lao Kong with an artillery battery. This treatment is very fair and reasonable, and there is no sense of generosity or lack of generosity!"
"Whether it's fair or not is Kong Jie's business. I just want my share of the spoils!" The surprised expression on Li Yunlong's face quickly turned into expectation, and he stared at Kong Jie and asked.
"What you just said about sharing half of the loot with me is still true, right?"
"I, Kong Jie, always speak with spit and nail!" Kong Jie replied firmly.
"As long as you become the commander of the next unit, you can come to the independent regiment at any time to pick up an infantry cannon, two mortars, two heavy machine guns, five crooked handles, four grenades, and one hundred and fifty articles.
Thirty-eight big covers!”
"Haha... I knew that stupid Kong Er wouldn't let his old comrades suffer!" Li Yunlong laughed immediately, and the depression of being transferred to the new regiment was swept away at this moment. Looking at the two old comrades, he made a bold promise.
"I have accepted this great gift you gave me. When I go to the quilt factory and take up my post, I will definitely find a way to get three hundred sets of new military uniforms for each of you. This is Lao Li's thanks to you!"
"Don't... don't..." Kong Jie and Ding Wei refused at the same time.
Li Yunlong was confused and said very unhappy: "What do you mean, I accepted the big gift from you, but you didn't accept what I gave you. You clearly look down on me!"
Ding Wei waved his hand and explained: "We didn't look down on you, we were afraid that you would violate discipline!"
"I forgot how you were transferred from the New Regiment!"
"You have become the director of the quilt factory and you are still restless. Be careful that the boss keeps asking you to stay in the position of director of the quilt factory!"
"If you really want to thank us, wait until you return to the main force and become the regiment leader!"
"Okay!" Li Yunlong said happily.
"With these great gifts from you, I feel much better... I will go to the quilt factory to take up my post now and try to return to the army as soon as possible."
At the 386th Brigade Headquarters, the brigade commander and the chief of staff were tallying up the battle reports compiled by each unit.
The results are very gratifying.
After replenishing the large quantities of weapons and ammunition handed over by the independent regiment, the frontline troops not only stabilized the defense line, but also launched several small-scale counterattacks in local battlefields.
Especially the newly established artillery battalion, combined with the 772nd Regiment and several independent battalions, launched successive attacks: not only did they remove several medium-sized strongholds, but they also surrounded the points for reinforcements and ate a reinforcement force with more than 500 Japanese soldiers.
"Brigadier, plus the independent regiment and the new regiment killed more than a thousand Japanese in Cangyunling, in this counter-mopping operation, we killed more than 2,800 Japanese and more than 1,900 puppet troops in total..."
"Excluding the trophies captured by the independent regiment in Cangyunling, each unit also seized more than 2,400 long and short guns, 39 light machine guns, eight heavy machine guns, six mortars, three infantry guns... various
With over 200,000 rounds of ammunition, a great victory!”
"The casualties are also much smaller than before. Many seriously injured people were saved because of the medicines seized by Kong Jie!"
"When they recover and return to the team, we can at least have hundreds of more squad leaders."
"Kong Jie is a good comrade!" the brigade commander sighed after the words of the chief of staff.
"The key point of this counter-mopping up is Kong Jie. As soon as the Cangyunling raid ended, our troops began to switch from defense to offense, taking the initiative on the battlefield step by step, and finally won the counter-mopping up victory!"
"I will go to the headquarters for a meeting tomorrow and I will definitely give Kong Jie credit!"
