While continuing to wait, not long after, the communications troops sent by Zhao Gang arrived.
"Report to the leader, the political commissar has sent news that the Japanese and puppet troops on the front line are preparing to start a counterattack. Please immediately lead the front line troops to shrink your troops and return to the station."
"Counterattack? What kind of counterattack?" Li Yunlong said with a dark face: "I went out today, and I haven't caught anything yet, so I'm not in a hurry to go back."
"Besides, if this Japs were preparing to launch a counterattack, why didn't I see it?"
"Commander, Commander Kong is here and is waiting for you at the regiment headquarters!" the communications soldier said.
"Lao Kong?" Li Yunlong asked doubtfully: "What is Lao Kong doing in our New Second Regiment?"
"I don't know, but the news that the Japanese and puppet troops were preparing to start a counterattack was brought here by Commander Kong.
Captain Kong also asked me to send a message to you, Captain, on his behalf, telling you to stop staring at the three melons and dates that were being robbed. He has a big deal waiting for you to go back and discuss.
Once things are done, one or two thousand rifles will not be a problem, there will be light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and even mortars."
Li Yunlong was surprised and said: "Lao Kong really said that?"
"Yes!"
"Dabiao, collect the team and return to the station."
"Ah??? Captain, why don't we continue to wait for the situation?" Zhang Dabiao asked.
Li Yunlong looked in the direction of Ping'an County and said thoughtfully: "Lao Kong, this guy won't have nothing to do. He came to our New Second Regiment to spread false news."
"In the defense area of our New Second Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and the New First Regiment, the garrison strength of the Japanese and puppet troops is mainly in Yangquan."
"In other words, what orders did this little devil give from above, and what methods are he planning to adopt to deal with this wave of robbery? They must start from Yangquan."
"I estimate that Lao Kong probably noticed the situation from the Japanese and puppet troops near Yangquan, so he rushed to our New Second Regiment to spread the news as soon as possible."
"There are also the three waves of bandits in front of us. They never came out after entering Ping'an County. Eighty percent of them have been destroyed by the Japanese and puppet troops."
"This situation is indeed a bit wrong. The Japanese and puppet troops in the county seem to have stronger defenses."
Zhang Dabiao said: "We have indeed detected the situation in the past few days. Several Japanese troops have entered Yangquan. Commander, is it really like what Commander Kong said? The Japs are secretly sending more troops to prepare for this wave of robbery and launch
Counterattack?"
Li Yunlong said: "The situation is not clear yet. We cannot be careless about this matter. Let's shrink the troops back first and temporarily stay in the village for defense and garrison. I will go back and meet with Lao Kong to find out what the situation is."
"Yes!"
………………
At the headquarters of the New Second Regiment, Kong Jie waited for nearly an hour before Li Yunlong arrived belatedly.
When the two parties met, Kong Jie directly cursed: "I said, Lao Li, you are so arrogant now. I finally came to your new second group, but you made me wait for more than an hour."
!"
"Haha, Lao Kong, who of us is following who? If you get tired of waiting, just sleep on my bed, and we, Lao Li, will be back." Li Yunlong laughed.
Kong Jie said: "Screw you. If you don't come back, I'll go find Old Ding for this deal I'm going to give you."
"No!" Li Yunlong's voice was long.
Kong Jie is now capable, and Li Yunlong is deeply touched.
If Kong Jie appears here, saying that there is a business negotiation, there will definitely be benefits. If he gives Ding Wei an advantage, that is not Li Yunlong's temperament.
After chatting for a while, Li Yunlong also sat down on the kang.
Kong Jie joked: "Old Li, I heard that your New Second Regiment has been robbing the Japanese-occupied areas during this period and has been quite violent.
It is said that when they invaded villages and towns, they not only robbed maintenance associations and robbed various Japanese material warehouses, but also the puppet soldiers, traitors, and even pro-Japanese factions in the county town had to be robbed by your New Second Regiment.<
/p>
Don't you, Mr. Li, want to capture the wives of puppet soldiers and traitors and give one to each of the soldiers of the New Second Regiment?"
Hahahaha——
Li Yunlong couldn't help but laugh, and after he finished laughing, he pointed at Kong Jie's nose and cursed:
"Lao Kong, you still have the nerve to say that I fell into your trap and suffered a huge loss in terms of changing residence.
I asked you, why do you dare to leave such a good place to me?
The oil and water around the emotional station has long been drained by your independent group.
Ever since my new Second Regiment was stationed in Yangcun, my dear, I can't find any Japanese, puppet troops, or people doing side jobs around. The whole regiment is so damn poor that it's almost impossible to open the pot.
This time I finally get the chance to rob the Japanese-occupied area, and I will definitely have to do something big."
Kong Jie said without changing his expression, "Old Li, I don't like hearing what you are saying. Everything has pros and cons. I leave you this station, which at least saves you a lot of time in infrastructure construction. p>
This time can be used to train the new recruits, which is suitable for the actual situation of your new second regiment.
As for the oil and water around the station, why don't you think about it from another angle? I, Lao Kong, solved the hidden dangers of the Japanese and puppet troops in the surrounding area for you?
After all, you still have to thank me!"
Li Yunlong was speechless for a moment and looked at Zhao Gang next to him.
Zhao Gang was dumbfounded and said: "Old Li, what do you think I am doing?"
Li Yunlong said: "I'm talking about Lao Zhao, we usually wear the same pair of trousers. How come this old Kong is here and you are acting like a dull gourd?"
"Lao Kong, this kid is very smooth-talking and eloquent now. As a political commissar, you have to help me out, right?"
Kong Jile said: "Old Li, you don't understand this. Old Zhao is in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han. Although he is a political commissar in your New Second Regiment, his heart is still in my independent regiment!"<
/p>
Li Yunlong said: "Stop talking nonsense!"
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Okay, okay, let's get down to business first!"
Kong Jie said: "Yes, yes, let's talk about the business first. It was all this kid Lao Li who messed it up. I almost forgot about it."
Speaking of business, Li Yunlong also became energetic and said seriously: "Old Kong, I am shrinking the frontline team. This is all for your sake. You Lao Kong said that there is a big deal waiting for me to come back."
Let’s discuss it. Without saying a word, I will give up all the oil and water on the front line and rush back. Don’t let me, Lao Li, down.”
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lao Li, this deal will definitely suit your taste."
"What kind of deal is it?" Li Yunlong asked.
Kong Jie said: "Since the looting trend during this period, the Japanese have been shrinking their troops and occupying major counties, villages and towns, and strongholds for defense, maintaining law and order in the occupied areas, and preventing teams from all parties from taking advantage of the situation."
"But just this morning, Xiaonan Village and Xiaobei Village, which were recently captured by our independent regiment, were almost raided by the Japanese and puppet troops in Yangquan."
"Why did the Japanese and puppet troops go out of their way and suddenly take the initiative to raid the villages and towns outside the county?"
"Obviously, the Japanese must be brewing some conspiracy."
"The purpose of clearing out some nearby villages and towns around the county in advance is to cut off our eyes and ears so that we cannot receive news."
"When Lao Zhao and I talked about this before, Lao Zhao even believed that the little devils are now deliberately using villages and towns as bait to lure bandits, the Central Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army, and the local national army to continue deep into the occupied areas to rob, and wait until the right time
At the right time, the little devil will suddenly close the net and catch all these targets."
Li Yunlong did not deny it: "Yes, it is indeed possible."
Kong Jie said: "I have sent someone to report the specific situation to the brigade headquarters. The brigade commander and political commissar also have relevant information on hand and should be able to analyze the problem."
Li Yunlong asked in confusion: "Lao Kong, what does this matter you are talking about have to do with the business we are going to discuss? Did you come back here to trick me?"
Kong Jie scolded: "Old Li, you can't bite Lu Dongbin. I heard that your New Second Regiment has been quite aggressive in seizing supplies and cash from the Japanese-occupied areas with arms these days. I'm worried about your safety.
I just rushed here in a hurry."
"As for buying and selling..."
Seeing Kong Jie talking about business, is there really business?
Li Yunlong laughed quickly and said: "Haha, Lao Kong, I accept your favor. Let's talk about the business now. What is the deal?"
Kong Jie nodded, cleared his throat again, and shouted to the monk in the outer room: "Monk, watch carefully and don't let anyone come in."
"Yes!" the monk in the outer room responded.
Li Yunlong asked in confusion: "Lao Kong, what kind of business is so mysterious?"
Kong Jie lowered his voice a little, and even his body that was originally sitting upright was tilted a little, and said: "Old Li, what teams are involved in robbing the Japanese-occupied areas this time?"
Li Yunlong said: "First it was the bandits, then it was our Eighth Route Army, then the Shanxi-Sui Army, the Central Army, and the national army from other factions, basically all came to join in the fun."
Kong Jie said: "That's right, Lao Li, think about it, we have noticed signs that the Japanese are preparing to launch a major counterattack, and even the wave of robbery in front of us is a trap deliberately set by the Japanese."
"But just because we can find it doesn't mean that the bandits can also be found by the Central Army, Shanxi-Sui Army, and some national army units."
"As for this person, once he is blinded by profit, it will not be easy to escape. Seeing that there are still benefits to be gained, which of these teams is willing to stop?"
"And once the little devils launch a counterattack against this wave of robberies, it won't matter whether they are our Eighth Route Army or other teams in the big net."
"If the armed forces of all parties do not retreat in time, they will definitely fall into the disaster of the Japanese counterattack."
"Ahem, but our Eighth Route Army has always been benevolent and righteous, and we will never ignore the anti-Japanese armed forces. If there are bandits and Japs, there are Jinsui Army and Japs, and there are stubborn troops and Japs." p>
"While these teams are fighting the Japs, let's take the opportunity to make a detour and outflank the Japs. Can we get some benefits?"
Li Yunlong's heart moved and he immediately understood Kong Jie's plan.
This is to take advantage of other forces to fight against the Japanese.
For example, when the Japanese and the stubborn army are almost fighting, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment suddenly appear to reap the benefits.
This is a good deal!
Kong Jie: "After we rescue people, we ask them for some equipment. Is this reasonable?"
Li Yunlong said: "We, Old Li, have poor eyesight and always like to regard the uniforms of the national army and the uniforms of the puppet army as the same thing. What if the national army troops are disarmed as the Japanese devils, is this reasonable?
”
Kong Jie said: "The conditions of our Eighth Route Army are difficult. After rescuing people, we borrowed all their supplies and equipment for use. Even if their wealthy Central Army troops supported our Eighth Route Army in resisting Japan, is this reasonable?"<
/p>
Li Yunlong said: "Taking advantage of the situation to rob friendly forces? Deliberately creating friction? You can't say this nonsense. The situation at that time was too complicated. We accidentally treated the national army as puppet troops and beat them!"
Kong Jie said: "Equipment? Oh, it seems that we accidentally seized a batch of equipment, but we didn't even know the numbers of the national army and the Shanxi-Sui Army at that time, and we couldn't find anyone to return it!"
Li Yunlong: "Put it off for now, and then pay it back after you figure it out in a while."
Kong Jie: "I didn't return it even after I found out. They said the equipment belonged to them, and I even said it belonged to my independent group!"
Li Yunlong: "If we don't take action, all these equipments belong to the Japanese."
Kong Jie: "So we have done something good. When Boss Jiang and Boss Yan know about it, they both have to praise us!"
"That's right."
"This is so reasonable!"
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie said in unison, looked at each other, and laughed together.
