Li Yunlong's heart is extremely broken now, and his whole person is not well.
He could swear that with his loud voice, every word of what he and Lao Kong said outside the courtyard would fall on the ears of the brigade commander and the leaders in front of him.
"Li Yunlong, I congratulate you on getting rich!"
When the brigade commander said this, there was no expression on his face.
But it was this invisible expression that made Li Yunlong's heart tremble the most.
If the brigade commander came up and scolded him, or even kicked him, Lao Li would be relieved.
This shows that the brigade commander is not angry.
The more expressionless the brigade commander's face, the more terrifying it is. This is when Li Yunlong is at his most miserable.
Li Yunlong now wants to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He is not ashamed, but panicked.
Everyone is panicking!
Especially when the brigade commander said "I congratulate you on getting rich", Li Yunlong's heart skipped a beat.
The equipment that was finally seized from the Japanese and the stubborn 251st Regiment was originally divided into only 30%.
Let alone 30% this time, it’s pretty good to keep one achievement.
Lao Li turned around, wanting to drag Kong Jie over and scold him.
You are all fucking idiots. If you insist on inviting me to come to the Independent Group for a New Year’s dinner, I just can’t come. Just don’t come!
I had to come here, but now it's better. The gun hole is blocked, and the equipment is still outside. It's too late to hide it even if I want to.
Li Yunlong, who had a sad look on his face, smiled twice at the brigade commander. When he entered the room, his face was full of excitement and excitement, but he had long since disappeared without a trace.
"Then what, brigade commander, I'm going to call Lao Kong in... Lao Kong, why are you lingering? Why don't you come in quickly?"
Li Yunlong shouted outside the room, thinking in his mind that if he was going to die, he would have to drag Kong Er with him. It was better for two people to carry it than for one person. Even if they went to the brigade headquarters to take the blame for the brigade commander and feed the horses, two people would not be able to do it.
Much easier.
Kong Jie, who was outside the house, heard Li Yunlong's shout and walked towards the inner room with some doubts.
After entering the house and opening the curtain, Kong Jie was dumbfounded for several seconds.
What's going on?
Why do these big guys get together? When did my little independent group become so popular?
"Hello, leaders!"
Kong Jie quickly saluted the brigade commander and his party. Now he finally understood why Lao Li's voice when he called him just now was a bit sad.
No wonder Shitou and Erya were hesitant to speak when they entered the station. It was probably because of the situation at the regiment headquarters at the moment.
Fortunately, although Kong Jie could not judge what happened, Shitou and Erya said that the second battalion commander was waiting for him at the regiment headquarters. At that time, Kong Jie felt that something was wrong.
With Shen Quan's temperament, if he knew that he had seized the equipment and came back, wouldn't he be the first to run over and get the money?
So Kong Jie was cautious, and his previous conversation with Li Yunlong outside the courtyard was quite reserved.
At this moment, Kong Jie was secretly thankful.
The brigade commander adjusted his glasses again and looked at Kong Jie much softer than when he looked at Li Yunlong.
"Kong Jie, tell me, what's going on?"
"Yes!" Kong Jie straightened his steps, responded, and said: "Report to the brigade commander, aren't we just waiting for the Chinese New Year? Lao Li and I are thinking about going to pay New Year's greetings to the Japanese.
You guys are so generous. After we paid New Year's greetings to people, they gave us a lot of equipment and supplies. Then Lao Li and I took these equipments and supplies back, and that's it."
The brigade commander smiled and said: "Listening to Li Yunlong's tone earlier, he got a lot of equipment, right?"
The equipment is placed outside. The brigade commander must have arranged sentries outside the yard. It is impossible to hide it now.
Kong Jie honestly explained: "I made a small fortune. The stubborn 251st Regiment secretly surrendered to the Japs, just in time for us to destroy it. After wiping out the Japs squadron, I also handed over the weapons of the 251st Regiment and captured the 251st Regiment." The equipment and ammunition of the entire May 1st Regiment, as well as the supplies they have hoarded."
"They were all brought back by horse-drawn carriages. There were more than 2,000 guns, as well as seven or eight artillery pieces and a dozen heavy machine guns."
After the honest man Kong Jie finished speaking, the leaders could not help but stand up from the kang.
"So you two are really rich? Let's go and have a look!"
The brigade commander and his party walked out of the inner room and arrived at the courtyard. As expected, they saw the team led by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, who had transported back a large amount of equipment and supplies.
The brigade commander, political commissar and the others suddenly had smiles on their faces.
No matter how hard these two bastards Kong Jie and Li Yunlong tried, the results were before their eyes. They came back with the results, won the battle, and brought back a large amount of supplies and equipment. This is their ability.
As a combat group under the 386th Brigade, this is a shameful matter for the brigade commander.
Kong Jie replied very wisely: "Report to the brigade commander, according to your instructions, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment jointly fought this time and eliminated nearly 200 Japanese squadrons. In addition, they captured 25 stubborn soldiers who were preparing to surrender. A regiment of firearms."
"This mission was successfully completed, please give instructions from the brigade commander!"
Li Yunlong also quickly came to his senses, straightened his steps, and saluted the brigade commander: "Yes, please give instructions to the old brigade commander!"
"Hmm!"
The brigade commander nodded, secretly glanced at the deputy commander on the side, and acted as if he knew the matter well.
In my heart, I praised the two bastards Kong Jie and Li Yunlong for their quick reactions and almost revealing their secrets.
In front of the deputy commander-in-chief, the brigade commander is an enlarged version of Li Yunlong. This is no joke.
The brigade commander with a straight face nodded and said seriously: "The two regiment commanders, comrades, did a good job. As for the new instructions, one-third of the current weapons and equipment are left. You two regiments equip the team, and the rest
, when I leave, you send a transport team to follow me to the brigade headquarters."
"Oh, by the way, don't worry about the artillery. In addition, each of your two regiments can keep two heavy machine guns. I think that's enough."
Li Yunlong: "..."
Kong Jie: "..."
This is good. In the blink of an eye, Li Yunlong was originally doing part-time work for Kong Jie, but now the two of them were completely doing part-time work for the brigade commander.
After the miserable duo agreed bravely, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
The brigade commander said happily: "Why, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, seeing that you two are acting like this, you seem a little reluctant?"
Kong Jie said: "I am not reluctant to report to the brigade commander. If you didn't come, brigade commander, I would also prepare to send these equipment to the brigade headquarters for you."
"After the Battle of Shota, the Japanese pressed hard on our base area, not only militarily but also economically.
I know the difficulties of our headquarters. If we fight on the front line, the captured equipment can help the headquarters solve problems and help. Neither Lao Li nor I can say anything about this, it is what it should be."
The brigade commander nodded and looked at Li Yunlong with a smile: "Li Yunlong, do you think so too?"
"Report to the brigade commander, that's necessary!" Li Yunlong straightened his body and replied quickly.
The brigade commander then smiled and said, "Okay, you two are celebrating the New Year, so stop pretending. Don't you feel tired? I feel tired just looking at you."
"I know you are feeling aggrieved. It was not easy to seize the equipment, but in the end you have to let it go. But you have to bear the grievance."
"No matter how capable your two regiments are, how effective can they be with just two to three thousand troops?"
"This equipment and ammunition must be used rationally by the troops in order to exert their maximum combat effectiveness. I hope you also understand this."
"Of course, when I say this, I don't mean that you won't be allowed to develop and equip yourself."
"Strengthening your own team, that's what you should do."
"Our Eighth Route Army also needs sharp-edged troops like your independent regiment, the New Second Regiment, including the New First Regiment, and even build our own ace troops of the Eighth Route Army."
"Let you strengthen your troops and develop equipment. The leaders and I don't care too much about the specifics. What we want to see are the results. What we want to see are the results. In the various battles in the future, you, those of us in our eyes, The combat effectiveness that the sharp knife troops can show."
"In counter-mopping up, as the tip of the knife, you should be the first to tear open the gap!"
"When attacking, as the tip of the knife, you should be the first to break through the enemy's defense!"
"Use the sharp edge of the knife to crush all enemies. Your existence is to make the enemies tremble!"
"Kong Jie, and Li Yunlong, I hope that the army you want to build is such a sharp-sword army."
"Can it be done?"
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!" Kong Jie and Li Yunlong responded in unison.
After the formal topic was finished, it was time to talk about family matters, and the stern-faced brigadier smiled again.
"Kong Jie, we are waiting for a treat from you, the landlord, when we come here this time. Why, just let us wait like this?"
Kong Jie said hurriedly: "Please wait a moment, leaders. I will let the cooking team arrange it. Shen Quan, what are you doing here? Hurry up."
"Yes!"
In this way, the Independent Group had a lively New Year's Day. It started in the morning and continued to be lively until the evening. It was almost dark, and the brigade commander and his party left the Independent Group with satisfaction.
Of course, leaving with them were the transportation teams sent by Kong Jie to deliver equipment and supplies to the brigade commander.
On the high slope at the entrance of the camp, the cold wind blew people's hearts to the core.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie stood on the high slope, waving goodbye to the brigade commander and his party.
Why do I often have tears in the corners of my eyes?
It’s because the equipment that was finally captured was so helpless to say goodbye to!
Li Yunlong bid farewell to the brigade commander with an old face: "Okay, Lao Kong, we were arguing about equipment earlier, but now it's over. In the end, we all worked part-time for the brigade commander."
Kong Jie scolded: "Old Li, don't be dissatisfied. You have 30% of the equipment and I have 70% of the equipment. After sending the equipment to the brigade commander, my losses are much greater than yours."
This is the truth. Li Yunlong suddenly felt that his heart was balanced, and it seemed that he was not in so much pain. He even couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Old Kong, you have a lot of money. If you don't give the equipment to the brigade commander, I will get it from you." 70% of the time?"
Kong Jie said: "It's a beautiful idea. We brothers fight together, so we naturally have to bear the risks together."
"Old Li, don't think about the cunning method. If it weren't for this batch of equipment, it would be based on what you said in the yard before, the pot at the brigade headquarters, and the brigade commander's pot. Ma, I’m afraid I’ll miss you again, brother.”
Li Yunlong: "..."
The two old comrades joked for a while, and Kong Jie finally bid farewell to Li Yunlong.
Before leaving, Li Yunlong rejoiced at his previous choice and said: "Old Kong, we agreed that we should have a good meal. This time it was bloody unlucky, and we happened to hit the muzzle of the brigade commander's gun.
There’s nothing we can do.”
"Next we have to look for opportunities to make a few good deals and make up for the losses this time."
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lao Li, after I have collected enough information, we can take action at any time."
Li Yunlong smiled with satisfaction and continued: "Also, this time we made a big fuss about the 251st Regiment, destroyed the Japanese squadron, and also ruined the Japanese's good plan to integrate the 251st Regiment.
I can’t keep the news secret for too long. This little devil holds a grudge. I’m worried that there will be any subsequent military operations against your independent regiment. You have to be careful.”
Kong Jie said: "Lao Li, don't worry. Now the transportation channel from your New Second Regiment to our independent regiment has been built. If the Japs really dare to take the initiative to fight, our three regiments will have to fight together again, and let the dogs
The little devil from Japan never comes back."
"Well said!"
Li Yunlong laughed and said goodbye to Kong Jie, leading the team to gradually disappear under the twilight Cangshan Mountain in the distance before the night came.
……
And as time goes by.
The news that the 251st Regiment secretly surrendered to the Japanese, only to be destroyed midway by the Eighth Route Army's surprise troops, spread far and wide and caused quite a stir.
First, it was Taiyuan City. The Japanese officers who learned about this were furious.
The purpose of incorporating the 251st Regiment and taking the opportunity to suppress the enthusiasm of the national army in the war of resistance was completely destroyed due to repeated interference by the Eighth Route Army.
As a result, not only did they fail to integrate the 251st Regiment, but the Japanese army also lost a lot of manpower.
The former head of the Taiyuan City secret service, Takeda Eijiro, and his successor, Toshi Tatoshi, his deputy, both died at the hands of the Eighth Route Army.
Not long ago, the Japanese army launched a large-scale counterattack with rapid force to deal with the robbery, and defeated more than a dozen national troops in a row. Their arrogance did not have time to last long, and it fell into decline.
In addition, in the Jinnan Kuomintang-controlled area, the "Anti-Japanese National News" of Jinnan Newspaper also published how the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment suddenly appeared in the 251st Regiment and quickly defeated the Japanese squadron.
Prevented the communication of the 251st Regiment from taking the rebel path.
After that, Yu Ming and other reporters from the Jinnan Newspaper reported an interview with Kong Jie, the leader of the independent group.
The photos with Kong Jie taken by Yu Ming at that time were not revealed. On this point, Yu Ming, who promised Kong Jie, did what he said.
In this report, Yu Ming mainly published what Kong Jie said during the interview.
Rumors that the Eighth Route Army wandered around without attacking, passively resisted Japan, and harassed the people, with the help of Ming Zhan’s objective analysis and reporting, and Kong Jie’s shocking words at the time, caused quite a stir.
The people in the Kuomintang-controlled areas were almost blinded by the rumors about the Kuomintang army, and their original judgments were somewhat shaken.
Jinnan Newspaper.
Since meeting and interviewing Kong Jie, Yu Ming, a young and enthusiastic reporter, has shown quite a fanaticism towards Kong Jie.
"Commander Kong has a very unique charm. Such an Eighth Route Army general is admirable!"
"Later we found out that the Eighth Route Army had less than 600 people. In the blink of an eye, not only the Japanese squadron was wiped out, but the entire 251st Regiment was forced to disarm."
"With such a great reputation, I have heard of Commander Kong for a long time. It is truly a worthwhile trip to meet Commander Kong in the 251st Regiment."
……
"Wenyue, haven't you always wanted to interview the generals of the Eighth Route Army? Commander Kong is definitely the best interview candidate."
As Yu Ming said to Kong Jie, Shen Wenyue and he were colleagues at Jinnan Newspaper. Not only that, as outstanding young people in the newspaper, and because of their names, the two even had a relationship with Jinnan Newspaper, "Mingyue".
"Double Star" reputation.
"Wenyue, do you want to see a photo of Commander Kong? Do you want to see what Commander Kong looks like?"
For more than half a year, the name of Kong Jie, leader of the independent group, has often appeared in the public eye, and Shen Wenyue is also very interested in Kong Jie.
"Why, you took a photo of Commander Kong?"
"Of course!"
"Isn't it? Didn't you say that the war was urgent at that time, and you didn't take photos of Commander Kong and the others?" Shen Wenyue asked doubtfully.
Yu Ming lowered his voice and said: "You don't know this. This is a secret agreement between Commander Kong and I. Commander Kong often beats up the Japs, and the little Japs have always wanted to get photos of Commander Kong. Okay.
Used to post rewards. How could I leak Commander Kong’s photo? Wouldn’t this harm Commander Kong?”
"Then you still want to show me?"
"Of course, you are different from others. I can trust you, but after you read it, you have to keep it secret with me."
"It's a deal!"
"That's good!"
Yu Ming then found time to develop the photo he took in a teahouse and showed it to Shen Wenyue.
Kong Jie, holding a ghost-head sword in one hand, majestic and independent on the battlefield, just appears in the photo.
"How about it? Captain Kong is handsome, isn't he? Look at this photo, he has a bloody look on his body. This is the iron-blooded aura that only soldiers can have!" Yu Ming, who was standing by, was full of admiration.
Shen Wenyue smiled and said: "I didn't notice the iron-blooded spirit, but Commander Kong looked at it and felt a sense of affinity."
"A sense of intimacy?"
"Yes, it feels very real, with flesh and blood, which makes people want to get close to each other. After seeing the photos, I am looking forward to it. I hope that one day, I can really interview Commander Kong!"...<
