In a small mountain village of the Eighth Route Army, Li Yunlong, who had been relieved of his duties as regimental commander, was complaining to Ding Weiwei, who had come to take over his post.
"Damn it, I worked hard for a year and finally brought out the new group, but in the end, your kid got a ready meal. Is there any way to do this?"
Unlike Li Yunlong, who has a big head and dark skin and looks like a country farmer, Ding Wei has a Chinese character face and thick eyebrows, but Li Yunlong, who is familiar with him, knows that this kid is also a man who doesn't want to fight when he hears a gunshot.
A fateful guy.
When there is a war, he is happy, but when there is no war, he is thinking about getting into trouble. He is not afraid of anything and everything. When fighting, he bites the enemy and will not let go, and he will tear off a piece of meat if he cannot swallow it.
And Ding Wei is not a rough guy. He finished junior high school before joining the Red Army. He was considered a big intellectual among the Red Army at that time. According to convention, this kind of person should engage in political work, but Ding Wei just likes fighting.
, his boldness is comparable to that of Li Yunlong, who was born as a bamboo craftsman.
At this moment, Ding Wei was smiling and feeling particularly comfortable. He patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder and comforted him: "Old Li, don't complain. Who told you to retreat immediately without obeying the headquarters' order?
The Sakata United team had a fight, are you dumbfounded now?"
Li Yunlong's eyes widened: "How could you take over such a wealthy Xinyi Tuan without me?"
"This is true, it is indeed beyond my expectation."
Ding Wei has no objections to this at all. When he first took over the army today, he was shocked by the wealth of the new regiment.
Although there were only over a thousand people in the new regiment at this time, everyone had guns, light and heavy machine guns, and there were quite a few of them. There were even four mortars, and there were an astonishing number of artillery shells.
He pointed out that in his opinion, it could be organized into an artillery battery. Even in the 386th Brigade, such equipment was the only one owned by Scorpions.
He asked curiously: "Old Li, I'm not surprised that you can get the Japanese Type 38 rifles, light and heavy machine guns. After all, you, Old Li, are famous for robbing things. But those two American-made 60mm mortars
What happened to the cannon? Don’t tell me that it was captured. Little devils don’t have that kind of stuff.”
Li Yunlong laughed and said proudly: "Don't you know this? I, Old Li, saved someone else. In order to thank me for giving it to me, that guy even gave me a hundred rounds of cannonballs."
"Are you okay?"
Ding Wei sneered and said, "Don't think I don't know. I've asked about everything. That day, I led a team to support you. Not only did I take down the Japs' headquarters, but I also killed Sakata, an old Japs.
Finally, he was surrounded by Japanese soldiers on the hillside.
If you kid had dared to leave at that time, even I would look down on you."
"Hey... you, Old Ding, still understand me." Li Yunlong sighed as if seeing a close friend:
"Do you think I could just walk away in that situation? In the end, I personally led the brothers of the New Regiment to rescue him. In the end, he not only gave me more than two hundred 38-guns and two 9-guns.
Type II heavy machine gun, six crooked handles, more than 12,000 rounds of ammunition, two American-made mortars and 100 rounds of artillery shells, do you think this deal is worth it?"
"It's worth...it's worth it!" Ding Wei nodded without hesitation.
"And I have also inquired about it in the past few days. That guy's name is Gao Hongming. He is a big landowner in Liantai County. He and Yan Laoxi are exactly the same fellow countrymen. They are already rich. You may not know it. At that time, I saw
The equipment of his militiamen made my eyes turn red when I saw them, and if it weren't for the fact that they helped me, I would have wanted to rob them."
Seeing Li Yunlong's regretful look, Ding Wei couldn't help laughing.
"Old Li, now that you have this friendship, you can move around more often in the future. He is so rich, and just a little bit of it leaking out from between his fingers will be enough for you."
Li Yunlong snorted softly: "You're just walking around. Now I'm just the director of a quilt factory. No matter how much you give me, I can't use it. But the day before yesterday, I asked my guard Shi Zhanbo to give him two bottles of Fenjiu as a thank you.
Be polite."
Ding Wei nodded secretly. This Li Yunlong also had a rough and tactful character. Although these two bottles of Fenjiu were not worth a few bucks, his lover still had to receive them. As the saying goes, sending a goose feather gift from a thousand miles away is not appreciated.
Heavy, that's what I mean.
He comforted: "Okay, you go to the quilt factory for a while and treat it as a holiday. Even I, who was preparing to go to Yan'an Anti-Japanese University to study, have been called back. It can be imagined that the army now lacks military personnel.
To what extent a cadre has reached, I bet that it will not take more than three months at most before your old officer, Mr. Li, can be reinstated."
Li Yunlong hummed and stopped talking. The two of them walked and talked while the soldiers of the new regiment silently lined up in two rows to bid farewell to their old regiment leader.
After reaching the entrance of the village, Ding Wei suddenly shouted: "All the new regiments are here, salute the old regiment leader!"
"brush!"
All the surrounding soldiers saluted Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong returned the greeting and walked out of the village in silence. When they reached the entrance of the village, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves. Ding Wei had sharp eyes. After taking a closer look, he smiled and said: "Oh... that's not you.
The security guard is back so soon?"
Soon, Shi Zhanbo rode up to the crowd on horseback. He had a dusty look on his back and carried a huge military backpack on his back. He jumped off his horse and saluted Li Yunlong: "Captain...I'm back."
Li Yunlong nodded and looked him over: "Just come back. Why are you carrying a bag on your back?"
When asked about this, Shi Zhanbo immediately became excited: "Captain, this is a gift from Commander Gao. There are a lot of good things in it."
Ding Wei on the side interjected: "Oh... what a good thing, open it and let me see it."
As soon as Shi Zhanbo's words came out, Li Yunlong regretted it. He actually forgot that Ding Wei was also there. But the words had already been spoken and he couldn't regret it. He could only bite the bullet and said: "Then open it and take a look."
Shi Zhanbo took off the baggage from behind and unzipped it.
When everyone saw it, even Ding Wei couldn't help but exclaimed: "Good guy, there are really a lot of good things."
Shi Zhanbo took out the things and said: "Captain Gao gave me twenty canned meats, ten cartons of American cigarettes, five boxes of sulfa powder, two boxes of penicillin, some biscuits and a kind of candy called gram.
There are so many things that I can’t even remember them.”
"penicillin?"
Li Yunlong and Ding Wei looked at each other, and their expressions changed a little.
Shi Zhanbo may not be aware of the value of these two drugs, but as group leaders, they know it best. Penicillin, in particular, is worth as much as gold and can be called a life-saving drug.
"Send someone immediately to deliver these boxes of medicine to the headquarters. They must be handed over to the head of the headquarters in person!" Ding Wei gave the order without hesitation.
