After all, the Independent Regiment was not brought out by Li Yunlong himself. Li Yunlong was a little unsure about the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Deputy commanders Kong Jie and Zhang Dabiao still haven't heard from them, and the enemy situation in Wanjia Town is complicated, so Li Yunlong is still a little worried.
Faced with Zhao Gang's questioning, Li Yunlong still wanted to play tricks on others, hoping to wait until Kong Jie and others had definite information before discussing the matter with Zhao Gang.
But Zhao Gang was a person who kept his eyes open, and he insisted on asking where Kong Jie, Zhang Dabiao and the First Battalion had gone.
Li Yunlong said helplessly: "A cavalry battalion of the puppet army has arrived in Wanjia Town. I sent Kong Jie and Zhang Dabiao to snatch the equipment of the cavalry battalion."
Zhao Gang became anxious when he heard this. He said: "Wanjia Town is close to Zhengtai Road and very close to Ping'an County. It is really dangerous. Besides, mobilizing a battalion of troops without telling the superiors would be dangerous.
The problem is too serious. If something goes wrong, the superiors will definitely hold them accountable."
Li Yunlong was unhappy and said, "What's going on? I did it. If you want to make a report, just go and do it wherever you fall in love."
When Zhao Gang saw Li Yunlong's attitude, he couldn't help but feel angry. However, he had a deep sense of self-cultivation after all. He suppressed his anger and said: "Captain, quarreling can't solve the problem. Can't you just say it well if you have something to say?"
Li Yunlong said: "Have you heard of Xinyi Tuan?
Zhao Gang said: "I heard that you, Lao Li, led the new regiment to defeat the Bantian Alliance and killed the captain of the Bantian Alliance. All our troops in the division know this."
Li Yunlong said: "When the New Regiment was first established, there were less than ten light machine guns and not a single Type 92 heavy machine gun. The rifles were all made in Hanyang with old sleeves. In this way, two people could not share a gun.
.I went to the brigade commander to ask for it, what do you think the brigade commander said?"
Zhao Gang had been working in an agency before and didn't know much about the field troops. He asked curiously: "What did he say?"
Li Yunlong said: "The brigade commander said, go, go, go, Li Yunlong, stop bothering me with such nonsense. If you want a gun or not, but if you want a life, how many guns can I replace with my head? Just cut it off and replace it."
If you, Li Yunlong, don't have the ability to get weapons, why would I want you to be the leader? Just go home and take care of your children.
This is what I was waiting for, so within a year, the new regiment had everything, including Type 92 heavy machine guns, crooked machine guns, mortars and Type 92 infantry guns. The entire regiment had a Hanyang-made or 38
rifle. If you don't have the confidence and want to go head-to-head with the Sakata Alliance, just dream about it.
How is it? I said the political commissar, do you understand now?"
This Zhao Gang is also a passionate young man, and his blood boils when he hears Li Yunlong's words.
He said thoughtfully: "I seem to understand. Leader, I had a bad attitude just now, and I apologize to you.
But, Commander, I am the political commissar of the independent regiment after all. For something as big as a combat operation, I don’t know, this is not good, is it? Can we discuss anything in the future? "
Li Yunlong saw that Zhao Gang had become enlightened, and his attitude softened. He said, "Okay, okay, we have something to discuss later."
This morning, Kong Jie, Zhang Dabiao and the officers and soldiers of the first battalion finally returned.
In the conference room of the regiment headquarters, cadres above the independent regiment and company gathered together, waiting to announce the results of the victory.
Kong Jie handed a statistical report to Zhao Gang. Zhao Gang glanced at it and read excitedly: "
This time, we conducted a surprise attack on Wanjia Town, annihilating a puppet cavalry battalion, killing, wounding, and capturing 352 enemy soldiers. One of our soldiers was killed and 3 wounded."
Such a great victory was achieved at such a small cost, which had never happened before in the division's war history. The cadres burst into warm applause.
Zhao Gang was also very happy and applauded along with the cadres. After the applause stopped, he continued to read: "We captured 429 war horses, 1 Type 92 heavy machine gun, 2 60mm mortars, 2 crooked machine guns, Czech style
6 light machine guns, 430 lances, 16 shell guns, 1 tortoise box, 430 sabers, 56 mortar shells, 68,000 rounds of various bullets, three telescopes, 14 watches, and several other supplies."
"Wow, wow, wow" the conference room burst into warm applause again.
The capture in this battle was the largest since the establishment of the Independent Regiment. Such a great result was achieved at such a small cost. For the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment who had just lost the battle, they all felt proud.
The cadres applauded excitedly, their hands turned red, and the applause lasted for a long time.
Li Yunlong had only been in the Independent Regiment for a short time, and he fought such a good battle. He felt very satisfied and smiled proudly.
Kong Jie personally led the team to fight such a beautiful battle, and the anger he had been holding back came out, and he felt very happy.
Zhao Gang had just arrived at the Independent Regiment, so he was naturally smiling from ear to ear at such a victory.
Next, Kong Jie will tell the story of this battle.
Kong Jie recounted the battle process in which Xu Dalong and others disguised themselves to scout the enemy's situation, how the regiment leader made decisions, how the troops marched, Xu Dalong and others disguised themselves to enter Wanjia Town to destroy the puppet cavalry battalion command structure, and how the first battalion launched a surprise attack.
The whole battle process was very exciting. Everyone listened with gusto and burst into warm applause again.
Kong Jie did not cover up the contributions of Xu Dalong and others. He said: "In this battle, Xu Dalong and others played a vital role. I suggest that the Youth League Party Committee commend them."
Xu Dalong gave Li Yun a face, and Li Yunlong said proudly: "That boy Xu Dalong is very capable, so I specially brought him here from the new group, haha!"
Zhao Gang also developed a good impression of Xu Dalong, whom he had not yet met. He asked with concern: "Xu Dalong and the others haven't come back yet. Is there any danger?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Political Commissar Zhao, don't worry. That boy Xu Dalong is very capable. The Japanese and traitors can't do anything to him."
At this moment, Wang Xiaohu shouted excitedly from outside: "Commander, Platoon Leader Xu and the others are back."
Upon hearing the news, Li Yunlong and others went out to greet him in person.
Soon after, Zhao Gang took the list of materials seized by Xu Dalong and others and read with a smile: "We found 16,500 yuan, 35 large yellow croakers, 83 small yellow croakers, gold and silver jewelry worth 23,000 yuan, a Czech light machine gun, and 22 rifles.
"
At the end of the sentence, Zhao Gang couldn't help but laugh. The political commissar is in charge of logistics. He, the political commissar, has to worry about all the food, drinks, and toilets for the thousands of people in the regiment. Now that there are so many gains, he, the political commissar, is just fine.
Too much.
Li Yunlong said: "I knew that Xu Dalong was capable. Do you understand now? Why should I set up a special service platoon in our independent regiment? It is to let Xu Dalong go out to get us money, guns, and supplies. Now Xu Dalong's special service
He is the only one in the platoon. When you go to each battalion and company to select people, you can't hide them, and you can't stop whoever you like."
Today's independent gang food standards have improved a lot, and now everyone knows where the money comes from.
In this battle in Wanjia Town, Xu Dalong's performance also impressed everyone. The battalion company commanders all expressed that they would obey the decision of the regiment party committee and let Xu Dalong select the best cadres and soldiers.
Li Yunlong knew that after the battle in Wanjia Town, his prestige in independence had been completely established.
He said happily: "I just did the math and found that a total of 21 watches were seized in this battle. Each of our cadres above the company and regiment will be given one. We will give it to everyone now."
When the cadres heard this, they were so happy that they opened their mouths from ear to ear and burst into warm applause again.
After the cadre meeting, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, and Kong Jie listened to Xu Dalong's report alone.
Zhao Gang asked with some worry: "Xu Dalong, these materials you seized did not violate mass discipline, right?"
Xu Dalong said: "Report to the political commissar that these money and materials are Japanese puppet assets. They were found from the homes of the Wanjia Suppression and Puppet Support Chairman, Vice Chairman, and Taxation Director. What they plundered were people's money. All of them were
Ill-gotten gains.”
Zhao Gang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. At all times, we must keep in mind the discipline of our army."
Xu Dalong said: "Yes, political commissar, I remember it."
Next, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and other regiment leaders discussed the adjustment of the army's establishment, and Xu Dalong withdrew.
When they arrived in the yard, Wang Xiaohu came up to him and said happily: "Brother Dalong, you are so powerful. Next time you fight, please take me with you."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "No problem, my special service platoon is recruiting people. If you are willing, you can come to the special service platoon."
Wang Xiaohu said expectantly: "Okay, I have wanted to leave the army several times, but the regiment commander has not agreed. This time, please help me and I will go to your special service platoon."
At this moment, Monk Wei walked out of the room.
Wang Xiaohu said provocatively to him: "Monk Wei, don't you always brag about how powerful your martial arts is? If you have the ability, you can have a fight with Brother Dalong. I won't beat you to pieces."
