I really came here to fight against Japan

"This rapid response brigade will become the fist force of our Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.

It is a unit directly under the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and is usually managed by your brigade commander."

This confused the brigade commander, who quickly asked, "Commander, how do I manage this?"

Teacher: “This is a dual management method, which can be described simply.

He can come to your house at mealtimes, and help you farm during the slack season.

But if I ask him to do something, you, the Taiyue Military Region, must release him."

At this moment, the brigade chief already felt that his brain was not enough.

"Hey, Commander, this is like I've been raising this stupid kid for eighteen years.

My wife is about to give birth today, and her biological parents came to see her.

Even my eldest grandson and my stupid son have been given to someone else. Haven't I worked for nothing for the past 18 years?"

"Hahahaha...", a burst of laughter broke out in the conference room.

Li Yunlong listened for a long time but did not hear anything about his appointment.

When everyone stopped laughing, he mustered up the courage to ask the teacher.

"Commander, I've been hearing so much explosions these past two days that my ears aren't working very well anymore.

Did you just say who will be the commander of the First Rapid Response Brigade? "

"Li Yunlong, I just thought you didn't take this brigade commander seriously.

I was thinking that if you really don’t care, I’ll consider someone else for the position of the commander of the Rapid Reaction Brigade.”

"I care, I care, I care."

At this moment, Li Yunlong's face was full of smiles.

Commander: "Li Yunlong, since you have performed very well recently, the division is going to give you some responsibilities.

Comrade Li Yunlong, the former commander of the New 1st Regiment, has now been promoted to the position of brigade commander of the 1st Rapid Reaction Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, Li Yunlong is appointed concurrently as the director of the base area clothing factory, with a term of office... just half a month."

This made Old Li completely dumbfounded. He didn't know what the leaders were thinking.

Why was he asked to do embroidery with a group of female comrades? Li Yunlong expressed his incomprehension.

At this time, the deputy commander's face turned dark, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Li Yunlong, I haven't come to you to settle the score for your lateness in the battle of Cang Yun Ridge. Do you want us to talk about it?"

In the end, Li Yunlong was persuaded by the brigade commander to go to the clothing factory.

The head of the brigade said that there are many female comrades there. If you find someone you like, I will act as a matchmaker for you.

It is said that when Li Yunlong later came to power, he blamed their brigade chief.

"There are no young lesbians there. They are all married. If I fall in love with them, I will be shot."

In fact, it was Song Wenwan's idea to set up the Eighth Route Army's rapid response brigade and send Li Yunlong to the clothing factory.

Song Wenwan has a relatively deep understanding of Li Yunlong.

This guy is a warmonger. Trying to tie him down by building a base may not have any good effect.

Maybe he could become a hands-off boss in the end, leaving all the work to Zhao Gang.

Maybe some people are born for war, like Li Yunlong.

Song Wenwan believes that the current Eighth Route Army needs a purely combat force.

Even if they cannot mechanize, they should try to use mules and horses as much as possible.

Use them to do some quick work and specifically beat the Japanese in various battles.

Just like the battle of Cangyunling this time, if there was such a force, the retreat of the division would not have been so embarrassing.

Perhaps Li Yunlong's troops had already taken away the Sakata Regiment and the 4th Mixed Brigade in one wave.

This was also one of the reasons why Song Wenwan rushed to northwest Shanxi in a hurry.

It was to snatch the position of brigade commander for Li Yunlong.

A commander in this position does not need to understand any powerful strategic thinking.

What is needed is an excellent tactician like Li Yunlong, who has a sharp eye and is ruthless in fighting.

As for strategic matters, the brigade commander, division commander, and headquarters will naturally take care of them, and Li Yunlong will not be needed.

Given Li Yunlong's current strength, his ability cannot be summarized by simply saying "defeated the Sakata Regiment."

Now if Political Commissar Zhao Gang wasn't here, there would still be Xing Zhiguo to look after him.

Li Yunlong really dared to lead his men to the city of Taiyuan, fired two cannons at the city gate tower, and "say hello" to Shinozuka Yoshio before leaving.

If you say whether he will really besiege Taiyuan, then you don’t know him well enough.

He is a hot-headed person, but he is not stupid.

Use a main force of about 10,000 people to attack the Japanese invaders' base in Shanxi?

If Li Yunlong dared to fight such a decisive battle without approval, Zhao Gang would be able to stop him.

It was also Song Wenwan's bad idea to let Li Yunlong become the director of the clothing factory.

Isn’t it true that every time Li Yunlong wins a battle, something unexpected happens?

Then punish Li Yunlong in advance and let his anger fade away, so he will calm down in advance.

If there is still some anger that cannot be vented, you can take it out on the Japanese next time you meet them.

After the war, all troops returned to their new bases, and Li Yunlong also went to the clothing factory.

On the Eighth Route Army side, the post-war summary meeting had already ended.

However, the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was in trouble.

The Eighth Route Army fought hard against the Japanese invaders for forty-eight hours, and you, the powerful Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, just stood by and watched?

Now, Cangyun Ridge has gathered 20,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army, who are riding on the momentum of a great victory.

The key is that they have artillery power that far exceeds that of the 358th Regiment.

I remember that the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army once personally shot and killed a division commander of the Nationalist Army who did not come to his rescue.

I heard that the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army is on Cangyun Ridge.

I'm just a small group leader, and they'll come to hold me accountable.

If he plays another "soldier first, soldier later" game, his own death will be in vain.

I really regret it. I wish I had helped them secretly at that time.

Even if we sent a box of grenades to the Eighth Route Army, they wouldn't be so panicked now.

Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army ignored them and withdrew after two days.

Only then did Chu Yunfei dare to send Fang Ligong, and returned to Kenanpo with the report he wrote.

He still had to stay here. After all, there were more than 10,000 Japanese corpses on the Cangyun Ancient Road, waiting for the Japanese body collection team.

In less than three days, all the Japanese troops that invaded the revolutionary base returned to their original bases.

This time, the Japanese lost an entire mixed brigade just in Cangyunling.

The destroyed 4th Mixed Brigade was Yoshio Shinozuka's direct troops, and his strength was severely damaged.

In order to appease the Japanese under his command, he sent a brigade of the Imperial Army, flying a white flag, to the Cangyun Ancient Road to collect the bodies.

Almost all the bodies of the Japanese soldiers were there, except for that of Brigadier General Suzuki.

The Eighth Route Army left a letter and the body was sent to Kenanpo and would be transported to the temporary capital soon.

Then the senior advisor of the Second War Zone met with Yoshio Shinozuka's secret envoy.

The final result of the negotiations was that the temporary capital recognized the Eighth Route Army's achievements in completely annihilating the 4th Mixed Brigade.

The Eighth Route Army handed over the body of Brigadier General Suzuki to the Second War Zone for disposal.

The Second War Zone returned Suzuki's body to Yoshio Shinozuka.

The matter came to an end only after Yoshio Shinozuka paid a ransom of 10,000 oceans and released the captured personnel that the temporary capital had specifically requested to be returned.
