Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang drank it all in one gulp and laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, Old Zhao, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is pretty nice. In the past, they all called Commander Yan "Old Man Yan", which is really a disrespect!"

"I didn't expect that this time they sent a chief of staff to personally deliver supplies to us. Oh, Old Li has finally had a taste of being a rich landlord these days!"

Li Yunlong filled a glass of wine and laughed.

"Hey, Lao Li, Chief of Staff Guo is here to ask for Yi County this time, right?"

"The reason why the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is so polite to us is because Commander Lin saved them this time and demonstrated his great strength."

"Commander Yan is grateful for one thing, but more importantly, we have won their respect with our strength!"

"Think about it, our Eighth Route Army fought many battles in the past with his Second War Zone."

"It's just a piece of commendation at best. Won't they still look down on us in the end?"

Zhao Gang drank a glass of wine and said.

"That's right. If Lin Tian wasn't so powerful, would the Shanxi Suiyuan Army be able to sit down and talk to us politely? Would they be able to bring us a few carts of food? You're flattering me!"

"In the past, they would have ordered us to withdraw. If we didn't withdraw, they might have even attacked us!"

"However, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army only sent food and expressed gratitude this time, without mentioning the return of Yi County!"

"I think their chief of staff is no ordinary person. In fact, everyone knows it in their hearts!"

"We know why they are here, and they also know that we know why they are here!"

"This time, even if I'm polite first, next time I'll have to speak up. If we can't come to an agreement, I'll have to resort to retreat!"

Li Yunlong said with his eyes narrowed, analyzing the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's intentions clearly.

"Well, no matter what, we must resolutely carry out the orders from headquarters. If they come again next time, you can ask for too much!"

"If they ask who asked us to name the price, we'll bring up Commander Lin. I don't believe he dares to do anything wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong gave a thumbs up: "Hahaha, Lao Zhao is safe, you are amazing!"

Zhao Gang thought of what Lin Tian had said before, and couldn't help but admire Lin Tian even more.

I didn’t expect that Lin Tian had anticipated this.

When the time comes, Lin Tian’s name will be brought up and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will have to sit down and talk obediently.

By then, you can gain a lot of benefits for the team.

There was no way. The Eighth Route Army was poor. The Central Army said nice things, but they didn't support it at all. From the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan to now, they only distributed some weapons symbolically a few times.

The weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army were basically captured from the Japanese.

We don’t have guns or cannons because the enemy makes them for us.

In this way, we have grown into a team of more than 40 people in just a few years.

One anti-Japanese base after another was opened up behind enemy lines.

The Japanese were suffering terribly from our harassment, which greatly slowed down their attack speed.

"Regiment leader! Political commissar!"

"Chief of Staff Guo of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is here again, and with him comes Commander Fu!"

Just as Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were drinking and chatting, Zhang Dabiao came running to report.

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other, put on their hats and went out to greet them.

Zhang Dabiao quickly asked the guard at the door to clean up the office. It would be embarrassing if guests from the Shanxi Suiyuan Army came in.

"Commander Fu, Chief of Staff Guo, we are sorry for not welcoming you from afar, we are sorry for not welcoming you from afar!"

"I have prepared a small banquet, please give me some favors, sirs!"

Li Yunlong saw from a distance two senior generals in exquisite military uniforms walking in under the escort of a company.

More than a dozen trucks of supplies were pulled behind them.

Although Li Yunlong was not impressed by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, he would not hit someone who smiled at him.

I am the head of a regiment, and he is both the commander and the chief of staff, several levels higher than me. He also brought gifts, so I have to at least put on a show.

"Hahaha, this must be Captain Li, Captain Li's name is quite famous in our Second War Zone!"

"Under such a disadvantage, he was able to lead his troops to defeat the Sakata regiment head-on and break out of the encirclement. It's incredible!"

"And during the Japanese raid this time, I heard that the Japanese Yamamoto Special Forces attacked your headquarters, but were wiped out by Captain Li and his men!"

"After seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed a fierce general!"

When Commander Fu saw Li Yunlong, he immediately laughed and shook Li Yunlong's hand.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that a mere regiment commander like me would be cared for by someone like Commander Fu!"

"Old Li will have something to brag about in the future!"

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang next to him and laughed.

After that, they saluted each other and exchanged some pleasantries, and then Li Yunlong led them into the reception room.

Inside the hall, the kitchen staff had already prepared a banquet.

During this period, the independent regiment's living standards were good, and this meal could be said to be quite rich compared to the previous meals.

There were four plates of cold dishes and four plates of meat, including chicken, duck, fish, and mutton. Even the brigade commander could not enjoy such a sumptuous banquet when he came to the independent regiment. He was lucky to have a bowl of noodles.

They ate and chatted in a very harmonious atmosphere. If you didn't know, you would really think they were a family.

In fact, both parties have their own thoughts, but no one is willing to speak first.

Especially Commander Fu and Guo Dan, they had no appetite at all. They were in high positions and had eaten all kinds of delicacies.

Li Yunlong's banquet was not to their liking at all.

Take Chief of Staff Guo Dan for example. He usually spends thousands of dollars on a drinking spree.

They didn't come here to eat, they just spoke first and were controlled by others, which made them lose...

But Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are not in a hurry. They are in Yi County and are not going anywhere. They don’t have much daily affairs to deal with.

Commander Fu and Chief of Staff Guo Dan had to finish their work early and rush back. The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had suffered heavy losses in this battle, and they had to take care of many things. They could not waste too much time in Yi County.

"Captain Li, to be honest, I came here to discuss something with you!"

Finally, Commander Fu spoke. Although he said he had something to discuss, his aura as a superior did not seem like he was discussing something.

"Hahaha, Commander Fu, if you have anything to say, just let me know! We are all friendly forces!"

"It is my great honor to be able to help Commander Fu, Li Yunlong, hahahaha!"

Li Yunlong had just put down his wine glass when he heard the words and laughed out loud, thinking that the other party finally couldn't hold it back anymore.

Although Li Yunlong usually looks like a rough guy, he is actually very smart, otherwise he wouldn't be the favorite of General Lao.

Whether you will help or not, please make it clear in a nice way first.

Sure enough, when Zhao Gang, who was standing by, heard what Li Yunlong said, he couldn't help but grin and gave a thumbs up in his heart.

I thought to myself, this guy Lao Li really does things flawlessly...
