Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

May you be happy and prosperous?!

When Li Yunlong heard these four words coming out of the brigade commander's mouth, he felt like he was struck by lightning. He stood there with a chill on his back.

"Hey, Commander, what kind of congratulations on your prosperity is this?"

"Our...our independent regiment has been divided up now, and there is only one guard company at our regiment headquarters."

"Those bastards took away all the good food and drinks in the group before they left..."

"They even took away a lot of weapons and equipment, and said that as long as they were protecting the regiment headquarters, I, the regiment commander, could take a vacation..."

"Commander, please give me some advice. This... this..."

Li Yunlong pretended to be heartbroken and argued.

But in the eyes of the brigade commander, Li Yunlong's little trick was full of loopholes and was obviously a trick to fool him.

Even if others don’t know, how could the brigade commander not know?

In the independent regiment, Li Yunlong has the final say and no commander at any level dares to challenge him.

Besides, Li Yunlong is notoriously stingy. Wanting him to spit out the fat meat he has eaten is more painful than stealing his wife.

Not to mention that when the troops were divided, food and guns were also distributed. Even if he just took away a bottle of wine, Li Yunlong would scold him to death.

The headquarters asked each unit to split up so that they could develop on their own after they dispersed, rather than using the regiment's weapons and equipment to develop their own power.

When it comes to self-sufficiency, Li Yunlong is an expert at it, and the brigade commander has full confidence in Li Yunlong's abilities.

As Li Yunlong's subordinate, it goes without saying that even if he does not have all of Li Yunlong's abilities, he has some of them.

Go out and fight guerrilla warfare, set ambushes, and guard the enemy's supply lines. Although I can't say I'm rich, my life is pretty comfortable.

Li Yunlong was fine at deceiving others, but deceiving the brigade commander? He was still too young.

"Li Yunlong!! Stand at attention! Stand still!"

"Who is smiling at you? Huh?!"

"Save these lies for your future wife!"

"I came all the way here just to listen to your nonsense?!"

The brigade commander stared at Li Yunlong with a smile for a while, then suddenly his expression became serious. He swung the whip with his big hand, and it hit the head of the kang with a bang, which scared Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

"Li Yunlong! Are you going to explain the problem yourself, or do you want me to tell you in person?!"

"If you confess yourself, I won't hold you responsible. But if you ask me to tell you? Humph, I will report it to the headquarters and hold you accountable for the crime of privately withholding revolutionary weapons!"

"This is embezzlement! This is corruption! This is a work style issue!"

"Think it over carefully, kid!"

The brigade commander angrily rebuked that Li Yunlong was obviously pretending to be ignorant in order to get away with it.

But even if he fooled the brigade commander away, the headquarters had a list, and when they compared the numbers, they would find that the numbers didn't match, so who else could they look for but Li Yunlong.

This is not a matter of one or two guns. If it were just one or two guns, the brigade commander would have plugged the hole himself without asking any questions.

But this is the weapons and equipment of a regiment, and there are 20 75mm mountain cannons.

I have to say that Li Yunlong is a very courageous guy. After winning a great victory with Lin Tian and others, he became so arrogant that he lost his mind.

It's just what Mr. Lao said, as soon as this brat does something meritorious, he'll be in trouble right away.

If this matter were leaked by someone with ulterior motives, Li Yunlong would be charged with a serious crime.

Dismissal and investigation are light punishments. If things go wrong, you may end up in jail. Corruption is a serious crime.

As Li Yunlong's leader, the brigade commander must not let his subordinates make such a mistake.

"Hehe... this... Brigade Commander, I don't have anything..."

Li Yunlong was still struggling to his death. Not only had he wiped out a number of Japanese troops that were several times larger than his own in this battle, he also seized so many weapons and equipment, which he handed over to the headquarters, leaving only one battalion's worth of equipment for his own use.

Aren't these just 20 mountain cannons? He can just return them after the next battle, and he can pay the interest by then.

"Old Li! Why don't you understand yet?!" Zhao Gang couldn't bear to watch the show any longer, so he immediately gave Li Yunlong a nudge.

He is the political commissar of the independent regiment. If the regiment commander makes a mistake, it means that he, as the political commissar, has not performed his duties conscientiously, and he is also responsible.

Zhao Gang naturally understood the pros and cons of this, which was why he urged Li Yunlong again and again.

Since the brigade commander has come in person today, it means that this matter cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise there may be trouble.

"Brigade Commander, let me tell you, Lao Li secretly seized the weapons and equipment of an entire regiment and 20 75mm mountain cannons made in Jin."

"We are short of vehicles. Today we sent someone to a nearby village to borrow a vehicle and were going to send it to the brigade headquarters tomorrow. I didn't expect you, the brigade commander, to come today..."

After Zhao Gang confessed, he immediately started to make amends. Although this was an excuse Li Yunlong used to fool him, the excuse was still quite reasonable. After all, he was also fooled by this excuse at that time.

Another thing is that Li Yunlong is his partner, so he has to protect him. He can't just watch Li Yunlong get punished...

Just hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately became anxious, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the brigade commander.

"Li Yunlong, look at you!"

"You are so obsessed with just 20 mountain cannons that you don't even care about basic discipline?"

"If you're a man, don't let others take the blame for you. Speak for yourself!"

"And you, Zhao Gang! I asked you to be the political commissar of the independent regiment to control the stubborn Li Yunlong, not to let you be a good guy. You must be brave enough to point out the mistakes of some of our comrades and never tolerate them!"

When the brigade commander heard what Zhao Gang said, his expression relaxed. Then he stared at Li Yunlong with a smile and gave Zhao Gang a lecture.

"Yes! Brigadier!"

Zhao Gang saluted.

"Brigade...Brigade Commander, hehe, why don't I send him back..."

"Oh, we were planning to form a reinforcement battalion for the artillery battalion, but... it's all ruined again."

"Alas, on one side, the higher-ranking official is crushing people to death, and on the other side, someone is reporting on me..."

Li Yunlong saw that he couldn't pretend any longer, so he confessed reluctantly, and then muttered a few words.

"Li Yunlong, you are really too proud. You want to form an artillery battalion or a reinforced battalion for an independent regiment?"

"Then do I need to form an artillery regiment to reinforce my brigade?"

"I won't ask you for the weapons and equipment of that regiment. After all, you have made great contributions this time, so I will treat it as a reward for you. But you must hand over those 20 75mm mountain cannons!"

"Also, don't try to be too aggressive, Zhao Gang is doing that for your own good. Do you think the headquarters doesn't know about your situation?"

"If the headquarters didn't know, would I have made this long trip?"

The brigade commander was tired after talking for a long time, his mouth was dry, he glanced around and saw the bottle of wine with only two sips left that Li Yunlong had hidden on the kang, he picked it up and drank it all, then gave a lecture.
