Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

It took a lot of time to move thousands of guns. In the end, the regiment commander and the political commissar joined the moving team, and Lin Qiang and the other man also took the initiative to become free laborers.

How could he not take the initiative? The regimental commander and the political commissar took action, and he, the platoon leader, must have been so clueless to just watch from the sidelines.

After all the weapons were moved, several people sat on the rocks in the yard and listened to Lin Qiang's detailed description of the team's current development.

Lin Qiang said everything he needed to say, but he also concealed some things, such as the arsenal and farmland.

At this moment, a woman suddenly appeared, holding a kettle in one hand and a few earthen bowls in the other. She walked over and said, "Commissar, I'm here to bring you tea."

Seeing this man, Lin Qiang looked at Li Yunlong again and immediately smiled.

The person who came was none other than Li Yunlong’s lover, Xiuqin!

Women of this era all have a sense of simplicity and a smile on their faces. No wonder even Li Yunlong fell into the arms of her gentleness.

Political Commissar Zhao Gang stood up and responded, "Thank you, Comrade Xiuqin!"

Xiuqin is now the head of the Women's Rescue Association, so naturally she calls her comrade.

After putting down the kettle and bowl, Xiuqin glanced at the regiment commander Li Yunlong and turned away.

If this person's status was closer to that of the team leader, Lin Qiang would have said a few words to make it clearer.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiuqin is interested in the team leader. How could Li Yunlong, who is such a smart man, not see it?

I'm just afraid of delaying Comrade Xiuqin.

Once on the battlefield, no one can predict what will happen. No matter how powerful Li Yunlong is, he will die if hit by a bullet in the head.

The monk poured a bowl of water for the men. Zhao Gang took a sip and asked, "Lin Qiang, how many soldiers are there in your platoon now?"

Lin Qiang didn't have time to answer this question, but Li Yunlong beat him to the punch: "This guy was able to get so many weapons, he probably has 300 to 500 soldiers now!"

On this issue, Zhao Gang held the opposite view. He believed that the main reason why Lin Qiang sent this batch of weapons was because there were not many people in the first platoon and they could not be used at all.

Of course, he also thought of another possibility, but Zhao Gang himself didn't believe it.

Lin Qiang would definitely not report the military strength truthfully. A platoon has thousands of people, which is really beyond ordinary people's expectations.

He followed Li Yunlong's words and replied, "It's similar to what the commander thought. Currently, there are more than 270 people in the first platoon."

"Impressive!"

At the beginning, the team developed in companies and platoons. When he left the regiment headquarters, he was clear about the general situation of each platoon. He was able to develop nearly 300 people in such a short time, and use these more than 200 people to bring back such a large number of weapons from Dagu Town, and even seize the Japanese trucks. This deserves Zhao Gang's thumbs up.

Unlike Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong said calmly, "You're no better than the third platoon leader of the second battalion. They've already got mortars and wrote to me, saying that if we encounter the Sakata Regiment, we can wipe them out with just artillery shells."

"Someday you can get me two of the Japanese infantry guns. That's what real skill looks like. Then you can show off your skills."

These words seem to be comparing Lin Qiang with others, but in fact, Li Yunlong is telling Lin Qiang not to be too arrogant because of this achievement.

In fact, even without Li Yunlong's advice, Lin Qiang never dared to overestimate himself. This time he came to the regiment headquarters in person for a more important plan, which was to learn from Li Yunlong about commanding operations, deploying bases and other knowledge.

There is an old saying that goes, "Live long and learn long."

The key point is to use Li Yunlong to strengthen the overall defense of Heiyun Village to prevent the Japanese from making desperate moves and launching a large-scale attack on the base.

For the next two days, apart from eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping, Lin Qiang was talking about military affairs with Li Yunlong.

On the morning of the third day, Lin Qiang no longer had any questions about the defense of the base. He knew exactly what was needed for defense, so he drove away from the regiment headquarters with the monk early in the morning.

Watching the truck go away, Li Yunlong sighed unwillingly: "Alas, it's a pity that the monk refused to follow me!"

Zhao Gang smiled when he heard this: "It seems that your name Li Yunlong is no longer useful!"

Before Li Yunlong could refute, the signalman hurried out and said, "Commander, the brigade commander called."

broken!

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang exchanged a glance, and the former said to the signalman, "Just say I'm not here!"

It's easy to tell why the brigade commander called at this time.

The brigade commander was very clear about the dispersed development of the independent regiment. He would not issue combat orders to the independent regiment before the team was assembled. The purpose of this call was obvious.

The signalman did not leave. Instead, he stood there and replied, "The brigade commander said that if you don't answer the phone in person, he will leave for the regimental headquarters immediately."

Now I have to answer it even if I don’t want to.

At least it’s better than the brigade commander coming to the regiment headquarters in person.

Li Yunlong walked into the room with a gloomy face, picked up the receiver on the table and said, "Brigade Commander, this is Li Yunlong. Are you looking for me?"

"Li Yunlong, stop talking nonsense to me!"

On the other end of the line, the brigade commander's tone wasn't particularly friendly. He said, "You're quite courageous, aren't you? Huh? You actually dared to use me as a shield! Damn it, in the entire 386th Brigade, you, Li Yunlong, are the first one who dared to let me take the blame for him!"

Regardless of whether what the brigade commander said was true or false, Li Yunlong had to act anyway and responded: "Brigade commander, you misunderstood me. How dare I let you take the blame for me!"

This aggrieved tone and expression made Zhao Gang, who was standing at the door, want to laugh but didn't dare to.

"Misunderstood you?"

After cursing for a few times, the brigade commander's tone softened considerably: "Tell me, when have I ever misunderstood you, Li Yunlong?"

"Misunderstood you? The leader of the Jinsui Army in the Second War Zone called me!"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong dared not play innocent anymore and said honestly: "Brigade Commander, please calm down. Anger is harmful to your health!"

Zhao Gang finally couldn't help it, turned around and ran outside laughing.

"Li Yunlong, I know the situation of the Independent Regiment, but you can't attack our friendly forces!"

Now that the equipment has been put into the regiment's warehouse, Li Yunlong is destined to bear the blame: "Brigade Commander, I can't just stand by and watch those bastards take their weapons and surrender to the enemy and become traitors!"

If you were to ask who the commander of the 386th Brigade treats best, it would definitely be Li Yunlong: "Don't say I didn't take care of you. I took the blame for you!"

Knowing he wouldn't be punished, Li Yunlong grinned and said, "Brigade Commander, thank you!"

"Hey, don't thank me so quickly!"

These words gave Li Yunlong a bad feeling, and his right eyelid twitched very fast at this moment.

"You kid, you won't let me take the blame and do things for you for nothing, right?"

In order to avoid being robbed, Li Yunlong pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "Brigade Commander, what are you talking about? Can I ask you to do something for me?"

"Hahaha! Li Yunlong, ah Li Yunlong, you are playing dumb in front of me!"

The brigade commander's hearty laughter echoed through the phone, and he said in a tone that brooked no refusal: "I'm telling you, there's no point in playing dumb. No matter what benefits you've gained this time, give half to the brigade headquarters!"

"Don't cry poor to me. Do you think I don't know how your independent regiment has developed now?"
