Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Zeng Jiwen was so angry when he heard Li Yunlong's words that he laughed. He suddenly said, "Really? I was in touch with Division Commander Rong a few days ago. Division Commander Rong was very jealous of you and asked me to transfer you and the Second and Third Battalions to his defense zone."

When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately became anxious, "No, no, my great brigade commander, I still think our brigade is pretty good."

Li Yunlong thought to himself, what a fool! How could he have forgotten the green glow in the eyes of Commander Rong when he was staring at him last time?

Previously, in the Pingshan and Lingshou areas, Li Yunlong led the second and third battalions to often fight against the Japanese ambushes together with the brother units in the Quyang and Fuping areas.

Later, because of the weapons configuration and number of people in the battalion, it became famous among the brother troops over there, and once it was caught in an ambush with the brother troops by Commander Rong.

Commander Rong held his hand and didn't want to let go, and kept inviting Li Yunlong to visit his headquarters.

When Li Yunlong saw the situation, he knew that the matter was serious, so he immediately found a lame excuse to run back and never went there again.

At the same time, he asked the second battalion commander Shen Quan and the third battalion commander Wang Huaibao to lead a battalion to develop local armed forces there, while he took the newly formed fourth battalion to the Yuanshi area.

As a result, when they arrived in Yuanshi, they met Lao Long from the 121st Regiment again. The two of them decided that Long Zhenwen's 121st Regiment would be in Yuanshi, while he would take the 4th Battalion to Zhao County. The two groups of troops supported and cooperated with each other, and forced the Japanese guards in the two counties to not dare to leave the city.

Finally, seeing that there was no more money left, the 121st Regiment fled to Gaoyi Ningjin area, and our own troops fled to Xinji area in addition to Zhaoxian.

So when Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately murmured in his heart that Lao Long was not doing things in a decent way, and he was afraid that the brigade commander had already known that he was in Zhao County.

"Why are you still talking nonsense to me? Go pack up quickly and go to the regiment headquarters later. I need to know the specific situation of your New 1st Regiment in the past six months. This time, your regiment needs to have a big operation. If you can't do it, then you will go to the brigade headquarters' kitchen and take the blame for me." Zeng Jiwen didn't give Li Yunlong a chance to explain and told him to get out and pack up.

After washing up and having breakfast with the soldiers, Zeng Jiwen and Wang Zhuo went to the regiment headquarters.

At this time, Li Yunlong and others in the regiment were waiting for Zeng Jiwen with trepidation. Seeing Zeng Jiwen and the chief of staff enter, Li Yunlong quickly approached Zeng Jiwen and said flatteringly, "Brigade Commander, Brigade Commander, does our New 1st Regiment have any combat missions?"

"Brigade Commander, why don't you just send a telegram to assign the mission to our New 1st Regiment? Why did you come here in person? This makes it impossible for me to pick you up in person!"

Zeng Jiwen laughed after hearing Li Yunlong's words. He sneered, "Haha, you're even sending a telegram! If I hadn't come, I'm afraid some people would have been so proud of themselves that they wouldn't even know it."

When Li Yunlong heard this, he was so frightened that he smiled awkwardly and dared not speak. He quickly looked at the chief of staff for help, which made Wang Zhuo laugh and cry.

Zeng Jiwen didn't say much when he saw Li Yunlong like this. After all, in the early stages of developing the troops, one cannot be too harsh on the subordinates. One has to consider the actual situation. He just needs to give troublemakers like Li Yunlong a warning occasionally to prevent them from causing any big trouble.

After finishing, Zeng Jiwen looked at Zhong Zhicheng and said, "You are the political commissar. Tell me how the New 1st Regiment has been doing in the past six months. Don't try to fool me. If this operation fails, Li Yunlong will take the blame in the kitchen, and you, the political commissar, will cook."

Hearing Zeng Jiwen's words, Zhong Zhicheng quickly pretended not to notice Li Yunlong's glances at him. He said to Zeng Jiwen and Wang Zhuo in a serious tone, "Brigade Commander, Chief of Staff, our New 2st Regiment currently has a total strength of approximately 4 people. We have a total of five main battalions, each with a full strength of 621 people, one artillery company equipped with two 82mm mortars, four 70mm Type 2 infantry guns, two 120mm light mortars, and the remaining 10 82mm mortars, which are generally only issued to the battalions in wartime. In addition, there is a guard company."
