Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

"Brigade commander, political commissar, chief of staff." Li Yunlong had a fawning look on his face, looking like a typical lackey.

Zeng Jiwen looked at Li Yunlong and smiled immediately, but suddenly he thought of something and his face became a little gloomy.

"Li Yunlong, I heard that you have been living a very comfortable life recently!" he said with a smile.

"No, no, Brigadier."

"Old Li has had a hard time. The Japanese chased me all over the mountain like a rabbit. I am still alive today because of your blessing~"

"No, please don't, I don't need you to nag me every day!"

"If you hadn't been cutting the Japanese army's telephone lines every day, would I have been so angry with you?" Zeng Jiwen waved his hands quickly.

"Slander, this is slander, Brigade Commander. Old Li is a good boy over there. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west." Li Yunlong suddenly became anxious, thinking that someone must have reported him.

"Stop talking nonsense. How does the Japanese sake taste?"

"It doesn't taste very good~" Li Yunlong answered subconsciously.

"No, Brigade Commander, how could I have that thing? If I did, I would definitely present it to you, the Brigade Commander, first!" Li Yunlong reacted and his head shrank immediately. He thought, damn it, I was caught drinking by the Brigade Commander again.

"Stop talking nonsense to me. I don't know you yet. No one has been bothering you this month, so you've been living a carefree life." Zeng Jiwen immediately picked up the horsewhip and pressed it against Li Yunlong, his face ashen.

"How many times have I told you that drinking is prohibited during wartime? You ignored my words, didn't you?" Zeng Jiwen's eyes widened in anger and he shouted loudly.

"It's bad enough that he drank alone, but he dragged the entire battalion with him. If something happens, the battalion won't even know it's been taken over."

"Your own troops are right under the noses of the Japanese army. I think you have been complacent for too long." Zeng Jiwen's tone became more and more severe.

"Commander, Commander, I was wrong."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you, I won't do it again, Brigade Commander!" Li Yunlong panicked, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Brigade Commander, I promise I will never make such a mistake again." Li Yunlong said sincerely.

Zeng Jiwen looked at Li Yunlong, his anger gradually dissipating. This morning, a soldier from the reconnaissance battalion returned from the north after scouting the enemy. Last night, when passing by the Third Battalion, he temporarily sneaked into the Third Battalion headquarters. His entry was unusually smooth, but he found several people drinking and chatting together. They didn't say anything, but they came back and told Zeng Jiwen this morning.

When Zeng Jiwen heard the news, he immediately thought of the independent regiment headquarters being attacked a few years later in the original time and space. He did not expect to discover the same scene in his own troops today. Fortunately, the Japanese army has not had such an idea yet. If the Japanese army had launched a sneak attack, the losses would have been great.

However, Zeng Jiwen couldn't say much at the moment. He could only strengthen his troops' defense against surprise attacks by small forces, and give him a warning at the same time, so as to prevent him from getting too arrogant and suffering a big loss.

"Okay, I hope you can do what you say. I'll let you go this time, but it won't happen again. If there's a next time, you'll have to come to the brigade headquarters to light the fire and cook for me." Zeng Jiwen said seriously.

Li Yunlong nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would definitely remember and never make the same mistake again. Zeng Jiwen looked at him and shook his head. He said that for the cadres below, this kind of lifestyle issue shouldn't be dealt with too seriously unless it's a minor one. He could only alert them and give them more warnings.

"And you, Zhong Zhicheng, as a political instructor, this is how you manage the troops." After saying that, Zeng Jiwen turned around and aimed his firepower at Zhong Zhicheng.

Zhong Zhicheng was so frightened that he dared not breathe and quickly stood at attention to admit his mistake. Zeng Jiwen didn't know what to say, so he had to ask the two of them to write a self-criticism and submit it to the Political Department, including the two deputies.

After the scolding, Li Yunlong didn't dare to joke with Zeng Jiwen anymore. He slowly approached Zeng Jiwen and spoke humbly.

"Brigade Commander, I'm wrong, okay?"

"Please don't be angry, old man. It's not good for your health."
