Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

At this moment, Yuejiagou.

At the headquarters of the Third Battalion, Li Yunlong was bragging to some old buddies from the Fourth Front Army.

Everyone sat around the table, shelling peanuts and taking a sip of wine from time to time.

If Zeng Jiwen saw this scene, he would probably have to deal with Li Yunlong again.

Li Yunlong was now arrogant and boastful. Kong Jie, Ding Wei, Cheng Kang and others beside him were filled with envy and hatred.

When they came over, the entire Third Battalion saw them, each one holding a brand new Type 38 rifle, with a row of bullets hanging from their bodies. One look at each person estimated to be the weight of a Japanese soldier, and the rubber-soled shoes on their feet weighed a full eight pounds. Looking at the equipment again, their eyes were almost blinded.

Wow, light machine guns are equipped for the squad, heavy machine guns are equipped for the platoon, and there are several mortars.

If it weren't for the uniforms, they would have thought it was the Japanese army.

"Old Li, you've made a fortune." Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong enviously while smoking a cigarette.

"You kid, I asked you to be on guard, but I didn't expect you to take down Nanling Station. You are so lucky." Ding Wei also looked envious.

"Hehe, that's right. Don't you see who I am? I got the chance and the meat is right in front of my mouth. I can't just stand there staring." Li Yunlong laughed.

Cheng Kang said from the side.

"Old Li, you didn't hand over all the equipment to the brigade headquarters. If they turn around and investigate, you'll be in big trouble."

"Hehe, what are you afraid of? If the superiors find out, I'll just say I distributed it to the soldiers. The brigade commander also said that he can give priority to satisfying his own troops."

"The brigade commander can't be unreasonable." Li Yunlong said with a stern face.

"Besides, I handed over all the spoils captured this time to the brigade headquarters. What do I have to be afraid of? Even if the emperor comes, I will be right." Li Yunlong said with his eyes wide open and a grin on his face.

"And Blind Cheng, you are not an honest man either. Why are you tinkering with this equipment here? Are you afraid that Old Li can't handle so much equipment? Why didn't the brigade commander come to rob, so why did you come?" Li Yunlong tilted his head and looked at Cheng Kang.

"Look at what you said, it sounds like I'm after your equipment, Li Yunlong." Cheng Kang looked at Li Yunlong embarrassedly.

"I'm not afraid of my old comrades being punished. Give us some of the equipment. If the higher-ups investigate and want to punish us, we'll be punished together. Wouldn't it be good to help you shoulder the pressure from the higher-ups?"

Cheng Kang looked at Li Yunlong and said with a smile.

Li Yunlong looked at Cheng Kang, then at Kong Jie and Ding Wei.

"Hey! I was wondering why you guys are here at this time today. Turns out you came to my place to fight the rich."

"No, not a single bullet, no way." Li Yunlong waved his hand and said loudly.

"Li Yunlong, don't be ungrateful. What's wrong with us helping you share some of the burden? It's like waiting for the brigade commander to come and beat you up to feed the horses. By then, I'm afraid that the Third Battalion will be taken over by Old Yang." Ding Wei said with a smile.

"Hehe." Yang Guilin smiled and said nothing.

"Okay, Lao Yang, I told you that you didn't object. You are waiting for me here. You look honest, but you are full of bad intentions." Li Yunlong cursed.

"If Lao Ding and Lao Kong came to ask for it, I, Old Li, could understand it, but why did you, Blind Cheng, come to join in the fun?" Li Yunlong said.

"Old Li has made a fortune this time. The brigade will definitely pay a portion to the headquarters, but the lion's share will definitely go to our brigade. It will be no problem for a regiment to fully equip a battalion."

"Blind Cheng, Lao Ding, Lao Kong, and the rest of the Third Battalion might not get the final share of equipment, but your First Battalion will definitely be given priority. And you're still trying to rob me. Humph!"

Li Yunlong kept talking to Cheng Kang, never repeating himself, and left Cheng Kang speechless.

After saying that, he turned around and confronted Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

"You, Old Kong and Old Ding, are not good people either. So, once the higher-ups distribute the supplies, not only will we replace your guns, we will definitely replenish your light and heavy machine guns, and we will also transfer the ammunition from other battalions to replenish your supplies."

"You two have finished eating at the brigade headquarters and now you come to rob me."

Deputy political instructor Qiu Jiayuan and deputy battalion commander Yang Guilin were stunned at this time. This guy was just a big talker, baring his teeth at everyone he caught. Today they had broadened their horizons and got to know Li Yunlong's name again.

"Hey, if you ask me, don't worry about it. I will still stick to it even if the brigade commander comes." Li Yunlong was as proud as a rooster that won a fight.

Bell~Ling~Ling~

Suddenly, the phone next to me rang.

Li Yunlong picked up the receiver and put it to his ear.

"Hello! I'm Li Yunlong!"

Suddenly, Li Yunlong felt a chill and heard the voice of the brigade commander coming from the microphone.

"Li Yunlong, congratulations on your fortune!" Zeng Jiwen said loudly.

"..."

"How can I get rich? I'm so poor that I have to pawn my pants~" Li Yunlong suddenly pulled a long face and looked very decadent.

"Stop talking nonsense. You should know why I called you. Send the artillery and horses to the brigade headquarters as soon as possible." Zeng Jiwen said loudly.

"No, no, absolutely not, Brigade Commander. You said before that the spoils can be used to satisfy your own troops first. Besides, haven't I handed over most of the weapons and equipment to you? Why are you still asking me for them? It's unfair." Li Yunlong shouted immediately after hearing what the Brigade Commander said, sounding as aggrieved as he could be.

"You're taking advantage of me, aren't you? I told you to equip your own troops first, but you just loaded everything on them? Why did you keep all those horses and mortars?"

"Hehe, brigade commander, I'm not afraid of being poor. I plan to set up an artillery company and a cavalry company." Li Yunlong said humbly to the person on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, Li Yunlong, your battalion has an entire cavalry company and an artillery company. Then my brigade should have a cavalry regiment and an artillery regiment, right?" Zeng Jiwen laughed out of anger after hearing what Li Yunlong said.

"That's right. With your reputation as a brigade commander, the entire cavalry division and artillery division are about the same." Li Yunlong said with a dry laugh.

"Stop talking nonsense and send the equipment over here quickly."

"What are you doing, Brigade Commander? Robbery! No, no~" Li Yunlong shook his head like a rattle.

"Okay, then let's talk about it. What is the order I give you?" Zeng Jiwen said with a smile on the phone.

"Guard the back mountain to prevent the Japanese from sneaking behind us." Li Yunlong said nervously, and a bad feeling suddenly came over him.

"Well, Li Yunlong, you changed the battle plan without permission, mobilized troops, and attacked Nanling Station. Tell me, what should we do?"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong was stunned.

"No, Commander, you told me to attack Nanling Station, and now you're denying it."

"When did I say that~"

"No, Brigade Commander, my brigade commander, the political commissar was also there at the time~" Li Yunlong jumped anxiously.

"The order the political commissar gave you was to guard the back mountain. I only told you to move freely in the back mountain when the opportunity arose. I didn't tell you to attack Nanling Station." The brigade commander's voice came from the phone, and Li Yunlong suddenly felt like crying.

"I'm giving you two options now. Either you report this to headquarters and they'll investigate you for disobeying orders and engaging in combat without authorization, or you deliver all the artillery, horses, and equipment to the brigade headquarters."

"How about my great Captain Li? I've just been appointed battalion commander, and my brigade is still short of a cook squad leader. Would you like to come and report?"

"Alas, a higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking official. Brigade commander, if you want to rob, just say so directly. Why go through so much trouble explaining things?" Li Yunlong said helplessly with a long face.

"Hahaha, if I didn't say that, you would be so arrogant if you could just come here obediently. You're not even afraid of dying of starvation. Can you afford to support a cavalry company?"

"I can afford it~ I can afford it~" Li Yunlong said with a licking face.

"The troops are not stable yet. Where can I get so much fodder to feed the horses? There are also headquarters and other brother troops. Stop giving me nonsense. Okay, hanging up." After saying that, Zeng Jiwen hung up the phone.

Suddenly, loud laughter from several leaders was heard in the command center.

At the same time, Li Yunlong, after answering the phone, sat on the bench with his hands in his pockets, looking depressed.

"Alas, this guy is so unlucky that even drinking cold water gets stuck in his teeth. My cavalry company and artillery company~" Li Yunlong wailed.

At this moment, Kong Jie and the others looked at each other in surprise.

Then, Ding Wei asked while eating melon seeds,

"Old Li, what are cavalry companies and artillery companies? You've even gotten yourself into that? When did that happen? When you get something good, you don't even think about us brothers. How come you're eating all the food for yourself?"

"That's right. After all, we are brothers in the same class. He eats alone and forgets about his brothers." Kong Jie agreed while smoking a cigarette.

After listening to the two people's conversation, Zhong Zhicheng laughed out loud.

"Lao Ding, Lao Kong, he didn't want to have it all to himself. I told him it wouldn't work, but Lao Li insisted on trying it. Now, he didn't get a single cannon." Zhong Zhicheng laughed even more happily after he finished speaking.

Then, Zhong Zhicheng explained the situation to several people. When they heard that Lao Li had still intercepted the two 150mm mortars in the camp, their expressions were as wonderful as they could be.

"You kid, you always eat more and take more. Now you've been robbed."

After Kong Jie finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
