Bright Sword: Conquer the monk at the beginning and take down Zhou Weiguo

Just when the Second Combat Battalion returned with a full load, Li Yunlong was dealing with Zhao Gang in a rather depressed mood.

"Captain Li, do you dare to say with all your heart that every soldier in the regiment is at the regimental headquarters?"

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong with a frown and shouted sternly.

Hearing this, a trace of guilt flashed across Li Yunlong's eyes, which were as big as lanterns.

He is now afraid of Zhao Gang, the scholar.

If it comes to a real fight, Li Yunlong is not afraid of anyone, but he just can't talk.

"Commissar, if there's any movement in the regiment, how can I not tell you?"

"Look at you, you're interrogating me like a Japanese soldier right now. I'm innocent!"

After saying this, Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong steadily.

This guy is really stubborn. He won't cry until he sees the coffin!

Thinking of this, Zhao Gang sighed and said earnestly: "Old Li, I'm not a fool!"

"The entire Second Battalion disappeared without a trace, even Kong Jie and Qin Cang are nowhere to be found. Do you really think I can't see it?"

Seeing that Zhao Gang had laid out the evidence in front of him, Li Yunlong simply stopped pretending to be aggrieved and acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

"Political Commissar Zhao, I did ask Kong Jie to take Qin Cang and the brothers from the Second Battalion out. What's going on?"

Hearing this, Zhao Gang's expression paused, as if he didn't expect Li Yunlong to play such a rogue trick on him.

After a brief thought, he asked sharply, "Did you go to Wangjiaying?"

As soon as he heard the three words "Wangjiaying", a look of panic flashed across Li Yunlong's face.

I didn't expect that scholars have such sharp brains that they can guess what I said without me even saying anything.

"Yes! We're going to Wangjiaying!"

"Political Commissar Zhao, you also heard it when I interrogated the Japanese signalman. Wangjiaying is one of the Japanese strongholds for transferring supplies, and it's only 20 to 30 kilometers away from the regiment headquarters. This is a major hidden danger!"

"Not to mention, neither you nor I know what the devils are planning!"

Seeing Li Yunlong admit it himself, Zhao Gang was immediately furious: "Li Yunlong! Do you still respect me, the political commissar?"

"Sending troops to attack Wangjiaying is a military action!"

"And we haven't even gotten permission from our superiors. This is acting on our own!"

"Don't you know that military orders are as heavy as a mountain? Have you forgotten why you were transferred to the garment factory in the first place?"

After yelling at Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang still felt furious.

There was such a big operation in the regiment, but I, as the political commissar, was completely unaware of it. Are there any rules or disciplines here?

On the other hand, Li Yunlong was already annoyed by Zhao Gang to the point of his brain exploding, and now he was being brought up on the same old accusations and being taught a lesson.

Do you really think that you can shit on your own head just because you are the political commissar?

For a moment, Li Yunlong also got angry.

"Zhao Gang, don't f*cking think you can control me just by studying for a few more days!"

"When I was killing Japs on the battlefield, you couldn't even control your bladder!"

"I sent troops to attack Wangjiaying. I acted on my own. What can you do about it?"

"If something really goes wrong, I, Li Yunlong, will handle it alone!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gang's anger reached its peak.

However, the remaining trace of rationality kept telling him that if he continued like this, not only would there be no results, but even the relationship between the two, which had finally eased, would return to its original state.

"call!"

After taking a deep breath, Zhao Gang forced himself to calm down, thought for a moment, and spoke in a low voice.

"Old Li, it's not that I blame you, it's not that I don't understand your thoughts."

"On the contrary, we don't understand the situation in Wangjiaying at all, and we don't know the enemy's troop deployment at all."

"As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle. Acting rashly will only lead to great losses!"

After saying this, Zhao Gang paused briefly and then continued.

"Old Li, whether in combat or in other aspects, I, Zhao Gang, am nothing but a cucumber in front of you."

"However, if our independent regiment suffers losses from the Japanese again, there will be no way to wash away the shame, and the morale of the soldiers will be difficult to boost!"

As Zhao Gang's voice fell, Li Yunlong blinked.

He admitted that what Zhao Gang said made sense, and he also knew the significance of this action against Wangjiaying.

But it is something that must be done.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong restrained his temper and said slowly: "Old Zhao, I understand your thoughts. You are also considering the independent regiment. However, do you really understand the inside story?"

Zhao Gang was really stumped by what he said.

Seeing Zhao Gang remained silent, Li Yunlong smiled slightly and asked, "Have you heard of the New 1st Regiment?"

Hearing this, Zhao Gang nodded immediately.

“How could I not have heard of it!”

"You, Li Yunlong, led the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment to disobey military orders. Despite a huge disparity in equipment and manpower, you still bravely confronted the Japanese and even directly bombarded Sakata!"

"This kind of thing, not to mention our team, even the common people are talking about it with relish!"

After he finished speaking, Li Yunlong smiled, waved his hand, and a look of reminiscence appeared on his face.

"Then do you know what the new group was like at the beginning?"

"Take weapons and equipment for example. Forget the Type 38 rifle. Even a firewood stick is too hard to get for everyone!"

"For a team like this to go to the battlefield and kill the devils is simply to die!"

"What should we do if we don't have weapons? We can only go up there."

"But do you know what the brigade commander told me?"

"If I let the brigade handle everything, I, as the regiment commander, might as well go home and feed the pigs!"

"I understood immediately after hearing that. It meant I had to find a way to get the equipment!"

"What if we don't have enough equipment? The Japs do!"

"Do you think the higher-ups don't know what I'm thinking? They know it all! They just turn a blind eye!"

"Just like that, within a few months, the new regiment was fully equipped."

"Otherwise, would I have the confidence to fight the Sakata devil?"

Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang and shook his head helplessly: "But look at it, what's the difference between the current independent regiment and the original New 1st Regiment?"

"All the light machine guns put together are only as many as a handful. How can we defeat the Japanese with this kind of strength?"

As Li Yunlong finished speaking, Zhao Gang looked at him apologetically: "Old Li, I was too impatient just now."

"But after all, I'm a political commissar. If the higher-ups ask, I don't know anything. Do you think it would sound good if I told them?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong's eyes suddenly lit up.

It seems that Zhao Gang is not as conservative as he thought. This is a good sign!

"It's also my fault that I, Old Li, didn't think about it enough. I will never do that again!"

After these words were spoken, the two looked at each other and smiled.
