Kong Jie said angrily, "Is this what you need to do if you seized such a small amount of supplies?"

"Head, the supplies are more than that." The first battalion commander smiled and said, "The first platoon leader just sent someone over, and said that the harvest of the Wanjia compound is not small."

"Copied more than 5 yuan, not to mention the ocean,"

"Also seized 10,000+ catties of grain."

"Let's hurry and pack the horses."

"What?" Now Kong Jie felt even more distressed.

"Copied more than 5 cash and 10,000+ catties of grain? God!"

Kong Jie looked up to the sky and howled, why didn't you send down a thunderbolt to kill Li Yunlong?

Chapter 10 Doing a Side Job

Yang Village, the Independent Regiment Headquarters.

Li Yunlong was pacing in the yard with a cigarette between his hands.

"Salute!" Following the guard's command, Zhao Gang walked in angrily.

Zhao Gang is a workaholic. After the meeting with Li Yunlong and Kong Jie yesterday, he turned around and went to work, going to the battalions and platoons to familiarize himself with the situation.

It took more than two days to visit all the companies and platoons of the third battalion and the second battalion.

Today it was the turn of the first battalion, but when Zhao Gang rushed to the first battalion station, he found that the station was empty, and more than 300 commanders and fighters of the whole battalion below the battalion commander were gone.

Ask the guards who stayed behind, and they all say they don't know what's going on.

Zhao Gang had no choice but to go back to the regiment headquarters and ask Li Yunlong.

"Team leader." Zhao Gang walked up to Li Yunlong and stood still, "I have something to do with you."

Li Yunlong looked Zhao Gang up and down, and asked, "What instructions does Political Commissar Zhao have?"

Zhao Gang said: "I would like to ask the commander, is there any combat mission?"

Li Yunlong said: "A combat mission? No, can I not tell you if there is one?"

After speaking, Li Yunlong turned and walked away, but Zhao Gang chased after Li Yunlong relentlessly.

Then he asked: "Where did the battalion go? Also, deputy commander Kong and Xiao Wang are not here. I want to ask the commander what happened in the regiment? Why did you keep it from me?"

Li Yunlong smiled faintly, and said: "Look at my memory, I forgot about this matter."

After a pause, he said: "I'm sorry, big political commissar, that's how it is. I asked Deputy Commander Kong to take the first battalion to do some side work. Because of the shortage of manpower, I took Xiao Wang along. "

"But don't worry, I will definitely come back before it gets dark today."

"Side job?" Zhao Gang asked, "What side job? Please clarify."

Li Yunlong said: "A group of military horses came from Wanjia Town. I asked the first battalion to bring the horses back. It's as simple as that."

"Wanjia Town?" Zhao Gang's expression changed, and he said again, "The cavalry battalion of the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army?"

Li Yunlong was a little surprised: "You also know Wanjia Town?"

"Wanjia Town is next to Zhengtai Road, I just passed by there last week."

Zhao Gang said anxiously: "At that time, there was a county brigade covering me, and I was in danger just like that. The enemy situation there is very complicated, how could you..."

Li Yunlong got a little impatient, interrupted Zhao Gang and said: "Don't worry, my political commissar, hehe, those puppet troops are just for display, and those horses are simply given away for nothing."

"What a fine horse, it would be a waste in the hands of the puppet army."

"Regimental Commander, what kind of side business are you doing?" Zhao Gang was angry, and said with a dark face, "This is a combat operation! What right do you have to mobilize troops without authorization?"

"Ang, are you seriously violating discipline?"

Li Yunlong was also angry, staring and scolding: "Zhao Gang, don't stare at me. When I was fighting in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, you didn't know where you were."

"Let me tell you, I did it, what's the matter?"

"Are you going to make a small report to the division commander and brigade commander?"

"If you want to kill or cut, I, Li Yunlong, will bear it!"

Zhao Gang's anger was suppressed immediately.

Because he realized that quarreling with foolish people like Li Yunlong would not solve the problem, it would only make the situation more rigid, which was not the result he wanted to see.

Zhao Gang quickly calmed down and said, "Leader, let's all calm down and stop arguing. Arguing won't solve the problem."

"You are an old comrade. You have more experience in politics and military combat than me. I should learn from you. However, in this matter, what you did was really wrong."

Li Yunlong was a little surprised by Zhao Gang's reaction.

This white-faced scholar is not in a hurry?Didn't rush to report to the superior?

At that moment, Li Yunlong suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice, "Commander Zhao, have you heard of Xinyituan?"

"Of course I've heard of it." Zhao Gang said, "I heard from the comrades in the Political Department that you, Commander Li, commanded the Xinyi Regiment, defeated the Bantian Regiment from the front, and killed the leader of the Bantian Regiment. Know?"

"It's good that you know." Li Yunlong nodded and said again, "When I first took over the new regiment, the troops had not yet formed combat effectiveness, lacked training, lacked actual combat experience, and most importantly lacked weapons and equipment."

"There are less than ten light machine guns in the whole regiment, and not even one heavy machine gun."

"The rifle is an old slide, made in Hanyang, and the rifling has been worn out."

"That's it, neither of them can get a gun."

"I'll ask the brigade commander for it. Guess what the brigade commander said?"

"The brigade commander said, if you want a gun, you need a life."

"You, Li Yunlong, saw how many guns my head was worth, so you chopped it off and exchanged it for guns."

Zhao Gang imagined Li Yunlong's embarrassment at that time, and couldn't help asking: "Then what should you do?"

"That's what I said too." Li Yunlong said, "I said brigade commander, I am also the commander of the regular army after all, I can't even be inferior to the county brigade, right? Isn't this a sign of our division?"

"Guess what the brigade commander said? The brigade commander said, I have equipment, what do you want Li Yunlong to do?"

"Ang, since you are capable of being the head of the regiment, you should be capable of making guns, or else go home and pick up the children, and don't embarrass me here."

"Come on."

"That's what I've been waiting for."

"Let me get a gun? No problem."

"But you can't put a magic spell on me, can you?"

"You have to give me some autonomy, I can't let your brigadier take over everything."

"You want me to have a gun, and you want me to be a good boy, it's fucking unreasonable."

What Li Yunlong said was interesting, Zhao Gang couldn't help being amused, and asked, "What did the brigade commander say?"

Li Yunlong said: "The brigade commander said, go and find your own way, I don't care about anything, I don't ask anything, I warn you, Li Yunlong, don't bother me with these shitty things."

"That's it. In less than a year, Xinyituan has everything."

"Crooked handle, Type [-], grenades, mortars."

"The guy in your hand is good, but our waist is hard."

"Without this family background, how dare I go head-to-head with Sakata United? Just dream."

"In the past two days, Commissar Zhao, you went to the second and third battalions. You should know what is going on with the independent regiment."

"The current independent regiment is not much stronger than the new regiment I just took over. There are only nine light machine guns, not even one heavy machine gun, and only more than 500 rifles."

"The grenades and mortars are even invisible."

"And this bullet, each gun has less than ten rounds!"

"With such a small family background, a small-scale ambush can't afford it."

"If you don't have a side job, when will the independent regiment be able to form a fighting force?"

After a pause, Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang again: "Commander Zhao, do you understand now?"

"I seem to understand a little bit." Zhao Gang nodded, and then said, "Head, I was a little impatient just now, please forgive me, Ang, but if there is something to do in the future, can we discuss it first? You said it was such a big deal I don’t even know about it as a political commissar, so it’s not good, is it?”

"No problem." Li Yunlong said, "I have something to discuss."

As soon as the words fell, a horse hissed suddenly from outside the door.

Li Yunlong immediately lifted his spirits, and said: "I'm back, deputy head Kong and Xiao Wang are back! It looks like they should have made a fortune, let's go, let's go and see!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong turned around and ran out.

Zhao Gang was also looking forward to it, so he quickly followed.

The two had just rushed out of the gate when they saw a horse team heading towards the regiment headquarters.

More than a dozen half-grown children yelled, jumped, laughed and surrounded the front of the horse team.

Zhao Gang roughly estimated that this cavalry team had at least 300 horses, and the horses were carrying heavy wooden crates and sacks.

The war horses were almost unable to walk.

Furthermore, almost all the soldiers in the first battalion carried two guns on their backs.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong laughed out loud: "Hahaha, you've made a fortune!"

Zhao Gang was also a little excited, and he had a deeper understanding of what Li Yunlong said about "doing a side job". It seems that if the Eighth Route Army's armed forces want to become stronger, this side job is very important!

"Old Kong!" Li Yunlong saw Kong Jie in the crowd, and hurried forward to meet him.

"Old Kong, tell me quickly, how much benefit did our independent group get from this ticket?"

Kong Jie was in a bad mood, he cast a cold glance at Li Yunlong, and walked away.

"Deputy head Kong..." Zhao Gang still wanted to say hello, but was pulled away by Li Yunlong.

"Political Commissar Zhao, please ignore him, he is just a fool." Li Yunlong chuckled.

He knew why Kong Jie was unhappy, such a large sum of money had nothing to do with him, how could he be happy?

"First Battalion Commander? First Battalion Commander!" Li Yunlong called the first battalion commander Guan Dashan to him and said, "Quickly tell me, how much benefit did our independent regiment get from this vote?"

Guan Dashan was in a great mood.

"Leader, our independent group has made a fortune!"

Guan Dashan said excitedly: "This time we really got rich, with 360 two horses, nine imitation Czech light machine guns, 260 riding rifles, and 260 sabers. In addition to these, we also have 5 rounds of rifle ammunition and more than 10,000 yuan. Add [-]+ catties of wheat and millet to the ocean now! Leader, this year our independent group can have a truly fat year!"

Chapter 11: Gong Xi Fa Cai

"so much?"

Li Yunlong froze for a moment.

He expected that the harvest this time would not be small, but he did not expect that there would be so many.

In particular, more than 3 bullets, more than 5 oceans and 10,000+ catties of food were completely beyond his expectations. How could the cavalry battalion of the puppet army have so many supplies?

Zhao Gang was also extremely excited.

This is the first time that Zhao Gang has tasted the taste of "a bumper harvest on the battlefield".

Especially this time he is the political commissar, the second chief officer of the main regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

Guan Dashan lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "The head of the group, the political commissar, it's not just that, this time they also seized more than 100 gold bars, many jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings."

"Antique calligraphy and painting?" Zhao Gang quickly calmed down and said, "First Battalion Commander, have you violated discipline?"

"Nothing." Guan Dashan hurriedly said, "That's how it is. Wan Shunping, commander of the 8th Mixed Brigade Cavalry Battalion of the Puppet Army, is the son of Wan Shengkui, a big traitor in Wanjia Town, so we beat the rabbit and killed Wan Sheng. Kui also cleaned up, and the more than 5 cash, 10,000+ catties of grain, and antique calligraphy and paintings were all copied from Wanjia."

"That's the case." Zhao Gang said, "That's no problem."

After speaking, he said to Li Yunlong: "Commander, this time our regiment has gained so much, should we support the brigade headquarters, division headquarters, and some supplies at the headquarters? The higher-level departments are not rich."

"Stop messing with me." Li Yunlong waved his hand, "Why should the supplies seized by the independent regiment support the higher-level departments? If they are capable of being brigade commanders, division commanders, and commander-in-chief, they should be able to produce supplies. Zhao Gang, I warn You, the materials seized by our independent regiment this time are not allowed to be disclosed."

Zhao Gang was a little dazed, he didn't expect Li Yunlong to have such a big reaction.

He wanted to criticize Li Yunlong as selfishness, but he was afraid that the relationship that had just shown signs of easing would become stagnant again, so he could only hold back his criticisms.

Li Yunlong told Guan Dashan again: "Tell the brothers in the first battalion not to speak out."
