I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 163: Congratulations on getting rich

Seeing the surprise in the eyes of the brigade commander, Li Yunlong's surprise instantly turned into shock.

The brigade commander said to him, "Li Yunlong, congratulations on your fortune!"

Li Yunlong thought to himself: My leader, why are you using the same trick again? Can't you use a different set of words?

Ever since Li Yunlong and Wu Changfeng became partners, he hasn't heard his leader say this to him for a long time.

Alas, it seems that I was careless today.

I'm afraid that showing off this time will only get me into trouble.

I don’t know how many Type 92 heavy machine guns I need to take out to satisfy my brigade commander!

"Commander, you can't just watch me put on a new cotton-padded jacket just because I've become rich.

You don’t know, we in the new group are so poor that we’re almost pissing blood.

The soldiers knew that I was coming to the headquarters to meet the boss in order to maintain the reputation of our new regiment.

The whole regiment had only one new cotton-padded jacket, and I was given the chance to wear it.

You don’t know, all the soldiers in the regiment were naked, hiding in the barracks, afraid to see anyone.

They are just waiting for me to go to the headquarters and take back the rations, clothing, and ammunition they have been assigned to them."

Sitting in the room were several regiment commanders from other brigades who remained in Shanxi.

As they listened to Li Yunlong's pity talk, several people burst into laughter.

They all spat out the boiled water they had just drunk while laughing.

This time the brigade commander's face became even darker, he slammed the table and said: "You are so good, Li Yunlong!

You have disgraced our brigade in front of our brother troops today. Wait and see how I will deal with you."

After the brigade commander finished speaking, he pretended to pull out his belt, as if he wanted to teach Li Yunlong a lesson.

At this moment, a communicator from headquarters ran in from outside the house.

He said to them, "Commendations, the deputy commander-in-chief wants to see you."

It is said that he has invited me, but who dares to act like a senior in front of the boss?

Everyone immediately ran to the yard and formed a line. The deputy commander-in-chief, the deputy chief of general staff, and the commander of a certain division of the Eighth Route Army had already stood in the yard.

After everyone was lined up, the deputy commander and his men didn't speak to anyone, but they kept their eyes on Li Yunlong, intentionally or unintentionally.

Just now, Li Yunlong was almost beaten up by his brigade commander.

Now he was hiding at the back of the team, hoping that his new cotton military uniform would not be discovered by the deputy commander-in-chief and his men.

As a result... Li Yunlong was sweating. Why were these big leaders staring at his face?

Li Yunlong was so scared that he didn't dare to speak. He could only look at the back of Lian Jie's head in front of him, pretending to be a invisible man.

Unexpectedly, he still couldn't dodge it. The deputy commander shouted in a deep voice: "Division Brigade, New 1st Regiment Commander Li Yunlong, step out."

The deputy commander-in-chief held a telegram in his hand and stared at Li Yunlong intently.

As a result, almost half a minute had passed and the deputy commander still didn't say anything.

In fact, this is not the deputy commander-in-chief, he just wants to show his power to Li Yunlong.

The deputy commander-in-chief really didn’t know how to ask Li Yunlong.

In the end, it was the division commander who, understanding the deputy commander-in-chief's difficulties, took over the topic directly.

"Li Yunlong, the boss heard that you made a fortune these days?"

When Li Yunlong heard the old leader's gentle voice, he became bolder.

"Sir, I dare not compete with the boss. The boss is the one with the best fortune!"

Captain Cheng and his companions were listening from behind and secretly curled their lips.

You kid, you are still not behaving yourself now, and you dare to act frivolously with your leader. Let's see if the deputy commander-in-chief will punish you.

The brigade commander was afraid that Li Yunlong would make the deputy commander angry again, so he quickly spoke up for him.

"Reporting to the division commander, Li Yunlong has performed quite well recently.

Every time he fights, he takes the initiative to hand over the spoils. Do you think we should give him a reward or something?"

The brigade chief's move was to advance in order to retreat. In case Li Yunlong made any mistakes, he could offset his merits and demerits.

The deputy commander-in-chief softened his tone at this time and said to the brigade commander: "Humph, you are the only one who knows how to protect your own people."

The division commander asked again: "Li Yunlong, I heard that your New 1st Regiment replenished its ammunition and cotton clothes yesterday?"

Li Yunlong felt a little embarrassed at this moment. Yesterday morning, Wu Changfeng had taken advantage of the Gan detachment.

A lot of supplies were brought back for the New 1st Regiment from them.

This would be fine under normal circumstances, but this time everyone was short of supplies.

Especially this year's winter in Shanxi is particularly cold, and many troops have problems with winter clothing.

But now that Li Yunlong's troops received thousands of cotton-padded jackets at once, it seemed a bit strange.

This time, Li Yunlong felt that he had been at a disadvantage for the first time and actually lowered his head in shame.

"Commanders, I know I was wrong. Please criticize me!"

The division commander said: "Haha, it seems that your brigade commander is right, you, Li Yunlong, have really made progress.

I have known you for so many years, and this is the first time I see you admit that you made a mistake. "

The deputy commander asked, "Well, tell me, what mistakes did you make?"

Li Yunlong said: "We can't just take more spoils just because we killed more Japanese soldiers.

You can't just give all the new cotton-padded clothes you bring back to your own troops just because you have a good relationship with the friendly forces.

This, this, this will affect the unity among the brother troops."

The deputy commander looked Li Yunlong up and down for a long time, and said with some doubt: "You speak very logically and your attitude is sincere, but why do I feel so uncomfortable listening to you?"

The deputy chief of staff smiled and said, “Boss, I think you have been fooled by him.

That's not self-criticism at all, he's just praising himself!"

"Look at the first thing Li Yunlong said, he was not reflecting on the fact that he took more than he deserved.

Rather, they were saying that because he killed so many devils, their regiment should retain more of the spoils."

"The second one is the same. He is bragging about his good relationship with the friendly forces, which is why he can get supplies that others can't."

After hearing this, the deputy commander burst into laughter and his mood improved a lot immediately.

"Well, he has made progress anyway, so let's put this matter behind us."

After the deputy commander-in-chief finished speaking, he slapped the draft telegram in his hand into Li Yunlong's hand.

"Take a look. This is a telegram from Yan'an."

"What? Is this a telegram from Yan'an?"

Not only Li Yunlong was confused by this matter, but the other regiment leaders also became curious.

If the leaders from the headquarters hadn't been here, they would have surrounded us long ago.

Li Yunlong held the telegram draft in both hands, flipping through it for a long time before he found his brigade commander with difficulty.

"Commander, you know me very well. I can barely recognize a few words.

Usually, Lao Wu helps me write reports, how about you help me take a look..."

The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong with disdain and said, "I usually tell you to read more and learn to read, but you just don't listen. Are you embarrassed this time?"

Then the brigade commander took the telegram and began to read: "This airdrop of supplies..."

When reading this, the brigade commander paused. He grasped a key point in the telegram.

The brigade commander was familiar with the term "airdrop".

But now in the country, I haven’t heard of any military unit doing this.

He glanced at the deputy commander-in-chief, and seeing that he had no intention of explaining, he continued reading.
