Chapter 43 Brotherhood

Zheng Xirong, Monk Wei and others could not stop so many Japanese soldiers, and they watched them rush into the village.

Xu Dalong also followed Sun Desheng and others to rush towards the Japanese artillery and baggage troops, and the focus was on the Japanese artillery. They were worried that the Japanese army would blow up artillery in a critical moment.

When the Japanese artillery saw the Eighth Route Army rushing over, they hurriedly set up artillery, but were knocked to the ground one by one by Xu Dalong.

Seeing that the situation was critical, the Japanese artillery squad leader hurriedly commanded the remaining artillery to blow up the Type 92 infantry artillery.

Xu Dalong stared at the two Type 92 infantry cannons. When he saw the Japanese raise their grenades to blow up the cannons, he hurriedly killed them one by one.

The Japanese squad leader was anxious, grabbed a grenade and knocked on his helmet, hugged a Type 92 infantry cannon, and stuffed the grenade into the barrel.

Xu Dalong shot him and hit the Japanese squad leader in the back. The Japanese squad leader was extremely brave. He shook his body for a moment, gritted his teeth, and continued to stuff the grenade into the cannon barrel.

With a bang, a Type 92 infantry cannon was scrapped.

Xu Dalong was so heartbroken that he shivered. He stared at the last remaining Type 92 infantry cannon, shot one by one, and knocked all the Japanese soldiers who were trying to get close to this cannon to the ground.

Sun Desheng led the brothers of the cavalry company to rush up and wiped out all the remaining artillery and baggage troops of the Japanese army.

After the Japanese acting captain led the remaining troops into the village, he immediately deployed defense.

The Japanese soldiers quickly used the walls and roofs as hidden objects to form a blocking position.

After counting the number of people, the acting captain looked gloomy. He really didn't expect that an elite infantry brigade of the great Japanese Yellow Army would be under the attack of less than 100 enemies, and now there were only 515 people left, and the artillery squad and all the supplies were lost.

He knew that the task to Lijiapo was impossible to complete, and the most urgent task was to save the remaining troops of the brigade from being eaten by the enemy.

He called the correspondents and sent a telegram to his superiors, asking for tactical guidance.

At this time, Li Jiapo's battle was over. The superior ordered them to immediately break away from the Eighth Route Army and turn towards Lincheng. The superiors would immediately notify reinforcements to help them.

The Japanese army is one of the most shameless troops in the world. They are obviously retreating, but they call it a transit.

The acting captain did not dare to lose the defensive position he had finally found, so he sent a telegram to his superiors, saying that they would stick to their support.

When Sun Desheng saw the Japanese turtles hiding into the small village, he said excitedly: "Brother Dalong, let's rush up and kill them."

Today's war was so exciting. Sun Desheng was full of confidence and did not take the remaining Japanese army into consideration.

As a commander, Xu Dalong must be at a glance at the overall situation of the battle. When he saw the Japanese army entering the village, if they carried out a tough battle, the guerrilla tactics they used would be useless, and they would be at a disadvantage in their troops and firepower.

Moreover, there are a large number of Japanese and puppet troops in Lincheng, which is less than 30km away from here, and the Japanese reinforcements will arrive soon.

Xu Dalong decided to stop when he was about to get better. He asked Sun Desheng to lead the cavalry to collect the seized weapons and ammunition. He led the special service platoon to continue monitoring the Japanese army and cover the cavalry company to retreat first.

The Japanese brigade captain watched the Eighth Route Army withdraw from the battlefield, but he did not have the courage to go out to pursue.

After confirming that the Eighth Route Army had evacuated, they also left the village and turned towards Lincheng.

The battle was over, and the special service platoon and cavalry company sacrificed 2 people and injured 7 people at the cost of killing 7 people, causing the Japanese army to lose 585 bodies, including the Japanese squadron leader Sahiratanaka.

Xu Dalong and others seized a Japanese Type 92 infantry cannon, three 60mm mortars, two crooked machine guns, 425 rifles, and several other materials, which was a complete victory.

In order not to worry Li Yunlong and others, Xu Dalong sent Wang Xiaohu to Lijiapo to report.

After Wang Xiaohu finished reporting, there was another silence in the command center, and people looked shocked on their faces.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Kong Jie were full of excitement and pride.

After a while, the boss clenched his fist and waved it hard in the air, saying, "What a great thing! At the cost of less than 100 casualties, a complete infantry brigade of the Japanese army was defeated and more than half of the Japanese army was wiped out. This is a great miracle."

The division commander has always been steady. At this moment, he was a little excited and said, "Our soldiers are really creative. They can exert guerrilla warfare to a superb level. Such experience must be affirmed and promoted."

The boss said: "We must let Xu Dalong come to the headquarters. I want to listen to his face-to-face report."

After coming out of the command center, Li Yunlong said with a sad face, "Old Zhao, this time is awful. If Xu Dalong comes to the headquarters, he will definitely be detained."

Zhao Gang has a view of the overall situation, and although he can't bear to part with Xu Dalong, if talents like Xu Dalong can be placed at a higher level, they will be able to play their role.

Zhao Gang said: "Old Li, the superiors can reuse Xu Dalong, which is also the glory of our independent group."

Li Yunlong said dissatisfiedly: "Old Zhao, what's the point of you? It seems that you are a prodigal son."

Zhao Gang smiled and said, "Old Li, you, you just can't spit out ivory from your mouth."

Kong Jie was not under such great pressure, and he was even a little gloating because he was no longer a member of the Independent Group. If the head of the headquarters could transfer Xu Dalong away, Li Yunlong would not be so arrogant. He smiled and said, "I think the political commissar is right. Lao Li, you are just a petty man and have no view of the overall situation."

Li Yunlong was angry and said, "Kong Erlangzi, don't gloat, you kid. You just got your job back and forth."

Next, the headquarters held a Lijiapo battle commendation meeting. The Independent Regiment won collective commendation. The Special Service Platoon and the Cavalry Company collectively recorded great merits once, Xu Dalong recorded special merits once, Sun Desheng recorded great merits once, and Zheng Xirong, Wei Monk, Wang Xiaohu and others all recorded military merits respectively.

Before the commendation meeting began, the brigade commander personally sent correspondents to Yangcun, the independent regiment's resident, and asked Xu Dalong to take the special service line to the headquarters to report.

As a result, Xu Dalong was still not called this time, because Xu Dalong had already gone to Taiyuan and he wanted to help Wang Xinmin rescue his fiancée.

Li Yunlong was so happy that he couldn't stop hearing the news and smiled: "Xu Dalong, this guy, just winks. After he goes back, I want to find him and have a good drink."

Zhao Gang was also very happy. He said in his heart that he really made Xu Dalong leave the Independence Group, and he felt very uncomfortable.

He said: "It's good that this is the case. The head of the headquarters wants to summarize Xu Dalong's combat experience? I will help him with this matter and give the materials to the head of the headquarters at that time."

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang took the Independent Regiment to return to the garrison. Kong Jie also followed them back to Yangcun because he wanted to go back for the handover.

At this moment, the brigade commander sent someone to call them three over.

Li Yunlong began to worry again, and he said, "There is no good thing for the brigade commander to ask us to go. We must be watching the weapons and ammunition we seized. We three must cooperate well. I will sing a slander. You sing a slander, so how much can you save it."

Zhao Gang agreed with Li Yunlong's opinion, and he also hoped to leave more wealth for the independent group.

Kong Jie didn't think so. He thought to himself: "I have also earned a lot of money in the Independent Group. Before leaving this time, I have to make a fortune. I can't take all the benefits," he said.

He agreed, but thought in his heart how to tell the brigade commander that he would take away part of the seizure from this seizure.

After meeting the brigade commander, the brigade commander was not polite. He said bluntly: "Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, this battle was not fought by you alone. The 70th Regiment, 71st Regiment, 69th Regiment, New 2nd Regiment, and the brigade headquarters' direct team all participated in this battle. All the weapons and ammunition you seized must be handed over. Of course, it will be distributed to you as a part."

Li Yunlong immediately said, "That's not possible. If our Independent Group had not run hundreds of miles of land and arrived in time, the Japanese Okazaki Brigade had already run away, where would they seize the weapons and ammunition? What if we were to do that, we would have to pay more points.

Let’s take out half of it and hand it over to the brigade department. This is a lot.”

The brigade commander said, "Don't do this. If there are no other troops involved, the Okazaki brigade of the Japanese will not be defeated. There are five regiment-level units participating in the battle this time, so it will be divided into five parts."

Li Yunlong said dissatisfiedly: "Brig Commander, this is not suitable. Isn't this the same as robbing openly? We seized weapons and ammunition, so we have to take the big head no matter what. Why should we share it with them equally?"

Kong Jie knew that Li Yunlong had always eaten more and occupied more. If he could follow the brigade commander's wishes, the new Second Regiment could also get one fifth of the weapons.

So he said, "I said Lao Li, I think the brigade commander is right. This battle is not only a contribution to our independent regiment, but we would not have achieved such great contribution without the cooperation of the brothers.

This time the headquarters gave our independent group the honor of commendation, so don’t worry about these weapons and ammunition.”

Li Yunlong immediately glared at his eyes and said, "Kong Erlangzi, I don't know what you think yet? You are no longer from our Independent Group. You are thinking of giving you a little more points to the new Second Group. What are you holding back? Don't I know? You are still singing a high-profile here."

Kong Jie was not willing to be outdone and said with his eyes wide open: "I said to Li Yunlong, don't be ungrateful. You didn't fight this battle alone, but I also had a lot of credit for it. Why did you monopolize the benefits?"

The brigade commander knew that Li Yunlong had this kind of virtue, but he had a way to deal with Li Yunlong. He said, "Okay, don't make any noise."

Li Yunlong, our Eighth Route Army is disciplined, and the weapons and ammunition of Okazaki Battalion must be handed over. If you don’t want to, your independent regiment will seize the batch of weapons and ammunition of Hirata Battalion, and we have to say it. I heard that you have also seized the Japanese Type 92 infantry cannons, so should you hand them over to the brigade headquarters?”

Li Yunlong immediately became timid when he heard this. You must know that the batch of weapons and ammunition from the Pingtian Brigade seized by Xu Dalong and others are now in the hands of the Independent Regiment, and he must take it alone away from the brigade headquarters.

The most important thing is that when the Okazaki Brigade was destroyed, the two Type 92 infantry cannons they carried were blown up by the Japanese artillerymen. However, Xu Dalong and the others seized a complete Type 92 infantry cannon, which could not be handed over.

He hurriedly said, "Brig Commander, you are unreasonable. It is indeed not a fight for our independent brigade that we can fight for our independent brigade. It is reasonable for you to ask us to hand over it. But this Hirata brigade is all a fight for our independent brigade, so it is too much to hand over it, right?"

The brigade commander smiled and said, "Why, now you have to hand over the weapons and ammunition of Okazaki Battalion, have you agreed?"

Li Yunlong pretended to be heartbroken, sighed, and said, "The first level of official position is crushed to death. Your brigade commander gave an order. Do I dare not obey?"

"Haha, hahaha!" The brigade leader laughed and said, "Li Yunlong, Kong Jie is right. You guys have to change the problem of eating more and taking more. OK! Don't even keep one-fifth of the weapons and ammunition from the Okazaki Brigade. You should hand them all over.

This time, in order to commend your Independent Group, all the weapons and ammunition from Hirata Brigade belong to you."

In fact, Li Yunlong made this idea. He deliberately tried to pretentiously to seize the batch of weapons and ammunition from the Okazaki Brigade, just to prevent the brigade commander from thinking about the batch of weapons and ammunition from the Hirata Brigade they seized.

Now that he has achieved his goal, he can't help but be overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Then let me say that, thank you, brigade commander."

After hearing this, Kong Jie felt that he was fooled by Li Yunlong again. He knew very well that Li Yunlong would definitely take over the batch of weapons and ammunition from Hirata Brigade. However, he was satisfied that he could get a part of the batch of weapons and ammunition from the Okazaki Brigade for the New Second Regiment.

When talking about the distribution of weapons and ammunition, Zhao Gang never said anything. After all, he was a newcomer and did not have the qualifications in front of the brigade commander. Moreover, he found that both the brigade commander, Li Yunlong, and Kong Jie were all very sensible, and if he was not careful, he would be fooled by them.

After the Independent Regiment handed over the weapons and ammunition of the Okazaki Brigade, he returned to the Independent Regiment's resident Yangcun.

After Kong Jie handed over the work, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and cadres above the camp held a banquet to see Kong Jie off.

The Independent Group was brought out by Kong Jie, so there is no need to mention the feelings. He was a little sad and drank a lot of wine.

Kong Jie said to Li Yunlong: "Old Li, no matter what, you ask your superiors to keep me in the Independent Group as the deputy leader. This time you set up a stage again to let me sing a big show about annihilation of Okazaki Brigade. The official has been restored, and I still have to thank you. Come on, I wish you a cup."

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie clinked glasses, and after drinking, he smiled and said, "Old Kong, there are still many places to thank me. Lao Zhao, come and tell him."

Zhao Gang took out a list and handed it to Kong Jie, saying, "Captain Kong, actually, Lao Li will never forget the friendship between brothers. Your new second regiment was established for a short time and had a poor family background. He discussed with me to share a portion of the weapons and ammunition seized by Xu Dalong."

Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong in surprise, wondering why this kid was so generous today? He took the list and started looking.

The list says: two mortars, two crooked machine guns, two Czech light machine guns, one hundred Hanyang-made and 38-type rifles, one telescope, and five thousand bullets of various types.

Kong Jie didn't expect that Li Yunlong would be so generous. He was really moved and his eyes were red. He didn't want to owe others favors, but the New Second Regiment really needed these weapons and ammunition, so he was not so tough. The most important thing is that he was really grateful to Li Yunlong.

He said: "Old Li, I won't say anything. If the Independent Group needs our New Second Group if you have something to do, just say it. Even if I, Lao Kong, will come to help you even if I, will take advantage of this life."

Kong Jie left and took away the batch of weapons and ammunition. He was very satisfied and a little regretful. He did not see Xu Dalong before leaving.
