Chapter 13 Promotion to Combat Staff
"Hey, brigade commander, what are you talking about? Our new regiment has suffered heavy losses this time."
"Although we killed hundreds of little Japs, we also killed a captain of the Great Left Alliance and a captain of the Young Left Alliance."
"But we also suffered more than 300 casualties. Even I was wounded. Brigadier, please see if you can give our regiment some reinforcements."
"Anyway, the new regiment has brought glory to our brigade this time, hasn't it? If I don't add to it, if I lose the battle next time, I won't bring shame to your brigade commander."
After Li Yunlong broke out with the first battalion, he quickly reunited with the main force of the regiment.
After tallying up the results of the battle and the captured trophies, Li Yunlong was overjoyed and felt very happy.
He was waiting for Lu Ming to come over for some sweet potato roast, when the brigade commander called.
Hearing the brigade commander's words, Li Yunlong trembled in his heart, fearing that the brigade commander would ask for the spoils of war.
So he cried about poverty while telling the story of the new regiment's military exploits.
"Li Yunlong, don't you fucking talk to me about what the brigade headquarters' order is for your regiment to break out of Yujialing!"
"It's good for you. The main force of the regiment broke out from Yujialing, but the first battalion broke out from the front. What discount do you want to give me!"
"You have been a veteran for many years. Tell me yourself what the punishment will be for disobeying military orders on the battlefield!"
The brigade commander's angry voice came through the microphone, and Li Yunlong, who was about to take credit and add some extra, was startled.
He was a little confused. His battle was at least a meritorious service. How could it turn into disobeying military orders when it came to the brigade commander?
"No, brigade commander, what happened to the frontal breakthrough? Our regiment killed Nobutetsu Sakata and caused a lot of casualties to the Japanese army."
"The one we fought this time was the elite Sakata Regiment of the Japanese army. Even if I don't have any merit, you won't label me as a disobedient military order."
Li Yunlong spoke aggrievedly into the microphone, constantly recounting the results achieved by the new regiment.
"What's going on? If you beat the captain of the Zuo Alliance to death, the captain of the Young Zuo Alliance can disobey military orders?"
"If you kill the major general brigade commander or the lieutenant general division commander in the future, are you planning to rebel?"
"Li Yunlong, stop pretending to be wronged by me and disobeying orders on the battlefield. You are simply audacious!"
The brigade commander's voice came again, and Li Yunlong's expression changed.
You must know that Li Yunlong in Liangjian is not afraid of anything, but he is most afraid of the brigade commander.
"Brigade Commander, I...I have no choice but to do so. I have also reported the specific situation. It is really helpless to lead the first battalion to break through the encirclement."
"Brigadier, don't worry, I will break out from wherever you ask me to break out next time, without any compromise."
Li Yunlong hurriedly made a guarantee, fearing that the brigade commander would really pursue him for disobeying orders.
"Okay, this time the merits and demerits are equal and there will be no further investigation."
"In addition, the brigade headquarters has decided to transfer some local armed forces to supplement your regiment."
"There is no need to hand over all the weapons and equipment captured by your regiment this time. You can keep them for your own use."
The brigade commander saw that Li Yunlong was really frightened, so he also began to change his attitude.
After all, the New Regiment fought really well in this battle, and both the headquarters and division headquarters will commend them.
The brigade commander wanted to give Li Yunlong a hard beating to prevent him from doing something even more outrageous next time.
"Brigadier, I thank you, I kneel down for you..." Li Yunlong said with excitement on his face.
"Don't do this, don't cause trouble for me, that's the greatest thank you to me."
The brigade commander couldn't help but laugh and shook his head helplessly.
"Brigade Commander, there is one more thing. Our regiment's logistics officer Lu Ming has made meritorious service in this battle. I plan to promote him to the position of regiment headquarters' combat staff officer."
Feeling that the brigade commander was in a good mood, Li Yunlong took the opportunity to speak.
Such personnel appointments must be made to the brigade headquarters.
Li Yunlong didn't want a baby like Lu Ming to be exposed in advance, so he took the opportunity to mention it on the phone.
He knew that if he told everything about what Lu Ming had done, the brigade commander might even come to poach him.
Li Yunlong definitely wants to keep such a treasure by his side.
"Logistics officer Lu Ming, promoted to the position of combat staff officer at the regiment headquarters? OK, I approve it."
Hearing this, the brigade commander laughed and said, he already knew it in his heart.
When the matter was finished, the phone was hung up.
Li Yunlong sat on the Kang, ate a few peanuts, and took a sip of sweet potato roast.
He could replenish some soldiers, capture weapons without having to turn them in, and he didn't care whether he was rewarded or not.
At this time, Lu Ming also received the order and came over.
"Come on, let's have a little chat."
After seeing Lu Ming, Li Yunlong smiled, poured a large bowl of sweet potato roast himself, and handed it to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was not polite, took the big bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
This sweet potato roast was very bitter, pungent in the mouth, and choked the throat. Lu Ming felt a little uncomfortable drinking it.
"Hehehe, it's true. We, Lao Li, like you, a down-to-earth person."
"Lu Ming, you have made great contributions in this battle. From now on, you will be the combat consultant of our new regiment."
"The small team you formed will also be retained. The commando team will be reorganized. You will also serve as the captain. You will have priority in selecting weapons and equipment."
Li Yunlong said with admiration on his face and directly announced Lu Ming's appointment.
Lu Ming was a bit dumbfounded. In the TV series, Zhang Dabiao drank up Li Yunlong's big bowl of sweet potato roast and was scolded by him.
Li Yunlong also specifically emphasized that one should not be too down-to-earth in life.
As a result, it was Lu Ming who had a completely different attitude. This Li Yunlong was really a dog-faced person.
"Yes, leader!" Lu Ming readily agreed.
Next, Lu Ming had a drink with Li Yunlong at the regiment headquarters.
Soon, the entire new group began to enter a state of rest.
Lu Ming's team remained, but some veterans who were transferred from various ministries also returned to their respective establishments.
Wang Chengzhu, Wang Gensheng, Yang Tieniu, Wang Xikui, and Li Erhu (Huzi) stayed because of Lu Ming's repeated insistence.
However, if the entire team loses some veterans, its combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly reduced.
Lu Ming also understood that the new regiment also suffered losses this time, and the ministries had a great need for veterans. After all, veterans are the guarantee of combat effectiveness.
Although he has military exploits, if he takes someone by force, it will definitely arouse public outrage.
So Lu Ming temporarily organized the squad and gave priority to replenishing their weapons and equipment.
Wang Chengzhu artillery group, two 60MM mortars.
Wang Gensheng's blasting team, two Type 89 grenades.
Yang Tieniu's fire team, two Czech light machine guns.
Wang Xikui sniper team, two 99 sniper rifles.
Li Erhu assault team, five Thompson submachine guns.
There are five groups in the entire commando team. Counting Lu Ming, there are a total of thirty people, which is equivalent to the establishment of a platoon.
"Dingdong, the system has issued a mission to train Wang Xikui, Wang Chengzhu, Wang Gensheng, Yang Tieniu, and Li Erhu to become elite soldiers!"
"After the host accepts the mission, the host will be rewarded with two MG34 machine guns and some ammunition related to all the weapons and equipment of the commando."
Just when Lu Ming was a little worried, the system issued the task again.
Chapter completed!
