If it weren't for Ding Wei's help, I would have wanted to be reinstated, but I don't know how long it would take.
"Brigade commander, do you have any specific battle plan?" Kong Jie was gearing up, preparing for a big fight and exercising his muscles.
"Operation plan?" The brigade commander glanced at Kong Jie and said, "Your specific operational plan is to assist Ding Wei in fighting and tear apart the Japanese strongholds around your base area."
"Ah?" Kong Jie was dumbfounded.
"Ah, what? If you don't want to, just continue to be the battalion commander here." The brigade commander said sternly.
"Yes, resolutely obey the organization's arrangements!" Kong Jie immediately stood up and saluted.
The brigade commander turned to look at Ding Wei and said, "Ding Wei, do your best. The boss is looking forward to your performance here."
Ding Wei listened in a daze and did not understand the meaning behind the brigade commander's words.
"Brigadier Commander, what should Li Yunlong do?" Ding Wei asked: "Our three base areas are relatively close to each other. Otherwise, the three of us will join forces to open up a base area."
Ding Wei's mind started to become active. Li Yunlong's station was relatively close to Dingyang County. If he wanted to sit safely in Dingyang County, he must first remove the surrounding Japanese strongholds.
It's okay not to mention it. As soon as he heard Li Yunlong's name, the brigade commander immediately became angry.
"If you didn't mention him, I would have forgotten. What kind of bullshit is this guy Li Yunlong fighting?" the brigade commander said angrily.
With that said, the brigade commander walked out cursing.
Watching the brigade commander leave, the two of them hurriedly followed behind him.
Kong Jie smacked his lips and said, "Li Yunlong is going to be in trouble now. Looking at the brigade commander's temper, he has to go to the headquarters to raise horses for a few days."
"Lao Kong, believe it or not, I can ask Li Yunlong to say thank you to me later." Ding Wei thought for a moment and said with a smile.
"Just you?" Kong Jie raised his eyebrows: "This kid is here to challenge us, and you don't know his temper. He is just like the stones in the pit, smelly and hard.
You tricked him in Dingyang County, and this kid didn't gain anything, and you still want him to say thank you?"
"Just tell me what we should bet on." Ding Wei said.
Kong Jie said with a smile: "If you lose, I will tie up two Japanese girls for you. When nothing happens, you can beat them twice to relieve your anger."
"Fuck you, I think you want Japanese girls. I'll tie them up for you one day." Ding Wei laughed and scolded: "If you lose again, I can whip them twice."
…
Zhang Dabiao opened the door curtain and kept studying how Ding Wei and the others disappeared.
He had also guessed that they might have gone underground, but he could never find the entrance to the underground passage.
While Zhang Dabiao was thinking hard, he suddenly heard an angry shout coming from behind him.
"Zhang Dabiao, what are you looking at!" the brigade commander shouted angrily, making Zhang Dabiao tremble in fright.
When he moved to take a look, he saw the brigade commander and others walking in from the outside. He was slightly startled, and Zhang Dabiao straightened up immediately.
Suddenly, a familiar roar came to his ears, and Li Yunlong, who was closing his eyes, also stood up from his chair.
Seeing the figure of the brigade commander and others at the door, Li Yunlong was immediately dumbfounded, and secretly wondered how the brigade commander could come in from outside the door.
"Brigadier, why did you come in from outside? Sit down quickly and I'll get you some water." Li Yunlong quickly regained his composure and put on a smile.
"Stop smiling so playfully at me, stand still!" the brigade commander slammed the table hard.
Seeing that the brigade commander was really angry, Li Yunlong immediately became honest.
"Old Li is unlucky this time." Kong Jie whispered.
Ding Wei shook his head slightly and signaled Kong Jie to stop talking.
"Li Yunlong, you have become more capable now, you are quite capable of causing trouble." The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong and said calmly.
Li Yunlong laughed twice, but luckily he could still understand what he was saying.
"Do you have to go to the headquarters to raise horses for a few more days so that you can improve your memory?" the brigade commander said sternly: "I will lose all my face by you, just carry out military operations privately.
But what are you guys fighting? Did you see that Ding Wei can fight the transport team, and you thought you could do it too?"
"Brigadier, he is a Japanese..." Li Yunlong wanted to explain.
"Did I ask you to speak? What do you want to say? There are too many Japanese supporters. You didn't expect it at the moment." The brigade commander said, "Don't you have the ability? Why didn't you eat the Japanese transport team?"
Li Yunlong drooped his head and stopped explaining.
Although he successfully led his troops to break out of the enemy's siege, the target of the new regiment this time was the Japanese transport team.
It would be easy to say if we had captured the Japanese transport team, but we didn't.
"Why, don't you have the ability? Why didn't you say anything?" The brigade commander glared at Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong whispered: "Aren't I listening to you? Besides, you didn't let me speak."
"How dare you talk back!" The brigade commander raised his whip and wanted to slap Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong retreated and avoided this attack.
The brigade commander whipped him again: "How dare you hide!"
Seeing this scene, Ding Wei and Kong Jie almost laughed out loud.
However, they also knew in their hearts that the reason why the brigade commander was able to whip Li Yunlong was because he valued Li Yunlong.
If he thinks you are useless, he won't even bother to whip you.
Li Yunlong received a strong whip, and he could not express his pain.
Zhang Dabiao's head shrank, he was just a battalion commander, how could he dare to step forward and persuade the brigade commander not to whip his own regimental commander?
Not to mention Kong Jie, who had just been reinstated, did not dare to get into trouble with the brigade commander at this time.
Li Yunlong looked around and finally laid his eyes on Ding Wei.
Now Ding Wei is the popular man in front of the brigade commander, and his words are sure to work.
He had noticed the brigade commander before he entered the house. He had a dark face, as if he owed money.
But after he came out, the brigade commander's face was glowing red, and he was grinning so much that it almost hurt his ears. He didn't know what good thing he had heard.
But Li Yunlong can be sure that the change in the brigade commander's mood before and after is definitely related to Ding Wei.
Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei as if asking for help, hoping that he could say a few words.
Ding Wei laughed immediately and thought to himself: "You were not very arrogant when you came just now, but now you are starting to get timid."
It seems that the person who can take care of Li Yunlong must be the brigade commander.
"I want to shoot you right now. I've never seen such a stinky battle." As he said this, the brigade commander actually took out his gun.
Li Yunlong immediately became anxious when he saw this, and looked at Ding Wei again, his eyes seeming to say, we are still not friends, why don't you help to persuade him.
Ding Wei then took two steps forward, stopped the brigade commander, and said: "Brigadier Commander, Brigadier Commander, why are you angry with him? Bullets are so valuable now. Wouldn't it be a waste of bullets to shoot him?"
"This bastard knows how to cause trouble every day, so I can save my worries by just killing him." the brigade commander said angrily, but he also lowered his hand from the gun on his waist.
After all, the brigade commander was still reluctant to kill Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong secretly called him a good brother.
"Even if we really want to kill him, there's no need to waste bullets. It's just a sharp click." Ding Wei followed.
"Old Ding, you are still not a friend!" Li Yunlong became anxious when he heard Ding Wei's words.
I'm asking you to help me say a few nice words, but I'm not asking you to fan the flames here.
Ding Wei ignored Li Yunlong, who was angry, and continued: "Brigadier, it's useless for you to come over to Li Yunlong's head, so just let him owe it first.
This kid didn’t cause trouble. It’s too late for you to remove him from his post. You might as well let him get meritorious service..."
Ding Wei's voice became softer as he went to the back, and Li Yunlong eavesdropped, eager to know what Ding Wei was talking about.
When the brigade commander heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He originally planned to go to the 28th Regiment first, and then go to the New Regiment to teach Li Yunlong a lesson.
If he hadn't come to Ding Wei and not mentioned the shooting, Li Yunlong would have at least gone to the headquarters to feed the horses for a few days.
But Ding Wei made a suggestion, but the brigade commander gave up the idea.
"Li Yunlong, I will let you go this time. I will deal with you later!" the brigade commander pointed at Li Yunlong and shouted.
Li Yunlong did not dare to speak and listened honestly to the brigade commander's continued words.
"The bases of you, Kong Jie, and Ding Wei are relatively close together and form a triangle on the map. This is an excellent advantage for us," the brigade commander said solemnly.
"Now the Japanese army has blocked the road very tightly. There are Japanese patrols everywhere, and strongholds of various sizes are entrenched here."
Li Yunlong was delighted when he heard this, he was going to assign a task.
Then wouldn’t he be fine?
Without being punished, he could still fight the Japanese. This Ding Wei was quite capable. What did he say to the brigade commander?
Li Yunlong was thinking in his mind when he heard the brigade commander say: "Your mission is very simple. It is to remove the enemy's stronghold, establish a base area, and destroy the enemy's railway line. Do you understand?"
"Report to the brigade commander, don't worry, I'm here to guarantee that there will be no problem!" Li Yunlong patted his chest and assured.
"Okay, I'll just watch your performance. If you do something wrong for me, I'll see how I deal with you!" the brigade commander said sternly.
"Yes!" Li Yunlong looked serious, saluted to the brigade commander, and then said with a smile: "Thank you, brigade commander, I will never embarrass you this time, and I will definitely fight some beautiful battles."
"Okay, don't say thank you to me. If you really want to thank me, go and thank Ding Wei. If he hadn't begged you, I would have shot you to death."
After saying that, the brigade commander looked at Ding Wei and said: "I have given you the task. How well you can complete it depends on your own performance.
Without further ado, I’ll leave first and leave it up to you to decide on the specific combat arrangements.”
"Brigadier, are you leaving and staying for dinner?" Ding Wei asked.
"Old Ding, what are you talking about? Brigadier, she has so many things to do, how can she have time to eat here." Li Yunlong took a step forward and showed a smile.
"Brigadier, please walk slowly, I won't take you out with you."
Li Yunlong now wished that the brigade commander would leave quickly, lest he get angry and have to deal with him again.
Didn't the brigade commander know about Li Yunlong's little thoughts? He looked at him deeply and frightened Li Yunlong.
"You boy, do a good job for me, and cause me more trouble." The brigade commander smiled half-heartedly.
After saying that, the brigade commander left here without looking back.
Really gone?
Ding Wei originally thought that the brigade commander would leave behind some battle arrangements and battle plans.
Or start the attack from there first and regard it as the starting point of the counter-offensive. But judging from the posture of the brigade commander, he only intends to issue orders, and he has to formulate and complete the specific tasks himself.
What's going on?
Is the brigade commander planning to become a hands-off shopkeeper?
There are at least dozens of large and small villages here, and the brigade commander doesn't even have a specific mission deployment?
Ding Wei suddenly remembered that, excluding some district teams, it seemed that his regiment, Kong Jie, and Li Yunlong were stationed here.
"Well done, brigade commander. Have a nice trip. Come and have a drink when you have time." Li Yunlong quickly ran to the door and greeted the brigade commander.
Seeing the brigade commander's figure disappearing from sight, Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Old Ding, I really need to thank you this time, otherwise I wouldn't know how it would end!" Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei and said.
Li Yunlong knew very well that without Ding Wei to intercede with him this time, he might have led the brigade commander's horse back to the brigade headquarters to be punished.
"Hey, he really thanked you." Kong Jie said happily: "The sun is really rising in the west. This is the first time I heard Li Yunlong say thank you.
Lao Ding, it seems that I really have to tie up two Japanese girls for you this time."
"What are you Japanese girls? Why didn't I understand?" Li Yunlong asked doubtfully.
Ding Wei said with a smile: "Nothing, just to celebrate that the three of us brothers can meet again, we plan to tie up two Japanese girls to be your wives so that you can have fun with them."
"I don't want to. After all, I, Old Li, am also a well-known handsome man from all over the country. If you ask me to marry a Japanese girl, I won't do it." Li Yunlong waved his hands repeatedly.
"Look, if you call him fat, he's really giving you a hard time." Kong Jie pointed at Li Yunlong and laughed and cursed: "I see that this boy is so thick-skinned that he could be used as a cannonball."
Li Yunlong laughed: "It would be better if we can really defeat him. If there is a war in the future, just let us, Lao Li, rush to the front. You can just charge with the machine gun."
After a pause, Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei again and said: "But Old Ding, what you did is indeed a bit unethical. How about we discuss the matter of compensation?"
Seeing how thick-skinned Li Yunlong was, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were all convinced.
The three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they joked with each other for a while.
Ding Wei then said seriously: "Brothers, this time is no longer a joke. Didn't you hear what the brigade commander meant? This is considered as handing over this place to our three brothers."
Li Yunlong and Ding Wei both stopped smiling at the same time.
"The movement this time is probably bigger than our previous transport operations." Ding Wei continued: "The Japanese encirclement and suppression is coming soon, and maybe our entire regiment in North China will be involved this time."
"In the whole of North China, there are still hundreds of regiments to do this." Kong Jie took a breath of cold air.
Li Yunlong frowned slightly: "Old Ding, are you sure? There are more than a hundred regiments, no matter what, there are still 200,000 people, to fight against the Japanese encirclement and suppression together?"
Although Li Yunlong had already smelled a hint of crisis, he only thought that this was an ordinary battle, and no matter how big the noise was, it would not be too big.
"Be prepared for a rainy day. How come the kid only fights local battles after putting so much effort into transporting supplies?" Ding Wei analyzed.
"Besides, if it's really a local battle, even if the brigade commander talks about it personally, we can solve it ourselves."
After a pause, Ding Wei continued.
"Don't leave today. The three of us will be together these days to discuss the next countermeasures. If the Japs come, we can at least take care of each other."
"No problem!" Kong Jie and Li Yunlong nodded in unison.
