Hearing this, Zhao Gang was happy and said: "Old Li, if you lie to him like this, aren't you afraid that he will get angry with you?"
"What do you mean by lying?" Li Yunlong said: "Didn't I tell him to let him eat the big head and let us drink some soup along with him? Isn't this kid unwilling?
Give him a chance, he won't be able to use it."
Li Yunlong's quick thinking, although not as good as Ding Wei, is more than enough to deal with Kong Jie.
"If you say that, I would like to ask you, if Lao Kong really agrees, what can you do?" Zhao Gang said.
"If this kid really believes your words and decides to take a gamble, you will just stare."
"Is it that boy Kong Jie?" Li Yunlong said: "Impossible, I know him too well, if I say this, this boy will never agree.
His mind couldn't turn around at that time, otherwise how could he be called Kong Erlengzi."
"What if, I mean what if?" Zhao Gang asked.
"Even if he agrees, as long as we see him coming and we just put on a show, keep lowering our heads, whispering, and laughing at his equipment, he will feel unsure," Li Yunlong said.
"As long as we don't talk and keep looking at him as if he's taken advantage of, Kong Jie himself will ask to be exchanged with us."
Li Yunlong said: "Of course, it will take a few days for Kong Erleng to figure this out. By then, we have already sent all the equipment. Even if he wants to regret it, he will not be able to do so."
"Okay, Lao Zhao, let's stop talking nonsense now and get ready first and wait for our good news." Li Yunlong laughed.
"Old Li, what if Old Ding doesn't agree with you?" Zhao Gang asked: "You made such a small calculation, and Old Ding can hear it in his base area."
"Even if we don't eat, we will only lose the equipment of two platoons, and the equipment of a battalion will be wasted, so these will be lost." Li Yunlong had a toothache.
You have to try it anyway, you just have to give it a try.
"Okay, I'll just listen to you!" Zhao Gang had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Now both sides are developing by default, there is almost no large-scale conflict, and an opportunity is brewing.
When Zhao Gang went to meetings, he often heard the brigade commander and others say: Don't initiate conflicts with the Japanese unless necessary. The best thing to do now is to keep a low profile and bide your time.
We can't go out to rob the little devils, so we can only think of ways to beat the landlords and their old wealth.
Ding Wei had strong soldiers and horses, and rich equipment. Even if Zhao Gang didn't want to, they could only find a way to get some equipment from Ding Wei.
Under Li Yunlong's order, the equipment of the two platoons was quickly assembled.
Of course, these guns were actually the equipment that Ding Wei originally gave to Li Yunlong. They were turned around and returned to Ding Wei's hands.
"Lao Li, is this appropriate for us?"
Looking at the equipment of the two platoons on the ground, Zhao Gang said with some doubts.
Li Yunlong also knew how to budget carefully. The equipment of these two platoons were all firearms with poor accuracy and damaged parts. Since replacement parts could not be found, they could only be repaired and used.
As for how to deceive the soldiers, Li Yunlong could only deceive the soldiers. This gun is just for borrowing and will be returned to you after a period of time.
When I came back, I had to be in a good mood at the very least.
Li Yunlong just coaxed and lied to get these guns.
There are also two light machine guns and a pheasant neck heavy machine gun. Using fresh words, this is called Sanyo Kaitai, the ocean of the East, which makes Ding Wei feel more happy.
In fact, to put it bluntly, there was something wrong with this batch of equipment. Li Yunlong was reluctant to throw it away, and he had to seize it to replace the parts. It was barely usable, so he just gave it to Ding Wei.
Hearing Li Yunlong's explanation, Zhao Gang laughed angrily.
Why do you use Sanyang Kaitai like this? You are really not afraid of your ancestors crawling out of the ground and knocking you on the head.
But Li Yunlong didn't care. As long as the words were useful, he couldn't care about that much.
After preparing weapons and equipment, Li Yunlong patiently waited for Kong Jie to return.
"Lao Li, you're not really going to give these as a gift, are you?" Zhao Gang thought about it, but still felt something was wrong.
"We are getting married. If you don't give me something nice, why don't you give these things away?"
"Why don't you give it away? This is just for crying poverty, so that Old Ding can help us." Li Yunlong said: "It's not appropriate to ask directly. Just be tactful."
Hearing this, Zhao Gang could only helplessly shake his head.
"People are poor but have short ambitions." Li Yunlong said: "Now is not the time to lose face. It has been a long time since there has been a war. The Japanese have not made any move. They must be trying to suppress a big one.
If we don't take countermeasures now, we will be in trouble if we rush into the battle hastily."
Li Yunlong then added: "Now is the time when the army needs money, and the brigade commander has no time to take care of us. If he really takes care of us, other troops will come.
So the brigade commander won't open this mouth at the moment, but don't think so much, the brigade commander has nothing to do, we will find a way ourselves, and we can slowly repay Lao Ding in the future."
Hearing this, Zhao Gang couldn't say anything else.
As the sun set, Kong Jie and others drove the mule cart forward.
Well, like Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and the others also chose old and worn-out weapons.
The two looked at the weapons and equipment prepared by each other, smiled at each other, and showed the same smile.
What a coincidence. Don’t you want to go together?
"Old Li, you have prepared a lot of good things." Kong Jie teased: "Look at these weapons of yours, they are almost covered in pulp."
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "We are talking to each other, let alone talking about the other. After all, I have one more platoon of equipment than you."
Kong Jie smiled, crossed the topic and said, "Shall we leave now?"
"Let's go!" Li Yunlong waved his hand, and the two drove the mule cart towards the 28th Brigade base area again.
28th Brigade Base Area.
Ding Wei put his hands behind his back and looked at the road leading in and out of the base area.
"Captain, what have you been looking at?" Xu Hu was a little curious: "It's almost time for dinner, why don't you go get something to eat?"
"Waiting for someone." Ding Wei smiled.
"Waiting for someone?" Xu Hu asked puzzledly: "Who are you waiting for? I didn't hear that someone from our team can come today."
"Huzi, please leave him alone, he doesn't do this often." Qiu Chan curled her lips and said.
"When we were about to eat, he kept standing here. I asked him why he kept waiting for someone. I didn't know who he was waiting for."
"Acquaintances, you must know each other." Ding Wei said firmly.
Qiu Chan is even stranger, familiar?
Do you still know each other?
"Look, they are coming!" Ding Wei raised his hand and pointed into the distance.
On the road not far away, there were two mule carts slowly heading towards the base.
If you look carefully, you can see that there are two people sitting in the car.
The appearance seems a bit familiar.
Um?
Aren't these Li Yunlong and Kong Jie?
Why are they here again?
This time I brought something with me.
Qiu Chan looked at Ding Wei in surprise.
These two people didn't say they would come back. How did he know?
"I told you that someone would come to visit. Look, I was right, right?" Ding Wei said, "Huzi, go and tell the cooking team to prepare some good food."
"Yes!" Xu Hu responded and left quickly.
"Old Ding, how did you know that these two would come?" Qiu Chan asked curiously.
I have been waiting for such a long time to co-author it, just for these two people.
"Guess." Ding Wei said.
"You guessed it?" Qiu Chan shook her head: "I don't believe it. You guessed everything. When did you guess so accurately?"
"You're stupid." Ding Wei smiled and said, "Didn't you just say that they want to exchange their equipment for my equipment? Do you think they can come as soon as possible?"
"That's how you're sure?" Qiu Chan was dumbfounded.
Ding Wei smiled mysteriously and said: "Of course, I know them very well. Not only can I tell you that they came to send me equipment, but they are all crappy equipment. Do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it." Qiu Chan shook her head decisively: "Why do you say that?"
"Because I know their temperament." Ding Wei said firmly: "With their temperament, this time they just come to cry for poverty and let me see how miserable they are."
After a pause, Ding Wei added: "But this is fine, the tricks are the same as before.
They didn't play tricks on me to make me unable to get off the stage, otherwise I would really have to make them remember it."
On the road.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie also noticed Ding Wei's figure.
"Lao Kong, look quickly, is that person Lao Ding?" Li Yunlong pointed in the direction of the base.
Kong Jie looked at it for a while and said, "Hey, it seems like it's really him. Qiu Chan is also there."
The two looked at each other and couldn't figure out for a moment why Ding Wei appeared at the gate of the base.
Could it be that the brigade commander or division commander was coming, and he went out to greet them in person?
No one else dares to have such a big spectrum.
"Old Li, let's go?" Kong Jie said, "If it's the brigade commander, he will definitely give me a scolding if he knows about my little thoughts."
Li Yunlong thought for a while, but before he could say a single word, he saw Ding Wei waving at them.
Okay, this is nonsense, Lao Ding has discovered it a long time ago.
"Where to go, Ding Wei has already seen it." Li Yunlong said angrily: "Mom, your luck is too bad. If the brigade commander really comes, let's not say anything."
If we forcefully walk now, we might run into the brigade commander and the others on the way back. There is no way to explain this car of junk, so we can only bite the bullet and get on with it.
"Why don't you say anything?" Kong Jie said anxiously: "If the brigade commander asks what's going on with these equipment, what should we say?"
"Just say..." Li Yunlong's brain was spinning rapidly and he said: "Let's ask Lao Ding for help. There is a problem with a batch of equipment in the army. Bring it to him and ask him to help us repair it.
Because Lao Ding has been away, we couldn't use his people. Now that he is here, we can repair the weapons by the way.
After the brigade commander and others have left, we will talk to Ding Wei about this matter."
"Okay, I'll do as you said." Kong Jie nodded hurriedly: "Old Li, you're the one with the quickest brain."
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the gate of the base.
"Lao Li, Lao Kong, you two made it easy for me to wait." Ding Wei said with a smile.
"?"
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were a little confused when they heard this.
What does he mean by this? Is the station waiting for us?
"Old Ding, who are you waiting for here?" Li Yunlong asked cautiously: "Do you have guests coming?"
"Isn't the guest already here?" Ding Wei said with a smile.
It really is.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie looked at each other, not knowing how to answer the conversation for a while.
"Don't be stunned. Come on in. I've asked Hu Zi to prepare the food and wine, and I'll be waiting for you." Ding Wei greeted them in.
I thought Ding Wei would be surprised to see them, but it turned out that he seemed to have expected everything and was just waiting for them to jump in.
Enter!
Anyway, we are here, so what are we afraid of?
The two arranged for soldiers to follow behind with mule carts.
Team headquarters.
Ding Wei didn't ask why they came back, and what was being pulled on the mule cart this time, which made Li Yunlong and Kong Jie very uncomfortable.
If you don't start this conversation, how can we continue it?
Are you asking, why don't you ask us why we came back?
"Come and have a taste. This is a good wine that I got. We haven't seen each other like this, so we have to celebrate." Ding Wei took out a bottle of foreign wine from under the table.
Just by looking at the bottle, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie could feel the value of the wine, but they had something to do today and were not in the mood to care about the wine.
"Old Ding, we will miss you so much when you leave." Li Yunlong spoke first.
"Really, then we have to get drunk before we return. Don't worry, I have already said hello to the brigade commander, and everything will be fine." Ding Wei said with a smile.
No, we have to change our tactics and the two of them look at each other.
"Old Ding, I heard that you are getting married, Lao Li and I are so happy, hahaha." Kong Jie laughed twice.
Ding Wei still had no reaction and said, "You two were the first to know about this. Why were you unhappy at the time?"
In a word, the two of them could no longer continue to talk.
Qiu Chan suppressed a smile, he knew that Ding Wei did this on purpose.
When I went to the yard just now, I saw the boxes unloaded from the mule cart. Qiu Chan took a peek and found that it was exactly what Ding Wei said.
They are all weapons and equipment and are badly worn. They can only be used normally if parts are replaced.
"Look at what you said, didn't we react just now?" Li Yunlong broke the embarrassment and said: "I heard the news of your marriage at that time. Lao Kong and I were so happy."
"Happy?" Ding Wei raised his eyebrows.
"Of course I'm happy!" Li Yunlong nodded: "My good comrade and brother are getting married, how can we not be happy?"
"But when Lao Kong and I walked out, we realized that our reaction was a bit slow. We originally wanted to come back, but we thought it wouldn't be appropriate to go back empty-handed, so I went back with Lao Kong to get some gifts."
Li Yunlong never mentioned how the two people left at that time, and eventually the topic turned to the word equipment.
"Oh, a gift?" Ding Wei said: "What gift? Tell me and let me see it."
"Equipment." Kong Jie said.
"Yes, it's equipment!" Li Yunlong said: "Although we brothers are poor, we still squeezed out some equipment and gave it to you as a wedding gift."
"Who among us is following whom? Why do we care about this?" Ding Wei said.
"Old Ding, just don't dislike the things." Li Yunlong began to perform: "You know what our situation is, and we can't give you anything good."
"Oh?" Ding Wei responded.
"There aren't many things, it's just the equipment for a company. I know you have a strong army and don't look down on this equipment, but this is what Lao Kong and I want." Li Yunlong touched Kong lightly with his elbow.
Jie.
"Yes, yes, mind, mind." Kong Jie responded hurriedly.
"Originally, we planned to scrape together a little bit of equipment for a battalion, but we couldn't." Li Yunlong continued.
In short, there are three things that remain true: we are poor, we have no money, and it is very difficult for us.
"So I had to settle for the next best thing. I put together two platoons, Lao Kong had one platoon, and together they formed a company. Don't look down on you two poor brothers." Li Yunlong said embarrassedly.
