Chapter 16 Li Yunlong, congratulations on your fortune
Hearing the brigade commander's congratulations on winning the lottery and getting rich, Li Yunlong's inner anxiety instantly reached its peak.
It was as if something was about to leave me.
Looking at the brigade commander's inexplicable smile, Li Yunlong felt his scalp tingling.
"Hehe, Brigade Commander, I just made a little fortune.
It is not worthy of your esteemed peer, the Brigade Commander."
Li Yunlong handed the small Japanese command knife in his hand to the brigade commander with a smile and spoke.
"Commander, this is the knife of the Japanese commander in Linyuan County.
Just the right amount for you to chop firewood."
The brigade commander took the knife and looked at the chrysanthemum mark on the blade and was delighted.
"Li Yunlong, you are quite arrogant.
The saber bestowed by the Japanese emperor has become a knife for chopping wood in your mouth."
"Okay, it just so happens that the hatchet in my kitchen doesn't work, so I'll stay here.
Next time, get me a colonel's knife. The knife used by the kitchen staff to chop melons is not good enough."
"Yes! I promise to get you a colonel's knife for cutting vegetables."
"Brigade Commander, what do you think of our battle this time?"
"It's just a small matter. Didn't I ask you to find a way to break the Japanese blockade of the base?"
"Hahaha, thank you, Brigade Commander, thank you, Brigade Commander. Old Li has also prepared a small gift for you."
"what?"
"Five hundred rifles, three Type 99 light machine guns, but not many bullets. All in all, there are more than 20,000 bullets."
"Hahaha, Li Yunlong, it looks like you gained a lot in this battle. Five hundred guns are considered a small gift?"
"Okay, I'll accept your little gift, I like it very much.
Please give me more small gifts like this in the future, I like these small gifts the most."
The brigade commander patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder, turned around and asked the guard to go and receive the small gift that Li Yunlong brought.
Then he said to Li Yunlong: "Li Yunlong, you have made such a great contribution this time, I can't treat you unfairly."
"Stay at the brigade headquarters for lunch today. I have a bottle of good wine. I'll treat you to a drink!"
"Guard, ask the kitchen staff to fry an egg for our Captain Li."
"Then I, Old Li, would like to thank the Brigade Commander."
When Li Yunlong saw that the brigade commander did not mention the artillery, he felt relieved.
Li Yunlong really didn't want to send equipment to the brigade, but he still had cannons in his hands.
If I don't come, when the brigade commander goes to the New 1st Regiment, we might not be able to keep the guns or even the artillery.
It would be better to just send a batch of guns first and behave better, then maybe the brigade commander will let go of his guns.
Although the 500 guns Li Yunlong sent out were all old-cased Hanyang-made water-jet rifles that were replaced by the new 1st Regiment.
But his heart still bleeds. There's nothing he can do about it. That's just his personality.
In the eyes of others, these are five hundred guns, but in his heart, these are the Fifth Battalion of his New First Regiment and the brains of the Japanese!
Now that he could give away 500 guns to protect his own artillery and get a free drink, Li Yunlong felt it was worth it.
The good wine that the brigade commander was talking about was actually a bottle of Shanxi Fenjiu.
After taking a sip of wine and eating a piece of radish peel, Li Yunlong suddenly thought of the task Qin Yangming had assigned to him.
“By the way, Brigadier General, this is a training outline that the little bastard came up with.
I've seen the soldiers he trained.
Ordinary recruits can basically fight the Japanese one-on-one without losing to them."
After handing over the training outline to the brigade commander,
Li Yunlong told the brigade commander everything he knew.
"Who is that little bastard?"
Listening to what Li Yunlong said, the brigade commander was also a little confused about who the little bastard he was talking about was.
"That's the one who carried the big pot with me when we were crossing the grassland."
"Oh, I remember now. It's the one who stole a gun and got hung up and beaten by the boss."
When the brigade commander heard what Li Yunlong said, he immediately thought of who Li Yunlong was talking about.
Li Yunlong was somewhat confused as he listened to what the brigade commander said.
"Brigade Commander, hasn't that little bastard Qin Yangming been following our front army?"
"No, he used to be in the old district.
We came later.”
"Now that you mention it, I seem to remember who you were talking about."
The political commissar at the side said: "Isn't it that very tall,
A guy with a neck that's about as thick as his head?"
"Yes, yes, that's him."
The brigade commander took a sip of wine and talked about Qin Yangming's interesting childhood stories while flipping through the training outline.
"This guy was very strong when he was a child.
His parents were also revolutionaries, but they died later.”
"It was the boss and the chief of staff at headquarters who raised him."
"Let me tell you, there is something interesting in this training outline." The brigade commander said in surprise as he looked at the training outline.
With his military knowledge, he could naturally see how much this training outline contained.
It has to be said that the contents of the training outline are indeed very useful for the Eighth Route Army today.
However, the actual effect can only be seen after practice.
"By the way, Li Yunlong,
I remember that this time it was Qin Yangming who led the people to destroy the Japanese headquarters.
That’s why you have the opportunity to attack the stronghold.”
"Yes, that's right. Qin Yangming deserves the most credit for the New 1st Regiment's success this time."
The brigade commander, who was originally worrying about how to make Li Yunlong hand over the cannon willingly, suddenly had an idea after listening to what Li Yunlong said.
Then the brigade commander gave a look to the political commissar beside him.
The political commissar standing by immediately understood what the brigade commander meant.
Poor Li Yunlong was still happily chewing the radish peel.
He doesn't even know that his name will soon no longer be Li.
"It seems that Qin Yangming is quite capable.
It just so happens that the guard battalion of my brigade is still short of a deputy battalion commander.
I think it would be better to let this guy come to my brigade and be a deputy battalion commander."
Li Yunlong, who was originally chewing radish peel happily, immediately looked depressed.
"No, Brigade Commander, I only have a few capable officers and soldiers.
You took one away, what should I do? "
"I was planning to make him the battalion commander."
Looking at Li Yunlong's reaction, the brigade commander immediately realized that there was nothing wrong with his method.
The brigade commander pretended to sigh: "Ah, Li Yunlong, my brigade is also short of people."
“My guard regiment has only a guard battalion of 300 people so far.
Not only are there few people, but the equipment is also not good enough.
Most people don’t have the old sleeve in their hands yet.”
Listening to the brigade commander's words, Li Yunlong said hurriedly.
"Brigade Commander, didn't I just send you five hundred guns?"
He was really afraid that the brigade commander would transfer Qin Yangming away.
This guy is his lucky star.
"Humph, Li Yunlong, don't think I don't know what you sent.
I don't even need to look to know that these are the old Hanyang-made tubes that your new regiment replaced."
"Of the five hundred guns, I think only the three Type 99 light machine guns were captured by you, and they were definitely not intact."
Seeing that his little thoughts were exposed, Li Yunlong instantly realized that the brigade commander did not fire his gun after all.
"Brigade Commander, how about this? I'll give you two Type 92 heavy machine guns and a 60mm mortar."
"I need this little thing from you?"
Li Yunlong was still hoping for a lucky break, but when he saw the brigade commander's disdainful look, he realized that he would really have to suffer the consequences this time.
"They all say drinking is a hindrance to things,
Li Yunlong, ah Li Yunlong,
Why are you staying here to drink when you have nothing better to do?
It’s not like the new group is out of wine to drink.
Now, after drinking a meal, I have to buy a Type 92 infantry gun.
This wine is damn expensive."
Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and said, "Brigade Commander, add another Type 92 infantry gun and forty rounds of ammunition!"
The brigade commander was actually quite satisfied with the equipment Li Yunlong handed over.
But he still cheated out of habit.
"Forget it, seeing how stingy you are, I don't want the equipment anymore.
Take those five hundred guns with you later.
I think it would be better to let Xiao Qin come here to be the deputy battalion commander."
"No, Brigade Commander, four Type 92 heavy machine guns,
With 10,000 rounds of ammunition,
One, no, two 60mm mortars,
With a hundred shells outside,
A Type 92 infantry gun,
Fifty shells outside!
Brigade Commander, this is the equipment of a machine gun company.
One person is worth a machine gun battery.
Who is worth so much money? "
Hearing what Li Yunlong had to say, the brigade commander was also a little surprised.
"How much good stuff did this kid get? He almost doubled the money!"
However, he still spoke without changing his expression.
"My head can be exchanged for an entire artillery regiment, not to mention a machine gun company."
"Li Yunlong, tell me the truth, how much good stuff did you get from this battle?"
"Don't play dumb with me, kid.
I'll go and see for myself.
Tell me the current equipment of your new regiment honestly. "
Li Yunlong was now in a state of grievance without any words. After just a few words, his family fortune was taken away by the brigade commander.
After hearing what Li Yunlong reported about his family background, the brigade commander and the political commissar were also shocked.
"Oh my god, Li Yunlong, you really made a fortune."
"Li Yunlong, I really wish you good fortune and prosperity."
