Chapter 12 Hey, Brigade Commander
Looking at Li Yunlong, who looked like he had it all figured out, Zhang Wanhe was speechless.
Although he often dealt with these "unreasonable" regiment leaders, his fellow villager Li Yunlong always had some new tricks that caught him off guard.
"You, Commander Li, are really bold! You know the production capacity of our military factory, and all the materials have been allocated long ago."
"If every regiment leader came to me with wine and asked for weapons and materials, the logistics department would be in chaos. What's more, these materials belong to the collective, so just give up."
"Do you believe that if I give it to you today, we will be a typical example of a gang leader tomorrow."
Li Yunlong sat next to Zhang Wanhe carelessly, hugged Zhang Wanhe's shoulders and toasted him.
"Hey, what are you talking about? I came here to drink today, and by the way, I came to ask Minister Zhang for help."
"Someone saw me asking for weapons and supplies. We can't slander good people. Who doesn't know the good reputation of Li Yunlong?"
Zhang Wanhe slapped Li Yunlong's hand away in annoyance. It was obvious that this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation. To deal with thick-skinned people, you must stand firm.
"Look at you, you don't look like a soldier, but a businessman. You want to exchange your broken mortar for twenty boxes of grenades?"
"You are so mean. No, not even one box. If you have the guts, go find the brigade commander or the division commander."
Seeing that Zhang Wanhe was a little stubborn today, Li Yunlong got a little anxious, and said sarcastically:
"Look, I heard it a long time ago. It is said that the Minister of Logistics Zhang Wanhe is not from Dabie Mountain. He fled from Shanxi Province. I didn't believe it at first, but I believe it now."
"Director Huang, please judge for our little Li. What does the Logistics Department do? Isn't it to provide material support for our Eighth Route Army?"
"Why can't it be given to our New 1st Regiment? Our regiment is not a parasite that sells weapons and materials."
Huang He, who was drinking and watching the fun, was suddenly mentioned by Li Yunlong. When he was about to speak, Zhang Wanhe stretched out his hand to stop him, signaling him not to interrupt.
Zhang Wanhe said with a serious face:
"You, Li Yunlong, have been in the army for so many years. You don't need me to tell you what the three major and eight major are, do you?"
"All actions are subject to command, speak kindly, return borrowed things, and don't hit or scold people? How many of these can you do?"
Obviously, this touched the pain point of Li Da Tuanzhang. Thinking of the days when he was demoted, he said angrily:
"You are so stingy! It's not a gold ingot. Do you think you can have children if you keep it?"
"Why do other regiments and other troops have it, but my New 1st Regiment doesn't? They are all armed by the Eighth Route Army. Are our New 1st Regiment raised by a stepmother?"
Li Yunlong began to play rogue and brought out a reason that he thought was very reasonable.
Although some of the Mosin-Nagants brought back by Huang He were destroyed by the devils.
But the total number is not small, and there are as many as 1,500 left. And after the ammunition is distributed, each rifle also has two basic bullets.
These materials are distributed by the superiors on demand, but the New 1st Regiment, which is good at doing side jobs, is not on this list.
Seeing others holding those brand new water bullets, Li Yunlong almost drooled, so today he decided to come to the logistics department to ask for an explanation.
"Blind Cheng and Erlang Kong both have ammunition replenishment, why do they have to beg you humbly when they come to me! Aren't we fellow villagers? Why are you so ungrateful?"
"Why should they be ranked ahead of me? One of them was taught by me to shoot, and the other one used a speed selector when he was carrying an old slide."
"If you don't give it to me today, I won't leave, and you have to pay for the food!"
Just as Li Yunlong was complaining, there was a burst of hurried footsteps at the door, and it sounded like the man was wearing military boots.
The door of the house was pushed open, and a domineering man walked in.
"Li Yunlong! What the hell are you doing here? This is the logistics department, not the place where people sell vegetables at the entrance of the village. What do you want to do?"
After seeing the brigade commander coming, Li Yunlong was like a master of face-changing. He stood up immediately, took the brigade commander's whip with a flattering face and said:
"Hey, brigade commander. Why are you here? You didn't tell me in advance. Look, I didn't even have a chance to greet you."
"Come on, brigade commander. Sit here and smoke. This is a good thing that was just seized. Do you want to drink today?"
The brigade commander sat down, looked at the wine on the table, and glanced at Li Yunlong who was handing over the cigarette. Long continued:
"You are so good, Li Yunlong. You not only want to bribe a minister and a director, but also want to bribe me, the brigade commander, right?"
"I heard you talking about seniority as soon as I arrived. I really give you face. You like to talk about seniority, right? Then I have to have a good talk with you today."
"When I was in the army, you were still weaving baskets in Dabie Mountain."
"You also said that Kong Jie carried an old sleeve, and the old sleeve is not a weapon to defend the country?"
"Besides, when you carried the Zhongzheng, do you know what I carried? What do you have to be arrogant about?"
Looking at Li Yunlong's appearance, the brigade commander became more and more angry.
Although he was somewhat partial to his subordinate, partiality was not spoiling.
He knew that if he did not strengthen ideological education, Li Yunlong would cause trouble again sooner or later, and no one would be able to protect him at that time.
"Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, I shouldn't have asked the deputy chief of staff to protect you back then."
"When we were crossing the grassland, you dared to send troops to grab food. Now it's better for you to grab things and go to your own logistics department. How much more do you want to achieve?"
At this point, the brigade commander grabbed the riding whip and whipped Li Yunlong twice with the handle.
At this time, Li Yunlong stood aside like a child who had made a mistake, his head lowered and did not speak. The events of that year were still vivid in his mind.
Seeing that the atmosphere had become so tense, Huang He took the initiative to change the topic.
"Hey, is this the legendary man in Shanghai? Mr. Wang, who claims that as long as the money is in place, he can find out about anything?"
"I am the director of the newly established Procurement Department of the Eighth Route Army. I have something to trouble you with today. I want to ask you to find someone. The commander of our 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is missing. Please help me find him."
Following Huang He's words, the brigade commander and Zhang Wanhe started laughing after being stunned for a moment.
This is in sharp contrast to the embarrassed Li Yunlong. How could poor old Li know about the brigade commander's previous great achievements.
The brigade commander has always been a funny man, and he never minded others making fun of him.
"You are really familiar with me. You dared to joke with me the first time we met, but I like it. Old Liu is right, you Huang He is an interesting person."
"No, you are the contemporary Guan Yu. I have wanted to meet you for a long time."
"There was one sentence I didn't finish just now."
Huang He paused for a moment and adjusted his expression.
He crossed his legs, put his hands on his knees and said pretentiously: "What does arresting Lu Xun have to do with me, Zhou Shuren?"
"Hahaha, you really laughed me to death. It seems that you know a lot of things. After the war is over, I will take you to his former residence. Hey, if I had you back then, I wouldn't have made such a mistake. catch."
The atmosphere in the room relaxed a lot because of Huang He's jokes, and the brigade commander who had been on the front line also felt a little more relaxed.
"Li Yunlong, sit down. For Director Huang's sake, I won't pursue your behavior today."
At this point, the brigade commander noticed that Li Yunlong was about to smile playfully. He immediately returned to his serious expression and said:
"If there is a next time, you won't even have a chance to take the blame. I will clean up the house myself, so you can grow up."
"Hey hey hey, thank you brigade commander."
Li Yunlong sat next to the brigade commander, as humble as a little boy.
"You kid, stop complaining. I know everything about your Xinyi Tuan. He also said that Zhang Wanhe is a local rich man. How can I not know how many things you, Li Yunlong, have hidden?"
"The 772nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment are both good boys. I know all about your Li Yunlong's ability to make extra money. Otherwise, would I let you go to the New Regiment?"
"Let me tell you, when I first took charge of the 386th Brigade, the troops were poorly equipped and lacked training. The most important thing was the lack of rifles."
"In one battle, my supplementary regiment set out to fight, and some soldiers went to the battlefield carrying spears."
"At that time, the soldiers of the first battalion were shouting slogans. Do you know what that slogan was? They said that they would exchange spears for the Japanese soldiers' 38 caps. In that battle, there was a fierce man who stabbed eleven Japanese soldiers to death with his spears."
The brigade commander took a sip of wine and continued:
"Later I asked the division commander for equipment. What do you think the division commander said? Whether I need equipment or not, relying on the assigned weapons is nothing. If you have the ability, you can get it yourself. So, Li Yunlong, don't bother me with such nonsense in the future."
Li Yunlong saw that the brigade commander's anger had subsided, and he quickly got off the slope with a smile.
"Brigadier, let's stop chatting here. Is there anything you want to do here this time?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost tense, Huang He asked what he had been holding back for a long time.
"Yes, your logistics department is closest to our 129th Division. Now the headquarters hopes that your logistics department can properly handle the issue of bullets so that they can be supplied to our entire division with priority."
The brigade commander brought a new problem.
