Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

The next morning, Xu Qingfeng brought twenty or thirty soldiers and escorted more than 100,000 dollars to the headquarters of the New 1st Regiment.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang received Xu Qingfeng's telegram early on and specially prepared a war horse for Xu Qingfeng.

"Captain, Political Commissar Zhao!" Xu Qingfeng quickly saluted the two of them.

After the two returned the salute, Li Yunlong said, "Hurry up and get on your horses. Let's go out to the brigade headquarters first. We'll talk about the rest on the way."

"Okay." Xu Qingfeng nodded, gave the soldiers below a few instructions, asked them to follow, and then he mounted his horse.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang did not waste any time and quickly mounted their horses. As Li Yunlong's bodyguard, Monk Wei naturally followed Li Yunlong on horseback.

A group of four people rode away quickly on horseback.

The remaining twenty or so special forces soldiers also hurriedly jogged to catch up, but they had to carry boxes of oceans and could not run fast.

"Xu Qingfeng, you have made another contribution this time." Li Yunlong praised while riding his horse.

"It's just a small achievement, Commander. How is your regiment's new camp going? Are you ready to start recruiting people?!" Xu Qingfeng was humble and changed the subject.

"The organization and everything has basically been finalized. We will start recruiting soldiers later. After the soldiers are recruited and trained, the number of people in our new regiment will be comparable to that of your special operations regiment." Li Yunlong said it directly. This may need to be kept secret from other people, but Xu Qingfeng is one of them, so it's okay for him to know.

"That's great. The stronger you are, the more devils we can kill when we work together." Xu Qingfeng was also happy to mention Li Yunlong.

Of course, what makes us even happier is that when they cooperate later, the New 1st Regiment will be able to withstand more pressure, giving the Special Operations Regiment the opportunity to kill more devils.

"Of course, the New 1st Regiment will not drag you back." Li Yunlong was also full of confidence.

"Speaking of which, that kid Li Jin helped me recruit a group of new soldiers on the way to Yan'an. I have to thank him when the time comes." Li Yunlong said with a smile.

"What?! Recruiting soldiers?! What did he do?!" Xu Qingfeng was stunned when he heard this.

"Uh...what, you don't know?!" Li Yunlong was also a little dumbfounded. He thought Xu Qingfeng knew about this, but he didn't expect that Li Jin didn't tell Xu Qingfeng. If he said it out loud, it seemed like he was causing trouble for Li Jin.

"I don't know, please tell me in detail, commander. Could it be that this kid went to fight the Japanese on the way to Yan'an?!" Xu Qingfeng shook his head and began to guess.

"Well, you guessed it right, but it's understandable for him..." Li Yunlong then explained the details.

"So, it's not Li Jin who took the initiative to cause trouble for the Japanese, but the Japanese were determined to die. We can't let Li Jin ignore the people for the sake of the mission, right? If it were you, you would definitely take action." Li Yunlong added a few more words.

"Well, he did the right thing, but he delayed the time to get to Yan'an. I guess he has to travel a few more hours every day to make up for the lost time." After hearing this, Xu Qingfeng's anger immediately subsided.

If Li Jin had taken the initiative to cause trouble for the Japanese and thus delayed his trip to Yan'an, he would definitely be angry, but this time it was obviously passive. Not to mention Li Jin, even if it were him, he would have made the same decision.

Besides, if this matter were to be known by the leaders, Li Jin would probably be punished.

"Compared with those ordinary people, traveling for a few more hours is nothing. By the way, you have received the full payment from Chu Yunfei this time, right? That kid didn't default on his debt, did he? If he dares to default on his debt, I will never let him off easily." Li Yunlong was talking and mentioned Chu Yunfei again.

"No, he wouldn't dare to deny our debt." Xu Qingfeng smiled. As for the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, no matter who they were going to owe, they probably wouldn't dare to deny their debt.

"Haha, that's right. If they dare to default on their debt, you will have to show up at Commander Yan's bedside that very night." Li Yunlong laughed.

"Captain, don't make us sound so scary, like ghosts." Xu Qingfeng felt helpless.

"You're not like a ghost, appearing and disappearing at will. Li Jin, with about twenty people, scared thousands of Japanese soldiers in a county so much that they dared not leave the city. From this, we can see that you really scared the Japanese soldiers." Li Yunlong disagreed and said this instead.

Besides, there was nothing wrong with his description. The special operations regiment was indeed capable of appearing and disappearing at will and was completely able to make the Japanese devils run around in circles.

"Doing this is somewhat risky. If we meet a young man who doesn't believe that someone is plotting against them and just takes all his men out, he will at least be chased by the Japanese." Xu Qingfeng also pointed out the risks of Li Jin's actions.

If it weren't for the powerful display they had shown before, which frightened the Japanese, Li Jin would definitely be chased and beaten for daring to do this time.

"There are some risks. Even if it's really as you said, Li Jin can handle it. He is not someone who doesn't make preparations." Li Yunlong still has full confidence in Li Jin.

"Well, do you know why the commander asked us to come over?!" Xu Qingfeng asked.

"I guessed some, what about you?!" Li Yunlong responded.

"Me too. If I'm not mistaken, the mission is most likely to exchange prisoners with the Japanese. I sent a telegram to Liu Changshun last night, asking them not to rush back to the barracks and to come to the New 1st Regiment." Xu Qingfeng expressed his guess and also told him his own deployment.

"Well, there's basically no escape. This mission is so important that the commander won't feel comfortable handing it over to another regiment." Li Yunlong nodded.

The commander might not be very confident in handing the matter over to him, but this is the only solution available; they can't let the special operations regiment make the deal.

"I estimate that this transaction address should not be too far from the New First Group." Xu Qingfeng also expressed his own judgment. If it is too far, it would be disadvantageous.

Anyway, the Japanese already know the approximate range of the New 1st Regiment's activities, so there is no point in hiding.

"I thought so too. In short, this mission is very important and there must be no mistakes. I hope the Japanese don't cause any trouble." Li Yunlong sighed. He didn't want the soldiers he had rescued with great effort to encounter any accidents because of the Japanese's lack of martial ethics.

"If they dare to cause trouble, there's no doubt about it. Just kill all the devils." Xu Qingfeng's tone was cold and murderous. It would be fine if the devils didn't cause trouble, but if they dared to, they would all be killed.

"That's right!" Li Yunlong also agreed with this point. If the Japanese didn't take action, they naturally wouldn't take the initiative to attack.

"I just don't know what price the Japanese will send officers to trade with." Zhao Gang interrupted at this time.

"The rank of the person coming is probably no higher than major general. At most, he can be a regiment commander. After all, a major general of the Japanese is also very important. If any accidents occur during the exchange of prisoners, the Japanese will not be able to bear it." Xu Qingfeng thought about it and then expressed his guess.

"That should be the case. We can't let the leader come here. If something happens, we won't be able to handle it." Li Yunlong responded.

While chatting, several people rushed towards the brigade headquarters.

It was not until around two o'clock in the afternoon that several people arrived at the brigade headquarters.

"Monk, hold the horse tight, we are going to see the chief." Li Yunlong dismounted, told Monk Wei one thing after another, and then took Xu Qingfeng into the village. They came to the meeting room with ease, and as soon as they entered the yard, they saw the chief standing at the door.

"I am Li Yunlong, commander of the new first regiment. Nice to meet you, commander!" Li Yunlong saluted the commander solemnly.

"Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the New 1st Regiment, greets the commander."

"Political Commissar of the Special Operations Regiment, Xu Qingfeng, greets the Commander!"

Zhao Gang and Xu Qingfeng also hurriedly saluted the leader.

"Well, come in." The leader made way.

"Hey, Chief, have you had lunch? I have some pancakes here, would you like to try some?" Li Yunlong approached with a smile on his face.

"Stop talking nonsense. Go in and do it quickly. Don't cause me any trouble." The leader said unhappily. He wanted to hit Li Yunlong while speaking, but Li Yunlong dodged him.

When several people entered the conference room, the political commissar had already taken his seat. Several people saluted the political commissar before pulling out his chair and sitting down.

"I believe you have probably guessed your mission." The chief sat in the main seat, glanced at a few people, and spoke slowly.

"Commander, this is about the exchange of prisoners, right?!" Li Yunlong spoke first.

"You are smart, not too stupid. It is related to this. After discussion, the boss decided to assign this task to the New 1st Regiment and the Special Operations Regiment.

Zhao Gang will be in charge of the meeting with the devils, while the special operations team will be on guard in secret. When you return, you can discuss how to guard.

Anyway, if there are any mistakes, don't blame me for being ruthless!" The commander said at the end, especially looking at Li Yunlong.

"Chief, why are you looking at me? I promise to complete the task!" Li Yunlong was immediately dissatisfied and said quickly.

"That would be better." What the leader was most worried about was naturally Li Yunlong. He was afraid that Li Yunlong would cause him some trouble.

"Commander, do you want me to go to the meeting? The regiment commander is here." Zhao Gang raised an objection. Li Yunlong was still there. It would not be appropriate to entrust such an important matter to him.

"What?! You think it's inappropriate?! If Li Yunlong were to go, this guy wouldn't be able to figure it out for a long time.
It would be safer to let Li Yunlong take charge of the surrounding area instead of wasting time. "The leader responded and asked Li Yunlong to meet with the devils. He was worried that Li Yunlong would mock the devils.

And the probability is not low. If he angers the Japanese and the exchange fails, the boss will really kill Li Yunlong. He will have to risk his face to beg for mercy. He can't afford to lose face like that.

"Old Zhao, why are you so hesitant? The commander is right. Old Li will be responsible for safety issues, checking materials and handover matters. You can handle it. Don't consider my feelings." Li Yunlong also spoke quickly.

He didn't want to check any list of supplies, as that was somewhat difficult for him. Professional matters should be left to professionals. He, a rough guy, would just be responsible for preventing the Japanese from causing trouble.

"Okay." Zhao Gang nodded in agreement after hearing that. He was just worried that Li Yunlong would feel uncomfortable. Since that wasn't the case, he couldn't delay any longer.

"It's settled. The chief is still discussing exchanging addresses. You should stay in the brigade headquarters for the next two days and wait for the chief to set a time. Do you understand?" the chief instructed.

"Understood!" Several people responded quickly.

"Xu Qingfeng, you did a great job in attacking Fucheng this time. The casualties were very small. Very good." The chief looked at Xu Qingfeng and praised him with a smile.

In fact, among these people, the one who gave him the least worry was Xu Qingfeng. He was capable and didn't talk nonsense. He was much more obedient than Li Jin and Li Yunlong.

"Thank you for the compliment, Chief. I am just doing what I should do and following the organization's instructions!" Xu Qingfeng responded modestly.

"Li Yunlong, listen to what they say and obey the organization's command. Look at you, you dare to go and fight the Japanese without even saying hello." The leader immediately started lecturing Li Yunlong.

"No, this is what the leader said." Li Yunlong wanted to make an excuse, but when he thought about what he had done, he seemed to have no reason to make excuses.

"Commander, the regiment commander is actually not bad. He is capable and good at leading troops in battles." Xu Qingfeng came out to speak for Li Yunlong.

"Humph, if he didn't have the ability, I would have removed him long ago!" The chief snorted coldly, "Alright, let's leave it at that for now, all of you go out, take a rest if you need to, or wander around if you need to."

"Yes!" Li Yunlong and the others got up and left.

"Chief, we'll go out first." Xu Qingfeng said, and then followed Li Yunlong and the others to leave!

"Looking at these people, only Xu Qingfeng and Zhao Gang are worth worrying about, right?" The political commissar said with a smile on his face.

"Well, in terms of ability, Xu Qingfeng is much stronger than Li Yunlong and others. The key is that Xu Qingfeng always follows the rules in many things and will not easily step out of this line." The leader nodded.

"Indeed, but although Li Yunlong sometimes tends to jump out of this line, he doesn't go too far, and it's very effective. This is why you are willing to save Li Yunlong several times." The political commissar immediately saw the leader's thoughts.

Good babies are good because they won’t cause trouble, but naughty ones are relatively more active and easier to gain an advantage over.

"You still understand me." After hearing this, the leader couldn't help but sigh that the political commissar was like a worm in his stomach and could guess what he was thinking.

"We have known each other for so many years. If I didn't know you, how could we still be partners?" The political commissar also laughed. He and the commander were comrades-in-arms who had fought together many times and knew each other very well.

"Haha, that's right." The leader nodded.

"Commander, come on, is there something you forgot to tell Xu Qingfeng?!" the political commissar couldn't help but remind him.

It seemed that the chief had something very important that he had not told Xu Qingfeng.

"What you mean is, tell Xu Qingfeng to go to Yan'an to study." The leader also knew what the political commissar was talking about.

"What's the hurry? No hurry."
