Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

At around 1 a.m., Li Yunlong and his men had returned to the New 1st Regiment's sphere of influence, and the battalion commanders also returned to their bases in accordance with Li Yunlong's orders.

Li Yunlong led the rest of the people and walked towards the regiment headquarters.

"Old Li, how many people does your new group have now? I think it should be at least 5,000!" Zhang Kui couldn't help but say.

The new regiment is developing too fast now, with strong soldiers and horses, which makes him a little envious.

His group now has only about 3,000 people, and he thought it was developing very well. However, compared with the Xinyi Group, it is not on the same level at all.

The key point is that these soldiers of the New 1st Regiment all look murderous, even the young recruits are almost the same. They are obviously experienced soldiers who have fought in battles.

It can be said that all the soldiers in the regiment have combat experience, and this force is definitely the strongest one at present.

For other troops, if half of the regiment has soldiers with combat experience, they are considered elite regiments, not to mention that the entire regiment has combat experience. At present, it is estimated that only the New 1st Regiment can achieve this.

"Hehe, you have a good eye. It's just over 5,000, not too much." Li Yunlong looked humble, but actually he was showing off his strength in disguise.

“Damn it, others are just being modest, but you sound like you’re showing off.” Zhang Kui cursed with a smile.

"No way, am I that kind of person?" Li Yunlong said with a serious smile.

"You are!" Zhang Kui didn't give any face.

"Alas, after all these years of being comrades-in-arms, you still don't understand me." Li Yunlong sighed, looking as lonely as the snow, which made the people around him want to beat him up.

"How many radios does the New 1st Regiment have now?!" Zhang Kui changed the subject, unable to bear the look on Li Yunlong's face.

"There is only one radio, no more." Li Yunlong responded, fearing that Zhang Kui would want to borrow the radio from him.

He could lend guns and supplies, but not radios. He had finally managed to get two radios from the leader, and if he lent them out, it would be difficult to get them back.

After all, only a few other regimental-level units have radios, and only the 386th Brigade is equipped with a radio.

"You kid, why don't you tell me the truth? I'm not asking you to borrow money, seriously." Zhang Kui said seriously.

"I'm telling you the truth. There is really only one radio. If you don't believe me, ask my leader." Li Yunlong directly mentioned the leader, completely stopping Zhang Kui's idea of ​​borrowing the radio.

"Okay, okay, if you don't have it, then don't have it." Although Zhang Kui didn't believe it, Li Yunlong's attitude had already made it clear that he would not lend it, and it would be inappropriate for him to ask again.

In fact, he thought it was reasonable for the New 1st Regiment to have two radios. After all, the New 1st Regiment was very strong, and having one more radio would enable them to mobilize troops more quickly and make combat more rapid.

As they walked and talked, their pace quickened unconsciously. At 2:30 in the morning, Li Yunlong and his companions finally returned to the regiment headquarters.

"Lao Zhao, let the comrades who have returned have a midnight snack first, and then let them rest.
Register the roster tomorrow morning, and then we will send the people to the brigade headquarters." Li Yunlong instructed Zhao Gang.

"Okay." Zhao Gang nodded, and immediately took the comrades who were exchanged back to the cafeteria to eat.

"Come with me to my place to eat." Li Yunlong called Zhang Kui and Chief of Staff Zhong to his place to eat, as they had something else to talk about later.

When everyone followed Li Yunlong to his residence, Li Yunlong asked people to move some of the tables against the wall out, otherwise there would not be enough space for so many people to sit.

After everyone was seated, Li Yunlong was in no hurry to have the food served. He had to wait for Zhao Gang to come over, otherwise the food would get cold.

"Old Li, everything has been arranged over there with the comrades." After waiting for a few minutes, Zhao Gang walked in.

"That's fine. Come, sit down." Li Yunlong invited Zhao Gang to sit down, and quickly asked Monk Wei to ask the soldiers in the comrades' kitchen to bring the dishes over.

"Wait for me for a moment." Li Yunlong ran into the inner room and quickly took out a bottle of Fenjiu.

“Old Li, this is not very fair of you. We finally meet each other, but you only treat us with a bottle of wine. Isn’t that inappropriate?!” Zhang Kui joked.

"This kid is definitely reluctant to give it up. He's already a rich landlord, but he's still so stingy." Zhao Jiucheng also said.

“Haha…” Everyone laughed after hearing this.

"Originally, we should have a good drink together when we reunite with you, but considering that we have to leave tomorrow, let's just have a couple of drinks tonight just for show. Next time, next time I will definitely drink with you to our heart's content." Li Yunlong explained.

"You are the host, you have the final say, but when is the next time?!" Zhao Jiucheng asked.

“Yes, this needs to be confirmed first, otherwise it would be just empty talk.” Zhang Kui also seconded.

"Let me think about when everyone is less busy and can get together." Li Yunlong said.

“That’s a little hard to say, but I believe that day will come soon!” Zhang Kui was not joking this time, but looked serious.

"Yeah." Zhao Jiucheng also nodded. After the Japanese were driven out, they wouldn't have to fight anymore and they could get together and drink to their heart's content.

"Come on, come on, let me pour you some wine." Li Yunlong stood up and poured wine for everyone in turn.

"I toast to you." Li Yunlong raised his bowl to everyone.

"It's a rare opportunity to drink the wine offered by Old Li." Zhang Kui raised his bowl with a smile, and everyone did the same.

"That's not the case. I, Old Li, don't toast to everyone." Li Yunlong said and took a big sip.

"Tsk... After being held captive by the Japanese for so long, I finally get to drink some wine." Zhao Jiucheng was very emotional. He had not had a good day since being captured by the Japanese.

If he hadn't thought about getting out alive one day and killing the Japanese to avenge his family, he would have committed suicide long ago and would not have lived to this day.

"Lao Zhao, your hard days are over. When you go back, ask Lao Zhang to prepare some wine for you to drink as much as you want." Li Yunlong said.

"That's for sure. I have to give him a good welcome." Zhang Kui responded. He knew that Zhao Jiucheng had suffered a lot, so naturally he wanted to make it up to him.

At this time, a soldier from the kitchen squad came up with dishes, mostly meat dishes, and a big pot of pork tripe stewed with chicken soup.

"Old Zhao, give me the bowl and I'll serve you some soup. You need to eat some good nourishment." Li Yunlong said as he took the bowl without waiting for Zhao Jiucheng to refuse. He scooped a lot of chicken and pork tripe into Zhao Jiucheng's bowl.

"That's enough, Lao Li. I just need some soup." Zhao Jiucheng said quickly. Li Yunlong looked like he wanted to put the whole pot of chicken and pork tripe into his bowl.

"How can I do this? If it gets out, no one will know that I, Old Li, abuse you!" Li Yunlong didn't listen and scooped a full bowl of pork tripe and chicken soup, but there wasn't much left.

Zhao Jiucheng felt a little amused but more touched.

"I won't serve you any soup. If you want to drink, serve it yourself." After Li Yunlong filled Zhao Jiucheng's bowl with soup, he picked up the spoon and filled his own bowl with soup. After sitting down, he quickly took a sip.

Others also started to get soup, but Zhao Jiucheng looked at the bowl of soup in front of him filled with chicken and pork tripe, but didn't eat it.

"Old Zhao, what are you standing there for? Eat quickly." Li Yunlong urged.

"Okay, okay." Zhao Jiucheng tried hard not to cry and started drinking.

After everyone drank the soup, they began to eat the dishes and rice. During the meal, everyone picked up some food for Zhao Jiucheng from time to time, for fear that Zhao Jiucheng would not be full.

The result was that there was always a lot of food in Zhao Jiucheng's bowl, which made him feel a little amused and helpless. He could not finish it at all.

From time to time, people talked about the past, laughed and cursed the national army from time to time!

They were also tactful enough not to ask Zhao Jiucheng what happened in prison. It was not difficult to imagine that Zhao Jiucheng was treated inhumanely by the Japanese and even lost several fingers. The physical injuries were secondary. The more important thing was the mental damage.

Being locked up in jail for years without seeing the sun, it's hard not to get into trouble.

"Old Li, your food is indeed very rich. No wonder you look a lot fatter. Why don't I come and join you?" Zhang Kui couldn't help but sigh with emotion as his mouth was full of oil.

Two years ago, I would never have imagined that I could eat such good food.

Even though a lot of supplies had been approved by his superiors in the past six months, he had never dared to eat like this. He thought Li Yunlong's place was still better.

"Okay, as long as you come, I will at least make you the squad leader of the kitchen squad!" said Li Yunlong.

"Damn it, you want me to be the squad leader of the kitchen team for you? Are you qualified enough?" Zhang Kui cursed with a smile.

“Hahahaha…” Everyone couldn’t help but burst into laughter after hearing this.

"We've almost finished eating, it's time to talk about business." Zhao Gang said at this time. Everyone had talked about everything they needed to talk about, and it was time to talk about business.

"Yes, that's true!" Zhao Jiucheng nodded, and then told everyone what he had discovered. There were a few people among the comrades who were exchanged who had problems.

"I'm afraid the few people you saw might just be appearances. There should be more people." Li Yunlong said with a serious face after hearing this.

There must be someone who has received professional training from the Japanese and would not be easily exposed.

"You are right. I suspect that someone may deliberately choose to expose themselves after returning, so as to dispel suspicion and collect intelligence.
Focus on investigating former military officers. Once they are reinstated, it will be easier for them to find useful intelligence about us." Zhao Jiucheng also said.

Ordinary soldiers don’t know much, but it’s different for former officers. If they don’t find out at the beginning and are not on guard, it’s easy for something to get into trouble.

"Yes." Li Yunlong also nodded. "The higher-ups will tell us about it. We don't need to worry too much about it. We just need to give them a reminder."

Li Yunlong was not worried about the situation of their New 1st Regiment. Even if the spies knew where the headquarters of the New 1st Regiment was, the Japanese would not dare to send people to attack easily.

"Besides that, there is one more thing..." Zhao Jiucheng then told the situation of the cell where he had been imprisoned.

"I don't even know where that cell is. It's so secretive, there must be something wrong! The key is, the Japanese have tortured me for so long, but they treated me to delicious food and drink during those few days!" Zhao Jiucheng said as he recalled. He felt more and more that the Japanese must have wanted him to do something, but he couldn't imagine what the Japanese wanted to do.

"Could it be that when we attacked the airport, the Japanese knew that we captured those pilots, so they gave you delicious food?" Zhao Gang said.

If the Japanese were worried about the prisoners dying, it would be normal for them to feed them better.

"No, no, no, I asked carefully, the time when you attacked the airport and the time when I was transferred to the cell do not match at all!
It's impossible for the Japs to know in advance that you guys had taken down the airport and captured the pilots." Zhao Jiucheng shook his head repeatedly in denial.

If he was not sure that the time didn't match, he wouldn't have thought so. The key point was that he ate well only when he was locked up in that cell, and his food was just average after that.

"If that's the case, then there is indeed a problem." Zhao Gang frowned when he heard this. Everyone fell into deep thought, wondering what the Japanese were trying to do.

"Do an experiment!" Li Yunlong pondered for a long time and then spoke.

"What did you say?!" Zhao Gang suddenly looked at Li Yunlong.

"The Japs want to use you for experiments! Moreover, this experiment requires the subject to have a barely acceptable body, so that the experiment can produce accurate data!" Li Yunlong said with a serious face. He remembered the attack on the Japs' mine and the discovery of the Japs' laboratory there.

"Damn it, that's really possible." Zhao Gang couldn't help but swear after hearing this.

"What experiment?!" Zhao Jiucheng was a little confused. He didn't understand what was going on at all.

"Over the years, the Japanese have been using our people for bacterial experiments, such as plague experiments, as well as some inhumane mother-infant experiments, blood experiments, and all kinds of experiments.
The Japanese have all kinds of experiments that you can't imagine, but the people they use for experiments are basically our people!!!" Zhao Gang told the story, and when he thought of the scenes he saw at the beginning, he was still shaking with anger.

Because he simply couldn't imagine how there could be such cruel people in the world.

"What?! Fuck these beasts, are they still human beings?" Zhao Jiucheng was furious and wished he could tear those devils into pieces.

The Japanese actually dared to use their country's civilians for experiments. They simply have no humanity at all.

"Do you know these things?!" Zhao Jiucheng asked.

"We've seen it. No, I saw it with my own eyes!" Zhao Gang talked about the scene in the laboratory when they attacked the mine. Li Yunlong and his men were not in the mine, and he was the one who blew up the laboratory.

"Although I haven't seen it, the independent regiment obtained a set of experimental data in the Japanese hospital when it attacked the county town. There were many things recorded on it!" Li Yunlong said. Li Jin told them this.

He was so angry at the time because he had never thought that someone could be so bad.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you could think of these things. Now it seems that the place where I'm being held is most likely the Japanese's laboratory! Damn, I almost got experimented on!" Zhao Jiucheng felt a chill on his back.
