Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

If Li Yunlong and his men had not attacked the Japanese airport, captured the Japanese pilots inside, and allowed the Japanese to bring them out, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

He would definitely be taken by the Japanese for experiments and then die miserably in extreme pain. Thinking of this, Zhao Jiucheng couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.

"Old Li, it's a good thing you took action, otherwise you can imagine what would have happened to me. I toast to you." Zhao Jiucheng picked up Li Yunlong's Fenjiu, poured a bowl for Li Yunlong first, and then poured a bowl for himself.

"Old Zhao, why are you being so polite to me? This is all a coincidence." Li Yunlong said this, but he still clinked his bowl with Zhao Jiucheng and then drank up the wine in the bowl.

Because if he didn't drink the wine, Zhao Jiucheng would always be thinking about it.

"Come to think of it, your attack on the airport was due to the invitation of the Northeastern Army, right?" Zhao Jiucheng guessed. Based on the coincidence Li Yunlong just mentioned, it was not difficult to guess.

"That's right." Li Yunlong smiled. Although they trusted Zhao Jiucheng now, he still had to pass the review. Otherwise, if they directly told the news about Li Jin to the leader, he would inevitably be scolded.

"I heard from Lao Zhang that the Northeast Army had left the army. I didn't expect that after leaving the army, they became stronger and stronger. It was amazing.

It's a pity that I didn't get to have a drink with him. I'll have to thank him later." Zhao Jiucheng sighed.

When Li Yunlong and the others heard these words, they almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"There will be a chance." Li Yunlong said, trying hard to suppress his smile.

"By the way, what is the name of the commander of this Northeast Army?!" Zhao Jiucheng asked. He might meet him in future battles.

"His name is Mu Jin." Li Yunlong said Li Jin's alias.

"I've got that. However, doesn't the leader want to win over such a powerful army?!" Zhao Jiucheng was a little curious about this.

The troops that can take down the Japanese airport with the New 1st Regiment must be extremely strong. If they can be recruited into the army, it will be like adding wings to a tiger.

"We've tried to win him over, but he won't come. He said he's used to freedom and doesn't like being bound." Zhao Gang said at this time.

"I think they may not believe it, and maybe they will join in the future." Zhao Jiucheng thought for a while and said.

According to Zhang Kui, this Northeast Army was dissatisfied with the discriminatory treatment from the National Army and left because they were not getting supplies after fighting.

Now the other party is unwilling to join them, probably because he is worried about this.

"What you said is very likely. Let's talk about the Japanese laboratory." Li Yunlong agreed and quickly changed the subject. He felt that if he continued talking about it, he might not be able to hold it in any longer.

"Well, I estimate that this devil's laboratory is hidden in a county town not far from Taiyuan. I think we can investigate in counties within a radius of 150 miles away from Taiyuan." Zhao Jiuchen nodded and then expressed his rough guess.

The Japanese laboratory must be not far from Taiyuan. Although there are many counties within a hundred miles of Taiyuan, they can still be checked.

It just takes more time.

"Especially some unimportant county towns, but there are places that are guarded far beyond this county town." Zhao Jiucheng added.

He felt that the Japanese should be very concerned about this laboratory, so they would definitely arrange a lot of guards to protect it.

Places with more guards but not particularly important county locations are very suspicious.

"What you said makes sense, but we can't exclude those counties with few guards just because of this." Li Yunlong nodded and expressed a different opinion.

The Japanese might also have considered these things. After all, sending heavy troops to guard an unimportant city would attract some attention.

"Indeed, we can't be too careless. We should send people to investigate where we need to. If we miss anyone and fail to find anyone, more people will likely be persecuted by the Japanese!" Zhao Jiucheng also felt that Li Yunlong was right.

"In short, after you go to the brigade headquarters tomorrow, you should report this matter to the leader in person, and don't tell anyone about it." Li Yunlong couldn't help but remind him.

If the spies sent by the Japanese knew about it, the Japanese laboratory would most likely be moved again, and it would be extremely difficult to find it at that time.

"Don't worry, I won't tell everyone I meet. Right now, only a few of us here know about it." Zhao Jiucheng said. Although he had mentioned this in the car before, he said it in a very low voice and no one could hear it unless they were very close.

"Well, why don't we stop here tonight? We still have to travel tomorrow morning, so we'd better go and have a rest first." Li Yunlong nodded. He still had to go to the brigade headquarters tomorrow. If he let Zhao Jiucheng and the others go there without being in high spirits, the commander would think that he had not entertained them well.

"Old Li, let's go and rest first." Zhao Jiucheng and the others stood up, said hello to Li Yunlong and went out.

After they left and walked away, Li Yunlong couldn't help laughing. Thinking of how Zhao Jiucheng was trying hard to recruit Li Jin, he wanted to laugh.

"If Zhao Jiucheng knew that the Northeast Army he mentioned were our people, he would probably be so shocked that his jaw would drop." Chief of Staff Zhong said with a smile.

"When the time comes, Zhao Jiucheng will definitely say that we are unkind for not even telling him such an important thing." Deputy Head Qian couldn't help laughing.

"I don't think he should be that kind of person. He will probably just feel happy that our army actually has a force that can defeat the Japanese." Zhao Gang also interjected.

He thought Zhao Jiucheng was a pretty good person and would definitely be happy about it.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. You guys should go back and have some rest. It's okay to sleep until ten o'clock tomorrow." Li Yunlong glanced at his watch and found that it was already past three o'clock.

"Isn't it too late?!" Zhao Gang said. He had to get up at ten o'clock, add the names of these comrades to the list, and then set off for the brigade headquarters. It would probably be dark by the time he got there.

"It's okay. It will be very late when we come back. The leader won't blame us." Li Yunlong knew that Zhao Gang was worried.

But now, the mission has been completed, and there is no rush to bring people over.

"Besides, if the leader would blame us, he would definitely call in advance to inform us to go there earlier. Since he didn't call, then there's nothing wrong, you know." Li Yunlong added that he knew the leader quite well, so there was no need to worry about this at all.

"Okay then." Zhao Gang nodded.

"Old Li, let's go and rest first." Deputy Captain Qian and the others also stood up, and soon Li Yunlong was the only one left in the room.

"Hehe, I'm going to drink one more sip before going to sleep." Li Yunlong looked at the little bit of Fenjiu that was left and started drinking from the bottle. After finishing the wine, he got up with satisfaction, climbed onto the kang, covered himself with a quilt and went to sleep.

.........

The next morning, the sun came out, its golden light streaked across many peaks and fell on the headquarters of the new regiment. Many people couldn't help but bask in the sun to warm themselves up. The sunlight shone through the paper-covered windows and fell on Li Yunlong's quilt, forming spots of light, warming the whole room and dispelling some of the cold!

Li Yunlong opened his eyes, picked up the watch beside him and looked at the time. It was a little past nine fifty.

"I had a comfortable sleep." Li Yunlong stretched himself, got up, put on his clothes and shoes, got out of bed, and folded the quilt and placed it on the bedside before going out.

"Captain!" Monk Wei at the door greeted Li Yunlong quickly after seeing him.

"Monk, is the political commissar awake?!" Li Yunlong asked.

"Report to the regiment commander, the political commissar left his residence a few minutes ago. I guess he went to see those comrades. Do you want to go and take a look too?" Monk Wei reported the matter!
"Well, okay, let's go and take a look." Li Yunlong nodded, and he also wanted to see who the people with problems Zhao Jiucheng mentioned were.

The two men walked towards the residence of those comrades, and when they got there, they saw that those comrades had already started queuing up.

Zhao Gang, Zhao Jiucheng and Deputy Head Qian brought tables to register the names of the comrades.

"Name?!"

"Li Zhuang."

"Where are you from?! Which unit are you from?! What position?!"

Zhao Gang and his colleagues skillfully inquired about the details of these comrades. Li Yunlong came to Zhao Gang's side and watched, his eyes sweeping over those comrades again.

Not to mention, he actually found that several people would unconsciously avoid his gaze, which made him feel that there must be something wrong.

Although his gaze was quite scary, that was only true for people with something to hide. Ordinary people and the soldiers under him did not feel that way.

Of course, Li Yunlong just took a look and did not stay for long, so as not to make those people suspect that he was exposed. If he did something unfavorable at that time, it would be inappropriate.

"Old Zhao, you guys continue with the registration. The monk and I will go have breakfast first." Li Yunlong left the yard after saying this. This was such a small matter that he didn't need to do it himself. Zhao Gang and the others were enough.

When Li Yunlong came back after breakfast, Zhao Gang and others had already recorded the detailed information of those comrades.

"You guys go eat first, then we'll set off for the brigade headquarters. Then, we'll send you back according to the unit you belong to." Zhao Gang closed the notebook and said to these comrades.

"Okay, thank you Political Commissar Zhao." Many comrades began to express their gratitude, and then they walked towards the cafeteria.

After they left, Li Yunlong stepped forward to ask.

"What's going on? Have you taken note of those problematic people?!" Li Yunlong asked.

"Don't worry, I've written them all down. They all belong to different regiments. One of them is even a company commander, and the rest are ordinary soldiers." Zhao Gang took out a notebook and handed it to Li Yunlong.

"The leaders should instruct their regiments to pay special attention to the names of these people to avoid any accidents." Li Yunlong said after taking a look.

"How did you guys rest last night? Did you catch a cold?!" Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Kui and the other three.

"It's okay. The big quilts prepared in your dormitory are really good. They keep warm very well, and the kang is also very warm." Zhang Kui said with a smile.

"Of course, we have robbed many treasures from the devils. If we don't even have a few quilts, we are not a main force.

Now I am a real landlord, how many regiments can compare with the New 1st Regiment in terms of supplies? ” After hearing this, Li Yunlong couldn’t help but brag.

"Mr. Li, please lend a few hundred light machine guns to our regiment. We are just short of firepower." Zhang Kui said quickly after hearing this.

"Damn it, hundreds of light machine guns, how dare you say that? Do you think you can afford it?" Li Yunlong cursed with a smile.

He was just bragging, and Zhang Kui really thought he was a super rich man and could have as many machine guns as he wanted.

"That's not what you said. You are a rich landlord. If you don't have hundreds of light machine guns, you should have those ten, right?!" Zhang Kui said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense. Just tell me how many you want to borrow." Li Yunlong said in a domineering tone. If it were in the past, he would not lend you light machine guns, even rifles.

But since the Xinyi Regiment is so rich now, it is still possible to lend some machine guns.

“How about borrowing ten light machine guns, three heavy machine guns, two hundred rifles, and some bullets, grenades and other things?!” Zhang Kui felt that what he asked for seemed to be a bit too much.

"You kid, I thought you had a lot of stuff, but that's all you have. I'll lend you two more light machine guns and one more heavy machine gun.

I'll lend you two mortars and three boxes of ammunition to increase your firepower." Li Yunlong said generously.

"Old Li, you said it, don't go back on your word!" Zhang Kui said excitedly. In fact, he thought Li Yunlong would lend fewer machine guns, but he didn't expect him to be so generous.

"I'm committed to this. If you regret it, I'm your grandson!" Li Yunlong responded. It's just a small thing, who would regret it?

"Haha, that's great, Lao Li. It seems like you have really become a rich landlord. You can even lend me cannons!" Zhang Kui was very happy and started to praise.

"Of course. You can lend me these guns, but you have to pay them back. The interest will be 90% and 130%. I'll lend you 12 light machine guns and give you 10. When the due date comes, you just have to pay me 13 light machine guns." Li Yunlong seriously calculated the bill.

"Fuck it, is this how nine out and thirteen back work?!" Zhang Kui was so angry that he laughed. He had nine light machine guns and still returned thirteen. What's the difference between this and robbery?

"I'm not joking with you, kid. You don't know how to be funny. With our relationship, you don't even have to pay me back, let alone borrow it." Li Yunlong said with a smile.

"You said it, so I won't return it." Zhang Kui replied immediately.

"You bastard, if you dare not return it, believe it or not, I will beat you to death!" Li Yunlong got anxious when he heard it. He just wanted to be polite. It seemed that Zhang Kui really planned not to return it!
"Haha, I was just joking with you. Okay, okay, I will return the things." Zhang Kui also laughed, and this made them even.

"Old Zhao, go and ask someone to go to the warehouse to get weapons for Old Zhang." Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang and gave him orders. Since he had said he wanted to borrow them, he would not go back on his word. This amount of stuff was really nothing to the New 1st Regiment.
