Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

Kong Jie counted with his fingers in his hands.

"Then do you know why there are these temporary brigades and new regiments?"

Xing Zhiguo began to point out the theme.

"Because the troops are not enough, we need to expand, but the national government doesn't give us the establishment, so we can only expand by ourselves. Not only do we need to expand, but we also have to break the original organizational system. This is not for..."

Kong Jie stopped suddenly while talking, his eyes lit up: "I understand!"

The volume of this voice was so high that even Li Yunlong was startled.

"It's good to understand."

Xing Zhiguo smiled with satisfaction.

"Old Li, you've thought deeply enough to even take this into consideration."

Like a child who has solved a problem, Kong Jie pulled Li Yunlong and said excitedly.

"If you rely on your brain, it will really hurt people."

Li Yunlong said sarcastically.

He also wanted to keep things simple and hand in everything at once to save trouble.

But if he did that, his trouble would be saved, and the Eighth Route Army would be in trouble.

This has something to do with the current situation at that time.

Because the national government located in the south is the nominal leading body.

But this leading organization just doesn't want to see the Eighth Route Army.

Under the general environment of the whole people's war of resistance, some people with ulterior motives are afraid that the Eighth Route Army will develop and grow, and they are afraid that the Eighth Route Army will threaten the power in their hands, so they suppress it as much as possible.

Although the establishment of an army is nominally given, the establishment is reduced to the minimum. An army of six brigades is probably unprecedented.

With fewer establishments, there will be fewer staff in the establishment, and weapons and equipment, food and materials, including military pay, can all be saved.

Even so, those people still dragged their feet and refused to give it.

With such a small number of people, how could they fight in North China?How to compete with nearly a million little devils?

The Eighth Route Army can only expand on its own, develop its forces, and establish base areas.

The national government does not recognize these troops that are not in formation, and they do not give them guns or food, and they have an attitude that life and death have nothing to do with them.

To put it bluntly, these people do not want the troops expanded by the Eighth Route Army to survive.

This is also the direct cause of the difficult conditions of the Eighth Route Army.

Chapter 810 Three Don't Think About Sleeping

The weapons and equipment seized on the battlefield are generally disposed of by the winning troops according to the rules on the battlefield.

Even if the Independent Regiment captured a lot this time, according to the discipline of the Eighth Route Army, it should be handed over to the [-]th Brigade.

If the [-]th Brigade has leftovers after allocating themselves, then hand over the excess to the [-]th Division, but this situation will basically not happen.

But no matter which level it is handed over to, it is absolutely impossible to hand it over to the national government.

Weapons and equipment are originally used for war, and they are consumables. It is normal to have wear and tear.

Even if the national government knew that the Eighth Route Army had seized the equipment of a regiment of little devils, the Eighth Route Army could still report it on the grounds that most of it was damaged and unusable.

In this way, the National Government had to allocate the weapons and equipment, rations, and military salaries of the Eighth Route Army that belonged to the existing troops.

You can ignore the troops that are not in the organization, or even treat them as non-existent, but the three divisions, six brigades and twelve regiments that are in the organization must be managed. This is the rule. The soldiers and civilians all over the country are watching. The reason for reneging.

But gold and silver treasures are different. These things are money and hard currency, so the seized money needs to be handed over and cannot be kept.

The Eighth Route Army has seized so many gold bars and silver dollars, and they can’t be used as weapons, so let’s hand them over to the National Government. Anyway, the gold and silver treasures won’t malfunction, and even if they are broken, they can still be spent. .

Not handing in?

Then convert it into military pay, and the military pay of the Eighth Route Army's troops will be cut off in the future.

If the amount is huge and far exceeds the amount of military pay, then even weapons, equipment and food supplies will be cut off, and it will be regarded as discounted, and the Eighth Route Army will buy them themselves.

Can't buy it?

Then hand it in, the national government is willing to buy it for you.

If Li Yunlong dared to hand over these two dozen suitcases with great fanfare, it would not be long before the National Government would know that these items were among the booty captured in the Boyang battle.

Immediately after the situations listed above will happen, the national government may even take this as an opportunity to completely cut off the supplies to the Eighth Route Army.

Since then, the Eighth Route Army has become a self-sufficient army that nominally accepts the management of the Nationalist government.

After all the calculations, it was the Eighth Route Army that suffered in the end.

It was with this in mind that Li Yunlong decided to hand over these things to Brigadier Chen in private, in order to hide it from the national government.

Brigadier Chen and the higher-level leaders must have a way to cash out the contents of these suitcases, and then through some special channels, purchase more useful materials for the Eighth Route Army and provide greater support for the War of Resistance.

After Kong Jie figured out the deep meaning of this, there were only four words left in his evaluation of Li Yun, which was scheming.

"Living in the same house and sleeping on the same kang, why is there such a big gap between the two?"

Li Yunlong said contemptuously.

Apparently he was very satisfied with Xing Zhiguo's ability to fully comprehend his own intentions. As for Kong Jie, let him learn how to use his brain more.

"Old Li, maybe if you have these things, your superiors will forgive you."

Kong Jie rubbed his hands together and said excitedly.

Conquering Boyang does not count, but the weapons and equipment and gold, silver and jewelry alone are not a small contribution.

"What do you mean by being lenient to me? Don't forget that you two still have business here, and none of the three of us can escape."

Li Yunlong curled his lips, feeling that Kong Jie was too happy.

"Uh..."

Kong Jie froze, it was true.

Li Yunlong didn't take him and Xing Zhiguo to Boyang at first, in order to clear up their relationship with this matter.

But the two of them insisted on going, so the three of them should bear the responsibility together.

"Okay, okay, don't worry about it here, the sky will fall on me first, go back and rest quickly, after dinner, pick out some of that batch of equipment as a spare, tomorrow our whole group will go to the brigade headquarters to give gifts! "

Li Yunlong sent the two away with a wave of his hand, and squatted under the jujube tree to smoke a cigarette before returning to the house to sleep.

But as soon as he lit the cigarette, he heard footsteps coming from outside the courtyard. When he turned his head, Kong Jie and Xing Zhiguo came back again.

"I said you two are finished? Didn't I tell you to go back to sleep? If there is anything to do, we can talk about it after dinner!"

Li Yunlong casually grabbed a piece of dirt and threw it over.

Kong Jie dodged sideways, and said with a mournful face, "Lao Li, I can't sleep anymore, the brigade commander is here!"

"What?"

Li Yunlong was so shocked that he stood up, his face full of disbelief.

Only a few hours after the independent group came back, Brigadier Chen arrived, not so fast on horseback.

Unless it is calculated and set off from the brigade ahead of time.

"Hahahaha! Captain Li, congratulations, congratulations!"

Before the people arrived, the sound came first, and a hearty voice came from outside the courtyard.

As soon as the words were finished, Brigadier Chen walked in from the courtyard gate with big strides.

Li Yunlong was dumbfounded, he really came.

Brigadier Chen was wearing a gray military uniform, not the iconic black leather trench coat.

But yes, if you wear a windbreaker this season, you will have heat rash in two days.

"What? Captain Li, I'm here to congratulate you, aren't you welcome?"

Brigadier Chen saw Kong Jie and Xing Zhiguo standing by the door like two telephone poles, and Li Yunlong also stood in a daze under the jujube tree, walked forward a few steps, clasped his fists and said again.

He also held a whip in his hand.

"welcome..."

The more Li Yunlong spoke, the lower his voice became, and he became very guilty.

Brigadier Chen's sudden visit completely disrupted his plan, and he panicked for a while.

"Kong Jie, Xing Zhiguo, you two come here too."

Brigadier Chen pointed to the open space beside Li Yunlong with his whip.

The two knew each other, and trotted over to stand beside Li Yunlong.

All three of them stood up straight, like three telegraph poles.

Brigadier Chen walked in front of them, his eyes stopped on their faces, and he suddenly smiled: "Hey, our three great heroes don't look very happy."

"Brigade Commander, don't make fun of us."

Li Yunlong twitched the corner of his mouth, but still didn't laugh, and said awkwardly.

"How can this be sarcasm? Boyang City has been brought down by you, so it's not considered a meritorious service for such a great contribution?"

Brigadier Chen said in a very exaggerated tone.

The eyes of the three were evasive, and none of them dared to say anything.

Brigadier Chen clasped his fists at Li Yunlong again: "Besides, how dare I ridicule you, Commander Li, now who in the entire army doesn't know your name, Commander Li Yunlong? How awesome! Yang, I don't even dare to think about this matter, and I will have to rely on your care in the future."

"Brigade Commander, I'm to blame for this, and I'm all responsible. It's my fault. Please punish me."

Li Yunlong gave a military salute with a "slap" and said loudly.

"Am I right? You, Li Yunlong, still know how to admit mistakes? I thought you didn't even know how to write typos."

Brigadier Chen beat Li Yunlong's chest a few times with the horsewhip in his hand and said.

"Manly man, dare to act, admit mistakes, and correct mistakes!"
