"Lao Li, did you catch a cold at night?"
Upon hearing Li Yunlong's thunderous sneeze, Zhao Gang expressed his concern.
"Hey! It's nothing!"
Li Yunlong waved his hands repeatedly, grinned, and at the same time refocused his attention on the jagged map of Central China in front of him with a look of resentment on his face:
"15 group armies, 50 corps! A full one million people! From July to today, they can't defeat 200,000 little Japs! I think the Central Army is going to be finished! Damn it, if we change We, Lao Li, have won the battle long ago, let our brothers eat and drink well, and go straight into the anus of the Central China Front Army! Nanjing City!"
Hearing this, Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, Guan Dashan, Shen Quan and others laughed.
"What's so funny about this! If it were that bastard of mine, one million elites in more than four months would be enough for him to reach the Japanese locust's lair! Drink Ma Mi! Mi! Hu Zi, what's the secret lake? Up?"
"It's Mississippi Lake! Old Li, that lake is not in Tokyo!"
Before Huzi could speak, Zhao Gang spoke directly.
"Where is that?"
Li Yunlong hurriedly asked about the Mississippi Lake. He had always been curious about whether this lake could be bigger than the Han Lake on the outskirts of Xinzhou City. Otherwise, why would my brother be so obsessed with it!
“Mississippi Lake is in America!”
Li Yunlong was surprised when he heard this: "America? Oh my god! It's so far away from China! There must be thousands of miles of land! I heard there is some morgue in the middle! It's all water!"
"Old Li, I told you to study more, what kind of bullshit morgue is that? It's called the Pacific Ocean!"
Zhao Gang took a breath of cold air and looked angry.
"What kind of foreign! What kind of time! It won't be small anyway!"
"Don't talk, let's make trouble! The Wuhan Battle has been stalemate so far, and the Central Army has tried its best! It's a pity that their equipment is too poor, and their air force and navy are limited in number. Even with the help of the Soviet Volunteer Air Force to aid China, they can't stop the Japanese Long-range fire support from a thousand aircraft and dozens of warships! However, this battle is indeed a bit strange. Every time the Central Army moves, the Japanese follow closely behind. Sometimes the two armies even move at the same time! This It never appeared in the Battle of Songhu and the two battles of Taierzhuang!"
"Forget it! Forget it! If we develop flowers here, the CEO won't listen to us, so we should just close the door and live our own lives!"
Immediately, Li Yunlong set his sights on Chief of Staff Guan Dashan:
"Chief of Staff Guan, how is the situation with the soldiers' imitation equipment?"
After hearing this, Guan Dashan reported the situation to the other party.
Speaking of which, the new regiment is now strong and strong!
Since the capture of Xinzhou City and the troop garrison moved from Pianguan to Pianguan, the size of the troop has increased day by day. Under the natural tree of the National Defense Force, the security level of the defense area has been maximized. In the early days, bandits were most likely to cause trouble. They were suppressed and used to solve the bandit troubles. After that, even if he completely takes root in northwest Shanxi!
After receiving the imitation equipment presented by Li Yunfeng, the army's combat effectiveness has become unprecedentedly powerful!
At present, there are five infantry battalions, one machine gun battalion, reconnaissance companies of other regiments, communication companies, special agent companies, service companies, cavalry companies, direct companies, etc. combined together, there are five thousand people!
There are few opponents among the Eighteenth Group Army, and it is the absolute number one force among the 129th Division and more than fifty regiments in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region!
Much stronger than Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment who dominated the Jin-Sui Army back then!
But at the moment, since Beiping and his party chopped off Sugiyama Yuan's head, that kid has also convinced himself to join his brother's defense force, so I'm afraid he is still stronger than himself!
[Damn it, if I had a regiment like the National Defense Force, I wouldn’t necessarily be stronger or weaker than that old boy Chu Yunfei! 】
………………
"Captain! Wake up! Commander! Wake up quickly!"
The next day, when his eyes were bleary, Li Yunlong felt a deep sound next to his ears.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and Huzi's silly face came into view through the weak moonlight.
He raised his hand to open the curtain in front of the bed. After looking around the window at the dark night, he couldn't help but frown and get angry:
"I said Huzi, you are blind! It's still dark outside, no more than 4 o'clock at most. I usually get up at 6 o'clock. What are you going to do? Rebellion!"
"Commander... brigade..."
"What kind of regimental commander! Where did the donkey come from? Let alone a donkey, even if the brigade commander came in person, it's not even dawn yet, so we have to let people go to bed first!"
After saying that, he pulled off the bulging quilt and lay down again!
When they were young, they heard the door of the room being kicked open from the outside in, and the familiar and sharp voice shouted angrily in their ears at the same time:
"Li Yunlong!"
Hearing this, Li Yunlong reacted almost instinctively. He jumped out of the bed like a carp. In the dark atmosphere, he raised his hand and saluted the figure standing under the dim corridor light: "Brigadier!"
"Snapped!"
The light in the room was turned on, and sure enough, the brigade commander stood in front of the door angrily with his hands behind his back.
"You, Captain Li, are so laid-back! Ah! Even if I'm here, I have to let you get enough sleep first, right?"
The other party stepped forward, raised his hand and poked Li Yunlong's chest, half-smiling.
"Hey! Brigadier, there are no combat missions! As long as there are combat missions, don't worry, even if I don't sleep for three days and three nights, it will be no problem!"
As soon as these words came out, the brigade commander's demeanor softened significantly. Li Yunlong took the opportunity to greet him, pulled him to a chair, picked up the thermos with a playful smile, and poured hot water into the teacup:
"Brigadier! My good brigadier! As you know, our new group has been staying in Xinzhou for several months! In addition to beating bandits in the early stage, now there are no saboteurs who disturb public order in society. ! The little devil is focusing all his attention on my little brat and doesn’t like us at all!”
"This situation is not yours! It's like this in the entire northwestern Shanxi, the entire Shanxi, and the entire North China!"
The brigade commander paused and then changed the topic:
"However, the situation may have changed now! I went to Fengzi three days ago. The defeat of the war in Central China has been determined. The former enemy headquarters is considering troops to cross the Yellow River and open up a base behind enemy lines in the Yangtze River Basin!"
"Ah! Really!"
Hearing this, Li Yunlong's expression turned sad, his eyes were as bright as light bulbs, he straightened his back and volunteered:
"Brigade Commander! On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the New Regiment, I am asking you and the former enemy headquarters for a fight! As long as my regiment goes south to the Yangtze River, in one month! I guarantee that in one month we can open up a base area that is no less than that of northwest Shanxi!"
Of course, these words are not just a boast of his mother-in-law!
But the New Regiment is not what it used to be. With its current strength of 5,000 people and all its imitation weapons, it is not a problem to face off against a Japanese army in any area!
What's more, Li Yunlong was originally a militant, but now he has been trapped in this three-acre land in northwest Shanxi for too long! When you hear there is a war, why don't you jump three feet high?
"Don't even think about going to fight in Central China!"
Suddenly, the brigade commander shook his head!
Seeing this, Li Yunlong suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball, and then became angry again:
"Brigadier Commander, if the main new regiment of our division can't go to Central China, then who will go? It won't be Cheng Xiazi's 772 regiment, right? Or Ding Wei's 28th Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei regiment? Otherwise, Kong Jie's independent regiment? Hey !Then we, Lao Li, will have to argue with you!
In terms of troop size, our new regiment has 5,000 troops, which is twice as many as the 772nd Regiment. In terms of combat effectiveness, our new regiment is all imitations. The artillery is all medium caliber above 70 mm. It can challenge two regiments in a one-on-one battle. The team is not a problem; in terms of qualifications, when I officially became the deputy squad leader, Ding Wei and Kong Jie only had old sleeves! ah! Why should they go to Central China to eat meat, while our new group has to stay in Shanxi! "
"I said, I told you not to go to Central China, but when did I tell you to stay in Shanxi?"
"Hmm! Huh?"
Li Yunlong was stunned and froze in place. He had just heard that the brigade commander had rejected his request to fight, so he was too anxious and seemed to have not listened to the whole sentence.
"Li Yunlong!"
"arrive!"
"After careful decision by the former enemy headquarters and the 129th Division! I order you to hand over the northwestern Shanxi defense area to the Chinese Defense Force before December 1st. After completion, immediately send your troops to Henan to open up a base behind enemy lines!"
"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"
Hearing this, Li Yunlong was overjoyed!
Having a battle to fight is certainly one thing, but the more important thing is! Henan and Shanxi are adjacent to each other, and the Xinyi Regiment is no longer the unseen lump of earth before. The troops are also equipped with Japanese-style trucks and even American military trucks. The fastest is half a day, and the slowest is three days. You can come to Taiyuan from anywhere in Henan!
I won’t go to Central China and face my brother across thousands of miles and across a province!
"Brigadier! Thank you! Brigadier!"
Not long after, he grinned widely and leaned in front of the brigade commander to thank him profusely!
"Don't be too proud, there are conditions for you to go to Henan to fight!"
"As long as we can fight, just say it! Are you afraid that we won't be able to take Henan? Don't worry, brigadier commander, if I, Li Yunlong, with five thousand elites, still can't take a piece of the Henan base, you can twist off my head and use it as a chamber pot!"
"Get lost! I have no use for a chamber pot as big as yours!"
Immediately, he looked solemn:
"Li Yunlong, you write the wedding report and I will approve it on the spot! Time is tight and the task is heavy! The wedding must be completed before the troops move to the defense!"
"Ah? Ah? Married? Brigadier, are you okay in the middle of the night?"
It turns out that according to the marriage standards of the 18th Army, all men who apply for marriage to their superiors must be over 28 years old, have more than five years of military experience, and be above the section or battalion level. Only those who meet the above three conditions can Marriage is only allowed with approval from the army level.
Li Yunlong was born in the second year of Xuantong, and on the surface he met the criteria of the 28th, 5th, and 4th camps.
However, due to the current overall situation of the entire nation's arduous war of resistance and the complicated situation between ourselves and the enemy, many base areas have made appropriate adjustments under the standards set by the group army level.
Among them, the 129th Division in North China and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region clearly stipulate that the marriage of officer cadres must meet three conditions: first, after more than ten years of military struggle; second, the military position is deputy regiment or above; third, , the age threshold is thirty years old;
Looking at Li Yunlong again, it has been 12 years since he participated in the Jute Uprising in the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927). Accordingly, he meets the first requirement of more than ten years of military struggle experience; his military position is the commander of the new regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division. , although the New Regiment does not exist in the records of the Central Army, it is an indispensable part of the sequence of the Eighteenth Army!
So there is no doubt that the second item can also be satisfied!
The key is, Article 3!
That's right, despite how old-fashioned Lao Li looks, he actually just celebrated his 28th birthday not long ago! But at that time, he went to Peking with his younger brother and forgot about this! Besides, in this environment of continuous war, who would deliberately remember his birthday!
"Brigadier, our old Li just turned 28!"
"I know! So, I made a special trip to Daxia Bay and used the radio station of the former enemy headquarters to apply to the rear. The boss gave me the power to approve your note! So! Now! Write it immediately!"
"Ah? Yes! But you have to find a girl to apply for marriage!"
"I don't care! Anyway, Fengzi said that I must see you get married before December 1st!"
"Fengzi? Damn it, it's really that little brat! No one but him would have the time to do this! I have to go to Taiyuan to give him a few blows!"
After finishing speaking, he started to walk out of the room, but the brigade commander stood up and blocked him:
"Don't go, Fengzi is not in Taiyuan right now!"
At the same time, Li Yunfeng's signature mischievous smile came to mind!
Then I saw Li Yunlong suddenly twitching, his cheeks turned red!
When it comes to suitable girls, it’s not like he doesn’t have one, Lao Li!
There was Xiu Qin, the female director of Zhaojiayu, who had always been in close contact with him!
Anyone with a discerning eye, even Li Yunlong, can see that this girl is determined to marry him!
But the thirty-year-old age threshold is there after all. Besides, at this time of war and Japanese invasion, everyone is putting their heads in their belts to fight the Japanese, and they may go to see their ancestors one day!
Therefore, even though the two of them were in love with each other, Li Yunlong still refused to give Xiu Qin a definite answer!
But now, the brigade commander's push for marriage is imminent. For this reason, he even breaks the old rules. If he is prevaricated for no reason, it will be difficult for him to deal with the old man. However, since the matter is serious, Li Yunlong still bites the bullet and tries it out. :
"Brigadier, can't this matter be slowed down for a while?"
"There's no way to slow it down! I already have the power to approve notes! Besides, Fengzi is doing it for your own good!"
"Shit, it's for my own good. He just won't have anyone to mess with him for a while, so he's just having fun with me!"
"Not really. Before leaving, he specially approved 10,000 yuan for me as your special fund! You kid, you have such a brother to worry about for you, so just hide in bed and enjoy yourself!"
"But we, Lao Li, don't know all the characters yet, so we can't write a report!"
Li Yunlong burst into tears.
"You, Zhao Gangyan, asked me to write it for you! Oh, by the way, Fengzi also asked me to bring it to you."
Li Yunlong's teeth immediately started to itch when he mentioned his younger brother who had caused undue disaster to him, but when he thought that he was doing it for his own good, he had no choice but to smile bitterly, and at the same time he was a little curious:
"What did that little brat say?"
