Hearing Li Qiufan's words, the brigade commander nodded and said: "Okay, on behalf of our Eighth Route Army, I welcome you to join. As for the establishment of you and your brothers, we will discuss it later."
"That's not right, Brigadier. Brother Qiu Fan was brought back by me. He should be one of our Lao Li's men. You can't send him to another place!"
Lao Li was listening and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he anxiously spoke to the brigade commander.
"Hmph, I haven't dealt with you yet! How dare you bargain with me here!"
The brigade commander snorted coldly and said angrily to Li Yunlong.
"Huh? Deal with me? What happened to me?"
Lao Li was a little confused. He took care of what he was doing. He hadn't made any mistakes recently.
Li Qiufan snickered beside him. He understood why the brigade commander wanted to deal with Lao Li. He disobeyed orders on the battlefield and did not break out according to the designated plan, but Lao Li still hadn't come to his senses.
Snapped! The brigade commander threw his riding crop on the table, and then glared at Li Yunlong: "What happened to you? I will tell you today! You kid disobeyed orders on the battlefield and did not break out according to the command of the headquarters. You said what happened to you!" "
When Lao Li said this, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he said angrily: "Brigadier, how could you say that! I was at war with the Japanese and couldn't evacuate at all! "
"Besides, it's all a breakout anyway. Where to break through is not a breakout? Our new regiment even defeated the Sakata Alliance head-on!"
Old Li looked as frustrated as a resentful little woman, staring directly at the brigade commander with resentful eyes.
"Hmph, do you think I can't guess the real battlefield situation?"
"Besides, if it weren't for little brother Li Qiufan and the others, would you have been able to defeat the Sakata Alliance!"
The brigade commander glared hard at Li Yunlong, completely ignoring his resentful gaze.
Li Qiufan almost laughed out loud when he heard this. He actually wanted to give Lao Li a quibble, but he knew the brigade commander wouldn't believe it, so he didn't speak up.
"Oh, the official level is overwhelming. Just do whatever you say."
Li Yunlong sighed and said with a look of despair.
"This is not something I can do on my own. The order from the headquarters has been issued. You have to follow the order over there."
The brigade commander said, taking out an envelope from his pocket and throwing it directly in front of Lao Li.
"Haha, brigade commander, you also know that our old Li is a jerk. Just read what is written here..."
Lao Li smiled sheepishly at the brigade commander, and then handed the envelope to the brigade commander's hand again.
"I won't say anything else, let's just talk about your punishment."
"Headquarters order: Li Yunlong received the order and went to the quilt factory to assume the position of director from now on!"
"What? Let us, Lao Li, do embroidery?"
Li Yunlong was dumbfounded. He could accept even being demoted to company commander, but he was actually asked to be the director of a quilt factory and asked to do embroidery.
"Brigadier, our old Li can't do this job, even if you let me be the company commander!"
Li Yunlong said to the brigade commander, trying to change the punishment.
"Hmph, this is an order from the headquarters, how can I have the final say!"
"Now that the order has been given, you should go back and pack up and set off. The new leader of the new regiment is already on the way."
The brigade commander directly rejected Li Yunlong. It was good that he was not shot for disobeying orders on the battlefield, and he also wanted to let Li Yunlong temper his temper.
Seeing the brigade commander's decisive words, Li Yunlong knew there was nothing he could do, so he sighed and walked out the door.
The brigade commander didn't stop him, thinking that he should cure his stubborn temper.
Li Qiufan felt a little sad when he saw Lao Li's lonely figure. Although he knew the result, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Qiu Fan, that's what I told you, come and sit."
The brigade commander pulled Li Qiufan and sat down directly.
"Qiu Fan, do you have any ideas about the organization after joining the Eighth Route Army?"
"I don't have any ideas. I will do whatever the organization arranges."
Originally, Li Qiufan wanted to follow Lao Li, but Lao Li was going to embroider mandarin ducks for a while, and his men could not wait forever, so he had to follow the organization's arrangements.
"Haha, that's right. Comrade Qiu Fan, your ideological consciousness is very high!"
The brigade commander was very satisfied with what Li Qiufan said and called him comrade directly.
"I have a general understanding of your team configuration. In your situation, I do not recommend integrating into other troops. I am going to let you set up an independent battalion. What do you think?"
After hearing what the brigade commander said, Li Qiufan thought for a moment and thought that this was not bad. Although he did not follow Lao Li, his own team still had the final say. It was an independent organization, so he immediately nodded and agreed.
"As long as you agree, that's it. In a few days, you will send over the roster of your team, and I will arrange for someone to send you the military uniforms. I will also assign you an instructor, and you will serve as the battalion commander."
The brigade commander was overjoyed when he saw Li Qiufan's promise. He decided to train Li Qiufan's team as the main force. After all, his foundation was there, and the guys in his hands were even tougher than his main force.
"yes!"
Li Qiufan stood up and gave a military salute to the brigade commander. From today on, he will be part of the Eighth Route Army. Of course, he must follow the army's formal practices.
"Okay, let's do this for now. When the time comes, you will also report the names of the company and platoon leaders of your independent battalion. You can go back first."
After the brigade commander made arrangements, he issued an order to expel the guests.
"That brigade commander, I have something else to do."
Li Qiufan said coyly.
The brigade commander was a little confused. He had arranged it well. He immediately asked: "What's the matter?"
"Haha, that's it. Can you allocate some ammunition to our independent battalion?"
Li Qiufan licked his face and smiled.
When the brigade commander heard that he was asking for ammunition, his face darkened, and he thought to himself that it looked like there was another Li Yunlong here.
"How much do you want?"
After all, this was a team that had just entered. Cangyunling had another great victory, and the brigade commander was not too disrespectful.
"Well, just give me some bullets and mortar shells, nothing else."
Li Qiufan was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, the brigade commander did not refuse and immediately spoke.
The brigade commander's face looked fine when he heard the bullets, but when he heard the mortar shells, his face darkened another octave. Then he thought of something and just endured it without having an attack.
"Well, I can only give you one box of mortar shells and two thousand rounds of bullets. What do you think?"
The brigade commander endured the reluctance in his heart and said through gritted teeth.
"Uh, okay!"
Although the items were a little short, Li Qiufan did not bargain. He was afraid that these items would not be given to him in the end. After all, the brigade commander was well-known.
After receiving the ammunition with the note approved by the brigade commander, Li Qiufan hurried back to the station.
As soon as he arrived at the station, Li Qiufan met the new group who was seeing Li Yunlong off, and met Ding Wei, one of the Iron Triangle.
