"Teacher, we both really know that we are wrong. I will punish you as you say. We will never say a word!"
Li Qiufan stood up straight and spoke to the teacher sternly.
"Haha, now that you know how to obey, what have you two been doing?"
"Even me, the division commander, doesn't know about such a big military operation. Are you going to wait until you reach Taiyuan before you tell me?"
The teacher didn't take the bait at all and complained angrily.
"Teacher, the work has been done anyway. It's too late to say anything now. It's up to you to kill or behead him!"
Li Yunlong's stubborn temper also grew. He was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water and rushed up despite the teacher's anger.
Li Qiufan felt bad and hurriedly pulled him secretly a few times, but he didn't hold him back at all. Li Yunlong had already finished speaking.
"Okay, Li Yunlong, your wings are strong now!"
"Since your wings are so hard, don't go back to the army yet. With your eloquence so good, I plan to keep you as a clerk at the division headquarters!"
The teacher smiled without getting angry, but what he said hurt Li Yunlong's heart.
"What? Let us, Lao Li, be a clerk? That won't work!"
Li Yunlong waved his hands and refused to agree to anything.
Li Qiufan shook his head helplessly when he saw this scene, thinking that Li Yunlong, a man who was so shrewd in fighting, was so stupid when he stood in front of the brigade commander!
"Teacher, please don't hurt us. We really know that we were wrong. You can tell us what punishment there is from above."
Li Qiufan opened his mouth to help Li Yunlong out of the siege. After hearing this, he already understood that the division commander was no longer handling the matter, but the headquarters had obviously issued the order.
"Hmph, you are quite smart, not like this idiot!"
The teacher looked at Li Qiufan in surprise, and then looked at Li Yunlong in disgust.
"Okay, I'm almost done with my anger. Now let me tell you about the punishment the headquarters will give you!"
"Headquarters ordered that Li Qiufan and Li Yunlong be removed from their posts in view of the fact that they mobilized troops without permission, especially launching a military operation involving tens of thousands of people!"
"However, due to the significant results achieved by the two units and a powerful blow to the Japanese around Taiyuan, the special merits and demerits were balanced and the original position was retained, and the punishment was changed to one demerit!"
The division commander told Li Qiufan and Li Yunlong what the headquarters had done, and then kicked them both in anger.
"Is this the end?"
After being kicked, Li Yunlong asked with wide eyes.
"What? You think you're too young? Why don't you work as a clerk for me for two months?"
Seeing Li Yunlong's reaction, the teacher laughed angrily. This kid was really ungrateful.
"Teacher, Lao Li is confused! The two of us have deeply realized our mistakes and will definitely reflect on it!"
Seeing that Li Yunlong was about to act stupid again, Li Qiufan hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Hmph! What you said sounded like a human being!"
"You two happened to be here too. I have something to tell you. Come with me!"
The teacher snorted coldly, and then led the two of them to the map.
"Next, the division will be merged with the headquarters, and your two troops will be assigned to the Taiyue Military Region, and your old leader will continue to command you!"
The division commander pointed to an area on the map and turned back to the two of them.
"Commander, our 129th Division doesn't want us anymore?"
Li Yunlong's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief.
"Fart! Who said I don't want you anymore!"
"After the division was merged into the headquarters, it still served as the chain of command. The Taiyue Military Region also obeyed the command of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters!"
The teacher scolded Li Yunlong angrily.
"Old Li, please stop saying a few words! Besides, we are working under the old brigade commander, not outsiders!"
Li Qiufan was not surprised, because he had known this for a long time, so he was not surprised at all when he learned that the division and headquarters merged.
"Look at Qiu Fan! When will you have this realization!"
The teacher was still upset and kept scolding Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong also understood what was going on, and immediately stopped talking, like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
"Okay, you get in touch with the Taiyue Military Region as soon as possible. I don't know how to arrange it for you. Just follow the command!"
The division commander waved to the two of them and ordered them to be kicked out. He felt a little tired after scolding them all day, and now he didn't want to see these two losers for a second.
After leaving the division headquarters, Li Yunlong took Li Qiufan directly to his base and refused to let him go back.
"Old Li! Why did you ask me to come here! I'm still waiting to go back and contact the old chief!"
Li Qiufan said angrily, "We have already arrived at the base area, and Li Yunlong didn't say what to do."
"Hey, brother, don't worry! You'll know after a while!"
Li Yunlong smiled mysteriously and comforted Li Qiufan.
More than half an hour later, a soldier came in and said he was ready, and then Li Yunlong took Li Qiufan out.
The two drove all the way to an open space filled with weapons and equipment.
"Brother, this is what I'm going to give you. Brother, you suffered a loss in this battle. We, Lao Li, have not forgotten. This is the equipment of a large group of devils. We, Lao Li, specially set it aside for you!"
Li Yunlong put his arm around Li Qiufan's shoulders and pointed to the weapons and equipment on the ground.
"Old Li, what are you doing all this for?"
Li Qiufan was inexplicably moved. Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong still cared about him and left a batch of weapons and equipment for him.
"Hey, we, Lao Li, can't let our brothers suffer! Just don't worry! Just deal with us, Lao Li, hard!"
Li Yunlong patted his chest and said.
"Old Li, I actually captured Shangyang County and captured a lot of equipment. You can just keep these."
Li Qiufan felt a little sorry when he saw the generous Li Yunlong, and told him about the capture of the county seat.
"What? Did you capture the county seat?"
Li Yunlong was a little shocked. Li Qiufan had never told him this news before. He always thought that Li Qiufan was just pretending to attack the county town.
"Well, they were defeated, so you might as well keep these equipment."
Li Qiufan nodded, not wanting to take advantage of Li Yunlong.
"If you beat them down, beat them down. This shows that you are capable, brother! But we, Lao Li, will not take back the things we sent out. You can take these weapons and equipment back!"
Although he knew that Li Qiufan had captured the county seat, Li Yunlong insisted on giving the equipment to him, which made Li Qiufan very sorry.
"Okay, I won't shirk it anymore, I will accept these weapons and equipment, and I will give you a big gift when I get back, brother!"
Seeing that Li Yunlong still insisted, Li Qiufan no longer shied away, and secretly made a decision in his heart.
"Harm, what is polite or not, we Lao Li don't care about that!"
Li Yunlong shook his head, not caring about these things at all. He simply felt that Li Qiufan was worthy of close friendship.
