On the second day, Li Yunlong and Xu Gaoxiang were still hungover, and the entire new group of soldiers were still savoring the smell of yesterday's meat, with faces full of happiness.
"Brother Zhuzi, this is the first time I have eaten such fat pork!" As he said this, the soldier quickly wiped the corners of his mouth.
"Look at your potential, learn from Xiao Lei! You just know how to eat, why don't you help me quickly!"
In a small yard, Wang Chengzhu and Xiao Lei were carefully maintaining the M2-81mm mortar.
After all, they are the treasured heroes of the new regiment. Yesterday, their artillery squad took advantage of Wang Chengzhu. Not only did they get more pork, but they also had two bites of sweet potato roasted by the regiment leader!
The greedy soldier took the mortar mount and wiped it carefully, "Brother Zhuzhu, we only have a few rounds of this shell left. Do you think there will be more of this shell? This is much more powerful than our old cannon." !”
Wang Chengzhu thought about the Xu Gaoxiang he had met, "With our leader here, there will definitely be more!"
"Besides, didn't you hear the strange gunshots at the east end of the village yesterday? Maybe, even this cannon, our captain can get it again!"
It turned out that the news that the regiment had new weapons had spread to the new regiment. The soldiers in each battalion and company felt that they would definitely get it in their own hands. Everyone had their own reasons, but no one would let it go.
The greedy soldier's eyes lit up and he was extremely happy, "Brother Zhuzhu, wouldn't it mean that I can also be assigned a cannon and become the gunner!"
Wang Chengzhu turned to look at him and said, "At your level, you should serve the old cannon! If there is a new cannon, Xiao Lei will be the gunner!"
Xiao Lei smiled honestly when he heard this, "Hey, it's all good lessons from Brother Zhuzi."
The greedy soldier whispered, "Can I compete with Brother Lei? Brother Lei can carry cannons and shells by himself and run twenty miles in one breath!"
Wang Chengzhu slapped him on the buttocks, "There's so much nonsense, why don't you study hard and practice hard!"
Over there, the soldiers of the new regiment were still discussing. Here, Li Yunlong shook his head and walked out of the regiment headquarters, "Who is that, from the communications class, come on?"
The soldiers in the communications class immediately ran out of the room and formed a line.
"This thing must be brought to the brigade headquarters for me!" Li Yunlong selected a soldier and handed him the document bag containing the broken regiment flag and the commendation application for the 1st Battalion and Wang Chengzhu, and asked him to send it immediately Brigade Headquarters.
"Yes, commander! Promise to complete the mission!" The soldier quickly turned around and left, rushing to the brigade headquarters.
"Next, you go and notify each battalion and company, and the whole regiment gathers at the training ground. Take the time and go!" Li Yunlong moved quickly, and the company still had to strengthen the firepower.
It just so happens that Brother Xu's next batch of weapons will be delivered for some time. Let the reinforced company be proficient in these weapons first. After the whole regiment has changed their equipment, the soldiers of the strengthened company will be dispersed. The old will lead the new and in a short time You can quickly form combat effectiveness.
At this time, Xu Gaoxiang walked out with his waist stretched out, and Li Yunlong walked over with a smile, "Hey, Lao Li, I have to trouble your brother!"
"We are all rough guys, illiterate, and I am the political commissar. I hope I can explain to the soldiers how to operate and maintain these weapons, and what things need to be paid attention to?!"
Xu Gaoxiang was very happy, "Haha, no problem, we can also be a teacher!"
Li Yunlong took Xu Gaoxiang to the training ground again, where many soldiers were already lined up.
While Li Yunlong and Xu Gaoxiang were talking and waiting for the new regiment to assemble, the soldiers from the communications squad had already rushed to the brigade headquarters.
After repeated briefings, the document bag was handed over to Chief of Staff Li.
Chief of Staff Li shook his head amusedly, "This Li Yunlong is so thick-skinned that he actually wants a reward?"
"But...what else is in it? Why is it so thick?" Chief of Staff Li bumped the document bag with a look of speculation on his face.
Chief of Staff Li opened the document bag doubtfully. He first pulled out two commendation applications and glanced at them briefly. The first piece of paper contained an application for commendations for the New Regiment and First Battalion and soldier Wang Chengzhu.
When Chief of Staff Li saw the contents on the second piece of paper, his hands suddenly tightened and he grabbed the paper with both hands and looked closely at it.
After reading it, Chief of Staff Li immediately picked up the document bag and slowly took out the contents in anticipation.
When the broken coalition flag was unfurled, Chief of Staff Li could no longer hold back his high emotions and shouted loudly, "Okay! Great!"
To the surprise of others in the brigade, Chief of Staff Li picked up the broken regiment flag without saying a word and happily ran to the brigade commander's room.
"Old Chen, I'm so happy, so happy!"
The brigade commander heard the voice from far away and pushed up his glasses, "It sounds like it's Lao Li? Why are you so happy?"
Without thinking too much, the brigade commander quickly opened the door and walked into the yard, "Old Li, I ate bee poop, so happy!"
Chief of Staff Li raised his head with laughter, "Hahaha, I'm even happier than that! Look, what is this!"
The brigade commander took the broken coalition flag, looked at it carefully, and suddenly raised his head, a little surprised, "Huh? This is... this is Sakata's coalition flag?!"
After receiving Chief of Staff Li's affirmation, the brigade commander was also very happy, "Hahahahaha, you Li Yunlong, you actually hid such a surprise for me!"
"I wonder why this bastard didn't say a word and wasn't worried about punishment! So he was waiting here!"
The brigade commander knew Li Yunlong very well, "If the whole army announces the commendation, this bastard might float into the sky! Then he will dig a big basket for you!"
Chief of Staff Li shook his head, obviously knowing this, "Then do we still report it?"
"Report it, why don't you report it? Why don't you report such a great joy that deserves to be celebrated! Let the people across the country know that our Eighth Route Army is not a fool, and its little devils won't be rampant for long!"
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, Li Yunlong can't change the world! Give him the courage to disobey my command!" The brigade commander was extremely confident.
Soon, the broken regiment flag was sent to the headquarters along with the brigade commander's joint signature.
On this day, in the headquarters, looking at the broken regiment flag on the table, the deputy commander-in-chief and deputy chief of staff laughed heartily, "Hahaha, this kid Li Yunlong can always give you some surprises! Ah, hahaha …”
The deputy commander in chief decided, "Okay, send it to Yan'an immediately and ask the newspaper office to make all preparations for publicity!"
Seeing that the deputy commander-in-chief was in a particularly good mood, the deputy chief of staff asked insinuatingly, "Boss, look at Li Yunlong's punishment..."
The deputy commander waved his hand in a funny way, "Ha, this Li Yunlong! Has he calculated it well? Hand this over, and then there will be a balance of merits and demerits!"
"Hey, he's dreaming. Work is work, mistakes are mistakes. If you have merit, you will be rewarded. If you make mistakes, he can't hide away!"
The deputy commander raised his head with his hands behind his back, "This kid can fight, but he is also a troublemaker! If you don't teach him a lesson, he will definitely make trouble for you!"
"But let's wait and see how Yan'an decides to reward him!"
