In the afternoon of the next day, the monk and his party successfully delivered the coins and materials entrusted by Kong Jie to the brigade headquarters and then returned to the station.
At dusk the next day.
Brigade Headquarters.
The brigade commander, political commissar, and chief of staff were warming themselves around the coal stove in the earthen house at the brigade headquarters. They watched the two pieces of briquettes placed in the hollow area of the coal stove being burned red, and the light blue briquettes burning above them. flame.
It's almost the end of the month, and the temperature in northwestern Shanxi has dropped again.
The weather is as cold as a knife, and if you stand outside, you won't be able to bear it for a while.
At this moment, the temperature raised by the complete combustion of the briquettes has taken away a lot of the chill in the room.
"The fire is too big. It's such a waste. If this continues, the briquettes will soon be used up. Is the bottom cover below used to regulate the air flowing into the coal stove? The instructions seem to have said so. "
The political commissar said, bent down to pick up the stove cover, and slightly covered the vent at the bottom. Sure enough, the flame of the briquettes burning above immediately became much smaller.
The chief of staff muttered: "I heard that this briquette stove was invented by Kong Jie. Tell me, when did Kong Jie become so smart?"
"Is it true that learning makes people improve? After this kid started studying with Zhao Gang some time ago, he started to fight with more and more clever ideas."
"Such a simple structure can create such a convenient heating device. It's really unique."
"In addition, the briquettes are made from the mined briquettes and mixed evenly with the soil."
"No wonder Monk Wei said he came to bring warmth to our brigade headquarters. He really did!"
The brigade commander smiled and nodded, "This coal stove is indeed a great treasure for the cold winter."
With that said, the brigade commander looked outside the room and shouted, "Xiao Chen, I asked you to prepare five coal stoves and send them to the headquarters, and also send warmth to the boss and others. How are the preparations going?"
Someone outside the room responded, "Don't worry, Brigadier, we're ready."
The political commissar said happily: "Brigadier! When you do something good, you are always the first to think of the boss. No wonder the boss is the most partial to you."
The chief of staff said without any surprise:
"If something good happens to this boy Kong Jie, he is also the first to think of our brigade commander. I guess this boy has no good intentions either."
What a word "ye"!
brigadier:"……"
"Ahem, brigade commander, warm the fire, warm the fire!" Seeing the brigade commander's eyes widening, the chief of staff said sarcastically.
Who doesn't know that the brigade commander is at the boss's place? He is an enlarged version of Li Yunlong.
"I'm just afraid that the boss is not in the mood to warm up to the fire."
"During this period, the national army has cut off our funds, and in addition to the recent raid, except for a few troops, most of the combat troops have successfully completed the raid and eliminated many people. Stronghold, but in fact, to win a tough battle, the ammunition consumed is even much greater than the ammunition captured."
"In other words, in the critical battles we fought during the break-up operation, the offensive forces basically fought at a loss."
"The more we fight, the poorer we become, and the more we fight, the less ammunition we have. It's not a good idea to continue like this."
"The boss is really angry right now!"
As they talked, the three of them continued to warm themselves over the fire, and then they sighed. What were they feeling?
He lamented the large amount of coins that Kong Jie asked Monk Wei to send.
Good guy, Monk Wei originally brought two sacks, which were tied tightly, layer by layer. The brigade commander and political commissar thought they were some mysterious objects, but when they opened them, they found a lot of money. !
"The daily tickets and legal currency added together are a total of 800,000 yuan! This money came at a really good time. With this money, the headquarters can finally turn around. I think the boss should also lower his temper. I’m always in the mood to warm up to the fire.”
"By the way, where did this kid Kong Jie get such a huge sum of money?"
The brigade commander was still aware of the situation and said: "You have all heard about the loudest incident in the surrounding occupied areas and counties these days, which is the incident of bandits robbing Japanese and puppet banks."
The chief of staff immediately came to his senses, slapped his thigh, and said happily: "Let me tell you, the bandits don't have the courage, let alone the ability. It must have been done by that boy Kong Jie."
"Good boy, I just moved to a new station. I haven't been idle for two days, and I've been busy again. Now the Japanese and puppet troops around Niukou Village should have a headache again."
The political commissar said: "Kong Jie is a good comrade. What our headquarters needs most right now is funds."
"In the blink of an eye, Kong Jie sent us the money. This guy really seemed to come at the right time, as if he knew what we were short of."
The brigade commander nodded and said with a smile: "As for Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, one of them is very prickly. You want to get angry because of the prickliness. You can't help but want to scold him when they meet. But you know that even if they are prickly, Even if he got angry and scolded him, he didn't care. He was so thick-skinned that he couldn't even tolerate it.
The other one is a slippery guy, so slippery that you can't find any handle on him. He is obviously his superior. If you are not careful, you might be led by that guy. "
The political commissar smiled and said: "Brigadier, do you like to be prickly or naughty?"
The brigade commander thought for a moment and replied: "This stinging head is used to prick the hand, but it can also be used at critical moments. This slippery head is not easy to use, but it can always be used unexpectedly at critical moments."
"If you put it this way, we like both prickly and cunning people. This will show that our brigade has an eclectic mix of talents!"
After saying that, the three of them laughed together.
"Brigadier Commander, speaking of it, it is quite difficult to sneak into the county town of the occupied area, rob the bank of the Japanese and puppet troops, and escape unscathed. If it were really that simple, our army would not be short of funds in these years. "
"It should be a commando team!" said the brigade commander. "A team that was able to sneak into the Japanese hinterland overnight, attack the Japanese Mingbao Airport, and successfully escape, let alone several Japanese and puppet banks."
"The only thing I didn't expect was that this guy was really brave enough to think of such a way to make money."
"Let's keep this matter secret for now. If the boss asks about it personally, we can explain it later. I heard that the Japanese and puppet troops thought it was done by bandits. Although with the intelligence organization of the Japanese and puppet troops, I'm afraid the matter can't be kept secret for too long. , but we can’t reveal the truth first.”
"good!"
……………………
Independent regiment.
station.
The commando team has temporarily ceased operations.
According to intelligence from the county towns, the Japanese and puppet troops have indeed strengthened the security forces in major county towns, and even the inspections at the city gates are much stricter than in the past.
In addition, all the major banks in the county have basically deployed additional Japanese and puppet troops to guard against further bank robberies.
Captain Kong smiled brightly:
"This is exactly what we want to see."
"At the moment, the Japanese and puppet troops are under martial law in the county, and most of their attention is on the protection of the bank. Our independent regiment has initially established a firm foothold in the Niukou Village area."
"You still haven't forgotten the raid we carried out a few months ago, right?"
"Now is the best time for us to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army in the Niukou Village area with the base area as the center."
"Our whole regiment uses companies and platoons as separate combat units. In addition, three new battalions also participated in this ambush and guerrilla operations. With the base area as the center, we will move the small and medium-sized strongholds of the Japanese and puppet troops in the surrounding guerrilla areas. Get them all down for me."
"Since our independent group is here, we can't hide it and choke. We must openly tell the little devils that their nightmare has begun!"
Speaking of this, at the combat meeting, Kong Jie looked at the guard company commander Wei Monk and said:
"Monk, the mine in the West Village has been taken down for almost a week, right?"
The monk responded: "Yes, hehe, captain, Xie Baoqing and his group of bandits have already started working in the mine. A lot of coal has been mined in the past few days. The logistics department has used this coal to make a lot of briquettes. Now the group Many of the fighters here can take a sip of hot tea after training."
