Wu Ze opened the door, the sun was shining brightly.
"Oh, the snowstorm has stopped." Wu Ze just murmured and saw Yang Xiuqin and Xiaoqin walking over.
The two of them were carrying baskets covered with cloth, which should be food.
"Sister-in-law, how long have you been waiting?" Wu Ze could see that the two of them had arrived early.
Although Yang Xiuqin is younger than Wu Ze, now that she is married to Lao Li, the title has to be changed.
"Haha, it didn't take long." Yang Xiuqin and Xiaoqin came over with smiles. Wu Ze was very busy at work and his rest time was precious, so they didn't dare to knock on the door in advance to disturb him. In fact, they had been waiting for almost an hour.
"Come in." Wu Ze called them into the house.
"Everything is cold, I'm going to heat it up." Xiaoqin carried the basket to the kitchen.
"Brother Ang, you asked me to come here. Do you have anything to tell me to do?" Yang Xiuqin asked Wu Ze. .
"It's not a big deal." Wu Ze smiled.
"As long as it's your business, Brother Ang, it's no small matter." Yang Xiuqin said solemnly.
"Actually, it's not my business." Wu Ze smiled again and said, "It's the matter of Commander Kong of the Independent Brigade."
"What happened to Brigadier Kong?" Yang Xiuqin still respected Brigadier Kong. He was her husband's old comrade. They fought side by side and had a life-long friendship.
"Brigadier Kong's personal problem." Wu Ze said.
"Is it possible that Brigadier Kong became anxious when he saw our old Li getting married?" Yang Xiuqin said clearly.
"Yes, I have a lot of things to do now. Brigadier Kong has come to me, and I can't refuse directly. So, sister-in-law, this matter..." Wu Ze didn't finish his words.
Yang Xiuqin interrupted with a smile: "Hey, I thought it was a big deal. Isn't it just helping Brigadier Kong find a wife? That's no problem. We, Zhao Jiayu, still have more than twenty single women."
"Sister-in-law, I feel relieved when you say this." Wu Ze said with a smile, "Brigadier Kong is a rough man like Lao Li. Find him a wife, just find one like you."
"Xiao Wu, no problem. I can go to Zhao Jiayu to help with the preparations when I get back." Yang Xiuqin agreed and looked at Wu Ze, "However, I will make arrangements for Brigadier Kong to come over whenever he has time."
"After you make the arrangements, I'll call him and ask him to come over." Wu Ze said.
"Then let's do it today." Yang Xiuqin said directly.
"Okay, okay." Wu Ze nodded, "Then I'll call him now, and you can hurry up and make arrangements."
"Okay, okay." Yang Xiuqin nodded, said hello to Xiaoqin, and immediately went back to Zhao Jiayu.
Xiaoqin heated up breakfast and served it to Wu Ze: "Director Wu, what did you ask Miss Xiuqin to do?"
"Nothing, just asking him to find a partner for Brigadier Kong." Wu Ze said while eating, "If you are fine, you can go back and help."
"I'll wait for you to finish eating, I'll pack up, and then I'll go." Xiaoqin said.
"That's okay, that's okay."
…
independent brigade
"Brigadier, you know, the new brigade is in the limelight again."
The snowstorm stopped. As soon as Kong Jie got up, he came to the brigade headquarters after breakfast, and Xing Zhiguo immediately joined him.
Xing Zhiguo’s current position is deputy brigade commander of the Independent Brigade.
"What's wrong? What did that boy Li Yunlong do again?" Kong Jie heard this and asked subconsciously.
"Brigadier Li ambushed the mechanized troops reinforced by Yoshio Shinozuka, killed ten Iron Kings, and captured two more..." Xing Zhiguo did not finish his words.
Kong Jie glared and almost bit his tongue when he spoke: "What, what did you say? That kid Li Yunlong killed ten iron tortoises and got two back?!"
This time, Li Yunlong wanted to take his troops out to make a fortune, and Kong Jie also went to find Wu Ze, hoping to join him and get rich.
Helplessly, Wu Ze refused on the grounds that the independent brigade needed training.
Kong Jie could only sigh in his heart. He couldn't take advantage of it this time, so he could only seize the time to train the troops as much as possible.
Kong Jie knew that Li Yunlong would definitely make a fortune, but he never expected that such a windfall could bring back two Iron Kings!
The entire Eighth Route Army team doesn’t have this thing yet.
If I had known earlier, we should have shamelessly pestered Wu Ze. Maybe one of the two iron bastards belongs to me, Kong Jie.
"Yes, Zhang Wanhe from the Logistics Department wanted to get his hands on these two Iron Bastards, but he couldn't get them and took them to the arsenal," Xing Zhiguo said.
"Are you kidding me? That guy Li Yunlong is so smart right now. How can he not be on guard against that old guy Zhang Wanhe?" Kong Jie heard this and said, "If it were me, Zhang Wanhe wouldn't be able to swallow him. mine……"
Before Kong Jie finished speaking, he began to regret again: "Hey, why was I so honest before? I should have stayed with Xiao Wu and not left. Otherwise, how could these two iron bastards be used by that kid Li Yunlong?" Take it."
"Brigadier, you'd better look away." Xing Zhiguo advised, "I'm going to put it bluntly, even if Wu Ze lets you out, do you think you can beat the new brigade?"
"Why can't I rob him? This..." Kong Jie immediately glared, and then cursed, "That's right, that's right. As for that shameless guy Li Yunlong, it seems impossible for me to rob him. Forget it, forget it. Now, let’s seize the time to train the troops. When the new year is over, I will go find Wu Ze. If I don’t bring back ten or eight iron bastards, I..."
Jingle Bell!
Before Kong Jie finished speaking, the phone on the table rang.
Xing Zhiguo picked up the phone, answered it, and then handed the phone to Kong Jie: "Brigade commander, Xiao Wu's phone number."
Upon hearing this, Kong Jie quickly took the microphone with both hands, and his tone became extremely polite: "Xiao Wu, is the matter I entrusted to you settled?"
Seeing that boy Li Yunlong making meritorious deeds again, Kong Jie felt anxious.
The matter of marrying a wife must be implemented immediately.
In this way, our Kong Jie is only slightly behind Li Yunlong in terms of military exploits.
"Lao Kong, please come over today. I have made arrangements. When the time comes, whichever girl you like, you will..." Wu Ze did not finish his words.
Kong Jie immediately interrupted happily: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll come over now."
After the call ended, Kong Jie put the microphone back on the stand. Xing Zhiguo was suspicious: "Brigade commander, what makes you so happy?"
"It's a personal matter." Kong Jie said to Xing Zhiguo, "I'm not at the brigade headquarters, you do something good for me."
Fortunately, there is no war now, otherwise, Kong Jie would not be able to leave at all.
Xing Zhiguo can just help with the training of the troops.
"Yes, Brigadier." Xing Zhiguo responded.
"Drive!" Kong Jie led the guards and left the independent brigade headquarters on fast horses.
…
one day later
As soon as Li Yunlong returned to the New First Brigade with his troops, someone came over and handed Li Yunlong an invitation: "Brigade Commander, this is an invitation sent by Brigadier Kong of the Independent Brigade, telling you to attend the wedding. .”
wedding?
When Li Yunlong heard this, he was a little stunned: "Attending a wedding, whose wedding is it?"
"Brigadier Kong's wedding."
"What, is Kong Jie getting married?" When Li Yunlong heard this, he quickly grabbed the invitation and took a look. It was indeed Kong Jie who was getting married, and the woman, Zhao Jiayu, was a girl from a fortress family.
"I really didn't expect that this guy Kong Jie is so ugly, but there is a girl marrying him!" Li Yunlong was greatly surprised.
Yang Dali interrupted: "Old Li, I feel that Brigadier Kong is most likely asking for help in this matter."
"Well, that makes sense." Li Yunlong agreed, "With Kong Erlu's appearance, women would have been scared away when they saw him. He must be..."
Li Yunlong was mid-sentence when he remembered something and said, "Don't think Wu Ze found a wife for Kong Er, the fool."
"Brigadier, I'm afraid only Wu Ze can handle this matter." Yang Dali thought that was right.
"Dali, Dabiao, you guys rest your troops well and celebrate the New Year well. I want to take your sister-in-law to see this stupid Kong Er..." Li Yunlong explained the work while going over.
Now that the war is over and all the Japs in the three divisions have been dealt with, Lao Li has a lot of free time. Kong Er is getting married, so he must go.
Grain smell
"Brigadier, my sister-in-law is not at the brigade headquarters." Someone from the brigade reminded Li Yunlong, "The wife of Captain Yang also left with my sister-in-law."
"Gone, where did you go?" Li Yunlong was confused.
"They said they were going back to Zhaojiayu."
"Got it." Li Yunlong responded, quickly handed over the work, and immediately went to the rear.
…
Zhao Jiayu
"Kong Er is stupid, you kid can do it!" Li Yunlong found Kong Jie and punched Kong Jie: "I led the troops to fight in the front, but you kid in the back quietly found your wife, you are really shameless Take your time."
"You, Li Yunlong, are already married, and I, Kong Jie, am still a bachelor. This is definitely inappropriate." Kong Jie said proudly.
"I just heard from my family, Xiu Qin, that Xiu Qin helped you find the person, right?" Li Yunlong smiled a little abnormally.
"Li Yunlong, I admit that your wife helped with this, but this is a favor I owe to your wife, not to you!" Kong Jie knew what Li Yunlong was going to say, and immediately started doing Tai Chi, "I tell you , don’t use this to blackmail others!”
"You idiot Kong Er, look at your little boy's potential." Li Yunlong scolded, "In your eyes, old Kong Er, I, Li Yunlong, am such a superficial person!"
"Of course not." Kong Jie took advantage of the situation and said, "You, Mr. Li, are a very friendly person and very generous to your friends. When a friend wants to get married, he usually gives a battalion of weapons and equipment as a gift..."
"You idiot Kong Er, you are too damn cruel in collecting money from me." Li Yunlong scolded, "When I got married, I didn't ask you for money like this!"
"Old Li, I just received the news that you killed Yoshio Shinozuka's ten tanks and got two of them back. You made such a huge windfall, do you really want to withhold it like this?" Kong Jie said. Make a pout.
"Lao Kong, how do you plan to repay my wife's favor?" Li Yunlong ignored Kong Jie's words.
"Li Yunlong, your wife didn't even open her mouth. How dare you open your mouth?" Kong Jie extended his hand, "Today is my happy day. Hurry up and give me your share of the money."
"I have money, but Lao Kong, you have to get it yourself." Li Yunlong said.
"Shall I get it myself?" Kong Jie stared at Li Yunlong, "What do you mean? Don't say that the money is in the hands of Yoshio Shinozuka. Let me get it from Yoshio Shinozuka."
"Lao Kong, look, look, in your eyes, can I, Li Yunlong, be such a shameless person!" Li Yunlong said seriously, "I will give you five heavy artillery pieces as part of the money, a 155 mm caliber cannon! "
155 mm caliber cannon! !
When Kong Jie heard this, his eyes immediately widened.
Thinking of something, Kong Jie came up to Li Yunlong and whispered: "Did you really wrap up the heavy artillery of the three divisions of the Japs?"
Kong Jie already knew the news. The Jinsui Army was looking for artillery, but they hadn't found it yet.
"Kong Er, don't talk nonsense, my troops came back empty-handed." Li Yunlong said solemnly.
Kong Jie was used to seeing this guy Li Yunlong.
Immediately, without talking to him, he said: "Then where are your five cannons?"
"Lao Kong, I didn't give you this money for nothing," Li Yunlong said.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Kong Jie was also unambiguous. This guy Li Yunlong was willing to pay such a heavyweight. This thing is definitely very hot and difficult to handle.
"This time we helped the Jinsui Army cut off the retreat of three Japanese divisions, but we were blackmailed by the Jinsui Army again. We, Old Li, must prove our innocence." Li Yunlong looked at Kong Jie, "I didn't take three I just didn’t take the heavy artillery of the Japanese division.”
"Then what?"
"If you have the opportunity to go out for action next year, you, Lao Kong, will take your troops to dig somewhere, bring them all back, and give you five 155mm cannons from them." Li Yunlong said.
"Li Yunlong, you kid said you didn't take it from me..." When Kong Jie heard this, he immediately wanted to curse, but he quickly changed his tune, "Li Yunlong, you said this yourself. I got the things back, and I want a five-door 155mm cannon!”
Kong Jie now understood what Li Yunlong meant.
It is true that Li Yunlong did not take the heavy artillery of the three Japanese divisions, but Li Yunlong was keeping them for these three Japanese divisions and moved them to another place to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Sui Army.
The Jinsui Army suspected that Li Yunlong had hidden the heavy artillery of the Japanese division. Later, when Li Yunlong led his troops on the battlefield, he would be closely monitored by the Jinsui Army.
As a result, Li Yunlong had no chance to bring back the heavy artillery.
Kong Jie's independent regiment will not be so closely monitored. When they go out for activities next year, they will look for opportunities to get the heavy artillery back.
Li Yunlong said that he gave Kong Jie five 155mm cannons as part-time money. In fact, our independent brigade was equivalent to doing part-time work for him, Li Yunlong.
However, among the heavy artillery of the three Japanese divisions, Li Yunlong could easily give me five cannons to Kong Jie. We are really curious as to how many heavy artillery pieces there are in this batch.
"We, Mr. Li, spit on his tongue and say, "I'll give you five doors, I'll give you five!" Li Yunlong is very wealthy.
"Old Li, tell me, where did you put the thing?" Kong Jie was still very curious. Seeing Li Yunlong's behavior, he was 100% sure that the Jinsui Army would not find it.
Kong Jie doesn't have the ability to hide such an important batch of equipment.
"Kong Jie, don't talk nonsense, I'm not hiding anything." Li Yunlong changed the subject, "Your kid can actually get married. I have to take a closer look to see what kind of girl with stable psychological quality the other party is. Not only is he not attracted by you Kong Jie Scared away, I can still marry you."
Kong Jie scolded: "Li Yunlong, you think your boy is good-looking. You are no better than me. Why can you find a wife, but I, Kong Jie, can't!"
Kong Jie stopped talking about heavy artillery. Anyway, it was up to Kong Jie to get this money back for him.
If he were the old brigade commander of the 386th Brigade, he would definitely need more than five heavy artillery pieces if he wanted to make a fortune.
If he were the commander of the 129th Division or another unit, all discipline could be taken away with just one sentence. In this case, wouldn't Li Yunlong's work be in vain?
"Hahaha, I heard from Xiu Qin that you married Zhao Jiayu's second most beautiful girl, but you are still just a little bit worse than me, Li Yunlong." Li Yunlong laughed.
"Li Yunlong, you can pull her down, my wife is Zhao Jiayu's number one girl." Kong Jie retorted.
"Hahaha, Kong Jie has a beauty in his eyes." Li Yunlong laughed.
Kong Jie's wedding was also held in Zhao Jiayu.
The woman's parents are both here, so it's a little better than Li Yunlong to pay homage to the high court. Both Li Yunlong and Yang Xiuqin have lost their parents, so there is no high court to worship.
Of course, Kong Jie's wedding and Li Yunlong's wedding have something in common, they are both lively and lively events.
Another point is that Wu Ze did not participate.
At the wedding, when Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were toasting, Wu Ze secretly met with the Chief of General Staff again.
"Xiao Wu, I'm afraid I have to force you to stay in the logistics for a while longer." The chief of general staff said to Wu Ze, "First of all, I have controlled Lao Zhou. The intelligence obtained from Lao Zhou shows that the Japanese are still There are undercover agents watching the headquarters. I have to find them all before you can go to the headquarters. Second, there is intelligence that Yoshio Shinozuka and Jining Okamura have given up on large-scale troop reinforcements to retaliate against us. Now, they have changed to a spy war and intelligence war, trying to penetrate our camp with all their strength and try to find your traces. At this time, you should stay in the logistics as much as possible and not show up in public."
"I obey the organization's decision." Wu Ze had no objections. "Now the logistics and military industry needs me. I have to hurry up and get the arsenal production line running."
At present, both Okamura Shining and Shinozuka Yoshio gave up large-scale military retaliation and switched to intelligence warfare and spy warfare.
Both of these are the strengths of the Chief of General Staff, and Wu Ze can rest assured.
Next year, the troops of the 18th Group Army will not have to fight against the Japanese army for the time being. They can seize the time to train, and the arsenal to seize the time to produce weapons to prepare for large-scale raids.
"Xiao Wu, if it weren't for the logistics that needed you, I would have sent you to the rear area right away." said the Chief of General Staff. "After the three Japanese divisions were destroyed, the leaders of the rear area praised you very much and even gave you I sent word to the deputy commander that a group of officers will go to the rear to study after the new year, and I hope I can send you there together."
"Ordnance industry construction is very important to our army, especially the batch of semi-finished anti-aircraft guns that we grabbed from the military trains. I have to find a way to make them into finished products." Wu Ze said sonorously, "With the anti-aircraft guns, in the future we will You don’t have to worry about the Japanese planes.”
That's right, in addition to machine tools, the items looted from the military columns also included semi-finished anti-aircraft guns.
As for why this half-finished anti-aircraft gun appeared on the military column, Zhong Ze has not figured it out yet, but Wu Ze judged that it was probably related to the Japanese preparing for the Pacific War.
If the Japanese want to fight the Pacific War, they must work hard to raise armaments. Anti-aircraft guns are important anti-aircraft weapons on warships.
This half-finished anti-aircraft gun is a German-made 88 anti-aircraft gun imitated by the Japanese!
This German-made 88 anti-aircraft gun not only has superior performance against air targets, but also has very powerful lethality against targets on the ground, especially tanks.
With him, not only are we no longer afraid of the Japanese planes, but we are no longer afraid of the Japanese mechanized troops.
Therefore, for the 88 anti-aircraft artillery, Wu Ze also had to work hard on logistics.
"Xiao Wu, can you really build this anti-aircraft gun?" The chief of general staff was looking forward to it.
"I will work hard." Wu Ze nodded.
"Okay." The Chief of General Staff looked at Wu Ze with approval, "If you have any needs, just ask. No matter how difficult it is, I will try my best to satisfy you."
"Thank you, Chief of General Staff, for your support."
"Xiao Wu, you are making a fool of yourself by saying this. You are a rare pillar of our army." The chief of general staff said solemnly.
