The old comrades-in-arms joked and cursed each other a few times. No one had any grudges, and the atmosphere was still very harmonious.
After the joking was over, Li Yunlong asked Ding Wei seriously:
"Old Ding, did you notice any unusual movements of the little devil over there in Yang County?"
"Abnormal? What abnormality?"
Ding Wei was puzzled.
"Yang Yuanshan reported to me that the 37th Division of the Little Japs in Shuiquan is no longer there, and he suspects that the Little Japs have made big moves in other battlefields."
Li Yunlong explained.
After hearing this, Ding Wei pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said:
"When you say that, I also found something wrong. That is that the Japanese devils in Yang County have stopped going out to do activities recently. They have all retreated to the county town. As a result, I haven't eaten meat for a long time!"
"What about the little devil? Has he been transferred?"
Li Yunlong asked nervously.
"I haven't discovered this, but the Japs only have two squadrons of troops in Yang County. Even if there is action in other directions, they can't mobilize these troops, right?"
Ding Wei replied.
"Well, it seems that the little devil is still very cautious, for fear that our retreat will be blocked by us."
Li Yunlong couldn't help but feel very regretful.
"Lao Li, you don't want to make any big moves again, do you?
Didn't you say earlier that the brigade commander asked us not to act without authorization and take the initiative to attack? "
Kong Jie was curious.
"Hey, Yang Yuanshan told me that the little devil Shui Quan only has less than one regiment of troops left. I really want to take this opportunity to unite your two regiments and swallow Shui Quan in one gulp!
By then, the fun in northwest Shanxi will be great. "
Li Yunlong said viciously.
"Good guy, Lao Li, you have a big appetite.
But even if the little devil only has less than one regiment of troops in Shuiquan, it's not easy to mess with.
Don't forget, the little devil is stationed in the Shimen area, where there are heavy troops, at least one or two divisions!
From Shimen to Shuiquan, it only takes two or three days at most!
Even if the little devil marches in a hurry, he can arrive in less than two days! "
Ding Wei has a strong view of the overall situation, and his analysis of the situation between the enemy and ourselves is not limited to just one corner of Shanxi.
"Hmph, if the Japs have a war in other directions, the heavy troops in the Shimen area will definitely be mobilized. By then, there may not be many troops to support Shuiquan."
Li Yunlong's face was also somewhat solemn. He knew that Ding Wei's words made sense.
"Old Li, didn't you say that the brigade commander asked you to write an inspection?
Do you still dare to have Shuiquan's idea? "
Kong Jie even admired Li Yunlong's ridiculous audacity. He was really not afraid that the brigade commander would remove him from his post!
"Hehe, the brigade commander is angry that you didn't report it in advance.
If I want to fetch a spring, why don't I report it to the brigade commander? "
Li Yunlong looked at Kong Jie with contempt.
"How can you be so honest?
What if the brigade commander disagrees? "
Kong Jie felt that Li Yunlong had changed a lot. This was not his previous style.
"Hey, you kid is really stupid.
After I finished my report, the telegraph machine broke down and I couldn't receive a reply from the brigade commander, right? "
Li Yunlong was happy.
As soon as he said this, Ding Wei and Kong Jie both patted the table and said in admiration:
"Good guy, you are so fucking courageous! Hahaha..."
"Okay, stop laughing, I'm serious.
If at any time I really attack the water spring, even if it's too late to notify you, if you find the little devils nearby going to the water spring for reinforcements, you have to help me stop it. "
Li Yunlong said seriously.
"That's for sure.
The little Japanese wants to pass through our defense zone. Can he do it without peeling off his skin?
But Lao Li, do you really want to take advantage of Shuiquan?
This fight was such a big deal that the headquarters had to be alerted! "
Ding Wei and Kong Jie both had shocked looks on their faces.
They thought Li Yunlong was joking just now.
"Hehe, who knows, if there is an opportunity to take advantage, I will definitely not miss it."
Li Yunlong chuckled.
…
Next, Li Yunlong talked with them about developing the base areas and connecting the base areas in the three counties as soon as possible to form a large base area to gain more strategic depth. Then he invited the two old comrades to rest.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, he sent the two of them to the entrance of the village.
At this time, a team of gray military uniforms riding a silver car came flying from a distance.
Seeing this team, Ding Wei asked curiously:
"Old Li, is this yours too?
What is this thing they are riding? "
Li Yunlong took a closer look and immediately grinned:
"Hey, it seems my bike has arrived.
This baby with two wheels is called a bicycle.
That guy Yang Yuanshan picked up a batch and gave me 50 of them. I guess he is sending them to me now. "
After hearing this, Kong Jie said with envy:
“Hey guys, 50 cars?
You kid really made a lot of money.
I've seen Yang Yuanshan's correspondent ride this thing before, and it's much easier to use than a war horse! "
While the three of them were talking, the team arrived at the entrance of the village and saw Li Yunlong. The leader quickly stopped his bicycle, came down and saluted and reported:
"Reporting to the regimental commander, Meng Zhisheng, the platoon leader of the logistics company of the Secret Service Battalion, has been ordered to deliver something to the regimental commander!"
"Okay! Good job, comrades!
What did you send? "
Li Yunlong returned a military salute.
"The battalion commander ordered us to send 50 bicycles, 50 20-shot box guns, 500 38-guns, 30 crooked light machine guns, and matching bullets."
Meng Zhisheng replied.
When Li Yunlong heard this, he knew that this was what Yang Yuanshan had promised to him when he came to the regiment headquarters. He nodded and asked excitedly:
"Where's the stuff?"
"It's all here."
Meng Zhisheng waved his hand, and the 100 soldiers from the logistics company he led unloaded the ammunition boxes tied to the back seats of the bicycles and placed them in front of Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong was even more surprised to see that this bicycle could also carry supplies.
He quickly moved forward to check the ammunition boxes.
When I saw that the 50 box cannons in the ammunition box were all shiny and good things, and the 38-80% large covers were also 70% to 80% new and high-quality goods, I was immediately very satisfied.
He patted Meng Zhisheng on the shoulder and said:
"Not bad.
Thank you for your hard work. You came here early in the morning. Are you hungry?
Let's go into the village and have a meal before going back. "
"No need, captain, our company commander asked us to go back as soon as we deliver the things. There may be other tasks."
Meng Zhisheng quickly refused.
Then he saluted Li Yunlong, told the soldiers to put down 50 bicycles, asked those 50 people to sit on the back seats of the other 50 bicycles, and rode away in a flash.
Yang Yuanshan delayed these days to send things to Li Yunlong. On the one hand, of course, he wanted to deliberately stretch Li Yunlong, lest the guy think that his things were obtained too easily.
On the other hand, it is also to allow the soldiers of the logistics company time to learn to ride bicycles, so that it is convenient to send vehicles over.
Otherwise, it would be silly to send a bunch of people to push bicycles through the mountain road.
Now exactly 100 people came on 100 bicycles carrying things, leaving 50 bicycles behind, and the remaining people went back in two cars. It was perfect.
Seeing that this bicycle could actually carry goods and people, Li Yunlong was even happier. He pushed a bicycle over and rode on it, feeling as happy as if he had eaten bee poop.
Seeing these good things, Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at each other and felt as if they were filled with ten lemons.
Sour.
I feel extremely envious!
Both of them thought: How great it would be if Yang Yuanshan was his subordinate!
Seeing Li Yunlong riding his bicycle crookedly, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were no longer in a hurry to leave, and each found a bicycle and tried to ride on it.
However, it was their first time riding a bicycle and no one taught them the tricks. Naturally, they fell several times and almost broke their waists.
Li Yunlong laughed and taunted him wildly.
It wasn't until nearly an hour later that the two finally mastered the trick of riding a bicycle and finally stopped wrestling.
Feeling the convenience of the bicycle, Ding Wei immediately shouted to Li Yunlong:
"Lao Li, give me 10 of your bicycles!"
Kong Jie also nodded repeatedly and followed:
"Bring me 10 of them, so that communication between us will be much more convenient. The correspondent will ride a bicycle to and fro, which is faster than riding a horse!"
In long-distance marches, due to the poor endurance of the war horses, the efficiency is actually relatively low. After running for a while, you have to come down to let the war horses drink water and eat beans.
But this bike is different. When you have enough energy, you can ride faster. If you don’t have enough energy, you can ride slower. It doesn’t matter. You can travel a hundred or two hundred miles a day without any problems. It’s incredible!
When Li Yunlong saw these two guys actually robbing his precious bicycle, he immediately turned against him:
"You two are thinking nonsense!
I only have these 50 treasures, can I give them to you?
Get down quickly, don't damage my bike. "
Seeing that this guy had nothing to lose, Ding Wei and Kong Jie couldn't help but laugh and cursed:
"You Li Yunlong, you are such a damn iron cock!
If you don’t give us 10 cars, five will be fine. "
"Go, go, there's not one! Get down here quickly!"
Li Yunlong stopped the car and was about to come up to collect the bicycles they were riding.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at each other, turned the car around knowingly, exerted force under their feet, and rode away.
While running, he taunted:
"Li Yunlong, we really rode away on your car. If you have the ability, come and chase it!"
Li Yunlong was almost so angry that his nose was crooked because of the trouble they made. He chased and cursed at the top of his lungs:
"Big head Ding and idiot Kong Er, don't you ever fall into my fucking hands!
Otherwise, I will have to settle this account with you! "
Ding Wei and Kong Jie's security team couldn't help but look at each other in shock when they saw this drama. Seeing that the team leader was about to disappear, they quickly mounted their horses and chased after him.
