Zhaojiayu.
The soldiers in the regiment's cooking squad received orders to prepare the dishes, so the cooking squad leader took out the best ingredients and was busy there.
Everyone knows that the regimental leader and political commissar have to entertain distinguished guests again.
Xiu Qin walked into the new regiment headquarters and took a look. Only Li Yunlong and Huang Erhu were left in the regiment headquarters room. Li Yunlong was lying on the kang reading a book.
Xiu Qin looked at Huang Erhu's feet, and then said to him angrily: "Huzi, please go out for a while, and I will report to the team leader."
Huang Erhu didn't move. Li Yunlong stood up and asked, "Sister Xiuqin, is something wrong?"
"If something happens, I'll report to the team leader."
Li Yunlong waved his hand carelessly and said, "Sister Xiuqin, you have to go to Political Commissar Zhao for this. The work of the Women's Rescue Society is not under my control."
Xiuqin walked into the inner room without saying a word and sat down on the edge of the Kang.
Seeing this, Li Yunlong said to Huang Erhu: "Huzi, take the walkie-talkie to the entrance of the village and keep an eye on it. I guess Boss Chen is coming soon. If he arrives, use the walkie-talkie to notify me and I will go out to greet him personally."
While speaking, Li Yunlong took out a low-power walkie-talkie and placed it on the table, pulled out the antenna and turned on the channel.
"Yes!" Huang Erhu picked up a walkie-talkie and walked outside.
Li Yunlong then looked at Xiu Qin. He had never sat alone with a woman and talked to her in his entire life.
In the purely male world of the military, there are no opportunities to interact with women.
As for the handsome young man from far away from home, he has a sweetheart in his hometown, and he even kissed his sweetheart in the haystack of the threshing floor...
They were all bragging after drinking, making up a vulgar love story.
Li Yunlong poured Xiu Qin a bowl of cold water. Before he asked Xiu Qin what kind of job he wanted, Xiu Qin suddenly started sobbing.
This startled Li Yunlong, and he asked hurriedly: "Sister Xiuqin, what's wrong with you? Is someone bullying you?"
Xiuqin sobbed and said, "Captain, do you look down on me?"
Li Yunlong said: "No matter where you are, I have never looked down on you."
Xiu Qin said: "Then why did you wear the military shoes I made for you on Hu Zi's feet? Or are you wearing rubber-soled shoes and don't like my shoes?"
Li Yunlong was a little confused and asked: "Which pair of shoes did you make? I don't know?"
Xiuqin said: "The ones with the words "Fight to the End" embroidered on the soles and the peonies embroidered on the insoles were made for you by myself. My hands were worn out when I picked up the soles. You were so kind and gave them to Huzi casually. .”
Li Yunlong thought about it carefully and finally remembered that Xiu Qin seemed to have come to deliver shoes before the war.
However, all he could think about was eating the 36th Division to make big business. He didn't think too much at that time and casually gave the shoes to Huang Erhu.
Li Yunlong slapped his head: "Sister Xiuqin, it's my fault. I'm so sorry. If you had told me earlier that you made it yourself, I wouldn't give those shoes to Huzi."
Xiu Qin asked: "Then how are you going to compensate me, Commander?"
"Anything will do." Li Yunlong said, "If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me. If you can do it, I will do it. If you can't do it, I will find a way to do it. Sister Xiuqin, what do you think?"
At this time, Zhao Gang's voice sounded outside the door: "Old Li, Boss Chen hasn't arrived yet?"
"Not yet." Li Yunlong responded.
Zhao Gang opened the door curtain and walked in. He saw Xiu Qin and Li Yunlong alone in a room, and asked in surprise: "Comrade Xiu Qin is here too?"
】
Li Yunlong was afraid that Zhao Gang would misunderstand, so he said, "Comrade Xiuqin came to talk to me about work."
But Xiu Qin said: "Political commissar, you are here at the right time. You can be a witness for me. The regimental leader said that if you have something to do, just say it. If you can, do it. If you can't, do it in a different way."
"The leader said this?" Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong with a smile.
"I told you," Li Yunlong said carelessly, "Once a man has said something, it is hard to follow him."
Xiuqin said: "Okay, let me just say it. The militiamen in the village have issued guns. Why not the Women's Rescue Association? Everyone has a share in fighting the Japanese. Why can we women only pancakes and make shoes?" I know that we can’t all issue guns, but I am a cadre after all, so it’s okay to issue me a gun, right?”
Li Yunlong then prevaricated: "Sister Xiuqin, you have misunderstood me. How can I look down on women? I'm just afraid that if you don't know how to do it, you'll beat yourself instead of the Japanese. I don't think it's better to attack the county this time." We have seized a lot of flower cloth. I will give you as many pieces of cloth as you want. Women are women. It is men’s business to use guns to fight. Why do you need guns?"
Xiuqin said unhappily: "The leader doesn't keep his words. He tries his best to trick people. He is hard to catch up with. He is even worse than a woman."
When Li Yunlong was told this, his expression suddenly became a little uneasy. He took out the Browning pistol that Chu Yunfei gave him, took out the magazine, and plucked a few times with his fingers, dividing the yellow and orange by three and five. He took out the magazine of the bullet, spread the gun and bullets on the table with a clatter, looked at Xiu Qin and said: "Sister Xiu Qin, you press the bullet and load it, and this gun is yours."
In Li Yunlong's view, Xiu Qin is just a girl who grew up in the mountains and has probably never even touched a gun.
How could she, a weak woman, press the bullet and load it?
However, Xiu Qin looked happy: "Do you keep what you say?"
Seeing Xiu Qin's expression, Li Yunlong had a bad feeling in his heart, but at this point he had no choice but to say: "Of course it counts, we want to spit and nail."
The next moment, Xiu Qin unskillfully pressed the bullet into the magazine, inserted the magazine, pulled the sleeve and pushed the bullet into the gun chamber.
Li Yunlong was dumbfounded and made a mistake.
Xiu Qin happily weighed the gun in her hand and said, "That old crow's nest on the tree in the yard is really annoying. I'm going to knock it down."
Her words shocked both Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang. Li Yunlong hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, turn off the safety. This gun belongs to you."
Xiu Qin turned off the safety in a proud tone and said with a smile: "My brother is the battalion commander of the 120th Division. He taught me how to shoot."
Zhao Gang gloated and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to embarrass Comrade Xiu Qin, but now I will lose money, right?"
Li Yunlong said: "What does this mean? I do what I say, otherwise I would still be a man."
Then, Li Yunlong looked at Xiu Qin and said: "Xiu Qin, there are only five rounds of bullets here. Use them sparingly. These bullets will be gone after they are shot. Without bullets, the gun is equivalent to scrap metal. You can return it to me when the time comes. .”
"Why should I give it back to you?" Xiu Qin said unhappily, "This is my gun!"
"Comrade Xiuqin, don't listen to him, he still has a box of bullets there." Zhao Gang revealed, "Even if the box of bullets is used up, and the boss will reimburse him, he can shoot the bullets, and ask the regiment leader for reimbursement. "
Li Yunlong sighed: "I'm afraid of a traitor in everything."
Xiuqin happily went out with a gun.
Zhao Gang looked at Xiu Qin's back and suddenly said: "Old Li, there's something wrong with this girl recently. Why does she always come to you? Doesn't she have a crush on you?"
"That's nonsense!" Li Yunlong took the book and continued reading without paying any attention to it.
Zhao Gang asked: "You gave the pistol to Xiu Qin. What will you do if someone asks you if you see Chu Yunfei in the future?"
"I will give my gun to whomever I like," Li Yunlong said. "If he really wants to ask, I will give it to my wife."
"Besides, if the old one doesn't go away, the new one won't come. When Brother Chen comes, I'll ask him for a better one."
"Ding ding ding——" At this moment, the phone rang.
Li Yunlong walked to the cabinet, picked up the microphone, put it to his ear, and said, "Hey, this is the regiment headquarters."
To Li Yunlong's expectation, Chu Yunfei's voice came over the phone: "Brother Yunlong, it's me, Chu Yunfei."
Anhua, Ping'an and Heyuan counties were captured again. Not only were all the base areas of the new regiment connected, but the territory was also bordered by Chu Yunfei's 358th regiment. Therefore, the two sides were connected by telephone lines to facilitate communication if anything happened. connect.
"Hey, it turns out to be Brother Chu?" Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang and said, "What's the matter?"
Chu Yunfei said: "Brother Yunlong, when will my batch of mule carts be returned to me? Brother, I will use them to transport food next month. The 5,000 people in my 358th regiment are still using them to eat."
"I'm sorry, Brother Chu." Li Yunlong said hurriedly, "I have been too busy these past two days and forgot about this matter. Don't worry, I will definitely send someone to deliver the mule cart to you in two days."
"Okay, I'll wait for the good news from Brother Yunlong." After Chu Yunfei finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Putting the phone receiver back on the phone, Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang and said with a smile: "This Chu Yunfei still doesn't understand our old Li very well. What did he eat and vomit out of our old Li's mouth?"
"If you don't return the mule cart," Zhao Gang said, "Chu Yunfei doesn't have a transportation team, and the thousands of people in the 358th Regiment will probably go hungry."
With a chuckle, Li Yunlong said: "Yan Laoxi has been operating in Shanxi for so many years and has been the king of Shanxi for so many years. His family has a big business. More than 200 mule carts are just a drop in the bucket for Yan Laoxi. The 358th regiment belongs to Yan Laoxi." The trump card in Xi’s hand, Yan Laoxi will never starve the thousands of people in the 358th Regiment. The only reason why the 358th Regiment may have no food to eat must be that we cut off the 358th Regiment’s food route.”
Since the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment arrived in northwestern Shanxi, the 358th Regiment had to go through the Eighth Route Army's defense area if it wanted to transport food from Kenanpo.
However, now we are all friendly forces, and we are all here to fight the Japanese, so the Eighth Route Army will not embarrass the Shanxi-Sui Army's grain transport team.
But if Chu Yunfei did something behind his back, Li Yunlong wouldn't be polite to him.
At noon, the walkie-talkie on the table buzzed, and Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked happy.
Li Yunlong quickly picked up the walkie-talkie, connected it, then put it to his ear and said: "This is the regiment headquarters."
After a while, Huang Erhu's voice came to his ears: "Captain, Boss Chen is here."
"How many people are there?" Li Yunlong asked hurriedly: "Where are they?"
"Just two people, Boss Chen and Yan Shuangying." Huang Erhu said, "We just arrived at the entrance of the village."
"Okay, I understand." After saying that, Li Yunlong hung up the call and looked at Zhao Gang, "Old Zhao, Brother Chen is here. Let's pick him up at the entrance of the village."
"Okay, let's go." With a smile on his face, Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong left the regiment headquarters, and the two walked quickly towards the entrance of the village.
