Chapter 55: Battalion Level
They rode fast all the way and soon returned to Yangcun Station.
At this time, Cheng Shifa and Ding Wei had already left with their respective "errand money", and both of them left Yangcun cursing all the way.
Because after they received the guns, they found out that
What Li Yunlong gave them were old barrels discarded by the independent regiment, and the rifling was worn out.
When they wanted to find Li Yunlong to argue, they were told that Li Yunlong had already taken the supplies to the brigade headquarters. There was nothing they could do, so they could only leave cursing.
As soon as Li Yunlong came back, he called Zhao Gang and Kong Jie to his room.
Kong Jie asked, "How's Lao Li? Does the brigade commander still want to rob?"
"You are talking nonsense, aren't you?" Li Yunlong said unhappily, "If you don't rob, are you still a brigade commander?"
"Old Li, watch your words. What do you mean by robbery? He is not a bandit king." Zhao Gang frowned and said, "The brigade commander did this for the overall situation. He hopes that the main regiments of the 386th Brigade can move forward in unison and form a situation of blooming in multiple places. As the saying goes, a single flower does not make spring, but a hundred flowers in full bloom make the garden full of spring..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense to me. I don't understand."
Li Yunlong interrupted angrily, "I only recognize one principle. If you don't have the skills, don't take on porcelain work. If you don't have the ability to get guns and equipment, don't be the main force regiment leader. Go home and hug your wife and children as soon as possible. You can't get a gun yourself, but you ask the brigade commander to rob the brother troops to help you. What kind of thing is this?"
Zhao Gang said angrily: "This is called parochialism!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Kong Jie quickly interrupted: "Lao Li, how much of our equipment is the brigade commander going to take away?"
"How much equipment is the brigade commander going to take? I'll scare you to death if I tell you." Li Yunlong had a stern face at first, but he couldn't hold it back any longer when he said this. He laughed and said, "Not even a single gun or bullet is going to be taken away!"
"What did you say?" Kong Jie said with eyes wide open, "I don't believe it."
"Do you want me to burn you with my cigarette butt? You still don't believe it." Li Yunlong snorted and said, "Speaking of this, I have to mention Xiao Wang. It was the right move for me to take Xiao Wang with me to the brigade headquarters this time. Damn it, you didn't see it. Xiao Wang directly dug a hole and buried the brigade commander. The brigade commander's expression at that time, hahahaha!"
Li Yunlong laughed and slapped his thighs: "In the past, every time I met the brigade commander, I was always humiliated, but this time I feel really proud. It feels so damn good!"
"So, is this true?" Kong Jie asked, "The brigade commander really didn't want any of our guns or bullets?"
"Really not, and I promise I won't regret it." Li Yunlong said with a straight face, "Old Zhao, and Old Kong, this little Wang is really a tiger general, we have to train him well!"
Kong Jie smiled and said, "Old Li, don't praise me yet."
"Wang Ye is a kid who doesn't like being praised. If he is, something bad will happen."
"Have you forgotten the last time he killed a warhorse without authorization?"
"If you praise him again this time, who knows what trouble he might get into again."
"Bullshit, what kind of military horse is this? It's just a pack horse at best." Li Yunlong curled his lips and said, "I'm just praising. Good soldiers are praised. The more I praise him, the more promising and powerful this kid becomes."
"Okay, then praise me." Kong Jie said with a smile, "Actually, Xiao Wang is really good."
Zhao Gang also nodded: "Comrade Xiao Wang's military accomplishment is indeed very strong."
Li Yunlong continued: "So should our group express some opinion?"
"In the battle of Huting Stronghold, the Wolf Squad and Xiao Wang were the main contributors. Also, this time, Xiao Wang saved the weapons and equipment for our independent regiment. With these two great contributions combined, it's not too much to promote him to the rank of a battalion commander, right?"
"I fully support this." Kong Jie said, "In the battle of Huting Stronghold, if Xiao Wang hadn't led the Wolf Squad to fight in the wind and snow, the opportunity for war would never have appeared so quickly."
"Not only that." Li Yunlong said, "In addition to being able to create opportunities, we must also be able to seize them. If Xiao Wang hadn't seized the fleeting opportunity this time, it would not have been so easy for our independent regiment to capture the Huting stronghold. If we followed the original plan and ground the Japanese out of the stronghold like grinding corn, it would have taken at least several months."
"I think we should promote him to deputy battalion commander first?" Zhao Gang said. "Our party's training of cadres, whether military or political, is not a one-day job. In my opinion, it is better to take smaller steps and walk more steadily than to wait for problems to arise and then try to remedy them, right?"
Kong Jie said: "What the political commissar said makes sense."
Li Yunlong was furious and said, "Old Kong, you are just trying to smooth things over."
As they were talking, a sharp assembly whistle suddenly sounded outside the window.
Then Wang Ye shouted, "War Wolf Squad, urgent assembly!"
After a day of good sleep, the Wolf Warriors are about to start their routine training.
"Let's go and take a look. We'll talk about the level later."
Li Yunlong stood up and walked outside.
Zhao Gang and Kong Jie also hurried to follow.
When the three of them arrived outside in the yard, the Wolf Warriors had already assembled.
Wei Dayong arranged the team and trotted over to Wang Ye to report, "My Lord, the Wolf Warriors have assembled. There are 14 people who should be here. Please give us your instructions!"
Wang Ye returned the salute and said, "At ease."
Wei Dayong turned to face the Wolf Warriors and shouted, "At ease."
The twelve members of the Wolf Warrior Squad all spread their right legs and took a rest.
When Wang Ye was about to give a lecture, he turned around and saw Li Yunlong and three others coming out.
Wang Ye hurried forward, saluted and reported: "Report to the regiment commander, political commissar, and deputy regiment commander Kong, the Wolf Warriors are conducting their daily routine training, please give us your instructions."
"I don't have any instructions." Li Yunlong waved his hand casually, and then said, "One more thing, from now on, you don't have to ask for instructions or report to us three all the time when you see us."
"We all live in the same courtyard, so just do whatever you want."
"If every time we meet it's like this, then we can't do anything serious, right?"
"Yes!" Wang Ye responded, turned around and was about to leave but was stopped by Zhao Gang.
"Wait a moment, little king." Zhao Gang asked, "What did the monk call you just now? Great king?"
"Oh, this is just a code name." Wang Ye said, "Political Commissar, not the mountain king."
"That doesn't sound good either. I suggest you change one." Zhao Gang said, "Of course, I'm just suggesting it."
"Yes, I also think your code names are too difficult to pronounce." Li Yunlong followed up, "What are the Ace of Spades, King of Clubs, Jack of Diamonds, etc.? I wanted to say it last time."
Wang Ye said: "Captain, this is a deck of playing cards."
"Poker cards?" Li Yunlong asked, "What are poker cards?"
Wang Ye was speechless. He really couldn't answer this question.
Li Yunlong added: "Since you are the Wolf Warrior Squad, your code name should be related to wolves, such as Black Wolf, Wild Wolf, Gray Wolf, etc. Such code names are worthy of your Wolf Warrior Squad."
"That's a good idea." Zhao Gang said, "Xiao Wang, I think what the captain said makes sense."
Wang Ye used poker as his code name just out of habit, because his old unit used poker as a code name, but since Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang both thought it was not good, then let's change it.
"Okay." Wang Ye said, "Then let's use Wolf as our code name."
"Oh, that's right." Li Yunlong said with a smile.
"Little King, let me give you a code name. You can call yourself Wolf King. Only the title of King is worthy of you."
"No, I don't want to be a king." Wang Ye waved his hand and said, "For a long time to come, we will be living in the northwest of Shanxi, so I will be called the Northwest Wolf."
"Northwest Wolf?" Zhao Gang nodded. "That's a good code name."
"It's not bad to call him Northwest Wolf." Li Yunlong said with a smile, "It's just a pity to use the code name Wolf King."
Wei Dayong said to Li Yunlong with anticipation: "Captain, since the captain doesn't want the code name Wolf King, why don't you give it to me? My code name is Wolf King, how about that?"
"You? You still want to be the wolf king? You are so beautiful." Li Yunlong scolded, "Look at you, you are so gray . You are a big bad wolf. That's right, your code name is Big Bad Wolf."
Upon hearing this, a dozen or so war wolves burst into laughter.
"Well, this code name suits the monk very well." Zhao Gang also laughed.
"I don't want it." Wei Dayong said anxiously, "I'm not called Big Bad Wolf."
"It's settled." Wang Ye said, "Your code name is Big Bad Wolf."
Wei Dayong didn't dare to say another word, his horse face turned into a bitter gourd.
It's still the same situation. Wei Dayong is not afraid of Li Yunlong, but he is very afraid of Wang Ye, because he can't beat Wang Ye, and he is really afraid that Wang Ye will beat him if they disagree with him.
