Chapter 96: The brigade commander came to rob, and Li Yunlong was miserable
Considering the expansion of the independent camp.
Then, Yang Lin fixed his gaze on Luo Jun again and asked, "Old Luo, you said before that there are many armed organizations like your Long Spear Society?"
Luo Jun immediately stood up and replied, "Yes, Captain, there are three groups of people I am friendly with, with a number ranging from 100 to 200 people."
"Captain, if you want to recruit them, I can be your lobbyist!"
Yang Lin thought for a moment and asked, "Oh? What are these people's behaviors like on a daily basis?"
Luo Jun hesitated for a while before continuing, "In the beginning, they were all unwilling to be oppressed by the government, so they formed the organization.
Therefore, they have fought against the government forces. "
Luo Jun was afraid that Yang Lin might misunderstand, so he paused and continued, "However, they have not done anything harmful to the world.
There is no oppression of the good and exploitation of the people.
Moreover, after the Japanese invaded Shanxi, they had killed many of them openly and secretly!
It can be said that they are all armed forces that are determined to fight against Japan.
It's a pity that they didn't make any progress because they had no organization and no logistical support."
"Have you ever fought against the government?"
"If the battalion commander is unwilling to recruit them..."
Yang Lin knew that Luo Jun had misunderstood his meaning, and hurriedly said, "Lao Luo, I think you misunderstood me."
"What I mean is, since they have been against the government, I'm afraid they may not accept my adaptation, right?"
When Luo Jun heard this, he immediately patted his chest and assured: "Captain, don't worry. If they knew that they could join the independent battalion, a heroic unit with outstanding achievements, and follow you to fight the Japanese, I believe they would not hesitate at all!"
"Of course, the premise is that you have to put aside the past grudges."
"What's the point of previous grudges? A month or two ago, I wasn't a bandit either. I also fought against the government!" Yang Lin was overjoyed and said, "It's settled now. As long as they are in the army fighting the Japanese, they are all my brothers, Yang Lin! Once you recover from your injury, go ahead and do it!"
Yang Lin has always been clear about rewards and punishments. After a pause, he said solemnly: "If you can really bring these armed organizations over, then the position of the commander of the 4th Company of our independent battalion will be yours!"
"yes!"
Luo Jun raised his hand, stood up and saluted, saying: "I promise to complete the task!"
He had decided to leave immediately after the meeting.
This is the first task assigned to him by Battalion Commander Yang Lin, and he must complete it properly.
As for the injury on his leg, it was just a stray bullet and did not hurt his bones. After a simple treatment, it was no longer a big deal.
"very good!"
Yang Lin nodded in satisfaction, then stood up, looked around with a sharp gaze, and said, "Okay, today's post-war summary meeting is over. Let's all go back and have a good rest."
"Also, the patrol and alert missions will be temporarily handled by the cavalry. We must not let our guard down and allow the enemy to take advantage of us!"
"yes!"
Everyone agreed in unison, then stood up and left.
…
The other side.
Yangcun, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.
Li Yunlong made a wasted trip and only picked up a few tattered clothes and a few broken guns, all of which others looked down upon.
His heart was filled with rage.
After returning to the base, he began to curse and vent his anger.
He seemed tireless and kept cursing for the entire morning without feeling tired.
"This damn Chu Yunfei is so unkind in what he does!"
"Why did you have to fight the Sakata Unit yesterday when you could have done so many other days? It was a wasted trip for me!"
"Not only did you get there first, but you didn't even leave me some meat!"
Kong Jie on the side couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Come on, Lao Li, you've been scolding for the whole morning. You're not tired, but I'm tired of listening to you!"
"It's not a wasted trip. If we wash and re-dye the Japanese uniforms, we can have hundreds of them."
"Also, if we repair and reassemble those broken weapons , there should be dozens of them, right?"
"We didn't have to spend a single soldier or a single bullet to get these spoils, which is pretty good."
Li Yunlong said with a gloomy face: "Compared with the belongings of the Sakata Brigade, these things are nothing!
The damn 358th Regiment is so rich, yet it's trying to steal our business. I'm so pissed off!"
"Ring, ring, ring, ring..."
Kong Jie was about to say a few more words of comfort when the phone on the desk suddenly rang.
The communications soldier picked up the phone and answered it for a while, then turned to look at Li Yunlong and said, "Commander, the brigade commander is calling!"
"Brigade Commander? What does he want from me?"
Li Yunlong walked over in confusion, picked up the phone and said, "Report to the brigade commander, I am Li Yunlong, the commander of the independent regiment, please give me your instructions!"
The voice of the brigade commander soon came from the other end of the phone: "Li Yunlong, congratulations on your fortune!"
Li Yunlong said with a sad face: "Brigade Commander, please stop making fun of me.
How can I make a fortune? You know the financial situation of our independent regiment. It is nothing compared to our New First Regiment back then.
Now the soldiers can’t even afford food, some are almost begging for food.”
The brigade commander's face suddenly darkened: "How could this be hidden from my eyes? I tell you the truth, I knew about it before daybreak!"
"Tell me the truth, how much benefit did you get this time?"
Li Yunlong was completely confused: "How much benefit did you get?"
The brigade commander said dissatisfiedly: "You are still playing dumb with me, aren't you? The commendation order from the theater commander has been sent to me!"
It would have been fine if the brigade commander hadn't said anything. Once he did, Li Yunlong became even more confused: "Brigade commander, what commendation order? What the hell are you talking about?"
The brigade commander was almost amused by this: "Are you still pretending to be confused in front of me? Did you go to Luo Village last night?"
Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Yes."
The brigade commander added, "That's all. I don't want much. Keep half of the spoils you captured and send the rest to the brigade headquarters!"
Li Yunlong said weakly: "Brigade Commander, we have seized several hundred sets of Japanese uniforms, which we still have time to clean, and there are also hundreds of damaged Type 38 rifles."
"You want this too?"
Hearing this, the brigade commander immediately scolded in dissatisfaction: "Li Yunlong, you are so good! I didn't punish you for mobilizing troops without permission, but you still dared to talk nonsense to me!
You wiped out more than 1,000 enemies from the Sakata Regiment, but you only seized a few hundred sets of tattered uniforms and more than 100 broken Type 38 rifles?"
Li Yunlong was really about to cry. What the hell was going on? Not only was he beaten to the punch in the fight against the Sakata Regiment, but now he was faced with a robber and looting brigade commander. Where could he go to seek justice?
However, Li Yunlong really can't afford to offend the brigade commander.
At that moment, he had to explain: "Brigade Commander, who told you that I wiped out more than 1,000 enemies of the Sakata Regiment? When I led my troops to Linluo Village, there were only corpses of Japanese soldiers lying on the ground, and some were broken. Others looked down on the Type 38 rifle."
"I thought, since I'm here now, I can't make this trip in vain."
"So they stripped the Japanese soldier's uniform, boots and other things off his body."
"Of course, if you really want, I can hand over half of these uniforms, boots, and those damaged Type 38 rifles!"
At the end, Li Yunlong did not forget to make a few insults.
